Destroyers and the Dragons

     "It tastes better boiled, but we can't chance fires tonight," I tell him with a mischievous smile.

     "You two get some sleep for tomorrow you will need all your wits about you," Pine says and then moves off through the camp. I spread an oiled cloth down on the still damp ground and make my bed on top of it. I find Evergreen making his bed next to mine on the remaining oiled cloth. I peel out of my leather armor and lay it down next to me. I find Evergreen studying me. He pulls me to him and wraps his hand in my braids and then kisses me hard. I feel like he's trying to drink me in with the kiss. Finally he pulls away.

     "Everything will be okay," I whisper.

     "I couldn't forgive myself if I died tomorrow without getting another kiss from you," he says. His hand brushes my shoulder and then he pulls me to him again. We kiss for a while and then he is pulling off my tunic. At some point his tunic disappears as well. I am laying on my back on my bedroll as Evergreen's hands pull my breeches off. I have decided to not think about the consequences this one night. 

     "If you tell me to stop, I will," he pants as he studies my face. I tug on his leggings in frustration. He quickly pulls his leggings off and then he plunges inside me. He isn't a gentle lover tonight, but I don't mind as I begin to rock my hips in time with his thrusts. I moan my orgasm into his mouth, but he isn't even close to finished. I have at least four more orgasms before he grunts and plunges hard I can feel his orgasm filling me as he collapses on top of me. We lay there wrapped around each other for a while.

     "Is it true?" I ask suddenly. Evergreen looks at me with curiosity.

     "Is what true?" he asks cautiously.

     "Is it true that a dragon can... can withhold his..." Evergreen smiles at me in sudden understanding.

     "Yes a dragon male chooses when to impregnate a mate. You have nothing to worry about," he said kissing me again.

     "You should get some sleep," he whispers in my ear causing my stomach to clench again.

     "You'll have to move, so I can dress first," I whisper back.

     "What if I don't want to?" he counters pulling me closer to him.

     "Then your entire camp will discover us in the morning, since there is no tent to hid inside," I retort. Gently he pushes away from me. I retrieve my clothes and pull them back on. I then remake my bed and crawl into it. I turn over to find Evergreen staring at me. He pulls his bed right next to mine. I fall asleep with his arm wrapped around my waist.

     I wake to Pine nudging me with his foot. I manage to open one eye as he grins at me.

     "Did you two sleep well?" he asks dropping a pouch of food on my bed.

     "Sure, I always sleep better under the stars," I say. Pine rolls his eyes which probably means he knows what we did. Evergreen smiles at me and then grins like a fool at Pine.

     "I thought as much," Pine concludes. I feel my cheeks burning.

     "And what is that supposed to mean?" I demand.

     "It means that you two spent most of the night fucking like a couple of bunnies," Pine says grinning down at me.
