A huge sunken bathing pool lay at the far end. It was large enough for three or four people. The water there was also fed by the hot springs and steam rose from the pool. Drekk undressed both of us with a thought and stepped in. Sitting on a shelf at one side of the pool, he placed me on his lap facing away from him.
"I already washed," I admitted.
"Well I think you're still dirty. Let me clean you up again," he crooned.
Soaping up, he lazily traveled my body. Leaving not an inch unexplored, he reached my nub. He made soft circles around it and pinched it. I came. It was a gentle climax that suited my contemplative mood. I sagged back against Drekk, limp and relaxed.
Drekk’s arm around my waist kept me from falling. He parted my legs and slowly but forcefully pushed a thick, long finger inside my still spasming channel and hooked it in me. I came again, crying out his name.
He pulled out and pushed his finger wet with my juices into my other channel. I had known of men mating with other men this way, but was not aware that women also could receive pleasure there.
Relaxing my body, I waited to see what Drekk would do next. It turned out I was really sensitive there. There was a bit of pain but also an abundance of sensation as Drekk gently thrust in.
"Drekk," I said voice wavering. “What. Is. That?"
"Shh. Little one, I will give you nothing but pleasure. Your job is to take it all. Take the pleasure for me. As much of it as I give you," he said, voice guttural. With a few more thrusting strokes I was again overcome. This time the jolt of pleasure was strong. With a cry I shook and juddered in his lap as the explosion rocked my mind.
Without Drekk’s hold, I would probably be a limp mess in the water at his feet.
Dragon, I had no idea that that part of me was an erogenous zone.
"I will teach you to glory in your own body, little one. Your tempting little body is capable of endless pleasure and it is my privilege to show you how. I will take you to the heights of passion." Drekk crooned to me, his thumb pressing against my back entrance—enough to pop in, then pull out. He was stretching me out there.
"Soon I will take your body here and every part of you will belong to me.”
His arms tightened around me as he spoke.
"Drekk...can't breathe," I choked out.
He loosened his hold on me immediately.
Drekk’s manhood was erect below my backside. Soon he would need attention and I was only too pleased to see to it.
Before that though…
"Drekk, what is the Dragonheart?"
He paused and then asked, "Eavesdropping, Lena?"
"Yes, you won't answer my questions, so I have to resort to sneaky maneuvers to get answers. Now tell me," I ordered.
He chuckled. "Oh little one, do you fear me no more?"
Even if I hadn't sensed the deep protectiveness towards me that the dragon radiated everywhere—even in his mind—I still rather thought that Drekk would hurt himself than let any harm come to me.
"Yes. Lots. I heard tell you are a man-eating beast. Only an idiot wouldn't fear you. But I will have my answers without delay," I said imperiously.
He chuckled again. “Very well then. Perhaps it is time you knew this. As you know dragons are beasts of intense, concentrated magic. However, there are no female dragons. Unlike many others, we do not have mates of the same species.
“We mate with Dragonhearts. Dragonhearts are the female complement to us. They act as a living repository of our magic—which keeps growing throughout our prolonged life. Indeed, their powers mirror their dragon’s and holds the dragon’s true magic essence.
“Eons ago, a sect of people who held magic above everything else regarded the dragons as Gods for the prodigious unmatched magic they contained and started worshipping us. We did not much notice them. The few that did ignored them deeming them harmless.
“The worshippers soon found that dragons were least interested in putting themselves out ruling others or answering random prayers. They felt betrayed and grew bitter. Envious, they vowed to destroy all dragonkin to correct—in their mad eyes—the inequality in the distribution of the magicks—which they felt they should have gotten more of. They became dragon hunters but did not have much success. They then tried to kill our dragonhearts thinking them easier to eliminate than the formidable male dragons.
“Once joined with their dragon though, dragonhearts share our power and are not so easy to kill. The hunters soon realized that killing dragonhearts before they joined with their male was a more efficient way of achieving their ends. Dragonhearts are vulnerable without their dragon and could be dispatched easily as young girls. And so, many potential dragonhearts were killed before their time.
