The Witch and the Dragon Ch. 05

He began undoing the closure to his Master Guardian's uniform. Her wide golden eyes were riveted to his actions, making him ache in anticipation.

Going right for the kill, Zak-o?—Remi snickered in his mind.

Zak clenched his teeth. Get out of my head, Red.

But Remi wasn't the only presence he felt...or heard.

Zak, she's really innocent—Anniel's concern-laced voice chimed in next, making his hands freeze. Why don't you let her stay with me and we can have some girl-talk.

Alluna's big eyes rose to his. No. He wanted to be the one to teach her about the male form and all the beautiful things that can exist between a man and a woman.

Like fucking—Remi laughed.

Zak frowned. I'm not going to fuck her.

Yet—Seth added dryly.

Zak snorted in irritation. Now he understood why Remi hated their mental link. For once, he wanted a little privacy.

Alluna was biting her lip, her gaze flickering from his face to his open fly. He could feel the full length of his cock—pulsing against the material of his pants. He was hard. Very hard, and the girl had never seen a male in full aching arousal. Zak closed his eyes. She'd never seen a male close up—period. The minute he lowered his pants and his unruly dick sprang out, she'd scream her pretty little head off and would never allow him near her.

Maybe Anniel was right and she needed a little girl talk first?

Every dominant instinct in him rebelled against letting another take over. She needed to trust him, depend on him for everything.

He turned and lowered his pants to his knees at the same time he sank back down on the bed. He turned to look at her over his shoulder.

"I'm going to lie next to you, Alluna. I want you to look your fill. Touch and learn me. Do you understand me?"

Her lip quivered. "Y-yes."

"I do not want you to be afraid of me. I will not hurt you."

He waited until she nodded and then slowly lowered back.

Her eyes followed his movement until the slippery feel of the coverlet cushioned his back. He bent his arms over his head as he took a deep breath. Alluna stared in fascination at the way his chest expanded, lower to the movement of his abs pulling in before relaxing with his exhale, and then her gaze widened as she looked down at his erection.

For a moment, she looked as though she'd bolt, but he remained relaxed and just smiled at her.

"See? It's not a snake. It's just flesh and blood like the rest of me."

She sat up, her face coming closer to his rigid flesh. He bit the insides of his cheeks in an attempt to keep from laughing as she frowned at his cock. "It's like...like a tail, but in the front," she finally said.

Zak winced at Remi's bark of laughter in his head. The weredragon's ribald laughter set Zak's teeth on edge. In retaliation, Zak visualized Remien strapped to his favorite spanking bench being tickled until he cried and begged for mercy. The red-haired weredragon shut up quickly. Zak couldn't help grinning when his mental presence disappeared.

He'd been so distracted with his visualization he hadn't realized Alluna reached for him until her fingers wrapped firmly around his cock, jolting him back to the situation at hand.

Zak hissed, his body tensing. Alluna snatched her hand away as if stung.

"You told me to touch you," she admonished with her clenched fist pressed against her chest.

His reaction must have startled her.

"So why are you not obeying me?" he frowned back, but kept his voice soft.

Her eyes widened slightly. "B-but... you... Does it... Did it hurt when I touched you?"

Zak licked his lips. "No, Alluna," he replied, his voice thick with arousal. "It felt good. The feel of your soft hand on my cock excites me."

The slight shift of one brow higher than the other was evidence that she felt perplexed by his words. She didn't understand. He wondered if she'd ever felt aroused; awakened with a pleasant tingle between her thighs.

"Have you ever touched yourself?"

"What do you mean? Like when I bathe?"

"Well, kind of like when you bathe. Do you ever touch yourself other than when you're bathing?"

"I... uh... um..." She chewed her lower lip, her brows furrowing in thought.

Without seeming to notice, she crossed her arms over her breasts and clamped her thighs shut. Her body made her uncomfortable.

Zak frowned. That would not do.

Reaching out, he grasped her hand gently, and brought it back to his cock. "Touch me, Alluna. Explore me."

