“It’s gonna be a lot of this,” he warned her.
“That’s okay. I work in a high school. This is nothing.”
“Any pointers?” he asked with a grin.
“Yeah, take away their favorite toy, and they’ll listen. Either that or put them in detention.”
“This holidayistheir detention.” Grey laughed. “I don’t know how we could detain them any more than we already have.”
“I have an idea,” she started. “It’s a little weird.”
“This I gotta hear. Tell me.”
She looked around and shook her head. “This is a room of shifters. I’ll tell you later. Just know, it’s good.”
“Good because you’re the best guidance counselor in your district?”
“I’ve got the plaque and everything, but no. That’s not where I’m getting this idea from …” She covered her mouth and giggled. “I’ll tell you later.”
“Don’t forget.”
She grinned. “Like I could.”
He hoped Kaia was no longer talking about her mischievous idea but about him. Grey hoped Kaia could never forget him.
He sure would never forget her.

Greyson didn’t wantto be a stalker, but he was about ten minutes away from knocking on Kaia’s door.
But then, when he showed up at her door, he would have to face an angry Rachel, an eager Ian, and, no doubt, a very upset Kaia.
Their night hadn’t exactly ended in the best way.Again. His dumb coworkers kept on interfering with his love life. Ironic since he was here for work, and his love life shouldn’t even be on his mind. But he couldn’t stop thinking about Kaia. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her face.
He hadn’t kissed her in way too long.
Grey had intended to walk her back to her cabana after the drinks were done, but before the waiters had even brought out the appetizers Dad ordered, Richard threw a drink at Jorge, who threw a couple of punches before stalking off.
Grey had grabbed one of the imps ... Ocho ... and paid him candy corn to walk Kaia back to her room. She insisted it wasn’t necessary, but he had asked her on a date, and that meant he should be a gentleman and walk her home.
But, of course, Richard and Jorge were intent on making everyone around them as miserable as they were. The insults they threw at each other were just plain odd. Grey didn’t know what to think anymore.
All he could do was roam the resort in the hopes of running into Kaia. The place was massive, and he hadn’t had any luck. He was due to have dinner with his dad, but he had some time before then.
Hopefully, enough time to find Kaia and ask her out.Again.
Hopefully, this time, no other dragon would ruin it.Again.
He stopped short on his way to the beach when he spotted Kaia sitting alone at one of the poolside bars. He didn’t know whether he should smile or be pissed she was all by herself. Her little purple sundress left very little to the imagination. He could even see her black swimsuit under, peaking out to say hello.
Before he knew what he was doing, he was on his way over to her. He pulled out one of the vacant chairs beside her and sat down, motioning over to one of the bartenders for a coffee. Kaia finally looked up at him, and she gasped in surprise.
“You.” She might deny her attraction to him, but she couldn’t hide her heartbeat. It was fast. Only when he was around. A dragon could get ideas from that.
“Me,” he responded just as the waiter brought over a cup of coffee. He took a sip of it, watching her carefully. “Why are you sitting here alone?”
“I’m not alone.” She lifted her book for him to see. “I’m in great company.”
