“You told him that?” I cried. “I told you that in confidence!”

Drew’s eyes lit with mirth.

“The man needed to know that his dick made you rather have sex with your dildo instead of him,” Drew added. “I can see it’s starting to add up.”

“My dick is not bad looking!” he fumed.

“Actually,” I said. “It is.”

Danny’s face became mottled with rage.

“Take that back,” he hissed.

The front door to my house banged open and I immediately hopped off the counter.

“Get out of my house!” I screamed at the woman.

The woman tossed me a cursory glance, ignored me, and walked straight up to Danny.

“Let him go, or I’ll arrest you,” she ordered Drew.

Drew laughed at her.

“I’d like to see you try,” he said to the woman that I’d caught Danny cheating on me with.

Her hand shot forward, but Drew caught it before she could punch him in the face.

“Darlin’,” he drawled. “I know you’re a cop…but you’re a woman. No matter what you try to do, you’re never going to be a man. I have the same training as you…in fact, I have more. I’ve easily got a hundred pounds and eight inches on you, and your form’s all wrong.”

He pushed her fist away from him, also knocking her back a few steps in the shove.

She hissed and pulled out her gun, or she would have had Downy not stopped her.

“Ms. Meek,” Downy said with authority lacing his tone. “You are off duty. You’re in a house that’s not yours and you were not invited into it. You assaulted a fire fighter, and to be honest, I don’t like you all that much. I suggest you take Danny and get the fuck out of here. I don’t think I need to tell you how this will go if you decide to pursue this, right?”

Officer Meek bared her teeth at Downy.

“No,” she said. “I don’t think you do, Assistant Chief Downy. You’ve made yourself clear, Sir.”

Drew let Danny go, who immediately sagged when Drew was no longer holding him up.

“I don’t want to see you here again,” Downy snapped.

“Except for when you return Aspen’s things,” Drew added when the two went to leave.

Danny snarled a curse.

Downy’s brows rose.

“You took some belongings that aren’t yours, Officer?” Downy asked Danny.

“I didn’t…” Danny started to say, but the lady dragon stopped him before he could get much more out.

“We’ll return it via a courier tomorrow,” she replied hastily, exiting as fast as she could get Danny out of there.

“Well…” I murmured, turning to my brother and Drew. “Are we still on for lunch, at least?”

Downy’s eyes narrowed.
