around them with their blackish-red flames, burning so bright and hot for a few seconds that Apollo could feel his clothes char. To him and his dragon, it felt like little more than the sunshine on a warm summer day.
The Blackscales took flight, the perfectly choreographed, serpentine beasts with gleaming red eyes shooting into the skies. Only when the last hint of them disappeared could Apollo relax a little.
“You know why they were here tonight, right?” Apollo said quietly, feeling the tightness in his chest release slowly, though irritation still gnawed at him with rabid teeth.
“I do.”
Looking over at Alexander, Apollo was surprised to see his brother still fuming, his muscles hard and ready for a fight, almost begging for it. He knew exactly how his twin felt.
“I wasn’t kidding. If anything happens to her…”
“I know. I feel the same way.”
The answer was right inside of Apollo, and he knew what it was. It was painfully obvious to him now, like it had been standing right in front of him all along, and he just hadn’t noticed. Like a revelation or the perfect words to a song that had been in the back of your head for weeks, he didn’t know what to do with Jade arriving in his and Alexander’s life so suddenly. Go for it? Wasn’t that always the right answer?
As if reading his mind, Alexander’s tension oozed out of him and the man took a deep breath, his gold eyes flickering back to blue.
“You know what we have to do now, right?” Alexander asked.
For the first time in as long as Apollo could remember, he felt exactly in sync with his brother – what he felt was echoed in Alexander and Alexander’s rage and fury mirrored in him.
“Yes,” Apollo said, grinning wickedly. Oh yes, he knew exactly what they needed to do. And he was damn well going to enjoy it.
CHAPTER NINE
Jade
Jade yawned to herself, still trying to rub the sleep from her eyes. It was impossibly early, and they’d already been travelling for a while. As far as she could tell, no one was really interested in telling her where it was that they were going. So, it was no wonder that when the black stretch limo she was cooped up in pulled up at a private airstrip, she had more than a little cause for confusion.
“C’mon, green eyes, time to roll,” Apollo said, shoving the door open and hopping out with the grace of a seasoned predator.
Alexander followed him with equal ease, giving Jade a cryptic look on his way out. All Jade could do was glance from one beefcake to another, hang onto her disposable cup of coffee and haul herself out of the car with plenty of questions but no real energy to spare to ask them. She pulled her bass case out along with her, Michelle giving it a slight push when it caught stuck behind one of the plush seats.
“So, um, what’s going on?” Jade asked between yawns, shielding her eyes with her hand from the rising sun sweeping across the airfield.
“Your guess is as good as mine,” Michelle mumbled, lighting a cigarette and glaring at the Goldplains brothers.
They were hard at work unloading suitcases from the limo, not letting the driver lift a finger, when Jade noticed her two ragged cases as well. She wasn’t even aware they’d been brought along. All that she’d been told in the morning was that she needed to get up, NOW, and so she’d done. Of course, getting out from between Apollo’s sheets had been a struggle and a half, but to her credit, she’d only taken one lengthy inhale before she got down to brass tacks. It was unfair how damn good they smelled, and a girl was allowed a tiny bit of indulgence, right?
“Isn’t it obvious?” Apollo asked with a wolfish grin that begged to either be kissed or smacked off his face. “We’re going on an adventure! Aventura! All that jazz.”
Alexander just snorted and slammed the boot shut.
“No, we’re not going on an adventure. Michelle, I’m sorry we woke you up this early, but we figured if we got so close to the
