His hands clenched into fists next to his ribs. His arms shook with a terrible rage. His face screwed so tight she thought his head might explode as it reddened.

Then he roared, a loud, wall-rumbling roar that she didn’t think anything human could produce. It was monstrous, bone-chilling, and it immediately sent dread through her.

She even felt her face pale.

“FINE!” he yelled, turning from her to kick the boulder he was standing next to with the bottom of his foot.

It rolled slightly from his strength before he stormed away, roaring and yelling and snarling as he went.

Her arms loosened as she gaped at the open entranceway of the prison in shock. She hadn’t thought he would give in.

She truly expected him to close up the cell and leave her to rot.

She bested me!Rurik growled to himself as he stomped around his cave.

He let loose a ring of fire. Shifting back into his Dragon form, he started to take his anger out on the cave walls in the cavern that housed his waterfall.

I let her win!He dragged his claws along the walls before he let loose another roar. It was louder in this form, deeper, booming in this spacious area as it echoed off the walls.

His body shook while he tried to release the wrathful fury inside him. He stomped his large paws while swiping at any large, loose rock he could find so it would fling and crash into the walls.

All because she feels desire for me.He’d scented it when he had pinned her against the bed, small whiffs of it. He’d seen that she was not afraid of him, even as he snarled and yelled at her, and it had eventually made his cock harden.

I wish I had not played this trick on her.He may have been more determined to lock her away if he knew she didn’t hold lust for him.

Now she will freely use witchcraft in my home.And because he’d given her permission to do so, he couldn’t yell at her for it.

He placed his forepaws against his face.Why does she tempt me?Why was he giving in to this female who was a Witch? Giving her gifts such as her own room and freedom in his lair? Why was he allowing her to touch him and speak to him rather than treating her with cruelty like he would any other, even his own kind?

Why does she have to look the way she does?He thought about taking his claws to her face to rid himself of her beauty.

He paused with that idea in his mind, contemplating it.

It would not matter.Even picturing her with gouging marks, whether healed or bloody, didn’t take away his want of her. He also knew he would be angry with himself if he maimed the kind woman. He would deeply regret it if he harmed even a single, glossy hair on her head.

It is not her fault I want to fuck her.

Rurik stilled at that thought.

He had just witnessed her use magic right in front of his very eyes, had seen it, smelt it. And instead of being disgusted with her, his mind had finally told him what he’d been ignoring.

I want to bed her?!

Rurik roared, unleashing a row of flames at the ceiling, no longer sure he wouldn’t allow such a thing.

Chapter 15

Amalia listened to the Dragon unleash his fury inside his cave, his roars echoing against the tunnel walls while she sat in her room, trying to ignore it.

She’d never seen or heard him this mad before, and she wasn’t going anywhere near him until he was done... and maybe for a little while after that.

If he is so upset by it, why has he not changed his mind?

It had been going on forhoursnow.

The sounds of yelling and rocks being thrown made it all the way to the entrance of his cave. She feared it would collapse against his anger.

I cannot concentrate with all the noise he is making.Amalia tossed the book she’d been trying to read to distract herself with.
