In dragon families, tail-wrapping was only reserved for one’s mate. I did not know that. All I knew was that when my heater broke in winter, my best friend had left her four-year-old nephew at my place, whose body temperature was absurdly high. That night, I shamelessly coaxed him. “Be good. Can you stretch out your little tail and let me warm my feet with it?” He paused for a moment, then obediently extended his small, golden dragon tail and wrapped it around my ankle. It was warm and glowing, like a tiny sun. I happily enjoyed it for three days. Until the livestream comments exploded. [Tail wrapping means claiming a mate! She let the Dragon Emperor’s youngest brother wrap her for three days! That’s basically marriage in dragon society!] [The Dragon Emperor himself is diving down from the heavens! His ETA is in 5 seconds!] The moment the ceiling exploded, the little kid transformed into a golden-scaled dragon, blocking the opening and roaring, “Bro! She’s finally warmed her feet, yet you just blew open the ceiling. Now, all the cold air is coming in!”

I caught my fiancè fucking my best friend thirty minutes before our wedding. An hour later, I was riding his father in the back of his car, still in my wedding dress. *** Hudson Armstrong had me trained and broken down into the perfect and compliant woman. He thought I would swallow the humiliation, paste on a smile and walk down the aisle like nothing happened. He thought wrong. His father Julius? Dark-haired, cold-blooded and powerful enough to make grown men tremble. He was the kind of man who didn’t ask for permission. He just took what he wanted. When he found me shattered by his asshole of a son, he offered me an escape. A filthy, savage and absolutely depraved way out. I should have said no. Instead, I let him peel off my white lace, shove me against the leather seats and fuck me like I was his while his son stood waiting at the altar, clueless and humiliated. One revenge fuck. One night to forget. One twisted mistake, except Julius won’t let me go. His hands, his mouth and his obsession is consuming me whole and the more Hudson tries to win me back, the deeper I fall into his father’s bed.
