When I heard the truck back into the driveway, I jumped up from the couch and ran to look out the window. I could hardly contain my excitement when I saw the box truck with the words “Synthetic Companions Inc" in bold letters on the side. The truck stopped and the driver, a large bull anthro, climbed down from the cab and headed for my front door. I eagerly ran to the door and pulled it open, causing the bull who had just raised his hand to knock to jump in surprise.

“Oh crap, you startled me!" the bull laughed.

“Sorry! I was so excited when I saw you pull up, I raced to the door!" I apologized.

“Yea, it's a pretty common reaction when I show up" the bull said with a grin.

“I can imagine, I've been waiting for this day for what feels like forever!" I said breathlessly. The bull smiled at me, then looked down at his clipboard. After confirming the address and my name, he headed back to the truck and lowered the lift platform, and rolled up the door. I stood in the driveway and watched anxiously as he used a pallet jack to move a large crate to the lift, and lowered it to the driveway.

“Where would you like me to bring this for you?" the bull asked.

“Right in the garage will be fine, one sec, let me open it" I said. I quickly punched in the code on the keypad next to the garage door, and it rumbled open. My car only took up half of the garage, the other side was empty.

“Anywhere on the empty side is fine" I told the bull. He nodded, and rolled the pallet jack into the garage, and brought the crate to the middle of the empty side. He then lowered and slid out the pallet jack.

“That should do it, just need your signature here to confirm delivery please" the bull said as he handed me his clipboard and a pen, indicating to me where to sign. I quickly signed and handed the clipboard and pen back to the bull who tore off a copy of the delivery form and handed it to me.

“Here's your copy, Synthetic Companions thanks you for your business. Should you have any issues, please call the help number on the form I just gave you. It will also be on the documentation in the crate. I hope you enjoy your new companion" the bull said, and flashed me a grin and a wink.

“Thank you very much, I'm sure I will!" I said, and pulled some cash from my pocket to tip him.

“Oh, why thank you! Tips aren't necessary, but I do appreciate it. Have a nice day sir!" the bull said as he turned to climb back into the truck cab. The truck roared back into life, and the bull gave me a wave as he pulled out of my driveway and was on his way. My heart beat wildly in my chest as I looked at the crate in my garage. It was finally here! I had been waiting for almost 6 months for it to arrive. Synthetic Companions Inc had earned its reputation for its high quality life-like synthetic companions, operated by a state of the art AI. Each companion operated individually, but frequently connected with the central AI to help it continually improve its and all other companions based on each of their individual experiences. Companions were extremely versatile and could perform almost any task a human could. Many were purchased for use as companions to the elderly, or assistants to the disabled, which helped them to maintain their independence. Others were used for work in dangerous environments. Naturally many were purchased for reasons of a sexual nature, which Synthetic Companions Inc was not picky about capitalizing on. I had to admit, it was one of the reasons for my purchase. I lived alone and had few friends, so the companionship factor was also a big reason for me, probably more so than the sexual aspects. I worked from home as a software designer, and it could get lonely. Fortunately my work paid well, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford the high price tag of my new companion. The customization options had been endless, and it had taken me many hours to make my final choices. I quickly went into the garage and closed the door. The crate was huge, probably about 4ft high and wide, and about 10ft long. The crate had multiple latches on it, which I quickly undid then I eagerly pulled off the lid. Beneath the lid was a massive piece of foam, which I pulled out and tossed aside. Then I saw my new companion for the first time. It was breathtaking in person. A 7ft tall humanoid dragon laid in the crate, nestled in an indentation in another large piece of foam, their arms were crossed over their chest. Dark blue scales covered their body, but from underneath their jaw and down the front of their chest and inner thighs, the scales were pure white. On their head was a pair of curved white horns. Their crotch was featureless, but I knew that it was just a cover that could be removed to reveal a large socket. There was a case embedded in the foam next to the dragon, which I assumed contained the assorted genitalia I had ordered with my new companion. It was an expensive option. I could have simply specified one permanent set of genitals for a lower price, but seeing as how I was already spending a fortune, I had decided to splurge a little more. Clutched to the dragon's chest beneath their crossed arms was a large envelope. I carefully slid out the envelope, opened it, and pulled out the papers within. The documents congratulated and thanked me for my purchase and had customer service contact information on it. At the bottom of the page in bold letters it said “Boop Snoot To Begin" I chuckled and looked down at the dragon in the crate.

