Setting the scene

I wake up practically on Taran again. The covers are off the bed. Taran’s body is radiating heat. Maybe dragons are made from fire? I should ask about what is and isn’t true when it comes to dragons. Taran stirs as I pull away. His arm is around me with his hand resting on my hip. I feel his grip tighten, and his chest vibrates as he lets out a low growl, warning me not to move. His grip immediately loosens, and he stops growling when I relax back into him.

I wonder if Taran holds me because I’m so much cooler than him. His body is like an inferno, and it’s clear he doesn’t like blankets. I woke up without blankets yesterday too.

I’m not sure how much time passes before Taran begins to wake. In a soft voice, I say, “Good morning.” He looks at me and smiles. I smile back. Feeling a little embarrassed, I tell him, “Can you let me go now? I need the bathroom.”

Taran pulls his arm off me, and I could almost

  • The Dragon's Stone   Fulfilling a fantasy

    I’m putting the last pillow on the bed when I hear Taran behind me. Since there is no door, he’s making it known that he’s there. “Lay down and raise your skirt.” Before facing him, I bite my lower lip. Getting back into character, I turn towards him but don’t move towards the bed. “I’m not a patient king, little dove. Lay down; I want to make sure you’re truly a virgin.”I lay across the bed and slowly pull the skirt of my dress up, along with my shift. Taran’s eyes stare at my sex. He licks his lips. I can see his struggle; this must be affecting him as much as it’s affecting me.He pushes my legs up and further apart. “It looks like you are indeed a virgin.” Taran’s fingers lightly move over my sex, causing me to tense. He chuckles and begins to rub my inner thighs, “You are fortunate, little dove. Many maidens wish for me to take their virginity. This is an honor for you

  • The Dragon's Stone   Party for Dad

    I sit up and begin fixing my dress. I don’t bother retying the laces, but I lay the fabric in its correct place. Taran comes in with two glasses of water. I gladly accept the one he offers me and down it. My legs shake as I stand. Placing my glass on the nightstand, I turn towards the wardrobe where I put my clothes. Just as I reach for the door, I hear Taran’s low voice, “Where are you going, little dove?” I pause and take a moment to get the smile off my face. Turning back towards Taran, I say, “I’m sorry, your grace, I just needed to move around.” “Why did you cover yourself, little dove?” “I-I thought we finished.” Grabbing the back of my hair, Taran forces me to look at him. His blue eyes pierce into mine. “Did I say we finished?” “No, your grace,” I responded breathlessly. Taran smirks, “You must be punished now, little dove.” Grabbing the top of the dress and shift, he easily tears it down the middle. Once it’s low enoug

  • The Dragon's Stone   Astronauts

    My mind jumps from one thought to the next without completing anything. I’m brought out of my thoughts by Taran’s voice, “Is everything okay? You look upset.” I look up at him and shrug, “It’s a long and boring story.” Giving me a reassuring smile, he sits in front of me and says, “Tell me the story.” My eyes wander over Taran’s naked body. I want to run my hands all over him, kiss all his bulging muscles, and feel him shudder from the pleasure I bring him. “Tru, are you alright?” I blink a few times and nod, “Yeah, so the story. I’m not sure where to begin. My father’s birthday is next month, and my middle brother David is planning a party for him. David asked me to make the food and prep what Dad plans to grill. I don’t have an issue with any of this, but I’m not too fond of David’s wife, Cindy. She makes underhanded comments about my family, and it gets to me. It’s caused a rift between David and me, so I feel that everyone is telling me last minut

  • The Dragon's Stone   Watching

    TaranTru seems to be relaxing around me. I’m not sure why she tensed when I teased her about the notebooks. I was more hoping she would explain why she’s keeping them.I know what she was afraid of me seeing, but I thought she knew I would see it.

