Heart of the Dragons: Bad Dragons 2 Read online

Page 15


  I nearly choke on my juice. “What?”

  “If you think about what we did and they hear it, they’re going to want to fight me immediately,” Byron says. “They won’t believe it’s what you could want.” His gaze shutters slightly. “Because everyone knows Van and I are assholes.”

  “Slightly less asshole-y than I thought, though,” I say. “Maybe I can help them see that.”

  Plus, no one has a right to tell me who I can or can’t be with.

  Van just shakes his head as he passes us to go into the kitchen, and Byron bites his full lower lip.

  “It’s going to get ugly, but we’ll try to make it as smooth as we can,” Byron says. “That’s all I can promise. But thoughts about what we did, no matter how delicious it was or how much I intend to go further next time, will escalate things with the other dragons.”

  I nod. “Got it. Control my thoughts.”

  “Great,” Byron says, pouring himself a glass of juice. “Now we just have to—”

  He’s interrupted by a loud thump that shakes the ground, followed by two others. His eyes meet mine, and my heart starts to beat rapidly.

  “Guess we should go out and see if we can make this right.”

  Then I hear a voice that makes my heart leap more than I even expected.

  “Get your ass out here, Byron!” Griffin yells, his voice achingly familiar, making my chest tight with emotion. “Van! Get the fuck outside before I burn down your fucking house!”

  Byron’s lips curve up as he glances at me, then pushes himself up to leave the table. “Time to face the reckoning.”

  I get up as well and catch him by the arm as he starts to walk out. “Don’t hurt them,” I say. “Don’t get hurt either. I don’t want any of you to fight.”

  He leans down to touch my chin, then tilts my face up and gently kisses me. “It’s too late for that now probably. But as I told you, I’ll try to be fair.”

  Then he turns his back on me to walk out, and Van follows him.

  I take a deep breath, forcing myself forward. I’m excited to see Griffin, Seth, and Rainier. And I just have to hope, against all odds, that everything goes well.

  Because I think my heart is split between five bad dragons.
