Kaida felt so free as the wind blew against her body. There was no one up here to look down on her, no secrets she had to keep, no expectations to live up to. The only thing she could feel was weightlessness and a feeling like she was finally above all the troubles that were down on the ground. She felt herself holding her arms out and closing her eyes as the feeling swarmed around her.

What I would give to be able to feel this every single day.

She felt Enzo’s body begin to descend, and she wrapped her arms around the spike in front of her to keep her balance. When she looked down below to see where he had taken her, it seemed to be a small body of water with trees all around it. There was barely enough room for his large body, so Kaida wondered how Enzo was going to manage to land. Her question was answered when she felt the ripple of magic course through his body as he shifted midair. She let out a scream as she freefell through the air for a few seconds as her heart rose to feel like it was inside of her throat. Then she felt Enzo’s strong arms catch her and pull her against his chest. She felt the rumble of laughter inside of his chest as she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his chest, trying desperately to calm her breathing.

“That is not funny!” She screamed at him.

Enzo continued to laugh as his wings slowly flapped until they reached the ground. When they did, Kaida practically jumped out of his arms so she could be standing before she began to yell at him properly.

“Why would you do that! I thought I was going to die!”

“You could have just shifted yourself.” It felt like a knife went into her chest at his words.

Ugh. Here comes another lie I have to tell. I hate this. I’m so tired of having to hide my lack of a dragon.

“That is not where my head went when that happened. All I could feel was me freefalling!” Enzo gave her a questioning look, “it didn’t compute, okay?”

He shrugged his shoulders. “I had that trouble after I first shifted. Just didn’t come as natural to shift between both forms whenever I wanted to. I get it. It’s more common than you think, actually.”

Kaida sighed with relief at his words. To not appear like she got away with the lie, she looked around and gave Enzo a smile. “So, why here?”

“This is where I come to get some privacy. We aren’t too far from the castle, but not many people come here. Not sure why. It’s pretty peaceful.”

Kaida nodded in agreement as she tried to sit down on a large, flat rock. Enzo was at least a gentleman and had them in the perfect spot to be right next to the water on one of the only rocks that appeared to be flat enough to be able to sit on. The rest were too small or too jagged. This one was just right.

“Not sure if that was the explanation I was looking for.” She glanced at him with her eyebrow raised. “I think there was another reason. Am I right?”

Enzo bashfully looked away from her for a moment, “busted?”

Enzo sat down beside her. Kaida leaned into him and put her head on his shoulder as they both looked at the water.

“You’re right. It is peaceful. I can’t hear a damn thing. No hustle and bustle of people moving around. Not even dragons flying around.” There was nothing but the sounds of nature around them.

She felt his neck move to look at her. Kaida glanced up at him from the tops of her eyes to be sure she was right. When her eyes met his gray ones, yet again, it felt as if the world had fallen away. The tugging inside of her chest returned the moment Enzo used his hand to lift her chin just enough to where she could feel his breath on her. His breathing was a little ragged as he stared at her lips. The only thought in her mind was playing repeatedly, saying,please kiss me, please kiss me.

Enzo closed the gap and pressed his lips to hers. When his hands went into her hair to pull her closer to him, he opened his mouth to deepen the kiss. Slowly their bodies melded into each other, and she heard them both groan at the same time. Before she knew it, he adjusted her to be seated on his lap. She quickly adjusted herself to straddle him so she could be more comfortable. Enzo’s hands trailed down her back, and a sizzling sensation accompanied it. The heat was welcomed, and it made her moan at his touch. His hands landed on her hips, and she fought the urge to rock them back and forth against him. She felt his hardness grow beneath her, making her panties drenched and only leaving her wanting more.

When Enzo pulled himself away, Kaida groaned as she muttered how she didn’t want it to end. Enzo chuckled and kissed her forehead.

“The sounds you are making are making it very hard for me to stop.” She felt his hands shaking for a moment, and it was clear that he meant it. “I think we should call it a day.”

Kaida groaned again, “I don’t wanna go back.”

“I’d love to stay in this moment with you until the end of time. But this is not Prince-like. I need to get you back before I break all the rules I told myself I’d follow.”

Kaida gave him a cocky grin, “I like bad boys, though.”

Enzo growled, gave her a quick kiss, and scraped his teeth on her bottom lip. When she moaned again, Enzo slowly pulled her off him and helped Kaida to her feet. “Yeah, I need to stop before I can’t.”

Kaida reluctantly agreed as he shifted, letting his wings be put on display again. He flew them out of the area just enough to shift into his full dragon and then flew her to her balcony. As she waved goodbye, she practically growled in frustration.

If this was the first date, I can’t wait to see what he has in store for date two.

Eight

The next morning, Kaida felt as if she was walking amongst the clouds. She had yet to come down from her date with Enzo and even replayed a few parts of it inside of her head as she got ready. Kaida found a really cute lilac-colored sundress in her closet. She didn’t remember purchasing it, but it was her exact size. After pulling it off the rack, there was a note pinned to the tag.

I hope to see you in the market district later today.
