Instead of a grimy cell they get a whole cave, all for themselves! To top it up, their accommodations are occupied by two feisty females. Frisky and tempted by the unruly heat bestowed upon them, the two sisters explore the two arrivals in the most intimate ways possible.

Makaidos left in a chorus of shrieks, roars and growls. The black and blue guards from before flanked him on the way out. One picked the soggy cloth and threw it into a cavern, while his companion settled some of Makaidos' confusion. Makaidos learned his upcoming purpose, but not where he was going. Everything happened so quickly. In one moment he rushed through the caverns, and in the other he was greeted by the night's welcoming chill.

He leaped into the sky, following the two dragons towards the mountains. They went around the circular arena, settling on the smooth slope of a rather small mountain. The black one poked his head inside, sniffed, and came out with a snarl draped over his snout. His blue companion rushed to his side, sniffing and licking the black's twitching lips.

Makaidos had no idea what was going on until it hit him. A smell sweeter than life, and more arousing than a gryphon in heat. His paws trembled with weakness. Makaidos struggled to keep his balance while an involuntary growl left his throat. It was mellow and soft, more a moaning whimper than the fierce growls many dragons made.

"That smell...where does it come from?" Rayik said, shaking his feathery head to clear his senses.

"The cave," the black dragon spoke. "You had the fortune to be paired with two young females just in the bosom of their heat."

"Too bad they're guilty, otherwise we would have claimed them moons ago," the blue one licked his snout dreamily. "Go inside, and whatever you do, hold on to your senses."

"You will regret it otherwise."

The two males nuzzled each other, dipped their heads at Makaidos, then took flight. Makaidos sniffed the musk blown off by their wings. It was more intense than he imagined. If even two guards became weak under a female's influence, there was no telling how a lustful gryphon would react.

Makaidos padded towards Rayik. His eyes were unfocused, darting between his swishing tail and the mouth of the cave.

"We shouldn't enter."

"We can't stay out either, Rayik. Do you want more years added to our sentence after your little incident back in the Chamber?"

"I...I couldn't help myself," he dug his head under a wing. "I know how pitiful my conviction was. How weak I became to allow this lust to control me. But I cannot tame it, Makaidos," he brought his wings down with a hard flap. "I tried, and failed, then tried again."

"Then try. Never stop."

"I will try."

He didn't seem very confident on that. It was somewhat strange to see Rayik so...subdued. Imprisonment really broke certain gryphons. Makaidos hoped Rayik was not one of them, even after all the troubles he caused.

"Follow me, and take short breaths. Distract yourself with what you see and hear, and most importantly do not ponder on the scent or its significance. If you allow your mind to relinquish its grasp, instinct will take over. An when that happens..."

"All males know that, dragon. Just lead the way."

Makaidos took the lead, The smell of fertile arousal permeated the air around him as soon as he approached the mouth of the cave. Makaidos took a step forward. The darkness swallowed his horned head. Then, his forepaws. He took a few more steps, disappearing inside the gloom.

Makaidos blinked. There was light ahead, cast by the flickering flames of Embari lamps. He walked on the cold stone, claws clicking with each step. The smell increased as he advanced, as did the light. The tunnel soon widened into a jagged chamber. Metals, cloths and objects were piled on the edges by the two dragons nestled inside a crescent corner. They were females, judging by their obvious scent, and more alike than any dragon Makaidos recently saw. Both had the same scales, the same wings, the same paws and tails. Even their wet scales glimmered like gemstones, kissed by the faint light of the Embari lamps tied around the stone teeth protruding from above.

He stopped. Both dragonesses looked at him, blinking their fiery eyes. One opened her maw, only to have it clammed shut by her companion's paw. The dragoness muffled a growl until a long lick along her neck soothed her temper. The forepaw released her snout, latching between the cerulean spikes of her neck. The dragoness lowered herself on the ground, tongue sliding over everything it encountered before it stopped at the base of a shivering flank.

