For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.  It wasn’t that she was disgusted with him or anything, but it was more along the lines of wonder and shock.

“Are you scared of me?” he asked.

“Nope.  Just curious if you want the truth of it,” she told him.

He turned to her, his hand extended and the scales present in his hand.

“If you want, you can feel it,” he told her.

She looked at the hand, wondering what this would mean.  What if they did get in a relationship with one another?  Would he want any weird dragon sex?

“Do you ever…do it with girls in this form?” she asked.

“Nope.  I only use my human form for intercourse.  But this is a part of me as well.  However, I make sure that it never shows up when I’m around others who don’t understand,” he told her.

She looked at him, eying him up and down.

“I understand.  I get that,” she said to him.

“Thank you.  But you’re not afraid of me.  That’s surprising,” he told her.

Why should she be afraid?  Sure, he was a big, scary dragon to some people, but for Scarlet, this seemed almost like a dream come true.  She felt secure around him in a strange way. She read manga with weirder premises than the stuff in front of her.

“I’m totally fine, Cody.  I’ve read manga with stranger elements to it.  Sure, this is the real world, but I am not scared of you.  You were amazing at dinner tonight.  So why should I toss that to the side just because I know about this?” she said.

Cody changed back, his human form in shock at the words that were uttered.

“I’m so surprised.  Every single woman who knew about this got scared.  I had to take away their memories ofthe past.  I only had one other person know about this in the past, but they didn’t do anything and instead just ended their friendship with me.  I’ve been terrified of showing anyone this, and I didn’t know if I could with you.  I mean, your reaction is the best I’ve seen thus far, so it makes me feel comfortable about myself,” he told her.

“You should be.  I mean, you are something amazing in my eyes, and this dragon part is just another part of you.  It’s kind of like you having brown hair.  I mean, sure you could change it but it’s a part of you.  I’m not scared.  Not at all,” she told him.

The feeling of happiness lurched over him and suddenly, he pulled her close, hugging her softly.  He looked into her eyes, staring directly at her with a smile on his face.

“Thank you Scarlet.  I don’t know what else to say.  I mean, this is the first time I’ve felt this way about someone, so I was nervous about the outcome,” he said.

“Don’t be afraid, Cody.  Everyone has their secrets, and the fact that you were so willing to show me that right now is something astounding.  I mean, I won’t tell anyone about it.  I promise,” she said.

“Thank you.  I needed that,” he told her.

They stared into each other’s eyes, and for a moment, Scarlet thought that this would be the perfect moment to kiss him. She didn’t want to take it further than that, because she didn’t feel like it was right to have sex on the first date. But suddenly, she felt her body move closer to his, and that’s when she pressed her lips to his own, sealing them with a kiss.

Some might think that this kiss was the typewhere rainbows and butterflies would shoot out of it, but in truth, it just felt normal to both of them.  When they kissed, it didn’t feel like they were pushing it with one another.  Instead, it felt nice and natural, and for Scarlet, this was exactly what she needed.  She had been in too many relationships in the past where things would go sour because of secrets, but in truth, as she pressed her lips to his own, her lips colliding and touching his own, she felt like she was in a new heaven she had never indulged in before.

For a moment, it felt like time had stopped, at least in their eyes.  He pulled back, blushing madly at her and trying to speak, although it came out as a stutter.

“Sorry.  I didn’t mean to be so forward.  It’s just…it felt natural.  You’re the first girl I’ve opened up to, and I feel welcomed,” he told her.

“Don’t apologize.  I feel the same way,” she replied.

They kissed one again, this time for a bit longer and a bit more passionate than they expected.  After he pulled away though, he grasped her hand, heading towards the car.

“So, I know this is weird and stuff, but I want to ask you personally.  Will you be my girlfriend?” he asked her.

“Of course.  Why would I say no? We can take it slow and everything.” she said.

For him, that was the perfect response.  His eyes lit up, his face hanging in a happy grin, one that said it all.

“Thank you Scarlet.  Thank you for everything,” he told her.