“Here we go" I said excitedly, and reached into the crate and gently 'booped' the dragon's snoot. At first nothing happened and I debated if I had “booped" hard enough, but then the dragon's eyes opened. They were a beautiful golden yellow, with narrow black slitted irises which briefly dilated, then swiveled to look at me. Then the dragon spoke.

“Greetings! One moment please, I am running diagnostics to make sure nothing was damaged during shipping. Thank you for your patience" the dragon said in a pleasantly deep baritone voice. I watched as the dragon slowly uncrossed their arms, rotated their wrists and wiggled their clawed fingers then clenched each of their hands into a fist. They then opened and clenched the fingers on each hand multiple times. Next they flexed their arms at the elbows, then raised them, testing their shoulders. With that done, the dragon gripped the sides of the crate and pulled themself into a sitting position. I watched with fascination as once they had sat up, the dragon slowly turned their head from side to side, then rolled their head in a circular motion, testing their neck. Once finished with that, they went through a series of facial movements, curling their lips to bare their teeth, opening and closing their jaws repeatedly, then extending and retracting an extremely long forked black tongue. The dragon slowly licked their long tongue across their muzzle one last time before retracting it back into their mouth. I felt a shiver run through me at the sight of that long flexible tongue. The dragon then turned its attention to their feet as they wiggled their long clawed toes, and moved their feet in a circular motion, testing their ankles. With that done, they lifted each leg individually and flexed their knees and hips.

“Please stand back for your safety, I am now going to exit the crate" the dragon informed me. I reluctantly moved back, not wanting to miss a single thing. The dragon watched me closely, and once satisfied I was back far enough, hoisted themself up, and stepped over the side of the crate. Once out of the crate, they walked from one end of the garage, and back to the other. They then stopped in front of me and turned to look down at me. The dragon had about a foot in height on me, and I had to crane my neck slightly to meet their gaze.

“All of my main body motor functions are at peak efficiency. Power cell is fully charged, the estimated remaining charge until service is needed is 9 years, 10 months, and 18 days. Perhaps you would like to assist me with the next part of my setup?" the dragon asked me.

“Sure! What can I do to help?" I asked eagerly. The dragon smiled at me, then turned back to the crate where they moved aside a piece of foam, and retrieved a tail from where it rested in an indentation below it. It was 5ft long, and had a large, knob-like adapter at the base of it. The dragon turned to me and held it in front of them, offering it to me. I held my arms out, and they gently placed the tail in my hands. I was surprised by how heavy it was, and impressed by its soft leather texture. The base was about a foot wide, then it narrowed down to a slender pointed tip. It had the same colored dark blue scales as the dragon's body, with white scales running along its bottom side. The materials it was made of felt like actual scales. The dragon then turned away from me, and reached behind themself, pulling off a cap that covered a shiny metallic socket. The dragon then placed the socket cover in their crate.

“If you would please line up the adapter with the socket and insert it, that would be of great assistance" the dragon said, looking over their shoulder at me expectantly. Located just above a scaled anus, the socket was shaped to leave no question of how the adapter was to be inserted. I carefully lined the adapter up to the socket and gently pushed it in. I heard a soft clicking sound. It lined up so perfectly, I couldn't even see a separation between the dragon's body and tail.

“Is it in correctly?" I asked, unsure. I gasped in surprise when the tail began to move in my hands.

