Draco grinned and tugged them together. “Trying to make you see the way things are.”

Henry frowned a bit, puzzling over his thoughts as his body still sung with magic and release. “You mean…”

“I mean that you’re irresistible. Andvari thinks so, and so do I. Sawyer does, too. And although Eduard is a bit harder to read, I have a sneaking suspicion he’s wanted to bend you over a time or two as well.”

Henry grabbed Draco’s biceps, groaned at the touch, then looked up. “Goddess, you’re beautiful.”

Draco grinned and leaned in to kiss Henry. He got his first taste of Henry’s release, transferred from his fingers to Henry’s lips. “As are you.”

“Andi really wants to…”

“He really does. But he thinks you don’t want him. You were just clueless, weren’t you? Beautifully innocent.”

Henry blushed and leaned his forehead against Draco’s chest. “I’ve never…been with anyone. Except you. Just now.”

Draco groaned. “Goddess, don’t tell me that. It makes me want to touch you all over again.”

Henry huffed and lifted his head. “I’d let you.”

“I’m glad.”

“And Sawyer won’t be mad?”

“Nope. I promise.”

“I kinda wanted to kiss him more, but then I thought… you and Sawyer, you know?”

“It is me and Sawyer. It will be forever. But Sawyer and I had a long talk and he knows that dragons take multiple mates. He liked that idea. How about you? You like that idea, too?”

Henry’s lips quirked to the side and he had a puzzled frown. “I’ve never thought about it. I mean, my dads… it’s just them, you know? The moment my dad saw Papa again, he was done for. I always thought that’s the way it would be for me.”

“And it may be. I hope not,” Draco said. “But I won’t pressure you into anything more than you want. I wanted to open your eyes tonight, to let you see yourself the way we see you. So bright and beautiful, full of energy and magic. You’re stunning, Henry.”

Henry grinned and he wrapped his arms around Draco and hugged him tight. “Thank you.” He pushed up and captured Draco’s lips in a tantalizing kiss. “Now let’s do the other ward. I think I’ve got the hang of it now.”

Draco snickered but followed Henry back up to the second ward that surrounded the house. He pulled Henry close again, but this time he kept his hands on the outside of Henry’s clothes. He opened himself up and allowed the dragon magic in him to roam free, giving Henry access to combine their magic again. The ward again burned with a bright blue flame.

“I did it. That’s… really cool. So I can borrow your magic?” Henry asked.

“Not borrow, exactly,” Draco explained. “I can let my magic strengthen yours. Our elements are different, so they can help strengthen each other. You can do the same with Andvari, should you choose to do so. His magic is from the earth so it would add another layer onto the wards.”

“That’s… something for me to think about.”

Draco couldn’t agree more.
