Page 48 of Love Bites Extra Hard

I took a bite, waiting for an answer.

“I’ve never had a friend with benefits before,” he finally admitted. “I’ve fucked a handful of female dragons once or twiceover the years. Otherwise, I just meet someone at one of Hale’s nightclubs once a year or so.”

My eyebrows lifted. “You’re telling me that you usually only have sex once a year?”

“Yes.” He took a bite of his food, still focused on his plate.

“There’s no way.”

He lifted his gaze, and raised an eyebrow. “Why not?”

“You’re…” I gestured toward him. A dozen things came to mind.

Gorgeous.

Amazing in bed.

Always horny.

Sexy as hell.

The dragon king.

“Insatiable,” I finally said.

He shrugged and took another bite, looking down again.

I stared at him for another minute.

He had no reason to lie to me. I’d just told him I expected otherwise. Whatever he said wasn’t going to change anything between us.

So… he was telling the truth.

I finally lifted my fork back to my mouth. “Are you going to ask how often I have sex?”

“Nope.”

I blinked.

He took another bite.

I blinked again.

“That seems out of character,” I finally said.

“I don’t think I’ll like the answer, and it doesn’t matter who you were with before me. None of them compare.”

He was right.

There was no point in debating that.

But it still surprised me.

“I thought you would care more,” I said. “Just because of the possessiveness.”

“Would you rather I demand their names and threaten to kill all of them?”

“No. It would’ve been expected, though. Kai almost murdered a few of the guys Clementine slept with.”
