The Knight and his Dragon

Leaning over the woman whom he's always loved, Xavior continues to gently, yet ever so passionately kiss Danielle, who's barely holding herself up against their bed. Steamy it gets as Xavior breaks the kiss and trails down his girlfriend's jawline and soon her neck. Small gasps escape from Danielle's lips as she finds herself pulling her head back for his kisses to continue. Sweet and gentle, he enchants her. Xavior's hands slither up her leg and to her ass, giving it a small squeeze which causes a small moan from the latter. As his hand crawls up her blouse, Danielle snaps out of it, literally. Her eyes, which were closed, snap open and she struggles to find the words.

"N-No.. stop," she manages to whimper out as she pushes herself away and nearly on top of the pillows.

"Okay, okay.." Xavior pulls himself away and sits up on the bed. He watches as his girlfriend stares at the patterns on the blanket before shutting her eyes tight. Her breathing quickens as she seems to have a debate over keeping her eyes closed or not. She clutches her knees to her chest and mumbles to herself as she's looking around frantically yet some how silently.

"Shh, remember where you are. You're okay, you're safe," Xavior whispers as he slowly slides beside Danielle and holds her close in his arms. His hands are at the speed of a snail as he manages to wrap around the small woman. Automatically, Danielle leans into Xavior and hides her face into his chest.

"I'm sorry.. I can't," she said, her voice barely auditable.

"I know, it's okay.." Xavior rubs her back carefully as he begin to rock himself and Danielle.

Those words, how they ache Danielle and force her to clench onto her lover's clothes. "I hate that.. I hate how you know it's going to happen.."

"But it's understandable-"

"I can't give you sex, Xavior! For many reasons in fact! I'm hurt and I can't do it, for God and myself." Danielle pushes herself away and steps out of their bed as she begins to pace. "I can't provide for you.."

"You provide more than you know-" Xavior tried to speak but Danielle had been over the edge for too long.

"No I don't! I can't provide for you what you want!" Her voice begun to shake as she turned to face Xavior.

"Look, I can wait till after marriage, my love. It's fine." Xavior slowly approaches Danielle and holds her arms gently in his. A long pause surround the bedroom as Danielle looks down at the floor.

"But it isn't.. You want sex. I do too. I just can't." Danielle's breathing quickens as she pull away once more away. "I can't do what other girls do! I can't have sex every other day with some guy! I'm not petty! I don't do social media! I don't wear make up everyday! I'm not like Madison who can do all that."

"Why are you comparing yourself to her, Danielle? You know I only want you." Xavier remains in his spot as his voice and eyes trail Danielle.

"Because I can't help it! I hear what she says and I know what she wants and can do! Her words haunt me and I can't think straight!" Danielle's fingers draw into her hair, instantly yanking her hair strands.

"What does she say, my love? What scares you?" Xavior advances steadily to Danielle and holds her close as he gently pulls her hands away from her raven colored hair. Xavior rubs her back slowly and sways the two softly.

"She said that she could have stolen you at any time she wanted.. I'm not enough for you. You need a girl like Madison and not me. You need a princess, not a dragon." Danielle keeps her head down as tears become visible in her eyes and stream down her red cheeks.

"Don't compare yourself to other girls."

"I always do, you know that."

"Don't. You're not like them. That's why I chose you." Xavior's voice lowered to be the same volume as his sobbing and vulnerable lover.

"Besides, I fucking love dragons." Xavior smiles softly at Danielle who doesn't see it as she stares at his chest.

"I told you before though, if I was only like other people, things would be better." Danielle's sobs still seep through.

"Danielle, chose you because you are different. I don't want a Madison 2.0. I want you.."

"Every girl now a days is a Madison. I'm not. I'm the different one. You chose the different one. You chose a dragon who can't give you what a Princess Madison can." Danielle's tears continue to stream down her face.

"You're right. You aren't a princess, but a dragon. But I intend to make you my queen. Fuck having a princess, I have a damn dragon! Let that whore talk, because all I want is you. The prince is supposed to kill the dragon right? But I intend to be a knight and slay anyone who tries to harm you. Even Oliver's a dumbass because of how he lets his girlfriend act and treat you. Danielle, no one is worth it beside you. Only you matter to me. All our friends, they are expendable-"

"Not Ilene. I need that girl." Danielle spits out as she grips at Xavior's shirt tighter.

"Okay yes, Ilene isn't. Good, you're listening. But everyone else is expendable. You are worth more than every single person. Just you and me.."

"But I'm scared I'll lose you to someone like that. She genuinely believes she can take you away from me. I'm scared about what she can and will do.."

"No one is taking me away from you without leaving with a few broken bones. No one. You stay a dragon okay? You are my weird dragon. Not a princess who wears 2 pounds of make up every day, who is addicted to social media, fancy clothes, and talk like they are the most stupidest person alive." Xavior slowly lifts Danielle's chin. The two lock eyes, one warm and the other pouring waterfalls.

"You are a dragon who reads books, plays video games and I don't know how many sports. A dragon who rather wear a hoodie over designer clothes and make up. A dragon who is straight forward and mostly blunt when speaking. And no one is taking me away from that."

"Are you sure..?" Danielle asks, her voice trembling.

"100,000,000% sure."

"Do you promise?"

"I promise."

Xavior let's Danielle go and prepares for his girlfriend's next move. After every argument, crying session, anxiety or panic attack, depression episode, Danielle grows more vulnerable and wants to be completely cared for, like a baby. Xavior has no problem with this instant childlike behavior.

"Can I be a small dragon..?" Her voice becomes higher than its normal low, rich, alto voice.

"Yes my darling." Xavior smiles and grabs her thick blanket and rolls it out on the floor.

"Sushi roll time!" Danielle sniffles out as she lays on the edge of the blanket and curls up into a ball. Xavior chuckles and slowly begins to wrap Danielle in the blanket, looking like a human sushi roll.

"Come here my little dragon. My little sushi roll." Xavior hoists her up in his arms and smiles at her. Xavior plants his lips against her forehead and cheek.

"So does the dragon not have sex until she's ready?" Danielle perks up and peaks her eyes out of her blanket at the large man whom she loves.

"Only when she's ready.. I promise. Now what do you want to eat?"
