Ferro

“Civilization,” he said with a strangled sigh.

“A bed,” Ana echoed, her voice slightly slurred.

It had been like that all day, though it had grown progressively better as the day went on. The process of healing a jaw did that to her she had explained, once it didn’t hurt her too much to speak.

“Sleep,” he echoed, exhausted.

“Shower,” she said with as much excitement as either of them were likely to manage.

“Good idea,” he said.

The two of them peeled off their clothes, making a beeline for the bathroom together. He let her go in first, his hand sliding down her back to cup her rounded rear end.

“I do not have the energy for that,” she said firmly.

Ferro laughed. “Me neither, but the look was too fabulous to pass up.”

Ana laughed and swatted away his other hand as he ensured neither cheek felt left out. He continued anyway while she fiddled with the water. Seconds later a cascade of liquid came from the ceiling, steam quickly building up. They stepped inside, the clear glass door closing by itself behind them.

Dirt and grime was swept away, momentarily darkening the water as it sluiced over them. He grabbed the provided soap on the wall and proceeded to rub it across her back and sides, then down her arms as he thought over the events from the day.

After telling Ana to jump, Ferro had gone into full-blown attack mode. The red dragon eluded him for the better part of ten minutes, but he had eventually caught up with him. The pair had battled fiercely, trees snapping and groaning as they repeatedly skimmed across their tops. Ferro had finally gotten the upper hand, a hard whip of his tail slamming into the red’s face. Stunned, the other dragon had dropped from the sky, landing hard against a rock outcropping.

Ferro had gone in close to ensure that he stayed down permanently before rushing back to find Ana sitting in the field, alive, if not uninjured. As they found out, her jaw was broken, in addition to the cheekbone. It was mostly healed now, but the swelling that made it difficult to talk would take a day or so to settle.

From there, they had had a rather uneventful trip. As the dawn came, he had descended from the sky and the pair had made their way into a larger village. From there, it had been simple to secure an actual motorized transport to the capitol. The first decent-looking hotel they had come across had gotten his money.

“What an eventful few days,” he said as they dried each other off, comfortable in the presence of each other like they had been doing it for years. It still struck him as odd how fast things were progressing between them, but his dragon was right at ease. If anything, it was urging him to move faster.

“You don’t say,” Ana replied dryly, patting down his chest.

He growled happily, pulling her in tight to kiss her.

Ana put a finger to his lips as he went in hungrily to find her lips. “Gentle,” she said, stressing the fact that her voice still wasn’t right.

“Of course,” he purred, brushing his lips ever so gently against her, restraining his innate desire to overwhelm her. Instead, they shared a soft, intimate moment very unlike much of what they’d had to date.

Even as she melted into him, Ferro realized it was just what they needed. An intimate moment where they weren’t rushed, weren’t running from someone, and where it wasn’t adrenaline coursing through their veins that made them act. This was true passion fostered by the feelings developing between them. Their first time had been more of a carnal need; they hadn’t stopped to truly get to know each other. It was going to be different this time, he already knew it. There was a bond of sorts forming between them.

Was it just feelings? he wondered. Or was it something more?

Long ago, when it became clear to him that he was unique, Ferro had buried the idea of ever finding someone to be with him. But as he aged, and more shifters appeared, he had grown lonely. Other shifters often found mates, people that they were bonded to, that they would spend the rest of their lives with. Even his children had found mates as the dragon bloodlines stabilized and grew.

But never Ferro.

It wasn’t the first time he had considered the possibility since he had met Ana. He pulled his head back, gazing once more into the big blue seas that lived in her eyes, becoming lost in their depths.

“I will never grow tired of looking into your eyes,” he murmured, lowering his forehead to hers.

“Just imagine how good I look on regular sleep and having ten minutes to make myself look presentable,” she teased.

Ferro chuckled. “It sounds like you found some energy,” he teased, his hands sliding down her sides.

Ana’s eyes flicked down past his waist. “As I would say, did you,” she replied, tossing him a wink.

“I will always have energy for you,” he purred, his hands tightening around her waist.

“Flatterer,” she said lightly, jumping slightly as he lifted her from the ground.

“And yet, you do not object,” he teased in return, lowering her to the bed.

“No,” she said between kisses. “I do not.”

The towels had long since fallen away, and he admired the naked curves of her body, this time from a position of comfort compared to their last night together. This bed was sinfully luxurious when put side by side with their prior accommodations. Ana’s eyes rolled up into her head, and he couldn’t tell if that was from his hand sliding between her legs, or the relaxation of sinking into the fluffy bed.

“I didn’t say stop,” she replied from on her back.

“Yes, my dear,” he said, catching himself before substituting another word that would have thrown her off.

Don’t get ahead of yourself.

He dropped to his knees, kissing his way up toward the fire he could feel burning there. The silence from Ana made him wonder if she had dropped off to sleep, but the moment his tongue dragged slowly across her clit, she gasped and began to moan as he continued his motions. Reassured she wasn’t going to fall asleep on him—not that he would have blamed her after their ordeal—Ferro let himself be swept up in the moment.

He let his motions be guided by Ana. As her cries subsided or wavered he would adjust his touch, until she was practically shaking under him.

“Right there!” she cried.

Ferro fought every urge in his body to speed up or change his rhythm, knowing that when she said that, she wouldn’t want him to change a thing. Her eyes met his as she watched him pleasure her, the look in her eyes making him hard. His efforts were successful, and moments later Ana’s back flexed, arching her up from the soft bed as she was wrapped in the throes of her orgasm.

He continued to give her as much attention as he could, until she wrapped her hands around his head, gasping that she needed a moment.

