XP","content":"Lives for Sale: Lola and the Dragons\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nLola woke the next morning.\u0026nbsp; It had been so long since she'd had such a peaceful sleep.\u0026nbsp;She had expected her first master would rape her, take her virginity, make her cook for him, but Maestro Rosso had been so different.\n\nShe thought back over the previous night, everything after that wonderful meal.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAfter the meal, Lupe and Rita became playful and started wrestling the great red dragon.\n\nAll the other girls, even his wife, took bets on who could topple the master.\n\nLola was amazed, he seemed so jovial the whole time.\u0026nbsp;He would casually steal gropes and kisses of his combatants, then they would return his affections.\u0026nbsp; Eventually, it was Lupe who took him down, and as winner, she massaged his crotch until his cock sprang free from his draconian slit.\n\nLola had blushed to see her master's penis for the first time.\u0026nbsp; At full erection, it was as long as her own forearm, its flesh was purplish with barbs around the ridges of his glans.\u0026nbsp; It wasn't a pretty thing, but the wolfess held it as her trophy while she licked it.\n\nLola watched Lupe lick the thing.\u0026nbsp; The dragon laid on his back content to let his victor service him.\u0026nbsp; His vision was soon obscured as the loser, Rita squatted over his face and spread her vulva for him.\n\nRosso reached up to hold the hyena bitch's hips tight as he lapped hungrily at her plump pussy lips.\u0026nbsp; Lupe did not want to be outdone by her rival, so she deepthroated the dragon's cock.\u0026nbsp; His hips bucked to every experienced suck she gave him and she held him down so he couldn't thrust however he liked, she was in control.\n\nHe didn't care right now, he currently had his tongue deep inside the brawny hyena's snatch.\u0026nbsp; Rita moaned and purred while the dragon pleasured her.\n\nLupe felt she'd lathered the dragon's cock enough.\u0026nbsp;So she sat up, then mounted him.\u0026nbsp;She spanked the hyena in front of her, got a tongue stuck out at her for the trouble.\u0026nbsp; She hid the smile she got from that, then sank herself down on her master.\n\nRosso moaned fitfully in his hyena fem's snatch as he felt the tight wolf vulva submerge his penis.\n\nLola, who had been molested, beaten and nearly raped under the eye of that despicable weasel, was genuinely surprised to see this dragon let his females dominate him.\u0026nbsp; Then, she noticed the other ladies became aroused and started playing sexual games with each other.\n\nDonna, the rabbit girl was eating the pussy of Delia, the pregnant wife of their captain.\u0026nbsp; The dragoness purred pleasantly as she was pleasured by the smaller female's adept tongue.\n\nThe two friends Lola had made, Piccola the opossum and Katy the meerkat, were engaged in a little 69 action.\u0026nbsp; The meerkat was on top, growling as she spread the marsupial's pussy then nibbled on her tender insides.\u0026nbsp; Piccola held the kat's muscular butt tight while she lapped her slit and fingered her hole.\n\nThe grackle female even felt herself become aroused as she watched those two.\u0026nbsp; She felt a scaly hand touch her side.\u0026nbsp; She turned and a pretty anole female looked back at her.\n\nThe thin green lizard led a curious Lola to another corner of the tent.\n\nThere were the last two of Rosso's females, a ferret and a pine marten engaged in a deep, passionate kiss with one another.\u0026nbsp;Both broke their embrace briefly as their third wheel approached.\n\nThe anole gestured eagerly to the new girl she'd brought with her.\n\nThe two mustelids both nodded and Lola was quickly dragged into their foursome.\u0026nbsp; The last thing she remembered was Rosso's passionate roar and Lupe's orgasmic howl as the dragon flooded her with his seed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe black bird woke fully as she realized there were two warm bodies flanking her own.\u0026nbsp; Wrapped in her feathered arms were the ferret and marten, Tara and Rusty, their naked bodies spooning her own, their nearly identical breasts pressed into her sides.