The night seemed more vibrant than usual.

Weysh reveled in the warm air currents gliding across his wings. Yenni was perched firmly on his back, her presence a comforting heaviness. The clean, sweet, spice of her teased his nostrils from time to time. In that moment his dragon heart was swollen with contentment. As long as Yenni was near, he was happy.

The flight back took them over the lights of Imperium Centre. Weysh ducked and weaved, avoiding the tallest towers with the help of the signal rings, halos of multicolored light that warned of the towers’ presence. At one point two other dragons came cutting through the air from the other direction—Rosh and Sween, by the scent of them. They were brothers from the province of Ouet, just to the west, and like all the dragons out there, their green scales were tinged with blue. They had been in pretty much all of Weysh’s classes growing up. They let out sharp cries of greeting as they approached, which Weysh returned.

“Hello!” he heard Yenni yell from atop his back, and he could picture her waving frantically. Weysh wiggled his shoulders to warn her, and then angled his wings to let them descend, so the draft from the brothers wouldn’t buffet her.

“Good-bye!” his sweet Yenni called after them as they passed overhead. He made a small moan of disappointment as the spires of the academy crested the horizon. He didn’t want to let her down. Would she object if he took one more turn around the city?

In the end he decided against it. She’d asked him to take her back, so he would do so. Too soon he was angling for the walkway to her residence, lined with lush green trees backlit by magic lamps. He let her off and changed.

“There you are, lovely. Safe and sound.”

“Thank you,” she said. She gave him a strange little bow where she touched her fingers under her chin and nodded to him. Some gesture from her homeland no doubt. “Good night, Weh-sheh.” She started for the gate.

“Wait!” said Weysh. She turned, expectant.

“I just wanted to say that . . . you’re . . . incredible,” he finished lamely. Ah Movay, what was wrong with him lately? When had it ever been this difficult to woo a woman? He should tell her how bright and pretty her eyes were, how beautiful and smooth her skin. How her competence and confidence made him want to kiss her and touch her until she forgot her own name. Yenni turned back to him. The gate creaked in the distance as a soft breeze rustled the trees, and that was when he caught it: a familiar scent that Weysh knew well. Sweet, musky, and rich like cocoa—desire.

Emboldened, he stepped close to her, trapped her eyes with his. “You’re incredible,” he murmured again, stroking her silky cheek with his thumb. He leaned in and finally, finally claimed those enticing lips of hers.

Watcher above, her kiss was so warm and soft. Her mouth
