Plese send feedback...and enjoy!  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Last Goodbye  \nBy P  \n  \n  \n  \nKailee kept her head low to the ground as she trudged through the  \nsoft, November sunshine. She watched her shadow, shortened by the  \nnearly-noonday sun, bob and dip over the soft reeds and grasses of the  \nmarshland, sometimes rising up almost her knees in the whispering reeds by  \nthe river's edge, other times dipping away to hide beneath her feet on the  \nsandy stretches of hard-packed earth and saw-grass as she approached the  \nforest's edge. Her backpack, friend of these many adolescent years, was a  \nleaden weight on her back, chafing her shoulder blades uncomfortably.  \n  \nHer feet found the path of their own will, taking up from the lowlands  \ninto the Colorado foothills behind the residential neighborhood in which  \nshe had grown up. Cicadas sang their soft, familiar song in the grass on  \neither side of the trail, seeming somehow to shepherd her along the steep  \ntrail, hidden as they were in the lush, cool greenness of the surrounding  \ntrees. Here was one turn. There the same fallen log she had lightly  \nstepped over a hundred, a thousand times in her youth. And now the rock,  \nthe one that she always imagined looked like a turtle, marked the final  \nturn for her. She pushed through the dense underbrush on the side of the  \ntrail and emerged, blinking, into the sunlight.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; It has always been her special place. When she was much younger she  \nhad found this place quite by accident, and had been instantly entranced by  \nit's quiet beauty. It was her own secret place within the forest.  \nCompletely surrounded by trees, the tiny clearing was as quiet as the soft  \nsky above, broken only in the center by a smooth, flat rock. She  \nremembered lying back on that rock though endless summer days, watching the  \nclouds chase themselves through the little slice of sky that she could see  \nthrough the canopy of leaves above, traveling off towards their secret  \ndestinations.  \n  \nWhenever her big brother had teased her about her new pair of glasses,  \nshe had run here to escape him. When her parent's anger and distrust with  \neach other had boiled over from the confines of their bedroom to spill over  \ninto the kitchen nook in the first 'public' display of the problems that  \nwould soon end their family and their home, she had run here, escaping.  \nWhen a certain boy she had watched with young, budding love in high school  \nhad shown up at the freshman prom with her so-called 'best friend' she had  \nescaped here. To meet with her only comfort,Rishi.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; But that was so long ago.. She was a grown woman now, all of 24 with  \none foot firmly planted in the sticky mire of adulthood, the other still  \ndancing on the dew-wet grass of her youth.. Soon she would be standing  \nupon the unsafe ground of loyalty, responsibility, and Paying The Bills On  \nTime. She was already leaning that way. Her career had taken off like a  \ngunshot from the moment she had left college, and if she played her cards  \nright she could make junior partner in the law firm in about 7 years....  \n  \nBut maybe one more chance, she thought, I at least owe him a good-bye.  \n  \n  \nKailee shrugged out of her backpack...one of the few remnants she had  \nof her time here in the Rocky Mountains, and sat cross-legged on the flat  \nrock in the middle of the clearing. She began to unpack the picnic lunch  \nthat she had brought setting the sandwiches and the thermos of tomato soup  \nout on the flat rock before her. She sat cross-legged on the rock and  \nate in silence....waiting...  \n  \nShe was finished now, preparing to go. She gathered up all the trash  \nand wrappers from her lunch and stood up, stretching. She cleared her  \nthroat softly, the noise too-loud in the hushed forest stillness. \"I know  \nyou're there.\" she said into the forest. \"I know that you've been  \nwatching.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; The forest swallowed her words whole, giving nothing back in return.  \n  \n\"This is it.\" she said, doubt beginning to cloud her voice. \"I'm  \nleaving...and I won't be coming back.\" She sniffed. \"Gone. For good. I  \nthought, maybe....\" she trailed off, uncertain...  \n  \n\"...don't....go...\" rumbled a voice in the underbrush.  \n  \nKailee held perfectly still. \"Ransi?\" she asked hopefully.  \n  \nAnd there he was, creeping out from underneath the dense bushes on all  \nfours, eyes glimmering. Ransi approached her warily, scaled tail twitching  \nbehind him. He was none other than a red forrest-dragon, his  \ndiamond-shaped scales lying flat along his broad back, dappled with  \nsunshine. His muscular hind legs bunched as he raised up, towering nearly  \nten feet in the air over her. His wings drooped uselessly along his back,  \nthin and nearly translucent, shot through with sparkles of gold. Just as  \nshe had remembered him. \"...you...Kailee?