A warm breeze trailed over Marvin's canine fur as he walked down the sidewalk. People in groups of varying numbers of all shapes and sizes passed by him, each of them busily heading to their next destination. A few were families, the parents carrying their heavy belongings while the young children looked around with innocent eyes drinking in their surroundings. Marvin casually noted the smattering of young teens eager to get their holiday started, their phones out and selfies snapping poses left and right. Most numerous, however, were the couples Marvin was quite used to seeing. Some were holding hands whilst others were leaning close to one another. He even passed by a couple who stole between themselves a quick tender kiss, enjoying the view on the horizon.

Marvin smiled especially at that view, passing by the particularly romantic couple as he made his way to work. He had to admit that even if he had lived his entire life on this island, the view of the beach was always something special to behold. Still, he wished his job was equally grand. Turning his eyes away with a soft sigh, Marvin made his way to their shack, a small wooden outpost situated at the center of a crowded beach. He greeted his coworkers who were all getting dressed--or in this case, undressed--to switch into their appropriate attire. Reaching for his sunscreen, Marvin slapped a healthy amount on his chest and his back before making his way outside with his shades, binoculars, and whistle in hand. The Doberman then made his way up the Lifeguard tower, seated himself on the cheap plastic chair bolted to the top, and was now ready to get right to work.

Work that pretty much...just had him watching people.

Sure, being a lifeguard seemed exciting on TV, but the reality was often quite uneventful. This was pretty much the everyday routine for him. Day in, day out, Marvin worked as a lifeguard in this small shack, at this side of the beach, in this island he called home. Beach life was relatively dull, and his job was just as relatively laid back. He'd just sit in his chair and generally make sure no troubling tourists would cause any problems with regular patrons on his watch. The only time his job would get serious was during peak vacation time in the summer and, surprisingly, during the winter. When December rolled around, tourists would flock in to get away from the cold climate and enjoy the warmth of the tropical sun. More tourists meant more business, but also more undesirables and chances for swimming-related incidents, and Marvin couldn't afford to be anything other than immediately ready to take action in case something went awry. Granted, Marvin preferred a lazy life, but he wasn't keen on having someone die on his watch.

The canine heard his phone vibrate and answered the call coming from his friend. The two shared pleasantries, before his friend immediately got to the point of the call.

"So, uh, you know Crystal Sands, right?"

While listening to the voice from the phone pressed against his ear with one hand, Marvin had been using his other hand to survey the beach with his binoculars, keeping a sharp eye out for any sort of trouble. "You mean the porn star?"

A chuckle came from the other line. "No, not her, you sick bastard."

Marvin smiled. "Yes, I know Crystal Sands. It's that new resort that opened down a few streets from us? That place looked expensive as hell."

"Yeah! That one!" His friend on the phone sounded ecstatic. "They're hosting this crazy luau party. You should totally come."

Marvin frowned. "And gate crash?" He snorted. "No thank you, Ken. I'm not interested in getting kicked out of some fancy hotel."

"Kicked out? What the hell are you on about?"

"The Crystal Sands luau party is invite only. Last I checked, I didn't get an invite," he answered begrudgingly.

"Oh..." Ken replied in a guilty tone. "Oh I totally forgot, my bad."

Marvin sighed and shook his head, trying to play it off. "You just go and have fun. I'll sit this one out."

"Okay dude."

After making sure the phone call had ended, Marvin grumbled in irritation and placed his phone back into the drawer.

Luaus and parties in general were a common thing in their area. With the various resorts and hotels placed near the beach, it wasn't uncommon to hear music blaring loudly by some famous DJ that the establishment flew out to entertain guests. They were definitely fun, and Marvin always enjoyed them whenever he could. Unfortunately, some parties were more exclusive than others, and those special ones usually had the best food, best booze, and most importantly, the best people too.

The canine sighed, shaking his head. Oh well, there would always be other parties down the line. There was no point in getting hung up over this one. Marvin took out his binoculars once more and began to survey the beach. There were some families under a rented beach umbrella making sandcastles with their kids. Some of the teens he saw were earlier were splashing one another at near the water, and at least one of the couples were just lying down peacefully under the shade of their umbrella while a few were sensually applying sunscreen on the back of their partners. He even spotted a pair who had a towel covering their lower half. The crotch portion of the towel was moving up and down suspiciously.

Marvin rolled his eyes. "Get a room," he mumbled, smiling to himself. This was the sort of behavior that was certainly not condoned at a public beach, but he figured as long as they weren't disturbing the peace, he'd let it slide. He shifted his direction towards the land mass that jutted from the water. Upon the edge were multiple overhangs from the rocky outcrop. Some were noticeably high, and tourists would often utilize them as a thrill spot attraction. A few others were roped off, however, considered too dangerous for base jumping.

A loud scream emanated from not far in front of him. Marvin watched warily as a brave fellow jumped off the side of the highest accessible point and into the deep blue water down below. A large splash split the water, followed by cheers and applause from his peers who were just behind the ropes at the top and jostling around for a better view. Marvin briefly reached for his whistle and the emergency gear he had on hand. It always made him antsy whenever people jumped off the cliff edge. Mainly because some tourists would always be stupid enough to try and...

