Milady

The Dragon

Virlane and Katrina appeared inside their lair, she stumbled slightly and reached out for Virlane, holding onto him until she regained her balance feeling so disoriented and off center "will it take long to get used to this new body? Virlane, my head seems to be spinning and spinning." He picked her up and took her into their bed chamber and lay her on the smooth satin covers, "I think your just exhausted from everything that has happened, sleep now and when you wake up, we can start getting you used to being a dragoness." She curled up on the bed, with a deep sigh of relief, it felt so good to lay down and close her eyes for awhile, she was asleep in seconds. Virlane smiled softly down at his dragoness, then joined her on the bed, he curled his body around hers and lay there looking at her, he had so much to teach her, so many wondrous things to show her. He gently stroked her wings, her neck, he softly caressed the small crest running down her back so lovely and delicate as only a dragoness can be. He put his paw on her stomach and fell asleep listening to the heartbeats of his lady and his son.

Katrina woke slowly, stretching, feeling ravenously hungry, slipping from the huge bed, she steadied herself, smiling as she remembered Bitsy's words, balance, lady, balance, its all in the tail. As she was leaving the room, she passed a long gilt edged mirror, she stood staring at herself, touching her arms, her chest, her face, she turned and looked at her wings and long tail. "Do you like what you see? Katrina" asked Virlane who had been watching her from the bed, as he waited for her to answer, he got up and went to stand behind her, looking at her in the mirror. She smiled back at him in the mirror, once more running her paws down her arms "I'm all golden and tall, I'm very happy with the way I look, I just have to get used to seeing myself this way." Virlane gently ran his talons down her back then touched her wingjoints "spread your wings for me" she was startled for a moment, just thinking to herself, "spread my wings" and they unfurled, perhaps this wasn't going to be as difficult as she thought. Virlane moved closer behind her "purr for me, Katrina" he said as his talons ran down the length of her long, elegant neck her neck arched at his touch, she purred deeply, then laughed at the look on his face as they both heard her stomach rumbling. He chuckled ruefully then nuzzled her gently, "I think my dragoness needs feeding". They ate side by side, every once in awhile Virlane would gently stroke his tail down her back or lean over to nuzzle her. After they had finished eating he gave her a serious look, he wanted nothing more then to play for the day but knew that wasn't possible. "We have to discuss how we are going to deal with the Keep and the people there, they are used to seeing you in the mornings in the dining hall, seeing you about the keep during the day. We have to insure that doesn't change, it will be no problem if we left for a few days at a time but as your pregnancy advances, that will become more difficult." She nodded thoughtfully "Collin is due back any time now, no one will be surprised if we spent a fair amount of time in the tower room for the first week or so. At night do we return here or do we stay at the keep?" Virlane took a sip from his goblet thinking of all the possibilities and the disadvantages "I will be making a few changes at the keep, an added room off the study and if possible a small room in the tower, we are going to need a nursery and this will just be a few additions I doubt anyone will comment on. I'm also going to give Mary, Drapper and Mathew a small bell, for emergencies, no one will be able to hear it ring but the two of us. Now you must start practicing, changing from dragoness to human, until you have it perfected." He gave her the special words and for the next few hours watched her change again and again until she did it flawlessly then he set about teaching her how to appear and disappear at the wink of an eye. Virlane turned from his work bench to say something and saw his dragoness sound asleep in his chair and smiled, he carried her to their bed and gently tucked her in, he knew he had pushed her hard today to learn many things, but he had to be sure she was going to be safe and could take care of herself if the need arose. He let her sleep for several hours then nuzzled her awake, she opened sleepy eyes and smiled at him, he felt a growl of lust and leaned down and kissed her deeply. Pulling back with a sigh he kissed her lightly again, "its time for you to return to the keep, it will be supper soon." Feeling rested she got up and gave Virlane a saucy wink, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately "tonight my golden dragoness, you will pay for that wink" slapping her lightly on her bottom with his tail and sent her on her way.