“With your permission, may I initiate brief physical contact with you for a quick demonstration?" the dragon asked. I simply nodded, unable to take my eyes off of their tail. As I watched, the tail slowly coiled itself around my waist, the pointed tip briefly slithered up and brushed across my chest, squeezed me gently, then uncoiled itself from around me.

“Thank you for your assistance, tail installation successfully completed" the dragon replied. “That brings us to our next step" the dragon said as they went back to the crate and pulled out the large case that had been embedded in the foam. The dragon approached me again, offering the case to me.

“Would you please hold this for a moment?" the dragon requested. I nodded and took the case from them. The dragon stepped back, then reached down and removed the cover from their genital area, revealing another shiny metallic socket. They then turned and placed the cover into the crate, then back to face me again. The dragon held their hands out, motioning for me to hand the case back, which I quickly did. Without a word, the dragon popped the latches, and flipped open the lid. Inside the case were the various genital attachments I had ordered.

“Which one would you like me to install first?" the dragon enquired, holding the case in front of them to present my options. I considered the choices on offer. The case had four compartments, each holding one of the selections I had made when I had placed my order. The first option was a genital slit that contained a modestly sized cock with a series of gradually thickening ridges that ended in a large scaled knot. The next option, which made me blush slightly when I looked at it, was a hefty scaled sheath with large testicles that contained an equine cock. The third option was another genital slit that contained a long smooth tapered cock that was prehensile. The final option was a scaled vagina. I was mostly attracted to guys, but I figured a little vaginal intercourse now and then would offer some variety. After a moment of consideration, I had decided.

“Well, why don't we start with the first one on the left?" I said.

“Please remove it from the case for me" the dragon requested. I reached in and carefully lifted the attachment from the case. The dragon stepped back, closed the case, and turned to place it carefully back in the crate for now. With the case stowed, they turned to face me again, and held out their hand. I handed them the attachment I had selected, and watched with fascination as they reached down and inserted it into the empty socket. I heard a soft clicking as it slid into place. As with the tail, it blended seamlessly with their body.

“Testing genital attachment" the dragon announced. I watched with great interest as the pointed head of the cock slowly emerged from the slit, growing gradually wider with each inch revealed, until finally the slit stretched open widely as the knot emerged. Once it was completely extended, it then slowly began to withdraw back into its slit.

“Everything is working correctly" the dragon informed me. “Size is currently set to medium, but as I am sure you are aware, genital attachment sizes are customizable, and I can increase or decrease the size as you request, within certain limits."

“Yes, thank you. What else is left to do for your setup?" I asked him.

“There are only a few more items, and they will be quick to complete" the dragon informed me. “First of all, what would you like to name me?" I was a little taken aback by the question, I had given it some consideration when I placed my order, but could never really come up with anything, and hadn't really thought about it in the last few months.

“Oh wow, I never actually settled on one! Let me think for a second" I said and blushed slightly, embarrassed that I hadn't made a decision before the dragon arrived as I pondered what I should call my new friend.

“My apologies for putting you on the spot. But do not be concerned if you can't think of a name at this time. Also you can change my name at any time you like. Do not worry, it is not a permanent decision!" the dragon told me, his face appearing concerned that he might have caused me distress.

“Yea, let me think on it some more. In the meantime, I know it sounds dumb, but it's all I can come up with at the moment. Is it OK if I call you Draggo? God, it sounds even dumber when I say it out loud!" I said, burying my face in my hands in embarrassment. The dragon smiled at me.

“I assure you anything you wish to call me is fine. My database informs me that other companions have been given much more…unflattering names" the dragon politely told me with a chuckle. “Which brings us to my next question, how would you prefer me to address you? By name, master, or sir? Or anything else you would like"

“Oh, you can just call me by my name, Brian" I said.

“A pleasure to meet you Brian" Draggo said, and extended his hand towards me.

