Even though she had every right to enter, she knocked. A second later, Jose opened the door.
And the man was shirtless.
As she gaped at the chiseled muscles of his chest and abs, she forgot all about the house, the employee, and even how chilly it was. She'd always thought the information about how dragon-shifters were so toned from all the flying in their dragon form had to be an exaggeration.
Apparently not.
Her gaze dipped lower, to the trail of hair going down his abdomen and she bit her lip at the erection punching against his jeans.
A rather sizable one.
With a growl, Jose pulled her inside and shut the door. In the next beat, she was pinned against it, his face mere inches from hers.
As his hot breath danced across her lips, a barely there caress, her knees nearly gave out. She was finally alone with him, the sexy dragon-shifter with an eidetic memory. The one who probably would've given her an orgasm earlier, in the small meeting room, if she'd allowed it.
What would he do now, she wondered, anticipation making her heart pound.
Careful, Tori. Don't get in over your head.
Jose murmured, "Didn't your book tell you to be careful when dealing with a horny dragon-shifter?"
"N-Not much. Just that you need to be really sure you want it before being alone with one."
He traced her cheek, then her mouth, tracing the shape of each lip. As he gently stroked back and forth across her bottom lip, the touch made her nipples and center throb. Her mouth opened slightly as if trying to gasp.
At this rate, she wouldn't have a chance to ask him any questions before they were both naked and "getting to work" as Ashley had put it.
As Jose spoke, Victoria somehow managed to hear his words despite his steady caress against her mouth. "Yes, wanting it—hot, sweaty, life-changing sex—is true." He pressed the very tip of his forefinger inside her mouth, but he removed the digit before she could nibble it.
Nibble it? Yes, bookworm extraordinaire Victoria Lewis had been about to lightly bite a dragonman's finger.
His pupils flashed before he murmured, "And since you're here, that must mean you're really sure about what comes next."
She nodded, wishing she had some sort of witty remark to make. But Victoria surprised even herself when she asked, "When do we get started?"
He groaned before lowering his head to her earlobe. He nipped it before licking the sting, and she leaned more heavily against the door. A part of her wished he'd shred her clothes with his talons—she was pretty sure they could change only part of their bodies like that—hoist her up and fuck her against the door. Hard.
What? She had no idea where that thought had come from. Maybe he emitted some sort of pheromone that acted as an aphrodisiac.
After nipping her ear again, he said, "I know what my little human needs. But to make extra sure, strip and sit on the couch."
His request made her cheeks burn. Never had she stripped for a man before, let alone on the day she'd just met him. "Can't I go to the bathroom first to freshen up?" And build up my courage.
He kissed her jaw. "No way. I burn to see your lovely skin, human." His voice lowered a fraction. "And I don't want to wait to see just how wet and swollen you are for me already."
Damn, at his dirty words, her clit throbbed as she nearly lifted her hips against him. Okay. She could do this. "Then you're going to have to step back. I don't have superhuman strength like you, unless you want me to knee you in the balls to get free?"
"You don't want to do that, human." His hand lightly brushed her side, his touch leaving electricity in its wake before he stepped back. "Otherwise, you'd have to wait for me to bury myself deep inside your tight pussy, deeper than you've ever felt before, and I don't think you want to wait, either."
Her breasts grew even heavier, and she burned to strip and let him do what he wanted.
Never had she felt this at ease with a man, let alone this soon.
Maybe he had super dragon-shifter powers of seduction.
Jose moved to stand near the couch and he raised an eyebrow in question.
I guess that means it's time to try and strip for a dragonman.
