“Is everything okay?” The succubus studied his face carefully as if she could spot the cause of his distress on his face.
He nodded tightly. “I’m fine. Just some family squabbling.”
“I definitely know how that feels,” she laughed softly. “Take it easy on your father. It’s not easy when you start to feel like you don’t matter in your own company and family.”
“If he modernized his views and how he runs things …” He stopped himself short. “Sorry. This is not your problem.”
Portia grinned. “Let him stew on his thoughts before yoga tomorrow. I suggest a nice flight for you. You can fly as high as you want here. The borders of the resort will protect you from view. The mountains by the green cabanas have a particularly beautiful view. That’s why we set up our zip line there.”
“That’s a good idea. Thanks, Portia. I appreciate the suggestion.”
“Any time. That’s what I’m here for.” She waved before leaving.
Grey thought letting his dragon out for some air was just what he needed. He wanted to be relaxed and no longer angry when he spent time with Kaia.
Kaia.
Even the witch’s name made him feel better.
THIRTEEN
KAIA
“Don’t fall into his trap,” Rachel snapped as she walked them away and into the cabana.
Kaia couldn’t help herself. She turned to glance back at Grey. He watched her go, his hands in his pockets and a sad look on his face. Maybe he wanted to go for round two. Maybe he didn’t want to let go of a woman who didn’t mind fucking in public.
If Greyson Verlice thought he could have her anytime he damn well pleased now that he had her in public, he was wrong. That was foolish. Wonderful. But still very dumb.
Anyone could have walked by or seen them. What if it had been that mean demon? Grey had already fought him once, and she couldn’t imagine the dragon taking too kindly to being interrupted when he was deep inside her.
“I won’t,” Kaia said, knowing it was already way too late. Grey looked back for one reason alone. He didn’t want to leave her side. “There is no trap to fall into, Rach,” she added. “Greyson is a good man. I like hanging out with him.”
“It can’t go anywhere,” she pointed out.
“We don’t know that.” Kaia felt a protective surge for Greyson. He was a good person. She couldfeelit. Thiswasgoing somewhere. She didn’t know where, but she was going to find out. She didn’t make a habit of getting down and dirty with a man in public, but Grey was like no other man she had ever met.
“Please, Kaia.Pleasedon’t become one of those women who have a holiday fling that she thinks she can change into a lifelong commitment,” Rachel said as she opened the cabana door. Ian and the others were in the living room, sipping coffee and munching at the mounds of food they ordered from room service.
“What’s this about a holiday fling?” Ian squealed.
“It’s nothing,” Kaia rushed, but Rachel shook her head and interrupted, “Just spotted this one with her tongue down that dragon’s throat.”
Ian’s eyes went wide. “Whoa! Awesome.”
“Not awesome,” Rachel insisted. “Dumb. He will be around for a second to get what he’s really after.”
“Don’t be hurtful,” Ian warned Rachel. “Kaia is your sister. You should want her to be happy even when you’re hurting.”
Anger flashed in Rachel’s eyes. She never liked being told what to do. “Did I ask you to tell me how to live my life? I don’t think so.” She stalked off, going to the back deck.
“Wow,” Ian whistled. “Wasn’t this trip supposed to make her nice again?”
“She’s sad,” Kaia defended.
“Doesn’t mean she has to shit on all of us. We’re not the ones who cheated and left. We’re still around even when she’s a major bummer.”
“We’re her family. We have to stand by her even if she isn’t quite herself. We need to be supportive.” Kaia smiled at her coven and hoped it would be enough to make up for Rachel’s terrible attitude.
