It was a perfect night for Opal. The kind you dream about later and want to relive because you were so happy and everything was perfect in that moment.

The garden was beautiful, the dinner was delicious, and Aegis was hell bent on being decent and polite.

It was the first time she could ever remember the two of them sharing a polite dinner with so many people without a fight breaking out.

Was he actually learning to value others? She sipped her wine, feeling slightly heady, and wondered what was going on in that handsome head of his.

She knew now more of what had gone on. He’d gotten the other dragons to help him on Citrine’s advice. But that still meant he had gone to Citrine for advice. He was reaching out. And he was understanding her, because he realized she didn’t want to just be alone with him.

Although, seeing him so handsome there, breathtaking in his formalwear, his long, tall body torturing her behind so much clothing, she sort of did want to be alone with him.

Faye had said he talked to Ruby. What did that even mean? She went red and nearly snorted her wine at the thought of it, and Aegis turned his green eyes on her in concern. His blond hair was pushed back, looking windswept, and she wanted to run her hands through it and mess it all up.

He grinned, and she knew he’d heard her thoughts. In her slightly warm state, she’d probably been projecting them.

“That can be arranged,” he said, touching a lock of his hair.

She swallowed. “Um. Don’t know what you’re talking about.” She turned back to her drink, and he reached over and set it aside.

“You feeling okay?”

“Yes,” she said, taking it back. But then she set it aside on her own. If she was going to be with Aegis tonight, she wanted all of her senses about her. She wanted to see what he was like in that way. She wanted to know him. Biblically.

She turned to him as the others seemed to be wrapping up their conversations. Hallie was cuddled in Sapphire’s arms. Ruby and Faye were deep in conspiratorial conversation. Erin was leaning on Zach’s arm as he told a story to Diamond and Bridget.

“You ready to head upstairs?” Aegis asked, correctly reading her mood.

“If that’s where you’re planning on taking me, then I think so,” she said, standing as he pulled out her chair.

“Go Aegis!” Ruby yelled, slightly drunk, as his mate tried to stifle him.

Aegis scowled, but then they both broke into laughter as they said good night and started back toward the house.

Somehow it felt right to be the first to break away from the group. To go back alone over the soft, cool grass toward the house that was becoming their home.

“Are you sure?” he asked as they reached the bottom of the stairs and looked up toward his bedroom.

“I am,” she said. “I could have kept going this morning. After the kiss.”

He grinned, looking excited and uncertain and very much like the boy she’d loved.