  • The Dragon's Stone   Mondays

    Taran stands close to me as we walk the museum tour. I see Bryan with another girl, and I feel my heartbreaking. After treating me the way he did, I shouldn’t want him, but I do. Bryan was the first man I ever saw past a fling. We were serious, and I willingly gave him my heart. Tears sting my eyes as I watch him with her. For the entire tour, all I can do is watch Bryan. Does it hurt him as much to see me with Taran as it does to see him with another woman? There is free time to look around before lunch. Taran walks beside me without saying a word. My chest aches after watching Bryan with that girl. I’m trying to focus on the assignment to find a painting or sculpture that speaks to us, but I can’t find anything so far. I turn the corner and find Bryan and the girl kissing. He has her pushed against a wall, and their hands are roaming over each other. I turn and run towards the bathroom, I hear Taran call after me, but I don’t stop. Tears are already falling

  • The Dragon's Stone   Where do we stand?

    Bryan and I sit in a park. He bought us lunch and got us a blanket to have a picnic. Though I don’t understand everything, Bryan explains all about werewolves.“Why didn’t you tell me about being a werewolf?” I ask.Bryan looks slightly embarrassed, “I wanted us to commit to one another. Like either living together or married. I know it sounds bad, but I knew if I waited, you would stay with me.” He lets out a sigh, “That’s why I gave you an ultimatum about moving in together. Tru, I’m taking over as alpha when we return home. It’s a stressful job, and I need a strong luna beside me. I need someone smart, kind, and that won’t put up with anyone’s bullshit. I need you.” He doesn’t look at me when he says, “My destine mate rejected me. She didn’t want me. She was in a relationship with someone else and had no intention of leaving them. It was humiliating.” Bryan’s

  • The Dragon's Stone   Vampire Clan

    Taran I’m beyond angry and have no one but myself to blame. Tru almost lost her life today. I swore to protect her and failed. Then that mutt rushed to her aide and now seems like the hero. The wolf saved her, not me. The moment Tru ran to the bathroom, I noticed the vampires began leaving. I knew they were planning to do something to Tru, probably scare her or go into her mind. Either way, I knew that I needed to stop them. I followed one at a safe distance and covered my scent. They lead me to a large open room with twenty vampires. It was a large clan. Knowing Tru would be overpowered, I felt the best course of action was to kill the entire clan before the vampire bringing her arrived. I made my presence known when the leader began speaking. I made sure to kill all twenty. Using my natural magic, I set them on fire. The only fire source was a lighter I took from the hotel. To keep them from escaping, I barricaded the door. The flame I started with was smal

  • The Dragon's Stone   Rain

    I stare at Taran. I’m not sure how I feel about everything. Taran won’t tell me what he was doing when the vampire attacked me, but I get the impression he tried to help me. He decided not to go into my mind to find out what happened and instead accepts what I said as the truth.Why did he change his mind? What changed from when we left North Berwick to now? Taran still seems angry, but I don’t feel as though it’s towards me.It’s only four in the afternoon, but the events of today make it seem far later. I sit on the bed and stare out the window for a while. Feeling restless, I go to take a shower. When I come out of the bathroom, Taran is gone. Maybe he needed more space than being on opposite sides of the room. It hurts that he just left without telling me that he was leaving or when he will return.I lay down in bed and pull an extra pillow to my chest. Thinking about the events of today, I begin to cry. I hear the door unlockin

  • The Dragon's Stone   Enchanted Pool

    We walk back to the house. There is a small stairway on the other side of a large, empty room. We descend into a room where a pool resides. There are no windows, but stones in the wall seem to glow. I approach one, my fingers gently glide over it. The stone flickers. I hear music. The stones seem to be humming. All the stones flicker one by one, playing a melody that seemed so familiar, but I couldn’t place.“Now they are going to show off for you,” Taran says with amusement.I can’t help but smile. “What song is this?”Taran shakes his head, “I cannot hear them, I can only see them.”My smile fades. “Really?”Taran nods, “You were blessed by the spirits. You can see and hear things others cannot.”I shrug, “I’m not good with magic. I used to make smoke animals to entertain children, but their parents felt uncomfortable with it, so I stopped. Then I tried at home, but after a few mishaps, it was strongly advised that I didn’t continue”.“Show me,” Taran says.I feel slightly embarrass

