Chapter 22
Eleanor
Shinsu’s dragon is beautiful. Majestic. Terrifying power coiled in a fierce serpentine body. But it’s his eyes, those kind blue eyes awaiting my judgment that have me standing on the edge of the dock with an open hand outstretched toward him.
Pearly scales dance in the cascading beams of the sunset, catching hues of orange, pink, purple, and blue, painting my dragon in the most gorgeous palette.
Above him, two horns, almost antlers in appearance, jut into the air, drops of crystalline water clinging to their lengths as if even the ocean is relieved to have Shinsu back in her tranquil embrace.
Cautiously, he swims back toward me, then lowers his large face until his snout bumps against my hand.
Shinsu holds completely still as he patiently lets me explore him, his breathing steady but shallow so as to not overwhelm me.
I love knowing him so well that even without verbal communication, I can read all his intentions.
I brush my hand along the scutes covering his snout, marveling at the tough, leathery texture, so much thicker than the scales covering his human form.
“You’re so handsome,” I tell Shinsu. “I love everything about you—your horns, your scales, your eyes, your teeth, the list can go on and on.”
Tenderly, I lean forward and press my lips to the top of his snout, right above the sharp teeth protruding from his maw.
Shinsu closes his eyes and his mouth parts with a breath before he nuzzles into my hands. I glide my palms along all the parts of his face I can reach, tickling the soft skin under his chin, finding sensitive points, and enjoying the sight of a thrill racing down his spine.
Turning carefully as to not splash me, Shinsu shows me his back and the spiky fins racing along it.
“Like a shiver of sharks,” I say excitedly. “No wonder other creatures in the ocean fear you.” Shinsu frowns at that, his head lowering, but I push his chin up again so he can find my eyes. “Other creatures. Not me. Never me. I know I’m safe with my protective dragon.”
Droplets of salty water sprinkle down on me with Shinsu’s eager nodding. I giggle at the sensation and open my arms, spinning under my dragon rain, reveling in seeing this side of the person I hold most dear in the world.
“Go play with your dragon, Shinsu. Show me some of those moves you’ve been telling me about.”
And Shinsu does. He backs up carefully before diving under, disappearing beneath the calm waters and popping up again much farther than I could’ve expected.
He’s fast. Ripples spread across the surface from his cheerful antics, sending golden sun flecks scattering in the wake of his long body undulating through the waters.
Up and down Shinsu races, going under before bursting into the air again, his joy tangible from my spot on the dock. The stark difference in mood from the creature I found this morning to who he is here, wild and free in the ocean, has me reaching for the little bows on my shoulders.
Never again will I make Shinsu doubt me, never again will he entertain thoughts of abandonment, never again will we not share in each other’s joy.
My dress falls to the floor, followed by underwear, then I’m diving into the water too, thankful that my friends have arranged for privacy on this side of the island for the biggest of grand gestures.
The moment I enter the water, I can feel Shinsu’s attention on me. He approaches me carefully, barely disturbing the water with his giant form, and comes to a stop in front of me, questions flitting behind his curious gaze.
Treading water, I say, “I told you I’m not afraid of the ocean anymore. Not when I have you with me.”
Lips lifting into something that resembles a toothy grin, Shinsu nods.
“You looked like you were having fun. Can I play with you too?” I ask, splashing some water at him.
Shinsu’s head bobs up and down again, then I’m swimming forward while he keeps a watchful eye on me. His movements remain contained as he circles me, dipping below the surface at times and appearing again at random points, carefully surprising me before dodging my poor attempts at splashing him.
Each move gets more ridiculous as he tries to make me laugh. He attempts different poses, a few quirky tricks, even blows water my way when he pops up right beside me. I belly laugh at his more ridiculous stunts, and love every moment of playing together.
Fearless with my big dragon by my side, I allow myself the freedom to explore the ocean, letting her tranquility wash over me, rejuvenate me, as the world outside of us ceases to matter and we bask in our joy.
When my limbs grow tired, Shinsu’s gaze shifts into something mischievous and he stares at me from straight ahead.
A surprised shriek escapes me as bubbles tickle my feet. I kick out at them, but stop when I notice Shinsu’s smirk.
“This your handiwork?” I ask breathlessly.
Shinsu’s head dips with a yes, then he carefully circles me again as more effervescent bubbles climb up my legs, stopping just below the apex of my thighs. I relax into the sensations, letting Shinsu pull me toward his lowered face where he watches me with a feverish glint in his eyes.
