Liekki growled.Not today.
Shit.Yes, normally, he hated those two things.It was the managerial and peacemaker part of the Mckenna position, Liekki could live without ever having to do in his life.But it was before him today, and he should have found it to be a relief.
A distraction not to deal with the infuriating female at his home, in his spaces.
Avalore.
She was short and bossy.
More like short, stacked, and bossy.
Fuck.Fuck.Liekki blindly snatched one of the reports and began reading through it.Telling himself there wasn’t any reason to notice the curve of her body.Nothing was going to happen.
Then his mind flashed to whathadhappened.Her on the table before him and how well she had fit in his hands, against his cock.
His cock throbbed in agreement.
Liekki blinked and stared at the words on the paper before returning to the top again because he had missed every word of what he was supposed to be reading.It would make his day more insufferable and longer if he had to read each report twice before approving it or have Yeongi call the leader responsible if he had questions about it.
However, as soon as he began scrolling through it, his stomach growled and he recalled why he was still hungry.Like fucking clockwork even on the mornings after he ended night patrol, he’d go to the hall and devour at least three full plates to satisfy his and his dragon’s hunger.
Drahks enjoyed eating and had big appetites.
Well, a big appetite in all things.
This was the only reason he could think he’d gone after Avalore after getting rid of the blacksmith.He could have quickly ignored her and walked away, then gone to Aodh’s head table and eaten.
But, his hunger for substance had been quickly replaced with an all-consuming starvation for her.
He shook his head and started reading the damn report a third time.
“What was she doing there?”The words tumbled out of his mouth without him being able to stop the thought.
He’d address that with Chumana, a Drahk female he should be trying to fuck where there would be no attachments instead of his sexy, no-nonsense houseguest.And the kind Drahk who worked in the kitchen had recently landed on his radar and he’d pondered the right moment to approach her.
Grr.No.His dragon growled.
“That was fucking before.Hold your damn tail and shut it,” Liekki grumbled back.He was very clear about where his beast’s territorial ass stood when it came to the hazel-eyed, sienna-painted beauty.
Chumana was kind and helpful, so he figured she would be the least threatening Drahk he could send to assist Avalore.However, he’d specifically asked the Drahkelle to take his guest a tray and clothes.
Because if Liekki had to go home and see Avalore dressed in his shirt or a sheet again, he’d fucking lose his mind or find his cock buried inside of her.
“Not going to happen.”He huffed a heavy breath, and a cloud of white smoke puffed out of his mouth, letting him know that his dragon was still fully invested in his mental conversation and steaming mad at him.
Liekki planned to keep ignoring the beast.He stared at the report a fourth time.
Why hadn’t Chumana done what he’d asked?If she had, he’d have eaten and had a bit of peace before the tortuous, mundane reports were before him. As the acting Mckenna in Aodh’s stead, Liekki would have to call the Drahkelle to task for ignoring his direct orders.
Well, not directly, he’d made a request to a Thunder mate, one that she could have turned down.However, he’d seen the canary hue of her scale markings and the matching flames in the cook’s irises, evidence how curious she was to discover what woman Liekki had holed up in his place.
Liekki slammed his hand on the paper, flexed his fingers, ready to crumble the sheet and toss it away.
Shit.He caught himself before he destroyed the report, had to eat a vulture-sized bird, and ask Yeongi to create another report.And admit he didn’t know which report it was.
Pressing out the paper, Liekki looked at the heading: LIVESTOCK.
It was from Admani.
