A beautiful, young woman named Taylor is sitting on a wooden chair at a tavern called 'The Brief Pigeon.' Having brought a drink to her mouth and took a small sip. She was letting out a huff of frustration, as the man of her dreams has ditched her. Never showing up to meet her here, like he was supposed to. She furrowed her brow in anger, just thinking about the man. She wanted to punch him so hard in the mouth, he wouldn't be able to give her that smile of his. That she won't fall for his charms ever again. She's done with him, what happened to her tonight was the final straw.

She couldn't believe it. She thought she'd knew him, but it turns out she was wrong. Pretty wrong, indeed. She downed a few swigs of alcohol down her mouth. Taylor really wanted to drink all her problems away, she wanted to so bad. She feels like she's such a fool. She knows it's not the first time this kind of thing happened to her, but she has thought that a man named Darrell, would be the one for her. The man of her dreams. He was a knight in shining armor after all. But it turned out, he's just another asshole who'd just ditch her for another maiden. At least, that's what she believe is what that slimy bastard's doing right now. Having his way with her in his disgusting bed. She was shuddering at the thought of that and shut her eyes tight. She hated herself for being the fool again. She hated herself.

Taylor was having another swig from her drink, when one man she never met before came up and sat down beside her. After a moment, she ignored the man, but she felt like she was being watched. So the time came to turn her head to look at the man. He was older than her, maybe in his forties. He was overweight and he appeared to be drunk, by the look on his eyes. His brown hair looked messy and he had a big brown beard covering his chin.

Taylor was glaring at him and asked in annoyance, "What?"

The man was giving her a tooth filled grin. His teeth looked totally rotten, they looked like they were gonna fall off, "Nothing. I was just...Checking out the sights."

She was having a feeling what 'sight' he was talking about. Taylor really was in no mood for this. So she tried to remain calm about it and politely asked, "Look, can you stop staring and leave me alone? I'm not in the mood for company."

But the man didn't budge when he leaned his head towards her, that grin still plastered on his face, "So, what's a pretty lady like you doing sitting all alone?"

That comment struck a cord in her and anger washed up on her like she was taking a bath back at home. Not to mention, she didn't like the smell of his breath when he was this close to her. She wanted to push him away with all her might. Taylor decided to answer his question, hoping he'll somehow go away, "Just drinking my problems away."

The bearded man hiccupped and let out a loud laugh that rang across the big room in the building, "Drinking, eh? That sounds a lot like me. Always travelling at long distances and having myself a good drink afterwards. And I think, I could smell that drink of yours." He eyed at her hand that held her drink and brought his head closer to it, his head almost close to one of her breasts and with his eyes concentrated on her drink, "Hmm, judging by the color, it looks like the one I was using! Ha! Girl, you certainly have balls!"

The young woman was just letting out a hiss and narrowed her eyes at him, pulling her glass away from his face, "Can you please not get too close?"

But he didn't move at all, as his eyes were now drawn fully on her chest. Looking at those beautiful breasts of hers, "Woah! Nice weapons you got there." Then he reached up with one hand and grabbed one of them. Taylor let out a gasp in shock at what he was doing to her. He was pressing the palm of his hand on it too, "Gee, I'm surprised no man is with your sweet ass. They look amazing!"

Taylor put on her narrowed face again. Getting furious when he touched her there of all places, and she used her other hand to roughly push his head away by the forehead, "Will you just go away?!" The fat bearded fellow fell down off the chair in a heap, laying down on his side, and he was laughing hard at her push and outburst. His drunken mind thinking this was funny to him. She was glaring down at him and let out a huff. Glad that his stinky alcohol breath was out of her face.

She felt that all eyes were being watched on her and turned her head, seeing that her suspicions were actually true. All the other patrons heard her scream and looked at the scene. Her eyes went wide and she was blushing in embarrassment. Blushing at all the attention she was getting. The drunk man on the floor held up his hand, beckoning her to help him off the floor, "Hey, can you give me a hand? I've fallen and I can't get up!" He was laughing hard at his own words. And some other fools were laughing too.

One man sitting at a nearby table, who looked like a knight without a beard and he was younger, was bellowing out to that man, "Yikes, mister. And you just got your ass kicked by a maiden? She's one tough broad!" The guys sitting with him were all laughing together with him.

Taylor was glaring at them and mostly internally at herself. Feeling like a total fool right now. She let out a huff and pulled out some coin and slammed it hard on the wooden bar, to pay for the drinks she had, and shot up off her chair. Scrapping it across the floor. Taylor was having fast strides across the floor of the building, until she bursted out through the entrance door made of wood, out into the cool starry night. She was walking fast outside in the middle of the village, her fury at what happened earlier tonight and just now was getting to her. She was clenching her fists real tight, until her knuckles turned white. There weren't a lot of villagers out and about tonight, which it was good enough for her, since she didn't want to talk to anyone right now. She was in NO mood whatsoever. She can't believe what happened now. That one man was drunk enough to annoy her and touch the one place no man should ever touch, unless she wanted him to. And she didn't want that man to touch her, ever. How could he be such a scoundrel? She was gritting her teeth, trying to get herself under control, before she sees someone and punches any person that comes near her.

She didn't want to go back home yet. She just wanted to walk it off. She thought about taking a bath, but she thinks it won't help her out tonight. And as fast as her legs were carrying her, she walked out of the village, on the dirt trail that horses and carriages use for travel. Taylor was breathing heavily, swinging her arms back and forth with each angry step. She didn't know how long she was walking away from the village, but she didn't care right now. She felt like she wanted to get away for a bit. She walked fast, finally slowed herself down and just took slow strides now. Unclenching her hands as she was starting to calm down only a little bit.

Taylor started softening her face, her angered face to be replaced by a depressed one. Her throat was beginning to tighten, as her sobs were threatening to come out of her. She wanted to break down in the middle of the road and cry. More than once in her life, she sometimes kept asking herself, asking herself the same questions she never knew the answers to. Why? Why can't she find the right handsome fellow to love and marry, just like everyone else? What makes her so different? Does she really look like some poor peasant girl, who can't have REAL love for once in her life? Is she really one of those whores that men find in the streets? To have sex with any man just for coin? She's not even that kind of girl. She never was. She's just a girl who works in a bakery, under the company of a nice old man named Bernard. He knew her mother, before she passed away years ago. Taylor was only ten when she was gone from her life forever. She let out a sigh, wondering how her mother would help her out in this problem she has. That she cannot find the one guy in her life, who loves her, for who she is.

She has had a few flings before she met Darrell, but like him, they were just the same. They were all like him. They were all a bunch of disgusting, cheating, lying assholes, that never loved her at all. She hates meeting someone like that. More than once, she keeps thinking that she has found that man of her dreams, but this certain guy she meets always ended up being a bad experience for her. She cannot understand why she can't find that man. She can't understand why it's hard for her to find this certain man. The one who doesn't leave her, after he has took her to bed and slept with her, treating her like a whore. The one who doesn't ditch her after agreeing to meet her some place and never talks to her again. The one who doesn't sleep with other women behind her back and humiliates her for it. The one who....Doesn't see her as beauty, but who she is.

But that's the problem with Taylor. She looks rather beautiful. Pretty beautiful, actually. For what she looks like in someone else's point of view, she's about 5'7, has long brown hair that goes down to her shoulders, her body's slim, not overweight at all, piercing blue eyes, and even has the good curves that'll have any man who'd want to have his way with her. And that's the problem with her. She attracts trouble.

Taylor was shutting her eyes and let out a small sob through her quivering mouth. She can't take it anymore. She's done looking for the love of her life. She can't do this anymore! She's done! She's done being treated this way! She's done being ditched! She's done being treated like a whore! SHE'S DONE WITH EVERYTHING!!!

She dropped to her knees out in the middle of the road and finally broke down in tears. She pressed her hands to her face and wailed in them. Her body and long hair shaking with each sob she let out.

Taylor finally stopped about god knows how long, but she believes it was about a few minutes that have passed. She wiped her face with her arm and sniffed her nose. She thinks now....She just has to accept it. Accept her fate to living the life of a lonely woman and forget about finding the man for her. Her thoughts were right when they came. She was done with everything. She's just going to have to accept it.

She looked down at the ground, sniffing her nose again and blinked her eyes. The moon was shining over the lands and she could see her own shadow on the dirt road. The distraught woman let out a sigh as she stared at it. But a moment later, before she could get up and walk back home, another shadow that was really different flew over her. Her eyes went wide in shock and she shot her gaze up at the night sky. Seeing nothing, but the moon and the stars. She made a curious frown on her face. Wondering now what made that shadow. It looked a little too big to be a bird. She started to slowly get up off the ground and on her feet. She suddenly felt a chill running through her bones, that something doesn't seem right. She's thinking, she better get out of here.

Before Taylor could turn around and walk home though, something big landed behind her and she yelped in surprise. She whirled immediately around and gasped loudly at what she saw behind her. At the source of that shadow behind her. A big, tall figure towering over her little form. She backed away a few steps, as fear was clawing at her veins.

She was staring at a dragon! A big, dragon with black scales all around it's body and underbelly. A few frills on its head and also has ears. Two silver horns were sticking straight out of it's skull.

And it was hissing down at the frightened girl, it's yellow eyes locking onto hers.

Taylor's heart was pounding away, and she continued to back away from the monster before her. It's black scales were being shined by the moonlight above them. Despite her fear, she was trying to think of a way to escape it. She couldn't run back to the village with that thing in front of her. She didn't want to take the chance of running past it without getting killed. And there were no knights, or dragon slayers out here to help her. She was alone with the creature. The idea right now, is to turn around and run away. To try to outrun it in the woods nearby and hopefully, she can lose it. Or else, she's dead.

She tried to move her legs, but they wouldn't move. She felt frozen in fear, despite the idea she came up with. She was terrified, and her whole body's shaking like she's cold. The dragon lowered it's head to her level, by the look on it's expression, it appeared to be curious about her. With the thing's face right in front of her, Taylor squeaked in fright. Also curious as to what the thing's doing. And why it's not attacking her as well. It should've done so by now.

The black dragon brought it's gaze closer to her and with a quick reflux, Taylor raised a hand, cried out and smacked the thing's nose real hard. It let out an animalistic cry and jerked it's head high above her. Scrunching it's nose in pain. Then it began to growl at her and narrowed it's eyes. Taylor's face went more wider than before. Wishing she hadn't done that. She made it more angry.

Then it let out an earth, shaking roar down at her and flared it's wings, showing her its threatening display. Taylor shrieked in terror, and finally got her legs to move and turned around. Running to the woods as fast as she can. She didn't look back, not wanting to until she's sure she'd escaped. She was further away from the trees, since it was a bit far from where the dirt road was at, but she had to try. She can't just let the thing kill her. She doesn't want to die. Taylor's face widened in horror when she heard the scaly creature roaring at her. She knows the thing's giving chase and she screamed for help, "Help!!!" And she screamed again after that.

Taylor was only about ten feet from the woods now, knowing she's not far now. She thought she heard wings flapping behind her, but she didn't dare to look back. She kept running. There was hope in her heart now, realizing she's going to make it. She's going to make it!

But before she was about four feet away from the wooded area, she felt claws gripping her body and she felt like she was being lifted off the ground. She realized why she was hearing wings flapping. The dragon must've took flight off the ground and just snatched her off the ground, before she escaped. Taylor screamed loudly and tried to pry those claws off her body, but they wouldn't budge. The dragon was tightening it's grip on her. Not letting her escape, as the dragon was beating it's wings against the wind. They were getting higher and higher above the ground, above the woods that she was about to escape to. The girl's hair was blowing by the rushing wind from the flight. Taylor heard the wings beating over and over again, until she finally looked up at the dragon's head, it was concentrating it's eyes on the route it's going to. She's realizing that the thing's just kidnapping her, not killing her. That's why it didn't kill her a minute ago and didn't kill her right now.

