Ravina’s eyes widened and her steps slowed as she took in the scene in front of her. Now that the blood and dirt were gone from the prisoner’s face, he looked… fine. As she neared, he watched her with his warm coffee-colored eyes, framed by thick feathery brows, arched just the right amount. His face had a strong and clear bone structure that gave him a sharp look of dominance. Her eyes couldn’t bring themselves to look at his mouth so they dipped lower following the drips of water running from…-

Ares dipped his head and took her lips with his. Again the light touch shocked her, and made her stiffen in fear of the feeling before slowly melting at the tug of his lips. His hands came to rest at her hips as he continued to kiss her, first softly and then slowly intensifying. Ravina gave into the intoxicating feeling. It felt even more intense than before. Maybe because they were in a dark hall all alone, and he had his whole body pressed against hers. Her hands went to rest on his shoulders as their…

Ravina left the prisoner behind not liking that smile of his. He certainly got some devious plan that he thought would work. Would she make a mistake by providing him with a bath? Was that part of his plan? She tried to think of what he could possibly do with a bath to escape. She would just provide him with water, soap, and a washcloth. What would he do with it? Perhaps she shouldn’t provide him with those things but she didn’t want him infected either if she was going to test her theories. What…

During the time that the princess didn’t visit him, Malachi had been preparing himself to withstand his next torture. Meanwhile, these humans were sucking the blood out of him. This couldn’t simply be to study his blood. They were doing something else with it. Before going out for this mission, Malachi had prepared himself by taking sedatives, consuming poison, and all kinds of other things that could be injected into his blood so that by the time he was caught his blood would already have developed…

In the morning, Ester whistled happily as she removed the curtains. “Are you ready for another exciting day, My Lady?” Ravina shook her head at her, knowing what she was implying. She was not going to let herself get carried away again. She was back to being mission-focused. “What you suppress will only progress.” Ester shrugged. “Allow yourself to enjoy this sunny day.” She continued placing herself in front of the sunlight shining through the window with open arms. Ravina frowned.…

Ravina noticed the guards standing at a decent distance and turned away as Lord Steele helped her get up from the blanket. “Don’t worry. They are deaf and blind.” Lord Steele assured her. She was not worried. Just… something. Lord Steele took her on a walk in the woods and the guards followed behind. They walked in silence for a moment and she took the chance to calm down. Lord Steele seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. His face became grim again and his jaw was clenched as he walked with his…

Ravina rode beside Lord Steele and three guards rode behind them. “Did you speak with His Majesty today?” Ravina asked him. “Yes.” “I hope he didn’t lecture you about taking care of me.” “A little. He wants you to be in good hands.” Lord Steele said. “It seems like he is worried since he brought the new prisoner.” “I heard he is of royal blood so there is some danger in keeping him alive.” Ravina nodded in agreement. “Did you find out more about him?” He asked. “I…

Ravina stalked back to her room with her hands clenched. If she had a pistol in her hand she would indeed have shot him in the head. Lucky dragon, but soon he would become unlucky. Because her favorite weapon wasn’t a pistol. It was her mind. She arrived at her room where Ester waited as usual. Her face lit up upon her arrival. “My lady.” She took her hands and led her to sit on the bed. “How was it?” She asked excitedly. Ravina remembered Lord Steele and the kiss he placed on her wrist. A…

Malachi had managed to calm down the burning rage in him and go back to being mission-focused. He rarely lost a battle of wit and he never gave his enemies what they wanted. He was usually the provoker and he was good at it but this woman, this damned creature, where did she come from? If only she was a dragon… But she wasn’t. She was a human. A human for god’s sake. How could he smell her so strongly? It couldn’t be possible. He could not be compatible with someone like her. He hated that she…

“Tell me about yourself,” Ravina said after curtly answering some of Lord Steele’s questions. She just wanted to divert the attention from herself but to know more about the man she was getting married to. “What do you want to know?” He asked as they took a walk in the garden. “I know what you do as a governor. Is there something else you do?” “I travel a lot for business and trading so I am rarely home. My plan is to take it easier now, settle down and have a family. I am not getting…