“Without a chance to find balance with their dragonheart more and more dragons grew weary and rudderless. There were no new dragons born for an eon. As for me, my heart wearied of the endless lonely years and I decided to Sleep here after informing the Watchers—a group of my brethren who guard over the Sleeping ones and also eliminate threats to dragonkin, including the hunters.
“I Slept for centuries until I sensed you in this land. A dragon can always sense a dragonheart nearby. And if she is the one fated for him, not even the mightiest spell will keep him from rousing."
I swallowed. “I’m...your Dragonheart?"
Drekk rose from the bathing pool, holding me in his arms. Water slid down our bodies. He placed me on my feet so that I was facing him,
"Yes. From the moment I sensed your presence in my mind, you have been mine. As you have been from the juncture of your birth and as you will be in the long eons ahead of us. Now they seem filled with joy and promise and my heart rejoices in anticipation of every moment."
He knelt in front of me. “Lena, my heart, do you accept me? All my riches, everything that I am, all that I will be, all shall be yours forever if you will but consent to be mine. Never will I hurt you, but I will protect you and the children of your body with my every breath and sinew."
Drekk looked so proud kneeling in front of me openly offering me all of himself. Vulnerability shone from his eyes.
I stumbled over to him. It felt wrong having such a powerful creature at my feet.
I knelt, my arms around Drekk’s neck.
“Oh Drekk!" My breath hitched. “I am yours. When I woke up tied up like a virgin sacrifice, I was terrified, I admit it. But somehow you made me trust you and fall for you. I can’t deny this connection anymore." I touched my chest. “I feel it in here and I know its real. Its everything I’ve ever wanted and more.”
He hugged me tight to his chest. “I am yours until the end of time, little one. Since before you were born I have been yours."
The room became dark. In that darkness a luminescence of increasing intensity spread until my eyes teared. Hazily I observed a shaft of fiery light leave Drekk’s chest and enter mine.
It slammed into me with the force of a powerful punch. Hunching, I wheezed. The light spread all over my body transforming my every cell. I literally levitated above the floor. Soundless screams left my mouth as I was altered forever.
On his knees, eyes closed, head thrown back, hands fisted on his thighs, teeth clenched, Drekk appeared insensible to what was happening to me.
Magick after magick, knowledge of incantations, knowledge of the location of the One Eternal Flame—the sacred birthplace of all dragons, knowledge of the location of all the Dragonhaemes, of birthing and raising a dragon babe, of dragon rituals, and the origin of the magic, the origin of the world. Skills of manipulating matter and magic from the smallest particle to the largest were now embedded in my mind and so was the location of every land, every plane and celestial object in the universe. It filled me until I fractured into light and was remade again.

When I came to I was in bed. It was the first time I had ever woken in my dragon’s arms and I decided I liked it. Very much.
The heat was gone. At some level, since that first day in the cave the persistent hunger
had been with me with the intensity varying depending on how sexually satiated I was. But my body was now free of the ravenous cravings and I breathed a sigh of relief.
“Awake, love?” Drekk moved over me and made love to me tenderly. With worshipful lips, he kissed every part of me. Without the heat I was able to respond with a clear mind. The dragon seduced me with his reverent touch and we had a leisurely session of loving filled with sighs and gentle kisses and exploration until we came together in a crescendo.
Both breathing hard, we lay there recovering. Drekk was still hard within me. I tightened on him lazily. "Again?” I asked.
He smiled. “Again."
Rolling over to his back, he placed me on his hips, his cock still inside me. Drekk was so broad across the hips—or I was so small in comparison—that my knees barely reached the bed. This position impelled him far inside me and his cock pressed against my womb. Confused, I froze. I didn’t know whether to go up or press down on his cock. It was so deliciously sensitive there and yet the sensation bordered on pain too.
Drekk folded his arms unhurriedly below his head. “It is your turn to do the work, little one. Do not disappoint me."
