Dragon Born 1: The Shifter's Hoard

by Dante King

  Chapter 16

  “You’re kidding. I have to wear that!?” I asked in disbelief.

  Soojin glanced at the garment she’d just finished unzipping. It lay across Carli’s mattress, while the woman herself could be heard humming from the bathroom as she got herself ready for the Council of Wand & Claw.

  “The dress code for Councils is extremely formal,” Soojin explained, her brows furrowing together. “It’s not exactly a button down and jeans affair…”

  I knew that. I figured I couldn’t walk into the upper echelon of supernatural society looking like a slob—I wasn’t that much of a rube. But the duds Soojin had picked out for me looked like something out of a 1940’s crime movie. Frank Sinatra might have been able to pull it off, but I felt certain I’d look ridiculous.

  “Isn’t there something a little more modern I could wear?” I asked, cocking an eyebrow. “I’m not saying I’ve got to look like James Bond, but this is some pre-Mad Men fashion…”

  Understanding dawned in Soojin’s eyes. “The supernatural world does things a bit differently,” she explained, a mischievous gleam in her eyes. “Trust me, you’ll fit right in wearing this suit. Just put it on—I promise you’re going to love it.”

  Nodding, I took out the suit and started getting dressed. Soojin left me to it, though the bathroom door was still open. I could hear Carli getting her makeup on for the trip to the Council. Even though I hadn’t known her very long, she sounded more excited than I’d heard her before. Except for when we were in bed together, of course.

  By the time I finished getting the suit on, my estimation of it had completely flipped around. I did look good in it—almost like a silent film star or something like that. It would’ve looked a little odd in a modern gathering, but from what Soojin told me, we weren’t heading into anything like that. I took a look at my reflection and whistled, slicking back my hair a bit to really get into the feeling.

  “Damn!” A voice from behind me made me turn. “You look crazy handsome, Derek.”

  My jaw hit the floor. Carli’s outfit got into the spirit as well, except what she had on was a slinky black dress that looked like something a femme fatale would have worn in a film noir. It hugged her curves, showing off a deep expanse of cleavage and wrapping almost all the way down her long, curvaceous legs. A slit in the side revealed she was still wearing her stockings underneath.

  “I take it you like the way I look,” Carli purred with a grin. She turned to the side, and I realized the dress had a V-shaped slit in the back cut deep enough for her tail to sway over her round ass. Holy shit, this girl was the total package.

  “You’re amazing,” I said, putting an arm around her waist. “Damn, Carli, you look so good I could eat you.”

  “Hmm, I’m holding you to that later,” she said with a grin, planting a little nibble on my chin. “Come on, let’s go see how Soojin cleaned up.”

  Soojin was waiting near the stairs. She dressed more conservatively than Carli had, but she wasn’t a slouch. Soojin’s red dress had a wide sash in the middle and a jaunty cap that made her look like a sailor’s girl.

  Soojin and Carli leered at me. It was clear they were both having the same impure thoughts about my outfit. I swallowed hard, ignoring their gazes.

  “So how are we getting to this meeting?” I asked.

  I assumed we weren’t taking Soojin’s sedan, as good camouflage as it would make. I also figured we couldn’t just pop open a portal like my mom.

  The answer lay above ground, just outside the warehouse. Waiting in the alleyway behind the warehouse was a black stretch limousine. A driver in black livery stood next to the passenger seat, opening it as we emerged into the light.

  “All thanks to my benefactor,” Carli explained with a faint smile. “They wouldn’t want us showing up at a Council in anything less than the most stylish option.”

  “Remind me to thank them,” I told Carli. “Once can tell me who they are, of course.”

  “Uh, about that,” Carli said. “I don’t actually know who they are.”

  “Does Soojin know?”

  Carli shook her head. “She’s almost as in the dark as I am, even though she hooked me up with them.”

  “Right,” I said. “Remind me that we should probably have a chat about that at some point.”

  Carli covered her discomfort with a cough. The driver hadn’t noticed at all—he was busy helping Soojin inside. Carli and I entered a few moments later.

