EXCLUSIVE – The Dragon’s Slave (Never Published)

Galen

I couldn’t believe the crowd this auction had drawn. In all my travels I had never seen one so large, what could possibly be this exciting? Making my way towards the front was no easy task but given my size very few refused to move out of my way. Soon I was close enough to see it was a slave auction. I hated these damn things, and as far as I knew they were illegal. So why was this one so large? It looked like most of the province was here.

The women they marched out on to the stage were of varying sizes and shapes. Some old and some young, but nothing worth the fanfare this had. Just typical human females. My curiosity was killing me so I sought out one of the auction keepers near the side of the stage.

“Hey, what’s so special about these women? You must have the whole town here.”

“These are just the appetizers. The best is always saved for last.” stated the harker.

“Oh yeah, then what’s desert?” playing along with this jackass.

“Master Harlock’s greatest capture yet. Something so rare you won’t believe me till you see her. A female dragon.” said the harker, with a smile so big you could see every rotten tooth in his head.

I rocked back on my heels, with a stunned expression on my face. No way had I just heard this moron correctly. But he just stood there grinning like an idiot so it had to be true.

All these years of searching, I had never had even the barest of a trace of a female and these mongrels find one. Dragons used to be as plentiful as the stars, till one clan got greedy and started the bloodiest war in history. Many were killed and the females with children were sent into hiding. After the war, the slavers had continued the decimation with their damn auctions. Greedy bastards.

I made my way over to the podium the auctioneer was using. If it was true that they had a female dragon, I wanted to make sure I saw her.

As the sun hit noon, they brought out the most stunning creature I had ever seen. The crowd went silent as this goddess was lead across the stage in nothing but delicate gold chains that started at her shoulders and wrapped around her full breasts, then fell in layers to her waist. Now I knew why they had waited till that time of day. The gold highlights in her flaming red hair shimmered as the sun shone down on her, bathing her in radiant light. The chains seemed to make her pale skin glow as they brought her to the middle of the stage where a pedestal was set up and once she was in position the crowd erupted in activity. She never once reacted to the noise, making me think they had her drugged. Guess the keepers feared for their safety after all, seeing as how dragons were known for their tempers.

The auctioneer was having a difficult time trying to keep up with all the bids and the price just kept rising. None of that mattered to me though. Let the bastards spend their money. I didn’t care who won, because they would either give her to me or meet their death. Either way she was mine!

By the time the auction was complete it was late afternoon and the winner was brought up on stage to claim his prize. The pompous fool had made a grand show of lifting the chains and feeling her breasts, much to the excitement of the crowd. It took everything I had not to kill him right then and there. But I did console myself with the fact that he would die by my hand and very soon.

After his little show, he left the stage to pay the auction master and she was taken to the holding area. There her chains were replaced with a thin dress that hung to the ground. I guess ten million deneras wasn’t enough for them to include the gold. She was then escorted to his entourage, were her owner put a thick metal collar around her neck. Even with all this going on she still hadn’t reacted. I’m not sure she was even blinking. I made sure to keep a close eye on her because in that state she would be an easy target for that asswipe. I would never be able to forgive myself if he did anything else to her.

When they left town to make the journey home, I followed as close as I could without being noticed. To them I was just another shadow in the lush forest we were passing through. I was glad to see that she rode in a different transport than her owner. When night fall presented, they stopped to setup camp. When everything was completed an older female servant took my beauty out of the transport and lead her to a tree, where she attached a chain to her new collar. They had her chained like a fucking animal. Everything in me was screaming kill him. NOW! But I had to control it, she was in danger if I went off half-cocked. So, I got comfortable and made my plans for later that evening when most of them would be asleep.

As the camp wound down from their meal to settle in for the night, that same female servant went to unchain my prize and lead her into his tent. When the servant left is when I made my move. I came up to the back of his tent, thankful that it was close to a bush that would hide most of my movement. I was right against the tent wall when I heard him talking to himself about how much he was going to enjoy her. Yeah right, that was never going to happen. Making a small cut into the fabric, I saw that I had a clear path. One good thing about waiting was that he was so preoccupied with her standing in front of him that he never heard me coming. It was over too soon for my taste but time was a factor. One clean slice across the throat and she was mine!

Aleeka

That little mealy-mouthed bastard got me before I even realized he was there. How had he gotten past the traps and alarms? Damn coward, had to dart me with God only knows what. It felt like my brain was trying to crash through my skull. As soon as I can see straight I’m going to blast that fucker straight to kingdom come.

Why am I so cold, did I die? Maybe that dart wasn’t a tranq but something else. No, if I was dead I wouldn’t be in pain. Come on wake up already. If only everything would stop moving and spinning.

“Come on sweet, wake up.”

That’s not the voice I remember. Too deep and strong.

“Fight it beauty, come on.”

No, definitely different. The other was a high-pitched screech like his nuts were being squeezed or maybe that’s just what I wanted to do to him.

“Ahhh, shit that’s cold!!” I screamed after freezing water hit my body.

“I’m glad that finally worked, you had me worried for a minute.”

When I tried to set up a wave of dizziness hit me and I slumped back to the ground. This time I just tried to open my eyes without moving. At first, everything was still blurry but as my eyes focused the most astounding creature came into view.

