“Oh, Zane,” I say, coming to sit beside him on the bed and giving him a kiss. “You’ve done such a good job with her. When I saw a nightmare, you saw potential, and you were right.”

He smiles. “I do not see potential. I see what something truly is.”

“Like the way you saw our little group,” I say.

Without missing a beat, he rubs his nose to mine. “You fire dragons. You always need a little ice.” Then, he looks at Granger. “You are the storm dragon. You and I must keep control of the fire dragons, so they do not let the flames in their blood burn them down.”

“Uh, I’ll try,” Granger says, looking uncertain.

Zane laughs. “You do more than try. You complete us. You are the missing piece.”

Granger folds his arms over his chest, looking nervous. “The way you described the storm dragon, as this powerful alpha shifter, I was a little afraid that you’d be disappointed with me.”

He laughs again. “Silly storm dragon.”

I smirk. “You are silly.”

We’re all smiling. Zane gives me a plastic stick with a string on it that has a little mouse attached to the bottom. He shows me how to move it around, make the mouse wiggle, and Miu chases the toy all over the room. It’s hard not to laugh. Hard not to see how this little cat fits in with our little group.

Our little family is complete.

Hours later,I’m sitting at a table in the cafeteria with all my men. It feels strange finally having my harem be complete, almost like I’m building something beautiful. My gaze slides between all my men, and my heart feels full. They’re so goddamn beautiful, and smart, and amazing.How did I get so lucky?

“So,” Evander begins, spearing a piece of orange chicken. “Should we plan on you spending all your time fucking the nerd from now on?”

Granger turns beat red, and his fork tumbles from his hand, hitting his plate loudly. He snatches it back up, with an expression that says he wants to melt into his chair. Poor guy. Fortunately for him, I know how to handle Evander.

I lift a brow. “Careful, you’re looking a little jealous.”

“No, no,” Evander says, defensiveness in his tone. “I’m just making plans. Will you two be going at it for days, weeks, months? What are we looking at here?”

Aydan rolls his eyes. “Come on, the poor guy finally has a taste of sex, let him enjoy it.”

Silence settles over the table. Evander turns to Granger, “You were a virgin?”

Aydan swears under his breath. “That’s not what I meant…”

Evander laughs. “A virgin? At your age? Come on. That’s insane.”

Granger opens his mouth to say something, then slumps down in his chair, but Evander isn’t done. “You must have spent a lot of lonely nights with your fist. Damn, boy, I’d have lost my mind.”

Unable to stop myself, I slip out of my chair and plant myself right in Granger’s lap, grinning at him. “Well, he’s not a virgin any more. He’s just some guy with a huge dick, a bigger dick thanyou, who knows how to make a girl come over and over again with no practice at all.” Then, I plant a big kiss on his lips.

When I pull back, Granger is smiling, looking more relaxed. And he really is something, because his hard length is impossible to ignore beneath me. For some reason, I really want to bend him over and spank his perfect ass.

“Alright, you made your point,” Evander grumbles, his dark eyes filled with remorse.

I grin at him and kiss Granger again before slipping back into my seat.

Zane takes a big sip of his milk and sets the cup down a little too loudly. “I, for one, am pleased about the addition of Granger to the harem. He will help to keep our mate satisfied and protected. We will have to go dragon and practice together, especially to get his unique powers under control.”

“Unique powers?” Evander asks, looking confused.

Zane nods. “Granger is a storm dragon… he can control the weather, even going so far as to use it as a weapon.”
