Dragon Prince Astarot (COMPLETE)

Waiting Week

Lee was not one made to easily wait. The week was torture for her.Nonetheless, Lee found ways of occupying her time.

She strode about the castle. Clive was her ever present guard. Leewondered why. She was not afraid to ask.

"I'm a big girl Clive. I can walk myself around the castle."Lee pouted. It was a few days since her first meeting with PrinceAstarot and she was wearing another simple white slip.

"I know you're a big girl, Lady Lee. I tasted it." Hesmirked and Lee felt flush again. "And that's exactly why I'm tostick with you until you fall pregnant." Lee stopped walking andlaughed.

"Then fuck me. Fuck me now. What are you and Tarot afraidof?"

"Believe me, lady..." Clive pinned Lee against the wall- his breath laboured and his green eyes like glowing spheres as theybored into Lee's flesh with hunger. Lee noticed the yellow flecks inhis eyes for the first time. "I would. I would if I wasn'tloyal." He nipped at Lee's ear. "But that's why I'mwatching you. This is Prince Astarot's wing of the castle. It'sguarded and all of his women are not to be touched by anyone else.Especially his brothers." Clive planted a kiss on Lee's neckbefore releasing her.

Lee stared at Clive. "I don't understand."

"Tarot wants to be the one to have a daughter. If hisbrothers are stealing his women before he impregnates them then notgood. That's one less chance for him to rise to power." Clivespoke mater of factly.

"So... you're watching me to make sure I don't run off toanother part of the castle?" An eye roll. "What about theother women?"

Clive laughed. So far Lee had seen many parts of the castle withClive but she had yet to meet anyone else. Clive gestured for Lee tofollow him to the end of the hallway. She did.

They were overlooking a balcony that peered out to an open roomfilled with women and lots of crying babies and toddlers. Hundreds ofwomen. Hundreds more baby boys.

"They're all Prince Astarot's." Clive spoke calmly."Every son. Every woman. And every woman down there ispregnant."

Lee was shocked. "That's... a lot... Will I go down there?"

"This is the mess hall. You will get your own room and afteryou give birth, Tarot will come to lay with you once more."Clive shrugged.

"But only when I'm fertile." Lee crossed her arms.

"This is your duty to the Empire." Clive shrugged.

"And what is your duty to the Empire, Clive?" Lee wasteasing.

"I pledged my loyalty. I hold no royal blood. My parents werefarmers - same as yours. Yet I was born a dragon. Nobility byomission." Clive looked out to all the women below. Then out awide window to a figure in the grey sky. "Tarot and I have beeninseparable since our childhood. I was one of his father's wards.Astarot is one son of fifteen. His father was one son of nine. TheEmpire is split into many kingdoms and is set to fracture further.With the Emperor's, Tarot's uncle's, death it will fall. And only adaughter can heal it." Clive spoke away from Lee.

"What is that?" Lee suddenly asked as the strange figurein the sky grew closer.

Clive grinned, a quick snap out of his somber self. "That isyour prince, my lady. Come look." Grabbing her hand he broughther to a larger balcony out in the open air.

Lee gasped as the full force of the royal beast drew closer. Shehad never seen a dragon as a dragon before. Astarot was likehis human self - hard to take your eyes off.

Sleek. Astarot was a black dragon with scales that almost shonepurple in the sunlight. Long limbs and sharp, smooth horns grew fromhis head. And his wings were elegant. They almost looked gentle untilone spotted the spikes.

But it was his eyes that made Lee weak. She remembered the way hiseyes stared at her as he explored her body. Those same eyes stared ather now. Spotting her miles away.

Clive jumped off the balcony. Lee gasped and ran to the railing.Her cries soundless next to the sounds of the dragon prince's wings.Lee looked down and saw Clive's human form wither and bloat. A sparkof bright light and a dragon emerged. Wings flapping.

Clive's dragon form was not at all like Astarot's. Bulky and withscales of dirty yellow. Clive sported thick limbs and short leatherywings.

He flew to Astarot and the two screeched a piercing scream as theyplayfully batted one another. They flew in still air before Tarotflew off and landed on the railing beside Lee.

Changing before her Lee blinked and the beautiful beast was left ahandsome prince. Behind him Clive was putting one massive claw ontothe railing as well.

"You're ready." Tarot touched Lee's belly. His greeneyes aflame and for the first time Lee noticed the flecks of purplein his eyes.

"She seemed ready to me too." Clive stated as he brushedat his clothes and freshly turned body.

"You're coming to my chambers, Lady Lee. It's time wereminded you of your duty."
