“I told you she wouldn’t run. You really should have more faith in your partner.” The beautiful creature spoke causing me to jump. I looked around wondering who she was speaking to. I had determined it was a female.
Just then I heard a second creature’s wings pushing air above my head. The wind was so strong it caused me to hunch down slightly. My body tensed to prevent myself from falling over. I wanted to look at the creature, but the wings continued to push me downward.
“Stop forcing the poor child down like that.” The blue dragon spoke again. I could see the hints of silver glisten in the dim moonlight.
“Humans should not know of our existence.” The angry voice came from above me.
I pushed myself into a standing position once again. If it was a dream, I would control it. If this was real, I was not going to be pushed around. The second dragon landed not far from the first. His
It was a beautiful summer night. The moon was full, providing plenty of light for my midnight walk. I had been working on a project and at the moment… I was stuck. The warm breeze blew through the air causing my long brown hair to lift, my wavy curls bouncing slightly. I took a deep breath in trying to relax my mind and unblock myself. I approached a path into the woods. I paused before emerging myself onto the trail. The last year had been hard. My boyfriend, Anthony, was killed 15 months ago. We had dated for 5 years and just gotten engaged. To say I was a mess would be an understatement. I allowed my entire life to fall apart. I resigned from the marketing firm I had been working for since college. I sold my house and almost everything inside before moving in
I jumped at the sound of the voice hitting my head on the rock above me. I could feel the blood instantly begin to glide down my forehead. I was standing with my face to the stranger and my knife up in less than 2 seconds. Hearing him chuckle sent a wave of fury through my body. “What is your problem?” I spat at him defensively. It seemed to catch him off guard. He cleared his throat and his threatening tone returned. “I belong here, the question is what are you doing here? How did you even get in?” He said looking me over clearly seeing my injury, now injuries. It was difficult for me to see in the low light. The tunnel only provided a small orb that was mostly shining on his legs. Which
I hadn’t been on a date since Anthony. I wanted to see the other side of that tunnel more than anything. It felt like it was going to change my life forever and I was ready. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to date anyone, no matter the reward. I didn’t know this man. All I knew was he followed me into a dark cave and after causing me to injure myself he at least helped. Why would he do that just to hurt me in the end? The thought of dating anyone after Anthony wasn’t something I thought about often. I missed the intimacy and the sex. Man did I miss the sex. With his deployments over the course of our relationship I was used to going long periods of time with just myself. This was different, there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I had an embarrassingly large box of toys that had kept me happy over the years. I would have to do it at some point. I thought to myself. How bad can it be to just suffer through a dinner with the man to see wh
We walked mostly in silence. Tadeas seemed to have a strange energy rolling off his body. I was lost in my thoughts trying to figure him out. Every now and then my eyes would drift over to him as if he wasn’t really there. “I am just up the road. I can make it from here. Thanks.” I said quickly picking up my pace again. “I don’t mind going the rest of the way.” He responded sounding somewhat offended. “I see. You prefer your own company to others.” His voice turned condescending. “No, I don’t know you. And nothing that has happened so far says I should get to know you.” I shifted my weight as my ankle throbbed. “Do you believe in Magic?” He asked will only 4 houses left to pass. “Like flying brooms and people turning into frogs?” I scrunched my nose. “Things you cannot explain. Old myths and stories about beautiful creatures and witches.” “I don’t know about all that.” I muse
I was lost in his eyes again; the specks of gold seemed to be swirling around. My mind must be slipping into sleep already. His arms wrapped around my body. The embrace took all my pain away. It was as if I was exactly where I needed to be. “Tadeas…” I said just above a whisper. “Aries.” He said in a low seductive voice that was new. I tilted my head all the way back so I could see his face once more. He placed his hand on my cheek, bending his neck, his nose lined with my own. My breath hitched and I wasn’t sure what to do. Is he about to kiss me again? I thought to myself. No way. “You need your rest.” His breath smelt like honey. I no longer wanted rest, I wanted to kiss him. I didn’t move, I had forgotten to breath. He dipped his head closer pressing his lips to mine. His grip around me tightened causing my muscles to sing with approval. His tongue passing my lips, allowing me to explore the taste
I thought the greenery was beautiful before. This had looked untouched by the pollution and destruction of men. There was a waterfall so large I was amazed it sat so peacefully. The flowers were all such radiant colors, I couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried. “It’s beautiful!” I yelled over the motorcycle’s hum. We parked not too far from the trail. Tadeas asked me simple questions here and there as we walked down the path. I asked a few times what was in the bag he carried, while he refused to answer. He would just chuckle and say “patience”. We reached the bottom of the falls, approaching the wall that seemed to reach into the sky, leaving the earth. He looked over at me with a sly grin before looking up the wall. “What’s that look for? I don’t know you that well. I know I do not like that look.” I said trying to keep myself from laughing. “We are going to climb. Do you think you can manage?” His voice teasing me
I didn’t mind, the feeling of his body on mine was intoxicating. I reached my hands towards the opening of his shirt pulling it off his shoulders. I could sense his apprehension as he leaned back slightly, not breaking contact with my lips. “Take it off.” I managed to say into the kiss. A low growl came from his chest. Something inside my body told me it was okay. I wanted him to make the noise again. I could feel his member pushing on my thigh through the jeans. He lifted me up slightly removing my shirt. His eyes widened as he saw the scar covering from my shoulder to the bottom of my ribs. I had forgotten about it in the moment. I could sense his anger rolling off him as he focused on the imperfections of my body. He leaned in and kissed me passionately. I felt his bare chest press against mine as my body gushed, soaking my panties. A deep groan came from his chest as if he knew exactly what he was doing to me. “I am serious. We need to sto
The car arrived for Bethany and me shortly after I walked into her house. Rob was sitting in the recliner, box of tissues in one hand tea in another. He did not look like he was feeling well at all. “Thank you for saving me. She would never let me live it down if she went alone. Sick or not.” He said with a cough. I took a step backwards before covering my hand over my mouth. “No problem, I’ll just wait on the porch, no need to spread that further.” “So dramatic…” Bethany said before placing a kiss on Rob’s head. “Feel better, I shouldn’t be too late.” We slid into the backseat of the car while Bethany was doing so