Looking up I saw dark emerald eyes staring back at me with a look of concern. His wavy black hair hung to his broad shoulders and a scar ran under his left eye just along the cheek bone. Judging from that scar, he was very lucky it wasn’t a little higher or that eye would have been a goner. The only other male I had ever seen, besides my father, was that greedy little bastard that had captured me. I was so mesmerized by him that it took me a moment to realize he was speaking to me.

“What’s your name?”, he asked as he snapped his fingers in my face, trying to get my attention.

“Don’t do that, I have a freakin headache. You don’t have to make so much noise for God’s sake.”

“Well if you had answered me in the first place I wouldn’t have had to. Now if you are done bitching can you tell me your name.”

Now that he spoke maybe he wasn’t so mesmerizing after all. In fact, annoying was really starting to compete with my first assessment.

“Aleeka.”

“See, now was that so hard. My name is Galen. Here let’s try sitting up again, shall we.”

When he touched my arm to pull me up, I felt a shock go through my body. Never had I felt anything like that, and it scared me. Who was this man?

“Don’t touch me, again.”, I stated through gritted teeth, wanting to be far away from him.

“Hey, I’m trying to help you. What’s your problem?”

“You are my problem. I don’t want or need your help. Just leave me alone.”

“Woman, you have got to be the most stubborn creature I have ever came into contact with. How the hell am I your problem? I saved you, bring you to a safe place and then try to help you recover. I just don’t get you.”

“How do I know you’re not the one who paid that scum for me in the first place, huh? You expect me to what just wake up like sleeping beauty and be grateful for everything you have done for me. I don’t know you from Adam, and I sure as hell don’t trust you. I don’t even know where I’m at and …”, that is when I decided to look down.

“WHAT THE FUCK AM I WEARING!?”, as I stared in horror at the thin gown that covered my body. Well the fabric was still there, but cover it did not. Since it was drenched in water you could see every detail of me through the transparent slip. At my discovery, he also looked down and I noticed a slight smile lift the corner of his full lips.

“Don’t worry sweet, I’ve seen it before, you don’t have to be so upset.”

“You what? How have you seen me before?”, my anger starting to boil over. “What did you do while I was out? If you touched me so help me I’ll kill you! I w…”.

“How dare you accuse me of such a thing?”, Galen thundered at me, a look of pure insult washing over his features, making him look like an avenging angel. “I saw you at the slave auction when they paraded you up on stage in nothing but gold chains and you were the star attraction. Afterwards as the man that bought you placed you in his caravan, I made sure to follow you. When they stopped for the night, I snuck in to his tent, where I might add he was preparing to fuck you, slit his throat and stole you for myself.” taking a breath and grabbing my chin so that I would be looking up at him he continued, “Hear me and hear me well fiery one, I don’t take kindly to my honor being questioned. When I touch you, it will not be while you are drugged, you will come to me willingly and it will be my name you shout to the heavens.”

With that he turned and walked over to the camp he set up, leaving me sitting on the ground in a shocked stupor. I had been auctioned off like a piece of property, and almost raped. I couldn’t hold back the tears as they started slipping down my cheeks. Hell, I didn’t even try.

Galen

I was so pissed when I walked back to the campfire that I felt like I could have split a boulder in half just by looking at it. That is until I heard this tiny sound. It was so low that it took me a second to recognize it but when I did, my heart shattered.

I looked back to where I had left Aleeka on the ground, to see her curled up with her knees to her chest, sobbing. She was trying to be so quiet but I saw her frame shake with every breath. I shouldn’t have been that harsh with her. Damn, I am such an idiot; how could I just throw it in her face like that. She had every right to be suspicious of me, I would have been if the tables had been reversed.

Looking through my pack I found an extra blanket and walked over to her. Kneeling beside her I place the blanket over her beautiful body. “I’m sorry precious, I shouldn’t have done that.”

When I touched her shoulder, she turned and looked up at me. Hearing her crying was one thing but to see her golden eyes wet with tears and her pale cheeks flushed from her sobs, I was hit with such pain in my chest that I almost doubled over. Then she surprised me by throwing her arms around my neck and putting her head on my chest. I held her against me as tightly as I could without hurting her. Picking her up I made my way over to the campfire and nestled down on my own blanket with her in my lap. I held her, rubbing her back until she had cried herself out.

Suddenly she looked up from her place on my chest, looking deep into my eyes, then moving to my neck and inhaling deeply. A few seconds later Aleeka raised her head, confusion clouding her eyes.

“Yes little one, I’m the same as you. Have you never met another dragon before?”, I asked, her eyes widened even more as she shook her head.

“No. I was very young when my father left for the war. He never returned.”, she said softly. “Mother and I stayed hidden in our mountain home until she too passed away. She grieved for my father till her last breath.”

“I have often heard of that in mated pairs. Were you still young when she passed?”

“She held on as long as she could to make sure I could fend for myself. It has been two years now that I have been alone.”, lowering her head as if the tears might come back.