But then a thought crossed her mind. Thinking the reason why it's not killing her now, is because it's saving her as food for later! Then another one crossed her mind. It's worse than the other thought. Thinking that maybe the thing's male and it....Oh god, she heard those stories. That this dragon is the kind of dragon that kidnaps maidens and forces them to become slaves and....Has their way with them.

With those scary thoughts, Taylor was screaming really loud. But she knows that screaming won't help her now. No one doesn't know that she was out of the village and got kidnapped. She's within the mighty beast's grasp. She was trying to get free of the monster, trying to pry those claws off again. Not going to just accept and let this kind of fate come to her. She won't be dinner later, or be forced to become the dragon's whore! She tried one last time, but she couldn't get free. And with one last defeated breath, she just gave up and laid her hands over the paw. She felt a tremble of fear going through her body, as she knows she can't escape.

And one thought was going through her head, as they were getting higher above the woods than before. Where are they going? But then she started to feel dizzy from all this and she passed out in the dragon's paw.

*****

Taylor was lying on her back on the ground and she was murmuring herself awake, when she opened her eyes. She felt like she was laying something soft and it felt good to her. She groaned a bit, as her body, including her back, felt sore and tight. She sat up on the ground slowly and looked around with her eyes trailing around the area. She realizes that she had woke up in a cave. It was wide and big, even the ceiling of the cave was high above her. There were a few stalagmites that have formed on the ground around the cave near the walls. She looked down at what she was sitting on. She was sitting on a pile of furs, that's why she didn't feel like she was laying on the hard cave ground. She pressed the palm of her hand to her forehead, trying to put her thoughts together. Trying to remember what happened.

A moment later, it all came back to her. She most of all, thought she was dreaming now and she'll wake up in her bed at home. But it's not. She literally got kidnapped by a dragon. And is now scared for her life. She had a frightened look as she gazed around her again. She realized to her surprise that the dragon who just snatched her off the ground, is not here with her. Her eyes were filled with curiosity. Where did it go? Did it just leave her there all alone? What's it doing?

She shook her head from those stupid questions. She's not going to sit around and wait for that thing to come back and do...Only god only knows what it's planning to do with her. She shot up off the ground and saw the entrance of the cave, not far from her. The moonlight shining through it. She's getting the hell out of there.

And with that thought, she started to run to the entrance, not having a second thought of escaping that horrible monster. Before she could emerge outside, the dragon appeared from around the corner outside and it was glaring down at her, when it saw her trying to escape. She stumbled back and fell on her rump, letting out a sharp gasp as she laid her eyes upon the dragon. It's yellow eyes were narrowed as it took a few paces toward her. Taylor was shaking her head and screaming, "Noooo!!!" Her scream echoed from the cave to the outside. The dragon didn't stop where it was at and kept advancing to her in a threatening way.

Taylor shifted around, until she was on her hands and knees, crawling fast away from it. Just buying herself some time to live, partly hoping that someone heard her scream and someone who's nearby would save her life from the vile beast. She looked over her shoulder and saw the dragon kept at her, not taking it's eyes off her one bit. She shook her head and was crying softly now. Tears falling down her face and hitting the hard stone floor. She crawled, until she got herself cornered at a wall. There was no where else to crawl to. She whipped around on the ground and pressed her back against the wall, holding up her knees to her chest. Shaking and trembling in fear. She was begging the thing to not kill her, tears still falling down from her eyes, "No...Please no....Don't kill me. Please, don't kill me."

It was lowering his head to where she was at, and she hugged her face into the wall behind her, not daring to look at it. She could feel it's breathing its air through it's nose and it struck her. It felt warm when the air hit the back of her neck. It brought it's nose closer to her, giving her a sniff. Taylor's eyes were wide and petrified. What was it doing? Thoughts were coming to her, fearing that one of her fears were coming true. She was going to be a slave to this monster. She slowly turned her eyes to the beast before her, it was close to her own face, that narrowed look still there. She was wondering if that thing can understand her. She sorta has heard that dragons are rather intelligent creatures, but she has gone by on what she'd heard. She was thinking that talking to it won't do her any good, but she had to try. Taylor was speaking to it in a low, pleading voice, "Look....You don't need to do this."

The dragon snorted and raised it's head above her, looking down at the terrified, pleading woman. She begged, "Look, please....Just let me go. If you do, I promise, I won't bring any dragon slayers to you. I swear. Please...Dragon. Let me go. I don't know what you'll gain in keeping me here, but-"

"Be quiet!"

She let out a gasp, as the voice came from the black scaled dragon. It can talk! The dragon in front of her, can actually talk. And it growled down at her. Taylor asked in a bit of surprise, "You...Can talk?" Judging by the sound of the voice she heard, she can figure it's a male dragon.

The black dragon scrunched up his snout and nose, "Hmpf! And you think that us dragons are just lizards that can't speak? Why am I not surprised? All you humans are exactly alike."

Taylor was speechless at this. She never met a dragon before, let alone a talking one. It's speaking to her like a human. The drake snorted in irritancy, "What? Now YOU can't speak now? Have you lost your voice in fright? Can you not see that I'm not hurting you?" He lowered his muzzle to her again and she gasped in fright. Then he gave her another sniff and hummed, "Hmm, you smell like flowers. I don't like the smell of them. They really irritate my nose."

She was looking at him, rather puzzled, she'd found her voice, "That's because I took a bath, before I left my house."

He hissed and she gasped again by that, "I don't give a damn about your baths." He brought his nose closer to her body, "I brought you here, because-" Then she shrieked and slapped his nose real hard like she did already. He jerked his head away from her and groaned, and his eyes were wet by the stinging pain, "Ow! You bitch! You hit my nose again!"

Taylor was shrieking at him real loudly and he shut his eyes at this, "Ahh! Get away from me!" He was growling at her, with his wings flared. She screamed at him, "I know why you brought me here! You want to eat me!" Then she was shaking her head, "No, scratch that! You want to...Have your way with me! You sick beast!" She was shaking her head furiously, "I won't be your slave! I won't be your whore! You monster!"

The dragon was softening his gaze and he cocked his head, "Huh? Have my way with you? You mean-" His face and frills went wide at the thought and to her surprise, he shot up his head and laughed really hard at this. His laughter echoing off the walls of the cave. She was confused at this. What was it that he find so funny? She knows it's not a laughing matter.

Taylor was asking with fear in her voice, "What's so funny? This isn't funny! It's scary!"

He managed to stop chuckling and he was giggling a little bit, "I was laughing at your claim that I'm going to 'mate you.'" He let out another snort, "Are you kidding me? Where did you get that idea?"

She explained, "I've heard stories that...Dragons kidnap maidens and they use them as slaves and for...Pleasure."

He rolled his eyes and waved a dismissive paw, "Bah! That sounds ridiculous! Dragons don't do that!"

Honestly, she didn't believe a single word he said and she snarled with a bit of courage coming out of her, "You're lying! I'm just a maiden that you've kidnapped, so that I'll just give in to your sick, perverted desires! I won't do it! I won't!"

He muttered and thumped his big long tail behind him on the ground softly, "You're not really my type anyways. So whether you'd believe it or not, I don't care."

She took a deep breath, calming her nerves. She wiped her tears off her face and asked, "Well, if you're telling me the truth, which I doubt, then what do you want? You're going to eat me?"

He was rolling his eyes in annoyance at her questioning, "Please, if I wanted to eat you, I would've done it by now. Are you really a village idiot? What kind of a human female are you?"

She shot a glare at him, "I'm not a village idiot!"

He stomped the ground and she screamed at that, "I don't care what you are! You're mine now!" He regained his composure and resettled his wings on his back, "So...Welcome to my cave."

Taylor already knew for a fact, that he was keeping her. And she can also figure that his plans for not using her for pleasure, was just a lie coming out of his muzzle. That's why he was keeping her to begin with. That monster's sick. And she can feel it in her bones. Taylor had to try to beg for mercy, beg him to let her go back home, "Please...Don't do this. Let me go. I won't get any dragon slayers, I swear on my mother's grave!"

His form stood over her with his tail thumping to the ground, "You're not gong anywhere!"

Taylor shook her head, "You can't keep me here! I don't belong here! I'll leave if I have to! And if you don't let me go, my people will come looking for me!" She sorta doubts it, since no one never knew what happened to her, but she can at least hope.

He was sharing her his smuggish grin, swishing his tail back and forth across the cave floor, "Ha! You think they can find you? Forget it! No one can never find this place! And no one can never reach it!" He shook his head, "I'm king in this cave, you bitch. So you better just behave. Because your new home, is here now. So you better get used to it."

Taylor bellowed with all her might, "Noooo!!!!"

The black scaled drake shut his eyes at her scream, hissing through his teeth, "Nrrrggg! Stop screaming!" Then he let out a very loud roar and she shut her eyes and covered her ears, that roar was hurting her ears, they started to ring. It echoed loudly off the cave walls and ceiling. The roar finally ended and she opened her eyes and uncovered her ears. Petrified at his terrifying roar. He glared down at her and remarked, "Might as well live with it. You're mine and you won't escape. Not even escape the clutches of a dragon."

Taylor asked with all the words sinking in, "What...Are you going to do now?"

The dragon replied, "Well for starters, I think you're tired, right? So might as well find a comfortable place to sleep in." He gestured his paw to the pile of furs on the floor, "I did drop you off to that spot over there. So better get on them. Unless, you like to sleep on the cold hard floor. I don't care which you want. That's why I've brought them all here from my travels. So I could lay on something soft."

She gazed at them and responded with a shocked look, "You really seemed to be collecting a lot of furs." She turned his eyes to the black drake, "So where did you get them? Did you steal them? I can imagine that you did."

He glared, "Ah, calling me a thief now? And how would you know? You a thief back at where you're from?"

Taylor was irritated by his answer, but she just rolled with it, "No."

He waved her a dismissive paw, "Well, I don't care if you are or not. There's nothing for you to steal here anyways. Now get on the furs."

She really didn't like to be ordered around like a slave, but she didn't have much of a choice. Taylor slowly got up off the floor, her back rubbing against the wall when she did that. She strode to the furs, until she was walking on them, the dragon followed close behind her and he laid down on his stomach near them. Taylor lowered herself on them and asked with a wide face, "Hey, you're not on them. Don't you want to sleep on them? They are yours after all."

He was shaking his head at her, "Since I don't trust you now, no. When I'm THAT close to you, you might attack me in my sleep. So I'm going to get some distance from the likes of a girl like you."

Somehow despite herself, she was making a joke about it, "What, you're afraid I might slap your nose again?" She was chuckling weakly at her own joke.

He narrowed his eyes at her with fury, "Oh yeah, one last thing. If you ever do that again, I'll rip your arm off. Got it?"

Her chuckling went away and she nodded twice at the threat. The dragon yawned, his tongue curling, "Alright, now get some sleep. I'm sure you're worn out and quite frankly, so am I. Don't try to escape me, even when I'm asleep, I have good hearing. I'll catch you, if you try. You can count on that." He lowered his head onto his front paws and rested it on them, and ordered, "Now sleep."

Taylor was glaring at him, can't believe she's being ordered around by him. But to her relief, at least she wasn't being used into doing something uncomfortable with him. Something disgusting with a dragon. That would be the most humiliating thing she could ever go through. A lot more humiliating, since all the guys that took advantage of her feelings. Taylor began to lay down on her side, rolling around, so she wouldn't have to look at the smug scaly bastard. He chuckled when she did that, "Goodnight, human."

Taylor shot those words back like venom, "Goodnight." And with that, she shut her eyes, trying to let her mind be at ease so she'll go to sleep. She feels like she can't sleep now, but she needs to try. Her thoughts were on what she needs to do now.

She has to find a way to escape from him. If no one's going to look for her, then she needs to escape him on her own.

Not long after those thoughts ran through her mind, her mind and body drifted to sleep.

*****

Taylor had woken up with a yawn while laying on her side. She mumbled to herself and slowly got up from...The furs. Her eyes went wide as she looked around the cave she was in, and came to the realization that what happened to her wasn't a dream. She was kidnapped by a dragon and brought here. She moved her head to look around some more and saw that the dragon's not in there with her. He was gone.

