In the Devil's Keeping

[cgraven]

The soft warmth of Orinda’s hand as it slipped in to his the way her fingers entwined with his and his love reached out to her in a warm subtitle flow of magic. Orinda felt a thrill of excitement rush through her making her squeeze Arawn's hand like an excited child about to be given a long desired present. Her soft violet eyes where shinning as the mage turned to her his heart embracing the joy he saw in his beloved slowly he withdrew his hand from hers and lifted the hood of her virginal white robe, a soft kiss on her flawless cheek, before he covered her raven tresses and the pale beauty of her face in the soft folds of the hood. He held his hand high in the formality, placed the palm of her hand on the back of his patting it gently.

The Lady Noir and Lord D’Lation glided to a graceful landing their beauty awesome in their natural form. Their was a slight shimmering of magic as the dragons transformed. Noir was always was the dark sensual beauty. D’Lation retained more of the beast to him, his face and form human his leathery wings folded back their bowed tips giving the illusion of a crown floating above his head. His robe the rich color of the golden red of the setting sun as was his skin.

Arawn Mage of the Four Winds, Orinda maid of the Living Fire, I present Lord D’Lation Of the second circle of the host of the Dragon Lords.

Arawn bowed in courtly grace drawing Orinda into that bow.

“Welcome Lord D’Lation to the Black Tower and the ascendancy of Orinda maid of the Living Fire.”

Arawn led Orinda to the drake D’Lation and placed her hand on his before taking The Lady’s Noir’s to lead them to the chapel where the ceremony of Orinda’s ascendancy would take place at the rising of the full moon.

Arawn led Orinda to the drake D’Lation and placed her hand on his before taking The Lady’s Noir’s to lead them to the chapel where the ceremony of Orinda’s ascendancy would take place at the rising of the full moon.

Orinda smiled warmly up to D'Lation, her violet eyes meeting his own and glittering with warmth and the childlike joy she felt with her hand in his. She could feel her mind crowding with a million things to say or ask all at once despite all her meditations and it only made her eyes glitter with amusement. They followed Arawn and Lady Noir quietly, Orinda didn't know quite what to say and D'Lation seemed content for the moment to remain silent.

As they walked down the halls Orinda could feel that warm pleasure she had felt in D'Lation's prescence before and smiled once more. Tapping the top of his hand very lightly she sent a small pulse of that same liquid pleasure running up through his arm and chuckled softly at the surprised look that widened his eyes. He obviously hadn't been expecting that! When their eyes met again his were sparkling as merrily as her own and he nodded just slightly in acknowledgment.

She couldn't help but wondering what he was thinking when he looked down at her and her fingers itched to reach out and stroke the soft leather of his wings. Still she kept her composure as they stepped into the chapel. She always felt a sense of calm steal over her in this room and now was no exception. She could see Arawn and Lady Noir's heads close together in quiet conversation as they settled into seats to await the rising of the mood and she smiled once more up to D'Lation before whispering softly to him, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person Lord D'Lation."

 

[cgraven]

D’Lation felt the soft stirrings of pleasure that rippled through the pale young human beauty, she was a mystery to him, he could only see her soft violet eyes and the tip of her nose under the hood that hid the rest of her face from him. Slow smile creased his lips as she let him know the pleasure she felt in his company.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person Lord D'Lation."

Her voice was soft as a summer’s breeze and her child like joy in his presence pleased him.

“As it is mine to meet you Lady Orinda.”

His soft sensual voice caressing her supple body.

At the rising of the moon Arawn and Noir stood. D’Lation drew Orinda to her feet and led her to the Marble alter. Again there was a small table yet this time it was covered with a pure white silken cloth. D’Lation eased the hood back from Orinda’s face and he gazed down at her, his eyes dark violet. He slipped the white robe from the girl’s shoulders as she stood naked before her drake for the first time. Steeping behind her he ran his fingers through her silken raven tresses gathering and drawing them back. The lady Noir cut Orinda’s hair so it just feel to the nape of her neck and then laid her shorn tresses on a side alter. Arawn placed his love on the alter, it cool surface caressing her fevered flesh.

The Mage intone a prayer to the Moon Goddess calling down a blessing on her. D’Lation lit a brazier the sweet fragrance of incense filled the air as he swung it to sanctified the alter and Orinda. Then the three came to her their mouths worshiping her body till Orinda supple body arched as her orgasm embraced her. Arawn took a golden ring from the table.

