That Which Is Desired :: V: precious
Akio slept on the floor by the fireplace at the foot of Lord Falqon's large bed. The bed could easily suit three or four dragons, and was covered by luxurious fabrics and quilts in the deepest reds and violets. Falqon slept alone every night, however,...
That Which Is Desired :: IV: burnt
Xynon was a fine wolf. A damn fine wolf, if he did say so himself. When he joined the White Shadows pack, he was still green with summer, but he'd survived many a winter since. He shocked them all when he chose the sections of his black-furred body to...
That Which Is Desired :: III: planted
Anjel should have known better. He did, actually. He knew that going to his Lord's chamber and demanding answers would be a bad idea, but he had to know why. That was the question that got him into every mess in his entire life, but he had to know. Now...
That Which Is Desired :: II: poisoned
Akio had been under the impression that her time at Anjel's lair would be over come the daylight, but when she woke the dragon was nowhere in sight. There was a meager supply of bread and salted meat set out for her, along with a flask of warm, stale...
That Which Is Desired :: I: plucked
The white dragon was taller than even the largest wolves of the Moonstone pack. Small for a dragon, but impressive still at seven or eight feet. His scales shone with the iridescence of pearls, moonlight hitting what little of his form that was not...
Carnal Adventure: Maverick
I noticed her watching me halfway through my act. The lights were too dim for me to really get a look at her, but I liked what I could see. The tiny top she wore left little to the imagination, especially with the way she was leaning on the stage....
That Which Is Desired :: XI: palter
Anjel was curled up behind Akio, his long, heavy tail curled over her ankles, his warm body pressed against her back. He was running a talon up and down her side, smiling down at her. How simple it would be to just stay here in his lair forever, never...
That Which Is Desired :: X: precipice
The Icefire range was cold and hard, the mountains black and barren. Ice and snow cascaded over every ledge, making their climb treacherous and slow. Akio sat huddled in Anjel's cloak on the large brown horse as Anjel led it through the winding steps...
That Which Is Desired :: IX: prey
Anjel waited until the buzz of the camp went down, and later still, to be sure that everyone but the lookouts would be sleeping. He didn't show it outwardly, but he was quite worried about Akio's safety. Holed up in a tent, close with all of those...
That Which Is Desired :: VIII: penance
Akio was surprised to hear the herald call out Anjel's name. As the messenger dragon walked down the red carpeting, the idle chatter of the court grew silent. Akio's heart ached at the sight of him. Since they were interrupted by Glyph, she hadn't seen...
That Which Is Desired :: VII: break
_They gave me a fucking weapon._ Xynon could hardly suppress his glee. The sexy little dragoness from the closet, Samsara, was the one to dress him. The entire time, Glyph was in the room. While Xynon entertained far from innocent daydreams, the...
That Which Is Desired :: ?: possessed
I went about my business like a dragon possessed. My mind was stuck on her. I couldn't forget her heat, her voice, her scent. I was haunted, tortured by her memory. I reminded myself that she was probably--no, almost certainly--better off with...
