Every man I take to my bed forgets me by morning.
I remove the memory myself. Clean, permanent, and I have never once failed.
Then my Court sends me into a room with a dragon.
He is the last of his line and the oldest enemy my kind has.
He has personally guaranteed the good behavior of a prisoner the rest of us would rather see buried, and nobody has been foolish enough to doubt his word in centuries.
My Court wants someone there to watch him keep it.
Someone who will report the moment he doesn't.
He picks me.
I have wanted him dead since before I knew his face.
He doesn't seem to care.
He watches me, and he notices the things a man notices about a woman.
Then I do the one thing I should never have done and let him too close.
I already know how the night ends.
I reach into his mind to take myself out of it, the way I have with every man before him.
Nothing happens.
For the first time in my long life, a mind stays shut to me. He remembers all of it.
He sees the things I have always kept hidden, and I can't do a thing about it.
It doesn't change what he is. It doesn't change what I was sent to do.
Then the deal he guaranteed starts coming apart.
He could walk away. Instead, he keeps his word, and it costs him everything, piece by piece.
And when my Court asks what I've seen, I tell them.
I should enjoy watching him fall. I've waited lifetimes for it.
I don't enjoy one second of it.
By the time he has nothing left, he's the only person who has ever wanted to know me. The things I hide. The things I make everyone else forget.
And I've been alone long enough to know what that's worth.
But I'm the one who helped put him on his knees.
And I'm the one who decides whether he gets back up.
