Alex looked out the passenger door window and found herself staring at the seemingly same stretch of flat grassy expanse, sometimes punctuated by a rock or a tree. She frowned and turned to Kelly.

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" She asked.

"Of course I do, honey," Kelly said without looking up from the road. "Twenty miles south of the Menagerie as the crow flies, right?" His eyes momentarily flitted to Alex. "That's what the little guy said, right?"

"Little guy? You mean the gnome?"

"Yeah, I guess." He shrugged. "Or was it a halfling? Or...kobold?"

"No, sweetie, kobolds have scales."

"Right. You know I'm not great with this Mythic stuff."

"You're going to have to get used to it. Welcome to the 21st century."

"Not yet. We've still got a few more months."

"And how many more miles?"

"I don't know." Kelly smiled. "Just keep an eye out for it."

"Fine." Alex turned back to viewing the flatlands. "Hey, what was its name again?"

"Uh..."

Alex looked to Kelly expectantly.

Though he kept his eyes on the road, he seemed to notice her stare. He cracked a smile and laughed nervously.

"Can't recall if there was a name for the smoke shop. No..." He shook his head. "I don't think so. But how many mythic smoke shops can there be?"

"Perfect," Alex said. "I'll look for a nameless building where there are no buildings."

"Sorry, hun. I'm sure it has a name. Maybe something smoky? Like...Smolder or . . . "

"Smolder?" Now it was Alex's turn to laugh. "Now that sounds stupid."

"I don't know, hun. Just trust me, we'll--hey, what's that?"

Kelly pointed, and Alex followed his finger to a billboard coming up the road. She squinted at the barely legible letters.

"Crumbly cottage?" She read. "That's..."

Noticing something beneath the billboard, she lowered her gaze and blinked. In the distance the road split both left and right, and there was a cluster of buildings on the left.

"Is that what it said?" Kelly asked. "I thought these buildings were--"

"Where did they come from?" Alex murmured.

"I don't know." Kelly motioned towards them. "They were just there. Maybe since you were looking sideways..." he shrugged with a smirk. "What can I say? Welcome to the 21st century."

"Oh, shut up," Alex said, still smiling. "I'll keep an eye out for the nameless building that may or may not have Smolder in its name."

"Hey!" Kelly grinned as well. "It's a good guess. What's yours?"

Alex watched as the buildings came closer and closer. They looked normal enough, just a shopping center out of in the middle of nowhere, though there were a few cars on the road around it, which was more than could be said about the last twenty minutes.

"I don't know," Alex admitted.

"You don't know? Oh come on, that's hardly fair. You're giving me a hard time about Smolder, and yet you won't even make your own guess. Come on, give me something to make fun of too."

"Alright, alright." Alex leaned back as she thought. "Smoky's?"

"Smokey's? Like the bear? That's even worse than mine!"

"No there's no e and--"

"And what, now you expect me to be able to read what you say?"

Alex rolled her eyes. "I never said I had a better name."

"That's true," he said. "That's true. Maybe it just has no name?"

"Then how are we supposed to find it?"

"The Hobbit--"

"Gnome."

"--gnome said we'll know it when we see it." He frowned. "Maybe these directions do suck." He shrugged. "Whatever. Your eyes right, mine left, here we go."

They had reached the fork and of course, they turned left. Alex looked out her window at the buildings as they neared them.

"That's a supermarket," she said. "And a--" she squinted. "A gas station where the croc does the pumpin'? Huh."

"I think a gnome just passed us," Kelly remarked as a rather large lifted truck zipped past them. He laughed. "He had a booster seat!"

"Church of Varisth'low?" Kelly murmured, peering at a slightly run down squarish structure that didn't look much like a church at all. Her eyes moved to the building next to it. "And a television repair shop?"

"There's that crumbly cottage," Alex said. "No-- Crumb's Cottage? Looks abandoned. I wonder why it has an ad. Mmm, you hungry, hun? Looks like there's a nice little sandwich shop that--"

"Slow down and take a right," Kelly said, then tapped at her window. "I think this is it."

"Sure, but what's it? I--oh."

Alex slowed down as directed and pulled into a mostly empty parking lot situated near a cluster of shops. The one that Kelly had seen and suspected was the smoke shop they were looking for was off to the side, a flat square building with a black storefront that had the words "Hookah Bar" stenciled in yellow on its windows as its only discriminating feature.

"Huh," Kelly said as he guided the car into a parking spot closer to a diner than the hookah bar. "Seems sort of plain, and plain is usually nothing new." He looked to Alex. "What do you think, hun? Still wanna check it out?"

"Yes, sweetie," Alex said. "We didn't go twenty miles south of the Menagerie as the crow flies to turn around." She reached over and squeezed his shoulder. "We're here, aren't we?" "Right." Kelly said, putting the car in park and removing the keys. He looked at the black windowed building. "Something new. That's why we came. You ready?"

Alex nodded and was about to step out of the car when Kelly said, "What."

"What is it?" she asked.

Kelly simply smiled and leaned forward to give her a quick kiss on her forehead. Before Alex could react, he opened his door and stepped out of the car.

"What was that for?" she asked with a small smile, likewise exiting the car. The couple met near the front of the car, on the sidewalk near the diner.

"Just a little thanks, for letting me take you somewhere based on a halfling's weird directions."

"You took us somewhere." She shook her head and started walking towards the hookah bar. "And it was a gnome."

"Right, right," he said, following after her. Soon enough, they stood in front of the bar. Kelly looked over the yellow letters. "I guess we were both wrong. Neither Smoky's nor Smolder." He sniffed. "I can't smell anything."

"That's a good sign," Alex said. "A hookah place that stinks...well, it stinks."

"You would know."

"You would know," Alex laughed. "You have no standards."

Kelly raised a hand. "No, it's that I have a low floor for this stuff. You have an impossibly high ceiling."

"Whatever." Alex rolled her eyes and stepped forward, one hand on the bar door's handle. "Let's trying something new."

She opened the door and stepped in, Kelly squeezing in with his slightly larger frame after her even as the door shut quickly behind them.

"Um," Kelly said. "Is this right?"

The room they found themself in was small, its walls black and slightly shiny and the floors covered with vaguely Arabic rugs. Or was it Indian? Alex wasn't sure, and neither did she really care, for more intriguing was the set of stairs that spiraled upwards at the far left corner of the room.

"There's stairs," Kelly said. "How can there be stairs?"

Alex wondered this herself. The building they had just entered had been squat, and yet the stairs so near to them rose higher than the structure's supposed height.

"Oh geez," Kelly said, scratching the back of his neck. "This is one of those weird places. It's like the Menagerie, isn't it?"

"Let's hope so," Alex said.

"Let's hope not." Kelly made a face, then smiled anyways. "I mean, it was fun and all, but I'm still a little sore from that tentacle."

Alex smiled. "You only had one."

"I didn't think I would have any, but surprise! That foxy--"

What Kelly meant to say drifted off into silence as two sleek shapes slithered into view. Instinctively, Alex took a step back but then took two forward as curiosity overwhelmed her. Standing entertwined in front of her were two creatures of some sort, black, sleek, and serpentine in shape and synthetic in material, their length at least twelve feet, their width no thicker than Kelly's relatively trim arms and their uniform coloration shining slightly just like the walls. Though they resembled snakes, they had no discernible scales, and their heads were without any features that might have given them a visage. Instead, their serpentine snouts were smooth and sleek like the rest of their body. Still, even without eyes, Alex felt like she was being looked at by one, analyzed even, and the other seemed to be doing the same to Kelly, though the two serpents made no motion to suggest so. Despite this and their features, Alex was more intrigued than disgusted by the pair.