“That will not happen again, you are mine now. I will take care of you.” I put my fingers under her chin to raise her face to mine. Staring into the beautiful golden depths of her eyes, I lowered my lips to gently taste of hers. When I made contact, she let out a tiny squeak of surprise. Slowly, I increased the pressure until her succulent lips opened to me. I lightly let my tongue trace the inside of her bottom lip, and was rewarded with the sweetest sound I had ever heard. At her little moan, a growl of pure masculine approval surged from my chest. I wanted her, to taste her, to feel her writhing under me. I could feel my dragon just under the surface, urging me to take what was mine, to claim her for us both. Moving from her lips, I left a trail down the side of her neck. The scent of her was driving me crazy, her dragon was close too. I lightly nipped where her shoulder met her neck then I felt her hands on my chest pushing me away. When I pulled back it was not desire that greeted me in those glowing eyes but fear.

I let her pull away from me and stand. She backed away with confusion and fear still etched on her face.

“What are you doing to me?”, she whispered as she moved.

“Aleeka, I didn’t mean to frighten you. Come here darling.”, as I stood up, I held my hand out to her but she backed away further.

“No, stay back.”, her eyes wide as she looked at me.

Maybe I had been rougher than I though. She seemed to have been enjoying it, could I have read her that wrong?

“Baby, tell me what’s wrong. Did I hurt you? Talk to me.”, I pleaded with her. The last thing I wanted was her terrified of me.

“I don’t understand…”, she softly answered, “how I feel when you touch me.”

As understanding dawned on me, I walked over to her and this time she held her ground.

“Sweet one, your body is responding to mine. It is preparing for our mating. There is nothing to be afraid of, I promise.”, as I stoked her cheek. For all her fire and spirit, I had forgotten to take into account just how innocent she was. How secluded her life had been.

“How about something to eat, huh? Sound good?”, as I reached for her hand. To say I was happy when she put her delicate, little hand in mine and allowed me to lead her back to the blankets, would be a complete understatement.

“I don’t suppose you have anything else that I could wear, do you?”, she asked with a shy smile on her tender lips. I nodded and dug through my pack to find something.

“I’ll be back in a moment, I’m going to find something for supper. You can change while I’m gone, okay.”

I returned to find her stoking the fire and dressed in the clothes I had given her. I had to hold back a chuckle at the sight of her in my pants and shirt. The poor thing was drowning in my outfit but at least she was dry and warm. When she saw me approach she turned and smiled. I’m still not sure if that smile was for me or for the wild hog I had managed to bring back for supper but I wasn’t about to overthink it.

Aleeka

I hadn’t realized how hungry I was until the smell of the roasting hog hit me. My mouth was watering by the time Galen carved me up some of the meat. Oh My God, the taste was astounding, I had never had meat so tender and juicy before. My manners entirely left when that first piece hit my tongue and the juice slid down my throat. I actually growled when he accidently got too close to my plate. Where the hell had that come from? Luckily a broad grin broke out on his face and he brought me more food. When I was so full I felt like I was going to pop I finally let him have the plate back.

“I’m sorry about my manners”, as I licked the juice from my fingers, still relishing the taste, “I can’t believe I growled at you.”

“You have nothing to apologize for precious, you were starving. Hell, most of the dragons I knew would have taken a chunk out along with the growl.”, he declared while smiling at me. “Just let me keep my fingers and I’ll feed you whenever you want.”

“I can live with that, I suppose.”, as a laugh bubbled up in me. It felt good to laugh and to see him laugh. I was glad to leave the intensity of earlier behind and just relax. Galen seemed to realize that I needed time to work through my feelings first. And he did everything in his power to put me at ease.

I could listen to Galen talk about the places he had been and things he’d seen for hours. Even though I didn’t know what some of the stuff he was talking about really was, it was fascinating to hear about it. I laughed the most at some of the antics he and his pals had pulled while in training camp for the war.

Finally, the food and lightheartedness got to me and I was stifling a yawn.

“Come here sweet, lay down and rest. I won’t do anything but lay beside you alright.”, as he stretched out on the pallet and lifted the blanket for me to curl up next to him.

Laying next to him, his scent seemed to permeate my senses. It was spicy and male, of trees and something that was just him. It comforted me and overwhelmed me all at the same time. Earlier when he was kissing me it felt so good, too good. Then when he bit my lower neck, I felt my dragon right under my skin. She hadn’t done that in years. In fact, it was only since my capture that I had even felt her again. I knew that she wanted Galen but I didn’t understand what she wanted with him. Mother had never discussed such things with me, most of the time she was only physically there, her mind was back when father was still alive. I was so afraid of the way he made me feel, and of the heat that spread over my body. If I did mate with him what would he do to me? Would I even want to? My dragon was screaming yes, let him have you, surrender to him. But my mind kept saying no, I will not be owned.

**

I awoke with a start the next morning. It took a minute to get my wits about me and when I realize Galen wasn’t beside me or in the camp I started to panic. He hadn’t left me, had he? No, his stuff was still here, that was a good sign, right? When I heard a twig break off to my right, my dragon chose that moment to make a decision, and spit a column of fire in that direction. That was not the best decision she could have made. Especially when I heard who was on the receiving end of that fire.

“WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK!!!”, Galen screamed as he walked into view, his clothes still smoking in places. He was darkened head to toe from the flames but thankfully not otherwise hurt. A little singed yes, but not hurt.

