Harmless Flirting Novels & Stories

"For dancing with me, Zephyr? You beat someone to a pulp for dancing with me while you were doing worse?" He inclined his head. "You weren't just dancing, you were flirting." "Flirting," I repeated, my voice rising. "Harmless comments, that's all they were. Not like you!" His brows furrowed in mild confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?"

I take a shaky breath and I actually risk it. Though it's one tiny glance over my shoulder. Yep. He's definitely staring. Our eyes meet for a second, and I turn back around.

"So why ignore it? Am I not your type? Too forward? Too ginger?" "You're very..." He seems to search for the right word. "Distracting." "Distracting is good though, right?

"Do you flirt when you're not working?" "That's..." He stops. Looks at me like he's not sure what to do with me. "That's none of your business."
