Chapter IV: Secrets in the Water
#4 of The Dragon & The Lady
While Balthazar is away, Annette has an erotic encounter in a sacred grotto
Original Version (8/29/09): This was my first ongoing story on YiffStar, so it holds some significance for me. When I posted the first two chapters, I wasn't sure where this was going. Chapter three changed the direction of the story, shifting the focus to Annette and introducing Rosetta- who would become a reoccurring character. Ironically, despite being one of the title characters, Balthazar became difficult to write for as the story went on.
First Revision (4/17/13): It's taken over three years, but I've finally updated the original. This will be the last chapter to undergo a serious revision, as I'm pretty satisfied with the recent ones. I hope you guys will find this an improvement over the previous version.
Update (11/13/14): I don't know why I didn't post this at the time, but I found this revised version and decided to put it up on the site. I don't really have time to check this over at length (at least right now), so I can only hope I didn't miss anything.
THE DRAGON & THE LADY
Chapter IV:
_ "Secrets in The Water" _
While a multitude of Dragons do exist, there is little in the way of what a one could think of as social organization amongst them. They are territorial by nature and tend to stick to themselves- only interacting in very specific circumstances. Otherwise, Dragons prefer to stick to their own territory, guarding and tending to the rare and exotic things within their lairs.
The overall Dragon population is rather low- their tendency to live for long periods of time acts as a strong deterrent for a population boom. Limited space is also another deterrent. At most, each region has only one or two Dragons residing within it. Contrary to many myths, the majority of Dragons preferred a life of solitude and did not go out of their way to terrorize people. They do often seek out places of strong magical energies and collect various items of power and knowledge.
There there are different types of Dragons, denoted by their colors. Red Dragons, such as Balthazar, are the iconic fire-breathing Dragons. Blue Dragons can breath jets of icy mist that can turn anything in its path to ice, while the Gray Dragons can produce powerful gusts of wind to unleash storms capable of sweeping away entire battalions. Green Dragons give off a roar strong enough rend and tare apart the earth before them. Black Dragons are the strongest- and the most uncommon- as they can wield all the elemental powers and are nearly indestructible.
Personally, Balthazar preferred to avoid violence whenever possible- and had helped one of the local militias establish a Knights' Order. Which they would go on to name the "Order of the Red Dragon". The Red Dragon in question smiled inwardly, recalling the story...
. . . ...o.o.o... . . .
Rosetta led Annette through a darkened passage, one that the young woman had been unaware of until now. The rose-haired woman looked back and smiled. "You know, you'd be awfully surprised at the things that can be found in a Dragon's lair..." She mused.
Annette smiled at the comment. "That's for sure, I mean you, here in the lair." She replied, holding back a faint laugh as Rosetta blushed at the reminder of their first encounter. While the flower spirit was fairly uninhibited in her advances towards Annette, the human was still slightly awkward about being with another woman. After all, these things just weren't done... well, not publicly at least.
She followed Rosetta down the hall, the flower spirit leading the blond woman down the stone corridor within the lair. Eventually, the two arrived a heavy wooden door, similar to the one at the entrance to the flower garden where they'd first met. The rose-haired woman opened the door, revealing a secluded grotto to her companion. A waterfall cascaded down, through a broad rift high up on the stone wall, and fed into the large pool that took up the bulk of the chamber.
Rosetta stopped once they were inside, then turned to smile at Annette. "So, tell me, my dear- what do you think of the the Grotto?" The rose-haired woman asked the blond serenely, her dreamy eyes remaining closed as she spoke to her. "Beautiful, is it not?"
The blond looked around in amazement. The grotto was large and the rounded ceiling rose up several meters above them. The chamber was
illuminated by torches set in place on the walls- the flames likely being magical in nature, and so self-sustaining. "It's incredible... I've never seen anything like it." She replied, still marveling at her surroundings. She knelt down at the edge of the pool and dipped her fingers in, feeling the cool water on her smooth skin.
Annette jumped slightly, jerking her hand back, when she felt Rosetta snake her arms around her and lean in to rest her body against hers. Moments later, she let out a small gasp as an errant hand moved across one of her breasts- the rose woman's slender fingertips brushing against the soft peek of her nipple through the fabric of her dress.
