#4 of Growth Stories

Hiking and camping aren't the only things you can do in the great outdoors. You can get lost and be hunted by massive predators, too, as we observe in this commission for Pyros!

The aforementioned dragon is on a camping trip with his lover, Nalani, when the pair decide to settle for the night. Nalani wins the right to set up the tent, and as she does, Pyros heads into the forest to gather some firewood, but night is falling fast, and he's without any means to illuminate the darkness.

Nature does that for him, as he wanders around the woods in a state of pitch-black mire, but intense beams of green light begin striking him from multiple angles, and quickly, his consciousness starts to fade.

Growing concerned, Nalani seeks out her mate, and fears the worst when his scent disappears at a cliff...but a familiar, massive warmth appears right behind her, dwarfing her presence and leaving her shaking...

As always, read, comment and enjoy!


"We couldn't have picked a better trail for the evening."

Nalani was finally taking a load off, much as her yearning for adventure was pressing her to move on. "This was just about perfect. I don't think I'll ever see a better sunset than that..."

The usual, calm blue of the night sky was an abstract painting of golden rivers and splotches of pink, and through it all, serpents of orange and red swirled around, mixing the hues together and creating a sight that Nalani would never forget, even if she'd forgotten to bring any methods to preserve the view, save for her own memory.

Having experienced it and seen it for herself was what the cougar was really worried about, and to have that experience in her thoughts left her a special, comforting kind of warmth inside, as her rump came to rest upon a wide, smoothed log, clearly meant to be converted into a bench by someone who had come before.

"This far up in the mountains, anything is possible," Pyros suggested. The dragon was following the rules that they'd put out before, and in the spirit of actually hiking, he decided against using his wings as an advantage as they scaled up the side of the massive rock. "But I'd be lying if I said that wasn't the best one I've seen in ages."

Dark, red scales came to settle down next to smooth, sandy fur as Pyros took a seat next to his lover, and the membrane of his wing cast around her back, scooting her body in a little bit closer to his own. She giggled at the affectionate gesture, and pretended to fluff the inside of his pectoral like a pillow, before resting her cheek against it.

"Being with you made it that much better, Pyros."

The dragon was glad for the coat of scales upon his body, knowing that his cheeks would have been flushed with bashful warmth, otherwise. "Well, this whole trip was your idea, Nalani. You should really thank yourself."

"Hmm. Well, thank you, me!" she teased, and Pyros chuckled along with her as he lifted a paw and brushed it down along the back of her head, teasing his claws through the long, brilliantly red tresses of her hair. A quiet purr rumbled under Nalani's every breath as she embraced the affectionate touch. "This campsite is great, but I've got a feeling that we're gonna want a little extra warmth before too much longer."

The sunset, beautiful as it was, signaled that the pair of travelers were running out of time to sit around in their shirts and hiking pants. They weren't quite near the top of the mountain, but they were high enough that the weather would change slightly, and smart enough to know that if they didn't find a little extra warmth, soon, it would be a rather cold and uncomfortable evening.

"If you want to get started with the tent, I can go find us some firewood," Pyros offered, as he leaned into his cougar and pressed a small kiss upon her forehead. "At least, if that's the job you'd prefer."

Nalani's ears perked right up at the kiss, and the beautiful emeralds of her eyes sparkled just a little bit brighter as she nodded. "That works for me. I'm done hiking for the day."

Thinking it might have been funny to tease her about the fact that she was a mountain lion, and yet, was tired of the mountains, Pyros made a mental note to make the joke when he returned, as the pair shared a quick, but loving kiss upon the lips, and with a hint of a grudge, Pyros stood upon his footpaws and stretched, opening his wings behind him. "I'll get back as quickly as I can. Hopefully I won't get lost out there...the woods can be reaaaaaally spooky this time of the year!"

"Uh huh. Spooky. Totally," Nalani teased him and cast him a quick wink as she stood up from the bench as well, heading over to their twin hiking backpacks, and the tent that was slapped onto the top of Pyros' load. "I can't blame you for trying to get into the spirit, but I think you'll be just fine, dear."

