."Dri laughed softly and took a long pull of his beer."Has the kit fixated on anything yet? Besides Ken, obviously."Ricky groaned."Caramel.Apparently he's always been a fan.It's only gotten worse now."Tori started laughing so hard he had to put his beer down."Caramel.Which goes so well with chocolate.""Didn't I tell you to shut up? We don't all want orgies, you pervert." Ricky took a swing at his brother, knocking him lightlyupside the head."Behave.""Never.""Speaking of behaving," Ricky said, sobering."I never heard back from the Clan.I'd wanted to take Ken and Nev there, toteach them a little bit more about real dragons& I don't suppose anyone has spoken to either of you?"Tori shook his head."No.""I never hear anything except through Oliver," Dri said."Haven't spoken to him in weeks."Ricky and Tori shared a look that made Dri frown."That would certainly explain why he's been an ass lately.""What in the hell are you talking about?" Dri asked, setting his beer down with a clink.Tori rolled his eyes."Oh, whatever.You're not fooling us.""I have no idea what the hell you're talking about," Dri snapped."Oliver's been in a bad mood for weeks.I mean, the guy is cool as hell so far as lawyers go, and he's remarkably nice to usterrible and horrid deserters - but he's positively chipper where you're concerned."Dri stared at them in absolute confusion."What in the hell are you talking about?""You really didn't notice?" Ricky asked."Dri, with us he talks business, business, and more business.Every now and thenthe weather, even less often the Clan.When you go to visit him, you guys talk and talk and talk.We can always tell whenyou've been to see Oliver because he's all smiles for days after.Even the office has noticed you brighten things up.""That's stupid.You're both insane."Tori snorted but otherwise said nothing.Ricky snickered."Bro, Oliver likes you.How much exactly, we couldn't say, but Mr.Cool Cucumber Lawyer becomes Mr.file:///H|/NOVEL/New%20novel/The%20Dragon%20Pits.htm[9/25/2009 10:22:03 AM] AmaSour FictionSunshine when you're around.""Yeah," Tori chipped in."Call him up if you don't believe us.Schedule an appointment.I bet that whole, hassled office willsend you a bouquet of flowers in thanks.""Insanity," Dri said."You're both fucking nuts." Oliver.Liked him.Ha! Oliver was& Oliver.Good looking, sure.He wasslender, boney, a look that worked for him, especially in the suits he wore like a second skin.Sharp and clever as a fox.Pale blonde hair and piercing gray eyes.Definitely a pleasure for the eyes, but Dri had only ever noticed in a distant way.Itwas suddenly bizarre to think of Oliver as something other than his lawyer."There's no way Oliver likes me.We just getalong, that's all."Both his brothers rolled their eyes.At his feet, Lin slowly stood up, then shifted to sit on the arm of Dri's chair.He slid an arm around Dri's shoulders.His hairwas dark blonde, and like Dri's it was close-cropped, a few feather strands brushing across his forehead, into his eyes.Likeall dragons, his eyes were pale amber.He ducked his head to nuzzle Dri's hair, free hand stroking his cheek."Oliver? Thelawyer& you always come back smelling like mint and silk.""That's Oliver all right," Tori said with a grin."His cologne has mint in it," Dri said absently."He loves silk." He shook his head."I cannot believe for two seconds thatOliver likes me."Tori snorted."Call him, arrange to see him, I guarantee his mood will immediately improve.""I have no reason to make an appointment."Ricky frowned in thought."Maybe you and Oliver can get the kits into the Clan.I really think it would do them good, but noone will talk to me.""That's what you get for playing in the Pits," Dri said with a grimace."In perfect keeping with the Clan, they overlook yoursaving the kits.""Good ol' Clan," Tori said dryly."I'm getting more beer.Anything else?"Lin dipped his head again to nibble on Dri's ear."Snack time."Dri turned his head to steal a soft kiss."Is it? I'm not so certain."Growling at the tease, Lin nipped Dri's bottom lip before kissing him hard."Snack time."Ricky laughed."Yes, but what sort of snack are you after?""Honey," Lin answered."I'm saving Dri for later." He turned to look at the group still wreaking havoc on the beach."Whenthe kit is gone.Smelling lust would not be good." His amber eyes warmed with amusement."Ken might get a littleoverwhelmed." Around the table the men chuckled."Dri still has scars from the first time," he said with a soft smirk."Don't we all." Tori laughed loudly as he returned with more beer and a small plate on which rested a large pastrysmothered with honey and nuts."Don't let the others see or we'll be stampeded with demands for treats.""They'll get theirs later," Lin declared, slowly licking honey from one finger before he started devouring the bun itself.Dri wrapped an arm around Lin's waist and leaned up to lick honey from his lips."Mmm, dragon and honey."Lin's eyes nearly glowed."Honey and Dri is better.However, now I wonder what Dri would taste like with mint and silk.""What?" Dri blinked."Are we back on Oliver already? You're all insane.Why do you want to know more about Oliver?"Another soft kiss was placed on his mouth, tasting of honey and sweet pastry."Dri smells good with mint and silk on him."Tori chuckled."Oh, looks like I might not be the only deviant in the family.""Enough," Dri said firmly."Lin, we'll discuss this later.""Yes, Dri."file:///H|/NOVEL/New%20novel/The%20Dragon%20Pits
