LOGINHe was a caged dragon burning with a fire for pleasure. She was sent to tame him— but she played his fire like a song. Elaina walked into the dungeon with a harp, a plan, and no intention of surrender. Drake expected another temptress. What he got was a challenge wrapped in silk and steel. "Touch me again like that," he growled, "and I won't stop until you're mine—in every form." What happens when a dragon and a human join forces—not just to conquer their enemies, but to survive the storm between and within them? Warning: This tale is not for the faint of heart. It’s raw, it’s explicit, and it’s dripping with heat. Are you over eighteen? Are you ready to step into the fire and face what these chapters hold? Then click—if you dare.
View MoreMore than twelve hours after the ship had sailed away, it began slowing down.“We’re close,” Sachin murmured, already alert.Elaina pushed herself upright, stretching stiff limbs as the vessel slowed. She had tried to get some shut eye but she was too anxious about the old forest.Soon the concealed panel was opened and Drake climbed out first, scanning the shoreline before helping Elaina and Sachin up.Truly there was no border checkpoint and no warriors waiting with suspicion.“From here,” the captain muttered to Sachin, “you’re on your own.”Sachin nodded with a grateful smile, “Thank you.”The captain looked briefly at Elaina and Drake, as if measuring whether they were worth the trouble, then turned away without another word.The ship pushed back into the water, leaving the trio alone on the dim shore.They did not waste time, they followed a narrow path toward a small trading town Sachin claimed would not ask questions if paid well.And he was right.The town was quiet, its mark
They were soon nearing the forest and Drake was the first to break the silence.“No,” he said firmly.Elaina looked at him. “No?”“We are not riding into a forest full of rogues.” he had originally agreed but after going over the dangers, he was beginning to have second thoughts.They all slowed down their horses slightly so they could listen.Drake’s jaw was set. “Rogues are not disorganized thieves. Some of them are former soldiers. Some are dragon blood are even dragon with pent up resentment. Some are mercenaries with nothing to lose. If we venture into a forest filled with them, we don’t stand a chance if they decide we’re worth something.”Elaina nodded slowly. “He’s right. If even half the rumors are true, that forest swallows people.” she had also been having second thoughts.Drake exhaled sharply, surprised she agreed.She continued, “Maybe this is a sign. Maybe we should stop forcing this. We could return to Havenwood, strengthen our position, clear our names first...”“No.”
Morning soon came and Elaina woke up to the sound of chirping birds and rattling trees. For a brief second, she forgot where they were. Then she saw the dying embers of the fire, Drake already awake and alert near the edge of the clearing, and Sachin curled beneath his cloak a few feet away.It was time to continue from where they left off so they woke him up. He got ready almost instantly. They packed quickly, there was no unnecessary noise so it was the perfect time. Drake erased obvious traces of their camp while Sachin watched with quiet approval.By the time the sun cleared the treetops, they were mounted and moving.This time, Sachin rode a little ahead, directing their path.Elaina and Drake followed behind him, exchanging occasional glances. They felt a little uneasy but they had no better alternative. Without him, they would be gambling blindly with patrol routes.Still, trust did not come easily.“You said yesterday that two routes ahead are compromised,” Drake called forw
Soon the sun began to set, Drake slowed his horse and surveyed the area carefully. He had been searching quietly for a hidden place to rest for the night and he finally found one.“We should stop here,” he said at last.Elaina nodded in agreement. The day had been longer than she anticipated. Riding through unfamiliar terrain while constantly scanning for movement in the distance drained more than just physical strength, it wore on the mind. Sachin slid down from his horse without complaint. Despite his age, he showed no sign of exhaustion. Instead, he studied the clearing as if evaluating it.“This is good,” he said quietly. “The ground dips slightly to the north. If anyone approaches from that direction, we’ll hear them before we see them.”Drake raised an eyebrow. “You’ve camped in worse places?”Sachin gave a faint shrug. “Much worse.”They worked quickly. Drake tied the horses where they would be partially concealed by brush but still within reach. Elaina gathered fallen branche
