”This world really is a different kind of place,” Byron said, nodding.
A few minutes later, the waitress brought us lunch, and a few minutes after that, she served the two guys from the Jeep.We talked about how Tellus had men, both human and Scaler, who felt the kind of attraction that the guys from the jeep had.The two of them were probably a couple and not interested in anyone but each other anyway.Neither Elliot nor Cade nor Byron had ever experimented with other males, though many men and women in both worlds were known to do that kind of exploring.My three guys all agreed that being with humans wasenough of an “exploration” for them and they were happy with it, as I was more than happy with them.

Then I drove us home, where Nana had a surprise waiting for us.
Out on our deck there was a hatch in the floor, under a rug.When the hatch was opened, out popped a fire pit, like a smaller version of the fire pit at the entrance of the History Museum in Pendrake City, Tellus.When we returned from our drive, we found that Nana had lit the fire pit, put a steel rack and some aluminum foil over it, and was roasting steaks for dinner.Other than sex, there were very few things as exciting to Scaler men as a big meal of roasted meat.
So, in the soft golden hours of the late afternoon and the purples and indigos of the early evening, we sat out on the deck with Nana, enjoying the beautiful meal she’d prepared for us and Nana grew more and more comfortable with Cade, Byron and Elliot, and I grew to appreciate better and better how quickly they had made themselves at home on Earth, with me.
We cleaned up after dinner and Nana once again excused herself to go up to bed.The guys stood up like gentlemen for her as I escorted my grandmother back inside.But before we left, she turned around and looked at them in an almost maternal sort of way, and said to them, “You know, I find I don’t much care what else you are.You’re very nice boys.”I watched the way the three of them reacted to that, the soft little smiles that they wore and the way they nodded their heads at her words.They were very much like young human males responding to kindness and affection.My heart melted a little to see it.
A short time later I came back down to the deck to find them stripped naked, waiting for me, and it made me laughbecause I knew that in that moment with Nana, as sweet as they were for her, they only looked innocent.

The place was called Precipice Point.It jutted out at the top of a cliff over Sunbeam Canyon, through which a babbling creek twisted like a silvery blue serpent—which was fitting, in a way, for the company that I brought up there the next day.What better sight for three men who were dragons to look out on than a sparkling serpent of water?They should feel even more at home.
The rim of the point had very thick and sturdy steel railings that ran in both directions from where we stood on the hiking trail.Elliot, Cade, Byron, and I had not hiked all the way up; we left Daddy’s car in a little parking area of dirt and pine cones just a short walk down the hillside.We stood together near the guard rails and looked out on Sunbeam Canyon and the face of the cliff opposite us; the trees at the forest’s edge surrounding the open area where we stood, while on the other side more trees marked the edge of another stretch of forest and beyond the other cliff face rose the peaks of mighty mountains cutting an edge of green and white across the California sky.
My plan for today hinged on one thing.There was a forest ranger that Daddy and Uncle Neal knew.Uncle Neal was close to him; they’d gone to school together.I asked him for a very special favor, which he did only because it was me asking.Once we started up the country road through the forested hillside leading to the Point, our ranger friend put up a roadblock behind us, closing off the road for any other traffic.It was selfish, I knew.It would deprive anyone else of enjoying Precipice Point for a few hours.But I couldn’t have anyone coming up onto the Point with us to see what I’d be enjoying during my visit.
“I haven’t been up here,” I told them, “since Daddy and I came up to look at the Perseids Meteor Shower the summer after I graduated high school.Daddy and I, and sometimes Uncle Neal, would come up here all the time, just to look up at the sky at night.They gave me my first astronomy lessons here.”Elliot stood at one side of me, Byron and Cade at the other.They were all shirtless already, of course.I glanced side to side at them and said, a little wistfully in the memory of my girlhood, “This is one of the places I first learned to love science.”
”Well,” said Byron, “we can help you make some other memories up here now.”And he and Cade glanced meaningfully back at me.
Elliot, at my other side, gave me the same look, smiling quietly in a way as to tell me exactly what was on his mind.
“We’ll have something to eat first,” I said, looking behind me now to the place on the grass where we’d left the picnic baskets and blankets.“Come on.”
We sat together on the blankets and tore through everything that Nana and I had packed.I talked about Daddy’s interest in bringing the totally clean energy source of the Ambience to Earth to help protect natural places like this, which were so often threatened by human industry and how short-sighted humans can be.My frustrations and uncertainties about my father meant he was never far from my mind.The guys repeated their promise to help me find him when we got back to Tellus.I never imagined I’d ever be up here with anyone like them.My memories of times spent up here with Daddy and Uncle Neal began to move aside to make room for what would be the new, happy memory of a day spent with my three favorite people in the world—any world.
After we finished the apple pie slices, Elliot, sitting nearest me, reached over and began to undo my top, one button at a time.He was just about to slip his nimble fingers in and find the front fastener on my bra when I touched his hand.He stopped, his eyebrows drooping in the most childlike, disappointed way, and I reminded him, “What was the plan for right after we ate?”
”She’s right,” said Byron, though he and Cade had similar looks of their own.“We promised something first.”