Makaidos licked his nostrils and held his breath at the sight. He could almost imagine himself taking the place of that dragoness. Being so close to the wet slit of a female, just within the comfortable reach of her tongue. He dearly expected the female to follow his line of thinking. Poke that fleshy tongue out and sink it deep into the drenched slit shivering just a claw's length away from her twitching nostrils.

She pulled away instead, turning upon the kneading toes of a restless hind paw. She threw her companion a quick glance before she slowly slid her moist tongue between her flaring toes.

A long, hissing growl erupted. The female curled her paw, trying to restrain the restless tongue. It slid like an eel, always escaping between a crevice. The licked female gave up and licked her companion's neck fondly, demanding even more heated affection. That ploy worked well. Her paw was thoroughly bathed by the tongue, claws included.

Makaidos slowly stepped towards the two dragonesses. His blood became hotter, and his scales itched with need. And that was just for watching a paw grooming. He shook his head twice, yet feeble motion could not get the images out of his head. He never thought of nibbling around the claws like that female did, or tickling the space between the toes with the tip of his tongue. It must have been so pleasant, for the female who received all that treatment growled and moaned as if a throbbing cock was lodged inside her.

"We are not done."

"You can wait and watch from there. We don't mind."

"As long as you keep your snouts to yourselves."

They nuzzled and licked each other, whimpering affectionately.

"I...we will," Makaidos said.

His words betrayed him a few heartbeats later, when the scent became too intense to resist. He scrunched his eyes. Distraction. Sight. Sounds. Makaidos looked around the cave. It was empty and desolate, lacking the majesty of a dragon's body. The metals too were dull compared to lustrous scales, and the steady dripping of moisture from above was quite bland compared to the wet licks of the two females.

A presence touched his slit. Makaidos whipped his head around.

"You're getting harder," Rayik observed with a soft chirp.

"It's hard to focus," Makaidos pointed his head towards the exit. "We should go outside before we both lose control."

"What happened to distraction?"

Makaidos gritted his teeth. He hated being proven wrong, especially by a featherhead. "It's no longer on the list. Walk."

Rayik managed to cover half the distance before he stopped.

"I like the smell. It is...alive. It stirs me in so many ways."

Makaidos flapped his wings, dispersing the cloud of sweet aroma from Rayik's proximity. "Let go of it."

"No, dragon. I want to taste it. Taste it before I bury myself into their fertile flesh."

"And have your feathers shredded in the process?" Makaidos hissed and shoved him forward. "Just preen your feathers or scratch your itches instead of getting us killed."

Rayik clacked his beak in displeasure. He pushed himself against a wall, and squawked a moment after. His tail shot upwards, and a soft spraying followed. Makaidos sniffed the moisture. It was seed. Seed mixed with urine.

"Rayik..."

The fool squawked and ran back towards the two females, already unsheathed and lubricated. They turned their glimmering eyes on him. One snarled, while the other slapped her tail in his direction.

The gryphon stumbled back, wings flared, posture tense.

"Nobody interrupts our grooming," one of them said.

"We will greet you soon enough if you wait, or wound you if you come any closer," the other joined in.

"We will wait. Absolutely," Makaidos said. "Apologies for the disruption my partner caused. He is easily distracted by any female, not just two fine dragonesses such as you. He even mated a feline once when we were out hunting."

"Says the one who mated a gryphon!" Rayik shot back.

Makaidos jumped and restrained the smaller avian under his paws. "Argue later. Dragons do not hold interruptions in high regard, nor they appreciate boasting visitors inside their caves."

"You are hurting me more than they do, dragon. Just...just let me taste them."

"No," Makaidos insisted. "Get that lust out of your head, or I will do it for you."

Rayik grabbed a finger inside his beak and squeezed. Makaidos ignored the pain. Better have a weak beak around a finger than a dozen fangs puncturing his neck.

The dragonesses were quite amused by the sight, looking from different angles and licking their snouts in anticipation. It didn't take long for them to return to their grooming though. The one with the silver bracelet laid on her side, exposing herself to the licks and touches of her companion while she slowly slid along her belly.

Makaidos expected her to continue along the tail, but the female stopped, hovering above the slit squelching ahead of her. She inhaled the aroma with audible sniffs, then pushed her snout hard against it.