Carefully I looked us over. Not having observed any creature mate in this position, I wasn't exactly sure what to do.
Also, now I glowed faintly of embers just like Drekk.
He chuckled. “Pretend you are riding a horse. Move up and down on my cock."
That would work. "What will I brace myself on?" I asked.
Drekk held out his palms in answer. I placed my palms on his, exactly how I did it when transferred power to other creatures. A steady stream of magic flew between us. I moved on his cock. I experimented. I assessed. I twisted my hips. I squeezed him with my inner muscles. Bearing down and pulling up, I went slow first. Once I was more comfortable with the rhythm I shoved up and down faster, especially as I could perceive a glimmer of waiting rapture. My breasts bounced. I leaned back to brace myself against Drekk’s thighs and kept moving, chasing my pleasure.
Soon Drekk was a sweaty, tortured mess below me. He was doing his best to let me explore our pleasure to my heart's content.
Ready to come, Drekk?
You come first. I will hold on.
His teeth were bared, and scales appeared all over his skin. Drekk was barely holding back from taking control. But I wanted us to come together. I squeezed on his cock with a fierce grip and he started spewing in me with a yell. His hot spill inside me started my climax and I started shaking.
“Ooh, Drekk!” I fell forward on to his chest and he clenched me to him with savage arms. He brushed my hair as I came back down, my head lying over his heart.
We slept in each other’s arms. Low-level magicks buzzed through both our bodies in a single continuous circuit.
Chapter Nine
It was dawn when I woke. Drekk was still asleep but I felt vital and brimming with awareness. I could sense the sunlight touching the edge of our land. Herds waking up to forage for water. Hungry young ones crying to be fed. Birdsong. Fishes escaping sharp-eyed birds in the lake. I could sense the belly of the volcano behind me and knew that I could manipulate them all with a thought.
Now I could build worlds, end lives, change the fabric of nature itself—all in a fraction of a second. For a while, I marveled at the sheer potential Drekk held within himself that he shared with me. Such power could be awe-inspiring but also leave the holder lonely.
There were so few who could empathize.
I understood now that Drekk had been lonely for a very long time. I could even identify with it because I was the same for most of my comparatively short life. Maybe the fates had paired us up correctly after all.
Excited at the thought of exploring my new abilities, I got up. Maybe I could try to fly today. It was certainly something I had wanted to do often as a child and would have helped with getaway attempts in my former job.
Humming under my breath, I changed into a soft white tunic and belted it over comfortable pants and strapped sandals.
The jewel box was full today. What would I wear?
When I thought it, everything vanished but two small rings with diamond hoops. I examined them, wondering how to put them on my unpierced ears when an image flashed in my mind of me wearing nothing but these two rings—on the tips of my breasts.
I almost dropped the box.
Was it possible Drekk wanted me to wear these rings like that? A glance showed me that he was still asleep. I must have tired him out last night, poor dragon.
With a smile, I left for the kitchen. It was full of the supplies I needed to cook, but as I was not exactly competent, I decided to try out my magic. A concentrated thought produced a plate of breakfast on the table.
Bacon with eggs and fruit. Ah.
A cup of tea also in hand, I stepped out to the small herb garden. Gazing about, I sighed, wishing the garden were larger and had roses.
Immediately the gardens extended, becoming much larger with winding paths, metalwork benches and randomly spaced small ponds. Rose climbers grew in an arbor around me and bushes of every color of rose were to be seen in bloom everywhere.
Perfect, I thought happily and ate my breakfast.
When full, I transported the plates to the sink and rolled up my sleeves. I was about to fly. Standing, I tried to shift to a dragon, but it only left me feeling constipated. Oh well, maybe I should think about growing wings. I tried to concentrate on wings erupting out of my back. But being as I was scared that would hurt my skin, I couldn't concentrate fully.
When nothing worked, I tried to remember the metal artwork in the bedroom. The woman in chains was obviously a dragonheart. There hadn’t seemed to be any images of a female dragon or a woman flying about on her own, with or without wings. Always she was with her dragon and especially when flying.
