The bridal chamber was more extravagant than Senya could have ever imagined. It was a marvel of underwater architecture, with glittering coral and pearl formations adorning the walls and ceiling. A grand bed, canopied with sheer seaweed curtains, stood in the center of the room, beckoning her to step closer.
But as Senya approached the bed, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust. She was here to marry a stranger, a dragon king no less. She had been sacrificed by her own village, along with her best friend, in exchange for the dragon's protection. And now, she was expected to consummate this forced union.
As if on cue, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a woman, but with scales that shimmered like the ocean's depths. Senya recognized her as the dragon king, Sharun.
"I see you've arrived," Sharun said, her voice like a gentle ripple. "I'm Sharun, your husband."
Senya couldn't help but scoff. "Husband? You're a spoiled brat who's never heard the word 'no'."
Sharun's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Oh, is that so? I dare you to find a single bride who's said 'no' to me."
Senya's determination flared. "Fine. Then tell me, what happens to the brides who refuse you?"
Sharun's grin was mischievous. "They're sent to a better kingdom, where they live happily ever after."
Senya's anger dissipated, replaced by confusion. She had no reason to return to her village, which had abandoned her. And Sharun wasn't the monster she had imagined.
Sharun took Senya's hand, leading her to the bed. "As husband and wife, we should consummate our marriage."
Senya pulled away, her heart racing. "But we're both girls."
Sharun's response was unwavering. "It doesn't matter."
Senya felt a strange mix of fear and excitement as Sharun began to undress her. She wondered if Sharun had done this to the other brides, but Sharun assured her that she was the only one.
As Sharun's gentle touch explored her body, Senya felt a fire within her that she had never known. She responded in kind, discovering a newfound connection with Sharun.
As the night progressed, they shared intimate moments, learning about each other's desires and fears. Senya realized that she had found a new home with Sharun, a sense of peace she had never experienced before.
As Senya fell asleep in Sharun's arms, she felt a sense of protectiveness and love from her new partner. She knew that together, they would conquer any obstacle that came their way.
