Dekario (Dragons Of Kelon) (A Sci Fi Alien Weredragon Romance) by Maia Starr (5)


 

CHAPTER FIVE

REENA RHODES

 

The king asked us many questions about how we came to be on Tiok, and we answered honestly. It was very impressive to be in the presence of the dragon king, and I wondered if he could shift into a full dragon like Commander Triq or if he was only a hybrid dragon like Dekario. I was very interested in all things Draqua as the more time I spent with them, the more I found them fascinating from a scientific perspective. But then Phoenix had enough of the questioning, and I could tell he was getting frustrated when he finally blurted out.

 

“Are you going to help us get back to Earth or not?”

 

The king stopped pacing the room in front of the table where we sat. “You wish to go back?”

 

“Yes. We all do,” Luka said.

 

“That is a very delicate matter and one that I have to give much thought to. It is not as easy as you think to just get you back to Earth,” he said.

 

But I couldn’t hold my tongue anymore either. I needed to know the answer to the question that was burning inside of me. “Where are the other humans?”

 

“How do you know there are humans here?” he asked.

 

“I put it together. It’s obvious that there are, but I have not seen any so far in the hours that we have been here.”

 

“Yes, Dekario said you were smart,” the king said. I suddenly felt very impressed that Dekario had commented on something other than my body.

 

“They are here,” the king said. “My wife is human. My mother was human. So was Dekario’s and the other hybrids'1.”

 

“What the hell?” Phoenix said.

 

“How is that possible?” Luka asked.

 

“We Draqua came across a problem many years ago. Our females suddenly became barren out of nowhere. We don’t know if it is a phase or not, but so far it has been the same. So we had to find a way to keep our race alive. This is when we started mating with human females. It was successful and created a hybrid dragon, like I am.”

 

We sat in shocked silence. So many questions ran through my head, but I couldn’t even figure out how to get the first question out of my mouth. Luka and Phoenix were dumbfounded.

 

“So you mean that there are human females here that are married and mating with Draqua and creating offspring?” I asked.

 

“Yes, at least a thousand or more of them,” he answered.

 

“What? How is that possible? Where did they come from? We never even knew that you existed!” Luka said.

 

“Yes, that is the delicate situation that you find yourselves in. We take the human females from your planet. We have for years now, unknown to your species, and that is why it is almost impossible to let you go back. You now know that we exist and that is information that could put the future of the Draqua in jeopardy.”

 

“You have been stealing humans from Earth?” Phoenix said angrily.

 

“Phoenix…” I said trying to calm him.

 

“What makes you think you can just do that?” Phoenix continued.

 

“Phoenix,” I said again.

 

“I understand you are upset. I would be also, but it is a necessity. Therefore I need time to think about his return to Earth. It all comes down to trust. If you return to Earth, would you not tell anyone about us, or would you tell? It has been done before long ago. A human female was returned to Earth after spending time with us, and she said nothing about it.”

 

“What happened to her?” I asked.

 

“She chose to return here and be my wife,” the king said.

 

I was in complete shock by his answer. I didn’t believe him. “Can I meet her?” I asked.

 

“Yes. She is always happy to meet new humans, but she is away on the other side of the island with our son, who is in warrior training. When she returns, I will tell her about you. For now, let me think about this return to Earth decision. Antaris!” he shouted.

 

The door opened, and a beautiful Draqua female with long black hair that fell down her back walked in.

 

“This is Antaris; she is born of a human female and an elder Draqua. She is a hybrid like me, but she cannot shift like I can. She is the new generation and hope for the future. She is to be your guide today and take you around the village,” the king said as he nodded to her.

 

“It would be my pleasure,” she said as she looked directly at Phoenix. It was then that I noticed that Phoenix’s jaw was practically on the floor as he looked at her. I guess his anger had suddenly left him.

 

“Come with me,” she said as she turned toward the door. Luka and Phoenix followed, but I stopped in front of the king.

