The sexy owner of Dragon's Bar has supernatural secrets of his own. As an outcast shapeshifter female who has chosen to live as a human male, Cal has found a home in Whisper. He knows Max is his soulmate but can these two unlikely partners learn to trust each other completely? The following excerpt from DRAGON'S BAR is for readers 18 and over. Max stood and slung her bag over her shoulder. She paused in front of the painting. "I like this." "Thanks. It's mine." Raising an eyebrow she turned to him. "You're talented." "I don't know about that, but painting helps me relax." He stood so close behind her that she felt the warmth of his body and the buzz of his sexual energy. She aroused him too. She sensed it. A moment later, he confirmed her suspicions by brushing her hair aside and whispering in her ear, "Why are you really here, Max?" She closed her eyes and leaned toward him. Cal's hand settled on her waist. Some women might be afraid of their big, leather-clad, soon-to-be boss making a move on them. Others might try to sue him for sexual harassment. Did he do this to all his staff members? Pressure them for sex? Is that why Amber had seemed so uneasy when she heard Cal had hired her? If that was the kind of game he played, then he deserved the consequences of messing with a woman whose pussy could literally pleasure him to death. "Like I said. I want a new start." She turned and faced him, moistening her lips. His hands settled on her waist, warming her. She slid her arms around his neck and cupped the back of his smooth head. He had a strong neck. She liked that. "Are you coming on to me?" she whispered against his lips. "If you want me to." "And if I say no am I fired before I start?" "Of course not." Whether she believed him or not no longer mattered. Her hunger flared. If she didn't fuck right now, she'd have to find someone else. Why look for another victim when this guy was obviously willing? "I've never seen a woman look this hot," he admitted, staring at her. "Your eyes are almost glowing. They look amazing." "I was thinking the same thing about you," she whispered, running her hands over his chest. His mouth covered hers in a passionate kiss. He tasted like mint, felt hot and hard and carried the scent of fresh, manly cologne. Max closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of his body against hers. She opened her mouth to his tongue and hers met it, matching him in hunger. When the kiss broke, she breathed, "Do you have condoms? Never mind. I've got 'em." She tugged away from him and unzipped her backpack. She removed a condom but didn't bother with lube. He turned her on so much that she was already soaked and ready for him. Even with her magical hunger, she usually took more time than this to warm up, but she'd never met anyone like Cal.
