Doraya realised she’d known that from the changes in Fiami’s presence in her mind, but hadn’t spelt it out to herself. She was drowsy now, like Fiami, floating on the edge of sleep.
Nuriot leaned over and kissed her cheek. ‘Rest, beautiful Doraya.’
Feeling thankful, she slipped over the edge into the sea of dreams.
Over the next few weeks, Doraya spent one night with each of the dragon riders. Her introductions to the men were easier with advice from other women about who liked what. Some things were surprising, like the rider who wanted her to rub his cock with her feet and the one who liked to feel her fingers in his mouth as he fucked her, but nothing was troublesome. To her slight disappointment, Ricco and Adsel saw her separately rather than together, although both of them assured her they would soon get around to spending a night as a threesome. Most of the riders were relaxed about her mind-meld, and several shared Nuriot’s opinion that making love with her was exciting and different. A handful said they preferred to be with women who could help them maintain sexual control, but none of them were rude or unpleasant or made Doraya feel anything but welcome and wanted. She was happy that they were honest with her, and anyway, she agreed with them. Being with a different rider every night didn’t leave much time or energy for fun in the women’s caves, but now and again she and Mabbi found time for a little mutual exploration, and Doraya admired and learned from Mabbi’s skill in delaying her orgasms while enhancing the pleasure for them both.
Yet none of the riders took her thoughts away from Goril for long. Her heart leapt whenever she saw him in the dining cave. Now and again, he would catch her eye, smile, and wink mischievously. When he did that, she was sure he was thinking about the more intimate aspects of their time together, and the heat of the memories that evoked would make her blood run warm beneath her skin. During the occasional solitary night she spent in the women’s caves, while Goril was with another woman, her mind was full of pictures of him even when she wasn’t being forced to frig herself by Fiami’s amplified lust.
By the time Doraya had only a few more riders to meet, she began to wonder when she would be with Goril again. She thought she’d increased her levels of sexual control, but it was hard to tell when she was with a different man each night. She figured she’d find out for sure when she was back with Goril.
At last the day came when she only had one rider left to visit, and he was Caraden. She hadn’t seen much of him since he was chosen as senior dragon rider. He was usually closeted with other riders, discussing everything from provisions to politics. Tonight, though, he would be with Doraya. Then she would have spent time with every rider. Would she be with Goril tomorrow? Or the next day? She was more experienced now, with more to offer him, and she couldn’t wait to share some of what she had learned and to revisit the ecstasy of making love with a man who was melded to the same dragon as her.
When Doraya went to wash before dinner, she found Mabbi lounging in the pool. She sluiced herself down quickly under the waterfall and joined her friend, greeting her with a kiss which lingered and turned into several more kisses.
‘I’m with Ricco and Adsel tonight.’ Mabbi’s smile was full of happy anticipation. ‘Want to help me get in the mood?’
‘You’re always in the mood,’ Doraya teased.
‘Takes one to know one.’ Mabbi slid her hand slyly between Doraya’s thighs, making her jump. ‘Who are you with?’
‘Caraden. What does he like?’
‘Caraden already.’ Mabbi flicked Doraya’s nipple, making her jump again. ‘Isn’t he the last of the riders for you?’
‘Yes, I’ll have been with all of them then.’ Doraya tried to ignore Mabbi’s wandering hands, wanting to practise her control, but it was becoming more and more difficult.
‘In some ways you’ve saved the best for last. He’s got the best control of all the riders. It’s been a lifetime project for him.’
‘Is there anything I should know?’
Mabbi shook her head. ‘He’ll lead you. Just go with it. Being with him is like a rest for us because we don’t have to manage all the control. I don’t know how it will be for you, but I’m sure you’ll have a good time.’ She gave Doraya a lascivious look, brown eyes twinkling. ‘A little practice wouldn’t hurt, though.’
Doraya leaned over and took the weight of one of Mabbi’s bouncy breasts in her hand. She rolled Mabbi’s nipple gently between finger and thumb, which made Mabbi throw her head back and groan. There was one thing Doraya hadn’t tried yet that she wanted to experience, and this seemed like the ideal time, particularly as Fiami’s attention was elsewhere for the moment.
‘I want to lick your clit,’ she said.
