The Partnership
by
the Wolf
Daniel and
Zurt had been partners for a long time. Daniel knew that he should trust Zurt
completely with his life as he always had, but they had fallen on hard times. He
did have a bit of cause for worry as Zurt was a huge
female dragon. They had traveled together for as long as he could remember,
since long before the great dragon-human war. Before the war all dragonkind and humankind had worked together for either good
or evil. Daniel and Zurt were no exception. They were
bosom companions who would work for good on occasion but mostly just tried to
survive. They were travelers who did a good deed now and then when the need
arose, but their main loyalty was to each other. They could not count how many
times each had saved the other’s life, and on many lonely nights in isolated
countryside they had found ways to give each other sexual pleasure. Their
relationship was the closest thing to love that a man and a female dragon could
share.
Then came the great dragon-human war. Some treachery among a
group of humans reached the ear of every dragon in the area. An attack was made
on the group, and then retaliation was made on the wrong group of dragons. The
war continued to escalate after that, and soon the world was enveloped in
battle.
Some
dragons had a problem with the war but went along with their kind out of
loyalty. Others, however, had no compunctions about the war for one main
reason. Humans were considered a delicacy among dragonkind,
and the war allowed those dragons permission to devour as many humans as they
felt. As a result many dragons became fat and slow, making them easy pickings
for a vengeful human whose relative had become a quick snack. Zurt, however, had long ago sworn off eating humans save
when one threatened Daniel. That was one of the many ways she stayed alive.
Daniel
first received news of the war the hard way when he and Zurt
had come to a town and in a matter of moment fifty or more arrows were pointed
at her head. He managed to calm the villagers and tell them that Zurt meant them no harm just before they unloaded. When he
heard the whole story of the war and the ravaged countryside, he began to worry
that Zurt might decide to go with her kind into the
fray. When the were out of the town travelling again, Daniel asked her what she
planned to do and told her that he would not stand in her way. Her reply
surprised him.
“I’ve known
about the war since it began,” Zurt said, “It’s a
foolish thing that I wouldn’t be involved in to save my scales! Besides, my
true loyalty lies where it always has.”
As she said
this she ran a huge finger up and down his body. It gave him an erection, which
she quickly stroked gently with the tips of her fingers to show him just where
her loyalty did lie.
“I love
you,” he had said quietly.
After the
war was when the truly dark times came. Almost all of each species had been
killed. Those that were alive had a tough time living, as food was scarce due
to the destruction of crops and livestock. That was why Daniel was nervous. He
and Zurt were surviving, barely, but he had to wonder
what she was thinking sometimes. He could swear that over the last few months
following the end of the war, she had been staring at him with a hunger that
was not sexual. Usually this happened when they were beginning to run low on
rations and were heading to a place where there might be food. He never said anything, but he had begun to carry
his sword at his side at all times. He felt guilty that he did not trust his
friend/ lover, but he could not be too careful. Of course if a man and a dragon
were walking together, and the second party suddenly decided that the first
party would taste good at that point and time, there was not much that the first
party could do, sword or no sword. Still, it was better than nothing.
Zurt was feeling bad about herself. She was ashamed at some of the
thoughts and feelings she had been having lately. The first had happened about
a month after the war ended. Daniel was walking slightly ahead of her as they
headed for a broken down town that they hoped would have food. She was
absolutely famished, her eyes found Daniel’s body, and for a fraction of a
second she thought, Mmmm THAT would taste good right now! She
instantly pushed the thought from her mind and almost burst into tears. She
loved the human probably more than any human female could love him. A great
confusion began to grip Zurt’s mind. The female part
of her would look at Daniel and see a lifelong friend/lover who had stuck by
her through the good times and bad. The dragon part of her would look at him
and see delicious, tender, juicy meat that was being wasted walking around.
