Page 40 of The Dragon Recruit
Ignoring her beast, she replied to Antony. “If I told you what she said, you’d probably crash the car.”
“Tsk, tsk, I can concentrate through almost anything, my dear. Now I have to know.”
She muttered, “I don’t know who’s worse—you or her.”
“Hmm, why do you say that?”
Looking at him, she frowned. “You’re human. You shouldn’t have heard that.”
“I may be older than you, but I’m not deaf.”
She eyed his ears. “You have special hearing devices for when you work with dragon-shifters, don’t you? Ones that won’t short out.”
“It’s something we’re working on. But no, I just have keen hearing. So keep that in mind for future mutterings. Aye?”
“Are you mocking me?”
He laughed. “No. But it’s getting easier and easier to figure out how to rile you up, my dear. It’s fun.”
Her inner beast spoke up.Tell him things I say and flash into your mind, and that might rile him.
As her dragon continued showing some of her sex fantasies, Iris smiled and said, “I could unsettle you.”
“Can you, now? I’m intrigued.”
She leaned over and whispered, “My dragon has some rather interesting fantasies, aye?”
“Let’s see if you can shock me or not, then.”
Her dragon laughed.This is going to be fun.
For once, I agree with you.
Then stop stalling.
“Well, let’s start with one of the tamer ones, aye? With me in control, she wants to blindfold you, tease you with a feather and my tongue before taking your cock into my mouth. Then I’dtease you, oh-so-slowly, with licks and light nibbles, until you get close. But then I’d back away and tease another part of you until you beg. Then I’d suck your dick again, pull away, and repeat until you’re sweating and all but begging.”
His voice was a little husky as he said, “I don’t beg in the bedroom, Iris.”
“That sounds like a challenge, aye?”
“One I’m going to meet, tit-for-tat, so keep that in mind, my dear.”
“You say that as if it’s a bad thing.”
He groaned, and Iris grinned. Her dragon said,I told you, he’s easy to discombobulate with the right approach.
Well, heismale, after all.
Antony said, “Iris—” but then the mobile phone Antony had given her—a secure one her clan could contact her with—vibrated.
Mentally cursing the interruption, she hit Answer, and Finn Stewart’s voice came over the line. “Iris, Zoe is missing.”
Her stomach dropped. “What?”
“She went to meet with the DDA liaison in Inverness yesterday evening but didn’t return. Cooper thought she might’ve stayed the night somewhere since it’s a long drive. However, no one has seen or heard from her since her check-in right before her meeting.”
And since Zoe checked in with her brother every day when away from the clan, to placate his worries, the silence was unusual. Alarm bells rang inside her head. “Tell me everything you know.”