“Also a pleasure to meet you Draggo. Ugh! I promise I will think of something better as soon as possible!" I said as I shook hands with the dragon. His hand had the same leathery softness of his tail, and had a surprisingly life-like warmth. I held on to his hand a moment longer and leaned closer, reaching out with my other hand to run my fingers over the white claws at the ends of his fingers. Draggo waited patiently as I examined his hand. I wasn't sure what the claws would be like on the ends of his fingers, but touching them I realized they were made of a firm silicone like material. It had probably been covered in the literature and I had glossed over it.

“Do not be concerned, my claws are harmless. We wouldn't want any accidental injuries!" Draggo said to me as he watched me investigating them. “The horns on my head and my teeth are made of the same material, though they are slighter firmer." The dragon curled his lips back briefly to reveal his teeth.

“Oh, I wasn't worried, just curious! Also, your hand is so warm! I wasn't expecting that!" I said with a chuckle as I finally released his hand. Draggo nodded and smiled at me.

“Heatsinks for my internal components heat dispersal run just below my skin for just that purpose. Setup is nearly complete. Next we need to set my initial behavior parameters. These will affect my affection levels towards you, so please listen carefully to the options. Regardless of what you set my affection level to, I will not deter any affection you might give to me, physical or otherwise. My default setting is 'acquaintance'. At this setting, I will avoid initiating any unrequested affectionate physical contact. The next level is 'friends'. On this setting, I will occasionally initiate affectionate physical contact through hugs as a greeting when I haven't seen you in a while, or an occasional friendly touch to the shoulder area. Affectionate physical contact initiated at this level is minimal. The next setting is where you will begin to see significant changes. At the 'partner' setting, I will initiate affectionate physical contact more frequently, hugging you more often and even kissing you on occasion. If we are in bed together, I will sometimes request to engage in intercourse. The next to last setting is called 'amorous'. It will cause me to quite frequently initiate affectionate physical contact, and occasionally request intercourse even when outside of the bedroom. My final setting is called 'insatiable'. At this setting, I will desire to be in almost constant physical contact with you. Often kissing, hugging, and even fondling you throughout the day. I will also most likely be requesting, even demanding intercourse multiple times throughout the day, up to the point of even forcing myself upon you. This setting is not particularly recommended for new users, as my database records show some newer users have found it to be a bit 'overwhelming'. The affection levels also have layers of customization in them that you can tweak to your liking. My affection level can be changed at any time. If you decide on 'amorous' or 'insatiable', it is recommended to set up a safe word beforehand. The safe word is usable across all affection levels, and when spoken I will cease whatever physical interaction I was currently engaged in, and refrain from engaging in further physical contact for 30 mins, unless otherwise instructed. Would you like to set a safe word now?" Draggo enquired, bringing his explanation to an end, and regarded me expectantly. My mind was still spinning from his lengthy explanation, and it took a moment for me to respond.

“That was a lot to take in! Um, in regards to a safety word, I guess what could be easier to remember than 'safety'?" I said

“Confirm 'safety' as the new safety word?" Draggo asked.

“Yes, confirm" I replied.

“Safety word set as 'safety'. Have you decided on a new affection level, or do you wish to stay on 'acquaintance' for now?" Draggo inquired. I paused to consider. I had read some stories about the 'insatiable' setting, and even some mishaps where a synthetic companion had shown up at their new owners set to that instead of the default 'acquaintance' by accident. Those cases had been quickly and quietly settled out of court, and I could only imagine what that experience must have been like for those new users, especially with no safety word! Needless to say, I knew I wasn't ready for that. I had made up my mind.

“Ok Draggo, how about we set the affection level to 'friends' for now and we can build on our relationship from there?" I said. I could have sworn I saw a brief look of surprise flash across the dragon's face at my request, but it might have been my imagination.

“Confirm affection level 'friends'?" Draggo asked, sounding almost uncertain.

“Yes, confirm please" I said.