The Doberman stood upright quickly the instant he noticed a couple of the rowdy tourists nearly fall off the rock with how firmly they were shoving each other. A loud piercing noise cut through the air as he held the silver whistle in hand. He took hold of the megaphone that was strung up at the side and directed them at the jumpers. "Guys! Knock it off! Step away from the ropes, now!"

The two stopped dead in their tracks, a bit ashamed at being called out for their behavior. With a sheepish hang of their heads, they went back to their group of friends who were laughing amongst themselves. Marvin sat back down, hanging the megaphone back onto the hook. There were always stupid people who would be fool enough to try and jump over the roped-off portion of the cliff. It annoyed Marvin especially because said people would be the ones who'd end up in an accident.

And right on cue, just as Marvin was about to relax, the predictable happened.

Marvin turned his head just in time to see a person break away from the group of anxious jumpers. He was running fast, and he was headed straight for the higher portion that was clearly off limits. Before long, he made it to the top, and without any hesitation or paying attention whatsoever to Marvin's whistle blasting off, leapt off the side.

"...Damn it!" The Doberman said, turning back to get his goggles and slap them over his eyes. With a tense growl, he watched the dragon drop from the top and into the deep blue water down below. A mental timer started to tick inside Marvin's head as he immediately moved down. The dragon's friends were now shouting joyously, waiting for their companion to surface.

A second ticked by and nothing. The jovial atmosphere of the jumpers was fading quickly. Marvin was already off his perch by the time it had occurred to the tourists that something bad may have just happened. Swiftly the Doberman ran through the beach, adjusting his goggles to keep them secure. He gripped the life preserver closest to him, and in one powerful swing threw it across the air. With amazing accuracy, it landed close to where the dragon made a splash. Without missing a beat, he ran through the shoreline before eventually transitioning to swimming through the deeper water. His training for emergency situations was now kicked in, and he was now locked in the motions of what he was supposed to do.

He looked downwards and was alarmed to see the dragon's unconscious body trapped on the ocean floor. With a deep breath, the canine quickly dove down and dragged him upwards towards the surface. They broke through the water, and the sound of cheering greeted Marvin, but he blocked it out. Fortunately the dragon hadn't hit any of the rocks, but what he just accomplished was the easy part. It took some effort, but eventually he succeeded in taking the unconscious diver to the shore where he could revive him.

A tense atmosphere gripped the beach. Everyone was clearly dreading what they were seeing. Families held their children close. Couples stopped, anxiety etched on their faces. The dragon was not breathing, and for all they knew, they may very well be seeing a dead body right before their very eyes, but Marvin wasn't going to let that happen. Swiftly the doberman pressed his hands against the dragon's chest to begin rhythmic compressions after turning his head, plugging the dragon's nostrils and pressing his lips against the dragon's to breathe into his airways, repeating this motion just as trained.

A few other lifeguards made their way over to him, a stretcher held on their hands. "How's he doing?!"

Before the doberman could answer, the blue dragon's white chest suddenly convulsed and sent water out of the lungs, followed by a loud ragged spluttering gasp. Signs of life violently racked through the drowning victim's twitching muscles, and as the doberman backed away, the dragon tossed his body to the side, hacking and coughing out as much of the water that had flooded his passages as he could. This seemingly relieved the tension everyone had on the beach, and the tourists near the area began to cheer, applauding Marvin for his heroic efforts.

"He's all right, he'll live," Marvin answered his otter coworker while standing up, "Him and his stupidity."

The otter snorted. "Did he jump off the restricted area?"

"Pretty much," Marvin answered, looking in disdain at the dragon that was being lifted onto the stretcher.

"We'll get him standing back up in no time," the otter replied.

Marvin nodded, then addressed the crowd that was still morbidly ogling the scene. "Show's over, folks. You can go back to enjoying the beach," he said, waving them off.

A few of them had had their phones out to record the daring rescue he just pulled off. One of them spoke up, pointing his phone at Marvin. "That was amazing, mister!"

The Doberman noticed the phone and smiled. He offered a thumbs up. "Just doing my job. Always follow the rules on the beach, got that boys and girls?"

0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0

The rest of the afternoon was thankfully uneventful. It seemed the near-tragedy served as a good reminder to the beachgoers that there was a reason for rules--that and rock diving was now prohibited completely for the day--and Marvin was pleased to see that they followed them accordingly. Soon enough he was sitting peacefully at his post, enjoying the warm breeze. There was an occasional tourist that would ask for directions, but other then that, the Doberman was free to do whatever he wanted without reason.

The hours soon ticked by, and before long, the sun had began to set on the horizon.The orange streaks painting the dimming sky were enough to keep various beachgoers at the beachside so they could enjoy watching the picturesque sunset. Used to this view, Marvin took his phone and checked the time. The screen lit up and told him it was well into the evening now, and his shift was reaching its end.

