"Multi-talented." Damn, now I wondered what other talents he had. I would bet he had a few. Some that didn't involve his tongue or his cock. I wanted to know about those too, though.
I forced the thought aside and reminded myself to keep an emotional distance. I owed it to him and to myself.
"That's me." Knox gave me the most adorable smile.
My heart skipped.
No, I told myself. Falling for him, for any of the guys, would be a very bad idea. The worst. I would end up hurt and so would they.
Friends. Friends, Friends.I repeated the word over and over in my head. Just friends. For all of our sakes.
"You as well," Knox said, bringing me crashing back to reality. "I've never met anyone like you."
Beside him, Gorilla Guy gave a grunt.
I thought he was laughing, until I realised he was snoring.
I arched my eyebrows and bit back a laugh. Saved by the bell. Or the freight train, because that was how it sounded.
"I feel like we should tuck him in," I said.
He sat with his head at an awkward angle. He'd have a nasty crick when he woke up. That would serve him right for falling asleep in the car. He should be watching for trouble.
Although, there were four more of us to do that.
I peered out the dark, tinted window and watched the countryside roll by. I kept expecting to see small towns, or fast food restaurants pop up once in a while, but all there was were dirt roads, which led away from the main road. I presumed they led toward farms.
It was beautiful, but after a while it became boring. Just a blur of green on green on green, with the occasional dot of brown.
"We have company," Bain said.
Gorilla Guy jerked awake.
I sat up higher in my seat and peered through the rear window.
"I can't see anything," I said.
"Look up," Bain said.
I looked up.
"Shit."
A dragon soared above the roof of the car, keeping pace. The tinted windows made green scales look darker, but couldn't block the menacing look of that triangular head, mouth open to show rows of sharp teeth.
"Any chance they're here to escort us?" I asked.
"You tell me," Bain said over his shoulder.
I gaped at him, then back at the dragon. I could tell the bear shifter was a bear, so maybe I could tell if a dragon was a shifter. It would be a stretch from this distance, but I could try.
I drew in power from the scent of Knox and sent it up toward the dragon. I waited and searched around, but the dragon flinched and looked more and more agitated.
"I think it's just a dragon," I said finally.
"That's what I got too," Bain agreed.
I frowned. I forgot he could sense minds and thoughts. More easily than anything I could do, from what I gathered.
