Fireside
It was cold that night.
Colder than Eloise ever thought she had been before.
Perhaps, she thought, it is just my imagination. It can’t really be this cold.
Eloise curled tighter under the thread bare blanket. Trying to make sure that the blanket protected her whole body from the cold was a futile mission.
There was a warm body nearby but Eloise refused to cuddle up with his scaly ass.
Today had to be the worst day of her life.
“Eloise, darling! It is an honor to be selected by a dragon to mate! You should be enjoying this night!” Her father bellowed happily, drunk on the fancy drink he had bought with the money that the dragon gave to her family.
Eloise was more nervous than happy. She tried to smile a few times but it just wouldn’t stick.
Being selected to mate with a dragon shifter was a great honor in her village. She should be happy. No longer would she have to worry about what she was going to do with her life. She would be what her people called a Dragon’s Princess, sitting up in her dragon’s castle and being a wife and mother for him and their children.
Eloise didn’t know if she was okay with that.
She knew how to sew, crochet, knit, cook, and clean almost everything. Her mother and grandmothers saw to that.
But what no one had seen fit to teach her was how to please a man, let alone a dragon!
What was she to do tonight? What was she supposed to wear? Did the red nightgown look better against her skin, or the blue? Who could she ask all these questions to? Not her mother or grandmothers! They would laugh and say something silly with a wink and Eloise would be right were she started. Lost!
A hand resting on her shoulder, pulled Eloise out of her thoughts.
“Are you ready to be married, my lovely ember?” The dragon shifter, Julian, asked her in a quiet tone.
“Sure,” Eloise muttered, as the butterflies in her stomach decided to do a somersault trick. Eloise took the hand offered to help her stand and walked with the dragon to the front of the room where all the marriage ceremonies of today were taking place.
“He got a nice piece of ass.” Eloise heard one of the village boys say before she heard a growl and Julian was squeezing her butt.
“Ow.” Eloise hissed under her breath and Julian loosened his grip.
“Sorry.” Julian said quietly to her, but Eloise’s face was already red with embarrassment from the ordeal happening not only in front of her whole family but in front of the whole village.
Eloise and Julian went through their vows quickly and afterwards went straight to his castle, not stopping for a minute to visit with her family.
Eloise took one look at the bedroom and refused to go in. Tonight she didn’t care if she got a sore back from sleeping on a cold stone floor. She was not going to sleep with a dragon that carried her off as if she were the spoils of war!
Eloise took a blanket for the linen closet and made herself comfortable leaning up against the wall in the sitting room.
Eventually she did doze off. She dreamed of being held in Julian’s strong arms while moaning his name to the ceiling for some reason.
Why would I be doing that, she wondered before she felt like she was being picked up.
Immediately Eloise’s eyes opened and she push against Julian’s warm, bare chest.
“The hell are you doing?” She cursed at him.
“Stop fighting me, woman, or I might just drop you.” Eloise thought about it for a second. Julian wasn’t actively hurting her for the moment, just carrying her around. She stopped pushing against him, for the moment. “That’s better,” Julian sighed, “I fear that I have not started this marriage of on a good foot. I wish to make that up to you.”
Julian set Eloise down on a mattress set up near the fireplace. Julian gave Eloise a worried look. Next to the flames of the fire place her skin looked a little too pale. Had he waited to long to move her?
“What is it?” Eloise hissed pulling the blanket closer to her, thinking he didn’t like what he saw. He didn’t, but not in the way she thought.
“Are you hungry?” Julian asked, going to where he had sat down some food from the kitchen. Food is good for keeping the body warm, he thought. Julian kneeled on the mattress next to Eloise and started to hand feed her the sandwiches that he had prepared a little while ago.
“I can feed myself,” Eloise said after a few of the tiny sandwiches passed her lips.
“I’m not so sure,” Julian’s voice rumbled in his chest. “You see a perfectly good bed in the bedroom and you come into the sitting room to sleep.”
“I am not sleeping with you tonight!” Eloise said, turning on her side and refusing to eat any more of the sandwiches. She didn’t know that Julian was getting a nice view of her ass.
“Why not?” Julian almost sounded whiny.
“You embarrassed me in-” Her face was red, her hair was wild, she looked like a perfectly burning ember, Julian thought as he rose to meet her in her fury and kissed her square on the lips.
The kiss went on for a few moments before Eloise’s anger was quenched and Julian felt her relaxing into him. That’s when he broke off the kiss.
“I said I wanted to make it up to you and I mean what I said.” Julian said against her lips as he went in to kiss her again, more softly this time.
Eloise melted under his touch, falling back onto the mattress and Julian followed her. He tugged the blanket out from in between them. He took care of the button on his pants at the same time.
Eloise didn’t work on removing her dress, but Julian turned her over and began pulling at each individual string until the dress hung on her shoulders.
“Turn around and strip for me, ember.” Julian growled close to her ear.
Eloise sat there for a moment, flushed. He wants to see me naked, she balked. Of course he wants to see you naked, idiot! Did you think you would make children with clothes on?
