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.

Closer in pain

  Malachi opened his eyes to the cool breeze blowing through the open balcony door. He looked outside, it was dawn and birds were chirping outside. A sweet scent filled his nostrils before the calm breath and heartbeat besides his made his head turn. 

Ravina. 

She was sleeping in his bed, hair spread and expression relaxed. Her lips were slightly parted and her chest rose and fell in a slow rhythm. Her robe was almost coming off, showing the hallow between her breasts and the thin silky fabric revealed the shape. Her legs were also exposed, coming through the slit of her robe that was only held together with a belt around the waist. 

He just stared at her for a moment in awe and disbelief. He found her more beautiful each day. He wanted to scoop her fragile body into his arms and hold her when he took notice of her arm in his hand. Slowly he eased his grasp around her, noticing the redness. How long did he hold her? Hopefully, he didn't bruise her.