 

“King Hydros, I still have many questions,” I said.

 

“That is understandable. You will get your chance to ask me in time. For now, see the village. See what the Draqua are about. There are humans about the village, and you can see for yourself if they are happy. Go,” he said to me. I sighed and followed everyone else out of the grand palace and down the spiral staircases that led to the beaches.

 

Once we were on the sand, I was surprised by what I saw. What I had seen from high up in the trees was only part of it. Now that we were on the beach and in the thick of the bustling activity I could see just how many that I thought were Draqua females were actually human females. They were dressed the same as the Draqua females, so it was easy to see why I had mixed it up.

 

“This is the beach. This is where we swim and fish and have fun,” Antaris said. It was then that I noticed a large mound moving in the water. I stopped and stared at it. Then with a burst of water, a Draqua surfaced and flew straight in the air. It was beautiful. I was jealous of what they could do. They could fly and swim fast and who knows what else. Then I realized something. “Oh, I get it!” I said out loud as they turned to look at me. I smiled a big smile proud of myself as I said, “Draqua means aqua like water and Draq like draco or dragon, so it’s water dragon.”

 

“Very good,” Antaris said.

 

“Antaris!” I heard a female voice call out. We all stood in shock as a beautiful human female bounced her way over to Antaris. She was probably thirty-eight years old or so, and she looked very happy as she held up a large shell. “Look what I found. Your father is going to love this.”

 

“Mother,” Antaris said. “These are humans newly arrived to Kelon.”

 

“Oh! Welcome! You are going to love it here. Isn’t it beautiful? Nothing on Earth can compare, right?” then she stopped and looked at Phoenix and said, “A male? That’s a first.”

 

“Yes, the king has asked me to show them around. I will return home for dinner,” she said as she gave her mother a kiss on the cheek and then turned to us. “Come; I will show you the center.”

 

Luka, Phoenix, and I all looked at each other in shock. I think we had all thought the same thing. We were thinking the human females were locked up in chains and forced to be here against their will, but that was not the case at all. As we walked with Antaris, we passed more and more human females all engaged in the daily activities. None of them showed any signs of being ill or oppressed.

 

“This is the center. This is where we gather for celebrations and announcements and such,” Antaris said.

 

“When is the next celebration?” Phoenix asked, flirting with the young Draqua female.

 

“A month from now. We give thanks to the planet of Kelon for providing for us every month. We are very fortunate to live in such a place and celebrating it reminds us just how grateful we should be,” she said.

 

“I can’t wait to see it,” Phoenix said with a grin.

 

“A month from now?” Luka said looking at him, but he was too much in a romantic stupor to realize that he had just said he was going to stay here for a month when we had just asked the king to take us back to Earth.

 

“Now I will show you the communal eating areas. You can go there any time of day and be fed. No one goes hungry here. Then I will return you to your huts,” Antaris said.

 

“Lead the way,” Phoenix said.

 

Luka looked at me and giggled at Phoenix’s sudden change.

 

In the communal eating areas, we had a lot of fun. There were massive outdoor kitchens, and we learned to take part in the work. I helped cut fruit. It was red and reminded me of mangos. Luka helped the women by beating a sort of flour that they created out of a ground seaweed of sorts. The scientist in me wanted to know how it was all done. I wanted to see the entire process. I wanted to see where the seaweed was harvested and how they got it into flour form. I wanted to know where this fruit was picked. Did it come from a tree, or the ground? I picked up a slice and smelled it then I ate it. It burst with flavor in my mouth. I looked over at a hybrid child that laughed at my reaction to the tartness of the fruit. I laughed too. I saw Phoenix learning to clean and cut open fish as he worked with Antaris. I could tell that he really did like her.

 

When we were done in the kitchens, we joined for a communal meal. It was much more satisfying to take part in making the meal because now I appreciated it more knowing all the work that went into it.

 

When we were done with the meal, Antaris took us somewhere I had never seen before.

 

“Are you sure that we are allowed to go in here?” Luka asked.