Taylor rose an eyebrow. She's thinking that she has a chance at escaping now. The woman shot up from the furs and saw the exit. The morning sun shining through the entrance. Now the moment came to her and she was about to take advantage of it. She ran off the furs, and made a run for it.

But before Taylor could race out of there, she saw that the dragon was sitting outside on his haunches in front of the cave. Sun's rays shining on his scales. She stopped in her tracks, mentally saying to herself 'shit.' She should've known it was too good to be true. The drake had his back turned to her, probably didn't notice that she was awake. From what else she saw outside, they appeared to have stand on top of a rocky cliff, and she can also see a forest that's around the corner near the cave away from the cliff. Another idea came to Taylor, when she thought about sneaking away without him noticing. But before she could move, she thought she heard a noise coming from the dragon. Something she didn't expect.

It sounded like he was...Crying.

Her face was filled with confusion. She didn't understand it. She never knew that dragons can cry. She thought they never had a heart. But...Is she really hearing him crying? Or was she just imagining it?

Then her stomach began to growl and realized she was hungry. Taylor let out air through her nose. The girl knew that she needs the dragon to feed her, since she can't escape from him right now. She still needs to figure out a plan to get away from him. So she went along with his rules. Hopefully, she can come up with an idea soon. She started to walk up behind him and muttered one word, "Hey."

The dragon perked up his head and ears, both his wings twitched at her voice. He cleared his throat and twisted his neck to look behind her, he didn't appear to have tears in his eyes at all, "I see you're awake." He was turning his whole body around and faced his gaze down at her, "How long have you been up?" He growled a bit in his throat when he narrowed his eyes now, "Were you trying to escape me behind my back? You know I'll catch you."

Taylor narrowed her eyes back at him. Seeing that she was wrong that she heard him was crying. She figured she was wrong about that. Although, she could've sworn she saw some pain in his eyes, other than hate, but she's thinking that's her imagination too. So she didn't bring up anything, and she replied, "Seriously? You think I'm going to escape you right now? You really are paranoid."

The black dragon thumped his tail behind him and curled it around his body, "I don't trust you. Why do you think I'm a bit paranoid?"

Taylor stated, "Not a BIT paranoid, TOO paranoid."

He let out a snort, "Don't care how you call it. I don't trust you."

She threw her hands in the air, "Tell me something I don't know, dragon."

He just glared at her, "I don't like your tone. You better behave around me, or I'll make sure you have the greatest punishment of all time. Understand?"

Taylor scrunched up her nose and furrowed her brow, "Why don't you just kill me? Instead of just bossing me around? You don't like me anyways, so what's the point?"

He curled his neck into a shape of an s, "You actually want to die? Hmm, thought you'd be begging for your life, not begging for death."

She said with her arms crossed across her breasts, "I'd rather die than be your slave."

He rolled his eyes, "Still thinking that I kidnapped you for pleasure? You really are not good at listening, are you? I didn't kidnap you for that. Your stories that humans make, are ridiculous."

Taylor shrugged her shoulders, "So why am I here? What do you want from me anyways?"

He turned his head away from her, still with that glare on his face. She was having a curious look on her face. She knows he's not telling her everything and doesn't want to. He was obviously being a jerk to her, and she didn't like that about him at all. While his eyes were away from her, she took notice his parts between his legs and her face went wide at what she saw.

She saw balls. Dragon ones. She sorta heard that lizards have balls that are in their bodies. Not outside. That was new to her. And she was shocked to see them stand out in plain view in front of her.

The black drake turned back and saw that she was staring at his parts. He glared at her again, "Stop looking at my balls."

Taylor shook her head from her trance and looked up at him, "Sorry, I thought that kind of thing was supposed to be within your body, not outside your body. I thought only dragons would have...Slits."

That's when the drake actually grinned for the first time since they've met, "Well glad you've learned something. Cause us dragons like to show off our balls."

She blushed a bit at that, "Judging by your ego, I can see why." Then she was waving her hand at his hind legs, "Can you close your legs? I don't even want to look at them."

He shot up his head, "Why? Don't like what you see? You don't tell me what to do anyways. I'm the one who gives the orders."

She let out an irritated sigh and uncrossed her arms, "You really are selfish."

The mighty creature lowered his head to her, "Look who's talking. Your kind are the selfish ones." He rose it above her and said, "So, are you going to gawk at my eggs some more, or are you going back into my cave and stay in there?"

Her stomach growled again and she asked in a pleading tone. Which she hated herself for sounding desperate, "Actually...I'm pretty hungry, can you bring me...Something to eat?"

He stared down at her and smirked again, "I'm actually glad you've asked. Because I was already done hunting." He got on all fours and started to walk to a spot behind a rock near the cave. He started to drag something out of there, which revealed to be a deer. A dead deer, at that.

Taylor's face widened and she covered her mouth. Seeing how disgusting it looked. The dragon stopped dragging it and pointed down with a bloody claw, "There's your lunch."

She put on a disgusted face, "Gods, you want me to eat it raw?" He nodded and she screamed angrily at him, "Screw you, lizard! I'm not eating it!"

He let out a hiss, "Are you kidding me? You want to go ahead and starve?"

She pointed her finger at the dead animal, "I'm not eating anything, until it's cooked."

The dragon tossed his head and groaned, "What am I to you? A dog you can bark your orders at? I'm a proud dragon, not a dog."

She glared in annoyance, "More like a lizard."

He flared his wings and thrashed his tail, hitting it hard on the dirt, "I AM A DRAGON!"

She backed away from him in fright and he advanced towards her, in a threatening way. Taylor's face was filled with fear and she tripped on a rock and fell to her back. Screaming a bit at him. He stood over her and she covered her head and hid her face, trembling in petrified fear.

The dragon stared down at her shaking form on the ground and he softened his look a bit. He seemed to have a haunting look on his face and Taylor never noticed it. He can hear her sobbing a bit below him. The black dragon took a deep breath and sighed, "Fine...I'll fucking cook it." Then he remarked with a narrowed look, "You can stop trembling now."

Taylor slowly uncovered herself and looked up at him, relief shone in her eyes, that are also wet with tears. She muttered at him, relishing that she got what she wanted from him, "Thank you."

He snorted, "Don't think I'm getting soft scales on you, girl." Then he stood away from the human woman and whirled around on her, looking past his wing, "Now go back in the cave and wait, while I cook your damn food." He trotted to the deer, using his claws to cut at the meat from it. Taylor was starting to feel sick at the blood coming from the cuts he's making. She felt like she was going to throw up seeing it. She covered her mouth and ran into the cave. Taking a gulp full of deep breaths, when she entered in there. Starting to calm down, after her wave of nausea went away.

*****

The day went by fast, and Taylor has put up with the dragon's attitude all day long. He wasn't really making things easier on her. But at least this morning and this afternoon, she got something to eat from her host. Which she was glad he wasn't letting her starve. Since Taylor was still scared and angry at him at the same time for kidnapping her, she hardly said one word to him after the morning came and left. But the dragon on the other paw, was just ordering her around like a slave. Which she found it pretty humiliating. She found this worse than being humiliated by all the guys she was with. He's worse than the humans.

Taylor kept thinking of ways to escape from him, but she keeps thinking that the ideas she came up with weren't exactly great. She felt like she had one option to do.

She had to escape him during the night. That's the only thing she can come up with.

Taylor does remember that the dragon warned her the other night that he has good hearing when he's asleep. But she doubts that he can hear her, when he's in a deep sleep. Taylor was being a good girl the other night, but she won't deal with his giant ego sized attitude anymore. She's getting the hell out of there. She won't be his prisoner.

The night came forth and the crickets were heard outside the cave. Taylor was only half asleep when she rose her head from the furs. She saw that the dragon's asleep, curled up on the floor. He was snoring a bit through his nose. Twitching his paw as he was dreaming about something.

Taylor was starting to smile as her time to escape was nigh. So she started to slowly get up on the soft furs, stretched her arms just a bit and looked to the entrance now. Seeing that her exit to escaping's about 50 feet away. She let out a nervous breath. She sorta thinks she'll get caught, and killed. She was having second thoughts about this. But then the brave part within the girl gave her the confidence to do this. She HAS to try. She's getting out of there.

She took a calm breath and started to step off the furs, seeing that the only way she'll escape through that entrance, is to get past the dragon. She just needs to be as quiet as possible. Make any real loud noise and she's caught. She fidgeted a bit, and started to tip toe her way up beside him. When Taylor was close to his head, he mumbled in his sleep. When she gazed at his sleeping head, she realized that when he's sleeping and not being an asshole, he looked peaceful.

He was mumbling through his muzzle again and actually blurted out a word, "L....Laura?" He shifted his head a bit and she let out a small gasp as he almost brushed it against her. He continued to talk in his dream induced sleep.

Taylor frowned at the sleeping drake. Laura? Who was Laura? She never knew that the dragon knew someone named Laura. She figured it wasn't another dragon that he was talking about. She figured that dragons don't have names like that. Then again, she never knew that dragons literally have names at all. She wasn't even sure, if that drake has a name at all. That dragon's dreaming about another human named Laura. Who is she?

Then a thought crossed her mind. Since he probably had a dirty mind, he was just dreaming about another human he probably kidnapped and actually had his way with her. She glared at him, he really was a sick lizard.

Taylor looked at the entrance again and let out a breath. She's about halfway there, she has to get past him and she's gone. She nodded to herself and tip toed again, the drake's tail thumping a bit on the cave floor and one hind leg twitched again in his slumber. She walked past his hind end, still tip toeing past him just in case. Tip toeing, until she was out in the cool night air outside. She let out a breath of relief and looked back at the dragon and made sure he's sleeping still. He is. She smiled internally and walked away from the mouth of the cave. Walking toward the cliff and looked down over it, to see if she could climb down. Her face went wide at how high she was. Not really a good idea, since it's like several hundred feet above the ground. The only other place she could go to, was the forest behind the cave. Her eyes turned to the trees near the cliff and behind the cave.

She's thinking she'll escape him through the forest and maybe when she walks for several hours, she'll end up in a village nearby.

Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't even know exactly where she's at in these lands. But she had to try to figure it out. She has to escape that scaly asshole!

She put on a determined look and started to jog toward the trees. Escaping from her captor.

*****

The black scaled dragon groaned in his sleep and he flickered his eyelids, groggily opening them. He was feeling thirsty and he wanted to go to the lake in the forest and get a drink. He rose his head above the ground and drew back his head for a tongue curling yawn. He was starting to stand up on his paws and started to stretch out his wings and limbs. Each of them popping.

He let out a quiet sigh, thinking that he'll wake up the human girl he brought here if he makes too much noise.

Then his thoughts went to that dream he had...About Laura.

He had a sad look on his face, but then he washed it off when he was shaking his head. He didn't want to think about her. He has had enough of thinking about her. But his sharp mind didn't make it easy on him.

Then his thoughts went to the girl he kidnapped and brought here. Remembering the reason why he brought her here to begin with. He was starting to wonder if it was a good idea to bring her here. That maybe, he should've left her alone that night and left her to her business.

Now that he thinks about it...He doesn't even know her name. Come to think of it, he never told her his name either.

He didn't want to tell her his name, because he didn't trust her. Dragons don't tell their names, unless that dragon considered this someone their friend.

But the human girl he brought here, seemed to be on her best behavior. And he was bossing her around all day long. And she asked him the reason why he brought her to his cave and never gave her the answer. Maybe he should tell her the reason why she's here with him. Maybe she would be kind enough to understand. Don't know if she'll believe him, but he can try.

He drew a smile across his snout. Yes...He'll tell her tomorrow. But first, he needs a drink and go back to sleep.

When he thought about the girl, he turned his head to the furs and his eyes went wide when he saw that she's gone. He gasped, "What?!" He lowered his head to the furs and sniffed them. She was there, but she's definitely gone. He was growling now in anger. He knew it! He knew she would try to escape again!

