Elocci panted slightly as he beat his wings rapidly in the wake of the larger dragon ahead of him, Chya had the wing spread to easily power along through the air without having to strain against the winds. He was used to straining to keep up with the other dragon, though he found it disconcerting as he started to stretch out and put on a new burst of speed. The larger pale yellow dragon shifted a little, turning his head back to look at his companion with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes as he started to slow his wing beats, reining back to allow Elocci enough time to properly catch up to him.

He sighed out in relief and let himself slow his wings with some relief, peering down at the ground beneath them that was whipping by them. The dark purple-blue dragon had never been one to move swiftly on the air, but he tried his best. Chya was at least willing to adapt to him when he realized what he was doing, which was better than when they had been quite young. The pale yellow-gold dragon had no worries that Elocci would ever put on enough size on to rival his friend, which kept them from becoming natural rivals even when they reached an age that they might have gone after the same dragoness.

That didn’t stop him from feeling a mixture of irritation and jealousy when they were out and about together, such as now when he was dragged along such as now. Chya had secured a spot in the capital as a chance to be a member of the guard, and he had simply assumed that Elocci wanted to come with him. He had done so with a confidence and dominance that had made the smaller dragon have to agree with him, despite the fact he would have preferred to stay in the comfort of his own lair and devote himself to his studies.

_:You are getting faster, I think. Maybe we can try the higher where the thermals will give you a good bit of speed.: _ Chya commented lazily, parting his jaws in a slight smile.

_:I don’t mind stretching my wings. It’ll get us to the mountains quicker.: _ He responded and tried to give a little reassuring smile, even as he was panting.

:Once we get there, we’ll be alright.:

_ _

:You just are hoping to have a lady come look at those pretty scales of yours and want a mate that is more on her level.: _ Chya teased lightly and turned his head away, looking at their distant destination. _:I’ll be lucky if I even get a glance from a maid.:

_ _

He forced a smile on his face, but it was an effort as he narrowed his eyes against the wind. He kept his temper from surging at the comment from the dragon, the edge of pity that Chya offered him always irritated him, but it was an old irritation. They had grown up together, the pair of them both raised as orphans thanks to a war that had ripped through their old home. They hadn’t lacked for a caring ‘family’, dragons always made sure orphans were raised with an abundance of adults to care for them, but they had been pushed together very like siblings.

Chya’s larger size and bolder personality had made him stand out, as they grew older, it had been easier to slide into the shadow of the drake rather than trying to stand out. It was only as they grew older that his irritation started to come to a head as the compliments grew more plainly patronizing. Just because he didn’t have the weight to be put into the guard or take on other roles, didn’t mean he needed the other dragon to continually treat him as if he couldn’t manage on his own.

He was the one that should have been a success, he was showy looking and intelligent, he had learned several different tongues beyond simply dragon. He hadn’t even needed a human to sort out those languages, he was a prize that should have been courted by the higher court dragons to join their households, but he found himself struggling on the outskirts while Chya could look forward to joining some sort of guard with his size. Elocci snorted out a breath before he finally slipped down under the larger dragon and began to circle.

:I’m going to take a break.: _ He said finally, decisively. _:My wings are starting to ache trying to keep up with you.:

_ _

_:If you don’t try and stretch your wings, you’ll never build up speed.: _ Chya rumbled disapprovingly.

_:I don’t need to build up speed, a scholar doesn’t need speed.: _ He snapped out as he angled down to a clearing, wings beating to slow himself before coming to a neat landing.

_:Don’t be like that, you’ll prefer it in a better city, and they have dragon riders at the mountain.: _ Chya said with a little wheedling tone, very like the one they had used when they were younger.

_:And you’re dragging me along like I’m just another piece of property.: _ Elocci couldn’t help himself when he snapped back, regretting it almost instantly.

The pale gold dragon let out a low hissing sound behind him and came to a showier landing as the purple-blue dragon folded his wings against the curve of his back. He was only a few feet shorter at the shoulder than his foster-brother, but he wasn’t the smallest grown dragon he had ever seen. He just felt that way when he was standing in the longer shadow, so he stepped away and padded to the small stream so that he could dunk his head down to begin to swallow mouthfuls of water, letting himself catch his breath.

Riders. Chya had been infatuated by the dragons that possessed humans most of their younger days, frequently boasting that he would have his chance to have one. Not that either of them would be able to be presented to a human ready to bond, they didn’t have the money or the status to earn that right, but that didn’t stop his foster brother from trying to try and find a work around. He had a feeling that was the real reason they were going to one of the larger cities, his hope that a human would come toddling up to take him as a dragon.

He had made peace early on that he wasn’t going to end up having a rider of his own, he didn’t see why Chya insisted on being infatuated with the idea. His interest in humans strange and intense while Elocci fixated more on finding a role that would allow him to have a comfortable life. Being a scholar would help with that, it made him valuable and set him up to have some level of comfort and wealth. The more he specialized, the more highly he would be sought after, but he would need to do it on his own, not be dragged around by his foster brother like he was luggage.

:Why don’t you go and get something to eat? We can continue on once I’ve had a break.: _ He said stiffly and curled his tail around his forelegs lightly before pushing his nose through a few rocks to get at the deeper water _:We’ll still make good time.:

_ _

:Alright, I suppose.: Chya growled and shrugged one of his wings, leaving Elocci to sigh out a little in relief. ‘

“STOP! You’re breaking up the dam!” The voice caused both of them to freeze as the sound reached ears and mind both, a heart beat before a small human came out from a shelter that had been hidden by the trees. “I worked hard on that!”

