Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 13 : Teasing a Dragon
*Kieran*I made my way to the kitchen wanting to surprise Ember with a hearty breakfast. I had read online how embryo implanting can cause some cramping and discomfort for females and hoped to make the start of Ember's implanting day a little easier. After all, she was doing this for me and the future of our kingdom and deserved to be spoiled. For years I had been controlled by others and my bloodlust as a dragon was out of control. Building this castle and village had been an escape for myself as well as many others trying to run from the oppression in our homeland. I had a violent past, and I had made awful choices in order to survive. I took in a deep breath thinking about the past once again, knowing how much it haunted me.As I grew older and years passed here in the human world, I had come to the realization that I would not let my future be anything like my past. Others such as therapists and friends had tried to convince me I deserve happiness.I knew they were righ

*Ember*With my hand over my still-flat belly, I walked the grounds of the castle a few days later, careful to steer clear of the caves. I thought one attack might be enough for all of us for a while.I passed some lovely gardens, but was more drawn to the sounds of scuffling in the castle courtyard. Walking as quietly as I could, I peeked around an arched doorway to see what was going on.In the courtyard, my dark prince Kieran was fighting shirtless with the odious Norse god Zephyr. I wondered, briefly, if I should go intervene, then realized they were sparring.They circled each other, which was a shame, because really I only wanted to see Kieran. Zephyr’s tall form kept getting in the way.When Zephyr wasn’t in the way, I managed to catch glimpses of the intricate red dragon tattoo, with gold highlights, snaking across Kieran’s back. It rippled when he moved, the gold tints in it flashing in the sunlight. It was by far the most beautiful tattoo I’d ever seen.And Kieran

*Ember*After the awkward dinner, I couldn't shake the feeling of doubt that had crept in. Kieran's dismissal of my input hit me hard, making me question my place in all of this. I couldn't help but wonder what my role would be in this child's life. Would I just be the surrogate, the vessel that carried the heir to the throne, or would I have a say in how they were raised? Would I be nothing more than a distant memory while Kieran took the reins of their life?I found I really hated the idea of that and tried not to let the dismay it caused consume me. I'd known what I was agreeing to; it wasn't fair for me to get tangled up like this and make a mess of everything just because it wasn't how I imagined having my first child would be.I walked through the castle corridors toward my room, my mind swirled with conflicting emotions. The walls seemed to close in around me, amplifying my sense of uncertainty. Was this what I wanted? To be forever bound to Kieran? I couldn't deny the att

*Ember*I blinked in surprise. Kieran wanted to have dinner with me? I couldn't believe my ears. Had they deceived me?"You want to have dinner with me?" I asked, betraying the shock I was feeling as my voice quivered slightly. "Yes," Kieran smiled with a sheepish grin. "As a way to apologize for my earlier behavior, but also I think it may help us get to know each other better."I couldn't help but admire his dreadfully sexy looks as he grinned at me. How could I say no to a face like that? I still felt a little cautious after his snappy behavior but it wouldn't hurt to get to know each other better. I wouldn't mind that actually."Sure, I'd like that." I said with a smile realizing I was a bit famished. "We should head down to eat then, I ordered pizza and a whole bunch of yummy sides," Kieran said standing. "That sounds healthy," I jabbed teasingly as I stood with him and he led me to my room door. "Oh yeah, so healthy," he answered back sarcastically as he opene

*Ember*I felt a flicker of fear earlier but Kieran had promised me we wouldn't go all the way until I was ready. I could see the spark of arousal in his eyes when he walked into the bathroom grabbing a sash from his bathrobe. But my curiosity got the better of me when he walked back over to the couch we had been sitting on in front of the fire. The glow of the fire accented the muscles on his arms as he came around the couch and knelt down in front of me."I have an idea," he said, wiggling his eyebrows at me. "What is it?" I said curiously, licking my lips and watching the passion in his eyes heighten as he looked into mine. "If we bind your hands behind your back, you won't have to worry about hurting me with them. And we can still have a good time." Kieran answered with a mischievous look. "Anyways, you might find you enjoy it. There's no harm in exploring."I bit my lip as I contemplated the idea, "All right. What happens if I don't want to continue?""Then tell m

*Kieran*I brushed my teeth thinking about touching Ember. I found a way to get past the whole glowing hands thing… at least for now. And I had been able to give Ember a pleasurable moment without her worrying that she'd hurt me. I felt accomplished and couldn't help grinning at myself in the mirror thinking about how her thighs had felt around my head. Mmm… yum… I spit the toothpaste in the sink and ran my mouth under the water washing the rest of the toothpaste out of my mouth. The more I got to know Ember, the more I liked her and wanted to be with her at all times. I couldn't help but wonder if she had power over me or if it was just how my mind was working the more time I spent with her. Fuck, I splashed some cold water on my face trying to regain my composure. If my thoughts were filled with Ember one hundred percent of the time, I'd never be able to focus or get things done. I turned off the light in the restroom and padded across the carpet toward my large bed with r

