Curling his lip, he was right as the harsh voice broke the serenity. Apparently his brother hadn’t found his mate yet, or maybe he wouldn’t be so damn uptight.
Deo, move the ship and ping me with coordinates. I found her and will bring her back soon.
He could practically hear Deo’s grunt.
No. We need to meet as a group. Nyke’s found trouble.
Kal sat up, the blanket falling to the bed. Of course he had. He’d missed out on a sense of humor the day the goddess handed that bit of personality out.
Alright. I’ll be there soon.
Kal tried to shut off the communications going back and forth between the others.
They’d at least tried to leave him alone.
“Maddie?”
He leaned over and kissed the skin of her shoulder.
She moaned and rolled over, her breasts exposed and begging to be tasted.
Well, fuck.
No. He had to have some kind of self restraint. But, fuck me. Why?
He circled a nipple, the nub peaking at his touch. Kal studied her face as her eyes fluttered open.
“Is it morning? Or afternoon?”
His hand overflowed with her as he cupped her breast. Goddess, he loved this woman.
“Afternoon, I believe. Your days are so short that I find myself very confused often.”
She stretched, the sheet further flowing down her body.
Son of a bitch.
He wanted her and instead of taking her,he had to go to some fucking meeting of the minds. Fuck those fuckers. Only, the warrior within knew you didn’t ignore your brothers. If one was in need, if one was worried, if one was happy, you joined in.
“I need to go,” he said.
Maddie’s eyes flew open, and she sat up.
“What?”
He chuckled. “Not forever. I need to go meet my brothers.”
A foreign tension struck him. It settled, and he realized it was hers. Good. They were connected. Taking her hand within his own, he felt her unravel a bit.
“Oh, okay. You’ll be back?”
He nodded.
“Brothers? How many of you are there?”
The damn temptress made thinking very difficult as his eyes were drawn back to her naked breasts.
“Here? Or overall?”
His mouth watered.
He watched as her lips puckered in thought. He’d kiss those sexy lips before he left. Kal was making his next mission to ensure she did nothing else but think of him until he returned.
“Here, I guess? Was that other guy one of them? The one I scared off when you, or well I, turned you into a chicken?”
He rolled his eyes. That was a shitty memory.
“Yes. That was one of them.”
Pulling her knees up, she got comfortable.
“Are you all so, so, uh, huge?”
His eyes narrowed.
“I don’t think I like what you’re insinuating. I am enough for you, mate. You do not need anyone else.”
Maddie let out a loud musical laugh. He liked the sound, but it confused him.
“You are a fool for being such a cocky ass.”
He righted himself on the bed. “I’m sorry?”
Rising on her knees, she came to him.
“I just wanted to know if you were all dragons and if you were all muscle-heads. You stick out like a weed around here. We may need to help them blend in a bit more. Help them figure out how to talk with women. No one else needs to be a chicken, do they?”
Kal shuddered.
Maddie wrapped her arms around his neck as she raised her face to meet his.
“Oh. Perhaps you might help. But, not right now. Right now, I want you to sleep. Be ready for me when I come back. Your only job today is to lay here and ready yourself for when I return. You will not be getting much sleep tonight or for the foreseeable future.”
He liked the stutter of her breath as he wrapped his arms around her.
“I see. And how, the hell, should I ready myself?”
Maddie pulled away, enough to slip a hand between them. His eyes followed her as she ran the palm down her breasts, her stomach, down, down, slipping her own fingers between the vee of her thighs.
Well, fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
“Maddie. You’re killing me.”
Licking her lips, she smiled. “Am I? Because to me, you look to be quite alive.” Her eyes flicked down to his erect dick.
“Woman. You need to tame yourself or I won’t be able to leave and that would be very, very unforgivable.”
“Fine,” she said, as her hands flew up in the air. “At least I tried.”
He got out of bed slowly. Good goddess, he needed his dick to settle down.
Grabbing up his pants, he slid them on and stood there.
Well, shit.
Maddie’s laughter had him scowling.
“Do you have a problem there big boy?”
He stood, hands on hips.
“This is your doing, mate.”
The vision of her crawling towards him nearly had him bursting.
“Maddie. What are you playing at?”
Kal didn’t like the look on her face. Trouble.
“I’m just coming to help you. It looks like that guy,” she pointed to his erection, “isn’t going to fit into those tight pants.”
He cocked his head. “And, what exactly are you going to do to help that?”
He didn’t wait long before the warmth of her mouth slid down the shaft and his eyes nearly rolled back into his skull.
What the fuck was he supposed to do? You don’t say no to your mate.
His brothers could wait a bit longer. Long enough for him to fit back into his pants, anyway. He’d be quick. Her tongue did something that he’d fucking dream about for the rest of his life. Yeah. He’d be fast. Those assholes better have news worthy of him having to leave her.

Maddie downed a drink while Kal scowled.
Her dragon wasn’t enjoying himself, well, tough. Kal had given in to going out. Of course he had. Kal returned in a pissed off mood, ranting that they needed to leave immediately.
She’d waited for the panic to hit. The idea that she’d be leaving not only this crappy town, but earth. Right. Insane. It was insane, but the dreams of Kal’s home told her she wasn’t crazy.
She was more than happy to leave this town, but this time she wanted to
