I do it again, this time running my hand down his wing. It feels like a thin membrane and is almost see-through.

Griffyn groans. His hands tighten on my thighs, pulling me closer.

“A demon only lets his mate touch his wings and live. It is a unique pleasure to have your hands on me.” His voice is hoarse. Like it’s hard to speak.

“I can’t explain why they turn me on but I am very impressed by their size and feel,” I confess.

“You’re my mate, they’re meant to impress you. To show you I can protect you and hold you close.”

To emphasize his point, he wraps his wings around me until I’m cocooned within them.

I’ve never felt safer.

Griffyn leans forward and presses the soft pillow of his lips to mine. I open for him immediately, wanting to get closer.

“Are you two going to leave? Aksel will be back soon and he will probably ruin your fun.” Felix’s voice from the back door breaks the moment and the two of us pull apart.

“Let’s fly,” Griffyn whispers.

His wings stretch out behind him before one flap shoots us into the air.

Then, we’re flying. The world around me is zooming by and I can’t make out any details until we reach the right height and start soaring.

It’s beautiful. We are up so high that everyone looks like ants and the buildings seem like toys.

Griffyn keeps me tucked tightly against him. If I was human, I would freeze up here.

Wind rushes my face as he banks down towards the ground, spinning us in the air until I’m screaming in joy. He does another loop before dropping down to the ground.

He lands softly, his wings catching the wind. Griffyn drops a soft kiss on my lips before setting me down on the ground.

I drag my eyes away from his beautiful face and take in our surroundings.

“A movie theater?”

“Yes, you and I are going on a traditional date.”

Griffyn tugs on my hand and pulls me behind him as we go into the theater.

Griffyn buys tickets to a romantic comedy, two buckets of popcorn, three types of candy, and two slushies.

“You think we are going to be able to eat all of this?” I ask, laughing at our full hands.

“Absolutely. This is a date. I can’t skimp on a date, Vixen.”

My smile is huge as we find our seats in the back row. This feels amazing. I need this moment with my new mate.

“I can feel your love down the bond,” Griffyn whispers in my ear.

“Well, this is perfect so thank you for making this happen.”

His resulting smile is magnetic, drawing me into him until our lips press together.

It’s a quick peck before we start shoveling all this food into our mouths and enjoying the unique taste that comes from being movie theater food.

“Let’s count shoulders.” Griffyn starts with his own, counting one and two before using three and four to put his arm around my shoulders.

It’s the cheesiest thing I can imagine on a date and it makes me laugh so hard I snort.
