Faye didn’t want to point out that Grant had many more pounds of muscles on him than Chase. “Thank you. I’ll be back soon.”
With one last look at Grant, Faye dashed out the door. Whatever Cooper needed to say, she hoped it would bring them closer to eradicating the threat, at least for a little while. She didn’t like leaving Grant’s side for long while he was still recovering.
Her dragon said, Just stop it. He has a clan to look after him. We don’t have to do everything.
Of course there are others who could do it, but it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t care about him.
Humans and their caring. It wastes a lot of time.
Rather than point out most dragons cared about their true mates from the get-go and hers was just being cranky, Faye picked up her pace to find out what Cooper had to say.
Chapter Twenty-One
A week later, Grant watched Faye’s face as she slept next to him in the tiny hospital bed.
While he enjoyed her liveliness, he also treasured her still moments. Asleep, Faye’s face relaxed and it was hard to believe she was in charge of protecting the clan and not just a young dragonwoman looking for a good time.
Of course, if he could just get out of the bloody surgery, he could take on some of her workload.
His beast spoke up. We should be cleared to leave today.
What, you don’t like Faye being in charge?
I don’t mind her being in charge, but what with all of the planning recently, I don’t like how tired she always looks.
Faye was capable, but he agreed with his beast. The plan for dragon-shifters from other clans to infiltrate the traitors is of utmost importance. Only once it’s officially in motion can we slow down and let the others do their work.
I still say we should find the rogue dragons and fight. They are mostly old and untrained. They will lose.
We don’t know how many there are. The Americans could’ve spread the word. Who knows if dragon-shifters have traveled from other countries to join them. There could be more dragons than we can handle. Even a strong warrior must recognize their limits.
His dragon sniffed. I suppose.
Faye’s sleepy voice filled the room. “You can stop staring at me.”
“Your eyes are closed. You have no way of knowing what I’m doing.”
She opened one eyelid. “There. I can see you staring at me. What do you want?”
“What I want is to get out of this bed, get you a coffee, and help take over some of your duties.”
Faye snuggled into Grant’s side. “But it’s warm right here.”
“A cup of coffee would get you out of bed before I could blink.”
She made a noise in her throat. “Not everyone is a morning person like you.”
“I have ways of changing your mind.”
“Grant,” Faye warned
“What?”
“According to the giant glowing clock on the wall, Dr. MacFie should be by any minute to examine you. No funny business.”
He kissed her forehead. “I can restrain myself you know.”
“Not if we base it on the last few mornings.?