"No, it's super dangerous! A ghost has me! Oh no!" Pyros waved his arms up and down, adding to the dramatic flair as he backed into the woods, pretending to be dragged away.

The act was enough to get Nalani to roll her eyes, at least, as she began unpacking and spreading out the tent. "Tell him to carry some firewood back with you, then!"

**

Even when he knew that Nalani was out of reach, and perhaps beyond the point of being able to hear him, Pyros was keeping us his dramatics, at least, until he felt silly for doing them.

"Okay. Broke free from the ghosts," he joked to himself. "Now to collect more than mere kindling."

Pyros was hopeful that the early fall would yield some larger, fallen branches that hadn't been used by other campers yet, and he was finding plenty of dry, dead leaves that would help to get a fire started, but there weren't quite enough larger branches in the woods to keep a fire going for a long time. He'd barely been able to find kindling sticks to get things going, and the further he marched from the campsite, the faster the sun was determined to go down and sleep for the evening, itself.

All of his jokes about the woods being spooky at night were likely to come back around to bite him; he didn't have a flashlight, or any other extra light source. "This wasn't supposed to take so long," he murmured, knowing that he only had himself to blame for his hubris, but still, he put a little bit of that blame on the nature around him, thinking that there should have been a plentiful supply of fallen logs or branches by then.

Wherever the blame was placed and left, it didn't change that Pyros was the only thing moving around in the slowly darkening woods, and as his footpaws kicked up leaves and rustled around the dead, dry grass of the forest floor, the dragon grew further frustrated with his search, wondering if it would be better to just find a dead tree and chop it down entirely.

"Getting dark... really dark," Pyros murmured, and no sooner did he say it than did a branch blend in with the darkness and scrape across his cheek, leaving him to curse under his breath. "I should probably just make my way back to the campsite...but..."

The dragon whirled his head around, and cursed his bad luck. "I can't find the damned path."

Beams of sunlight were finally drowned out by the coming of the night, and just when Pyros was sure that the situation couldn't get any worse, he watched the rising moon slowly drown under the cover of thick, dark clouds, smothering out what little bit of light he might have been able to use.

"...Okay; Plan B. What's Plan B?"

Ducking his head down slightly to avoid being poked by other branches, Pyros tucked his wings in tight and abandoned the idea of getting any larger, thicker branches. He kept a tight grip on the kindling that he'd managed to collect, and with his free paw, he rubbed his open palm against the trunks of the trees as he turned back in a straight line, hoping that it would lead him right back to the campsite, or at least, closer to it.

In the dark of the growing night, Pyros wasn't sure that he was actually heading the right direction, and he was even a little bit disoriented as he stayed hunched over slightly, knowing that he could easily whack his head if he stood up straight. What was just a way of avoiding a few bumps on the head seemed to be a working method, however, as something brilliant and green suddenly pierced the darkness.

"T...the hell is that?" the dragon threw his free palm in front his eyes to give them a moment to adjust to the beam. His legs wobbled, and his balance was thrown as if he'd gazed into the eye of a laser, but after a few seconds, he found his bearings and managed to look upon the source of the light once more, with just the edge of his palm to take the edge off. "It's coming from the tree!"

The light was narrow and precise, casting very little light anywhere other than the target it directly chose, and it seemed that the wandering dragon was that very target. When he followed the beam with his eyes, he could see a strange, swirling symbol of light upon the softer, dark orange scales of his underbelly, but it didn't seem to carry any heat; it merely projected onto him, and when he pressed the flat of his palm to the source, it completely blanked out the beam.

Doing that seemed harmless enough, and it should have been, as Pyros found a literal glimmer of relief and entertainment in the thickening darkness.

"Such a strange tree...I wonder if it traps sunlight throughout the day, and then radiates it back into the air at night?" Pyros asked himself, as he continued swiping his paw back and forth over the trunk of the tree, blocking the light out and then moving his paw to let it free once more, treating it like a fun sort of a game. "It's comforting to see, anyway...but I can't really take this light with me. Go figure."

