Being one with them, a mortal with a dragon's soul, I would think that it would be entirely irrelevant that you are riding them, and that it doesn't apply to the aspect of the lore. Dragons used Man as thralls and slaves, they would not idly allow such a thing to occur, what with your physical form still being that of a Man; even worse if it is Mer, and tenfold as a beast-race. Paarthunax was different, he was sort of the 'colleague' dragon, you respect one another, and that Paarthunax is still a superior. In this sense, there is also no other way for you to go with Paarthunax, since you obviously can no longer levitate...