‘All my dreams just came true,’ Mabbi said dramatically.
‘Out of the pool, then, or I’ll drown.’
Mabbi hauled herself onto the edge of the pool and lay with her legs apart. Doraya kissed her slowly, delving into Mabbi’s soft mouth with her tongue. Then she moved down to lick and suck each nipple in turn, using her fingers to tweak the nipple her mouth couldn’t reach, knowing how sensitive Mabbi’s nipples were. It wasn’t long before Mabbi was bucking and moaning, which was such a turn-on for Doraya that her juices ran and Fiami began to take notice, so she moved on down, leaving a trail of kisses over Mabbi’s belly. Mabbi was begging incoherently now, and Doraya could smell her appealing scent of clean musk.
Mabbi’s quim was soft and delectable. Doraya licked along each of Mabbi’s labia, then around the entrance to her cunt, determined to take her time despite Fiami’s insistence that she seek satisfaction. Mabbi, too, was feeling an urgent need, pushing her hips toward Doraya’s face and pleading for Doraya to suck her clit. Doraya pushed a finger into Mabbi’s sopping cunt, then another and a third. She had never been so close to a woman’s intimate opening, and she thought perhaps Mabbi could take still more, so she tried a fourth finger, then her thumb. It was tight, but not too tight, so very slowly she pushed her whole hand into Mabbi’s cunt. Mabbi’s hips stilled, and her whole body quivered as she gave low, guttural moans. Doraya, ignoring the questing animal between her own legs, gently rotated her hand, and gave Mabbi’s clit an experimental lick, which made Mabbi’s moans intensify. Her clit was large and distended, so Doraya took it gently between her lips and began to nibble and suck on it as if it were a nipple. Mabbi’s moans intensified further, and Doraya knew her peak was near. She fought down thoughts of her own arousal and continued to suck and lick Mabbi’s clit and rotate her hand in Mabbi’s cunt for a few more moments until Mabbi came in waves as strong as a dragon’s wingbeats, screaming in ecstasy and contracting so hard around Doraya’s hand that Doraya wondered whether she would ever get it out again.
As soon as she could, she withdrew her hand and began to use it to frig her own cunt. Mabbi was lost in her aftershocks, eyes half- closed, and Doraya wanted to hold her but couldn’t keep Fiami’s urging at bay any longer. She compromised by stroking Mabbi’s face and kissing her friend’s forehead.
‘I’m sorry, Mabbi,’ she said, her voice ragged. ‘I have to—’
‘Do what you need,’ Mabbi whispered.
On impulse, Doraya lifted one of her own breasts to Mabbi’s mouth. Mabbi’s head turned, her mouth opened, and she sucked on Doraya’s nipple as if by reflex. Doraya watched the delightful sight of her friend’s lips and tongue working on her ample breast as she continued to frig herself, knowing her own peak was approaching.
‘Oh, Mabbi, yes, please, keep doing that. It’s perfect. I’m so close now, oh, oohhhh, oooohhhhhhhh!’
Doraya bucked her hips against her hand as she came hard and collapsed next to her friend, her head on Mabbi’s shoulder. Her movements slowed with her breathing until she was just rocking her hips gently back and forth.
Mabbi lifted her head and turned to look at Doraya. ‘You’re not done yet, are you?’
‘Fiami’s still very interested,’ Doraya said apologetically.
‘Doesn’t sound like
a problem to me.’ Mabbi grinned. ‘Let’s get back in the pool.’
They slid into the water together and embraced, kissing each other’s mouths and cheeks and eyes, hands stroking hair, breasts and thighs meeting in the warm rippling water. Doraya enjoyed the sensual feeling of her friend’s body on hers. Mabbi seemed to have curves in all the right places. She was stroking Doraya’s breasts now, brushing her nipples lightly, teasing and cajoling unfamiliar sensations from beneath Doraya’s skin. Doraya inserted one of her thighs between Mabbi’s and pressed her pussy onto Mabbi’s leg, moving her hips to achieve maximum stimulation on her clit while Mabbi did the same. She loved this mutual action, knowing that Mabbi would be feeling much the same, remembering and now understanding what Nuriot and others had said about how they could be surer of themselves sexually when they were with someone of the same gender.
