“The last I heard, his bride still considered him an enemy operative,” Silas says with a sly smile.
“Sysko has his work cut out for him with his mate. But humans have begun to volunteer for the mating program,” I inform her.
“I still question the wisdom of bringing another species into ours,” my mother says. “That is why your discovery is so important, Joon.”
“I wouldn't count Sysko’s humans out yet. They are the reason I was able to find the cure. The Gods mated with them long before they even settled Draxos Prime.”
“You have a point,” my mother says, scratching her chin.
My mates fill me with sweets and dancing for the rest of the evening between speeches of gratitude and congratulations from my guests.
My head is light with spiced merrow wine and by the end of the evening, I know I've never had a better, more enchanting night in my life. My mates tuck me into bed and each of them kisses me goodnight.
“Kiss me again,” I whisper to Uri, holding on to his neck.
He kisses me hard, and growls, pushing me down as he withdraws.
“Goodnight,” he growls, joining the others at the door. “I will kiss you more soon.”
I drift off to sleep, feeling utterly satisfied, grateful, and fulfilled. All that is left is to give my mates their first clutch of hatchlings.
Chapter 39
After our morning meal, the day following the celebration, I fill my cup with black tea and take a sip, looking up at my mates. Everyone seems a bit droopy eyed from the late night, but smiles fill their faces.
“My eggs came down this morning,” I inform them, having tested myself first thing in the morning.
“You are ovulating?” Donte asks me.
“I am. For the first time since our claiming. I won't be again for another three months,” I say, trying to encourage them to let go of their overprotective attitudes.
“We will go to her tonight,” Uri growls over his tea cup.
“She is not fully recovered,” Reese objects.
“It’s been over a month,” Uri says, his eyes hungry.
“We shouldn't risk her health,” says Donte.
“She was at the doctor yesterday and was given a clean bill of health,” Flume reasons.
“I have missed you all so much,” I tell them.
“We have missed you too,” Donte informs me with a strangled look in his face.
“She isn’t ready yet,” Mika objects.
“If I weren’t healthy, my eggs wouldn’t have come down.”
“I propose we join her in her rooms,” Flume says.
“I second that,” Uri says.
The rest of them slowly agree. Mika, who has been the most concerned about my health, is the last. I'm giddy with anticipation as I go through the rest of my daily routine. I spend several hours at the lab, overseeing a series of physical experiments. After a late lunch in my rooms, my mates begin to arrive at my door.
The first to come is Uri. When I let him inside, he gathers me hungrily into his arms. He presses a deep, passionate kiss to my lips, and I can feel him already aroused against me as he begins to peel off my clothes. He's down to his trousers, kissing me and touching me when Flume arrives. Not wanting to be outdone, he begins to kiss the back of my neck.
My door opens and the rest of my mates enter. They haven’t touched me in over a month, and we all feel the deep hunger for our bond. My simple dress already on the floor, stand naked between the five of them. To fertilize my eggs, I need seed from each of them tonight. I want hatchlings with all of them. Not just one.
They quickly deconstruct their clothing and stand in a circle around me. I touch each of them, stroking their cocks and kissing their lips. Their hands slide all over me, touching my every curve. I can barely contain my excitement at the idea of taking their seed to fertilize my eggs. I’m nearly climaxing from the softest touch.
They take me to the bed, laying me across the pillowed expanse. Hands hold my limbs as my legs are pushed open. Flume begins to lick my pussy while Uri kisses me with his hot, hungry mouth. I’m seeping juices from deep within, my body begging for their seed.
Flume’s tongue coats my clitoral ring with his erotic venom. I gasp when he pushes his tongue inside my channel, exciting me from within. My mates kiss my pulse points, running their teeth over my veins. Mika nibbles my neck, pressing his fangs against my jugular. I cup his head with my hand, wanting him to bite me as I did the last time we were alone together.
