"His hand moved to my breast and squeezed it. Jolts of pain and pleasure shot through me and a cry escaped my lips. “You’re nothing but a psycho and I loath your existence,” I spat out, in a venomous voice. “Yet your body says otherwise.” I could try to struggle even if he was stronger but I just stood there, letting him stain my body with his wicked hands. His hand left my breasts and moved to my core and I gasped loudly, my eyes widening as sudden panic swept through me. “You’re so wet for me,” he growled as his fingers rubbed roughly against my clit.

"No human has dared look at me without my permission in ages. Yet here she is, her eyes like deep wells of night glinting with stars, her long dark hair pulled back in a braid, showing the exotic beauty of her face clearly in the sunlight. And as I gaze upon her, my heart seems to ache in a way I’ve never felt before. No. It can’t be.

I refuse to believe it, and yet, I know deep in my soul there is only one reason I feel the way I do as I look at her.

I fight everything in me not to leap down into the pit and take her into my arms. But then her gaze is pulled from mine, releasing me from the spell that seems to have engulfed me. ***** For centuries, Ariyan Silverwing has reigned over the land as Lord of Dragons, the humans, who once sought to destroy his kind, now used as servants and protectors of their most precious treasures.
