Revakulgr was in a bind, quite literally. Things [i]had[/i] been going quite well on her journey until she had made a possibly fatal mistake. As a young adult dragon in her first season, it was traditional for her to visit with another family so as to court their young males and bring fresh genetics into her own line. Her second and third clutches would be claimed by sire and brothers respectively, and she'd be allowed to find her own mates after that, but the first clutch was both genetically and politically important. It was a sign of great respect and honor for her to be invited by a powerful red, and it was fully expected that she'd pick a permanent mate from the ranks of those who bred her this time around. The combined territories would be quite profitable. Unfortunately, she hadn't been quite as prepared as she should have been for the long flight. In the normal course of things, a hen in heat would feed to gorging and lie in pleasurable repose while the courting males took their turns, but there were two problems. Firstly, she had to fly for leagues, so gorging was out of the question or she'd never be able to get aloft. Secondly, she was a picky eater. She preferred nicely fat and juicy sheep or hogs, but only cow had been available before she left. So she'd had a few tender calves and little else.

So, of course, her stomach had set to complaining, and she hadn't been able to help herself when she espied an unattended sheepfold. Surely the farmers wouldn't miss a plump lamb or two, and she could make sure to compensate them on her way home. She was in a terrible hurry to get to her destination, and so very hungry... The lambs had been easy to snare, a pair of them stooped upon from on high, breaking their necks as she swooped past to carry them with her, leaving behind the bleating, panicked herd, but then she'd needed a place to devour them. It was [i]possible[/i] to eat on the wing, but rather messy at her age. She was only the size of a young horse herself, unable to swallow most prey whole, and needed to rend the flesh and bone away from the whole. So she'd chosen what appeared to be a sturdy nearby building, intending to dine and dash as quickly as possible, and hopefully before anyone noticed, but the building had not been [i]quite[/i] as sturdy as it appeared. It was a very large barn with a wide roof and a gentle slope, perfect to land on but not quite so perfect to support a few hundred pounds worth of young adult dragon.

It had taken her weight just long enough for her to realize that it wasn't going to, then plunged her downward into a snare of ropes. The barn was filled with hay and straw and various other stackable products, likely storage until they were needed or could be taken to market, and the ropes were attached to pulleys and crane arms, most probably to assist in shifting the bales from loft positions to the floor. If the fall and sudden tangling hadn't startled her into a panic, she might well have been able to extricate herself. Unfortunately, her wits had flown, and she had managed to get herself so ensnared that she wasn't sure she could get free even if she gnawed off a few limbs. She was well and truly caught, a severely humiliating event, and, what was worse, she had dropped the lambs. She dangled a dozen feet above the barn floor, her meals leaking blood across the straw-covered floor, her stomach growling, her sex burning, and her pride severely wounded. She very much hoped that whoever found her would agree to a sum of compensation to remain silent, else she might well end up relegated to finding a brown, or even a [i]green[/i], as a mate. She'd be disowned, surely.

"Well, now you're done kickin' up that ruckus, you ready to explain yourself there, dragon?" a voice demanded, and her head snapped around to find a human standing just inside a small door nearby.

She hadn't heard him enter in her struggles and the panting exhaustion that followed, but she supposed that she shouldn't have been surprised. She hadn't been particularly quiet, and it was only early evening. She burned even more furiously with shame and embarrassment, attempting to think up a plausible excuse, a threat, anything that might extricate her from the situation without further disgrace, but in the end, she could only hang her head in defeat.

"I'm in season and travelling to mate," she admitted. "I was hungry, and I fully intended to compensate you once I was returning home. I apologize, both for the lambs and for the damage. I... please help..."

The last was said in a pathetic whimper that made her cringe at her own sound, but she had nothing else that she could say. The human looked her over from snout to tail, then moved a bit further into the barn to examine between her legs, as if she were no more than a beast from his stock. Her flailing had managed to trap her tail pinned against her hindquarters, bent painfully to double up along her spine, and her vent was quite clearly visible, the outer folds swollen and the inner petals visible, glistening with the nectar that would draw prospective males to her. The farmer stroked at his chin as he contemplated her further, then smirked. It made her heart drop into her stomach. She did [i]not[/i] like that smirk.

