“You’re a better sibling than I am. I would never have let my sister walk away after saying something like that. I don’t care that she is going through a divorce. That was a terrible thing to say.”

“It’s fine if Grey and I are nothing beyond a holiday fling, but I get this funny feeling that there is more to him than meets the eye.”

“Well, girl, you know what to do? What are you doing, hanging out here with us? Go be with him.”

“I can’t. Not right now. He’s meeting with his father. We have plans later, but I think I’ll go clear my head.”

“We’re about to go to the beach and snag the best spot. Join us?”

“No, you go ahead. I need to be alone for a bit.”

Ian gave her a sad smile. He must have guessed how she was feeling because he was right about Rachel. Kaia tried to be as understanding as possible, but she didn’t want to be hurt in the process. She went to her room and changed into a pair of workout leggings and a loose white tee that made her neon orange one-piece stand out underneath it.

She made her way to the mountains by the green cabanas, right where the zip line course was set up. If Una was right, the last line went from one mountain to the other, and the view was stunning.

It didn’t take long for her to get set up with a harness and helmet, and off she went. She swung from one platform to the next, following the course along the mountain. It was only when she was on the final and longest line that things went horribly wrong.

A loudsnapechoed through the air just before Kaia started to fall.

Oh, my god!

Kaia tried to move her body as she fell, hoping to roll herself into a little ball before hitting the water. Hopefully, that would save her from too many broken bones when she hit that water’s surface. Her eyes were screwed shut as she tried to pray for survival. The wind was loud in her ears, and she was sure she was going to die after having a fight with Rachel.

A large rumble made her eyes snap open.

There was a very large dragon coming right at her.

Kaia knew that dragon. It washerdragon. The one who made her heart thump when near. It was Greyson Verlice in his dragon form diving right for her. He gripped her tightly with one taloned hand before slowing their mad descent with a flap of his wings. He grumbled at her again.

“I’m fine,” she shouted in the air. “You saved me.”

The grumble was nothing she could understand, but she guessed it was something along the lines of, “Good thing I was out for a random flight.”

He set her down gently on a tiny corner of a beach surrounded by tall shrubs. He took his human form, and that’s when Kaia learned that shifters lose their clothes when they shift.

There Greyson Verlice stood, as naked as the day he was born.

GREYSON

Grey knew he would be completely nude as soon as he shifted into his human shape again, but he didn’t think it mattered. They had already slept together, not that sleeping had actually happened. He walked toward Kaia, and she threw her hands over her eyes. He chuckled softly and pushed her hands back down to her sides. “What are you doing?”

“You’renude.”

“Yeah,” he laughed again. “Nothing you haven’t seen.”

“This is different. You’re … and I … and …”

He threw his head back with a laugh. “Are you speechless, Kaia?”

“Yeah, shut up. It’s not my fault. You’re scrambling my brain with your man parts.”

“My man parts?” he looked down at his body. “And what is wrong with my man parts?”

“Nothing,” she rushed to say. “Only a bit intimidating.”

“Have you looked in a mirror lately?” he leaned over and kissed her gently. “I know that we’re supposed to meet later, but I’m so happy Portia told me to go for a flight.”