She inhaled sharply as her nipples stiffened under her touch, but Rosetta only smiled as she continued to caress the other woman through her
dress. "You're so responsive." She coed, before cresting the tip of her tongue coral-pink shell of her ear. She then moved downward to gently nibble the soft curve of the blond woman's collarbone. "You're so sensitive...." She teased. "Though, that's what I like about you humans- you're nice and receptive to pleasure."
Rosetta slipped a hand between the young woman's thighs. Annette moaned and clamped her knees together when caressed her mound. The rose-haired flower spirit gently brushed the tips of her fingers against her outer folds. "You're so cute..." She mused, bringing her hand up
to show the young woman her arousal-slicked fingers. "It must be a side effect of Lord Balthazar making loving to you."
Annette flushed a dark shade of pink at this, only for Rosetta to once more grope her breast through the fabric of her dress. The rose woman then reached down to grip the hem of the other woman's dress and pulled it up around her waist, exposing her sensitive flesh to the cool air. "Why you little harlot," she exclaimed jokingly. "...You just can't get enough, can you?" She teased her, pulling the woman's garment up over her head and freeing her breasts.
Rosetta finished undressing her and cast the garment aside, then paused to look down at the blond woman's ample bosom and smiled approvingly.
She couldn't help but think that their Dragon master certainly had good tastes. With that, she slid her hand down her stomach and dipped between her legs, she brush against the soft blond hair of her mound as teased her slick folds.
Annette moaned loudly and ground her hips together, though she made no attempt to resist the other as she traced along her slit, or even when Rosetta finally slipped a finger inside her core. She whimpered softly in pleasure, but still made no attempt to escape her. "N-no, I'm a good girl..." The young woman protested weakly in a discordant whimper.
Rosetta only smiled as she slipped a second finger inside her. "Really... And what about what you did with me, was that so innocent?" She asked in a low tone. "You might squirm and pout a little, but in the end you're just a slave to your own desires... Admit it, you love having sex, don't you?" She exclaimed as she began thrusting her fingers into the woman's aching slit.
Annette nodded weakly. "I... Y-yes, you're right... Lord Balthazar makes me feel so good." She finally admitted, seeing her writhing form reflected in the water. The chance to see herself as she was, lost in the pleasure the other woman was giving her, was eerily arousing.
"It's alright, lover." Rosetta offered, whispering into her ear. "I too have known the longing for the embrace of another- to be touched and fulfilled." She brought her hand up to show that her fingers were slick with Annette's juices. "When you have accepted your true nature, then you may be embraced by the master and know true pleasure." She continued idly, aroused by her own words.
The entire exchange seemed so unreal to Annette. It all felt more like she was watching this all as it happened to someone else. But the agile fingers of the flower spirit brought home the fact that this was very real as she teased the blond's aching slit. She moaned loudly and arched back into her companion with a cry of pleasure. Rosetta smiled deftly shifted her position to better support her.
Just then, the water rippled and the surface broke as a head rose part way up. Pale yellow eyes looked up at them, through damp locks of dark blue-green hair. Annette gasped in surprise as the as the rest of the figure began to ascend from the water. She would have cried out in surprise, if not for the fact that the rose woman's skilled hand was teasing her sensitive flesh...
. . . ...o.o.o... . . .
Annette climaxed and slumped down unceremoniously. Amidst gasps for breath, the blond woman looked to the strange figure now before her...
The creature looked female, and almost human. She had long, shiny dark blue hair that spilled across her shoulders and hung down the slope of her back. Unlike the other two women, she was taller and leaner, with a narrow waist and long slender legs. A small light blue scales- overlapping so perfectly as to nearly pass for skin- covered her body. The scales on her forearms and lower legs were a darker shade of blue, while the (even softer and finer) scales covering her face, throat, the front of her torso and inner thighs were almost white. Her breasts, while modest in size, were still perfectly shaped and both were capped by prominent dark blue nipples.
