All I’d ever given him was a dance and a kiss in a glamoured virtual reality.
In the back of my mind, I realized it might not be up to me to choose or not to choose. Fate wouldn’t let me keep this balance forever. Hadn’t Sphinx said that if I refused Elvey, his bones would be shattered?
No, don’t let me go there.
Right now, I needed to find Blaze. I wouldn’t leave our quarrel like that. I couldn’t let him be hurt like that. I couldn’t let him go. But what if he’d made up his mind and was done with me?
My heart plunged into icy water.
I tracked the fire dragon, following the thread of our bond. My heart pounded in gratitude that it was still there, that it hadn’t broken.
Rai and Iokul trailed after me to guard me, in respectful distance. For the first time, they didn’t push the matter or crowd me with their alpha male presence or demands but gave me space.
What if it wasn’t space but the distance growing between us?
The snow had stopped falling, yet the chill was in my bones. I trekked on the path of ice and snow until I found Blaze standing behind the rail at the guards’ post, staring into the distance. His gray cloak flapped in the wind.
I stalked toward him.
I wanted to say sorry—not sorry for wanting Elvey, but for hurting him.
But I couldn’t get the words out, Instead, I listened to the harsh sound of the wind.
I invaded his space, got into his cloak, and slid an arm around his firm waist.
Blaze didn’t move. Didn’t say anything. A half minute passed, which felt like an eternity, before he sighed and wrapped his cloak around me to shelter me from the wind and coldness.
He pulled me against his chest tightly and tucked my head under his chin.
I clasped my hands behind his neck. “Blaze,” I whispered, gazing up at his masked face.
His eyes burned with pain and desire for me. As his gaze dipped to my mouth, I stared at his sensual lips. They parted, full of need for me. I freed a hand and brushed my thumb over his bottom lip.
Despite the frigid weather, his lips remained warm. That was the benefit of being a fire dragon. And my Blaze was the hottest one.
My hand moved to trace his mask. I could picture how beautiful, how perfect his face was under the mask.
How badly I wanted to get rid of the mask carved on his face and to see him completely naked, from head to toe. We’d talked extensively about the remaining half-curse on my mates. I would turn every corner over and search the cure for them after we secure our dynasty and home. But they insisted they would need to keep proving that they were my worthy mates for the masks to drop off.
They thought this trial would help them to prove themselves.
They were wrong. They’d already proved they were worthy of me in every aspect. But was I worthy of them?
Blaze grabbed my hand and moved it away from his mask. Without a word, he crashed his mouth onto mine.
The kiss was so fierce and hungry it burned me all the way to my toes, and fiery lust rose to meet its demand. I clung to him. I couldn’t get enough of him. His tongue thrust into my open mouth, teasing my teeth and challenging my fangs to appear before sweeping over my hard palate.
A moan escaped from the depth of my throat, but his deep kiss stifled it. His tongue thrust against my tongue, mating with it.
My pussy became slick with need and want.
I broke the kiss and whispered against his hot lips. “I won’t choose, Blaze. I won’t choose Elvey over you.”
From the corner of my eye, I caught a shadowy figure pulling away from under a white tree and fading off into the mist.
Elvey.
His pain rippled to me. He didn’t know it magnified ten times in my heart.