”Accept this ring as a token of my love for you Orinda.”

Its sharp point bit into her taunt nipple, as the girl’s scream echoed through-out the chapel. When her ragged breathing calmed D’Lation stepped forward a like golden ring in his hand.

“Lady Orinda accepts his ring as a token that you come willingly to me as your consort.”

Again searing pain ripped through the pale beauty’s tortured nipple. Then both Arawn and D’lation lips suckled her nipples till again the girl’s body withered and bucked with her intense pleasure.

Lady Noir helped Orinda from the alter and placed her shorn locks across the palms of her hands.

“Orinda maid of the Living Fire braid your shorn hair into reigns, a symbol of your commitment that will bind you as the Lord D’Lation’s rider.”

The ceremony of her ascendancy completed as D’Lation placed a robe of purest tawny gold silk upon her .

Each of the Dragons placed a sensual kiss on the girl’s full ripe lips. Then Arawn kissed his love. She was left standing between her dark and her love. As the pale moon set. She now must chose who to take to her bed this first nigh as a dragon rider.

 

[caela]

Watching the mood rise Orinda's breath quickened as she was led to the alter. Her eyes smiled up into D'Lations when he pushed back the hood of her cloak and she was glad to see that his eyes were indeed as violet as she'd thought them in her vision of them before. She watched quietly as he stepped behind her he ran his fingers through her silken raven tresses gathering and drawing them back. The lady Noir cut Orinda’s hair so it just feel to the nape of her neck and then laid her shorn tresses on a side alter.

Reaching up she touched her hair where it now ended at the nape of her neck and she couldn't help the small laugh at the way her head felt like it was floating without her long tresses. She allowed herself to be stretched out on the alter once more and as the three of them began to caress and torment her body with pleasure she was soon writhing and whimpering her pleasure. She tried to reach to them all, her fingertips brushing in small caresses when she could reach them, letting them know she savored the pleasure they gave.

”Accept this ring as a token of my love for you Orinda.”

She heard Arawns voice through the haze of pleasure in her mind and then felt hte piercing pain as the ring went through her nipple. A scream filled her throat and her back arched up off the alter. Sinking back she gasped to catch her breath and shot a thought off to Arawn that only he could hear, Do you always have to surprise me with those? And just when do I get to stick a needle into you love? Her eyes glittered for just a moment as she held his gaze before she heard D'Lations seductive voice murmuring above her.

“Lady Orinda accepts his ring as a token that you come willingly to me as your consort.”

Prepared for the pain this time she still arched up at it but this time her cry was ofter, her body expecting the surge of pain through her other nipple. As both men leaned over her body she reached up to embrace them both, tenderly stroking the back of their necks and holding them both to her. As her body began to writhe once more she would happily have taken them both together and she found she couldn't get the thought out of her head as Lady Noir helped her from the alter.

Stroking the length of hair Noir placed in her palms she smiled softly. It was easy for her to picture how they would look braided and treated to form reins for her to ride D'Lation in his dragon form.

She felt the new cloak being placed over her shoulders and smiled softly before they each came forward to place a sensual kiss to her lips. She was surprised to realize the moon was setting already and as she looked between Arawn and D'Lation she realized she would need to make a choice tonight. Her body and heart ached to go to Arawn for she'd missed him bitterly the last three days and yet she didn't want to insult D'Lation on her first night as his rider.

Praying Arawn wouldn't be jealous she moved to him and pressed a tender kiss to his lips as she thought silently to his mind, You know I must go with him tonight, if I didn't it would be an insult to him and you yourself told me dragons are proud. Be prepared for a hellcat when next I am in your bed my love. Out loud her words were simple and softly spoken though all could hear, "Good night my love, and thank you so very much. I'll treasure your ring always."

Turning away from him she moved to the Lady Noir and kissed the other woman's cheek softly in thanks for her being here. She said nothing but the look in her eyes begged the other woman to see that Arawn wasn't left alone all night.

Finally she turned to D'Lation, her violet eyes already darkening as she held a hand out to him, "Would you join me Lord D'Lation?"

 

[cgraven]

Time seemed to stand still as the young beauty stood between her lover and her new consort. The mage felt the touch of her mind You know I must go with him tonight,………. His emotions raging warring within Arawn could do no more than bow to Orinda as a silent acceptance of what must be. He saw the look in his love’s soft violet eyes as she kissed Noir’s cheek and knew the silent plea she made to the dark beauty.