A moan rippled throughout the cave. Paws clenched, wings flapped uselessly, and tails coiled around each other as the lewd licking intensified. It was loud and hungry, just like the growl reverberating from the female's throat. She grabbed and shivered helplessly. Makaidos could only wonder how good that felt. To have a lengthy tongue rubbing and lapping all the fluids residing inside a female's slit.

He didn't have to wonder for long. The licky dragoness tilted her head to the side and cleaned her dripping lips with a long swipe. Then, she licked along the exposed slit, wriggling her tongue along the fleshy edge. The slit quaked under the stimulation. Short whimpers burst forth, calmed only by the incessant licking. The dragoness ate that flesh out with gusto, while her companion writhed in the pleasure's warm embrace. Short licks warmed the ground for deeper ones. Makaidos tensed when he saw that tongue sinking deep into the embrace of soft, exposed flesh. He throbbed helplessly hard, slapping himself against hard scales as he oozed shards of precum onto Rayik's feathers. The gryphon squawked silently, awestruck by the feast presented before their very eyes. He was shivering, barely able to restrain himself.

Makaidos tightened his grip. He knew the assault wouldn't last for long. The females snarled and grabbed each other tight. They started rubbing, although their slits always failed to kiss one another. The licked female whipped her tail out of that coiling mess and slapped it against the pale underside of her companion's belly. She hissed in displeasure, only to choke on a moaning growl a moment after as the nimble tail pierced her with a sudden push.

The females gave in with long, piercing growls. Spurts of clear arousal fled their lips. Makaidos only saw fragments of flesh as a hungry head blocked his view. He tilted his neck around, though he could only see the trail of slime expanding onto the wet stone. The roars lessened, giving way to wet, squishy suckling. Makaidos licked his own lips as he shove his full blown erection into bare air. The smells became a choking haze of arousal. He felt as if he could release on the spot if he tightened hard enough. Makaidos tried. He clenched his slit rhythmically, bringing himself closer to his peak until a growl broke his concentration.

"You may approach," the one with the wet snout said.

Makaidos leaped away from Rayik to lick the slime off her scales. He ignored the hissing snarl, dabbing his tongue quick to scoop the fertile essence inside his maw. He wanted more. A lot more. So he crouched low to the ground, ignoring the cold stone pressing upon his member as he sought the female's slit. He slurped towards it, only to have rows of fangs wrapped around the back of his neck. He shifted on his side, moaning his submission.

"Instincts," he stuttered. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have."

"No harm done," the azure female nuzzled his neck. "I will allow you to explore me after I explore you."

"How...how does that work?" Makaidos asked, still dazed by the heat meddling with his mind.

The dragoness embraced him with a wing and led him into a secluded corner, away from Rayik and the other dragoness. Her nostrils flared sniffing insistently around the gryphon's engorged cock. Makaidos felt the need to intervene. He ignored the warm tongue sliding along his cheek.

"Rayik!"

"Leave him," the dragoness blocked his path. "You are mine now."

"I...what?" he cocked his head in confusion.

"We had this custom when we lived in the wilds. A dragon that crossed our path or flew into our cave was ours to sniff, lick and explore. Only after we gained this intimate knowledge did we allow them to fly back."

"So I can explore you as I see fit?"

She dipped her horned head in response

"And lick wherever I please?"

The dragoness nuzzled around his restless nostrils. "I am yours until you finish. Then, you will be mine."

Makaidos' teeth clattered at the soothing breath flowing along with her melodic words. He proceeded to sniff around her snout. Traces of slime still lingered beltween her scales. He licked those quickly, savoring the taste of female arousal. The dragoness closed her eyes and pushed into his caress. She felt so warm. Makaidos whimpered needily as their snouts touched and brushed against each other. He hasn't smelled, tasted or felt a dragoness in so long. He craved for warmer, deeper contact. He craved to mate her.

Makaidos pulled back. Squirts of precum splashed against the ground. The female noticed his predicament, taking a quick peek at the soaked member smacking against his belly.

"I want to mate you," Makaidos allowed the words to flow out of him like his raging lust.

