A Dragon's Heart Read Online Free PDF Page B

blouse hugged her ample breasts, dipping low enough he got a teasing view of the ample cleavage that peeked out the top. Delicious. When his eyes finally made their way back to meet hers, her expression only worsened.
    “Seriously? The shower would have been great given there wasn’t a gigantic guard standing at the door. And I despise pink. Purple, blue, heck even green…but pink? Now, we can do this one of two ways. Either you can explain yourself and we hash this out like two civilized adults, or I can make sure you spend the last of your miserable life behind bars. Your choice.”
    Jex couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride for the little hothead in front of him. For such a small thing she had spunk, especially since there was no way she could do anything to hurt him. It would be more like a puppy chewing on your sock than a threat. “Good. Now, you need to eat.” She looked around, noticing the small table that held a heaping plate of roasted pork, baked potato, and asparagus. Maybe this is a hotel? There’s no way they would feed her like this if they were kidnappers, right? Unless the women cook too? If there’s more, that might work to my advantage. Power in numbers…
    She forced a half smile and proceeded over to the table. When he sat with her, it threw off her act. “What pray tell do you think you are doing?” His cocky grin flashed, and despite the fact she had found him attractive in the store, he was overly alluring now. Her body reacted, pulling to him like a magnet. Her fingers clasped around her fork tighter than necessary as she fought feeling any attraction to him but knew it was no use. He was drop dead gorgeous. Hell, besides the other two that had entered her shoppe, he was the sexiest man she had ever laid eyes on. There was something different about them…something…almost otherworldly. A word floated through her head again—dragon. Could they really exist? She shook her head absentmindedly and took a bite of food to ease the hunger that rumbled in her stomach. Except, the hunger that she felt couldn’t be sated with food.
    “I’m dining with you. So, how is the pork? I roasted it myself.”
    “One must be eating to dine. You are staring.” She tasted the pork out of curiosity, unable to hold the hum of approval that erupted. His grin lightened her heart. “It’s delicious.”
    “Good. Xavier prepared the asparagus and potato, but I am the head meat chef amongst us.” Jex had loved to cook since he were a hatchling. Growing up in a house full of women had taught him multiple domestic tasks, along with giving him an insight of how to handle the opposite sex. Of all the dragons that had once been, he had a special gift of flattering the females.
    With every bite, Aislinn felt herself relaxing some and fell into conversation with the strange sexy man. The words ‘stranger danger’ kept gnawing at her conscience, but there was an air to him that didn’t scream threat. She used it to her advantage, and pried for information hoping to out—psych him.
    Jex knew the girl was prodding for information and inwardly found it amusing. He threw her little tidbits here and there, working her mind easily. If she felt victorious, there was a good chance she might quit seeing them as captors and be more open to answering whatever questions Drakk might throw at her. Drakk was the straight-to-the-point type of dragon, skipping all formalities and manners. He hadn’t mingled with humans and their ways as Jex had. Although it was no secret dragons weren’t the most friendly of creatures, Jex found humans entertaining. If he could get her to warm up to him some before Drakk’s interrogation, he was more than happy to set her mind at ease.
    He mentioned subtle hints of their species, leaving her to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The moment recognition struck her he had to choke down a laugh. Her face and tone mimicked a scene out of some glittery vampire movie he had sat through
