Knowing Puff could not possibly see facial expressions over the dimly lit distance between them, Jack snorted.
The only sound was the faint rush of the sea, the tinkle of the waterfall in the basin, and the hum between them that was purely mental. He hoped the silent invitation was clear. He knew he now sat on Puff’s bed wearing nothing but a pair of pants. “Indeed I do.” He limped with deliberate steps to the dragon’s stone pedestal and sat on the edge.
Jack picked up his cup and matched the dragon’s ironic smile.
He poured the tea into the cups with studious care. Puff shot him an unfocused look, and turned back to lift the hot kettle with his bare hands. His drawled words had the desired effect. “I can so take the heat, but I’ll allow you the privilege of being in charge, at least this time.” Jack appreciated the double entendres flying back and forth between them. Jack reached for the steaming kettle, but Puff batted his hand away. “Yes, I believe I am, if you refer to my body temperature.” He squared his shoulders.
Puff raised a sardonic eyebrow, and his voice was heavy with irony. He cast about for a way to put Puff at ease. He wanted Puff as much as the dragon wanted him, insanely enough. Publisher’s Note: Dragon’s Egg (Box Set) contains the previously published novellas Dragon’s Egg, Dragon’s Stone, and Dragon’s Quest. Worse, he’s the son of the usurper king of Honalee and the Red Sorceress - which means Jack is a wizard himself! Now Jack has to go to wizard school…Ĭould life get more confusing than being a modern day gay man who suddenly becomes a wizard/dragonrider - and heir to the throne his father didn’t earn? In a word - Yes. Jack Draper’s an orphan, with what he’s always thought of as a very active imagination - until he discovers the dragon from his childhood memories is real. Ever wondered what happens when Jackie grows up?
