A Handsome Dragon Approaches

The Medusa was bored and she had, accidently of course, turned some soldiers to stone.

Some might say she did it on purpose but who could really tell whether or not she had full control over her abilities?

Certainly not the idiots she was currently in company of.

They've been walking for days now and the prince and his senseless whining was getting on her nerves.

Suddenly, they came to a stop.

"Why are we stopping? Hurry up!"

The prince was yelling again, though, that wasn't unusual.

"Your Highness, there's a knight who'd like to join us"

A knight? Just one? On his own?

'Very unusual for a knight, might be a trap'

But she kept her mouth shut and listened in on the conversation between the humans.

She wasn't there to guide or actually help them, she was merely curious.

They hadn't even asked for her name.

Simply having taken to calling her Medusa or Monster which neither was anywhere near her name.

The word Medusa, was something the elves had first come up with for her.

Although, back then it didn't have a negative connotation.

"Bring him to me"

She glanced at the ugly human prince as he lazily sat on his golden makeshift throne.

He avoided her eyes at all time and only spoke to her through his minions for as long as he wasn't angered.

With heavy steps the knight approached and she looked up only to see familiar golden eyes framed by a handsome face and silver hair.

Asmodeus had a charming smile on his lips and when they locked eyes, his smile widened.

"I heard your having trouble with a dragon. I'd like to join and see this fearsome dragon for myself"

His voice was as pleasant to the ears as she remembered.

He spoke with a melodious and soft voice which complimented his gorgeous face.

His skintone, that reminded her of one of her favorites sweets - caramel bonbons, stood out against his unusual hair colour.

And his full, kissable lips...

"May I ask, how come you're traveling with gorgeous woman? Are you not going to war?"

She had refused to bind her snakes and hide them under a hat as such they were currently staring at the familiar face in front of them.

The prince gasped, almost chocking on air.

"That's the Medusa!"

Asmodeus, always the gentleman, took her hand and pressed a kiss on it.

"It is a pleasure to be meeting you, my lady. May I know your name?"

His beautiful eyes pulled her in, captivating her.

"My name is Dareia. And yours?"

"She has a name?!", the prince shouted in the background but neither of the two noticed.

"Deus, Knight of Asmo. Although you may call me husband"

'Wow, he really couldn't think of a better?name than this'

And even though she rolled her eyes she couldn't fight a smile.

Asmodeus had always managed to make her smile no matter the situation.

And to the horror of everyone else, she flirted back.

"Very well then, my lovely husband. Let's get along well"

The beautiful dragon smirked and kissed the inside of her hand.

"I have no doubt that we'll be getting along perfectly, love"

For the following days, the knight refused to leave the snake woman's side, appearing genuinely charmed by her beauty.

"What is wrong with him? Is he blind?"

"Perhaps he was dropped on the head as a child?"

"She probably used a spell on him. Poor bastard"

But no matter how much the soldiers speculated, they couldn't understand what about the monster could be considered beautiful.

What the idiots didn't know was that the only reason they were still alive was all thanks to Dareia.

Asmodeus was seething and Dareia was struggling to keep him killing all of them.

"If you kill them now we won't be able to surprise them later, my dear"

"Since when are humans important to you? Did the little prince charm you?", he demanded to know as he cornered her.

Ah, her husband was so very attractive when he was jealous.

Her snakes slithered over her shoulders, wrapping themselves around his arms to pull him closer.

"The only reason I joined them was because I was planning on visiting you, my dear", she muttered against his skin as she kissed his jaw.

He relaxed a bit and tilted his head to give her more space.

"You're the most charming man I've ever met", she admitted, feeling him chuckle more than that she heard it.

"Such a sweet tongue", his hand found it's way around her neck, "Let me have a taste"

The desire made his voice a bit raspy and she shuddered.

"Everything you want, my husband, you can have everything you want"

"Hm? Everything I want?"

He was smiling again, she could tell even without seeing his face.

Grabbing her waist he pulled her against him.

"I'll do just that then", he whispered into her ear and when he kissed her, it left her longing for more.
