The same color as the metallic sparkle in his eyes, she imagined. “Can you do it now?”
Oh, crap. When shifters transformed, their clothes fell off.
She’d just asked him to get naked.
Math glanced at the high ceiling and walls of the large room. “I wouldn’t fit.”
Oh, he was abigdragon, which made sense. Math was really tall, well over six feet, maybe six-feet-six or so.
He probably had a thirty-six-inch inseam, or longer.
His dragon must be—proportional.
That sounded dirty.
“Wow, that must be something to see.” Her voice sounded breathless, like she was preoccupied with something so much that breathing wasn’t all that important.
Because she was thinking about him naked again.
Math patted the bed beside him. “If we’re going to keep talking, you might as well make yourself comfortable.”
Bethany stepped toward the bed before she figured out he must be kidding her. “Oh, geez. I just don’t get any jokes, do I? Should I finish working on the other suites up here in the penthouse?”
Math’s hand lay on the crisp sheet where he had been patting the mattress, inviting her into his bed. “I have meetings with the accounting department to audit their books. The first one starts in fifteen minutes. It’s going to take days. They were set up last week before I arrived, due to the irregularities. Will you be okay on your own?”
“Of course, Mr. Draco. You don’t have to babysit me. You can see that I’m doing quite well, and I’m even ahead of schedule.” Bethany almost sounded confident instead of surprised. Ember would have been proud of her.
“Call me Math,” he said, still watching her from the bed. “Mr. Draco sounds like I’m a hundred and ten.”
“Math, then. You don’t have to babysit me, Math.”
“Excellent, Ms. Aura.”
She smiled at him, turning her head a little. It was cute that he was still being formal until she told him otherwise. “Call me Bethany. I assume the cleaning has met your expectations?”
“It has exceeded my expectations in every way.” He slid his legs off the bed and stood, stretching his arms above his head. His fingertips almost brushed the ceiling, it seemed to Bethany, even though the ceilings were fourteen feet high.
Yes, Math was really tall, and he probably had a really big dragon, too.
He walked over to her, extracting a card from his wallet and holding it out to her. His gold and hazel eyes twinkled as he smiled. “This master key will open all the doors in the entire casino. Use your power wisely.”
Bethany laughed and took the skeleton keycard from him.
Her fingertips brushed his warm ones, and a wave of shivering power trickled over her skin.
His eyes grew brighter, turning a pale caramel shot through with gold lightning.
Everyone whispered that dragons were great in bed andwhy.Maybe they did have some sort of sexual magic, and that’s what the zing was that she was feeling down her arms and between her legs whenever she touched him. Maybe that’s why dragons kept to themselves, because right then, if Math had patted that bed again, she would have flopped on the mattress on her back with her arms and legs spread.
She whispered, “Okay, thanks. I’ll get started on the other suites.”
Math cleared his throat and growled, “I’ll see you later.”
“Okay. Sure. Looking forward to it.”
Math walked out, leaving her in the room where he was going to be naked and sleeping later on that night.
And now she was holding a key to all the doors in the casino, including this room.