My mysterious Flume climbs on top of me and slides his cock over my sopping wet entrance. I come instantly as his shaft sinks inside me. My pussy milks him for his semen, and I groan, grinding against him. His claws puncture my hips as he thrusts into me, climaxing deep in my core. My mates each kiss me hard and Mika’s fangs penetrate my neck.
Breathlessly, Flume slides away and Uri is next, turning me over onto my stomach, sliding inside my wet pussy without warning. He runs his hands over my ass, pressing against my pelvis as he pulls me onto him. I grip the bedsheets as my mate takes my body. Uri doesn't hold back, and I’m on fire with pleasure.
I come like the asteroid hurtling through space as my body clenches against his cock. He erupts inside me, hot and slick and sticky. With one last pump of his hips, he holds me still, until his semen coats my core. I groan, loving the feeling of his hot seed deep inside. He slides away, and I am pulled onto the lap of my Water Prince.
Reese cups my face in his hands and I descend onto his phallus. Mika kisses my neck where he had bitten me as he pushes the tip of his dick against my ass. I love that Mika is taking me like this. I kiss Reese and stroke Donte and Mika behind me. Reese begins to bounce me up and down on his cock, pushing me into a mind-numbing orgasm that squeezes out his climax. His watery semen shoots into my core, gushing inside me in a flood. It's then that Donte can no longer hold back and pulls me onto his lap, facing away.
I slide onto his thick member as Mika stands in front of me with his golden rod proudly standing in my face. I lick his cock as he runs his hands through my hair. I can see him smiling down at me. I suck hard as Donte bounces me on his wide shaft. He flicks my clit, making me climax. Mika pulls away from me with a gasp, as Donte shoots his pounding seed inside me.
Mika pulls me up to my feet and picks me up in his strong arms. I'm exhausted, but I hold onto his shoulders. My mates all hold me up as Mika pistons into my pussy, holding my knees over his shoulders. He presses his finger into my clit, circling around and around as he pumps his cock in and out of my core, making me come with blind abandon.
I'm soaking wet with seed as Mika pounds into me, intensely and repeatedly until he fills me with his creamy semen.
I see the semen flow all over my blue skin. My mates hold me aloft as Mika lets the last of his cum pump into my cunt.
Slowly he emerges from inside me and I’m set on the bed. I can feel their semen searching for my eggs. I lie back, envisioning my children. My mates lie beside me and kiss me gently, rubbing my belly. I gaze at each of them, always finding something new to love. I know I will soon see their beautiful faces remade in our hatchlings. It’s all that matters now.
Chapter 40
Several weeks after making love to my mates, I have an appointment at the medical wing of the Academy. My fingers are crossed, and so are my toes, hoping that we have conceived. I worry my previous illness affected my ability to fertilize my eggs. Breathing into my anxiety, I try to convince myself everything is fine.
“Joon D’fray?” the technician says.
Donte stands with me and we walk into an exam room. I sit on a long, padded bench, holding Donte’s hand. His expression is tense around the eyes but his smiling mouth betrays excitement. After taking my blood, the technician runs an analysis over a clear plate on his computer dashboard. The results come up on the holographic screen a moment later.
“I'm pregnant,” I blurt out, jumping into Donte's arms.
He holds me in his warm embrace, my h
eart giddy with joy.
I have hatchlings in my womb!
“We did it,” Donte sighs, patting my back.
I think about the journey to come. My eggs will grow inside me for six months. When they are too large for my bipedal form to carry, I will shift into dragon to complete the gestation and deliver my eggs. Our eggs will then be tended until they hatch. I am relieved the hatching room has already been prepared in the tower.
“We must tell everyone at once,” I say.
The birth of hatchlings is an important event for all of the Draxos. With the good news in our hearts, we return home.
“Where is everyone?” I ask the house AI as we enter the palace.
“Your mates are playing with the puffkins in the backyard,” she states.
Donte and I walk out to join them, my icy breath blowing into the chill of the snowy yard. My mates turn to us, all eyes on me and Donte. I try to keep a straight face, but a smile breaks out on my lips.
