Royal Engagement
More Smut, More story. I hope you all enjoy. Please let me know if this is too long, or too short. I'm noticing the word count kind of getting away from me and I'm not sure if I'm waffling on or if it should be broken into smaller chunks.
Aurelia lay on her back panting with her eyes closed, her front paws tucked against her chest and he back legs stretched out alongside her tail. Ashan lay next to her and gave her a pat on her neck, earning him a happy warble as she caught her breath. Rolling onto his back, Ashan reached over and grabbed the book that was left for him by the physician. He gave the pages a quick skim and started at the beginning, The book outlined the life cycle of a dragon, going into detail about the courtship rituals, mating process and egg laying, ending with the hatching of baby dragons.
Ashan was reading the courtship chapter when he realized something. "So it says here, Wild drakes will often invite a dragoness back to their cave and provide gold and other metals for them to sleep together on, well before the dragoness goes into heat. Well damn, I guess we have been doing that for years now haven't we?" he said turning to her, She had her breathing under control but still had her eyes closed, a look of absolute bliss still on her face. He continued reading aloud "When a female has decided her mate she will often present him a gift, often food or gold or something shiny Wait, is that why you give me a scale?" he said coming to the realization suddenly. He rolled over to her and gently stroked her throat and jawline. "Sweaty, I'm still not sure if what we did was right, but I was really hoping just to get you some relief. I don't think I'm exactly "Mate" Material." She purred into his touch, gently snoozing in content.
Reading on it outlined the rest of the courtship, Sometimes males would test the females receptiveness by ignoring the female until she was desperate, that way ensuring that the mating was going to result in offspring. The whole mating cycle usually only lasted 2-3 days and occurred every few years which was why dragons are so rare, however once a pair had become mated they would often stay together forever, or until one of them died. Reading this he felt a wave of guilt and shame come over him, he didn't realize that by mating with her she would expect him to now be her mate forever. "Aurelia, I think we have made a mistake, I'm not a dragon, and one day you will find a big hansom dragon who can look after your needs, This was just meant to get you out of trouble." he said, he turned to her and could tell she was asleep on her back, her paws clenching every so often in a dream. He smiled, wondering what she was dreaming about. She let out little huffs in her sleep while also twitching her hips in a slight thrusting motion. Ashan felt his cheeks go red as he watched his pet enjoy her dream. Ashan skipped a few pages in the book until he found what he was looking for, Dragons would sometimes mate out of heat to bond or mend relationships between one another however when on heat, the dragons would mate frequently often multiple times a day, The book went into details of different positions that had been observed in wild dragons, Ashan was fascinated and couldn't help but start to feel aroused. "I'm not sure If I can keep up with you" he said, mostly to himself.
He kept reading, the sounds of her little huffs and growls causing him to smile. The book went on to detail the gestation period of a dragoness which could be many months before she would lay eggs, often one to four in a clutch. The time it takes for them to hatch would often vary depending on the environment however two to three years was somewhat normal. The book also went into details about how the diet may change on the dragoness while she is gravid but he skipped over those pages as he wouldn't need to know the details just yet.