“Oh.” I register what his gaze is implying. “Yes.”
A satisfied growl rumbles out of Shinsu and I bite my lip, anticipation rolling through me as the prospect of exploring something totally new between us.
My heart speeds up as the bubbles extend upward, covering my body with tiny, pleasurable tingles. More bubbles dance around my puckered nipples while others slip between legs, pulling whimpers from me with their playful teasing, priming my body for what’s to come.
Parting my legs, I invite Shinsu to keep going, needing more.
Shinsu’s magic keeps me afloat while he sends bubbles to strum my clit with steady pressure, knowing exactly what I like. Dipping his head down, his reptilian tongue darts out in another request.
“Yes. More,” I encourage him.
A long, broad tongue unfurls from Shinsu’s giant maw, and I moan wantonly as he drags it up from my belly button, between my breasts, to my collarbone.
The moment the sleek tongue passes over one of my nipples, I gasp, my back bowing at this new sensation. My hand shoots forward and wraps around one of his tendril-like whiskers extending from his snout.
Shinsu gives a low, rolling groan, almost reminiscent of a purr, then we’re moving. I grab onto his other whisker and Shinsu moves faster, my head never lowering beneath the ripples as he speeds us back toward shore.
Wrapping a clawed foot around me, Shinsu lifts me onto the dock. His heated gaze takes in my naked form as I sit on the edge, and I realize what his intention is.
Scooting backward, I lower myself onto my elbows and step my legs apart so Shinsu can see the evidence of my arousal.
He breathes in deeply, his scales shimmering in the last remnants of the sun as a tremble makes its way down his long spine. Ever so slowly, Shinsu lowers his head, his eyes staying locked on mine as he inches closer.
My heartbeat has relocated to my clit, my whole body is strung tight as I pant with anticipation.
“Please, Shinsu.” I don’t recognize my pleading voice, but I don’t care. I need more. I need this connection with him.
Shinsu opens his maw, his sharp teeth hovering above my abdomen as he drags his broad tongue through my pussy and flicks my clit. The obscene moan that is ripped from me echoes across the water, but I couldn’t care less.
No longer as hesitant, Shinsu licks me again, this time with more vigor.
Underneath him, I squirm, pleasure building at the base of my spine as I noisily ride my dragon’s face. But I need more. I grip onto Shinsu’s whiskers and he gives a low growl again as he bucks against the dock.
Realizing these whiskers are just as sensitive as his cock whiskers, I get an idea. I bring first one, then the other to my mouth, and suck on them.
Shinsu whimpers and it’s the most charming sound.
“That’s it,” I encourage. “Does my dragon like that?”
Shinsu’s grunt of affirmation turns into another whimper. Spurred on by his reaction, I do it again. I relish in the way Shinsu shudders and groans, but not for one second does he let up on me.
His tongue plunges into me, filling me, making my back arch and my toes curl. My eyes close as I submit to Shinsu’s ministrations, my whole body wholly belonging to him.
Over and over again, Shinsu fucks me with his tongue, feasting on me like I’m his new favorite meal, drawing wicked sounds of pleasure from me that I didn’t even know I could make.
My orgasm barrels into me with the force of a tidal wave, bubbling through my veins, as my pussy pulses around my dragon’s tongue.
When I open my eyes again, human Shinsu is hovering over me. His wet shoulder-length hair glows silver in the twilight, and from his head, two horns, so similar to his dragon’s, jut upward.
Never before have I felt in so much awe of someone as I do him.
Shinsu doesn’t say anything, his pulse hammering in his neck as he waits for me to speak first.
Cupping his jaw, I say, “You’re incredible, you know that? Majestic. Mine.”
He leans into my touch. “You’re the incredible one. You let me, my dragon, do that.” After a second he adds, “You don’t mind the horns staying?”
“I love the horns. They’re magnificent. Very elegant.”
Shinsu gazes down at me with such fierce hunger it makes my pussy jolt. “Want to try holding on to them when I fuck you later?”
I let my hand glide down and find his slit, letting his cock whiskers wrap around my wrist before I fist the base of his cocks. “Fuck me like I’m yours, Shinsu. I want to take all of you tonight.”
Shinsu’s cocks throb under my touch. “All? Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
In less than a second, I’m in Shinsu’s arms and he’s carrying me toward his—our—mill.