He bared his teeth, and whirled around from the furs, his long tail barely hitting the cave wall. He paced fast outside into the night and saw her footprints on the dirt. He lowered his head to them and followed them with his eyes. Seeing them head into the forest. He growled again. She won't escape. He'll find her and bring her back! Or maybe he'll kill her, so she won't be a problem to him again! Course, he'll have to think real hard about this. Then he started to take flight with his wings, flying over the forest, so he can find her. She won't get far! She won't!

*****

Taylor was jogging for a second, until she went back to walking again. She was rubbing her arms, feeling a bit cold out here. She wished that she had a warm coat with her, but too bad a big, scaly jerk kidnapped her! She let out a brr, as she was still feeling chilled through the forest she's still wandering around in. She looked up through the trees, trying to look up at the sky. She can still see the skies through the leaves, tree branches and such. The crickets were chirping loud in the area.

She didn't know how long she has been walking around. All she knew, is that she had to walk as long as possible. To get as far away from the drake as possible in one night. She let out a huff to herself and let out a short yawn. She's probably gonna feel so worn out in the morning, but she had to keep going.

Taylor's feet were killing her and she needed to take a break for a minute. She found a rock not far from her, and she strolled up and sat down on it. Feeling a bit better since she found a place to sit.

She placed her hands on her lap, still feeling relieved that she escaped finally from the dragon. Good riddance. She had enough of him. She put on a glare when she was thinking about that selfish dragon. Dragons are always selfish and egotistical, that's what she'd always believed.

Then her thoughts went to why he kidnapped her, why he never killed her at all. She does know why he brought her here, because he wants her as a slave and for pleasure, and he won't admit it. But then she's getting a feeling in her stomach that there's more to it than what she thinks. Maybe she shouldn't have...Left him alone.

Taylor brushed that thought out of her mind. That was pure nonsense! She shouldn't feel sorry for him! He kidnapped her against her will! She didn't want to be plucked from the ground like a carrot and kidnapped to his cave! She should hate him, not feel sorry for him! She did the right thing sneaking away from him.

If she'd stayed, she would either be killed by him, or be used for his disgusting desires. She had to get away.

Taylor looked around the woods as she was sitting on the rock. She's wondering which way she should go now? Where is the nearest village? She hopes she'll find one soon. Because she doesn't know how to hunt out here. She would pick a apple or two from a tree for food, but that would be it.

She fidgeted her hands in nervousness. She has to think of something, she has to.

Then her pulse quickened, when Taylor heard growling behind her. She jumped up off the rock and saw to her horror, that a wolf is behind her. Baring it's teeth has it had it's death glare at her. Looking at her as food to eat in the middle of the night. Taylor began to back away, until she saw another wolf appear beside it. Then before she could turn and run away, another wolf came from another direction, blocking her way. It was baring it's teeth too. Taylor was backing away from that one and she could hear another one behind her from another direction. Then she began to see and realize that she was being surrounded by a whole pack of wolves.

There was no way she could run away now, she was trapped in a circle of the hunters.

That's when one wolf made a leap and landed close in front of the terrified girl. Taylor let out a high pitch scream of horror and collapsed on her butt. Her heart pounding fast and breathing hard. The wolf was getting ready to pounce on her, to go for the kill. She screamed again, her voice echoed throughout the forest. And before anything else could happen, she heard a very loud roar. Taylor gasped and the wolves all had their ears perked at it. That's when the black dragon landed near one of them from out of nowhere through the canopy of the trees. Making the ground shake with his landing, Taylor screamed at the appearance of the drake and the same dragon made another threatening roar at the wolf who's in front of her.

One of the wolves jumped at him, clawing at his scales and biting down into his leg. He roared in pain, as two more wolves were starting to attack him too. Taylor was scooting away from the scene, as the wolf pack was focused on him now. Not on Taylor at all. She watched in horror at the wolves attacking the dragon.

But the dragon wasn't going to take anymore pain from them and he managed to grab one wolf with one paw and throw it at a tree, breaking it's bones. Then he used his tail to smack another one away and it yelped out in pain. The wolves were backing away, trying to think of a strategy to kill him. The black dragon flared his wings, showing them that he's nothing to be messed with. But the smaller hunters didn't back down one bit.

That's when he started to have smoke in his snout, and to Taylor's surprise, she gasped when she saw that he let out a torrent of fire out of his maw, burning the wolves and hearing them whimpering to death. There were only two more wolves left, so one leapt at him, and while in mid air, he caught the smaller creature with his jaws, biting down on it, drawing a lot of blood from it's little body. Taylor moaned in disgust at the sight and the dragon threw the thing away, letting it loose from his mouth. Then he used one paw to swipe the last wolf away, yelping when it got hit. The last one didn't get up after that.

The black dragon was breathing heavily and he drew back his head and roared towards the skies. Roaring in victory over the small battle. Taylor would've ran away during the whole thing, but she was just frozen in fright. She couldn't move at all. Her mind was racing at his appearance. Pretty shocked that he's out here with her. She knew that she was quiet enough to escape him, while he was sleeping. Then one idea came to her. She figured that maybe he just woke up on his own and saw that she was gone. That's why he just showed up and found her. When the drake looked down and spotted Taylor, he was growling at her. He made several paces toward her, Taylor was shaking her head at him, trying to scoot back from him, "No, please! Don't kill me!"

He resettled his wings and thrashed his tail behind him, as he was staring angrily down at her, "You really have a lot of nerve escaping me."

Taylor was continuing to shake her head with her pleading eyes, "Please....I'm....I'm sorry."

He didn't show any pity in his eyes at all. Then he picked her up with one paw and she screamed as he tightened his grip on her. He brought his face close to hers, "We're going back home." And with that, he started to flap his wings and took to the skies, flying through several trees branches in the canopy to get over the forest. As he did, he started to fly over the trees, Taylor held onto him, looking down at the ground below them.

She was relieved that he didn't kill her, but she was disappointed that her plan didn't work out. And...She was surprised that he saved her life too!

That drew a curious frown on her. Why did he save her? What does he want from her really?

She really needs to know. She has to. She has to know the truth from him.

*****

The drake glided down to the ground, flapping his wings to slow himself down. He landed smoothly on his hind feet, letting Taylor down easily on the ground beside him. He landed his front paws next and resettled his wings on his back. Taking a deep breath and letting it out. Taylor was brushing her hair with her hand, since the wind had messed it up. She let out a sigh and smiled nervously up at him, "Uh...Thank you."

He shot a glare at her, thumping his tail, "For what?"

"For saving my life. I...Haven't expected that to happen."

He just glared at the human girl and snorted, "Yeah, like I wasn't expecting a little bitch like you to escape my clutches. To escape me during my slumber."

Her smile went away in an instant and she said in a low voice, "Look...I'm sorry, I-"

He roared at her, "I don't believe you are sorry!" She screamed and stepped back away from him. He raged on when he padded a step toward her, "I thought that I can at least trust you. Maybe I was going to warm up to you, after time between us has passed. When you behaved well today, I began to think that you were just some nice little girl and I haven't regretted my decision one bit. But I guess, I'm wrong about you! I should just kill you right now. You're a human, just like all the other humans who have wronged me and my kind! You've played with my thoughts!"

Taylor put on a glare and said with heat in her words, "Played your thoughts?! You know what? Maybe I wouldn't have ran away, if you have treated me with respect!" Her attitude caught him off guard and she went on with balled fists, "You kidnapped me! And then you were bossing me around like a slave! You never said one nice thing to me! And why? Because I'm human?!" She motioned her heated hand at him, "Well, you're not very nice yourself! You treat humans like we're nothing to you! Look who's talking."

He growled, "I am NOT nothing. I am something!"

Taylor spread out her arms and dared him, "Then kill me! If you hate my kind so much, then bloody kill me!" He tilted his head and she shouted, "I'm nothing to you, right? Well kill me! I'm waiting! Get it over with! I don't have much back at home, so kill me!"

The drake didn't do anything, he was just breathing heavily as his anger was welling up in his scaled chest. Taylor lowered her arms and shook her head, "You won't kill me, will you?" She raised her voice again, "Then why?! Why am I so important?! Why did you save me?! Why not let the wolves kill me?! What do you want from me?!"

He scrunched his nose and curled his dragon lips into a sneer, "You wouldn't understand it. You think I'm gonna use you as pleasure."

"Are you kidding me?! Just like before, you still won't tell me! I have had it! Tell me! Why did you bring me here?! Why?!"

He glared and said in a threatening tone, "Shut up, you wench."

She defiantly screamed, "I'm not going to shut up! I'm tired of you not telling me why! I've had it! I want an answer and I want it now!"

The dragon shouted back, "Why? So that way I'd show you my weakness and let you exploit it?! Get mounted, girl!"

She crossed her arms, "Tell me, or I'll kick you in the balls!"

That got to him a bit when he showed a wide look. He curled his tail around himself to protect his eggs, "Don't even think about it."

Taylor continued to argue with the dragon, "Then tell me!!! Why am I here?!" Then a thought came to her and she shouted the name, "Who's Laura?!"

When she said that name, his face showed shock, "How did you know that name?" He narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to her level, "How did you know that name, human?"

She thrusted a finger at his nose, "Stop asking me the questions! Who's Laura?! Is she some poor peasant girl you kidnapped and mated her for pleasure?! Did you kill her when she didn't want to be with a sick lizard like you?! Did you kill her for that, you sick monster?!"

To her surprise that really got to him, and he raised his head high above her and snarled with a flare of his wings, "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HER!"

"THEN WHO IS SHE?!!!"

"SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND!!!"

Taylor let out a gasp at his confession and for the first time, she can see that his eyes were showing pain. He wasn't hiding it. He said in the low calm voice, "She WAS my best friend. And she's gone." Then he showed a glare again, "But I guess you don't care about that, do you? Dragons are monsters, right? They can't exactly have friends that are humans, right? Well you know what, you bitch? I did have a friend! And Laura's a human!" He shook his head at her, "I would never do anything to hurt her, but you don't care. You never believed me! You never believed a word I said!"

Taylor was just speechless at his words. She couldn't believe it. He had a friend and she was a human. And judging by the look in his eyes, she sees that he's telling her the truth. He wasn't lying to her at all. The dragon took a deep breath and let it out, "If you want to know the truth, if you want to exploit my weakness? FINE! Here it is! I've met Laura years back, where I used to live. I used to live in a dragon clan, until I decided to leave them to start my own independent life. I've met Laura who was from a nearby village." He pointed his claw behind Taylor, pointing past the cave behind her, "I used to live in the northern lands. Used to live near the village of Maple Grove. As you may know, I'm far from those lands and living here now."

Taylor tilted her head at him, listening to his tale, "I was hesitant to consider Laura as a friend, but she didn't leave me alone. She found out where I've lived outside her village. And she kept seeing me, even after telling her to leave me alone. That I wasn't interested in befriending humans. Back then, I have always kept a distance from your kind. And...For some reason, I was warming up to her. Me, a dragon, warming up to a human. I'd thought that humans couldn't be trusted. But...She was different. The long raven hair flowing over her head. Her eyes...They were blue like a river...." He trailed off for a moment and gestured his paw to her, "You have her hair, just like her. You have her eyes, just like her. She even has the same body as yours. She was...Beautiful."

The human girl decided to ask him, "So...What happened to her? Where's Laura?"

HIs pain in his eyes shone again and she can see his lower jaw quivering, he was speaking out loud, like he wasn't speaking to her, "Me and her were close....Me and her...Were very close. She never deserved it. She was a kind soul and she never deserved it."

She was getting a feeling she knew what happened to Laura, but she just wanted him to speak it. To just let it out. She pressed him, "What happened to her?"

The dragon has actually shed a tear down his scaly cheek and he answered, "She's gone."

