"I need more than a goodbye," I said as I moved to him and slid my arms up his chest. I got up on my tiptoes and put my arms around his neck and into his long, dark hair. His lips met mine and we kissed passionately. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He carried me over to the table.
"If this is the last time we will ever see each other, then I want to be inside you," he said to me.
I ran my hands over his strong chest trying to memorize every angle and curve of him. I pressed my fingers into the hard flesh of his muscles. I pulled off my top and unhooked my bra, letting my breasts go free. He kissed down my neck and greedily took my breast into his mouth, licking and sucking. We were pressed for time and we had to indulge in every aspect of each other quickly.
He unbuttoned and unzipped my pants and pulled them off, along with my shoes. Now I sat on the table, naked. He pulled off his shirt and threw it on the ground. He pulled off his boots and pulled off his pants. Now he was naked standing between my thighs, with his long, thick cock sticking straight up.
I spread my thighs wide and he entered me fast. He went inside me deep. His hands cupped my ass as he pulled me toward him. He rocked his hips forward and back, swaying going in and out of me. I buried my face in his chest, kissing and licking him, trying to taste his skin.
I did not want this to be over. How did I end up here? How did I end up with such a deep thirst for this weredragon? It was not what I had planned. It must be the circumstances and the adrenaline of death looming over us that was making us act this way. It could not be explained any other way. Was this love? Had we spent enough time together for it to be love, or was it just a deep desire on an animal level for each other?
I did not have an answer to these questions. Instead, I allowed myself to indulge as Drin kissed me hard on the mouth. His tongue danced with mine and I pushed my fingers into his jet-black hair. I twisted the strands around my fingers, looking at the gorgeous color. His long cock was deep inside me, sliding in and out in my wetness. His hand moved between my thighs and his thumb went to my clitoris, rubbing it up and down. It was all I needed. "I'm coming, Drin! I'm coming!"
"Yes, come for me, my sweet Felicity," he whispered. With those words, I exploded and released my warm juices onto his cock. He growled and then he did something I did not expect. While he was inside of me, he shifted. Suddenly wings appeared on his back in a fine, silver thread, and scales emerged from his skin. I was in shock. I was in shock that it was able to happen without injuring me. Drin looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Shit! Felicity, are you all right? I did not mean for that to happen. It just grew and built inside of me until I had no control. I'm sorry; nothing like that has ever happened," he said as his hands patted down every inch of me as though searching for an injury.
"No, I am fine, Drin. I am not injured. That was the most amazing thing ever to happen to me. Thank you for that gift. Please do not stop what you were doing," I said, smiling. I wrapped my legs around his hips and pulled him toward me; the hard scales on his chest pressed against me. He smiled at me and then continued to move in and out of me, faster and faster.
I had a weredragon inside of me, and he shifted while he was making love to me in a fit of passion that he could not control. It was something that I knew had never happened before, or it would be on the lips of every woman, telling the story and wishing it would happen to her. Perhaps it was something that only happened with hybrids?
Drin moved faster and faster, in and out of me, pumping hard. His breath grew faster and harder with each pump. I leaned back on the table, placing the palms of my hands flat on the surface. I angled my body away from him so that I could get a full view of him. My breasts bounced up-and-down as he pounded me. We stared at each other, letting our eyes take in the memory of this moment.
His silver wings spread out far, stretching almost the length of the entire room behind him. It was a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight. Then his body tensed and I knew it was coming; his fingers pressed into my flesh and he shouted, "Felicity, I'm going to release inside of you. It's happening! I'm coming!"
I felt the build-up inside of me as well and I could not hold on any longer; we released in harmony. Our bodies convulsed together as we reached climax together and rose to a new level of ecstasy never achieved before. It was hot. It was messy. It was intense. It was the first shift to happen while in the act of making love.
Chapter 10
CAPTAIN DRIN KY-VESA
I could not fucking believe it. I had lost something. I had lost control of my shifting ability while l was inside of a human female. It was not just any human female; it was Dr. Felicity Maltra, the human female whose pheromones drove me insane. I don’t know what happened in that moment. I felt the built up of ecstasy and orgasm in my body and somehow, instead of releasing into orgasm, I released into a shift. It was unheard of and if I made it out of this purist mess alive, I would have to look into it to see if it had ever happened to anyone else before. It was simply unheard of it. It was reckless and dangerous, and yet it did not hurt her. After we pulled apart from our ecstasy, I knew that this was the end.
I watched her as she got dressed. It could be the last time that I ever watched her. It could be the last time that we would ever be together. I had to tell her the truth. I had to tell her that if the circumstances have been different, I would not be with her.
"Stop, Felicity; there is something I have to tell you. I have to tell you a truth. It is an ugly truth; you are not going to like it," I said to her. Her sparkling, green eyes grew wide and she sat down next to me.
