“Oh!” I gasped as his tongue slipped into me and stroked against my sensitive little button. My hips bucked involuntarily, making his tongue stroke me again. God and Goddess, he was right—though I was overly sensitive between my thighs, his tongue was able to please me because it was so much softer than his fingers.
Ryse growled softly and looked up at me as I shifted my hips. As he held my eyes with his own, he licked me again.
“Ryse!” I gasped and somehow found that my fingers were in his hair, tugging him closer. It felt so good I didn’t want him to stop.
He made a deep, eager sound in his throat and pressed deeper. At the same time, his hands slid inward, and he parted me with his thumbs, baring my inner core to him completely. Then he gave me a long, firm lick with the flat of his tongue.
“Ohhh! God and Goddess!” I cried, my hips bucking again as my back arched and I pulled him closer.
My reaction seemed to drive Ryse crazy because he wound his arms around my legs, split my thighs even wider, and devoured me.
“Ryse! Oh Goddess!” I cried, calling his name like a prayer. Before I knew it, my fingers were locked in his thick black hair, and I was grinding shamelessly against his face. I lost myself completely as he pushed my pleasure higher and higher. My heart was pounding frantically and my whole body was tense with need. Close, I was getting so close…
Ryse seemed to know exactly what I needed. He growled hungrily as he sucked and licked me, nearly making me cry as my pleasure finally peaked, washing over me like a plume of dragon fire, burning me up from the inside out.
“Oh…Oh!” I cried, my back arching helplessly and my toes curling as fireworks exploded behind my eyes. I had never had such an intense orgasm, and it felt so good I didn’t know if I could stand it!
I don’t know how long the pleasure lasted but at last I collapsed, panting, feeling completely worn out.
“Mmm, how was that, little one?” Ryse placed one more tender kiss between my thighs before climbing onto the bed and gathering me into his arms.
“It was amazing,” I whispered, still slightly dazed. I looked up at him. “Is that how you felt when I tasted you? When I, er, sucked you?”
He rumbled laughter and stroked my hair out of my face.
“Oh, yes. I love the feeling of your mouth on me.”
“I love the feeling of yours on me too,” I admitted. I sighed happily and cuddled against him. I could hear his heartbeat in my ear, and I loved it.
“Good, because I love tasting your soft little pussy.”
Tilting my chin up, he kissed me gently on the lips and I tasted my own secret flavor on his mouth. It was delicious and I kissed him back eagerly.
In that moment, I knew that I had never felt so happy and secure in my life. I had a man who would keep my secret, who loved me unconditionally and I was bonded to a Golden Queen dragon. I hoped this peace and security would never end.
So of course it ended almost before I knew it.

AURORA
For the next few months, life went on as before. Ryse and I went to classes during the day and loved each other at night. Ryse found another dictionary and was making real progress on his translation and I was able to pull up my grades in my Battlefield Signaling class, mainly by making L’eesha behave herself.
In fact, my only point of concern was about my dragon—she was growing so fast.
“Never seen anything like it,” the Cavern Master said, scratching his head when he spoke to me about it. “Never seen a dragon grow and mature at this pace. It’s almost like her body is pushing her for a reason, but I’ll be damned if I know what it is.”
I looked at my dragon in concern as we spoke. She was currently making a messy meal of five large goat carcasses and enjoying herself thoroughly.
“She’s already bigger than a lot of the grown dragons,” the Cavern Master said to me. “She keeps on growing like this and she’ll definitely be the biggest dragon we’ve seen here in over a century.”
“Will that hurt her?” I asked anxiously. “Growing so fast and getting so big, I mean?”
“Nay, lad—it shouldn’t,” he said. “But I’ll wager she’s going to be ready to rise for a Mating Flight well before most females are.”
“A Mating Flight?” My heart started pounding. We hadn’t had a Mating Flight since the awful one that had left everyone so shaken. But another Flight could take place at any time. I just had to be sure I was near Ryse when it happened, I told myself.
But what would I do when L’eesha rose for the first time? Everyone knew that a dragon’s need to breed or to be bred would affect their rider with the same need. I didn’t know if I would be able to control myself when that time came.
