Bear To The Bone (Bear Claw Security 1) (18 page)
Perry shook his head. “No. But we’re the best protection you could ask for. Tell us you agree, seal it with your handshake, and we’ll show you what we are.”
He put out a hand, and she looked down at it. She felt when she put her hand out, she’d be agreeing to something far beyond her comprehension. But she didn’t have a choice. They were right; she could be in danger.
“There are rules,” Tor said. “In general, humans aren’t supposed to know. But as the leaders of this zone, we can make exceptions. You should know this is an offer that won’t come again.”
She took a deep breath and let it out and then put her hand in Perry’s. It was warm and strong, squeezing hers once before releasing her as both dragons stood.
Tor reached down, swept her up in his arms and started striding outside before she could let out a squeak of protest.
She pushed at his shoulders. “What are you doing?”
“Taking you outside,” he said.
“Will someone see us? Is everyone gone?” she asked.
Perry led the way out a side exit, and Tor shook his head down at her. “In a moment, no one will be able to see us at all.”
Tor set her down and walked ten or twenty feet across the lawn at the secluded side of the house. Then he disappeared, leaving a shimmering blank space where he’d been. Perry followed suit, and she saw the outline of two shapes that couldn’t be seen except in the way they were different from the air and space around him.
They had been the invisible forces, and they were gigantic.
She gaped up at them. “You were the wind,” she said. “You knocked people into my desk.”
“Not the wind,” Perry said. “We
ride
the wind.”
She heard a whoosh, something flapping, and then something above her. She looked up at nothing just as something closed around her middle and lifted her into the air.
As they shot upward, not stopping until they were in the clouds, Lexie opened her eyes to finally see the ground far below her, her body encased by something strong and dark. She put her arms over it and felt roughness.
Then she looked above her, where the shapes were no longer invisible.
She was carried in the grip of a shimmering, beautiful creature with shining red scales and giant black wings that beat the air, keeping them afloat. Ahead of them, a large, silver tail and wings led the way.
They were dragons.
