"I understand, your grace," he said, rising. He looked around for his sword, intending to grab it and leave before Sanguine changed his mind about killing him, but Kaira stepped forward.
"Before you go," she told him, "I need to have a token of your promise."
"A token?" He had nothing to give her.
Kaira nodded and stepped closer until she was directly in front of him. He looked quickly to Sanguine to make sure that the man was not about to shift into dragon form and burn him to a crisp. Sanguine did not look jealous or irritated, though. He looked amused.
"Kaira, what are you doing?" Edward whispered. He felt his cock begin to grow hard at her close proximity. She seemed to know. She seemed to like it.
Kaira leaned forward and kissed Edward, tasting him softly as she grabbed his cock over his pants.
"You are going to give me this," she said, squeezing a little bit harder. "And you're going to do it as a sign of your promise."

Edward's cock was at full alert when Kaira began stripping his clothes off. Sanguine came up behind her and began kissing her neck as she continued kissing Edward. The poor knight wasn't sure what was happening or what he was supposed to do, but Sanguine seemed comfortable with whatever was going on.
Edward would take that as a sign that the dragon wasn't going to kill him, so he could go through with this.
He could.
He kissed Kaira back fervently with all the passion years of pent-up energy had afforded him. His hands roamed up to her dress and he began to massage her breasts over her gown. Kaira let out a small moan as she began to feel Edward pressing against her front and Sanguine pressing against her back.
This was going to be fun.
Sanguine unlaced the back of Kaira's dress so that it began to fall down. Edward didn't miss a beat and immediately began licking and sucking on her nipples, gently biting each nub. She moaned, leaning back into Sanguine as Edward pleasured her front.
"You like that, don't you, princess?" Hissed Sanguine.
Kaira could only nod.
She did like it, very much. She had admired Edward for years. He was strong, tall, and handsome. What wasn't to love? The fact that he was brave made this even better. There was no better way to seal an oath of secrecy than with a deeper, darker secret.
She knew that when Edward had finished bedding her, he would be ready to lie to her father's face about her. He would have no choice. Kaira was giving Edward something very important, something very valuable, something very private.
In turn, he would keep his silence.
Edward continued to kiss down her body, gently licking and touching each part of her with his tongue. When he reached her soft folds, he licked her softly, tasting her. Kaira moaned, grabbing his hair, pushing him deeper into her. He tasted her soft juices, the way she was already wet and needy for him.
For both of them.
Sanguine nudged Kaira down and she complied, spreading her body onto the carpet beneath them. She laid on her back, spreading her legs so that Edward could continue to taste and tease her clit with his mouth. Sanguine positioned himself by her head, stripping out of his pants. The tip of his cock was already wet with pre-cum. She could see it glistening from her position.
"Taste me," he told her, and she obliged, letting his dick slide into her mouth. Edward felt her thighs tense as she did, and he licked faster, wanting to bring her over the edge before he fucked her for real.
Kaira continued to suck Sanguine's cock as Edward pleasured her. She had already tasted Sanguine as a dragon today. Now it was her turn to taste him as a man. His dick was hard as he thrust in and out of her mouth, but she could barely focus on him with Edward between her legs. She closed her eyes and moaned, feeling overloaded with sensations.
"Come for me, princess," Edward commanded, sucking hard on her clit.
Kaira arched her back and moaned into Sanguine's cock as she obeyed, climaxing hard on Edward's face. The knight had been waiting years to see this, to taste this, and the moment was just as perfect as he had always imagined that it would be.
"Fuck her," Sanguine said as Kaira's orgasm faded. "Or I will," he growled.
Edward nodded and gently flipped Kaira over so that she was on all fours. Sanguine moved back in front of her face, continuing to thrust his dick into Kaira's mouth. Edward sat behind her for a moment, sliding his hands over her ass, squeezing her soft, round globes.
Kaira looked beautiful: more beautiful than anyone he had ever imagined. He watched her head bounce in front of Sanguine’s cock, eating him up. She was loving this: every second of it. Edward slid one finger inside of her, feeling how wet and throbbing she was. Her channel felt tight around him. He couldn’t wait to feel her with his dick.
He nudged inside of her slowly at first, then all at once as Kaira continued sucking, licking, and teasing Sanguine. Edward gripped her hips tightly, thrusting in and out of her wet slit. Kaira moaned and squeezed Edward’s cock with her body. He almost came then, but did his best to hold on.
Sanguine gripped her hair as she thrust in and out of him.
“Just like that, baby,” he whispered.
Urged on by his dirty talk, Kaira sucked and kissed harder, tasting every bit of him as Edward continued fucking her from behind. Sanguine squeezed her hair and grunted as he finally exploded inside Kaira’s mouth.
As Sanguine’s juices flowed over her lips and tongue, Kaira found it impossible to hold back another orgasm. She moaned onto Sanguine’s cock, doing her best to announce her explosion, then closed her eyes as her body began shaking with pleasure.
At the sight of Kaira coming, Edward could no longer hold back his own orgasm. He burst inside of her, gripping her body tightly as he did.