Delicate fingers curled around his rigid penis. They stroked him lightly from tip to root, her eyes darting warily to his for a moment. He had to stifle a groan when her searching fingers found and cupped his balls.

"What is this?"

Zak swallowed before taking a deep breath. "It's called various things. The correct term would be testes. All male humanoids have them."

Alluna frowned, tentatively lifting them, testing their weight. Zak wanted to spread his thighs, arch his back and demand she suck...control, Zak-o—he chided himself mentally.

"They feel cool to the touch," she murmured rolling them softly in her palm. "What is it for?"

Zak remembered her mother's cruel description of copulation to the girl. Alluna needed to know the truth.

"I produce sperm there."

Alluna's gaze flew up to his, confusion shining in their molten depths.

"My seed. My testes make sperm. When I'm very...excited, my seed erupts," Zak touched the tip of his penis, "from here."

Her frown deepened. "How awful that sounds."

Zak grinned. No, Alluna. It's very pleasurable for me."

"So whenever you're...excited, your seed erupts?"

"If I want it to, yes."

Her eyes stared back down at his erection and a little shudder of pleasure made it twitch when she licked her lips.

"Can I see?" she asked looking at him wide eyed.

Zak swallowed—God.

Clearing his throat, he extended his hand. "Give me your hand."

Alluna stared into those fiery blue eyes a few seconds before she placed her hand into his. He lifted it to his mouth. She gasped at the jolt of pleasure that ran through her body when he licked her palm, his hot tongue running up the center only to engulf her middle finger. She felt the tugging sensation of his tongue between her legs. How strange.

"I've got a better idea," his dark velvety voice crooned after releasing her glistening finger from between his lush lips. "Lie back."

Alluna felt hesitant when he rose up on one elbow. His sheer size dwarfed her completely.

"You don't trust me?" One golden brow lifted.

She opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. Only a moment ago she felt he would not hurt her, but still... she was scared.

"Trust me, my love."

The soft request, had something within her melting, making her roll onto her back.

His eyes grew darker, lashes lowering a bit. "Put your hands above your head and keep them there." Alluna blinked up at him in confusion. "If you lower your hands I will stop what I am doing. I want you to obey me. Do you understand me, Alluna?"

Obey? She swallowed and nodded. His brows furrowed a bit and she felt compelled to answer him verbally. "Yes."

He smiled. "Good girl."

A shiver went through her at his approval.

Alluna's eyes flew wide when he came over her. Had he not held his body up on his forearms and knees, she was almost sure he could have crushed her beneath him. The muscles in his arms and chest bulged with power as his hair cascaded to one side in a fall of golden waves to pool on the bed beside her face.

"First, I'm going to teach you the proper way of kissing between a man and a woman."

Alluna watched as his mouth lowered toward hers.

The brush of his lips across hers felt petal soft. His mouth learned the shape of hers with slow strokes before nipping playfully first at her upper lip and then her lower one. Her heart pounded against her ribs as she shifted her thighs together. The hot throb at the juncture of her legs made her squirm more and arch toward him. When she felt the tip of his cock prod her thigh, she gasped. It was so close to her...vagina.

The feel of his tongue swiping over her lips and delving within had her startling again. He tasted her as though she were exotic fruit. It was strange, but the feel of that warm tongue slithering around between her lips made her toes curl.

Tentatively, she allowed her own tongue to slither out and play with his. He groaned deep in his throat and deepened his penetration, tasting her fully.

"Did you know, Alluna," he whispered huskily against her mouth, "in ancient times a man would prove his compatibility with a female through a kiss." Again, his tongue delved into her mouth caressing every corner. It made her belly quiver. "A woman could test a man's virility through his taste."

Zak tasted...exotic, delicious, sweet, and potent, with a hint of fire. Alluna had the strangest urge to wrap her thighs around him and rub her aching breasts against the hard plains of his.

"Do you like how I taste, Alluna?"

She tried to answer, but only a moan escaped her mouth as he sucked and bit at her lips before sliding his tongue against her again.