Galen

I had awoken that morning from the best sleep I’d had in ages, mostly in part to who was sleeping next to me. I watched her sleep for a while before nature called and I had to get up. Since we had finished off the hog last night I figured I would surprise her with a deer for breakfast. When I turned the corner heading back into the camp I looked up just in time to see a column of fire shooting straight for me. Fortunately, I was able to dive out of the way of most of it. She had tried to fucking roast me. Thank God, she hadn’t been in dragon form or I would have been a very crispy goner.

“WHAT THE EVER-LOVING FUCK!!!”, I screamed as I walked into the camp. I was still trying to put out some of the smoking places when I looked over to find her on the pallet. If I hadn’t been so shook up I might have thought she was cute sitting there on her knees, with her big doe eyes and her hands over her mouth. But hell, I was barely in better shape than that hog from last night.

“I’m so sor…”, she started but I cut her off with a “DON’T” and left it at that. I made a mental note right then and there to always announce my presence and to never startle her again.

**

After breakfast, I figured that we should start moving. I was never sure if it was just my restless sprit or the army training but I never liked to stay in one camp for very long.

“We should be able to cross into Lonean Provence in a day or two, as long as the weather holds up. Being from the mountains, you will probably feel more at home there.”

“Lonean? Really?”, she asked as surprise colored her expression. “I didn’t realize I was that far from home. I never thought I would leave Calda Falls, much less be traveling to Lonean. Is it true there was once a great dragon population there?”

“Yes, it’s true. It was once my homeland but most of my town was destroyed in the war. It’s still has some beautiful places though. I really think you will like Kales. It reminds me of Calda Falls, as it has the same lushness to its forests and the waterfalls.”

“You’ve been to Calda? When?”

“Oh, many years ago, when I was still a green recruit. We passed through there on a training expedition.”

We continued to make small talk as we finished packing up the camp and loaded the transporter. She seemed to have bounced back from her earlier embarrassment about trying to barbeque me and was looking around excitedly at everything we passed as we rode by. It was as if I was getting to see the world through a new set of eyes when I watched her expressions. I had traveled this route hundreds of times but I saw the wonder of it for the first time as I watched her. Even with everything those mongrels had put her though, she was still able to open up to the wonder around her. I had to admit, she was a lot stronger than me. Even with my training I don’t think I could have been as resilient as her.

We traveled for most of the day, only stopping when necessity dictated. I wanted to put as much distance between us and Demarie as possible. Finally, as dusk approached I found us a little area near a stream that would make a nice campsite for the evening. We were making excellent time and there was no reason to push any further into the night.

As we set up with only what we would need for the night, something in the air felt off to me. Aleeka seemed to feel it also as she moved closer to me and nodded. I caught a strange scent just as a dart flew past me almost hitting Aleeka. She let out a small scream as I pushed her to the ground behind a large boulder and scanned the area for our threat. I saw something move out of the corner of my right eye and spun around just in time to miss another dart. Alright you bastards you want to play, let’s play. I rolled to the ground and behind a bush to hide my advance to the tree line where our attacker was hiding. He didn’t even hear me coming as I snuck up and grabbed him around the neck in a choke hold. His spindly legs thrashed about as I lifted him off of the ground. Suddenly Aleeka’s scream broke the air. I quickly dispatched the piece of shit I was holding and ran to help her.

She was surrounded by four of the bastards and when I came crashing through to her it was enough of a distraction for her dragon. I had never seen someone shift so quickly. One minute she was standing there trembling, the next a magnificent golden dragon held her spot. It had happened in the blink of an eye and completely through off her attackers. She sent two of them flying into trees with a meaty thud when her long, thick tail swished between them. The two in front tried to run but there wasn’t enough time, as an arch of fire rained down from her. Their screams were quickly silenced as the flames consumed them.

I had never seen a more glorious creature in all my life. In human form, she was a beauty to behold but her dragon was divine. She was massive with deep golden scales that had red tinges on the edges, giving her a copper sheen and large wings that shimmered in the remaining sunlight. With a long, supple neck and two horns on the top of her head that curved back toward her neck. While my dragon was even bigger than hers and built for power, she was more agile in her movements, more graceful, but just as powerful. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.

When she turned to look at me, I was hit with such an intensity of feeling. My dragon clawed at my skin to get out, to be fully in the presence of this wondrous beauty, and I could deny him no longer.

Aleeka

I hadn’t taken to dragon since I was a little girl. Once I had learned to control it mother had insisted we stay in human form. But I was not about to let those sons of bitches get me again. She had wanted revenge ever since I had woken up from the drugs and now we would have it. I let her have full reign to protect us and she used it. I barely felt anything as my tail sent the two mongrels at the back of me flying. I knew I would no longer have to worry about them when I heard their bodies crash against the trees. As for the two in front, I recognized the voice of one of them and he was going to pay. While in human form my flame was intense to say the least but as a dragon anything that touched my fire would be reduced to ashes in short order. And that is just what they are now, ashes.

I was basking in my retribution when I turned to find Galen staring at me with a look of pure astonishment on his chiseled face. Of course, after seeing him my dragon preened at the look he was giving her. He took in every detain from the top of my head to the tip of my tail and I felt like a goddess as his eyes worshipped me.

