She had changed her mind. No sex. She wouldn’t give him any ideas. Shit! She realized that she was staring and looked away. Her cheeks felt hot.

Coal had just finished looking at her other foot, he put it down. He grabbed ahold of his pants and tore them. There was a loud ripping sound.

“What are you doing?” She sounded a bit panicked. Well because, she was a bit panicked. Why was he tearing off his pants?

“I will make you foot coverings. I can also carry you if you need me to.”

Julie shook her head. “Make me shoes and I’ll walk. Just, maybe leave certain parts of yourself covered… please.”

He smiled. “I didn’t think you would like the idea of me carrying you.” His smile widened and turned a little arrogant. “I saw you checking out my cock just now. Are you sure you don’t want me naked? It would mean more material for your feet.”

“I was not checking out your... I…” Her cheeks heated… again. Damn him. “I can’t help that you put that thing in my line of sight. Kinda hard to miss.” She mumbled. “I definitely don’t want to see it. Thank you very much.”

“Whatever you say, Julie.” He handed her one of his pants legs and began tearing the other one off. A shit eating grin covered his face. Note to self, do not check this guy out again. Coal had an ego about a mile wide.

His thighs were a thing of beauty though. Not looking! The asshole chuckled as he handed her the other pants leg. She narrowed her eyes at him as she took the material. Julie began wrapping it around her foot. Coal was a savage. His people had abducted her against her will. She needed to hold onto that.

****

“We are almost there.” Coal looked at her with sympathy. She wanted to feel sorry for him, but couldn’t allow herself to feel that way. The dragon shifters had abducted her. It was his fault she was in this sorry state. He looked perfectly fine. He looked like he could sprint up the mountain and back without breaking a sweat. She was holding him back, dragging him down but he deserved it. Asshole!

Julie limped. The undersides of her feet throbbed. Her muscles ached. Her knee was puffy and didn’t bend properly. “What’s your definition of almost?” Her breath came out in pants. There was a lump on her head where she’d hit the pavement but her headache was gone. The only thing that was looking up. Yay!

“Another mile, two at the most.”
