“Fly with me, Fireball.” His voice was in my mind, catching me off-guard. He had mentioned mental communication while he was in his dragon form, but I hadn’t really considered what it would sound or feel like. “Are you sure?” I asked my question aloud, not certain if I could speak into his mind too. And not sure he’d want me to, even if I could. “I’m always sure.” “Okay. Don’t let me fall, though.” He narrowed his beastly eyes at me. “I’m going to pretend you didn’t just say that.” I huffed out a laugh.
