It was weird hearing him use my name.
Maybe I didn’t mind the nickname as much as I’d thought.
I lifted my hand above August’s shoulder.
“Two fingers, for three seconds. Touch her any longer and I snap your wrist.” August’s voice was low, and more gravelly than I’d ever heard it.
Goosebumps spread over my arms.
It was kind of sexy when he protected me like that.
Not that I could admit it, of course. If he asked, it was unsexy.
Un.
Sexy.
Two fingers pressed to the inside of my wrist.
I counted silently.
One.
Two.
Three.
His fingers were gone before I finished.
“She’s hotter than any of us,” Gordon said.
It sounded like he was hitting on me, so it didn’t surprise me at all when August growled at him.
His shadow moved again as he backed away, and I saw his hands raise.
“We can all accept that we’re not imprisoning a pair of potential mates going through heat, as much as August might deserve it, right?” one of his brothers said.
Probably Jasper, since Eli had sounded more playful the last time he spoke.
A few of them agreed grudgingly.
“Gordon will stay here to keep an eye on August. Eli will too, to make sure he doesn’t lose his mind to heat as they try to resist it,” Jasper said. “Understood?”
When they all voiced their agreement, two of the guys shifted and took to the sky. The green and red dragons.
I couldn’t stop my eyes from following them. I’d never seen a dragon up close. They were both gorgeous and terrifying at the same time.
“Good luck fighting the bond,” Jasper said, before he shifted too. He was one of the silver ones, so I assumed Eli was the other.
“Did you buy a cabin for me?” Eli checked.
“Of course I did,” August grumbled. “It’s a few miles north. Red roof.”
Apparently money wasn’t an issue for them.
“Thanks. We’ll get settled, and come by in the morning to officially meet your female. You’ve got at least a few days before you lose your mind completely.”
With that, he and Gordon flew off too.