Pyros was ready to move on when he noticed another tree emitting a similar light, just to the right side of him. He didn't feel anything when the first beam touched him, but with a pair of them upon his scales, he immediately felt a warmth inside; something that was truly comforting as the night air continued to drop in temperature.

Taking a half step back and stumbling toward his own fate, Pyros triggered yet another beam of light to cast upon his back, and the heat within his body began growing out of control, as if the flesh within his scales was expanding. A fourth and fifth beam came from trees that, now that Pyros could see the arrangement, made the shape of a pentagon around him.

He'd stumbled into the middle of an ancient nexus of primal energy, and the kindling fell from his paws as they spread wide open at his sides, and began to grow out of control. Membranous wings spread open on his back, knocking lesser branches to the ground around them as they expanded, and the roaring fire within his body became too much to contain, as tiny flames spilled over the sides of his jowls.

The whole experience became disorienting as Pyros fell to his knees and leaned over on his hands, but they scarcely looked to be that anymore, as thick, deadly sharp dewclaws sprouted from his wrists...

**

Nalani wasn't the type to go wandering off into the woods by herself.

She wasn't necessarily worried about her own safety: she kept her claws sharp, and though she wasn't heavy set, she did have a full, voluptuous form, and when it came time to scuffle, she knew how to throw her body around to get out of trouble.

When the moon began come up over the side of the horizon, however, and she'd heard nothing from Pyros, she began to grow concerned, and with no cell phone to reach out to him, she could do little more than yell at the edge of the forest to guide him back with her voice.

When that failed, she finally gave in, laced up her hiking books once more, and made her way through the thickets of bushes and heavy trees that were off of the beaten path, following through the same gap that Pyros made his way through almost two hours before.

"This should have only taken him a few minutes. I guess I should have been the one to collect the branches, after all," she muttered to herself, finding that the experience of losing her lover on the face of the mountain was a truly sour way to end the day, especially after such a brilliant sunset, and a splendid day before it. "He's probably a little too tall for these woods, anyway."

The branches were thick, but they were healthy as Nalani weaved her way in and out of them, sneaking through gaps in the trees and blazing her own trail as she tried to stay on the scent of her dragon. Her eyes were more adept at navigating through the night than his own, but the emeralds were beginning to strain a little bit as she made her way further and further from the campsite.

She tried to leave herself tiny clues to find her way back, but with a forest floor covered in leaves and dead grass, everything began to blend together in a sea of brown, yellow, orange and gray, and in the dark, all of it looked fairly similar, even to her skillful eyes.

"This feels...dangerous," she whispered to herself, and her steps became shorter as she made precise, delicate movements forward. The darkness was hard to pierce, and she knew that their campsite was closer to the edge of the cliffs than she would have liked.

Her heel kicked out a few loose stones as she neared one of those edges, and her heart sunk into the back of her chest when she lost the hint of her lover's scent on that very same edge.

"Pyros? Pyros!" she called out, feeling her heart skip at least a few beats, before she remembered that he'd be able to fly, even if he had stepped off of the ledge. Despite the darkness, her ears picked up the sound of the stones finally hitting some ground below, and she knew that her mate had reflexes enough to stop himself before he would have hit.

The fact that she couldn't seem to find his scent beyond there, however, renewed her panic, and she clutched a paw to her chest, digging her claws into the thick, rugged fabric of her tank top as she tried to ignore her fearful thoughts.

What if he didn't react in time? That kind of a fall would have...

She couldn't finish the statement, even in her mind. " PYROS!" she cried his name at the top of her lungs once more, and it echoed across the valley below, shaking a few smaller creatures awake and causing a rustle across the canopy of trees that waited there.

Her tail went limp above her rump, and hung between her legs, defeated, as she feared the very worst might have come to light.

Never having been in such a moment of peril before, Nalani was expecting a sensation of utter chill, but instead, she felt a thick, steamy warmth upon her shoulders and her upper back, as if she'd dipped head first into a hot tub.