"Well, lass, looks to me like you're in not much of a position to be makin' much in the way of bargains, but I'll lay a deal before you nonetheless. Five gold'd fix the roof, easy enough, and the lambs would've fetched me a good ten silver each. So, I'll let you down a bit, and you can have your fill o' them, but I'll be takin' my fill as well. Bring back the gold on your way home, and we'll call things even. Otherwise, I'll be spreadin' news around about how a little lassy managed to get herself tangled in my loft lines. I know you dragons hate having anything that'll hurt your pride spread about, and you don't look old enough to be able to burn the place down just yet. Surely, you'd've done that if you could already."

She processed that, then picked out the relevant points and had a question that she was certain she knew the answer to but required clarification. "Taking your fill?"

He chuckled and moved to unwind one of the ropes, letting out some slack so that she began to drop slightly, as he explained. "Why, sure enough, lass. If you're in need, then I might as well satisfy my own, and I'm sure that whatever boyo you snag should overwhelm my puny human seed, surely? So, I'll have myself a dip in your pond, and you just busy yourself stuffing your maw, aye?"

There were several points against her disagreeing. Firstly, she could very obviously not free herself without assistance. Secondly, he threatened embarrassment that would almost assuredly reach her family if she did not agree. Thirdly, he [i]was[/i] only requesting monetary compensation for the roof damage, and he could easily have demanded far more. Lastly, she was absolutely [i]starving[/i], and the lure of being allowed to feed was nearly enough to overwhelm any other concerns.

"Very well, human, but please let me down quickly..."

Again, she cringed at the pleading in her voice, but he did as she requested, loosing several other ropes and managing to maneuver them so that she was eventually able to set her claws against the earthen floor. But then he tied them off again, leaving her still heavily entangled. "Can't very well have you tryin' to run off and stiff me on the bill, eh?"

He chuckled at his own joke and gripped at the tented groin of his trousers to emphasize it. Revakulgr could only sigh and roll her eyes, but then the scent of blood and fresh meat drew her head back around to her delicious prey. She ignored the rustle of cloth as he moved up behind her, focusing on the flesh pinned beneath her foreclaws and the delicious flavor that coated her tongue as she tore into the tender meat. It could only have been better if it were still alive and bleating, hot with life, though it was still pleasantly warm enough. There was little worse than cold meat, in her opinion. She continued to feed through the scrape of wood across the ground, then snapped her head back to hiss at him when he set hands against her hips and she felt him pressing against her hindquarters. He just grinned at her and made a shooing gesture. She answered him with a growl, lapping at the blood that trailed from her jaws, and returned to her meal. He had no interest in stealing her prey, and she could barely feel the slight pressure and length of him, more a slightly ticklish annoyance, especially when accompanied by the rhythmic thumping of his hips against her.

Still, her body could tell that she was being mated, and with food so readily laid before her, it responded accordingly. She felt heat and moisture flooding her sex, and that increased her sensitivity, making his intrusion far more noticable. Yet, the bleeding, much needed meat held the main of her attention. She buried her snout in the second carcass, revelling in ripping its innards and chomping them down, slinging blood and viscera about as she wrenched free. And still he kept thrusting at her. Almost unconsciously, her own hips began to meet his in rhythm, rocking her slightly forward and back as he did his best to breed her. She ignored him and continued to feed, but only until she heard him grunt and felt him pull away. She snapped her head around to hiss at him once more, and he just waved, stepped into his trousers, and headed for the door.

That sparked a bit of panic that broke through her feeding haze, and she shook her head vigorously before protesting. "Wait! Aren't you going to set me free?"

"Ah, now, lass, I did say I'd be taking my [i]fill[/i] of you, didn't I? Don't you worry your pretty little head, though. I'll make sure to keep you fed. I did say you could have your fill as well. See you in the morning!"

The dragon blinked as he quietly shut and latched the door, then glanced back down at the two half-eaten lambs, feeling the dribble of mingled fluids trailing down her inner thighs. And all she could think was, [i]Well... I'm fucked...[/i]