"And you can," the female flared her wings. "After we inspect each other."

The promise of a fertile cunt wrapped around his cock spurred the dragon's heated instincts. He went around the limp female, sniffing her insistently. Her brilliant scales held many scents. Places she visited, dragons she touched, dirt and vegetation she rubbed against. They were all pleasant, yet not as delightful as her natural scent. It wafted from beneath her tail, taunting Makaidos with promises of warmth and fertility.

The dragon hissed with longing and forced himself to go about this properly. He slid along her serpentine neck, then followed along the joint of her wing. The sky blue membrane shivered against his breath, jerking every time he licked.

"It tickles," the female flapped playfully.

Makaidos followed along her rump, catching a tantalizing whiff of her aroma before he descended towards her paw. The dragoness lifted it. Dirt caked the sharp tips of her snow white claws, along with the inner pads of her toes. Makaidos swirled his tongue around, coaxing a most delightful growl out of the female's neck. She swished her tail suggestively, encouraging the male to turn his attention elsewhere.

Makaidos flowed across it, feeling the soft scales and the hard spikes bumping into his snout. They receded halfway through, leaving only smooth scales until the tapered tip. Once he sniffed and licked it, Makaidos rounded the dragoness and performed the same insistent inspection for her other side.

"Satisfied?" he asked once he reached her snout.

She gave him a quick lick between the nostrils, eliciting a short whimper out of the male's throat.

"Very. There is one last part you have yet to taste."

Her slit... Makaidos shifted on his paws. His cock became harder and his balls tenser as he imagined himself slinking deep inside those coated lips.

"I...I don't want to," he growled heavily.

"You do. I felt it in your breath. In your touch. Upon your scales," the dragoness nibbled along his neck.

Makaidos relaxed with a growly sigh. "I will lose control."

"And?"

"I don't want to subdue and mate you without your accord."

The female dropped on her side, tail swishing expectantly behind her quivering slit.

Makaidos avoided looking at it until a pair of forepaws dragged him closer to the female's chest.

"I want you to taste me, dragon. Do it, or I will force your tongue inside me."

Makaidos moaned his agreement, and the clutch quickly receded. His flaring nostrils slid closer to the fleshy vent, inhaling copious amounts of her essence. It was an intense, irresistible scent that enslaved his instincts before he could blink. Makaidos couldn't restrain himself even if he wanted to. He pushed his tongue between his clattering teeth and tasted her with one long, tantalizing slide. Her heated muscles shivered at the touch. Warm fluid latched upon his tongue, squelching with every spasm of her folds. Makaidos slurped the silky moisture deep into his maw. An explosion of fertility assaulted his senses along with sweet, stringent taste.

"There," he managed to say. "I licked you."

"It was barely a taste," the dragoness wrapped her hind paw around a horn and pushed him down. "I want a proper licking."

Makaidos splashed into her wet folds. Liquid invaded his nostrils when he breathed and flowed upon his tongue when he sucked in some air through his maw. The sudden contact was just what the female needed. She pushed her lips hard into his snout, forcing them to spread apart.

Makaidos pulled back, growling vengefully. He shook her paw off, then sunk his tongue all the way into her sweltering flesh. She was flooded down there, and unreasonably strong. Every push sent her into a quaking fit of strong spasms. Makaidos ate her out with feral lust, stopping only when the female kicked him away.

"Close enough," she tended to her oozing lips, licking with careful strokes of his tongue.

"Did I...?"

"Almost," she bumped into a forepaw. "it's my turn now. Please try not to spend your seed outside me."

Makaidos tried to say something aside from lustful growls, but he couldn't. He was far too aroused to care about anything else other than release. The dragoness slid like an ephemeral presence around him, unknown and unnoticed until her warm breath flowed upon his cock. Makaidos whipped his tail around, snarling with desperation.

"N-not there!'

"I have to taste you," the female slid her tongue hungrily along her exposed fangs.

"You just said-"

"I know, and I will be careful."