"Hey little guys," Kelly said, waving at the synthetic serpent pair. "We're here for the hookah lounge. No tentacles please!"

In response, the serpents separated and slithered towards the couple. Kelly took a step back, but Alex stood still as the serpents slid over the couple. Alex shivered at first, but then relaxed, for the sensation of the serpent's smooth synthetic surface was surprisingly warm as it slid around her legs and slithered up her torso to rest momentarily on her shoulders, head momentarily poking at her unbraided hair, before it swooped down her front, it and its twin slithering away from the couple to entwine again, their featureless heads staring at the opposite of whom they had examined.

"Well..." Kelly said, straightening out his back and keeping his eyes on the snake. "That was...something. Wonder what a massage from them would feel like..." He shrugged. "No tentacles at least."

"Not yet," Alex said.

"Hey, don't joke about that. I'm seriously still sore. We're just here for hookah, right?" He pointed a finger at the serpents. "Shows us the smoke or I'm taking my chances at the diner."

At this, the serpents separated and slithered over to the stairs. They swiveled their heads back, entwined their tails momentarily, separated again, and then slithered up the stairs and out of sight.

"Huh," Alex grunted. "Do you think we--?"

Kelly nodded and stepped towards the stairs. She placed her hand on the railing and looked over to Alex.

"Aren't you coming, sweetie?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said. "On one condition: tentacles and we're out."

Alex laughed and stepped up the stairs. She heard Kelly grumble something, but soon heard him behind her as they both ascended. They climbed higher and higher and higher, the sound of the serpents slithering above keeping them going. They continued to climb and climb until Alex began to wonder if there really was an end. She laughed and swore she heard her laughter echo in a thousand different distortions, but soon she stepped out of the top of the stairs into a dimly lit lounge. The synthetic serpents were waiting at the top, coiled around each other. Alex looked past them to the rest of the lounge.

It was a rather large lounge, its expansive floor and walls seemingly constructed of the same swirling black material as the snakes and room below. Differing furniture dotted the lounge floor without any real pattern: round tables, square tables, triangular tables, tables that did not conform to Euclidean geometry, chairs of differing sizes and shapes around the tables, couches, comforters, a few bookcases, and even several rather large beds. There were a few other individuals occupying some of the furniture with smoky hazes around them, but the dim lighting provided by softly glowing stones embedded in the ceiling and the oppressive smoke did little to aid in identifying the others. Whoever else was here, Alex could only barely make out that some were humanoid, some were not, but most likely none were fully human.

"Phew," said Kelly behind her. "Quite a climb. Never would have expected that from what it looked like on the outside." He spotted the serpents. "Hey, our pals are here! You snakes going to take us to the hookah bar?"

The serpents slithered away, still entwined together.

"I, uh..." Kelly scratched his head. "I guess we follow?"

"That's right," Alex said, taking Kelly by his hand. "We follow."

She followed after the snakes and only had to tug at Kelly a little to get the man moving. He squeezed her hand and walked a little faster to catch up with her.

"You know," he whispered. "I wasn't kidding about the tentacles."

"I know you weren't."

"Then why did you laugh? You know it's healthy to have limits."

"Of course. So what's our limit?"

"Uh..." Kelly glanced about. "To be honest...other than tentacles, I'm ready for anything." He spoke the next words fast. "I mean, if that's ok with you?"

"Sure. We're just here to smoke, right?"

"Yeah..." Kelly nodded towards a hazy bed that was emperor sized if anything. "Why do I have the feeling that won't be it?"

"Is that fine?"

"Of course it's fine!" Kelly said almost too quickly. "It's just..." he shook his head. "Say...do you know where these slithery things are taking us? I mean, I don't know if you're seeing what I'm seeing, but this place is weird."

"Yep."

"Pretty weird..."

Alex nodded.

"No, really weird. This smoke is strange. Do you, uh...do you think we're the only humans here?"

"Probably."

"Cool. That's...yeah, that's cool. I--" His eyes widened, and he pointed towards a booth that was really just a rock. "Ah, you missed it. Looked like there was a hydra making out with another hydra. Or was it the same one? Nah, they had a separate torsos ...and sets of breasts so--what am I talking about?"

Alex stopped, because the snakes had ceased slithering in front of a small, circular table carved of a golden material that glimmered under the low light. The snakes parted, going separate ways to coil their lower tails around two elegant padded chairs that they dragged towards the table, but not too close. Then each snake wrapped itself around its chairs' legs and looked towards the couple.

"How nice," Alex said. "Do you think they'll scoot us in too?"

"Yeah, top notch customer care," Kelly said. "Do you think they'll take tips?" He frowned. "Oh geez, I hope they take Visa. I forgot the cash, hun."

"And I didn't." She smiled and let go of Kelly's hand, not before giving him a kiss on his cheek. "Let's take our seat, dear."

They separated and sat down. The chairs were quite comfortable, and as it turned out, the serpents were stronger than their wiry frames suggested as they did indeed push the chairs in for them so that the couple were seated across from each other.

"Very nice," Kelly said. "Forget the climb, the real deception of this place was the fanciness. Hookah bar indeed!" He looked to the serpents that were now entwined in front of the table. "Say pals, how do we get our--"

The serpents separated and slithered off into the shadows. Kelly frowned and looked to Alex.

"I guess we wait?" he said. "Maybe they're going to go fetch the menu?"

"No," a new voice spoke, deep yet feminine and with a slight smoky, sultry taste to its tone. "That would be me."

The couple looked up and found the source of the voice belonged to a dragoness somehow stranger than their surroundings. She approached them in a quadrupedal stance, her shining black talons clicking against the floor, and her lithe, but large frame seeming to creak with each step. Though most of her scaled hide consisted of smoky grey scales, there were portions here and there that consisted of a smooth, silvery substance that seemed to wax and wane in their size and area of influence, most notably at the tip of her thick tail that swayed behind her, a stretch that wrapped around her neck and predominantly on one half of her face. Though she moved with a feral gait, she had a couple of humanoid characteristics, the most prominent of which were her wrapped up pair of swollen breasts upon her chest that wobbled with her movement. Though mostly covered by the same red silken cloth that was haphazardly draped over her skeletal wings, some of her back, her hindquarters, a portion of her underbelly and one of her hindlegs, it was impossible not to notice the pair that seemed ready to burst from their silky confines. While Kelly stared, entranced at the oddly juxtaposed jiggling mounds, Alex was far more interested in the dragon's head. Her eyes were cloudy, smoke seeming to dance within her pupils, and two silvery horns spiraled gracefully out of the back of her head. Her very serpentine snout was rather long and very, very toothy. A rather fat cigar jutted out of her maw, and though its end was red with cinders, no smoke came from it. Instead, two wispy trails of smoke trailed out of her silvery nostrils up to the ceiling.

Upon nearly reaching the table, the dragoness sat back on her haunches, her foreclaws resting on her knees while her silver tipped tail circled around her front. Though her form was slender and lithe, she still was quite a few feet taller than the seated humans. With her smoking, shimmering eyes, she looked down over the two humans and smiled a toothsome smile.

"How very interesting," she said, then dipped her head.

"Us?" Kelly said, still staring at the dragon's breasts. Alex elbowed him, and he lifted his gaze, smiling apologetically. "Not really, Alex and I are kind of boring. Just a happy human couple."

"I don't buy that," the dragoness purred, tilting her head, her neck squeaking and groaning from the movement. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, would you?"

"No," Alex said. "We wouldn't. We're here for--"

The dragoness raised a claw. "No, don't tell me. I already know."

"Psychic, huh?" Kelly said. "We really are a century ahead."

