Dragonborn Rising Ch. 50

Returning to the world of the living, we made haste leaving the castle, thankful that it was dark upon arriving outside, so after rowing across the river, I could put on my own hood to protect me from the sun. Serana was immediately concerned as I obviously didn't know all the dangers. I said we should make it to Riften as soon as possible. I would enter Whiterun under cover of darkness, grab the Scroll from Breezehome quickly, but we'd avoid population centres for our own safety.

We chose to travel at night. Serana understood my caution. I was rather well known and if people realised what I was, it would end very badly. Getting into Whiterun wasn't too difficult, as I knew of a hidden entrance, avoiding the patrols as I made my way to Breezehome. It seemed quiet but when I headed upstairs, Aela was fast asleep in the main bedroom. I tried to grab the Scroll as quietly as possible, but she woke up as I was leaving.

"Ragnar?" she asked sleepily.

"Got back to sleep, Aela," I whispered.

"I haven't seen you in ages."

I shushed here. "Please, Aela. Go back to sleep. I was never here."

"What? Ragnar, what's wrong?"

"If I turn around, you'll freak out. Please, just... trust me on this."

I heard light footsteps and a gentle hand on my shoulder. "Ragnar, what did you do?"

I sighed. "I didn't want you to see, Aela," I said softly, before slowly turning around, my head lowered. I lifted it slowly so she could see. "I had to do it to help Serana."

"You're a... a vampire...?" I heard the disgust in her voice.

"There's a cure, Aela. But I needed the Scroll. There's more to this than you could possibly imagine."

She nodded. "Then you should go."

I turned and left immediately. There was no point staying. I heard the tone but the look on her face said everything. She could accept Serana being a vampire but there's no doubt her opinion of me changed in an instant. I would have to be cured before even thinking of returning.

Returning to Fort Dawnguard took a little longer than usual because we travelled at night and generally avoided major routes, but I really should have thought about how they'd react upon returning and I was a vampire. Isran freaked out. I mean properly freaked out, and I found myself surrounded quite quickly by a dozen swords, ready to cut me down. Luckily, having both Scrolls in our possession, willing to hand them over, we managed to explain everything that happened since leaving. He was sceptical about the whole 'needing to be a vampire' thing, but I assured him I would seek out a cure. He didn't know anything about that, and said that while still being a vampire, the fort would be off-limits for me. He didn't count Serana as he gave less than a shit about her.

Still, with the Scrolls, we would have been able to make our next move after the reading. Unfortunately, Dexion had blinded himself in his haste to assist us earlier. But all was not bad news, as he at least knew how to help us going forward. We would have to find an ancient glade and it would be there that I could read the Scrolls and discover what we needed to do next. With that information, Isran pretty much told me to piss off until I was cured.

Thankfully, Sorine and Gunmar both stepped forward and were able to tell me what I needed to do. "There is an elf by the name of Falion. He lives in Morthal. Speak to him. He'll be able to help you," Sorine explained.

"Thanks." Turning to Serana, I said with a sigh, "Guess we're camping out again."

"More time alone with you isn't a bad thing, Ragnar."

Heading back out, we mounted our horses and took off immediately. Serana understood that I wanted to be cured immediately, and I wasn't dumb enough to suggest she get cured as well. Whether she was happy or not as a vampire wasn't something I should involve myself in. That was a decision she would make for herself.

We left our horses outside Morthal and made our way in by darkness, avoiding patrols until arriving at Falion's house on the edge of town. Knocking on his door, he was startled to be greeted by two vampires. Quickly explaining how I was and what I wanted, he immediately agreed to help us without delay.

He led us into the middle of the nearby forest towards what he called a summoning circle. Ordering me to stand in the middle of the circle, he warned me that what was about to happen would be painful but that I would be 'clean' come the end of it. Raising his hands into the air, he began to chant:

"I call upon Oblivion realms. The home of those who are not our ancestors. Answer my plea!

As in death there is new life, in Oblivion there is a beginning for that which has ended.

I call forth that power! Accept the soul that we offer!

As the sun ends the night, end the darkness of this soul, return life to the creature you see before you!"

