Hell Beast

The Dragon

She tastes like fire.

It burns within me. It is beautiful. It is more than I ever could have hoped for. She is bright. She is perfect.

She pulls away, her eyes glowing golden. I then look her up and down. Her eyes are gold. Her hands now have short, sharp claws spawning from her knuckles. Her teeth seem slightly sharper, though it could be my imagination. Most notably of all, she has red dragon wings expanding behind her. Even her hair seems to glow redder.

She is beautiful.

I stand in shock, not knowing what to say. She smirks at me.

"You... You're..." I stutter.
"Yes. I'm a light borne. And you're dark, I'm assuming?"

I can only nod, my mouth agape. She giggles and places her hands on my waist. She slowly leans in and kisses me again. She is warm, making my cold heart melt. It is comforting.

We pull apart, and I can't breathe.

"Just relax," Liv says, caressing my cheek.

I tightly hug her. She hugs me back, kissing my forehead.

"You have no idea how badly I've been wanting that," I whisper.
"I know," she says back.

I sigh and look up at her. She smiles and gives me a soft, quick kiss.

"Don't worry. You're safe now," she says as she rests her head on mine.

"Okay," I respond.

We shift back into human form, and lace our hands together. We then begin to walk back towards my house, in silence. It is peaceful.

We reach my house and silently slip inside. The sun is nearly below the trees, the stars beginning to show themselves. We creep up to my room, careful not to disturb anyone.

I open the door and Liv goes directly to my closet, grabbing clothes. We both begin to change. As we change, I notice her toned muscles, the way her back flexes. I throw back the covers and crawl into bed, her coming in after me. She wraps her arms around me, enveloping my body in hers. I curl into her chest, feeling protected.

I have never felt safe before. But here in her arms, I feel at home. I feel alright. I feel untouchable.

She kisses my forehead, and I look up into her deep blue eyes. The sparkle back at me. I kiss her, passionately. I feel her smile against my mouth, and then kiss back.

It quickly becomes more intense. Her hands push against my torso, gently rubbing my stomach. My tongue slips into her mouth, and she softly moans as I run it across her lower lip. Her hand creeps down, touching the top of my pants. I quickly grab her hand and move it away.

"Let's save that for another time," I whisper to her, caressing her knuckles.
She nods in agreement.

She pulls me in, cuddling me again. I lay my head on her chest, a small smile spreading across my face. She gently rubs my back and kisses my forehead. I close my eyes, exhausted.

"Hey, Cameron?" Liv whispers.
"Yeah?"
"Um... I love you."
"I love you too."

I smile as she holds me, and we fall asleep to the sound of each others heartbeat.

-----

I wake up to Liv kissing my forehead.

"Morning, sleepyhead," she whispers.

I grumble in response. She giggles. I tuck my head under her chin. She gently rubs my back and cuddles me. I try to fight a smile, but fail.

I begin to think about how gorgeous she looks in true form. She's so warm and bright. I then think about the light cave. And then, the prophecy...

"Liv?" I ask, shooting up off her chest.
"What is it, sweetie?" She asks, concerned.
"Is there... A prophecy about you?"
"Yeah, why?"

I look at her, my eyes wide with shock and fear. It takes her a moment to figure it out.

"Oh, no," she whispers.
