long?”
“Calm down, they know you are with me.” He grinned, but it disappeared fast. “Shit, they know you are with me.”
“That’s bad.”
“To them, yes, as they can only assume what it is I wanted to do.”
I blushed scarlet as he walked back to the trees to change. He turned around and lifted up his hands in defense, walking backwards. “Which is far from it, but yes, they might have a slight problem.”
He disappeared behind the nearest tree.
“We going to be in trouble?” I asked, sounding worried again.
He laughed.
“Blake, this isn’t funny. The last time Master Longwei said, if I stepped out of line again, I would regret having ever found Paegeia.”
“You are its princess, Elena. He should be worried that you are going to chuck him out.”
“I would never.”
The trees rumbled as Blake changed and a tree fell over. I shook my head.
“You really need to make peace with my nakedness. I’m tired of destroying things, especially the trees,” his deep voice said. “And I’ll take the blame if it comes to that, which I’m most certainly sure it will.”
“You’re not alleviating any of my fears.”
He chuckled, crawled out again, and came to a standstill right next to me, so I could get back up.
I hated this. He was so freaking large and I really struggled to get on his back.
I tried a different route, the shoulder part of his wing, and laughed as he pushed me up with his snout. It was more graceful than the first, and when I got my feet secure on his back, I grabbed one of his horns. I stationed myself back against the big horn close to his neck. I grabbed two sprouts again, and after I put my goggles on, I felt ready to go. I was actually more than ready. I was anxious.
“You ready?”
“Yes, just go.”
He started to flap his wings again and we ascended.
Now that we were out of the meadow, the sun was busy setting. Shit. It was all I could think of the entire time and was glad when the coliseum came into view again.
He landed gracefully again outside the coliseum and I slid off his wing.
“So what, you going to fly to his office and explain or do I have to send him out here?”
Blake gurgled, which I knew was a laugh.
“Just go, have dinner, I’ll see you soon.”
“Oh, I almost destroyed the cafeteria once, so a table outside,” I teased again.
“Ha-ha, go before I change my mind.”
“Okay, fine. See you later.”
“You bet.”
A warm fuzzy feeling appeared in my gut with his last statement. The way he made me feel. No wonder Becky refused to believe what I believed—well, didn’t want to believe anymore. He made me feel as if I was the most important thing in his entire existence.
I ran up the stairs and couldn’t stop grinning like an idiot. This afternoon was amazing and overwhelming all at the same time. Blake had told me everything he’d gone through ever since I’d arrived. I had to admit, I hadn’t foreseen how it was going to end as it revealed the truth of how much he despised me, but then he’d told me what it was I’d done, that he’d fallen for me before the Dent actually happened, it made me feel as if I was a dragon again, as if I had the ability to fly myself.
I entered the cafeteria and a few pairs of eyes were on me. I found Tabitha’s at once and she gave me a scolding look with slightly flaring nostrils. Her eyes grew when she saw mine, which told her more or less that I knew the truth and that I was actually pissed off with her interrogation from yesterday. If he’d broken up with her a long time ago, then why had she done that? Making me feel crap for something she couldn’t have anymore was the answer.
I looked away and folded my arms as I walked over to Becky’s table.
“Where the hell have you been?” Becky asked. She had a huge grin on her face and George couldn’t stop laughing. Dean had a grin on his face too, and Sammy, well she just looked relieved.
“You gave us a heart attack, Elena,” Sammy said as I
