The quill scratched against the parchment hard enough to tear it.
I cursed, tossing it to the desk and staring at the sentence Iâd butchered and violently crossed out. I could still scent her, still feel her beneath the pads of my useless fingers. She was a haunting so vivid, the restraint it took to keep from stalking through the castle halls in search of her made more than my hands shake.
My very bones quivered. Hunger and exhilaration coursed through me like a river over a cliff, too much to tame. This entity surpassed the need to feed, to unleash pent-up desire upon anotherâs flesh. It was unconquerable and impossible to ignore.
From the moment I first laid eyes on her, I knew that should I ever have such a wish granted, then I would never again taste anything quite like her.
And Iâd been right.
Exquisite, a rare wine gifted from the goddesses themselves, Fia Callula was the poison Iâd spent most of my existence searching for.
She was both life and death, for after one drop of her blood had touched my lips, it was instantly apparent that Iâd never get what I so desperately needed anywhere else.
It had to be her, and I was still thanking the fates Iâd once cursed for allowing it to be so. Her taste was imprinted upon my tongue. A song that called deadened parts of me back to life inside my veins. But touching herâ¦
I groaned, reaching for my teacup with trembling fingers.
The tea was a poor replacement for what Iâd spent hours devouring, so I set it down with a clatter in the saucer.
She still loathed me. There was a good chance a part of her always would. Iâd stolen her from her life, and Iâd brought her here to make my own easier. For I had to, and I had to have her.
She had every right to blame and despise me, but Iâd never know she did either when Iâd scented her desire. When Iâd felt it drench my fingers. When Iâd felt her already swollen, incredibly soft flesh flood with desperation for more.
For more from meâfor more of me.
Jarronâs steps clipping down the hall outside ignited a spark of annoyance before heâd even opened his mouth. âYouâre still bothering with that even though everything is going to plan?â
âItâs going to plan because sheâs my mate,â I said before I could help myself.
She was my fate-given counterpart, and Iâd spent hours staring at the same stupid piece of parchment, coming to terms with the fact that sheâd given in to me because of that.
It was hard for her to deny herself or me, and therefore barbaric and cruel of me to succumb when I knew. I knew she hadnât forgiven me and that there was so much, perhaps even too much, to forgive.
âAnd?â he said, his features creased with confusion as he took the step down into my study. âThatâs been the whole damned point.â
âAnd Iâm still a dragon.â I didnât bother giving voice to more of my turmoil, but I had something else I needed to say.