Arawn watched as Orinda turned to Lord D’Lation her violet eyes already darkening as she held a hand out to him.

"Would you join me Lord D'Lation?"

Arawn felt the soft caress of the Lady Noir’s hand on his When the young couple left for Orinda’s bed, and suddenly he felt very old and alone and empty.

She thinks of you and your need this night Arawn even as she takes D’lation to her bed.”

“I known my lady”

The mage softy whispered as a tear slowly moistened his weathered cheek.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

D’Lation let Orinda led him to her chamber, his blazing sunset tawny eyes feasting on the sensual way the young woman’s body swayed as she walked, he beauty beyond belief, the purity of her spirit so tantalizing.

Slowly he stripped away her robe and laid her on the back silk sheets, his own robe slipped from his body and he came to her his lips brushed hers in a hungry kiss savoring the sweetness of Orinda’s mouth. D’Lation’s mouth and fingers gently explored her supple body as it arched to the pleasure he brought her. When she was gasping in the throws of their first orgasm he placed her on her hands and knees taking her as a beast would take his mate his wings enfolding the young beauty in their embrace.. He trust into her driving hard till his lust burst forth to fill her as Orinda screamed her own orgasm.

D’Lation rolled from her, leaving her empty as he withdrew from her body. He folded her in his wings and kissed the nape of her neck.

“You please me Orinda.”

 

[caela]

D’Lation rolled from her, leaving her empty as he withdrew from her body. He folded her in his wings and kissed the nape of her neck. “You please me Orinda.”

Snuggling in against D'Lation's chest a small smile curved her lips at his words. She'd felt just how deeply sensual a creature her drake was in the pleasure he gave her and had hoped she would be able to please him. Hearing that she had made her happy.

"You've pleased me as well D'Lation, though I think you knew that already," she teased him. Turning her head to look into his violet eyes so like her own she was startled to realize that while he brought her intense pleasure she didn't lose herself in that gaze the way she once had lost herself in Lady Noir's. They were beautiful and warm and very very attractive, just looking into them she could feel herself yearning for him again...but they didn't try to capture her soul.

She smiled once more as she realized D'Lation wouldn't come between herself and Arawn any more than the Lady Noir did. D'Lation could call to her body but he didn't pull at her heart in anything more than the pleasures of the body and the friend she hoped he'd become. Snuggling into him she purred happily and let herself drift off to sleep. Her last thoughts on Arawn as she unconciously reached out to brush her mind against his before sleep claimed her.

 

[cgraven]

“I known my lady”

The mage softy whispered as a tear slowly moistened his weathered cheek.

Noir kissed away that solitary tear and gently took Arawn to her chamber and to her bed. The dark beauty brought the mage what pleasure she could. They joined as old friends and lovers. Their was none of the wild passion that he shared with Orinda, nor was their the rapture that dragons had on humans for they had each other to long and to well for that. There was one friend comforting another as best she could and he giving to her what he could.

The Mage felt the gentle loving touch of Orinda’s mind as the night gave way to dawn and fell in to a deep slumber.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The next day they all gathered in the training room. Arawn assisted Orinda into her armor. Her body supple and its toned beauty obvious to all D’Lation’s eyes turned darkly violet as Noir chastised him.

Lord D’Lation this is either the time nor the place for that.

If it where possible for a dragon to blush then the Lord D’Lation did.

Yes My Lady Noir.

Arawn brought out the bridles and saddles that they would need for the day’s exercises, as the dragons assumed their natural forms. He again was the mentor demonstrating how to saddle and bridle the great winged serpents. It was the first time that Orinda saw the magnificent saddle that he hand made for her, and smiled as her soft eyes lit up like a child at Yule Tide. Arawn assisted Orinda into the saddle her eased back the two tabs on her armor that covered her ringed nipples and threaded a set of practice reigns from the rings to the bit of D’Lation’s bridle.

“ It is much like riding a horse Orinda you communicate your wishes through the reigns and by nudging your mount with your heels and gripping him with your thighs. Just let your wishes flow along the reigns, it will be easier when you have made your own.”

He threaded his own rings through his breasts and mounted Noir.

For the first time in her young life Orinda took to the skies as a dragon rider, it was no dream but reality. Arawn smiled as he saw the excitement in her eyes. As they soared together across the skies on their mounts.

 

[caela]

Lord D’Lation this is either the time nor the place for that.