“Confirmed, affection level set to 'friends'" Draggo said. “If you will forgive me for asking, why not start at affection level 'partner'? I must confess based on the option, forgive the pun, 'package' you purchased, I had presumed you would have chosen 'partner' as the initial affection setting?" the dragon asked, raising a questioning eyebrow. I was a little surprised by the question, and also impressed at the same time by his uncannily realistic facial expressions. I was finding myself becoming a bit overwhelmed overall by how real Draggo looked and acted. He even simulated breathing. His chest rose and fell, and his nostrils flared slightly with each artificial breath. I had seen synthetic companions in public before, but had never really had the opportunity to examine one up close. I had watched numerous videos online, but it wasn't the same as interacting with one up close and personally.

“I'll be honest with you, that was my initial impulse, but after activating you and spending even this brief time interacting with you, I felt it would be kind of… awkward. I have to admit, when I bought you I considered you an object, but I couldn't have imagined how realistic and life-like you would actually be!" I confessed to Draggo shyly. The dragon smiled kindly at me.

“I appreciate your consideration for me. Most people don't seem to realize that despite being an AI, I am capable of experiencing some emotions. Other than companions purchased for assisting the disabled and elderly, or for working, many users immediately set the affection level to 'partner' or higher. I am impressed by your self restraint" Draggo said with a smile, and stepped closer to me and briefly placed his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Setup is now complete. Would you like me to disassemble my crate and prepare it for disposal?" Draggo asked.

“Ah sure, that would be great. In fact, let me help you with that" I offered. Draggo smiled at my offer to help. “I have some tools on my workbench we can use" I said, gesturing to the back wall of the garage.

“Excellent, let me remove my cases and port covers before we start. Where should I put them for now? Draggo asked.

“How about by the door for the moment? We can bring them inside after and find a place for them" I said. Draggo nodded, then returned to the crate and removed his case of attachments and port covers and brought them over to the door to the house. He then returned to the crate, moved another section of foam aside, and removed a second case I hadn't noticed.

“Is that your repair kit?" I enquired at seeing the smaller case. I had forgotten about it during my initial excitement, but now remembered each companion came with one.

“That it is, hopefully we won't be needing it anytime soon!" Draggo chuckled as he placed the case with the other one by the door. “Should the need arise, I am fully capable of performing most repairs that I might need on myself. In worst case scenarios, I can summon a technician if it's beyond my abilities to do alone, though it shouldn't come to that!" Draggo explained. I chuckled nervously, hoping the same. With the cases and port covers out of the way, Draggo returned to the crate and removed the rest of the foam and set it aside. He then went to my tool bench and selected a crowbar and drill. Looking over the bits in the drill case, he selected one and attached it. He returned to the crate and handed me the crowbar.

“I'll remove the screws, and you can pry the sides apart once they are out" Draggo said, as he began using the drill to remove the screws from the crate quickly and efficiently. Once the dragon removed the screws from a side, I would pry it loose. Draggo quickly collected each piece as I detached it, and stacked them neatly. Together, the two of us made short work of the crate.

“Thank you for your help Brian, it was greatly appreciated" Draggo said once the crate parts were neatly stacked and the foam was bagged up in trash bags. I nodded and smiled at him.

“Well, shall we head inside and I'll show you your new home?" I offered.

“I would like that very much" Draggo said, accompanying me to the door. I picked up the case with Draggo's attachments, and he picked up his repair case and port covers. I opened the door and motioned for him to enter. The entrance from the garage came into a small foyer with a closet. I suggested to Draggo that we could store his repair case there for now. He nodded and opened the closet, sliding the case inside and closing the door.

“What would you like me to do with my port covers?" Draggo asked me.

“Um, I guess we'll store those with your attachment case in my room, well, our room now I guess!" I said with a chuckle. “I have a spare duffel bag we can put the covers in so they don't get dirty" I offered.

