Consolation Prize

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not every day was a win. In the mercenary bussiness, this was especially true. Failure hurt, and not only because there was no pay for them at the end of a job well failed, for Valerie and her dragon it was a matter of pride as well. Though both of them dealt with it a little differently. Valerie could simply dust herself off, get a drink, have her gear fixed and on she went to the next job just fine, already forgetting the loss. Dragons, however, are wired a little differently. Loss, failure was weakness, and weakness among dragon kind was the worst crime of them all. This was especially true for her most trusted friend, Nocturne. Arrows glanced off his beautiful scales like water, but failure lingered.

The flight back to their sleeping spot for the accomodation was long, and even if she was really looking forward to rest, Nocturne had it far worse in battle. Some days she was amazed to see him still fly, no matter how bad the damage to his body was. Their accomodation was set in a tall cliff, more of a shelterd cave then a room, but sleeping next to her dragon was more than worth losing some comfort. Nocturne landed, quietly enduring the process of unstrapping all their gear before curling up in the farthest corner of their "room". Valerie sighed, geting burned, stabbed or hurt any other million other ways, she could deal with. But seeing her dragon in a bad mood? That never failed to shatter the heart. Something had to be done about that, but first she needed to get that heavy piece of junk of armor off her, and do something about that wound on the stomach. Not bad enough to threaten her life, bad enough to grate on the nerves until it was dealt with.

Valerie's arms didn't want to cooperate with underssing her, tired and bruised as they were. Everything hurt, and it was obvious the next day it would be far, far worse. A relieved sigh escaped her as the last of the armor fell away, next came everything else under it. The clothes clung to her body, drenched in sweat and ripped apart in several places, where the piece of shit armor didn't manage to protect her. Finally, she stood nude in front of the dirty mirror, looking herself over. A couple more scars for the collection, she thought with a grimace and turned away from her reflection. A thought of bathing crossed her mind, but if the plans currently swirling through her head came to fruition she would have to take a second bath sometime later during the night anyway, and so it was dissmissed

Nocturne was still lying in the corner of their room, his back to her. To anyone else it would look like the drake was fast asleep, but Valerie knew better. He was too tense, his breathing too quiet and shallow for him to truly be asleep. She sighed again, no matter how many times she told him it wasn't his fault, and that she wasn't dissappointed in him, that he wasn't as weak as he saw himself, after every job lost, it was always the same story. But she knew just the thing that would make the sulking drgaon feel better in no time at all. Walking over to what passed as the bed first, she grabbed one of the large pelts that served as blankets, and then continued on to the wall of red striped black scales that was stubbornly pretending he wasn't in the room.

,,Nocturne,'' he only shifted slightly in response, but otherwise stayed as he was. ,,Look at me,'' Valerie's voice was soft, but had a bit of an commanding edge to it now. ,,I know you're awake so stop it,'' slowly, he started to move with a resigned huff, head low and eyes refusing to meet hers. ,,Wasn't so hard was it?'' she asked, and threw down the blanket on the cold stone floor in front of him. Nocturne was still silent as a statue, still not looking her in the eyes. ,,C'mon buddy, I know today was bad, but don't do this to me,'' she plopped down on top of the soft fur blanket, right in front of his snout. Her hands reached out, palms cupping both sides of his lower jaw and forced his dumb lizard head to face her, beautiful golden eyes finally meeting hers. Out of all of him, his eyes were what always captivated her the most. Two pools of liquid, briliant fire shining in the darkness. They couldn't speak to each other, but in spite of everything that ever happened to them, the love for her shone in them clearer than stars in midnight skies.

,,You need to stop being so hard on yourself,'' she whispered before leaning down slightly and kissing him on the forehead, relishing the feeling of cool scales, his scales, on her lips. Nocturne gave a sad croon in response, his head dipping lower to lick at the shallow wound on her stomach, then continuing on to all the other smaller scratches and cuts. Valerie let him lick her, groaning quietly in relief as the slight healing effects of dragon saliva began to work on her battered body. Excitement began to already build inside her as that strong tongue passed over her abs, already imagining what that wonderful wet muscle was going to do to her. At times like these, there was only one thing that managed to cheer him up, and, well, it has been a while since they had some peace and quiet to themselves. When Nocturne thought her wound was sufficiently taken care of, he raised his head to eye level again, his look screaming ,,I'm sorry''.

,,I know buddy, I know,'' it was one of those nights. ,,You really need to stop being so hard on yourself, but s ince you're not going to listen to me and mope no matter what I say, wanna make it up to me instead?“ she asked with a sultry smirk. Even before his eyes lit up she knew what was going to be the answer, Nocturne never could resist a chance to make her feel good.

