“You’re right. My life would be a hell of a lot easier if you got taken out by a Mack truck.”

Wow!!! Easton an asshole for saying that. He’s my least favorite MMC right now

“Cáel doesn’t usually touch…anyone,” Knox explained. “He can’t handle the contact.”

It wouldn’t matter if Hayden never shifted. She’d still be the most important being on the planet to me. But I didn’t think that would be a problem. “I sensed power in her. Immense strength.” Knox’s head jerked in my direction. “You did?” I nodded. “She’s an incredibly powerful dragon. She just doesn’t know it.”

“Does he know that I’m going to take you to bed sometime soon and fuck you so hard you’ll feel me for days? Yes, Little Flame, he does. And he likes it.”

Knox froze mid-sentence, his nostrils flaring. “Hayden?” My breaths came quicker. Cáel muttered a curse. “Are you hurting, Little One?” I nodded, words escaping me. His fingers trailed lower, to the hem of my pajama pants that had magically appeared for me last night. “Aching?” The air caught in my throat. “Yes.” “Want me to ease it?” Cáel whispered hoarsely. “Please,” I begged.

My eyes found Cillian. “Sounds like a gang to me.” He scowled. “We’re not gangs.”

Maddox stilled, his gaze coming to me, fury pulsing there. “I had someone once.”

Ugh!!! I hate when an MMC has already loved or deeply cared for someone before the FMC
