I launch myself into his arms and wrap myself around him like I’m a koala. Between each kiss I place all over his face I say, “I. Would. Love. To. Fly. With. You.”

Blaze laughs. It’s a low chuckle that comes from his stomach.

Every time Blaze opens himself up to me, I see a different side of him.

“So, how do we do this?” I ask.

I have no idea what I’m doing. I imagine most people don’t.

“I’ll shift and you climb up onto my back. Hold on tight but know I won’t let you fall. Nothing will happen to you, my dragon loves you too much, so relax and have fun.”

Giddy butterflies erupt in my stomach. I am so excited to do this.

Blaze steps back and quickly strips his clothes. I don’t stare even though I want to.

He shifts and I get to see his breathtaking, enormous dragon again.

The last time I saw him, he was whisking me away from danger and I did not get to enjoy the flight. I was pumped with anxiety and adrenaline. This time is just for enjoyment, not survival.

The dragon nudges me with his broad nose before lying down and presenting his side to me. It’s difficult to climb up his scales. He uses his wing to push me up until I’m straddling his back.

I feel his smooth scales that radiate heat under my hands.

As the dragon’s powerful wings beat against the air, a rush of wind engulfs me, tugging at my clothes and whipping my hair behind me. I cling tightly to Blaze’s scaled-back, my heart pounding with exhilaration.

Looking down, I see the landscape spreading out beneath me, shrinking in size as we ascend. Animals appear as mere specks among massive trees and rivers.

The dragon’s powerful muscles ripple beneath me with each flap of his wings. I feel the heat coming from his warm scales. It keeps me from freezing as we soar higher and the air grows crisp.

A sense of freedom washes over me as we reach the clouds. I extend my hand, fingertips brushing against the moist mist. The sky stretches out endlessly, painted in hues of blue and gold.

I feel alive.

My mind has never felt more clear. I realize there’s an important angle we haven’t explored in dealing with our problems. When we get home, I have to talk to everyone.

With the dragon as my steed, we navigate through the sky with grace and agility. We dip and curve, performing moves that defy gravity. I lean into the turns, feeling the rush of wind against my face and the dragon’s warm breath brushing against my skin.

Blaze angles towards the ground and lands, ending the most spectacular experience of my life.

My blood is pumping through every inch of my body and I feel like I could do anything. As soon as Blaze shifts back, I jump on him.

He doesn’t have time to put his clothes back on before I’m gripping his face and kissing him. My tongue tangles with his as I try to get as close to him as possible.

I pull back long enough to whisper, “That was incredible Blaze! Incredible! I feel so alive!”

His hand presses into the middle of his back, crushing our bodies closer together.

“I’ve never taken anyone flying with me like that. It’s something saved only for a mate. I feel honored that you are so happy.”

He is ruining me right now.

I break away from his lips and kiss down his neck, trying to consume him.

Blaze lets me rub all over his body until I get annoyed by the clothes between us.

“My clothes need to go.”

He doesn’t waste a second before setting me down. His claws shred my shirt until it falls to the ground with my bra, panties, and pants quickly following.