_:What the fire is that?: _ Elocci hissed out and flattened his wings down against his back tightly.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Neeta ignored the feel of the pair of eyes on her as she stepped out of her home and felt a little twinge of fear through her anger as she stormed up to the creek that she had recently dammed up. Seeing the pair of dragons appear had been a shock, they didn’t often come this far out, but seeing the way the smaller of the pair stepped into the creek and began to push the rocks out of the way had roused her to anger. She had spent an entire day working to block of the creek and create an area she could bathe and relax in. Both dragons watched her as she stormed up to the smaller one and tried to give him a shove, but he barely moved as he blinked rapidly and snorted before taking a step backwards.

The bigger of the pair loomed above her, the yellow-gold head dappled with markings as he tipped his head almost comically all the way upside down and gave a little sniff. Neeta took a step back and then moved around them, having to take quite a few steps to pass by their bulk and looked at the ruin of the dam that she had so carefully built. Most of it was crumbled away, the water carrying away the smaller rocks, while the bigger were mounded up uselessly together and cast to one side.

:I apologize for my brother, he didn’t realize that was on purpose.: _ The bigger dragon said, his head lowering even further. _:I can help you build it back up again.:

_ _

“That’s fine.” She snapped, frowning a bit more as she began to push the bigger rocks to the side, wading into the cold water all the way up to her knees. “You need to be more careful.”

:I didn’t realize there was a human out here.: _ The smaller said and lowered his head a bit contritely. _:Here, I can help you. I thought this part of the foothills were deserted.:

_ _

“They used to be.” She answered and let the smaller dragon reached down with a paw to drag out some of the larger pieces. “I didn’t think dragons would come tromping through here.”

She waded further into the water as she worked and the dragon kept trying to gather up the rocks, though he remained looming above her as the paler colored dragon sniffed towards her curiously. They were young dragons, not yet boasting the length of horns that were the hallmark of an adult, but still big enough to cause her problems. The entire reason that she had settled here was because it was an out of the way area, far enough away from the normal hustle and bustle that she had grown up with that she felt she had finally found some peace.

It wasn’t that she disliked the dragons, she simply found that being around them was overwhelming, especially given that they had begun to enlarge their city. It had become overly loud, especially for someone sensitive to mind voices. Unlike real voices, she couldn’t just close a door on the mind voices, they had been a constant to her to the point that her last few weeks there she hadn’t been able to sleep. Even now she could feel their minds pressing against her own, their confusion and interest in seeing her, the smaller ones embarrassed irritation at having been yelled at.

It made her want to get them away and quickly, the last thing she wanted was to spend the day with the dragons’ thoughts making it hard for her to think her own thoughts. By the time she had left, she had found herself struggling to peel her own mind away from the dragons that were around her. Her ancestors had been descended from the first riders, her mind trained to reach out for them, to bond with them, which only made it harder for her to maintain her own sense of self, so she had left before they had presented her with young dragons ready to take on a rider.

_And now they just happen to find me. _ She thought with a grimace, doing her best to school her expression into something that was a little more neutral.

:You live here?: _ The bigger one said and moved a little into view, his thoughts filled with interest that went beyond the idle question. _:Alone?:

_ _

“That’s not really your business.” She muttered before sighing and stepping out of the creek. “Now that you’ve destroyed my dam, you should probably leave and get to where you were going.”

:But I haven’t finished helping you. I’m Elocci, this is my foster brother Chya.: _ The smaller dragon said and she could feel his interest in getting closer to her. _:My brother is eager to continue on, but I can stay to help you rebuild your dam. It would be my plelasure.:

_ _

“I’ll be fine, please, I’d prefer just to be left alone to fix it.” Neeta said with a little flinch, doing her best to sound firm as the dragons moved around her.

The smaller of the pair withdrew with a little flick of his tail, his nostrils flaring while he gave a small snuff towards her. She ignored him, instead, she turned around and started to shake off her feet from the stream and put the water between herself and the two watching dragons. She just had to get them on her way, and then she’d go back to setting up her own little slice of heaven. And try not to feel their sharpened interest in seeing an unbonded young female out on her own. At least they didn’t have the markings of a higher noble, they would be easy to get rid of.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Several days later

~ ~ * ~ ~

Chya watched Neeta with a surge of pleasure and anticipation as he picked up the raw gold nuggets in his mouth and padded up beside her as she did her best to ignore him. The young woman was always doing her best to ignore them when he or his brother appeared, but he didn’t let that try and dissuade him, not when he knew from the bottom of his heart that he was going to be able to have a human rider of his own if he could only win her regard over to him. The pale gold dragon curved his neck and let out a low croon when she continued to ignore him and he leaned down to nose her with the length of his muzzle.

_:I’ve brought you something for your home.: _ He announced with a little curve of his neck, moving his way in front of her to stop her from walking away.

“I have work to do.” Neeta protested, her voice a little harsh as she glanced up at him and he felt her resignation.

He had never imagined seeing a young human of bondable age for himself unless it was at the ceremony, but the fact that they had found one just a days flight from their new home was fate. Elocci had told him that it was clear the female wanted to be left alone, but he knew that it was possible for a human to bond with a dragon even beyond the ceremony if they could be won over and were willing to listen to the thoughts of a dragon. It was his dream to one day take a step into the same life that his father had had before the wars.

