A Pet for the Dragons

141.

ARIKA

I had thought we'd be out of here in no time once Zorge and Radrox managed to deceive the commission, and Ivret pulled some strings. I couldn't have been more wrong.

As more days passed, our situation grew tense, and the chances of us getting out of here grew slimmer. This was starting to make me feel even more helpless.

I already felt so out of place and out of my depth in a place like this. I didn't know anyone and was at a disadvantage for being a human here. I couldn't do anything but sit in the wing and wait all day for something to happen, for something to change that could eventually get us out of here.

I was tired of this. It felt like I was doing nothing. I was doing nothing other than having thoughts of fucking the dragons every waking second. I just couldn't stop thinking about climbing them like a tree. It was a major distraction but also something I couldn't stop craving. It must be the pull of the bond. I've been feeling this way ever since the marking.

Things were getting serious between me and the dragons as well. As much as I liked it, it frustrated me that we weren't fucking properly yet. But I knew they had their reasons. The major problem getting in our way was everything in this palace.

It made me want to get out of here so I could be back with the dragons in the Arctic, where no one would be there to disturb us while we bonded properly and furthered our relationship.

If anything, all this made me feel more helpless. Everything that had happened with us here so far ensured that we stayed here longer than we liked. I tried to think of something to help us out of here, but nothing came to mind.

It wasn't like I could go out alone and try to figure something out. Maybe I could do that, but I wasn't sure if it would be safe for me to go out alone, and apart from that, my dragons wouldn't be happy if I deliberately put myself in harm's way. It wasn't an option.

My only option so far was the Golden Prince — Yvune. Only he seemed capable of helping me, but he hadn't visited me since he took me to his tower, and Zorge found me there.

I found it odd that he handcart visited me yet. He seemed like a kid who was very interested in me. But at the same time, he could be busy eavesdropping on other people. I hoped he'd return soon because I was ready to bargain with him for any help I could get.

After Radrox told us about the dragons he'd met while being away and how they were unable to help him, I couldn't help but feel even more helpless. I decided to go to my room and have some time to think. I couldn't afford to get distracted anymore. I wanted to feel like I was also actively trying to better our situation and get us out of here faster.

However, Zorge seemed to have other plans because he snuck in while I sat in a warm bath. I couldn't help but sigh deeply when he found me alone and naked. His eyes blazed with hunger as they washed over me.

"Can't a girl have some time alone?" I asked, but he didn't leave. Instead, he crossed his arms on his chest and leaned against the wall, his eyes set heatedly on me. "What is it, Zorge?"

"Are you avoiding me?" He asked grimly, and I barked a laugh at him.

"You think so?" I humoured, but the expression on his face remained grim. "What makes you think so?" I asked. He stared hard at me for a moment longer before stalking towards the tub. I sucked in a breath as he neared me.

"I'm sorry for flipping out on Ivret," He said softly, standing in front of the tub. It surprised me for a minute because I wasn't expecting him to apologise. He looked like he wanted to argue with me or make me lose my mind with orgasms when he walked in. Nonetheless, I was glad that he apologised.

"O-okay," I said, somewhat unsure. I hadn't expected this from him. "But I think you must apologise to Ivret and not me," I told him. He looked annoyed but nodded before sitting on the edge of the tub. His eyes remained on me heatedly. I swear, he was warming the bath water just by his gaze.

"So, what are you doing now?" He asked casually, placing his hand suspiciously close to me.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" I asked, and he flashed a wide smile at me. He was probing into my head, reading me like a book.

"Can I join?" He asked, but he was already taking off his clothes and not waiting for my answer. I took a deep breath. I wanted to say yes. My whole body was screaming at me to say yes, to let him have his way with me, but things were fucked right now. I needed some time to be alone with myself and think things through.

"Zorge, please... can I have a moment alone?" I asked him genuinely. He crossed his arms on his chest, and a determined look took over his face. I groaned, almost reading his thoughts. He looked like he wanted to argue with me over that.

"Alright," He said, grabbing his clothes. "I will leave you alone for now," He turned to walk to the door. But before leaving, he promised darkly. "But I will be back for you, Arika, because I'm not done with you. I will never be done with you. I burn for you every second now. I will keep you stuck on my knot for hours the next time we're together, Arika. So enjoy your alone time for now. You wouldn't be getting any soon,"