\u0026nbsp; Lola exhaled before the tent flap suddenly opened.\n\nThe anole girl, Carol, came back in carrying a roll of some paper.\u0026nbsp; She stuffed it back in her travel bag before noticing Lola was awake.\u0026nbsp; If a lizard could blush, she'd be doing it right now.\u0026nbsp;\"Sorry, sorry, uh, nature called.\"\u0026nbsp;She grinned nervously.\n\nLola smirked, \"It's fine, at least you don't have to do it all out of one hole.\"\n\nTara giggled, \"Skipped out again to take a crap, dear?\"\n\nCarol became indignant, \"Don't act like you don't do it, either, stink weasel.\"\n\nThe ferret laughed before sitting up, \"I'm about to do it. \u0026nbsp;Pass me your paper, dear? I'll be a while.\"\n\nCarol sighed then tossed her paper to Tara.\n\nThe ferret beamed sweetly, \"Thank you.\"\u0026nbsp;Then, she vacated the tent to do her business in private.\n\nCaptain Rosso had woken as well, \"Ha-ha, there are so few things a man fears hearing from his wives.\" He yawned and stretched before shaking the brawny female body laid out on top of him.\n\nRita whimpered cutely like a puppy and licked her master.\n\nRosso laughed before gently pushing her off.\u0026nbsp;\"Alright, everybody!\u0026nbsp; Listen up!\u0026nbsp; Now's a good time, that we should take down this tent, get packed and ready to go!\"\n\nLola sat up, \"Where are we going?\"\n\nRosso explained as he got dressed into his captain's uniform, \"We go wherever my job takes me.\u0026nbsp; I'm a soldier dear.\u0026nbsp; I'd been granted this small leave to see civilization, but now we must meet back with my regimen.\u0026nbsp; We should be going home, but if the higher ups say otherwise, it could take me clear across the country, probably up into some mountains to tame some unruly tribes and their unholy magic.\"\n\nLola nodded, \"That sounds like a lot walking.\u0026nbsp;Do you ever get tired, sir?\"\n\nHe popped a shoulder joint loudly, \"I'm as mortal as you are, Lola.\u0026nbsp; Of course I get tired, but, I'm paid well for the job, which allows me to support my family.\u0026nbsp;Very soon, our 12 will become 15, my first eggs will be layed, my first offspring will hatch, then I hope I get to see home and my brothers again.\"\n\nLola hugged herself as he went on about family, \"You really love your family, don't you?\u0026nbsp; Even all us girls, you...\u0026nbsp; I'd always suspected, whoever would buy me, he would be all over me, raping me, taking my virginity from me.\u0026nbsp; You're nothing like I expected.\"\n\nHe drank leftover soup as his breakfast, \"I'm happy to disappoint you.\u0026nbsp; I would never lay a hand on you, dear.\u0026nbsp; Do I find you attractive?\u0026nbsp; Yes, but I wouldn't do anything about it unless you wanted it.\u0026nbsp; My father had very differing views.\u0026nbsp; I fear if it were he who bought you, your fears would have come true.\u0026nbsp; He's always held some prejudice about all the 'lesser races below us proud dragons'. He's always said we should enslave you all, make you fight our wars for us so we didn't lose dragons.\u0026nbsp; And to be clear, we do have mammals, avians, all sorts in our armies, but I can assure many of them are there of their own free will.\u0026nbsp; They feel it a great honor to have a dragon to command them or to fight alongside our kind against a greater enemy.\"\u0026nbsp; He finished the soup, \"I think it's silly.\u0026nbsp; Dragons live longer, but that doesn't rescind us of our heartaches, our illnesses, our age.\u0026nbsp; We are living creatures just like everyone else.\"\n\nLola sat beside him, \"You're a very passionate speaker, sir.\"\n\nHe petted her, \"Thank you, Lola.\"\n\nThe ferret, Tara, got back just then.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nLater, with the tent down, the caravan was ready to go.\u0026nbsp; Captain Rosso led up the front.\n\nDonna and Katy were the scouts who moved ahead, combining the rabbit's excellent hearing with meerkat's great eyesight and inborn ability to climb trees.