She then seemingly floated across the water towards them. "You're back, Rosetta... It's been a while." The strange woman remarked in a calm, matter-of-fact tone. She looked down and regarded Annette for a moment with an unreadable look. "...I see you've brought company?"
Rosetta smiled up at her. "I was wondering when you'd finally show yourself, Rezza." The Rose Spirit remarked, still smiling at the other woman. "I was starting to think that you wouldn't show, that you'd just stay under the water and watch like a little voyeur."
With that, Rezza effortlessly stepped out onto the stone floor of the grotto, her sleek form glistening in the low light, and returning the rose-haired woman's smile. "How could I not, considering the little show you were putting on?" She asked with a little smirk.
Rossetta lowered Annette into seated position, so that her body was now resting against hers as she gasped for breath. The woman was flushed with embarrassment and her legs trembled, spread out unceremoniously and giving the water spirit a good view of her now arousal-slicked nether lips.
"Anna, my dear, this is Rezza- she's the patron Water Spirit of the mountain." Rosetta explained, cradling the human as she looked to the blue-skinned woman. "And this succulent creature happens to be Lord Balthazar's lover." The rose woman continued. The blond was starting the calm down, her breath and pulse easing. She looked to her with a flustered expression.
Rezza knelt down in front of the two, an unreadable expression on her face as she looked down at the blond woman's dripping core. "She must be very good if she's his lover..." She remarked, noting the glistening lips of her sex. "Such a pretty little thing." The water spirit mused, running her fingertips teasingly along her netherlips and brushing against the blond pubis. She continued to tease the young woman, ghosting across her stomach and the curve of her breast. She then circled idly around the edge of her nipple, a gasp escaping Annette's lips.
Rosetta nodded enthusiastically. "Oh, trust me, she is." The rose-haired woman remarked, before leaning in to capture Annette's parted lips in a kiss. "I always look forward to our visits." She added with a smile as she withdrew from the flustered blond.
Rezza shook her head, a small smirk on her face. "You're such a predictable creature, you're just an animal in search of pleasure." She commented coolly. "I'm rather surprised that Lord Balthazar isn't more worried about you steeling her away from him."
Rosetta smiled. "Every little thing about her is perfect- her perfect breasts, longs legs and full hips, and this gorgeous hair." She spoke, twirling a golden lock with her finger. "And Lord Balthazar certainly doesn't mind sharing her with me... In fact, he enjoys it." The flower spirit continued as she
looked down at Annette and smiled at her. "Annette... Rezza can make you feel really good," She began in a gentle tone. "But first, you have to make her feel good."
. . . ...o.o.o... . . .
A Dragon's lair reflects the exotic and eclectic nature of the beast who resides within it, and Balthazar was no exception to this rule. His residence was built up from the natural cavern system within the mountain he resides in, and served as home to a number of unusual things.
While he possessed a significant 'horde'- a great store of wealth and riches, acquired over the course of his long life. However, for the Dragon, the most important additions within his lair were not objects, but the living beings- mythical creatures that had come into the red Dragon care over the course of his many years of life. Many of Balthazar's charges tended to be vague and incomprehensible, with a few approachable exceptions- such
as the enigmatic Flower Spirit Rosetta, among others...
And of course there was a recent addition to the lair, Annette. The lovely young woman was unlike any other human he'd encountered before. For
one thing, she was refreshingly uncorrupt and unspoiled by the larger world around her. The Dragon need only look into her blue eyes to see that she possessed no ulterior motives or ambitions. In her own mind, she had no past, only the present. And in his eyes, the girl was simply his Annette, and that more than pleased him.
She was young, beautiful, vibrant, yet she was content to remain at his side. She was totally devoted to him and had given herself to the Dragon completely. Balthazar's kind, by their own admission, were supposedly above such human notions of sentiment and affection. And yet despite this, he knew that Annette's happiness meant a great deal to him...
. . . ...o.o.o... . . .
Annette blushed darkly, but relented and accepted the situation. She realized that there were far worse predicaments that the one she was presently
in. She'd been taken in, given a comfortable and secure place to call home, and a lifestyle that most only dreamed of. Her master was kind, and she quickly learned the pleasures that came from making love- both with the Dragon, and more recently with the female spirit Rosetta, who'd taken a sudden liking to her.
