“That’s just it,” Nette insisted. “I was on break when I saw the demon in question. I rushed back to warn Trei, but it was too late … I am so sorry.”
“We’ll be telling Portia about this,” he said.
“To what end?” Kaia shrugged. “Nette is clearly upset, and no harm to a human who can die was actually done. Thanks to Portia, apparently, you saved me. This is what happens when people focus on revenge instead of moving on. The imps are doing the same thing to the demon that you did.”
Grey pursed his lips. Shit. She was right. Did that make him as bad as Jorge and Richard? He sure fucking hoped not. That wasn’t the kind of dragon he wanted to be, but Kaia had a point. “Fair enough. So long as the imp apologizes and the rest of the imps leave the demon alone, we’re good. We can’t have rogue imps putting guests in danger.”
“You got it. I’ll spread the word,” Nette assured him. “I’m so sorry. Again, that really isn’t how this place is run. The imps are very odd, and they sometimes develop loyalty to people. They’re loyal to Lou, Portia, and Una. They’ll do anything those three ask. Please, see Portia about this. I will definitely warn her that the imps went too far this time.”
It was an interesting trio to be loyal to, given that Lou, Portia, and Una were at the very center of the resort, but Grey would think about that later when the woman he was starting to fall for hadn’t just nearly fallen not in love with him but to her death.
“Have someone bring me a robe, will you? We’ll hang here for a while.”
Nette nodded and was quick to make her escape. Once they were alone, Grey took Kaia in his arms again.
“Nothing like seeing you fall to your death to realize that I don’t want us to be a holiday fling.”
She pulled away from his embrace to look into his eyes. “What?” she gasped.
“Coming in a little hot again, aren’t I?”
“Yeah. I mean, no. No, it’s fine. I like it. No. I don’t like it. I mean …” She huffed. “I don’t know what I mean. I’m flattered that you think of me like that because I was thinking the same thing earlier.”
“You were?”
“I was,” she admitted. “Now I’m the one who’s coming in hot.”
“Not at all. I love it. Say it again.”
“What? That I was thinking I don’t want us to be a holiday fling?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, there we have it. We both don’t want this to end when we leave the resort.”
“That might be hard,” she whispered. “I don’t know what state you live in.”
“You assume I’m from the U.S.?”
She grinned. “A man obsessed with being CEO? Yeah. A safe bet.”
He threw his head back with a laugh. “Good one.” She blushed, and he guessed she didn’t know if he would like her joke. “Obsessed, am I?”
“You give off a bossy vibe, that’s for sure.” She trailed her fingers up and down his chest. “Thanks for saving me, Greyson Verlice.”
He wanted to tell her she was the one who saved him. Not just him but his company and his back. Because of her, Grey knew what needed to be done.
He kissed Kaia, letting his hands climb up her shirt to her breasts. She arched into the touch with a moan. She closed her arms around his neck and returned the kiss with passion. His cock began to harden as she pressed into him with her whole body. She clung to him, lapping at his mouth just like he needed her to.
“We need to stop,” he whispered.
“No.”
“An imp is on his way with a robe. We will definitely be caught if we do this right now. I don’t want to chance it. And I won’t have sex with you again until we have gone on an official date.”
“What? Why? We already established that we’re basically dating.”
“Look right there!” he pointed behind her shoulder, and coming right at them was an imp holding a silver tray on which sat a white terrycloth robe.
