“You aren’t going to lose me,” Sawyer promised.

“Good. I don’t think I could bear it. I… I worry about what’s going to happen. I can already feel my loyalties being split and I don’t know what to do.”

Sawyer pulled him closer and wrapped his arms around Draco’s waist. “You’ll do what’s right, because this Chosen One must need you for a reason. And who are we to mess with fate? I’m here for a reason, too. I have to believe that. We’ll figure this out. And hey, we may be worrying for nothing, you know? Let’s not be gloom and doom. Your all-powerful Chosen savior person might think I’m delightful and charming and want to keep me around for a long time.”

“I don’t see how they couldn’t think that about you.”

Sawyer grinned. “Well, my brothers don’t think that.”

“Your brothers are idiots.”

Sawyer laughed and leaned in so their lips were barely separated. “Can I kiss you now?”

“Not if I kiss you first.” Draco closed the distance between them, almost desperate for this first taste of Sawyer. He’d been longing for years for this moment, to have Sawyer as his, to have his secrets laid bare, and to have him still eager to be in his arms. And he was. They fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

Sawyer gasped into his mouth and slipped his arms up and around Draco’s neck. His tongue licked at Draco’s lips, teasing, and he opened his mouth to allow it inside. They tangled together, their breaths mixing and becoming one, their bodies rubbing against each other creating much needed friction.

Draco’s beast was extremely pleased as well. He could feel his body’s reaction to finally having Sawyer in his arms. It was everything he’d wanted it to be. Sawyer responded to him so well, his body ready and willing. Draco slipped his hand down to Sawyer’s ass, cupping him in his hand and squeezing.

Sawyer’s head fell back and he groaned. “Oh fuck, do that again.”

Draco grinned and complied. This time he pressed his hard cock against Sawyer’s answering hardness and thrust as he grabbed a second handful of his muscled ass and held on.

It was all over from there. Sawyer thrust once, then again against Draco before he began to tremble. Draco held him through it, waited for him to stop coming, then pressed another kiss to his gasping lips. “Delicious,” he whispered. “Better than I imagined, and I imagined it a lot.”

“You’re telling me,” Sawyer said. “And you just made me come in my pants in the neighbor’s yard. That’s like… I can’t even believe we just did that.”

“I can. I’ve been wanting to touch you forever, and I love that you want me just as badly.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. Let’s get you home so you can shower and change. I know you need to finish some stuff up before you go meet your advisor.”

“Oh crap. You’re right. I totally need to do that. Will you throw a ball or something for Pearl? I haven’t played with her much and she’s been so good with all the changes going on. I want to be sure she’s getting enough exercise.”

“I will. We’ll play while you get cleaned up.” Draco grabbed Sawyer’s hand and threaded their fingers together. They walked down the hill to Sawyer’s house, with Pearl running alongside them, snapping her jaws at bugs before turning to them for approval.

It was exactly what Draco wanted. The careful walls he’d spent years building came crumbling down. All the little obsessions, the worry, the fear, it all faded away. He didn’t have to be afraid of Sawyer catching some disease and him not being there to help. He didn’t have to be afraid that Sawyer would be hurt and he wouldn’t be by his side as he healed.

No, he may have other things to worry about now, but his dragon had finally been allowed to court his mate. Whatever trouble came their way next, no one would be able to take that away from him.

He kissed Sawyer again before pushing him into the house. If he didn’t, he’d follow him inside and they wouldn’t come out again for a very long time. They’d have those moments soon enough, but this meeting was too important for Sawyer to miss. He’d just have to make it up to Draco when he got back from campus.
