Part 1 – Chapter 20
Later, I lie beside him, my head resting on his chest, my leg thrown over his, my body boneless. I’m a bowl of jiggly Jell-O, quaking and spent. I’ve never felt so alive. Gazing up at the ceiling, Aidan murmurs, “Need to ask you a question. And I need you to be honest when you answer.” I wait silently. He didn’t give me permission to speak, and I’m still not really clear how and when all these rules of his apply, so I stay on the safe side and say nothing. His chest rises and falls…-

Ch25. Run
Odessa Creed's nose was to mine, his head tilted to plant his warm lips on the corner of my mouth. It was so tender, so soft for a man like himself. Instantly, I kissed him back, his hand tangling in my hair. Our bodies flushed together as the snow fell around us, the blue lights finally leaving us alone. Feeling his heart beat next to my chest, I wanted him impossibly closer to me, to be one with him because I never wanted to let him go. He wasn't a dragon trying to guard a treasure; he was the…-

Chapter
Ch5. His Cave
Odessa The clinking of utensils startled me. "Dad?" I whisper. I rubbed my cheek against the pillow when it dawned on me that dad isn't here anymore; he's gone. In fact, I wasn't at home at all and was stuck in a tree running from the Duke. Whatever my cheek was rubbing against is so soft, so warm. It feels like the fur of an animal. My eyes didn't blink open slowly; they darted open was an intensity my lashes almost fell off. My back was turned to whatever was making small noises on the other side.…-

Part 1 – Chapter 32
I say crossly to the letter in my hand, “If I knew what all my thunder and lightning were telling me, I wouldn’t have asked you for advice!” Maybe Dante was sent to prison for being criminally irritating. With a sigh of frustration, I slap the letter down on my desktop and stare glumly out the window into the rainy afternoon. More damn rain. It’s like the weather is in on some evil plot to drive me even nuttier than I already am. It’s been two weeks since I’ve had contact with…-

Part 1 – Chapter 18
Before I can even knock, Aidan yanks open the door. He pulls me inside, kicks the door shut, takes me into his arms, and kisses me passionately. I kiss him back, desperate for him to make me forget everything except the way it feels when his mouth is on mine. Without a word, he pulls my T-shirt up and over my head. He flings it to the floor and kisses me again. He’s not wearing a shirt, so my breasts are pressed against his bare chest. His skin is smooth and hot, and he feels…-

Chapter
Ch15. Bath
Odessa "We will leave it right here!" I took two large pins, attached thicker pieces of leather to make clothes, and pinned the row of letters next to the table. Once you look up from the table, it sits nicely on the cave wall. I smiled. It was the first thing I was proud of since entering this dank world. Soon I could read Creed's writing and have more of a conversation with him rather than me talking one-sidedly. It only took Creed a few hours to go through every letter, listening make the sound. He…-

Part 1 – Chapter 3
Dear Kayla, You didn’t respond to my last letter, which I understand, because you think we’ve never met. You’re wrong. I could bore you with the details, but for now, just trust that I know you. In every way one person can know another, I know you. I know the sight, sound, taste, and smell of you. I know your darkest darks and your lightest lights. I know your dreams, your nightmares, and every secret you’ve ever kept hidden, all those nameless desires you never admitted even to…-

Part 1 – Chapter 21
I stare at the coin with my heart palpitating and my mind recoiling as if it spotted a rattlesnake. After a while when I get up my nerve, I reach for it with a trembling hand. It feels abnormally cold in my fingers, as if it’s been stored in a freezer. But it hasn’t been in a freezer. It’s been where I left it, in a drawer in my office desk. And now it’s here. In my car. The car parked outside the bar that Aidan lives above. I glance around, but there’s no one in sight. The…-

Ch6. Yellowcress Root
Creed's POV My little Fawn told me her name, Odessa. Sweet sounding like the sirens of the blue waters of the East. Her laugh was inviting. Everything about her was perfect. If I was allowed to have a mate, it would be her. The epitome of perfection. My dragon thought so while she stroked our scars. Her fingers trembled at first, but as I relaxed, her fingers radiated warmth. My dragon purred silently, not to scare her. She didn't know what I was; once she did, would she leave? She commented on…-

Part 1 – Chapter 33
Dear Dante, Thank you for the advice. I must say, however, it was shitty. “You are the storm. What are your thunder and lightning telling you?” Was that really supposed to be helpful? Because it wasn’t. Please forgive the rudeness, but my life is falling apart. Correction, it already fell apart. I’m just wandering around in all the broken pieces, kicking up dust and cutting my feet on shards of glass. And by the way, what was that whole thing about the love that turned the stars and the…-