Eloise slowly turned and let the dress fall in a pool on the mattress, before stepping out of the pool. Julian pushed the dress off the bed and helped Eloise lay back down.
Eloise felt embarrassed by her breasts just laying out for Julian to look his fill so she wrapped an arm around her chest to at least cover her nipples.
Julian growled and took the offending arm by the wrist to move it above Eloise’s head. Julian licked his lips while gazing down at her puckering nipples, before coming down to take one in his mouth.
He circled, licked, and teased the puckering flesh until Eloise was moaning and squirming underneath him. When Eloise finally thought she couldn’t stand the teasing anymore, Julian grazed her nipple with his teeth and let it go in a wet pop!
Eloise groaned as the cold air of the castle brushed her wet nipple and seemed to make it harden even more. Julian began the same treatment to her opposite nipple and began massaging the first breast.
Eloise arched into Julian’s warm hand and mouth. She didn’t know that lovemaking with a dragon shifter would feel this good. She moaned to the ceiling as Julian pinch her sensitive nipple and pulled. He let the second nipple go with another wet pop!
Eloise let out a tiny squeal as Julian blew on the second nipple to speed up the hardening process.
Julian didn’t pinch the second nipple as he did the first one but instead started a trail of kisses down Eloise’s torso, starting with just under her boob. That caused a shiver to go up Eloise’s back in anticipation of what Julian was leading up to.
Julian traveled down Eloise’s torso in a zig-zag design, trying to make sure that he kissed every inch of her belly before reaching his prize, the mound between her legs.
Julian first gave the covered mound a kiss before using his thumbs to open the mound and kiss the throbbing clit that was ready for his attention.
Julian flicked the clit with his tongue before plunging his tongue into Eloise’s vagina.
Eloise’s hips bucked into his face as the sensation over took her. Julian grabbed Eloise’s hips and held them in place on the mattress. He didn’t want his ember to orgasm without him inside her.
“Please!” Eloise whined in need of relief from the pressure building in her abdomen.
Using one arm to hold Eloise in place, Julian freed his other hand. His tongue continued to play with her clit as he slid one long, calloused finger in her vagina. He pumped the finger in and out slowly until he felt she was ready for another finger.
Eloise tensed as she felt Julian push in a third finger. This whole time Julian managed to keep his pants on but she could see the bulge. Was all the rumors about dragon shifters true? Was his dick really that big? And then she lost all thought as his fingers grazed against her G-spot as he pulled them out for the last time.
Julian stood up long enough to take off his pants. He had gone commando so there was no underwear to remove. He was back on the mattress with Eloise in seconds.
Julian lifted her legs as if to get the best angle possible to join his dick and her pussy. His dick rubbed against her slick pussy a few times before he guided it into her entrance.
Julian entered her pussy slowly to give Eloise time to adjust to his girth. Eloise moaned in pleasure at the filling feeling and bit her lip in pain as the entirety of Julian’s dick was sheathed in her hot center.
“Let me know when I can move,” Julian growled in her ear.
Eloise did take a minute before she wiggled her hips and whined, “You can move now.”
Julian pulled his dick nearly all the way out, only leaving the head inside, before plunging back in roughly.
Eloise let out a small scream at the rough movement but moaned again as Julian began the process of pulling his dick out and shoving it in again.
He repeated the process until he built up a rhythm.
“I’m going to explode!” Eloise whined, as her hips bucked to meet Julian’s every stroke.
Julian reached a hand in between them and began to rub her sensitive clit furiously. “Cum for me, ember,” he growled.
Eloise shivered again as the orgasm over took her body. Every muscle in her body felt like it was singing.
Julian kept his dick sheathed in her pussy until his seed was firmly implanted tonight. He didn’t want to miss a chance of impregnating her. The humans didn’t realize that dragon shifters were technically an endangered species, and that’s why his kind started choosing wives among the the humans. They needed to reproduce or they would go extinct.
Julian pulled a blanket that he had taken from the bedroom around him and his new wife, as they both dozed off to sleep.
“Ow, ow, ow!” Eloise whined as Julian helped her up the next morning. He ended up picking her up bridal style and carrying her into the bedroom.
“I tried not to hurt you last night. Hopefully it’s just muscle soreness,” Julian said setting her down gently on their bed. “What do you want to eat this morning, so we can give you some Advil?”
“This is the funniest thing but I feel like sugared yams this morning.” Eloise said after a moment of thinking. “I hate yams.”
“Cravings have already begun!” Julian smiled, patting her belly.
Eloise froze for a second. “Does it usually happen this fast with dragon shifters? How long until the baby is here?”
“Usually if both parents are dragons about 3 months. I have a few friends who have human wives and it takes them about 6 months to deliver a healthy baby.” Julian said. “I’ll be right back with your breakfast, ember.” He said giving her a kiss on the forehead.
Thank you for reading Fireside, my snowflakes! I don’t know if I will continue this storyline or not but I definitely enjoyed writing this scene in between Eloise and Julian. Let me know if you enjoyed reading it!
