He said nothing, just stared at her, unblinking.
“I guess now you know. So there’s nothing to stop us, is there?”
His eyes flared. “Gods, Min, it’s not that simple. I just—what if you get emmeshed with me and then you or I realize it’s a mistake? Then what? At least if it’s a clean business arrangement, I can keep my head clear. I have to keep my head clear or I?—”
A lick of flame escaped his nostrils.
“See what I mean? Min, this is what happens when I’m aroused. I throw flames. Dragons are beasts. We have beastly instincts and beastly anatomy. A sexual liaison with a dragon, it’s not something many humans would be prepared to enter into.”
“I’ve enjoyed it so far,” she mumbled, giving him a little glance from under her lashes.
He smirked at that, even as he shrugged helplessly.
“Min, I am going to bed, you are going to bed. Separately.”
“Is that what you really want?”
“No, actually, it’s not what I want. Look what you do to me.” He stood wide, magnificent in his pants and swept a hand down past his crotch, which was bulging so much the zipper stood out proud.
“I’m fucking suffering here, Min.”
“Then… please, Ethan.”
“You don’t want to see what’s inside my pants.”
She raised her head and her eyes sparked. “Yes, actually, I do.”
He cursed softly under his breath. “No!” He covered his crotch firmly with big green fists. “Min, have you even seen a human penis?”
“No. I mean, yes—in an anatomy book.” She didn’t add that they’d always looked woefully inadequate, comical even.
“Well, I am telling you, if you haven’t seen human dick, dragon dick is not where you want to start, sweetheart.”
Wild-eyed, he grabbed her neatly folded PJs from the coverlet.
“Min, please. Go to bed. Dream of unicorns. They’re safer than dragons.”
And with that, he stomped into the dressing room and slammed the door behind him, leaving Min clutching her PJs and trying to swallow the lump of shame and disappointment in her throat.
CHAPTER 17
“Not this one,” Ethan growled, tossing aside the picture of Min, head flung back, eyes closed, her mouth forming a perfect, ecstatic circle. He knew exactly when that photo was taken—right as she almost came around his tail. “No way are we using this one.”
The ferret photographer gave him a sly look. “Makes it look genuine though, eh?”
Ethan tore the photo into shreds.
The ferret looked surprised, then smug. “I’ve got the originals.”
Ethan was out of his chair and around his desk faster than wildfire, grabbing the ferret by his grubby collar.
“You work for me. You are paid by me. And I will choose the photos. This was not a peep show, and you do not get to lasciviously decide what you will and won’t show. Understood?”
“Okay, hold your scales together. Got it, loud and clear,” the ferret placated.
Ethan gave him a little shake for good measure before dropping the pesky creature and returning to his seat.
He tried to stay calm as he flicked through the shots again. Goddess in heaven, they sure had gone for it. Apart from the ones of he and Min tail-playing at the table, there were a dozen of them kissing, her slender thighs clasped around his strong ones, her dress falling away from her legs and his finger digging into her butt. Heck, he wanted to preserve Min’s dignity. These were going to be splashed across the press, and suddenly it really mattered that she wasn’t humiliated.