Then he fell to the ground, where a dragon five times the size of me took his place. He was enormous, with green scales that had black edges and large, leathery wings tucked into his side. His horns were longer and curved up into deadly points, where mine were duller and curved down. The scar under his left eye was even more apparent now and made him look all the more intimidating. My dragon was entranced with him and took every chance to preen and bow her head to him. With a mighty roar that shook the very ground, Galen walked over to me. I couldn’t think but my dragon let out a low rumble from deep in her chest and bowed low before him. Then he reached his long muzzle out and nuzzled my neck. My dragon was going crazy and making little chortling sounds. She wanted him and she would have him.

The next thing I knew we were both human again and both very much naked. But this time I didn’t feel shameful without clothes in front of him. I wanted him to look, to take his fill of me and to take my fill of him. In clothes, he was a wondrous sight to see but without them he was an utter masterpiece. More scars traced his broad, muscular chest and tight abs. His thighs were powerfully muscled and lead to thick claves that had obviously walked hundreds of miles. But it was what was between those strong thighs that held a fascination for me, as I had never seen a male in full glory before. As my eyes traveled back up the luscious landscape of his hard body, I was rocked by the white-hot desire flaming in his dark emerald eyes. That look sent a heat racing over my body strong enough to make me weak in the knees. I still didn’t understand what was happening but trusted Galen enough to lead me.

Galen

As her golden eyes roamed over my body, it was all I could do not to grab her and mate her right then and there. I knew I would have to go slow with her, or else I could frighten her. But when she looked back up into my eyes and I saw the heat that was in them I couldn’t resist her any more than I could have quit breathing. I reached out for her hand and pulled her close enough for our bodies to touch. It was like paradise to feel her satiny smooth skin against mine. I groaned as she placed a hand on my chest and ran it up to my shoulder to hook it around the back of my neck.

“Do you know this means you are mine and I am yours? We will be bonded for life.”, I asked her one last time before I got to the point I was running on instinct alone.

“I know. I do want you for my lifemate, only you Galen.”

A surge of possessiveness welled up from my dragon as she said those words. MINE. He kept chanting over and over in my ear as I picked her up and carried her to the blankets we had unpacked before we were interrupted. As I laid her gently down on the blanket, I couldn’t resist placing a soft kiss on her plump lips. As my lips touched hers, my fingers ran through her hair holding her to me. Her hair was like touching fresh spun silk as it moved across my hand.

When I pulled back from the kiss, I run my finger down her cheek and under her chin so she would meet my eyes.

“Don’t be afraid my precious one, I make it good for you. Just relax.”, I said, trying to alleviate her fears and wanting to show her how amazing it could be.

“I know you will Galen, I trust you.”

Those words went straight to my heart and to my cock, which was so hard it was beginning to hurt.

Aleeka

I meant it when I said that I trusted him. As he leaned in to kiss me again I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him to me. I wanted this just as much as he did, even if I wasn’t sure how to go about it. When his lips touched mine, I surrendered myself to him. The feel of his tongue tracing the inside of my bottom lip felt so good and I opened my mouth to let him explore further. When my tongue timidly touched his, he let out a low growl that rumbled from his chest to mine. I couldn’t believe just how much that sound affected me. I wanted to hear it again and again.

His kisses left my lips and traveled down my throat. Each little nip was soothed with his tongue swiping over it, only to move and do it again. Upon reaching my collar bone he placed a gentle kiss right in the center, then let his tongue drag down the center of my chest. I almost jumped out of my skin when his hot mouth enveloped one of my nipples. I never knew my breasts could be so sensitive until now. Going back and forth, he worked my nips to a fevered pitch with his teeth and fingers only to sooth them with licks and kisses in between. Just when I though I couldn’t take anymore he moved down my stomach, placing tiny kisses as he went.

“Open for me Aleeka, let me please you.”, as he reached the juncture between my legs. Slowly I spread my legs for him.

“Wider baby, let me see you.” My face was burning hot as he took my thighs in his hands and forced my legs apart at a wide angle.

“That’s much better darling.” His eyes zeroed in on my center and a look of hunger darkened his face. And what he did next had me wondering if I would even survive this mating.

Galen

I knew the exact moment she surrendered to me. Staring down at this beautiful goddess spread wide just for me I was in heaven but as good as she looked I just knew she would taste even better. My mouth was watering as I got between her legs and opened the lips of her little pussy. Her scent alone was driving me up the wall. When I did the first swipe of my tongue over her sensitive core, she let out a yelp and tried to pull away from me. But she was mine now and I was going to pleasure until she couldn’t move.

I wrapped an arm around each thigh and pulled her back into position. I gave her a wicked smile when I looked up and saw her eyes as big around as saucers. “Just relax Aleeka, you will enjoy this, I know I will.” and with a that I went to work.