Taylor figured that she was dead and he went on, "Me and Laura were out and about, far away from her village. Having the time of our lives. We've enjoyed each others company. She...Really cared for me. And then...It happened." He growled a bit in anger at the memory flowing in his eyes, "I was leaving her alone...Getting something for us to eat. She was waiting for me. And then...When I've caught something, I heard her screaming from a far off distance. I was far away, but dragons have good hearing. She was screaming for me...For my help."

He shut his eyes tight and his whole body trembled, "When I came back...There were a few other humans standing over her...Standing over her body. They were bandits who came out of nowhere....They were hitting her...Stabbing her....They were trying to steal things from her, but she didn't have anything at all. She never deserved to be beat and stabbed...She was a good person. I killed them all, and I was over her....Practically dying from losing blood. I've got back to her in time. She...Reached up to me and....She said that I was the best friend she could ever had."

He opened his eyes and there were some tears falling down from them now and he glared at his own memory, "And that was the moment, I was beginning to change. I felt so sad....And alone. I never felt alone before I've met her and when she died, I was. From that moment, I was alone. I...Took her body and laid it near the village, so she would have...A decent burial for her." He softened his look, and choked on a sob and sniffed his nose, "After she died, I was trying to find a new friend to replace her. I even found a human woman who was a lot different than her. But...I did try to talk to her, to see if she was anything like her at all. To see if she wouldn't leave me alone, like Laura hadn't. But...She screamed at me. Told me to get away from her. I was shocked and saddened at her words and I flew away....Never looking back at the terrified woman."

Taylor was feeling pity for the drake. For the first time since she's met him, she was feeling pity, "Dragon...."

He snarled, "That's exactly what everyone thought of me and saw! A dragon! Laura told everyone in her village about me, but they never trusted me! Despite what she thought about me, none of them would trust me! They didn't call me their friend! They hated me! They even accused me of killing Laura! How dare they!"

She shook her head in sadness, "Oh...God..."

"From that moment on, I was starting to hate humanity. For what humanity did to Laura, for how they were treating me. When the village didn't care about me, including the woman I never met before, that was it. My hatred towards your kind grew and grew. And so...I've left those lands, hoping that I'll forget Laura. But I can't! I'll never let her go!"

Taylor started to say this when she reached out her hand for him, "Dragon...I'm sorry. I didn't know...I-"

He took his hatred out on her, "Don't you even dare spit your lies at me! You're not sorry! You're never sorry!"

She was denying his claim, "No, I am sorry! I'm sorry for leaving you! I...Shouldn't have judged you! I do trust you!"

He thrashed his tail, "You never believed a word I said before, so what makes you trust me now?!"

Taylor explained, "Because you just saved my life. And...You never killed me. You never did before, you've fed me for gods sake!" She brushed her hair away from her face and over her shoulder, "I can see why you didn't trust me at all...Why you were treating me the way you did....You thought I was like them. I get it dragon, I do. And...I'm sorry that I was trying to leave you. I am."

She reached out for his chest and he backed away from her, snarling at her hand, "Don't!"

She jerked her hand back, "But-"

"I never should've brought you here! Now you'll exploit my weakness!"

"No! I won't!"

He began to stroll past her, looking down at her as he did so. He was crying still, "Just go away! You hate me and won't admit it! I never should've brought you here! I never had a right to, you were right! Just go back to where you belong! You're not living in my cave anymore! Leave me alone!" He made fast paces through the entrance of the cave, leaving Taylor alone outside. Her lip quivered as all the words came out of that dragon's snout just got to her. She was wrong...Oh, how she was wrong about him.

He wasn't a monster after all. And...She started to figure out why she was brought here.

When he saw Taylor outside her village that night, he must've thought of her as Laura. Despite his hatred, those kind feelings were still there. That's why he kidnapped her, that's why she's not dead. It's because he wanted a friend again. And he picked her.

Then she remembered this morning, when she thought she'd heard him crying. The reason why she didn't see any tears on the poor drake, was because he didn't show her his weakness, she did however see some pain in his eyes and hid it straight away. He was good at hiding things. Now...He's not hiding things from her anymore. He's showing his emotions.

And she never knew what happened to him...Until now.

Now Taylor feels regret trying to run away from him tonight. This is all her fault. She shouldn't have judged him so harshly. Never...Accused him of planning to do devious things to her. Now she was showing concern for the dragon. A tear fell down her face and she wiped it away. He's been through worse in life, than she has. A lot worse.

She has to make it right. She has to make it right.

Taylor whirled around and walked through the mouth of the cave, seeing the dragon burying his face into his paws and furs. Sobbing quietly with his wings and body shuddering and his tail curled around him. Taylor really felt sorry for him and was feeling guilt tug at her heart. She really has to make it right. She didn't want to see anyone cry. For her own good nature, she began to tentatively walk up to his quivering scaled form, not taking her eyes off of him. When she was close to his head, she leaned her head and said in a whisper, "I'm sorry, dragon. I...I just didn't know."

He sniffed his nose and his voice muffled when he spoke, "How could you have known? I...Guess, it was my fault that I didn't tell you."

She found herself reaching out her hand and touching his forehead, rubbing it up and down, "We all make mistakes. And it's in the past."

"I....I thought you've hated me."

She replied and sighed, "No...I don't hate you...Not anymore. Actually...I forgive you."

He rose his head from his own forepaws, Taylor drawing back her hand from him, and he stared at her at her eye level, "Are you not just saying that? Are you not lying to me? I thought you wanted to go home." Then he turned his head away and said with a bit of a deep growl in his throat, "You see my weakness now. So I'm getting a feeling you'll exploit it now."

Taylor shook her head, "I'm not trying to hurt you. I...I'm starting to care about you now." She showed him a hint of a smile, "I mean, come on, big guy. You just rescued me from wolves. How can I hate you for that? No one...Never did that for me. Trust me, no one did. You're...The first one who did."

The black scaled drake asked, still not gazing at her, "Do you...Regret your actions?"

She put both hands to his head and made him look at her, making him look at her in the eye, he didn't pull away from her grasp, "Yes. And...I'm still sorry."

The dragon's breathing was starting to tremble, when his sobs were coming back to him again, "I'm sorry....Human. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for-"

What shocked the dragon, was she planted her soft lips to his nose, leaving him a kiss. She pulled back and smiled, "I told you. I forgive you. And...I know why you brought me here now....You were angry at humanity, but you were looking for a friend. Is that why I'm here? Did you bring me here...So I can be your friend?"

The dragon admitted it when a moment passed, "....Yes."

Then another thing shocked the dragon, when she hugged his head close to her chest, stroking the underside of his head, "Then, I'll be your friend. And I promise, I won't leave you."

Judging by the sound of his breathing, her words warmed his heart. Then he let out the words that've warmed the human's heart too, "Thank you."

Taylor giggled to herself and replied, "I never did tell you my name. I was just too angry to tell you." She took a deep breath and let it out, "My name's Taylor. Do you have a name?"

He chuckled a bit at her question, "Yes...It's Velrik."

She was giggling when she finally knew his name, "Velrik...That's a handsome name." And with that, Velrik started to let his tears come out of him again and he sobbed really loud into her chest. Taylor was shushing him, trying to soothe him through his pain and loneliness. She dropped to her knees, still clutching the drake's head to her. His tears were getting her clothes wet, but she didn't care if they were. She wanted to help him. She even felt his paw wrapped around her waist, not wanting to let her go now. Taylor soothed him with words, "I'm here, Velrik...I'm here."

From that moment on, a friendship has formed.

*****

Taylor was carrying a wool sack full of belongings in it, walking in the middle of her village between several wooden cottages. With a smile drawn across her face, she was heading out of the village to find Velrik. Where she had left him, was at the forest, hidden away in the trees, so no one would find him. He's waiting patiently for her.

It has been about three days, since the incident that night made the two of them forge a friendship. A friendship she'd never thought possible. She never thought of meeting a dragon, let alone befriending one. But since that night, they've become close. All because of the dragon's confession, forgiveness has been made, and they're now close.

She has given the drake her word that she wants to stay with him, since there's nothing that'll really make the girl stay in her former home. All that home did was bring her misery, because of failed relationships and embarrassment. And how they both got in this part of the land, Velrik actually took her flying, not be carried in his paws, but to ride on his back. At first, she was scared and actually wanted him to carry her. But Velrik wanted her to feel the exhilaration of riding on a dragon's back. He had done that with Laura years ago, and he wanted her to feel the same as her. So Taylor agreed, and for the first time in her life, she was literally riding on that drake's back. Soaring over the lands and into the sky, she was frightened because she was afraid she'd fall. But only about five minutes of taking flight has passed and when she opened her eyes...She was happy and amazed. And that actually made her giggle.

Taylor was now at the edge of the village, looking at the place one more time, before departing back to Velrik. When she came back home, she went to the bakery and found Bernard working there. He was happy to see her, saying that he was worried that she'd been gone for the past few days. She told him everything, told him about the dragon, much to the old man's shock. But she'd calmed him down. Telling him that the dragon's not a threat and hasn't hurt her. She was also telling him that she was leaving the village and will only visit the place every once in a while. Bernard said that he'll miss her and they've shared a hug. He even gave her some honey cakes so she'll share some with the dragon. Taylor never thought of giving the dragon some sweets, but it'll be the first time for everything. At least, give the dragon something new to eat. She didn't decline the old man's offer, and with one last kiss to the cheek goodbye she left him to his shop.

Her thoughts on Bernard came forth in her mind and she smiled to herself, still staring at the village. She'll see him again. Just only once in a while. She won't stay away from the beloved old man forever. He alone, in that village, was the only good thing that's living there. She honestly wished that she could've brought Bernard to her dragon, but he couldn't leave the shop. Only another time will come for the introduction. Taylor with another second to glance at the village passed, she whirled around with her belongings slung over her shoulder. She walked on the main dirt road, heading back to the drake in the forest.

Big, tall trees greeted her when she wandered in the woods, and at the spot where she left Velrik, he was sitting on his haunches near a big rock, waiting patiently with a thump of his tail to the grass. He grinned at her, "There you are. Took you long enough."

Taylor was laughing at his remark and replied when she stood in front of him, "Hey, I told you it might take me a bit to get what I want, and I was seeing Bernard, remember?"

Velrik let out a sigh, "Still, you could've brought the old one here. I wanted to meet him." Then he narrowed his eyes at her in question, "So, I figured you did tell him about me, how did he take it? Knowing that you were kidnapped by a dragon?"

Taylor was just smiling at him, "Bernard took it well. He was surprised at what I told him, but I told him what you've went through. He understood why you kidnapped me."

He lowered his head to her level and nuzzled softly into her chest, "I'm glad that I did still. You really aren't bad company, after all." Then he drew back his muzzle and smirked at her face, "And also, you didn't kick me in the balls when I did."

She giggled, "Oh, believe me, when you were having an attitude at me, I wanted to."

He muttered with a chuckle, "Yep, and I can imagine the kick." He shuddered and let out a trembling breath at the thought.

Then she snickered and reached to pet behind his ear, "But for being such a good boy, I'll let it slide. You haven't barked an order at me for days." Velrik closed his eyes and was leaning into her fingers, enjoying her touch. He was also emitting a purr deep in his throat, which sound like rumbles. She giggled at this. Finding that it was too cute to listen to him purr. She didn't think dragons could purr at all. She figured that Laura, before she died, found the drake's purring cute as well.

The black drake twitched his hind leg and moaned at her touch a bit, "Mwwaaah, so I take it that-aaahhh, you didn't tell Bernard about this?"

Taylor shook her head and stopped, "He doesn't know. I've kept your secret."

He smiled at her, "Well good. Cause, I didn't want the old human to get the idea that a big, tough dragon like me, can purr. It's...A bit embarrassing to me."

Taylor returned the smile with her own, "Aww, does the grumpy dragon not liked to be embarrassed by his purr?"

He playfully narrowed his eyes at her, "I'm not grumpy. I'd be grumpy if I was embarrassed."

She put her hands to her hips, "Better not be grumpy, or you won't get your sweets for snack time."

He cocked his head, which she began to smile at his curiosity, "Sweets?"

