A Pet for the Dragons

84.

RADROX

I'd been anxious for most of the day after our discussion. We decided to mark Arika tonight, but it didn't feel right to me. I needed more time. I didn't want to mark Arika under such circumstances.

Even though my dragon was elated at the decision of finally marking Arika and laying our permanent claim on her, he wasn't pleased with the situation either. I'd never imagined it to be like this...

... and then there was the risk of her being unable to bear our venom. This troubled me the most. It made me fidgety because it reminded me of the guilt I had felt when Arika lied about me hurting her. That all turned out to be false, but thinking of truly hurting Arika this time was starting to make me sick.

I decided to leave Ivret's estate and go out to find out the reasons. We stayed at one of Ivret's family estates because it was more convenient than Zorge and my estate.

I spent some time at the Cardinal Square, where the court members mingled. I tried to gather information from there but didn't get anything solid. From my intel, everything seemed to be running fine at the court... then why were we summoned out of nowhere?

Going to the Square proved even worse for me because hearing that there was no emergency at court that required our immediate presence made me more anxious. It was becoming more apparent that we were summoned because of the Empress' personal reasons.

It was already dark when I returned to Ivret's estate. Ivret was ready with his spells and potions to start the marking trial on Arika. This didn't help me at all. It was beginning to make my dragon and me more fidgety, and I feared it would make me mess everything up later.

I could sense the same uneasiness in Ivret as well. He looked the most anxious even though he'd been preparing for it almost the past week. After all, his skills would be put to the test tonight.

"Are you going to go now or wait for later?" I couldn't help but ask him.

"Zorge's delivering her dinner. I've sent him to ease her," Ivret said, and that did nothing to ease me because I knew things were tense between Zorge and Arika, too. I'd seen what had gone down between them and how he left her hot and needy. She was equally mad at him as much as she was angry at us.

"Let's just go and do this. I cannot wait," I told Ivret. "Waiting will only make us more anxious," I said. At first, it seemed like Ivret wanted to debate that, but he gave up and joined me as I headed upstairs to Arika's bedroom.

We were about to enter her room when we heard Arika.

"Stop it!" Arika hissed at my brother. "You're playing with me again,"

"I'm not playing this time," Zorge said. It was his dragon speaking, making my dragon more eager to be with her. Ivret froze beside me.

"As I was about to say earlier, all talk and no doing," Arika shot back at him, and I heard them struggling.

"I will help Zorge distract and calm her. You prepare for the rest," I told Ivret before quietly opening the door and entering Arika's bedroom.

I found Zorge and Arika on her bed with Zorge between her legs and her legs over his shoulder. Both were too engaged with each other to notice my presence in the room right away.

"You don't know what you're—" Arika was telling Zorge, but he pushed her on her back and parked her legs before burring his face there. I waited for Arika to moan and for her body to ease, but she got more tense and frustrated as my brother continued to work on her.

I wasn't surprised at this. Human females had different anatomy than dragon ladies. It was natural for Zorge to be unaware of the little nub between Arika's folds, where she was the most sensitive and reactive.

Thinking about that nub reminded me of the night she spent with me in my dungeon. So far, it had been the only night when Arika and I had been together. It stirred so many emotions, especially my burning desire for her. My dragon stirred inside me, urging me to take my brother's place and find the sensitive nub between her legs and make her moan.

But as a brother, I felt the need to guide Zorge. I climbed on the bed and edged closer to them as quietly as possible. I slipped a hand between her legs and parted her folds for Zorge to see the sensitive nub there.

Arika gasped as soon as she noticed me and registered my touch. I could feel how hot and wet she was down there, and it made my mouth water, craving for a taste of her. But I focused on the task at hand.

"Lick that," I told Zorge. "That nub, you see. It's pink and pulsing. She's the most sensitive there,"

"Radrox," Arika breathed my name before Zorge started doing what I told him to do. Instantly, Arika moaned out loud, resting her head against my arm. Zorge was smart, and he picked up the clue immediately.

Even though I'd been trying to hold myself back from doing anything serious with her before making her submit, I couldn't hold back at that moment. I cupped her breast with the heart-shaped nipple and claimed her lips before she could let out another moan.

I drank her moans while I kissed her, and Zorge pleasured her through the sensitive nub between her legs. I felt her body loosening up against mine, which was a good indication. We needed her calm so her body wouldn't fight against our venom and accept our marks.

But I forgot all about this as soon as I tasted her lips. I couldn't hold back myself or my dragon anymore. I had to give in completely. I reminded myself I was doing this just because of this terrible situation, but the truth couldn't be further from it. It didn't matter. Arika was going to be ours now and no one could take her away from us. Not even the Empress.
