Donte and I wander through the stacks of physical books, with no direction and nothing to go on. I read the titles on the ancient spines. Most of the books I see are on technology and mathematics. Nothing on myths and legends. I turn to Donte after several hours of searching and shrug.

"Maybe this was a false lead," I say.

"There's so much here."

"The librarian is being a tool,” I mutter. “He’s just mad we interrupted his busy life of doing nothing.” Donte and I come to what seems like the center of the library. "If we could just get our information organized, maybe we would have a more accurate impression of our history and our race… And our future,” I muse. “I’m so angry at this mess I could scream.”

Donte takes my hands in his and draws me to him.

"You're very passionate," he says in a low voice. "I admire how driven you are by your mission."

"What does my drive matter if I can't find what I'm looking for?"

"The Senate has agreed to keep information disconnected from the mainframes. We have concluded that keeping data separated is the best way to keep it safe."

“We are doing our best to maintain our information in case of another attack. As you know, creating backups has taken centuries, with the cyborgs ability to gain access to our databases evolving all the time. The firewalls on our mainframe work constantly to prevent viral attacks. Attacks happen a million times a day. Do you realize how hard it is to protect what little information we still have connected?"

"I know all this very well. I’m just frustrated. We traveled all this way."

"There is hope, My Queen, that someday we will be free of the cyborg threat, that all of our histories will be restored, that the plague will be cured, and that females will again be equal in population and in strength to males.”

“Our species is in decline. We in the Senate understand this. It is a tragedy for us all. And that is why we need passionate young Draxos like you to remind us of what is possible," he says, gazing into my eyes as he holds my hands.

Knowing he respects my mission tears my heart out. I’ve spent so long hiding in the shadows, feeling as if I didn’t match up to other girls. Being so passionate about my mission had always felt like a curse when I should be studying the finer points of the mating ritual or how to run a household. To hear my oldest, and most well-respected mate tell me he admires my passion sends me into a frenzy of unexpressed emotion.

I'm so overcome that I throw myself into his huge arms. He wraps me in his embrace and holds me tight, grasping the back of my head as he pulls my mouth against his.

Our kiss is long and passionate, the heat rising in my core as my sex dampens. I feel my nipples prick against the thin fabric of my nanotech dress. Donte moves his hands over my body, sliding down my back and gripping my ass. I groan under his kiss and I know that I need him, now, in this dusty dim library.

Donte picks me up and carries me to an empty table. I sit on the edge with his massive body between my legs. He slides his fingers into the seam between my breasts and pulls my wrap dress open, revealing my naked flesh. Kneeling before me, he sucks my nipples into his big mouth, flicking them with his hard tongue.

Groaning, I throw my head back. Donte pulls me to him, and I feel the hard mass of his manhood press against my hot and hungry sex.

I can feel the depth of his thrall and the hunger in his soul. I know I need him, now, research be damned. All I know is I want him. I want to feel him. I want to know him. I want to be opened like a flower and never be the same again.

I grab at his pants trying to tear open the fabric. He deactivates his nanotech clothing and stands naked before me. I look at him with amazement. His shaft is so thick and long it startles me. I use both of my small hands to slide up and down his rock-hard cock.

He pushes my dress back up my thighs to my waist and kneels between my knees. With his hand gently clutching my throat, he dives his tongue into my pussy.

He licks greedily, opening my desire until I’m gushing and moaning for him. He pushes one soaking wet finger inside me, over the pleasure inside my channel. I groan, my nipples tightening with need. He pushes his finger deeper and licks my outer pleasure buds with his stone hard tongue.

I groan so loudly it echoes through the library. I bite my lip, forcing myself to be quiet. The last thing I want is for the grumpy old librarian to catch us and kick us out.

I don't care about the library or anything else except the feeling of Donte's tongue on my sex. As the climax hits me all at once, I let out a gasp and stare at the dark ceiling above me.

Donte stands between my legs, his phallus massive and hard as a granite pillar. He angles it toward my wet, quivering opening. As he presses the tip between my folds, my mouth drops in surprise. I am a young and healthy female dragon, my body should easily accommodate a male of my race.

But this is my first time, and his size shocks me. His huge phallus spreads me open and the feeling of being entered, as my channel grips his cock, is so overpowering, I close my eyes and bite my lip with a squeal.

He holds me still and slowly rocks in and out of me, opening me enough to take him further and deeper with each motion of his hips. He thrusts deeper, pushing the walls of my channel open to accommodate him.

My feet rest on the edge of the table. My legs spread wide and my ass barely holding on. With one final thrust, he sinks inside me with a growl. His emerald eyes stare into mine and he cups my cheek in his hand, kissing me gently on the lips. All I can do is mewl and hold on to him as he moves in waves in and out of my body.

I am glad it is Donte who was the first to enter me like this. He brought me here, he let me drive, he got me into the library, and now he is teaching me the ways of love. If this trip was for no other reason than to let him inside me, then it was well worth the time.

His cock is so huge it presses every single pleasure button inside me. I come to climax with a screaming explosion in my body and mind. Donte squeezes my breast as he speeds his rhythm, pounding his pelvis against mine over and over, driving me from one climax to the next as I gush moisture around his massive cock.

He grips the back of my head, threading his fingers through my hair as he pulls my mouth to his and releases his semen inside me. It comes with such a potent hot rush that it forces me into another climax. We throb together in the cold dark library, our breaths mingling and our hearts pounding in rhythm.

With a kiss to my forehead, Donte slides away. He then gathers me up and holds me gently for a long time. I rest my head against his massive chest, feeling satisfied and safe. I've never experienced such pleasure and didn't realize it was even possible. After I straighten my clothing, I look up at Donte and smile.

"Should we get going now?" I asked with a shrug.

"We still haven't found the book," he says.

"I don't think we’re going to find anything here."

"What about that chamber over there," he says, pointing to a single room that is created inside the labyrinth of stacks.

There is a single book on a table with a light shining over it. I shrug and decide I might as well check it out.

We walk hand-in-hand to the chamber and I slide inside, sitting at the chair pushed up to the desk. I read the title of the book.

Tales of the Ancients.

"By the Bones of the Gods, this is it!"

I begin searching through the pages. Most of the stories are older versions of the myths I've known all my life. But then I come to a chapter that is titled Explorations of the Ancients. In that chapter, I find the story of what appears to be how the gods came to the planet Earth and mated with humans when they were still quite primitive.

Inside what is written like a parable is a detailed description of a mating ritual between a human and Draxos using what appears to be genetic regulation. I look it over multiple times, not sure what I'm reading. Excitement bubbles up inside me and I jump out of the chair.

"I think this is it," I say giddily.

"What is it?"

"There's a description of a mating ritual, with a species that resembles humans. It's similar to the Draxos mating ritual we use now, but the human mate is changed into a dragon during the mating through genetic regulation. The primary protein for activation of the required transcription factors appears to be…the semen of a fated mate!” I say, running my finger over the text. “But the genetic expression is not completed until the mating bite transfers saliva proteins directly into the bloodstream of the human. Then the ritual is complete and the human is transformed into a dragon.”

"Joon," Donte says. "I think you’ve found what you were looking for."