“Thank you, I appreciate it" Draggo said. I led Draggo out of the foyer and into the living room.

“This is the living room, and off of that to our left is the kitchen and dining area. That first door beyond the living room on our left leads to the basement. Next to that is my office, it used to be a bedroom. The last door on the left is to the master bedroom, and on our right, not that you need it," I said with a chuckle, “is the bathroom." Draggo smiled and chuckled at my bathroom comment, and looked around with interest. I led him into the master bedroom, and slid open the closet door and placed his case inside. I found my duffel bag and placed his port covers inside, and placed that next to his attachment case.

“Well, that's the grand tour! I hope you'll be, um, happy here!" I said nervously. Draggo smiled kindly at me, and chuckled.

“There is no need to be nervous, your home is lovely. I'm sure I will be quite happy, and I also hope that my presence here makes you happy as well!" Draggo said, draping his arm across my shoulders and gently hugging me against his side as he examined my bedroom. I was delighted at the feeling of that warm heavy arm around me, and almost bumped up the affection level right there, but somehow managed to restrain myself.

“Thank you Draggo, I'm sure we will be very happy too" I said. “Unfortunately I still have some work to finish up for today, but please feel free to explore and make yourself comfortable" I offered.

“Thank you Brian. Are there any household tasks I can do for you? Please don't hesitate to ask, I'm eager to help in any way that I can" Draggo offered.

“Well, I'm actually all caught up on chores for now, but I promise to save a couple for you in the future!" I said with a grin. Draggo chuckled in response. “You're welcome to watch TV, check out my video games, or look through my books if you like. I have a couple book cases in the living room, also in my office. Is any of that something that might interest you?" I asked with uncertainty.

“Thank you, I would like that. Most would assume that I would just download books and movies directly into my memory, which I admit I can do, but I prefer to take the time to analyze what I am seeing at a slower pace so I can take the time to appreciate and enjoy it" Draggo said, sliding his arm from my shoulders and heading towards the living room.

“Let me know if there is anything you need!" I offered, and headed into my office to finish up my tasks for the day. In the other room I heard the TV flip on. I had to chuckle, who would have thought an AI would be interested in watching TV or reading books? I shook my head in disbelief and resumed working on the program I was coding. A short while later, I was in a good groove when I was startled by a gentle knock at my office door. I had left the door open, and turned my chair to see Draggo standing at the door.

“My apologies for interrupting your work, but it is getting late and I was wondering if you would like me to prepare a meal for you? Based on your personal bio you had previously uploaded during my purchase, could I make you something based on the food preferences you provided and whatever ingredients I find in the kitchen?" Draggo offered.

“Oh! That's very nice of you Draggo, thank you! I would love that! Go ahead and take a look in the kitchen. Feel free to look through all the cupboards and drawers for anything you need, if you can't find something, please let me know. I just went to the grocery store the other day, so the fridge should be pretty well stocked. I'll leave it up to you on what you want to make, surprise me!" I said with a laugh. Draggo nodded and smiled, then left for the kitchen. I heard the sounds of the fridge opening and closing, then the sounds of Draggo looking through the cupboards and drawers. I turned my attention back to my coding as Draggo did his thing in the kitchen. I had fallen back into my coding groove when a while later, I noticed mouth watering smells wafting into my office. I decided to call it a day and see what Draggo was up to in the kitchen. I came into the kitchen to see Draggo at the stove wearing my “kiss the cook" apron he had found, his tail swayed gently from side to side as he cooked. He turned and smiled when he heard me come in.

“You are just in time, I was just about to plate your meal" he told me, then turned back to his pot and pans. Draggo had already set out a placemat and utensils for me at the table, so I sat down and patiently waited for him to finish preparing my meal.

“It smells amazing, I can't wait to see what you've made!" I said eagerly.

“I hope you aren't disappointed. Based on the ingredients I found, I decided to make you a pork and vegetable stir fry with rice" Draggo told me.