She started with his tailhole. Makaidos loved her heated tongue around that certain part of his body. She had a much longer lick than Rayik, and slid much deeper. He flapped his wings and scratched the stone below his paws, trying desperately to reign in the harsh throbs that wracked his enraged cock.

"Who loosened you such?"

"Gryphon," Makaidos said quickly. "He knotted me. Multiple times. And he remained inside."

"You must have released quite a load," she pushed his balls with her tongue, poking the sack around until the male dropped on his back. Drops of cloudy fluid resurfaced from his cock. It was seed. Makaidos knew even before catching the musky scent. His balls were on the verge of unloading their essence.

The dragoness sniffed, then played her tongue along the hard crevice of his slit. Makaidos kicked at the air and roared harshly when her heated flesh touched him. She stubbornly continued along his throbbing cock, slurping the wet sheen coating the vein beribboned flesh.

"Ssss-stop!'

She pulled her tongue back. Makaidos breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he tensed all over when his spaded tip was encircled and squeezed by her muscular tongue. He squeezed his eyes shut and thrust, spurting cloudy jets high into the air. The dragoness pushed her snout into the line of fire, whipping her tongue around the stream until the fierce jets were reduced to mere dribbles.

"Did you just spend yourself?"

Makaidos slapped the ground with his tail, unleashing his heat with a harsh roar before finding the strength to speak. "It's still inside. My seed...still inside," he pawed towards his plump balls.

"Not for long," the female kissed the perky sack. She walked above Makaidos, passing her dripping slit over his snout.

He poked his tongue at it, feasting on her fluids. The female shivered and dropped on her back a short distance away from his head. Her tail came on the side of his neck, rubbing along his scales. Makaidos licked it twice before he looked back. A clenching mass of puckered flesh stood below an appetizing crevice. Puffy lips were draped on each side, meeting with every shuddering spasm. Clear drops oozed out to dribble along the sky colored scales and then onto the dry stone below.

"See yourself inside me, dragon, but do not fill me with your seed. I do not want to be burdened with your clutch."

Makaidos licked his nose in confusion. "Why are we mating then?"

"To feel," the female spread her flanks to the side, offering a glimpse of what hid inside her puffy flesh. "I want your cock inside me, not your seed. You can spend that elsewhere?"

Makaidos still shook his head.

"On the rock, on my scales, inside my maw if you have to. Anywhere but my slit."

It was a strange request, but Makaidos was much too aroused to argue. He carefully picked himself up, straddling the sapphire female with slow, measured steps. He passed her tail first. Two spurts wet her scales before his cock stood right above that pink, fleshy shelter.

"What if I burst inside you?"

"Make sure you don't," she growled.

Paws wrapped around his neck. Makaidos was shoved right against her parting snout. A wet tongue darted around his eyes, pushing and sneaking between his lips. He opened his mouth to taste her. The female growled with affection. She coiled her tongue with his, explored his fangs, then pulled back to graze warmly under his jaw.

"Inside me, dragon. You act like this is your first time."

"It is. I never mated a female before."

She was slightly surprised by that, but not discouraged. When Makaidos felt her tail around his balls, he knew he really needed to be quicker. He aligned himself to her slit, then slowly eased himself onto her.

"You are supposed to thrust. Feel for my entrance instead of...whatever you are doing."

"I like it softer," Makaidos hissed.

They both exchanged words for growls when their sexes finally met. Heated moisture groped around Makaidos tip. He smacked his jaws, trying to keep his member in one place. It kept slapping and unleashing its essence, enraging the female's lust.

"Slide in already!" She roared impatiently.

Makaidos sought purchase on his shivering paws. He crouched, pushing harder against the wetness. Her folds parted without a single sliver of resistance. Makaidos' tip pierced her silky folds. He barely managed to roar out his lust. The female clenched hard around him. The spasm of sheer bliss paralyzed him. His legs gave in, forcing his cock to sink all the way to the slit.

The female's throat erupted with a harsh cry, while Makaidos just choked on his own roar. He never felt such intense heat around his member before. Never delved inside something so slick. Hard muscles embraced the entirety of his cock, assaulting it with spikes of mind numbing pleasure. Makaidos throbbed and spurted his lust with helpless abandon. For every movement he made, the walls squeezed tighter, increasing the incessant rubbing around his cock.

