last night with the dragon she loved.
At least, for
now.
They landed
in the grass in front of it and they surveyed the exterior of it together. It
was so dark. So lonely. The day Stacey had come here seemed like a far away
dream. So much had changed for her since then.
Now that Zane
had shifted back to his human form, he approached the tower and opened the
door. He put his hand to the candle near the wall, and it burned up a green
glow brightly.
The place was
trashed. Ransacked. Various objects were smashed and scattered around every
part of the floor. Zane seemed deeply troubled by the loss of these artifacts.
Stacey put a hand to his shoulder.
“It’s okay,”
he said. “I never expected to have any of this stuff back anyway.”
The glass
door opposite them was partially smashed. Behind the door the sofa was turned
over and the marble table with the fruit split in two. Stacey looked through
the panels to the tower’s aviary, but there were no birds to be seen.
Zane moved
round to put the couch in an upright position. “Come sit with me, Blossom,” he
said.
She complied
and he cradled her.
“Perhaps I
should see if I can fetch a dress from upstairs,” Zane remarked. “You are so
cold.”
“Not when I
have you to warm me,” Stacey said.
He stroked
her head. “You know I’m going to really miss you.”
“I’ll miss
you too,” Stacey said. “But at least you’ll have your Princess.”
“I don’t know
her.”
“You haven’t
known me for very long either.”
“What happens
between us, Blossom, never happens to me.”
“And you
still can’t think of a way we can stay together?”
“If Narses
wants his daughter as the Queen here, there is nothing I can do.”
“What if … He
didn’t want that. Or maybe she didn’t want that. Maybe you could do something
really gross when you see her and it would turn her off. So you wouldn’t have
to go through with it.”
“Narses would
just find another man to marry her then. And probably come after my head.”
“Right…”
“You want
something to hope for, don’t you?”
“Yes. Of
course I do.”
Zane fell
silent a moment.
“If I were to
find the true Horatio Hurux, and brought him before the other Dragon Masters,
then I wouldn’t have to marry her because I wouldn’t be king. He would be.”
“Why don’t
you do that then? Go and find him.”
“Hmm…”
Zane stood
up. “I’d have to find the Mage. Get the truth from him.”
“Now you’re
thinking!”
Zane smiled
at little. “Come here, Blossom.”
She stood up
from the couch and he wrapped his thick arms around her.
“I think I
see a plan now for how this is going to work.”
“That’s
wonderful,” Stacey beamed.
“Of course
it’s very dangerous. I wonder if I might begin it after you are sent back home.
That way at least if it didn’t work then I’d know you were safe.”
Stacey
lowered her eyebrows. She was less enthused with that proposition.
“What?”
“I want to be
near you,” Stacey said. “That’s the only way I know that I’m truly safe.”
Zane blinked.
“We should wait till tomorrow at least. Try to get some sleep in while we still
can.”
“You see?”
Stacey said. “It would have been so silly for me to put on a new dress.”
“Why is
that?”
“Because I
can’t wear it when we fuck, can I?”
Zane lowered
his eyes seductively. “You really know how to sweep a dragon of his feet.”
They both
laughed at his joke.
Then it was
time for sex.
CHAPTER TEN
Zane took hold of Stacey’s waist and
gently lifted her back onto the sofa. He ripped his shirt from his body whilst
she struggled with his pants. As soon as they were off and his penis was
exposed, she took hold of it in her hands and began to massage it back and
forth. By Zane’s numbed expression, Stacey could already tell he was enjoying
it.
For her, she
wanted the sex between them this time to be different. No problems with his ferocious
dragon popping
