She could barely make out the shapes of his irises through his shades. It was enough she could tell the right one wasn’t human, instead forever stuck as the dragon’s eye. Reaching up, she touched the rim of the glasses, but he grabbed her wrist before she could remove them.

“Don’t,” he growled.

She tsked. “I’ve already seen what’s behind them.”

“Then why bother now?”

She shrugged, but didn’t avert her gaze. Honesty, Ash. You promised him the truth. Did it really mean she had to reveal her feelings to him? If she kept him at a distance, then the whole “seduce him” thing wouldn’t work. “I’m curious. Everything about you fascinates me.”

He stared at her through those shades. She thought he was going to push her away and go on the defensive. However, he released her wrist and waited. Slowly, she removed the sunglasses.

His right eye—the dragon’s eye—was crimson with streaks of gold running from the elongated pupil to the outer edge of the irises. The area around the eye was heavily scarred. In random places, the skin had been replaced by red scales with gold undertones.

She reached up and hesitantly touched his scarred skin with her fingertips. He flinched but didn’t pull away, just continued to watch her.

“Garrick did this?”

“Elizabeth did.”

Anger rose up in Ash and she wanted to go back in time and kill the female herself. “The bitch got what she deserved.”
