The Aftermath

Arac stared at his lower half in awe. The rider slowly raised his wide haunches into the air, watching in fascination as he wiggled his reshaped toes. The fat, rounded digits ended with wickedly curved talons, the human's chest filling with an unfamiliar pride as he watched them curl. These sleek and shiny red feet… They were his. He knew they were. And yet, it all felt so surreal.

In just a small amount of time, Arac's body had changed drastically. The once lithe and spry trainer was now splayed out on his back, his lower half having warped and twisted to mirror his partner's form. The sex-addled rider moaned as he squirmed on the cave floor, his mind desperately trying to make sense of this situation.

“Arrum. I've got claws, Arrum." The dumbfounded human called out to his dragon, voice rumbling in his chest. Arac knew the changes hadn't stopped at his midsection. The rider could feel the weight of horns atop his head, clawed hands lazily exploring the smooth scales running up his chest.

Arac could sense that his dragon was close. It was more than just the smell of his mate's spent seed, or the heavy panting in the distance. He could feel the ground beneath where his partner stood, his cloudy mind filled with strange thoughts and feelings that did not belong to him. There was confusion. Panic. Curiosity. Embarrassment…

But above all else, a single desire washed over the rider. Spent cum trickled down the man's fattened haunches, his soft entrance clenching as more of his mate's cum leaked onto the cave floor. Arac brought his scaled palms down to his newfound tail, the powerful appendage now pulled atop his groin.

If the two truly were linked, Arac knew there would be no point in hiding his thoughts from the dragon. The rider moaned as he arched his hips upwards, slowly allowing himself to openly express his arousal once more.

“If you're scared, Arrum. Don't be." Arac began, groaning as he tries to turn on his side to look at his dragon. “I'm fine. We'll be fine. I feel… I f-feel…"

“You feel free." A deep voice rumbled by Arac's side. The rider gazed up as the large beast slowly stepped towards him.

Arac gasped at the sight of his partner. The great beast was walking on two legs, his stocky body striding towards him with a sultry gait. The humanoid dragon stumbled as he slowly lowered himself back down to a more comfortable position, his whole body shuddering as he reveled in their mutual desires.

“Arrum?" The changed human asked, watching in anticipation as his dragon crawled beside him and onto all fours. Arac's partner placed a heavy paw-like hand down on the rider's groin, knocking the tail away.

Arrum leaned his head down and basked in the scent of his changed lover. Large nostrils flared as a steady waft of air pushed over the rider's shiny, plump balls. The dragon let his tongue slowly drag over the curve of the sensitive skin, rumbling in delight over the sight before him.

It was true that they'd changed. The dragon and his rider had spent a good portion of their life in similar positions to this, the two basking in each other's carnal desires. But this? Arrum could only describe the experience as love. A love so strong it poured out of him, and into his partner. They had shared plenty of wonderful moments with each other up until this point. But now, they shared everything.

The two needn't talk to share their anxieties for what might happen next. Surely, their changes would be noticed by both human and dragon alike atop this Keep. There was fear that they might have already been found out, as well. Their passionate mating could not have gone completely unnoticed. But amongst their confusion was a joy so pure, neither could bring themselves to feel guilty about it.

“Arrum." The rider began, placing a hand on his lover's scaly snout. “I-"

Arrum shoved his muzzle against Arac's slit before slowly shoving his tongue inside. The dragon rumbled in delight as he shared equally in the sensation he'd caused; thick tognue slowly spreading the trembling cockslit apart. The dragon lapped greedily as he held his mate beneath him, keeping the writhing man still. Arrum knew exactly how much his rider could take, their years spent together in the sky having blossomed into a bond neither could have ever fathomed. Something had happened. An ancient magic? Their souls intertwined? The two didn't care. In this moment, all they needed was one another.

“I love you, Arrum. I-" Arac began, his body stiffening and twitching as his draconic member slowly pushed out into his mate's awaiting maw. The rider let out a deep and rumbling moan as he arched his hips into the warm muzzle. “Please. I need this. I-"

Arac bellowed as he felt his arousal fully slip out of his body, the tapered shaft throbbing in delight as a thick tongue continued to wrap around it. The great dragon slowly lowered his head, horns bobbing rhythmically as he teased at the warm shaft.