The first taste of her had me where I damn near came right then. She was already slick but I wanted her soaked before I took her. Slowly I worked my tongue around her sweet pussy. I nibbled her lips and made sure I held on to her tight when I licked part way inside her. The prettiest sounds were coming from her, and they were music to my ears. Then I focused on her clit. My first swipe earned a moan and by the third she was pleading for more. And I was more than happy to oblige. I started to work one of my fingers into her and I felt her tense when I hit her barrier. I hated the idea of causing her any pain but it was the way of nature. I just had to make sure that wasn’t all she felt.

Aleeka

Oh my God, I had never felt anything like what he was doing to me. Surely you could parish from this much pleasure. Reaching down I ran my fingers through his soft, silky hair and just held him to me. The pressure in my lower belly and hips was becoming too much, something was going to have to give. And give it did, as the most wondrous feeling rushed over my body. I screamed out as the tension burst and lights danced before my eyes.

When I came back to earth I looked down to see him smiling up at me, my nectar still shiny on his lips.

“Are we bonded now?” I asked, still slightly dazed.

“Not yet my darling, there is still a lot more to come.”, he said then lowered his head back down to feast on me once again. I was so sensitive that it didn’t take much to have me writhing again.

After I had finished the second time, he slowly made his way back up my body. I could taste myself on his lips and that triggered something primal in me. I wanted all I could get of this man.

Galen

I couldn’t believe this little wildcat kissing me was the same timid creature from a few moments ago. She was so responsive to my touch and absolutely dripping. Now was the time to complete the bond and make her mine.

I held her as I placed my cock at her honeyed opening and she froze when I pushed forward.

“Ahh, it hurts.”, she cried out.

“I know precious, it’s only this one time, I promise. Relax Aleeka, let me in.” I gently continued to push into her. I could feel her nails drawing blood on my shoulders but I didn’t care.

She cried out as her maiden barrier gave away and I filled her completely. Oh God she felt so good around my cock, so hot and tight. But I knew that at this particular moment I was the only one enjoying it. I stayed as still as possible, allowing her time to become accustomed to the intrusion.

Aleeka

Intense pain seared through me as Galen entered me. All the pleasure I had just encountered vanished in that moment and I couldn’t hold back the cry that escaped my lips or the tears that filled my eyes. Please say it wasn’t like this every time, I would never make it.

He took his time raining kisses down on my face and neck, and while I still didn’t feel great, the pain had thankfully started to subside. I relaxed even more when he kissed my deeply, gently coaxing my tongue to play with his. Slowly he started to move his hips and I felt little pinpricks of pain but nothing like before.

“Is this okay, precious? Does it still hurt?”, he asked as concern shone in his dark eyes.

“It’s okay, it’s not as bad now. Make me feel good again, please.” and at my request his eyes darkened even more.

He guided my legs to wrap around his waist and this pushed him even deeper inside of me. I had no idea of where he ended and I began. With deep inside of me he was able to hit a spot that threatened to take my breath away.

“More,” I begged as the pleasurable tension once again began to rise in my core. The pain was gone now, replaced with a dull ache that only his cock could fix.

My dragon was just beneath the surface and when I open my mouth it was she who spoke.

“More, You are my master, Own me, show me I belong to you!”, my voice raspy because of her. But it didn’t matter because she was speaking to Galen’s dragon, not the man and he was all ears.

Galen pulled from me with a mighty roar and flipped me over onto my hands and knees. When he pulled from me I could smell my virgins blood and it excited me to know that it was Galen who wore it.

He drove back into my tight pussy with a force that pushed me forward and I would have fell if he hadn’t had ahold of my hips. Pain and pleasure dueled as he thrust his thick cock into me hard and fast. His claws had extended and were drawing pinpoints of blood on my hips as he gripped me tighter. Primal screams were escaping my lips as I took everything he had to offer. Sweat dripped from us both as we were locked in our ancient dance, both battling toward that glorious finish. With one final complete thrust he filled me till I had nothing more to give and the strongest climax yet racked my body as he gripped my shoulder with his sharp teeth and bit down.

Galen

Pure instinct took over when her dragon spoke, and I was more that capable of giving her what she needed. Flipping her over I drove into her hot, tight pussy like my life depended on it. My dragon was just under my skin clawing to get a taste of his female. He knew that he was the only one to ever breech her and was determined to own her. As I made one final hard push into her, her little cunny clamped down on my throbbing cock, pushing me over the edge as I found her shoulder and bit. I came as her blood filled my mouth and I could feel her pussy milking me for every last drop of my seed.

As our heartrates slowed back to normal I didn’t want to pull from her tight hold on me but knew we couldn’t stay like this forever. Gently I pulled from her and was greeted with a small whimper of disapproval that brought a smile to my lips. I pulled her with me as I fell over to my side on the blanket below. I gently lapped at the mark I had made on her shoulder as she snuggled closer to me. I fell asleep wrapped around the most precious thing in my life. My mate.

**

I awoke to a peacefulness that I had never had before. For the first time in my life my dragon was content. He was so happy he was almost purring. Speaking of purring, that was exactly what the sweet succulent vixen in my arms was doing. We were still in the same position we had fell into last night and I didn’t want to move. I loved the feeling of her curvy body snuggled into mine. The way my chin rested on her head and her arms wrapped around mine holding me as tight as I held her. This was what I had been looking for my whole life.

