Smoke curls from Drega as he attempts to look noble and not at all excited. And then he has to go and tell me I am his everything.

When I watched him sleeping, when his face was calm, I saw him. Not the dragon, not the Sarkarnii, but Drega. No longer attempting to be the warrior, the healer, whatever was expected of him, but a male, deep in sleep after…

After what we did together. My lower abdomen still aches slightly from being swollen with his cum. None of this makes sense. It is all very obviously real. I sort of wish I’d asked the others more questions about the Sarkarnii.

“Since when did my touch not cause you pain?” I hear myself asking him.

We’re in the middle of a war zone. The walls around us creak with the effort of moving, and for some reason, I want answers.

“Your touch never caused me pain, heartsfire. I was afraid of what might happen if I touched you.”

“And what was that?”

“My ability to shift has been altered in the Kirakos. I do not know why, but I can take on the characteristics of others. As a healer, it is particularly cruel to be made this way. As such, I can no longer stand to touch skin on skin, unless I am peeling flesh from bone.”

He captures my hand, resting against his chest.

“You are the exception, little jewel.”

“And your brothers?”

“I fear taking on any of their attributes might harm them, as I feared it might harm you.”

“Drega…” I feel a volcano of anger rising within me.

Here is a male who can no longer touch his own kind, who didn’t want any sort of touch because of what he thought it did.

“We’re going to do this run. We’re going to find who did this to you and make them change you back,” I growl. “Then we’re going to get the fuck off the Kirakos.”

Drega stares at me for a second, then he is kissing me so hard, I feel like my mouth is going to be bruised by his desperation. It infuses me. Drega has been so alone, all this time, not knowing if he could have contact with another ever again.

And then he finds me.

I wrap my arms around his neck, leaning into the kiss, taking him, all of him, every part of him, against me. Last night should have been my revelation. This huge, blue, confident male is something complex. Drega is not who I thought he was.

I wish I’d told him what was on my mind when he opened his eyes. I wish I’d told him he was the first man, the first male I’d been with since I lost my father.

That all these years, I’d been holding back because I couldn’t bear my already cracked heart being ripped in two.

“Drega…” I say breathlessly when he releases me from his dominant, possessive, and devastating kiss.

Beneath us, the ground trembles.

“We need to go, my jewel,” Drega says, jumping lightly across the crack which has opened wider next to us.