He was born to be a dragon bonded with a human, he knew it, he had grown up listening to his father’s rider and watching the pair of them together. He had even hoped that she would have a baby that would one day be offered to him, but that was before everything had fallen apart. He shifted and lashed his tail lightly against the ground while he shied away from the thoughts of his shattered life and then moved so that he could drop his head right in front of Neeta and opened his jaws to present the raw gold to her. _ _

_ _

:I’ve brought you some gold, I know that you humans enjoy the color and this hasn’t been worked yet, so you can make whatever you want.: _ He offered with a little preen of delight. _:I noticed that your home is very drab.:

_ _

“Because I’m trying to be hard to find.” Neeta answered, but she was looking at the gold dropped to the ground. “That’s… quite a lot, though.”

_:I’m very good at finding it. I would be happy to bring you more.: _ Chya bragged and swelled his chest, spreading his wings to help make himself appear larger, more impressive.

“I won’t put you out, but thank you for this.” She said and looked up at him, her eyes moving immediately away as he began to position himself to better display himself.

He knew he was impressive of body, he was larger and heavier than his brother, which was a point in his favor when he knew very well that Elocci had been trying to court the human as well. Just thinking about it made his paws tense with the urge to claw at the ground, but he made sure that he kept himself looking pleased, polite, interested while he followed Neeta back to her home. His foster brother had been showing up as well, too often, cunningly bringing with him books and scrolls, fabrics that he knew that she would like.

Even thinking about his brother made his eyes slide to the shade where Elocci was sprawled out on a stone with every evidence of being asleep. He wasn’t, Chya knew that he was awake and deliberately posing himself so that the sun would strike his vibrant blue-purple scales and attract the eyes. His scales had been recently polished, he noticed, and he had a feeling that Neeta had been the one to help him polish them. He had told Chya outright that the human didn’t mind to grooming him when he wasn’t so large to require an entire day to clean and polish.

He felt a twinge of real jealousy at the idea of a human touching him, caressing him. He had been fascinated with humans since he had been young enough to understand just what sort of games his father played with his rider. Humans were soft and supple, they were arousing and there was no greater pleasure in the world than having one that was devoted to them, ready and willing to play the role of a dragoness with him. The sight of Neeta made all of those urges come back, making it harder for him to contemplate actually failing in trying to attract her attention.

_Elocci doesn’t even really want her, he just wants to be better at me in something. _

He thought with a low hiss of anger bubbling out.

_:Show off.: _ He growled under his breath towards his brother, narrowing his eyes as one of Elocci’s opened to look at him.

:Did your bribe not get you an instant bond?: _ His brother drawled out and opened his other eye. _:Perhaps you don’t know as much about humans as you pretend too.:

_ _

_:You’d better get more shut eye, it sounds like you’re delusional.: _ He growled out and continued after Neeta, refusing to get drawn into a fight with his brother.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Elocci let his brother dance attendance on the human most of the day, fetching her things, trying to get her to notice him. Chya was clumsy in his attempts, trying to buy her affection more than anything else, when he knew that he could use his intelligence to win her attention. He made sure that when he brought her gifts, they were things that were worthy of attention, things that she couldn’t get on her own. He had even gone so far as to approach the unpaired humans in their new home to ask them what they might enjoy and made sure that he was offering it.

He watched Chya for most of the day trying to get something more out of Neeta than just acceptance and was pleased when there was nothing more than polite answers from her. The human was interesting, she was perceptive and obviously knew what she wanted, which was why she had to have left the dragons. He took that and ran with it, feeling as if he were going to come out on top for the first time since he had met the big pale gold dragon. His attractive scales, his intelligence, his cunning, they made for the ideal partner for the human.

It was late in the afternoon when he bothered to move, and only then when he noticed that Neeta was beginning to get a little irritated with the way Chya kept sticking his snout into what she was doing. It was nearly the time for him to take up his post as a guard, which put it as the perfect time for him to stand up. He made a show of stretching and looking mild, relaxed, his wings parted slightly as he approached the pair while Chya was attempting to poke his head directly into the human’s house.

_:I was thinking, I might be able to get you better meat, something delicious.: _ He was saying even as Neeta sucked in a breath and then yelped.

“Please be careful! I just made that table!” She cried out before there was a crashing sound.

:Chya, what on earth are you doing?: _ He asked with an edge to his mind voice, reaching out to tap the pale gold shoulder. _:You are making more problems for the girl.:

_ _

_:I was going to help.: _ Chya answered defensively, and Elocci only let out a low rumbling laugh.

_:I think she is alright on her own, it’s nearly time for you to go on guard, aren’t you?: _ He said and tipped his head so that he was facing the flustered looking Neeta.

“It’s alright, Chya, you’ve just got such a large head that my house isn’t made for you.” The human answered when the larger drake drooped a little bit, his head lowering.

_:Well, tomorrow I will bring you some fresh meat, maybe some of those big salmon that are running in the White Fall River.: _ The gold drake said with a little flick of his wings, trying to sound good natured and up beat.

Elocci smirked a little bit as he settled onto his haunches and made a show of not planning on moving as his foster brother set his wings open. He knew that he was preferred by the human, especially since Neeta was quite intelligent on her own right. She was inquisitive and constantly asking him questions when he brought her new scrolls and information to look over. It was clear to him who she was better paired with and he allowed that knowledge to show as he rolled his eyes up to watch as the gold dragon took off with a final look back over his shoulder.

