A Dragons Desire (closed for DarkWarrioress)

[DarkWarrioress]

She took the pillows and blankets and followed him down below and watched as he settled into a pile of gold. For just a moment she simply watched him as he closed his eyes and grinned at his wink before she scrambled to make a bed for herself into the spot he had made for her. Willow couldn’t say that sleeping on a pile of gold was comfortable, but she wiggled into it and into him until she could hear his heartbeat and felt the warmth of his body infiltrate her. With a soft sigh she snuggled in, pulling the blankets up around her.

Sleep came quickly enough. Willow was exhausted. It had been a long day and had been filled with more information and things she had never encountered before. She remembered when she had first learned about the dragons and what they meant to the world. She had never thought of them as a threat. They were stuff mystic fantasies were made of. She had always been drawn to them, but she had never thought she would find herself mated to one. Unconsciously, she turned her body into his and this time, deep sleep claimed her. No more thoughts. Just sleep.

 

[Finadien]

His sleep was filled with pictures of burning buildings, screaming people and a black shadow that engulfed everything. Was that a premonition? Did he see things that would happen if he didn’t intervene? Or was this just his anxiety that prompted those dreams?

He awoke early and made sure not to wake Willow. She still was resting in the bed she had made for herself with a huge amount of pillows and blankets she was safe for the moment. She needed the sleep, and he was hungry. Unfortunately human food wasn’t quite enough for him and so he needed to hunt.

He took a few steps, loosened his shoulders and then took a few more faster steps towards the cave exit, spread his wings, flapped one, twice and then remembered that he couldn’t fry without her on his back. He frantically tried to stop and skidded to a halt near the rather deep drop into the tundra. He turned around, hoping she hadn’t seen him but since her bed was at the other side of the huge gold pile that was rather unlikely.

Dragons could fly only by magic. Their form was not built for natural flight, they just were too heavy. He could perhaps glide but even that was rather awkward and even if he didn’t hurt himself falling all the way down he would have to find a way back up and the elevator didn’t reach that far down.

He turned around and walked back to her and watched her sleep. She WAS beautiful and he was happy that nature had chosen her. He lowered himself in front of her, crossed his ‘arms’ and rested his head on them. He would wait for her to awaken and then hopefully she would be ready for a little excursion, he WAS hungry.

His stomach growled.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

A slight disturbance to her sleep caused her to stir slightly but only long enough to snuggle down into her warm, cozy nest, pulling the blankets over her head. Then she heard a noise. It made her frown. Ever so slowly, she merged from her slumber and peeked over the edge of her blankets and found herself looking right into his warm, blue eyes. Willow found herself fascinated and couldn’t look away. They simply stared at each other for awhile. She wasn’t sure how long he had been awake and watching her sleep. She tugged the blankets down from her face and yawned.

“Good Morning, Dracunos. How long have you been awake?” she asked softly as she continued to study him.

He really was a gorgeous dragon and his human form wasn’t bad either. However, he was making her feel self-conscious. How long had he been watching her sleep? She hastily sat up, bringing the covers with her. The gold beneath her shifted with her movements and she had a strange thought. If they slept together, would they be sleeping in the bed upstairs or would he…. She found her cheeks getting warm as she glanced down at the pile of gold she had sleeping in.

 

[Finadien]

He had been a bit in thought and a bit in awe about how beautiful this human was so that he realized that she had awakened but didn’t react right away. He simply stared at her and enjoyed the view.

When she spoke he realized that what he had been doing could been seen as rude and so he grinned sheepishly.

“Not long,” he answered, “I was feeling hungry and I do need to eat. Unfortunately human feed may be tasty and fine for most occasions but I do need something more and so I need to hunt.”

He shrugged and continued.

“I can only hunt with you on my back and I’m afraid that this could be a bit uncomfortable for you but it cannot be helped. I promise you I will make up for it after I have eaten.”

He turned around a bit and again offered her the front leg and his shoulder to climb on.

“If you would be so kind? By now there should be a spot between my shoulders where you are a bit better protected from the elements.”

 

[DarkWarrioress]

She could only imagine what he meant b y “uncomfortable” for her. The thought didn’t seem to bother her much. She had never thought of herself as squeamish, but then, she had never watched a dragon eat before either.

