The icy chill of the night permeated the room, lending it an almost ethereal quality.
In the semi-darkness, the only source of warmth was Lorik, lying beside me.
Our closeness was a contrast to the night before at the inn.
While the proximity then was out of necessity, tonight, it felt different; it felt like a choice.
With every breath, I took in the scent of him — a mix of metallic tang and an aroma that was uniquely his.
The allure was intoxicating.
Lying close to him, I could hear the rhythmic sound of his heartbeat, a reassuring reminder that he was here, with me.
Slowly, hesitantly, I let my hand trail over his body.
The scales felt cool to the touch, their intricate design something I’d never felt before.
They were smooth and glimmered under the pale moonlight that trickled in through the window.
The blue hue of his scales shone brighter, and I found myself marveling at the handsome creature beside me.
His long horns, protruding from his head, were another facet of his unique beauty.
I ran my fingers over them, feeling the intricate patterns and grooves.
They were surprisingly soft at the base and grew rougher towards the tip.
Suddenly, his hand met mine, and my heart skipped a beat.
The feel of his cool fingers against my warm skin sent a jolt down my spine.
With a gentle force, he pulled my hand away from his horn and down to his face, allowing my fingers to trace the curves of his jawline, his cheeks, and the bridge of his nose.
Our eyes met, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still.
The depths of his eyes seemed to hold an entire universe within them — galaxies and constellations that I’d never seen before yet felt familiar.
“Your touch,” he murmured, his voice deep and throaty, “feels different tonight. It’s… warmer.”
I let out a soft chuckle. “That’s probably because of how cold it is tonight. We’re each other’s personal heaters.”
He grinned at that, the corners of his eyes crinkling in a way that made my heart flutter.
We lay like that for a while, just enjoying the proximity and the intimacy of the moment.
The world outside seemed to disappear, leaving just the two of us.
Drawing me closer, I felt the coolness of his scales against my skin.
The feel of his heart beating against mine was exhilarating.
I breathed in his scent, the unique aroma that I was beginning to associate with safety, comfort, and… love?
His lips met mine, gently at first, then with growing urgency.
The taste of him was unlike anything I’d ever experienced — a mix of sweetness and a hint of spice.
I lost myself in the kiss, letting it consume me, feeling every ounce of passion and emotion he poured into it.
