Naga Boyfriend Yaruth (special preview)

The massive naga was curled up in the sunshine of my little mossy nook. His long black tail was coiled around himself but his thick, muscular arm hung out over the side with his head tucked underneath it. 

I scoff and roll my eyes. “Excuse me.”

The naga doesn’t move.

“Hey!” I reach out and push him. “Wake up. This spot is reserved.”

The naga groans and his coil tightens then relaxes. “Shut the fuck up and move along.” His voice has a heavy accent to make his deep throaty growl.

I stomp my foot and shove him again. His tail plops off the mound, showing off a coppery and gold underbelly. “I don’t ask for much. Just this stupid little spot of moss. You can get comfy anywhere so why don’t you just move along and let me have my spot back?”

The naga snarls and rises from his sleeping position. He turns and looks at me, his face more snake-like than the other nagas I’ve met. He looks chiseled from onyx with melted gold running like veins all over his body. A hood snaps open around his head, showing off golden and amber markings that resemble the death masks hanging around the village gate. 

His mouth opens to show off his gold fangs and he hisses in my face.

I scowl at him. “Your breath smells like bad fish. I’ve seen scarier!”

His hood droops and he rears back. He stares at me, the gold bangles on his wrists jangles. He then leans forward again, his shimmering eyes narrowing on me.

He twists his body and comes closer to me. “I have venom, you know?” His voice is low and I suppose he’s trying to sound threatening.

“I can hit you until it kills me,” I snap back at him. 

His eyes widen and he stares long and hard at me. Our faces are inches apart. I know I should be scared, quite possibly pissing myself. But I am so fed up and frustrated with everyone and everything in the village I am willing to fight this naga who is possibly ten times stronger than me and twice my size.

He sniffs around my head and I swat him away. “I’m going to start charging you if you don’t move.”
