Mede wasn’t sure why she walked so fast through the cave. For some reason she found it hard to breathe when she stood too close to Llyr. She focused her shifted eyes forward, ignoring the fat six-legged insects that hid in the crevices, and only jumped out to snack on the smaller pale lizards that ran across her path. It didn’t take much concentration to hear the water, and without any turns it was easy to find her way. Llyr’s footsteps behind her caused her to walk faster.

The sound of the water became louder, a steady thundering rush. Llyr’s footsteps increased their pace. Mede’s heartbeat quickened slightly. Light greeted her and she no longer needed her shifted eyes to see. Cool air kissed her skin as she entered a chamber.

The waterfall she’d detected outside the cave spilled over the chamber’s opening, creating a moving wall illuminated by outside light. Most of the water flowed down the side of the mountain, but some rained into the cave to feed a pool that covered most of the floor. Moss hung in thick ropes from the walls and natural columns. They were green and thick near the water spray where the sun shone through the cascade.

Llyr captured her from behind. The bag slipped from her shoulder and fell on the hard stone floor with a thud. He wrapped around her waist and pulled her tight against him. A shiver worked over her body and she closed her eyes.

Mede didn’t understand their connection. Her rational mind would try to reason it, but when he touched her, she forgot herself. Maybe it was the newness of having a lover. Maybe years of her mother’s hoping had finally wormed its way into her brain without her knowing it. Maybe now that she finally became a Dead Dragon, her mind needed a new adventure and it had chosen Llyr.

They were not fate.

They were not chosen by the gods.

They were not meant to be forever.

But then…

“Don’t run from me,” Llyr whispered.

Mede’s heart raced at his words. There was a softness to them, almost a plea that stirred deep emotion. Trying to sound confident and pretty sure she was failing, she managed, “Why? Don’t think you’re up to the chase?”

He slid his hand upward to her neck, so that his arm rested between her breasts. The arm around her waist became a steel vice as he held her tight to his body. The evidence of his desire pressed into her backside.

“I feel your heart racing.” He splayed his fingers over her neck. His voice lowered to a seductive timbre. “I feel your lungs heaving for breath. I don’t think you want to run, my lady.”

“Mede,” she corrected automatically, as breathless as he’d indicated.

“I think you want to feel me again.” Llyr rocked his hips. “You want me inside you. You want my scent on you. You want that pleasure. Say it. Tell me to release you, my lady.”

“But if you release me, prince, then you won’t be able to do all those things.
