The fireworks catch my breath. I feel the vibration of the explosion through my body and echoing inside my chest. The colors and shapes are breathtaking. One firework turns into the dragon emblem of Dracone. My hand flies to Maex’s shoulder in surprise.
“Did you see that?!” I turn to him, and our eyes meet.
He smiles. My insides melt. “I only see you”
I don’t breathe. “That is...you are a tease”
He laughs. “I’m telling the truth”
I furrow my brows. “There are flames in the sky and you are looking at me?”
“What else is there to look at?” he leans his forehead to mine. “The royals have never done anything for me”
I blink and my eyes land on his lips again. They’re full with a light sheen on them. “Royals?”
“What are you looking at?” he smirks.
I snap my eyes back to his eyes. heat
