Zinc Dragon (Dragon Guard of Drakkaris Book 4) Read online

  “How about setting them up as chaperones for hire or something?”

  “Liam and his crew as male escorts? Kill me now,” Aegis said, tasting bile at the back of his throat.

  “Well, what are they good at?” Citrine chimed in, always the one to answer a question with another question.

  He hated when Citrine did that.

  For a moment, they all sat in silence.

  “You know, they are pretty good with their hands,” Opal said, snapping her fingers. “Since they’ve moved into this old place, it’s been in better shape than ever.”

  Aegis thought about it. Despite the fact that their intermittent brawls with each other had torn the mansion to shreds, the metal dragons had indeed set about fixing the place up since they had come to live with them. There wasn’t a pipe, gasket, heater, or fitting that hadn’t been improved or replaced.

  At first, Aegis had just thought it was boredom. But the more he’d seen it, the more he’d realized the metal dragons, particularly Magnus, were just naturally good at figuring out how things worked and fixing them.

  Whereas Aegis didn’t even care to know how to change a damn light bulb.

  He had more important things to do.

  “Are you suggesting we hire them out as handymen?” Aegis said, the idea taking root in spite of his reservations.

  Citrine nodded. “They can work locally, hire out for odd jobs. It will keep them busy, and if we’re lucky, they’ll run into their mates out there.”

  As much as Aegis hated to agree with it, the idea was sound. If he’d learned anything during his crazy escapades with the gem dragons, it was that fate came to you, not the other way around. Trying to force it didn’t help anything.

  “How do you suppose we do this?” Aegis said, annoyed that Citrine had clearly already been thinking about this but only now brought it up.

  “Don’t worry. I’ve already registered an LLC and an online domain name. I can have a website up by the end of the week, and I’ll just set myself up as the primary contact for the company so you don’t get interrupted when you’re busy.”

  Aegis felt a muscle tick in his jaw. “Do I dare ask what name you settled on?”

  “Rent-A-Dragon,” Citrine replied, looking smug.

  Aegis sighed. “Heaven help us.”

  “It’ll be okay,” Opal said, reassuring him.

  He hoped she was right, for all of their sakes.