Orinda didn't look up when she heard the Lady Noir chastise D'Lation but she couldn't supress the way her lips twitched to hide a smile and her eyes glittered with amusement. She had felt his eyes on her and knew well what he was probably thinking.

Smiling to Arawn she barely resisted the urge to kiss him tenderly, only her months of conditioning to think of him as her Master in the practice room kept her from doing it but she let her eyes caress the sight of him and let him know what was in her heart and mind. She was glad to have him help her with her armor and shivered as his hands moved over her. It might have been a professional touch but it was his touch all the same.

When she saw her saddle her face indeed lit like a child at Yule Tide and she couldn't help flying at Arawn and pressing small kisses against his cheeks, eyes, and finally a tender kiss to his lips. "It's beautiful!" She watched intently as Arawn saddled D'Lation for her, making careful note of how tight to cinch the saddle and where its best placement was.

Climbing up into the saddle she shivered when Arawn threaded the reigns through her nipple rings and she suddenly realized that riding D'Lation could end up being a very exciting thing indeed on more than one level.

As they rose up into the air she closed her eyes and savored the sweet sensation of flight for the first time. It took some time but she soon figured out how to manage the reigns and to let D'Lation know what she wanted mostly through her knees. Arawn was right, it was much like signalling what you wanted from a horse.

It didn't take long for D'Lation and Orinda to grow used to each other and soon they were flying almost as smoothly as Arawn and Lady Noir if not quite as daringly. It would take time before they trusted each other enough to be quite the show offs that the pair was. Hovering in the air Orinda laughed as Arawn and Lady Noir made daring manuevers that caught her breath and she could feel the way D'Lation's muscles tightened under her while he watched, she could almost feel him itching to try and murmured, "Not yet D'Lation. Let's get the basics down to instinct together before we try something where we might hurt each other."

Smiling softly she reach out and stroked his neck in a slow caress to take some of the sting out of her caution. She knew he wanted to try but she also knew she wouldn't trust him enough yet and would get them both hurt. Orinda was gratified when he listened and remained where they could watch.

Finally she just laughed and opened her mind to Arawn and Lady Noir - knowing they'd never hear her above the wind - to ask, are you two done showing off yet? There was laughter in her tone as she asked and they knew she was teasing.

 

[cgraven]

Finally she just laughed and opened her mind to Arawn and Lady Noir - knowing they'd never hear her above the wind - to ask, are you two done showing off yet? There was laughter in her tone as she asked and they knew she was teasing.

Orinda felt the loving touch of Arawn’s mind a gentle silent caress. Don’t be importunate Young Lady Came the teasing sensual touch of Noir’s mind and the merry laughter as the Dark Beauty touched Orinda’s mind.

Orinda’s and D’Lation training began in earnest. The seasoned pair had given the novices the morning to become use to the feel of each other in the skies. Know they would have to duplicated the maneuvers that Arawn and Noir preformed. The mage could feel the shock and surprise in the pale beauty’s mind when he told her and just a bit of nervous trepidation as well.

Orinda trust me, it is like magic just let it flow, D’Lation knows how to fly you know how to shape the magic be one and you’ll be fine.

At first the maneuvers where fairly simple turns and dive followed by soaring ascents. But gradually they increased in difficulty till the tow pair of dragon riders where plummeting in spirals toward the ground reaching up to meet them. Only to pull up at that last possible moment to skim the contour of the earth only o rocket back up into the clear blue skies. Their wild airal ballet continued till the sun touched the edge of the western horizon.

When they had again returned to the obsidian tower the ritual of unsaddleling the dragons commenced. Arawn Looked to the Lady’s Noir’s need before his own and when at last Noir and D’Lation assumed their human form the young drake was soaked in sweat on exhausted.

“Orinda tend to Lord D’Lation.”

Arawn charged her and three days passed with Orinda and D’Lation continually in each other’s company before Orinda had a chance to come see Arawn out side of training. He sat in his chamber his shoulders stooped his heart empty form the forced separation from his love.

 

[caela]

Arawn charged her and three days passed with Orinda and D’Lation continually in each other’s company before Orinda had a chance to come see Arawn out side of training. He sat in his chamber his shoulders stooped his heart empty form the forced separation from his love.

Those days were a torture to Orinda. To see Arawn daily and yet have no time to slip into his arms broke her heart. She ached for him desperatly. D'Lation was in her bed each night and brought her indescribable pleasure and while her body was sated her heart was not. Before she drifted off to sleep each night her mind reached out to feel the touch of Arawn's and whisper her love to him. She could feel the emptiness in him and felt it echoing in herself.