Aleeka

Oh man, everything was sore, but I felt so good. Galen was still draped over me and I had never felt so safe and happy in my life. And as much as I loved being curled up with him, I really had to pee.

As I tried to move, Galen clamped down on me. “And where do you think you are going, my little vixen?”, he whispered before he traced the outer shell of my ear with his tongue causing me to giggle.

“Well, if you must know, I really need to relieve myself.”

“I guess we can get up then.” teasing me as he let me go. It was strange but I felt bereft without his touch and wanted nothing more than to have him hold me again. I could finally understand some of what my mother had gone through. I had only been mated a single night and couldn’t stand the idea of being without him, how strong mother must have been to endure father’s death after being mated for years.

“Are you alright my darling?” Galen asked pulling me out of my thoughts, I hadn’t even realized how lost I had been in them.

“Yes, I’m fine. I was just thinking.” He looked at me like he wanted to know more but at the shake of my head, he decided to let it go.

**

Galen was wading into the stream when I returned. He had turned when he heard me approach and beckoned me to join him. Surprisingly the water was warmer than I expected at this time of day.

“Why is the water warm, the sun hasn’t been up long enough to warm it this much.”

“There is a hot spring that overflows into this stream a little ways back. It keeps it warm year-round.”

I had to admit that the water felt wonderful over my sore, achy muscles. It stung a little on my cuts at first but I would savor every memory they brought. Carefully Galen washed the blood and sweat from my body. I gasped and a shiver ran down my spine as heat coursed though my body when he licked over my mate mark. I turned to face him, wanting to feel his massive body. I washed him just a carefully as he had done for me and when I saw the marks on his shoulders my dragon let out a guff of delight. He was as marked as I was.

When I finished my task, he tried to gather me in his arms again but I resisted him. I wanted to pleasure him this time and took him by the hand, leading him out of the water.

When we reached the blanket we had slept on, I pointed and said sit. He raised an eyebrow at me and a smirk danced on his full lips, but he sat.

He tried to reach for me again, to pull me into his lap but I moved out of his grasp.

“One moment please.” as I moved back within reach, “I have a question.”

“I may have an answer, what would you like to know?”

“When you … you know… licked me… down there,” I managed to stutter out not grasping how hard this might be when I started. “Can a woman, uh, do that for …a man?”

The smile on his face was instantly replaced with an intense hunger as he replied to my question, “Yes, they can. Is that what you want to do?”

As I nodded my head, he growled and grabbed me, pulling me on top of him. His kiss was deep and absolute. I knew his dragon was fully awake now and so was mine.

“How do I do it?” I asked as I pulled back from the kiss and started kissing down his neck just has he had done to mine. And when I nipped his shoulder, the growl that followed vibrated my entire body. I would have to remember how much he liked that.

I slowly made my way down his broad chest, licking and sucking on each of his nipples till they were hard enough to cut glass. Then I ran my tongue down the center line of his abs, pleased with the sounds coming from him.

When I had made my way to his cock, it took me by surprise how big he truly was. I had only seen it for a few brief seconds yesterday and now I was face to face with it, so to speak. No wonder it had hurt when he first entered me. How had he even gotten it in me?

When I traced my fingers down the side, he let out a hiss and I wondered if I had hurt him.

“I’m so sorry, did I hurt you?” I asked as I jerked my hand back.

“No, my precious one. Remember how it felt when I touched your little pearl?” I nodded at his question, “It feels that good for me when you touch my cock. Here, give me your hand.”

As I did he place it on his hard shaft, and wrapped his hand around mine. Slowly, using his hand to guide mine he moved up and down on his engorged member. After he removed his hand, I took over entirely. It amazed me how something so hard could feel so silky in my hand.

I leaned forward and ran my tongue across the very tip where a small bead of his seed had formed. The spicy taste of him encouraged me further and I was rewarded with a deep moan when I circled my tongue around the head of his cock. I licked and stroked him till he was the same writhing mess I had been the night before. I couldn’t get enough of his flavor and I felt so powerful knowing that I could pleasure him.

His fingers tangled in my hair as I worked his shaft with everything I had.

He warned me “I’m not going to last much longer.” but I was too far gone in wanting to please him. I wanted to taste more of him. When he came, it shocked me at first and I pulled back causing the first few jets to land on my chin instead of in my mouth. But I recovered in time to cover his erupting cock again.

Galen

I think my mate was trying to kill me. Not only had she totally thrown me for a loop when she said she wanted to taste me as I had her, but she actually wanted to swallow my seed. I had to stop her ministrations when I finally became too sensitive to touch. When she lifted her head, she took the back of her hand and ran it across her mouth and chin. The sight of her with her swollen lips and glowing eyes was almost enough to make my tired cock stand up for round two.

I pulled her to me and kissed her deeply. Worked my hand down between her legs I found her pussy was already soaking wet. Oh, my mate was going to be the death of me but oh what a glorious death it would be. Quickly I found her clit and circled it with my fingers. As she started to buck against my side I thrust two fingers deep inside her and continued working her clit with my thumb. She screamed out my name as her hot little box held my fingers in a death grip. I continued to gently stroke her as she came down from her climax, a smile of satisfaction on her lips. Both fulfilled we fell back into sleep till later that afternoon.