When he was done, Sanguine and Kaira were both looking at him.
“Consider it a promise,” Edward said finally.
And they both smiled.

When Edward left the cave, Kaira felt a sense of relief. She had been anxious since he arrived, nervous. Until she actually saw him leave, she felt like she could not relax. Granted, she’d just been fucked quite well by not one, but two attractive men. Somehow, though, seeing Edward depart had lifted her spirits.
For once in her life, Kaira had made her own decision. She had done something that no one ever would have dreamed possible, yet she had, and she had managed it without the interference of her father or villagers.
She had managed to find favor in the eyes of an unpleasable dragon.
She had managed to find herself falling in love with him.
Whether or not Sanguine loved her back, Kaira didn't much mind. What she did want was the honor of knowing that she would get to be with him for a very, very long time. Kaira loved the fact that she wouldn't have to return to Naga and become queen. She could live out her days here, in the darkness of the forest, with Sanguine by her side.
And now that Edward was gone, she planned to make the most of her time with Sanguine.
***
The dragon stood in his treasure room and looked over his piles of gold. He had plundered many villages and stolen many items, but nothing had brought him as much pleasure as Kaira. She had been so quiet and timid when she first arrived, and now she was begging to stay.
Sanguine loved it.
He loved knowing that she was his: completely his.
He loved knowing that she couldn't quite get enough of him.
He loved knowing that no matter what happened now, Kaira had accepted him fully: all of him.
And Sanguine felt quite wonderful about the whole thing.
***
Edward marched through the forest, trying to head toward Naga. Things were different now. Very different. He had dreamed for so long of being the one to seduce Kaira, of being the one to hold her, of being the one she ran to.
Now that dream was gone.
Now she had Sanguine.
Still, she had given him two things that he could have only eve
r dreamed about: her trust and her body.
Both were things he would never forget, would never take for granted.
Edward trudged over hills and bumped into trees as he began to find his way back through the forest. He wasn't quite sure how long he had been gone for. Probably longer than the king would have liked, but Edward couldn't worry about that now.
Now he had to worry about lying to his ruler.
Edward didn't particularly have a lot of experience lying. He had been taught only to lie to women and even then, only when they'll get upset about the truth. He hadn't lied to his mother in years and he had certainly never lied to the king. He wondered what would happen if King Liam found out that Edward was lying about Kaira's whereabouts.
He wondered if it would hurt to be beheaded.
It wasn't that Edward particularly cared if Kaira stayed away. She had never much cared for being a princess. She had never really liked it much.
But there was more to it than that.
She loved being with Sanguine. Edward could tell. More than that, he could tell that Sanguine cared for her in the same way. While Liam had described Sanguine as a cruel, harsh creature, capable of murder and slaughter. Maybe those things were true. They certainly weren't when it came to Kaira, though.
No, Edward knew there was something much deeper at play when Sanguine looked at Kaira. There was something beautiful and dark and magical. There was something hauntingly gorgeous. He looked at her and his eyes flashed different colors. He looked at her and he felt protective. He looked at her and he felt complete.
She was his mate.
Edward could tell.
And if letting Kaira, his friend for many years, find happiness meant letting her be with a dragon, then Edward was quite okay with that.

Liam was outraged at the news, but not surprised. She was gone. His daughter, his only child, was gone. More than that: she was gone and it was because of nothing more than a wild boar. Edward had slaughtered the beast that killed Kaira and brought it to him as a token.
Edward had kept his promise.
Liam didn’t regret sending the Knight after his daughter. It was the only reasonable choice, he thought. He needed to know that she was safe, which she wasn’t. Now, though, at least he knew. At least he had an understanding of what had happened to his daughter. At least he got to know that she was dead.
He didn’t have to spend the rest of his life wondering if she had been captured or tortured.
He could die in peace now.
But death was not something that Liam was ready for, so he sent for some girls. New girls. Girls he’d never had before, girls who didn’t know what to expect from him, girls he could play with until he got bored, then he could send them away.
Kel procured two young women he deemed to be worthy of the king and sent them in. Liam was on his bed when he heard the knock.
“Come inside,” he spoke loudly, but did not yell. The King did not have to repeat himself. The door opened and two young women came into the room together. The first woman had long black hair and was slender. She waited until her companion was in the room, then closed and bolted the door. The other girl’s hair was shorter, and lighter, almost white. She was also much curvier than her counterpart. They were a perfect contrast.
Kel had chosen well.
Without hesitation, the two women walked up to the bed where Liam was laying. They both knelt beside the bed, showing him a sign of honor and respect, before standing again.
“Majesty,” the first woman spoke first. “I am Lia. This is Renea. We are here at Kel’s request.”
Liam nodded, but said nothing. He wanted to see what these girls would do. He was quite drunk and quite tired and quite sad, so he wasn’t feeling particularly dominating or dark tonight. No, all he wanted was a distraction. All he wanted was something to make him stop feeling so much.
