Grey nodded. “That’s right. It’s why we get along so well.”
“That’s one trait you have of a CEO. You’re a workaholic.”
“No. I just like to be sure that all of my days are as productive as can be.”
She pretended to fall asleep and snored. “Wow. You’re a bag of laughs, huh? It’s a good thing that your dad chose this place with its silly team-building games because you need some silliness in your life.”
“I’m a grown man on a business trip playing hide and seek. The last thing my life needs is moresilliness.”
She shrugged without being convinced. “Maybe you just need to find the right kind of thing to shake you loose.” Kaia moved her body on the chair, shaking herself about. “What do you think would do it for you?”
“I have no clue.” It was a lie. He knew exactly what would shake everything loose.
Her. Kaia could. If Grey had things his way, he would kiss Kaia like she was the only woman in the world and then fuck her until they were both satiated.
She turned to look at him, even pulling up her sunglasses. “I think you’re lying to me, which is fine. I’m a stranger, but it would be a really good idea if you did something insane like went skinny dipping.”
His cock hardened immediately. “Is that an invitation?”
She giggled and covered her face. “Oh, please. Like I would ever be that easy.”
“It wouldn’t make you easy.”
Kaia faced the water once more, but there was a smile on her lips. She was considering it. That’s why she was looking out at the water. Did she imagine what it would be like to be in the water with him? Nude with nothing but water between them?
His breath caught.
You need to chill. We can’t be sitting here on the beach, sporting a hard cock. Get it together. Skinny dipping doesn’t even soundthatfun.His dragon huffed because nothing sounded as wonderful as skinny dipping with Kaia.
“Why doesn’t your dad just pick his older son?” Kaia asked, breaking the silence with a killer question.
“Some people think that the CEO should get the job on merit and not because they were born to it. I agree. I would accept it if my dad didn’t think I was the right man for the job.”
“Fuck that. No. If you want to be the CEO and don’t get chosen, you open your own business. Become your own CEO.”
He laughed. “Because it’s that easy, huh?”
“I didn’t say it would be easy. I just said you shouldn’t give up on it even if it’s not handed to you.”
He laid his head against the chair and took a deep breath, letting the breeze cool him. “Why did your coven come here for a holiday?”
“My sister is going through a really bad divorce right now. Her ex is angry. She’s angry. Everyone is angry, so it’s just been a lot of fighting and a lot of tension. I thought if we took this trip, she would relax.”
“You like making people relax, huh?”
“I’m a guidance counselor at a high school. Helping people remain calm is kind of what I do for a living.”
“Ha. It makes so much sense now. It’s not just helping people stay calm, but you also like to get people thinking. I bet you’re the best guidance counselor in the world.”
“Well, maybe not the world, but definitely in the district.” She smiled at him. “See? Now you have to listen to me. You know that my advice is professionally sound.”
Grey leaned over, closing the distance between their two chairs. He pressed his lips against hers before running his tongue along the seam of her mouth. She let him in with a moan. Her hands went to his chest, and he swore that her touch was hotter than the sun. He was a dragon, but her heat might undo him.
They had to pull away, given the awkward angle of the chairs, but it was for the best. If they had kept on kissing, Grey’s erection would have burst right through his swimsuit. He licked his lips, desperate to kiss her again.
Kaia lay back in her seat and blew out a breath. “I didn’t expect that to happen.”
“Sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