*Ember*"You seriously think that's something you would crave if you were pregnant?" I said as I laughed so hard I clutched my chest and squinted my eyes shut."Yes! Jalapenos and ice cream! I mean both are amazing, why not pair them together?" Nola answered my judgemental toned question laughing along with me. Nola had taken me to the game room which was just around the bend from my favorite room which was the library. She said that taking a mental health break was just as important as taking time to study and practice. We ended up eating popcorn, playing board games, and currently we stood around a pool table trying to figure out how to play. "I'm not sure I understand. I hate spicy food. No jalapenos for me!" I said scowling at the thought of adding extra spice to my favorite dishes. "Okay okay, but when you become pregnant what do you think you'll want to eat?" Nola asked me with a pointed look as she brushed her hair behind an ear. "Um… I haven't really thought abo

*Ember*I surveyed the ingredients I had laid out before me hoping I had everything I needed for the homemade beef lo mein dish I wanted to make. I had been craving it and desiring some Chinese food lately. Back in my old life, I couldn't afford to be seen frequenting fast food restaurants so I had made my own beef lo mein and crab rangoon recipes. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I had done a mighty fine job.I was looking forward to spending some time on the recipes I had come to love. It had been a while since I had cooked them, and it made me think of home. I blinked the tears away thinking about home and wondering how Rowena was doing. I owed her a long phone call and chat. We had texted back and forth but I still wanted to hear her voice.Shaking my head to dissipate any feelings of homesickness I started writing down a few instructions on a sheet of paper so I could stay focused while making the meal. There was plenty of ingredients to make a meal fit for an army. Making

Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 50 : The New Addition
*Ember*The day finally came where we were able to welcome our baby into the world. The way I felt about being able to give birth in my new home and kingdom felt truly special. I had come to view the Burning Isles as my home, too. In the days leading up to the baby's birth we had fixed up the castle to it's former glory with everyone's magical touch and expertise. We redecorated with Kieran’s emblem, one that he had newly created to represent us both. We patched up the walls and hung more lights in the halls. The colors had changed, the castle seemed brighter and happier than it had been when we first arrived. The throne room had transformed into different sections to include tables filled with maps, another was filled with plans for beautifying the farmlands with different crops, and the other was contracts with different merchants selling in the castle courtyard. Life was restarting here, and to see Kieran really step into his role as a leader was inspiring. I was so grate
Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 49 : Life in the Castle
*Kieran*Ember was truly glowing after she returned from the trial near the Tree of Life. I was thrilled to have her back. No… I was elated. I wanted to celebrate the great news that she could continue to stay here in the Burning Isles.I brought her to the master bedroom telling her about how we helped settle the refugees into rooms of their own. Yarin was helping delegate tasks to the refugees, giving them jobs around the castle. I promised all of them ample compensation and shelter here at the castle as long as they desired. If one day they wished to leave, I guaranteed they could leave whenever they'd like. My uncle had forced the servants and mages to stay here at the castle against their will. There would be no more dictatorship here. I wanted the people of the Burning Isles to have full amenity over their lives. Freedom was the most important thing to these people now, and I intended to make sure they had it.I sat on the bed watching Ember explore our bedroom that we w
Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 48 : The Final Decision
*Ember*I stared up into Kieran's eyes wrapping my arms around his neck."What do you want me to promise?" I asked looking deep into his eyes."Promise you'll come back in one piece, and stay by my side forever? Help me raise our kid? They'll need to hear all of your awful jokes and puns." Kieran teased booping my nose with his. "Wow," I said, shaking my head at him. "Thanks for the pep talk. I'll be sure to run back so I can get started on that."He smiled at my sarcasm, "No problem," he paused as his smile disappeared. "Seriously though, just come back to me.""I will," I said, pulling him in for a kiss. After saying goodbye I walked away from Kieran and Yarin who were starting to help refugees find rooms, the castle was so large it made sense to share it. I couldn't help but wonder how it would turn out, and I couldn't wait to get back to see it. I found my way outside the castle and found the back stairs that took me down the mountain side. I could see the field bel
Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 47 : Can I Stay?
*Ember*We were watching the large group of refugees from Yarin's camp congregate into the throne room, eager to help give them a place they can call home. I felt privileged and extremely honored to watch this monumental moment in Kieran's first few days as king of the Burning Isles. He seemed quiet and I looked over at him to observe a small smile curling the corners of his mouth. There was a sparkle in his eye as if he had something on his mind."I have an idea," he said, turning to look at me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder."Oh?" I asked, raising an eyebrow."We can ask Yarin for help with the spell. She may know of a way to either reverse the spell or tamper with it. She's a very powerful mage, and since we are helping her people she may be willing to help us with this," Kieran said, pulling me close against him. "We could be together, with our child like we are meant to be."He placed a hand over my stomach, brushing slightly with his finger. I swore I could