MiLady walked into the dining hall and smiled, everything seemed so normal, she ate her supper and listened to the chatter, other then the odd occasional looks from Mary the evening went along smoothly. She was just about to go sit by the fireplace when Henry came in holding a piece of parchment, Henry bowed then smiled "this came this morning, MiLady, "I wanted to take it to you earlier but Mary said you were feeling poorly. I hope you are much better now MiLady" said Henry as he handed her the parchment. She read the parchment, then smiling brightly she looked at everyone "Collin will be arriving in a fortnight, he hopes everything is going well and looks forward to being back at the Keep" she announced, this brought great cheers from the men and smiles from the women. MiLady sat at the fireplace listening to Henry chatter, she smiled to herself it pleased her that Collin was so well thought of. Mary was as nervous as a cat, as she helped MiLady get ready for the evening, she kept jumping at every little noise "please Mary, everything is going to be just fine, stop worrying" Mary gave MiLady a skeptical look, "never have seen anything like that in all my born days, just about scared me witless for a while it did, why when that green blob came floating in the window, I thought it was the end for all of us." They both looked at each other and remembering a green Bitsy started to laugh until tears streamed down their faces. MiLady wished Mary a good night and firmly locked the door after she had left.

Virlane was waiting at the lair entrance for her, then she was standing before him, he leaned over and kissed her deeply, his golden dragoness. She returned the kiss and purred softly at him, he went to stand behind her and suddenly unfurled his wings putting his arms underneath hers and suddenly flew into the night sky. She cried out in alarm "unfurl your wings, Katrina, move with me" her wings unfurled and she felt the wind brushing over them, she felt as if she were part of the stars and night sky. He encouraged her with his body movements and words, he could see the amazement on her face and was pleased. Warning her just before he let her go, she plummeted down, he followed her, telling her what to do, suddenly with a deep sweep of her wings she soared upward. Katrina laughed with delight and dipped her wings once again, then went spiraling up, he could hear her laughter, he sensed the joy and freedom she felt and soared on, calling for her to join him. Virlane swept up behind and above her, then brushed against her, flew under her once again brushing up against her. Trailing his tail over her back as he once again flew above her, she watched him closely, then grinning tried the same thing, it took several attempts for her to judge her distance but she laughed as her wingtip slide along his stomach, she dipped away from him and then did the same thing up his back, then let out a startled cry as he nipped her tail. Giving her a wicked grin he flew above her, she felt him over her and looked up, just as he wrapped his arms and legs around her his tail curled around hers and held it tightly, he purred into her ear and nipped her neck as he thrust into her, her moans of pleasure filled the night skies, to be joined by his roar of pleasure. with each deep sweep of his wings he moved in and out of her, pushing them into a slow dive then suddenly a steep spiraling climb, feeling her climax he shuddered, flooding her with his seed. The forest people heard the dragons call in the night, husbands smiled at wives, lovers turned to each other in the dark, children snuggled down under their blankets. The dragons were back to stay and with them the prosperity of the land. A long time later the two dragons slept curled around each other, content to finally rest.

The weeks went by quickly, the nights for the dragons, the days for human matters. MiLady was sitting in the study, discussing the need for new roofs on the homes of the farmers with Henry when Mary came running in. "The Duke is back, My Lord Collin has finally returned!" Henry as usual rushed out of the room, MiLady followed at a more sedate pace, even though she wanted to rush out front just like the rest of the crowd that seemed to have quickly gathered at the steps to the keep. She watched him ride into the lower bailey, his fine stallion prancing and pawing the ground. He looked so handsome she thought as he swung down from the saddle, tossing the reins to a waiting Drapper Collin strode up the steps of the Keep bowed deeply before MiLady then swung her up into his arms and kissed her before one and all "I have returned to MiLady, the light of my life, never to leave again" a great cheer was heard through out the Courtyard. Carrying her into the Keep Collin winked, with a saucy grin MiLady winked back.
