Ellasandra:
Glaring at Rosy Jack, his snake sent chills up my spine. It wasn't that he freaked me out but his inky eyes kept boring a hole into my damn soul. Uncomfortable by how hard he was staring, my leg began to bounce up and down. What had possessed my husband to make him one of his own? Fireboy nudged my shoulders, his stern gaze telling me to talk to him. Did he think he could take my place as the lead reaper? My tail wagged with distrust, Fireboy nudging my shoulders once more. Shooting him a death glare, his brow only cocked in response as his hand gripped my leg with a purpose.
"What is your assistant's name?" I hissed with a snarl on my lips, the snake slithering over to me. Pausing in front of me, a sly voice caused my ears to pin back. Curling itself around my neck, he was clearly from the snake race of the reapers. Shuddering visibly, this didn't feel okay in my opinion. Fighting the urge to scream, the task was growing increasingly harder by the second.
"I am the great Rubios, his guardian and reaper's assistant." He hissed irritably, his eyes narrowing in my direction. "That being said, you should know that you are in a higher position than him with the whole Goddess of Death thing. I had him come to find you because the gods are going to be sending their disciples after you for breaking the rules. I don't mind meeting a rule breaker though. Take care of my Jacky boy and we won't have any problems." Stiffening in my seat, I heard him loud and clear. Slithering back to him, his scales scratched at my skin. Vera spun into the dining room, surprise rounding Rosy Jack's eyes at her sitting in his lap. Petting Rubios, the snake was unsure of what to do. All of us watched with curious expressions, Vera laughter twinkling in the air. Smiling warmly to myself, she saw past it all. Perhaps, I should do the same.
"You look really epic." She commented with her real smile, playing with the vine curling up his arm due to his stress. "I bet you can grow all kinds of flowers. For example, could you help grow the flowers to heal my mommy? She gets these migraines and passes out." Touched by her kindness, a tender blush rose to my cheeks. Growing a glowing lily in his palm, he dropped it silently into her palm. Many questions glittered in her eyes, his throat clearing.
"This is the Moon Lily. It maintains any curse and heals everything else." He informed her awkwardly, her smile putting him at a slight ease. "Would you like to learn more types of flowers when I am feeling up to it? Right now, I am a little exhausted." Leaping into my arms, Flickers came out with a bowl of cooked fish. Taking her spot next to me, the snake and her nodded once with acknowledgement of each other. Smothering Vera in kisses, her tail wagged with mine. The two were better friends than me, Phoenix releasing his grip on my leg.
"I am Ellasandra and I apologize for my jealousy." I choked out with regret, offering him my hand. "Can we start over again?" Shaking hands, a newfound respect was formed between us. Reapers had to stand by each other after all, his dragon tattoo stealing my attention again. Someone had picked up a disciple of their own, my annoyed expression met a nervous smile on Fireboy's face. None of us were innocent today, a pensive silence coming over the table. My thighs rubbed together, the memories of yesterday caused me space out for a minute. Sinking into the memory of him massaging my bump, his hand touching my thigh made me yelp adorably. Strange looks met us, embarrassment burned my cheeks. Excusing myself, I needed some space for a minute. Running into his mother, her gentle smile fell on me struggling to control my composure. Hiding her laugh behind her hand, her ivory robes hugged her perfect body. The scent of a man was all over her, her robe looking a little disheveled.
"I can distract Vera for a few minutes. Might I suggest you take a walk down to the bath house? You look like you could use a nice relaxing bath." She urged playfully, tucking a loose piece of hair behind her ears. "I did promise Vera some beach time today. Oh, Vera! Are you ready to go to the beach, my dear?" Running up to her, her slender hand lingered on my shoulder until they left me alone. Captain Vessel entered a few moments later, his navy wool blouse was just as disheveled. A wave of nausea hit me at what had occurred, my hand cupping my mouth. Grinning widely as he stepped in, another thought struck me. What if she could still get pregnant? My eyebrow twitched at the very thought, the corner of my mouth soon joining my eyebrow.
