“Blaze let me ride his dragon,” I say excitedly.
“No fair! I called the first date,” Griffyn says grumpily.
“You can take me out tomorrow,” I promise him.
Griffyn shoots up out of his chair with a smile on his face.
“Deal.”

“Vixen! I am stealing you away,” Griffyn’s voice is loud and playful.
“Are you?” I ask around laughing.
He picks me up spinning me around until my feet knock a picture off the wall.
“Oops, a sacrifice that will not be in vain.”
“Where are we going?” I ask when he puts me down.
“It’s a surprise.”
“I’m not sure I should trust a surprise from you,” I whisper.
His resulting grin is enough of an answer.
I take a step towards the garage but he pulls me to the back sliding door instead.
“The backyard doesn’t seem nearly mischievous enough for you.”
Griffyn throws his head back and laughs. His pure joy in this moment makes butterflies erupt in my stomach.
Once we are outside his shoulders tighten and he looks down at me, shy for the first time.
“The backyard is not our final destination. I was thinking we could… fly there. If you trust me enough.”
He looks vulnerable. This large, hulking male is looking down at me like my answer holds his fate.
“Griffyn, I’ve already forgiven you. I hated your reasons but I did- do understand them. I trust you and would love to fly with you. Take me to the sky!”
I jump into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist, and capture his lips in a kiss.
Something brushes against my hands behind his neck.
Wings.
Big, beautiful, black wings are spread behind his back.
Tentatively, I reach out and brush my finger across the top of his left wing.
His resulting shiver has heat rushing to my core.
“Is it sensitive?” I whisper, brushing my lips against his ear.
“Tremendously.”
