Page 45 of Never Flirt with a Dragon

How pretty is he?

I looked up at him for a moment, still doing the dishes.

Me

Fucking gorgeous

Sue

Two, then

One just of him and one of you two together

I’ll only circulate the second one

I bit my lip, and almost laughed.

I’d been worried about losing my job, but my boss just wanted to see a picture of a sexy dragon shifter.

Readers.

That was going to be an awkward thing to relate to said dragon shifter, though.

“Jasper?” I asked.

He turned his head.

“I have a weird request.”

He waited.

“My boss loves fantasy books. She says it’s fine if I end up not getting anything done until heat’s over… but I told her you’re a dragon shifter, so she wants a picture. One of you, and one of both of us together.”

He blinked.

An awkward moment passed.

“Is that even legal?” he finally asked.

“Probably not, but weird shit happens when you’re a professional artist.”

He blinked again, then dried his hands and turned toward me. “Go ahead.”

Oh.

That was easier than I’d expected.

I took a quick picture of him, then crossed the space between us and stood beside him without touching him. Though I held my arm out to try to position the camera, I couldn’t get both of us in the picture.

“Your arms are too short,” he said, taking the phone from me. “Is she sending this to anyone else?”

“Probably. I wouldn’t be surprised if she posts it on her social media, too. Readers love stuff like this.”

“Then we can’t look like we don’t know each other.” His free arm went around my waist, his hand catching my hip.

He eased me to his bare chest, and when my cheek met his skin a moan tore through me.