Letting out a pleased sigh, the Doberman gathered his things and went down to the base of operations. While that was the official name, it was just a small shack that served as a small office as well as a storage space for their equipment. Adjacent to it was a clinic that was now closed for the evening. Entering through the back door, Marvin made a beeline to his locker.

The canine was in the middle of putting his equipment away when there was a knock on the door. Marvin stopped what he was doing and looked back with a puzzled expression and rise of his brow. His coworkers wouldn't knock; they'd just let themselves in. Sighing, he made his way towards the door and opened it to find a particular dragon standing at the opposite side.

"Uh, hello, I was looking for..." He stopped mid-sentence as he realized who he was looking at. "Oh! It's you!"

Marvin simply put on a professional smile, inwardly confused. "Yes, it's me," he answered. "Who are you? Can I help you with something?"

"O-oh," the blue dragon stammered, looking utterly abashed and like he could run away any second, "I'm terribly sorry. I wanted to personally thank you."

"For what?"

"For earlier! For saving my life," the dragon answered, smiling sincerely at him.

It was then that it clicked for Marvin. "Oh! I recognize you now! You're that dragon that nearly drowned!" The dragon nodded in response, smiling more awkwardly at him. Marvin then continued after a beat, "I'm glad at least you're up on your feet then."

"Yeah," he responded. "I wanted to thank you..."

"Marvin. You can call me Marvin."

"Percy," the dragon responded back. "I wanted to thank you, Marvin. I know what I did was stupid, and... I shouldn't have done it, so..."

Marvin waved a hand at him dismissively. "There's no need to thank me. It's my job." His face then turned serious for a brief moment. "Though I am glad that you're at least aware of how dangerous what you did was."

"Yeah, it was...really dumb of me to do that..." Percy answered, turning away as he found himself unable to face Marvin's stern expression.

"Right. Anyways," Marvin's expression softened. "Was there anything else?"

"Oh! Uh," The dragon was now rummaging through his pockets looking for something. "I had it here somewhere...here it is," he said, taking out a laminated card. He handed it over to Marvin. "It's the least I could do."

"What's this?" Marvin answered, curiously taking the card.

"Consider this a thank you gift for saving my life. It's an invite to the party at our hotel. I was given an extra when I checked in," his voice trailed slightly near the end. Marvin noted that these invites were normally given in pairs but disregarded it. He instead focused on the card in his hands. The canine flipped the laminated card around and saw the logo of the hotel greeting him. Crystals Sands was its name, and the calligraphy used for it jumped out at the shocked canine. It looked as expensive as the hotel itself.

"Oh uh, thank you!" Marvin cried out, realizing that he now miraculously obtained an invite to the luau party his friend Ken had been gushing on about so much. What was more, this invite card looked even better than whatever his friend got. "Thank you so much!"

Percy appeared taken aback at the reaction but was glad to see it all the same. "It's an all expense pass, so you can take all the food and drinks free of charge."

Marvin could barely contain the grin on his face. "Thank you so much, Percy! I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome, Marvin," the dragon smiled. "I guess I'll see you there then."

"You'll definitely will."

0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0

Crystal Sands was one of the premier hotels in the area. The building structure was massive compared to the other hotels at the area, and the rooms it offered to the guests varied from simple but lavish looking bedrooms all the way to expensive and exquisite suites that offered a pristine view of the beach and the blue water from the balcony. Marvin took a deep breath as he made his way past the crowded streets and walked towards the golden doors that marked the entrance to the hotel.

The doorman was happy enough to point him to the direction of the luau party, and before long, the Doberman found himself standing outside once more. Crystal Sands owned its own portion of the beach and actually had a bar installed right then and there. Various partygoers were walking around, some even in their swimsuits. Even in his cargo shorts and simple tank top, Marvin was beginning to think that he was overdressed.

"Here for the luau?"

Marvin turned around to find a polite staff member looking at him. "Uh, yes, I am," he answered.

"May I see your invitation?"

Marvin fished out the card given to him earlier and handed it to the staff member, who examined it in his hands before pocketing it. In return, the member of personnel attached a wristband to the doberman. "Here you go, sir. Please show this to the staff when you order any food or drink. No charge."

"Happy to hear that," Marvin smiled.

Now that he was actually here, Marvin wanted to capitalize on this opportunity and sample the food and drinks Crystal Sands had to offer. It wasn't often that he would get to do something like this, after all. Intently the canine made a beeline towards the bar, and there he saw the dragon who made all of this possible seated by himself, slumped over and staring with unfocused eyes into the drink he had in his hand. It looked like he was deep in thought.

Marvin seated himself next to Percy who didn't bother to look up at all.

"Good evening, sir," greeted the bartender, an older looking puma. "What would you like to have?"

"I'll have the house special, please."

The bartender nodded. "I understand. I'll have it ready for you shortly."

The man took off, and Marvin took this chance to spark up the conversation. "For someone at a luau, you're not exactly in a festive mood. Can I ask what's wrong?"