“I'm pregnant!” I exclaim, throwing my arms into the air.
My mates rush to me and wrap their arms around me, hugging me to them in turn and all at once. I can't hold back my emotions and a flood of tears flows from my eyes.
“We’re going to be a family,” I sob in their arms.
“We will be, dearest Joon, and we already are,” Reese says.
Chapter 41
The moon of Arcadia orbits the planet Umbria and the seasons change from winter, to spring, to summer. My eggs grow inside me, filling my belly until I am ripe and round. I am in my last days of bipedal from.
We have chosen not to find out the sex of the hatchlings until after they're hatched, a decision that was not come too easily. My mates all agreed that I should not focus on the genders of our hatchlings and instead spend the time prioritizing my own health.
Eventually I acquiesced to their demands. However, it is painfully difficult to wait to find out if my experiment worked. I feel like they're torturing me sometimes, but I know at the end that they are often right about such things. So, I wait.
They have been so very careful with me since the news of my pregnancy that I think I will die of starvation for them. I know they want me just as much.
As we sit at the morning table and the grand hall, Donte reads letters of encouragement sent to me from across Draxos.
“This one is from Senetor Or’ik,” Donte says, starting another letter.
I half listen, my mind still wandering to my work and my experiments at the lab. I've been put on sabbatical since the news of my pregnancy. The Academy continues to make slow progress on the inoculation.
It baffles me that it could take so long. If I were still working, we would have had an inoculation months ago. I rub my belly and try to listen to Donte. My palm slides over the round sides of the eggs growing in my womb.
“Here is another progress report from the lab,” Donte continues reading the updates on the inoculation.
Progress is so incremental it is mind-numbing. But everyone wants to be extra safe when it comes to inoculating female Draxos. The first experiment on males is set to commence after I have to take dragon form for my eggs. I tap my fingers on the table as I drink my black tea.
After Donte finishes the progress report, he reads a letter of praise from the farming moon of Vedos, orbiting Draxos Prime.
“That was nice of them,” I say to Donte.
“You deserve it,” says Reese.
“Our Joon is a hero of the Draxos,” Mika says.
“I'm not a hero. Just look at what Sysko has done. The tournament preparations for humans is already beginning. There will be human females hatching dragon eggs before the first inoculations make it to the public.”
“You can't compare the two,” Uri says. “Human females are not as valuable to us as Draxos females.”
“They are just as valuable as any other species in the galaxy,” I say.
“Without the Draxos, who would fight the cyborgs?” Uri counters. “We are the only species in the entire Galactic Collective strong enough to fight them.”
“Be that as it may,” I start, “it would do the Draxos good to be braver in the application of my discovery…”
“You are brave enough for all of us,” Donte says.
“Not anymore,” I say, rubbing my belly. “I will need to change to dragon form soon. And then I will be so lonely with no one to talk to and no one to share my bed at night.”
“We will care for you in your dragon form and all will be well,” Donte says.
“I know it will be. But I do wish you would all come to my room and say goodbye to me properly before I shift.”
They look up at me from their morning meal, knowing my meaning.
“Don't you think it is unwise at this stage in your pregnancy?”
“We don't have to be rough with her,” Uri reasons.
“If it means that much to you, I suppose we could be very gentle,” Donte says, scratching his chin.
“Yes, be very gentle with me,” I say, biting my lip.
Later that evening, I sit in repose on my bed, petting my little puffkin, Gigi. I look out at the Sea of Light, shimmering in the dramatic sunset. Fragrant flowers bloom in the late summer air and drift through my windows.
Gigi bounces off to her puffkin house as my mates enter my room. I lie languidly across my bed, wearing a long white slip that is nearly transparent. They can see the details of the curves of my body. My belly is swollen and ripe. My round breasts are peaked with dark blue nipples. Everything about me feels full and alive. My every curve calls out to be touched.
