Dire's Delights: The Reluctant Egg Warmer
#1 of Dire's Delights
This is part one of a four-part flash fiction series. My plan is to include art with each part, but I figured I'd use a less, shall we say, traditional approach: I post first, then invite artists who pass by to read and draw a scene to go with this part. I will use this same method for each of the remaining three parts. If it works well I will probably use for other stories/series.
So, here's how it works:
1) If you are an artist, I invite you to read this story (it will be your inspiration). I am seeking full-color sketches. If you're interested in drawing the scene to go with this story please PM me with a link to sketch of the piece you were inspired to draw, along with the price for the finished piece. You have full artistic freedom, as long as it's consistent with story content. I will choose one from among submissions. Those who submit will be tracked on my profile page, where I will also announce the one I select.
2) If you are not an artist, but know of one who might be interested refer them to this story. They must follow the instructions above. If I choose them I will pay you a $10 referral commission, paid via PayPal or Ko-Fi.
Whether you are an artist or not I encourage you to leave a comment. Let me know what you liked best about the story, what you didn't like, or what you think I can improve on. Your feedback will help me improve for future stories. And thanks for reading!
Characters featured in this story:
Darris, as himself (https://darris.sofurry.com/)
Jace zig-zagged through the forest, stopping every so often to scent for danger before moving on. The dense canopy did little to shield the icy rain from pelting his thick coat, soaking him to the bone. He'd been shivering for hours, but it was getting dark and he needed to find shelter, fast! He continued on until he reached the edge of a small clearing. He looked across and saw what appeared to be a large cave and hoped it was unoccupied with a dry place to sleep.
He took one step then stopped to look to either side, nose twitching. When he was sure it was safe, he cautiously padded across the soggy grass to the cave's entrance and stopped to sniff. It smelled of another predator, faint and stale. Jace whimpered with indecision, looking back the way he'd come. He loathed the prospect of another night in the rain, but he also didn't want to face another predator. Head drooping, he turned to leave.
Wet and cold is better than eaten, he thought.
A bellowing thunder-clap rolled through the sky, followed by a brilliant lightning flash. Jace dashed into the cave, facing away from the entrance, ears covered. Several flashes followed, illuminating the cave's interior enough for Jace to see. One revealed a large pile of furs, another a large hearth carved into the stone wall across from the pile. When it was safe, Jace stood and padded to the bed of furs. He stopped to sniff then flopped over, yawned and curled up and fell asleep.
While Jace slept the cave's occupant returned, echoing heavy foot-falls. Darris paused to eye the sleeping pup before setting the clutch of eggs he'd gathered into a nook beside the hearth. He rumbled, turning his attention to the pup, scratching his chin, tongue clicking.
"Well, well, my little trespasser. What shall I do with you? Hmmmm, what indeed?"
He rumbled again, his tail twitching behind him.
"Ahhhh," Darris cooed, grinning as he carefully coiled around the pup, his belly pressed against Jace's back.
"I know what to do with you, little pup. But first --"
Darris yawned then draped a wing over Jace, murmuring as his eyes closed.
"First a niiiiiiice nap."
Jace stretched, pressing his back against a solid warmth. He cracked his eyes open, yawned and lifted his head, eyes blinking to focus on a single sapphire eye looking back at him. Instantly, he recoiled into a tight ball, gaze darting about frantically.
Darris yawned, watching the pup's tiny eyes dance with fear. Inwardly he grinned, keeping his maw open longer than really needed, for the pup's benefit. When satisfied, his maw closed with a snap. He licked his snout and spoke, wing lifting only just enough to give the pup a good look at his face.
"Did you sleep well?"
Jace swallowed then nodded. Darris grinned.
"Good. I would hate to think you were not warm and comfortable ..."
Darris brought his head nose-to-nose with the pup and growled.
"... in my nest."
A hind leg stretched out to expose a swollen sheath easing up against Jace's rear. Jace jerked and looked back to see what it was, tail clamped down. He looked back at Darris, swallowed and squeaked.
"Th-thank you k-kind dragon. You have a v-very comfortable nest, s-s-so ... so soft and warm and d-dry."
Darris rumbled and pulled his head back, gaze fixed on the pup. Jace inched closer to the opening made from Darris raised wing, catching sight of the darkened cave entrance beyond. He swallowed then breathed a shaky sigh.
