#2 of A Familiar Apprentice

Continuing the story of Takajit and the dragon magician who takes him on as an apprentice.


Chapter 02

On the sixth morning after I met Sul'ava, I woke up and stretched out, yawning hugely. My body was really sore - I wasn't used to such long bouts of travel. Most towns were a day or two apart by road.

It was early - I was surprised at how quickly I was adjusting to the strenuous schedule Sul'ava kept. I stood up and started to collect my kit, but Sul'ava held up a hand.

"Take your time," she said. "There's a stream nearby. If you'd like to bathe, this will be a good time. We won't have another chance before we reach Angarth and we should try to be presentable for our clients."

Our clients? Sul'ava was treating me as much more of an equal than other masters would. Though I was also her familiar - I was still cringing a little at the idea - so maybe she viewed us as a team.

"Coming, Takajit?" she asked, glancing over her shoulder as she headed for the stream.

"Should we just leave our things here?" I asked.

"They'll be fine - I left the protective enchantment up," she replied.

I nodded and followed after her. The stream wasn't very far away. We followed it for a bit until we came to a large pool. Sul'ava seemed to know the area well.

"We won't leave the camp until after lunch," she said. "We've traveled faster than I thought, so we'll make Angarth by tonight and meet the clients, then find lodging. So for now, we can just relax."

I grinned as I looked over the pool. About fifteen feet wide, maybe five or six feet deep at the most. The stream formed a small waterfall at either end where it emptied in and emptied out. There were a few large, flat rocks where the sun beat down - I looked forward to drying myself off on them.

I looked over at Sul'ava, intending to ask her how she knew about this place, but stopped and stared instead, muzzle open a bit.

"What is it, Takajit?" Sul'ava asked, noticing me.

I looked away quickly, blinking. "Uh, nothing," I said. She had her shirt off and I'd gotten an eyeful of her breasts - they were larger than I thought. The dragon was stacked!

"If you're uncomfortable with nudity, I apologize," she said. I could hear her taking off her shorts. "But I'm not terribly fond of clothes, so I hope you won't mind."

Was she testing me? Or teasing me?

She walked past me and into the pool. I couldn't help but look at her as she went by. That's when I got another big surprise - this dragon was not only stacked, she was packing. She had a fairly big sheath and a big set of balls hanging down over her thighs.

I only glimpsed them for a second before her back was to me, but I was a bit shell-shocked. "Uh..."

Sul'ava stopped again and turned towards me. Her body glimmered in the light that filtered through the trees as water swirled around her ankles. She brushed some hair from in front of her muzzle as she watched me. "Yes?" she said, just a bit too nonchalantly.

"I thought you were... um, aren't you..." I sounded like an idiot.

"No," she said. "I'm not. I'm also not the other," she said, grinning slightly, amused at my reaction. "Not what you were expecting, obviously."

"Yeah, you could say that," I said. I tried not to stare, but really, what else could I do?

"Will this affect your apprenticeship?" she asked. "It would be understandable, but keep in mind we're just going swimming."

"Um, no!" I said a bit too forcefully. Truth be told, I was fairly intrigued. "No, it's fine, just... uh, not what I was expecting," I finished lamely. She nodded, almost business-like, and turned back around to step into the water.

"The water's great," she said pointedly, glancing back at me. I nodded and stripped quickly, feeling a bit self-conscious in front of her all of the sudden, and slipped into the water behind her. Her body looked fantastic - very sculpted and toned. Hard abs, firm thighs, large, firm breasts, and, perplexingly, a sizeable male sheath.

I waded towards the far side of the pool, thinking to myself. Why would she have that? Did she still have a... you know? I lowered myself fully into the water as I reached the center of the pool and swam under the water for a few feet. It felt great and momentarily distracted me.

I blinked water out of my eyes and turned around, looking for Sul'ava. She was floating in the water somewhat, her arms up on a few rocks behind her. Her heavy breasts bobbed in the water, showing off the very light-blue, whitish scales forming her cleavage and belly. She was watching me with that intrigued smile still on her face.

I nearly blushed and looked away quickly, focusing on the rocks on the other side of the pool.

"How did you find this place?" I asked, trying to start some small-talk. I felt hopelessly out of my element while she was just floating there, a knowing grin on her face.

"I've known about it for a while," she said. "Found it a few years back. I've wanted to stop by here again when I went back to Angarth."

"It's pretty nice," I said. "Will we be coming back this way later on?"

