Thor stared at Serena, who had just commanded every dragon on the field. "That was the hottest thing I've ever witnessed, and I watch myself train every morning."
"Thor," Halvek warned.
"I think I'm in love."
"You're not in love, Crushturn."
"My dick disagrees."
"That's your last remaining brain cell dying. Get in formation."
Thor looked Halvek dead in the eye. "Let's just say I would let her ride me hard and I wouldn't buck her off."
"One more word, Crushturn."
"I would let her ruin me. On my knees. On my back. Sitting on my face. Choke-me-while-I-finish. Dealer's choice."
"CRUSHTURN."
"Yes, Captain."
Above them, Flareon circled once and glided down, touching the field with the composure of a dragon who had absolutely not just terrorized her bonded for an hour.
Elara slid off before the dragon had fully stopped moving.
Captain Halvek was waiting, his arms crossed.
"She tried to kill me," Elara said flatly.
"She tested you," Halvek corrected. "There's a difference."