"I'm listening, Drin," she said to me.
"Remember how you observed my brother and I arguing? We were keeping something from you. My brother was angry with me anytime he caught me with you."
"Why? What does your brother have to do with relations between you and I?" she asked.
"Because of the promise," I said to her.
"What promise?" she asked as her eyes began to water. Then she continued, "Are you promised to another? Do you have a Drackon female or human female that you are promised to on Mooreah?"
"Not entirely. I am promised to a Drackon female, but not one that I have ever met.”
“What? How could you? That is unacceptable! You mean to tell me that you are cheating on your betrothed with me? I knew it. I knew that something had to be going on. I knew you were hiding something with the way your brother was acting,” she said as she stood up and headed for the door. I grabbed her by the arm and swung her back toward me and said.
“Wait. I do not have a betrothed. You are not letting me finish. Would you please, for once, not let your mouth rattle on ahead of you?”
She was quiet and then gave me a smug look. She moved back to the chair and sat down. “I’m listening, Drin. We do not have much time.”
“You see, my father made my brother and I promise that we would marry and mate with a Drackon female. I think a part of him regretted mating with my mother even though he loved her dearly and passionately. He would die for her. But he said he felt some responsibility towards the balance and wanted his hybrid sons to have Drackon offspring with the Drackon females," I said to her.
"Your father was a radical? He was a purist?" she asked.
"No, not in the sense that they are now. He died two years ago and it would not be his wish that any violence be taken for the cause of keeping the blood pure. I don't think he foresaw what would happen. But the point is my brother and I made him a promise on his deathbed. I am a loyal and honorable weredragon; I had no intention of breaking that promise to him."
She was silent and then she burst into tears, "Why are you telling me this now? Why does it matter now? You are only hurting me," she said to me.
"No, I do not mean to hurt you. I do not have any reason for telling you this other than I do not want to keep secrets from you. You know my brother and I were keeping something and this is what we were hiding. I do not want you to think it was anything else, especially if I did not
make it through this battle."
Ring! Ring! She looked over at her screen. "That is a call from base, from my superior," she said as she wiped the tears from her face and composed herself. She stood in front of the screen and answered the call.
"Dr. Maltra, I need you to report to the battalion squad immediately."
"I will be right there," she said as she hung up the call. She turned and looked at me and said, "I guess this is goodbye."
"Goodbye, Felicity. You are the bravest and most beautiful female I have ever known. I wish circumstances were different. We both have our duties; we are both loyal to them."
She said nothing but turned and walked out the door. I felt numb, but I had a responsibility, and so did she, and we were at war. I looked at the time and there was an hour and a half before battalion launch. I wished that I could contact the king. If he indeed was on a battalion ship, he would be closer to Earth and easier to contact. I could contact him on the battalion channel that was a broad range for all Drackon ships.
I looked at Felicity's communication console. I could do this. I looked in her closet and under her sink. I found a bag of tools. I went to work hacking her system for long-range communications that would reach deep into space. Thirty minutes later, I had established a connection.
"King Caspin Rykor, this is Captain Ky-Vesa reporting. You know by now about the threatening message from Ukir that interrupted your communication?" I asked him.
"Yes, we also received our own, lovely message from Ukir. I am on board the Talla battalion ship. We are in hyperspeed, heading toward Earth."
"I and my crew will be aboard an Earth battalion ship. Earth is launching their fleet in a matter of less than an hour. We are going to try to drive Ukir’s fleet back away from Earth."
"Good; we will arrive in time to get them from the rear as you push them. Together with Earth, we shall surround them and squash this once and for all."
"Yes, King Caspin Rykor. I thought I should also inform you what the people on Earth think. They believe that all Drackon are responsible for the attack on the registration building. The Earth Council has not made a public announcement about the purist faction. The people on the ground here on Earth are very hostile toward all Drackon."
"Thank you for informing me, Captain. It is a very delicate matter; if there was only a way I could address the people of Earth myself."
"There is, King Caspin Rykor. I have hacked into the communication lines base and if I switch it on, then you will appear in many homes of the Earthlings."
"Excellent; that is excellent, Captain Ky-Vesa. I am ready. Tell me when," the king said. I smiled that he was ready to go along with my rogue plan. It was necessary and could save many lives and unnecessary violence between the Drackon and the Earthlings. I switched on the hack and said, "You are live."
"People of Earth! I am King Caspin Rykor of the Drackon race on Mooreah. I offer you my condolences and deepest despair toward the attack on the registration building. I would also like to inform you that we found are not responsible for the attack.
“As your Earth Council already knows, there is a radical faction known as the purists. They are a group of Drackon that have split off from us and defied me, their king. They are a terror group and their beliefs are not my beliefs, nor that of the majority of the Drackon. An insane leader known as Ukir leads them.