"Depends on the job in Angarth. We'll probably go farther north, to my old home, before we come back down this way. There aren't too many springs up there."

She was engaging me in conversation? Strange... she usually avoided small talk. She wasn't brusque, but she didn't like needless chatter.

I nodded my head and slipped under the water again, then tilted my head back as I broke the surface, running my hands back over my head fur to slick back my bangs. I didn't have long hair, but it was getting a bit shaggy. Maybe I could get a haircut in Angarth - I still had a few coins left. I closed my eyes and leaned my shoulders against one of the large warm rocks, floating in the pool much the same way Sul'ava was.

That's when I remembered we didn't exactly figure out how I'd be paid. Most magicians paid their apprentices an allowance for things like haircuts. They'd supply food, shelter, and supplies. Sul'ava didn't seem the type to ignore common conventions like that, though, so I didn't worry too much.

The sun felt great on my face as I thought more about Sul'ava. She was definitely strange, but in a good way. Mysterious. Sexy, almost. I kept seeing her body in my mind - beautiful, sleek legs and arms, heavy chest, taut abs, and full, oddly natural sheath

I never really thought about sex too much - I was always too busy with my magic to ever even have a girlfriend. Maybe that was why I felt strange about Sul'ava and the familiarity with which she greeted me in the pool.

I tried to put it out of my mind and think about nothing at all. I slipped a little lower into the water, up to my chin and let myself purr lightly. I felt great soaking in the cool stream after the hard hiking we'd been doing the past days.

I opened my eyes to glance over at Sul'ava and gasped a little. She was leaning her head back onto the rock, eyes closed, and arms drifting in the water. She looked like she was sleeping. But she also had a raging hard-on.

What a monster! Her shaft looked thick as my arm and a damn good length. It floated in the water as I watched, pale-blue and smooth. I felt myself getting hard and blushed, even though Sul'ava didn't know what I was seeing. But I couldn't help myself - her heavy breasts, firm and taut, each capped with a thick, dark blue nipple, combined with her thick dragonstalk, and the rest of her amazing body...

I opened one eye. She still looked like she was sleeping. I could hear her light breathing. My own hard-on made me a gasp a little - I couldn't help myself. The sight of her body was really turning me on.

What's a poor tiger to do? I thought to myself. I gave into temptation and started to rub myself under the water, trying not to move my arm too much.

Casually masturbating in front of my new teacher less than a week after meeting her. Maybe I hadn't learned too well from my mistakes after all.

I closed my eyes again, letting out a very soft hiss of pleasure. She'd really got me going - I couldn't remember ever being turned on like this before, but she was so different and exotic, it was hard not to be aroused. The tunic and shorts she wore definitely did not compliment her physique.

"I'm different from many of my peers in that I don't frown upon student-teacher relationships," I heard Sul'ava say. My paw froze mid-stroke and my eyes snapped open.

Crap.

"They think the teacher should remain stand-offish and slightly hostile towards a student," she continued. I stared guiltily. "I'm of a different opinion."

"W...what?"

Sul'ava was grinning at me, very broadly now. "We're still getting to know each other," she said. "I'm not trying to move too fast. I thought I'd wait till we arrived in Angarth." Shi continued to smile. "But one reason I offered you the apprenticeship was because I was hoping to get to know you physically as well as intellectually."

"Physically..." I said stupidly. "What happened to just going swimming?" I must've looked like a doofus - my paw was still wrapped tight around my throbbing cock.

"Yes, physically," she said. "I'd like to do a bit more than swim with you, if you're agreeable. It's your decision - I have no problem keeping our relationship platonic, if you desire."

"Oh, uh, no!" I said loudly. "Um, no that's okay..." I wish I could've pulled myself together, but I was pretty hopeless.

She raised an eye ridge. "Really? That's good to hear," she said, eyeing me. "I put off getting a new apprentice until I found one I thought was attractive."

"But you didn't know I'd be interested in you," I said, trying to gain a little of my composure back. I finally got my hand off of my cock. Then I realized I just admitted I was interested in her - but that's what she wanted to hear, so I didn't feel too bad about it. It was also pretty clear I was attracted to her from the way my cock was bouncing up against my belly.

"Even so, I had a good feeling about you," she said, gliding towards me. She stopped a few feet away. I watched as water dripped from her neck, sliding over her heavy breasts in tiny rivulets between her small, fine scales.

"Wow..." I said softly. She was really beautiful in the bright light of early afternoon, what with the water sparkles and all. And, just a touch below the water, I could see her large erection, throbbing slowly... I gulped as she came even closer. I still couldn't bring myself to move.

