Ashes and Aether

Cael is a black dragon bred for war.
Kaelith? A sweet-smiling cook... with the blood of a long-lost race.

When Kaelith joins the empire's most elite exploration fleet, all he wants is to feed people and explore new flavors-
Not to drive his commanding officer into a possessive, primal rut.

But one taste of Kaelith's food ignites something deeper. Something ancient. Something feral.

Commander Cael Dravon doesn't just want him.
He needs him.

With every teasing glance, every shared meal, every accidental brush of fingers-desire burns hotter. Secrets unravel. Instinct takes over.
And soon, their quiet nights spiral into scent-marking, late-night visits, stolen touches... and a hunger that can no longer be denied.

He was never supposed to fall for a human.
Except Kaelith was never human at all.

Dominance. Devotion. Destiny.
In a galaxy ruled by dragons, he belongs to him-body, bond, and soul. Now, trapped between duty and desire, secrets and instincts, they must navigate the thin line between passion and peril. Because once a dragon claims his mate, there's no going back...

In the dark reaches of space,
Love isn't just explosive-it's cosmic.