Makaidos managed to moan his erupting delight. He desired nothing more than spend himself inside. His instincts urged as much, yet the dragoness request squeezed him harder than her squelching slit. He had to pull out. Escape, before days worth of abstinence spilled inside her defenseless womb.

With a harsh snarl, Makaidos pulled himself up. His cock slid out with a wet plop, only to dive back in when the female's paws pressed him down upon her belly. Makaidos was violently shoved back inside. His balls lurched from the slam, and his cock tensed much too hard.

"Too close..." Makaidos snarled between clenched teeth.

"You feel so good. So hard..." the dragoness licked and nibbled his neck with lustful vengeance.

Makaidos shook her off, pressing his bare fangs against hers. "It's coming....coming fast..."

"Remain."

"You said-"

"Remain," she mewled weakly. "Spill yourself and fill me."

Her eyes were scrunched shut, and her lips trembled too harshly. Those were her instincts talking. Makaidos knew he had to get out before the flood was upon him. He summoned all the strength he could muster and pushed himself up, sliding the entirety of his length in a mighty pull.

He snarled with frustration. Pressure built inside his slit, too hot and strong to ignore. Makaidos stumbled back. He thrust along her scales, not caring where he burst. His cock already dribbled with strands of milky fluid, announcing his imminent release.

Something warm touched his tip. Makaidos didn't think. He pushed in as deep as he could. His spaded cock spread the puckered muscles apart, then disappeared into their fold, and the rest of his cock followed. His cock slammed itself all the way inside the packed shelter. The dripping tip lubricated the way, allowing the dragon to slide smoothly all the way to the balls. It was tighter than he could imagine, and unbearably hot. The warmth attacked his cock with vengeance, begging the strong flesh to release its load. Makaidos was just about to do that, when his balls were pressed hard against the female's tail.

The same tail that rubbed along his flank and prodded around his tailhole. With a single thrust, it sunk inside, dry and hard as it was.

The spiking pleasure sent Makaidos over the edge. He pressed his balls harder, forcing them to explode with strain and fertile seed. Makaidos cried out his bliss as it rushed through his rock hard cock, then released a shuddering roar when the first spurt dug through the female's clamping muscles. He loosened hard, thanks to the tremendous pressure slinking into his depths. The tail reached past his prostate, applying unbearable amounts of pleasure.

Makaidos shivered hard and pumped even harder. Jets of hot seed spurted out from his spasming cock, washing over the female's tight hole. She writhed and clawed at the air in delight, toes spreading and curling with the rush of pleasure. Makaidos grazed around her neck, moaning between every bite. It felt so hot and good inside her. He kept his load inside for days, dreaming of this release. Now that he finally found a sizable sheath for his cock, Makaidos was not willing to pull back until the last drop fled through his spaded tip. So he pulled out, then slammed back inside, working his seed coated cock along the spasming muscles. The dragoness snarled fiercely. Her tail was whipped into a frenzy, emulating the male's heavy thrusts.

Makaidos melted in the throes of the unexpected pounding. He crashed on her chest and spurted long and hard inside her while his claws raked the stone. He was just as hard. Every muscle in his body was as he spent himself down to the last drop.

Rayik's screech burst a few moments later. Makaidos was too worn out to be bothered by the avian's bliss. Buried deep inside his female, all he worried about was the next gooey throb and the strength needed to expel it.

The dragoness allowed him to remain inside for as long as he wanted. Only after his cock started shriveling Makaidos found enough strength. He stood up on shaky legs, hissing blissfully as a flood of seed erupted from the female's drenched hole.

"You had quite a bit in you," she curled her neck to lick her soaked slit.

"I can say the same, female. I felt you throb and spurt under me long before I impregnated your tailhole."

"You released quicker."

"And you liked it."

"I do not deny your prowess, dragon," she licked her lips off the dribbling fluid. "Finding my other hole was quite a surprise given your lack of experience."

"And if I coated your scales?"