The dragon's ears flicked towards his direction. "If you don't mind I'd prefer to be..." Whatever he was about to say was cut off when he realized who he was looking at. "Oh! Marvin!" Percy exclaimed, tucking away whatever it was that was bothering him. "You made it! I'm glad you could come."

"Well you did give me the invitation," Marvin answered, "it would have been rude of me not to show up."

"It's the least I can do," Percy replied back, taking a sip from his drink.

"Your drink, sir." chimed in the bartender, handing to Marvin a fruity looking drink complete with a small umbrella nestled on the side of the glass rim.

"Thank you," the canine responded before taking a sip. It tasted just as trippy as it was colorful, with only a tinge of alcohol noticeable amidst the other ingredients used to mix the concoction. "Wow, this stuff is good."

"I know, right?" Percy added. "The quality they put in all their services really makes the expense all the more worth it."

"Speaking of which," Marvin began, "are you here for the same reason as everyone else, Percy?"

The dragon placed his hands on the table, still smiling. "Yeah, I am. It's a vacation to get away from it all."

"You're from the main city then? What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a number whisperer. I talk to them and they tell me their secrets," he answered with a straight face. Noticing the bemused smirk Marvin was giving him, he let out a light laugh. "I'm an accountant."

"You are a number whisperer then!" Marvin responded. "I was never one for maths. I was more of the lazy, laidback kind of guy who'd rather just sit all day and look at the beach."

"Lazy?" Percy shook his head. "I'd label you anything but lazy. For a lazy person, you look absolutely perfect!" He then blinked, then added, "I mean, that must be a side effect of your job, right?"

Marvin raised a brow but decided to let the compliment otherwise slide. "Being a lifeguard? Yeah, I suppose you can say that."

"Do you like being a lifeguard?" Percy asked.

"It's just a thing I do to help get food on the table and pay the rent. It's not glamorous, but that's islander life for you."

"You make it sound like you hate it."

The Doberman shook his head. "Well no..." Marvin took the small umbrella from his drink and toyed with it in his hands. "I'm happy with my job, for the record. I love my job. The sea is fun, and swimming is fun. The tourists can be a bit of a pain at times," he then glanced at Percy, "but in other ways they can be a pleasure. The pay is decent, and I get to enjoy the sunset every evening. What's not to love?" he asked rhetorically. "But with all jobs, it has its ups and downs."

Percy nodded. "Well, it sure beats sitting in an office all day."

"Is that why you decided it was a good idea to jump off a cliff?" Marvin asked pointedly.

The dragon blinked in surprise. A flash of concealed emotion appeared on his face. "Uh, I guess? You only live once, right?"

"Uh huh, you're welcome," Marvin answered, not looking remotely amused. He then gently tapped Percy on the shoulder before downing his drink. "But I'm not here to scold you on your life choices. You have your friends for that." The Doberman looked around for a brief moment. "It looked like you were in a group earlier at the cliff edge. Are they here with you?"

"They're here," Percy flailed and gestured his hand to nothing in particular, "somewhere...?" At the same time, the dragon motioned for the bartender to come, and the man did so to refill his glass.

"And you, sir?" the bartender asked Marvin.

"Sure."

"So, Marvin, you're a local then?" Percy asked, resting his hand on the counter. Marvin took note of the clink of a silver ring on the man's ring finger.

"I am," he answered. "Born and raised here in the tropics. I've been with the sea for almost all of my life. It's probably what led to me taking on a job as a lifeguard. I originally planned it as just a thing I would do on the way towards a better job, but it just stuck, you know? Funny how that works." He then shifted in his seat, taking another sip of his drink. "My parents probably wanted me to do something better, like what my older brother does."

"What does he do?"

"He works as a team leader and manager of outsourcing for P&H," Marvin answered, the dullness in his voice evident. He shrugged. "I was never one for office work. It bores me." He then glanced at Percy after realizing his mistake. "I mean, I'm sure it's fun for you."

"No, no, you don't have to apologize," Percy responded. "I can understand where you're coming from, and yes, it's fun. But there are times when it isn't." He then glanced down at his drink, and looked like he was momentarily lost in thought. "We all could use a change of scenery once in a while."

Marvin noted the dragon's solemn tone. "That is very true. Is that why you took this vacation?"

Percy didn't look up this time, his slumped form now more stark. "In some ways, yes."

By now, the festivities of the luau were slowing down. The group of people behind them that were dancing the night away had begun to partner up. The music shifted from a roof raising party pop hit to that of a gentle, rhythmic love song suitable for a slow dance. The dragon next to Marvin shifted, sitting upright.

"Listen, it's been fun chatting, Marvin," he said perfunctorily. He then proceeded to chug the tall drink he had in front of him, gulping it down in one go before lowering the glass gently and wiping the remains from his mouth. "But I think...yeah, I'm going to go for a walk."

The Doberman quietly thought to himself before ultimately deciding. "Do you mind if I join you?" he asked. "The atmosphere is too sappy for me."

Percy could only look at the doberman as if thinking for a moment...before smiling and nodding. "Sure...I guess."