What would happen to the two of them now? Would the Keep kick them out? Arac squirmed beneath the ministrations as he moaned, the tight feeling around his shaft driving him wild. The rider had so many friends here, both human and dragon alike. The man brought a clawed hand to his half-muzzle and panted as a rush of thoughts came to his mind. What would they all think of him now?

The same answer came back to him, again and again, his thoughts colliding as his tail thrashed about.

Who cares. I have Him. That's all that matters.

An unfamiliar sense of pride slowly began to well up within Arac once more. He watched as his tail curled around Arrum's head, tugging him closer to his groin. The rider stared at his warped form as he moaned once again. He… he didn't want to leave the Keep. His pride wouldn't allow it. The rider wanted to show everyone just how good he felt.

His scales ground against Arrum's, the dragon's hot breath washing over his shuddering groin. The rider reached out and grabbed at his dragon's horns, his need overtaking him completely. The changed man growled as he shoved his cock deep into Arrum's maw. The rider stared into his dragon's eyes as his pleasure mounted, his body tensing in preparation for the moment to come.

“Arrum!" The man yelled, hips spasming as he felt his orgasm intensify. The dragon simply pushed down against his mate, pinning the man's pistoning hips in place. Ropes of hot cum splattered down the back of the beast's throat, his mouth quickly filling with his lover's seed. Arrum could feel the riders orgasm, his own body shaking from the intense experience. They locked eyes with one another as Arrum swallowed and sucked at the mess. The dragon rumbled with delight as he took care of his rider. The great beast had yet to even touch himself, and yet he too could share in the bliss of his mate's afterglow.

“Arrum…" Arac panted weakly, still gripping at his lover's head. “C-Can you do that again?"

The Connection

Vahn quickly wound his way the curved hall of the cave, his boots trudging at an erratic pace. The experienced rider had no idea what he had just witnessed, but he knew he needed to tell someone. Something had happened to one of the younger rider's. He'd come by the check on Arac and his dragon, but what he found was…

“Reth! Reth!" Vahn hissed, turning sharply into another offshoot of the long cave hall. He let his momentum carry him downwards as he slid towards his resting dragon, the panic in his voice giving away his concern.

“What's wrong?" The black dragon asked, slowly pulling his head up from the ground to stare at his rider. “You're interrupting my nap, Vahn. Was there an accident? If the Eastern Forest is on fire again-"

“No, no. It's-" Vahn huffed as he pauses to catch his breath. The lean rider gasped for air as he tried to think of the appropriate words to describe what he'd just seen. “It's…"

“Are the orcs feuding with that good-for-nothing lord again?" Reth asked, using his muzzle to help prop up Vahn as he spoke. “Honestly, we'd be best to stay out of that and let them handle it themselves, Vahn. It's only a matter of time until-"

“Arac and Arrum are mating." Vahn blurted out, the words sounding ridiculous in his own ears. “I saw them. I… I saw them… mating. I… they were all wound up together and-"

“I know." Reth stated matter-of-factly, sniffing at the air as he watched Vahn blink in confusion.

“You…Know?!" The rider gasped, his head now spinning twice as fast.

“Yes. All the dragons do. There's a scent to sex, you know. Arousal, too." Reth chuckled, glancing at Vahn's groin as he explains himself. “It makes sense, in a way. Their bond is unlike any I've seen before."

Vahn just stared at his partner with a blank expression on his face. He didn't know what to say. He felt his legs slowly give out beneath him, his knees wobbling as Reth slowly helped him down onto the ground.

“But… The scales…" Vahn muttered, completely at a loss for what he'd seen just moments ago. Did the dragons really think what he saw was… normal?