“I, and my fleet, are currently in flight to squash this faction of Drackon. We will not stop until all people and Drackon are safe from this faction. We will not stop until it has been deleted from existence. Do not allow this insane leader to force you to turn on all Drackon. There has been peace between us and there will be peace still. The actions of some should not be used to judge the morality of many.
“I have sent wealth to Earth in order to rebuild the damage that was done. I have sent wealth to take care of all your injured. I myself am half human; my mother was a human female. I consider you part of me and I will do everything I can to protect you. I am working with the Earth Council to defeat the radical faction and bring death to leader Ukir. Together, we will succeed; together, we will have victory!" The king nodded and I knew that nod was for me. I cut off the communication line. Then I made my way to the base battalion ships. I was ready to fight. I was ready to fight for my king, and the humans. I, after all, just like the king, was half human… this was as much my fight as any.
As I joined my crew and my brother on the Earth battalion ship ready for launch, I was in for a shock.
"I have spoken with our king; he will be here. He will join the fight. Ready ourselves, my Drackon warriors. This is the fight of your life," I said to my crew and my brother.
"We watched the king’s speech; we are ready. We will take down that bastard Ukir. We are with you, Captain," they said.
"Good, strap in. This is our ship. Though it is an Earth ship, we command it. Eral, you have had the most experience flying Earth ships; are you sure you can handle this one?"
"Yes, brother; it is easy to fly this one," he said. I gave him a proud grin and slapped him on his back.
"Get ready for departure!" I shouted.
Then everyone stopped as an older man walked into the ship.
"Captain Ky-Vesa, I am medic master. I have a medic assignment for your ship."
"Medic assignment?" I asked.
"Yes, every ship that is sent into battle has one on board. This one has experience treating weredragons."
As soon as he said it, I knew who it was. The redhead with the sparkling green eyes stepped on board behind the man. "Dr. Maltra, this is your assignment. I believe you are acquainted with this crew?" he said to her.
She looked at us and in her most professional tone, said, "Yes, I am. I'm ready to begin this assignment. Thank you, Superior," she said to him. He nodded to her and to us and then left the ship. Although I was happy to see her and enjoyed knowing she would be with us, I knew how dangerous this situation was. I pulled her aside and said, "No, Felicity, you are not going. We do not need a medic. Get off the ship go back to safety."
Her eyes narrowed at me and she said, "You do not order me about, Captain. This ship belongs to Earth and you will follow the Earth rules if you want to utilize it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have my supplies to put away."
I admired her defiance, but I could not focus if I did not know that she was safe. I would not be able to take the risk that I would take in order to defeat Ukir knowing that her life was in my hands. Every risky maneuver meant I could bring her death. I could not handle that.
"Felicity, you will listen to me and…"
SIREN! SIREN!
"Captain Ky-Vesa! That is the warning sound for launch. Thirty seconds!" Eral shouted.
I growled a deep growl knowing I did not have time to get Felicity off the ship. "Close the doors! Pressurize and angle for launch! Everyone, strap in!" I shouted. The crew followed my orders. I had to focus. I had to treat Felicity like she was any member of the crew or I would not get through this battle successfully.
"Launching in five, four, three, two, one..."
The ship shot into space with the Earth battalion in formation. Soon we were past the Earth moon, heading straight for the purist fleet.
Chapter 11
DR. FELICITY MALTRA
I was nervous as hell as I approached the battalion. There I found my master superior that had called me on my communication line after Drin had dropped a bombshell on me. His talk of his promise to his father broke my heart. I knew he thought he was doing right by me, by telling me the truth. But with the circumstances at hand and the fact that it might not matter anyway, it seemed like an unnecessary jab to my heart. It burned.
His words echoed in my mind that he would not be taking a human female as a serious mate. That he was in a way betrothed to a Drackon female that he had never met. It was his father’s dying wish. I would think his father would understand what it was to fall in love with a human female since he himself had experienced it. But I also understood re
gret. I understood having passion and looking out for your own ancient race. These thoughts barreled in my mind as I moved through the base.
The faster I walked toward the battalion, the angrier I grew. How dare Drin? How dare he do such amazing things to me sexually and emotionally, only to shit on them with this story about the promise? I understood about loyalty, and how he must feel so much guilt toward breaking this promise. But he did not need to pass that guilt on to me. I could have gone on blissfully without even knowing about it.
"Dr. Maltra reporting, sir," I said with a salute to my superior.
"Good, Dr. Maltra, you are in need. There is a battalion launching in about an hour. I need you to take an assignment as a medic on board one of the ships. We are expecting injury, and as you know, we don't send ships into battle without a medic on board."
As soon as he said it, I knew exactly which assignment I would be taking. I was one of the few doctors that had experience working on the Drackon’s unique bodies. Therefore, they would be assigning me to Captain Ky-Vesa. The bastard!