Looking out the window he could tell that the sun was reaching its highest, with a sigh he closed the book and turned to his dragoness. His hands gently ran across her silver chest. "I think we need to start getting ready" he whispered. He watched as her eyes slowly opened, her purple eyes looking at him dreamily. "Come on, I need to get clean after that, And I don't think you should be out and about without a scrub either." He tried to avoid using the word "bath". He rolled out of bed and looked down at her, her sleek silver body contrasting beautifully on the gold sheets, her wings were neatly tucked against her sides, every part of her body looked like it was designed for speed, every leading edge of her body was gently curved, allowing the wind to race past her uninterrupted when she would fly. Her horns were gracefully swept back and followed her neckline when she was stretched out. He couldn't help but admire her daintily foot pads contrasted by her lethal talons, little pink beans more accustomed to walking on the plush carpets of the palace than the harsh desert. He noticed that her vent was still swollen, but also had their combined fluids caked on the edges of it. "Come on little one, let me get you cleaned up" She wiggled her body a bit but refused to get up, content to stay there in their nest. "Aurelia.... Come on" he urged, only to receive a huff from her. Her stubbornness could be unbearable sometimes, he came back over to the bed and knelt down beside her, her eyes looking at him dreamily. He wrapped his arms around her chest and pulled her close, She let out a happy warble as she felt his warm body on her cool scales, He then hauled her up as he tried to stand up from the bed, Although being as tall as a small pony at the shoulders, thanks to her hollow bones she was reasonably light, even still it was still an awkward struggle as he held her chest to his. She wrapped her hind paws around his thighs, pulling his groin close to hers. "Come on now, Someone needs a shower." he said as he clumsily made his way to the bathroom, Her wings wrapped tightly around him and she trilled happily at the close contact her mate was giving her. As he stepped into the shower he turned the taps on with one hand, his other cupping her rump to his groin, Aurelia let out a whine as the cold water washed down her body. "Oh you big baby, you will be fine." he scolded softly. He stood there in the water stream holding her close, looking up he could see her happy face looking down at him, her long neck putting her head a fair bit higher than his. She lowered her head down and gave him a soft lick on his forehead, He could feel her softly grinding her hips on his groin, his shaft already pressed against her. She trilled happily as she felt him shudder, his shaft twitching with the stimulation. "Aurelia, we need to get clean." He pleaded to her, although he also couldn't bring himself to put her down.
He held her gaze while she continued to gyrate on him, the warm water running off her jaw and down her neck making her scales shimmer like liquid silver. He adjusted his grip on her rump and she started pushing herself up and down his front, her back legs providing her the leverage she needed. Ashan could feel himself getting hard quickly. "We really don't have time" he said, trying to convince himself not to go through it. He was worried about leaving her behind in the palace while he went out to his appointments, however he could tell that she was going to need more relief before they went out if she was going to behave. She brought her head down and pushed her snout under his chin, giving a soft trill that echoed off the bathroom walls. She was starting to get heavy, but a part of him didn't want to put her down just yet. She ran her tongue up his adams apple and across his lips, he leaned in and kissed her throat. She slowly raised her head up, causing him to trace his kisses down her throat to her collar bone. "Fuck, you are beautiful" he said, his voice husky with desire. She gave a warble and started grinding her hips against him urgently.
"Fuck it" he said, he lifted her hips off him briefly allowing his member to spring forwards between them. It took a bit of rearranging of her rump to get her to the right height but he gasped as he felt his shaft suddenly plunge into her depts. She let out a low groan as she felt her walls spread by his hard shaft. She ground her hips up and down on him, his shaft deep and rubbing against sensitive areas of her wet tunnel. He spread his fingers wide on her rump, feeling the strong toned muscles under her soft scales, She let out a gasp as he started pulling her hips into his in quick sudden thrusts. Her wet walls clutching him as his shaft drove deeper into her again and again. She raised her head to the sky and let out a yowl, her rear legs wrapping tightly around his thighs as he moved inside her. His lips roamed over her throat and shoulder, kissing and nibbling everything he could reach, he could feel his arms getting tired and gave her a jostle to adjust his grip, causing him to drive suddenly inside her. Her yowl turned into a yelp and he looked up to see her eyes scrunched up in bliss. He felt her tail wrap around his ankle as he moved them closer to the corner of the shower. He pushed her body into the corner of the shower, allowing him to drive into her harder and faster. Her front paws wrapped around his head, pulling him into her neck. He could feel her sharp claws massage his scalp which drove him wild, He used his hands to hold her waist and started hammering away at her snatch, her yowl becoming staggered with each thrust he drove into her, Her wings flapped uselessly against the tiled shower as she was consumed by pleasure.