"Enjoy the evening, sirs," the feline bartender said as he took both of their glasses with a hidden knowing smile and went back to his duties while the two walked off.

0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0

The music faded to a dull throb in the distance as the two made their way to the beach once again. Their path remained illuminated by lit torches giving off a warm glow that accompanied the moonlight. It was quiet, serene, and relaxing. There were a few couples here and there that they passed, most sitting by themselves at the benches minding their own business and enjoying each others' company. The ocean itself was gentle and calm, the waves crashing onto the beach like a gentle caress of nature.

Eventually, Percy found an empty bench underneath a palm tree. He walked over and then proceeded to sit on it as Marvin seated himself next to him, leaning back slightly. The dragon was now looking out onto the ocean, seemingly lost in deep thought. There was something on his mind, and Marvin figured that now would be a good time as any to ask.

"You know..." he began, breaking the silence between them. "This invitation you gave me," he raised his hand up to show the band given to him earlier by the staff, "They're normally given in pairs, right?"

Percy remained quiet. He had obviously heard the question, but it didn't seem as if he was ready to acknowledge it.

Pressing his luck, Marvin decided to continue thinking out loud. "You've been alone this entire time, and yet you're wearing an engagement ring. I don't think it's reaching to assume the card you gave me was meant for your fianceé, is it?"

The dragon blinked and then proceeded to look at his left hand in response. Sure enough, the ring Marvin pointed out was there on his ring finger, shining in the moonlight.

The Doberman shrugged. "So I know it's none of my business, but I'm going to ask anyway: did something happen?"

Marvin was met with silence for a few moments. He watched Percy's expression for any sign of response. The calm, collected, and emotionless mask the dragon kept on eventually cracked, and Percy sighed, looking to the ground at nothing in particular. Marvin was about to suggest they drop the subject when Percy responded.

"...Yes."

The crash of the waves had threatened to drown out Percy's answer. It was so low that it was barely audible than a whisper. Marvin saw Percy looking towards the shore, his eyes seemingly watching a distant memory from afar. "Yes," he repeated again, more clearly this time. "It was from my fiancee's."

Marvin's brow furrowed, noting something in particular and with one pronoun testing his guess. "He's not here, is he?"

Percy turned his head, looking at Marvin for the first time ever since they left the club. A half hearted smile was on his face. "Is it that obvious?"

The Doberman was at least glad that the dragon was still positive in regards to this seemingly heavy subject. "No," he answered, "I'm just observant."

"That you are," Percy responded, looking back towards the ocean. It looked like the canine was wrestling with the fact of whether to continue the conversation with Marvin. Whether it was the intoxication making him loosen his tongue or something else, he decided to take a deep breath and just let it out. "Yes," he answered. "He's not here." He leaned back on the bench, and closed his eyes. Marvin allowed the dragon some silence, sensing the burden that was on his chest. "This vacation was planned for the both of us. I was planning on proposing to him on this trip."

The gravitas was not lost on Marvin. He had dealt with life threatening situations before, saved people from drowning to their deaths, and saved himself from nearly drowning a couple of times. He'd even brought the dragon himself from being lost to the locker of Davy Jones. He was not a stranger to stressful situations. But this? This anguish that was coming from the dragon next to him. His sympathy was only natural. "I...see..." he responded, doing his best to choose his words carefully. With the way Percy answered, he could see the "but" coming a mile away.

"But...I find out that he was cheating on me, just a few days earlier. Worse was that...he chose the other man instead of me. Life just happened..." Percy looked down at his hands and, with some hesitation and difficulty, removed his engagement ring. The dragon then eyed the jewelry in his palm, his expression becoming distant for a brief moment.

Marvin shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He wasn't expecting the tone of their conversation to get this dramatic. But hearing the reason now, it seemed to the lifeguard that Percy's actions and demeanor throughout the entire time Marvin had interacted with him began to make sense. "Well... Could you not have cancelled?"

Percy let out a light laugh. "I tried to," he answered. "I told my friends about it."

"What did they say?"

"They convinced me to use this trip to find myself instead," Percy answered flatly.

The Doberman's brow rose. "Find yourself?" he asked, thinking about the advice and letting his filter slip for a moment. "Did you think you'll find yourself at the bottom of the ocean?"

Percy laughed softly again, but without any humor this time. "Look... I'm not normally a thrill seeker or anything. Hell, I would have never jumped off that damn cliff earlier if it was my choice. I can't even swim...I just wanted a distraction."

"And yet you did. That was the choice you made, right?"

Percy looked upset at this, going silent for a few beats before realizing that Marvin had made a solid point. "I...yeah, I did. I just figured that it would help me forget about him."

Marvin nodded more sympathetically now. While he didn't agree with Percy's methods, he could understand at least why Percy had done such a foolhardy thing. Love makes you do crazy things was the phrase that would have described the dragon down to the bone, except that in this case, it was the heartache of love torn asunder.

"On the bright side..." Percy began, a smile creeping up on his face. He then turned his head to look at Marvin. "I got to meet someone handsome like you."

