I Have Mixed Feelings About This...

Flames blaze my way in a sideways cyclone of death.

With no other options, I brace myself for the heat.

Yet, it still whips me as if it was my mistress in her dungeon-

It beats me until I relent, and lay myself at Its feet.

When it's over, I crack my eyes open.

I stare at the gigantic beast in front of me.

Black scales cover it from snout to tip of tail.

Danger, my brain whispers cautiously.

Gold eyes watch me in confusion.

I guess it expected me to burn easily.

It lowers its head and sniffs my person.

A little too close to my sexual necessities.

I make a sudden dash for the exit.

It trips me with its tail, and I land the opposite of gracefully.

I feel fire flare its warmth at my back.

I turn to glare at the beast, but in its place stands a man made from lonely night's dreams.

He's as naked as the day he was... hatched.

A flush fills my face and I cannot attest it to the heat.

He crouches down near my person.

His pitch hair falls around his body and to his feet.

He opens his mouth and a deep, smoky voice escapes.

"Why won't you burn, morsel?" I shrug, as my future looks bleak.

He flashes a sinful smile; I stare entrancedly.

Some people might be concerned with the Dragon's tail, but right now, I'm more worried about the Dragon's teeth.