Looked like flying alone might be an impossibility.
Not fair! I’d had always wanted to fly. All this magic and I couldn’t do the one thing I’d have found a magical use for?!
I pouted.
There was a rumbly laugh and Drekk appeared next to me in the garden.
"Oh, little one, you are so entertaining. Don't think so hard. You woke me up with your thoughts today."
When I scowled at him, he said with raised hands, " Alright, I will take you up for a flight. I need to hunt my meal anyway and I am especially hungry after last night."
He gave me a very satisfied look. “Where shall I take you?"
Now that I couldn’t exercise my wings—literally—what was the next option? "I want to explore my boat,” I said a bit sulkily.
Drekk shifted to his large dragon form. He picked me up gently in his talons and flew to the lake. Dropping me onto the boat’s deck, he flew away into the forest, probably sensing prey.
I explored the boat in awe. It was gorgeous. On one side it held the sleek head of a golden dragon, the body of which was the entire boat. Oars lined the boat on both sides and there were also sails. Below decks, there were luxurious rooms to dine in and sleep. Above decks there were covered areas with fat cushions and low tables where one could lounge or nap for an afternoon's delight.
While I explored, Drekk had had his meal. He returned and dived into the pristine lake to wash himself. It was so clear I could see all the way to the bottom even though the lake was very deep.
Join me, little one. I’ve made the water warm for you. He shifted to his human form and swam lazily towards the boat.
As warm as the lava? I asked reminding him of the time we had explored the molten lake in the volcano.
He laughed. It echoed. Not as heated perhaps, but still I think you will find it agreeable.
Removing all my clothes, I jumped in the lake. We both cavorted about like children. He pulled me under and I splashed him. We raced around trying to catch each other. It was all very innocent and fun.
But soon seeing my naked body incited him, and he had me impaled on his cock as he took turns sucking on
my nipples. When he bit on my nipple, I came. I was spasming around his rigid cock, when his wings exploded out and he flew up. His every upswing thrust him deep into me. I was helpless as gravity left me unable to oppose him. Within minutes, I was thrashing about on his cock, shuddering uncontrollably.
"Remind me to take you flying, just like this," he muttered hotly in my ear. He stuck his tongue in my ear and slammed into me hard. I exploded again. We landed on the deck of the boat and Drekk arranged my limp body on the cushions spread-eagled.
The diamond hoops on my breasts seemed to inflame him beyond anything. He sucked on my nipples for hours, taking turns with each breast. He pulled the hoop on my nipple, playing with it, twisting it. Then he switched to the other. He proved to me that I could come with nipple-play alone and that I could come for hours.
My cries rang out repeatedly scaring the birds and animals who used the lake to drink or hunt food. After a while my voice grew hoarse. In between climaxes, Drekk fed me sweet juices with chewy fruit pieces in them so that I wouldn’t be fatigued. The juices soothed my throat.
But he paid no attention to my pleas for mercy.
When I complained that my nipples were chafed, Drekk turned his attentions to my mons. He slid a finger into me and a second one, hooking them, pressing against that special spot. When I had finished shuddering, he tried to force another thick finger in me. I was already swollen with pleasure, so I tried to push him away.
“Too sensitive," I sobbed.
"Take it for me, little one. You are such a brave girl. You can take it." Very slowly he pushed the third finger in me, going all the way. He probed my insides with his fingers. Twisting them, hooking them. He rammed into me, then slowed down to tender thrusts. He kept them in me for hours. I was semi-delirious with pleasure by then.
Sometimes Drekk would use his other hand to circle or tease my nub very lightly. Then he bent to suck my nub, as if he needed a taste once in a while. The strong sucking pressure there made me wince, but it also made me come.
He kept me in the heights the entire day. Continuously coming. Even when I thought my body could handle no more, it kept finding a higher plateau. Drekk kept whispering in my ear, "Take it for me, you plucky girl. Show me you can take it."