Mabbi’s hands were on Doraya’s buttocks, stroking and kneading. That felt good, so she did the same for Mabbi, whose buttocks felt surprisingly strong and muscular. Then she squeaked in surprise as Mabbi slid a finger between her cheeks and placed it on her pucker. Suddenly she wanted to be penetrated there, in her arse, more than anything.
‘I’ll do yours if you’ll do mine,’ Mabbi whispered in her ear.
Doraya felt around Mabbi’s buttocks and found her pucker, like a little tight ring between her cheeks. Mabbi was ahead of her, penetrating her arse, which made her squeak and move her hips more quickly in search of greater stimulation. Doraya pushed her finger gently into Mabbi’s arse and found it tight at the entrance and more open inside. She pushed her finger in as far as she could, which made Mabbi moan with pleasure, then began a gentle out-and-in movement. Mabbi’s moans intensified again. Doraya didn’t know where to focus. One minute she was concentrating on her own pleasure, the next on Mabbi’s beautiful arousal. She could feel Mabbi’s pebble-hard nipples pressing into her own breasts. Fiami’s lust was huge in her mind, and she knew she was close, but even so, her orgasm took her by surprise, washing through her like a sudden storm. This time Mabbi took a little longer to come, and Doraya enjoyed her own aftershocks as she continued to pleasure her friend, until Mabbi’s body clenched on hers and she screamed with delight as she came. Sneakily, Doraya slid her free hand in between Mabbi’s legs and stroked her clit, immediately eliciting another orgasm from her friend who collapsed into her arms, laughing and begging her to stop.
‘Enough!’ Mabbi gasped. ‘And you won’t often hear me say that. I hope you’re done yourself?’
‘I am.’ Fiami had turned her attention to food, so Doraya could rest.
Mabbi pulled Doraya close with a contented sigh, and they lay back together in the warm water.
‘I’m so glad you came to us,’ Mabbi said.
‘Me too.’
Later, at dinner, Doraya watched Caraden as he talked with other riders. He was a handsome man, muscular as all the dragon riders, with broad shoulders, slim hips, and thick, silver hair which complemented his tanned skin and golden eyes. Goril and Nuriot were deep in conversation at the same table, their mops of hair close together as they discussed something with great seriousness. Ricco and Adsel bantered and laughed at another table. She knew all the riders now and enjoyed watching the interactions between them.
When dinner was over, Caraden came to escort Doraya into the men’s caves. As she walked with him, she caught Goril’s eye and he flashed her a twinkling smile. Tomorrow, my love, or maybe the next day. Surely no longer.
* * * *
Goril returned to his bedcave, warmed by his sight of Doraya and his knowledge that the next day they would be together again. How lucky it seemed now that she had melded with Fiami, although he remembered with a shiver how it had terrified him at the time. Now, though, it meant that he had several nights with her to look forward to, and that felt like luxury. Most of his nights had been long and lonely since Alda died. Fiami’s basic attitude to life did help, but still he missed his Papa’s wisdom and affection so much, particularly when he was alone. Talking with Nuriot or Saban about Alda always helped, but everyone else seemed to have moved on.
Spending a few days with Doraya, and travelling to King Tinis’s castle, would take his mind off his grief. Goril’s heart lifted at the thought of flying again with Fiami and Doraya. He felt Fiami’s longing to fly and sent her a mental message. Soon, Fiami, soon. Tomorrow, in fact.
How would Doraya manage the politics of travelling as a dragon rider’s woman? There was no precedent, at least not in living memory. Should he ask King Tinis for information from the archives? Goril rubbed his chin while he considered this, and eventually decided not to. Better that he and Doraya make their own standards. They would need time to talk on the way. Goril thought through the route and decided where they would stop, by a tarn where Fiami could drink. Also, that would give them time to become reacquainted with each other. As Goril considered the form he would like that reacquaintance to take, his cock began to harden pleasurably. He stretched out his legs and ran his hands down his body to release the drawstring of his breeches, thinking of all the things he would like to do with his beautiful Doraya.
Chapter Five
Caraden’s golden eyes didn’t twinkle, but his gaze was warm and affectionate as he took the chair across from her by the fire in his bedcave.