“Let me get dressed and we can go. I can’t exactly go out dressed in my nightgown.”

Willow scrambled up from her cozy little nest and hastily made her way back upstairs. She didn’t even bother to take her blankets and pillows with her. As she ascended in the elevator she thought about how nice it was to sleep against someone. As the doors opened and she stepped into the upper floor, Willow made a beeline for the bedroom, took a quick shower and got dressed. It wasn’t long before she was on her way back down to Dracunos.”

“I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long. I took a quick shower,” she explained as she got up on the dragon’s back and settled in between his shoulders.

 

[Finadien]

He waited patiently while she was gone and tried to ignore the rumbling of his stomach. He could go a few more days without food but it would impact his ability to reason and that was something he couldn’t have right now when things were getting strange in Europe. When she returned and explained that she took a shower he couldn’t suppress a smile.

“Sure, if you think that this is a good idea.”

Then he waited until she had settle into the nook between his shoulders that slowly grew as soon as the bonding began. When he felt that she was secure he again walked to the exit of the cave, spread his wings and a short hop brought them up into the air.

He enjoyed the freedom flying was giving him and the bonding always left a tiny sting in his heart because it took a small part of the freedom away. But right now everything was fine. She should be mostly protected from the cold and the wind but also able to see much of what was going on between his scales. Not that she really needed the protection. She couldn’t freeze to death or something like that but a mate could still get very uncomfortable and things could hurt her as well and he wouldn’t want anything like that to happen to her.

He curved around some mountains until he finally saw what he was looking for. A herd of caribous was grazing on the tundra in the distance. They hadn’t seen him yet and so he had time to judge which animals were best suited for his meal. He selected a pair of old cows that were sufficient for his appetite but whose absence wouldn’t hurt the herd to much.

Another curve in the distance to make sure he had everything right and then he flapped his wings to gain some height, approached the herd, folded his wings in and dove down. The lead animal looked up and gave a low moan as warning but for the first cow it already was to late. Dracunos shot down like a falling icicle opening his wings at the last possible moment and then had to cow in his fangs. His powerful mandibles and sharp teeth made short work of the animal and then he turned around concentrating on the other prey he had selected. It was galloping at an astonishing speed away and even left some younger cows behind it but he didn’t want to hurt the population overmuch and so he beat his wings, picked up speed and had the second part of his meal in his jaw shortly thereafter.

On his way back to the cave he made a short stop at a river to wash the blood from his snout and gulp down a bit water and then they where back.

He landed, waited for her to climb of his back and raised a nonexistent eyebrow in her direction.

“How about a hot shower now?” he asked, pretty sure that she was not really freezing but not feeling that warm either.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

The scenery from her mate’s back was amazing. Though it was still cold this time of year, she barely felt anything. It was only when he swiftly descended that she clutched at his neck and gave a small squeal. Willow watched as a herd of caribou scattered as he came swooped down upon them. She winced as Dracunos’ jaws entrapped one of the older cows. One part of her mind commended him for choosing an animal that little time left on earth. Another part of her mind shied away from the necessity of him eating, reminding her that he was, first and foremost, a dragon. It didn’t take long for him to devour his prey and then they were off, chasing down another one. His bursts of speed had Willow clutching his neck. She tried not to watch him capture the other cow, burying her face in his neck. It wasn’t appalling to her, he needed to feed, she just rather not watch it and being a captive audience, she simply chose to close her eyes until he was finished.

Back at his lair, she slid from his back wondered what they were going to do now.

“How about a hot shower now?”

His question startled her a bit, but it also made her realize that she was feeling a little bit cold from their feeding trip. He had protected her from the majority of the weather but still. She smiled.

“Of course. That sounds marvelous actually.”

Turning, Willow headed for the elevator that would take them back upstairs. It did make her smile to think about how well he looked after her. Maybe this mated thing wasn’t such a bad deal after all.

Willow wasn’t, as yet, sure how she felt about Dracunos’ two forms. She loved his dragon form to be sure. His human form was something she was still getting use to. Both had their attractions. Both, had their downsides, much like all creatures on the earth. Heaven knows she had both herself. For one, she had a temper. It rarely roared to the front but it was there.