"Am I gonna pass out?" she wondered aloud, and she took a half-step back from the edge of the cliff...before her shoulders bumped into a body, and even more warmth poured over her, matting down her hair slightly and leaving visible beads of moisture in her smooth, soft fur.

Eyes were already shrunken down to dots before Nalani turned around, and at first, she was relieved at the sight of a red and orange dragon.

Relief quickly spun into panic as she noticed that dragon was easily ten feet tall...standing on all fours.

"Oh shi-

Boots slammed into the ground as Nalani ran between the front legs of the massive beast, and survival instinct kicked in as she daftly maneuvered around the trunk of a tree, trying to create some space. The monstrous dragon behind her simply knocked the tree out of the ground and cast it into the valley below as it pursued her, and Nalani could feel her heart beating against her chest with such a pace that she feared it might actually leap from her throat.

The painful, heavy CLACK of massive fangs slamming together behind her kept the cougar speeding through the trees the best that she could, but every few seconds, her pace was slowed by dodging a branch, or swinging around the trunk of a tree to change her direction. It was an impressive run, but no matter how quick her gait was, she could feel the ground shaking as the dragon stayed right on her heels, and her adrenaline finally spiked as a gnarled, humped root caught the toe of her boot as she tried to step over it, ripping the boot clean off and sending her flying through the air.

Dirt and gravel kicked up around Nalani as she skidded across the ground, and she was grateful, at least, that her momentum didn't quite carry her head into a tree...though she wondered if being unconscious for her death might have been better, as she rapidly turned onto her hip, and then her rump, as she skidded back on her haunches...but the dragon was already towering over her, gazing down at her with hauntingly familiar eyes.

"There h-h-haven't been f-feral dragons in t-these parts for years," Nalani tried to calm herself down, as if she believed that this was all a dream, but her words were riddled with panicked hiccups, and again, she could feel the steamy warmth radiating down upon her as the dragon lowered his head. Fangs that could easily bite through wood and steel opened up above her rugged top, and where it stood up to tiny rocks and gravel...

...It failed to save her modesty, as the fangs bit right through the fabric, and easily tore it apart. The sports bra beneath was caught in the crossfire, and the seams came apart as easily as a smooth zipper while the fangs pulled back.

In seconds, Nalani was nude from the waist up, but that fact was truly at the back of her mind; at least, until she wondered why the dragon would have stopped there.

"You really could have just eaten me right there, big guy," she pointed out, and her voice was immediately calmed, as the massive beast simply hovered over her, as if it was truly interested in what she had to say. "Are you really gonna draw this out, for me?"

Her suggestion was taken to heart, but not quite in the way that she imagined, as fangs went to work again, this time piercing into the thick, protective cargo shorts that kept her clean and safe during the day. Naturally, they were no match for the deadly fangs of the dragon, but again, his muzzle was the only thing to brush against her fur, and though her panties were easily ripped apart along with her shorts, cast to the forest floor in useless tatters...no harm came to her.

The entire time, Nalani was looking for Pyros by his scent, but it seemed that he'd found her, first, even if she still wasn't quite sure of the dragon's identity.

"Okay, now I know you're fucking with me," she claimed, but it seemed the dragon had other things on his mind, first, as his muzzle opened more delicately, and the warmth that poured from it rained upon her lower half, focusing right between her legs; she didn't bother trying to keep them closed, figuring that she was nothing more than a snack to a feral dragon.

She trembled as the heat washed over her uncovered sex, a subtle reaction, but she sucked in a tight breath and fought back a scream of shock as the wide, slick tongue of the beast slipped over her womanhood and instantly coated it with a thick helping of heated saliva.

H...HEY! Only my mate gets to do that, y-you fucking...s-savage..." Nalani did all that she could to keep a powerful stance in the face of such a deadly creature, but before she could finish her statement, the tongue was brushing back down over her clit and spreading her folds apart, filling the gap with even more juices than her body would normally produce. It was the kind of treatment that only Pyros had ever given her before, and as the dragon ignored her protests and worked on her cunt with all of the love and care that a passionate man would, Nalani swallowed a gasp, realizing just who was hovering over her.