**

I felt a nudge at my ribs and turned to look at my beauty.

“I’m hungry.” and I could totally agree with that. Food sounded fantastic at that moment. Reluctantly, I got up and looked through my pack for another pair of pants for the both of us. Slipping them on I toss the extra pair to Aleeka, along with a shirt. Although I had much rather of had her naked.

When I returned with two nice sized turkeys I was pleased to see that she had already gotten the fire going and all was ready to start roasting. Sitting together sharing our meal, a feeling of love for my mate swept over me and I was truly thankful for fate bringing me to her.

As it was already late afternoon, I decided to put off traveling until the morning since we only had a little over a day’s journey left.

Aleeka

After a quick breakfast, we had left early that morning and were within sight of the Lonean Province border when we stopped for the evening. We had only stopped as necessary and had even eaten lunch as we continued to travel. Both of us were ready to be done with this land and move on from the past.

Around noon the next day, we finally crossed the border and I was struck by the vastness of the mountain ranges.

“All these mountains remind me of home, it’s unbelievable how different the land looks just from one border to the next.”

“We still have about a day’s journey to get to Kales, but you will love it there. I think it will remind you a lot of Calda Falls.”

“Even if it didn’t look a thing like Calda I would still love it because that is where you are and as long as I’m with you that’s all that matters.” I said as I stood on tiptoes to kiss him.

Galen

It was just before noon when we finally made it to the little town of Kales. I had been born here, as had most of my family. But due to the war not much was left. It had tried to rebuild but it would never be the same again. Nonetheless it still drew me back here just like a moth to a flame, but now I actually had a reason to settle in one spot.

We walked the market area and I delighted in the expressions on Aleeka face. Especially when she got to meet another dragon. Old Sam had been ancient when I was a kid and he still looked the same, well maybe he had a few more wrinkles. Like me, he too had been born in this town. He remembered well back when dragons were still plentiful. I had listened to his stories for hours as a child, that is until I had been placed in a training camp at thirteen.

Aleeka was so taken with the old man that I had to promise to bring her back to town soon so that she could talk with him, before she would even agree to visit some of the other venders.

Aleeka

I was in love with this town, and meeting Old Sam had been the highlight of my day so far.

I had never been around people before and I was afraid that I might have been a little overwhelmed, but as long as Galen was by my side I felt nothing but safety.

As we wondered around to the different venders Galen found one that offered women’s clothing and got me something to wear that would actually fit me.

It was getting later in the day, when he decided that it was time to head to our home. I couldn’t wait to see it.

Dusk was upon us as we made it up the eastern slope one of the mountains. Still, it was light enough to see a small cabin in the distance. When we got to it, you could tell that it was older but it had been mostly maintained.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here to look after the place. I had no reason to want to be here, until I met you that is. I want this to be our home Aleeka, a place to raise our children and live our lives together. I love you, my precious mate.”

Tears filled my eyes and slipped down my cheeks at his words. “And I love you, this will be our home.”

In the following days fixed the few minor things that needed repair around the house and when most of that was done Galen would take me on the trails he remembered from his childhood.

One afternoon in particular he delighted in taking me to a waterfall that was close by. It was so beautiful to watch the water cascading over the high ridge near the top of the mountain peak. And when the sun would hit the water just right rainbows could been seen. Soon this became one of our favorite spots to relax and to make love. Galen had even taught me how to fly here. So, this is why I brought him here to tell him the news.

“Love what is it? Would you please tell me already?” he begged as we made our way up the slope to the falls.

“Would you just be patient, we’re almost there, five more minutes isn’t going to kill you.”

“Fine but this had better be good.” he stated as he pouted, but if you were to accuse him of it he would deny it till his last breath.

As we reached the falls he turned to me, “Okay, now what is it?”

“Turn around and stay that way till I tell you different.”

“What…” he started but I held up my hand and rotated my finger. “Fine.” he said with a huff.

My love was not a very patient man. I quickly undressed and moved closer to him, putting my hand on his shoulder to turn him around.

A look of confusion past his features as I took his hand and put it on my belly, right the small swell that had begun. As understanding dawned on him, he looked back and forth from his hand to my eyes.

“A baby?” he whispered softly almost afraid to say the word out loud.

I nodded and said, “Our baby.”

Tears began to shine in his emerald eyes as he dropped to his knees in from of me and placed a kiss on the lower part of my belly. I held him to me as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

Slowly, I sank down to the ground to lay in the soft grass with my mate and delighted in knowing that he was mine as I leaned over to kiss him. His hand came up to tangle in my hair as the kiss deepened. I worked the buttons on his shirt, throwing it open, as he licked and nibbled at my neck. I worked on his pants next, freeing his cock for my taking. Straddling his hips, I impaled myself on his thick shaft. Placing my hands on his chest, I rode my love. Taking him deep into me and crying out his name as wave upon wave of ecstasy washed over me. My climax setting off his as my pussy clamped down on him. As his seed fills me, I lean forward to lay on his chest. As we lay together, still joined, happiness fills my heart and I know there is no place I had rather be, than right here beside my love.

“I love you Galen, with all my heart.”

“I love you Aleeka, I have from the very first moment I saw you.”

THE END
