Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: A Princess in Chains

The heat struck first. Not gentle warmth, but a living fire that curled through the stone corridors beneath the old castle—ancient and forgotten, swallowed by the mountain's throat. Lucas stepped into the gloom, and the scent of ash, sweat, and something hauntingly feminine coiled around him.

Torchlight flickered against iron bars and black stone. Magic hung in the air—older than the Lustborn sigil etched into his skin, deeper than the hunger in his soul. It was waiting.

She was waiting.

Lucas's boots clicked on obsidian as he reached the final cell. Inside, shackled by luminous dragonsteel that shimmered with spell-forged fire, knelt the prisoner.

She was impossibly beautiful.

Flame-red hair spilled across bare shoulders like molten silk. Bronze skin gleamed with a faint shimmer of inner heat. Her body, lithe and powerful, bore the grace of something forged in battle and seduction alike. Chains hugged her wrists and ankles, humming with runes meant to hold gods, not women. Yet her golden eyes—draconic and defiant—were awake, sharp, alive.

"So," she purred, voice a velvet flame, "they've sent a boy to die in my fire."

Lucas felt the Seduction System stir.

The words burned into his vision. Lucas blinked. Dragonkin… virgin… soul compatibility—ninety-four percent? She was a key. A crucial one.

Aurelia narrowed her eyes. "You're staring like a mortal who's never seen a chained goddess."

"I haven't," Lucas said softly, stepping closer. "But I've dreamed of one."

The moment crackled.

He stepped past the wards—no resistance. The Lustborn sigil flared on his chest, golden and crimson. Aurelia's gaze snapped to it. Her breath caught.

"You wear the mark…"

"I am the mark," Lucas replied. "And I think you were meant for me."

Aurelia laughed. "Arrogant."

"Hungry," Lucas corrected.

He crouched before her, gaze level. "Do you want to burn forever in this place, Princess? Or do you want to be claimed by something older than fire?"

Her lip curled—but her body trembled.

Lucas reached out, brushing her cheek. She didn't flinch.

"Touch me again, mortal," she whispered, "and I will either kill you or kiss you."

"Good," Lucas murmured. "I'd like both."

Then he kissed her.

Heat exploded.

Her lips were fire—wild and consuming. Her tongue tasted like molten cinnamon and war. The chains rattled as she strained toward him, pressing bronze skin to his chest, her breath ragged and hungry. Magic rippled from her core. Sparks bloomed in the air.

Lucas's hands slid down her sides, fingers mapping the ridges of her strength, the curves of untouched skin. He felt the power beneath—ancient, wounded, virgin.

His touch found her lower back—one of the listed pleasure paths.

Aurelia gasped.

Flames shot up the walls. The ground shook.

"You…" Her voice cracked, unsure for the first time. "You're doing something to me."

"I'm waking what was always there," Lucas whispered, pressing her gently to the stone.

The fire was everywhere, but it didn't burn him. It bent around him—obeying.

"Please," she breathed, eyes wide. "I can't… I've never…"

"I know."

He pulled her wrists forward, kissed the metal cuffs, and the chains melted.

Her legs spread instinctively, heat pooling beneath her thighs like lava finding its path. Lucas's mouth moved down, tracing fire-born skin with divine hunger. Her inner thighs trembled as he reached the second pleasure path, tongue flicking against sensitive flesh.

Aurelia screamed—a sound of rage, ecstasy, and freedom.

Her climax shook the chamber, unleashing waves of flame that consumed her restraints. Runes shattered. Wards crumbled. Lucas held her as fire bled from her skin—her magic now his, fused by divine lust and dragon soul.

When she collapsed against him, skin glowing and breath shallow, she was no longer a prisoner.

She was his.

"I… belong to no one," she whispered weakly.

"No," Lucas agreed. "You belong to yourself. But now, you burn with me."

Later, as the ashes cooled and Aurelia slept in his arms, Lucas opened the scroll tucked in the hidden chamber behind her cell. The Lust Goddess's sigil pulsed on the ancient vellum.

"When the first Lustborn awakens the flame, the dragon will kneel. And with her heat, the goddess's womb stirs once more…"

He read the line again. The air changed. Magic shifted.

Aurelia was more than a partner—she was a vessel.

A womb of flame for the divine rebirth.
