Indebted

44

The subtle sound of air being rushed out of the way of a swinging paddle sang out in the still air. The tension thick in the silent room. The release in tandem with the satisfying sound of the paddle finally connecting with Joe's muscular full ass. A crack echoed in the air.  Theo smiled, knowing how much his mate enjoyed the sting of the strike, the warm glow afterwards. Just as much as Theo loved marking up his mates skin.

Joe easily saying, "One, thank you." Theo granted another spanking. Adding a matching red welt on the opposite side's cheek. There was art in symmetry. Joe's naked body was beautiful, handcuffed to the footboard of the custom made wrought iron bed. Theo and Joe needed the counterweight and structure for their proclivities. Joe's feet shoulder width apart on the floor. Ass up, invitingly. Theo loved the tan lines on his mate's skin. Subtle shifts in color on his skin showing Joe's favorite style of tshirt. Calves more tan than his thighs from preferring to wear shorts anytime it would be appropriate for a human to wear shorts weatherwise.

Theo deeply loved Joe. Wanted to have everything with Joe. They needed a third mate, a woman to bear their young. Both felt drawn to the earth dragon. She was a most fitting mate they had ever met. Esti's dragon had said they were not interested. Theo swung again. Harder this time. Loving the small moan that slipped past Joe's lips before he spoke. "Four. Thank you. May I have another." Theo smoothed his flat palm over the heated, red glowing skin of Joe's ass and thighs. Joe was angry, and when Joe was angry he wanted to hurt.

Theo knew he was frustrated, and when he was frustrated, and Joe was angry, the play turned too dark. They could actually hurt each other when they were in moods like this. "No, that is sufficient for your punishment." Theo stood strong as Joe kept asking for another. Trying to brat his way into getting the pain he was seeking.

Instead, Theo used his frustration as a source of power. Smoothing witch hazel lotion over Joe's skin, the welts already less bright than they had been moments ago. Joe would quickly heal, even without the tender gestures. It was always nice to lavish love and care on his mate. Aftercare was important regardless of mood.

As all the reddened skin was massaged with the healing balm, Theo had moved closer. His body just behind Joe's now. Leaning down, hands on Joe's hips, Theo pressed his cock against Joe's ready ass hole. Inching through the tight ring of muscles as he kissed a line of kisses over Joe's broad shoulders. Sheathing himself balls deep. Joe rocking on his heels, working Theo's cock deeper inside himself.

Theo moved one of his hands from Joe's hip, reaching lower, to grasp Joe's cock in his fist. Precum weeping down the swollen, red aching tip. The precum acting as lubrication as Theo continued to stroke Joe. Matching the pace of his hand with his own cock's thrusts.

Joe was getting tense. He was close. Theo was able to read Joe's mind and body perfectly. Touching his mate exactly how Joe wanted to be touched. Giving him everything he wanted and more. Joe was panting, ready when Theo bit down hard on Joe's shoulder. The flash of pain as the skin broke, the remarking sending a rush of magic and sensations through Joe.

Joe came with a roar in their private room in the council tower. Hidden in an office skyscraper downtown. Joe's body clenched and milked Theo as he continued to thrust, Joe's release triggering his own powerful orgasm. Theo snapped his fingers, the handcuffs opened, Joe moved his arms into a wider stance. Relaxing as the endorphins from his orgasm finally started to ebb and chip away at his dark mood.

The tension in the room had dissipated. Instead the air was perfumed with the scents of Joe and Theo, and their dragons musk. Joe stood up, turned and kissed his mate. Stubble against stubble, tongues dueling to dominate the kiss. Half making out, half wrestling each other into the bed. Theo got Joe on his back on the bed, only to have Joe roll to be on top. Looking down at his mate. "You are planning something." Joe accused, he knew the moment Theo's mind had sparked an idea while they had been fucking. Joe felt entitled to know where Theo's mind had gone while he had been inside of him. They were partners, should share everything.

Theo smiled up at Joe, "Fuck me hard enough and I'll consider sharing." The smile turned to a nearly wicked glint. Joe did not need to be asked to fuck Theo more than once. Especially with the promise that Theo would be forthcoming later. Trusting his mate entirely, Joe happily grabbed Theo's cock in his hand, moving his body closer, lining himself up at Theo's entrance. Thrusting his way inside. Theo relaxed completely. Readily accepting Joe's cock.

Joe fell easily for Theo's distraction. Theo needed to have Joe's mind focused and occupied. Joe might only be able to shift into a dragon, barely influenced by the base instincts of such a creature, he was exceptionally perceptive of magic. A subtle touch, a master level of skill was needed as Theo peered into Joe's mind, needing to know how Joe felt about a couple key points before solidifying his master plan. Theo split his mind, moving his body along with Joe, making sure Joe was enjoying himself.

Seeking and giving pleasure was nearly all muscle memory to Theo now. Especially with only Joe. Theo knew Joe's body better than Joe knew it himself. Most of Theo's mind was elsewhere. Figuring out what threads and favors Theo was going to need to pluck to get what he wanted.

Theo managed to force an orgasm just as Joe came inside him. Joe falling onto the pillow beside Theo. Leaning his body towards Theo, radiating love and contentment. Joe basked in the afterglow, he had been fucked and got to fuck. Body felt warm and spent. Enjoying the still slightly glowing feeling where Theo had paddled him earlier. A perfect night. A great distraction from trying to think of what to do about Esti's mate in the jail cell.

On the pillow beside him, Theo thought nothing of secretly poking around in Joe's mind. Theo knew Joe had been attracted to Esti, was telling himself that Joe would be happy in the end. The ends could justify the means used to achieve them. Theo was bold enough to believe that the world would even be a better place with himself and Joe mated to Esti. Atticus was technically of royal blood, wrong side of the sheets royal, but could still be useful in some way Theo was sure.

Theo clapped his hands and the lights went off in the room. "Sleep." He bid his mate. Kissing Joe goodnight. "I will tell you our plan tomorrow." Grabbing the blanket and tucking them both into the large, plush bed. Joe slept soundly all night long. Theo plotted. By the time the sun had risen, he had formulated what he was certain was a more than brilliant plan to land the last earth dragon in his lap and full of his cock and seed soon enough.

Theo had always been a voracious reader, could read several now dead languages. He knew the truth of the true, natural dragons of earth. Theo had read three histories that told how the interloper dragons from a dying universe orchestrated the demise of every dragon already on earth to solidify the new rule of the Sovran Dragons. Esti was owed a Kingdom, Theo wanted to be a King.