"No..." The dragoness's smiled deepened as she shook her ample chest, "It doesn't take a telepath to know what you're thinking."

"What?" Kelly's face turned red. "That's not fair. Of course if you just put them in front of me I'm going to think about them!"

The dragoness chuckled and turned to her head with a creak to look at Alex.

"But again, that's not really why you're here," the dragoness said. "You've come to my establishment because..." Her smoky eyes peered deeply into Alex. "Ah yes, of course. My serpents were right. You both would like to try something new, wouldn't you? New scents, new flavors, new sensations? A surprise for both of you?"

"Yes," Alex said with nod.

The dragoness raised her head back with a creak and laughed this time, a deep throated roar that caused more smoke to spew from her silvery nostrils. Alex looked to Kelly and saw a mixture of excitement and apprehension in his eyes. She smiled at him and reached across the table to squeeze his hand as the glimmering dragoness looked back down at both of them.

"I have something in mind then," the dragoness murmured. "Something quite new indeed. Would you two like that?"

"Sure," Kelly said. "But what would that entail?" He grinned sheepishly. "Not ... tentacles, right?"

"A surprise wouldn't be a surprise if it was known, would it?" the dragoness asked. "I could offer you anything you'd like, but only one would satisfy. Do you really think you already know what it is?"

"Uh," Kelly gulped. "I guess not."

"Well then..." The dragoness leaned forward, her bust heaving as she lowered her head to be between the two humans. Some smoke drifted out of her nostrils, enough for Alex to smell its sweetly spicy scent. Her swirling eyes looked apart, one at Alex and the other at Kelly. Alex smiled at the oddly silly sight while Kelly laughed nervously. "Do you accept satisfaction? Or would you accept anything else?"

Alex looked up Kelly, and their eyes met. She smiled at him, and him at her.

"Satisfaction," they both said at once.

"So it will be," the dragoness said, her tail waving behind her with a glint of silver. Alex saw two shapes slithering out of the corner of her eyes, but she kept her attention on the dragoness who still stared at Kelly and her. "My servants will attend to your every desire and satisfy what my offerings can otherwise not fulfill. I sincerely thank you for your patronage; it is not often I have guests such as you two. Would you like a sample of the satisfaction to come before I ensure others are likewise entertained?"

"A sample?" Kelly said as Alex nodded. "Sure."

The dragoness smiled and closed her eyes. A moment later, the smoke once trailing out of her nostrils streamed out, filling the air with silvery smoke.

"Breathe," the dragoness purred. "And enjoy."

The couple did as directed, taking in deep breaths of the silvery smoke. Though the stuff seemed dense, it filtered into their nostrils with ease, bringing a wonderful, soothing scent that was hard to place: smoky and raw yet delightfully light, images filtering in their minds of a glistening black beach and silver waves that lapped upon its shore, while similarly silver smoke rose into skies clouded by chrome. For a moment, Alex swore she could hear the waves splash across the shore and feel light winds caress her scales, and she relaxed. Then the sensation of scaled skin and the sound of the waves faded away, but she was still at ease, calm, and so was Kelly across from her.

She blinked as she realized that the dragoness was gone, but she had left something behind, hazy silvery smoke that lingered in a circle around the couple. She tried to look through the smoke but could only just barely make out indistinct shapes, and she certainly couldn't hear anything beyond it. Still, she looked for the dragoness's shape beyond, at least until two entwined serpentine shapes swam through the smoke, a hookah carried beneath their twisted coils. They slithered up the table and deposited the apparatus on the table, separating to take the hookah's two lines in either of their tails. They then slithered around so that they faced each other facelessly while offering the mouthpieces to the couple. Kelly and Alex took their lines, both staring at the hookah's bubbling glass basin. Inside was a liquid that could only be described as fire condensed into a liquid form, flickering and flowing with the color of the deepest blue flame.

"Well, hun," Kelly said, smiling. "I think we came to the right place."

Alex smiled back. "I think you're right, sweetie. Certainly seems like a hookah bar to me. Just a weird mythic one."

Kelly laughed, and Alex laughed along with him. She wasn't sure if it was just his company or the smoke, but she felt a little giddy. Any trepidation on both their parts had dissolved, the dragoness's sudden appearance and swift disappearance leaving only excitement behind. Or, Alex thought, it could have something to do with the sample, but she wasn't really in the right mood for analysis. She wanted to experience, not so much as think.

"Why don't we start?" she said.

"Ladies first," Kelly said.

Alex giggled and brought her line up to her lips. She stared into the swirling liquid within the basin and then inhaled deeply. The smoke came up quickly, and immediately filled her mouth with the taste of something strong and spicy. She exhaled some of the smoke that shined silver, but the flavor remained inside her mouth. No, not just her tongue--she felt it burrowing down deep inside her, through her neck, past her lungs, and into her upper chest. Her skin there felt pleasantly warm, tingling softly so that she brought her free hand to her chest, touching the exposed skin just under her collarbone. The warmth seemed to spread from there, one finger after another touched by the heat inside of her. She pulled her hand away and shuddered as the hot sensation surged down to her elbow. Without thinking, she inhaled again and felt the flavor deepen, shivering as it flushed down to her hips in a ripple of pleasure. She exhaled the smoke again, blowing it down at the arm that held the line and giggling as it washed over the limb, suffusing it with similar warmth.

"How is it?" Kelly asked.

"It's wonderful," she said without looking up, taking another inhale and letting out the smoke, revelling as the spicy fumes filled senses and body both. "You have to try it, sweetie!"

"Well, here goes nothing," he said, drawing more smoke into himself. He sighed deeply after doing so, somehow looking more relaxed as he exhaled a plume that had a bronze coloration before it faded into the haze. "Oh, I was wrong about nothing. That was something..."

Alex nodded, and inhaled deeply, sitting back in her chair closing her eyes while doing so. She kept it in for longer than before, and as a result, the darkness in her sight became something else: a viewing of that other world, the quicksilver waves crashing upon that synthetic shore. When she let out the smoke, the image dissolved, and she felt a wrongness in how the smoke left her snout... No, mouth.

She puckered her lips and let out a deep sigh as the warmth gently swept past her hips, creeping down her thighs to her knees, pausing for a moment, and then finally reaching her toes. She wiggled them, and they felt strange in her shoes, constrained by her clothing. She frowned and opened her eyes, bringing her right foot up onto her left knee as she tugged at her sneaker's laces. She stopped when she saw something was strange about her hand. She lifted it and turned it over, looking at her palm and how her already pale skin was paler now. Not just that, but it was smooth now, any wrinkles in it gone, and no veins below her wrist. More intriguing was how her fingers were longer and a bit thicker, and how they curled reminded her of claws. With a start, she realized her nails had developed a silvery sheen and had filed out into points.

"Hun," Kelly said from across her. "I must be dreaming..."

She looked up and saw Kelly examining his forearm, which lay on the table. Like her hand, the skin on his arm was smooth and hairless, though it seemed to be plated in black scales that shimmered softly. He raised his arm and turned it over as he inhaled more of the smoke, blowing it out softly with a sigh.

"Are you seeing this?" he asked.

Kelly nodded, taking another puff of her own and letting it out. The flavor had changed now, still spicy, but subtly sweeter. When she let out some smoke, her neck throbbed, and she lifted her changed hand to feel it. She wasn't surprised to find smoothness there that seemed to be spreading up, gently massaging her scalp and skull, that made her shiver, though not unpleasantly.

"Huh," Kelly murmured. "Maybe..."

He put down his line. One of the serpents slithered up over to him, picking it up and offering it to him again.

"Hold on a sec, pal, I--" he reached out with his altered arm and pinched his unchanged one just as bronze talons lengthened from his slender fingertips. He jumped in his seat. "Ye-ouch!"

