Chapter 95: Antivenom

Dr. Reeves rushes in, his pristine white coat a blur of motion. My hand throbs with each heartbeat, sending waves of rainbow droplets down my arm.

"Pulse elevated. Pupils dilated." His cool fingers press against my wrist. "Temperature already rising."

The ceiling spins in lazy circles above me. "Pretty colors." I watch another opal drop slide down my skin.

"Shock response initiated." Dr. Reeves' pen scratches across his clipboard. "Accelerated absorption rate due to serum integration."

My tongue feels thick. "What's happening?"

"Dragon toxin entering your bloodstream." He grabs my chin, tilting my face up. A bright light flashes in my eyes, making me squint. "Track the light."

I lean into his palm instead, his skin wonderfully cool against my heated face. The rough calluses on his fingers feel amazing.

"Stop that." He tries to pull away, but I follow the motion.