They went back to the car, and for the rest of the night they held hands, both of them feeling sure and amazing.  But what they didn’t know, was that in the corner of the forest was someone that Cody knew, someone who wasn’t afraid to expose Cody for who he really was. 

*****

The next couple of months were crazy, with Cody and Scarlet going out on dates together, seeing movies, hanging out by the park, and just enjoying the way the other person felt.  Cody hadn’t felt this happy ever, and for him, this seemed like the right thing to do.  But he could tell that something was wrong, something he couldn’t put his finger on, and he knew that there was something amiss with everything that was happening.

In the locker room one day, Cody was putting on a black polo and some khakis to wear for when he would see Scarlet tonight, and his teammate Tony looked at him with a glance.

“Wow, I haven’t seen you dress that fancy in a while.  Normally you’re always in sweats after practice,” he mused.

“Well, I’m going to meet my girlfriend tonight.  I’m excited to see her again, since it’s something that makes me feel happy.  I feel like when I play the games, I’m thinking about her now than just some random chick in the background,” he told him.

“That’s cool.  I’m happy for you bro.  Just don’t let it get in the way of the championship this Friday.  I mean, I don’t want to have to take over for you when the going gets too tough,” he joked.

“Nah.  I’ve got my head in the game.  Scarlet should be coming to the game as well, and I think it’ll be great for her to see it.  She’s a school reporter and she’s going to school for journalism, and I’m excited to see what sort of piece she’ll put together,” he told Tony.

“That’s cool man.  I’m happy to see that you’re doing better.  Even the coach noticed the difference.  You seem lighter, like a burden has been pushed off of you.  I’m happy to see that everything is going well for you,” his friend said.

“Yeah.  I’m just excited for tonight.  Apparently she wants to take me to this interesting Indian place, and I’ve never had it before,” he told his friend with an animated expression.  For Cody, this was so right to him.  Getting excited for dates, feeling like the king of the world, all of that just felt so real to him, and he didn’t feel like he had to prove himself to show the happiness he was feeling.

Unfortunately, things were about to get worse for him though, for as soon as he walked out of the locker room, he noticed someone sitting on the bench across the way.  Normally, Cody didn’t pay attention to random people who at around here, but when he looked at the person, he could tell that something was up.

“Kenneth,” he said to the person in front of him.

“Hello there Cody.  It’s been a while hasn’t it?” the man said.

“It has.  You coming to spy on our team before the championship game?  Afraid you’ll lose if you do otherwise?” he asked the man.

“Actually, I came here to personally see you.  See, you and me have a little bit of business to talk about regarding the recent game that’s happening this Friday.  I would like to make a proposal with you, and I hope that you’re fine with it.  I mean, if you don’t listen to my demands, I think it’ll spell problems for both you, and that girl that you’re seeing,” he said.

For a second, Cody felt like punching the man in the face.  What the hell did this have to do with Scarlet?  This made him ferociously angry, and suddenly he turned to the man, glaring at him with annoyance.

“What do you mean?” he asked the other guy.

“Isn’t it simple?  I have a proposal for you, and if you don’t take my offer, I’ll ruin both you and her.  You gave me some interesting information the other night, and I’m putting it to VERY good use,” the man said with a sneer.

Cody looked around, and then he motioned for the small office nearby.

“Tell me in there,” he said.

The other man smiled, and Cody followed him like a helpless animal.  What was Kenneth doing?  What the hell was this?

Kenneth and Cody had been rivals since their middle school days.  It turned from a friendly rivalry to where they would spit scorn at one another, and it would be a fight that was not only bitter, but permeating as well.  Kenneth joined the rival team, and both of them made it into the NBA.  Kenneth told everyone that he refused to be on the same team as Cody, and judging from the look on his face, he had some sort of messed up plan up his sleeve.

He sat down across from Cody, grinning like a madman.

“What the hell do you want?” he asked.

“Simple.  I want you to throw the game.  I want you to not show up on Friday, and I want your team to lose,” he said.

“And you think I’ll just agree to your shady demands, right?” he asked him.