 

“Yes, it is fine, I assure you,” Antaris laughed.

 

I was concerned too. We were following Antaris away from the beach and away from the village, deep into the jungle. She was following a very narrow path.

 

“What is in here?” I asked.

 

“Everything,” she said. “This is where most of the food grows,” she said.

 

As soon as she said it, I perked up. I looked around and noticed all the wild fruits and vegetables that I had seen in the kitchen.

 

“Sometimes, if you want to help, we come in here and pick the food but you must do it and right and not overdo it. We need to leave some to grow and feed the jungle animals and keep it all alive. It is a system. You will learn. It takes training,” she said. Then she spent the next hour pointing things out to us and showing us various trails. I knew that I would not be ready to wonder off alone into this jungle any time soon. I needed to study the trail layout first.

 

After we walked down a very long path, I heard the rushing of water. We emerged from the trail into a clearing. “This is the emerald pool,” she said as she pointed at the stunning scenery in front of us.

 

There was a pool of water the color of emerald jade. The waterfall coming down the side of the cliff into the pool was small and shallow, which made it perfect for swimming.

 

“This is incredible!” Luka said.

 

“I just want to jump right in,” Phoenix said.

 

“Yes, please go ahead. We use this for swimming too but most Draqua prefer the ocean. This water soaks into the rocks under the ground and travels in an underground river toward the village. It is where our drinking water comes from,” Antaris said.

 

“Fascinating,” I said as I realized they had their own aquifer.

 

“Woo!” Phoenix said as he jumped into the pool. Luka giggled and then followed him in. Antaris jumped in, and I followed. The water was refreshing as it hit my skin. It did feel good to swim in some cold water after the long space journey that we had endured. We played and frolicked for quite some time.

 

A couple of hours later, we were all back at our huts. I looked out the window expecting Dekario to pop in at any moment. The sun was setting, and I remembered he said he would try to be back by nightfall. I wondered where he had gone. I decided to take this opportunity of being without him to run the hot water in the tub and take a long bath. I had gotten a little dirty on the path through the jungle back to the huts and I wanted to clean up.

 

Plunging myself deep in the water felt great. All of my muscles relaxed, and I realized that I had really needed this. I had done a lot of work in the kitchen and then sightseeing with Antaris. It was more than my muscles had done in a long time.

 

Boom, the loud thud startled me. I felt my hut shake a little. I grabbed a cloth and pushed it into the water over my naked body.

 

“Dekario…” I whispered.

 

The door burst open. Commander Triq stood there. My entire body quivered, and my face turned white.

 

“Reena, I see you have been waiting for me. You don’t need to wait anymore.”

 

“Get out!” I shouted at him.

 

“You don’t mean that. Don’t worry; once I am inside you, it will feel so good you will forget you played hard to get. Look at you lying there wet. How can I not?” he said as he came toward me.

 

“No! Phoenix! Luka!” I shouted at the top of my lungs over and over.

 

“They are in the communal area, eating. They are not up here,” he said as he came toward me.

 

I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to get out of the tub. I thought it would be harder for him to get a hold of me in the bath. I screamed, “Get away from me, you pig!”

 

But it didn’t work. He hovered over me as I trembled in the tub screaming. His smile was menacing. He plunged his hand into the water and caressed my leg. I jerked it away from him. “Get away from me!”

 

BAM! The front door burst open as though a large gust of wind had hit it.

 

“Get the fuck away from her!” a booming voice shouted.

 

Wham! Commander Triq was thrown across the room by an invisible force. He hit the wall hard. I looked at the door to see Dekario standing there. His wings were spread wide behind him, and he was staring down Commander Triq with eyes that seemed to be glowing a light brown. I didn’t know what was happening, but I was glad that he was there. I breathed a deep sigh of relief. I was more than happy to see him at that moment. I felt safe.

 

“What do you think you are doing?!” Dekario shouted.

