Page 34 of The Dragon 2
That dragon had hovered there midair, confused and trembling. His fire strangled. His cock—yes, even in dragon form—responded like her magic was the most forbidden touch he’d ever known.
Now that was a naughty dragon. Didn’t he show his dragon cock to her? Yeah. I’m pretty sure he did.
I shivered at the memory.
The audacity of that moment.
Theheatof it.
Other lines hit me.
She’d seen the beast.
Next, she would meet the man.
His human form was one he hadn’t worn in decades. A form he’d buried to become legend.
I could still remember that last line.
He didn’t think he would survive another day if he didn’t at least know her name.
I let out a slow exhale, opened the book again, and flipped to the next chapter.
What would come next?
Would Korin really return to her as a man?
Would she let him close?
And what would hedoto prove he was worthy?
I needed to know. Absolutely giddy, I pulled the blanket around my waist, curled up on the futon with the book, and began to read.
With each sentence, I didn’t know if I was reading a fantasy or a warning.
But my fingers turned the pages like they already belonged to the beast.
Chapter seven
The Lowly Who Dared
Sol
I did it! I scared the mighty Korin away!A girl with no name just rewrote legend. Let them choke on that.
She stood in the half-burnt skeleton of a tavern once calledThe Shimmering Thistle, her figure cloaked by smoke and soot-stained beams.
Around her, the kingdom screamed.
Bodies lay like discarded dolls across the cobbled street—some half-burned, others cradled by sobbing kin.
The air trembled with grief and disbelief, a chorus of death that licked the charred stones and rose into the fire-dark sky.
And yet, in this sea of sorrow, she stood untouched. Not because the flames hadn’t tried. But because they couldn’t.
Her name was Sol.
A name only her parents dared whisper in the privacy of their shack at the edge of Lowly village.
