A Dragon's Tale Ch. 19

Ethan faltered.

His powerful rhythm seemed to hesitate. At the same time, Beth got a look of sublime happiness, followed by uncertainty, and then her eyes started to get watery. It was a subtle thing, like someone who'd recalled a painful memory but was otherwise happy.

"Beth, what's wrong?" She asked.

The blonde didn't reply. She got a sort of sad smile on her face that was colored by the joy she had obviously been feeling only moments ago.

"Beth, say something." Alana said, just before realizing that Ethan had completely stopped thrusting.

"Ethan?" She said, but he didn't respond so she tried telepathy. *Ethan, can you hear me?*

Her husband seemed to come to his senses. He too looked quite sad, though judging from their bond it was more sympathetic sadness than real sadness.

"Beth." He called softly to his second wife. The blonde teen sniffled once and then blinked a few times. She hung her head slightly and didn't look at him.

"Beth, look at me." Ethan said, and there was a slight timber in his voice that would brook no argument.

He had apparently pulled out of Beth because the blonde rolled, laying between the wood elf's legs with her back leaned up against Alana's front.

What was going on?

* * *

Ethan leaned forward, looking at Beth who wouldn't meet his eye. "Beth honey, look at me."

"Yes Dominus." She whispered, then slowly raised her eyes.

He could see her pain there. It was a buried, comfortable pain that she seemed entirely resigned to. It was like a burden you had carried for so long you almost didn't notice it anymore because you simply felt like it was a part of you. She looked sad, weary, and resigned, the joy on her face hadn't quite disappeared, but it was quite subdued. He could feel it coming from her.

That when he realized; he could feel her emotions again. They had rebonded, and it appeared the bond hadn't weakened at all since her demise. In fact, it somehow seemed to be stronger than before.

No, that wasn't quite right.

It felt like there had been something in the way before that wasn't in the way now. Regardless, he could tell exactly how she felt, and could finally see why she was so relentlessly down on herself today.

"Beth." He said, intentionally pushing his gaze deep into her soul as he had done with Taloni to help her get over her fear of heights. "Beth, youare good enough."

The tiny blonde teen stared at him, seemingly not understanding and not capable of accepting what he was saying.

*Ethan, what's going on?* Alana asked.

*I caught a glimpse of one of Beth's memories when we rebonded.* He explained. *She's dealing with some serious shit, and I'm trying to help her.*

His first wife nodded, then scooched down a bit and wrapped her arms around Beth in a very comforting way. The blonde was laying between the brunette's legs her back to the wood elf's front, and Ethan was on his knees, leaning over them both.

"Beth, look at me." He said, having lost her eyes when he answered Alana.

His downcast wife looked at him again. She had the expression of a hurt, scared, and lonely puppy. She looked like someone who wore the deep scar of having her heart torn out. He realized that's what had probably happened at the tea party with those girls.

Something like that could be devastating for any child, and much more so for a sensitive and kind soul like Beth. He was determined to do whatever he possibly could to rectify the situation. Fate or Providence had given him these dragon powers; he hoped they could make a difference.

He took a deep breath as he captured Beth's gaze, locking her eyes to his. He reached deep into his soul and summoned up all his willpower, putting it into his next words with the intent on pushing them so deeply into Beth's heart that she would never doubt herself again.

"Beth, youare good enough." He said. He could feel his dragon instincts rise up to put other compulsions there. However, with Alana and Beth both there, it was easily ignored.

Something shifted inside of Beth.

He felt it.

* * *

Beth couldn't decide if she felt emptier or fuller than she ever had before. She felt empty because there had been an enormous hole inside of her for her entire life. Now, for some reason, she felt like that hole was gone. She couldn't decide if she felt empty or full because of its absence.

She did feel better.

Suddenly, the gaping hole in her heart - that burden she'd carried for so long that she'd forgotten she was carrying it - suddenly it was lifted. Suddenly, she didn't have gnawing doubt in the back of her mind anymore. She didn't have that little voice inside of her that she'd never realized was always there; that little voice which constantly told her that she wasn't good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough; it was gone.

Completely gone.

In its place was...

Nothing?

Everything?

She wasn't sure, but her eyes had dried. She looked at her husband, suddenly no longer even vaguely worried about not being good enough for him. She could just 'be'.

It felt wonderful.

"I love you Dominus." She said, only realizing after she'd said it that he'd very definitely changed places in her mind. He wasn't just her husband anymore. He was her Dominus; her lord who cared deeply for her; the man to whom she was happy to belong.

"Dominus?" He looked confused.

She explained as she had with Alana earlier.

Alana chuckled. "Sir, master, and Dominus; it seems your wives all have pet names for you."

"True." He replied, though he didn't seem to know what to make of that. "So, you're okay?" He asked Beth.

"Yes Dominus." She nodded. "I'm okay thanks to you."

She really was. She couldn't believe she was, but she was. She felt like she had not only come back to life physically, but also mentally and emotionally as well. Laying there with her husband leaning over her and Alana holding her tenderly from behind, she felt happier than she had ever felt before.

Ethan broke out into a wide smile. "I'm glad."

"Me too." Beth beamed back at him. "But there's one way I could be better." She gave him a suggestive look, lifting her legs and wrapping them around his waist

He growled in lust, but didn't immediately reenter her. She glanced down and saw his cock was rapidly re-inflating, probably having gone down while he was taking care of her.

"I love you so much Dominus." She whispered.

"I love you too Beth." He said softly. Then with his cock at full size and hardness again, he moved forward.

The blonde teen sighed softly as his immense member spread her wide. She leaned back and completely relaxed letting the sensation of being filled by her husband wash over her.

