One of Rehan’s snores choked off. He sat up with his fists raised before realizing where he was and relaxing.
I looked at the ground to avoid their reactions. “Look. I’m not a good person. I’ve told you that. I crave power. I’ve lived through lifetimes of different moral codes. Right and wrong is often situational.” I looked up. “I’m not ashamed of it.”
But you don’t want these dragons to see you as a bad person, do you, Jay?
Og can.
Petulant shit, really?
No. Not really. I don’t want them to think I’m a bad person.
I sliced my hand through the air. “I am who I am. What matters now: I didn’t makethesedemons. It takes an incredible amount of power and… well hate to create the numbers we saw.”
Hate to create. I’m so witty.
Rehan ran his fingers through his loose hair with one hand, and a phone glowed in the other. “I missed the beginning of this, but it sounds like good information for the EM. Tukaqu expects us in an hour. We’re meeting just down the hall.” He typed into his phone.
I bit my lower lip and twirled a bit of my messy bedhead. That was a sexy look, right? “I mean, there are a lot of things we could do for an hour.”
“No.” Og stood. “Not happening, Jay. You reiterated that you crave power.”
I pursed my lips unhappily.
That’s not a bad thing, Og.
Is it?
Og not so subtly tilted his head toward Lux. “And that’s still a problem. And we still don’t have more information. I’m not letting you ditch us or yourself.” Ogden stormed out the door. Light from the hall and fresh air spilled into our makeshift cave.
I took a deep breath and clenched my fist.
“I’d still have the orgy.” Tyson slid up to my side. “I still think you’ll choose me.”
I snorted and, with no other choice, let it go.
Over the next hour,we learned that earth, fire, and water had banded together against air. A stream of water dragons brought us food. Shortly after, another group dropped off the packs my dragons brought with them to the EM and a trash bag full of clothing for Lux and me to pick through. This time, the undergarments mostly fit. It was one of those little things I promised never to take for granted again.
Despite the acid burns dotting his skin, Rehan dropped to our only strip of floor space for a quick workout, which Og watched with bright eyes. Not that I could judge. Rehan’s back was incredible. Every bulky, well-defined muscle moved as gracefully as his dragon wings as he went up and down.
“Stop showing off,” Tyson grumbled, coming back from the shower.
Lux stood and tripped, trying to get around Rehan. The air dragon bumped Tyson, who immediately turned and cursed at him. In a heartbeat, Rehan was up and in Tyson’s face, defending Lux.
“I don’t need you to fight my battles for me.” Lux snarled.
Rehan turned, now facing two angry dragon princes. Before it escalated, I slid into the middle of all of them and put my hands on my hips, not saying a thing.
Lux moved first, backing up a step, his gaze sliding from water to fire. His lip quirked into a mischievous smile, and the anger left his posture.
“They say opposites attract,” Lux said, blowing Tyson a kiss.
I sighed and stepped to the side.
Tyson turned red in the face and lunged toward Lux, who was already ducking.
“You little shite,” Tyson said, his fist whistling through the air where Lux had just been.
“You did say you wanted to see Og’s…” Lux didn’t get to finish his sentence.
