Ross's POV: I sat Killian down on a pile of gold in my treasure hoard and purred at him, having successfully stolen him from Sera. I curled my dragon form around him and looked at the door protectively as he giggled and rubbed my scales in excitement. Sera stood at the door, her arms crossed as she watched us. "Ross, Killian needs to go to a room upstairs and to bed. You can't keep him down here and hoarded away from a nice soft bed." I purred at her in amusement. "He likes me though," I told her. "You can join if you want Sera." "Ross, don't deny him a comfortable bed." She shook her head at me and put her hands on her hips. I puffed out a small ball of smoke in defeat, not wanting to deny my coin's lover what she wanted. I shifted to a larger form and picked the child up by his bloody shirt in my teeth and carried him over to her. She reached out and took him from me. "Hi sweetie, let's get you cleaned up and put to bed." She carried him off then. I watched her
Continuing Ross’ POV: I woke up at the sound of gold clattering against each other. A small morning groan came out of the small dragon I met last night. Then I heard his stomach growl with hunger. It was around lunchtime during the day. I opened my eyes slowly and lifted my head inch by inch, trying not to draw attention to myself as I looked towards him, keeping my breathing even. He's up huh? He was just managing to slip out of the coffin and was searching for the exit. I got to my feet and scooped him up. "Come on, I'll make you breakfast," I told him, placing him on my shoulder. I hummed softly as I walked out of my treasure hoard and up the stairs towards the kitchen. He clung to my skin and sniffed my body, relaxing on my shoulder. I looked towards him curiously. "Why're you smelling me?" I asked him softly, teasing him. "You know me from last night." He wrapped his body around my neck and nipped at my ear. "You smell good," he told me. I blushed a bit and laugh
Continuation of Ross's POV:"Good night you two, did you play well?" Sera asked. "I heard that you were brought a friend last night." I looked towards her, feeling my heart pound in joy as I saw her. "Uh huh," I told her innocently and then lifted my wing to show her Toma. She purred and walked over to us. "Do you two want anything to eat? You two look like you could use a bath in oils." She reached out and pet us both on the head. Toma laid calmly next to me as he watched her. "Uh huh," I told her and smiled. "I would love a bath! Food can wait. I fed Toma," I told her and purred, leaning my head into her hand. "You two want a bath together?" She asked us. I watched her and then looked towards Toma. "I don't mind if Toma doesn't," I hummed out and shifted smaller for her, starting to get to my feet before I jumped up into her arms. Toma watched us and then got up. She leaned down and scooped him up too. "I don't mind," Toma told her. "You
Continuing Ross’ POV:"They're dragons," Aurelio said calmly. "They probably were awake the whole time we were sleeping getting along together and bonding." "But what if Toma doesn't want to leave and go home?" Dmitri whined, looking towards Aurelio. "I don't think Ross would let him," Kingsley said. "So you have nothing to worry about. He's still hoarding his treasure and doesn't want it to be taken." Dmitri frowned and looked at Toma worriedly before he looked towards me. I purred at him in amusement, snuggling closer to Toma. "Even if Ross didn't mind, I wouldn't mind letting the two of you stay here. It gives us more people to talk to around here." Dmitri bit his bottom lip and slowly nodded, eyeing the two of us before he looked towards Kingsley. I tuned them out and looked at Toma before I started to pull away, looking for Sera. Sera gave me a sweet look as she was going through her phone. "Boys it's about time to get ready for the ball tonight," she to
Continuing Ross’ POV: Sera reached out for my hand and gave me a sweet smile. "Of course you owe me the first dance," she told me sweetly. I purred happily and took her hand. "I would be delighted," I told her and then gently kissed her hand out of respect and started to take her to the dance floor. "I'll do my best to please you," I purred to her. "You did have me learn to dance for it after all." "I need someone to dance with," she told me. "Might as well be you." "I'm a great dancer," I told her and frowned. "Why would you not want to dance with me? You sound like I'm an alternative!" I gave her an appalled look then. "Don't sound so upset about it like I'm not much to dance with." "I wasn't saying it negatively sweetie," she purred and kissed my cheek. "You're always going to be my first choice as a dance partner." I purred then and looked at her. "Good," I told her and then pulled her into my arms as I reached the middle of the dance floor wit
Continuing Ross’ POV: "Let's see....." I smiled and started to gather gold blankets that were lying around my treasure hoard and the pillows I had down here. I piled them up then walked close to the coffin, starting to move some of my treasure around to make a dip in it and flattened it so none of it would poke into Toma's back then started to organize the blankets and the pillows in the dip to make a comfortable little hole that he could nest in. I put a few gems in it to let him play with and purred in satisfaction. Toma ran up to the nest I made and slipped into it, curling up quickly and giggled as he rubbed the blankets with his hands. I purred and watched him, sitting down on the edge of the coffin near it to watch. He seems to like it.... I smiled softly and looked around my treasure hoard before I stretched and then got to my feet, walking over to where my oils were gathered and picked a few up. I walked over to Toma and sat down in his nest, kissing his cheek. "Do
Continuation of Ross's POV:I woke up when I felt the sun was halfway through it's cycle in the day, noon. I tensed up and started to sit up. NO! Sera is going to be upset with me! I let out a devasted whine and started to run but heard a thud, making me stop as it felt like something fell out from under my wing. What the heck? I looked towards it and tensed when I saw the little black dragon. Oh, that's right.... I purred and went over to him quickly, scooping him up in my jaws and started to carry him to the door, hoping that Sera wasn't too mad at me. I should make her something... or get her some warm blood for when she wakes up in the next five hours! Toma whined, having been woken. "Owe," he whined. "What'd you do?" He asked me. I growled a little at him, unable to really talk with carrying him. I carried him up to the kitchen and placed him down before I shifted and walked up to the refrigerator to get something to feed him, getting another lamb piece out and st
Continuing Ross’ POV: I heard the doors open and Aurelio stood there, looking down on us. "Are you two causing trouble out here?" He asked. I looked towards him and tensed up. "No," I told him and went back to licking my wound. He looked me over before looking out at the forest. "You two better come in, I'll get the servants to get rid of it...." He muttered as he scooped us both up and sat us down inside then shut the door. "You two run along to the night room. There is a warm fire there." I looked towards him then shifted back into my human form, sitting in the floor before I pulled Toma to me. "Okay," I whispered, looking at the wizard curiously. "You sure you don't want to be my diamond?" I purred sweetly. He looked me over."I'm not a dragon's treasure to hoard away." He locked the door and started for the night room. "Come on you two." Toma watched him before looking up into my eyes. I purred softly to him and started to carry him towards the night
