Page 3 of Chasing the Shadow Dragon

“God save me, this is getting interesting. I find I can’t look away.”

“Nor can I,” Princess Gwendolyn breathed.

Satisfied she had their full attention, Astrid focused on the thick, veined shaft in front of her, casting her gaze up her partner’s golden torso as she slowly licked him from balls to sticky tip.

Aureliusz growled and settled back on his tail, widening his stance to give her full access between his bent hind legs. She teased him for a few seconds with slow licks, making sure to caress each sensitive crease before extending her tongue andwrapping it fully around his girth. She gave a smug hum at the grunt of pleasure he made in response.

He always tasted like sunlight, and the flavor hit her tongue now, making her salivate. The slippery fluid from the glands at the back of her throat coated him, easing the slide of her tongue up and down. When she opened her mouth to take him fully between her lips, he rested a claw against the back of her head, rumbling in encouragement.

“I do love how you suck me, little Shadow.”

“I do love to suck you, you great golden beast. Tell me, are they watching? Tell me what they’re doing. I’m only privy to their conversation, not their actions. You are blocking my view.”

“Hmm. If you can tease my balls in that way you do, I’ll tell you what I see.”

She eagerly extended her tongue beyond her mouth and wrapped it around his sac, tickling with her forked tips and pulling gently as she continued to suck. Aureliusz let out another groan of pleasure and began to undulate his hips in time to her slow rhythm.

“They are but watching now. Lord Dominic is flushed, leaning against the tree. His aura is bursting with energy, as is the princess’. They are ripe for the taking, you know.”

“I made a vow to only take willing mates when I ascended from hibernation. But if they see we are not threats, that all we wish for is pleasure, then it will be easier to approach them later in our human forms. Easier to get them used to the idea of mating dragons.”

“They are far from scared of us now.”

Astrid could tell that much from the humans’ conversation. It had devolved from formal language to words laden with suggestion, growing bolder with every second.

“May I be so forward as to ask a personal question, Dominic?” the princess asked.

“I will be your husband by the time the week is out, my love. You may ask me anything you wish.”

“Are . . . are you shaped much like him . . . down there?”

“You are as curious as you are beautiful,” he answered with an amused lilt. “I am very similar in shape, though smooth and not even close in scale. I hope that doesn’t disappoint you when we make love on our wedding night.”

The princess hummed and Astrid could picture her worrying her lower lip again, but she wasn’t quite prepared for her next question.

“May I see you? Or would it be the worst impropriety?”

Dominic coughed, then cleared his throat. “Gwen...I am going to call you that from this moment on because I see this afternoon progressing in a direction I believe we both agree we are enjoying. I have never shared an experience like this with anyone. Witnessing dragons in rut is surely an omen from the gods—proof of the level of passion we can expect in our marriage. As such, I believe we must embrace it. We must take the dragon by the horns, so to speak, and?—”

His speech came to an abrupt halt. Astrid slowed her sucking to the point that Aureliusz let out an impatient growl.

“What are they doing?” she asked. “Why did they stop talking?”

“They are kissing, and the princess looks like she’s unfastening his breeches.”

“I want to watch. Will you fuck me for a little while?”

Aureliusz chuckled.“I’ll happily fill any hole you wish, my dear. Turn around.”

Eager to have a view of the human pair again, Astrid turned, positioning herself on all fours facing the forest. She absently moved her tail aside as Aureliusz shifted behind her, tooabsorbed in the events unfolding in the trees to pay attention to him, yet confident he would satisfy her. They’d been having these little trysts for months now and had begun to take their pleasure for granted, despite the thrill of the chase she took him on every time.

Today’s turn of events was more thrilling than ever. Dominic and Gwendolyn were indeed kissing passionately while Gwendolyn’s fingers worked madly to unlace his breeches. His erection pressed taut against the snug fabric, the ridge extending fully out to his hipbone. He was large for a human, which was all the better, and Astrid’s core flooded hotter in anticipation of the reveal.

The pair pulled away from their kiss just as the princess reached inside and gripped him by the base. She let out a soft gasp and looked down, eyes widening as she slipped his thick erection from his breeches.

At that very moment, Aureliusz pressed his hot tip to Astrid’s opening and pushed inside, his flared shaft stretching her until the thickest part was seated deep. Astrid couldn’t help but emit a low, keening cry at the pleasure of being filled so thoroughly, and Dominic’s gaze shot to her at the sound.
