The Draglen Brothers - DRAKEN (BK 1)

by Solease Barner

  “I want to speak with Draken, right now!”

  “Okay, then you have to come to my land, that’s the only way,” he snaps. “I so want to hate you, but Draken made me promise, but if he dies, then so will you.”

  “What are you talking about? You’re still talking about Draken dying? Showken, stop saying that!”

  “It’s true, he has already killed Ravla, because he feels she was the cause of your not wanting him, and he waits for his own death. I refuse to be a part of it, so my father has taken my place. I’m here to settle our business affairs. We will never return to this land again.” He stares at me, and his eyes turn really green. I see that he is telling the truth. What have I done? I will do it, I will go. I can’t let him die.

  “Showken, take me to Draken, right now,” I say, shaking. I’m not even dressed for this. Shit. I should have worn something other than shorts and a shirt.

  “You serious?”

  “Yes, let’s go before I change my mind. You better be telling the truth, or I’m going to kick your dragon ass and still find a way home. I’m not saying I will be with Draken, I just don’t want him doing anything for me.” Showken picks me up and starts swinging me around. I hear the growl and so does he. He puts me down fast.

  “Sorry,” he says, pulling out a round case about the size of a powder compact. He pulls me close and says, “hold on.” It’s like something out a movie, we are moving faster than anything. I’m screaming the entire time, knowing this was a bad idea. I can hear Draken’s growl getting louder. Showken’s face is turning green. Shit, it’s his dragon. We finally make it, and I need to vomit. We end up outside some sort of huge stadium. I lean over and puke my guts out.

  “Cess, come on, the ceremony is starting.” Showken pulls me in through a door and it’s beautiful, the walls shine with jewels of all different colors. I can hear a man talking, and his voice is commanding and scary. Showken continues to pull me along, and we enter the stadium. Draken is tied to a huge pole that looks like it’s going to touch the sky, and he is in full dragon. That’s why he can’t talk, he is in dragon form. There are dragons around him in all colors, even one that looks crystal clear. Holy shit, he is going to die.

  “Showken, what is happening?”

  “I told you, they are going to burn him all at once, that is the only way.”

  “No, they won’t!” I lose my mind, these things are like huge over me, I’m surrounded by dinosaurs. Showken is right with me. I begin yelling for everyone to stop, but that is when the fire starts to come from the dragons surrounding him. Oh no, I’m too late.

  DRAKEN

  “DRAAAKEN!!” She’s here! I gather my strength and start firing back, but I’m weak. I’m not going to make it. When I see my brother, Showken, who would not stand, I’m pleased. He changes into a dragon, and starts hitting my other brothers with fire. Princess is screaming and crying. I need to go to her. I roar loudly. Showken is fighting with them, and my father stops burning me. I break free, the chains falling to the ground. I’m badly hurt. She does love me. I knew she loved me. My dragon is so weak. I can’t protect her. Showken will do it, I see him standing in front of her.

  “You killed him, you killed him, please Draken, don’t die, I love you, I love you!”

  Showken stands there protecting her from the others, humans are not allowed in this arena. Please, Showken, protect my wella, keep her safe. Showken roars, causing some of my brothers to take a step back. Everyone thinks Showken is all smiles, but when he is dragon, he is all beast, and very deadly if he has to be.

  “Showken, I need to get to Draken. Please, I need you to help me, don’t let them harm me!” I see my mother coming towards Princess; she helps her from the ground. I feel Princess’ hesitation.

  “You are the one, the human who has my son’s heart, no harm will come to you. I will make sure. Come, I’ll take you to the center so you can see your prince.”

  “Okay.” Princess shakes as she walks past the others, who snarl as she passes them. My mother corrects them.

  “Do not dishonor me, children, my son’s wella has come!” she says firmly, smiling at Princess. I growl as I smell her fear of this place. I will make her feel comfortable as soon as I get my strength. She comes close and begins to cry. I hate her crying.

  “I love you, Draken. Please live,” she says. I will live, Princess, I will, I say in my head.