*Ember*Changing back into her human form, Cassidy looked worse for wear with sweat dripping down her forehead and her makeup smeared. She breathed in heavily, holding her hands up in defeat. With a smirk she said, "You win, little one. Fair and square."I narrowed my eyes at her as I extinguished my flames. "That was not our agreement. You didn't follow through with your vow.""Oh Whatever… you're a fire mage… you were strong enough to maim me. Thanks for those burns by the way. You did well for a human," she whispered before Yarin and Kieran's footsteps came running down the sandpit toward us."You did it, Ember!" Kieran shouted excitedly pulling me away from Cassidy and giving me a big hug. He pulled away from me and looked Cassidy up and down with a judgmental look. "Ember, you defeated her dragon form too.""Yes, great job!" Yarin clapped nearby offering me a kind smile."Ember Haiven, you have won Kieran Dzianis' hand in marriage fair and square in a duel with me,"
Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 45 : Flames and Knives
*Ember*I fumbled around reaching for his hands, "Kieran, how do you think I felt when I saw you up in the air fighting your uncle?""Point taken, but I am still worried," he said."We are going around in circles with this discussion. For now, let’s get some sleep. If I don't rest, I won't be at my best for tomorrow," I explained."Can't have that," he whispered and we pulled the sheets over us, holding one another close."Kieran?" I asked as our breathing slowed. My eyes were drooping with sleep and exhaustion. "Yeah?" He asked."You did great today. Let's not forget how you just vanquished your most formidable foe. I am proud of you," I said sincerely."Thank you, Ember, you’re right. He's finally gone," Kieran sighed, like it was finally hitting him that it was over. "Good night."I answered back as I kissed him on the cheek before falling asleep, "Good night."The next day I was able to actually take a look around the castle without feeling impending doom. W
Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 44 : Who Will it Be?
*Ember*As my confusion and feelings of hurt deepened, I looked away from Kieran. My heart beat heavily and it felt like I had been betrayed by him. If he’d have told me he was still engaged, I wouldn’t have encouraged our interactions. I felt so hurt and I blinked back tears as I thought over Cassidy's words. She was meant to be queen. Not me. I wasn’t even supposed to be here. I wasn't sure how Kieran would be able to get out of this, especially if he was promised to her before we had met. What did that mean for the future child we shared?Resting a hand on my stomach, I massaged the bump, wishing our baby the best future life had to offer. I felt like the carpet had been pulled out from under me, and everything was at risk, hanging in the balance at this very moment in Yarin's hut. Cassidy's eyes had lit with jealousy earlier when she first met me. She didn't seem to understand that what Kieran and I had was real. It went beyond politics. Or so I had thought. Doubt
Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 43 : Baggage
*Ember*As our kiss deepened, I cleared my mind of everything that had just happened with Kieran's uncle and fell into a daze of pleasure. I could only think about Kieran as his stubble rubbed against my face, causing me to shiver in delight. I desired him so much. I couldn't help but run my hands down his pecs and his abs. He was a beautiful specimen just like his dragon."Sorry to interrupt," Yarin said, clearing her throat. "But Kieran before you get too comfortable… you should probably deal with your fiance. She'll want to know you are alive and what has happened here."My head spun in shock at Yarin's words. Fiance? I turned from her to look at Kieran who was breaking from our embrace. I now seemed like an afterthought to him as he distractedly broke away from me."She's alive?" he asked with a surprised tone walking over to Yarin."Oh yeah, she's alive all right. I heard a rumor that she is living with her father in their summer abode down by The Sparkling Waves Lake
Surrogate of the Sleeping Dragon Chapter 42 : Show Time
*Ember*I stood quietly next to Kieran and Yarin as we stood under the cover of the trees. The bridge connecting to the castle stood just across from us as we waited. It was quiet, and ominous dark clouds were scattered over the castle as if warning any people intending to visit to stay away. There were so many good reasons to stay away like possible death or malicious intent. Yet, here we stood.This day was inevitable, and I would never have dreamed that one day I'd actually be able to see the showdown between Kieran and his uncle. I absent-mindedly reached for Kieran's hand, trying to disguise the worry that enveloped my entire being. This was petrifying because I didn't want to lose him. He grasped my hand tightly and turned to look at me."Ready?" he asked, his face stoic. He must have been trying to remain as emotionless as possible."Ready as I'll ever be. How about you? Are you going to be okay, Kieran?" I asked worriedly, brushing a strand of loose hair behind my ear.
