that he had it, she didn’t want to pull it away.
Giving in to her strange desires, she rolled her hand over and
laced her fingers together with his. “I’ll help you get through
this,” she promised. She couldn’t very well leave him as he
was.
    The dragon man drew in a deep breath and let
it rush out from him, then squeezed her hand. “Thank you.” Rolling
his head over, he stared at her. “For everything.”
    There it was again. That odd wash of desire
passed through her again.
    Terra stole a quick glance at him. His eyes
were just as beautiful now as they had been as a dragon. She would
have loved to look at them longer, but she had to pay attention to
the road. Later. She would find a time later to really study
them. Then maybe she could figure out what to call that amazing mix
of colors. Hazel just didn’t cut it.
    Unsure of how to respond to him or to the
feelings swirling through her, she simply drove on as he held and
caressed her hand. When the silence got too intimate for her, she
gave him another quick glance. The look in his eyes heated her
insides more than anything her last three boyfriends had done. And that was just a look.
    Clearing her throat, she broke into the
silence with the first thing that popped into her head. “So… What
type of clothing do you want?” Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Of
all the dumb things she could have picked to break the silence
with, she had to pick the one thing that reminded them both that he
was naked. She glanced back over at him. A grin had slid across his
face.
    “At this moment, anything would be better
than what I’m wearing,” he teased.
    With a quick turn of the head, she shot him
a dirty look. “Are you dissing my handmade quilt?” she sassed
back.
    “I would never dream of it.”
    The fake innocent tone he took made Terra
laugh.
    “But seriously, jeans and a T-shirt will be
fine. And I promise, as soon as I find out who I am, I will pay you back.”
    Another laugh bubbled out of her. “I’m not
worried about it.” She gave him another glance. “So…” She bit her
lip and jumped into the question now pulling at her mind. To
hell with caution and propriety. “Boxers or briefs?”
    He chuckled. “I don’t remember,” he said and
gave her an amused smile. “Why don’t you pick, and we’ll see how it
goes.” His smile took on a naughty edge. “Of course, if I don’t
like them, I could always go without.”
    The blush that had been hinting at Terra’s
cheeks flamed into life. Oh good Lord! Even if the man
couldn’t remember anything else, he certainly remembered how to
flirt.
    Luckily, they didn’t have much farther to go
until they reached the store. She hated to do it, but she pulled
her hand from his so she could turn into the parking lot. Picking a
spot away from the building, she pulled in and killed the engine.
At least he would have a little bit of privacy while she went
inside. Biting her lip, she turned to look at her dragon man. There
were so many ways she could respond to his suggestion, but all of
them were inappropriate and would likely get her into more trouble
than she was already in. And she was already in trouble. Deep. But
then again, an inappropriate response could make for a very
entertaining evening. It was, after all, starting to get late. She
chewed on the idea for a moment longer before deciding. No. She knew nothing of this man. He could have a girlfriend, or worse,
a wife. It was best to keep everything on a more professional
level.
    “Wait here. I’ll be right back.” With that,
Terra slid from the car and escaped to the safety of the store. For
all she knew, he could be trouble just looking for a place to
happen.

    Alex let out a long sigh as he watched Terra
head into the store. Somehow, he knew it wasn’t like him to flirt,
but she made it so easy. Leaning his head back against the seat, he
closed his eyes and thought about her. The softness of her skin
against his. The flash of those blue eyes as
