A dragon king. A virgin sacrifice. Two hearts are forced together, but can they find love in the struggle? We stand in silence for what feels like an eternity, his arms boxing me in, preventing me from leaving. Finally, I feel his chin connect with the top of my head, bumping it slightly before resting gently. He’s so close, I can smell his scent—like burnt wood and wildflowers. When he speaks again, his voice buzzes through my entire body. “I believe I need you,” he says, his voice hardly more than a breath. My face explodes with heat. His hands grab the sides of my head, tilting it up. I feel his breath against my lips, heavy and warm. My own breath catches in my throat, and I feel my nerves shaking under my skin.