“Yes. Dragons have scales. If you'd ever bothered to take me up on my offers to ride bareback you'd know just how smooth they were. They do very little to chafe." Reth prattled on as he watched his rider slump down against him. There was something oddly satisfying in the human's behavior at times. In a way, having a rider was its own reward. “I do think you should toss the saddle. It's far too cumbersome for its own good, and it's not like I'll let you fall to your-"

“But he had a tail and everything." Vahn interrupted, shaking his head as he tried to clear his confusion. “He sounded just like a dragon."

“That's because he is a dragon, Vahn." Reth rolled his eyes as he nudges his rider with the side of his snout. The black beast was starting to believe his human had concussed himself during martial practice.

“Arac is a dragon?!" Vahn asked, his mind suddenly exploding from this unbelievable revelation.

“Wait… No." Reth paused, quickly joining in Vahn's confusion. “What? I'm talking about Arrum."

“Well I'm talking about Arac! He's… he's a dragon!" The rider shouted, turning to face his partner. “Red scales! Claws! Horns! Tail!"

Reth stared at his friend with a blank expression. The dragon was too proud to let himself fall for some silly trap, and he had to make sure this wasn't some vain attempt to make the beast look like a fool.

“... Did Grax set you up to this?" The black beast asked at last. He was not in the mood to see the large dragon snickering at his gullibility today.

“What? No! I'm serious! They're…" Vahn closed his mouth for a moment and swallows, his cheeks blushing bright red. “When I left, Arum was… 'cleaning' Arac's, uh… slit."

Reth was hit with another wave of arousal from his rider. The dragon blinked in surprise, both at the statement and the smell emanating from the human in front of him.

“Well… that's new." Reth stated openly, turning his draconic eyes down upon his rider. The beast grinned as he pulled himself up off of the cave floor, pausing only to stretch down low on all fours. “Why don't we go pay our friends a visit then, hm?"

The Understanding

“It's okay. Just because they're wobbling doesn't mean you can't stand on them." Arac panted, his own legs feeling like they were about to buckle beneath him.

The duo stood on shaky legs, their hands and chests mashed together as they supported each other's weight. Arrum stumbled back and forth, heavy feet dragging across the cave floor.

“I'm not so sure if I can… keep my balance for more than a few minutes…" Arrum muttered, his scales sliding along his rider's. The two groaned in unison as a wave of vertigo passed over them.

“W-We've done harder. Much harder." Arac continued, encouraging himself as they slowly pushed away from one another. Their hands were interlaced, clawed fingers clenching tightly as they tried to steady themselves. “Remember that storm in the Isles?"

“Don't remind me." Arrum growled, thinking back to the bleak and rocky coast. “We almost crashed into that naga den."

“B-But we didn't!" Arac boasted, slowly letting go of Arrum. The two stumbled about as they tried to balance atop their newly shaped bodies, their tails desperately trying to steady their balance. “And this is… easy by comparison! No hair pin turns. No dodging canon fire."

“Y-Yeah…" Arrum took a deep breath as he flapped his wings, his hind legs settling down beneath his weight. His new pectorals felt strange, the pulsing muscle wound into two tight and separate mounds. He puffed his chest out as he found his balance, shoulders finally broadening as he steadied. “We can do this."

“Indeed you can." A new voice interrupted from down the cave. A deep and rumbling chuckle filled the room as Arrum and Arac jump in unison.

The two crashed down atop one another, their bodies collapsing from the startling entrance. Arrum groaned as he caught his rider, the human now almost twice as heavy as he once was.

“Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on… Standing up." The black dragon said, his gait slow and cautious as he advanced towards the tangled pair.

“Reth!!" Arac cried out, quickly grabbing at Arrum's wing to cover his naked form. “It's not what it looks like!"

“It's not?" The black dragon frowned at that. “Because I could have sworn that I'm seeing double right now. Standing on two legs is an awfully human thing to do, Arrum. And you needn't cover yourself Arac, I can still see your tail."

The rider's scales paled as he coiled his tail behind Arrum's wingspan. The two could feel the scrutiny in Reth's eyes, the keen dragon examining every inch of the two from his vantage point.

“If you were wondering; no, this hasn't happened before." Reth began, walking closer towards the two. He circled them once, noting how protective the duo were of one another. “I can only assume this is new for you as well."

