Free Billionaire Dragons' Fated: BBW Paranormal Dragon Shifter Menage Romance by Anya Nowlan

little.
    Oh god, don’t get any closer. If he does, I might just stop looking at the valley completely and just sink into his eyes, Jade thought, squirming a bit in her seat.
    Apollo flashed her a smile, and Alexander chuckled a private laugh. When she cocked a brow, curious as to what was so funny, Alexander and Apollo just shared one of their ‘twin looks’ and didn’t explain themselves at all – typical men, keeping her guessing.
    And that was exactly what they were doing to her now. As soon as they’d got on the airplane for the short flight from New Mexico to Colorado, Jade had started shooting questions and guesses at them. The Goldplains brothers seemed to take some pleasure in teasing her, letting her concoct ever more preposterous assumptions as to where and how they were going to be hiding out in Colorado for a week, and why she had had to come along.
    Not that she minded, hell no. She’d found herself rattling off questions and just talking through the flight to distract herself from the fact that she was staring at two of the hottest men in existence, and damn if it wasn’t driving her a little bit batty.
      “After the gold started waning, we figured it was time to diversify. So that’s where the wheat came in. You might not know this, but the Goldplains happen to be one of the foremost wheat kings in the country,” Alexander said, obviously pleased with what his family had built.
    “I’d never pegged dragons for farmer types,” Jade noted with a snort.
    “Oh, we’re not. But we’re great at managing,” Alexander said, grinning. “A few generations ago, one of our forefathers, Atlas, put down the first fields right here in Gold Way. Centerville, the little town in the middle, used to be a gold town, but now it’s a gold and wheat kind of place. We’ve been expanding since Atlas’s time.”
    “Hell, we own half of Kansas at this point, I think,” Apollo added with a leisurely shrug.
    “And North Dakota,” Alexander finished.
    Jade watched the brothers share another satisfied look amongst themselves, the men practically beaming with self-satisfaction. She smiled to herself. It shouldn’t have surprised her to find that dragons took their wealth very seriously. They were dragons, after all.
    “Ares seems to be in a hurry,” Apollo said, looking out through the windshield.
    Jade looked in the direction of his gaze and gasped, seeing a large, golden-white dragon take flight off the roof of the mansion down in the valley. The sun glinted and gleamed off of him, throwing rays of pure gold around him as he sped up into the cloudless skies, powerful wings carrying him upward.
    Unlike the Blackscales, he didn’t have a thin, arrowed tail, but instead sported something more akin to a bulky mallet of thick scales and muscle at the end of the long appendage. His creamy white underbelly looked almost the color of the whitest clouds as he started disappearing from sight, letting out a last, parting roar that made the skies tremble around him.
    “Wow,” Jade muttered, her heart pounding quickly in her chest.
    The gold dragon was spectacular. While the black dragons she’d seen had made her stomach knot and twist with fear, this one just made her stop in awe. Funny how big the difference was. She knew that she’d have nothing to fear from a dragon like that – an emotion that she certainly didn’t feel when she saw the deadly Blackscales.
    “That’s our younger brother, Ares. It was his turn to guard the hoard,” Alexander explained.
    “The… hoard?”
    “We’re dragons, green eyes. There has to be a hoard,” Apollo said, giving her a wolfish grin.
    “Oh. Is that… Is that how dragons usually do it? Round-robin guarding it?”
    Alexander shrugged, making the car careen around another sharp curve before finally hitting the flatlands. Within moments, the car had disappeared into a sea of tall, bowed wheat. It was relaxing. It almost felt like home to Jade, who had spent much of her
