The woman that looked like Lisa giggled like a school girl. The prissy heiress wouldn’t laugh like that. Then she locked lips with the guy. She wouldn’t kiss like that. Then again, she wouldn’t have the wild sex she’d heard her having with the other guy either. Maybe it was Lisa. The lady who looked like Lisa had her hands all over the guy.

“No way. It can’t be.” She huffed. That woman was far too happy, too carefree to be the uptight heiress.

Pauline stepped forward. “It’s her alright. She’s all in. Her and that shifter are already mated.”

“What?” Julie said, a bit too loud. She slapped a hand over her mouth. “That’s nuts. She’s known him all of a week.”

“They took the plunge two days ago, so yeah… it didn’t even take a week but I guess when you know you know… right?” She chewed on her lower lip.

Julie shook her head. “No. There is such a thing as crazy hormones. Once she gets to know him, really gets to know him, she might change her mind. There’ll be no more hormones and what then? There might be a few baby dragons running around and then it’ll be too late, won’t it?” The woman was totally crazy.

Flame shoved from one foot to the other. He didn’t look comfortable. Not at all. “Um…” he looked at the door. “There’s somewhere I need to be. I’ll see you back at our chamber.” He looked deep into Pauline’s eyes. Oh boy! It looked like these two were head over heels. More of those crazy hormones. It was just the sex and the cuddling, oh and the handholding. Such things did strange things to people. It wasn’t real and it wouldn’t last.

“Yeah.” Pauline reached up and kissed him. The shifter picked her up off of her feet and kissed her some more before putting her back down. The kissing didn’t stop though.

Argh!

Where to look. Where to look. Lisa was kissing her mate’s face right off of his head. Mate. Nuts! The big guy stood up with the heiress wrapped around him. Lisa looked like she was climbing a pole. If poles were thick and made of muscle. “She’s in heat.” Pauline whispered. She’d obviously come up for air while Julie was gaping at the spectacle.

“What did you say?” Julie blurted.

“It makes shifters just a little gaga.” She twirled her fingers around her temple. She made a humming noise. “Yeah, they’re driven to procreate.” She winked at Flame who blushed. Such a big guy blushing.

Flame smiled. “Good-bye, Julie. I really hope you give Coal a chance. I’m sure I’ll see you around.” He nodded once.

Julie nodded too. She didn’t say anything.