“Y-Yes." Arac shrunk beneath their mentor's gaze, his own eyes glued to the cave floor. “I was all alone here, and I just… it all happened so quickly. There was a fire, and then this intense need."

“Yes, I can smell the need quite clearly." Reth snorted, nostrils filled with the scent of their coupling. It was as if the two were actively trying to spread their scent. “And Arrum. Was he with you?"

“No. Not originally. I was up with you." The other dragon spoke up, staring back at Reth. “You were busy trying to poke holes in our bond."

“Me? Poke holes?" The dragon scoffed as he watched Arrum tighten around his lover. The two were awfully protective of the other. “Perhaps it was your need to affirm your bond that led to this… this…"

Reth squinted as he stared at the two beasts. While the dragon would never admit it, he had absolutely no idea what magic could cause such a drastic change.

“... this… intimate communion." Arrum said at last, watching their mannerisms carefully.

“Please just, don't kick us out'" Arac suddenly blurted out, leaning over his dragon's folding wing. “If you tell the other rider's, they might never-"

“Let you leave?" The black dragon cocked his head. “I think it's only fair that we tell as many that we can about your incident, if only to help find an answer to this."

“But… Reth." Arac's scales flushed as he turned to look up at the black dragon. “We've been mated for years now."

“Indeed you have. And now, you'll face the embarrassment that comes from such a fact. The way I see it, the Grey Keep is designed to help keep beasts like us protected. I see no reason why your… copulation… should change these protocols." The older dragon prattled on, slowly drawing closer towards the tangled pair. “Besides, many dragons find it flattering when other species view us as… attractive."

“What are you doing, Reth?" Arrum asked, suddenly aware of how close the black dragon was from them. The protective dragon curled around his mate, tail tightening around Arac's frame.

“Examining the two of you." Reth stated matter-of-factly. “It intrigues me to see the two of you so protective of one another, yet also so brazenly promiscuous. Tell me, are the two of you aware of the smells you're producing?"

The black dragon padded forwards as he brought his nose down to their groins. Reth sniffed tentatively, his nostrils taking in the scent of the mated pair.

“It's no wonder that your mating caught the attention of my rider." The elder beast continued, turning to look up at the two dragons before him. “You're broadcasting your arousal to the rest of the caves. Even Vahn could pick up on it."

“W-We can't help it." Arac grunted, pressing back against his dragon. “Every so often it fades, but then it-"

Arac moaned as he felt Arrum's fingers suddenly find their way to his rear. The man's back arched against his mate as he let the dragon openly fondle him. Arac splayed his legs out as he stared up at Reth, scales still flush with embarrassment. He'd only let Arrum see him in this compromised state before. The rider had never considered letting other dragons in on their fun.

“Do you like what you see, Reth?" Arrum asked, spreading his mate's tail hole for the black dragon. A thumb slowly rolled across the pucker before plunging into the soft depths, forcing a wonderful moan out of Arac.

Arrum kept his eyes locked on Reth'd as he followed the older beast's gaze. His rider squirmed atop him as he continued to curl his fingers, his ministrations sending waves of pleasure through both of their bodies.

“We're connected somehow." Arrum began to explain, leaning in and nestling up against his mate's half-muzzle. “What he feels, I feel. It goes beyond anything I've felt before."

“Arrum… please…" Arac panted as he raised his legs into the air. He wanted Reth to watch. It was fun teasing the dragon. New desires welled up within the man as he let himself consider their coupling.

“His pleasure is my pleasure. When he moans, I can feel it." The dragon clutched at his rider possessively as he let the man bounce against his fingers. Arac whined as the two let their needs spill out, heavy shafts bobbing in the cave air.

“Yes, yes. Now that's very cute and all, but the two of you have just gone through a magical distortion the likes of which is undocumented." The black dragon swiped a paw between the two in a lazy attempt to separate the pair. “There's plenty of time for spooning and moaning after we figure out what happened to the two of you."