Elliot took his hand away and grunted softly.“Okay, you’re right.We did have a plan.Let’s load the car back up.”
So, we rolled the blankets up and put all the used utensils and napkins into the baskets, and hauled everything back to the car.We put the picnic things in the trunk.My denim jacket was on one of the back seats; I took it and put it on.Then we went back up to the Point and its majestic view of cliff face, forest, and mountains, and while I admired it a little more, the guys gave me something to admire by slipping off their boots and trousers until each of them was dressed in nothing but thongs that left them bare-assed with very full pouches at the crotch.
”Are we ready now?” Elliot asked.
I smiled broadly, admiring the view at the Point even more than I did the view across Sunbeam Canyon.“Ready,” I said.
And I watched my three super-studly human guys transform into three strong, proud, two-legged dragons, with wings and tails unfurling.
Holding out a clawed hand on an arm with glistening scales, Elliot said, “Let’s fly.”I let him gather me into his powerful dragon arms and carry me to the guard rails, with Cade and Byron at his side.Their wings beat mightily at the air and made awesome whooshing noises, and I wrapped my arms around Elliot’s dragon neck.In a second, we rose from the grass,and in another second, we climbed swiftly into the air over the canyon.The wind blew against my face and through my hair, and my dragon guys let out screeching bellows, making me think of how the prehistoric Pterosaurs must have sounded when they took flight.Seconds later I found myself looking down at a view that I’d seen so many times, in a way I’d never seen it.The tops of the trees were now beneath me, and the winding snake of the creek was now directly below me.I was flying over Sunbeam Canyon.
It was like being on the rollercoaster at Knott’s Berry Farm, but without the rumble of the wheels along the tracks while the car zoomed up and down.This was a different kind of zoom—faster and higher and even more fun.Elliot had carried me in flight before, but never through skies that I had looked into from the ground as a girl.I was experiencing something I’d known all my life, but for the first time.I was an innocent when I used to look up at the space that I was flying through now.I had returned as a woman, growing wiser than I was, but still filled with wonder.Zooming through this sky in Elliot’s arms was like another loss of virginity, one that I welcomed with whoops and laughs that carried out into the wind over the treetops and sailed away as if I’d tossed it onto the shining waters of the Sunbeam Canyon Creek.
The three of them climbed high above the cliffs, and as Elliot’s wings beat hard to gain altitude, I felt perfectly safe with his scaly, muscular arms around me.I could never come to any harm with him.I could totally trust him.He sent the proud noise of his dragon bellow into the air as we rose towards the clouds and then, as fast as we’d flown up, we leveled off, and I found myself between the stretch of endless blue sky above me and a spreading carpet of green treetops below me.The creek was now a silver thread, twisting its way through the green expanse.Elliot and the guys caught a thermal pocket in the air,and they stopped beating their wings and just stretched them out wide, soaring along like gliders.We were wrapped in the most amazing, serene silence.It seemed so tranquil up here.Even the galloping beat of my heart slowed down.Gliding along, we all seemed like a part of the sky.We could have just hung there forever, or so it seemed.I gazed out and across the way and smiled at the sight of Byron and Cade, wings outstretched, tails extended, looking like two big, scaly, long-necked, leathery-winged kites, meandering through the sky with us.My three dragons were masters of the air.
After how long I didn’t know, I felt a new surge of power in Elliot’s muscles.His wings beat again, and he angled his neck back down towards the sea of treetops.The pounding of his wings and the thrashing of his tail took us below once again.The treetops became a rolling blur of green until Elliot got lower and I could once again see the tree line and the faces of the cliffs.His wing beats slowed us down and we went into another glide over the landscape of the tops of the cliffs until we swooped over where we’d left the blankets in the grass, and Elliot put us into a hover and a slow descent.Byron and Cade touched down near us.My heart had sped up again, but it slowed with Elliot setting me down on the blankets and the feeling of the ground under my feet.But I had a new rush of excitement when my three dragons morphed themselves quickly back to human and whipped off their thongs.Suddenly I was a clothed woman surrounded by three spectacularly naked guys.Now it was time for what Daddy and Uncle Neal’s ranger friend had helped us make sure no one else would see.
I didn’t stay clothed for long.Byron took my jacket off.Cade went for my top and got it undone.Elliot got my jeans open and peeled them down my thighs, and eased me down on my back onto the blankets.He got my jeans and sneakers off and tossed them away.He quickly removed my top andbra, then slipped my panties down my legs, discarding them as well.Now I was on my back and he was on his knees, his erect cock angled at me.My dominant, demanding, but sweet dragon athlete wasn’t going to wait another second for what he loved to do best.Quivering with arousal, I submitted to him as I always did and always would, and watched Byron and Cade dropping to their knees on the blankets, awaiting my submission to them as well.Grinning with the sweet lust that I knew and loved so well, Elliot parted my thighs and lowered his face between them, and I thrilled to the lapping wetness of his tongue as he began to eat my pussy.
As Elliot worked with his mouth at my sex, Cade on one side of me and Byron on the other each took one of my breasts and began to play with it, squeezing me and licking and sucking my nipples.I was now bathed in the combined warmth of sunshine and sex.
