I was wondering if I could bring a pizza around seven,Luke replied.
Sounds great.
Luke still appreciated the fact that Jamie wasn’t one to send a million texts. They both said what was on their mind and that was the end of the conversation.
“Why don’t you come home and have dinner with your mother and me tonight?” Carl asked.
Luke wasn’t sure if it was to lecture him more or if the invitation was a peace offering, but either way, he didn’t have the energy for it, even if he hadn’t just made plans with Jamie.
“Sorry, I can’t. I have plans.”
“With the bear shifter?” Carl asked derisively.
Luke stared hard into his father’s eyes and said, “Yes, as a matter of fact, it is with the bear shifter.”
He waited for his father to dare say another word about the situation. It took a lot to get Luke angry, but he was at the tipping point.
Carl seemed to realize it and simply walked away.
Luke was on Jamie’s doorstep right at seven, with a large supreme pizza and six pack of beer.
She opened the door with a smile and said, “Man brings gifts. I like.”
Laughing, he stepped inside.
At first, they just talked about their day. Luke wasn’t exactly sure how to bring up the topic, so he decided to just be blunt.”
“My father told me something interesting today. He said that he knew your father and that your parents were bear shifters.”
Jamie’s head turned sharply toward him. She hesitated for a minute and he could tell that she was trying to figure out how to answer him. He hoped that she trusted him enough to tell him the truth.
“Yes. They were bear shifters and so am I. But you can’t tell anyone else in Ivy Springs. It’s too dangerous. There are people in this town who hate shifters and would kill me if they found out that I was one,” she said. “But I am glad that you know. I’ve been trying to figure out how to tell you.”
Luke smiled at her and reached for her hand. “You don’t have to worry about me saying anything to anyone. As a matter of fact, I’ve been trying to figure out how to tell you that I’m a dragon shifter.”
Jamie’s eyes were saucers and her jaw dropped. Her head tipped to one side and she touched her mouth with her hand.
“You are a dragon shifter,” she said, slowly, in disbelief.
“Yes. Why is that so hard to believe?” I asked, chuckling at her response. “Do you want me to shift in your living room to prove it?”
“Nooo,” she said, drawing out the word.
“But I’ve always heard that dragon shifters keep to themselves, and that they would never date outside of their own kind. Dragon shifters are top of the food chain, keep to themselves, and look down on everyone else around them.”
“I think I’m offended,” Luke said, laughing. “I guess that is the impression that a lot of people have. There are dragon shifters, like my dad, who are like that.”
“Is it okay for a dragon shifter and a bear shifter to be in a relationship?” she asked.
“I’m okay with it. Are you okay with it?” he asked.
She nodded.
“Then who cares what the rest of the world thinks?”
Jamie grinned at him, and he couldn’t resist pulling her close to him and kissing her, gently, at first, and then more insistently. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close to her.
In an instant, their clothes disappeared. Luke looked deep into her eyes as he reached between her legs. She was hot and wet, ready for him.