Valerie slowly let herself fall down on the spread out furs, enjoying how soft it felt against the skin on her back, slowly stretching her already sore body, both for her own needs and because of the golden eyes glued to every curve. Even lying on his belly, Nocturne loomed over her, eyes wide and drinking in all of her naked body, as if he saw her offering herself to him for the first time again. That look never failed to make her heart race. Fortunately, he didn't stop at just admiring her, and soon there was a charcoal snout pressed under her jaw, an affectionate purr splitting the silence of their room, so deep Valerie felt it through every bone and muscle. His nostrils flared, inhaling deep lungfuls of her scent, spiced with sweat and a faint metallic hint of blood. Nocturne's scales were cool against her skin while his breath was hot like the desert sun, and she moaned a little as his sharp fangs scraped gently against all the sensitive spots on her skin. Valerie raised her hands, alsmost desperately needing to feel him in return, to make his purring deeper by scratching at scales in places she could find just using muscle memory. Nocturne wasn't the biggest drake around, but one wrong move could still be the end of her. Even though he was always careful with her, no matter how lost in their pleasure they got, there was still a little part of her mind that was screaming about the danger of it, only barely percetible through the pleasure. And she wouldn't have it any other way.

When he was done paying attention to her neck, Nocturne's head went slowly lower. He continued to nip her with his teeth too, and giving small licks to each scar and scratch along the way. She could feel his paws getting a hold of her thighs now, and each tip of the impressively sharp claws that were now poking her soft skin. They could rend steel and flesh like butter, and still Valerie trusted him like she could nobody else. Her legs were already spread open, they had been for a while by that point. Nocturne was poised over her moist lips like a viper ready to strike its prey,his breathing heavy and overall looking like a dragon who hasn't eaten in the past five hundred years. Well, at least he isn't sulking anymore. Every exhale teased her, every inhale making her feel exposed in a strange kind of way, sending shivers up her spine, beads of fresh sweat already appearing yet again.

Oh how she missed this, if only she could have him like this each and every night. Lust coursed through her like liquid fire, i serious need of being quenched. ,,Nocturne, please, just eat me out already!“ desperate need shone clear in her eyes. Her scaly companion looked straight into her eyes, his golden ones glinting with mischief, and gave her a long and sloppy lick on either side of her needy pussy, but otherwise left her wanting, a cheeky grin splitting his muzzle. ,,Nocturne I swear if you don't fill me with that tongue right now I'm gonna sell you“ she growled, put one hand on top of this head and pushed it right against her wet folds. ,,Now get to it!“.

With a sassy eyeroll and an exasparated huff he finally obliged her. Valerie pulled away the hand holding his head down and allow him more space to work some dragon magic between her legs, and let herself relax with a content sigh. Wet heat assaulted her labia with practiced ease, rubbing all the right places all at once, he hadn't even pushed his massive tongue inside her and she was already in paradise. The copious amount of dragon saliva making her entire crotch tingle, it's effects activating even though there was no wound to fix. She doubted she coud go back to having anything but a dragon give her head ever again, no man or woman could compare to the velvet length of pure bliss Nocturne had. Both the furs and her crotch were soaked, more by viscous saliva than her own fluids.

Valerie sang her loudest moan yet when her dragon finally forced his tongue deep inside. It twsited, coiled, uncoiled and relentlessly tortured her from within with pleasure not of this world. The magical tingle of dragon saliva was now overwhelming her senses from inside too, turning any coherent thought still left into sweet mush. Nocturne had to actively keep her still while she thrashed and squirmed between his paws, moaning like a whore all the while, the sharp claws somehow only lightly scratching her thick, muscled thighs. There was no chance she was going to last much longer, Nocturne could tell, and so he launched the final offensive. Pulling a portion of his tongue out of her, much to her dissappointment. Which soon turned into a scream of extasy when he rubbed his slick muscle over her exposed clitoris. She thrashed even harder than before, cutting herself a little on his claws trying to hold her still, but that was the last thing going through the dragon riders head at that very moment. If there even was anything there as an earth-shattering climax plowed through her entire body. And Nocturne, the cruel torturer, still continued to assault her weak spots. Her vaginal muscles tried to milk the thing squished between them for all they were worth, but alas, there was no milk to be had. Not yet, at least.

After several long moments, her orgasm finally subsided, leaving her gasping for breath and trembling. Nocturne sucked his wonderful tongue back in with a schlurp, rubbing her sensitive pussy along the way and making her twitch and moan quietly. Since lying belly down on the cold stone floor became uncomfortable a while ago, Nocturne moved to lie on his side next to her. An impatient grumble broke her form her recovery. Without even really thinking about it she shifted up and to the side, allowing her drake to slide a wing beneath her and pressing her body against his chest. ,,That was amazing,“ Valerie breathed out, ,,you're just the best.“ She smiled as he nuzzled her wild hair, a deep purr making her body vibrate again, even stronger than before. She could fall asleep like this, snuggled up against the one person in all the realms who she trusted more than herself.

