“I’ll be fine for a short while—”
He shook his head. “No. I’m staying.”
At Cassidy’s smile, Gregor couldn’t help but notice how beautiful his doctor looked when she was happy.
Releasing her cheek, he pulled out his mobile phone and dialed Bram. The sooner he told Stonefire’s leader he was staying, the sooner he could take care of his female.
His dragon hummed. Ours?
Yes, ours.
Good.
Ignoring his dragon’s smug tone, Gregor waited for Bram to answer the phone so he could start planning the next phase of his life. Because if he was ever going to try and be happy again, he needed a certain strong dragonwoman at his side.
Chapter Six
For the first time in a long time, Sid wished she had her dragon and a guarantee for a mostly certain future.
She’d been a doctor for so many years, taking care of others, that she had forgotten what it was like to be taken care of. Gregor’s sheer determination to challenge her clan leader if need be made her think she needed someone to kick her arse and point out when she needed a break. Bram had Evie, but as much as Bram tried to make Sid stop and take care of herself, she’d never really listened.
Yet with Gregor, taking a break was something she could get used to. And not just because it would mean forcing Gregor to take a break as well, which he needed as much as she. But rather, he could work with her both professionally and personally. That idea appealed to her in a way she almost couldn’t resist.
If only she had her bloody dragon in her mind and sane, then Sid would kiss him and not care abou
t the mate-claim frenzy.
Gregor hung up his phone and grinned. “Bram’s coming, so you can have your front row seat.”
She rolled her eyes. “You could’ve asked him over the phone.”
“And give up a chance to see his facial expressions? I think not. Besides, you’ll be a witness and my standing up to Bram will win points with Finn.”
Finn Stewart was Lochguard’s clan leader, who irritated Bram like a younger brother.
“Shouldn’t you ask Finn first about staying?” she asked.
“Finn told me to stay as long as I like. Layla can handle things. Besides, Clan Seahaven has a doctor who helps Lochguard every once in a while, too. They won’t miss me.”
“I somehow doubt it. I bet your patients miss you already.”
He smiled. “I do miss them, but you need my help more. I’m sure they would understand.”
She tilted her head. “Why are you so determined to help me? I sense it’s more than you just being a doctor.”
He leaned down until he was a few inches from her face. “Because I’m starting to picture a future I want and I can’t have it if you’re not there.”
Her breath hitched at the huskiness in his voice. When his pupils flashed, Gregor pulled back and added, “But for now, I must resist your sweet lips or my dragon may take control.”
At the mention of his lips, her gaze shifted to them. She wanted to taste them again, which was ridiculous since Sid was thirty-eight years old and should be able to control herself. She needed to stop acting like a randy teenager.
A low warning hum sounded in her brain, but the sedative kept it from being full-blown. If the presence were indeed her dragon, Sid needed to avoid tempting her until she had a solution to ending her episodes.
Hope was a dangerous thing for someone like her, but Gregor’s confidence and determination made her want to believe she could be cured.
Bram’s voice muffled voice boomed down the hallway. “Where the hell is that bloody Scot?”
Ginny’s steely voice answered, “Keep your voice down, or I’ll toss you out.” A pause and Ginny added, “They’re in Room 4.”