  “He says he will,” my mother says, nudging her closer to me.

  “He is hurt so bad, will he live?” Princess asks.

  “You ask too many questions, go to your prince and reassure him,” my mother says, pushing her forward. Each step she takes makes me happy my Princess came. She comes to me and begins rubbing my head.

  “Draken, you are hurt so bad and you can’t talk right now. I love you, Draken, and I’m so angry you would die on me like this. When you heal I’m going to kill you.” She leans over, lays her hands on my huge neck and cries harder. I whimper in pain and joy, for I have my Princess. She is amazing, risking her life for me. I open my eyes, turning my beast head to see her. She looks at me with a smile that heals my heart instantly. I feel her hands exploring my dragon.

  “Draken, they really were going to kill you. I’m not afraid of this, I mean your beast, it’s very pretty.” I huff a little, to let her know pretty is not want I want to hear. “Oh, you don’t like pretty, well, I have no other way to explain it, so suck it up. The shades of purple are amazing. I can’t wait till you heal, so I can really touch you,” she says, and I can feel her love. I look at my brothers as they observe her, wondering. I’m sure now we have a human that will sit on the throne one day as Queen. My Father has shifted, and I sense his presence near Princess.

  “Hello, my son’s wella, well, soon to be wella.” my Father looks her up and down, and smiles, giving his approval of Princess. She has a terrific body. I can’t wait until I can shift, so I can really touch that body. Princess looks at him with wonder. My father’s hair does not look as if he is over forty years old. His hair is long and black, showing very small hints of silver. My father is very handsome, even at his age of 734.

  “Hi,” she says, and her voice is the best thing in the world. Who would have thought I could want someone as badly as I want her? I want her in every way.

  “I’m King Dramen, Draken’s Father.”

  “Oh, wait, King?” She turns and looks at me. “You’re a prince, too? Wow, you just keep all this information to yourself?” I think she is mad, but I see her smile as she turns back to my father, who is still looking at her in awe.

  “Umm, hello, King Dramen, right? I’m not good with names, so I’m sorry.”

  “You said it right, now your name? I’ve been told it’s not Cess, as we thought, so what is your full name?” my father asks. I puff, and purple smoke comes from my mouth and nostrils. I know my Princess doesn’t like her name, but she has a beautiful name, and very fitting in this situation.

  “Well, you’re right, Cess is my nickname and the name I prefer, but my full name is Princess Frances Lamil, sir,” she says, fidgeting. I don’t like her fidgeting; I let out a growl to get them to back the fuck off her. She made a very big decision to come here.

  “What a very fitting name for you, Princess Frances, if you prefer Cess, I will grant you that wish, as you did come and make my son, who is the heir to the throne, change his mind about life. For that, we must prepare a huge celebration for you. I don’t think my son likes my asking questions, that growl is for me. So I will let you stay with him. His brothers will move him soon, so he may heal. He is not allowed to shift until he is completely healed, which I suspect will be a few days,” my father says, with a smile. Princess smiles back, and I relax a little. I think they are telling her too much, I don’t want her ever to regret coming here.

  “Thank you, but you don’t have to give me a party. I don’t need anything for coming here to stop him from doing something foolish. I am shocked he will be in this state for a couple of days,
but that does mean he can’t be all demanding and stuff,” Princess says, turning and giving me a wink. I growl again, hating that I can’t grab her and take her to my room and make sweet love to her until she can’t walk. Princess doesn’t understand, my father was not giving her an option.

  “Cess, when Draken heals, we will celebrate,” he says, arching a brow. He is not going to argue with her. “Cess, maybe we should have a talk soon, just you and I, would you be willing?” Fuck! He knows to ask this when I can’t talk. I let out a very loud roar, and Princess jumps. I didn’t mean to scare her. They need to leave her alone.

  “My son is very possessive of you, maybe I will have to allow him in on the conversation.”

  “I think that will make me more comfortable as well,” Princess says. I glance at Showken, who has transformed back into human form right in front of everyone. It’s commonly done, but Princess is watching with huge eyes. A servant gives him a wrap for his waist. I wish I could heal faster. Showken comes up to me, smiling.