Finally they were given a free day from their training and D'Lation had flown off to his mountain glade. He'd offered to take Orinda with him but she'd just kissed his cheek and told him she needed time with Arawn. He'd understood and flown off into the morning sky while Orinda went to Arawn's chamber.

Finding him in his chair she sank to her knees at his side and gently drew his head down until her lips met his in a tender kiss. I love you. her mind whispered to his while her lips refused to give up their kiss.

 

[cgraven]

Each nigh the mage would toss restlessly till he felt the gentle touch of her mind on his as whisper her love to him. He could not rest till he felt the sweet torture of that touch and whispered back I love you.

Arawn felt the soft fall of Orinda’s bare feet on the cold stone floor of the tower, and then she sank to her knees at his side and gently drew his head down until her lips met his in a tender kiss. I love you. her mind whispered to his while her lips refused to give up their kiss. The mages clinging to her soft lips as if his life depended on it. Time stood still, their was no past, now future, just now just that one perfect kissed filled with their love and longing for each other.

She was in his arms the warmth of her body warming his soul as he carried her to his bed, reclining he drew her down to him their kiss unbroken. He knew he could reach out and used the magic to rid them of their robs, yet he did not. For this evening he wanted to come to his love as a man not a mage, not as her master or mentor but just as a man who loved her. His heart almost broke, as he broke that one perfect kiss, his lips desperately clinging to hers till the last possible moment. Slowly her rose his hands slipping his black robe from his body to stand before her as just a man.


He lowered his body to the bed his fingers going to the cincture at her waits, a gentle tug as it slipped lose , his fingers where trembling as he peeled back her robe baring her to his view. Orinda’s silken skin was no longer as pale as the soft moon light but shown with a soft tawny golden hue. Her dark raven mane in sharp contrast. He had been prepared for the change as it was the result of her being D’Lation’s consort. He lay beside her his body caressed close to her as his finger tips lightly tease and please her as they again caressed her in tender intimacy.

I do believe you said my love…..Be prepared for a hellcat when next I am in your bed my love.

Arawn whispered as he nibbled at her earlobe.

 

[caela]

I do believe you said my love…..Be prepared for a hellcat when next I am in your bed my love.

She smiled softly at the reminder of her words and curled her body in closer against his, her touch soft as it caressed and outlined his body. "I was wrong, I don't want to be a hellcat, I want to be soft and gentle and make love to you all day until the sun comes up in the morning. I've missed you my love."

Rolling to her side to face him she wrapped one leg over his hip to open her body to him and teased his chest with the soft flesh of her breasts. Her lips caught his again in a soft lingering kiss filled with passion but it was a slow burning passion that would demand hours of such kisses and caresses before it would be sated.

 

[cgraven]

I was wrong, I don't want to be a hellcat, I want to be soft and gentle and make love to you all day until the sun comes up in the morning. I've missed you my love."

Rolling to her side to face him she wrapped one leg over his hip to open her body to him and teased his chest with the soft flesh of her breasts.

There had always been violence, though be it tender at times, when they had made love weather it was Orinda’s rape that first night when her body became a willing participant, when she was bond by to him only by her word to serve the tall dark mage, or when they feed their own dark passions. Yet this time it was very different for Arawn only wished to please his love with his body.

His kisses trailed living fire across her supple body in their passionate wake. His caresses as soft as the evening breeze teasing and pleasing his love in a tender torture till her body arched to his with the force of the pleasure that engulfed her . Yet he loved her as a man there was no trace of magic, not gentle touches to her mind. Arawn made love to the tawny beauty’s body, heart and soul. He gave his whole being to her nothing held back nothing hidden. his heart and soul bared to her as was his body.

More than two hours had passed before he first entered his love quivering pussy. His strokes where long and slow at first so he could enflame her every sensation. Their tempo leisurely built his thrusts more forceful his withdrawals maddening slow. He let his loves body tell him of her needs and then lovingly met them.

“I love you Orinda.”

He whispered as his hot moist breath bathed her neck as he nibbled her ear lobe.
There would be time for their darker passions later.

 

[caela]

More than two hours had passed before he first entered his love quivering pussy. His strokes where long and slow at first so he could enflame her every sensation.