  Me and a bunch of friends had rented a limousine for senior prom what felt like a lifetime ago, so it wasn’t my first time inside one. It was, however, the first time I’d been face-to-face with this kind of limo.

  The internals had been subdivided into two different compartments for privacy, with a retractable screen separating them. Couches lined the limo on both sides, with turned-off TVs and bars on either side. Soojin took the compartment next to the driver’s side, while Carli and I sat in the rear. If there was any calculation behind these seating arrangements, I wouldn’t figure it out until later.

  The driver turned around in the front seat with a genial smile and asked me, “Where to, sir?”

  I looked at Carli.

  “The Celesta,” she said to me.

  “The Celesta,” I repeated to the driver.

  “Yes sir.” The driver’s window slid upward, giving the three of us privacy in the limo.

  “What’s the Celesta?” I asked, glancing at Carli. “I kinda feel like I’ve heard that word before…”

  “It’s a casino just outside of town,” Soojin explained, settling herself in her seat. The raven-haired beauty looked in her element within the lap of luxury, completely at ease. “It’s the traditional meeting place of mages and shifters. Every Council happens there, or at a site like it. The casino is actually owned by a consortium of elite mages and shifters, and the profits are split equally between both sides.”

  “Profiting off gambling,” I said, tut-tutting as I reached for one of the bottles along the side of the limo. “What other wickedness will shifters and mages do to make a buck?”

  Carli rolled her eyes. “Like normies are so much better.”

  The city passed us by on either side as the limo pulled onto the highway. The hottest part of the day had just passed, and it looked like nearly everyone in the city was out on the streets. Night would be falling soon, and the Council would begin.

  For a few minutes, the trip passed in silence.

  Soojin yawned and glanced at Carli and me. “I’m going to get some rest.” She gestured at the retractable privacy wall. “But don’t let me stop you two from having fun,” she said with a wink.

  Soojin flipped the switch. A pane of dark glass filled the space between our section of the limo and Soojin’s, sealing us in our own backseat of the vehicle.

  Carli reached out and tapped the glass. “Wow,” the shifter said, impressed. “This company really goes all out. I can’t see or hear them in the front. It’s like we’ve got the car all to ourselves…”

  Now I understood why Soojin had made sure to set the seating arrangements the way they had. I shook my head and snickered, then popped open a bottle of something strong and filled two shot glasses. It was no fairy mead, but I was in the mood to celebrate.

  “To the Council,” I said, and Carli and I clinked glasses. I watched the muscles of her slender throat clench as she swallowed her shot, licking her lips with a satisfied sound.

  “So, we’ve got the place all to ourselves,” the catgirl purred, sliding a hand between my thighs. “What do you want to do?”

  I glanced at the privacy glass. “Uh, Soojin’s getting some rest right there,” I said, looking Carli up and down.

  “Soojin cleaned up the mess we made of the couch last night,” Carli said with a laugh. “I’m pretty sure she’s not going to flinch if she finds out we fucked in the limo on the way to the Council.”

  Not to mention that little wink she gave us… I thought. Whether or not she minded us
fucking in the back, I decided that we should try to keep it down—she was trying to get some rest, after all. She scratches my back, I scratch hers…

  “Let’s try to keep it down,” I told Carli. “It’ll make it feel like we’re teenagers again, sneaking around.”

  “Sounds fun,” Carli agreed with a naughty smirk.

  The shifter unzipped my pants and took out my cock. I was already hard, a big vein throbbing in the side of my shaft as Carli gripped me gently, running her fingers up and down the pulsing member.

  “You know, I kinda owe you an orgasm,” Carli said breezily, stroking me harder. I stifled a groan, knowing it would give us away to the couple on the other side of the glass.

  Carli leaned over with a giggle, pressing her lips against my ear. “You made me cum twice last night, and you only got to fill my pussy up once. Don’t you want to make things even before we get to the Council?”

  I glanced out the window, judging our position in the city. The fact that I could see people outside the windows and they couldn’t see in just made the situation even hotter.

  “How far are we from this casino?” I asked, glancing at Carli’s cleavage. “Twenty minutes?”

