Dragon's Lust (3 page)

"I've already answered that, wee one. I'm lonely ... and I have needs."

"What's your name? I can't keep calling you Dragon."

"You would not be able to pronounce my dragon name.

You may call me Ranehz."

"I am Kiana."

Kiana started towards the passageway but stopped dead in her tracks when she heard a soft whinnying. She ran out of the cave and found her horse tied to a stake near the entrance. Throwing her arms around his neck, she nuzzled her face against his warmth, happy to discover he had not been her breakfast after all. "I hope he's fed you proper," she murmured before letting go and returning to the cave. The dragon's voice echoed in her ears as she crossed the room where he lay.

"There are grooming instruments just inside the doorway.

If there's anything else you need, let me know. The animal needs to be taken proper care of so he'll be available for traveling into the village."

"You said that before. About having visited the village. I don't understand. How does that fit with you burning the 23

crops and farms? I can see stealing a few cattle for food, but wanton destruction?"

Ranehz shook his head. If she thought it possible, Kiana would have called his expression one of sadness and resignation. It puzzled her. As did something else, a quandary she voiced.

"Why would a horse be needed when you can fly?"

"You'll learn soon enough."

Kiana awoke next morning to an insistent throbbing in her pussy. "Oh no," she muttered as tendrils of lust coiled in her belly. "Ranehz!" She scrambled from the soft bearskin and had just gained her footing when a handsome man entered the chamber. Obsidian locks flowed in waves past broad shoulders as he strode towards her. She stepped backwards, but could only go a few steps before her progress was halted by the rough hewn stone wall. "Who are you and what do you want?" she stammered, all too aware of her unclothed state.

"Relax, Kiana." The voice was familiar but did not match the face. "It's me, just ... different."

"Me?" Though she swore she heard the voice of the dragon coming from the striking man, she knew it couldn't be so. She whimpered as the fire in her pussy blazed, and juices began to leak down her trembling thighs.

He stood before her and reached out to trace the path of her jaw down her pale face. "Ranehz, wee one. Look into my eyes."

The same shining silver stared back at her from the man's face as did from the dragon's.

"But ... how?"

"Later," he responded. He pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips upon hers. She moaned as he brought one arm around and slid his fingers between her thighs to brush against her swollen sex. "I can smell your arousal," he murmured as he pushed a finger inside her hot pussy. "I love your scent." He lowered her to the soft furry skin and let his weight settle upon her body.

"Please," she whispered as the burning heat threatened to invade her sanity.

"Soon," he replied as he kissed a trail down her delicate collarbone, into the valley of her ample bosom.

She moaned and arched her back as his tongue swirled around the aching peak of her breast. Fire flowed in her veins as he stroked the hard button nestled between her pussy lips.

"Please, Ranehz, I fear I'll go mad," she pleaded as the inferno blazing within threatened to consume her mind.

"Too long. I waited too long," he muttered as he pushed down his trousers and pulled his hard shaft free. As a man, his cock was still quite large but not monstrously so.

"Yes," she hissed when she felt the plump head of his dick press into her opening. She groaned as it thrust inside, her slick walls grasping the fat crown, clenching around it as her pussy stretched around his thickness. Kiana threw her arms around him, clutching at his clothing as she lifted her hips, desperately trying to urge him forward as she sought relief from the burning.

She cried out at the pain stabbing through her as his cock thrust deep into her pussy, tearing her maidenhead. The searing heat flowing through her pussy quickly quelled the discomfort, and she rocked with his thrusts, yearning for the relief his seed would bring. Whimpered pleas rolled from her mouth as she urged him on, begging him to soothe the throbbing.

Spasms ripped through her as the thrusting of his cock sent her crashing over the edge. She stiffened and screamed as the tremors of intense pleasure quaked through her. A low growl sounded in her ear and coolness flooded the heated walls of her pussy as Ranehz erupted inside her.

Kiana lay beneath his strapping body, her breathing ragged as her body recovered. Relief flowed through her as the unbearable heat subsided and her muscles relaxed. His fingers smoothed her hair back over her brow, and he planted a gentle kiss upon her lips. "Next time," he said, "I will not wait as long and you will learn the pleasure your body can feel."

He rose and helped her to stand. "Go wash. You will find a proper dress waiting for you in the bathing chamber. Put it on, and I will explain everything as we journey to town."

"Is the ability to transform yourself into a man another mystical property of being a dragon?" Kiana inquired as her horse Bartholomew carried her down the path while Ranehz walked alongside.

"No. I'm half dragon, half human, so I can transform at will."

"Then why not remain in human form and live in the village among other humans? You could have a normal life with a wife and children."

"If I stay in human form too long, I become restless and agitated and cannot control my temper. I need to fly and stretch my dragon half, lest I go mad. Besides I don't think I would have much success finding a woman who would willingly live her life with me."

"What about your mother? Didn't she live her life with a dragon willingly?"

A contemptuous laugh burst from his mouth as he brought the horse to a stop and turned to glare at Kiana. "My
mother
left me to die as soon as she realized I was not a normal child."

"But didn't she know you wouldn't be normal?"

"She thought I belonged to her husband. Her simple mind couldn't comprehend the possibility our two species could procreate."

"How did she come to mate with a dragon?"

The gentle swaying of Bartholomew's gait resumed as Ranehz continued down the path. "It was part of a deal made with her village. In return for Mahor's pledge to leave the village untouched, they would send a woman to him every season. The woman was required to stay with him for the entire season, until the next one arrived. Every woman of child-bearing age had to take a turn and then repeat if necessary. None of the women ever spoke of what happened 27

while in the dragon's charge. As far as I know, I was the only child spawned from the matings, but if the other women did as my mother, then there are likely more half-breeds such as myself."