She wanted to bury her fingers in his hair and pull him closer and began to lower her hands.

He stiffened against her and backed away a bit. His body was tense as he stared at her with an unyielding expression. He would stop. She knew he would and she did not want him to.

With a whimper, she stretched her arms over her head again and gripped the silky coverlet.

"Good girl," he whispered before devouring her mouth again.

He continued to kiss her until she was panting and writhing beneath him, wanting...needing something. She didn't have a clue what it could be, but her entire body ached for some type of release.

His mouth finally left hers, and nipped and licked across her jaw to her ear, where it swirled naughtily in her ear. Alluna bit her lip and tried to lower her hands, feeling that the stimulation was too much, but his hands flew up to grip her wrists in a solid grip.

"No," he breathed in her ear. "I've not had my fill of you yet. If you touch me, I won't be able to hold back from..." He stopped abruptly, just panting in her ear.

Alluna blinked. From what? She bit her lip with a whimper when he trailed wet kisses down her throat. She arched her back and pulled softly at her bound wrists. She was completely helpless beneath him, under his complete control. The thought had her heart thudding faster.

He dragged her hands down to either side of her face as he lowered himself to her breasts. Her eyes and mouth gaped when he slid his tongue across one swollen mound to flick several times over her tight nipple, the sensation jolting between her legs. Alluna cried out and arched beneath him in surprise. Sapphire eye flicked up to capture her in their fiery blue glow. A low growl, of an animalistic beastly nature emanated from his throat.

Alluna opened her mouth unsure of what to say, but the minute his lips pursed over her tight bud and sucked deep and hard on her, all that came from her open mouth was a low keening cry.

His sucked on her nipple hard, using his teeth and tongue to torment the beaded tip. When she thought she couldn't take any more, he trailed a wet path to begin to torment the other one. Zak didn't stop until they were both red, wet, and erect.

"Beautiful," he murmured. "So ripe and full. Your breasts were made to nourish your babies when you have them, Alluna."

"W-what?" She couldn't quite catch her breath.

"Babies, Alluna. A woman's breasts fill with milk to feed her young."

She swallowed and was about to ask him what he meant but he'd lowered that mouth of his and continued his slow torture of wet kisses and bites down her body.

Letting go of her wrists, he nudged her legs apart with his knees.

Alluna felt lost in a sea of sensation as he tongued his way down, closer and closer to the juncture of her thighs.

"Your babies will grow in here," He growled nipping her quivering abdomen. His words brought back the strange dream she'd had of something alive wriggling inside her. A baby?

"Please. I don't understand what this baby is?"

"Alluna, we were all babies once. It's how a humanoid starts his or her life. You are born from your mother as a baby, nourished by her breasts until you grow."

The thought of something alive inside her made her feel fear. "How does the baby get inside there? How does it get out?"

Zak's hands pulled her legs apart as he settled between them. "Through here, Alluna. Through your vagina."

She opened her mouth to voice another question. It was soon forgotten when he pressed his mouth against her. The first swipe of his tongue between her legs set her body afire. Of its own accord, her body arched and bucked against his face. Alluna's hands flew over her head to clutch the coverlet as she writhed and moaned in pleasure. She didn't understand what was happening to her, it was as if a coil were tightening up within her, the cries issuing from her open mouth was something she could not stop. The pleasure built up to unbearable. She tightened her fingers on the coverlet, her body arching, and she took in a deep gasping breath, which held, her eyes wide as something...something was going to happen and the intensity of it scared Alluna.

And then it happened—there was no holding the series of shudders that broke over her body as she let out a piercing scream. Surely she was dying. She felt herself convulse and contort as the intense feeling she couldn't name ripped through her body. She was sobbing, tears streaming down the sides of her face as jolt after jolt left her weak and trembling.

Zak's hands released her legs and gripped her waist. He pulled her down to him and wrapped his arms around her. Alluna shuddered and cried against him, unsure why. All she knew was that she needed to cling to him and cry until she was so spent she fell into a deep sleep surrounded by his warmth. Safe. At last.

