Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

It has been about a week since Rory has come to live with us. There’s something familiar about her, and I need to talk to Draven about it. However, that talk will have to wait because Cassius is taking me somewhere. All I was told was to dress warmly and be prepared for some fun.

He scooped me up and carried me to his car. We drove for an hour or two through the Inbetween. As we emerged, I saw

snow and that’s when Cassius tied a scarf over my eyes. “Be a good little mate and don’t peek,” his husky voice resonated

with a sexy undertone. Maybe we are going to a ski lodge where he will ravage me before I roaring fire. I bite my lip and

blush at the thought. He only chuckles softly beside me.

Once we parked, he carried me out of the car and sat me down. I smelled popcorn, candy, meat, and all varieties of food.

I heard people laughing and screaming happily. “Open your eyes,” he said as he held my hand.

“A carnival! This is amazing! Thank you.” I kissed him, “I love you.” Winter carnivals have a special kind of magic that can

transport you to a world of wonder and fun. The crisp winter air, the twinkling lights, and the joyful laughter all combine

to create an atmosphere of excitement and joy. When my mate, Cassius, brought me here, I was thrilled at the prospect of

experiencing this magical event with someone who shared my enthusiasm for all things festive.

After I pulled away from our kiss, I was immediately struck by the vibrant colors and festive decorations that adorned the

event grounds. The scent of hot cocoa and freshly popped popcorn wafted through the air, enticing me to indulge in

these quintessential winter treats. Cassius led me through the maze of stalls and attractions, his eyes alight with
