Finding His Dragon (Dragon Blood Book 3) Read Online Free PDF Page A

sliding his hand up higher until she could feel the warmth of it at the juncture between her legs.
    Unable to control the dragon, she snapped her teeth only inches from his face, growling. She brought a leg up and kicked for all she was worth. In her seated position, she couldn’t reach anything but his leg, but she hit him with all she had. He grunted before lifting his hand and smacking her across her already painful jaw. She twisted herself so that she faced him more squarely. The force of her kick sent her into Pete, making the truck swerve and the tires squeal.
    “Hold her down, or knock her out, for fuck’s sakes,” Pete yelled.
    “She’s a fucking menace. We should be getting paid double for this,” he said as he wrapped his hands around her neck.

    After he’d let his fury out, Jace stopped roaring and looked around him. There was no sign of struggle, nothing out of the ordinary. He took a breath through his nose, the scent, or rather scents, were faint, but they were there. Two males, both dragons, had been there.
    His heart thundered in his chest as he reached into his pocket for his phone. He’d started dialing when a shuffling sound to his right caught his attention.
    “I saw them,” said a boy, no older than ten. “I saw them take your truck, mister. And he punched her, too. I saw him hit the girl right in the face. My mom used to tell me that boys shouldn’t hit girls, but he did.”
    His whole body tightened, and everything around him turned red as the dragon surged forward. The little boy’s eyes widened, and he took a step back. “Did you see which way they went?” Jace barely got the word out through his clenched jaw.
    The boy shook where he stood, but he nodded his head.
    “It’s okay. I won’t hurt you. But you have to tell me so I can help her.” Jace crouched down, making himself a little smaller. The boy was filthy, and had no shoes, but he held his head up high as he lifted his arm and pointed to the left.
    “They drove that way. You better hurry. She wasn’t awake anymore when they drove off.”
    “Thank you, kid.”
    Jace dialed fast, knowing he had little time to talk. The dragon wouldn’t be held back for long. It was scratching and roaring for freedom, and this time, Jace was more than ready to relinquish control.
    “Luke, I need your help. Get Austin and whoever else is at the estate and come down. Fast. Two dragons kidnapped my mate. They took the truck. I’m going after her.” Already he was pulling his shirt off, taking the phone away from his ear only long enough to slip it over his head.
    “Where are you going? We’ll catch up.”
    “They’re headed toward the highway.” His voice was becoming rougher and more garbled as his teeth started elongating.
    “On our way.”
    If Luke said anything else, Jace didn’t hear it. He walked over to the kid and handed him the phone. “Can you hold on to this for me? And my stuff?” He waited until the boy nodded and held out his hand before handing him the phone and his wallet. “Keep it all safe for me.”
    “I can do it,” his little chest puffed out with pride.
    With a nod, Jace turned away and got rid of the rest of his clothes before allowing the shift. He didn’t care that he was in the middle of a parking lot, or that he might freak the whole neighborhood out by shifting right there in the open. All that mattered was getting to Charlotte before the bastards who took her got away, or worse, hurt her more than they already had.
    They had a good few minutes on him, ten at the most, and although the Inn was close to the interstate, it would still have taken them a couple of minutes to get there. Even going full speed, they couldn’t have made it far. He had to stop them before they could ditch the truck and take to the air. If they kept Charlotte knocked out they could carry her off, and finding her would be a hell of a lot harder.
    With his black scales, he didn’t have to worry about causing a
