She despised him.

He could see it in the way he looked at her. Sanguine had hurt her. He had damaged her. He had scared her. He was desperately attracted to her. He was. There was no denying it. Kaira was gorgeous and there was something about her that made him feel much younger, much more alive than he truly was. Despite her good looks, Sanguine knew there was something much deeper that attracted him to her. There was something crazy about her. There was something just a little bit wild.

He needed to find a way to show Kaira how valuable she was, how important she was.

He needed to find a way to show her that she was making him crazy with desire.

He needed something.

Sanguine stared at his prize, at his precious princess. There were so many emotions swimming around in her eyes. She looked scared, confused, and curious. Sanguine wondered how he could grasp onto that curiosity and make it work for his own good. He wanted her to like him, to desire him like he desired her. He wanted to know if Kaira could one day be his consort, maybe even his queen.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

“Here,” Sanguine said to her. “Don’t move.” Kaira looked afraid, but did as she was told. Sanguine leaned down over her and gently breathed a small puff of fire out of his nostrils. It wasn’t much, not enough to hurt her, but it was enough to burn the ropes that bound her. It was enough to free her.

The ropes fell from her wrists and Kaira rubbed her arms quickly, making sure they were fine with no bruising or cuts.

“Why did you do that?” She asked.

“Come,” he said to her, and turned to walk away.

He walked, knowing she would follow. While she hesitated for a moment, her curiosity soon got the better of her and Kaira followed quickly behind Sanguine. She remained quiet as they walked through the room and down a wide hallway. She kept her gaze firmly on Sanguine, still awed by his considerable size. Were all dragons this huge? How could they ever have been hunted? They were mammoth. She wondered, for a moment, exactly what it must take to kill a dragon. Kaira couldn’t imagine it happening very easily or very often.

They made several turns and explored several caverns before finally settling in the treasure room where Sanguine had first captured Kaira. Her empty cage sat in the corner, abandoned and forlorn. She shot Sanguine a look, as if to ask if he wanted her to go back into it, but he shook his head, almost indiscernibly. No, he was sure they were past the point of caging.

“This is what I have acquired,” he told Kaira, motioning to the treasure. His voice was deep and husky and he hoped she couldn’t tell just how aroused he was, knowing how she watched him walk the entire way. Did she like his scales? Did she enjoy his coloring? What did Kaira think