It was incredible.

Behind her, Alana also sighed softly, and then began to gently slide her hands over the blonde's young body. Beth shivered at the dual stimulation, scarcely believing that such wonderful sensations were possible. She let out a long strangled moaned as Ethan bottomed out inside of her and she felt the head of his cock brush the entrance to her womb.

"Please Dominus, please may I carry your baby?" She whispered.

Ethan growled in lust, clearly very excited by the idea, but said. "Someday absolutely. I can't wait to see you swell with my child... but not now."

"Yes Dominus." She nodded, accepting his decision without reservation, though with a touch of disappointment.

"You've going to be a wonderful mother." Alana whispered into her ear. Then the wood elf reached her hands up and gently massaged the teen's breasts. "Just imagine nursing Ethan's children."

Beth moaned.

Ethan started pulling back, and when he had nearly pulled out he reversed course and started pushing slowly but powerfully into her. Beth could feel his tender strength as he filled her completely. He pushing into her, forcing his cock as deep inside of her as he possibly could. Over their bond she could feel his desire to impregnate her; to breed her.

She wrapped her arms around him just as her legs were wrapped around him. He supported himself with one arm and ran a finger tenderly across her cheek. She leaned into it as he thrust inside of her again.

"Soon." He promised. "The moment our child wouldn't be in danger, then I will give you one."

"I can't wait Dominus." She smiled.

Alana pulled Beth's hair to one side and started kissing her neck. Ethan continued slowly thrusting inside of her, mirroring Alana on the other side of her neck.

She was in heaven.

The two people in the world that she loved the most were lavishing attention on her in ways she didn't know were possible. She could feel her climax approaching, and quickly, but it felt different this time.

It wasn't like a damn of pleasure was about to burst. It was more like a raging river which was running powerfully, and growing stronger as it ran. It seemed to grow slowly and steadily to the point that she wasn't exactly sure when she started; it just spread through her whole body, suffusing and saturating every part of her being with a sensation the likes of which she'd never felt the like.

It wasn't just physical either. She could feel Ethan's love coming over their bond, and could feel the tender care that Alana took to pleasure her. It was more than just pleasurable; it was sublime; rapturous; an all-encompassing feeling of ecstasy and contentment that coursed through her body.

She could feel her entire body begin to tremble, and heard a few sounds escape her lips. She was being held suspended between the two people she loved most as they seemingly dedicated their hearts and souls into their tender ministrations on her.

As the rushing river hit its strongest point - like a damn bursting but longer and more sustained - she felt a burst of heat near the entrance to her womb as her beloved husband spent his seed inside of her. Moments later, she heard a few gentle sighs as Alana too seemed to join them in a sympathetic climax.

Ethan buried himself up to the hilt inside of her, and stayed there for a moment as he finished seeding her. She wished it would take root in the fertile fields of her womb, but also knew the baby would be in danger if he did so. She enjoyed imagining what it would be like to feel it for real though.

Above her, Ethan panted slightly.

She hadn't realized she'd closed her eyes, yet felt no desire to open them. Her beloved husband let himself rest on her a bit and she kept her arms wrapped around him, as Alana's arms were wrapped around her.

"Uh, can't breathe." Alana whispered from underneath them.

They both moved, Ethan first and he flopped down beside his first wife, resting from his exertions. Beth rolled and landed on his other side, a mirror image to Alana. Both women curled up against him, using his muscular chest for a pillow and placing their hands on his chest.

Alana smiled at Beth, and then gently interlocked her finger with the blonde teen's own fingers. Beth gave her a hand a little squeeze and then smiled at her. The wood elf smiled back, a sleepy-contented look on her face.

Ethan wrapped his arms around them both in a double snuggly-hug. "Have I ever told... told..." He yawed. "Have I ever told you two that I love you?"

Beth nodded, the side of her head moving on his scales. "Yes Dominus, but I wouldn't mind hearing it again."

"Neither would I." Alana mumbled sleepily.

"Alana, Beth; I love you both." He kissed each of them.

If Beth's heart had been any fuller, she felt like she would've died of happiness. Her fellow wife looked equally joyful.

"I love you too." Beth said.

"And me." The lovely wood elf said as she snuggled closer.

Beth felt a bit cold, so she reached over and grabbed one of the blankets that Jason had left. They spread it over the three of them, none moving quickly because they all seemed to be on the verge of sleep.

"Beth." Alana said once they were all covered and cozy.

"Yeah?"

"Can I give you a goodnight kiss?" The wood elf asked.

"I think I'd like that." The human teen replied with a smile.

The chocolate-haired brunette leaned forward as the blonde teen did, and they kissed. It was sensual but not sexual, loving but not romantic, and tender and intimate but not arousing.

It was perfect.

"Good night Beth." Alana said, her rich hazel eyes shining with happiness. "I'm so glad you're back."

"Me too." She said, then yawned. "Good night Alana."

The wood elf smiled, they both kissed Ethan, and then they both laid their heads down to sleep. Beth couldn't remember ever feeling this happy, this loved, or this content. She didn't think that anything could make it better, and then she noticed something.

Both women were snuggled up to Ethan, and he was holding them in return. But the blonde teen noticed that Alana had never let go of her hand. Their fingers were still intertwined in an affectionate way.

She sighed.

She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, still enjoying the simple sensation of breathing now that she was alive again. She exhaled slowly, savoring the sensation and relishing the closeness of the two people she loved most in the world. They loved her to, and both here holding her in their own way.

Life was good.

That was her last thought as she drifted to the most relaxed, content, and peaceful night's sleep of her entire life.
