G'den. I love you. G'den looked with deep love at the magnificent brown dragon. He was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen.
"Why do you say so, Terth?" asked G'den. The brown dragon rolled off of the couch and shook himself.
Because it is so, rider mine. G'den smiled at his dragon. Terth understood him better than anyone. They were close, like all bonded. But G'den felt their bond was deeper, like blood through veins, and ancient traditions. He crossed over to his dragon, and rubbed oil on Terth's neck. The dragon's eyes swirled with happiness. G'den's heart was overflowing with love for this small creature, barely a sevenday old.
Rider mine, You missed a spot on my back. G'den smiled and rubbed more oil onto his lifemate's back. He had never been so happy in his life.