"You're such a good girl" he whispered between grunts, he was starting to lift her up and then let gravity pull her down his shaft before repeating. He could feel her walls clenching as her pleasure built steadily. Her hips started rolling into his with each thrust, remembering what he saw in the book he reached up with his mouth as best he could and held the side of her neck in his mouth, he gently applied some pressure and immediately felt her whole body shudder and become more urgent. He started using his knees to thrust up into her more firmly as he felt her walls starting to clench and milk his shaft. He could feel his own climax building quickly at the sounds she was making, her hot warm tunnel completely wet with excitement as he continued to drive into her relentlessly. He felt his arms getting tired but pushed through as best he could, his own pleasure rising to fever pitch as he wrapped his arms around her back, pining her wings to her sides and have her a few very hard thrusts, her back and hips slapping against the tiled wall as she shrilled out a cry of pleasure. He could feel her tunnel go firm and start clenching like mad as he felt her climax wash through her like a tidal wave. Giving a few last hard thrusts he felt himself explode inside her, his seed shooting deep into her body filling her with a sudden warmth, he gave her a few more thrusts to make sure he was fully in, her body milking every last drop. He let out a sigh and held her against the shower wall while they basked in their afterglow.
His shaft started to soften and he felt it slip out of her, a trail of their combined juices running down his leg. "Fuck, that was good" he said, she let out a happy warble. He slowly let go of her rump and she took the hint and lowered herself down his body, she stretched in the shower as best she could and nuzzled him in the chest. "Yes you were good too." he said. "We really need to get clean though" He grabbed the shower head and directed it over her and began to run his hands over her, she trilled happily at the contact and would rub her body into his hands, he grabbed a cloth from the side of the shower and ran it between her legs cleaning her scales from any evidence of their activities. She warbled happily as he did so and looked at him intently. "Don't go getting yourself worked up, we need to be presentable" he said as he made sure her chest and legs were clean too. He quickly gave himself a scrub with some scented soap while she sat in the shower watching him, He couldn't help but smile at her as she tracked his hands going over his body with her big purple eyes. He dried them both and got dressed, he was just putting the finishing touches on his outfit when he heard a knock at the door. "Your majesty, the carriage is ready for you" announced the palace hand from the other side of the door. Ashan opened it and stepped through, a shiny clean dragoness closely in tow.
"Thank-you, lets be on our way" Ashan said, to himself and Aurelia more than anyone else.
When he rode in a carriage Aurelia would often fly above, scouting ahead or watching for threats, When it was a particularly long trip she would often take breaks from flying by sitting on the top of the carriage, her silver and gold scales looking like part of the ornate details of the royal carriage. As they approached the carriage Ashan turned to the staff. "Unfortunately she is not feeling well and will ride inside with me" They nodded as he stepped inside, he gave her the command to come in and she sat on the bench seat across from him, her neck bent low due to the lack of headroom for her. "We cant have you getting the attention of another boy dragon can we now." he said as the carriage suddenly lurched forwards and they were then on their way.
The ride was uneventful, Ashan studied a scroll regarding the history of the monument he was expected to unveil while eating a light lunch, Aurelia lay on the bench seat across from him, her head on the window sill watching the world go by. Trumpets heralded their arrival and the Prince quickly straightened his clothes, He stepped out to be greeted by a large crowd all gathered to witness the event. Aurelia leapt out after him and took her place slightly behind him, her eyes already scanning the crowd for anyone who maybe up to no good. The prince made his way to the stage, taking time to shake guests hands as he walked down the carpet, the midday sun beating down on him and the crowd. He took his seat on the stage and the precession commenced. Aurelia sat close behind him for the entire event until it was his time to speak, He gave a pre-written speech about the importance of recognizing the history of their land and the achievements of the people, He had given hundreds of these and each one was only slightly different from the next. Eventually ending with a large statue being unveiled to the applause of his people. As he was leaving he noticed that there were some wild dragons flying across the city, This was not entirely unheard of however he thought it strange as often dragons preferred to bask in the midday sun rather than expend their energy. He stepped back up into the carriage and Aurelia quickly followed, this time sitting on the same bench as him. As they made their way to their next engagement she lay down across his lap, he gently stroked her neck and powerful wing muscles as he prepared for their next stop.
They made their way to a newer part of the kingdom, the street was full of brand new homes which had either just been completed or were in their final stages. The carriage stopped at one end of the estate and they both exited the carriage, A small crowd of more wealthy citizens had gathered and the Prince was greeted by the developer of the estate, he bowed respectfully and after some formal introductions led the Prince through the street showing off the design and functions of the estate. The Prince was polite and asked the right questions as he was led through the winding streets, Aurelia following closely behind him and the rest of his entourage with the carriage following up the rear.