\n\nPiccola was Delia's personal nursemaid, aiding the pregnant dragoness, giving her food or drink when she needed it.\u0026nbsp; The dragoness often thanked the opossum in small kisses.\n\nTara and Rusty were personal bodyguards for the dragoness, each armed with throwing knives and cute smiles.\n\nLola and the anole female, Carol were assigned to guard the trunk carrying riches, supplies, everything important.\n\nBringing up the rear were the two big females, Lupe and Rita, sisters in arms for years before they even came into the employ of this dragon.\n\nThe day's walk was fairly boring, the women mostly conversed amongst one another.\u0026nbsp; When Delia needed to rest, they did.\u0026nbsp; Sometimes they would have her on a specialied wagon that Carol had made for her.\u0026nbsp;It was a kind of medieval wheelchair. \u0026nbsp;It fit the dragoness well, even though her tail had to be curled across her lap.\u0026nbsp;Piccola, despite her size, had no problem pushing her mistress.\n\nAt one point, when Delia had to do her womanly business, Tara stood guard with her lover, Rusty when she happened to see some young ferret up in a tree.\u0026nbsp; He looked to be a teenager, and he was collecting robin's eggs.\u0026nbsp; She shrugged it off after he left with some old goat, probably his teacher.\u0026nbsp; Rusty had noticed her friend's distraction.\u0026nbsp; She drew the ferretess in for a small kiss.\n\nTara accepted it right away.\n\nDelia was finished then the trio returned to their group.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe sun shined up on high on the group by midday.\n\nEven Rosso found himself panting like a dog from the growing heat, but they had to make good distance in good time.\u0026nbsp; His ear fans stood out as up ahead, somewhere, he could detect...\u0026nbsp; he hoped they were getting close to where he'd planned on going.\n\nLola walked with Carol, \"Do you know where we're going?\"\n\nCarol hefted her half of the trunk, \"A regimen of soldiers is supposed to be staying at this inn in a village up ahead.\u0026nbsp; We're going with them.\u0026nbsp; The captain's really just looking to go home so he can rest.\u0026nbsp;It'll be good for us, too.\u0026nbsp; We get to stay in one place for more than one day.\"\n\nLola nodded, \"What's home for us?\"\n\nCarol beamed, \"Drakontos, a big dragon city, biggest outside of their kingdom at least.\u0026nbsp; It's very pretty, high up on some cliffs so we deter any invaders.\u0026nbsp; You're a bird, I'm sure you're not afraid of heights, right?\"\n\nThe grackle scoffed, \"I lived in the trees when I was younger.\u0026nbsp; My village, we all lived up in the trees, there we had all our homes, our roads built into the sides.\u0026nbsp; You had to use bridges or ziplines to cross over to your neighbors.\"\n\nCarol giggled, \"That must've been fun.\"\n\nLola smiled, \"It was...\"\n\nCarol heard the change in the bird's tone, \"What happened?\"\n\nLola sighed, \"It's a long story, I could tell it better if we were sitting down.\"\n\nThe anole nodded, \"Right, I'll hold you to that.\u0026nbsp;And whatever it was, I'm sorry in advance.\"\n\nThe bird smiled sadly, \"Thank you.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nBy evening, they had made it to the next village.\n\nCaptain Rosso sniffed the air, already, he caught the scent of other dragons.\u0026nbsp; He smiled, \"Yes!\"\n\nThe dragon and his females entered the small town, which seemed composed of mostly rodents.\u0026nbsp; There were mice selling toys for children, rats selling food.\u0026nbsp; None seemed frightened when they saw a great big dragon with his pregnant wife, nor did they fret upon seeing the wolfess and hyena.\n\nLola saw flags adorned with dragons hanging over the various stands or shops.\n\nCarol explained, \"Dragons are rich, they have a lot of money.\u0026nbsp; There are towns like this one that do nothing but cater to dragons, hoping some will spend their riches on their wares.\"\n\nTara added in, \"And they're awful nice to anyone who just happens to know dragons, too.\"\n\nLola looked around as the girls spoke and indeed, some of the townspeople were looking up at her and the rest of the group.