"What do you want me to do?" Annette asked the strange woman before her.
Rezza only smiled at the question, before looking to Rosetta. The rose maiden simply returned the smile and nodded, as if confirming something. Without saying anything, the water spirit slid her hand down her flat stomach, coming to rest between her thighs. Her eyes fluttered as a visible tremble ran through her body. A faint whimper escaped her lips as she appeared to tease something beneath the smooth scaled flesh where her sex would have been, were she human.
As she ran tips of fingers up and down the the center of her mound, the path of her fingertips darkened and a 'crease' began to form in the finely
scaled surface. Rezza shuddered, her fine muscles of inner thighs tensing momentarily, then a gasp escaping her lips. Annette, her face flush, watched transfixed as the the smooth flesh began to part. It was plainly obvious to the blond that the 'slit' forming between the water spirit's legs was clearly her sexual organ.
The only noteworthy difference was that it seemed to be entirely internal. And as such, the finer details were not visible to Annette. She remained silent, watching as the woman's fingers slipped between the smooth outer lips of her sex, only to then delve inside, in a probing manner, as if Rezza was seeking something hidden within the depths of her sex. Then, just as abruptly as she had begun, she quickly withdrew her now arousal-slicked hand from herself.
Rezza's eyes narrowed and she arched forward slightly. Annette gasped audibly as something began to emerge from out of the water spirit's sex...
The tip of the organ appeared, followed by the semi-erect length of the shaft. It was a phallus- though slick and blue like the rest of Rezza. A dark blue line ran along the underside of it, and it glistened in the dull light.
Annette watched, wide-eyed, as the organ became stiff. "W-what is she?" She asked Rosetta, a mixture of panic and curiosity in her words.
For her part, the flower spirit smiled devilishly. Rosetta cupped the blond's breasts and leisurely began to squeeze and caress them, teasing the nipples between her fingers. "Rezza is a powerful elemental spirit- she has the ability to become anything you desire."
Rezza smiled as she held her glistening length, before Annette. "I can make you feel very good, but I'd like you to do something for me first..." She explained as the blond woman looked up at her, then back down at the strange organ in her hand. It was fairly large, by human standards, and seemed to pulse with life, in the same way that her master's did!
The woman knew full well what was expected of her. She still felt a little uncertain, but realized that by this point, she was in too far to simply back out now. Annette nodded and got down into a kneeling position, taking a breath as she leaned forward. She gripped the shaft with both hands, encircling her fingers around the the girth of the member.
Annette marveled at the organ in her hands- the organ was smooth, with a similar slickness to the rest of her body, and warm to the touch. After a moment, she shook off any remaining reservation and began to stroke the rigid length, moving in a quick fluid motion. Several secants passed as she casually pumped the water spirit's length, as if this was all perfectly normal.
Rezza sucked in air, trembling from the stimulation- her eyes fluttering as the blond woman worked the length of her shaft. The water spirit's hips shuddered reflexively and let out a groan, causing Annette to cease her stroking and look up at her questioningly. The blue-skinned woman managed to compose herself enough to speak. "Ah... N-no, don't stop... I-it's just very sensitive." Rezza told her unevenly, between gasps. "Please, ah, continue... use you're mouth." She added insistently.
Annette nodded after a moment, before she moved in- taking the Rezza into her mouth, then swirled her tongue around the tip. The blond continued
stroking the hard length while she kissed and licked the head of Rezza's organ. After while, she drew back and planted her lips at the base, then ran her tongue up along the underside- acting on her past experiences with Balthazar. She swirled her tongue over the slick head of the cock, then took it back inside her mouth once more.
Rezza gasped and buried her slender fingers in the lush head of blond hair before her and began urging her on. Spurred on by the contact, Ann took as much of her into her as she could and began bobbing up down on her cock. While sucking on her hard length, she let it slip out of her mouth so she could move downward and run her tongue along the underside of it. As this was happening, Rosetta slid a hand under Annette's bottom and inserted a fingers into her- causing the blond to tremble.