Pyros? What on earth happened to you?! she wondered, but she kept her voice to herself, not wanting to incite panic in her lover, and a bit more selfishly, not wanting to interrupt his skillful work. She was still panting from the chase, and still shaking from the subsiding panic, but a new tremble was working up in her quivering legs as she willingly spread them up out and a little further. I didn't think you could become a feral dragon!

It seemed that Pyros was retaining enough of himself not to be a threat, but Nalani was still worried about how dangerous another part of him might be, as the cougar was suddenly assaulted with a plentiful helping of his scent, from perhaps the most obvious source.

"L...listen, big guy," she tried to reason with him, as she watched the draconic tip of his cock emerging from the genital sheath between his legs, "You know I'm always up for a challenge, but...I...I don't think I ca_aaaaaaaanooooohgods..._"

The tongue slipped across Nalani's entire body, gliding up from her tickled sex and moving across her tummy before it teased between her breasts, leaving the inside of her cleavage completely soaked with saliva, before the dragon moved forward on all fours and braced his front paws into the nearest tree behind his lioness.

That alone wasn't quite enough to draw her moan, but the incredible, pulsing warmth of his cock as it continued to grow against her body, and glide against her spread, needy folds did the trick, and rather rapidly, she was warming up to the idea of at least trying to handle Pyros in his new form.

A rumble of delight that shook the very ground she rested upon sent a vibrating chill up through Nalani's innards, and she giggled as it tickled her form all the way from the tips of her toes to the ends of her rounded ears. "A little bit eager, aren't we?" she asked, as she watched Pyros angle his hips so that the tip of his member could rest between her folds...and even that was a stretch for the little cougar, who was happily dwarfed by her lover.

His muzzle came down to brush against her cheek, and she pressed a nervous, but encouraging kiss to his scales, urging him to penetrate her in a way that they'd never imagined trying.

Despite being a massive, deadly beast that was clearly hunting her before, Pyros shared all of the usual care that he would with Nalani's body, and she winced, clenching her fangs together as she tried to relax around the tip of the impossibly huge length as it began to press further inside of her.

"F...fuck me..."

How she managed to even whisper the words when it felt like she could scarcely breathe, Nalani wasn't entirely sure, but desire controlled her body more than logic, as her legs felt as though they might pop out of place.

The weight of her lover was bearing down on her smaller, slimmer figure as Pyros pulled his hips back just slightly, and even from the very first thrust, the cougar was gaping just slightly. A larger, fuller set of testes meant that the dragon was pumping out a healthy amount of precum, and Nalani watched with breathless excitement as strands of the sticky mess gushed from her cunt as if he'd just released his seed inside of her.

"I c-can take it," Nalani whispered, as she pushed her hips toward the impressive girth. "Thrust a little harder...I know how badly you n-need this!"

Like any couple that was guaranteed privacy, some kind of sex was planned out for the weekend that the pair were spending together, and as busy as her life already was, Nalani hadn't been able to provide the kind of intimacy for Pyros that she'd hoped, as of late.

Even if she'd be walking funny for a few days, she saw the moment as a chance to make up for all of that, as her slit was spread once more around the narrowed tip of the dragon's length, and with it, a few inches began to pump in and out of her body, filling the otherwise empty forest with the echoed, sticky sounds of her folds spreading, and her insides being soaked with precum.

"Y-yes... yes! Keep going!" Nalani begged of Pyros, able to feel that he was hesitating with his member, clearly able to tell that her body simply wasn't designed to take something so massive, and she knew it, as well, but she was determined to keep trying.

Such a tight and heated penetration, however, was proving to be more than the feral dragon could handle, and Nalani wrapped her arms around the neck of her lover the best that she could as she felt a throbbing within that was so great, it forced every inch of her body to tremble along with it.

A deep, thunderous rumble from Pyros warned of any other predators to stay far away from the sight, and once again, Nalani shook visibly from the weight of the sound, but her body was beginning to quiver from the peak of her womanhood, as well; her clit was buzzing with delight, and all of the added pressure from being so deliciously stretched around the draconic member was pushing her closer to an orgasm than she ever imagined she would get in such a manner.