\n\nRosso made a stop at a stand that was selling beautiful necklaces made from precious jewels.\u0026nbsp; He bought exactly eleven for his wife and each of his females.\n\nLola blushed hardest when Carol was putting the necklace on for her.\u0026nbsp; No one, NO ONE had ever bought anything for her before.\u0026nbsp; She felt the blue sapphires that decorated her neck now.\u0026nbsp; Oh, if her feathers still had their shine...\n\nShe bumped into Tara when the group had suddenly stopped.\n\nRosso had come to a stop, his gaze fixed squarely on a swinging tavern door.\n\nA great boisterous dragon of darker red scales had stepped outside with a flagon of ale in one hand, a half-naked male mouse held in his other.\u0026nbsp; He only stopped when he saw Rosso.\u0026nbsp; The great crimson dragon let out a raucous roar of excitement, \"Hey! Little brother!\"\n\nRosso smiled nervously, \"Rubeus... how unexpected.\"\n\nThe drunk dragon carelessly dropped the mouse on the ground before rushing over to embrace his kin.\n\nThe mouse brushed himself off then blew a raspberry at him before walking away.\n\nRosso felt his breath leave him as his big brother lifted him off the ground then crushed him in an overly affectionate hug.\u0026nbsp;The embarrassed captain patted his brother's shoulder, \"Oh, Rubeus!\"\u0026nbsp; He gasped comically, \"Too much loving, brother!\"\n\nRubeus grinned enough to make a crocodile self-conscious, \"Fie, brother!\u0026nbsp; There's no such thing as too much love between blood and scales!\"\n\nHis wife and some of the other females who were all familiar with Rubeus laughed at their leader's misfortune.\n\nWhen Rubeus finally set his sibling down, Rosso looked like he'd been violated.\u0026nbsp; The captain shook his head and smoothed his clothing, \"Rubeus!\u0026nbsp; What are you doing here?\u0026nbsp; I thought Xerxes would be here to see us; this was his post.\"\n\nRubeus nodded drunkenly, \"Ar, that he is, but he had to run a quick errand so he left me here in case you got into town before he returned.\"\u0026nbsp; He slapped himself, \"Oh, but silly me!\u0026nbsp; Where are my manners?\u0026nbsp; Come, brother!\u0026nbsp; Bring your women too!\u0026nbsp; We'll all have ourselves a couple of cold frothy mugs, and...\" He drooled already at the mention of more ale.\u0026nbsp; He slapped sense into himself again, \"Come on!\" and he dragged Captain Rosso inside.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nInside, Lola watched in amazement as both Lupe and Rita chugged large mugs of dragon ale.\u0026nbsp; They finished in minutes then slammed their mugs down, splashing the black bird in their backwash.\n\nCarol happily licked the bewildered grackle clean.\u0026nbsp;She giggled, \"You're not a drinking girl are you, Lola?\"\n\nThe bird blustered, \"I've had beer before.\"\n\nThe anole casually lapped ale from her mug, \"Yeah, but you've never had ale that's been aged in casks lined with dragon smoke.\"\n\nLola shrugged, \"I guess not...\u0026nbsp; what I could get, I normally couldn't afford it.\u0026nbsp; I had to...\"\u0026nbsp; She went quiet.\n\nCarol gripped her shoulder, \"You stole it?\"\u0026nbsp;She silenced the bird before she could make an excuse, \"The Captain told me that's what your master said of you, the guy who sold you.\u0026nbsp; It's okay, we've all been desperate.\u0026nbsp; I robbed a city noble once, took his rings, his money bags, everything!\u0026nbsp; Woulda made a clean getaway, but, dumb ass, I didn't take into account that having extra shit in my pockets makes me heavier.\u0026nbsp;Rosso was that noble; he caught me, made me return everything.\u0026nbsp; I was so pissed at him; then, he offered me a spot in his troupe.\u0026nbsp; I've been running with him ever since.\"\n\nLola smiled, \"Wow...\"\u0026nbsp; She remembered, \"Right, now you'd like to hear what happened to me.\"\n\nThe anole shook her head, \"That's not important, and it can wait until we're somewhere quiet.\u0026nbsp; Until then,\" she gave her mug of ale to the bird, \"live a little.\"\n\nLola shrugged and put the beverage to her beak and let the ale with its very unique smoky flavor slide down her throat.