“Well no.  I wouldn’t believe that.  What I do have, however, is some blackmail,” the man said with a smile.

He pulled out a piece of paper, a photograph of sorts, and the image casted on it made Cody blanch.

“No fucking way,” he said.

“Oh yes way.  I have a photo of you changing into a dragon.  If you want this to go public, to ruin your image forever and ever, then by all means, come to the game.  If you don’t show up though, this won’t go public and I’ll destroy it,” he said.

Cody couldn’t believe this.  “You bastard,” he said.

“Well, I know that Cody, but the answer should be obvious.  I’m sure I won’t be seeing you at the game this Friday,” he told him.

Kenneth got up, marching out the door and leaving Cody a flustered, unsure mess.  What should he do?  What was there to do in this sort of situation?  The only thing he could think of was to wait and see.

He made his way out the door to where Scarlet was, unsure of what to say to her, or even what to do about the worry that was present within his feelings. 

*****

For Scarlet, seeing Cody late was the first bad sign.  She motioned for him to sit down, and he looked at her, trying his best to avoid contact.

“You know, avoiding eye contact isn’t something a boyfriend does,” she mused.

“Sorry about that.  I just…I’m worried about something,” he said.

This was the first time that Scarlet ever saw him worried.  She then looked at him, wondering what was going on.

“What is it?” she asked.

“I’m worried about something that happened.  I just don’t know what to think,” he said.

This wasn’t getting anywhere.  She ordered them food, but she took it to go.

“I thought we were eating here tonight,” he said.

“I changed my mind.  Let’s head on home,” she told him.

They took the Indian food home, and when they got to her place they sat on the couch, eating the contents with very little being said.  She looked at Cody, seeing the downcast eyes that immediately screamed something was up.  She turned to him, and once they were both finished, she started to ask.

“Okay, what the fuck happened?” she asked him.

He glanced at her, wondering what he should do.

“Well, one of the rival team members came to the area where we practice today, and let’s just say that it wasn’t pretty,” he told her.

“What did the fucker do?” she asked him.

“He threatened me,” Cody said with a small choked sob.

She moved closer, glancing at him with a worried look.  Scarlet didn’t know how much this affected him, and it made her feel worried.

“What did he say?  With the way you look, it’s got to be something that majorly shook you up,” she mused.

“He told me…that he would expose all of me to the world, ruin my career, and ruin yours as well if I was at the game this Friday,” he said.

That’s when it all came crashing down. She looked at him with wide eyes, the shock setting in.

“Holy shit,” she told him.

“Yeah.  I’m worried about it myself, because he might do it anyway, but even I don’t know where he kept the picture after that.  I’m just worried, because I don’t want to lose the game, but I feel like I have to,” he told her.

“You don’t!  You don’t have to do a thing.  I can help you,” she said to him with vigor.  She wasn’t going to let him throw away his only chance.

“And why not?  Why do you care so much?” he asked.

“Because…because I love you,” she said to him.

He looked at her, the shock of the moment setting in, and that’s when she spoke.

“Yeah.  I’ve been in love with you for a long time, Cody.  To be honest, I was worried about something like this, and I knew that if I didn’t realize the feelings that I had when we first kissed, I probably would’ve dismissed them.  But here I am now, realizing the truth of everything that is going on, and in truth, it’s a bit shocking,” she told him.

“I imagine.  And it’s weird, because I feel the same way,” he said.

“Yeah.  I mean, I could’ve told everyone about you from the moment I learned of it, but I love you too much to do that.  I mean I could potentially help you with this if you want me to.  I can go look for the camera over the next couple of days and destroy the file.  I can help you win the game and everything still.  It’s just…I’m worried about how you feel.  I didn’t want to hold it back anymore, and I hope you’re not weirded out by a girl like me saying those words,” she told him.

“Yeah.  I definitely feel this way,” he told her.

The two of them looked at one another, and for a moment, it felt as if time had stopped once again.