Orinda savored every minute that he spent torturing her body with pleasure and she relished returning that sweet torment. Her fingers caressed and her lips kissed and suckled wherever they could reach. When her body was quivering with need and he finally entered her she hissed her pleasure and arched to him. She was in no hurry to rush their pace as he claimed her slowly, instead she clenched those slick inner walls around him and massaged his cock with her body.

“I love you Orinda.”

"And I you my Arawn, always," she whispered and turned her head to capture his lips in a soul searing kiss. As she kissed him her body rose to meet his thrusts and her arms and legs twined around him holding him deeply inside of her loving body.

 

[cgraven]

As she kissed him her body rose to meet his thrusts and her arms and legs twined around him holding him deeply inside of her loving body.

He loved the slow sensually seductive pace his love set, the way her the moist silken walls of her cunt grasped him, holding him tight, he felt her taunt abdomen tense and released as her muscles rippled across his cock. And the way her arms and legs wrapped around him to draw him fully with in her. Arawn’s groin ground against her hot wet pussy. They climaxed together their liquid passion mingling as they gasped their pleasure in each other.

The afternoon wore on, Orinda’s sweet succulent mouth and lips enkindling his passion tilled they had enjoyed each others bodies in everyway possible. Before falling into and exhausted sleep.

The Lovers did not wake till the next morning D’Lation had not called to his consort but left her peacefully in the arms of her lover.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The airal training session became more intense more deadly in their grace as Orinda and D’Lation learned to work as a team. She now learned the use of the lance the most beautiful and deadly weapon of a dragon rider and the highest combative form. Often after a training session D’lation would go with the Lady Noir to hold a private conversation.

He still came to Orinda’s bed and pleasured her. One night as they lay in each others arms the young drake asked.

“Lady Orinda can you tell me of the feelings between you and the dark mage?’

He knew the question was highly personal but he had grown close to her and looked on the young human maid as a friend.

 

[caela]

“Lady Orinda can you tell me of the feelings between you and the dark mage?"

Orinda smiled softly and curled in against D'Lation. She enjoyed the evening they spent together, the feel of being wrapped in his wings after they'd pleasured each other was a unique one. She'd sensed that this question was coming and hadn't known how to bring it up herself and so she'd waited for him to ask.

Turning in his arms so that she could look up at him she kissed the end of his nose playfully and smiled. "I love him in the deepest way humans can love. He's had my soul in his keeping for a long time but if I had it myself I would make it a gift to him and my heart is his as well."

Going silent for a moment she looked deep into D'Lations eyes before she continued quietly. She told him of her sister's betrayal, being brought to the Tower, her training, learning what Arawn wanted of her, and learning to love. She trusted D'Lation and had grown to see him as the friend she had hoped he'd be and so she told him too of her trials and of D'or and himself and how she'd come to choose between them. By the time she was done with her tale it was dawn and the sun was just peeking over the horizon.

"Would you rather I had choen otherwise D'Lation? Does it bother you that I cannot love you as I do Arawn? Lady Noir told me that dragons don't, can't, love as humans do and so I thought to choose where respect, friendship, and pleasure were all possible together."

 

[cgraven]

"Would you rather I had chosen otherwise D'Lation? Does it bother you that I cannot love you as I do Arawn? Lady Noir told me that dragons don't, can't, love as humans do and so I thought to choose where respect, friendship, and pleasure were all possible together."

The young rake smiled at his consort and mimicking her kissed the tip of her cute little upturned nose.

“Your choice pleased me greatly Orinda and it warms me that you desired me as a friend.’

The young drake fell silent for a moment a wistful look in his enchanting eyes. He remained silent for a long time. When he did speak it was slowly and thoughtfully.

“Orinda what you say about Dragons and love is true to a degree. We can not love humans as they love each other for our assumed shape can give pleasure but little else other than a deep friendship. But Dragons can love in their natural state and I…………….”

His voiced trail off his thought not completed or voiced.

 

[caela]

“Orinda what you say about Dragons and love is true to a degree. We can not love humans as they love each other for our assumed shape can give pleasure but little else other than a deep friendship. But Dragons can love in their natural state and I…………….”

Orinda was startled by what D'Lation said. She'd never doubted that dragons could love, Lady Noir had simply said that it wasn't as human did and Orinda hadn't thought out fully just what that might mean. Looking up into D'Lation's eyes she had to ask, "You what D'Lation?"