"Damn, she was fun." He commented under his breath, true love glistening in his eyes. "I am telling you now, Ellie. I plan on making that fiery woman my wife." Winking as he walked away, disgust wrinkled my nose. I didn't need to know, Fireboy spinning up to me with robes and towels on his arms. Hooking his elbow in mine, he whisked me out the front door. Marching me through the streets with vigor, my husband was on a mission. Someone wanted me and they wanted me now.
"I rented a private bath and I am not going to miss my chance to devour you, my little kitten." He gloated with a sly grin, my mind falling back on Vessel and his mother. "Why do you look so pale?" Pressing my lips into a thin line, he didn't need to know. Ruby flames whisked us from the island to a lava rock landscape crawling with dragons. Dread bubbled in my gut as an inky black dragon landed in front of me, the ground rumbling underneath him. Low growls rumbled in his throat, his giant claw picking me up. All the color left my face the moment he hung me upside down, a snarl twitching to life on my lips. Must everyone be so rude when first meeting me! Why would he want me anyway? Enough was enough!
"Put me down, you bastard!" I screamed in protest, his scarlet dragon eyes narrowing in my direction. Wicked laughter rumbled in his throat, black smoke curling from his mouth. Clammy sweat drenched my skin, my heart seeming to beat out of my chest. Fantastic, he couldn't be reasoned with. Annoyance mixed with fear, the combination threatening my composure.
"This is the Goddess of Death." His deep voice mused playfully, one raise of his claw forcing Fireboy to bow to him. "I have some beef with you. You transferred a soul against the rules we all made. People like you really get me steamed." Shaking my fear away, a burning fury glowed to life in my eyes. Folding my arms across my chest, his attitude was causing my temper to flare. How dare he question my motive! My mother deserved happiness and his crabby attitude wasn't going to change my damn mind.
"Who the fuck are you!" I retorted with a low growl in my throat, my patience wearing thin. "Do you mind releasing my husband?" Whipping me around , everything began to spin around me. Refusing to listen to me, he dangled me over a pool of molten lava. Confused by my confident grin on my defiant face. Look insane and perhaps he will let you go, I argued with myself. Nothing was said between us, the tension growing thicker between us.
"Like I said, I don't know who you are. I am an immortal, you giant lizard! You drop me into that, I can climb right back out." I continued bitterly, hating that I had to brag about immortality at this moment. A pensive expression dawned on his face, his eyes flitting around his realm. Tapping a claw on the biggest rock, his eager eyes fell back on me. Shit! What the fuck was going on in that fucking brain of his! First off, he stole my bath time with my husband and now he was going to force me to do something that I didn't want to do.
"Well then." He chuckled darkly, my ears pinning back. "I am Scampton, his God of Flames. Your flames must be from Hell. If you can beat me in a race, then I will respect you as my colleague. You can count me as an ally. If you lose, you get turned over to the other gods. Trust me. They aren't as nice." Letting a fury filled fine, he tossed me onto an emerald dragon with bright yellow dragon eyes. Whipping me around, my hand curled around his bright yellow horns. Taking off ahead of me, he had played me dirty. Cursing under my breath, I had no idea how to even fly this damn thing. Reapers were meant to stay on the ground, not flying high in the sky.
"Listen, whatever your name is." I uttered in a slight panic, letting out a tiny squeal. "I am kind of pregnant and I am pretty sure you want to kick his ass. Listen to me, damn it!" Stunned into behaving, white lightning crackled around the scales. Smiling crazily to myself, my words had actually worked. Dread built at what was about to occur, his words not easing my nerves.
"White Lightning is my name and winning my game. Hold on tight!" He announced proudly, taking off, his young dragon body whistling past Scampton. Gripping the base of his horn tightly, he knew the race course. Smiling nervously, this couldn't be happening. Shooting up into the sky, a scream burst from my lips. Crawling onto his crooked horn, my grip couldn't get any tighter. Scampton roared underneath us, a ball of white hot flames whistled by my head. Cursing under my breath, White Lightning paused in the air. Angling his nose, the last bit of the race was a skinny canyon with a flowing river of hot magma causing me to tremble harder. There was no way in hell that this was happening, my mind praying for a different outcome.