"This estate will be a new gem in the kingdom Sire, with plenty of room for young families to grow and play, raising their children in a brave new future." the developer rambled, The Prince was paying attention, but couldn't help notice that the wild dragons from earlier were still in the air above them, circling like vultures. He glanced over at Aurelia and she too had noticed them. Her whole body seemed poised and ready to fly at a moments notice, He knew he had to do something. "Excuse me for a moment" he said to the developer and made his way to the head of his security detail.
"I believe those dragons are following us and Aurelia is not well, Can we put her back in the carriage?" He asked
"Of course Sire."
Ashan gave Aurelia the command to follow the security and they took her back to the carriage, she kept looking at him worriedly but did as instructed. Ashan heard the carriage door lock and he returned back to the developer and his aids.
"I'm sorry, my dragon is not well. Please continue" Ashan said to the developer, still keeping a close eye on the dragons which seemed to be drifting closer and lower to the ground. The tour continued for a while, the developer going into great detail about the efforts put into water retention and designing the buildings to capture as much natural light as possible while also keeping the heat out.
With a deafening roar one of the dragons dove down towards the group, it landed heavily on the ground snarling and bearing its teeth, The horses pulling the Royal carriage immediately took off down a side street. The Princes guard immediately pulled him back amongst their midst and as the developer and his aids scattered to the houses. The Prince could see the dragon's nostrils flaring as it inhaled deeply, its color a deep brown and its size intimidating, easily the size of a draft horse with a tail and neck tripling its overall length. Instead of horns it had a collection of long red quills coming from behind its head which shook and swayed as it moved. It's eyes were fixed on the entourage as it slowly stalked a circle around the group. The Princes guard all had their scimitars out, ready to lay down their lives for the Prince, they moved him closer and closer to the carriage making sure that they were between the Prince and the dragon at all times. The dragon snarled had huffed, pawing the ground and flashing its teeth at the group. As the party got closer to the carriage they could hear the frantic thrashings of Aurelia inside as she tried to break down the carriage. As soon as one of the guards unlocked the carriage door she smashed it open, leaping out above the guards and put herself between the dragon and them. Immediately the Prince followed her "Aurelia stop!" he shouted, This dragon had clearly grown up fighting and she was no match for his strength.
The dragon breathed deeply and shivered as the scent of her heat filled his nostrils his attention now focused on the little dragoness in front of him. Aurelia paused for a moment, realizing the mistake she made as Ashan caught up to her, his guards weary to come closer. The drake spread his wings and let out a snort, puffing himself and flashing his wings in an intricate way. Aurelia let out a serries of warbles and trills and the drake paused for a second. The drake then roared loudly, causing the prince to quickly cover his ears. The drake pawed the ground and raised his head high while still looking down, Ashan had remembered reading about this as part of the dragon courtship ritual, This was a challenge issued from this drake to another but there was none around.
"Aurelia, we need to go, come on. Back in the carriage now." he whispered to her coming up along side her. He could tell her whole body was poised and ready to strike. The dragon roared out another challenge and stepped forwards towards Aurelia and the prince. Aurelia looked at the prince and could see the concern in his eyes, She turned back to the drake and responded with a roar back, She stretched her wings out and tried to maker herself look bigger. Her response caused the Drake to pause confused. The prince had read that these challenges were often to the death, and it made no sense to fight the female that he was trying to claim. Aurelia took a step forwards, and then another closing the distance between her and the drake, The drake looked confused as this little female prowled up on him, her shoulder blades rolling under her scales and teeth bared ready to fight. Her scent was filling his mind causing him to pause and work out what this meant, he had fought many other drakes over females before, but he didn't want to hurt his prize. He swiped at her with a paw, not really putting his strength behind it as he was still torn between fighting and wanting to fuck the silver dragoness, She quickly darted under his swipe and launched herself into his armpit. As her teeth sunk in, the pain snapped him out of his stupor. He roared as he reared back and tried to swipe at her again but she had already darted away.
