Page 72 of Her Dragon Daddy Disaster
I took a step toward her. “Now.”
“Fine,” she said haughtily, sniffing at the air and prancing on her long legs toward the door. “But you justknowhe’s going to want an introduction. And I’ll get mine then as well.”
Then she was gone, leaving my stomach to roil with unease at the promise contained in her words.
“A real charmer,” Sarah said coldly. “Why didn’t you ask her to stay?”
“Huh?” I asked, my thoughts about what might come next totally derailed by Sarah’s attitude.
“You two certainly looked cozy enough for it,” she said, spinning on her heel and taking Jakub back to bed, the empty water cup completely forgotten.
I stared after her, completely lost.
What had I done wrong?
Chapter Thirty-Two
Sarah
After kissing Jakub on the head and finally getting him to sleep, I glanced at the door. It was open, and there was no sign of Levi, but I wasn’t fooled. He was out there. Waiting. Probably forming some kind of explanation about why his former flame was in our house in nothing but a thong and corset humping him against the wall!
As if there could be an explanation for that.
How long, I seethed, how long had he been doing that behind my back? Having those little meetups once I was asleep. Had she just come early that day, was that it? Tried to surprise him?
Jakub rolled over in the bed. I watched him sleep. My son. The most precious thing in my entire world. How was it his father could have produced something so perfect?
I sighed, reaching down to brush some of Jakub’s hair out of his face. It was getting long and unruly. I’d been planning to cut it, but that was before all the current unpleasantness. Currentfashion among dragons was to grow it long, however, and I knew he would want to do the same. To look like the others. To look like his father.
Sighing, I got up from the bed. There was no point in delaying in the inevitable. This confrontation would happen, and the sooner it did, the sooner I could try to sleep.
As I suspected, Levi was waiting for me in the hallway outside the room.
“Where?” I asked tiredly before he could say a thing.
“My office?”
“Sure.”
A dullness replaced my anger as I followed him and closed the door behind me. I was done with it all. The changes, the drama. Everything about his world got worse the longer I was in it.
“I want to go home,” I said.
Levi sighed. “Sarah.”
“I’m done. I’m just done with all yourbullshit.” The last word cracked out like a gunshot.
“He’s my son. Whether you like it or not, he’s a dragon, Sarah. Jakub needs to be raised around his own kind. With someone who can guide him and teach him how to be a dragon.”
“Including traipsing around with all the neighborhood whores?” I snapped.
“Isthatwhat you thought was happening?” he asked, eyebrows riding high. “You can’t be serious. Are you that blind you couldn’t read the room?”
“I saw her kiss you, Levi. That wasn’t the sort of kiss one gives a friend. It lingered. And you didn’t push her away.”
“I …” he faltered, frowning. “I didn’t know she was going to kiss me.On the cheek.”
“But you didn’t push her away.” I crossed my arms. “Because you still want her.”