“Aw, come on Reth. Are you telling me you don't want some of this?" Arrum grinned, his fingers spreading his mate's tailhole for the other dragon to see. Cum still trickled from the sensitive orifice, the tight muscle clenching rhythmically against his sturdy grip. “I can feel his desire. He likes you, you know."

“Of course he does. He'd pounce just about anything with all the teasing you're doing. Pull your hands away from him and prove to me that you are still capable of restraint. That's an order." The dragon hissed as he gave the order, his wings spreading out behind him to assert his superiority. He watched as their squirming slowly settled down, the black dragon's eyes repeatedly glancing back down towards their exposed groins. The two had changed in equal measure, yet both of their transitions had been different. Was this some magic of equality?

“Good." The elder snorted as he tucked his wings, a look of satisfaction on his face. Reth knew that he wouldn't be able to completely separate the odd pair. At the very least, he'd managed to stop their incessant grinding. If the magic wasn't forcing them to copulate, maybe it truly was some measure of their bond? While the beast had never seen such a fate befall a rider and his dragon before, Reth had also never witnessed such an intimate connection before.

Reth slowly padded around the two once more, his gaze intent on annotating their every movement. The pair couldn't keep their hands off of the other, scaly fingers intertwining and sliding along every curve of their frames. In a way they were acting like a newlywed couple; their gratuitous displays of affection displayed in each and every action they took. The squirming beasts were completely self absorbed in one another, the intimate display almost too sappy. If it wasn't for the look of joy in his pupil's faces, Reth would have considered the saccharine moment too unpalatable.

“Alright, you lovebirds. That's enough of that. If you're going to present yourself to the others, you're going to have to do so without prostrating to them. Heads high, tails down. Understand?" Reth spoke at last, tail thumping against the cave floor as he came to a stop beside them. “The Grey Keep is not a honeymoon resort, and the two of you will have to earn your stay. I say this only because I know that some might be hesitant of your… Copulation."

“We can keep our hands to ourselves." Arac offered, his paw currently cupped around his mate's flank. He slowly pulled his palm away from his mate, a soft whine escaping his muzzle as he inched away. “S-See?"

Arrum quickly reached out and snatched at his partner's waist, pulling Arac back against his frame. The two shuddered in relief, thankful to be back in the other's embrace. They hugged tightly as they rolled about, their minds filling with a shared delight as they rocked back and forth.

“What exactly... Am I supposed to be seeing?" Reth snorted, rolling his eyes as he slowly turned his back on the two. “If you two refuse to cooperate, I won't be able to help you save face in front of the others. You do want to stay here, don't you?"

“M-Mhmm." The two quivered as they ground their wide hips into one another, heads nodding as they tried to fight the urges. Arac turned to look back at the black dragon as he felt his mate's shaft grind against his slit. “Just… Give us a second, first."

The Impression

Reth padded back in forth at the mouth of the large cave, his tail whipping about as he circled the opening. His black scales gleamed as he muttered, head shaking as the beast tried to calm his nerves.

“They've been in there for hours." Vahn stated next to him, the rider splayed out on the opposite side of the Grand Hall's entrance. The human leaned back against the smooth stone behind him, eyes lazily watching his dragon pace. “And you've been pacing the entire time."

“I hate that bloody rule, Vahn." Reth spat, ignoring his rider as he picked up his pace. “Just because we're 'close to the situation' doesn't mean we shouldn't have a say in the matter."

“They're not going to punish them. All of the riders knew on some level that Arac was different. And you said the dragons already knew about their… Relationship." Vahn pointed out, reaching down and patting the ground next to him. “Why don't you sit down, big guy? You're just going to stress yourself out if you keep that up."

“Bah." Reth snorted, his tail thrashing once more. The black dragon turned to look at his rider, draconic eyes squinting as he stared down at the human. “What makes you think they'll be alright? The two could barely walk before we-"

“Reth." Vahn interrupted, taking a rather serious tone with the dragon. “Come here. Sit down. They'll be okay. You've been muttering for the past two hours, and I could really use a cushion right now."