Why should she want some over large guard? Neeta had left her home to get away from dragons like him, she hadn’t been given a chance to meet someone like himself. With that in mind he sprawled out with a stretch, tipping his head back towards the satchel that was sprawled over his haunches. He dug for a little bit and finally pulled out a small leather wrapped tube between two talons before producing it with a large smile at the human.

:Since it’s getting late, I thought that it was time to show you something I found in the old library.: _ Elocci purred, filling his voice with affection and anticipation. _:It’s used to view stars, I thought that so far away from lights, you might enjoy using it to view the sky.:

_ _

“A telescope!” Neeta said and her eyes widened a little bit. “I didn’t think there were any there, a dragon can’t really use it.”

:Well, some riders are scholars to match their dragons, and they have all sorts of tools at their disposal.: _ He replied easily and extended his hand out. _:I would be delighted to see what you can pick up with it.:

_ _

Yes, this was working out just the way he wanted it too, especially given the fact that her eyes were so bright with delight. She never looked at Chya that way, in fact, she mostly dealt with his foster brother with a little bemused tolerance than real pleasure. It was only a matter of time before her walls crashed down and she accepted him, in fact, he could almost feel the press of her mind against his own. He moved in closer as she lifted the telescope up and aimed it at the sky, her sound of happiness making him croon from low in his throat.

He extended out a forepaw for her in invitation to allow her to have a better perch to play with the telescope. Chya would see it himself soon enough, Neeta preferred to be bonded to him and then he would simply make sure that his foster brother felt better about his position as a guard. After all, it was the sort of work that he excelled at, there was hardly a reason for him to be upset that he didn’t end up with a rider. If anything, having a rider would only make his job harder as he tried to keep his human safe.

~ ~ * ~ ~

“You’re back… again?” Neeta said flatly as she stepped out of her house and was once more greeted by the purple-blue dragon posing in the sunlight.

_:Oh I never left, I didn’t know if you’d like to see more stars last night and while waiting, I just fell asleep.: _ Elocci answered with a happy little flick of his tail.

She wasn’t sure exactly how to get rid of the dragons that were pushing their attentions on her over the last few weeks, but they were growing more and more determined to try and forge a connection to her. It was something that was now a constant in her days and she was left trying to ignore the way their minds pressed against her own. Their eagerness annoying in so many ways, and she was starting to wonder if they would ever get tired of trying to bribe her into bonding with them. Eventually they had to give up, but she would have thought that would only take a matter of days, not weeks.

She sighed a little bit and shook her head before stepping out into the warm morning air and turned out to walk her way down along the clearing where she would start her day. Her modest little home had been gradually growing more grand as they continued to bring her items they thought she wanted. Elocci was more eclectic in his tastes, but the more useful items seemed to come from Chya. The most recent had been piles of lumber for her use that could be used to build a new building to house her food and store tools.

She had barely left the view of her house when there was a beating of wings and she glanced up to see the pale gold form of the larger dragon winging in. He was carrying a heavy log between his legs, gripping tightly so that he was able to keep it under control as he tipped his head down and let out a bugling greeting at her and swung his body to one side, able to drop it down only a few feet from her with a loud thud. He panted a little bit as he dropped down to land, his chest swelled out and his eyes bright as he patted the trunk of the tree.

_:Good morning! I found this log and thought you might like it, it has some interesting patterns to the bark.: _ Chya greeted her brightly, nosing the log over so that she could see one side was marked with dark burned streaks as if it had been struck by lightning.

“I think you’ve given me almost too much wood lately.” She said dubiously and then forced a smile. “But thank you for thinking of me.”

_:You are easy to remember.: _ He crooned to her in a deep voice, his mind trying to press against her own and she pulled away from that mental touch.

_I wonder if this is what a dragoness feels like when a pair of males decide to court her. _ She thought ruefully and gave her head a little shake before moving to look at what he’d brought for her.

There were dozens of score marks where he had had to clutch the thing to himself, making it obvious that it had been a labor for him to haul it so far. He had carefully not marked the area where lightning had struck it, leaving the wild twisting pattern in place for her to enjoy. It was a hard cedar with a sweet scent that she enjoyed and she reached out to smooth her hand down against wood as she imagined that she could easily turn it into furniture with a little bit of effort.

“Cedar, I do love the smell of it.” She said with a little smile that made the dragon arch and curve his neck a little bit.

_:I can help you cut it.: _ He offered happily and she resisted the urge to sigh as she did so. _ _

_ _

_They’ll give up eventually… they will have to get a clue. _ Neeta thought and instead just fixed a pleasant expression on her face. She’d get her peace and quiet back soon enough.

~ ~ * ~ ~

He’s beating me, she prefers him. _ Chya thought with a sinking feeling in his stomach as Neeta gave him a forced smile instead of the joy she often showed when she was dealing with Elocci. _He’s not supposed to beat me!

_ _

It had been over a week that they had both been trying their best to attract Neeta’s attention and he had begun to try and take a page from his foster brother’s book and began to bring her more interesting things that would garner more approval from his rival. He was growing desperate as they grew closer and she seemed to prefer to spend time with him more than she did with him. He felt a strange twinge low in his belly, twisting in place while he let out a soft growl in the back of his throat while he watched Neeta go about her morning.