  • The Dragon's Stone   You look like a king

    We land on the beach near our house. I struggle to climb off Taran, but he uses his tail to help me. After Taran passes me the box, he steps away. “Wait,” I stammer.Taran pauses, watching me closely. I put the box on the ground. “I haven’t gotten a good look at you. This is the real you, right?” I asked gesturing towards him.A grumble, then Taran’s bends his head so his gaze meets mine. I extend my hand out to touch him but quickly recoil. “I’m sorry. I forgot that it is rude to pet someone.”Another grumble, followed by something gripping me around the waist. I’m pulled towards the dragon. If my hands were not in front of me then I would have slammed into him, face first.“You don’t mind me touching you?” I asked. Taran shakes his head. My fingers trace the red scales varying in hue. Some are bright red, some scarlet, other a blood red all with thin golden marbling. “You’re beautiful,” I whisper. I look up into Taran’s reddish-orange eyes. “And you’re warm. I assumed you would feel

  • The Dragon's Stone   Reunited with the family Part 2

    “She used you to get to me?” I asked. David nods. A look of shame washes over his face. “I’m sorry you were put in that position,” I tell him.David nods, “I’m sorry I let her manipulate me.”Something inside me seems to break. Looking at Taran, I ask, “Will it ever stop?”Taran shakes his head, “No, but I’m never letting you go again.” Taran squeezes my hand, “That is why I made a home for us. I put wards around our home to protect you.”“It doesn’t end with me, does it? What about the heir you desperately want?” I demanded.“Without an heir, the dragons will die. They will fight for power until they kill each other, leaving the world open to all the night creatures to kill. The water, the ground, and even the air will become poisoned.” Taran’s eyes soften, “I know you’re worried about the future, but I promise you if we decide to ignore our destiny, the future is much worse.”I stare at Taran, “They will never be a child. Someone will always be trying to hurt them or take advantage

  • The Dragon's Stone   Reunited with the family Part 1

    “Trudy-bug,” my father cries when he sees me. He hugs me so tightly that I can barely breathe. “I was worried you would never want to see me again.”“I’m sorry, Dad,” I say as tears start to stream down my face.“No. No. I’m sorry. I should’ve listened to you about Cindy,” my father said.“What happened?” I asked.My father shakes his head, “It’s not important now. All that matters is that you’re safe.” He motions towards a house, “Come, I will have everyone over soon to say hello.”Taran stands next to me after shifting back into his human form. My father smiles and offers him a hand, “Taran, thank you for bringing her home.”Taran accepts my father's hand, “Tru’s home is with me. Once she is settled, I will take her to learn from the spirits. She will likely be gone a year or more.”“You’re sending me away?” I asked surprised.Taran nods, “When I can no longer teach you, yes. I will visit you often.”“I am not losing another year with my family,” I replied.“We will not discuss this

  • The Dragon's Stone   I don't like flying

    “I really don’t like flying,” I protest as Taran and I pack for the trip to my family’s island.“You were meant to soar, little dove.” Taran replies. His arms wrap around my waist from behind, “You are a mate to a dragon. Trust me, soon you will love being above the clouds.”I lean back against his chest. “What does my family think of all this?”Taran kisses the side of my head, “They don’t completely understand, but they know I will keep you safe at all costs.”“When will the dragons no longer see me as a threat? How long will we stay here?” I asked.I hear the smile in Taran’s voice. “Not even two days and you’re wanting to leave.”“It’s not that,” I argue. “I miss seeing people living their daily lives. Not cowering from me in fear or kissing up to me.”“The dragons will kiss up to you a lot, when they aren’t scheming your death.”I snort, “You forget I lived with wolves.”“One day, I will bow at your feet and beg for forgiveness at letting those animals take you,” Taran murmurs in