\" the dragon growled hopefully,  \nhis amber eyes blinking.  \n  \nKailee smiled, slowly standing up on the rock. \"I've come back,  \nRansi.\" she near-whispered. \"But only for a little while.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Ransi regarded her for a moment with depthless, unblinking eyes.  \n\"Kailee is...bigger....\" he growled simply. She had spent endless summers  \ntrying to teach the dragon a good command of the human language, and this  \nwas the closest he had ever come. He was a huge towering dragon with the  \nvocabulary and speech patterns of a seven-year-old.  \n  \n\"Yes, I have grown up a little, Ransi.\" She moved to stroke his snout  \nsoftly with her hand. \"When we first met I was a younger..girl. Now I'm an  \nadult.\" With adult problems, she added with an interior sigh.  \n  \nRansi bobbed his head, understanding. A sudden gust of wind shook the  \nleaves in the clearing, and the soft shadows became softer still as the sun  \nslipped behind a few dark gray clouds in the sky. Kailee looked up, for  \nthe first time noticing that it looked like...  \n  \n\"Rain.\" Ransi rumbled, wide nostrils flaring as he took in the scents  \ncarried on the sharpening fall breeze. \"Rain soon, Kailee.\"  \n  \n\"Damn.\" she muttered. She had hoped to at least spend at least one  \nmore golden afternoon with her lifelong friend before she had to go. But  \nfat, huge drops were already beginning to fall from the sky, leaving  \ndime-sized dark circles on the ground. \"I'm sorry,\" she said, to herself  \nand to the dragon. \"I never should have come back. I...I can't stay.\" It  \nwas beginning to rain even harder now, the forest sighing with the patter  \nof thousands of drops on thousands of leaves.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Ransi snuffed sadly, the closest that he could come to a human sigh.  \nHe slowly lifted his iridescent wings, arching them over her, protecting  \nher from the mounting torrent of water. \"Stay. Kailee stay....please?\"  \n  \nKailee felt her heart swell with love as she stepped into the shelter  \nof her friend's huge wings. She hugged him fiercely, the rain streaming  \ndown her cheeks mixing with her hot tears. She couldn't leave Ransi. Not  \never. She'd forgotten as she grew up, but being here with him made her  \nremember how his just being there had somehow filled her up inside. She  \npressed her damp cheek against his scaled one, \"I won't go yet. I love  \nyou, Ransi.\" she murmured.  \n  \nRansi pressed himself against her, purring deep in his chest. He  \nplaced his fore claws on her shoulders, pushing her softly backwards to lay  \nagainst the rock. She lay back, relaxing, enjoying the little tent that he  \nhad made for the both of them out of his arched wings. He nuzzled her  \nneck, nostrils flaring as he took in her scent. \"Kailee...older?\" the  \ndragon growled softly, snuffing at her hair.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; An instant before he did it, Kailee realized what Ransi was going to  \ndo. His long red tongue, almost as wide as her hand, lashed out softly and  \nlicked at her belly, rucking up her tee shirt a bit. He had tried this  \nonce before, a thousand summers ago when she was only 12. She had been a  \nlittle confused, thinking that he was just trying to tickle her. It tickled  \nher now, and she giggled. But there was something else beneath the  \ngiggle. Ransi licked again, his tongue tracing across the bare flesh of  \nher midriff and she sighed a bit, feeling herself flush. He was trying to  \ncome on to her!  \n  \n\"Ransi....\" she whispered, unsure of what to say next. She looked  \ndown herself to see the dragon cocking his head to the side as he rubbed  \nhis cheek along her stomach, his eyes peering questioningly, hopefully into  \nhers. She knew that he was smart enough to know that she was going for  \ngood. Maybe this was their last chance. A last chance to be together.  \n  \nWhen he had done this to her when she was young, he had stopped after  \na while, somehow sensing that she was a youngster of her species. But he  \nwasn't stopping this time...and Kailee didn't think she was going to try  \nand stop him. She had always known that this was what she wanted...and  \nwhat he wanted too. She raised her shirt up a little more, cupping the  \nunderside of his snout and guiding it to her pert, upturned breasts.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Ransi's tongue traced slowly up her belly and slid softly over her  \nright nipple, completely covering it in his warm, wet saliva. She shivered  \na little, moans nearly inaudible over the crashing rain. She ran her hands  \nlovingly over his snout and ears as he lapped at her exposed breasts,  \nbreath pluming out over her, warming her. \"Please....don't stop....\" she  \nmewed softly.  \n  \nShe realized after a while that Ransi's huge, powerful fore-claws were  \ntugging gently, ineffectually, at her jeans. She leaned forward, pushing  \nher breasts against his wonderful serpent's tongue, and shooed his clumsy  \nclaws away. She undid her button and zipper and then lay back again,  \nwrapping her arms around the dragon's snout as he licked at her tightening  \nnipples. \"Okay...\" she whispered to him. \"I did the hard part, Ransi. Go  \nahead....\"  \n  \n\"Is...ok, Kailee?\" rumbled the dragon, craning his neck to look down  \nat her. His eyes were soft and full of love. \"Ransi not hurt.\"  \n  \n  \n\"I'ts more than okay,\" she said slowly. \"I love you.\"  \n  \nRansi's claws delicately slipped inside the waistband of her jeans,  \nhooking them and her panties. He slowly drew them down her thighs,  \nexposing the soft, furry vee of her pubic hair. He lowered his snout,  \nsnuffing her down there carefully. She felt his hot breath against her  \nvagina for a moment, and then his tongue as he tasted of her female  \nsweetness. She shivered a little and cried out as she felt his warm tongue  \nfirst moisten her, then penetrate her interior. Ransi looked up at her,  \nbrows furrowed a bit at her cries, and she spoke softly, reassuring him  \nthat nothing was wrong...that he wasn't hurting Kailee. At all.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Ransi's licking became more subtle, his flexible tongue exploring her  \nfully as she gasped and shuddered beneath him. He began to unconsciously  \nhunch forward with every lick, his huge, scaled body beginning to become  \naroused by her soft, urgent whimpers. She looked up into his huge,  \ndepthless eyes, but they weren't meeting hers. The dragon was beginning to  \nbe consumed by his own mating instincts, ones that had lain dormant for  \nyears. She lay back instead, stroking his ears as he brought her  \ncloser...ever closer to release.  \n  \nThe huge dragon's lapping became more heated, more urgent, his whole  \nbody rocking back and forth now as his hindquarters bunched up and thrust  \nblindly forward at the air. Finally he could take no more. With something  \napproaching a roar he reared up, placing his powerful for-claws on either  \nside of her shoulders, and pushed himself against her clumsily, trying to  \nmount her as he would a female dragon.. She felt his warm, pulsing organ  \nfirst slide up her left thigh, and then across her belly in an aborted  \nattempt. She reached between them and gently grabbed his maleness, trying  \nto guide the heated dragon home. Merely holding him in her hand made the  \nhuge dragon begin to buck, his slippery staff pistoning through her fist as  \nhe blindly tried to mate with her hand. \"Shhh...\" she called softly,  \ntrying to calm him down, \"Go easy, Ransi....\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"....can't...\" the dragon huffed, his intelligence dissolving before  \nhis animal instincts,\"...Ransi want....\" the rest was just mewls and  \ngrowls, his heated thrusting never slowing against her hand. She did the  \nbest she could to guide him down into her, looking up at him as he towered  \nover her. He was looking back, eyes half-lidded, tongue hanging limply  \nfrom the corner of his snout. One of his thrusts hit her wet and open  \nvaginal lips, the next one brought him deep inside of her. She felt his  \nhuge staff slide deep into her, plumbing her to the very bottom. There was  \na quick, light \\*slap\\* against her upturned ass-cheeks as he drove himself  \nfully home. She cried out at his fullness, twitching a little as she felt  \nthe first waves of an orgasm begin to wash over her.  \n\"MMMmmohhhh...Ransi...\" she whimpered, wrapping her hands around the stout,  \nmuscular posts of his forelegs to brace herself against the onslaught.  \n  \nRansi mated with her hard and quick; rocking up against her with  \nincredible force behind each stroke, withdrawing only a few inches or so,  \nand then rocking forward again. In only a few seconds she knew that she  \nwas sopping wet down there and headed towards another orgasm. The dragon  \nwas panting harshly above her, his thrusts never slowing in tempo, fully  \ndominating her. She rode him the best she could, trying to hump back at  \nhim to meet his thrusts, but it was no use. She felt another wave of  \npleasure building deep within her, and she closed her eyes, moaning softly  \nup at her lover.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; In the end it was very sudden. Ransi's thrusts became uneven,  \neventually degenerating into mindless animal bucking...and then he locked  \nup against her, his every muscle taut with tension for one dizzying moment,  \nand came deep inside her, his swollen head bumping up against her cervix as  \nhe pulsed his seed deep into her. He roared, and underneath him Kailee did  \nher best to roar back, moaning gutturally as she wrapped her legs around  \nhis tail, holding him there for one sweet, blissful moment. It had all  \nbeen worth it, she thought as a final wave of pleasure swept over her. She  \nwould never say good bye to Ransi.  \n  \nThe End  \n  \n  \n  \n\n"}