Marvin's brow rose, and he looked at Percy knowingly. He then leaned in as the dragon blinked, realizing what he had just said. It was all the doberman could do to keep himself from laughing when Percy's expression read like he had just committed a cardinal sin. "I-I-uh, I mean, I-I'm sorry, that was, the..." The dragon looked flustered. "I'm sorry, I don't even know if you--"

Marvin chuckled and shook his head. "Shhh. It's okay, you're on vacation. It's just you and me here. You've been great company, Percy." He then smiled at the dragon with an amused glint in his eye. "Tell me, am I a good distraction for you? Is that why you gave me the invite?"

For a brief moment, Marvin could detect in Percy's eyes a glint of his own, but of hesitation. It was as if the dragon was...debating about something. Out of the corner of his eyes, Marvin could tell Percy's right hand was slightly shaking, closed tightly on the ring in its palm. But the flash of emotion soon passed, and to the doberman's surprise, Percy pocketed the ring into his shorts. Marvin had half expected the dragon to throw it as far as he could out to shore, but no.

"Yes," he answered, sounding like he had made another impetuous choice for himself. The dragon raised his hands and hesitated for a brief moment, before slowly placing it on Marvin's lap. "Yes, you are."

"I just hope I don't disappoint," Marvin responded a bit more huskily now as he looked into the dragon's eyes more meaningfully.

"Don't worry..." After a beat to let the moment settle in, Percy closed the gap between them. He then proceeded to tenderly kiss Marvin on the lips. It was short, sweet, and cute, and Marvin couldn't help but kiss Percy back and hold it for a bit longer. There was no need for a full on makeout session; after all, the doberman didn't want to overwhelm the dragon. It was important to him that Percy was leading the way, and he could tell that the dragon needed this more than he did.

The two broke off a few moments later, cheeks flushed slightly at the affectionate kiss. After a moment in which they locked eyes, Percy went back in to kiss Marvin, but this time with more repeated vigor and energy. Whatever hesitation and baggage that was holding him back had escaped his mind. What mattered to Percy now was 'the now', and he was all for it. Marvin for his part was more than happy to reciprocate the dragon's forward, if not eager, advances with muzzles locking more solidly and hands now roaming more freely. This wasn't simply an act of lust. This was pure desire.

Inhibitions lowered, Percy's free hand now snaked its way down Marvin's chest, causing the canine to shiver as it brushed past his solid abs and then break through his waistband on a determined route further towards his crotch. This was getting hot and heavy quite fast, and already the Doberman could feel his cock hardening in response, especially when Marvin felt Percy cup his heavy balls through his underwear. This act got the dragon to break the kiss with a clear expression of surprise at the unreal size of what he was feeling in the canine's shorts.

"Good Lord...are you smuggling a coconut tree in there?"

"Not so fast now," Marvin cooed as he kissed the dragon's cheek with a broad smile. "We can take it easy. We've got all night."

Percy chuckled in response then whispered in the big dog's ear, "Yeah... But someone might come before you do, and I just gotta get a taste."

Beaming at that forwardness and nodding rapidly, Marvin took that as his cue to stand up in front of Percy, his member straining heavily against his shorts. Not wanting to waste any time while they were still alone and out in the open, Percy reached out with both of his thumbs sliding along the sides of Marvin's shorts. Carefully he began to pull down, taking the canine's underwear along with it. The shorts fell to the ground unceremoniously, and Percy found himself staring at the canine's impressive package. The reveal was so tantalizing. That cudgel of a shaft bobbing freely in front of him seemed to be at least as thick as four of his fingers, and below that was a very prominent knot forming at the base almost as big as the doberman's fist, happy to be free from its confinement. A bead of pre dripped at the tip, which the dragon happily licked off with a merry note escaping his lips at the flavor.

Marvin did his best to keep watch despite that he was struggling to stand as the dragon's tongue slowly caressed his cock in reverence. They were in a secluded, somewhat hidden part of the beach, far from the couples who were enjoying the evening with their partners. The chance of someone dropping in on them wasn't very high, but there was always the possibility, and Marvin had no interest in explaining what would be an awkward situation. But damn did Percy make it hard for him to play the scout role.

As the minutes ticked on, it felt as if Percy was now trying to suck the cum out of him like his life depended on it. Marvin was certainly of generous length, a fact that numerous sexual partners over the years had pointed out. Still, that coupled with his intimidating thickness made it quite difficult for his sexual partners to take him at any level, let alone all the way. It was rather beyond his experience to feel someone like Percy shoving down half of his cock down his gullet like it was nothing. Did this dragon even have a gag reflex?

While swallowing that sword like a pro, the dragon's free hand was busy fondling Marvin's sizable sack, pulling and squeezing the orbs within gently in his hands. This close up to him, they seemed large as tennis balls with the weight and heft to go along. He loved hearing the canine groan, looking up to admire the sight of him shivering and squirm whenever he tugged at them. The fact that Marvin's cock constantly throbbed and spurted out that tangy sweet pre down his hungry skillful throat made it all the better.