“What shall we do for the day, Dracunos? Well, aside from warming me up in a hot shower?”

He had mentioned Washing, DC before. She wondered what that was all about. Hopefully, he would explain more fully at some point and did it have to do with the other dragons?

 

[Finadien]

He changed back into his human form and followed her to the elevator. He could see on her face that she still was trying to cope with all that was happening. The first time feeding after the bonding was always hard on the mate. It not only was the flight on his back but also the fact that his way of eating tended to be messy.

But she seemed to focus on the future which was very helpful.

“I will try to explain what I think we should do next, but I actually would like to have your input as well.”

When they reached the top, he led her straight to the bathroom, stripped off his clothes and threw them in one corner. Then he walked to the shower, set it to a broad and soft rain setting, adjusted the temperature and stepped under the falling water.

He held out his hand, raised an eyebrow and asked:

“Are you coming?”

 

[DarkWarrioress]

“I will try to explain what I think we should do next, but I actually would like to have your input as well.”

“Of course. I would be glad to add my two cents worth. Didn’t you say something about going to Washing DC?”

As they made some idle chit-chat, Willow wasn’t really paying attention to the fact that they had headed into the bathroom. It was Dracunos’ sudden removing his clothes and getting into the shower that brought her up short, made her stop and blink.

“Are you coming?”

“Uh… er….”

Well damn, how did she handle this situation. When he had mentioned taking a shower she didn’t think he meant together. They hadn’t even slept together yet and here he was naked, holding out his hand to her and inviting her into the shower with him. Maybe dragons weren’t self-conscious about this type of thing, but she found out she sure was. Besides, he was a fine looking human as well as being an impressive dragon form.

“Norman… er, Dracunos… oh damn, what should I call you whether you’re in dragon or human form?”

Her question had a bit of spice there at the end. She was flustered. After all, she was staring at him and her heart rate, she swore, had just doubled in speed. Did she want to get in the shower with him? Okay. Okay. Let’s be real here. Did she want to get naked with him? Right now. Willow sucked in a deep breath and slowly let it out. Where had her courage, her daring gone? Had she ever been really daring before?

Was there a better time to get to know each other better? She just had to find her nerve and do this. They had to start somewhere, didn’t they? But get naked? Just like… right now? There was another deep breath and she started to undress. Why not? In for a penny, in for a pound, right? Her night clothing fell to the floor of the bathroom, puddling at her feet as she reached out to take his hand and let him pull her into the shower stall with him. The idea of a hot shower sounded glorious, not to mention being naked and wet with a handsome, well built, dragon.

 

[Finadien]

When he saw her hesitation he raised an eyebrow. What had she expected? That he courted her for 3 month and then asked her father for her hand? He most certainly wouldn’t force himself on her which would most certainly have dire consequence for both of them, but he wouldn’t be shy either. If she wanted to shower alone she could say so.

When she undressed he took in her form appraisingly. She was rather good looking he had to admit. Mother Natur somehow never choose a mate that was not fitting so that really wasn’t a surprise but he realized he found her much more then just adequate.

Then she took his hand and stepped into to stream of water under the nearly open shower stall. He stepped back to give her some room but the shower was big enough so he still was under the hot stream of water that felt great even for him. He smiled at her.

“You can call me anything you like, but Dracunos will fit well when we are alone. If we are in the presence of other humans Norman will be better as long as they don’t know who I really am.”

He took her other hand in his, looked her over once again and put on his most reassuring face.

“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, I will not force you into anything, but I think we both know how this will end and why waste time with pleasantries when we can get right to the pleasurings?”

He looked her deep in the eyes and searched for a reaction there.

“Or should I leave?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Willow frowned.

“No. No, you don’t have to leave. We’re fine.”

She stepped further into the shower, letting the hot water cascade over her, soaking her hair as rivulets ran down her body, curling around her full, high-tipped breasts before meandering down her slim body to end up somewhere between her legs.

She had seen the interest in his eyes and knew inevitably where they would end up as well. She turned her back against the cold tile of the wall and looked up at him.

“I wouldn’t call it pleasantries exactly but more like getting to know each other. All of this happened so fast, don’t you think?”

