and Cami had been human until recently, but maybe there was a difference. “Did you find that you got hornier after you were turned dragon?” She couched the question softly, still aware of the boys playing nearby.

Perhaps being dragon herself was why she couldn’t seem to keep her hands or mouth or other body parts to herself anymore if Levi was around. Now that the invisible wall between them had crumbled to dust, it seemed to be game on. But if that was her nature…

“It’s about the same,” Cami mused. “I wanted Drake from the get-go, any way I could get him.”

“Um…ew,” Lyndi teased, wrinkling her nose. “Warn me next time. That’s my brother.”

Cami lifted her hands in a “what are you going to do?” gesture, unrepentant.

“The best thing,” Delaney said, clearly still thinking through the question, “is I can function on less sleep now, and that whole healing faster thing means I’m not as sore the next morning.”

“Actually,” Sera whispered conspiratorially, “the best thing is the orgasms.”

“Oh gods, yes,” came from the other two in twin groans.

“I’m not getting much sleep. That’s for sure,” Lyndi agreed.

“Well that explains why you’re a bit pale, honey.” Delaney leaned around Sera to grin. “I wondered if you’d caught a bug or something.”

Lyndi shook her head. “Dragon shifters don’t get bugs. I’m just tired is all.”

Sera grinned. “We all know how that goes. We have Blake with us, which means we have to get creative, but Aidan manages to find…ways.” Her expression turned near blissful for a few heartbeats.

I really hope I don’t look that sappy talking about Levi. Still, Lyndi grinned. “Is Aidan…er…”

Having only slept with human men, plus one bear shifter a while back, and none of her own kind, Lyndi wasn’t sure if they were all like Levi when it came to sex.

“What?” Sera asked.

Lyndi shifted positions and tried not to think about the way she’d been so thoroughly and beautifully fucked, though each move twinged inside her and reminded her. “I believe in human terms Levi might be considered…um…dominant.”

Sera didn’t bat an eyelash. “Sounds about right.”

“Yup,” Cami said. “A lamb in the streets, but a lion in the sheets.”

A snort of a laugh escaped her before Lyndi could stop it. But Drake as a lamb was just too much. “Again, eww.”

Delaney tipped her head, considering Lyndi. “I’m surprised you’d let Levi get away with it, though. Given that you’re a dragon already and all.”

“I know,” Lyndi murmured, glancing away. “But…”

“It’s just right?” Cami guessed.

Delaney and Sera both hummed in agreement.

She let out a shaky breath. “Exactly.”

More than she could put words to. As though letting go and letting him take the lead gave her all the power. If, for any reason, she said no, he’d stop. He’d never hurt her or make her do anything she didn’t want to. And so far there was nothing she didn’t want.

“What do you think that means?” Sera pressed gently.

Lyndi just shook her head. “All I can let it mean is that he’s damn incredible in bed.”

“Um…eww,” Cami teased with a wink. “Sister-in-law here.”

“Mom!” Blake’s screech pinging through their minds had both of them on their feet in an instant.

“Blake? What’s wrong?” Sera called as they hustled over to where all of Lyndi’s boys had gathered around where he lay on the ground.

They parted as Blake said, “Watch this!”

Sera jerked to a halt as her son began to shimmer and blur the way shifters did as they changed forms. It only lasted a few seconds, and when it stopped, he was still a dragon.

“Oh wow!” Sera whispered as she dropped into a crouch to look him in the eye. Then rose as he lifted his head.

“I’ve almost got it,” Blake boasted, head tilted at a proud angle. “I can feel it.”

“He did it all on his own,” Elijah said, his face almost as excited as Blake sounded, green eyes glinting with dark green flame. Just like him. He cared so hard. “Just stopped and said, I think I figured it out.”

“That is the best news I’ve had in a long time.” Sera grinned at her son.

“You should get Dad to come see.” Blake’s form practically vibrated with excitement. If he wasn’t careful, he’d ignite his fire.

“Why don’t you call him?” Sera encouraged with a grin.

The telepathy only worked when they were in dragon form, and as the only one shifted in the room, that made it easier for Blake. Only his happy dragon grin sort of froze, then faded. He jerked his head
