“God, yes, Devon. Fuck me harder.”
Devon’s response came in the form of his hands moving upward to grasp Albert’s waist and pulling him back onto him. His cock ripped into him forcefully, causing him to cry out loudly and it was only followed by more cries as Devon continued to fuck him as if possessed while he only begged for more. Finally, he couldn’t hold back anymore, flooding Albert’s tight crevice with a load of cum that spilled down his cock and balls as Devon pulled free of him and collapsed beside him on the bed.
“That was fucking great,” Devon said, almost in a sigh.
“It certainly was,” Albert breathed.
Afterwards, Devon ran a hot bath in the oversize Jacuzzi tub in the adjoining room and they climbed in together. Albert sat between his legs with his back toward him as Devon took his time washing him. He kissed his neck and shoulders softly as he bathed him like a doting lover. Though he was only a one-night stand, Albert found that he was feeling something more for him and that was most likely a bad idea, but he just couldn’t seem to help himself.
“Can you stay tonight?” Devon asked.
“I’d like that,” Albert found himself saying.
The night was spent making love in every manner possible and not just uninhibited sex. Albert felt truly adored despite not really knowing Devon at all. There was just something about him that spoke to him, that made him want to stay with him for as long as Devon would allow. When the morning dawned, he found himself dreading having to part ways. An inexplicable sadness crept over him.
Standing up from the bed, he was immediately overcome by a feeling of imbalance and dropped back down on the bed. Looking downward, he was surprised to see that his normally flat, chiseled stomach was protruding in a rounded, bloated fashion. He couldn’t fathom why that would be and suddenly felt self-conscious. Clamoring for his clothing, still scattered about the room, he struggled to button the fly of his jeans and found that he couldn’t.
Leaving his shirt untucked, he pulled it over his unbuttoned jeans and decided to call a cab before Devon awoke. Nothing good could come of already feeling so attached to a stranger. He decided it was best just to cut his losses and get out of here before he decided he liked this guy even more than he already did. Plus, he really needed to get home or perhaps even to a doctor to see what was going on with his stomach. The horrible thought occurred to him that it might even be a tumor.
“It’s not a tumor,” Devon suddenly said, sitting up in the bed and looking at his stomach.
“What?”
“What you were thinking. It’s not a tumor,” Devon repeated.
“How could you possibly know what I was thinking?”
“I just do. You need to get your pants back off, Albert. That is going to grow even more in a matter of hours and those things are going to get dreadfully uncomfortable, very quickly.”
“What are you talking about? What is happening to me? Have you done something to me?”
“Yes. I mean, I didn’t mean to. I just didn’t know. I knew I felt something for you from the moment I lay eyes on your picture, but I had no idea that you were the one until I heard you thinking.”
“Heard me thinking???”
“Take off your pants and lay back down, Albert. You aren’t going to want to be on your feet when I say this.”
“Just tell me, Devon. This is all getting to sound just a little bit crazy and I think maybe I should get going.”
“You can’t leave, Albert. You can’t go to the doctor. It’s not a tumor. It’s a baby. You’re pregnant.”
Albert stared at him blankly for a moment. What kind of whack job was he? He had seemed a bit odd when they met, yet strangely compelling and attractive in a way that Albert couldn’t quite describe, but saying he was pregnant was just crazy. Albert laughed a bit nervously and began looking for his shoes.
“I’m not kidding, Albert.”
“Men don’t get pregnant, Devon. It’s impossible.”
“Not impossible, just unheard of.”
“Is there a difference?”
“Yes. Impossible means it never happens. Unheard of just means no one is ever told about it. You’ll need to stay here with me until it is born.”
“Devon, do you have any idea how completely berserk you sound right now?”
“Yes. I do, but if you will take off those pants and come over here, I will explain it to you.”
“I don’t think . . ..”
Albert’s words were cut off by a sudden stirring in his belly that felt like something moving beneath his skin. He lifted his shirt and saw a small rippled appear on one side and roll across his abdomen as if something shifted from one side to another. There was, in fact, something inside of him. Everything went gray for a moment as he almost passed out. Devon was quickly out of bed and catching him before he could hit the floor.
“I need to lie down,” Albert croaked.
“Yes, you do.”
Devon lay him across the bed and slide off his pants. Albert could feel how tight they had already become as they slid off his swollen belly and down his legs. Pulling his shirt up, he stared at his abdomen, already twice the size it had been when he had awakened this morning. This was just pure insanity, but he couldn’t deny that it seemed very real.
“What is happening, Devon?”
“Okay, first things first. This is all going to sound incredibly crazy to you, but I’m not like normal men. I come for a long line of dragon shifters.”
“Dragon shifters?”
“Yes. I am able to shift my form from that of a human to that of a real life, fire breathing dragon when I choose to do so.”
Albert laughed.
“I know it is difficult for someone who has never seen such things to believe, but I assure it is true.”
“So, you are a dragon shifter and now I am pregnant with your dragon baby?”
“Pretty much.”
