Jane motioned toward Kai. “Give him the blanket.”
Bram did laugh as he handed Kai an old, woolen blanket. Wrapping it around his waist, the material made him want to itch. “You could’ve brought something nicer.”
Bram grinned. “And miss you scratching yourself? I think not.”
Jane ignored them and shouted, “Dr. Sid, would you come over?”
As the doctor made her way over, Kai tried holding the material away from his body, but it didn’t help. He gave a glance to Jane indicating that he wanted to speak with her later. His female merely shrugged.
His dragon laughed. If you haven’t learned by now that your glares don’t work on her, then you’re a lost cause.
I have to do something.
Withhold sex. When she starts begging for our cock, then you can negotiate a few things.
As if you could last, dragon.
Sid’s voice cut through his conversation with his beast. “I made my observations, but first I want to hear a report on your flight.”
Kai shrugged a shoulder. “Everything felt as it should. Nothing was tight or painful. In all honesty, I’ve never felt better.”
Sid studied him a second before she replied, “Judging from your flight and maneuvers, I think you’re healed. If you’re lying to me, Kai Sutherland, it’ll be your own damn fault that you’re injured again, or worse.”
“I’m telling the truth, Sid,” Kai stated as he wrapped an arm around Jane.
Sid glanced to Jane and back to him. “Since getting yourself killed means being separated from your female forever, I think you’re telling the truth.” Sid looked to Bram. “He’s your problem now.”
“Aye, I know. Thanks, Sid,” Bram answered.
With a nod, Sid walked off in the direction of her surgery.
To some the action might seem cold, but Kai knew it was never easy for her to watch a dragon-shifter fly around in dragon form. The sight only reminded Sid of what she could never have again.
Bram spoke up. “I’ll contact the DDA to let them know the plan is still set for tomorrow. You and Aaron need to ensure our Protectors are ready to go.”
“And Lochguard?” Kai asked.
“Aye, they’re ready too. Although Finn’s being a bit paranoid about his pregnant mate and doesn’t want to allow his land to be vulnerable. Still, ten extra dragons will make a difference.”
Jane chimed in. “Who knows, maybe next time, we can have my brother and a few other humans help us.”
Hearing Jane say “us” warmed Kai’s heart. “We’ll see.”
Bram slapped his bicep. “We’ll have one final meeting this evening. But for now, I’ll let you get things in motion and spend a little time with your female. It’ll help calm your dragon for tomorrow.”
Kai hugged Jane tighter and she leaned more into his side. “Thanks, Bram.”
As Stonefire’s leader left, Nikki came up to them. “I can double-check the supplies and go over the plan again with the Protectors if you want to take Jane for a quick flight.”
Jane answered, “No, we’ll do that later. When he takes me up, I don’t want to rush it.”
Kai turned to Jane and brushed her cheek with his forefinger. “It’s moments like these when I forget how you drive me mad most of the time.”
Jane grinned. “Despite your views to the contrary, I know when to hold back.”
Nikki cleared her throat. “While you two get your kissing out of the way, I’ll head back with Aaron to central command. Come when you’re ready.”
As Nikki walked off, Kai stated, “She’s grown up.”