Kiana stayed silent for a time, her mind going over what Ranehz had shared with her. She wanted to know more, but it was obvious by the hard set of his jaw he did not enjoy speaking of the past. Surprise flooded her when he began to speak without further prodding.

"I was five before my mother could no longer deny my paternity. Oh, she knew long before that. Silver eyes aren't common among humans."

Kiana couldn't help but think of her own eyes, which were light enough to seem silver as well, if seen in the right light.

"She treated me no better than the animals scattered around the farm. She resented the extra mouth to feed, perhaps, and decided to make sure she got the value back in work. Certainly, she never looked at me with love. But perhaps her suspicions made her cautious, for though she was callous she was rarely cruel. On that day, she said something that made me quite angry. I looked up at her, not hiding the emotion. She started screaming about a devil child and then took off towards the field where the man I knew as my father was plowing. I moved and realized something was different. My anger had triggered my first transformation.

They cast me out." Despite the years that had passed since his childhood, grief still hung heavily about Ranehz. His broad shoulders slumped, and his head hung low, his chin close to his muscular chest.

"Had I not looked exactly like my dragon father, I would have perished almost immediately. Instead, he saw me flying low on one of his afternoon flights and took me in."

"I'm sorry," Kiana whispered. "Being treated as property is wrong. No child should ever endure such treatment, especially from his mother."

"How can you be sure you wouldn't have done the same?"

he spat.

"I just know."

"You may have to prove that some day."

"So be it."

They rode in silence, stopping only for a midday meal and then returning to the path. When the sun cast a pink glow upon the sky as it lowered on the horizon, Kiana spoke again.

"If you could find a willing woman, would you try for a normal life? I know it would mean living on the fringes of a village, but you could find a remote space where you'd be free to change and fly as needed."

"I try not to think of such things," he responded, his voice low with sadness. "It's a fool's dream."

The conversation had shown Kiana a side of the man-beast she had not expected. Her heart cried for the little boy who had grown up without a mother's love. As her thoughts dwelled upon what he must have endured, the growing heat in her pussy began to intrude upon her mind. She had become accustomed to the warmth and only noticed it when her pussy began to throb with hungry need.

"Ranehz," she spoke, the strain of desire evident in her voice.

"I know. I can smell the musk of your sex."

It was odd to Kiana how she'd come to depend upon him.

Necessity had brought her resignation to quick fruition. In order not to go mad with lust, she needed him. It was as simple as that.

* * * *

Ranehz led Bartholomew into the forest, stopping where the trees opened into a natural clearing by a small pool of rippling water. He helped Kiana from the horse and grabbed the pack from its back. Untying it, he pulled out a soft animal hide and spread it upon the ground. Taking Kiana by the shoulders, he pushed her gently onto the hide. He lay beside her, the intoxicating smell of her arousal causing his cock to strain against his trousers.

He'd been alone for what seemed like eons. Despite the way Mahor raised him, he was never able to take a maiden, use her for his pleasure, then discard her. A small pang of sadness clutched his heart as he gazed upon Kiana's beauty.

Her full breasts jiggled enticingly as her chest rose and fell with the motion of her ragged breathing. A slight pink flush crept across her face and down her neck as the effects of his branding heated her body.

He had regretted his actions the moment the branding had been completed, but his lust and loneliness had fueled the brash decision. There was nothing he could do about it now except make sure she got the relief she needed until the branding wore off. It would wear off, unless he used his 30

dragon tongue inside her again. Ranehz hadn't decided if he would do so when the time came.

Lying there, her skin flushed with arousal, Kiana reminded him of someone he'd once loved. The reason he'd been alone for so long. He mentally shook himself and his face hardened.

No woman would have a chance to do what Arabella had done, no matter how beautiful she might be. Pushing aside gentle thoughts, he grabbed Kiana's shift and shoved it over her shoulders, freeing her plump breasts to his gaze.

He brought his mouth down and captured a nipple, which hardened under his tongue's assault. Kiana stiffened and let out a strangled moan as she arched her back, pushing more of her pink bud between his lips. The smell emanating from her pussy enveloped Ranehz, and his actions spoke of how wild it drove him.

Sliding down her body, he jerked the dress over her hips, revealing her swollen sex to his silver stare. He pushed her trembling thighs apart and dove into her pussy, licking along her puffy lips before spreading them with his fingers. Red and glistening, her sex beckoned to him, inviting him to feast upon the savory juices. He buried his face in her pussy, his tongue laving up and down the pink petals and licking up her sweet nectar.

As she bucked beneath him, he attacked her clit, slathering it wildly. Juices gushed from her pussy as she moaned loudly and her body shook in pleasure. Unable to wait any longer, Ranehz pushed the rough fabric of his trousers down over his throbbing cock and slid back up Kiana's body. Once on top of her, he sucked a hard nipple 31

between his lips and at the same moment, drove his dick deep into her hot pussy.

They moaned together as he filled her wet passage, her pink walls clenching around his shaft as his tongue flicked across her nipple's peak. With each lick of his tongue, her pussy reacted, twitching around his cock as he slammed into her. The heady scent of her desire clung to his nostrils as he pounded into her pussy. Each time he claimed her, he swore to make it last and give her the experience of extreme pleasure, but each time, the smell of her excitement loosened the reins of his self-control.

In the back recesses of his mind, he realized that he would never be able to contain himself as long as she was under his spell. A red haze settled over his mind as he plunged into her depths. The feeling of her wet and heated pussy on the length of his cock sent spirals of pleasure through his body. He released her breast from between his lips and buried his face in the slender crook of her neck, inhaling her womanly scent.