 

Commander Triq stood up from the ground and growled at Dekario. I knew he was about to shift. I didn’t think the hut would be able to hold him if he did. I remembered how large the black dragon was.

 

“Don’t do it,” Dekario said as his head jerked up, and as he did, Commander Triq was raised off the floor. He was floating in the air. I couldn’t believe it. It was then that I realized that Dekario was doing this.

 

“I’ll pull you out that window and drop you down to the ground before you can shift. Now get out!” Dekario said as he walked in a circle inside the hut, never turning his back to Commander Triq. Commander Triq floated in the air inside Dekario’s force field toward the door. He was finally set down on the platform just outside the door. Then… bam. The door shut and locked.

 

I was in the tub with my mouth wide open. I could not believe that this had just happened. I truly was in an alien world with these strange alien dragon men that had all kinds of mystical powers. It was a lot to wrap my head around. Yet one thing kept interrupting my science logic, and that was that I was completely turned on by Dekario’s rescue. He was so damn attractive to me at that moment. I never thought I would enjoy being the damsel in distress, but now that I was rescued, it was a heady feeling. It filled me with desire, lust, and passion for this dragon being.

 

“Did he hurt you? I will kill him,” he said as he moved over to me and knelt down beside me.

 

It was then that I could no longer hold back my feelings and the floodgates opened. I cried. I put my face in my hands, embarrassed that I was not being strong, but I couldn’t help it.

 

“He didn’t physically hurt me. But he scared me. I really thought he was going to… I mean he wanted to…”

 

“Shh… it’s going to be all right now. He’s gone,” Dekario said as he put his arms behind my wet back and pulled me against his chest. The moment he did it, I felt a sense of safety. I relaxed against him and cried as he moved his hand up and down my back. The thin piece of cloth was still stuck to my body, but I knew that it didn’t cover anything. I was naked against him, and it was a confusing mix of emotions. I felt turned on beyond anything but also still in fear of the encounter with Commander Triq. It was a lot to deal with after dealing with drifting in space aimlessly, then crashing, then losing my crewmates in such a brutal way, and then learning about these alien beings. It had all built up inside of me to this moment of release, and I needed to release.

 

“He will never hurt you again. I promise you that,” he whispered to me as he pressed his lips against the top of my head in a gentle way.

 

“Promise?” I whispered back.

 

“Yes. I promise on my honor as a Draqua,” he said. “You are shaking. Come on; let’s get you out of there,” he said as he let me go and stood up. He moved to the cabinet shelves on the wall and grabbed a bright yellow cloth. He handed it to me as I clung onto the wet cloth trying to cover my body.

 

“Turn around,” I said as I grabbed the cloth from his hand. He grinned and then turned around. I stood up, and the sound of the movement of water was joined by the sound of Dekario letting out a small moan and a sigh.

 

“This is torture, Reena,” he said playfully.

 

“Then you will just have to be tortured,” I said as I stepped out of the tub and wrapped the cloth around me. “Okay, you can turn around,” I said.

 

He turned and looked at me up and down. I knew the wet cloth sticking to me wasn’t much of a cover up and I was dripping wet.

 

“That really isn’t much difference, thankfully,” he said with a grin.

 

“Dekario!” I said as I crossed my arm over my breasts. He cleared his throat and said, “Right, I will leave you now, or I won’t be able to not kiss you,” he said, moving toward the door.

 

His leaving left me in panic. “Wait!”

 

“What, Reena?” he said as he turned to me.

 

“Don’t go. I don’t want to be alone. What if he comes back? I can’t possibly sleep.” I said stepping to him.

 

“You don’t want me to go?” he said arching an eyebrow.

 

“No, I don’t. I want you to stay here. Please…” I said as I moved an inch from him. I couldn’t’ stop myself. I had no control whatsoever over my body. It was on autopilot all of a sudden. He groaned. I pressed my palms against his chest and ran my fingers lightly over his scale pattern.

 

“If you touch me like that…”

 

“You’ll kiss me?” I asked as I turned my mouth up to his.

