High Heat Monster Romance

I came down into the dark with a camera against my ribs and a hand-drawn map a village grandmother pressed into my hands. I sat in his black long enough to feel him before I saw him — and I did not run. I lifted the lens. I let the shutter click. He is bull-headed and cloven-hoofed and twice my height, and he has held this valley against Ottoman raids and plague for four centuries. He does not lie about what he has done in these corridors. The bargain closes with my bloodline or not at all. I am the second daughter, and Goran says I am his.
