Chapter 45: Dragon Dessert

Adeline

Adeline never thought about her death before. But at that moment, her long life flashed before her eyes. And nowhere in history was a guy who stood out as special. They were all a blur of faces and body parts.

Spots of darkness crowded her vision as the incubus on her spine grabbed her into a chokehold. No! She grasped his arm and, with her other hand, pushed against the floor, using his off-center weight to knock him out of balance. Then, as the blood returned to her brain, she threw back her head, breaking his nose.

His grip lessened, and she tucked her legs underneath her, shoving away his arm. Holding his nose, he fell off her. She leapt to her feet, but the other incubus blocked her path.

"Bloody bitch!" He grabbed her wrist, but she spun, kneeing him in the groin.
