I have to admit though, the last half hour has been... not awful. Definitely interesting. Maybe even I dare say—fun.
If this is what fun has come to—me conversing with a man I have no business talking to—then maybe Nikki is right. Maybe I do need a one-night stand.
Yeah... no.
“Well”—his palm tickles my knee sending shivers up and down my leg—“she can’t run off with you yet. She promised me a dance.” His head rolls toward me. “Didn’t you, detective?” A slow smile forms on his face like he’s won something.
He doesn’t look like the type that dances, so I’ll play his game.
“Yes, I did!” He raises an eyebrow at my mock-enthusiasm. Placing my hand over his, I squeeze as hard as I can while I gaze up at Nikki. “I’ll be a little longer. I’ll come find you when I finish spending time with the big bad wolf here.”
“Oh, baby,” he laughs. “I’m not a piss-ant little wolf.” Leaning over, his lips brushes against my ear. “I’m the fire-breathing dragon in this story.” His voice is meant to scare me. But the seduction laced in his tone only scorches my insides.
In an attempt to make sure he doesn’t know how he affects me, I roll my eyes at his lame comeback.
“Yeah... I’ll leave you guys to that.” Nikki turns, leaving us alone again.
“So, I promised you a dance.” I turn my head, facing him. I can’t help but glance down at those full lips that grace his mouth. “Let’s go, dragon man.”
CHAPTER SEVEN
What in the hell?
I crack my eyes open to see what’s furiously moving next to me. A dog; a male dog from what I can plainly see with his genitalia on full display, lying on his back, legs spread.
Male dog junk is not what I wanted to see this early.
He’s twisting, turning, flopping around all over the bed like something is wrong with him.
Gathering the black sheet, I tighten it around my chest as I rise up onto my elbows and watch him play. It’s comical. But then he stops and tilts his head back, making himself appear to be smiling at me.
It makes me smile... for a full second. Then with lightning speed, he’s on all fours and suddenly in my face licking and sniffing me.
“Whoa.”
I pull back. He advances, stepping on my forearm. I have no choice. I fall to the mattress on my back, then twist in the opposite direction, while tossing the covers off and quickly scramble out of the bed.
Turning, I see him standing at the edge of the bed, wagging his tail. He then makes a sound as if trying to speak. It’s not a bark, but maybe could be described as a whine, bark, and growl all in one. Weird. Definitely weird.
Throbbing in my head starts to form and spread, making me groan. It’s then that I look around the rest of the room and memories of last night start to come back.
Drago.
The club.
Dancing.
How he smelled.
How he felt.
Shit. I came home with him. That much is obvious. And I must be in his bedroom now.
Looking down, I’m naked.
Why... why did I order Whiskey? Whiskey leads me to do stupid shit, case in point, having sex with a man I don’t know. A man I’m investigating for a crime. For the probability of importing illegal drugs into the United States. Something I’m against. Something I work hard at stopping on a daily basis.
I’ll berate myself later.
