AHH! I just finished Amy Padilla's prequel for her Dallying with Demons series: "Welcoming a Demon," and I'm over here giggling and grinning like a maniac. This novella is available through her email subscription (and #BookFunnel).
["Graeham has one goal: get the humans to accept the integration and save his people. As a member of the council, he is one of the first to cross over to make his case to the United Nations General Assembly. He knows it will be a long, uphill battle. What he didn't expect was the chaotic and sweet human who volunteered to be his guide for the duration of his stay in the human realm.
He doesn't need the distraction, but somehow the human keeps working past his defenses. What's a demon to do?
Quinton was always a little chaotic.
Scatterbrained is what his coworkers called him. It wasn't like he was bad at his job, clocks just weren't his friend.
When the US representative in the UN asked for volunteers to guide the new paranormals through their first visit to the human world, there was skepticism about whether Quinton could pull off the job. But he was determined to help the newcomers and support them in any way he could. He just never expected to fall in love along the way.
Oops?"]
This story takes place a few years before the rest of the series, pre-integration. Graeham and Quinton (along with others--but it sounds better just the two of them) were integral parts in making that happen, making the dallying crew happen, making all of those sweet as fuck mate pairings happen.
All the while falling in love themselves. It was a little fast, but it was true (and honestly, it was so real that it didn't seem all that fast).
It was just the right amount of spicy too. I would have loved for more, but it was honestly the perfect amount. Tons of fluff, lots of getting to know you, and one nice, long smutty scene that could have set off the fire alarms.
And Graeham's pet name for Quinton!!!!?????!!! (spoiler alert). Sunflower. SUNFLOWER!!! D: I'm done.
Trigger Warnings: species-ism/racism, one small moment with a gun (which doesn't go off), and more.