“I will help you with this.  I will protect your secret.  Just please, don’t give up now.  When I saw you walk in looking that way, I felt awful.  I felt like I couldn’t do anything to help you at this point.  But now, I see what it is.  I see that I can help you, and I do want to.  I feel like I’m meant to help you.  Even though the world might not be on our side, I’ll be there to assist you.  Maybe it’s because I know the truth, I know for a fact that you deserve just as much as everyone else the closure of your secrets.  Blackmailing you like that is so wrong and fucked up and it bothers me to no end,” she said.

“Same here.  But thank you Scarlet.   Really do appreciate it.  And I do love you.  You’ve changed me for the better, you’ve made me realize that life doesn’t have to be bland and boring.  I’ve also learned from you that sometimes there are people who understand your secrets, even though you might not understand why they’re so accepting.  It’s strange, but with you, I feel that closure that I need, and I feel like I can show you my true form,” he told her.

She nodded in excitement, feeling happy about the truth of the situation. She then moved closer, letting her lips lightly graze over the tip of his own.  This time though, it didn’t feel like some little chaste thing.  In truth, she wanted to make Cody happy.  She hadn’t felt this strongly over a guy before, and in truth she never thought that she would feel this way.  But, as she looked over the other man and let her lips graze over his own, the feeling of love and happiness that was coursing over her was only making everything better.  They would make it, and they would make everything better, and as soon as they started to kiss again, she felt the happiness within her start to rush over, and she knew for a fact that she could protect this man.

The kiss wasn’t as chaste as the last time, not that they expected it to be.  Scarlet felt the need for this man, the raw, passionate need that was unlike anything she had felt in the past.  She started to kiss him deeper, letting her mouth roll over his own, and suddenly, she felt something that she hadn’t in the past.  His tongue started to snake out, lingering over her own mouth.  She let him in, and suddenly, she felt the mixture of their two muscles as they grazed and touched over one another.  It was magical, almost like a miracle, and for her, she wanted nothing more than to stay like this forever.

Cody’s tongue then started to explore her mouth, moving in small circles and touches against her own and making her feel something stronger than ever before.  She then started to move her tongue up against his own, and when she did that, the two of them moaned against one another.  They could taste the Indian curry they had earlier, but for Scarlet, it didn’t really matter.  It felt so right, so real, and the pleasure was all hers.

The she was grasped by him, his strong arms lifting her into them.  He carried her out of the living room, and when he got to the hallway, she motioned to the left where the bedroom was.  When he got there, he laid her down like a princess and started to make out with her once again, letting his tongue collide over her own and his body hovering over hers.  She could feel his cock growing hard against her body, and the sensation felt so different from what she was used to, but at the same time she enjoyed it.

He continued to kiss her with no stopping, and suddenly, he started to pull away.  She immediately communicated to him with her eyes that she was a virgin, and he seemed to implicitly understand that, moving his lips downward and lightly moving them against the tip of her neck.  He rolled his tongue over the soft flesh, his teeth grazing over her muscles there and lightly sucking on the soft spot that she loved immediately. She bucked her hips, grazing over his hardness suddenly. She blushed, realizing what she was doing, but at the same time not stopping.  It felt so good, so right, and as he continued to do this, she felt like she was in a sort of heaven that even she wasn’t used to.

Suddenly, when he got to her collarbone, he pushed her shirt off against the area for but a moment, placinga small kiss and nibble there.  It was the first mark he had ever given her, and for Scarlet, it both hurt but also felt so good.  She loved this, her body wanting more of this man and her pussy craving more of his touch.  He continued this while he skillfully moved his hands over her blouse, undoing the buttons and pulling them off.  He also did away with the polo he was wearing, exposing his muscular, taut chest for her to see.

He looked even more gorgeous in person, and for a moment, she felt like she was almost unworthy of all of this.  For them this was so perfect, so right, and as he started to move his lips down her body, right over her soft breasts, she wondered how in the world it all ended up like this.  How did she get to have this man?  How in the world did she even get to have these feelings period?  It felt so good, so right, and in truth, she wanted nothing more than this.

That’s when his hands grazed right over the back of her bra, moving towards the clasp and undoing it while he peppered her chest with soft, tangible kisses that felt like a sort of awakening to her.  He then pulled back, slipping the garment off her body, and that’s when she looked up at him, with wonder and shock present in her eyes.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked.

