The Battle for Highwind

“All things considered, I preferred fighting the Inquisitrix and her army of fanatics back on a tropical island,” Valuri grumbled into her scarf as a gust of wind whipped through the street. “Gods, it’s even colder than Icewatch here.”

“I’m more worried about the fog than the cold,” Jorem said. “I’d rather not crash into any buildings if I can help it.”

“I get nauseous enough when you fly straight,” she muttered. “Maybe I should just walk to the walls…”

Valuri had only been outside for a few minutes, but she already wanted to run back into Serrane’s estate and curl up by the fireplace. They were a few blocks away from the Duskwatch Lodge, in Jorem’s usual “landing zone,” and Kaseya was theoretically on her way back from the stables with the special dragon saddle the rangers had designed. Valuri wasn’t overly thrilled at the prospect of testing it out in the middle of a blizzard, but anything had to be better than holding onto Kaseya’s waist for dear life.

Several explosions sounded in the distance, followed by the screeches of wyverns and the screams of terrified people. Valuri hoped that Serrane’s rangers would be able to contain the chaos, because it would spread quicker than any flames—especially when the Senosi inevitably got involved.

Kaseya emerged from the frozen fog a few moments later, an enormous saddle slung over her shoulders. It looked like a much larger version of the one Serrane used on Garadros.

“I should have insisted we practice with this before using it in battle,” Kaseya said, scowling as she set the saddle down. “An amazon should never be unprepared…”

“It wasn’t ready this morning,” Valuri reminded her. “Besides, you and I both prefer riding bareback anyway.”

Kaseya frowned. “I do not under—”

“Let’s just hope it fits,” Jorem interrupted. “And that I can actually do this when it counts.”

“You’ve never had trouble performing under pressure before,” Valuri said with a sly grin. “That’s the one and only nice thing I’ll ever say about you.”

He didn’t even snicker, which told her everything she needed to know about his current mental state. His brown eyes had been heavy with doubt ever since the alarm bells had started ringing, and she knew how much pressure he was putting on himself even if he didn’t say anything. He was the Dragon of Highwind and the first Wyrm Lord in generations—that was a big responsibility after spending a lifetime living in the cisterns of Vorsalos and doing everything possible to avoid attention.

“Hey, don’t overthink it,” she said, reaching out and squeezing his arm. “You’ve transformed every day since the siege. Just pretend you’re about to take us for another morning joyride.”

Jorem turned his head back to look at her, and a bit of the tension seemed to drain out of his face. He was annoyingly cute when he was anxious and vulnerable—almost as cute as when he was holding her down and ramming his cock into her cunt. If that wasn’t love, she didn’t know what was.
