Chapter Eight

Luke kept an eye on the weather and when it was clear the next day, excitement ran through his veins. He wrapped his arms around Grey. “We can go flying today.”

“But...what if I fall off?”

“There’s a spot for you that’ll be perfect. You won’t fall.”

He could feel his pet’s doubt and worry and excitement, all blended together.

He turned Grey in his arms and cupped his face. “Trust me.”

“I do. I’m just... This is a new one.”

“You’re dreaming about flying, though.” Luke rubbed their noses together. “I’d go by myself, but I don’t want to leave you home alone. It’s an amazing thing, anyway. You should enjoy it.”

“I want to come. I don’t want you to go without me. I’ll get bundled up.”

“You don’t need to wear anything if you don’t want to. I’ll keep you warm.” He knew once they were connected nothing could reach his boy. He started to strip himself, so as not to ruin his clothes.

“It’s bitter cold out there, Luke. I’ll get frostbite. You must not feel it.”

“I’m a dragon, remember? I’m built for it. And that will extend to you. You don’t have to believe me, though. I’m not going to force you to ride me naked.”

“I’m not freezing my nuts off, you crazy old man.”

“Your loss and I’m only old compared to you.”

“How old are you?”

“I don’t know exactly. Maybe nine hundred years old.”

Grey looked at him with wide eyes. “Wow. That’s... How could I ever be someone you wanted to talk to?”

“Don’t you know you’re fascinating?”

“Like I have anything to offer you. You’re...you’re a fucking dragon.”

“And you’re my soul mate. That makes you pretty special.” Luke grabbed his arms and tugged Grey in for a kiss. Grey pressed closer, emotions a swirl around him. Goddess, he really could do this forever.

He slowly stripped Grey down, then led them outside. Grey didn’t have to strip down to skin, but he didn’t want his bonded getting all decked out for winter—he’d never feel all the wonderful things like that.

Grey followed him, staying close.

“You ready for another encounter with my dragon side?” He made sure Grey was steady, then took a couple steps back.

It took only a thought, his wings sprouting from his back, his body expanding, changing.

Grey stared at him, shivering violently. “Hey, toothy wonder.”

He snorted, the steam from his breath rising up in the air. Bending, he offered his leg for Grey to climb up. You can do this.

“Okay. It’s cold, huh? And you’re stunning.”

Thank you. Climb on and you’ll have my warmth.

God, I hope so. “You got it.”

Trust me. He snorted out more steam and waited patiently for Grey to climb up onto his back.

Grey got up, shaking against him. What if I can’t do this? What if I can’t straddle him? What if I fuck this up?

You can do this. You were made to do this. Lean in against my neck. Grey should warm soon.

“Like this?” Grey leaned down against him, relaxing with a sigh.

There, perfect. See?

“Yes. Yes, you’re so warm.
