Sascha noticed Lysander’s regard and smiled, sweet and a little shy. Lysander loved that smile; it made him want to do wicked things to Sascha. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

Odd how much he liked the idea of a future with Sascha in it. He didn’t know Sascha. But he wanted to. He was intrigued by the man, and Sascha’s grace and compassion, his strength and bravery, only deepened Lysander’s fascination. And, yes, he wanted Sascha in his bed, soon and often.

For a lot of yesterday, I didn’t realize it was Friday, so my #FridayKiss was never shared. Oops. Here it is, a little late.

Sascha transferred his attention to the view outside the window again. He wouldn’t have been able to tell something so important was happening from the tranquil, everyday scene below. It created such an odd dissonance in him. Outside their little bubble, the world continued apace as if everything was normal. But today wasn’t normal. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

#FridayKiss from To Love the Dragon King

As soon as they were through the door, Lysander’s hands clasped Sascha’s shoulders. Sascha’s breath caught in his throat at the press of those large hands. At the heat of Lysander’s body along back. Lysander squeezed slightly, then ran his palms down Sascha’s arms, trailing warmth in his wake. As Lysander’s fingers tangled briefly with his own, Sascha let out a long shuddering breath. Lysander’s chuckle was soft, closer to a rumble of sensation than a sound but Sascha heard it, felt it. Lysander brushed Sascha’s hair aside and pressed a soft kiss to his neck, just above his collar, just behind the glittering fall of jewels at his ear. Jewels Sascha still couldn’t believe Lysander had given him. “Lysander,” he whispered. To Love the Dragon King

Felix’s words—and their tone, though Sascha couldn’t quite parse it—had him raising his head…and meeting Felix’s eyes in the mirror he’d forgotten was above the dresser. So much for hiding anything from Felix. Was that even possible? Felix always seemed to know everything. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

The king lounged in the throne-like chair, his muscular physique filling out the jacket and pants he wore in oddly distracting ways. The clothing wasn’t made for court, but it wasn’t made for fighting either, the cut and decoration simple but the fabrics high quality and the shade of blue rich and saturated. His hair was thick and dark, cut well above his shoulders, and his skin was a rich, dark tawny gold. Chiseled features and a closely trimmed beard made up a compelling face, and intense mahogany eyes, he saw when he straightened from his bow, studied Sascha. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

I couldn’t find anything with the #FridayKiss theme “destiny” so I went with “fate” instead—hope it’s close enough.

Sometimes, he marveled that Lysander had fallen in love with him, that he wanted to marry him. He remembered himself not all that long ago in a carriage ready to meet an uncertain fate with a man who would’ve treated him nothing like Lysander did. And then he let those memories go, put them aside in favor of a much better present. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

This week’s #FridayKiss theme is “hush” and I’m sharing a couple of lines from To Love the Dragon King.

Lysander dropped the towels to the floor and bundled Sascha into a dressing gown. Then he scooped him up in his arms and carried him out into the bedchamber. Only then did Sascha speak, and it was to protest. “Oh. No, you shouldn’t. Your arm—“ “Hush. My arm is fine, thanks to you.” To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

He didn’t have any claim on the king or his feelings, on permanence. Sascha couldn’t allow himself to begin down a road that included emotion or the possibility of it. Despite the odd sense of connection he was developing for the man. Something was developing between them, or maybe just in Sascha. He had no way of knowing what the king felt—no experience in these matters—but he could remind himself not to care too much about someone who would never be his.
