He brought that beautiful mouth to her lips, but only teased her with a whisper of a kiss. He then ducked his head to the juncture of her neck. She gasped as the sharpness of his teeth grazed her throat.

The Blood Curse

Ravana pulled Layla who struggled against him with all her strength through the chamber and toward the door she’d tried to escape through earlier.  


He kicked it open with ease and tugged her inside. It was like walking into a cave of stone and death. Past the expanse of rock on the other side of the chilly, dank room was a stone slab large enough for a human to lay across. Layla’s heart dropped in her chest when she realized that she recognized the room.


It was the same stone chamber from her vision, where Ravana was going to stab her with the dagger. 


“No!” Layla screamed, pulling desperately at her wrist that was trapped in Ravana’s brutal grip. “Please, don’t do this!” 


Terror ripped through Layla as Ravana ignored her pleas and continued to pull her toward the stone dais. 


“It is your destiny, Layla,” he said in an emotionless voice. “It always has been your destiny.”