Fortunately, Kel always chose just the right girls. These two were no exception. They turned to each other and began kissing while Liam watched. Lia leaned down and kissed Renea’s tiny lips passionately and without hesitation. She wrapped her fingers in Renea’s hair and pulled her closer, exploring her mouth openly and patiently.
Liam thought it was quite possibly the best thing he had ever seen.
His cock grew hard beneath his robe and he untied it, allowing himself easy access to his dick. If the girls noticed, they didn’t give any indication. They never stopped kissing as Liam began stroking himself quickly. His strokes were long and hard, just like his cock. He needed this more than he’d ever needed anything.
And it wasn’t just because of the liquor.
Ever since Kaira’s mother died, Liam had been broken. He had never quite recovered from her death. Now, he was in the same position. He was a damaged king with no heir and no hope. He knew that he had been letting his duties as king slip from him. He knew it was only a matter of time before someone tried to take the throne.
But tonight, Liam didn’t want to worry about that. Tonight he didn’t want to think about other countries invading or his men trying to take their place on his throne.
No, tonight he just wanted to feel.
Anything.
Renea kissed Lia back and began stroking her breasts. They were both clothed in long, blue gowns. Liam wished they would just take them off, but he didn’t feel like speaking. He just wanted to see what they would do to each other, and eventually, what they would do to him.
Renea’s hands cupped and pinched Lia’s small breasts, while Lia began to massage Renea’s heavier tits. Throughout all of it, their lips never stopped touching. Liam watched excitedly as Lia moved her mouth to Renea’s neck and began sucking and biting her.
Renea let out a small, excited gasp.
Liam thought he might come right then, just from that perfect sound.
Somehow, he managed not to lose control, and instead continued watching the two girls. They stripped each other slowly, taking their time unlacing each other and letting their dresses fall to the floor of Liam’s bedroom. Lia’s olive skin contrasted sharply with Renea’s paler tone, but it was beautiful to see them mixed together as they began kissing deeper.
Lia turned Renea around and pushed her forward so that she was bent over Liam’s bed. Renea grabbed Liam’s thigh for support, but did not try to touch him further. Her feet were still planted firmly on the floor: her ass on display for Lia.
Lia smiled.
“Such a good little pet,” she murmured, and Liam’s eyes went wide. He had never had his girls speak to each other like this before. Yes, he’d been with women before, many women, and many at the same time, but this was something altogether new for him.
This was better than anything he expected.
Lia gently ran her fingers down Renea’s back, eliciting a soft moan of pleasure. Renea’s eyes fluttered closed, but Liam pressed his hand to her cheek.
“Keep them open,” he whispered.
Renea obliged.
Lia continued to stroke and touch Renea’s spine for a moment, then she traced lower. Her fingers made it to Renea’s ass and began massaging it. Renea seemed to love this, judging by the way she was gripping Liam’s thigh.
He stroked his cock harder and faster, furiously pulling at himself as he watched their moans. He was drunk and tired and ready to come. He didn’t want to fuck either of these girls. He wanted to come while they watched him, knowing they wouldn’t have the chance to climb on his mighty cock.
Renea moaned again, squeezing Liam's thighs again with her hands. Then she slowly, slowly moved one hand up to his balls and squeezed.
That was all it took.
Liam came hard and fast, spurting his juices out.
He closed his eyes as he did, and never saw the knife coming toward his throat. He died before his orgasm was complete, before he had a chance to realize that Renea and Lia were nothing more than well-paid assassins, sent to assist in the overthrow of Naga.
They were not the whores he
had asked for.
They were not the women he had wanted.
But the king died quickly with a smile on his face.

Kaira was taking quite a liking to dragon life.
She and Sanguine went hunting now. They would go out in the cover of darkness and seek their prey. Sanguine even gave Kaira her bow and arrows so that she could actually hunt from a distance, rather than having to use her knife up close. They caught several deer and even a large bear. Kaira said there was no way they'd be able to eat an entire bear, but Sanguine just smiled, not commenting on the fact that an entire bear wouldn't be nearly enough to satisfy a hungry dragon.
When they weren't hunting or eating, Sanguine and Kaira wandered about his treasure rooms, looking at all the things he had collected. Kaira selected her favorite necklaces and earrings and wore them around the caverns. She took them off only when Sanguine asked her to, only when he wanted to fuck her hard without worrying about pulling them off.
And there was that.
There was the sex.
Sanguine had impressed Kaira from the start, but even now, she loved the way she felt with him. She loved the way their bodies molded into each other in the darkness.
"Take off the ruby," he told her once, after a day of exploring the caves and playing in the woods. Kaira fingered the necklace, but took it off as requested. She laid the necklace on a nearby table and walked back to Sanguine.
His arms were ready for her.
He held her close, pulling her into himself. She breathed him in. She was falling for the dragon man and she was falling for him hard. Kaira had never understood what could cause people to be so reckless with their choices when it came to love.
Now she knew.
Now she understood.
Now Kaira knew exactly what it meant to be crazy about someone. She knew exactly what it meant to need someone. She knew exactly what it meant to crave someone.
And oh, did she crave Sanguine.
