Chapter 10
Sergeant Sheila Adams
I knew the dragon scum was not to be trusted. But I didn't know that it would be because of this. I thought they were playing some sort of trick on the village, but I didn't know that I would be the trick. I felt so stupid. I was so filled with anger that I could feel my face turning a bright red as I walked away from General Azlo. I wanted to do more than slap him, but there was not much I can do to hurt him. He was too strong, much stronger than humans.
He had told me the truth about why he had sex with me. He did it to save his own life. I didn't know what to believe about the bonding of DNA. It seemed impossible to me, but then again, he was an alien, and a month ago I would have considered him to be impossible. Years ago I would've considered cyborgs taking over the Earth impossible, so maybe there was truth to this DNA bonding stuff. Having sex with me saved his life, but why me?
Later that night, I understood this bonding thing better than I wanted to. I lay in bed trying to go to sleep. Finally, I dozed off, but in the middle of the night, I felt Azlo’s heat on me. I could feel his hard dragon scales brush across my nipples. I moaned in my sleep. His hot dragon hand was on my ankle. It caressed me and moved up my leg, slowly over my knee to my inner thigh. Then it pressed against my wet center. His thumb pressed on my clit and moved it from side to side. “Oh god. Oh yes…” I whispered. Then his hand kept moving. It moved up my belly and over my breasts. His fingers rolled my hard nipples gently. I arched my back up and opened my mouth, craving his kiss. I felt his mouth clamp over mine, and his long tongue massaged my tongue as his hands massaged and kneaded my breasts. I felt so small and delicate in his hands. He was so large. The heat from inside of him was radiating through his skin and on to me. I felt like I was sweating in heat under him. I moved and rolled around. Then he trailed kisses from my mouth down my neck. His tongue licked my breasts. He kissed my belly, further and further down. Until his tongue was pressed on my clitoris. In a flash, I exploded into orgasmic pleasure. I screamed. I woke.
“What?” I said out of breath as I looked around the empty room. I was completely naked and sweating.
I looked around the room again, “Azlo?” There was no answer. I grabbed a match and lit the candle next to my bed. The room was empty. I slid out of bed, wrapping a sheet around me. I picked up the candle and went to the living room. It was empty. The door was locked the windows were closed. There was no sign that anyone had been there. I was alone.
“Shit, it was a dream. But it was so real,” I said sitting on the couch. How could that be? I had sex dreams before but never like that. I had never had an orgasm in my sleep before. How did this happen? I was so confused. I walked back to my bed and blew out the candle. I laid down trying to cool off and not think of Azlo fucking me. Then it hit me.
“No fucking way! He said we bonded….” I whispered to myself.
I realized this dream could be part of the bonding. I could feel him even when he wasn't with me. I wondered if he could feel me? It was unbelievable and hard to understand. I knew that it was a sex dream only, but could it be that it was so strong because we were now bonded? I was a part of him now, and if he was thinking about sex with me, or even dreaming it, maybe I could feel it too. It was completely insane! But I liked it. Was that bad?
Then at that moment, I thought about Devon, but for some reason, thinking about him didn't hurt the way that it used to. I didn’t feel the same amount of guilt that had burdened me. But why? The regret and remorse was all that I had left of Devon. I had wanted to hold tight to it even though I knew that it wasn’t healthy. But it kept the memory of Devon inside of me, and that was what I wanted. It was fading
Could it be? Could it be that bonding with this weredragon had pushed the love and pain that I felt over my fiancé out of my heart? Fuck, how dare he do this to me? And he knew that it would happen this way too. He knew all along because it had happened to his king with another human female. This was his plan all along. I felt stupid. But more than that, I felt more and more in love with this weredragon. I would always have my fiancé in my heart, but the love for Azlo was growing stronger and stronger by the minute. I felt like I had no control over it. He had claimed my heart, body, and soul.
The next day I tried to keep my mind occupied with work. There was a lot to do. The infrastructure of the village had suffered ever since the attack because people were traumatized, and it took a few days to feel normal again. It took a few days to feel safe. I had to admit that the Veruka army did save us. We owed them a lot. If they had not been here, then we would not have survived the attack.
“Sergeant.” I turned around to see Lieutenant Reqan coming toward me.
“Yes, Lieutenant?” I said.
“Our engineers are with your man Richard. They are requesting your presence. Do you have time to meet with them now?” he gestured in the direction of the mechanic shop.
“Yes, I do,” I said as I began to walk with him.
“I have to admit that I am very impressed with your skills, Sergeant. The way you have kept this village up and running practically on your own, under your leadership,” he said.
“Thank you, Lieutenant. But how do you know about the work that I did here before you arrived?” I asked.
“I have become… friendly with a human female named Chrissy Jones. She told me all about it; she speaks highly of you,” he said.
I gave him a look. I knew exactly what he meant by friendly. It seemed that she was throwing herself at all the dragons in the village. Then it made me remember something; she had been overly flirtatious with Azlo before he was ever with me. She was throwing herself at him. Why did he not sleep with her? It would have healed him of the sickness that very day. Instead, it was days later before he laid with me. It did not make sense to me.
“I understand. I hope that she is making you feel very welcome here,” I said.
“Yes, she is. She has come to admire me, I think, and I admire her in return. At first, she was drawn to the general, but he refused her. I should say that I am glad that he did. Otherwise, I would not be with her,” he said with a big smile.
I looked at him in shock. “How do you know he refused her?”
“Because it was him that put us together. She had been trying to be with him since we arrived, but he had no interest, even if it was very important that he did,” he said. I stopped walking. He knew. He knew about the sickness.
“Important? Are you talking about the blackness that he had?” I asked. He stopped walking and looked at me with shock.
“I was not supposed to speak of this. The general will be pissed off at me,” he said.
“Your secret is safe with me. I already know that he was sick; he told me yesterday. But that being with me healed him,” I said.
“It is true. But do not speak of this to anyone else. He was showing the signs of the blackness. I feared for his life. He could've died at any moment, and I thought it was very selfish of him to not simply mate with any of the humans here in order to save his life. He has an army to run. The soldiers look to him for leadership. The king gave him an important mission, and he was being stubborn and would not take just any female,” he said.
“And why is that? He could've died waiting?” I said confused.
“I asked him that very question daily. He did not want to hear it. His heart was set on another; I believe you are that human female he was willing to wait for or die. With all due respect, Sheila, it was a risky move that he should not have taken,” he said.
“Yes, I agree with that. Come; let's go see with the engineers say,” I said urging him to continue walking. I didn't want to admit that I was on the verge of tears. I now understood. Azlo could have had sex with any human female to save his life. But instead, he waited because he wanted me. He wanted to bond with me. I didn't know how I felt about it, but I was overwhelmed.