Forgetting their danger, Marvin was now focusing the vast majority of his attention on Percy taking more of his cock, easily going past the halfway mark and daring to go so far to the base of the knot. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and feeling! At the rate Percy was going, he'd be deep throating that cock from tip to base every second by his estimate. All the louder did those slurps and lewd lip smacks permeate the beach, drowning out in their ears the gentle crash of the waves a few feet from them.

"Christ..." he cursed, his eyes threatening to roll to the back of his head. "That fucking mouth...!"

As much as Marvin did his best to remain quiet, he couldn't quell the moans of pleasure escaping his lips in only a few minutes time, proving powerless against the dragon's expert blowjob skills. Though he wisely refrained from saying so, the doberman had to wonder how on earth Percy's fianceé could leave somebody THIS good. A mouth like this was enough to satisfy even the straightest man as far as he was concerned, and he didn't even think twice about placing his hands on Percy's head so not to keel over from how hard his legs were shaking now.

Sensing that the doberman was getting close, the blue dragon increased his efforts, getting all the hungrier for making that delicious dick pop. The taste of the canine's pre was tasting sweeter by the moment, and he just HAD to know what the cream was like. It was getting almost unbearable for Marvin, who felt like he was about to pass out. He did his best to hold off, but Percy was unrelenting, and the big dog was nearly at his wits end! His breathing was becoming ragged, picking up with every new suck. That fat knot was flared out... His fuse was running out... The point of no return was approaching...!

"Percy?"

Suddenly and abruptly that voice broke through the sexual haze he was caught in, Marvin's head snapped with an alarmed jolt towards the direction of the beach. All too clearly now he could see the shadows slowly approaching them.

Fffffuck! He swiftly glanced down at Percy, the dragon's eyes closed and clearly savoring Marvin's cock so deep in his throat as his lips were already starting to enclose up around that swollen knot. It was all he could do to gently slap the dragon's cheeks and growl a shaky whisper in his ear. "Percy! I need you to stop!"

The dragon's eyes blinked open, puzzled and confused. With a loud schlorp he very reluctantly released his mouth's hold on Marvin's cock and look at the canine inquisitively, Marvin reeling with panic along with shock at the feel of the cool air around his exposed length. "W-what's wrong?"

"Someone's coming! We need to stop!"

"Oh?" It took a moment for Percy to realize what Marvin was talking about as he swiveled his head in the direction of the approaching figures. "OH SHIT!"

Quickly Marvin tugged up his shorts up to his waist. There was no taming his angry cock, however, and it would only tent its shorts with a needy throb in its current state. Without any other option, he ended up doing his best to tuck his huge cock down and between his meaty thighs, tightly squeezing them together and facing the bulge on the back of his pants away from the oncoming group. Percy on the other hand desperately wiped the mixture of saliva and preseed from his lips, thankful that he didn't feel any drippage onto his shirt.

Gradually the voices would grow louder before coming into view. "Percy, where are--oh Percy!"

Even in the wan light, Marvin could see the woman, a thickly-built young black cow, looking relieved when her eyes landed on the all-too-guilty dragon smiling meekly at her.

"Hey, Danna," Percy answered, waving at her.

"There you are!" Danna replied in a worried voice. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" Her eyes then glanced to Marvin who was doing his best to look inconspicuous. "Oh, I...who do we have here?" A flash of recognition leapt up in her bovine features, leaning in close to whisper none too quietly to Percy, "Is that the lifeguard?!"

Marvin just gave the unfamiliar cow an unsteady smile, crossing his legs more tightly around his still-hard boner as he leaned against the bench as casually as possible. Not only was he wholly unsure how to proceed with the conversation, but his heart was still racing in his chest, both from nearly being caught and from being on the verge of release.

"Yeah...yeah, that's him," Percy answered, speaking for Marvin. "I ran into him while taking a walk in the beach! What a coincidence, huh?"

Marvin would have rolled his eyes and face palmed at that point if he were less disposed to keep a straight face. Percy obviously wasn't capable of telling a lie to save his life, and it was with a much more nervous smile that the canine's eyes fell back upon Danna. Any chance that she was going to buy that story seemed to fade to dust as her eyes narrowed and darted from Marvin, to Percy, and then back to Marvin again. The two looked at each other for a brief moment, and the doberman realized with a sinking feeling in his stomach that she had a very good guess in regard to what they'd been doing.

"I see," she responded after a while, the corner of her mouth twitching. "Well, thank you Mr. Lifeguard, for saving dragon boy over here earlier today."

"It's Marvin, and it's fine. I was just doing my civic duty."

She nodded curtly then turned to Percy with a sudden annoyed but light smack to the back of his head, causing the dragon to wince. "Answer your phone next time, you jerk!" she snapped. "I've been trying to reach you for hours! We've been looking all over for you. You have no idea how worried we got when you disappeared from the bar without a single word. You know better than that!"

"S-sorry! I didn't mean anything bad by it! I'll be sure to leave a message next time, okay?" Percy answered, embarrassed.