Rezza's entire body shivered as the woman took her cock into her mouth once more. The water spirit dug her finger into the blond locks as she thrust into Annette's mouth, burying her length deep inside the human's throat. The young woman couldn't help but gag slightly over the sudden intrusion, only to then go wide-eyed as she felt the organ began to pulse with life as she climaxed- pulling back as she filled her throat and mouth with her thick seed.
After a few moments, she withdrew, her member slick and glistening. Rezza looked down at the figure of the kneeling blond before her, watching the woman as she swallowed what was left in her mouth between gasps for air. She quickly knelt down in front of her, placing a hand on either shoulder
and gently pushed her down onto her back. Rose silently watched Rezza as she gently nudged the woman's legs apart, then as she moved in between them.
Ann understood and spread her legs as the water spirit took hold of her length to position the tip of her cock against the outer folds of her slit. Rezza had little trouble parting the glistening lips of her sex, deep into the slick folds of her insides. The blond let out a cry of pleasure as the blue-skinned woman buried the length of her shaft in her tight passage.
It took Rezza a moment to adjust the pleasant warmth. The spirit let out a string of incomprehensible curses under breath as she drew back and
gave an experimental thrust. "Oh gods... it- it feels so good inside you! I can't believe Balthazar isn't fucking you all the time!"
Annette gasped as the blue woman plunged into her. "His loss..." Rosetta casually remarked, caressing the blond's cheek. "Besides, Lord Balthazar is out, tending to his Dragon business- so I get to keep an eye on here while he's away from the lair."
Rezza grit her teeth and placed her hands on Annette's hips to steady herself as she continued moving inside of her. After a few more thrusts, she found the right rhythm, rocking the young woman's body with each thrust into her. The human woman cried out, her back arching, hands grabbing the water spirit's arms tightly as she continued thrusting at a steady pace.
Rose watched as the water spirit plunged deep inside the woman, listening to the sounds of her moans as each powerful thrust rocked her sweat-slick body. Rezza reached down and hiked Annette's legs over her shoulders- allowing her to reach deeper inside her. Ann let out a howl as the blue woman buried herself up to the hilt inside her slick passage. "Amazing, it feels so good inside you..." Annette moaned with each pounding thrust of the strange female's "cock".
Rezza felt a sudden surge of pleasure run through her body! She shivered, digging her fingers into the supple flesh of the hips of the woman beneath her and giving a final thrust. The sensation of Annette's insides clamping down around her aching member was all it took for her to climax. She pulled out of her at the last moment- spilling her seed onto Annette's stomach. "Sorry, dear... but the Dragon would be... upset with me if I came inside you." She remarked between gasps.
With that, Rezza fell back, breathing heavily. Rosetta smiled at Annette as she reached down to caress her cheek, getting a look of bewilderment in response. "You see, Rezza's organ functions just like that of a male's... So, she might have gotten you pregnant had she came inside you."
Annette sat up and glared at her. "You're awful, you could have warned me!" She snapped, gesturing down at her body, the water spirit's seed sticking to her stomach and breasts.
Both of them turned to Rezza, who was laughing faintly. Annette noticed that the water spirit's organ appeared to vanished back inside her body. She shook her head. "The risk of you getting pregnant from my seed is quite low- it would require multiple couplings for any chance of that."
With that, she turned around slipped her legs back into the water, then paused and looked back over her shoulder at Annette and Rosetta. "And now... I'm afraid I'm feeling rather tired. So, if the two of you will excuse me, I think I'll retire to sleep for a while." She then turned back to the grotto and started to slide down into the water. "Still, I'm sure we'll meet again... eventually." She added in a dreamy tone as she descended into the dark depths of the water.
The grotto was silent once again. Rosetta and Annette found themselves alone, sitting before the still waters before them. The blond sighed and looked to the rose-haired woman. The flower spirit simply shrugged her shoulder and offered other human woman a smile.
(- End of Chapter IV -)
It might seem odd that Balthazar hasn't had that much to do in the last two chapters. I hope this chapter explains a few things- such as where
he's been, as well as building the storyline. He'll return in the next chapter. I'm going to bring the focus back to Balthazar and Annette again. I want to focus on the nature of their relationship more.