He had been having less and less time with her since they had started this, he had responsibilities where Elocci’s role as a scholar left him ample time to convince the female that she didn’t want Chya. He lashed his tail a little harder behind him as he realized that she was wearing a new necklace, a small gold ring that was patterned with piles of small sapphires. He knew that Elocci must have brought that to her and he narrowed his eyes a little bit with an edge of anger growing. He wasn’t going to win by playing a fair game against his foster brother. He would always be one step in front of him.

His mind threw him the vision of Neeta with her legs wrapped around the base of his foster brother’s neck, holding onto him as they were flying together, bonded together. He could already imagine the way that that his brother would flaunt his new position, eager to move up in the ranks while he was left struggling to work as a guard without any chance to have a rider of his own. He swallowed a lump in his throat, bristling as he followed Neeta down to the clear area that she had been working to clear out for a work shed.

I can’t just let him push me aside, he’s already smarter than me, he will get by in the world with ease, he has the easiest time of things… His eyes narrowed as he watched the sleek human as she worked, greedily following each of her movements. She should be mine…

_ _

She could be his. His stomach tensed up slightly with a roil of anger that began to form, his breathing picked up into something that was a little quicker as he watched the object of his interest. He had been working so hard to try and get her to accept him, but she had only given him the briefest attention. She didn’t spend time talking to him, didn’t do anything that made him feel valued or any indication that she would welcome a bond with him.

She was moving and starting to set out the tools for the day and he curled his tail around his legs as he watched. His eyes were fixated on each way that she adjusted and moved about, the bend of her hips and the swell of her chest. She was beautiful, her short dark hair spiked up very like a crest, her eyes equally as dark and her lips mobile and expressive. She would be wasted on Elocci, he would simply want her as a status symbol, not at all like the bond that he could have with her. They would create something deep and real, something to join their souls together.

There are ways to press a bond… He thought and narrowed his eyes a little bit, his nostrils flaring as he remembered the stories he had heard about dragon’s and their riders, more importantly, what he remembered of his father.

He had been a lusty dragon, his rider equaling his pleasure and desires in a way that had flaunted their physical attraction to one another. His earliest sexual memory was that of seeing his father’s rider pushing onto his oversized cock, the impossible glimpse of her body stretching around the shaft had been something that had stuck with him. Up until a few a years ago he had always imagined that he would be given that chance, he would experience what his father had. And perhaps that was still true, since everything he knew about a dragon-human bond could be founded on sexual attraction.

That was why so many humans picked dragons of vibrant scales, it was attraction that he had no hope of winning given his pattern of pale lemon and gold scaling. That didn’t mean that he couldn’t have Neeta join with him from that point with a bit of cunning. She was lithe and sweet, supple and of more than an age to be bred, he could claim her body and her mind as well in a way that Elocci never would have dared. And rewards came to those that dared, and this would be a gift that she would appreciate a great deal if he was able to gauge by what he had seen in other riders.

~ ~ * ~ ~

_:Let me help you with that, Neeta.: _ Chya offered with a warm purr and his paws reached out to help her move some of the bales of straw that he had gifted her with recently.

The dragon’s mind was flush with energy, a mix of emotions that she wasn’t quite able to sort through as the alien thoughts pressed against her as his attention remained firmly affixed to what she was doing. Not that what she was doing was all that interesting, but she was used to Chya being a strange mixture of thoughts and emotions when he was around her. He was a bit slower than his brother, but that was something that could be pleasant when she didn’t want to answer half a dozen different questions.

She let him move the large bales while he shifted above her, his shadow falling over her as he lowered his head and let out a bit of a snort. His eyes were a deep silver color and they were fixated on her with an intensity that left her feeling strange as he pushed another bale to one side. He cleared the area that she had been hoping to build up into a proper work shed, but instead of moving back, he took another step forward with a deep rumble. His nostrils flared and he moved his head down closer, lowering so far down that his nose was nearly pushing agianst her.

“That’s fine, Chya, thank you.” She said after the dragon refused to move, his muzzle pushing in closer to her. “Hey… I have work to do.”

:We would go well together, you and I.: _ He said, not moving his muzzle as he took another step closer, his thoughts growing stranger, more chaotic. _:You cannot be won with mere trinkets.:

_ _

“I’m not meant to be won at all.” She said stiffly and then let out a noise as the muzzle pushed in with a bit more force against her.

:No, but you can be my rider.: _ Chya growled those words through her mind and pushed her backwards as he moved up onto all fours. _:You were meant to be my rider. Elocci doesn’t really want you, he just wants to best me.:

_ _

“I think I can judge for myself what I want.” Neeta said and then jerked a little bit before he leaned in and parted his jaws, his thoughts turning towards something that made her cheeks suddenly flush. “What are you doing?”

_:You are my human, we were meant to be together.: _ Chya repeated and then shoved his head out, pushing her back as she hit a hay bale with a yelp.

:Lovely, sweet, beautiful, Neeta….:

_ _

Lust. His thoughts were tinged with lust and she felt them pushing through the normal genial eagerness that she had grown used to feeling from him. It startled her even as the dragon moved up and then tipped his muzzle down, pushing against the underside of her shirt and then he let out a hot breath that teased free. The tongue flicked out and she yelped out as the length of it glide right up against her stomach and she tried to shove his head away, her hands pushing out against him as he let out a deeper rumble that vibrated down the line of her belly.