But no, sleep could come later. Now there was something rock hard and begging for attention between her dragon's legs, an outline of a knot making his sheath bulge visibly outwards. A low croon prompted her to look up, her tired eyes meeting his. The lust and love shining in the golden pools looking down at her. A warble this time, you don't have to. She just chuckled and glanced down at the delicious looking piece of throbbing dragon meat before looking up at him again, ,,look at you, no way I'm bailing on you now!“ Nocturne looked like he wanted to contest her on that, after all, they both had a tiring day, but that didn't last. Not after she teased his sensitive cock with her toes, rubbing them against his leaking tip and teasing the upper ridges. Anybody would be convinced after that, especially an already horny dragon. A victorious grin spread accross her cheeks as Nocturne screwed his eyes shut and growled, and started moving his hips against her feet, getting them slick with pre.

Satisfied that any and all resistance was sufficiently shattered, she stopped teasing him and scooted lower. The drake wasn't the only one who was impatient, even though a fog of exhaustion refused to leave her mind, it was far too long since she had that amazing cock inside her. Those heavy balls promised to fill her nearly to bursting, and that was an opportunity she simply couldn't pass up. Her body protested as she got into the proper position, as if already fearing the soreness that was going to punish her tomorrow, but fortunately for the both of them, his tip was soon pressing against her still drenched pussy. Nocturne snarled through his fangs, the sound being followed by her loud moan as he mercilessly speared her with his lenght with a single thrust. It didn't hurt, not much at least, not anymore, and what little bit of pain there was would not stand in the way of their fun.

Nocturne wasn't playing around this time, setting a hard and steady pace right from the start. It had been too long since they last did this... Valerie's greedy cunt gripped and molded itself around him, barely managing to accomodate him. There was a rather obscene looking bulge in the shape of a thick dragon cock in her belly whenever he slammedit back in even if their position didn't allow him to go fully all out. Humans and draons weren't made to fit together, but Valerie wouldn't allow that stop her, spreading her aching legs as far they would go, opening herself up to be thoroughly bred. Her lower lips stretched out far beyond what a human dick could manage.

Now that his maw wasn't occupied, she could hear him enjoy himself. It always made her heart flutter, hearing his draconic moans, growls and whatever other sounds of pure pleasure he made, knowing it was her who made him feel all the that. Not to mention the muscles that flowed under his scales like liquid steel, or the massive paws armed with claws sharp as knives, flexing and clawing at the pelts below them as he mercilessly fucked her. She moaned with him, there was no way to keep all the sounnds in even if she wanted to, not when all those ridges scratched her so nicely from the inside, and his already swolen knot pressing against her folds a little bit more insisstently with each thrust. There was no way the drake was going to last long, and that was just fine, her climax was rearing it's head again too.

Nocturne slowed his pace, cock buried up to the knot inside her. A choked sound somewhere between a growl and moan added to symphony of pants and soft moans in the momentary lull in the action. Hard as it was, she could still make out the question in his tone. ,,YES, go for it!“ Valerie nearly screamed and braced herself for what was about to come(heh, come) next. Nocturne let out a thankful groan, pulled back, and pushed in full force. Her tired hand roamed down to rub at her clit, this was one of the best parts, even if having a dragon's knot push into you wasn't always the most comfortable expirience, even with copious amounts of lube. After fair bit of struggling and some truly frustrated and desperate sounding snarls from her dragon partner, the knot finally managed to pop in.

If she didn't feel full before she certainly did now, her walls desperately clenching around the overwhelmingly large intrusion. Valerie didn't really have the time to think about how good that felt, since right after came that wonderful sensation of having a volcano errupt in her womb, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar. And then her climax hit for the second time that night. Even with the dragons knot stretching her almost to the limits and doing it's best to plug her soaked slit, it simply wasn't enough to stop all the hot dragon cum from leaking out of her and forming a steaming puddle right under them. His cum was so hot, bordering on painful a little bit, and there was so much of it, it visibly bloated her stomach, hiding the outline made by his rock hard cock.

They were both panting, both trembling, Valerie a lot more visibly, basking in the aftermath. Nocturne showed no sign of softening yet, and she squirmed a little to feel all that hot cum and his wonderful knot shift inside her. Nocturne whimpered a little, and so she stopped with a little giggle, knowing just being buried inside her must have been overwhelming for his sensitive shaft. ,,You were amazing..." she whispered, and smiled when he nuzzled her in response, a deep purr forcing her to relax yet again. At last, it was too much for Valerie, after the hardships of the day and a good fuck, exhaustion finally claimed her after a long and arduous battle. It took a little while for Nocturne to recover some brain function and notice her state. He crooned, the sound full of thanks and love, curled around her, and slowly drifted off to sleep himself. No matter where they went, how many battles they fought, won or lost, as long as he could fall asleep with Valerie safely under his wings, all was well in the world. Tomorrow they'd both be brutally sore, but that was for their future selves to deal with.