She was aware of them and the fact they both were naked, standing in the shower. Trying to swallow was complicated considering her mouth was dry. Her eyes wandered down his body and back up to his eyes. She could feel the heat radiating off his body and it had nothing to do with the hot water cascading down over both of them.

“Ummmm, hand me the soap, would you?”

 

[Finadien]

“Yes, everything happened rather fast, but does it really matter?”

“You see, I have lived millennia, I have seen the human race crawl out of the mud and grow into the pinnacle of civilization, I have seen courtships that lasted years and amounted to nothing and trysts of an hour grow into live long commitment.”

He handed her the soap with a raised eyebrow, he really didn’t need to clean up that much, the transformation was doing most of that for him. But perhaps she was more open to him if he started to wash her back? First she had to understand what was happening.

“I think that the whole ‘getting to know each other better’ is about illusion of choice. You think you can choose your partner and for that you have to make sure you fit together. Perhaps that even is the case with humans but this here”, he pointed to her and then to him, “this is different.”

He took a small step towards her, the water cascading down her body made her even more beautiful.

“The choice was made by mother nature and we both cannot escape it. You can run from it, and I had to chase you, but even though you would feel a certain emptiness in your heart.”

Another very small step, only inches separated them now.

“Besides, time is growing scares with Lofwyr acting rather strange in Europe and the faster we confirmed the bonding, the sooner we can look at that problem.”

He raised his hands to gently taker her head in them, bend down and kissed her softly.

“But it is your choice still. I’m not someone to force myself on a mate.”

His hands wandered slowly down her arms, caressing but not holding her.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

He stepped closer and closer to her as he spoke.

“So---so--- how does confirming the bond make it easier to look into the problem of Lofwyr?”

Her heart beat accelerated as he came so close that she felt herself enveloped in the heat from his body. The soap in her hand was all but forgotten as his hands framed her face and he kissed her. Something happened then, she wasn’t sure she could exactly describe it but what she did know was that she felt a pang of loss as he drew back to speak.

“But it is your choice still. I’m not someone to force myself on a mate.”

His touch made her blood sing. Willow didn’t feel scared. She felt like she had known him forever and yet, knew she hadn’t. Not really. She was on the brink of making a life’s choice and as he lifted his head, she reached up, sliding her fingers into the hair at the nape of his neck and gently urged his head back down toward hers until their lips met again and her heart sighed. This. Him. He was her choice.

She lifted her lips from his only slightly.

"I choose you, Dracunos."

 

[Finadien]

His smile grew lopsided as he answered her.

“When the bond is fresh we grow agitated and anxious if we don’t confirm it from time to time. It grows harder to concentrate and to reason.”

He shrugged and continued.

“The more the mate resists the more the dragon is preoccupied with getting the mate to submit. And yes that sounds rather dominating, but I don’t have any other words for it.”

When she said the words that she choose him the smile grew broader.

“Actually, no, we both didn’t have any choice here, but I get what you mean.”

His hand still on her arms moved lower slowly and when he reached her hand he first took the soap and put it back where it belonged. They both were rather hard to hurt, but it still would be awkward if one of them stepped on the soap and lost his balance.

Then he grabbed her hips and pulled her close, bending down and kissing her again, deeper and with more passion this time. She could still resist and he would comply with her wishes if she really wanted to take it slower, even if it meant that Lofwyr had more time to scheme. He had set some moral standards for him a long time ago and somehow they were more important to him than anything else.

A mate was a mate, not a slave or a thing to be used. He would treat her as an equal but the sooner she learned that nothing he was doing was in any way adverse to her the better.

He broke the kiss and gave her a wink.

“Is that so bad?”

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Her blood ran wildly in her veins as his head came closer to her face. She simply knew he was going to kiss her. The water continued to run over them as his lips touched hers. Her fingers tightened in his hair and a small moan of pleasure vibrated between their lips. Heat spread through her like wildfire and pooled between her legs, making her ache terribly.

“Is that so bad?”