"Not dreaming?" Alex laughed, bringing her mouthpiece to her lips. She somehow missed, tapping her nose instead, which seemed farther out than normal. She blinked and went cross eyed for a moment as she watched her face stretch forward, mouth and nostrils aching, as a white, serpentine snout gently sloped into her vision, her nostrils ringed with silver. Then her eyes watered, and Alex shut them closed while at the same time opening her new maw, her teeth twinging and her tongue probing around the inside of her mouth. She dropped her line onto the table as she felt at one tooth in particular, pulling down and away as its increased sharpness cut across her tongue, and feeling another nascent tooth as it grew along with many others. She lifted her tongue to the roof of her mouth instead and felt as her tongue twitched and thinned and was subsumed by something smooth as it forked at its end. When she brought it to touch her teeth again, it hardly hurt when it ran over their points.

"That was a mistake," Kelly said, or so Alex guessed. It sounded like him, but it had a slight hiss to it now. "That...now this is new!"

Alex forced her eyes open, letting out a pleasant sigh and shaking her head as she felt hair fall from her scalp. One of the serpents slid off the table, but she hardly paid it any mind as she reached for the back of her head with both of her hands. She found something else first; where her ears had been were stiff fins that tensed softly as she ran her talons over their surface.

Talons? She brought her hands in front of her face, just barely noticing her lengthened snout in her vision, and saw that her hands were now both the same, smooth and shining white and tipped with silvery talons. Gingerly, she picked up her line and was about to inhale again, when she saw Kelly out of the corner of her vision. She inhaled anyways as she looked over at him, the mouthpiece feeling so right in her serpentine snout as she took the smoke in.

Kelly had experienced changes of his own, and she hardly recognized the visage that calmly puffed out smoke across from her. His skull was hairless, but not quite as smooth as hers, plated with black scales. Likewise,he had no fins, but horns at the top of his skull that jutted straight back, their tips tinged in bronze. His eyes that now shined bronze were smaller and set deeper into his skull, almost as though his draconic visage was a mask. Yet despite his alterations, he looked more relaxed than ever, one leg on the table as he casually unlaced his boot with his bronze tipped talons and puffed smoke with the other.

Remembering her own feet, Alex looked down and slowly let out her latest inhalation. She felt her talons pressing alarmingly against the interior of her shoes. Not willing to waste a perfectly good pair of footwear, she resumed doing what she had done before her skull's alteration had so rudely interrupted her.

As she hurriedly tried to take her shoe off, one of the serpents slithered back onto the table and tapped against its opposite. The other nodded, and they twirled around the hookah, entwining again to carry it. Without warning, they silently sped off, Kelly yelping as the line was torn out of his hand midpull.

"Hey!" he said in a tone that growled and hissed. "I was enjoying that!"

Finally he seemed to notice Alex just as she took off her shoe. She sighed in relief, releasing some left over smoke as she saw what stripping both shoe and sock revealed: a tri-taloned foot, the thick, wicked looking talons a shimmering silver, her skin subsumed by the same white smoothness. Gingerly, she flexed her foot and delighted in how the talons moved, noticing how her heel lifted up higher.

"Alex?" Kelly said. "Hun?"

Alex looked up and smiled sweetly at Kelly.

"Yes, dearest?" She said, and paused. Her voice sounded a little deeper, huskier.

"We're..." Kelly looked down at his hands. "We're getting kind of odd, aren't we?"

"Mmm..." Alex nodded. "That we are, sweetie. But..." she sniffed deeply, her nostrils flaring as she took in the smoky haze all around them. "This place is all sorts of odd. And it's wonderful..."

"Yeah..." Kelly sighed, taking in a deep breath as well, the smoke spiraling into his bronze nostrils. "Not so bad..."

He smiled with his mouth wide open, revealing that the interior of his mouth was bronzed and he seemed to lack teeth entirely. His segmented black tongue flicked out momentarily, looking longer and pointed and quite dextrous...Alex shivered at this thought, imagining its length tickling at her nethers below, desperate for the spice inside. She pondered on this thought, the warmth seeming to concentrate between her legs, as she undid her other shoe just as Kelly released his first foot from his boot. His revealed foot was no longer human and not quite like Alex's either. It had six claws instead of her three, smaller bronzed protrusions that he wiggled experimentally, and then she saw another claw sticking out of the back of his flat heel.

Taking another breath of the haze, Alex found herself hungering for the hookah that had been taken away. The haze was nice, yes, but it only seemed to sustain the warm glow inside of her, and the spicy, subtly sweet taste was fading in her lungs. She looked down at herself and saw that the white, smooth scales had only spread down just above her bust and no further; her breasts still the same. She was surprised to find herself disappointed at the sight of the bare, mundane skin. She felt incomplete and longed for more, empty inside. She looked to Kelly and saw the same hunger in his bronze eyes, not just for completion, but for each other.

Luckily for her, the serpents returned with another strange hookah just as Kelly freed his other foot. This hookah one was smaller, and apparently cast in iron, if its dull coloration meant anything to her. It clunked heavily as the faceless serpents placed it on the table in front of the couple, before twining their tails through the lines and again offering them to the two. As Alex reached for her mouthpiece, grasping it in her talons, she couldn't shake off the feeling that the serpent that held her line was the one who had given it to Kelly last time. She laughed and wondered why that thought came to her, especially since they were entirely alike.

"What's so funny?" Kelly asked.

"Oh, nothing," she said, looking to the dragon headed individual like her, but so dissimilar at the same time. Then she turned her gaze to the iron hookah and its basin. This basin was much more opaque than the last, the liquid inside a bright baby blue. She tilted her head and spoke the color as a question: "Blue?"

"What are you talking about?" Kelly murmured. "It's pink."

"No," Alex said. "It's blue." She smirked. "You might want to get those bronze eyes of your checked."

"Oh whatever, honey, at least I'm not looking through silver."

Alex blinked. That's what her eyes looked like?

"Hey," she said, looking towards the serpents. "Could you get us a mirror?"

The serpents regarded her facelessly.

"I guess that's a no," she murmured as she brought her line to her snout.

"Oooh..." Kelly shuddered across from her, letting his line out of his snout and blowing out smoke that was indeed pink. "That's the stuff..."

Curious, Alex took her first inhalation of the new hookah. Her eyes widened as the flavor hit her, a raw, strong taste that nearly overwhelmed her senses. She panted, exhaling bright blue smoke that darkened to red just before it faded away, but the flavor remained with her, deep and heavy and sinking into her. She shuddered, her limbs aching as it ran its course both above and below, her talons clenching as it reached their tips. She also felt a tug on her back, a pull right above her rear that caused her to sit stiffly upright.

"Ohh..." she said, voice quavering. "That's strong stuff..."

"What?" Kelly said, taking another pull and sighing softly. "Not really. It's just sort of...mmm, smooth and sweet and succulent. Really nice, you know?"

Alex inhaled her second take, and this one was somehow stronger than the last. Her hands curled into fists, and the talons on her feet scratched against the ground as she rode it out. When she let out the smoke, some of it swirled out of her nostrils, and then she was standing as the tugging forced her to stand, line in hand, her chair falling to the floor behind her with a clatter. She meant to look back, but something else caught her eye, and it was her chest.

She had gotten past worrying about her breasts sometime after high school and certainly after having met Kelly, but she knew them well enough that they weren't that small. Not that they had ever been really that big, but still, they--

"Honey?" Kelly said, his voice cracking with concern as one of the serpents slid off the table, slithering around the fallen chair and dragging it off outside the haze. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah..." she said, wobbling unsteadily on her foot momentarily, only a little alarmed at how easily she adopted a digitigrade stance. She felt that same tug again, but it was more subdued, much like the energy the inhalation had left in her. She could feel it in her form, ready, and waiting, and for some reason she felt as if she just took one more breath of the strong stuff, it would fulfill its purpose.