  “Hey, brother, we need to move you out of the stadium so you can get your wounds looked at. I will make sure Cess gets there.” I growl and nudge him with my nose. If he thinks Princess is going out of my sight or touch, Showken is asking for trouble when I heal.

  “Cess, my brother does not want you to be away from him, not even for a minute.”

  “Draken, it’s okay, I will be right behind you, I promise.”

  “Cess, you’re going to have to get on his back as we carry him out. Draken . . . Draken will kick my ass if you don’t, he wants your touch right now.”

  “You really love your brother, Showken, I would give you a kiss right now, but I remember what happened to Scott, so I will blow you a kiss.” Princess blows him a kiss, and I hear all my brothers growl in a laughing way. Princess is so in trouble. Showken reaches up like he has caught it, and puts on a big smile. I let out a fast spit of fire, Showken moves before it can hit him, my brother is testing me.

  “Ahh, my brother is gaining strength, Cess, don’t do that again. I’m already in trouble because you’ve seen me naked,” Showken says, and Princess blushes. SHIT!

  “Okay, if I get on him, umm, I’m scared. I don’t know.” She turns and looks at me. “Draken, I’m scared to get on you, I mean you’re already hurt and, umm, I might fall.” Showken tells her she will be fine, I can see the panic in her eyes.

  “Cess, you won’t fall off when you climb on, in fact, it will make you one with him.”

  “What?” Princess says, looking more confused. I really need to talk. Nobody can explain it to her.

  “Trust me, now we must hurry, I’m sure my brother wants to get started on healing, and my other brothers can’t shift, because they have to carry him.”

  “How many brothers do you have, I mean it seems like a lot.”

  “There are nine boys altogether, including Draken, and one girl.”

  “Oh, wow. I guess I don’t have a choice. Wait, my family! What do they think has happened to me?”

  “They think Draken took you out of town to propose.”

  I need to figure out how to propose to Princess, the right way.

  “You knew I would come?” Cess says to Showken.

  “No, my mother said you would come.”

  My mother only suspected she would come. It was not a certainty, because Princess was so unsure.

  “Where is she? I must say thank you.” Princess is going to fit right in.

  “You will have your chance.” Showken comes closer and gets on his knees by my neck, to let Princess climb on my back.

  “Showken, you sure I won’t fall?” Princess asks. Showken just looks at her.

  “Okay, Draken, I’m climbing on you. That sounds dirty,” she says, smiling. Yes, it’s dirty, Princess, but with you dirty is what I want. She places her foot on Showken’s shoulder and begins to pull on my beast to get a good hold. I sigh, for her touch is remarkable. “This is a huge necklace around your neck, Draken. All of the different jewels are beautiful,” she says, holding tight. I see my brothers approaching and I feel her tensing up, their size is scaring her.

  “I need to pee really bad, I’m going to close my eyes until I’m back on the ground,” she says, out loud to anyone listening. My brothers pick me up, moving me to an area for dragons to heal. I’m laid on a purple platform. I see the servants come, waiting for Princess to move as they use a spray on me.

  “Cess, they are going to spray Draken with a liquid that will help him heal faster.”

  “Oh, I guess my face showed my concern. Who are these people, are they dragons too?” Shit, Showken, let me tell her. Layern has changed and comes walking in. Great!

  “Showken, Draken would like to tell Cess some things, besides, he is really annoyed right now. He hates that he is in this state,” Layern says, standing a few steps away. I hope he doesn’t think I’m angry with him.

  “No, Draken, I’m fine.” I roll my eyes at Showken to reassure him I’m not angry with him at all. “Draken, I’m going to go and make sure Cess has all she needs brought to her immediately,” Layern says, leaving the cavern.

  As Showken and Princess stand back, Showken hands her a covering for her entire body. It will protect her from the spray. She’s not from this land, so it could harm her if she is not covered.

  “What is this for?” she asks.

