Page 252 of His Flash Mate
Me:Who’s up for lunch?
Miranda:You sure your fire-breathing dragon will let you out of his sight?
Wrenly:It’s a bit soon…not that we don’t want to see you.
Me:I’ll check.
Konni looked up from his computer when I lightly knocked on the door.
“Do you have a minute?”I asked.
“For you?Always.”He turned his chair, fully focused on me.
Knowing my friends weren’t wrong, I decided to increase my chances for a little lunch freedom by closing the door.
Konni’s gaze intensified as I circled his desk and exploded with gold flecks when I cuddled in his lap and ran my fingers over his Adam’s apple.
“Does this mean the PDA ban has been lifted?”he asked, stroking my hip with one hand and my knee with the other.
“No.I’m breaking the rules.Should I stop?”
“Definitely not.You should break more rules.How do you feel about desk sex?”
I grinned.“Depends.On my back or on my stomach so I can watch the door?”
“You should have locked it,” he said before he kissed me hungrily.
It wasn’t a long kiss.He pulled back sooner than I would have liked, but I appreciated his restraint when I saw his pupils.
“I actually came in here because?—”
The door burst open.
Konni’s hold tightened, trapping me as my gaze flew to Lianna, who stopped short.Her eyes went wide at the sight of me on Konni’s lap.
Behind her, Edi said, “I couldn’t stop her.”
“It’s fine, Edi,” Konni said.
The shock in Lianna’s gaze faded a little at his words, and she almost looked triumphant.Why?Because Konni said her interruption was fine?
Smiling at her, I played with the hair at the back of his neck.
“Did you need something, Lianna?”I asked.
“I need to speak with Drake.Alone.”
“Hmm.”I glanced at Konni.“And do you want to speak to Lianna alone?”
He shook his head and leaned in to start kissing my neck, correctly reading the situation.
Watching her face flush with anger, I said, “As you can see, he’s busy attending to important matters.”
I saw the second her control snapped.Her pupils dilated, and scales flickered in and out of existence over her skin.
“You’re nothing,” she seethed.“A poor human rat with no connections and a mother who can’t even hold a job.You’re not worthy of his attention, your job here, or a place in his life.”
The press of my fingers on the back of Konni’s head was the only thing keeping him where he was.