Over time, as food decreased, the problem got worse. She would have that same
thought on occasion for longer periods than a second. She would get a whiff of
him and her mouth would water. More symptoms had come as time passed, and she
had only hoped that he hadn’t noticed. She realized that this was in vain when
he began to carry his sword at all times. This hurt her deep inside. Zurt had always taken special care to make sure that she
was never in a position to hunger for his flesh. This was always a difficulty
on those nights that they pleasured each other. Daniel had begged her many times
to use her long snake-like tongue to get him off. She refused because she was
too afraid that she might get a taste for him and lap him up in the heat of the
moment, though she never told him this, as it would only worry him. She was
angry with herself for having this hunger and angry at him for thinking that
she would give into it. But at times she wondered if she would.
One night
when they were finishing dinner, as Zurt chewed on
her last pathetic strip of meat, she began to feel the hunger again. She tried
to make it subside by making conversation.
“How far to
the next town?” she asked casually trying not to think of what it would feel
like to swallow Daniel down.
“About two
day’s journey,” he said noticing the concern in her voice.
“What are
the chances of finding food in that area?” She asked this hoping that the
outlook would be good and dull her hunger.
Daniel was
afraid to answer her. He had seen how hungry Zurt was
getting earlier, and knew that the truth could make him a meal. He finally uttered
the one word expecting the worst: “Slim.”
Zurt’s mind began to search frantically for a way to
quell her hunger, while at the same time rationalizing the idea of eating
Daniel. She finally had a flash of inspiration.
“You know I
could fly...”
“No!!”
She had
expected this but had to try. As long as she had known him, since childhood,
Daniel had had a deadly fear of heights. Normally she understood, but now she
was furious. You stupid bastard, she
thought, I’m trying to save your life!
Then, in
thinking about the long journey, their chances of survival, and the taste of a
human, she lost her resolve.
Zurt scooped him up in one giant talon and took of his clothes with
the other. Daniel knew in an instant what was about to happen. He struggled for
a second then realized it was futile. He couldn’t believe it! After all the
enemies they had faced, all the challenges they had braved together, he was
about to die by his partner’s claw.
“I’m sorry
Daniel, but this is the only way that one of us will survive. I didn’t want it
to be this way, and I’ll always remember you fondly.”
“Please!
Don’t...”
“I love
you.”
With that
she placed him gently in her mouth. He was almost exactly the size of her
elongated snout. His taste was exquisite and was heightened by the very fact
that she was in love with him. She would make sure that he felt no pain.
Daniel was
thrust into total darkness when Zurt closed her
mouth. It was warm and moist. The smell of her breath was not exactly bad but
overwhelming. He could feel her tongue begin to work his body around, covering
him with saliva. Even though he knew he was only being tasted and that he would
die soon, the sensation of being in her mouth and having her tongue work all
over his body gave him an erection.
Suddenly
her tongue moved him into a position of being flat on his back. It wrapped
several times around his erection and began to move in ways that he had never
imagined. It would work the erection gently then spin/slide off it and back on
creating sensations he never thought possible until he came so hard that he
thought his heart might stop.
After the
tongue was finished pleasuring him, it began to work him head-first toward the
back of her mouth and toward the throat that would swallow him. He felt himself
be pitched into it and moved to the esophagus where muscles began to work his
whole body toward his end. The sensation of the working muscles and the slime
that was coating his body somehow excited. He had another erection which the
working of the esophagus slowly brought to orgasm.
He finally
emptied into her stomach and began to worry about the pain of digestion. There
was not enough air, however, in the stomach to keep him conscious, and he
quickly passed out never to feel anything again. Daniel’s last thought was that
if he had to die, at least he would be able to feed his lover.
Zurt sat in the field and smacked her lips. Daniel had been wonderful
meal and was already beginning to nourish her body. She flew off hoping to find
a young buck dragon that would give her a child and help her forget the pain of
losing her dearest friend. Although she knew it was not a proper dragon name,
the child would have to be called Daniel.