“Why would you do that to me? Why would you have sex with me knowing that you would do this to me?”
“I didn’t expect this. Dragon shifters are only able to impregnate their one true mate. I’ve been looking for my mate for some time now and had no luck. I never expected it to be some guy I had hooked up with on Grindr for a one-night stand.”
“So, what now? How does this thing get out of me? I mean, it’s a dragon, for shit’s sake!”
“No. It’s a baby. A very special baby that will carry on the tradition of being a dragon shifter when the time comes.”
“But I’m a man. Where is it growing and how will I give birth to it? For the love of God, please don’t tell me this thing is coming out of my cock somehow.”
Devon laughed gently and reached out to stroke his cheek as he looked deeply into his eyes. There was something there, something that was so much more than just lust or resignation. He could see real affection. More importantly, he found that he felt it too.
“When the time comes, it will be removed by surgery. We have doctors in our clan that know what to do. I will take you to see him today, as soon as I can get into contact with him so that he can keep an eye on you while you’re pregnant.”
“I can’t be pregnant! I have a life to get back to! I’m only here for two weeks!”
Devon frowned and looked downward for a moment. When he looked back up, Albert could see something in his eyes. It was a sadness that he’d never seen in the eyes of any man except one deeply hurt by someone.
“Please don’t leave me Albert. I know you are human and you don’t feel things the way I do, to the depth I do, but can you deny that you feel something for me that you wouldn’t normally feel for a one-night stand? Can you sense that there is more between us than just two guys that hooked up for a great night of sex?”
“Yes, I can feel it, Devon.”
“Then give this a chance. Stay here with me and let’s get to know one another better. I think you will find you won’t want to leave after a while. The good news about this baby is that you won’t have t
o wait a long time for him to be born. There is only a one-week gestation period. That is why you are growing so fast. By this time next week, you’ll be giving birth to our child.”
“I don’t know, Devon. This is all so strange.”
“I don’t see that you have a lot of choice. You can leave here and become a science experiment, along with our child when it is born. Is that what you want?”
“No. I have a feeling you wouldn’t allow it anyway.”
“I can’t allow it, Albert. If you want to leave once the baby is born, then I will bid you farewell, but the child must be born. He is the first in centuries and must carry on the tradition. If you wish to go once he has been given life, then I will allow you to do so.”
“You would hold me captive if I don’t agree?”
“I don’t have to hold you captive, Albert. You don’t want to leave. You just think you do, but if you were to get up and attempt to walk out the front door, you’d quickly find that you are unable to do so. The baby will keep you in proximity to its father. It is just the way things work. However, once the baby is born, you will be free to go if you see fit to do so.”
“I don’t think I will want to, somehow.”
“Dragons mate for life, Albert. I’m yours, always and forever.”
“I guess I’m yours too, Devon.”
“I’ll accept that, I suppose. It’s the most I can ask for under the current circumstances.”
“In that case, I’m starving. Can we have some breakfast?”
Devon laughed and nodded his head, climbing out of the bed and slipping on some clothes. Albert started to get up and found that his rapidly increasing stomach gave him a bit of grief about just rising up and stepping out of bed. Instead, he sort of rolled off the side of the bed and stood looking at Devon with a look of annoyance.
“I can’t believe I’m so fat and I can’t even skip a meal because I’m starving. I feel like I haven’t eaten for weeks.”
“Yeah. You best get used to that for a bit. I’m told that carrying a dragon baby makes you completely ravenous. I’ll get you some food before you decide to gnaw off one of my arms or something.”
“Very funny,” Albert replied.
Devon walked him out to the large kitchen that stood on one side of the main room of the cabin and sat him down at a nearby table. Sitting a bowl of fruit in front of him and pouring him a glass of milk, he went to the refrigerator to retrieve some items to make for breakfast.
By the time he had managed to make a stack of pancakes, bacon, eggs and a few slices of fresh vegetables, Albert had already eaten a banana, apple, pear and two huge handfuls of grapes. None of it had touched his hunger. Devon sat the plate in front of him, watching him devour the food as he himself just ate a single pancake and a couple slices of the bacon.
“Looks like I’m going to have to order groceries.”
“We can go to the market. If I put on a big overcoat, it should cover this up. People will just think I’m fat.”
“There is a bit more of a problem than that. You aren’t going to be able to go beyond the grounds until the baby is born.”
“I know you said that the baby wouldn’t let me leave you, but you would be with me, so it’s not like there would be any distance between us.”
“No, it’s not that. There is another problem. We’re going to have to keep this very quiet if you are to deliver this child safely.”
“Safely? What do you mean?”
“I have enemies, Albert. Well, really, one in particular. See, there are quite a few people in my dragon clan, relatives and such. However, the ability to dragon shift is confined to a single bloodline within our ranks. I am the only one left. That is why this child is so important. The line dies with me otherwise.”
“And someone wants that to happen?”