"You would have remained on the ground until you scooped every last drop."

Makaidos cleaned his seed nonetheless. He liked tasting his essence from the hole he just filled, and the dragoness had no objections to that. She laid back on the ground, sliding her tongue between her claws and hissing whenever her tailhole gave a stronger spasm.

Once she was cleaned, she picked herself up, gave Makaidos a long lick of gratitude, then joined her companion. A bit of envy slithered under the male's scales as he watched the dragonesses nuzzle and embrace each other with wings and paws. He wanted to be a part of their group. To share their warmth and essence upon his scales when they piled into each other.

He was halfway tempted to join them, but then he noticed Rayik. The gryphon strode with a happy gait, wings flared, beak parted by heavy breathing. His feathers were muddy, just like flaking dirt, and his form lithe and scrawny. He was so ugly, all of a sudden. Why?

Makaidos tried to disperse his thoughts with a shake of his head. It was the mating. Instincts that urged him to choose a dragon by corrupting his view on any other species.

"Why do you shake your head like that?"

"Strain," Makaidos lied. "She was quite vehement about this inspection. I had to sniff and lick her from the tips of her claws to the far edges of her wings!"

Rayik squawked happily. "I did the same. Quite difficult to do when my seed rained down on the ground. I tried to subdue her, but she was stubborn like any dragon."

"No balls to squeeze this time?" Makaidos growled with amusement.

"I will find a way, dragon. I always do."

"I am positively convinced of that," Makaidos sat on his haunches. He flinched when Rayik rubbed along his wing. The memories of pain were still vivid inside his mind.

"She felt warm, like you," Rayik cooed. "I never thought I can enjoy a dragon so much. She pulled me in right after I pierced her."

"How soaked was she?"

"Dripping wet," Rayik clacked his beak. "I never had the pleasure to spill myself between such heated walls. It felt so...so..."

"Words can hardly describe what a proper mating feels like," Makaidos continued.

"Indeed," Rayik snuck a forepaw along his belly, clutching the male's spheres. He squeezed gently, then nuzzled his beak along his jaw. "I liked your hole, dragon. You are tight, and warm, and liberating, even when I have to discipline you to get what I need."

"You need too much, Rayik," Makaidos stood up. Rayik followed, confused by what just happened.

"I was just complementing the better half of your race. Why did you leave? How have I harmed you?"

"Memories last longer than wounds, Rayik. I just..." Makaidos growled. "I'm tired, and spent. This day was too long."

"I will see if there is any meat we can feast on."

Rayik's search yielded nothing. Servants brought in everything. The females went outside and returned with two walking canines upon their backs. They emptied the contents of the sacks and poured water into the metal treys, then rushed out of the cave.

Makaidos refreshed himself with gulps of icy cold water. The meat was much better and fresher than what he ate inside the Spire's prison. He enjoyed every bite, and savored every drop of blood from the scales of his kin. With the meal finished, the dragonesses retreated into their customary corner. Makaidos approached, eager to share their warmth. A soft growl warned him that was not the case.

He dug his own shelter behind a pile of useless metals and curled around himself. Claws clicked on the stone. Makaidos's heart leaped with joy, only to sink when he saw Rayik's dirty plumage. He snuggled under a wing, pushing just under his head. Makaidos allowed him to stay. A bit of warmth was better than none, and at the moment, a muddy gryphon was all he had.

He woke up to warm sniffs and equally warm nuzzles. Makaidos blinked his eyes open. This time, it was a dragoness that greeted him, with a wet, affectionate lick along his cheek. Makaidos stood up at once. The motion disturbed Rayik, and in turn his angry squawks bothered the other female. She sealed his beak shut with a forepaw and held it like that while her companion talked plans for the day.

So smoothly. So clear. And most importantly, without any squawks in between. Makaidos darted ahead, squeezing himself between the two females while Rayik shrieked his avian noises from behind. He couldn't afford to be a pest in the cave, so he did it outside, with his prodding and tail lifting. The females flew away at once from the range of his beak.