"You aren't seriously going to nosedive, are you?" I squeaked out with a nervous smile, his wicked grin giving me my answer. Hot air lashed at my cheeks the moment he began his descent, the two dragons twirling around each other. Fighting the urge to scream, my tail tucked in between my legs the moment White Lightning pulled ahead. Time slowed down, Phoenix waving up at me from his bowing position. Skidding to a rough stop, my body flipped through the air. Catching me in his paw, a wide grin grew on his eager face. Shaking in his paw, my ears pinned back at his clearly pleased expression. He may have been pleased but I was far from it. Low hisses rumbled in my throat, my patience having worn thin.
"I like you. Most of the other gods let go." He laughed heartily, Scampton landing gracefully inches from. Still shaking like a leaf, my muscles refused to move. Letting Phoenix out of his position, he ran up to White Lightning. Pounding fists, both of them let out a hearty laugh. Low growls rumbled in my throat, a loud hey burst from my lips. Leaping off of his claw, my legs felt like jello the moment I landed. Struggling to stand, Fireboy rushed over to me. Collapsing into his arms, this was something I never wanted to experience again. Nope, my interest in it was dead as the souls I gathered. Glancing at the spinning world around me, it took a couple of seconds for my vision to straighten out.
"I was going to join your side anyways but good show, Ellasandra." Scampton commented with a hearty laugh, my death glare falling on him. "You do have my utmost respect. Phoenix here used to ride White Lightning when his father visited. I have never seen a reaper before. You are an honorary dragon." My expression softened, pride swelling in Fireboy's eyes. Lifting me onto his shoulders, the other dragons roared to welcome me. Flashing my real smile, different types of flame shot into the sky. Pride glimmered in my eyes, the ride really wasn't feeling so bad now. White Lightning shot a ball of lightning into the sky, a strange warmth coming over me. White Lightning bounced over to me, his claw holding my hand. Chuckling lightly at the immense size difference, his respectful gaze met mine. Dragons were amazing, my fingers tracing his scales. The thickness was something to behold, our best armor not even coming close. His next words snapping me out of my endless train of thought, my heart skipping a beat.
"Become my master." He begged with his head bowed, my boots scraping the hard rock as I leapt down. "No one has ever spoken words of encouragement to me before. You chose not to scream when I took my nosedive. I would be honored to serve you." Fireboy nudged my shoulder, his hand lifting up my arm. Confusion dawned on my face, his warm smile relaxed my fraying nerves. As nice as that seemed, I wouldn't know what to do with him. If my previous show meant anything, I would never be good enough to ride him honorably.
"I will train you to ride a dragon. Trust me when I say this. When a dragon chooses a master, they can't get you off of their mind. We can even get you a saddle." He urged lovingly, my heart fluttering away. "It is the biggest honor for one to choose you. Besides, how many people can say they have a dragon? All you have to do is touch the spot between his horns." Glancing over at Scampton, the final call fell upon him. Nodding once, his scales felt smooth underneath my palm. A blast of energy blew my hair back as a cat sitting on a dragon appeared on my palm. The energy died down, our eternal bond had been formed. Damn, this felt nice. Raising his head, his rough tongue licked my face. Hugging him awkwardly, he slid me onto his back. Placing my husband onto his back, a tender blush rose to my cheeks at the gentle way he sat me down on the base of his neck. Guiding my hands to the base of his horns, he twisted my hair into a simple bun. Tying with the piece of string he always carried, my breath hitched at him holding my hands. This merry misadventure had become all that much better, the pure joy on my husband's face making it all worth it.
"Tilt his head back slightly for him to take off. Don't worry, I won't let you fall." He promised warmly, this time feeling less nerve wracking. Tilting his head back, he took off. My loose strands whipped around in the wind, my new friend leveling out. Fireboy helped me to my feet, the view was breathtaking. A deep red painted the landscape, small gems glinted in the light of the various oranges and reds of the twisting magma rivers. Wishing that this moment would never end, the other dragons flew underneath us. Making it all the more magical, flames lit up the sky in gorgeous patterns. When would the show end?
"This is amazing." I gasped in childlike wonder, my eyes falling on his freedom filled expression. This was his happy place, my genuine smile warming up my face. Helping me sit back down, his lesson had me flying a dragon pretty decently. A lump formed in my throat, his lesson on landing was coming up. Shoot! Could a reaper land properly? Sinking into my internal downward spiral, his voice brought me back.