\u0026nbsp; She wondered if kissing Rosso would taste like this, he was a very attractive dragon the more she looked upon him.\u0026nbsp; Or was that the alcohol hitting her poor, simple, bird brain?\n\nAt other tables, the other females in their group enjoyed the drink themselves and chatted.\n\nTara and Rusty gave quite a show for any male patrons as they began to make out.\u0026nbsp; Of course, if any male approached, one or both would stare daggers at the invader until he pissed himself.\n\nPiccola drank non-alcoholic cordial with Delia as the dragoness couldn't have ale due to her condition.\u0026nbsp; The opossum wished she could have ale, but she had to stay sober.\n\nDonna and Katy had ale too.\n\nRosso and Rubeus sat together with the older brother becoming even more drunk while Rosso was slowly getting there.\u0026nbsp; Rubeus guffawed, \"Ar, Elliot!\u0026nbsp; You don't knock 'em back like you should, brother!\"\n\nRosso nearly sputtered from hearing his first name spoken.\n\nLola hiccupped, \"Who's Elliot?\"\n\nCarol giggled at what a lightweight the bird was, \"That's our Captain's name, apparently, he's embarrassed by it.\u0026nbsp; I think it's cute.\"\n\nRosso grew indignant, \"A dragon is not supposed to be cute!\u0026nbsp; He should be feared; all powerful!\"\n\nRubeus chuckled, \"Careful, you almost sound like Xerxes.\"\n\nRosso looked to his brother, \"You think so?\"\n\nAnd speak of the devil, the tavern doors swung open and another great red dragon stomped inside.\u0026nbsp; He was tall like Rubeus, well-built like Rosso, the middle brood of both brothers.\u0026nbsp; However, he had a fine set of black horns to separate him from them.\u0026nbsp; After him, his own harem walked in.\n\nRosso's females got up and greeted their sisters in arms.\n\nXerxes' harem all curtsied their comrades.\n\nRubeus stood, \"Xerxes!\u0026nbsp; Elliot is here!\"\n\nThe dragon scratched his chin, \"I can see that, Ruby.\"\u0026nbsp; He chuckled smugly as he quickly counted his brother's females.\u0026nbsp; \"A perfect 10, plus a wife... you were always the casanova of this family, little brother.\"\u0026nbsp; He looked to his own harem which only numbered eight.\u0026nbsp; He himself had never settled down with a bride.\n\nXerxes' harem joined the others.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA chestnut mare and lioness sat opposite from Lupe and Rita.\n\nLupe growled, \"Hello, Chelsea.\"\n\nThe mare snorted, \"Doggie...\"\n\nRita did the same, \"And you, Leona.\"\n\nThe lioness gave a fangy smile, \"And you too, Spotty.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nTwo otteresses, identical twins, sat with Tara and Rusty.\n\nOne of twin sniffed Tara, \"I smell pussy on ya, but no dragon dick.\u0026nbsp; You still haven't let your master have his way?\"\n\nTara kissed her lover, \"Captain Rosso likes us the way we are.\"\n\nRusty giggled, \"He's jerked himself when we've made love, and that's the most we've let him have.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA chubby raccoon female sat with Delia and Piccola.\u0026nbsp; She saw the dragoness' gravid belly, \"Oh, Delia, may I feel your brood?\"\n\nDelia nodded kindly, \"You may.\"\n\nThe raccoon petted the dragoness' developing eggs, \"You're so lucky.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA svelte cobra female sat herself between Lola and Carol.\u0026nbsp; The snake flickered her tongue with interest at the pretty black bird.\u0026nbsp; \"Where did your master find this one, Carol?\"\n\nThe anole answered, \"He bought her at a slave auction, and her name is Lola.\"\n\nThe cobra smiled, \"I see, I thought she looked skinny, even for a bird.\"\n\nLola blushed, \"It's nice meeting you-\"\n\n\"Veronica...\" The cobra answered before suddenly hugging the grackle.\u0026nbsp; \"Oh, your feathers are so soft.\"\n\nLola nearly sobered up from the surprise hug.\u0026nbsp;She looked at Carol and the lizard only shrugged then laughed.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nA pair of males, a mongoose and a chinchilla, sat with Katy and Donna.