When Pyros accepted the limits of her sex and settled for what were short, choppy thrusts to him, but deep, powerful thrusts to her, her eyes slowly began to roll back into her head as she released his muzzle, and her arms fell back, twitching occasionally as an unreal pleasure began filling her entire being.

"I don't c-care if I blow up l-like a fucking balloon," Nalani muttered through a series of heated, desperate pants of breath. Her breasts were heaving and swaying upward with the weight of Pyros' thrusts, and his pace was more than her body could keep up with, even as her legs tried to cling to the underside of the feral beast, looking for some kind of support in a moment that was equally physically challenging, and sexually fulfilling. "You...f-fucking leave...that beautiful cock in there...w-when you cum!"

Just to feel the tight, skillful clench of Nalani's inner muscles around the end of his sensitive length would have been enough to bring Pyros to the edge of his orgasm, but to have her begging; no, ordering him to leave his cock inside of her, despite the no doubt incredible volume that his seed would have...was simply unfair.

The dragon winced his large, peering eyes closed and rammed his head forcefully into the ground as he braced his legs and pounded in as deeply as her body could handle, knowing that she'd feel a little discomfort, but the uncontrollable fluttering of her vaginal walls and silent, desperate squeal that came from her lungs as Nalani clutched at her breasts and cupped them made it clear to the feral creature that his mate was already in the throes of her orgasm...and he was desperate to join her.

Nalani wasn't expecting to see the bulge so quickly, but her tummy was already pushing up just a little bit from the massive penetration...still, nothing prepared her for the sight of a small, obvious puddle of cum inside of her as she felt the first burst of ejaculate, striking her womb with such force that her stomach was nearly rattled by it. She continued crying out in a silent, whimpering ecstasy as tears nearly formed in the corner of her eyes from the sensations radiating through her body, all proving to be just at the edge of what she could handle, and every single one created a sense of satisfaction in her as thick, heavy globs of cum began spurting back out through her stretched, gaping folds, gushing to the forest floor and staining the dirt and leaves with what she just couldn't handle.

Even though she'd ordered him to stay inside, Nalani didn't dare to complain when Pyros' manhood slipped out of her sex and ended up slapping against her stomach, resting in her fur and thrusting between her breasts. It seemed that her lover had plenty left to give, and she happily opened wide as plentiful seed shot across her chest and the underside of her neck, and most delightfully of all, right into the roof of her open muzzle.

When she caught her breath, Nalani would be sure to praise him: to tell him what a good boy he was, and how he treated her so nicely for being a feral beast. She would be sure to tell him that she was okay with his hunting, and that, all told, she was really just glad that he was safe.

She would do all of that, but she could already feel Pyros nudging at the side of her breast with his cheek, and she quickly got the hint, swallowing her mouthful of cum before her soaked, trembling form rolled over onto all fours, and she gripped the base of a tree trunk, eagerly awaiting a second round.

**

Nalani felt like she'd been hit by a train; a glorious, wonderful, orgasm-giving train that ran her over several times just to make sure that she understood how wonderful sex with a massive partner could be.

She hardly remembered falling asleep in a literal puddle of seed, and though she giggled about the fact, she still stuck her tongue out at the thought of how hard she'd have to work to get the mess out of her fur, especially when some of it was already dried...but somehow, some of it wasn't.

"Glad you're awake. I was starting to think I'd done you in."

Pyros was resting behind her, as he had been when they finally succumbed to exhaustion the night before, but his arm fit perfectly around her tummy, unlike the way that it dwarfed her the night before. For the moment, it seemed, everything was back to normal, and as much as she'd enjoyed her brief foray into size play, Nalani was grateful for being back to the basics, as she turned and rubbed the end of her muzzle against that of her lover.

"You pushed me to the brink, for sure. I hope you don't mind giving me the night off to recover?"

"Of course not," Pyros replied with a warm, genuine smile.

He didn't realize that there was just the slightest glow of green in his eyes, a sign that they might not have a choice in what happened that evening...