Zak stared in wonder at the girl. She'd come apart like a dream under his control. Her musky scent and taste still lingered all over his face. He licked his lips, savoring the evidence of her pleasure and pressed her closer to him. Mine.

His hand came up to wipe away the wetness on her cheeks. She made a whimpering sound and snuggled against his caress, like a kitten seeking solace.

Every protective, dominant instinct within him growled possessively. Unfortunately, the scent of fire and cinnamon made him stiffen. Alluna and he were no longer alone in his quarters.

"Just to let you know, Seth is already raising stink about the LOS."

Zak felt himself bristle at Remi's voice. His gums throbbed and he couldn't help the unholy growl that erupted from his chest as he looked over his should to glare at Remi.

The red-haired weredragon merely crossed his arms over his chest and cocked his head to the side. "Easy, bro. I've got my own mate."

Shock tore through Zak when he felt more than just his pseudo vampire fangs in his mouth.

"Fuck," he hissed sitting up and rolling his shoulders. His back burned, especially between his shoulder blades.

"You know," Remi drawled, "when you find your true mate you won't be able to control shifting. Anything will trigger it. Anger, jealousy..." Remi's eyes swept over Alluna's naked form, making Zak's hackles rise behind his neck again. "Getting over excited when you fuck," he finished looking back into Zak's eyes. "It's why I preferred to take a submissive role in sex. Rowie's the only one who can make my dragon roll over and wag its tail."

Zak scoffed. "I have my animalistic side well under control."

Remi snorted. "It's raging to come out, Zak."

Zak shook his head turning away from Remi's piercing green eyes. "No."

But Remi would not be ignored. He got right into Zak's face, poking a finger into his chest. "You can't hide from what you are."

Zak slapped his hand away with a sneer. "I'm a man."

Remi frowned. "You're a weredragon."

Zak clenched his fists. "Get out."

The idiot ignored him.

"You've gotta do it, Zak. You can't keep your beast locked away like that."

Zak gritted his teeth, the feel of his skin itching ominously. "Out," he hissed.

"If you don't let it out once in a while, the day it does take over, it might never let you be human again."

"Never. I will never allow myself to turn into that...monster."

Remi flinched, a look of hurt crossing his face before anger tightened his lips. "We're not monsters, Zak. I'm damn proud of what I am," he finished, jerking his thumb at himself as he puffed out his chest.

He hadn't meant to hurt Remi. Remi grew up knowing what he was and his family accepted him. It was a different story for Zak. He opened his mouth, unsure of how to apologize to the man he loved like a brother, but Remi disappeared with his usual flash of red-gold fire.

Zak blew out a puff of breath as he hung his head, casting the beautiful girl in his bed a sideways glance.

What would she think of him if she knew he was part dragon? Would she be terrified? Repulsed?

He buried his face in his hands with a groan. The answer scared him shitless, but any relationship had to be built on truth and trust.

Relationship. Was this what he really wanted? To have someone of his own? A mate? Could he settle on just one female for the rest of his existence when he was already so used to engaging in orgies, fucking until he literally dropped from exhaustion? He frowned at his still erect cock as a single clear bead of precum slid down its head.

Zak's gaze slid back to the sleeping girl by his side. Her nose was still red from crying and a little snotty, she had a bit of an over bite, making her upper lip appear fuller. She made the perfect picture of innocence with her hand curled under her chin. Jet-black hair spilled across the coverlet like a glossy flow of satin, so pretty he had to stroke it.

Something twisted in Zak's chest. He leaned toward her and summoned his hand held hygiene unit. Waving the egg shaped hygiene unit over her countenance, he cleaned up the watery goo from her adorable face.

Yes, he wanted this—a woman of his own, someone to love and protect, to build a family with. He smiled as he pictured lot's of little ones scampering around causing mischief.

"God, I've truly lost my mind," he sighed.

The girl was so innocent she didn't even know what a baby was. H needed to go slowly, even though he had the feeling he was setting himself up for the biggest heartbreak of his entire existence if she ultimately rejected him.
