- "I turned away the heaviness in my chest, it was time to go and I needed to act now before I lose my nerves.
- Turning around slowly, I followed him out of the castle and into the cold air outside and that was how I wanted it.
- There will surely be a story about what happened to me, but it wouldn't be a true story. I don't want my people to feel uneasy. I don't want them to live in fear.
- I needed to keep everyone calm and safe. And also I walked out into the cold night on my own.
- The wind whipped at my cloak and I pulled it tighter around myself. I wondered what the weather will be like at the Dragon Lord castle.
- No one had ever visited and returned to tell the tales. I had only rumors to go on and I didn't know if they would be trusted.
- Every step I took dragged me further away from home, further away from the life I had lived for the past twenty years.
- It was crazy to think so much was going to change.
- It was crazy to think how quickly life had been rosy and sweet.
- The carriage door was opened for me to enter and I stepped inside. I felt a lump in my throat and I swallowed it down I wasn't going to cry not now.
- I wouldn't disgrace myself like that. Not until I'm truly alone.
- The door was shut behind me and I peered out of the window at the castle. My Father had probably said his goodbye, but I didn't hear it. I had written a letter to him and I had hoped that would be enough.
- I sank into the plush velvet seat of the carriage and closed my eyes.
- A few moments passed where I felt the carriage shift as if more luggage was being loaded in. And then the carriage lurched to life beneath me.
- The driver swished to the reigns and the horses began to move. If everything went as planned, this driver would be the only person to ever return from the Dragon clan castle.
- I swallowed the anxiety in my stomach and leaned my head against the window. The glass was cool against my skin and I took a few deep breaths to calm the racing of my heart down.
- And then we were off. The carriage picked up speed and I knew that any minute I would be out of the castle ground and traveling through the kingdom.
- We would go the back way.
- I'd be out of my kingdom in an hour
- ********★********
- A few hours later. I would arrive at the Dragon Lord's castle and everything would be different.
- To be honest, it wasn't like I had much time to rest, and the anxiety of getting ready had been weighing on me.
- Now, while I was incredibly nervous the dread seemed almost comforting. I knew nothing good was waiting for me. I knew I was in danger, but it wasn't it wasn't also inevitable.
- The choice was out of my hands now, and there was nothing I could do again but there was a strange sense of peace that flooded into me because of that I closed my eyes letting out a deep breath.
- The interior of the carriage was comforting with a wide, pulse seat that give an opportunity for rest.
- I didn't know when I'd next be able to rest like this, so maybe it was a good idea to take advantage of the drive. It wasn't like I could do anything else right now.
- All I could do was wait.
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- The world around me was hazy and dim as if I was in a dream.
- The softest sheet surrounded me, the silk cradling my body and keeping it safe on the bed.
- The light that filtered in through the window was warm and bright, sending a shiver of warmth all this way through my body.
- Everything was hazy and under. But all I knew was that I was happy, happy, and safe.
- Everything was okay, everything was fine and I felt like I could breathe.
- The body beside me in the bed was warm, and when his body pressed against mine, I felt a jolt of pleasure spark through me. My body was on fire electricity shuddering through me leaving me breathless.
- My body was humming, aching with the sweet pull of desire. I couldn't remember feeling anything sweet or so strong like this in my whole life.
- It was something else. Something new, something that I needed more of. I wanted the feeling to last.
- When he kissed me. I felt like I was melting into him. His firm body pressed against mine, expert hands sliding across my skin and sending shivers moving through me.
- I held him tight In return, rocking my body into his touch, my breathing was coming out so quick, short gasps as the pleasure crashed through me.
- Where did he learn to make a woman feel so good?
- Every part of my body trembled with pleasure at his touch. His kiss was electric, passionate, and sweet. I kissed him back lifting my hand to tangle them in his hair.
- I tugged at the strands gently, eliciting a groan was had from him that sent extraordinary pleasure straight through my body. I loved that he was enjoying this too.
- We were so close that I could feel his breath on my skin, but I couldn't just make out his face.
- I grabbed his shoulder and saw the twisting tattoo that run over his skin, ripping with every shift of his powerful muscle.
- I ran my fingertips over the sign; admiring the ink on his skin, then he pressed close, and I lost all my sense of reason.
- My body moved on its own and it was like nothing I had ever felt before.
- My sense was on fire and I wanted more of him, more of his touch, more of this creating pleasure that rose inside me unbidden and fierce.
- It was breathtaking. It was overwhelming.
- It was better than I could ever imagine.
- The passionate and fiery.
- It rode inside of me, so close, so perfect
- Hot…..!!!
- Fast!!!
- Until I couldn't breathe from the desire….
- ~~~~~~~~•••••••~~~~~~
- I woke up with a start, gasping and trying to catch my breath. I looked around frantically, for the mysterious stranger in my dreams, only to find that I was alone.
- I was alone in my carriage.
- The memories of where I was and what I was doing tricked back into my mind. I was on a journey to the Dragon Lord.
- I was all on my own and I had never taken a lover before.
- "Where did the dream ever come from"
- I sank against the plush seat, taking a few deep breaths. My heartbeat was pounding frantically in my chest, thundering against my breast and leaving me panting.
- Why did I have a dream like that?
- It was completely out of my character, I didn't succumb to erotic dreams and I certainly don't wake up flushed because of them, I'm in danger.
- My focus was on the journey ahead and I'm doing my best to survive this ordeal or die will dignity.
- So why was I dreaming about a man hands on my skin? Why was I feeling a rush of desire between my tight that left me shaky and aching for more?
- I didn't know!!
- Burying my head in my hand, I took a few deep breaths, shaking my head.
- It's the stress, that all...
- Stress makes people do crazy things. Having a few insane dreams didn't seem that out of the ordinary, did it?
- That's what it was, stress, it was the only thing that made any sense at all.
- Shivering; I leaned back in my seat peaking out in the window. My heart dropped into my stomach.
- Outside the window, in the distance, I could see a castle towering and impressive in the dim light of the moon. In the darkness, it looked terrifying and foreboding.
- It was hard to make out which in the dim light, but the land around us seemed harsh and unforgiving nothing like the beautiful blue skies and the rolling hills of home.
- But what else did I expect, from the castle of the Dragon Lord?
- "It's like will be arriving soon.