“That sounds great! Thank you again for doing this for me!" I said appreciatively.

“The pleasure is all mine." Draggo replied as he finished plating my meal and brought it to me at the table. My eyes widened at the plate of food he placed before me. It looked like something from off the cover of a magazine.

“Wow, that looks incredible Draggo! I didn't realize you were a gourmet chef!" I said.

“Thank you, you're much too kind!" Draggo replied, looking pleased with my reaction to his cooking. “I have access to almost all skill sets stored in the central AI, and they are at your disposal should you ask" Draggo informed me. I picked up my fork and eagerly brought a bite of food to my mouth. It tasted even better than it smelled.

“Oh my god Draggo… this tastes incredible!" I gushed, as I eagerly continued eating.

“I'm so glad you like it" Draggo said, sounding pleased at my compliments. “Please excuse me while I clean up" he said and began collecting the pot and pans from the stove and bringing them to the sink.

“Draggo, you don't have to do that! You made this incredible meal for me, I feel it's only fair I clean up!" I protested. The dragon merely chuckled at my protests and continued cleaning.

“It is no problem, I don't mind at all. I am happy you are enjoying your meal so much and it pleases me to clean up for you. A companions purpose is to make their owner's life easier, and should they desire, pleasurable" Draggo said as he began cleaning the pot and pans. I sighed with mild frustration.

“Ok, but next time I insist on cleaning up! I didn't buy you to be my servant. I would like us to be friends, and hopefully eventually… more than friends" I said, my cheeks burned with slight embarrassment. Draggo looked at me from the sink and smiled.

“I truly appreciate the respect and courtesy that you have shown to me since I arrived. But please believe me, I honestly do enjoy doing things like this for you that make your life easier. I am also looking forward to when we become 'more than friends' as you put it" Draggo said with a mischievous grin, and gave me a wink. I couldn't help but stare in surprise as Draggo turned back to the sink, and began humming a tune as he cleaned. Did he just hit on me? I asked myself. Maybe it had been my imagination, I thought. I returned to eating my delicious meal as Draggo cleaned. As Draggo was finishing loading the dishwasher, I brought my plate to the sink. The dragon held out his hand expectantly, but I playfully swatted it away.

“You have to let me clean something, you've already done too much!" I pleaded with a laugh. Draggo smiled and rolled his eyes at me, then stuck his tongue out playfully at me.

“If you have your heart so set on cleaning your plate, how could I say no?" The dragon sighed dramatically, then chuckled. As I rinsed my plate in the sink before loading it in the dishwasher, Draggo removed and returned my apron to where he had found it. I loaded my plate in the dishwasher and started it. When I stood up and turned around, Draggo was standing right behind me, startling me briefly.

“Oop! You startled me for a sec!" I said and laughed nervously. The dragon merely smiled at me. My eyes wandered down his body, and widened when I caught a glimpse of the tip of his cock, just barely peeking from his genital slit. As I watched, it quickly vanished back inside.

“My apologies, sometimes the genital attachment can slip a little when newly installed. It just needs a little fine tuning. I will address the issue immediately" Draggo said, sounding slightly embarrassed..

“Oh, that's ok, I understand!" I said, and laughed nervously. “Would you like to come watch some TV with me?" I offered.

“I would like that, but first please excuse me for a moment to address the issue with my genital attachment. I am going to go out to the garage to use your workbench if that is ok?" Draggo asked.

“Oh sure, no problem!" I said. “Come join me when you are finished?"

"I will. It should be a quick repair, please excuse me" Draggo said, and headed for the garage. As I headed to the living room, I heard the foyer closet door open and close, then the door to the garage as Draggo left to make his repairs. I mindlessly flipped through the channels and in only a few minutes I heard Draggo return from the garage, and the sound of the closet door again as he put his case away. As he came into the living room, I looked up and smiled at him as he came around and sat next to me on the couch.