I cried out in pain. Actually, pain doesn't even begin to describe what happened, quickly falling to my knees before I passed out. I'm not sure how long I slept for, but I was gently shaken awake, seeing Serana looked at me with concern. I simply reached up and brought her face close to mine to kiss her. "I could get used to wake up like that," I whispered. That simply earned another of those beautiful smiles.

Helping me to my feet, Falion simply stated the ritual was complete and I was human once again. He then offered the same service to Serana whenever she was ready. She didn't say anything, looking at me as if waiting for me to say something. I shrugged. "It's your choice, Serana. I certainly won't force you to do anything."

Now cured, we immediately made our way towards the glade Dexion mentioned. I'll admit to having a spring in my step, checking to see that I did have a pulse, Serana adding when she held my hand that it was warm once again. We headed south towards Falkreath, finding the position of the glade thanks to the information provided by Dexion and others. Tying up our horses' upside, the way into the glade was a narrow passage, but upon exiting, I heard the intake of breath from Serana.

"Wow. Look at this place. No one's been here in centuries. I doubt there's any other place like it in Skyrim. It's beautiful."

She looked at me, an enormous smile on her face, grabbing my hand as she led me down into the glade itself. The colours on show were a kaleidoscope. She was right, it was utterly beautiful, but also incredibly peaceful. Coming to a stop and closing my eyes, you could only hear the water running nearby, perhaps a bird or two chirping, maybe an insect, but that was about it.

Any idea of just getting on with it ended when we noticed the thermal pools, and there was no doubt the water would be very warm. "I've never had the opportunity to bathe in such waters. Have you?"

"Once or twice. Definitely worthwhile."

"Can we do it now?"

"I'm in no rush to leave."

I was surprised that she immediately started to disrobe, quickly standing before me in nothing but her underwear. Without her boots on, she was a little shorter than me, and I just watched as she dipped a foot into the water. "Oh my, that's so warm, Ragnar!" she stated excitedly, watching as she eventually lowered her entire body in, going so far as to duck her head under. When she reappeared, hair slicked back and looking at me, there was definitely a reaction. "Going to join me?"

I fell over in my haste to undress, earning a giggle from Serana, before I quickly joined her in the water. We managed to find somewhere to sit, relaxing back against the side, Serana immediately leaning against me, placing a hand on my chest. "Well, the water is warm and now you are too."

"Certainly is relaxing."

I'm not sure how long we sat back in the water, my arm wrapped around Serana, but she eventually moved, slinging a leg over me as she sat on my lap. She just looked at me in silence for a few seconds before lowering her lips to mine, and the kiss was immediately full of passion and... need. Running my hands up and down her back in return, she would definitely have felt the reaction of my body, but when she did, she kept kissing me but couldn't help smile.

Breaking the kiss, her face close to mine, she whispered, "Ragnar, I want this. I want you."

"I can grab the rugs from the horses."

"Grab everything. We'll stay here for a while."

I got up and ran so fast, I'm sure I heard her giggle, grabbing everything I could think of before making my way back. I placed the furs down on the ground near the water before helping Serana out. "Take everything off," she asked.

Taking off her bra, I'll admit my hands were shaking slightly as I didn't want to mess this up at all. Once her breasts were freed, I had a look. Her nipples were hard and looked bright pink against her pale skin. I teased her by leaning down, taking one in my mouth. She gasped when I did that. "Oh," she breathed, "Oh my..."

Moving back up, I kissed her again as I helped take off her panties, feeling her step out of them, running my hands down her back before gently grabbing her arse. She smiled as I kissed her, pressing her body into mine, gasping again when she felt my cock press against her. I was surprised when she helped take off my underwear without hesitation, so the next time she pressed against me, it was the real thing. We both took a step back. Serana had seen me naked before, but never in a situation like this. As for Serana, she was absolutely gorgeous. I drank her body in. She had some fur above her sex, neater than I expected. She was slim but her breasts were bigger than I imagined. Her skin was practically unblemished. A goddess.

Grabbing her hand, I laid her down on the furs before I rested above her, giving her a kiss. "Would you like to know what I'm going to do?" She smiled and nodded. "First, I'm going to kiss every inch of your body." She couldn't help giggle. "Then I'm going to pleasure you with my mouth. A cruder way is to say I'm going to eat your pussy, Serana."

"Oh..."

"Once I've made you cum a couple of times, we can make love the rest of our time here." Giving her a gentle kiss, I added, "If at any time you feel uncomfortable, tell me, and I'll stop."