She truly wasn't sure where that thought of his was going... had he been about to say that he loved her? Or perhaps had he been about to tell her that he loved the Lady Noir as she loved Arawn? She'd seen them going off together after their training sessions lately and had been both grateful - for it gave her time with Arawn - as well as pleased. She had hoped that the two dragons were perhaps exploring a relationship together for while Lady Noir had told her that they couldn't love humans as humans did that didn't mean that they couldn't love each other just as fully.

"What is it D'Lation, let's not have secrets between us?"

 

[cgraven]

"What is it D'Lation, let's not have secrets between us?"

“You are right My Lady there should be no secrets between us.”

He paused wondering if what he was about to say would offend his consort and wound her pride. He knew what an integral part of his nature pride was and assumed it must be so with the beautiful young maiden. Her beauty and the purity of her spirit must make it so.

“I love the Lady Noir, I do not mean to offend you My lady but that is the truth and I believe that she may love me as well I have seen it in her eyes It is the same look that shines in yours when you look at the dark mage and think that nobody else see.”

The young drake’s eyes slowly shifted from the soft violet of Orinda’s eyes to the burning gold of the Lady Noir’s as he spoke of her and his feelings for the dark beauty.

“We dragons are like the wolf or the swan we take but one mate and mate for life. And if our mate dies then we are alone for eternity or till we join them in the stars at our own death.”

And if our mate dies then we are alone for eternity or till we join them in the stars at our own death.”

A bright smile lit Orinda's face at D'lation's words and she hugged him fiercely. Her joy for him in finding love practically spilling from her pores as she kissed him exuberantly.

"D'Lation that is wonderful! I could never be offended by you being in love my friend. If she returns your love than all the better. I can't think of anything I would like better than to have the two beings I call my friends to be as deeply and happily in love as I am."

Orinda cuddled into D'Lation with a delighted grin on her face. Arawn had worked too hard to train her pride out of her for the small amount that remained to be pricked by D'Lation loving Lady Noir. She couldn't think of a better mate for him. In her own way she loved them both, though not as she loved Arawn of course, and if they could find joy mated to each other than she wouldn't dream of trying to stand between them.

"You have to tell her, if you haven't already my friend. I am not jealous D'Lation and if being mated means that I lose the pleasure we give each others bodies it is worth it to see you both happy. Being mated won't effect either of you having a rider will it?"

"You have to tell her, if you haven't already my friend. I am not jealous D'Lation and if being mated means that I lose the pleasure we give each others bodies it is worth it to see you both happy. Being mated won't effect either of you having a rider will it?"

D’Lation could sense Orinda’s joy and the feel of her as she kissed and cuddled him brought him a warm glow of pleasure that he shared with his consort.

“On It wouldn’t. My Lady I have a confession I have spoken to The Lady Noir and she did not reject me but said I must speak to you first as she would have to speak to the Mage.”

The young dark suddenly paused his ever fiber alert.

“You don’t think the Mage would refuse her do you My Lady”?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Lady Noir did in fact speak to Arawn and he gave his blessing knowing how rare it was to find love and even more so for dragons.

 

[caela]

“You don’t think the Mage would refuse her do you My Lady”?

Orinda laughed softly and shook her head before pressing a tender kiss to D'Lation's forhead. "No my friend. In fact I believe he will be as happy for you both as I am. He knows what a gift it is to love and I have no doubt that he will give his blessing just as I have."

Grinning like a young girl she started making wedding plans in her head and suddenly burst into laughter. She'd been thinking of the sort of weddings she'd seen as a young girl in her fathers court and since when had anything here been like her father's court?! D'Lation and Lady Noir weren't human they were dragns and she was sure they had they're own mating ceremonies.

"You have to tell me how I can help...if I can help...for whatever ceremony will bind you both to each other. You'll have to give me details and tell me what to do though because all I have experience with are human weddings." Laughing again she cuddled closer still and drew a blanket up over them before she murmured sleepily. "But that will have to wait, we need to get some sleep, I can't send you to your mate tomorrow looking like I kept you up all night!"

"But that will have to wait, we need to get some sleep, I can't send you to your mate tomorrow looking like I kept you up all night!"

“Nor I to your mate with the scent of recent pleasure clinging to you.”

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The joy of both D’Lation and Noir as well as that of Orinda and Arawn was short lived with the arrival of D’or bring word that a demon horde had escaped the bonds of hell and where threatening the Eastern human realms. That which the Mage feared most had come to pass humanity was scattered and squabbling among their selves, the Elves remained hidden as if the fate of the world was not their concern. The time for training and preparing now cut short as war was suddenly upon them.