  “Far enough,” she said with a giggle, running the palm of her hand down my crown. “Just relax, Derek. Lie back and enjoy yourself. Have another drink and let your girl take care of you…”

  Carli sank to her knees on the floor of the limo, her ass pressed up against the privacy partition. If that glass suddenly became see-through, Soojin would have a front-row seat to Carli’s asshole and mound.

  The shifter wrapped her lips around my shaft eagerly, swallowing me down as the limo sped through the city. She gagged gently around my prick, swirling her tongue along the sensitive spot on the underside of my crown and deep to my balls.

  I rubbed her cat’s ears as I took another sip of my drink, feeling like the king of the fucking world.

  “Good girl,” I told her, watching with pride as her eyes rolled back in her head at the compliment. “Take me all the way down. You’ve got to earn that load.”

  Boy did she ever earn it.

  Carli sucked me like she was born to give head, like she’d never even heard of the words gag reflex. All her former posturing proved to be for show—she didn’t need to gag as she took me hilt-deep down her throat, her head bobbing up and down like a cork in my lap.

  “I’m not gonna last long,” I warned her, my fingers tightening in her hair. “I’ll tell you when I’m getting ready to blow…”

  Carli winked and pulled back off me, my cock leaving her mouth with a wet little pop.

  “Just do it,” she giggled, licking her lips. “Believe me, I’ll feel it. Just fill my mouth up as soon as you want to, Derek—don’t hold back, just pump me full…”

  I could do that. Fuck, I could do that just fine.

  As Carli worked me toward the edge with her mouth, the limo pulled off the highway. Apparently, there was some road work ahead and we needed to take a detour, moving right through the commercial district of the city. I saw restaurants and cafes outside the window, people going about their day mere feet away from me with no idea there was a catgirl on her knees sucking my dick for all she was worth.

  The limo pulled to a stop at a stoplight. A cute blonde jogger ran by, stopping at the light and jogging in place. Skin-tight yoga pants hugged her curves, with a tight athletic top constraining her huge tits.

  She looked right at me through the glass. She couldn’t see me, of course—all she saw was the vehicle and what it represented. Power, privilege, class.

  The jogger bit her lip, as if imagining what it would be like to travel in such style. At that moment, with her feet away from me, I grabbed hold of the back of Carli’s head and erupted, my cock jerking in her throat as orgasm washed over me.

  As we pulled away from the light, Carli swallowed eagerly, drinking down my load. The world blurred as I upthrust into her mouth, the jogger and Carli and Soojin all getting mixed up in my head as thick ropes of seed sprayed from my cockhead.

  As my flow began to ebb, Carli cleaned me off and planted a kiss on my crown. “Soojin would kill me if she found out I swallowed all that,” she confessed, giving me a naughty wink. “You’ll fuck me, though, right? Cum in me raw, so I can tell Sooj we fucked?”

  Was this more of that strange shifter relationship stuff? “I don’t appreciate being used,” I teased Carli through the haze of pleasure.

  “Of course you do,” she giggled, climbing into my lap.

  Carli hiked up her skirt, revealing that while she still wore her garter belt and stockings, she had no panties on beneath her dress. Her mound was freshly shaved, the lips of her sex swollen with need.

  I reached out and stroked her, watching her legs tremble. “Fuck,” I whispered, overcome with the beauty of this shameless, gorgeous shifter.

  “I’m not just using you for your seed,” Carli whispered, nibbling my earlobe. “I like you, Derek. Fuck, it actually scares me how much I like you. I don’t usually fall for guys this fast, you know?”

  “Me neither,” I said, gripping her bare ass beneath her skirt. “For girls, though.”

  Carli ground her hips against my lap, a string of precum connecting the head of my cock to the lip of her labia.

  “Soojin knows her shit,” the shifter whispered, glancing over her shoulder like the apothecary could see us through the glass. “She thinks this is a good match, and fuck—the more time I spend with you, Derek, the more I think she’s right. I really, really like you, dude. Even if you do still have a bit of normie brain…”

  As she spoke, Carli grabbed my still rock hard cock by the base and ran the crown up and down her slit. It was impossible to not know how wet she was—how eager the shifter was to be fucked. Sucking my dick had gotten Carli wetter than a thunderstorm, and now she needed me to pound her without any protection.