“Of course,” he told her quietly, his lips instead kissing up and over her stomach, giving light attention to her breasts before settling in to the crook of her neck, where he began to nip at the soft flesh there.

As she recovered her wits, Ana made to move between his legs to return the favor. Ferro grabbed her shoulders and gently pulled her back up.

“You broke your jaw,” he told her wryly.

She gave him a sad look. “But that was amazing,” she protested without much effort, “I want to repay you.”

Ferro smiled. “This is not about keeping score,” he told her. “But if you feel so inclined to focus on my pleasure for a bit, I feel sure we can figure something out.”

“Oh?” she asked, arching an eyebrow at his mischievous tone.

“Absolutely,” he promised, rolling onto his back. “Now, come here,” he told her, pulling Ana up until she was straddling him, his cock pressed hard to his stomach by the swollen flesh between her legs. She was still quite slick from his earlier ministrations, and she used that to her advantage now, sliding her hips back and forth against him, coating his cock in her wetness.

“Is this what you wanted?” she asked innocently, looking down at him as she batted her eyes.

If it was possible, his cock grew even harder.

“Yes,” he hissed as her motions brought her in contact with the tip of his cock, the added sensations driving him wild.

“Are you sure?” she asked sultrily, leaning forward so her breasts hung tantalizingly close to his face. “Or is this what you wanted?” She was slowly reaching behind her, and suddenly he felt fingers wrap firmly around his shaft, pulling up on it slightly to direct it to her opening.

“That... works too,” he managed to get out as she sat back into his hips.

Ana gasped as he penetrated her, his thick cock filling her up. He desperately wanted to grab her hips and pull her roughly onto him, but he waited those precious few seconds first, to give her time to adjust to his size.

Then he grabbed her hips and pulled until his entire length was taken.

“F-f-fuck,” she stuttered, her body shaking slightly as if hit by repeated shocks.

“Feels so good,” he replied through clenched teeth, concentrating hard not to succumb immediately to the warmth that coated his cock. It was so tempting, but he didn’t. He let his muscles relax slightly to give them more time to explore together.

“I agree,” Ana forced out.

He looked up at her bobbing up and down slowly, becoming lost in the view as she flexed her leg muscles. Her breasts swung ever so slightly with the movement until she took her hands from her thighs and cupped them.

“You like watching me?” she asked, clearly having picked up on the flare in his eyes as she began to gently pull on her own nipples, still moving excruciatingly slowly up and down his cock.

Ferro nodded jerkily, not trusting his voice just then. He in fact found her so attractive all he wanted to do was slam her against the wall and fuck her has hard as he could.

There will be time for that later. For now, you need to learn about each other.

Part of him vehemently disagreed with that theory, but Ferro was strong enough to ignore that voice. He wanted this to last, to carry the moment with Ana on for as long as he possibly could.

After what was to come next, he knew it might be the last time they could be this relaxed for quite a while.

With a growl Ferro shoved that thought from his head, wrapping his large hands tightly around Ana’s hips. He began to help her with her movement, lifting her up slightly before pulling her hips back down to his and impaling her upon his cock, which just then felt harder than steel.

Ana gasped and moaned, at one point throwing her head back as her pace quickened. Ferro added his growls and grunts to the mix, beginning to exert himself as he moved Ana faster and faster. He could feel her walls tightening around him, but he forced down his matching reaction, clamping down hard any time his body tried to rebel. He wasn’t ready to finish just yet.

The same couldn’t be said for Ana. He felt the sudden shudder from within her, and her motion stopped suddenly as she began to writhe on top of him, her walls tightening far harder than before as they tried to convince him to reciprocate.

He fought the urge, getting lost in watching Ana climax for the second time. It was so arousing to be able to see, to take in the entire action of someone as beautiful as her experiencing the ultimate in life’s pleasures because of him. He could get drunk off that sort of intoxication.

Ana’s eyes finally snapped open, fixating on him as the last of her climax filtered away, leaving her basking in the warm afterglow.

“I don’t have another in me,” she said, her eyelids beginning to droop tiredly. “So don’t go thinking you have to be all macho man and try for the hat trick,” she teased.

He laughed, picking her up and laying her on her back with ease. “I just want to please you,” he whispered.

Strong hands pulled his face to hers, where she kissed him vigorously. “If that’s the case,” she said into his ear before gently nibbling on his lobe, “I want you to fuck me like this. Stay close, keep me warm.”

Her hands kept his face inches apart from hers as she urged him on. His hips rose and fell, plunging him deep within her with every movement. Ferro was so close he could feel her breath wash over him as she gasped with pleasure, her pupils dilating with desire as he stroked in and out.

“Can you do something for me?” she asked, her eyes still focused intently on him, watching his every reaction.

“Of course,” he promised.

“I want you to cum for me,” she told him with firm determination, a spark lit fiercely in her stare. “Now,” she said when he didn’t refuse.

“Are you sure?” He knew she was, but he just wanted to hear her say it again. It was perhaps the most arousing thing a woman could ever say to a man, and Ferro would never get tired of hearing the words come from her mouth.

“Cum for me Ferro. Please!” she all but begged.

It was more than he could handle. It started deep within him, as bit by bit the muscles in his cock tightened, swelling even more with blood. His sac tightened and his growl built, rising to a near roar as he continued to thrust into Ana, the warmth of her walls urging him onward.

The dam finally broke, and his cock began to pulse wildly as he did as Ana asked, cumming deep within her and shooting jets of his hot cum as his brain fried itself with endorphin overload.

He didn’t stop moving until his muscles unclenched and he had control over his body again, at which point he draped himself over her prone form, allowing himself to fall into her embrace as she held him tight to her.

Sleep claimed him quickly, and for the first time in a long time, it was filled with pleasant thoughts.
