Meanwhile, as if equally certain that his husband would actually abide by his promise to finish everything on time, Riley had practically thrown himself out of the hovering helicopter, his arms spread as he plummeted toward the wasteland below.
And yes, he was silently praying that whatever had worked perfectly fine for the two golden dragons would also work for him.
Unlike Kael and Lady Cirila, who'd at least had the opportunity to practice the ridiculous maneuver outside the MBE beforehand, Riley hadn't exactly been allowed the same luxury.
The entire point of keeping him inside the headquarters until the last possible moment was to convince the Wyvern Queen that he was still there, so having him wander off somewhere just to practice jumping from extreme heights would've defeated the purpose.
Besides, black dragon or not, the former human inside him still had very strong opinions about voluntarily jumping from somewhere this high without a parachute.
It was stupid.