 

“Yes,” he said with a thick sound to his voice. He leaned down from his tall height and pressed his lips to mine.

 

“Mmm…” I whimpered into his mouth. Dekario’s mouth opened and I opened mine in response. His tongue slipped onto mine softly and gently, and I welcomed it. I was on fire. My whole body was full of this energy that I was receiving from him. It was joy. It was passion. It was lust. I was following my instincts, my womanly instincts to be with this dragon and experience it to the fullest possible extent.

 

I got up on my tiptoes and put my arms around Dekario’s neck, brushing against his long black hair. As I did so, the cloth fell from my body. I pressed my naked, damp body against his and he groaned. He pulled my mouth from his and pulled my arms from his neck. I was shocked by this. Was he going to reject me? He stepped back away from me.

 

I gasped. He couldn’t leave now. I wanted him. I was too far gone in lust to stop now.

 

“What are you doing?” I whispered.

 

“I just want to look at you,” Dekario said.

 

“Oh,” I said, as I stood there vulnerable and naked. He stared at my feet, and I wrinkled my toes up, feeling very exposed. Dekario’s eyes moved up my calves, over my knees, and to my thighs. His gaze lingered between my thighs, and my breathing grew heavier. Then his eyes moved up over my belly to my breasts. Dekario bit his bottom lip as he stared at my ample breasts. I liked this sign of approval from him. It was only turning me on more. Then Dekario’s eyes locked with mine and he said, “Come here.”

 

I moved to him. Then he held his hand up and said, “Wait. Wait there while I shift back.”

 

“No!” I blurted out.

 

“You want me to stay like this, in dragon form?” he arched an eyebrow at me.

 

“Yes, I do. Is that okay?” I asked as I moved to him and ran my hands over his toned abs.

 

“I don’t want to hurt you,” he said.

 

“You won’t. We will be careful,” I whispered. Then I couldn’t help myself anymore. I pressed my lips against Dekario’s toned stomach. He moaned as I did so. Dekario put his hand on top of my head, running his fingers through my hair. I placed soft kisses over his long torso. There was a little bit of dark curls going from his belly button down into his waistband. I licked over it up and down. “Fuck…” he whispered.

 

Then I moved up his body and placed my arms around his neck again and reached up for him to kiss me. Dekario put his hands on my bottom and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around him, and he carried me to the bed. He laid me down on it very softly. He kissed my breasts and I moaned and wiggled on top of the mattress. His mouth pursed over my nipple as he sucked on it, pulling it into his mouth. I thought I would explode in orgasmic pleasure right then and there. Then his tongue flicked at it. Then he moved over to the other breast and did the same thing while his large hand wrapped around the side of my body. His hand was hot, and my skin where his hand met my side was tingling.

 

“You taste amazing,” Dekario said.

 

“You feel amazing,” I said.

 

Then he moved down my body using soft kisses to guide him all the down. He then kissed the inside of my thighs. I held my breath, as I knew what was next. Dekario pushed his face between my thighs and pressed his mouth against my center.

 

“Oh god. Oh god,” I whispered.

 

“How does that feel?” Dekario asked.

 

“Delicious,” I whimpered. I could feel him grin before he went back to pleasing me. His long tongue moved over my clitoris. He pressed on it, applying soft then heavy pressure, then soft again. I crumpled the sheets into my fists trying to hold on to something. I looked down at him and saw his wings spread open wide, hovering behind him. The pattern of scales down his strong arm that held up his weight was very exotic to me. I was with an alien, and that brought me to the brink. The sensations started in the pit of my stomach and filled me with vibration. I could not hold on anymore.

 

“I’m going to release, Dekario. I’m going cum,” I said over and over again in a breathless whisper.

