Chapter 2
My eyes widened as I watched them grow visibly larger in my hands, horrified at how big they could get.
Face burning, I yanked my hands back like I’d just been electrocuted, scrambling to hop off the bed. But before I could escape, Draken’s arms locked around my waist.
He nuzzled against my back, murmuring in a soft, pitiful voice, “It hurts… Am I sick?”
His breath tingled against my back, and I felt a strange heat stirring low in my belly, rampaging into the walls. Before long, my body felt limp and weightless, and I couldn’t summon even an ounce of strength.
His hands roamed over my skin, fumbling and impatiently tugging at the chunky robe I wore. With a sharp rip, my robe split in two.
The cold air kissed my bare skin. I shivered as Draken’s overheated body pressed flush against mine, and a deep, comforted moan escaped his lips.
Face flushed, I froze and nervously braced myself, expecting him to take the final step. But all he did was cling to me, nuzzling and not making a single move.
That was when it struck me that he had no idea what he was doing at all!
My heart leaped. Just as I was going to guide Draken through every step, he let out a startled cry and shifted into a golden dragon.
His massive dragon form filled the bridal chamber as he hovered wildly in the air. With a crash, the glass shattered before he hurled himself through the window and darted out in a panicked escape.
He’d fled!