That evening in the dark of the moon D’Lation and the Lady Noir where joined in the ancient ritual of dragons in the small chapel. D’or presided as Orinda and Arawn stood as their witnesses. In Many respects the way the dragon couple vowed their love was very much like the human ceremonies that Orinda had witnessed but in others it was strange and darkly beautiful.

D’Lation and Noir took wing at the conclusion and where not seen for the next week. Though all knew that time was precious they needed their time of seclusion to consummate their love. Arawn spent longs hours into the night in consul with D’or. During the day he would exercise Orinda mercilessly in all her skills. Yet D’or watched the young maid at her training wit covetous eyes from hiding.

As the fourth day dawn after the arrival of D’or the dragons returned. And Arawn presented Orinda with the great winged helm of a dragon rider.

“Lady Orinda you and D’Lation will spread the word to the human kingdoms. While I and Noir go in search of the Elvin nations. We have no more than three weeks to gather our forces. And meet at the pass to the western kingdoms. Fly swift and fly sure for all our fates hang in the balance.”

He paused taking a steadying breath.

“We fly at sunset.”

The joy of both D’Lation and Noir as well as that of Orinda and Arawn was short lived with the arrival of D’or bring word that a demon horde had escaped the bonds of hell and where threatening the Eastern human realms.

They were all surprised at hte news but they had known it must come sooner or later. It was why Orinda was being trained after all. As they stepped up the plas for the ceremony for D'Lation and Noir Orinda was uneasy. She didn't like the way D'or seemed to watch her when he thought no one was looking. Finally the ceremony was over and D'Lation and Noir had gone to consumate their Union.

Orinda though her uneasiness would improve then but it only worsened. As she trained with Arawn she could still fee D'or watching her and she shivered because he never did so openly. Still her training left her exhausted as Arawn pushed her harder than ever before and honed her skills to a razor's fne edge and she had little time to think about D'or or his envious gaze.

Finally four days later D'Lation and Noir returned and while they were all tense there was still an aura of joy about them that made Orinda smile. The girl ran up and hugged both her friends, pressing a small happy kiss to each one's cheek before stepping away so Arawn could give them their assignments.

“Lady Orinda you and D’Lation will spread the word to the human kingdoms. While I and Noir go in search of the Elvin nations. We have no more than three weeks to gather our forces. And meet at the pass to the western kingdoms. Fly swift and fly sure for all our fates hang in the balance.” “We fly at sunset.”

Looking to D'Lation she smiled warmly and shoo'd him and Noir out of the room murmuring, "Make the most of your last hours with her, I'll see you at the Tower at sunset."

Just as she sent them off she turned to to Arawn and smiled suggestively. "We have a few hours before sunset love, I think we shold make the most of them as well."

 

[cgraven]

Just as she sent them off she turned to Arawn and smiled suggestively. "We have a few hours before sunset love, I think we should make the most of them as well."

Arawn face was drawn with worry and sleepless nights, D’or had kept him up till well after the mid point of the night and there had been little time for rest or the comfort of his love’s embrace. Griffins and other less winged beast had come with scouting reports on the hordes movement as they pressed the Eastern human Kingdoms. The human’s seemed to fear the dragons and winged beast as much as the demonic horde. For there was no one in living memory that had really scene a dragon, or the other winged beast they ha passed from the memory of man into legend.

A slow smiled formed on the mages lips his eyes sparkling with the desire he saw in his loves.

“I think that is an excellent idea Orinda.”

He took her hand and teleported them to his bed not wishing to waste a moment of the limited time they had together. This was the first time that she had ever scene or experienced this particular form of magic. As they took shape on the bed she noticed their clothing had not survived the event. There was a dark burning hunger in the Mages eyes leaving his love with the sure knowledge that this time their love would not be slow or gentle.

Arawn fell upon her his mouth rough and hungering for the taste of her lips. His callused hand pinched and pulled at her taunt nipples as he broke their savage kiss. He kissed, licked and nipped his way down her body to lash her sweet sex with mouth tongue and teeth till Orinda’ sweet nectar flowed freely and he lapped it up greedily. He nipped at her inner thighs kissed his was down her long sculptured athletic legs to suckle each of her toes in turn. When his body was posed over her he trust into her in one swift stroke Rolled to his side so they faced each other and had full access on to the other and made wild dark passion love to Orinda, his nails racked her back and bit into her firm heart shaped ass. His mouth mualed her breast in his passion, to claim her lips as her orgasm engulfed her.