"Um, honey?"

Alex ignored him for now as she raised her line, wincing as that protrusion pressed against the back of her shirt. She reached back and felt it, a small stubby thing, a start of something, and a hint of other things to come. She panted, already barely able to contain what she held inside, but it needed more. She lifted the line to her snout.

"Honey?" she heard Kelly squeak, followed by the clattering of the other chair falling. She looked up just as she inhaled the hookah's offering, that heady flavoring flowing into without a shiver or shake from her. She exhaled the fine red smoke from both snout and nostrils as she saw Kelly standing, his bronze eyes wide and his nostrils leaking thin trails of roseate smoke as his talons frantically dug into his pants. Alex sauntered over to him, lifting the back of her shirt and letting her nubby tail taste the air. As she moved over to her panicked husband, she felt the smoke's strength flow through her. Though her form remained lithe, she felt strength in her taloned hands and feet that she had never felt before, each step seeming to stretch her taller as her smooth arm and legs gained a modicum of muscle, however synthetic. More intriguing was what she felt below, her clit throbbing and pulsing, and she swore she felt it brushing against the inside of her panties, but that could only mean--

"It's shrinking!" Kelly wailed, unbuckling his belt and throwing it to the floor. His pants fell around his feet, revealing his white underwear as the other serpent slid off the table, calmly taking away the chair and pants both.

"Hey!" Kelly shouted, turning his back to Alex and showing off his bronze tipped tail and how segmented black scales were spread from the growth. His butt too looked larger, swelling into a plush, bronze heart-shaped rear as he harmlessly pointed a talon at the retreating serpents. "Bring those back!"

"I don't think you'll need it," Alex said confidently, then stopped at the sound of her own voice. It was deeper than before, and even huskier.

"Alex?" Kelly said, looking up with wide eyes at the woman that was now taller than him. "Honey, I--"

Alex crouched down in front of him and smiled as she felt her tail touch the floor. She reached up and placed her talons on his underwear, shivering as she felt her clit pulse again, her fleshy lips somehow feeling somehow more material below it.

"Really?" she said, her voice a near rumble. "Tighty whities? You knew we were up to something sexy and you wore your tighty whities?"

"Something sexy?" Kelly huffed, talons on hips that seemed further set apart. Not only that, but was there something poking up against his upper chest? "We were going to smoke?"

"Somewhere exotic," Alex said, then pulled down Kelly's underwear.

"Hey!" Kelly whined as his crotch was revealed. It and his thighs were covered by the glistening black scales. His cock and testicles were still there, but they were severely shrunken, pulled in tight back against a forming feminine slit.

"Which means somewhere erotic." Alex tilted her head as she peered at Kelly's crotch. "I didn't know you shaved down there."

"I don't, I--"

"It's cute," Alex said, prodding what little remained of Kelly's cockhead. She smiled as the man shivered and chuckled,what remained of his masculinity pulling back further in.

"Hey, don't--"

Alex giggled and pressed in on his shrinking masculinity. This seemed to speed up the process, Kelly's cockhead whittling down smaller and smaller as his testicles seemingly shrank up and into his shuddering slit. He shuddered and groaned, more of that pink smoke pouring out of his nostrils as his nethers developed into a proper set of scaled, glistening female lips.

"Oh my," Alex murmured, loving the timbre in her voice. "You're already wet."

"I. AM. NOT!" Kelly said, his own voice rising a little higher with each word. It stayed at that pitch afterwards as well.

"Are you sure?" Alex asked, looking at the scaled pussy in front of her, mostly notably his little bronze clit. She felt something hard pressing against her panties, stiff and confined. "It sure looks like it. Hmm, and what's this?"

"Alex, don't--"

Anything Kelly meant to say was lost as Alex ran a talon over his slit. She pulled her talon away and regarded it.

"Hmm..." she rumbled, stretching her shoulders as she felt them stretch broader while her tail languished longer behind her. "You're wet."

She looked up at Kelly, who stared down at her with a slight scowl, though she detected a trace of a coy smile across his toothless draconic snout. She stood up and found that she was now several inches taller than her husband. It almost felt right, especially as she placed her hands on his slimmer shoulders.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" she asked, her talons sneaking under his shirt to feel at his back, marveling at the sensation of skin shifting to segmented scales under her talons. He stiffened, but relaxed and returned her embrace, his slender talons touching her tenderly. She pressed her chest against his, and her slightly smaller breasts met resistance. She looked down and saw that there was some cleavage in Kelly's shirt, her husband's breasts small and tender, covered in segmented scales. Smiling, she stepped back and abruptly pulled up Kelly's shirt.

"Huh-wha!" he mumbled, lifting his arms and allowing her to take it off. She threw it away and examined his chest, snorting out some smoke as she saw that his little mounds were topped by pointy bronze nipples. His lower stomach was still untouched however, just skin that was seemed out of place. He even had his belly button still! She poked it with a talon, and he let out an "eep" and backed up, his breasts bouncing just a little.

"Oh dear," she said. "You've got tits."

"No, I--" he looked down and then covered them with his talons. "Ok, maybe I do, but..."

"Hmm..." she said, glancing at her own chest. They seemed too small now, especially since she was larger. "I wonder..."

She reached for Kelly's line and took a puff, sighing as it was indeed very, very sweet. She shivered and dropped the line, feeling the stuff suffuse in her chest. Staring down at her breasts, Alex exhaled pink smoke slowly and watched her bust slowly swell and transition to white, scaly smoothness, her nipples poking prominently against her shirt even as what could only be her cock went full erect, lifting her skirt a little. Turning her gaze back to Kelly, she saw that he stared at her, half fascinated and half horrified, but as the seconds went by, she saw the curiosity winning out. His bronze tipped tail even wagged behind him.

"Is that..." he gulped and stared at the prominent bulge in her skirt. "Is that what I think it is?"

"I don't know..." Alex purred, then huffed out the last of the smoke, her breasts swelling just a little larger. With some satisfaction, she saw that she had ended up larger than before, and surely larger than Kelly. "Do you want to find out?"

Kelly froze, his snout snapping shut. Then he nodded slowly, ever so slowly.

"Well, come on then, sweetie," Alex said. "Don't be shy."

Kelly nodded timidly, then looked to the line in Alex's hand.

"Hey," he said. "Mind if I get some of that stuff? I need some, uh..." he looked at Alex's skirt and his segmented tongue momentarily flicked out of his snout. "Some sweet, sweet courage."

"Be my guest," she said, holding the line out to him.

He took it and breathed in deeply, letting the line drop as he stepped towards Alex. They embraced again, her talons feeling his waist compress, even as he held onto her slightly bulkier one, their breasts pressing together while she was all too aware of her covered cock pressing againsthis thickening thighs. They looked into each other's eyes and seemed to read the other's thoughts as they opened their maws, him releasing the smoke into hers. She tasted its sweet scent, purring in delight as her breasts swelled just a little larger, now tight in her bra, while Alex's set ballooned out to rival her own. She twisted her torso and hissed in delight as her covered nipples ran across his stiff bronze ones.

"Hmm," she said. "Let's do away with this shirt, hmm?"

She raised her arms, and Alex lifted the shirt up and away. Like Alex, her stomach was still normal skin, though her sides were smooth and white and still retained their curves. She nodded towards her bra.

"That too," she said and flicked out her tongue. "And I know you know how to unlace one."