The tongue darted upwards with a push that soon bunched her shirt up as the young dragon moved above her and he began to work his muzzle upwards. The shirt was soon bunched up under her chin as the tongue tip swiped out with a stroke. It pushed over the edges, sweeping with a delicate touch that ran against one of her nipples and caused her to cry out sharply. She jerked a little bit and a heavy paw moved up to hook right against the line of her pants and the talons flexed downwards to catch the edges of it with a forceful yank.

“HEY! CHYA!” She burst out angrily, stiffening a little bit as the breath hit against her and the talon yanked harder against her pants.

:You were meant for me, you know it, you can feel it, how well our minds mesh…: _ Chya pressed, his lust filled voice thick with each word that pushed into her mind. _:We just need to get to know each other.. better…:

_ _

“Through.. what?” Neeta tried to ask and then the tongue pushed down into her pants and she yelped out suddenly.

The dragon spread his wings, shifting his weight with a low noise of pleasure that was growing. She could intimately feel the way his body was beginning to get worked up, his desire something she could nearly feel as he shifted his weight with a small flex of his haunches. As he moved himself, there was a slight bulge along his inner thighs as she saw him adjusting, his tail twitching until something dark purple began to extend out from his vent. The bulge of his cock showing as he hooked his talons harder against her pants and gave a sudden yank.

Neeta tried to get up, twisting to one side before the claws dragged harder against the material and began to peel it entirely off her. His tongue was hot and broad, lavishing out in a stroke that pushed out between her folds and rubbed right up against her pussy until she let out a shocked call. Her body trembled in place, struggling through the sensation of the tongue that was starting to work its way deeper, wedging into her with a smear of slippery saliva that was spreading over her obscenely.

_:You taste sweet and ripe.: _ He answered her before he ripped her pants entirely off and threw them to one side.

His eyes were blazing, the feel of his need was pushing against her own mind so that she was assaulted with the sensations burning over her. She’d felt dragon’s aroused before, but this arousal was fixated entirely on her alone while he shifted his weight. The length of the cock that was pushing out was large and swollen, the heavy tip drooping down as he rolled his eyes up to watch her and then deliberately wedged his tongue into her body. She yelped out in shock, pushing with her hands against his head, kicking out with both legs as he slid the tongue deeper inside of the passage.

Her tender walls started to clench down, the sudden squeeze making her cry out sharply and she pulled backwards, squirming a few inches as he licked with another hot powerful roll of the tongue. The growling breath that came free from the parted jaws made her jolt a little bit in surprised shock. He pushed his tongue in deeper, pushing her harder against the haybale while the drake panted out a heavy breath and then started to draw backwards a few inches, the wet noise loud sounding as she felt her cheeks flushing hotly in embarrassment.

~ ~ * ~ ~

_:You are perfect, lovely… Exactly as I dreamed of from the time that I was a youngster.: _ Chya thought with a wave of heat while he felt the walls gripping down tightly around the length of his tongue.

He let out a guttural sound of pleasure that was burning through his body, making his thoughts begin to slow down into a haze of lust that made it impossible to think straight. She was warm and wriggling beneath his muzzle, her shirt finally slipping all the way free to leave her naked as she let out another short noise of shock. The little push shoved against his head and then he drew his tongue backwards with a messy noise. The trail of juices clung to his taste buds while he closed his eyes and tried to press his mind against her own.

Her alarmed thoughts were growing stranger by the moment, she was struggling to put together a coherent thought and they were falling apart as his tongue explored her lewdly. He ground his cock tip forward against his belly as the heat made him pant slightly before drawing his tongue backwards and then trailed his touch against her inner thigh. The warm sweet scent of the human making him feel slightly dizzy as he rolled his eyes up to watch her as she stared down at him, squirming backwards a few inches and he followed her.

“This is.. you’re not supposed to do this!” She said her voice shaking slightly as he deliberately licked his golden muzzle.

:Only because it would be frowned upon in front of everyone.: _ He said and then nipped her outer thigh playfully. _:But there is no one here to see but us, Elocci is too lazy to follow you to do work.:

_ _

“That’s.. CHYA!” The last word was a yelp as he reached his talons out to grasp her, pulling her beneath him as he reared on his hind legs.

_:Do you really want me to stop?: _ He asked and twisted his head again, his tongue darting out with a sudden push between her thighs.

Those soft scaleless folds were as soft as velvet against his tongue tip and he toyed his touch over them with a slow caress until her body jerked and then trembled in response. He pushed her shoulders down against the haybale, making sure that her hips were lifted up while his tongue flicked upwards and started to probe deep inside of her. The slow movements were spreading the walls wider, straining to the point that he could feel the sudden contraction gripping around him and he felt her body stretching in response.

His cock twitched against his stomach as he imagined those folds with his cock splitting her apart, her body stretched so tight around his shaft that he couldn’t push in any deeper. The thought made him shove his tongue in harder inside of her before running outwards, dragging along the length of the clit with a little dart that made her cry out. Neeta writhed in place and whimpered, her legs spread open wider as she was moving and trying to squirm back even as he wrapped his paws up and around her waist with a powerful squeeze.

_:You see? You know we belong together…: _ He hissed down at her, feeling her thoughts fluttering like a trapped bird against his own.

