Page 13 of Henry & the Dragon

Henry felt as though Kai’s touch trailed fire along his skin. It was hot, threatening to combust him. Had he known this feeling existed, he would have sought it out.

And probably have been executed for his alleged crimes against mankind and the crown.

Kai leaned over and took Henry into his mouth, sliding down until Henry was fully buried in Kai’s throat. He bit his lip to avoid screaming. As Kai continued to rise and fall on Henry’s shaft, he touched that spot that had sent those delicious tingles through his body. Only this time, there was something wet and slippery on his finger.

“Kai?” he asked cautiously.

He pulled back. “This is called lube. It’s suppose to make loving you easier and less painful. I only know what I’ve read, so if you’d prefer, you can try with me first so you know how it feels.”

Henry didn’t even have to think about it. Kai was a noble. A prince of the realm. To do this to him would be… no, those rules didn’t apply here. They never should have been in use back when they were living in Innernook. Still, so many things were changing and Henry needed time to take it all in.

“May I think about it? I don’t want to say yes, but I would like the option at a later date.”

“Of course. Anytime you decide you’d like to try this, you have simply to tell me.”

Panic swept through Henry at the thoughts of his future. “And I won’t be imprisoned? You swear this, yes?” he asked, nerves making his voice shaky.

“No. Here we don’t even have prisons. At least not like they had in Innernook. We believe in rehabilitation for our people who have done wrong. Helping to discover where things went awry and helping to correct that behavior. As far as we’re concerned, incarceration serves no one. If it becomes necessary for stronger methods, people will be restricted to their homes, but we will never put them in a cage.” He brought Henry’s knuckles to his lips and kissed them. “Could you tell me why you’re so fearful?”

Henry turned his gaze to Kai. “My parents knew my heart would never belong to a woman. They both swore they loved me no less. Yet, for so long all I heard from those of the church was hell awaits they who love another of their sameness. I know you tell me that neither heaven nor hell exists, but what if you’re wrong?”

Kai wrapped an arm around Henry, pulling him close. “Based on their beliefs, I cannot be wrong. For no loving god would allow someone to suffer unending torture simply for who they love. If—and I will not mock you should you choose to continue believing—gods do exist, then why have hell at all? If gods created man, then they’re the ones responsible for his downfall. Believe as you will, my dearest, but I could never accept someone who claims to show love, but then dispenses punishment for simply being who you are.”

And Henry knew it was true. His own mother had gone against the teachings so she could support her parents. How had he not noticed that the church said their god was the only god that was right? That if you didn’t believe in that god, then eternal damnation awaited you. That would mean his grandmother and grandfather would be suffering in hell because they believed in the old gods. Henry couldn’t fathom that at all.

“Would you like to sleep?” Kai asked softly.

No. Henry didn’t want to sleep. He wanted Kai, but he also needed to get everything right in his head. He turned and leaned in, claiming Kai’s sweet lips.

“No. I want to learn. For you to teach me how a dragon makes love.”

Oh, sure. No pressure. Kai had never been with anyone else, so how could do justice to the act and make it good for Henry?

“Then shall I continue from where I left off?”

Henry nodded and lay back, his legs spread. Kai marveled at Henry’s body. So pale, so beautiful. He bent again and took Henry into his mouth, loving the gasp that escaped. He bobbed his head up and down, taking more of Henry’s length in with each downstroke. He wasn’t surprised when slender fingers slid through his hair and clutched his head.

“Kai, I—”

As Henry pressed down on Kai’s head, he slid a thumb into Henry’s opening, gently probing, getting it ready for him.

“Oh gods!” Henry cried out. “That feels… wonderful.”

A sigh of relief slid from Kai. He continued to suck the tasty treat in his mouth, licking around the head, sliding down the shaft, then twirling his tongue over the length, all while enjoying Henry’s whimpers. One thing was certain: Henry was a very sensual man. Kai pulled off the cock and moved his way down to the balls, which he sucked into his mouth. Henry’s head snapped back and forth, and Kai’s name was a litany of whispered pleas.

Kai lifted Henry’s legs, exposing that beautiful ass. This would probably freak both of them out, but whatever. He pushed the legs toward Henry’s chest, amazed by how pliable Henry was. Kai truly believed Henry would allow him to do anything he wanted. It was quite heady to have someone put their trust in you like that.

Time to put that to the test.

He held Henry’s legs up with one hand, then slipped three fingers into his opening.

“More, please,” Henry begged, as his eyes fluttered closed.

Kai smiled as he took one leg in each hand, then pushed Henry nearly in half. Before Henry could react, Kai leaned in and pressed his tongue into Henry’s hole.

“No, Kai!” Henry cried out, his body shaking.

“Is there a problem?”

“That’s not safe or clean.”

“This is why we showered, my dear. To ensure you were clean so I could do this for you. Now, may I continue?”

“But I—I….”

