'How far did he go for me exactly?' Florian stared at Azure, gently stroking the small dragon's smooth scales. 'And why?'
Why?
There were so many why's spinning in his head now. Questions without answers. Emotions he didn't know how to name.
And it all came back to one person—Heinz.
The king was starting to mess with his thoughts—twisting them in ways that made Florian deeply uncomfortable. He wanted to say it was all just leftover feelings from the original Florian. That it wasn't his.
But... it didn't feel that way.
It hadn't felt that way since he woke up. Since that night.
Since they—
Florian shut his eyes for a moment. 'I should feel more regret. I should be shocked... furious even. I lost my virginity to Heinz.'
Well, his virginity using Florian's body.
But he wasn't furious. Or maybe he was, just not in the right ways.
Heinz had asked him for sex—in exchange for helping him communicate with the God who had once helped him. And Florian had agreed.
He had agreed.