  • The Dragon's Stone   Punishment

    Taran grabs my dress and tears it down the middle—the dress pools at my feet before I can react. Taran grabs my wrists and pulls me towards the bed. Using his body weight to hold me in place, he bends me over the bed, holding my wrist behind my back. I struggle to get away until his free hand comes down on my bottom, causing a terrible sting. The impact stops my struggle.With a gentle touch, Taran soothes my back cheek. His voice is calm, but stern: “No clothes in the bed, dove. I want to feel your soft skin against me when we are in bed. I would prefer you naked at all times, but I have compromised and even provided you with clothes.” Taran removes his hand before bringing it down on the other cheek.“Ow,” I cry. I’m sure Taran has left his handprint on both sides of my bottom. “I won’t wear clothes in bed again my dragon.”“Why should I believe you, dove?” Taran asked. His hand slowly moves down the back of my thigh, then up the inside. Without thinking, I spread my legs wider for

  • The Dragon's Stone   You broke the deal

    I sit at the foot of the bed, watching the storm. The bedroom lights are dim, and I can see the waves crashing onto the shore as the lightning flashes.My back faces the door to the hall as I stare out the window. “You’re not supposed to wear clothes in bed,” Taran says, causing me to jump. I didn’t mean to startle you,” he adds while walking toward me. He removes his clothes before sitting opposite me. Taran hands me a package wrapped in paper: “I brought you a present.”“Thank you,” I reply.I unwrap the package to find a magic book as Taran explains, “I know you didn’t get to practice a lot of magic in the last couple of years. If you are interested, I can help you.”“I didn’t know dragons could use magic,” I reply while flipping through the book.“You will surpass me in a few months, but I can use magic. Most dragons have a natural magic, and the royal dragons can use spells.” Taran shrugs, “We can make charms and potions too, but I’m not very good.”“I would appreciate any help y

  • The Dragon's Stone   Rolling Thunder

    A loud crash of thunder jolts me from my sleep. The lightening brightens the room momentarily, and I find myself alone. A dim light seeps in from under the door. As I sit up, the room begins to brighten. I open the chest where Taran got the dress out and find that it is full of sundresses. I pick one and go out into the hall.Taran stands in the kitchen, cooking. He is dressed in a cotton shirt and board shorts. “Hello,” I say awkwardly.Turning towards me, Taran shows no emotion on his face. “Hello, dove. How did you sleep?”“I slept great until the thunder. What about you?”Taran is back, facing the food. “I didn’t sleep, there is much for me to do.”“What are you making? Can I help?” I offer.“It’s almost ready. Why don’t you set the table?”I nod and start looking for plates and utensils. “What do you want to drink?” I asked.“Just water,” he replies.I find glasses and fill them. Taran brings the food to the table, and we sit down to eat. “It smells nice,” I say with a smile.Tar

  • The Dragon's Stone   Gently

    His tongue gently touches my lip, asking for entrance. Without much hesitation, I allow my tongue to meet his. The kiss becomes deeper as our tongues begin to dance. Taran’s hand moves up my hip to my waist, and finally my breast. His thumb strums my nipple through the thin fabric of my dress.Pulling back a little, Taran helps me sit up as he pulls the straps of my dress down and exposes my breast. He gently puts his hand on my chest and encourages me to lie back. I feel Taran slowly pulling up my skirt. Without thinking, I spread my legs for him. There is a hint of amusement in his voice, “You glisten.” Taran looks into my eyes. “It’s very beautiful.”We go back to kissing. Taran nips at my lips, causing me to let out a moan. I feel Taran smile against my skin, “Are we going to continue pretending you don’t want me to touch you, little dove?”I nip at his lips and chin. “I don’t know what you me