“... Fine." Reth huffed as he slowly made his way over to his partner. The black dragon slowly lowered himself onto his side, eyes closing as he felt Vahn's head rest against his softer scales. “But only because you look so exhausted."

“I'm not...Exhausted. You're just..." The rider was interrupted by a drawn out yawn, his whole body pressing up against Reth. “A nice pillow. That's all."

Reth looked to his rider as he watched Vahn snuggle into his side. The man had an arm slung along his scaly back, helping to prop his resting head. The black dragon found himself smiling as he stared at the human. It was at times like this that Reth truly felt he could appreciate the human's company. These moments didn't feel like work to Reth.

Vahn was more than just his rider. He was a friend. A partner.

……

Reth kept his gaze fixated on the human. He watched the man's gentle breathing, chest rising and falling in steady tempo with his own. The dragon could still smell the faint hint of arousal on his partner. For a second, Reth wondered why he kept picking up on the scent. Surely it was negligible enough to ignore?

And yet...

“Vahn?" The dragon rumbled, leaning in to nudge his nose against the man. He took this moment to get another whiff of his rider, drinking in the human's scent.

The rider didn't respond to the heavy snorts that ran across his face. Reth smiled as he debated waking the human once more. Sure, the blurry look on Vahn's face would be wonderful… but he also knew just how tired his partner was. The man deserved his rest.

“My rider." Reth stated, his voice low and raspy. The black dragon slowly shifted his weight as he curled around Vahn, hugging the male with his frame. It was rare for them to ever find a chance to rest like this. Their lives were so busy... How long had it been since the two had last enjoyed a moment's pause like this?

The beast slowly drank in his rider's scent as time passed. The dragon had curled himself around the human, his muzzle now resting close to the man's groin. Reth could swear the smell was getting more pronounced. The beast's nose twitched with curiosity as kept himself pressed against the human. The dragon was unsure what to think of his straying thoughts.

Reth slowly inched his snout closer, nostrils flaring as he huffed repeatedly. His partner's smell was unique; not nearly as prominent as a dragon's, yet quite distinct in scent. Reth thought back to the two lovebirds he'd prepared for the day, his mind replaying the intimate moments he'd witnessed a few nights before. The way they ground against one another… that shared look in their eyes. There were times when Reth felt a spark of jealousy towards the pair. Their strength. Their bond. It was something the entire Keep envied.

Reth was almost completely unaware of his own heavy breathing, his maw near inches away from the rider's groin bulge. The smell was… intriguing. Reth mentally berated himself as he allowed himself to bask in the scent, tongue lolling out of his mouth.

It was at this moment that Vahn decided to stir. The man shifted slightly, hips arching forwards as he adjusted where he lay. Reth's eyes widened as he felt bulged fabric roll against his tongue, the dragon suddenly becoming all too aware of how close he was to his partner. What startled Reth even more, was the fact that he had pushed back against his rider, the dragon's tongue still sliding along the human arousal. He could feel the cock through the tenting uniform, his breathing getting heavier as he realized what he was currently doing.

Teasing. His rider. With his tongue. Reth snorted as he came to terms with how delightful his partner's scent was. He'd always been able to pick up on Vahn's arousal. But now that the scent was building, his tongue sliding along the tenting groin… something clicked within the dragon. Reth shuddered as he let himself entertain the thought of pushing Vahn's arousal further. The needy smell was quite enjoyable to bask in. How far could he push it? How much could he get?

Reth swallowed his own pride as he opened his maw wider, letting more of his wet tongue grind along the bulge. He felt the strange anatomy of his rider's cock through the uniform, the dragon slowly becoming absorbed in his ministrations. He'd never considered watching humans mate before. How would Vahn compare to the dragons of the Keep? The black dragon's curiosity seized as he arched forwards, muzzle pressing tight against his rider's cock.

Heavy pants filled the empty cave hall as Reth gave in to his own desires. He could smell his own arousal in the air now, his slit grinding against the cool stone. Reth huffed as he felt the rider start to squirm, the human's groggy moments resulting in hips arching and bucking.