His human, she was his, the thought thrilled through him as his cock tip started to push forward with a grind that pushed the length of his purple shaft along the length of his cock. His cock tip was starting to grind forward with just enough force to spread her outer lips and he felt the softness wrapping against him. Yes, this was what he craved, what he wanted, she would be his, bound by her body and mind both so that there would be no chance for Elocci steal her away from him. That thought wrapped through his mind even as he began to force his way into her trembling writhing body.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Neeta felt a jolt and then cried out as the dragon yanked her hips up and the bestial length was pushing into her passage with a sudden shove that shocked her. Her handful of times playing with other humans in no way prepared her for the sheer size of the shaft driving home inside of her, the thrust of the hips that were plunging forward into her body. The snap of the hips were pushing with enough force that she felt a jolt run through her body as her muscles ached and clenched down around him. His scaled body pressed down against her, pushing against her chest so that his muzzle was nearly pressing against her.

There was an obscene wet noise, the squelching push started to work through the depths of her passage. The tip was pushing in deeper, spreading her and prodding with a wet gooey spill of precum that began to well out from him and she writhed in place. She tried to squirm free as the talons dug down firmly against her soft skin as he groaned out and she felt his mind alive with an eruption of need. She squirmed her hips backwards a few inches before the next plunge forward jabbed the tip in hard and deep, welling her stomach until she felt a sharp pain twisting through her. “Please..” She choked out raggedly, her eyes squeezing shut before there was a drag backwards.

The glistening purple length began to draw outwards, inches slipping free wetly before he drove forward again, the thrust forcing her hips higher in the air. Neeta let out a guttural cry as there was a thrust that was working through the depths of her passage. Her walls were forced to stretch open tight as he began to grind forward, the scaled body working against her with a little lunge. The hot puffing breath leaned down against her as the young drake groaned out and she squirmed, her legs having to shift to wrap around him when he gave a harder thrust.

The cock tip bottomed out inside of her, pushing up against her cervix and she felt the oozing spill of precum starting to flush in deeper. She whimpered out shallowly as the drake began to give short powerful thrusts, the cock tip grinding hard against her cervix as more of his length remained outside of her body. The force of the thrusts beginning to pry at the rubbery sphincter to begin to stretch her body, the sharp cramp ripped across her as there was another thrust, this time with enough force she let out a squeal and the cock began to shove further.

Her cervix was being split open, beginning to feel the opening swallow down the length of the cock as the inches began to disappear into her smaller body. Her tightening muscles tried to push him back out as Chya groaned out a guttural obscene sound of pleasure before he popped past her cervix and the last few fattened inches shoved home. She felt the base splitting her apart, making the supple walls open up to the point that they were burning as he pushed home with a grind that shoved the line of the scaled vent against her pussy lips.

He held still for a brief moment, the engorged base throbbing faintly before he started to drag backwards again, the yank beginning to split her once more as the girth stirred inside of her. She felt nearly split in half by his length, the stimulating touches leaving her shuddering in place while her hips started to squirm upwards again. There was a little bit of a grind that pushed against the length of the shaft that was throbbing as it slipped backwards, caressing every part of her body, teasing new places inside of her to make her react with small spasms.

The little movements that were running over her made her feel a sharp burn ripping along her lower belly even through the strange sensations of pleasure. She moved her hands up, pressing against the line of the chest as she let out a low whimper, her body squirming in place as the hips began to thrust in short powerful movements. The cock was dragging back and forth, sawing through her as the tip shoved past her cervix at the apex of each thrust, pushing forward with a wet lewd slurping noise.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Chya had never imagined just how good it would feel to have his cock wrapped in the taut walls of the human’s pussy. She could feel the heat of it closing around him tightly, the powerful contractions flexed down around him as his cock tip pushed past the cervix and every last inch of his cock drove home. He forced the walls to stretch around his base and sucked in a breath even as Neeta gave a writhe and squirm in place. The little movements were building up, starting to push against him as she let out helpless noises in the back of her throat. Her body working against him while he snarled out sharply and her thoughts began to cling against his own, reaching for him.

His muzzle parted in a fierce smile as he sped up, his base pulling free again with a messy plunge of the cock tip as the precum flushed deeper into the passage. The walls were tightening down and startled him slightly as he had to put real force into his thrusts to claim her, feeling how the wetness pushed down around his base. She pushed against his chest as he let out a guttural snarl down at her, his eyes narrowed down in his pleasure as he felt her warm soft skinned body pressed up against him, her eyes widening a little bit as he felt her thoughts sliding even closer to his own.

He felt the ache of his cock driving inside of her, the way that she was struggling with the size of him while he started to let out a series of short heavy pants. His tongue lolled out of his parted jaws while he dragged his length nearly halfway free before the next thrust drove home. The force pushed his cock tip deeper into her belly, splitting her until she was letting out a yelping cry. The tightening of the walls worked around his base as he grew heavier, swelling wider so that he was forcing his cock home with short lunges that were soon stretching the walls sharply.

The heat of the passage was clinging to him and he let himself relax further, the intimate sharing rolling through one another. They were starting to make it harder for anything except the building pleasure that came with his cock swelling wider. His base was starting to stretch open wider, prying the walls with a series of little lunges as he had to put more force into his movements. He basked in the way her body was splitting, stretching, the ache of her felt keenly by him and that only made the pleasure that much sharper.

_:My human…: _ He crooned at her, her mind accepting his words as she let out a sudden high pitched squeal as his knot popped home inside of her, making her body split around him.