\n\nThe mongoose wore feminine clothing that made him somehow prettier than the female in front of him.\u0026nbsp; The meerkat, Katy, touched one paw to his before the two leaned forward and swapped kisses.\n\nThe chinchilla was better dressed, more male in appearance than his friend, but with about the same look of affection for the rabbit he soon had pressed against him.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nRosso had to stare when he saw the last group, \"It's sad we keep them separate for so long sometimes.\u0026nbsp; You see how much they love one another.\"\n\nXerxes smiled, \"Someday they can retire and have families of their own.\"\u0026nbsp; He looked to Rubeus, \"And you, Ruby, why do I find you with no harem?\"\n\nThe big dragon groaned, \"I'm just not the ladykiller like you two.\"\u0026nbsp; He leaned in, \"Besides, I fancy males more.\"\n\nRosso scoffed, \"Then find a male to make your husband, Rubeus.\"\n\nThe big dragon sighed, \"I would, but you remember the other times I brought home a man to meet Dad.\"\n\nBoth brothers nodded in unison, \"Oh, right...\"\n\nXerxes patted his big brother's shoulder, \"Dad doesn't have to know a fucking thing if he can't be proud of you, Ruby.\"\u0026nbsp; He openly kissed his brother on the cheek, \"We're proud of you, and you should be proud too.\"\n\nRubeus was already blushing from the alcohol; the kiss from his brother made him shiver and he had to hide the tent in his loincloth.\u0026nbsp; He hiccupped, \"Thank you.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;Rosso put his right arm around Xerxes, asked him,\"So then, Xerxes, what news have you from the outside?\"\n\nThe horned dragon answered, \"Had a little trouble in a neighboring town, some highwaymen taxing them their money and women for their lives.\"\n\nRosso nodded, \"Ah, and?\"\n\nXerxes chuckled, \"And those highwaymen went down easy.\"\u0026nbsp; His eyes shifted to Lola, the pretty black bird that sat at the one table.\u0026nbsp; \"And you, brother... where did you find your lucky number 10?\u0026nbsp; And where do I find one so precious as her?\"\n\nRosso drank his ale, \"I bought her at an auction.\"\n\nOne could hear the gears grinding to a screeching halt in Xerxes' brain as he looked to his brother, \"You, Elliot?!\u0026nbsp; The big advocate against slavery, you bought a...\"\n\nRosso nodded as he calmed his big brother, \"I am still against it; I did discover a major slave trade going through the previous town we'd gone to, a dusty, shitty old city, appropriately named Dust.\"\n\nXerxes tapped his forehead, \"I know that place.\u0026nbsp;It's governed by those corrupt lions, the Leonidas clan.\u0026nbsp; They keep everyone there oppressed, and they encourage slave trade as their main source of income.\"\n\nRosso nodded, \"There was a lion at the auction, he called himself Gregor.\"\n\nXerxes leaned in, \"One of their nephews,\u0026nbsp; he is.\u0026nbsp; He runs the auction in that city, though I understand their spoiled rotten sons have disputed their claim.\"\n\nRosso grinned, \"You're already formulating some plan, brother?\"\n\nThe horned dragon growled quietly, \"I'm starting to... if we choose to make that our problem, we're in for the long haul, those Leonidas lions have hard connections.\"\n\nRosso straightened up, \"I'm in this for as long as it's going to take.\"\n\nXerxes shook hands with his brother, \"Then get ready for many long sleepless nights, brother.\"\n\nRosso laughed, \"I get enough of those already from my wives.\"\n\nBoth brothers laughed as Rubeus suddenly embraced them both, shouting, \"Ar, brothers joining arms against an impenetrable cause.\u0026nbsp;Ar, it's just like the old days!\"\u0026nbsp;He shed tears of joy.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nLola sat off to the side, \"What are they shaking hands for?\"\n\nVeronica caressed the pretty bird, \"It sounds like we're going back to your town.\"\n\nCarol grinned, \"I knew we'd be going back there!\"\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Lives for Sale","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/879164-lives-for-sale-high-risk.json"}}