  Fuck, this would be the second time I’d fucked her without a condom. Was I crazy? Or was this just the way things were in the supernatural world?

  Carli could feel my hesitation. “Don’t worry about it,” she said, lowering herself onto me. “If you give me a child, it’ll be another shifter, or even a mage. Do you want that?”

  “I… actually, I think I do.” As crazy as it sounded, I had a desperate desire to impregnate Carli. To pump my seed into her fertile pussy.

  Was that part of the change? Was the Dragon now filling me with this desire?

  Either way, I didn’t care. I wanted to fuck Carli. I wanted to put a baby in her.

  “Just think about how good it’ll feel to be inside me, Derek,” she continued. “How incredible it’ll feel to spray your load deep inside my pussy, right where it belongs. How much of a fucking king you’ll feel like with me on your arm in the Celesta, knowing that my pussy’s still dripping with your cum—”

  Carli’s words broke off in a scream of bliss as I thrust into her. At the same time, I grabbed her hips with both hands, using the leverage to bury myself as deep as I could inside of that perfect tightness. Carli’s head hit the ceiling of the limo, and she laughed, the humor mixing with the pain and pleasure to form an intoxicating, irresistible combination.

  As we pulled out of the city entirely, I realized I needed to fuck Carli hard and fast.

  And that’s just what we did.

  Her hands gripped the headrest behind me as we fucked, her eyes rolling back in her head as she bounced up and down in my lap. There wasn’t time for complicated foreplay or fancy tricks—just hard, primal fucking.

  “Turn around,” I told her, speaking with the same commanding voice I’d used when Carli was tied up. “I want to finish in you from behind.”

  “Yes, sir,” she whimpered, as submissive as she could be.

  Carli faced the back windshield, watching the cars trailing ours along the highway as I thrust into her roughly from behind.

  I braced my feet on the privacy partition, no longer caring if Soojin heard the telltale squea
ks letting her know what was happening on our side. The only thing that mattered was burying myself as hard and deep as I could inside of Carli—like I wanted to fuck her throat from the other side.

  Her attempt to equalize our orgasms failed. I felt the shifter come beneath me twice as I pummelled her pussy: the first time, she had to shove a hand in her mouth to keep from screaming with the pleasure of it. The second, I felt it coming and placed my own hand over her mouth, pinning her to the backseat and loving every minute of it.

  I felt so dominant. So in control.

  That look she’d given me last night came back with a vengeance. Carli fucked me back like I owned her, like she was my woman and I was her man. The trappings of civilization fell away—at heart, we were two beasts in the jungle, mating for life.

  Carli spread her legs wide to let me go even deeper, giving me the perfect angle to thrust all the way to the bottom of her pussy.

  “I’m yours,” Carli whimpered, something inside of her breaking. “I’m yours and I’ll be yours forever, sir! Oh fuck, can’t you feel how you own me!?”

  I could. Again, this wasn’t love—that would come later, although if I was being honest with myself, I’d already felt its first stirrings toward Carli and Soojin. This was primal. This was me marking Carli’s soul, becoming one with her forever in a way men and women had been doing since the beginning of time.

  One more hard thrust was all it took to hit the edge. Carli and I came apart at the same moment, each of us hitting the peak as my cock jerked and spurted inside of her. From the amount I shot, it was as if she’d never given me head at all—I shot again and again, like I’d been pent up for weeks. Almost as if my body knew I was trying to fertilize her, like my muscles did everything they could to breed Carli’s pussy.

  As I came down from my peak, the shifter refused to let me go. She grunted and shook her head, thrusting herself back on me harder to get my cock all the way in. Carli was intent on not wasting a drop—and after a moment, I realized I felt the same way.

  “Good girl,” I said, stroking the side of her head. She looked so pretty in her fancy clothes, with my load filling her pussy to the brim and then some. “Such a good girl. You took my cock so well.”