The taut grip her folds wrapped around his growing length and when he jerked backwards he pulled her ass with him. She was lifted up and he reared a little bit as he felt her walls quivering as they hung along his length. His body was tensed up as his stomach was starting to grow taut and trembling in place as the pleasure began to build and he let himself simply lean into it. Taking it for himself as the human’s high pitched cries were in the backdrop, he felt her pain as keenly as his own as his knot was bulging through her and he began to thrust down into her once more to bloat her slender stomach.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Neeta felt the cock driving home again, the force of it splitting her apart as the knot grew wide enough that he couldn’t pull out. Her pussy grow engorged looking as she was holding onto him, startled to feel the weight of it twitching inside of her as she writhed a little in place. When her hips tucked downwards there was another push that drove through the line of his haunches. He was thrusting hard, dragging at the knot while his paws closed down against her hips and he reared up higher and he panted out a loud breath as her muscles clenched down around him.

The tip was driven deep inside of her belly as the girth started to twitch in place, jerking upwards with a small quiver that sent out a trickle of wetness out from the glans. It was messy feeling, spreading and pushing through her body as she let out a little choked sound. She felt his pleasure building up, it was pouring along her thoughts, causing her body to tighten down to grip around his knot. She let out a ragged groan and started to twist a little bit, arching her stomach as the dragon shoved down above her and pinned her in place with a snarl of pleasure.

His jaws opened wide, the roar that came free echoed in her ears as the cock tip in her stomach began to twitch and send out a hot eruption of seed. It was thick and messy feeling, flushing inwards with rope after rope. The feel of it spreading through her lower belly made her tense and then shudder as her walls contracted down again, flexing and feeling the knot throbbing as the drake filled her. His body leaning above her with another groan, and her hips were bent forward slightly, making her fell her stomach bulging as the sheer amount of seed pouring into her began to cause her to stretch wider, heavier.

She could feel her tender folds were starting to twitch again, nearly tearing as the dragon trembled above her. His mind was pressed tight to her own, or perhaps her mind was pressed against his own, thoughts that were being shared and spread as the dragon’s cum began to spill in deeper. The slow movement was starting to grind against her, a shove that stirred the knot inside of her achingly stretched walls. The next drag backwards came with a shock as the hips lifted and the dragon let out a sharp hiss of pleasure when her pussy flexed down tight around him.

_:That is what I wanted to feel… My lovely human, you were meant for me, as I said.: _ Chya purred through her mind, the gold dragon’s thoughts rich with satisfaction and so intimate that he might as well have been whispering in her ear.

“I… I’m not bonded to you.” Neeta panted out, her voice ragged feeling as the hips lifted up higher in the air, the talons sliding against her.

_:You nearly are, I can feel your body, feel how deep I am inside of you.: _ The gold dragon continued and reared up higher, pulling so that the knot started to split open wider.

The slow aching strain made her cry out as the drake stood up and then let out a short hiss as his attention shifted to something else. As his paws released her she cried out and had to struggle to try and brace her hands against the ground as she hung down from his still twitching cock. His stomach was starting to grow more swollen and tender, the cum oozing into her over filling her until she felt as if she should have been able to taste it. She muffled a noise as the larger drake stared at his brother with defiant eyes and she felt the victory that he was experiencing as she was still tightly joined to him.

_:A pity you were too busy getting your beauty sleep, Elocci.: _ He said boldly and the purple blue dragon gave a low noise in his throat.

The paw slid down over her, gliding over her nude form as she let out a short sound as her stomach muscles suddenly contracted down. The squeeze flexed around the length of him as there was a twitch of the girth inside of her as it pushed deeper inside of her. The weight of the cum making her stomach round out even as her pussy was bulged wide around the knot that she hung from. The pressure making her seize up slightly and a tightening flex worked around him.

~ ~ * ~ ~

Elocci blinked and set his wings back tight to his body as he watched the human and his brother, anger roiling low in her belly as she let out a short growling noise in the back of his throat. His tail lashed back and forth as he watched Chya make a show of pushing forward with a grind, the cock bloating the line of the human’s belly as the tip pushed outwards sharply against the naval. He couldn’t look away, he had never really seen a dragon and human together, now he was strangely fixated on the length of the cock that she was hanging from.

_;So you decided to cheat.: _ He said after a few moments, his lips curling back to show his teeth.

They weren’t quite bonded, but he could almost feel the way that they were joined together by their actions. Sexual energy was the way many dragons worked to join with their human partner, he had just never imagined that his brother would stoop to this level in order to attract a human partner. His eyes narrowed as he watched his brother give a pull against the human, dragging backwards with a little yank that showed a flash of the dark purple knot driven into the human, nearly pulling it free before pushing home again with a wet noise.

_:I decided to win.: _ Chya answered with a short hiss of delight and then relaxed again, letting his hips drop down to being to push the cock back home inside of her.

_:We’ll see, you haven’t won yet.: _ Elocci hissed to himself and lashed his tail with a snap against the ground. _ _

_ _

_If he can use himself this way, why can’t I turn the tables? I just have to have my own turn, and use her body against her until she is firmly bonded to me. _ He thought and showed his teeth in a draconic smile at the very thought.

Chya behaved sexually the way he did in everything, simple and with power, with no real creativity or thought. He could be creative, he could make the human his so thoroughly that she wouldn’t even be able to look at the gold dragon again. He would make sure that her body was thoroughly put to use and given all new sensations, after all, there were books and scrolls on the pleasures of human flesh. Why not put them to good use?
