Later that night Dakota tried to sleep but every time she closed her eyes Memories flooded her mind, the pain she had tried so hard to forget rushing back. The attack had opened old wounds, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

Draidens felt her heartache resonate within him; he could hear her quiet sobs as they filled the room with a haunting melody. He gently moved a stray hair from her face, his heart swelling at her vulnerability. "What's wrong sweetheart?" he asked softly, his voice barely above a whisper.

Twisting in his arms, she faced him, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I just miss them and then you getting hurt" she sobbed, her voice breaking. Gripping onto his shirt, she buried her head into his chest, the weight of her grief crashing over her like a wave. For the first time in a long time, she allowed herself to succumb to the pain that had been locked away.

Draidens held her tighter, his heart aching for her loss. "I know, I miss my sister as well," he murmured, wishing he could take away both their sorrows and memories of the attack.

After a while, Dakota pulled away slightly but didn't let go. She looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with desperation. "Make me forget! Please, Draiden, take the pain away."

His green eyes flashed with a mix of desire and concern. "Dakota..." he started, his voice deep and husky, thick with emotion. The heat of the moment swirled around them, and he could feel her body pressing against his, igniting a fire within him.

She shifted against him, her breath coming in soft murmurs. "Please, Draiden," she breathed, the plea laced with longing. The heat radiating from her body sent shivers down his spine, and he felt the undeniable truth of their connection.

In that moment, Draidens was torn between wanting to protect her from the pain and embracing the passion that surged between them. He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her forehead, feeling the warmth of her skin. "Okay, love, Lets forget" he said softly, his breath mingling with hers.

Dakota's fingers tangled in his hair, urging him on as she surrendered to the sensations that enveloped her. The world outside faded away, leaving only the two of them in this cocoon of heat and desire. Draiden's hands roamed over her back, his touch both gentle and possessive, pulling her closer as if he wanted to merge their bodies into one.

Draiden's hands explored her body with a reverence that made her feel cherished. He trailed his fingers along her sides, brushing over her skin, igniting a trail of fire that followed in their wake. The sensation was intoxicating, and Dakota arched her back, craving more of his touch.

"Tell me what you want," Draiden urged, his voice a low growl that sent another shiver through her.

"I want you," she replied, her voice thick with desire, her heart pounding in her chest. "I want all of you."

With a heated gaze, Draiden captured her lips again, the kiss deepening as he pressed against her, their bodies moving together in an instinctive rhythm. The heat between them surged, an undeniable force that pulled them closer, igniting every sensation, every desire that lay dormant within them both. Draiden's lips traveled down her neck, kissing and nibbling, as if he were savoring every inch of her. Each kiss sent electric shocks through her body, amplifying her desire and leaving her breathless.

Dakota felt herself melting into the softness of the sheets, her body responding eagerly to his every touch. She could sense the wave of passion building between them, a tidal force that threatened to sweep them both away. Draiden's hands were a map of fire, tracing the curves of her body, igniting every sensitive spot.
