	I’m enjoying the kiss, even though it’s brief, when they bite my lower lip before pulling away. My eyes shift automatically to that of a dragon’s. It takes all my willpower to keep the wings from showing themselves. I clear my throat and smooth down my shirt and jacket to compose myself. I turn and head for the door, calming down enough to shift my eyes back.

	[color=#006400]”You are playing a dangerous game, [i]mein kleiner Kobold[/i]. I’ll be sure to come find you after my guests have left.”[/color] I don’t dare look back at them before I leave my room.

	On the other side of the door, I release all my breath and run a hand over my hair. I curse in a few different languages as I force myself to walk away. Thankfully, every room in this house is soundproof, so Nero can’t hear me positively lose my shit. Normally I was the one to play little games, not the other way around. What exactly was I getting myself into with this one, I wondered.

	We turn on to Caden’s drive when Nic poses his apology for prying. I look out the window for a moment longer before turning my head to look at Nic. [color=#DB7093]”I’ll keep that in mind,”[/color] I say. There’s no point in asking now. I’ll wait for the trip home, or for a different day. 

	Avery drives us up to the front door and parks. Before I can get out, he has the door open for me. I smile up at him and thank him before walking around the car to stand on the front step.

	The front door opens, and Caden stands there. [color=#006400]”Welcome,”[/color] he greets. He smiles, but I can see tension crinkling his eyes. I raise an eyebrow, but he closes his eyes and shakes his head slightly before looking and smiling at Nic.
