Forbidden Love With The Dragon Prince

Chapter 5

COLD!

That's what I felt, so I snuggled deeper between the tree roots, looking for all the warmth I could get, using my long hair as a cover, but I was still cold.

I'm used to cold, I stay underwater afterall, but this was . . . different.

Then I heard it.

It was kind of a snorting sound.

Whatever it was must be huge because the sound shook the forest floor, making me tremble in the process.

I opened my eye to look around, trying to figure out what it could be, but I was in for a shocker.

There was light snow on the floor.

What?!

This is the middle of summer, how come there is . . snow?

I heard it again, this time around, it lasted longer than before, when I looked towards the sound, I was in for another shocker, because I laid my eyes on the most mesmerizing creature I have ever seen.

"A snow dragon" I whispered to myself.

I have read about them, but I have never set my eyes on one, except . . now.

I uncurled slowly, standing to my full height, it stood way higher than me, a few feet away, I'm sure it's eyes widened when I got up, but I couldn't be too sure.

it's sapphire blue eyes was enchanting, just like something out of the books, but what was more captivating was it's pure white scales, the early morning sun glinted off it, causing it to reflect different colours of the rainbow.

It was a great site to behold.

I was drawn to the sheer beauty of the sight in front of me.

My legs moved on its own Accord towards it, I stretched my hand to touch it and I was surprised when it leaned into my touch, snorting in the process and spraying me with a thin layer of ice.

"An ice dragon, what a privilege to meet one" I cooed.

Ice dragons were the rarest of dragon species, from the book I had stumbled upon about mystical creatures in our school library, they appeared once a century and outlived every other dragon species, so they were considered royalty and treated as such.

The dragon felt cool to the touch and I felt a sensation passing through me as I glided my hands on its smoothe scales.

"Oh mother of the seas and all that lies within, how did you end up here?" I wondered trying to wrap my arms round it's huge neck.

The dragon snorted again and changed into a handsome butt naked young man, making me jump back as he had a good chuckle.

I took the time to appraise the young man in front of me, he was about 21, 6"1 with perfect square shoulders, a ruggedly handsome face, shinny blonde hair, almost white, but the most distinguishing feature was his sapphire blue eyes which he shared with his dragon, with a straight nose and full pink lips and a set square jaw.

You could say, he was drop dead gorgeous.

My eyes strayed to his washboard abs and small waist, try as I may, I didn't want my eyes to wander below the waist , but they had their own will and I blushed furiously at the huge appendage hanging to his mid thigh.

This is the first male anatomy I have ever set my eyes on, but this looks way bigger than what I have seen in our biology books.

"See what you like?" he said with a smirk, making my eyes snap back to his, and my blush deepen impossibly.

"Ahem . . . sorry, didn't mean to stare."

"You can stare all you want, I don't really mind." he said , trying to suppress his laughter. " I could do a pose if you like." he folded his arms, jutting his hips out in a sexy pose, mirth filling his eyes.

I rolled my eyes at him in a 'I don't really care' kind of way.

"You surprised me is all." I tried to defend my actions, but my blush stuck like a second skin.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it, you were busy admiring and dishing out praises to the wrong half, I only wanted to show you the better looking one." he said, buffing his chest.

" I still think he is the more handsome one of the pair." I say with my own smirk.

" Ouch, you hurt me right here" he was mock sad, rubbing his chest.

"I'm only being truthful" I shrugged, trying to hide a smile.

" You must be the mean witch that hunts this forrest." he said, looking like a little child whose being denied his favorite toy. He looked so cute and I couldn't resist bursting into laughter, which he joined.

He made me forget my predicament for a moment as we goofed around.

" Seriously, what is a beautiful girl like you doing here all by herself?" he asked seriously after a while, gesturing around.

" hem . . I got here first , so you tell me what you're doing here." I countered, not ready to relive the pains I had felt for the betrayal of my mate and sister.

"But I asked first" he whined.

"If I got here first, that means I own the place, so technically, you're on my lands, so you first." I said, raising my chin.

He stared at me for a bit, then nodded with a smirk on his face as he spoke.

"I live in the mountains just over there" he pointed North. " My mother's birthday is in a couple of days, so I decided to fetch her her favorite flowers, just that it doesn't bloom in the mountains in this season, so I flew out here to try my luck.

From above, I caught sight of something that looks like it, but when I got down here, I was distracted by a distinct scent, which my dragon picked up and started snorting, he wouldn't let me take control, claiming we could be in danger, it wasn't till you magically unfolded, and he realized that the scent was yours . . . . Why are you crying? did I say something wrong?"

Bradley

My mother loved bluebells for a reason, and she has been nothing but awesome, I felt I should surprise her with it this year, but all efforts to get it proves abortive. Even the enchanted cave didn't have it and for some weird reason, I decided to look for it outside our enclave.

It's dangerous I know, but what wouldn't I do for my mom?, though I'm not complaining since it has led me to this beaut right here.

I have never seen this colour of hair, it's so enchanting, and the way the morning sun glints off it, is mesmerizing, the lady herself is a beauty with her warm honey coloured eyes and pink lips that looks like a petal in bloom.

Just checking her out was making me hard, thankfully I was still in dragon form so it wasn't showing. Surprisingly, she smelled of bluebells, which must have distracted my dragon, but when she stretched out her hand to touch him, I was shocked and intrigued that he leaned into her.

My dragon is very proud, and doesn't allow people close, not to talk of touching him, but his reaction to this girl makes me think he might want to imprint her as our mate, this thought makes me take over and shift so as not to scare her since she looks so young, not a day above 18, but the quick change actually scared her and somehow, that was funny to see.

Her blush made her look sooooo cute, but that didn't stop her from checking me out and I decided to tease her for it.

She took it in great stride, and her playful nature made me more attracted to her. We goofed around a bit but I was getting hungry and decided to ask about her so I could get her to safety before leaving the forest, but she tactically avoided to answer and turned the tables around instead. Hmmm, she has good leadership skills but she doesn't know it yet, but somehow I was nervous, and when I'm nervous, I tend to blabber, and while I was blabbering, I saw tears run down her face, that was what drew my attention.

" . . . Why are you crying? . . did I say something wrong?" she shook her head furiously as she tried to control her sobs.

" It . . It's just that today is my birthday. . sobs . . an . . and it was meant to be a happy day, b . . but, I'm here in the middle of nowhere. . trying to figure out my life." she looked so sad and broken, I couldn't help but take her in an embrace.

She continued to sob, sounding broken, I tried to comfort her best I could, somehow, her sadness made me very sad, I don't know her story, but I felt this strong urge to protect her from whatever may be troubling her.

" Erm, . . listen, erm , what's your name? " I asked awkwardly, we had been gusting for over 20 mins and we didn't even know our names.

"Manny"

"Okay Manny, I'm Bradley, but you can call me Brad." She nodded, not lifting her head from my chest. " I know you're hungry, and it seems you've been out here on your own for a while, I would like to take you back to my place and we can sit and talk after a warm meal, is that okay?" I asked as she lifted her head from my chest, looking at me warily as if it just occurred to her that we just met.

" Look, I'm not going to hurt you, and for some weird reasons, my dragon likes you . . a lot, he doesn't let people close, talk more of touching him, but he allowed you to touch him and actually leaned in to your touch, which means he won't let me hurt you even if I tried." I tried to assure her.

She nodded gently and her features softened a bit, but she remained silent, thankfully, she had stopped crying.

" I will change back, and then you will climb my back and hold on for the ride of your life okay?" She actually gave me a small smile as she nodded.

Here goes nothing.