‘So, Doraya, we have quite a lot in common, you and I.’
‘We do?’ She was surprised.
He nodded. ‘We have both experienced big changes in our lives without looking for them.’
‘I wanted to be a dragon rider’s woman,’ she said.
‘I know, and I am glad of it. You didn’t seek the mind-meld, though.’
Doraya opened her mouth and shut it again. She’d got so used to living with Fiami in her mind that from time to time she actually forgot about the huge dragon’s presence.
‘It must have been very difficult for you,’ Caraden went on. ‘I think you have managed admirably.’
‘I’ve had a lot of help,’ Doraya said.
He smiled. ‘You are modest.’
‘It’s true,’ she insisted.
Caraden held up his hands with a grin. ‘Peace. We’ll leave it there. Instead, let’s talk about your travels with Goril. Tomorrow I want the two of you to fly to King Tinis’s castle.’
Doraya sat forward, excitement growing inside her. ‘Isn’t that in the mountains?’
‘It is. What else do you know of Tinis’s kingdom?’
‘Goril told me about it, and Alda did too. How they value learning.’
‘That’s why I want you to go there first. They will be interested in you, and they may know why you melded with Fiami when other women didn’t meld with any dragon. And then’—his gaze was serious now—‘there is our great need for more women.’
‘I hope I can help.’ Doraya’s seriousness matched his own. ‘I will do whatever I can.’
‘Thank you. I cannot advise you, and neither can Goril or any of us, because we have never spent time with the women in any of the kingdoms. But you have, and as you are also a woman yourself, I hope you will be able to help us change this situation.’ Caraden leaned forward, elbows on his knees. ‘The essential principle, though, must hold true. No woman must be coerced into coming here.’
‘I wouldn’t think of trying,’ Doraya said. ‘Everyone here seems to get on so well, I think that could be spoiled if people were forced to join us.’
Caraden relaxed visibly as she spoke. ‘You are wise beyond your years, young Doraya, and beautiful, too.’ He dropped his gaze to her ample breasts, cupped by her dress into a pleasing display. ‘I have taken advantage of your mind. Now it’s time I took advantage of your body.’
He stood and held out a hand to pull her up to join him. Taking her face in between his hands, he bent to possess her mouth, his kiss demanding, exploring, controlling. Doraya responded hesitantly, unsure whether she should be responding at all, except that her body wanted to, more and more with each passing moment.
‘I love to see a woman off-balance,’ he said. ‘It’s one of the sexiest sights in the world.’
Before Doraya could reply, he possessed her mouth again, and as quickly withdrew. Her body was in turmoil, but she didn’t seem able to move.
‘Take off your dress,’ Caraden ordered.
As soon as she had lifted her garment over her head, Caraden’s hand was around her long red hair, drawing it together at the nape of her neck and wrapping its length around his hand to hold her steady. With his other hand, he began to caress her breasts. Her nipples hardened, and her thighs quivered. She pressed them together which led to delightful sensations in her clit, and she couldn’t help but wriggle.
‘Be still!’ Caraden was stern. ‘Feet apart.’
‘I can’t—’
‘You will find that you can if you just do what you’re told. If you don’t, then your punishment will be worse.’
‘Please—’
‘Quiet and still. That’s your task until I tell you otherwise.’
Doraya tried to remain motionless and silent, but when Caraden slid one finger onto her clit, she couldn’t help but shiver. He rotated his fingertip gently, and she let out a tiny moan.
‘You are not given to obedience, are you, Doraya?’
Anger boiled inside her. That wasn’t fair. She was doing her best. ‘Fiami—’
‘I have a dragon, too, don’t forget,’ Caraden said. ‘I am every bit as turned on as you.’ He pressed his hips against her side for a moment, and she could feel the outline of his big, cock hard beneath his breeches. ‘It is possible to learn control.’ He possessed her mouth again for a moment then leaned down quickly to flick one nipple with his tongue, making her shiver again. ‘Although I have to say, young Doraya, that I’m in no hurry for you to learn.’ His finger was still providing gentle massage for her clit, and she thought she would sink to the floor if he was not holding her up by her hair. ‘It’s actually more fun tormenting you than the other women who have had to learn control.’
