Reawakening the Dragon: Part One Read Online Free PDF

distance and the time it takes to drive, which means they should be somewhere inside this area.”
    “That’s still a wide area.”
    Looking back up, she raised her eyebrow. “It’s a matter of deduction. As a head Protector, I figured you would know that.”
    “It’s a lot harder to deduce and sort out the best choices when it’s a different species.”
    He had a point, but it gave her an opening. Even if it meant sticking around longer than she’d anticipated, she would jump on it. “Which is why you need me. Promise you’ll allow me to stay on and help until I have my story, and I’ll tell you which areas to start with. Then I’ll dust off my investigative skills and get to work.”

    Kai studied the human female.  
    He was honest enough with himself to admit he’d been focusing too much on her full breasts, the curve of her neck, or the rogue tendril of black hair that curled around her cheek and not on the map in front of him.
    Allowing himself to be so easily distracted was unacceptable.
    His dragon spoke up. The sooner we get her naked, the sooner we can fuck her and you can focus again.
    Not dignifying his beast’s words with a response, Kai studied the map.
    The human had pointed out a fifteen-mile radius from Newcastle’s city center. Since Kai rarely drove a car, he would have to take her guesstimate.  
    During his time in the army, he’d become quite accomplished at eliminating unlikely targets until he had a shortlist. The only difference in this situation was Kai didn’t know the area around Newcastle. He had a few guesses as to where the hunters would hide based upon their history, but it would be much easier to have Jane ask the locals about any unusual activity and further pinpoint the possible targets from there.
    True, he had two prisoners who would be interrogated the instant his best interrogator, a Stonefire Protector named Zain, arrived. But each second he wasted waiting around for information was a second the hunters could move their location. The men from the pub might not have guessed Kai was a dragon-shifter, but kidnapping two of their men could lead to trouble.
    No doubt, the hunters’ leader Simon Bourne knew this.
    He would use any timesaver he could find, even if it came in the form of a delectable human female with dark hair and blue eyes.  
    His dragon hummed. Yes, she is delectable. She will taste good.
    Why are you this insistent? You haven’t act this way around a human before.
    They weren’t this human , his dragon stated.
    Looking up at the female in question, Kai answered, “As long as you don’t become a liability, we’ll work together.”
    Jane stood up and crossed her arms under her breasts. “As equals?”
    “For now.” She opened her mouth, but he cut her off. “Trust takes time. I’m sure you’d agree.”
    She studied him a second before tilting her head. “Considering how much you like to be in charge and give orders, that compromise must’ve killed you.” He frowned, which made Jane smile. “I’ll take it.”
    “Good, now—“
    “But if I find out you’ve been holding out any information from me, then I’ll leave. Understood?”
    His dragon chuckled. She doesn’t have to take orders from you. I like her fire.
    Shut it, dragon.
    Kai put on his toughest looking expression. “As long as you don’t hold out on me. Cross me and see what happens.”
    Jane rolled her eyes. “You sound like a bad movie hero. It’s not as if you’ll kill me. I know most of the major DDA rules by now, mister. Remember that.”
    Instead of answering, Kai let out a high-pitched whistle. Then he asked, “Are you done with your threats?”
    She raised her brows. “Are you done with yours?”
    It took everything he had not to smile at the sight of Jane dismissing him in her skimpy dress, heels, and too much make-up. Buried beneath her beauty was a steel core.  
    His dragon chimed in. You always wanted a strong female. She can be ours. Are you sure you
