As if he could read my mind, he turned to me and offered me an escape from my own tortured thoughts.
“Would you like a tour of the house?”
“Why yes, that would be lovely,” I replied.
“The furniture was found in a store in a small village not too far from here. My friends helped get it here and we lifted it with ropes before the walls were put into place,” he explained, as we moved around the house.
We spent the next several days talking about what we wanted in life and what scared us the most. I felt at home in his tree house. His house in the sky. The attraction I had felt when I first saw him had only grown, and gotten stronger. I fought it hard. I knew it was the same for Mishal as well, but I could not see giving in when he would not even tell me anything about him or his past. Until he was comfortable enough to talk to me about his life, there would be no giving in. Everything came to a head when I accidentally caught him in the shower one night. I wondered how long I would be able to hold on to my resolve.
I had secretly watched as the water cascaded down his toned, muscular body and watched his muscles tense with each tingling movement. I was surprised when he turned just enough for me to see his cock fully erect. I put a hand over my mouth so he wouldn’t hear the gasp that slipped from my mouth as I watched him stroke himself to completion as he stood under the water.
Mishal opened the door to the porch and sat beside me in a wooden chair, interrupting the memories of him in the shower.
“Good morning, June. I hope you slept well,” he greeted me.
“Good morning. I slept well thank you. I hope you did as well,” I replied with a smile.
“I slept fine except for the dreams I had,” he said. “They left me feeling a little bit breathless.”
“What kind of dreams did you have?” I asked curiously.
“Well,” I could tell he was thinking carefully before answering. The air between us practically crackled with the fire of words unspoken. “I had dreams of what it would be like to make love to you,” he said never taking his eyes from my face.
“Oh,” I replied not knowing what to say.
My mind was racing. I knew it was only a matter of time before it happened, and the thought made me nervous. He was a perfect male specimen and I was sure he had more experience than I. The thought of making love to him thrilled me and terrified me at the same time.
“Relax June, I am not going to force you to do anything you do not want to do, it was just a dream. If that ever happens between us it will be mutual,” he assured me.
“Mishal, if you are not even comfortable talking to me about yourself and your past, how would you be comfortable making love to me? That’s such an intimate act. There needs to be total trust and right now you don’t have mine,” I said.
His face dropped as if he were a child with a missing puppy and I knew I had hurt his feelings, but he needed to know how I felt.
“I understand completely, June. I wish I could tell you about my life. Maybe one day I will get there,” he said.
“I hope you do, Mishal. I am interested in hearing about you instead of talking about me all the time,” I said with a laugh.
I stood and put my hand on his shoulder as I went back inside. I made my way to the bathroom and got ready to take a shower. I marveled at the fact they made a shower in a tree house and was grateful they were able to figure it out. My thoughts turned to Ming and Lu and I knew they had to be worried about me. I had tried to call them a few times but had no service where I was. I made a mental note to try and get word to them that I was doing okay.
I turned the water on and stepped inside the shower, letting the hot water cascade down my body. It was soothing to my muscles that had ached ever since my fall several days before. As I submerged my head under the water, I felt someone step into the shower behind me. I turned to find Mishal standing behind me in all his naked glory. Every muscle in his body was tensed and he seemed very nervous.
“What are you doing in here?” I asked, shock lacing my tone.
“The attraction I have to you is too strong, June. I need to feel you,” he said stepping closer to me.
“Oh, what the hell,” I said as I pulled him to me.

Mishal
I listened as June got into the shower and I knew that I needed to make my move before I lost the courage. My attraction to her had grown so strong in the days that she had spent with me in the treehouse that I could not hold back anymore. It had heightened when I found her watching me in the shower one night and I knew then that she was attracted to me as I was her. I knew I could not make love to her completely until I revealed to her who and what I was, but I needed to feel her skin against mine and watch her face as I pleasured her in ways that she had never been pleasured before.
I had expected her to resist me climbing in the shower with her, but to my surprise she accepted and pressed her lips to mine. I pulled back and watched as the water cascaded down her body, sliding across her skin slowly. I had never wanted to be a drop of water so badly in my life. I could feel my dragon rumbling inside as my body responded to her and my cock hardened immediately. A soft moan escaped her as I pressed my hardness against her abdomen.
“Your skin feels so good against mine, June. You have no idea how long I have waited to feel this feeling,” I said as my hand slid down her body.
My hands found their way across her breasts and I felt the hardness of her nipples with my lips as I sucked each one until June moaned in delight. As I continued to suck on her nipple, I slid a hand down her body finding my way to the silken honey between her legs. I moaned against her breast as my fingers slid lithely between her soft folds. Feeling how wet she was for me aroused me more and my erection grew against her stomach as I continued to finger her slowly.