“R-Reth?" Vahn gasped, reaching out to grip at the dragon for support. The humans cock was damp, his erection pushing against his own body from the force in front of him. The rider reached a hand out towards his groin, gasping in surprise as his hand collided with his partner's gums. Fingers wrapped around Reth's teeth as Vahn arched his groin forwards, the sensations too wonderful to stop.

“Reth?" Vahn asked again, opening his eyes fully to stare at his mate. The black beast responded with a low growl, the dragon's gaze fixated back on him. The human bit his lip as he continued to grind into the muzzle, his body trembling from the sensations. “How did you know? I thought I was…. doing a good job at keeping it to my-"

Vahn's words melted in his mouth as he felt Reth's tongue slip beneath his pants. The massive tongue flexed and coiled around the throbbing shaft, a look of smug delight plastered across the dragon's face. Reth watched the human shudder amidst throes of pleasure. It was news to him that Vahn had kept something like this secret from him. Had his rider wanted this before he had even considered it? Why hadn't Vahn told him?

The dragon growled as he realized his rider had been keeping secrets from him. There were to be no secrets between rider and dragon. Reth pushed forwards with more intensity as he tightened his grip around the pulsing shaft. The dragon knew what had to be done, now. There was purpose in his wet lapping, a need mounting in him for the first time. Reth wanted Vahn to be open with him. About everything.

The large dragon slowly pulled himself upright as he continued to root around in his rider's pants. The sound of wet slurping hastened as Vahn squirmed atop the cold stone. Reth pushed in, muzzle buried deep around the human's arousal.

SNORT.

Hot air pushed out over Vahn as Reth bobbed. He would take this pleasure from his rider. Reth wanted to see his rider like this; humping and panting below him. Vahn had been keeping his need secret from the dragon… But that would last no longer.

“RETH!" Vahn shouted his partner's name, reaching out to grasp at his dragon's horns. He could feel himself cumming, his eyes closed tight as he allowed himself to give in to his darkest fantasies.

Reth gazed upon his rider as hot pulses of seed trickled down the dragon's throat. Another dragon would have him choking down seed at this point, but with the human it was different. The action was simpler. Refined. Sensual. Reth found himself swallowing out of desire to see his rider gasp and buck, causing a strange satisfaction to roll through the great beast. He was taking pleasure out of this. A pleasure he'd never considered before today.

Reth slowly pulled away from the human, his own arousal bobbing between his haunches. He licked at his teeth as he tasted at the human's need. The scent of their mating would cling to them.

“Bathe." Reth rumbled, glancing back at the cave opening of the chambers. The bathing springs wouldn't be too far from here. There, they could wash the scent off of one another. “We will keep this between us."

“O-Okay." Vahn stated after a moment's pause. His eyes were wide, mind still trying to grasp the strange events that had been occurring. In just a few days, his life had changed so much. And now… his dragon was…

“Up." Reth nudged at his mate. “You-"

The dragon coughed as he caught himself on his choice of words. RIDER. His rider! Not his mate.

“Are you okay?" Vahn sat up as he asked the question, his hand freezing in place before patting his dragon on the snout. Physical contact between them felt… different now. A hand on the side was no longer just a hand, was it? The rider swallowed tightly as he watched the dragon shake his head.

“I'm fine. But we should bathe. Now. Before another sees us in this state." Reth cleared his throat between words, watching his rider pull his uniform back up.

“A-Alright." Vahn stated, turning away from the dragon and heading down the tunnel. There was a pit in his stomach, a surge of regret washing over him. What had he done? He'd let his desires get the better of him. What would his dragon think of him now?

“Where are you headed?" Reth called out, his question causing Vahn to turn his head.

“To my room. To bathe. Like you told me to." The human explained, feeling quite small in front of his dragon's gaze.

“No." The great beast shook his head as he sauntered towards his rider. Reth strode around his partner, wing reaching out to nudge at the shying male. The black dragon grinned at his mate, the cocky smile aimed to push past Reth's concern. “You bathe with me now."

-hours later-

“I'm not sure I like walking on two legs." Arrum muttered, leaning against his mate for support. The two were carefully stepping into the bathing grounds, their scaled feet easing into the waters.

