Chapter 5: A Sample Kiss

Mikel Diego:

I turned to see the pretty girl, and my jaw almost dropped when I saw her holding my bed drawer. Aaron was right when he told me she was skilled. Most of the humans we had captured were soft and afraid, but she possessed an aura of ruthlessness.

"Put the drawer back," I said calmly, not making any attempt to approach her.

I could hear her heart beating loudly in her chest. Even though she tried to act strong and unafraid, I knew her heart was feeling differently.

"No!" she exclaimed in a whisper, and I looked back at her as I calmly walked to my wardrobe to pick up my scattered clothes that she had thrown on the floor.

"Who are you, and what do you want from me?" she asked me, but I didn't reply.

"What do you want from my people, you beast!" she cursed at me, trying to hit a nerve, but I remained unfazed as her voice seemed enchanting and already turning me aroused.

I continued ignoring her and picked up my clothes, carefully putting them back into my wardrobe. I remembered that I had to be present for her auction; that couldn't be ignored. So, I decided to take my bath first.

"Can't you speak?" she questioned me, still holding the drawer she had removed, pointing it at me. I took off my shirt first, dripping with sweat, and her seductive voice was enticing me. She didn't know the extent of the effect she had on me.

"What are you trying to do?" she asked, panicked. I knew she was getting more afraid as she saw me stripped.

"Stop!" she rushed at me to attack, but my reflexes were faster, and I caught her small frame, carrying her up. Even though she was tall, she still didn't reach my shoulder, showcasing how tall we dragons were.

"You barged into my room. I should be the one questioning you, not the other way around," I told her. She struggled with me to let go.

"Put me down. How dare you touch me!" she breathed in fear, still clearly afraid.

My robe covered her large bosom, which I had seen before. They were beautiful and attractive, and I felt a desire to suck on them. Well, I am the King, and I know how to mate, even with humans. But Zuri never allowed me.

Zuri always monitored me. If Mother hadn't come to take Zuri away, I'm sure Zuri would have followed me into my bedroom and caught her in my chamber.

"Put me down!" she commanded with authority, still struggling against my strong grip. Instead, I pinned her to the wall.

"No," I whispered, seeing her lips part as if she was about to speak. Just staring at her lips made me want to kiss her natural pink lips - drawing me in, tempting me to kiss and suck on them.

"What do you mean by no?" she asked, meeting my gaze with her sharp, golden eyes. Her eyes reminded me of her sisters, especially the last one who looked so much like her, but Zuri refused to let me keep her and sold her behind my back.

"Do you want to know why?" I asked her, and she met my blue eyes, causing her to shiver.

"No," she said, looking away from me. I leaned in closer to her, still holding her against the wall.

"If you keep shouting, you will attract my mate here, and she won't hesitate to burn you to ashes," I informed her, but she did not seem shaken.

"Hmm..." she hummed, and I was still mesmerized by her sharp, golden eyes. It was rare to find such beauty shining like the sun.

"So, what do you want from me? Why am I brought here? I need to leave; please put me down," she begged.

"No," I said.

"Why?" she asked.

I kept staring at her pretty face, not wanting her to look away from me.

"I am King Mikel Diego, and I will make you my mate tonight," I told her. She still didn't react, her eyes burning into mine, and I liked it.

"What do you mean by mate?" she finally asked, meeting my blue eyes again. I felt the urge to kiss her instead.

"Come, let me show you an example," I carried her with both hands and laid her carefully on my bed, the sheets covering the clean bed. She screamed, "No! Let go of me!" Now that she understood what I meant.

Luna Lawson:

I was shocked when his strong hands curved around my curvy waist in a tight grip, slamming me against the wall.

I must admit, he was handsome, but I hadn't bargained for this.

He spoke of a mate, and I shivered. Next, he slammed me onto his bed to show me an example. No, he wanted to have sex with me, and his eyes revealed it all.

"No, let go of me!" I cried out, gripping his long blonde hair to pull his head away. Instead, he brought his face closer to mine, sealing his hot lips on mine, kissing me hungrily, shocking me to my core.

I froze as our lips met. My body and brain seemed to disagree with each other. Soon, my lips responded to his, and my body calmed as if I had been starved for warmth. The feeling was tantalizing, a mix of warmth and pleasure as his lips tasted like honey, and I kissed him back softly.

I had never realized that this was what those silly young ladies had been enjoying. But my experience was with a dragon man, the Dragon King himself.

"No!" my brain screamed, but my body betrayed me as the Dragon King continued to kiss me. His right hand moved down to touch my bosom, loosening the white robe wrapped around me as his lips stayed locked with mine.

He knew how to kiss, finding my weak spot, likely sensing I hadn't been kissed for so long.

Finally, his lips parted from mine, and as I opened my eyes and met his sparkling blue gaze above me, I managed to ask, "What just happened?" I bit my lower lip, savoring the taste of honey on his lips.

"I only wanted to show you a sample of what I meant by making you my mate," he said with a smile, still towering over me.

I felt the urge to pull him closer and kiss him again, but I remained numb and speechless.

My plans.

My revenge plans...

How would I fulfill the plans of killing this handsome man, especially when just one kiss made me lose my senses?

I was already confused, lying peacefully on his bed, watching him stand up.

He was a dragon, a reminder to me.

A Dragon King, and I was already paralyzed with love, wondering if I could bring myself to kill him.

No, Luna Lawson, this isn't you! Get up, rip his heart out - that's why you wanted to be captured in the first place. To save your people and generations to come. But here I was, lying on his bed like a fool, watching him stand up.