 

“Good, I want you to. I want you to cum for me,” his distinct voice said between licking me. Then he moved his tongue faster and faster as his hand reached up and moved over my belly and cupped my breast, squeezing and massaging it. It was all that I could handle. At that moment, I released into orgasmic pleasure. My body pulsed in my center between my thighs and I screamed out. “Oh yes! Oh yes! Don’t stop!” He licked and kissed me over and over as I allowed the sensation to wash over me. It was so intense that I pushed my fingers through his hair and held on to it, maybe pulling a little harder than I should. Then he slowed down, and I squeezed my thighs together, pressing against his square jaw.

 

Then he moved from my thighs and kissed my belly, going up my body until he was on top of my mouth. I kissed him with passion. I kissed him deeply. Dekario kissed me back with such a hunger that I knew that he wanted to be inside of me right then and there and was struggling to control himself. But I was going to make him wait. It was now my turn.

 

“I want to do it to you now, Dekario,” I said.

 

“Do what?” he asked as he kissed my neck.

 

“What you just did to me,” I said.

 

He stopped kissing me and looked at me. His brown eyes were filled with desire, and he bit his lower lip.

 

“I’m not going to argue with that,” he said.

 

I pressed my hand against Dekario’s chest and rolled him to the side. He was now on his knees as he folded his wings behind him. I stood up from the bed, placing my bare feet on the wooden floor. I grabbed his hands and pulled him from the bed.

 

“Stand up, Dekario,” I said.

 

“Yes, as you command,” he said playfully.

 

He stood up, and I kissed his strong chest. I licked around his nipples and then made my way down. My hands pulled at the loincloth.

 

“Here, let me. It’s on there good,” he said as he undressed himself. Now he stood there naked in the clunky boots that had a blaster gun tucked in a holster on one side and a large knife in the other. I took a step back, putting a couple of feet between us.

 

“What are you doing?” he asked.

 

“I just want to get a look at you,” I said with a smile. He laughed a little and put his hands behind his head as though to surrender himself to me. I let myself get an eyeful. Dekario was naked in front of me, and he was absolutely beautiful. His toned body was firm and masculine. His skin was sun kissed and perfectly smooth. His strong chest was very broad, and his abs were hard. Further down, a mass of dark curls surrounded his massive cock. It was long and firm. It was so thick I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get my mouth around it. I gasped at the sight of it.

 

“Like what you see?” he asked.

 

“Yes, I do,” I said as I stepped toward him. I got right in front of him and got down on my knees. I wrapped both of my hands around his rigid staff, and he groaned as I did so. I looked up at him towering over me. He was such a strong presence, and I couldn’t wait anymore. I licked his staff up and down, over and over as slow as I could. I wanted to tease him. Dekario moaned loudly. His breathing was heavy, and I could see his muscles tense up at my touch. Then I let my tongue move over the tip of it, and my hands moved up and down faster and faster. “Oh, fuck…” he whispered.

 

I was enjoying this experience. It was different. It was new, and I was feeling more aroused than I had ever been in my life. I wanted him inside of me. I couldn’t wait any longer. I stopped. He looked down at me and put his hands on my wrists and pulled me up to him.

 

“I can’t wait any longer,” Dekario said to me. “You’ve made me wait long enough, and I want what I want.”

 

I bit my lower lip as his sensual demands made me feel so damn sexy. I felt alive and beautiful. I watched as his wings stretched out to their full length and then folded neatly behind his back. Dekario picked me up into his arms, carrying me the few steps to the bed. He laid me on the bed gently and playfully growled as he crawled over me. I kissed Dekario’s full lips and prepared myself for what I had waited for. Dekario placed his hips between my thighs, and I immediately felt the tip of his cock press at my center. I gasped as I felt it. Then he pressed his body against mine, and my hands immediately went to his chiseled forearms that had that distinct pattern on them. Dekario pushed his thick cock inside of me, but just an inch. He moaned as we both soaked in the deliciousness of the moment.

 

“Damn, that feels so good. You are so tight,” Dekario whispered to me in a husky voice. I moaned in response to his words, or purred is more like it. Then he moved slowly inside of me. I opened my thighs wider as he went deeper and deeper. Once he was all the way inside of me, we both let out a sigh and then he began to move in and out.