“Yes.  I do,” she said, the sureness apparent in her eyes.

Sure, she was a virgin, but what she didn’t know was that Cody actually never gotten that far with a woman either.  He said that he had done things with girls before, but it was mostly heavy petting and fingering.  He had never put himself into another woman, because he didn’t want to get attached to them, only to have them hurt him later on.  It sounded like a dumb reason to many people, but to Cody, it seemed right.  But tonight, he was happy that he brought a condom, and Scarlet was happy that she got on the pill recently, because it would make this moment not only safer, but a lot more meaningful to both of them as well.

What he didn’t know, was that Scarlet had never shown herself like this.  When he took her bra off, her hands jumped up to her breasts, covering them softly.  He then clicked his tongue, looking at her with a smile.

“You don’t have to hide yourself, you know.  I mean, I want to see you like this.  You don’t have to feel weird around me,” he told her with a grin.

She then nodded, feeling sure of herself and happy with the way everything was going.  She then moved her arms a tiny bit, exposing her orbs for him to see.  They were decently-sized perfect for her body, and soon, his lips moved against the tip of her nipple, lightly flicking his tongue over it.  She let out a moan, bucking her hips in wanton need and pleasure as he did this.  He continued to lap at the bud like a cat, and for her, she felt like she was in a sort of heaven that only he was able to provide for her.

He then started to let his lips sink against the edge of the other nipple, sucking on the flesh there.  She moaned bucking her hips in wanton need and excitement, her body aching for more from him.  He then started to suck on it a bit more, his body loving the way that she reacted to the light touch.  She was moaning, the delicious sounds better than anything he expected to hear from her.

His other hand moved to the other erect bud, seeing that it was hard with need and pleasure.  His hands then started to work that one, and for Scarlet, she could already feel the pleasure overcoming her body, making her feel something that even she wasn’t used to.  He continued this for a bit, letting himself tease and caress over the soft flesh for but a little bit before he pulled away, kissing down her body to the edge of her jeans.

He slipped his hands to the button on the waistband, looking at her with a longing glance.  She then nodded, realizing how she was sealing her fate with him, and suddenly, he started to move his hands to the button, popping it and pulling the zipper off of her pants, exposing her small pair of black panties.  He ran his finger over the front of them, lightly teasing her clit for but a moment.  The result was obvious as she let out a series of garbled moans and praising sounds of need.

He then pulled his hand away, reaching towards the sides of the panties and slipping them off of her.  Soon, her naked pussy was exposed for him to see, and for a moment, she wondered what was going to happen next.

Her pussy was nicely trimmed, and he could see the small glistening need that was pent within her area.  He then started to let his fingers graze over the edge of her clit, rubbing against the sensitive bundle of nerves.  She cried out, feeling her body tense up and her pussy throb with need as he continued to do this, and then suddenly, he pulled back, lightly licking his finger for but a moment and then turning to her with a glance.

She nodded, tacitly agreeing to what was going to come next.  She shivered with anticipation as he started to pull his pants off, exposing his hard cock for her to see.  It was throbbing with need, his body aching for her, and for Scarlet, she felt nervous for the first time ever. 

“I’ll be gentle.  It’s my first time too,” he told her.

She couldn’t believe it, but then he started to spread her legs apart.  He looked at her with a smile on his face, sliding the tip of his sheathed cock into her and looking at her to see any signs of pain.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t as bad as she thought it was going to be.  He pushed himself into her, and then suddenly, he stayed like that for but a moment, getting used to the feeling that he got.  Then, he started to rock his hips back and forth, and she let out a small whimper as he broke her virginity.

He started to move in and out of her at a slow, even pace, and then suddenly, he started to take it a little bit faster.  She then started to groan, feeling her body tense up as he continued to move himself in and out of her with want and need.  She definitely started to feel like she was getting close, and for Cody, he was close as well.  It was his first time, so he wasn’t expecting to last forever or anything.