“If you’re afraid we can stop. I would never do anything to worry you.”

But he didn’t. This was Kai. His Kai. The one who’d given him peace of mind, who’d saved his family, who’d taught Henry so much.

“No, please don’t stop.”

“Very well. If you need me to cease, simply say so. Agreed?”

“Yes,” Henry replied, his throat tight.

Instead of continuing the conversation, Kai went back to what he was doing. He flattened his tongue and slid it over Henry’s pucker, which drew a breathy moan.

“Kai,” Henry moaned. “So good.”

That made Kai feel ten feet tall. He went back to licking with a fervor, spearing his tongue in the hole on occasion. The lube tasted of berries, which Kai enjoyed, especially when mixed with Henry’s own delicious flavor.

As he continued to rim Henry, he moved his fingers in to relax the hole even more. He was amazed at how much he enjoyed the heat from Henry’s ass surrounding his fingers, how the hole squeezed them, and it made him wonder what it would be like to slide into it with his cock. The mere thought drove him crazy with need to bury himself inside Henry.

“Henry? Love?”

“Please, Kai. I need you. I want you to do this.”

Permission given, Kai fingered Henry a bit longer, then lifted his legs over Kai’s shoulders.

“Are you well, beloved?”

“Oh, so good,” Henry whispered, sounding utterly blissed out.

“This may hurt,” Kai warned.

“Mhm.”

Kai scooted forward and placed the head of his cock against Henry’s hole, took a deep breath, and pushed forward gently.

Henry tensed at the invasion of something long and hard.

“You must relax,” Kai murmured, stopping all movement. “I have no wish to harm you, and if you want me to top, I certainly will.”

Pain radiated from where Kai had breached him, but Henry sucked in a breath and waited until it became a dull ache.

“No, please continue.”

Kai trusted Henry enough that he moved a little more, burying himself in Henry’s buttocks. Each move brought a bit of pain, but when it dulled it became something more. Something pleasurable. At last Kai groaned and Henry knew he’d inserted himself fully.

“Kai?”

“Never in my life have I known such bliss,” Kai replied, his voice filled with reverence. “Are you well?”

“Oh, yes,” Henry moaned, each tiny movement Kai made sending a thrill through him. “Is there more, or do we lay here like this? I find either option would be wonderful.”

Kai chuckled. “No, there is more. Shall I continue?”

“Yes, please do.”

After retrieving another dollop of lubricant and adding it to his length as he withdrew, Kai gripped Henry’s knees and held them apart, the gently thrust his hips, pushing his cock back into the tight channel that fit him perfectly.

“Oh, by the gods,” Henry purred, sliding a hand over Kai’s sweat slicked chest. “Please, more?”

Did Henry have any idea how much he was tempting Kai? How Kai wanted to unleash his full strength and pillage this supple body? A dragon should never be teased or taunted.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea if—”

Henry fluttered his eyes. “Please, Kai? More.”

Damn. Kai locked his fingers onto Henry’s hips and thrust in hard. A sharp, wordless cry escaped Henry, but he didn’t ask Kai to stop. If anything, he looked even more eager, which spurred Kai on. The slap of skin on skin was loud in the room, but were dwarfed by Henry’s moaning and pleading.

He rubbed Kai’s arms, stroking his fingers over the skin. “Please, Kai? I need….”

“What do you need?” Kai whispered.

“You. I need you. Please, show me what this feeling is that has me so blissful.”

Anything. Kai would give Henry whatever he wanted. He drew out slightly, then shoved back in, repeating the action a bit harder and faster each time. Through it all, his entire body was set ablaze by the heat of Henry’s channel and the molten gaze raking over him. A familiar tingle in his balls let Kai know that this round was nearly done.

A few more thrusts, then a gush of fluid burst from his tip, filling Henry, who reached up and locked his hands around the back of Kai’s neck, pulling him deeper. Kai reached down and wrapped a hand around Henry’s cock and giving it one, two, three tugs and then, with a roar, Henry erupted, sending spurt after spurt to his chest, chin, face, and even going so far as to splatter Kai and the wall. Then Kai withdrew, his spend spilling out of Henry and onto the bedsheets. It would be a mess, but he was only too happy to clean it up.

After a nap.

“That was amazing,” Henry whispered in Kai’s ear. “Never before have I been so close to anyone.” He ran a hand over Kai’s chest. “I can feel your heart.”

“It beats for our family, my love. There shall be only us from this day forward. After we are married, we shall find a home for we three and fill our days with happiness.”

“That sounds good,” Henry answered, which was then punctuated by a yawn. “So sleepy.”

“It has been a very long and busy day. Sleep and in the morning we’ll see about changing the wet sheets.” He nuzzled Henry’s neck. “I love you, Henry Cabot. Always and forever.”

“Always and forever,” Henry repeated, then his eyes fluttered shut and he drifted toward sleep, following the man—the dragon—who’d claimed his heart.
