Chapter Eight

Bennett was magnificent. That was all Penley could focus on, even though he really should pay more attention to Winter and his friend.

He didn’t know what Samuel’s presence would mean for Keylon, but he hoped the two of them would find an understanding. He’d already had enough of their bickering, and it had only just started. If they were going to be like this every time they were in the same room, Penley hoped Samuel wouldn’t be moving in with Winter.

Right now, Penley wasn’t even sure if Winter would be moving in. He was overwhelmed and probably didn’t know what to think of this. It wouldn’t be easy for him, and he’d need the support of the other dragons. Penley had no doubt Bennett would give it to him, but Winter might not allow it.

Everything was so complicated. Penley wished he could go back to a peaceful life, although he wasn’t sure what that looked like. His life had been peaceful before he’d first accepted Bennett as his shield, but he hadn’t been happy back then. It had been more peaceful during the past decades, but Bennett hadn’t been with him, and he didn’t want to go back to that, either.

Maybe Penley’s life wasn’t supposed to be peaceful. He was a mage, and it looked like his life would always be chaos. Deep inside, he didn’t really care as long as Bennett was with him.

Together, they could face anything thrown at them. Even if Carlyle attacked, even if somehow, the sky fell on their heads, as long as they worked together, Penley knew everything would be all right.

Jarvis had finally managed to convince Winter and Samuel to go inside. Everyone followed, but Penley stayed behind with Bennett, who hadn’t shifted back yet. Penley remembered Bennett’s dragon from before, but it had been a long time since he’d seen him.

Bennett’s dragon was a soothing light green. Penley had always enjoyed spending time with him in his dragon form. He’d never been afraid of him. Devon would never hurt him.

But Bennett wasn’t Devon, which meant that Penley couldn’t do what he would have done in the past. He needed to ask permission to touch Bennett. “Would it be all right if I touched you?” he asked.

Bennett grinned, showing Penley his fangs. As if that wasn’t answer enough, he bumped his head against Penley’s chest, almost sending him flying. Penley pushed back and gently rubbed his fingertips on top of Bennett’s nose.

“It’s been a while since I last did this,” he murmured.

Bennett rumbled and gave him another headbutt. Penley grabbed Bennett’s head with both of his hands and gave him a gentle squeeze. Then, feeling daring, he kissed Bennett’s nose.

“It’s a pity we don’t have a lot of time,” he said. “We should go inside with the others. I don’t want to leave Keylon and Samuel without supervision. Who knows how we’d find them if we did.”

Bennett huffed. A plume of smoke rose from his nostrils, and he opened his wings. Penley