 

Dekario swayed his hips in a pumping motion as he moved in and out of me. I cried out in extreme ecstasy. Then the room became a chorus of our moans and breathing as we lost ourselves in this erotic moment. I ran my hands up and down the sides of Dekario’s torso, feeling every ripped muscle as he moved. I couldn’t hold on any longer. I was still very sensitive after the explosive orgasm he gave me, so I had to release the energy building up inside of me.

 

“I’m going to release. I can’t hold on anymore,” I whispered. Dekario moved in and out of me, faster, and faster. I let out a loud moan as my body convulsed in release. I pressed my face against his strong chest and squeezed my eyes shut as my fingertips dug into his torso. My toes curled, and my legs felt weak and numb. It was not what I expected. It was better. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my life. I was with this alien, and he was shifted into dragon-man form while he was inside of me, and that was something my body was rejoicing in climatic pleasure.

 

Dekario slowed his movement inside of me. He rubbed his hand over my wet hair. Then he moved inside of me with short bursts of movement. His breathing was heavy, and he was wild, like a beast. We stayed in this rhythm for what seemed like twenty minutes. Then I felt his body tense up. Dekario groaned louder and louder as he moved quicker inside of me. “I’m going to release inside of you,” Dekario said to me. As soon as he said the words, I felt the build up inside of me coming to the edge. I released almost instantly as I grew louder and wiggled under him. Then I felt his warmth flow through me.

 

I placed soft kisses on his strong chest. Dekario moved in and out of me slowly, enjoying the lasting sensations of climax. After a minute or so he collapsed his heavy weight on top of me. We lay there in silence, and once again I could hear the waves crashing against the beach outside. I was hyper aware of my surroundings as he stayed inside of me. I was in a hut high in the jungle trees of an alien village on an alien planet. Incredible.

 

Finally, Dekario pulled out of me and stood up. He walked over to the table and grabbed a glass of water and handed it to me.

 

“Thank you,” I said with a smile at this act of kindness from this arrogant dragon. Then as he stood in front of me, he shifted out of dragon form. It was miraculous to watch. Dekario climbed into bed with me and lay on his back, staring at the thatched roof of the hut. As I watched him with his perfect body and completely mysterious ways, I now had time to think. I remembered his rescue of me from Commander Triq. How the hell did he do that?

 

“Tell me something,” I began to say.

 

“You are beautiful,” Dekario responded cutting me off. I laughed.

 

He put his large hand on my back as I sat up in bed next to his long, nine-foot body. “But, how did you do that? With Commander Triq. Some invisible force pulled him off of me? Then he was in the air and out the door. You did that, didn’t you?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Wow. How?”

 

“It’s a mind power that I have. I can move objects with my mind.”

 

“Like telekinesis? No way,” I said.

 

Then the cloth at the foot of the bed suddenly floated in the air and covered us in bed.

 

“Oh my god. That is amazing. But how? How is this done?” my scientific mind asked.

 

“I am not entirely sure the specifics. I only know that I was born with the ability to do this. Many of us hybrids have something like this.”

 

“Hybrids, the result of humans mating with Draqua,” I said.

 

“Yes. That was when it started. Some hybrids can see visions of the future. Others are able to have mind persuasion. Kavik has the ability to paralyze others with the touch of his hand.”

 

“That is insane! I can’t believe it. Though now that I think about it, some humans have claimed to be able to move things with their mind. So I guess the blueprint is there for something like that to happen if you are going to interbreed species like that.”

 

Dekario laughed, “Wow, you really are a scientist as you said.”

 

“Yes, of course I am!” I said playfully slapping his chest.

 

“It only makes me want you again and again,” Dekario said as he grabbed me and pulled me back onto the bed. I let out a little scream. He kissed me. I kissed him, back wrapping my legs around his back and preparing myself for more magic.