"Uh... so... what now?" I asked. "I mean, how will this affect my apprenticeship?"

Her muzzle was just inches from mine now and she smiled softly. "It can only improve it," she said. Her paw slid over my shoulder and up my neck, stroking my wet fur. I shivered.

"If you're sure..." I couldn't believe what was going on! She was really overwhelming me now. I hadn't considered her sexually until she basically stripped in front of me and now, only a few hours later, she was basically telling me it was time to get in each others' pants!

"I am," she said, smiling. Her lips pressed against mine and I felt her tongue push slide into my muzzle. I was having a hard time remaining upright - I nearly slipped deeper into the water as my knees buckled, but she held me up in her surprisingly strong arms.

"Maybe we should get out of the water," she said softly, breaking the kiss. I nodded mutely - I was fairly speechless, a rare feeling.

She glided over to a large flat rock and climbed up onto it, then lay on her side. I followed and put my wet paws on the rock on either side of her shoulders. She slid her fingers through my damp chest fur as our lips met again. Her long tongue slid easily over my rough one as we kissed again, for a long time.

The sun felt nice and warm on my backside. The rock emanated warmth as well - it was incredibly relaxing. Especially considering how warm Sul'ava felt pressed up against me.

I ran a paw over her neck and breasts, pressing the flat of my palm over one of her large nipples. She groaned a little into my muzzle, so I knew she liked what I was doing. Emboldened, I moved my fingers lower, over her belly. Her scales felt very smooth under my paw - I could feel her muscles beneath, shifting as she moved to press into me.

Her claws slid through my back fur as she pulled me in close, tugging my chest against hers. We kissed again and I slid my knee over her belly so I could straddle her hips.

She was very eager - much more so than she let on, I though. Her fingers tugged insistently at my body, pulling me in close and tight. I wouldn't dream of complaining, though - she felt so smooth and sensual, so different. My wet fur slid over her smooth scales easily - it was an unusual and thrilling experience.

The sun kept beating down, however, and pretty soon my backside was dry. I moved to lie on my side, exposing my front to the sun, and licked her cheek fondly. I was surprised to hear myself purring heavily.

"I'm glad we're doing this," she said. "I haven't done anything in a long time."

It was hard to believe. She was incredible - the way she moved, it was so sensual and easy, it took my breath away. My paw slid down her smooth belly, feeling her scales slide under my pads, until I brushed up against her heavy erection.

She stiffened a little and I looked down, breathing in sharply. I'd never really been turned on at the sight of a dick before, but then again, I never really spent too much time thinking about it. I'd never really been in any relationship because I was always too wrapped up in my attempts at magic.

But Sul'ava seemed so natural and sleek it didn't bother me at all - it just felt right as I slowly slid my fingers down the dragon's thick shaft, all the way to the base, where the thick pole met her smooth scales. Her shaft was completely smooth the whole length up until the head. As I brought my paw back up, slowly and wondrously, I felt her shudder lightly beneath me.

"I've never done anything like this before," I said, feeling self-conscious again. We were in the middle of the woods, after all. We weren't likely to be discovered, but still...

"You're doing fine," she said, smiling up at me. Her long tongue snaked over my neck, teasing my fur.

Emboldened, I gripped her shaft more tightly, trying to fit my paw around it. I felt her hips gently push upwards, pressing her thickness into my paw. I rested my head on her bosom, breathing lightly, just watching her thick shaft slide through my fingers, intoxicated at the sight and feel of the dragon pressing against me.

I barely noticed how hard I was until I felt Sul'ava slide her fingers down between my legs and firmly grip my shaft. I groaned loudly - a bit too loudly, almost - and she smiled.

"Good kitty," she said softly, teasing me. Her tongue slid over the edges of my ears, making me squirm, as her fingers traveled up and down my shaft. I'm not too badly hung for a tiger my size, but I couldn't hold a candle to her. Still, though, her fingers slid up and down my erection, teasing me lightly, making me start to push my hips forward as well.

I was nearly totally dry now - for a brief moment, I realized how long it had been. It seemed only moments, but the sun was nearly at its peak.

What a strange situation I found myself in. Less than a week ago, I'd been a wandering wannabe-apprentice, ready to give up on my dream of becoming a magician and start learning to grow corn.

Now, I was naked on a stone with a beautiful dragon-mage. And I was playing with her dick.

What a world.