Kelly nodded, reaching around her back to do so. He paused as he saw something over her shoulder. Alex looked over and saw the serpents slithering away with the iron hookah.

"Don't worry about them," Alex said, sighing in relief as Kelly removed her bra. Her breasts bounced free. They were well rounded, smooth and white save for her nipples that were tight silver points, her areolae a little wider than Kelly's. While there was some relief in having her chest unconstrained, her dick still throbbed below in a way that was beginning to get a bit uncomfortable. Abruptly, she growled and reached up, squeezing Kelly's breasts with her strong talons. Kelly hissed in a surprised, satisfying way, his eyes lighting up as Alex ran her talons over her tits, the swollen mounds surprisingly soft and malleable, despite their scaly surface. Kelly then let out a squeal as Alex pinched her bronze nipples, the stiff points harder than Alex would have thought.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Alex asked, taking the opportunity to breathe in more of the smoky haze around them now that the hookah was gone. The haze tasted different, still so relaxing, but there was an electric edge to it now that really got her excited. She flicked out her forked tongue and licked Kelly's bronze nostrils, her husband hissing and moaning as she continued to fondle his breasts.

"Oh, yes..." he moaned.

"Good," she said, cupping his breasts in her talons. "You've got some fat tits."

Kelly looked bashful, and was there a hint of red amongst his snout scales? Alex couldn't be sure, but she smiled a toothy smile anyways.

"I-I do not!" he said, looking down at his chest then to Alex's endowments. "I mean, you do too, so--"

"So help a girl out, eh?" Alex said, pushing her chest forward. She dropped one of her talons and teased Kelly's slit, parting the lips just slightly. He gasped. "And I'll help one out as well."

"I-I'm not really a girl," Kelly denied.

Alex laughed and brushed a talon against his nubby bronze clit. He gasped again, and she definitely saw some red to his snout scales now, transitory scarlet that faded away as he set his snout. With as straight a face as he could manage, he reached out and squeezed her breasts. She sighed, some hazy silver smoke pouring out of her nostrils.

"Mmm," she half purred, half moaned. "That's good, but I was thinking you could go a little lower."

"But..." he said, looking down at the bulge in her skirt and gulping. "I don't--"

"I think you do, girly," Kelly said. "There's a reason you're still sore, hmm?"

There was that red blush again, and Alex couldn't help but chuckle. Kelly pouted, but still his talons slowly made their way down her curvy waist and to her hips. He paused, and Alex took this opportunity to tease his already wet lips a little farther apart. He shuddered and hissed.

"Oh come on, Alex," he whined. "Don't--"

"Now this is interesting," a new, but familiar voice hissed. Kelly and Alex looked up to see the dragoness creak through the mist, easily pushing a rather large comfy looking couch along the way with her talons. She set it against the table, leaned against it with her breasts pressing againstthe couch's cushioning, and tilted her head as she looked down at the couple with her smoky eyes. "Already satisfied?"

The couple looked questioningly towards each other, and then to themselves. Their bodies were mostly a mix of draconic and human, but there were still spots of skin here and there, mostly notably their bare stomachs, that had been untouched. Alex knew she desired more and she saw that same desire in Kelly's eyes. They shook their heads together.

"That's what I thought," the dragoness purred, flicking out a purple tongue that appeared to glow with its own light. "That's what I knew. You two still aren't satisfied are you? You want more, you desire a deeper experience?"

The couple nodded.

"Yes, indeed." The dragoness smiled toothily, then nodded towards the couch. "Have a seat. My servants will be here shortly. Get comfortable."

With that, the dragoness disappeared back into the haze with a groan and a hiss. Alex glanced over to the couch.

"Well then," she said, gingerly pushing Kelly's talons away from her hips. "It will have to wait."

"What?" Kelly said. "Why?"

"Ohhh..." Alex smiled and brought Kelly's talons back. "You're really that excited to see my dick, hmm?"

"Yeah, well..." Kelly look away and his tail twitched behind him. "You were pretty pleased to see mine shrink. And..." he snorted out smoke. "You seem to like my 'fat' tits."

"Oh come on, sweetie. Are you upset mine are still bigger than yours?"

Kelly pouted. "...Maybe." Then he laughed and smiled toothlessly, hooking his talons past her skirt into her panties. Without any further ado, he pulled them both down, crouching while doing it so that Alex was now naked and his snout was at her crotch level. His muzzle dropped open at the site of her smooth white crotch--smooth, that is, except for what was obviously her cock that more than peeked out of her slit--it stood proudly draconic, ridged and white but veined with silver.

"Hmm," Alex murmured. "Seems like I'm bigger than you in two ways. Or was."

"Shut up..." Kelly near whispered, though he still stared at with awe and hunger in his bronze eyes. He looked up at Alex and licked his segmented black tongue over his snout. "Mind if I get a taste?"

They heard a clunk next to them on the table. The couple looked and saw a new hookah was set in place, this one black and shiny, and synthetic like the floor. The twin serpents sat entwined on the table, each holding out a line curled up in their tail. Though they had no face, it wasn't hard to tell that they were offering.

"Soon, hun, soon," Alex cooed, gently running her talons over her husband's head. "I have a feeling this might help with our satisfaction...of each other."

Kelly nodded and stood, the couple separating to stand on either side of the table, opposite their original positions. They took their lines without hesitation, but didn't inhale anything, at least not yet. Instead, the eyes went to the bubbling basin. Though the glass was slightly shrouded, it was still easy enough to see the chromatic and metallic colors that both swirled within. She put the mouthpiece to her snout, all too eager to taste it,. When she did, the smoke had a sweet, smoky yet tangy flavor, with a metallic aftertaste that seemed to cling to her sharpened teeth. She sighed in satisfaction, spewing out shimmering shifting smoke as Kelly did the same across from her, their smoke coalescing momentarily before dissolving in the haze. Ready for another taste, Alex tugged at her mouthpiece and felt something tug back. Surprised, she looked down her snout, silvery nostrils flaring as she saw the serpent pulling on the line. It tilted its faceless head and pulled again.

"Hey," Kelly said as his line slipped through his talons. "Give it back!"

"Let it be," Alex said, letting the serpent take her line away. As she spoke, she still tasted that flavor upon her tongue, sweet and metallic. She licked the inside of her mouth and shivered, feeling so hollow for whatever reason. "I guess one was enough."

Kelly folded his arms under his breasts. "But that was my favorite! Though I do feel a bit...empty inside?"

"I..." Alex blinked as she felt a tingling throb in her cock. She reached her talons down and caressed the turgid shaft while she stared at Kelly lustfully, though it was harder to see him through the haze now, even if he was so close. For a moment, she wondered if her vision had been literally been clouded by lust, but instead found that the smoky haze had indeed thickened around them. And was it just her, or was it tinged with a pinkish red now?

She shivered, the smoke seeming to caress her scales, hugging over her curves, tickling at her breasts and nipples, and, most arousing of all, smoothly running over her shaft, first the top, then bottom, then touching the tip itself. She sighed, letting herself be taken in by the haze, Kelly's initially surprised and then soft, pleasant moans, and the snakes slithering as they removed the other hookah the only sounds she could hear.

The haze then thinned, but something still remained within, especially in her stomach. Still lustful, she idly stroked her cock and, although she hadn't had it for long, noticed that it felt different. She lowered her snout and stared at it and it was indeed different. It had thickened slightly, but now it tapered near the end, the tip of her cock silver and resembling a mouthpiece, one still phallic in shape. She stroked it again and found it still sensitive and stiff, though it seemed to be more flexible than before. She sighed softly at the touch and noticed that not only did her voice have a mechanical rasp to it, but her stomach stirred. Lifting her gaze, she looked to her stomach and found her skin has started to take on a translucent silver sheen while her waist pressed in even more. Through her changing stomach skin, she saw silvery smoke swirling inside of her . Curiously, she tapped her stomach with her talons and it clinked even as it rounded out a little more into a familiar shape.