She giggled and pulled her wool sack off her shoulder and started digging into it. Pulling out a honey cake from it. She held it out for him, "This is a honey cake. I'm sure you never had one."

The dragon brought his nose close to it and gave the sweet a sniff, "Hmm, so that's a sweet."

She offered, "Want to try it? This is Bernard's special. I'm sure you'll love it, trust me on that. It's really good."

The dragon took her word for it and picked it up with two digits and brought it to his mouth, chewing on it slowly. He was rising his head, still chewing on the snack. What happened next brought a wide face to him. He let out a trilling sound in his throat, relishing the taste in his mouth. Taylor liked his expression and he swallowed it moments later. He smiled at her, "It was delicious! If I ever meet this Bernard, I'll be having him make me hundreds of them!"

She laughed at his plan, "Eating all those honey cakes would make you fat, dear dragon."

He teased her, "Then it'll be your fault for not stopping me from eating them."

Taylor replied as she swung the bag over her shoulder again, "Well since you like honey cakes now, I got a few left in the bag. But you'll only get them if you give me a ride home."

Velrik lowered himself to the ground, "Get on board."

Taylor went up to his side and started to mount him, sitting comfortably on top of his back, "Just don't say I didn't warn you about getting fat, dragon."

He began to rise off the ground, looking over his shoulder to grin at her, "I've been warned, my human."

She reached and touch the back of his neck, "Ready?"

He nodded and started to flare his wings, ready for flying, "Lets go home." Taylor wrapped her arms around her scaly friend's neck and when he felt her, he bounded to the air, taking flight above the woods and on their way back home. This was her second flight on his back, and she wasn't afraid like before. With the wind blowing at her hair and face, she was feeling alive up in the sky. Velrik flapped his wings and angled to his right in the air.

She looked up at the cloud filled sky, imagining that her mother up in heaven is watching them. Watching her daughter enjoying the flight. Taylor smiled at the thought. Then she looked at the back of her friend's neck, he was focusing on his flight. If only he could've met her mother. She would've liked the dragon, just like her daughter has.

Taylor let out a high pitch scream of joy over the wind, "AAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Velrik heard her and let out a roar a moment later.

*****

Four Months Later

Taylor's having a walk in the woods during the night, enjoying the coolness in the air, it was a little warm in the night too. She looked up at the sky, right at the half moon. She smiled to herself and kept walking back to the cave where Velrik's waiting.

Four months have passed since their first meeting, and things are basically still the same and all good. She loved being with the dragon a lot more than she realized, and he loved being with the human in return. They're both just glad to have met months ago. Taylor is more glad than anything else. Before she'd met him, she was miserable. With all the boyfriends she'd had, and how she was treated like a whore, she was so miserable. But now with all the company she was getting, all the flying she had with him, how he was teaching her how to hunt on her own, how they've enjoyed swimming together in a lake not far away from their cave, how they've just talked to each other about their families and what they liked to do in their spare time, even joking to each other as often as they've wanted to, how she was sleeping close to his warm, soft scales...She was feeling closer with him...So close in fact.

The human girl stopped trotting and suddenly was feeling a fuzzy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was rubbing it in circles, as she recalled to have had that feeling before. She remembered having this type of feeling whenever she saw a handsome boy back at the village...More than once. But only the odd part about what's going through her mind is that, she wasn't thinking about any normal boy...She was thinking about the dragon.

Frankly...She was thinking about the dragon in this certain way for a month...And she was surprised about it. She knows what that feeling is....She's in love with the drake.

Taylor shook her head in denial. It was ridiculous to her. Thinking she can think about him that way. But that feeling's there...She's in love with him. Sure, to her he was totally handsome for a dragon, but being in love with him...She didn't know what to think or say to herself about the revelation. He does talk and isn't mindless, like a human, but he's still a dragon. She can't figure out how to resolve it. She even tried to let that feeling go, but no matter how hard she'd tried, she can't. It's still there. One time, she wanted to tell Bernard about what she'd felt, since Velrik still takes her to the village to visit the old man and Bernard talks to him too, but she couldn't tell him. She just couldn't do it. She was thinking about what everyone else would think, including Bernard...How every human would think of her view on the mighty creature. Even she thinks that the dragon wouldn't think about her, in that way. He wouldn't.

Or...Would he? That's the question played in Taylor's mind right now.

He cares about her, and cares about her safety, loves having her around since Laura...But does he really love her too? Just like she loves him? Now another question popped up in her mind...Did the dragon like Laura, before she died? Now she's quite curious. He never mentioned anything about that. He kept referring to Laura as his friend. Or maybe he did love her, and he just didn't want to mention that kind of thing to Taylor. He's probably afraid of what his new human friend would think of his love for Laura.

She somewhat has her doubts if that's true, but she's thinking maybe the reason why he cares for Laura so much, was he'd loved her. Honestly, Taylor wouldn't have minded if he felt love toward his first human friend back then. She could never turn her back on him, there was no way.

She reached up and clenched her hand over her chest, her heart was pounding for trying to decide on how to deal with this. She still doesn't know if she should tell him the truth about what she feels, or just keep her mouth shut. If he doesn't feel that way about her, she doesn't want to make it awkward between them. Taylor let out a sigh to herself and resumed her walk back to the cave, taking fast strides.

Taylor decided to not let her thoughts about him, trouble her. She's just going back to him and pretend like nothing's bothering her. Which she can hope that they won't let them bother her too much.

*****

Taylor finally made it to the cave, about ten minutes later. And in the distance, she can see the handsome, black dragon sitting on his haunches looking at the stars. Sitting near the cliff in front of the cave. Swishing his tail back and forth along the dirt ground. She can feel that feeling in her stomach again, while she was staring at his flanks. Her face flushed at she imagined him humping her, despite that she's small! He was letting out a earth shattering roar as he'd claim her as his mate.

She never did see his cock before, but she can actually imagine it, and it's big! Taylor was shaking her head from those thoughts, trying to bring that blush off her cheeks. She took a deep breath, calming herself down and her heart beat. Her imagination was going wild and she needs to calm down. She walked slowly up behind the drake and said with a smile on her face, "Hey, Velrik."

Velrik heard her voice and shifted around on his haunches to see her. He smiled when he caught eyes on the beautiful human, "How was the walk? You were gone for a long time."

She brought her wrist to her mouth and giggled, "I did tell you I was gonna have a long walk. I sorta felt like I was getting fat for some reason."

He chuckled deep in his throat, "Sure, like the honey cakes that you eat with me." He gave her a wink, "Hey, you've warned me that I was going to get fat eating them, better take your own advice."

Taylor brought a playful glare and crossed her arms, underneath her breasts, "I don't eat them as much as you, fatty drake." Then she grinned big, showing her teeth, "You should take walks with me then, try to lose your pounds. That way, you'll stay skinny like me."

He gave her a devious grin, "Well, you said you feel fat...So..."

She pointed a finger at him, not showing a playful glare, but actually glaring seriously at him, "If you say that I really am fat, I'll-"

Velrik rolled his eyes, "Kick me in the balls, I know you were going to say that."

That's when she washed that glare off her face, and just gave him her own devious smile, "No, actually, I'm going to ask Bernard to not make you anymore honey cakes for you, if you call me fat."

He reared back his head and his frills flared, "What?! And let you have all the honey cakes to yourself?" He grumbled, "That's bullshit."

"Then don't call me fat and I won't give him the order."

He grumbled again and turned his eyes to the sky again, "Whatever. You'll end up getting fat by having them all to yourself, anyways."

Taylor strode up, until she stood beside the drake, "Be quiet, or I'll go through with my warning."

He was waving his paw at her in surrender, without taking his gaze off the stars, "Alright, alright. I'm not calling you fat." Then he drew a mischievous smile on his muzzle.

Taylor caught his smirk and called him out on it, "You're thinking about it, aren't you?"

"I probably am."

Taylor let out a playful sigh and rolled up her eyes, "Gods, dragon, what am I going to do with you?" They both shared a laugh and she looked up at the sky too, sitting down on the ground with him, "They look beautiful tonight."

He nodded in agreement, "They are." He slowly draped his wing around the human companion and Taylor slid into his warm wing membrane.

She said in contentment, "Thank you, kinda chilly now."

He replied, "Wouldn't want you to catch your death out here. I'd feel terrible, if you did."

She looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you, Velrik."

He pulled her a bit more closer to him with his wing, "You're welcome, Taylor." They've enjoyed the long silence together, looking up at the twinkling stars. Taylor always did enjoy watching the bright, night skies with her dragon. Made her wish she'd watch them sooner back then. She feels calm when she's sitting by him.

Then her warm fuzzy feeling came back again and she quietly rubbed her stomach once more. She wanted to tell him the truth, right now in fact. But she kept her trap shut. She heard Velrik letting out a sigh and she looked up at him, showing a bit of concern since the sigh didn't quite sound right, "Are you alright?"

He hummed at her question, like she had interrupted his thoughts, "Hmm?" Then he shook his head from this thought on his mind, "Oh, yes, I'm fine." She can see his expression looks a bit sad. She can see his pain like it has before.

Taylor pressed him, "Do you want to talk about it?" She held out an extended finger on her hand and traced it on his scales in a circle, "I'm right here, if you're feeling sad."

The dragon sighed, "I know. Its just....Laura..." He hung his head, as the wing around Taylor shuddered by his sad thought.

Taylor shone pity in her eyes, "I know you still miss her. When I'm here with you, you still think about her." She looked down at her lap, "I know how that gets, big guy. You know I still miss my mother, when she's in heaven. I think about her."

He snorted a bit, "Well, I can see that your mother and Laura have met and are talking to each other. And watching over us, too. Laura, thinking about what can she do to make me feel better in my own sorrow?" He shook his head, "She never did figure it out. The dead can't do anything for the living."

Taylor laid the side of her head on him, letting out a breath, "Even I know what you mean. I always...." She trailed off.

Velrik looked down at her, "What's on your mind?"

Of all the times she has known him, she never did tell him about what happened to her, before she'd met him months ago. What her life was like after her mother died....All the boys she was with. She never did tell him that, because she thought it wasn't too important. Now she wants to tell him that, "Velrik...There's something I never told you before. And...I want to ask you this question first, alright?"

"What?"

She looked up and asked, "Have you...Ever had a girlfriend? Or...A mate, or whatever you'd call it?"

That question surprised him, since she never did ask him that type of question before. Velrik had a question of his own, "Why'd you ask me that?" Then he cocked his head, "Did you...Have a mate?"

Taylor shook her head, but then she shrugged, "Well I guess I did...More than once. But a real mate....No."

Now his eyes shone concern and also curiosity, "Oh....What happened?"

She answered with a sigh, "Well here's the thing, Velrik. I've been with so many boyfriends in my life, all of them that I'm willing to forget. Why? Because all they've looked at me as, as beauty, nothing a lot more than that. They...Always see me that way, and they usually sleep with me and then just...Up and leave, and go sleep with someone else. They care only about pleasure, than love. They always treat me like....I'm a whore. They were all the same, every last one of them."

Velrik's eyes widened at her confession and he growled, "That's ridiculous. If I was one of them, I wouldn't treat you that way. You're a kind, decent girl, with balls."

She giggled at the thoughts, "Thanks, but what happened to me back then, had happened. And...Sometimes I've put up with it, but then there are a lot of times that I can't take it anymore. I was miserable back then, dragon. Really miserable."

Velrik stared down at her in pity, and she sighed and went on, staring ahead at the lands past the cliff, "I sometimes wonder...Why me? Why do I always attract trouble? Why couldn't I have a nice, handsome human to marry, like everyone else? What was so different about me?" She wrapped her arms around herself, despite the wing around her, she felt chilled by her own past, "I also asked myself, what would she say to me? To comfort me about my problem. I never had anyone else to talk to, about my problem. Except for Bernard, but he was...Just a guy. I...Feel like I just wanted to talk to my mother, but she couldn't help me." She sighed again and turned her gaze to him, "Do you think I'm a whore, Velrik? Do you think that I am?"