Ashan could only look on in fear as she leapt in and out of his reach, raking her claws through the softer areas of his hide and digging her teeth in to his joints. He roared as he got a swipe on her, sending her skidding across the street towards the Prince. She slid to a stop and then got to her feat shakily, one of her wings not quite folding right, She pawed the ground and roared back at the male. "Are you ok?" Ashan asked, resting a hand on her flank. She paid him no attention and launched herself at the drake once again, The drake was clearly put off by this feisty dragoness trying to kill him and quickly took to the skies. She tried to follow but her damaged wing was not cooperating and she landed heavily. Looking up at the drake leaving she let out a low growl.
The Prince ran over to her and put a hand around her shoulders, he could feel her body shaking as the adrenalin coursed her veins. "Easy girl, I've got you, Easy now." he said in a low voice trying to sooth her nerves. He pulled her close to him and once the drake was out of sight she breathed easier. He led her back to where some of the guards were bringing the carriage the horses still spooked but being led by their bridles.
"You have one impressive dragon Sire" the developer complemented he and his aids came out from behind the bushes.
"Thank-you, but unfortunately I think we will have to cut this tour short, she is hurt and I think its best I get her to our physician." The Prince explained as he guided her into the carriage.
"Of course your majesty, We understand" The developer bowed and stepped back from the carriage.
The carriage door swung closed and lurched off back towards the palace at speed. Ashan turned to his dragoness to inspect her for injuries. She was huddled on the bench seat shivering. "Easy girl, you did good" he said as he knelt down beside her. He stroked her face and chin trying to calm her and she pushed her head into his fingers, trilling happily.
"You know, when the physician said to keep you away from male dragons, I thought it was for your protection not theirs." he joked as he stroked down her neck. She arched her neck up into his touch and he continued to rub his fingers across her scales. He could feel her breathing calm down as he worked his way across her body. She held her hurt wing close to her body and flinched when he touched it. "Its ok girl, I'll let the nice doctor check that out" he said. He lifted her head up and sat down, he gently lowered her head down into his lap and stroked it as they hurried back to the palace.
When they arrived the Prince stepped out and then tried to help Aurelia out of the carriage, she was still a bit shaky on her feet but she stepped out without too much issue. Ashan contemplating carrying her, but given how tender her wings maybe he thought it best to let her slowly walk it. They took their time and reached the physician, She let out a happy warble as they entered and she collapsed onto her new favorite cushions.
"I heard you had a busy afternoon Sire" the Physician said as he knelt down next to the dragoness. She whined softly as he ran his fingers across her wing muscles and down her wing.
"You could say that, I have never seen two dragons fight before, they don't hold back do they?" Ashan remarked, he looked concerned at his dragoness and sat down on a cushion next to her head. "Will she be ok?"
"I think she will be fine, her wing is a little tender but nothing that a bit of rest wont hurt. I'm taking prescribing you both some time off, at least until her heat is over which should be the day after next if my maths is right" the physician said standing up from the pair.
"I'm fine though." The Prince started
"Yes Sire, but she fought that male because she thinks of you as a mate." The physician said, the Prince felt his heart stop, wondering how much the physician knew.
"I mean nothing about it, She has protected you her whole life and it looks like she has bonded strongly with you. I fear if you left her at the castle she would only break down the walls trying to get to you, and with her in heat, if you go galivanting off around the kingdom, you are only advertising her to other dragons." The physician said, leaning back against his table. "I think two days of bed rest for the both of you will do you good, being attacked by a dragon is no small feat young Prince. No one will think lesser of you"
The Prince sighed, he knew that the physician was right. The attack today could have gone a lot worse, and he couldn't think of attending engagements without Aurelia, The idea of locking her in the palace was just cruel given how violent she had tried to break the carriage door down.
"As always, Thank-you" the Prince said, he helped Aurelia get to her feet and led her out of the office. They made their way past the kitchen and he put in a request for food to be left outside his room, including some extra special treats for his dragoness. They made their way upstairs and he helped her up into the bed before collapsing next to her, still with his clothes on. She let out a little purr and he stroked her face and chin while she closed her eyes for a rest.