“Yes. There is an immortal. He is one of a long line of Scottish Highlanders. My father was attacked by them centuries ago and he destroyed an entire village in the process of defending himself. Most of the women and children fled, but one, this man’s wife was lost in a fire started by my father. It was an unfortunate accident and brought on by their own actions, as my father would have never attacked them unprovoked. He was merely trying to save himself and my family.”
“Wait. Your father was alive centuries ago? How old are you, Devon?”
“Physically, not much older than yourself. We age differently after the accelerated birth. Chronologically, very old.”
“And in all this time, you’ve never found your mate?”
“Not until now.”
Albert looked at him softly, momentarily forgetting that he was telling him about a very dangerous situation they were in. Smiling thoughtfully, he nodded and touched his cheek. Devon was completely right. He felt something strong for him and it seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment.
“Okay. Go on,” he told him.
“The man never forgave my father. He eventually found him and my mother and slaughtered them in their sleep. I escaped into the mountains and hid there until I could find safe passage to another part of the world. I found this remote area of Hawaii and I’ve been here for a very long time. Recently, I’ve had reason to believe that the man has found me.”
“Why would he want to hurt you? He got his revenge on your father it sounds like.”
“That just wasn’t good enough for him. He wants all dragons gone and since I’m the last known one, he won’t stop hunting me until I’m gone.”
“If he is immortal, how will you ever find peace?”
“I won’t unless I can kill him. There is a way to do so, but it has to take place in a precise time and location. I have only one single opportunity each year to do so and I have not yet managed to meet him at that point in time.”
“When is the next opportunity?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Oh my God! So, you have a chance to kill this man tomorrow, but after that, you will have to manage to elude him for another entire year before you have another chance?”
“That’s correct.”
“I understand. Perhaps you should just continue to hide from him rather than trying to take him out. I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you.”
“I feel the same way, Albert. Now, let’s order some groceries and get the doctor over here to examine you.”
“That sounds like a plan to me.”
Devon picked up the phone and began ordering groceries to be delivered to his mountain retreat. Albert chimed in periodically and added items to the list. By the time he was done, they had quite a stash of incoming food on order. A couple of hours later, they were putting away the things that had been delivered when the doorbell rang.
“That will be the doctor,” Devon said, walking toward the door and opening it. An elderly gentleman stood looking at him from just outside.
“Well, for hell’s sake, Devon. Are you going to let me in or leave me out here to sweat off my balls?”
“Good to see you again too, Doc,” Devon laughed, waving him inside. The physician walked toward Albert, looking him up and down.
“You must be the Misses,” he said sourly.
“I suppose that is an apt enough description.”
“You young kids today. No fucking morals. Completely lost the concept of courting and marriage. It’s just hook up and fuck all else. Now, look at you. Some guys get a rude awakening when they come to my office and find out they have the fucking clap or gonorrhea. Your lot gets knocked up with dragons. Are you just fucking special?”
Albert looked past the slightly built man toward Devon with a raised eyebrow. What sort of doctor had he brought to look at him? It was quite the bedside manner he had.
“Don’t mind all that, Albert. Doc here has a potty mouth and low opinion of today’s youth, but his medical expertise is unrivaled. He’s been perfecting it since the stone ages.”
“Fucking stone ages. I’m not that God damned old, you little twit,” the doctor co
untered.
“You are if you’re a day,” Devon teased.
“Fuck you, kid. Let me get a look at your bastard son and I’ll be on my way. I suggest the two of you at least make this all legal before he is born so he isn’t illegitimate.”
“Shifters have been having illegitimate dragon babies since the dawn of time. No one used to get married, why should we?”
“Fuck it all. Come on,” the doctor said, motioning toward Albert. He led him over to the sofa and had him lie down while he examined him, taking his time to check him carefully and even pulling out a portable scanner to do a quick viewing of the baby.
“Is it all alright?” Albert asked nervously.
“You mean other than the fact that you are a man having a baby? Yes. It’s perfect. I’ll be by daily to check on you, because this little alien you’ve got spawning is going to grow very fast and let me tell you, son. It’s going to hurt like a mother fucker. You ever see that movie Alien where the creature tears its way outward from the woman’s stomach? Let’s just hope I get here before he wants to be born.”
Albert looked horrified for a moment, until the doctor laughed and stood up from the edge of the sofa.
“Ah, I’m just yanking your chain, kid. You’ll be just fine. I’ll see you tomorrow. I brought you some vitamins to take. Make sure you take one each day because this baby will deplete your natural stock with its rapid growth. It’s important that you are getting what you need back in there in addition to eating healthily.”
“Thanks, Doc,” Albert replied, breathing a sigh of relief.
Devon saw the doctor to the door and walked back to the sofa where Albert lay naked. Putting his hands on his stomach, he caressed it thoughtfully, smiling down at him. Albert found that he, too, felt happy. This wasn’t something he could have ever imagined and it still seemed all but a bit surreal, but he couldn’t deny that he was beginning to feel completely at peace with it. There was a bit of nervousness about the change in his body and pending birth, but otherwise, he could see that life with Devon might be quite nice.