"In retrospect," Kelly said, his voice having taken on a higher tone that seemed to chime, especially with his s's . "Maybe one dose was enough..."

She turned her attention back to him and found that she wasn't the only one that undergone further alterations. Like her, his soft skin had changed, developing into hollow bronze tinged glass, though nothing swirled inside. Additionally, his pussy was more pronounced, his feminine lips puffy and gleaming dully in bronze cast. His hips had widened as well, and she saw two bronze protrusions on either side that almost looked like--

"Are those handles?" Alex asked, her voice retaining its metallic groan.

"Yeah, so?" Kelly said, talons reaching down and tugging at them, lifting his heels off the ground in the process. He narrowed his bronze eyes at Alex's crotch. "Is that a..."

"What?" Alex questioning, breathing in more of the haze. She sauntered over to Kelly, hips swaying, breasts bouncing, and dick staying firmly in place. "Is it too weird for you?"

"No!" Kelly hissed, shrinking away from the larger dragon. "It's just that..."

"What?" Alex paused, standing before him, tall, strong and busty, and drawing in more of that lust tinged smoke. She grinned when she saw Kelly doing the same. "Just say it, sweetie."

"Is it weird that I'm only more interested?"

Alex shook his head as she placed her talons on his shoulders. He stiffened, but then relaxed as she nuzzled his snout with her own.

"Not at all," she said, her eyes examining his head, smiling as she saw her horns. She raised her talons traced over their black surface before she reached the bronze tips. "Actually, those handles were just your third and fourth."

"What?" Kelly reached up and touched his horns as well. "No! Absolutely not! You are not going to use my horns as handholds while I give you a blowjob."

Alex tilted her head. "I never suggested that."

"I know," Kelly said, smiling. "I was. In fact, why don't we--" His eyes widened and he jumped, springing away from Alex.

"Honey?" she said.

"No, no," Kelly growled, pointing down. "Not you. That!"

Alex looked down and saw one of the serpents had returned and it was peering inquisitively at Kelly's puffy pussy. Kelly waggled a talon menacingly and shook his head.

"Don't you dareAH!' he moaned as the serpent poked his snout into his slit. He backed up, crossing his legs together then yelping and falling over back as he ran into the couch. He landed on the couch comforter with his arms in the air and legs spread touching the ground, but he hadn't been harmed. He tried to sit up, but Alex was already upon him, pressing him back down with her hands on his breasts. He hissed and breathed in more of the haze, though his glassy belly was still empty, even if his eyes were filled with lust. Alex grinned down at him, his lust mirrored in her silver eyes, the smoke swirling faster and faster in her chest. She felt something at her legs and looked down to see a serpent twisted around it, looking up at her while its duplicate slithered up and hung over the top of the couch, gazing down at the pair. She then gasped as Kelly reached up and squeezed her breasts. Her tongue flicked out of her snout as she realized how rubbery her smooth scaly skin was. She shivered as the serpent slithered up her leg and nudged at her sensitive, twitching cock. When smoke wisped up, she glanced down and was surprised to see that it had come from her member . She smiled and patted the serpent's featureless head, the synthetic creature rubbing almost amorously against her talons.

"They just want to help us," Alex said.

"Help us what?" Kelly asked, squinting up at Alex through the haze.

"Oh, don't play coy," Alex laughed, then shivered and huffed as Kelly squeezed her breasts. "They know what we want. They always have."

"Oh?" Kelly removed his talons and laid his arms at his side. "What do you think I want?"

"You want me," Alex growled, lowering her head and placing the tip of her snout on the side of his head. They were so close that she could see straight into his eyes and how the bronze in them wasn't so solid, pulsing and swimming in a circle. "And I want you. But more than that..."

She climbed onto the couch, Kelly crawling back to accommodate her. She straddled him, teasing him by poking his glossy black thighs with her throbbing shaft. He quivered and they both took in more of the haze.

"We want each other," she hissed. "No matter what."

"Sure," Kelly said. "That sounds nice and all, but..." he squirmed beneath her and looked away.

"What?" Alex roared. While she had only been the more dominant one in the relationship without the cock, she felt even more empowered now. She wasn't sure if it was just the haze, but she swore she felt even bigger now as her tail lashed behind her and her shoulder blades ached.

"Yes." Kelly nodded and turned back to her as she lifted her head away. "I love the sentiment, I really do, but I...I really sort of want you inside of me before the end of this century," he smirked.

Alex laughed a short snarl and brought her snout tip to his.

"From coy to crass," she said, licking at his snout, her talons digging into the couch cushioning. She swung her hips around as she felt them tug wider, her tail straining and thickening behind her. "I really do love you."

"And I love you too," he said. "But can we please stop talking and start doing?"

"Even if there's tentacles involved?"

Kelly's bronze eyes widened and yellow nervous smoke trickled out of his snout.

"Where?"

Alex waved her tail behind her, it's pointed silver tip raised high in the air. She growled and leaned forward as her torso barreled out, shoulders becoming more broad while her breasts swelled out just a little larger to match the proportions of her larger rounded glassy chest.

"A tail is kind of like a tentacle." She grinned. "If you know what I mean..."

"No thanks, hun. Are you..." he peered at her bigger body, but mostly at her breasts. "Are you alright?"

"Never been better," she said, and she meant it. "And you?"

"Actually..." Kelly whined, bringing his legs up and wrapping them around Alex's broader back. He thrust his hips forward, but Alex kept her member away from him for now, even if everything well telling her to plunge into him now. "I feel kind of empty."

"Oh?" She said, then saw his glass belly, so empty and devoid of smoke. "Oh, I see." She grinned. "I think I can help with that."

"Please do," he said. "Please..."

"No. Not yet."

"Honey!" Kelly wailed, wantonly humping the air again.

"Let's start simple." Alex said, snaking her snout forward.

"What do you--mmm!"

Their snouts touched and opened, their tongues touching and slithering around each other inside. Smoke mingled in their mouths as well, sweet and saccharine mixing with strong and spicy. Alex relished the coolness of Kelly's black tongue along with the smoky flavor within both their snouts, and Kelly seemed to be enjoying it too, even more so if his bronze eyes rolling back in his saurian skull meant anything. Relishing what was to come next, Alex lowered herself and pressed her breasts into his, stubborn silver nipples meeting stiff bronze in their second simultaneous "kiss." She lowered herself lower still, busts squeezing together, and he convulsed beneath her. She found, however, that it was one of the serpents snaking into Kelly's ready and waiting slit. Not wanting to be outdone, Alex pressed stiffly against the serpent with her member and it seemed to get the message, slithering up her chest instead to wrap and squeeze itself around her breasts. She groaned, but continued forward, turgid silver-lined length pressing into Kelly's eager depths. Her husband groaned in a high pitched chime, whining as she did little more than tease him, slowly spreading him open bit by bit as smoke began to trail from the tip of her cock.

"Come on," he huffed, pulling his snout away.

"You're kind of needy," Alex murmured, giving his nostrils a lick and tasting the sweet smoke that spiraled out of them. "It's kind of cute."

Kelly pouted, then lunged forward and harmlessly clamped his toothless jaw over hers, breathing in the smoke she spewed. He looked straight into his eyes and never thought she would see such wantonness in bronze.

"Fine," she hissed with a toothy smile. She thrust forward and found her first foray into her husband's pussy tight and satisfying. It must have been especially sensitive for Kelly if his hissing moans told her anything.