I quickened my pace as her moans became louder and higher pitched and I could feel her tensing around my fingers.
“Does that feel good, baby? I can tell you are about to explode around my fingers, and I can’t wait to feel you do it,” I cooed in her ear.
My words coupled with the movement of my fingers sent her over the edge as she screamed in orgasm. I kept going as she spasmed around my fingers causing her to orgasm again as her pussy squeezed my fingers.
“Oh baby, you feel so good I cannot wait to feel you around my cock one day,” I whispered in her ear as I pressed my hard cock into her.
Without a word, June reached down and took my shaft in her hand and started to stroke it up and down causing sensations that I had not felt in a long time.
“Oh yes, that feels so fucking good, June. Please keep going, do not stop,” I begged.
Without taking her eyes away from mine, she slid to her knees in front of me and took my erection into her mouth and gently sucked. I threw my head back and moaned as she bobbed her head back and forth on my throbbing cock, sending electricity through me with every stroke of her tongue.
“Oh yeah, oh god June. If you are not careful you are going to finish me and then the fun will be over, which is not something that we want is it?” I asked as I pulled her up to me and pressed my lips against hers.
I reached for the handle and turned the shower off and wrapped her in a towel before carrying her to my bedroom and closing the door. I gently laid her on the bed and removed the towel from around her perfect body. I pressed my lips to hers then slid down to her neck taking my time with every part as I ventured lower on her body. The moans that escaped her thrilled me and urged me to continue until my mouth reached her throbbing nub. I gently took it between my lips and rolled my tongue around it, causing her to moan loudly and tense her legs around my head.
“Oh, yes! Oh, fuck that feels good. Please I want more,” she begged as I sucked a bit harder.
I carefully slid my finger inside her as I continued to suck her bulging clit. I felt her tense as she neared climax and I quickened the pace to urge her forward. She screamed as she orgasmed around my fingers again and I relishe
d how it felt. As her spasms subsided, she pulled me up to her and kissed me deep and hard as she positioned herself on top of me.
“June, what are you doing? We cannot make love yet. You know nothing about me remember?” I asked.
“Just lay back and relax, Mishal. You will enjoy this, trust me,” she said as she rubbed her clit against the head of my throbbing erection.
I laid back on the bed and closed my eyes as she started to slide back and forth on my cock, fucking me without penetration. The sensations that I felt caused me to throw my head back against the pillow and moan loudly as I gripped her hips.
I felt myself nearing completion as I thrusted my hips forward to meet her rhythm and I could tell she was getting close as well. I tried my best to keep from exploding as I did not want the experience to end, but she felt too damn good and I exploded all over her stomach and clit with a loud moan. I watched her face as she met her final release and collapsed on my chest.
“That was fucking amazing, Mishal,” she panted.
“Yes, yes it was. The best I have had in over a hundred years,” I blurted.
Shit. I thought to myself as she raised up from my chest and looked at me.
“What did you say?” she asked. “One hundred years? That is a farfetched expression.”
“No June, I am afraid it is not. I guess now is going to be the time I tell you about me. I hope you meant what you said about not being one to run,” I said, suddenly getting nervous.
“I am not going to run, Mishal. You can trust me with anything you have to say,” she assured me.
I sighed and rolled to my side so I could see her face directly. I wanted to be able to gauge her emotions through her facial expressions.
“Okay, here goes nothing. I am not what I appear to be. I am not human like you, I just look it,” I started as I watched her face carefully. “I am a dragon shifter and I am also a king. I was in the volcano because my people were at war and the others used magic to trap me and a few of my men in the volcano. We had been in there at least a hundred years before the activity of the volcano broke us free. I am unsure as to why the magic that put us in there did not keep us in there as long as it was supposed to, but I am glad it did not,” I said as I paused to give her time to process what I was saying.
“You are expecting me to believe you are some kind of dragon that was trapped in there?” she asked, anger tainting her beautiful voice.
“I am not expecting you to believe anything June, I am just hoping that you will,” I said as I prepared to continue my story. “Would you like for me to continue or are you finished listening?”
“You may continue but I cannot promise I will believe any of it when you are finished,” she answered.
I knew that was all she could offer me, and I was glad that she had not made any promises she could not keep. She had promised that she would not run, and she had not. For that I was very grateful.
“The men that are with me that built this tree house are also dragon shifters and they have gone to see if our kingdom still stands or if it had been destroyed in the war. We were all trapped in the volcano together and it was not until days before your fall that we were able to see each other. We had all been trapped in different sections of the volcano, but the rumbles of activity opened the walls. I was in the process of busting the top layer with my fist when you fell through it,” I said as I paused once more.
“While it would make sense as to why you were in there, I am having a hard time believing your story, Mishal. I just do not think dragons exist,” she said.