He shook his head, "No. You look like Taylor, to me." Then he let out a sigh too, "And I'm so sorry for what happened to you. None of those things were supposed to happen to you. You deserve better. You deserve to have a male, who loves you and doesn't use you for pleasure." Taylor smiled at his words. Then he turned his eyes away from Taylor and looked at the sky, "Quite frankly...I never had much of a real mate myself."

She tilted her head, "Really? You...Never had a mate of your own?"

He shrugged his shoulders, not taking his eyes off the sky, "Only a few females, back in the clan. Usually dragons search for another one for pleasure. But there are a few life mates as well, just not a lot. I was...Just a different dragon back then. Always thought about pleasure, because I was just young. I was also curious about how mating works too." Then he had a haunting look on his face, "But...Laura changed something...Changed me. I became a decent dragon for her. I stopped always thinking with my balls, and just started thinking with my brain. I was showing her respect, and she was the one who changed me."

But then...He had a different look on his eyes...Something she had never seen before, "And...Something else changed within me too. And...I....Laura...." He shifted shyly a bit, and Taylor was a bit confused at his sudden change in attitude and expression. She'd never seen him act that way before.

After a few moments of silence, Taylor began to figure it out. Why he was acting shy all of a sudden. She blurted it out loud, "You loved her...Didn't you?" He looked down at her, didn't even hide the shock on his face. She reached for his scales and started petting him, "I think, I can understand why you loved her. She sounded like a decent person herself. And I can see now, why you've liked being with her so much, why you were so sad when she was gone....It's because you've loved her...Am I correct?"

Velrik closed his eyes and turned his head away from her. Taylor reassured him with a comforting smile, "Velrik, it's okay to tell me. I don't mind it." She shrugged her arms, "Well I know what you two are, but still...I don't mind that you've loved her. At least, just say it. I'm not going to turn my back on you, if that's why you're worried about."

Velrik finally opened his eyes and turned back to her, seeing her smile on her face. He let out a sigh and nodded, "....Yes...I have. I...I did love her." He got on all fours, and removed his wing off of Taylor. He whirled around, his tail swung over her head and he started to pace to the mouth of the cave behind them.

Taylor got up off the ground and called to him, "Velrik, wait."

He stopped with his back turned on her and he was letting out a breath, before he started to speak again, his voice carried to her, "The truth was...I never told her. I never told her how I've felt. Because...I was afraid she wouldn't speak to me again, if I did. I...Wanted to tell her so much, but I never had a chance."

Taylor walked up alongside his body and her way up in front of him, he hung his head and went on, "I wish I did. And that's what made the pain inside me hurt so much. Because I was scared to tell her. Because...She was the first thing I have ever loved, in my whole long life. She was the only thing. I've never felt love before, until she was in my life. Laura....I did picture Laura, as a dragoness. A beautiful dragoness, who'd make a lovely mate to me. And..." Velrik trailed off, when he shut his eyes as his sobs threaten to come out of him, "I've dreamed of mounting her. Breed her, until...She had my eggs." He took a deep breath, managing to stop himself from crying, and he eyed at Taylor, who stared back at him, "She was the one love that I've felt, and I never told her. Truthfully, I didn't care what she was. I have loved her. I loved Laura, so much. I never knew if she'd felt the same way, but I have. And...She's dead, and I didn't save her."

Taylor shook her head at those words, "Velrik, no."

But he went on, "You always have to protect someone you love, but I didn't protect her, Taylor. I...Didn't protect....My love. I was afraid of losing her, because of my love for her, and I've lost her anyway." His eyes were about to be filled with tears, as he was about to choke on a sob. HIs voice sounded like it was tightening, "I'm...Such a fool. If only I've told her...If only I've told her."

Taylor hugged his head tight, muttering, "Oh, Velrik." She held him, stroking the underside of his head, stroking it fondly. There were a few tears that have fallen from his face, but not a lot. He managed to control his tears and sobs shortly there after. Taylor however, didn't let him go. She kept comforting him.

Taylor felt so sorry for the black drake, whom she'd called friend. But she also loved him as well. That's when the feeling came back in her again, buzzing around in her stomach. And that's when a question came out of her mouth, "Velrik? ....For a long time, were you looking for a friend? Or...Were you looking for love?"

Velrik pulled his head out of her grasp and looked her dead in the eye. She smiled at him comfortingly. Showing him that it's okay to tell her the truth. Velrik took a deep breath and admitted his truth, "Partly looking for a friend, but also partly looking for love. And...Now after all these months...I don't know what I'm feeling anymore...About you. I'll always love Laura, but you...I don't know." Then he shook his head and hung his head, "No...That's not true. I do know." He looked at her eyes again, "I do know what I'm feeling about you. But...I just didn't know how to tell you about it."

Taylor was getting a feeling what he was wanting to say to her. And she grabbed his muzzle and looked straight at his eyes, "Tell me."

Velrik seemed hesitant at first, and then he took a deep breath, "I did care about you as my friend. You were the best friend, that I've wanted for a long time.. But lately...I've felt a different feeling. A feeling that I've felt toward Laura. And...I...I...." He trailed off, not saying another word.

That's when Taylor had had enough of holding back. She knows that he loves her, and so does she. She can't take it anymore. So with those thoughts, she said, "I do know, Velrik." And with that, she shut her eyes real tight, and pressed her lips against his snout for a kiss. His face went wide at what she just did. She only kissed him for a minute, until she pulled back and smiled at him, showing him the love deep in her eyes, "I love you, big guy. I have...For a while. And I don't want to hold it back anymore."

Velrik was about to speak, before she planted a finger to his muzzle, silencing him, "I know you're a dragon, but...There's something about you that warms my heart. You're a real gentleman, compared to the human males back at home. They've never treated me with kindness, like you are. You care about me, compared to them. You even saved my life! And not one guy would never do what you did. And I think, I know why I had a hard time finding a mate for my own, because I was supposed to be with you." She shook her head, "I know you love me, like I love you. I was feeling bothered by it, at first I did, but...I'm not now. You've hated me at first, but now after all these months...You've come to love me. And...I feel the same way too." And she'd meant every word. After he was trying to tell her his confession, and after she'd kissed him, she was not feeling afraid anymore. She was done feeling apprehensive now.

She'd loved him. For all the times she's known him, she'd loved him. And she's not letting what she is herself, stop her from loving a dragon. To her anyways...He's human. And he had never felt real love for years, never had that chance with Laura, and Taylor was going to give him real love. She said it again, "I love you, Velrik....I really love you." She was giving him the biggest smile she had.

Velrik stared at her with his jaw dropped for a minute. Then he shyly said, "I...Love you too, Taylor." He smiled, when he reciprocate her feelings, "I love you too." And with that statement, he pressed his snout to her mouth, opening his jaw to have his tongue enter her mouth. She gasped a bit when she felt his tongue hit her lips and she opened a bit herself, wanting to have the feeling of his slimy tongue enter hers. When his tongue went into her, and almost down her throat, she moaned. She held up her hand and began to caress his cheek when they were sharing their kiss. They were rubbing each others tongues, their kiss gaining a life of its own.

Finally they broke away, both of them blushing at what happened. Then they shared a giggle and Taylor kissed his nose, "Wow." She used her wrist to wipe Velrik's saliva off her mouth, "That was amazing." She was starting to kiss his cheek and his lower jaw, "That kiss felt real than any other kiss I've shared with another."

He chuckled and licked her nose, "Yeah, and this is the first kiss I ever had in my life." He shook his head a bit, while she still held onto him, "I did say that I was with a few females back then, but I never shared a kiss with any of them. You're the first one."

Taylor smiled brightly at him and gave his mouth another kiss, "That sounds special, getting your first kiss from a girl like me."

He nuzzled her cheek softly with his and giggled, "And I love it." He lowered his gaze to her chest, "You know something? ...I...Since we're both together now...Can we....You know....?" He bumped his snout to her chest, "Um...You know..."

Taylor's face blushed at what he was getting at. She knew what he wanted to try. But she was nervous.

She never did something very sexual with a dragon before. Then when she looked into the eyes of her love, she was starting to feel calm about the situation. She trusts him, like he trusts her. Perhaps, they can think of something. Taylor planed one more kiss on the nose and answered his stuttering question, "Yes."

That made his face draw back and he raised it above her, "Whoa, you're serious?" He blinked and started to laugh uncomfortably, "Um...You do know what I was asking, right? I mean...Do you know how...Big I am? I don't think it'll...Fit." He shook his head, "I mean, I want to try it, but...I don't want to hurt you."

She nodded slowly, "I know, and we'll think of something." She started to back away and beckoned him with her hand, giving him a seductive smile, "C'mon, handsome drake." She whirled around and took slow strides into the cave, swaying her hips back and forth with each step she took. Taylor looked over her shoulder and saw the dragon staring at her hips when she moved. She giggled and made another sway of her butt, "Do you like my hips, dragon?" Then she looked down and her face widened when she saw something big and red poking out between his legs. It's his dragonhood! From what she'd thought, he must've had been looking at her hips and having erotic thoughts about her that made it make an appearance. She muttered in shock, "Wow...Pretty much what I've imagined."

Velrik knew what she was staring at and talking about, and he laughed at her expression and statement, "Ah, been imagining how big my spear is, huh? I'm sure that you're impressed?"

She smiled and nodded up at him, "Pretty impressed."

He padded up and lowered his head to softly nuzzle her shoulder, "Thank you, my love." Then he started to make his way past her, his spear dangling when he walked on top of his furs. Sitting down on them with his tail curled around him. When Taylor looked at his cock sticking out of him, she blushed at the size of it. She giggled and slowly walked up to the furs and to him, reaching out to touch it with one hand. When she rubbed it, it sent a shiver through the dragon as it was sensitive. He let out a moan.

Taylor grinned in lust at the organ, "Does my touch arouse you?" She gave it a small squeeze, making him let out another loud moan, that vibrated from the cave walls, "Do you want to stick it in a willing female?" Then she was rubbing his eggs with her other hand, "Do you? Do you want this female?"

He groaned as she gripped him a bit, "Ohhh, yes." His wings fluttered on his back and he curled one of his paws inward. Then Taylor, to the drake's surprise, kissed his mating spear and some pleasure shot through his tool. He trilled at the small sensation.

Taylor pulled her face from it and backed away a bit from her lover. With a wicked smile upon her face, she started to take her clothes off slowly, while the dragon was watching her take them off. He did see her naked when they were swimming more than once, but this is a special moment for him and he wasn't about to miss it. When Taylor took off all her clothes, lastly being her panties, she tossed them to the side and planted her hands to her hips, slowly moving her naked form left and right, "I know you love the show."

He was staring at her breasts and at her spot between her legs. There wasn't any hair there. Velrik chuckled, "I would love to watch, but my spear is in need of pleasuring someone right now."

Taylor giggled at the thought and said, "Well, better get to pleasuring me." Then when she looked at his massive cock, a thought crossed her mind. Knowing that the thing's going to be inside her, she was feeling nervous. Nervous, indeed, "So uh...Have you thought about how you want to do this? Now I'm nervous, just like you are."

That's when Velrik started to droop his tongue out of his maw, "I think for starters, the only way I could think of making that hole of yours wet and slick, is my tongue."

Her heart quickened and she blushed at the thought, "I think, I know what you're getting at."

Then when he came at her with a fast stride, she yelped and fell to her back on the cave floor, looking up at him with a lot of anticipation. He loomed over her with his body and lowered his head to hers to give her a kiss. She didn't hesitate sharing another kiss with her scaly lover and she was kissing him back. Velrik only did it for a minute, before like fast as an arrow, he moved his head to her chest and started to lick one of her breasts, at her erect nipple to be precise. Taylor sucked in a breath, while he was leaving saliva on them. He actually curled his tongue around one of them and she let out a silent moan for him. Velrik chuckled and rose his snout over chest, announcing her this, "Get ready for my tongue, human." Then he backed away, and lowered his muzzle to her pussy. Taylor smiled and started to spread her legs, ready for his tongue to move past her entrance. He licked his nose and brought his snout to her spot. She let out a gasp and reached out to pet his forehead. She was breathing deeply, ready for that moment to come.