"More?" she asked, already pressing in as Kelly writhed beneath her, talons reaching up to squeeze at her taut silver nipples while he took her in. She pulled out, and he writhed again, hips bucking and legs squeezing tight against her back, and then she was in again, just as the serpent wrapped around her breasts squeezed and hissed while nuzzling at her neck. Inside, Kelly was warm and moist and needy, so very needy, as his inner walls clamped hungrily on her cock. His incessant contractions were rewarded with Alex not only outwardly increasing the pace and intensity of her thrusts, but inward as her length twitched and throbbed before silvery smoke l hiss out of her cock, trailing up and tickling at Kelly's sensitive glassy walls. Alex huffed as she felt the smoke leave her, the release vivid and pleasurable, but it was only the start of something. She growled and reached down for his handles, gripping them with her talons and smiling as she saw silver smoke start to swirl in Kelly's previously empty glass stomach. She wanted to give him more, to fill him and release her smoke, even if that meant it left her empty.

Kelly squealed and shook as she grabbed at his handles and pushed into him, hard. By Kelly's shocked expression, she was afraid she had pushed too hard, but then he smiled and opened his maw. She met him in another tongue twirling kiss even as they shared in the thickening haze around them. The smoke's flavor had shifted again, tart and lemony and pleasant to inhale, but when she tasted what Kelly exhaled it was sweet like a peach. The thought of a peach caused her to release his handles, talons creeping farther back to squeeze at his plump rump. Kelly hissed and shook while she quivered, more smoke spewing from her thirsting member as the serpent snaked around her breast slid off and away.

Wondering why it went, she received an answer as something wrapped around her tail, lifting it up. She pulled her snout away from Kelly, thrusting deep and hard as she looked back to see one serpent wrapped around her tail while the other one held something conical that gleamed in the dim light. She hissed in surprise as she felt it inserted between her plump cheeks, teasing at her strangely stretchy hole. She gasped in sync with Kelly as they both felt something enter them deeper, both their entrances stretching to accommodate stiff shafts that rubbed against their interiors pleasurably. Alex lifted her rear, digging deeper into Kelly even as the easier access for the salacious serpent allowed it to press the dark plug further into Alex's rounded rump. She growled and hissed in pleasure as she felt smoke trickle from the plug and tickle her already stretched translucent belly. She had to stop from giggling as she felt it filter up into her stomach, black smoke mixing with silver. She hardly wondered when that part of her anatomy had altered, instead concentrating on satisfying her partner, her thrusts more vigorous and faster as she exhaled the mixing smoke stored inside from both her mouth and cock.

Alex shuddered again after another particularly forceful thrust, and Kelly quivered beneath her, bronze eyes clouded from smoke wafting up within. Alex saw with satisfaction that his glass stomach was now filled with the same mixture of smoke as hers, and with each wave of clenching pleasure, even more was pouring in. Despite the tingling pleasure, she still craved more, and could feel how much Kelly needed it as well, She was so close to... something. Was it climax? She couldn't be sure. There was pleasure mounting, sure, but there was something different about what they were doing.

As Alex thought this, she smelled familiar smoke, raw and light and somehow tasting of silver. It was a wonderful flavor, and with it brought other sensations. While her body continued to hiss and thrust and quiver around the plug stuffed into her rump, she began to feel the smoke more and more, like her senses were drifting out of her nostrils while also swirling inside of her, and trickling out of her cock. As pleasure reached its peak, her shoulder blades ached, her tail lashed and and then smoke siphoned out of the silver tip and gushed out of silver slits just under her shoulders, the smoke rising out of them forming into wings. Then she was rising with it, higher and higher as her draconic body below continued to rut with the dragoness beneath her, their synthetic scaled forms, silver and white, black and bronze, busty and bold, twitching and heaving in ecstasy. She became one with the haze, tasting all of the flavors that had come before, sweet and saccharine, strong and spicy, tart yet subdued, smoky and raw and fulfilling, at least until she found another among the haze, a kindred smoky shape that she loved above all else. In the form of smoky dragons that flashed colors chromatic and metallic, they joined together, dancing and cavorting and tasting each other in the haze, phantoms in the mist who enjoying ethereally even as they still felt the physicality of it all. They were getting higher and higher, closer and closer, so close, and--

And then their bodies caught up, and Alex felt herself rushing back to her draconic form just as her shaft tightened, and Kelly's inner walls clamped down. With a raspy roar and a chiming cry from the couple, they reached their peak, smoke flooding from her into him and from him out into the haze while the plug in Alex's rounded rump worked overtime to ensure her glassy stomach was filled even as it released more of and more smoke.

Their coupling complete, Alex collapsed against Kelly before rolling off to his side. She lay her talons on her breasts, squeezing her panting husband as he reached below and stroked at her slowly withdrawing cock. Their tails entwined together, twitching with every gasp and huff of smoke. Slowly, ever so slowly, their breathing came easier and slower, and less and less smoke siphoned out of the couple even as their minds still struggled to comprehend what exactly had happened. They looked over to each other, black and silver tongues flicking against each other, tasting their partner and the smoke that still hung heavy in the air. They hardly noticed as the serpents slithered away, though the plug still stayed in Alex's stretched hole, and she was grateful for that, squeezing around the comfortable heft.

"Well," Kelly said after some time, putting his snout away. "That was...uh, that was something. Really, really weird. I'll have to thank that little guy later."

"The gnome? Mmm, we should. That was something indeed," Alex purred, admiring how both their glassy bellies contained the same colorful concoction of smoke. "You know, you were pretty tight for a guy."

"Oh, shut up," Kelly said with a smile.

"Did I mention busty as well?" She squeezed at his breasts casually with one taloned hand. He shivered and gasped.

"And you've got a big dick for a girl," he said, flicking his tongue out at her. "See? It's very funny when I say it too."

Suddenly, the haze thickened, and they heard a familiar creak. The couple sat up and watched as the dragoness emerged, her silvery smoky eyes breasts wafting into view first, quickly followed by her ample breasts. She looked down at them, seemingly pleased as silver smoke wafted for her nostrils.

"My, my," she said in her smooth, synthetic voice. "It seems as if you two were made for each other, more now than ever. You two are quite something special indeed. There are others here who might want to see you, and I might just let them..." Her smoky eyes shined gold momentarily. "But not yet, no. Not until I know. Are you satisfied, wholly and truly?"

The couple looked into each other's metallic eyes. Smiles came over their snouts as they both shook their draconic heads.

"No," Kelly said.

"Not yet," Alex affirmed.

The dragoness laughed, her eyes alight with white smoke now. She reached up and snatched the fat cigar out of her smoke and opened her maw wide. She exhaled deeply, and a rainbow of colors swirled from her maw. The draconic couple breathed it in and were brought back to that distant shore, but the waves weren't so silver, and the shore wasn't a shining black. There were new colors here the likes of which they had never seen, not only that, but new smells, new flavors, all the new sensations that they might desire and they were in it together.

Then they exhaled and the dragoness was gone along with that distant shore, but that hardly mattered. The couple looked to each other, smiles creeping over their snouts as the serpents slithered onto the table with a hookah that shined like a prism. The serpents separated, tails curling around lines that they offered to the seated dragons. The dragons took their lines, still looking deeply into each other's metallic eyes.

"Are you ready for this?" Kelly asked.

"Yes," Alex answered. "We're ready for this."

They took their lines and inhaled, welcoming the new sensations that flowed into their forms, their minds alight as they wondered what they were about to experience together. Whatever strange and delightful things the mythic establishment had in store, they were going to enjoy it together.

It was the 21st century after all, or close enough to it. Why not enjoy it?
