“The babysitters are here!” Dad announced as they walked inside.
“You two enjoy your evening out. Grandma and Pops have everything under control.” Mom started doing the dinner dishes.
“Mom, just leave those. We can get them later.”
“Nonsense, you know idyll hands don’t work for me,” she chided. “Take your mate out for a nice flight. Clear skies and lots of stars to soar beneath.”
Kyson shook his head at her. “Let’s go, Juni.”
I bundled up and even wrapped an extra blanket around myself just in case and met Kyson outside. He’d just stripped down and waited to shift until I was near. He knew how much I loved watching our dragon appear.
“There you are,” I rubbed his snout. “It’s been too long, dragon.”
Agreed. It’s time to stretch my wings.
I’m ready when you are.
His large talons wrapped around me with the utmost delicacy. As soon as I was situated, he took off at a run through the clearing and over the mountainside. Higher he flew, well above the tree line and I glanced down at the land we called home. My heart filled to overflowing with how at ease and comfortable I was here.
I missed nothing of my old life. I was right where I belonged.
Doing well, mate?
Never better, dragon.
We soared through the sky, at times so fast it stole my breath away, but I loved every minute of it. Casual dips and dives gave me tummy tickles. To not only know that dragons existed, but to be an integral part of their community, was beyond amazing.
If only my mother could see me now.
No, correct that. She doesn’t deserve to be a part of my life, nor do I want her toxicity anywhere near my babies. Not to mention our dragon may eat her.
Something funny, mate?
Just picturing you eating my mother.
Do we even want to know why you thought that?Kyson popped in.
Nope, I just know I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.
Good enough for us.
Keep in mind that option is always there. I hear humans taste just like chicken.
Dragon!Kyson and I scolded at the same time.
Just saying…
Huh, now I wondered if we really did taste like chicken.
Dragon landed in a clearing on a random mountaintop. As soon as I stood on my own, he shifted. “Lay the blanket down and let’s make love beneath the stars.”
“Someone’s pulling out all the romantic stops tonight,” I teased. “What if someone sees us?”
“What if they do?” Kyson peeled my clothes off then gently laid me down.
Skin on skin, gentle touches turned needy. Our bodies craved one another as if we were the other’s life source. If dragon lore was correct then in essence we were. I could never get enough of Kyson though when he was inside me it would remain my favorite.
Completely uninhibited, Kyson took me right there in this meadow beneath the stars. I felt our mate bond strengthen as though the fates were giving our mating the final seal of approval.