"I won't..."

I kissed her again. "Serana, this is a big step. I know why you want to do this with me."

"I love you," she whispered.

"And I love you." The smile returned warmed my heart more than I could have imagined.

She ran her hand until it rested on the back of my head. "You are my first, Ragnar. My first love. And my first... real partner. After today, when I close my eyes, I will only think of you."

"I hope so."

"You've helped mend my heart, Ragnar. Now I will give you mine if you give me yours."

"Absolutely."

I kissed her softly, immediately turning more passionate, earning a moan once I broke it and moved down her body. And I didn't lie. I kissed her all over, earning plenty of giggles as I went so far as to kiss things like her fingers. Kissing down her body, she would occasionally moan or gasp, having not been touched in such a way ever. I avoided her sex, heartened to see she was incredibly wet already, teasing her as I kissed her upper thighs, almost making her beg me to touch her.

"Ragnar," she breathed, and I knew she was enjoying every second.

Gently spreading her legs, she met my eyes and returned a shy grin. When I lowered my head and tasted her, she gasped loudly as I gently started to pleasure her. She was utterly turned on my now, and I felt harder than I had in my life. Keeping her legs spread, I was soon tonguing her depths, feeling one of her hands gently rest on my head as she started to move her body to what I was doing.

"Oh gods," she cried softly, "Ragnar, it's so... so good..."

"I want you to cum for me, Serana."

"I can't remember the last time..."

I'm sure she'd only ever cum from pleasing herself. And I'll admit I was now desperate to make her cum. Not for me, but for her, so she could finally understand how enjoyable sex could be between two people, and that I would do anything to please her. Mouth now clasped to her pussy, I was teasing her relentlessly and switched it up a gear by starting to tease her clit. That immediately sent her wild, hearing her cry out as she almost couldn't cope.

"Ragnar," she choked out, and I knew it was going to be huge, and she was going to cry. I didn't mind that, feeling her hand now grab my hair. "Oh Ragnar, keep going."

I kept going until she had an orgasm. It was likely the first one she'd ever experienced with another person. And I kept going, which did surprise her, hearing her choke back a sob as she begged me to keep going. "I want another one like that."

Lifting her body up a little, I readjusted so our eyes could now meet. The love, lust and desire in hers drove me wild in return, upping the tempo of what I was doing to her. Her taste was like nothing else I'd had. I could have done it every minute for the rest of my life. I let go of her legs as she placed them on my shoulders, as she started to grind against my face. She came again quite quickly, this time her legs squeezing my head a little bit. Then she had to cry enough as I lowered her to the ground, gesturing towards me to hold her as she had a little cry on my shoulder.

"Gods, I definitely love you now," she whispered.

"You're just saying that because I made you cum."

She giggled again. "First man to ever do that." She paused before adding quietly, "First and last."

"That's it then?"

"Ragnar, I love you, and I say that knowing your entire life. I know Mirabelle is thinking lifelong. I don't know about the other two, but I'm with Mirabelle on this. I don't want anyone else. I know that already. I knew before you just did that to me."

I kissed her as I shuffled slightly, placing my cock at her entrance. I heard her take an intake of breath, meeting her eyes. "Ragnar, I wanted to do this while a vampire because I wanted to be sure. But... Once we've dealt with my father, I'll think about getting a cure."

"You will? It's your choice but I love you as you are. I don't love you expecting you to change."

She kissed me before nodding, the signal I wanted. Slowly and carefully, I slid my cock inside her, stopping every so often as she adapted to my size. Her hands were running up and down my back, her lips not letting go of mine as we kissed, and I eventually started to gently thrust, not giving her my whole length yet. When she moaned into my mouth, and I felt her smile again, I knew memories of the past would slowly dim with each time we made love.

She gasped loudly when I buried myself completely, stopping and both of us looking down. "You're inside me, Ragnar," she whispered.

"Gods, you feel wonderful, Serana."

That made her giggle again. I was enjoying that sound more and more each time. "You feel... enormous, Ragnar, but also... It's like I was made for you."

Grabbing her legs, I placed her feet just above my butt, making her groan as the angle changed. "Oh gods," she whimpered, "Oh gods, how does that..." She trailed off and kissed me hard. "Make love to me, Ragnar. I need to feel you... I need you to make me yours."

