“He is. He’s grown so much stronger these past few weeks,” she says.
I eye the scaly beast. He is a lot bigger. His head is almost the size of Little Kitten. In fact, I think he could swallow her down in one mouthful. The dragon stares right back at me, his tail flicking up and down like a cat’s. And I know what that means. The dude will buck me off as soon as I attempt to board him. There’s no way in hell I’m riding that thing.
“Please, Dray.”
I flick my gaze back to the Little Kitten and she’s giving me the eyes, all green and irresistible.
“Yeah, sure,” I say causally, “why not?”
“Thank you,” she says, reaching up on her toes and kissing my cheek, making smoke bellow out of the dragon’s nostrils.
“No problem,” I say, trying not to notice the way my legs shake as I stroll over to the others and tell them the news.
“I’ll fly with Briony,” Beau says.
Flying on a dragon has been my bond brother’s wettest of dreams ever since I’ve known him. It’s taken every bit of his self-control not to beg Briony to let him ride Blaze. I could step aside and let him take this opportunity. But I’m not going to.
“Sorry, dude, she asked me to go with her.”
“You don’t even like dragons,” he grumbles.
“I do. I just think wolves are better.”
Beaufort scowls at me and I grin right back.
“I’ll meet you in Halworth,” I say.
“For fuck’s sake, fly safely. No deviations, no getting the dragon to do somersaults or other crazy shit.”
“Moi?” I say innocently, pointing to my chest.
“Yes, you. Just get her there safely. We’ll be waiting for you with the soldiers.”
I give Beau a little salute and then I return to Briony. She’s already standing by the dragon, ordering the guards to take off his chains.
“Didn’t you hear the woman? Let the dragon go.”
The guards respond to my orders and with a lot of caution release first his ankle cuffs and then his muzzle. Immediately the dragon swings about, snapping his jaws at the guards.
“Blaze, stop that!” Briony yells and for once he does. “Come on, we’re going.”
He lowers his head and the Little Kitten scrambles up onto his back.
“You coming?” she calls down to me.
At least ten pairs of eyes are watching me. I can’t chicken out now. With as much swagger as I can muster, I follow her up onto the back of the dragon. His large golden eyes follow my path and he growls lowly, the sound rumbling all through his great body.
“Don’t be rude,” Kitten tells him as I settle down behind her. “We need Dray to show us the way.”
I wrap my arms around her waist and shuffle forward so my body is pressed up close to her soft, pliable one. Then I snuggle my nose into her neck where her scent is most intense. Seemsthis flight won’t be as bad as I thought it would be. It definitely has its advantages, my hardening cock wedged up against her ass being just one.
“Do I need to tell you to behave too?” she whispers to me, as the giant dragon lifts its head and spreads its wings out wide.
“You can try,” I whisper back, “but you know I won’t.”
She sighs – a sound I think is half filled with irritation, half with desire.
Yeah, this flight is definitely going to be fun.
