Dragon Rider

Chapter 10

Eight months have passed, and the school year is coming to an end. I have excelled in all of my Instructionals, and so has Laria. She and I have managed to progress in rebuilding our relationship as have Afra and me. Afra and I are not back where we were before, but we are getting better. I honestly do not believe that we will not get back to how we were before. My birthday is in two days on the last day of school which is exciting.

"What are you doing for your birthday in a couple of days, Larken?" River asks from behind me as I spend time with Tiamet before taking him out on a ride.

Bringing my gaze over to his with a smile and a shrug; "I dunno. I will probably have dinner with my family like usual."

He frowns at me; "Not that is bad, but aren't you going out with your friends?"

"Nope, I do not have any friends," I reply with a shrug of my shoulders.

"Why do you not have any friends?" River asks as I grab Tiamet's reins and halter from his hook on the wall.

"Because I do not," I answer with another shrug, and a frown. "Most people that were my friends stopped once I admitted my sexuality."

"That is stupid of them for doing that to you?" River states, sounding as if he is seriously pissed.

Shrugging my shoulders again; "It is what it is."

"This tells me a lot about you, Larken," he gently says with a look I cannot figure out.

Raising my eyebrows at him, not understanding what he means, and he softly chuckles; "I mean that the phrase and why you do not want friends is because you have been screwed over by those who should have never screwed you over."

Staring at him as I think over his answer, I just give him a small nod, and a quiet 'maybe'.

"Well, I was already planning on asking you this, but would you like to go out with my and Charlie for your birthday?" he says, and I kinda feel this a pity offer.

"Look, I appreciate the offer, I really do, but I do not want or need the pity offer for my birthday," I murmur, trying not to sound like an asshole. "I am not bothered by being alone except for my family, but I really do appreciate the offer, but it is not needed."

"This offer is not meant to be a pity offer. I do realize why it would seem that way, and I do apologize for coming off that way," River apologizes, and I curtly nod in acceptance. "Will you please think over my request?"

Slowly nodding at him; "I will give this a thought until tomorrow, and then I will let you know my answer by the end of the day."

"That is fine, Larken," he replies with a nod. "Have a good ride on Tiamat, and I will see you tomorrow in Instructional."

"See you tomorrow, Instructor Vincent," I reply softly with a nod of my head toward him.

"Are you ready, Tiamet?" I gently ask him with a gentle rub of his cheek.

He bobs his head down in reply, and I climb onto his back, holding the reign. Tiamet launches us into the air, and we fly high into the sky for an hour. Tiamet lands in an empty part of the field before I make sure he is settled comfortably in his stall with food and water.

"Larken, are you excited for summer to start?" Laria excitedly asks while I grab food from the cafe.

"Sure," I reply with a nod while paying for my dinner.

"Are you interning anywhere over the summer?" Mercy questions as the three of us sit at a table.

"Yes, I am," I answer. "I am interning for four weeks with the Warriors, and then four weeks with the Scouts. Are you excited to start your career?"

"Absolutely! I am excited to start my career!" she excitedly replies.

Laria and Mercy talk through the rest of dinner while I stay silent, and listen to them. I watch River and Instructor Weston, a.k.a. Charlie, enter the cafe for their own dinner. Chewing on my lower lip while mulling over River's offer of spending time with him and Charlie on my birthday.

By the end of my dinner, I am leaning toward taking River up on his offer. I probably will take tell him yes about his offer, but I dunno because I do not want to be a pity-party hangout session. Bidding my sister and Mercy a goodnight, and take my empty and dirty silverware to the location for these to be cleaned. Wandering to my rest quarters slowly while thinking about River.

Gathering my shower supplies and clean jammies, I make my way to the shower units. Looking around the room, I am the only person in here which is good for what I want to do to myself. Stepping into a shower unit, I close myself inside, strip from my clothes, and turn the water onto hot. Digging my teeth into my lower lip to keep my moans muffled as I tug on my hardened length as I think about River fucking me hard. Spreading my feet a little wider, and throw my right palm flat against the wall in front of me as I jerk my penis, and soft moans escape me as I cum hard at the thought of being fully taken by River.

Quickly washing myself from my hair to the bottom of my feet, and rinse myself off along with making sure my cum is washed down the drain. Turning off the water, I dry myself off, and get dressed before gathering my belongings to head back to my rest quarters. I feel extremely relaxed after my shower while placing away my stuff before laying on my bed under the covers. I fall asleep shortly after my head is placed on the pillow, and I am comfortable on my stomach. During my sleep, I dream of the life I could possibly have with River, and the possible children we could have.
