*Ember*"Kieran," I said, putting my book down while Kieran headed over to me and sat on the end of the lounge chair next to me. I observed him wondering why his shoulders seemed tense and his body was rigid as he sat down. Maybe he didn't sleep well. I couldn't help but reach out to grasp his arm empathizing with him since I too had been struggling to sleep lately."Ember," he said, sucking in a deep breath as my skin touched his. Did he not like it when I touched him? I had only just gotten used to the fact that I could touch him without hurting him. It would be discouraging if he didn't want me to touch him.Interrupting my thoughts, Kieran continued with a question as he looked deep into my eyes, "How are you?""Good. How are you? You don't look too good," I asked looking at him. He looked like he was going to throw up, perhaps he had been pushing himself too much lately.He gritted his teeth and gave me a tense smile. "What are you reading?"I sighed knowing he was ign
*Kieran*"We just can't be sure who this woman was, Kieran," Nola repeated in my study as I rubbed my chin in contemplation at her words.Thorne and Zephyr stood at my sides looking back from me to Nola. We were strategizing our next move in regards to Ember's strange nightmare earlier this morning. I had put all other meetings on hold, because this was Ember we were talking about. I wouldn't have her safety or my child's safety put in jeopardy. "Well, that's just not good enough," I shouted with frustration. "We need to know who we are dealing with. She's got enough magic to penetrate the castle barriers and get inside Ember's head. She has to be someone of importance, and we need to find out who she is. Now."I reiterated my words and knew that the three of them heard me. Nola gave me a very tense but serious look. It had only been a few hours before, where she had discovered I may have romantic feelings for Ember. So she knew why I was so worked up more than usual. "Ther
*Ember*We traveled in Kieran's car through the part of the Lockebrooke Forest that had a road. Kieran and I had finished our previous evening at Fae Fountain Tavern and early the next morning, he came to my room to wake me up for our trip to the forest. I watched as the large tree trunks passed by my window as he expertly drove around the curves and bends in the road, occasionally turning to glance at me. We had been quiet, sipping on the water in my travel cup taking it all in."Lockebrooke Forest," Kieran said with a whistle as he looked away from me and back through his windshield. "This forest must hold a lot of secrets. I'm interested to know how this Seraphina woman has survived in the woods for so long.""I know," I said, raising my eyebrows and placing my cup down. I continued speaking, uttering a question I was afraid to ask, "What do you think will happen?""I'm not sure, Ember," Kieran said with a concerned voice. "I think it's good that we prepared the others in ca
*Kieran*I ate my stew after we filled our bowls, eyeing Seraphina carefully. I didn't want to make any sudden moves or say the wrong thing that could make her further distrust me as a dragon. I was hoping there was some way we could convince her to teach Ember. Ember seemed quieter as well as she ate her food. Seraphina was telling us a story about a time when Verona was teaching her a complicated spell."Then she passed me the ball of fire she had made and yelled, 'Catch!'" Seraphina gestured as if she was throwing a ball at Ember. Ember and I couldn't help but chuckle. It sounded like the two had been very close. Although I wondered who Ember's father was and why her mother hadn’t told his identity to her best friend. Perhaps this would have to remain a mystery. For now, I was just happy to know that Ember had more information about her birthright and who she truly was. Even if it was a little awkward interacting with someone who despised dragons, this trip had been worth
*Ember*We drove past the gate as we made it safely onto the castle grounds after visiting Seraphina. I felt drained emotionally and physically and I barely registered the fact that Kieran had pulled into the castle's large garage filled with everyone's cars. He parked the car and turned it off, twisting his body toward me. "So," he started to say as he looked me up and down. "What did you think about that excursion? What did you think of Seraphina? I’m sure you weren’t expecting her to have been good friends with your mother.""Um, a mix of good and bad? I guess? And I had no idea my mom and her were friends." I grimaced and shrugged. "I really wish Seraphina would agree to train me. I'd learn more spells and skills from her faster than I have currently been learning. She seems like such a wise person."Kieran eyed me curiously as I explained my feelings to him. He fiddled with a few buttons on his car distractedly as he watched me, and nodded in response, "I understand. I co
*Kieran*I was having a wonderful dream of Ember's slender legs wrapped around my head and shoulders. She was quivering under me in pleasure as I licked all over her pussy planning on sucking her dry. She was calling out my name with desire and she moaned as she tightened her legs around my head. I liked having her right where I wanted her, making sure she couldn't leave before the waves of pleasure washed over her."Do you like that, baby?" I asked her looking up from her pussy for a second."Kieran," she said breathlessly, locking eyes with me. "Can you please just join me already? I want you.""You don't have to ask me twice, although I like hearing you beg," I grinned but I listened to her request lining up at her entrance. "Are you ready for me, baby?""Yes," she nodded, opening her legs wider. "Please.""Good girl," I said and slowly dipped the tip of my dick into her."Oh, that feels… so good, Kieran you feel incredible," she moaned under me as I pushed my entir
*Kieran*As promised, Nola, Zephyr, and Thorne met me in the study and we all stood apprehensively over a map of the Burning Isles. The tension was heightened and we were quieter than usual thinking about the drastic situation in our homeland. My uncle had finally lost all of his marbles and was killing any dragons or humans even looking at him the wrong way. When even a hint of a threat to his power crossed his mind, my uncle had always been quick to action and slow to think things through. Growing up under his rule as a young dragon, my uncle tried to control me in every aspect of my life. He used me to carry out cruelty on our citizens in the Burning Isles and I hated him for it. It gave dragons a bad rep, and humans often cowered around us. They would avoid us like we were some sort of plague.It was my intention that someday I would change the way dragons were viewed and hopefully change the way dragons thought of humans. Just because they weren't as powerful as dragons
*Ember*I watched the blue fire dance in my hands as I swayed my fingers back and forth. I was proud of what I had accomplished this week while practicing my fire magic. With Nola's guidance, I had read through Seraphina's books and found spells that were for beginners. I had started making headway and I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.I felt like I had almost some form of writer's block, but in this case it had been fire magic block. With that gone, now I was free to try magic spells without being bogged down. I had finally made progress with my training. If anyone tried to attack me now, I had gained control over my powers, and I was a force to be reckoned with.I grinned over at Nola as we stood outside near the gardens. She smiled back at me."I can tell you are proud of yourself, Ember," she laughed as I bounced the blue fire flame from one hand to the next. "And I'm proud of you too.""Thanks Nola, I can't help but feel a little more confident now,"