I knew what she meant, so started to gently thrust into her. She moaned and whimpered as I did, no doubt feeling a thousand different things, and I could see the emotion in her eyes and on her face. I just gazed into her eyes constantly, watching for any negative reaction, but the near constant smile on her face, the constant affection she showed, the fact her hands never left my body, the feeling that she squeezed my cock inside her, everything proved to me that she loved and enjoyed every second.

Being as turned on as I was, the fact I lasted five minutes made me feel pretty damned good, and I had to warn her I was going to cum myself. She just kissed me, nodding again, feeling her legs tighten around me. I barely had to pick up the tempo as I felt the approach, only breaking it to tell her I loved her.

That made her smirk. "You're just saying that because you're about to cum inside me."

"First time of many, I hope."

"Today or forever?"

"Both!"

That made her giggle, leaning down to kiss her before I had to stop and groan, gently burying my cock as I came hard. It was the sort of toe-curling, mind-clearing orgasm I had often enjoyed with Muiri and Mirabelle, the sort that expressed the love I felt for them. The fact I now experienced the same euphoric high with Serana told me everything I needed to know about how I felt about her. Serana simply wrapped her arms and legs around me, holding me tight to her body.

"Good memories now," she whispered.

"And we'll make many more going forward," I added softly.

I was still rock hard as always and she groaned slightly when I pulled, lying on my side next to her and pulling her against my body. She wiggled her butt against me as I held her. "No going back now, Ragnar," she warned with humour.

I just kissed her neck, feeling her move her head slightly as I gently bit down. That made her giggle then gasp as she definitely liked that. "I'm going to learn everything about your body, Serana. Every little zone that produces noises like that."

"I love the sound of that, Ragnar."

We lay in silence for a little while before she turned around and gently pushed me onto my back. Without a word, she straddled my lap, feeling her pussy rest against my cock. "I remember watching Mirabelle and this is what I wanted to do most of all, Ragnar."

"I'll admit I've often thought about this too."

She lifted herself up, grabbing the base of my cock and placing it at her entrance. She gasped as the head of my cock popped inside her again, moaning a few times as she slowly lowered herself down until my cock was inside her completely. She looked down before looking at me, an enormous grin on her face. "Oh Ragnar, I could definitely do this all the time," she stated softly.

Leaning forward, she kissed me as I adjusted my legs, running my hands down her back, resting one on her arse as I caressed her face with the other. "You are beautiful," I whispered. Her lower lip trembled. "What?" I asked softly.

"The way you look at me, Ragnar. What you tell me. How you make me feel. For so long, I thought... I was..." I gently brought her down to kiss me as she slowly started to ride me. "I never thought I'd ever experience this," she added.

We didn't share many words for the next few minutes, Serana slowly riding my cock, enjoying every second. She never picked up a fast tempo and I didn't want her too, one hand still on her arse, perhaps caressing her back, the other still gently stroking her face or around her hair. The way she looked at me in return, I'd never felt my heart swell with such feelings of love. Only with Muiri and Mirabelle had I felt anything as close. That's nothing against Astrid, Aela or any other woman I've been with, but I knew over the years, those were the two I loved the most. And now Serana? Well, I think I might have loved her the most. It was a close thing between the three. I'd never tell them that, of course.

"Ragnar!" she cried, starting to ride me a little faster, and I knew she was already closing in on another orgasm. I don't think it was just me. I didn't have a magic dick. No, it was definitely the feelings she was experiencing at the same time. For the first time in her life, she was being intimate with someone she loved and with someone who loved her back.

"Cum for me, Serana. Then keep going," I gently urged.

"I'll never want to stop if it's always this good."

"I hope it gets better."

She leaned down to kiss me, running my other hand down to her butt, gently grabbing and starting to thrust into her. That made her gasp loudly, whimpering into my mouth before needing to break the kiss. "Oh gods," she moaned.

"Cum for me, Serana," I whispered.

Her eyes looked into mine and I knew she was close, the way her mouth opened as she released what sounded like a guttural groan, feeling her pussy grip my cock tightly as she started to cum. She kept on riding me and I kept on thrusting into her, Serana now resting on her forearms as I moved a hand up and down her back. "Keep going?" I asked.
