and met her gaze.  Ah, honey. I know this sounds like total bullshit, but I bet things will work out.
Razzy shook her head.  Not without help. She stared at Charlotte, a new light brightening her
purple eyes.  Will you help me? This place is so miserable with everyone angry at each other. Help
me fix it so they re all friends again. Her eyes filled with tears that dropped onto her cheeks, ripping
Charlotte s heart into pieces.  I want my brother to smile again.
Oh boy. So far, she loved everything she d seen in Aurora, but she knew nothing of the local
gossip. Still, she felt so bad seeing Razzy crying over her brother, how could she say no? Maybe the
issue wasn t as big as they made it out to be.
She d attempt talking to Brecc and see if maybe he d be more forthcoming with information.
She needed to figure him out anyway. It was driving her crazy. The attraction she felt for him was just
as powerful as the one she felt for Eros, but his aloof attitude pushed her away.
If the damn wolf didn t turn her on so much, she d just ignore his existence, but it was hard.
The fact these guys were supposed to be gay was another thing she needed to figure out. Eros had not
kissed her like he didn t like girls. Her conclusion was they were bisexual. They had to be because
no way in hell she could be confused for a guy. Not with her curves, her ass, and her tits.
 Don t worry, Razzy, she said with hopeful smile.  I will see what I can find out for you.
Maybe things can be easily fixed.
Razzy threw her arms around Charlotte s neck and sniffled.  Thank you. I knew the moment I
opened my eyes that you d be a wonderful friend. My dragon is never wrong about people.
If only Charlotte had a dragon inside to help her figure out her feelings for the two wolves.
Shit would be a lot less complicated.
SIXTEEN
Charlotte woke with a headache. She d been awake half the night even though her room had
tried hard to help her relax. The events of the previous night were still clear in her mind. Eros took
Razzy home, back to the Dragos land. It took everything in Charlotte not to break down and cry with
the girl. She remembered being that age. Feeling alone and having no one. Even her sister had her
own things going on.
Poor Razzy. Her sole family member was distancing himself from her. Charlotte had to help
her.
She put on her warmest thermal underwear, with a scrunched nose. Good thing she wasn t
getting it on or she d look like an old lady wearing these.
After dressing, she rushed to the living room and saw Eros headed to the kitchen, leaving
Brecc behind in the living room. She licked her lips, wishing he didn t look so damn good from
where she stood and cleared her throat.
 You don t need to make noise. I know you re there.
All righty then. The guy had some serious communication problems.
He turned to face her, his eyes in that cool blue that distanced him from the world.
 I was hoping, she said with a wobble in her voice. Shit. She took a deep breath and let it
out slowly.  I was hoping to go out for a hike.
He lifted his brows, his gaze roaming down her body and then back up, so hungry and filled
with lust, she started to feel hot in her layers.
 We d love to take you for a hike. Do you want some tea? he offered so politely she couldn t
figure out what was up with him.  Eros will return shortly and we can go.
 I had some already. Alessandra left it in my room, I think. Or someone did.
His only response was a slight lift of his lips into a wicked smile. Lord those lips did things
to her brain she couldn t even explain.
She d been hoping to get him alone, but having Eros with them would help ease the
conversation. She found being around Eros soothing, something she couldn t say about any other man.
Once Eros was back, they headed out, taking slow strides. They walked a path in silence at first.
Then, as if Brecc s curiosity had gotten the best of him, he started to ask her questions.
 You like the cold?
She shivered but smiled.  I do. I m thinking I must be a masochist because this is way more
than the cold I m used to.
Eros laughed.  Yes. We have seen many videos about earth and the different weather
patterns.
Brecc frowned, worry pulling his brows into a deep curve.  Do you want to go back?
 No way! She shoved her hands deeper into her coat pockets.  I m fine.
 Eros said you have a sister who might worry if you stay too long. What about your parents?
Both Brecc and Eros offered her a hand to help her over a branch. It surprised her they continued
holding after they got over it.
 I don t really speak to my parents much. She met his gaze and pressed her lips into a line.
 Not for lack of trying, either. They ve just never been interested in being parents.
 She holds it all in, Eros said to Brecc. She did, but how Eros noticed was beyond her.
 That hurts you, Brecc said in a low growl.  I don t like it.
She grinned at how angry he sounded on her behalf.  It s okay. I m used to it. They re
probably not the worst parents out there. Neglectful, yes. Evil, no.
It dawned on her that the hike was turning out to be very nice. Both men held her hand and
kept her engaged in conversation. If she were an adventurous woman, she d wonder what she might
have to do to keep them.
Be adventurous. Take them both and run! Of course her brain would start fucking with her
when she was around the two wolves.
Eros pointed down a path of freshly coated snow.  Let s go to the Crystal Cave.
She had no clue what that was, but it sounded interesting, except she had never been inside a
cave.  Um, I don t know.
Eros frowned.  What s wrong? I promise the Crystal Cave is beautiful.
 Yeah. That sounds great and all, but I ve seen a lot of horror movies. You don t go into a
cave.
Eros threw his head back and laughed, the laughter so rich and filled with joy that she smiled
despite her insecurity over going into the cave.  You are precious, Charlotte. This is not like your
earth caves.
 Oh, in that case, okay. Let s go. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