He spoke as the kiss broke. All she could do was shake her head. She didn’t trust her voice. Yesterday, she had been having her favorite cinnamon roll, enjoying the park and today, she was standing in the shower, naked, with her dragon mate. Was the world running amok? Her hands loosened, leaving his hair, fingertips, instead roamed lightly over his back. She wanted his lips back on hers and if truthful about the matter, she wanted his body between her legs, assuaging the restlessness inside her and the throbbing of her core. Willow pushed away from the tiled wall and brought her lower body against his. In his human form, he was taller than her, enough so she could fit under his chin comfortably, her eyes could tell.

“Dracunos,” her voice was wispy, as if she was out of breath, “I think we need to get out of the shower…”

 

[Finadien]

He felt her melt into him, finally surrendering to the things that were inevitable. She pressed herself against him so strongly that he could feel her craving. And now his body was reacting to her nude, beautiful body as well. He felt himself harden a little, his cock pressing against her belly.

His hands roamed over her back, caressing her and pulling her as close as possible. Then they went lower to her butt and lifted her up. With one step he pressed her back against the tiles his slowly growing erection now on her thighs.

“Why?” he ask with a smile, and kissed her again, this time more as an equal with their faces at the same height.

He moved around slightly his cock now brushing against her pussy oh so gently and he looked in her eyes to judge her reaction.

“But perhaps you are right.” He then said and shifted his hands. One below her butt, the other around her back he turned around. One elbow switched off the water and then he carried her out of the bathroom.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Why? He asked. Her lips opened to tell him why but stopped herself. Why, indeed. Even though the softness of a bed called to her, the urgency that had been building in her body spoke otherwise.

“But perhaps you are right.”

She clung to him as he secured her to him, managing to turn off the shower with an elbow and walked with her out of the bathroom. Her heart was beating so fast. She had felt his cockhead brush against her pussy and Willow knew she wanted him. She wanted him buried deep inside her and from the size of him, he was going to stretch her open. Burying her face in his shoulder, she clung to him. All of this was happening so fast. It snatched her breath away. Inevitable? Perhaps. Was she going to stop him? She felt his warm skin against hers and knew she wouldn’t. She wanted this. Did she understand it? No. Time would give her the answers. Eventually.

His name was a whisper on her lips as she leaned up to nibble on his earlobe before running the tip of her tongue around the shell of his ear.

 

[Finadien]

The way her body pressed against his, the beating of her heart against his chest, her breathing in his ear and her mouth as well told him that she finally wanted this. There was no holding back now, no reluctance or second thoughs. He felt the heat rise as well but he held back. He wanted this to be something special for her, something she would remember even though they probably had many years together before them.

He carried her to the bed and, knowing how soft it was, he let her fall down on the sheets with a smile. He waited for just a second for her reaction and then took one foot in his hands, placing kisses along the ankle and moving up the leg slowly.

He crawled unto the bed, alternating between both legs, kissing and letting his tongue trail over her smooth skin. Slowly moving higher reaching her thighs. He stopped for a moment and looked up at her. It was still early and the rising sun bathed her face in golden lights which made her even more beautiful and highlighted her wet chestnut hair.

Then he bent down again and bit her thigh. It was a soft and gently bite, his teeth barley touching her still she still should feel it. He went to the other side and did the same there, teasing her, drawing out her craving.

Again he stopped for a moment and then continued. His tongue describing small circles on her skin, moving upwards slowly but steadily. When he finally reached her waiting folds he went around them, licked over her belly once and placed a kiss on it. How much teasing would her body endure?

 

[DarkWarrioress]

When he dropped her on the bed, Willow let out a little squeal until she felt the softness of the bed under her. It was like falling on a cloud. She stretched her body and relaxed. Momentarily. At least, until he got up on the bed with her and started kissing ankles, his tongue and nibbles moving higher up her legs. She moaned in appreciation and felt her core tighten in anticipation.

He was driving her mad and making her restless. When he reached the juncture of her thighs, she held her breath. Willow felt her body tense. Her head lifted off the bed to watch him but when he bypassed her weeping core, her head hit the bed with a small thump. She squirmed as he kissed her belly.

“Dracunos….” She drew out his name in desperation.

Her hands raised over her head, finding purchase in the downy pillow lodged there, her fingers digging deep. Her body squirmed and jerked under his administrations. He was driving her wild and crazy.
