Silverflame

Chapter 21

Silverflame POV
I flew back hastily dreading what he was going to do to me. Maybe he would end it quickly. I could tell him real fast my one weakness, while regenerating, he could stab the one vulnerable spot, the spot between foreleg and body, and I would die. He could go back a hero, having slain a dragon, become a king, have all the mates he could possibly dream of... except it wouldn't be me, the one who messed his life up. I dreaded glancing down at the waterfall clearing, but forced myself to do it. There he stood, glancing up at me, and it looked like he had been crying his heart out. I quickly pushed the feeling of having hurt him out of the way, landing and keeping my head down, which to me was strange... a dragon is taught to NEVER show weakness, and here I was head low like a hatchling caught by it's parent and getting a scolding. I lay down and rolled over exposing my stomach to him, waiting for that small pocket knife thing to pierce me, but it never did.

He did say he would kill me over and over infinity times over... "Silverflame?" His voice squeaked, rather close to my ear. I snapped my eye open, and looked at him. Noticing it got my attention, momentarily, he said my name again, only much louder. "Silverflame." He seemed to be getting over his crying, cause his voice started sounding stronger and more like his usual voice. Seeing as I had shut my eye again, I didn't realize he had maneuvered directly in front of my eye, until his arousal scent hit me. "Silverflame, I know how to make you feel better." His voice carried to my ears, sounding like music. My eyes snapped open in a flash, and I inhaled quite long taking in his scent. "I think I'm ready now." He said, beginning to remove his clothing, in the open...