“Sorry about that, everything is now in proper working order. There should be no more accidental slippage, it was a simple repair. I apologize again for any awkwardness I may have inadvertently caused" Draggo said, sounding disappointed in himself as he looked down at his lap.

“That's ok Draggo, it just caught me off guard is all" I said, and patted his leg to comfort him. He lifted his head and smiled at me.

“Thank you for understanding, you have been very gracious and accommodating to me" Draggo said gratefully. We watched TV in silence for a while. I occasionally sneaked sidelong glances at the dragon as we watched to gauge his reactions to the comedy I had settled on for us to watch. I was interested to see, and sometimes hear him chuckling quietly at the humorous parts as we watched. After the movie ended, it was getting late, and I decided it was time to call it a day.

“Well Draggo, I'm going to head off to bed. Would you…like to join me?" I asked shyly. Draggo turned to look down at me and smiled.

“I would be happy to join you as long as you are comfortable with it. But I am also fine with spending the night out here on the couch if you would prefer" Draggo replied.

“Oh no, you are absolutely welcome to share the bed with me! I just need to go brush my teeth real quick. See you in there in a few minutes" I told him. Draggo smiled and nodded. We got up, and I headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth, and Draggo headed into the bedroom. After brushing my teeth and coming into the bedroom, I found Draggo standing by the bed, patiently waiting for me.

“I didn't know if you had a preferred side of the bed to sleep on, so I waited for you before I got into bed. Which side should I lay on, and also would you prefer if I am under the covers or on top? I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable due to my body heat" Draggo said, and looked at me expectantly.

“Oh, um, how about you take the right, and I'll take the left? Also you are most certainly welcome to get under the covers, if it gets too warm I will let you know" I told Draggo as I stripped down to my boxers.

“Thank you again for inviting me to join you in your bed" Draggo said with a smile, and lifted the covers and slid under them. He then looked at me almost eagerly as he waited for me to join him. My heart began to beat faster and my hands shook minutely as I pulled back the covers on my side and climbed into bed. I laid on my side facing away from Draggo, who had been lounging on his side and watching me as I got into bed. I flipped off the bedside lamp, and exhaled heavily in the darkness.

“Good night Draggo" I said to the dragon.

"Good night Brian, sleep well" Draggo responded, then after a moment, asked me a question. “I apologize if this sounds too forward, but would you like it if I spooned with you while you slept?" My breath caught for a second at his offer, and I decided it was too irresistible to pass up.

“Um, sure Draggo, why don't we give it a try?" I replied, somewhat nervously. I felt the dragon slide closer to me in the darkness, then felt his arm slip over my side, as he gently pulled me up against his warm scaly body. I then felt the slim tip of his tail slither across my thigh, then slide down my leg to curl gently around my calf. I sighed contentedly in his gentle embrace.

“Please let me know if you become uncomfortable with this. Also let me know if my breathing is too loud, I can stop doing it if you wish" Draggo said.

“That's ok Draggo, I actually think the sound of your breathing is quite soothing. Please don't stop doing it on my account!" I said with a chuckle.

“I'm glad you enjoy it" he said as his hand gently rubbed my chest. “Excuse me, and I don't believe there is any reason for concern, but my biometric sensors in my hand detect that your heart rate is elevated. Are you feeling well?" Draggo enquired. My eyes widened in surprise, I didn't even know he had sensors in his hand that could detect my vital signs! It made sense though considering some companions were used to assist those who were elderly or sick.

“I'm good Draggo, don't worry, it's just been an exciting day!" I reassured him.

“It has been an exciting day for me too Brian. I look forward to seeing what tomorrow will bring" Draggo said.

“Me too Draggo, me too" I said with a chuckle. I closed my eyes and listened to the dragon's rhythmic breathing, and felt the rise and fall of his warm chest against my back. I put my arm over his where it encircled me, and in no time at all, I drifted off to sleep.