I knew that would be the answer I got from her, but I had hoped that it might be something different.
“I understand, June. That is my story and I hope that one day you will be able to believe it,” I said leaning in to kiss her.
Just as our lips began to touch, the door flew open and Danol stood in the doorway.
“What the hell is going on here?” he demanded. “This human tramp is not going to be good for the kingdom Sire. You must stop this foolishness at once!” he exclaimed.
Anger filled me instantly and I jumped from the bed pushing him against the wall. “You will not speak of her in that manner, do I make myself clear, servant?” I bellowed.
“I understand perfectly. That wench’s pussy already has a grip on you. Kyal will be so happy to hear this,” he threatened.
“Go ahead and tell him Danol, it will not do a damn thing. Who I fuck has nothing to do with my ability to be king and as I have told you before, she is more than just a good piece of ass. The woman you are referring to will one day be my queen and you will treat her as such or you can leave,” I said, making sure there was a good distance between him and June.
I knew deep down that he was making a big deal of it because he wanted her for himself. Danol had never mated and his time was coming short before he would have no choice but to mate or risk dying. I knew he was scared at the prospect of that happening, but I was not about to let him take June from me. I released him and backed away from the wall and he quickly left the room.
I turned to see June sitting up with the sheet wrapped around her nakedness. I expected to find her falling to pieces at the exchange that had occurred, but instead I found her as if nothing had happened.
“Are you okay, June? I am sorry you had to witness that; I do not know why he was acting that way. He has always been a close friend of mine and I thought he would be happy that I found you,” I said as I wrapped my arms around her.
“You really think I am going to be your queen, don’t you?” She asked.
“I do think that. Is there something wrong with me thinking that or wanting that?” I asked in return.
She shook her head, but I had a feeling she was not buying the things I told her, and I was going to have to show her that dragons were real. That was not something I wanted to do because I remembered the way humans reacted in the past and I did not want to put her through that.
“If you do not believe what I said then I will show you that I speak the truth, but it will be a scary experience for you,” I warned her.
“I do not scare easily, Mishal. You are going to have to show me,” she replied.
“Get up and get your clothes on then,” I told her.
I shook my head and wished I did not have to go through with it as I knew it would scare her despite what she had said. I motioned for her to follow me and I walked outside still completely naked.
“Why did you come outside naked? Should you not put some clothes on? What if there happens to be someone out here and they see you?” She asked.
I grinned at her and shook my head at her modesty. There was no one for miles as she was the only one, I knew that would be stupid enough to entertain a volcano during activity.
“I stayed naked because when I shift with clothes on, they shred and there is no sense in ruining perfectly good clothing,” I told her. “You are going to want to back up several feet, I do not want to hurt you in any way,” I warned.
She backed up and I could feel myself beginning to shift as tendrils of blue smoke billowed from my nostrils and shiny blue scales started to appear on my body. Suddenly, with a loud roar my dragon burst forth as smoke now poured from my nostrils. I looked down at June and she was staring up at me with a look of awe on her face.
I hunkered down so that my head was even with her and she placed a hand on the side of my snout. I could tell she was scared and trying to hide it, but it made me feel good that she was not screaming and running away. I was happy to know that I could trust her when she said she was not the running kind, or she did not scare easily.
“You are beautiful,” she said as she started to fall to the ground.
I caught her in my talons before she reached the ground. Maybe she was not as strong as I thought she was. Maybe she was, only time would tell.

June
I watched as Mishal transitioned into a large looming dragon in front of my eyes. I knew from that mom
ent that everything he had told me was the truth. I wondered what other mythical creatures I had read about in storybooks were real but refrained from asking him. I knew I would not want to know the truth if he told me.
I opened my eyes to find him in human form once again and myself back in his bed. I tried to remember if we had fooled around after he changed but realized that I had fainted.
“Are you all right, my dear?” He asked as he softly caressed my face.
“I am just fine, I promise. It was just a bit of a shock I suppose,” I replied.
“I am sure it was. I do not like shifting in front of humans for that reason, but I had no choice the day you fell. I was not about to let you die,” he confessed.
“Why would you risk exposing yourself for someone you did not even know?” I asked.
“Because, when I saw you through the small crack in the top layer of rock, I knew that you were something special and you needed to be saved,” he said.
I realized in that moment that the man in front of me was someone special even if he was a dragon.
“Now that I have proven to you that I did not lie, I must go and find Kyal and the others and find out about the kingdom. Please do not leave the tree house. There is still so much I want to show you and talk about,” he said as he stood to leave.
“I will not leave until you get back, but I do have to go let the girls I am staying with know that I am alive at some point. I am sure they are worried about me since they have not seen me in days,” I said with a laugh.
