Post Credit Action
As the movie draws to a close, I glance at Max. He seems to be enthralled by the whole thing, even though he has someone even more amazing right next to him. He is a complete wonder to me. How can someone want to date me, but not do anything with me?
My staring catches his attention, and he narrows his gaze at me. “What?” He asks, somewhat standoffish.
“I was just admiring your face,” I tease. I’m not about to let him know what is on my mind or else he might complain about my one-track mind.
Max’s face flushes as he turns to look back at the ending credits of the movie. “You’re nothing like those dragons,” he then mumbles.
My grin grows. “Is that an insult or a compliment?” I ask playfully. “Of course, I am not like those dragons. I’m real, they’re imagined,” I tell him, leaning in closer to Max. At first, he leans back, trying to avoid me, but soon enough, his back

The moment I am no longer laying on top of Max, he suddenly becomes overly conscious of his lack of a top. He rests his hands on his chest, trying to hide it from me. It’s a little strange, but perhaps he has a lack of confidence? Is that why he keeps stopping me?If this is the reason, then I might encourage him to realise he has nothing to be shy about. With this in mind, I lean over and use one hand to lower his, while my other hand cups his cheek. He looks at me in surprise but doesn’t prevent me from doing so.“Max, you don’t have to hide your body from me. Whatever reason you think you have, trust me when I say this; you are sexy. Just because you wished for this doesn’t mean my actions are only because of what I originally came here to do,” I tell him. My words kept soft so he might know how genuine I am being.The way he blushes tells me I might have hit the mark on my guess. I’m not lying, exactly. I do still wa
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Coming or Going
A few days have passed now, and I am still nowhere near figuring Max out. He has avoided any attempt I have made to get close, and no matter how much I try to talk to him about his avoiding me, he just tells me it is nothing and to stop worrying about it.How can I not worry!? He says he wants to date me, but he doesn’t want to do anything more than a kiss, and even then he gives me the cold shoulder soon after. For a God, I am wondering if I am just not adequate enough for mortals? Do they have such high standards now that I am not good enough for them?All this self-inflicted torture has me going in circles in my mind and after a brief scolding by Max for once more thinking ‘only of sex’, I can’t help but get annoyed with him.“Do you even want to be my lover, Max!?” I ask him bluntly. I’m already regretting this argument of mine, but if we don’t talk this out, I am going to have blueballs for the entire year!
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Night on the Town
Finally, getting out of the house and not just shopping has me excited about what I might do or find out here. It has been too long since I have had time to just spend time to myself and although I have lived for so long, it doesn't mean I have spent any of that time pretending to be human.As soon as the two of us had gotten into more casual clothes that Max found agreeable, we were finally outside and he took me to some bars that were close to his apartment.“Be on your best behaviour!” Max warned me for the tenth time. “No magic, transformations, nothing strange!”“I know! I know,” I respond, holding up my hands innocently. “Nothing I will do will be something humans themselves cannot do. I swear on my pride as a dragon!”With a sigh, Max gives up lecturing me and instead says, “no being jealous of my friends either. You absolutely must be kind to them.”“I’ll be kind,&rdquo
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Hafgan Hints
I could sense Hafgan’s soul close by on the way home from the night out. I was sure of it, but where he was or if he was going to try to possess Max, I wasn’t certain. So far, it seemed to avoid getting close enough to him for me to get an expert judge of his plans.I could only assume Hafgan was too afraid to get close to Max at all, and that meant he knew who I was and what I was there for. What he would do now that he knew I was there, I wasn’t sure, but this avoidance of me was not mistaken for anything else.Max caught up to me and placed his hand on my arm. “Arwen? What are you doing?” He asked. He had a tipsy smile on his face from the drinking he had partaken in.“I was…” I paused. Could he not see Hafgan’s soul? I shook my head. “The soul I am after is near, but it fled when it saw me,” I told him. The way he looks up at me, all doe-eyed and sleepy. He looks so cute that I want to just e
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Museum Visit
For the next few days, Max has work, which does not settle my nerves. Now that Hafgan has shown his ugly soul-face, I cannot leave Max alone for fear he might get possessed. I try to stay out of his way of work as a whole, but I keep myself within reachable distance.I hope he doesn’t notice me. He might get upset with me for following him to work, and he has been adamant from the start for me to never do that. I don’t want to upset him now, after getting this far with him. Not that it feels like we’re a couple yet, but baby steps.For the first hour, I sense nothing irregular, so I spend most of my time outside in the gardens close by, but it doesn’t take much longer than that for Hafgan’s soul to show up. I quickly make my way inside and corner Hafgan in the sea area.“You must fight me!” I tell him, not paying much attention to the rare guest in the area. Hafgan makes no response to me, just shimmers.That is w
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride In the Dog House
Before I land the blow, I force myself to avoid hitting Max by twisting my body. Hafgan was right about one thing and that was I did not wish to bring harm upon Max, no matter the cost. I gasp as I hit my hand against the closest thing that wasn’t Max; a lamppost. Had I been a human, that would have been far more painful.“W-what are you thinking!?” Max asks in an accusatory tone. “I scold you, so now you want to hit me?!”I look right at him and frown. “You don’t know, do you?” I ask, and it is clear from his expression that Max does not know Hafgan has possessed him. Or at the very least, he does not know what happens when Hafgan is the one in control.“Know what!?” Max demands, his glare cutting me down into pieces as easily as any sword. The worst thing about all of this is that he wouldn’t believe me, even if I told him the truth.I grit my teeth and close my eyes, trying to calm mysel
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Fight Me
The night alone felt long compared to the previous night when I had slept next to Max. I woke up feeling disoriented and unimpressed with how much one night with the man had changed me somehow. Whatever the reason, my body yearned to be next to his.I stepped into the living room, where Max was already up and about. Or I assumed it was him. I couldn’t be completely sure, as there was no way to distinguish the two of them. I just had to take my chances.“Are you still mad at me?” I questioned who I hoped was Max.As soon as he turned to look at me, I let out a sigh before lowering my head an inch and growling. It was Hafgan, and he was smirking at me widely as if to mock me.“I was correct in my assessment,” Hafgan smugly claimed as he spread his hands out wide in a dramatic pose. “You won’t hurt this body for fear of upsetting the host. It really is the perfect body for me
Under the Crimson Moon: A Dragon's Pride Wanting More
Watching Max eat, I stay silent. He has been so pissed off with me, but there honestly isn’t anything I can do about this. He will not fight me, and nor does he believe me that Hafgan possessed him. I’m not sure what else I can do.“You’re hiding things,” Max mutters after finishing the last mouthful. “Just spit it out.”I offer a wry smile. “Nothing so worrisome,” I tried to assure him. The look Max gives me does not tell me he believes me. “You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you,” I add, but that glare does not fade. I sigh and collect the dishes and mutter, “if you battled me, everything would fix itself… but you’re too stubborn, so can we drop it?”“You’re the stubborn one!” Max raises his voice at me. “That’s all you want! Fighting and sex! Don’t you dragons ever think of anything else!?”I blink at him and then look up in exasperation. Of course, we think of things outside of those two. There is just not much I can talk about that Max would understand or care about. Still, I
