Page 25 of The Dragon's Surprise
His finger continued caressing the back of her hand, and she nearly leaned closer to his heat and scent. What was it about this dragonman that made her want to throw caution to the wind?
Not that she would. Still, she wondered just how much being someone’s true mate affected things.
“So? Will you come?”
She nodded. “Okay. It’s a date.”
He smiled slowly until he grinned, and it made her belly flip. He really was too handsome.
“Good, and just in time since Ethan’s waving at us to join him. But just know that later, I’m going to use all of my dragon charms on you, Lexi Sakamoto, and you won’t stand a chance.”
With that, he walked over to Ethan, and Lexi followed, somewhat stunned. Jenny pulled her aside and whispered, “Judging by your look, you two have made up. Now, come sit with me and I’ll give you a few pointers on how to handle a dragonman.”
And so Lexi went, although she kept stealing glances at Kyle as she ate. He gave most of his focus to Ethan, but every once in a while, he’d look up and smile at her.
Yep, she was in trouble. She only hoped it was the good kind.
Chapter Eight
While Kyle looked forward to better knowing his son and starting the adoption process, both man and beast were glad they could spend some time alone with Lexi. The fact she was giving him a chance, even after he’d been an ass, was something he wouldn’t take for granted.
His dragon spoke up.Good. Because she should be ours. Don’t fuck it up again.
I’ll try not to. But it’s not as if you’ve been helping, flashing images of her naked in our bed.
I consider it motivation. Maybe I should give you some right now.
Before he could protest, the doorbell rang, and he said quickly,Behave. At least for a little while.
We’ll see. It depends on how you do.
Not wanting his dragon to give him dating advice, Kyle went to the front door, opened it, and promptly forgot how to speak.
Lexi wore black jeans and a tight top that highlighted her slight curves. The top was dark blue with sequin things around the neckline, and it drew his gaze to her breasts.
Small, just a handful, and ones he wanted to worship with his mouth.
Lexi cleared her throat, and he met her gaze again. “Keep looking at me like that and I might do something I’ll regret.”
Once she was inside, he asked, “Which is?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know.”
She smiled, and he chuckled. “I would. But somehow, I think you’re going to make me work for it.”
“Damn straight.” She sniffed the air. “Is that tonkatsu?”
He guided her down the hall. “Yes. I’ve never made the dish, and I have no hope of it being as good as your grandmother’s, but I tried.”
The deep-fried pork cutlet was simple enough, but getting the seasoning and the sauce right had taken some time. Especially since he’d had to ask around for all the ingredients in a single afternoon.
But as she entered the kitchen and rushed over to the plates he’d made—the pork cutlets were served with diced cabbage, a little dish of sauce, and rice—the excitement in her voice made it all worth it. “It looks so pretty! And you even have sesame seeds to grind up, for the sauce.”
“You said they made the difference. I had to try making the tonkatsu sauce, though, since it’s not something they sell in the clan store.”
“Where do you keep the spoons?”
He handed her one. She scooped up a little of the sauce and put it between her lips. She sighed in pleasure, and his dragon growled.We could make her sigh even louder, if she’d sit on the counter and let us devour her pussy.