  “Draken will explain more later, but you will be able to see and breathe, but you must put this on before they can spray him,” Showken says, gesturing with hands for her to put it on. Princess is always asking questions.

  “Okay, I’ll put it on,” she says, struggling with the covering. One of the servants comes and helps her. “Thank you,” she says. They are not allowed to speak unless given permission, so she turns to help with the spray. Once I’m sprayed, the pain starts to go away, and I feel myself getting drowsy. Princess must notice, because she pats me.

  “Draken, rest. I won’t leave, besides, I’m scared to leave. Your land is very pretty, but I feel like not everyone is happy I’m here. So I won’t go wandering around. I want you to rest, I may take a nap myself.” I growl in approval. I would know for sure she is safe and not taking a walk. We both sigh and I know she, too, is tired. She snuggles up really close, and I close my eyes to sleep.

  ***

  For the next two days, Princess eats with me and sleeps next to me. My beast is so pleased. She even takes a tour of me, walking around my entire beast, examining everything she can. I love her conversations, and I just listen. “I didn’t come planning to stay, but I’m here now, and can’t imagine ever being without you.” That makes my beast smile and roar. It’s pleasing to know she wants to be here.

  The time goes by slowly. I finally get the strength to shift back, Princess is asleep. I grab a wrap to cover up, and I pick her up to take her to my bed. She looks so beautiful asleep. I call for fruit and wine to be brought to my room. I need to wash this blood off me. I take a shower and am out fast. I climb into bed and begin planting soft kisses on her neck.

  “Draken, you back?” she says, waking up.

  “I never was gone, Princess, just in another form,” I say, attacking those soft lips and pushing my tongue into her mouth. I need her now. I start removing her shirt, grabbing her breast hard. I want her to be sure it’s me, that it’s real. I remove her bra, and a moan escapes her mouth. I go back to her mouth, kissing gently.

  “Draken, I’m so happy. I love you touching me, please,” she whispers.

  “I’ve wanted you, it seems like forever.” I pull off her shorts and panties together. Spreading her legs apart, I see the shine of her arousal, all for me.

  “How do you want me, Princess, do you want it rough, slow, tell me how you want me and your wish will be granted.” I see the blush rising, and I like that sight. She likes that. I whisper more. “I want to lick you all over, not missing a single spot, and Princess, rest assured I won’t miss a spot. I want you to climax until you think you can’t, and then I’ll give y
ou two more. I want to lick your treasure until you scream and beg me to stop. Most of all, I need to have those legs around my waist as I fill you, rocking you into paradise. Would that be fine, Princess?”

  “Yes, please.” I smile, moving to her feet, and begin with her toes, sucking each one, making sure to bite softly. “Draken, I’ve missed you.”

  “I missed you more.” I continue my assault on those perfect feet, then long sucks on her calves. I want her to be pleased. I squeeze her thighs as I plant soft kisses, moving closer to her sex, which is radiating heat. Yes, I will take my time with her today, and tonight.

  CESS

  Oh, Draken is going to have me screaming. I don’t know when I got to this room. I assume it’s his, as everything is purple and gold, but I can’t even look around, Draken is sucking my feet again. “Ohhh, yes, this is amazing.” I can’t help myself. Draken runs his hands up the inner part of my thighs, placing a thumb inside me as another finger massages my clitoris. I become extremely hot. This feels so good.

  “Climax, Princess,” he says, and I do. His mouth is at my sex, licking and sucking as I come. As it comes to an end, Draken continues to suck hard. “Yes, Princess, I had to taste you, it’s been so long.” He leans down, kissing me deeply. I can taste myself on his lips and on his tongue. I feel him entering me, and I yell out in pleasure, “AHHHHHHH!”

  “I love you, Princess, you’re mine forever.” I meet him with each thrust, in . . . out . . . in . . . out. He begins to twist inside me, and it drives me insane. Oh, my . . . he goes deeper inside, stills for a second, and then pulls my legs around his neck, turning his head and biting my legs as he continues to thrust harder, deeper.

  “Say it, Cess,” he says,

  “Draken,” I say, panting.

  “Louder!”