"You did great." Fireby exclaimed with pride glistening in his eyes, his hands correcting the position of mine. "Let him do most of the work. Angle his head like this." Moving my hands, time stopped. His breath hitched with mine, our hearts were all we could hear. The hot air lashing at my face broke the tender moment, neither of us understanding what just happened. Landing gracefully, he helped me off. Sliding his hand to the waist, he lifted up my chin with his finger. Kissing me hungrily, my body arched towards him. Scarlet painted my cheeks, this kiss feeling a bit hotter than usual. Summoning a circle underneath us, the dark lava rocks faded to the beach of the island. White Lightning ran into the large cave, his snores soon sounding like thunder. Pinning me to the smoothest rock, his fingers danced up my thigh. Sliding his fingers into me, his next words made my moans louder. Must he always be so freaking attractive?
"It turned me on to see you riding a dragon today. You did so well." He growled huskily into my ears, his stiff cock rubbing against me. "Shall I take my little dragon rider right here?" Biting my lips, a lust filled yes poured from my lips. Stepping back, he left me to suffer in the pleasurable state he left me in. Unbuttoning his buttons slowly, short gasps poured from my lips as my body only grew hotter. Rubbing my swollen clit, his name escaped my lips several times. His pants hit the sand with a soft thud, his steady hands ripping off my dress. Kissing me roughly, his fangs sank into my bottom lips. Arching my body towards him, his tongue licking up my blood off seductively. Brushing his lips against the nape of my neck, his palms massaged my bump. Bending me over the nearest rock, his name burst from my lips the moment he jammed himself in. Every wild buck had my claws digging into the rock, one of his hands stroking my tail. Whimpering in pure ecstasy, that action had my knees nearly buckling. Letting out a purr, a wicked bout of laughter exploded from his lips. Stroking it harder, the corner of my lips twitched uncontrollably. Pulling out, his strong arms lifted me up. Sitting my quivering body at the edge of the rock, his stiff cock waited impatiently for me. Spreading my legs apart, he slid his thick girth into me sensually. Having his abs rub against my bump sent waves of pleasure through me, my tail wagging with vigor. Taking me off the rock, he pinned my back against the rock. Snaking my arms around his neck, our hips danced to the same rhythm. Crying out both of each other's names, our speed picked up. My walls kept hugging his throbbing cock tighter, and tighter. Holding me down, his hot seed filled me up. Collapsing into his arms, we both struggled to catch our breath. Basking in the post sex glow, a new level of relaxation coming over me. Purring in pure bliss, all of the stress melted away.
"You are really something, Ellie." He panted gruffly, setting me down. Tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, voices echoed down the beach. Getting dressed in record time, we shook the sand out of our pants as we hid in between the rocks. His mother and Vessel came into view, the two of them couldn't keep their hands off of each other. Gagging silently next to me, I didn't mean for him to find out this way. Sneaking into the cave, I tapped on White Lightning's scales. Lifting up his head groggily, a loving gaze fell upon me. Pointing up towards the mansion, his scales scraped against each other as he rose to his feet. Sneaking out when they weren't looking, he scooped us up. Taking off silently, he landed in the courtyard. Laying right down, he settled back into his nap. Entering in through the back door, Vera and Tiger ran up to us. Rosy Jack waved at me with a bright smile, his foot digging at the floor. A lunch waited for us, Vera dragging me to our seats. Wiggling into hers, she pushed a glowing cup of tea in my direction.
"I figured out a way to make it into tea. I diluted it enough so you won't pass out. Drink it daily and you should be as great as ever." She chirped cheerfully, watching me take a sip. Surprised by the sweet taste, my gentle smile only made her grin grow wider. Ruffling the top of her head, she accepted the sandwich I gave her. How could she be so sweet with what had happened to her?
"You did wonderful, my little puppy." I complimented her with a blithe chuckle, kissing the top of her head. "Thank you very much. Let's eat." Looking around the table, I couldn't help but feel blessed at what I had. Please universe, grant me a bit more peace.