“It gets easier. I promise." Arac said, a burly arm helping prop the larger male up. He smiled as he nuzzled into his mate, their tails gently wading through the water behind them.

“Yes, well-" Arrum began, prying himself from Arac's support as he paused. The large beast reached out in front of him as he greeted the water on all fours, a huge splash erupting from the weight of his fall. “I'd much prefer bathing in the water, instead of using one of your blasted indoor rain contraptions."

“You mean a shower?" Arac chuckled, watching as his mate strode into deeper depths. The human didn't bother to hide his gaze, draconic eyes fixated on his mate's haunches. “Better than sitting in communal waters and calling yourself 'clean'."

Another splash of water rocked out across the bathing grounds as Arac joined his mate on all fours. The sensation of his joints twisting to accommodate the quadrapedic motions was still unnerving to the human, but there were plenty of worse sensations out there.

The two had just recently stepped out of one such terrible situation. They were sat in front of a court of their peers; both dragon and rider alike. Their questions were needlessly invasive, and filled with far too much bias. It would take them time to win over some of the more stubborn duos, but Arac and Arrum were just grateful to still be considered part of the Grey Keep.

Arac quickly waded up to his mate as they walked deeper into the half-flooded cave. The evening sun was setting on the horizon, the warm light flooding from the opening beyond. Even after all these years, the vista of the countryside below was breathtaking. Arrum smiled as he tuned in to Arac's feelings. Warmth. Happiness. Love.

Sadness?

Arrum turned to look at Arac, confused to feel that momentary twinge of pain.

“What's wrong?" Arrum asked, nudging his mate beside him with a wing.

Arac just looked forward, his shifted eyes transfixed on one location in the distance. The cogs quickly fell into place for Arrum as he turned to join Arac in his sightseeing.

The two stared at the specific piece of farmland in silence. Years ago, Arac would look up from that small bit of land and dream of something bigger. Arac felt his chest fill with pride as he realized his dreams had come true. But even with this…

“Do you think... they'll recognize me?" Arac asked, the warm light reflecting off of his brilliant red scales.

“They're your parents, Arac. Even if they dont, they will still love you. There will always be love." Arrum rumbled, reaching out and wrapping a wing around his draconic rider. The larger dragon leaned in and pressed his horns alongside Arac's, the two sharing in one another's love.

…..

Arrum frowned as he realized that Arac was laughing. The dragon took a step away from his mate in confusion, cocking his head towards the rider.

“Sorry. I just-" Arac paused, gaining his composure once more. “I just realized I don't have wings."

“Are you suggesting that I have to keep carrying you places?" Arrum scoffed, swatting a bit of water Arac's way with his tail. “You're the one who has gotten bigger!"

The two laughed as they played around within the bath, their worries and anxieties quickly washing away with the water. The two would meet with Reth and Vahn soon, to thank them for their help. Neither party would know just how close they were to seeing one another in the bathing chambers. The scents of both party's matings may have disappeared within these depths, but the effects of their bonding would cling to their very souls.

It wouldn't be long now, before Reth and Vahn found themselves in similar throes.

Both Arrum and Arac had spent most of their lives beside the other. Training. Bathing. Sleeping. Even mating. Their love and affection led to the birth of a bond so beautiful, it could not be contained. Their desire to experience life with one another had sewn their fates as one; bodies forever changed to reflect this bond.

… But a story does not stop at love.

The tapestry of their fates will continue to weave. Each day that passes will continue to challenge and strengthen their compassion for one another. Their love will continue to blossom, and the many residents of the Grey Keep will be forever changed by their bond.

*Well met, mortal. It's been a while since I've mustered the strength to post something of mine. After all, what better story to come back? I hope you enjoyed this continued tale. Arac and Arrum seem to finally understand that they've entered a new chapter in their life. Will Reth and his rider follow their example? If you were dying to get your hands on a different 'Making A' story, don't worry. They're already brewing. These dragons may have been first to reappear, but I hope you stick around to see what other characters rear their heads once more. *

*See you next time. *