My mates come from across the room, their eyes scorching over my body. They deconstruct their clothing, down to their underthings. I bite my lip, wanting to see them nude.
They had promised to be gentle with me. I know they are holding back on purpose, but I almost don’t want them to. Donte lifts my wrists and deconstructs my slip before kissing my wrist. I sit with my back against of large black pillow and my mates gather around me.
Uri reaches out and begins to fondle my massive breasts, kneading and squeezing them. “By the Gods you look good enough to eat,” he growls, pinching my tight nipples softly as he leans in to kiss me.
Reese and Mika caress my hips and thighs as Flume pushes them apart. Flume licks around my clitoral ring ever so lightly, depositing his erotic venom against my slick, hungry flesh. I moan and throw my head back, my white hair falling across the black pillow. They spread me open and kiss me all over. Their tongues and lips explore my mountains and valleys, drinking in the essence of my womanhood.
Hands and fingers explore me. They move ever so slowly, enticing me and seducing me open. They meet my groans with kisses and my desire with fulfillment. Fingers from two different hands pump into my channel as other fingers explore my clitoral ring.
Flume presses his tongue inside my channel as he taps on my clit. His long slick tongue deposits his erotic venom inside me and I climax hard, my mates holding my wrists. My pussy squeezes Flume’s tongue, pulling it deeper into my channel. Uri and Donte suck my nipples, drawing out the pre-milk that will later come down to feed my young.
Mika sucks and nibbles my nipples, and I am blind with sensation. I want them to climax for me as they make me come again and again.
Knowing my desire through our bond, they deconstruct their underwear and bring out their long, throbbing shafts. I lean up on all fours and began to lick my beautiful men’s multicolored cocks.
They rub me as I kneel on the bed on my hands and knees. Hands rove up the backs of my thighs, my stomach, my breasts. They don't try to take any fulfillment from me, but let me taste them with my own greedy mouth.
Mika slides his cock into my pussy and begins to gently rock back and forth as the other five stroke themselves all around me. I lick whoever is in front of me, trying to taste them each in desperate attempt to fulfill them all.
Mika’s hard, golden cock thrusts into me, pumping out blasts of climaxing pleasure. I lea
n down to rest my cheek against the bed as he takes me from behind. I feel my men spray their seed all over my back as Mika pumps his sweet cum inside me.
Semen sprays across my skin, down the cleft of my ass, and over my back. It drips down my nipples onto the sheet as my pussy milks Mika’s dick for the last drops.
I'm gasping and moaning as he slides out of me and pulls me into an embrace. My mates rub the seed on my belly, using it to moisturize my stretched skin. Mika kisses me passionately as he holds me tight.
My mates huddle around me, kissing me on the cheeks, forehead, and shoulders. They hold me as we sleep. I feel so safe. So loved. So full. Perfect. This is exactly what I needed to send me off to dragon form.
Chapter 42
The door of the antigrav lift slides open, and I step out into the hatching tower where I will complete my gestation. Through the wall of windows before me, I can see the late summer sea. A warm breeze blows through my hair and I take a deep breath of fragrant air.
I am alone for the transformation, as I have asked to be. My mates will attend to my dragon until my eggs are laid and hatched.
I slide my hand over my wrist com and deconstruct my clothing. Taking a deep breath, I walk barefoot across the floor, my curves undulating with my pace. I let out an icy breath and suck it back in before I will myself to shift.
My ice dragon form grows out of my body almost instantly. I am heavy with eggs, even in this much larger form. I find the thick, warm nest my mates prepared for me and settle in for the rest of my gestation.
My dragon mind is laser focused on the care of my young. The more intelligent bipedal mind relaxes into the mind of the beast. We unite in this beautiful moment of creation.
The weeks pass as my dragon tummy grows with the eggs in my womb. I feel the labor start early in the morning, a long ache that starts at the base of my tail and surges up my spine. I alert my mates through our mate bond and they come running to attend the laying. By mid-day, I have laid my first egg. A perfect oval: red and mottled black.
