Touch of Flame

He is a threat to her existence. A hot-blooded dragon of Royal blood, King Malachi is taken hostage by the humans he despises so much. Deprived of his freedom, he is imprisoned in a dark cave, his rage growing with each day of torture and humiliation. The only light he sees comes in the form of a human female, offering her care. A woman who makes him burn with equal fury and desire. A woman who has no place in his heart or mind, for only one thought sustains him. Vengeance! And even if her kindness softens his heart and her touch sets his body aflame, she will not be spared his wrath. Because once he breaks the chains of slavery, he will burn down her whole world. She is the key to his freedom. The cold-hearted princess Ravina is a woman with a mission. Eradicate the dragon race from the face of earth. But when she finds out that the very creatures who killed her parents could also be the ones who kidnapped her sister, she has no choice but to change her plans. To find her sister, she must get closer to the creature she despises. But things don’t always go as planned and soon Ravina ends up finding more than she bargained for. Caught in a battle between humans and dragons, love and hatred, trust and betrayal, Ravina must make every choice with caution. And with every step she takes closer to the fiery beast, she risks melting the ice surrounding her heart and being consumed by the flames of fury and passion.

Blowing off steam

"And she calls me the barbarian," Malachi quietly said as the waitress came back to serve them wine. 

Aaron burst out laughing. "The barbarian?" He had to laugh some more before he could speak. "Malachi the barbarian." 

He was having fun at his expense. 

"You can be barbaric sometimes brother," he teased. 

How was he barbaric? It was just humans that acted differently. He was careful with her. Had she been a dragon, they would have already been wrestling. It was a way to show affection but well, humans liked to kiss the "ladies" hand and buy flowers. Be a gentleman, whatever that meant. 

Was that what Ares was? Did he buy her flowers? Kiss her hand. What did he say to her? Surely their way of flirting was different. More subtle. He knew humans were careful with their language and showing affection in public. 

"Did you also know that she was healing people?" He asked. 

Aaron shrugged. "I know she helped Nelli."