Makaidos followed them swiftly. He spent most of his energy flying. It was exhilarating chasing his own kin through the skies. Dragons had a harder time pulling sharp turns, and that allowed him to catch the tail of his competitors many times. Rayik played by different rules. He liked slapping wings and antagonizing every dragon in his weird, gryphon ways. With the sky chase ruined by the pestering squawker, the females settled for a quick flight around the mountain. They presented Makaidos their training perch, which was actually a small clearing at the foot of the mountain. The thick vegetation reminded him of the aviary, and Trys' inspection hollow. Did she receive another dragon visitors? Makaidos knew he wasn't the only one. Trys spoke about another female. GoldShard or SparkScale or something. Makaidos only remembered fragments from that, yet he certainly knew that golden female was much colder than the sapphire sisters.

They revealed their family ties inside the heated pools secluded in the mountain's belly. Both were born on the far reach of Neruvriel, near the IceFang mountains. They favored the simplicity of nest life and due to their bond they never felt the need to search for a male. Curiosity led them into the wild lands where a dragon impregnated them with a clutch. With heavy bellies and swelling hopes, the females searched for a territory of their own.

Only that wasn't as easy as they expected. Their mate turned out to be a Spire underling, paid in gold and metals to deliver the eggs of expecting females. The two sisters hated relinquishing their young, yet they had no choice. Once a flier flew inside Are'lan, it remained there for life. The females were forced to adapt to the life inside the Are'lan's area of influence, becoming ambassadors to their kin, just like Makaidos was. Due to their heritage, they were sent to the rugged lands of the East to negotiate with the wild frost dragons inhabiting the snowy mountains. Makaidos was surprised to hear ice dragons still existed. Most were considered myths after the last Conquering. He inquired about them, yet none of the females was eager to part with this information. Their maws remained firmly shut, opening only when the hot water stirred their senses. They both released with shuddering growls, filling the water with their liquid lust.

Makaidos was close to the edge when they flew away. He contemplated remaining alone with Rayik, yet the gryphon's need started to swell just like his cock. Makaidos allowed the insistent bird inside him, if only to stop his prodding and squawking. Rayik only shoved the tip inside, allowing his knot to remain bathed in the hot water. That made for hard, relentless squirts that drained him of his vitality faster than any other orgasm.

Makaidos had to carry him back to the shelter. When he arrived, an armored dragon stood outside the cave, rubbing necks with the two females. His swishing tail and constantly shuddering wings hinted at his gender as much as his half exposed cock did. The dragon spoke quickly, then took off with a wailing roar.

"What did he want?" Makaidos asked.

"He just carried words."

"Along with seed."

"Which he seemed reluctant to spend."

"One at a time," Makaidos growled softly.

The dragonesses licked each other and separated. Rayik followed one of them inside, leaving Makaidos alone with the female he bred a day ago.

"SkyTalons are never here without reason."

"He had one. The arena is ready to receive you, grey male."

"Grey..." Makaidos growled with amusement. "It's Makaidos. We inspected each other and shared more than I ever did with a female, yet I forgot to tell you my name."

"It happens," the female approached. "Mine is Sari, given by my mother. The Spire forced me to bear another, and I always refused."

"Was she a frost dragon?"

Sari looked away. "It is a long tale to unfold, and your first fight is about to start. Do not keep them waiting."

Makaidos prepared to take flight before he realized a crucial truth. "Where do I fly?"

"To the arena, you silly male!" Sari nudged his neck. "Or is that big circle of stones too hard to find?"

"It's my first time, Sari. Your guidance will be more appreciated than you know."

"I expect that."

"Your sister seemed quite reluctant when I approached you yesterday."

Sari nuzzled the membrane of her wing. "She...we do not trust males very much after the Spire incident. That is one reason why I forbade you to spill inside me. Seed just brings more pain than joy."

"But the heat-"

"Tails and tongues," Sari, brought hers around, then flicked the tip around her snout. "The urge also passes without any intervention, but I could never hold myself back more than a quarter moon. My sister lasted even less."

"How does it feel? The heat?"

"Irritating, just like your questions. We have to fly, Makaidos. Spread those limp wings and follow me."