That's when Taylor felt something slick and slimy enter her, and she shut her eyes and sucked in a sharp breath. His tongue was in her and it sent up a lot of shivers of pleasure throughout her body. She tightened her legs around his face, not wanting him to pull out of her. She was gasping in pleasure, as his tongue licked and coated her tunnel walls with saliva. Taylor shut her eyes tight, the pleasure hitting her brain. She screamed when the slimy tongue hit deeper within her, "Oh, god!" She was grinding against his nose, it felt incredible to her.

Taylor arched her back and moaned loudly for him, "Velrik!" She pictured the tongue in her tunnel, licking her, making her clench around it, then as he was pulling it away a bit, he slicked it in her again, making her let out another cry of sheer bliss. Taylor reached out with both hands and gripped his horns, until her knuckles turned white, "Please, make me wet!" Taylor heard her dragon chuckle in his throat and sent the pink tongue deeper, making her arch her back again, screaming really loud. The dragon had his paw around her waist, holding her tight against him. She began to buck her hips softly into his snout. As he was bringing her to climax far quicker than she thought he would.

Then her body began to feel totally warm and she drew back her head and bellowed to the cave's ceiling, "I'm...Cumming!!!" Taylor let out a high pitched scream and she came on his nose, shooting juices from her tunnel and onto his muzzle. She was grinding her hips lightly against him while this was happening. Taylor removed her hands off his horns, and let out a whoosh of air. She laid down on her back, breathed in and out, taking a break from this. His tongue felt so incredible to her, that no human tongue would pleasure her like that. Now that she thinks about it, no man never used their tongue to lap at her clit.

Taylor exclaimed to Velrik with shock and bliss in her eyes, "Gods...What a tongue!" She let out a laugh, "I didn't think a dragon's tongue could be that pleasurable!"

Velrik lapped her tunnel entrance one more time, making her body quiver from that, "Hehheh, like my tongue so much, eh Taylor?"

Taylor laughed, "Do I? I love it! And I'd bet Laura would love it too, if she was here!"

Velrik remarked with a devious smile, "And she would be begging and moaning for my tongue to make her wet." Then he glanced at her slick hole now, "And speaking of slick, where were we?"

Taylor knew where he wanted to go next, and she rolled onto her hands and knees, since she fell off the furs, she was crawling back to them, "Let me lay on a comfortable spot, before you take me like a dragoness."

The black dragon nodded at the thought, when he was shifting around on the ground to follow her up to them, "Good idea, don't want to pound you on the hard ground." He watched her fall on her back again, only this time on the soft, comfortable furs. Then he was giggling at her.

Taylor moved her eyes to look at him, "What is it?" She giggled too, "My nakedness amuses you?"

He was moving over her slowly, aligning himself to mate her, while his human lover looked up at him, "Actually, the thought of mating a human is...A little funny to me. No one would never believe it. That me, a dragon, making a human his."

Taylor was snickering at the thought, "Not even Bernard would, if he found out. But...I doubt we'll tell anyone this."

He shook his head, "Wouldn't want to anyways." Then he lowered his head, looked her dead in the eye, and had an apprehensive look in his eyes. He said with a worried tone, "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean...If you die, because of me-"

She pressed her lips to his, shutting him up. Taylor nodded and said, "I'm sure. Just...Go easy on me. I want to be yours."

Velrik continued to look down and he nodded, knowing that she's dead serious about doing their first mating together and he trusts in her confidence. He gripped her side, as he positioned his dangling malehood, to her spot between her legs. She began to spread her legs, ready for him to do it. Velrik let out a sigh and muttered to himself, as he was pushing into her slick tunnel with a bit of ease, "Here....We...Go." He stopped, when he heard her let out a small cry of pain. Her face contorted. Velrik looked down with concern, "Taylor, are you...Alright?"

Taylor nodded profusely, "Just feeling a bit stretched." And she was right. She did feel a bit stretched by the big alien thing invading her tunnel. Despite that she was wet from her orgasm, that thing was still big for her little body. But she wasn't going to back down, when they've come this far now. It would take some adjustment for her and the dragon to get used to this. But she can feel that it won't take much. She begged, "Please, don't give up. If I'm feeling hurt, I'll tell you. Just...Keep going."

Velrik was still having a bit of apprehension, but he didn't pull out, and instead kept pushing his organ into her. She gritted her teeth, and Velrik gritted his jaws as he was feeling so much tightness from the human's breeding muscles. She really felt SO tight! He let out a whimper through his snout and stopped for a minute, for him and her. So they could get used to their union. He looked under him and much to his shock, about half of his shaft has entered in her. He wasn't all the way up to the hilt, but he thinks that it'll be as far as it'll go. Velrik let out a groan as her muscles tighten him again, "Ancestors, you feel so freakin tight."

Taylor despite her pain giggled and asked, "Tighter than the dragoness's you've been with?"

He let out a small weak laugh, "Can't compare them to you, you're more tighter." He looked down at her and asked, "Are you ready?" He lowered himself, as the bulk of his body laid down on her. Just to hold her down when he would start to mate her.

Taylor stretched her neck and kissed his scaled chest, "Take me." She wrapped her arms around his front legs, ready to brace for his first thrust.

He started to pull out of her, Taylor feeling him move out of her tunnel and she let out a whoosh of air, as his stiff organ was letting out a pressure from in her body. Velrik stopped before he could pull all of his cock out of her and then he took her with one thrust. Taylor scream reached up to his horned head, the scream mixed with pain and pleasure. Velrik didn't stop from that thrust and he pulled out and did another small, soft thrust. But she didn't cry out that time. She gritted her teeth, when he repeated the motion over and over again.

Velrik let out a croon, "Mwaaahhh, Taylor." Taylor was feeling very warm from his bulk pressed down on her, and him stuffing his malehood repeatedly in her. She was starting to sweat too. As soon as several thrusts have passed, she was starting to feel the pain go away, to be replaced by pleasure. She was loving it. Never before, had she was taken by something like a drake. Taylor sees that this is better than all the guys she was with. Each of them had sex with her, but comparing to them and Velrik, Velrik was so much better. She feels amazed by the power of his thrusts.

Velrik was taking her softly still, his shaft scrapping her walls and she clenched tightly around him. Taylor can feel that fire in here, that wants him to go faster with his humps, "Velrik...Please, go a bit faster. Take me harder." He obliged when he growled and didn't hesitate to go a bit faster for her. He began stuffing his titanic cock and pulling it out, and stuffing it back in. Taylor liked being filled by her proud drake. By her true love.

Taylor tried to arch her back as the sensations were shooting up her spine, but thanks to Velrik pinning her down with his large body, she couldn't move under him. He rolled his hips and shoved his cock into his lover again. He scrunched his face and snorted, flapping his wings in reflux to their passionate first mating, "Oh Taylor...I love you."

Taylor shouted when he filled her with his girth, "Aaah! I love you too!" She thought she'd felt his big cock in her stomach, but she wasn't sure. Her brain was focused on her scaly lover over her. She shouted him this, "Kiss me!" And he did, when he gave her a deep kiss, with his tongue entering her mouth. She moaned, when it went to the back of her throat. They were kissing still, when he started to mate her roughly. She wasn't feeling any pain, as she can take his mating tool more easily now. Velrik thumped his tail on the furs with each thrust he gave her.

Taylor shouted right at his gaze, when they've stopped kissing each other and she was rubbing his cheeks with her hands, "Please, don't stop! Fuck me!"

Velrik would give it to her, he was giving it to her hard. He rose his head above her and closed his eyes as pleasure was shooting through his loins. He hasn't felt that kind of pleasure for years. Not since he has mated those dragoness's, back in his clan. And he was mating a human, and it felt a bit more different to him, species wise. But Taylor's still a female and he was giving the female pleasure.

The drake flared his nostrils and flapped his wings again, more roughly he took her. Driving his hips hard and pulling fast out of her, and pushing his hood back into her. Taylor screamed for him when pleasure hit her body again. She was gripping his legs, until her hands turned white, "Gods in heaven, I love this!"

Velrik's muzzle showed a grin, he was happy he wasn't hurting her, and glad too. Things are better than he'd thought. He was giving it to her like a dragoness. Only this is the dragoness he loved. His warm breath washed over her face and neck, when he was dominating her. He pushed his hips back into her and he let out a moan to voice his pleasure. His tail was getting stiff behind him, his claws dugged deep into the furs beside Taylor.

Then he was starting to get a bit more erratic with his thrusts. The point of no return was on the way. Taylor was moaning, as he sped up his thrusts, let out a bestial growl. Taylor shouted again, "I'm cumming again!" And she did when she cried out her second orgasm and her wall were clenching so tightly around the dragon's girth, he growled in a bit of pain, but he didn't stop. He was going to give her his seed and make her his mate. Taylor was breathing heavily as the dragon's organ pulled out and went back in her at a fast pace. That is until he shoved himself into her one final time, and let out a roar in the cave. An earth shaking roar that hurt her ears and she shut her eyes tight, and screamed when he shoved that organ far within her depths.

Then she started to feel something else, other than his cock fill her. She can feel something wet and it was spurting in her. It was his seed, coming from his mighty spear. Taylor let out a gasp as he was filling her body with his essence. He jerked his tail upward with each shot of his load. Taylor moaned, loving the feeling of being filled by him. She was being filled to the brim, and she can feel that some of the cum had to go somewhere. She can feel some of it leak past her tunnel entrance. His spurts were almost slowing down and he looked down at her, not forgetting that the one he loved is under him. Taylor smiled up at him and he did too. HIs cock stopped filling her, as his shots came to a trickle. Now the deed was done. They were mates.

Velrik groaned and he tried to not fall on top of her, trying to not let his weight crush her gentle body. Taylor can see that his legs were trembling, since he was feeling tired and spent. She didn't even want to move after going through a tiresome thing. She loved it, but she was worn and spent as well. Taylor was breathing deeply, when he lowered his head to give her another kiss to her soft lips, letting out a lovable growl for her, "You're mine, my mate."

Taylor smiled still and reached up to scratch behind his ear, he leaned into her touch and purred for her. She giggled for him, repeating his words "My mate." The girl can feel his shaft finally started to soften and he pulled it out of her. She didn't feel like she was filled anymore and a pressure broke within her tunnel. Some more of his cum leaked out of her body. Velrik laid down on his stomach beside her, since he was tired from his first time with her still. Taylor raised her head off the furs and looked at herself and chuckled, "Wow...That's a lot of cum."

Velrik was chuckling after her, "What did you expect? That a dragon would probably have the same amount of cum, as a human male? Nah, I doubt it."

Taylor was laughing at his claim and she rolled onto her side, trying to press her naked body against his warm, scaly mates. She only moved her eyes to look at his eyes, "Velrik...I'm glad you kidnapped me. It turns out from that moment, it lead us to this."

Velrik looked down lovingly at her, "Me too." He turned his snout at the ceiling, like he was looking at the sky, "You know...I think your mother and Laura are happy that we've done this. Well, shocked at first, but nevertheless happy."

Taylor can imagine her mother's face and she laughed at the thought, "Yep, shocked, then happy." Then she reached to rub his belly, "I love you, Velrik. And...I'll never leave you."

Velrik started to curl himself protectively around his human mate and said, "I know you won't. And I love you too, Taylor." Then he let out a tongue curling yawn and laid his head down beside her. Taylor was basking in the warm as his wing covered her. She felt warm beneath it. She can see that her dragon's sleeping and soon she closed her eyes to sleep too. Feeling content with him. Not feeling any hurt at all, after their mating. She felt incredible, than hurt.

Taylor, before she'd met him, was always unlucky to find love with each man she was with back at home. But she finally has found her true love. One who truly respects her, and loves her for who she is. And it's Velrik. She'll never let him go...She won't.