"Well, uh ... mister dragon, sir ... I-I--"
"Ohhh, no, no, no. Call me Darris, pup," Darris interrupted, pulling back his wing to look down at Jace, grinning. Jace's ears flattened. He watched his fore-paws fidget and though his gaze was lowered he could feel the weight of Darris' gaze upon him.
"Uh y-yes ... right. Mister dra ... I mean D-Darris ... s-sir."
Jace rose slowly to a crouch and edged closer to the opening. He braved a look up at Darris, who only looked back with a cocked head and the same fanged grin. Jace's ears pressed flatter. He swallowed then lowered his gaze back to the opening.
"W-well. I-I-I ... I should be going now."
"So soon?" Darris rumbled.
"U-uh ... y-y-yes," Jace replied, inching closer, rising to a near full stand.
"Pity. I was just about to eat."
Darris watched, opening his maw, tongue rolling over each dripping fang before clicking it on the roof of his mouth.
"Sure you won't join me?"
Jace shook his head, stepping closer.
"Uh ... w-well. T-that is a kind offer, but I really should be going."
"Oh. But I insist, pup." Darris replied, lowering his head to snuffle along Jace's back. Jace froze, trembling from the hot breath along his back.
Darris' snout slid back to Jace's hind-end then flicked his tongue under the clamped tail to brush the forked tips against the plump, fuzzy ball-sac hidden underneath. Jace squealed.
"Ah! I-I-I ... I gotta go!"
Jace leapt for the opening, but Darris pinned him with a swift fore-paw to the scruff of the neck. Jace yipped and struggled to get free. Darris stood to watch the helpless pup struggle until overcome with exhaustion.
"Yeeess. That's a good pup. Now just relax," Darris purred.
He slipped his tail-tip under Jace's belly and lifted to get his hind-end in a better angle before wiggling his tongue under Jace's clamped tail, pressing against the tight, quivering hole.
"Mmph! Ah ... w-w-what are you doing? Stop! Staaahhhhhp!" Jace whined, struggling to keep his tail clamped as if that could stop the muscular appendage from violating him. Jace eventually wore himself out again, waning his struggles and whines to weak pleas for release.
"P-p-please mister dra ... Darris, sir. Pleeasssse ... ooohhhhh .. oh ...whoa .... wwwooaah ... ohmygosh that .. that ... oohohohooohoo," Jace's pleas turned to groans as Darris' tongue slipped in and out of him, stretching and slicking the puppy hole with thick saliva.
Jace's eyes glazed and lidded as an expression of utter pleasure came over his face. His tail relaxed and even raised with encouragement from Darris' prodding snout. The more he relaxed the further Darris penetrated until half the tongue's length was working in and out of the hot entrance. Darris was prodding Jace's prostate, sending jolts of pleasure through his balls and sheath, causing it to swell until the crimson tip was peeking out. Jace became so entranced that he barely noticed when Darris withdrew his tongue. His ears flicked almost unconsciously to the sound of Darris shuffling behind him. It wasn't until he felt something hard and cold pressing at his hole did he come to.
"Mmhp!! W-w-hat is that? Stop! Wait-- Ah! Ohh .. Ah! ... AHHHaahhhooohhhhh ... ohmygosh! Whuff-f-f-f. Mmphhhhh ... oohhhhnhnngnhngnhnhn."
Jace grunted and cooed as the object was pushed into his well-lubed hole. It wasn't long before he felt another pressing in, pushing the first deeper. The sensation was odd but pleasurable. After the second a third and fourth were eased into him. He could feel his belly bulge. By now his cock was raging and seeping, dangling free of its sheath. It was dripping so profusely that a puddle of precum had formed on the ground beneath him. His eyes closed and he began to pant from the stuffed sensation. He licked his lips and managed a groaning sigh.
"Yeeesss, yes. That's a good, pup. Dragon eggs do taste best warm," Darris rumbled.
"I would have preferred to eat them freshly lain, but you will do nicely, I think."
Darris squeezed and rubbed Jace's bulging belly, waiting for the eggs to reach that perfect temperature, licking his chops with anticipation as a silver string of drool stretched from the corner of his maw.
