He may not ever put his lips on another woman’s flesh ever again. “I am not flirting with you. I am seducing you.”

“Do you get a bonus if we request you by name? What’s your name? Ooh, wait, do guys have stripper names too? I’ll bet yours is cinnamon, no wait, honey buns.”

“I don’t belong to any agency, I don’t need a job, and I’m not a stripper. My name is Steele.”

“That’s a perfect stripper name. Wait. You’re not from the agency? Are you freelance? I didn’t know that was a thing.”

Steele stepped closer, pushing her lush body against the counter. He set a hand on either side, caging her in.

“I am not a stripper, little flower. I am a dragon.”

CHAPTER TWO

Did He Say Dragon?

Fleur knew lots ofshape-shifters. She’d become friends with Jordan and Carly when she’d started working at the same school with them. They’d fully embraced her educational gardening project.

The Wolfe’s had become almost a second family to her. Well, a first family, since she didn’t really have one. Jordan, Carly, Nicole, Emma, and Ellie hadn’t thought she was a complete weirdo like everyone else at school... or life.

She’d had more than a passing crush on at least two or three of the Wolfe boys when the girls had introduced her to them all. But, they were all paired off with her friends, mated.

The sex-on-a-stick standing in front of her was not mate material. What he was, was the hottest thing she’d ever seen and she’d tried her best to hide her instant attraction to him.

“A dragon, huh?” She shrugged like it was no big deal. In all her time in Blue Creek, she’d never once known a dragon. Were all of them this charismatic and sexy?

He ran the back of his knuckles down her arm. “Yes, Daxton and I are both dragon shifters. But, what are you, my treasure?”

While she was thoroughly enjoying all the attention this dominant, alpha shifter was showing her, she had other plans. She poked him in the chest, giving herself a little static electricity shock, pushing him away. “Don’t go thinking you can eat me up. I’ve got a party to hostess and Jell-o shots to hand out.”

Plus, there was this year’s scenting ceremony, the biggest one ever, five packs from across the country were coming together. Barbara Wolfe, the matriarch of the Wolfe clan had invited her, and while the girls warned her about Barbara’s matchmaking, Fleur was excited.

Steele didn’t budge an inch when she tried to push him away. He did get a lascivious glint to his eye. “I will do everything in my power to eat you up. And down, and sideways if you like.”

A flutter tickled her low in the belly. She couldn’t help the grin flirting with this dragon brought to her lips. He was a total perv, and she kinda liked that. Not a lot of men she’d known had found her perv-worthy.

She’d let him flirt and tease her with little kisses when she thought he was a stripper, thinking that zing she’d felt was part of the excitement of the night.
