While filming a playful video Everleigh kisses her Naga best friend, secretly hoping it might be the spark to shift them out of the friend zone. She's hoping for a cute moment, or perhaps some playful teasing. She doesn't expect Asa to take that kiss and deepen it. Moments later, they're tangled on the couch, discovering what it really means to go from friends to lovers. Asa has always kept his feelings for Everleigh buried deep. But when she finally makes a move, the predator in him stirs. One taste is all it takes; now he's ready to claim what he's wanted all along.

Excerpt: Before I could get cold feet, I moved closer and kissed him. A startled, guttural sound escaped him. His thin lips opened in surprise as his whole body froze. Shit. That was not the reaction I had hoped for or had watched in the videos. I fucked up. I pulled back, scared I'd ruined a decade of friendship, but didn't get far. A hand snaked around my neck, and with a rough move, our lips met again. This time, Asa took charge, and there was nothing I could do but undergo the movement of his thin lips against mine. A moan bubbled up in my throat, the sounds swallowed up by his eager lips on mine. His tongues licked against my mouth, begging me to open up and let him inside. I never imagined this would happen, but there was no way I would forgive myself if I didn't let him in. With a soft moan, I opened my lips, letting both his tongues delve inside. I've never been with a Naga, but I knew he had two members and tongues, and I imagined what kind of delicious things he could do with them. A shiver of desire washed over me, making him pull me closer against him. Before I knew it, I straddled his thick tail as close to him as possible. Asa broke the kiss to catch a breath as he looked at me with fire burning in his slitted eyes. "I've wanted to do this since I met you, but are you sure, Everleigh?" I nodded, afraid I would sound too needy if I opened my mouth. We've been friends for ages, but somehow one of us has always been in a relationship. This was the first time we were both single, and this was why I took my chance and kissed him. I would never forgive myself if I didn't try to get more of him. The silly little video was just an excuse to go after what I wanted.