"Uh huh," Danna replied, turning back to the stunned looking doberman. "Make sure he gets back with our group when you two are finished. Talking, I mean. Nice meeting you, Marvin."

"Same. Likewise."

The corner of her mouth twitching again, Danna then excused herself hastily, shaking uncontrollably in the distance as she left the two alone once more. It took a solid minute of incredibly awkward silence between the two before Percy could allow himself to let out one big sigh. "That was too close..." he said, a smile creeping up on his lips as he gave Marvin an abashed side glance.

The Doberman could only breathe deeply and clutch his chest, gripping the bench unsteadily and snapping his legs back to a more relaxed stance now that his shorts finally stopped feeling like they were going to burst off at any moment.

"Okay...so we've learned something here. Sex at the beach...not my brightest move to let it happen, was it?"

Percy chuckled wryly in response, looking back over in the direction of the group lodge far away and rubbing his raw throat to ease the soreness and lament his unquenched thirst. "Yeah..."

"So uh..." Marvin said after a few beats, scratching the back of his head. He had to admit, while he had his fair share of experiences being cock blocked, this was definitely right up there at the top. "Maybe...I should wait for this to go down and..." He stood up, fixing his shorts unabashedly in front of Percy. His boner was at half mast now, but even then it was still a pain to stow it in. "You go ahead? You wouldn't want to keep your friends waiting."

Percy sighed with a nod and stood up. "Yeah, you have a point." The dragon sounded more disappointed and annoyed than actually upset, though he was resolved in that the mood wasn't totally lost. It just needed a better time and place. "But before that..." Percy fished out his wallet from his pocket.

Marvin's brow rose. "Um...I'm not a rent boy, Percy."

The dragon looked offended for a moment, but nevertheless took out a gold colored card. "I'm not paying you, silly. It's a key to my room."

Bemused, Marvin took the card. Much like the hotel, it looked rather expensive. The Crystal Sands logo stood out on it, overwhelming the otherwise serene beach background.

"Room 1170," Percy continued with a coy grin, "I'd like to finish what we started."

The Doberman thought for a moment...and then grinned himself from ear to ear!

"I'll see you there!"

0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0 = 0

Vacations were fun. They were the type of activity that people could take with their friends, family, or loved ones to get away from it all and take a chance to reconnect, find themselves, and just enjoy what life offered. Some would travel to distant places, see far away lands, and experience the foreign culture first hand. Others would go even farther and partake in whatever rituals necessary to keep them from being a stranger in a strange land.

Above all though, Percy was in it for the pleasure! Or rather...

"Fuck, Marvin..."

Already his legs shivered, thighs quaking and back arched. Those claws of his clung now tightly onto the bed sheets like he was hanging off the edge of a cliff. Clothes were strewn hastily across the floor, and the king-size bed rocked under the weight of the two people huddled up on it. Involuntary Percy closed his eyes, biting down on his lower lip to try and stop himself from letting out an even louder cry.

Now in the privacy of the hotel suite, the two were now fully allowed to lose themselves and give in to their lusts, enjoying each others' bodies and more fully satiating their desires. The dragon was on his back, his legs pointing back in the direction of his head. Marvin's hands were pressed up against the backs of Percy's upper thighs, steadying the dragon and keeping that ass spread and raised high up. Schlucking sounds constantly echoed in the room as the large canine's face hidden behind that full round scaly backside was currently in utter bliss, lapping even harder now at the donut-shaped dragonport already dripping with copious amounts of saliva down the tailbase. Hearing his name had brought extra fuel to the fire of his ministrations, finding it encouraging to hear the dragon moan out his name helplessly. From this position, Marvin's erection was left to grind up against the edge of the bed, leaking copious amounts of pre onto the bed sheet. His balls ached from being unable to cum earlier, and the canine swore he was going to take care of it now.

The dragon for his part was in a state of shock, unable to believe how amazing an ass-ault Marvin could deliver with that tongue lapping all over his pucker, even travelling inside those silky tight confines to slurp away inside and suckle it hard all the while. Every inch of his hot scaly body was feeling that tingle travel across from like electricity from ass to mouth, grip intensifying and chest convulsing with his own draconic cock throbbing and spurting a healthy dose of pre onto his chest. Steadily, it trickled down to the side towards the bedsheet to leave a sticky sheen on the dragon's scales, making it slick to the touch and mixing perfectly with the glistening sweat on the dragon's body.

"M-Marvin, I...I can't take it anymore! Please..." Percy whined. His tone was of a begging man, absolutely desperate for what Marvin had to offer. Reluctantly the canine let up, looking up to see the dragon's entire face flushed. He look pleased to see Percy breathing heavily from how skillfully that tongue and those lips had worked on him, looking into bright eyes dazed yet still clearly focused on him. That sheer look of "Fuck me!" brought on a lusty lick of his lips from Marvin, admiring how well it complemented the otherwise dragon's soft features.

In hindsight, it made sense. With the way Percy nearly tore off Marvin's shirt earlier, Percy was very much behaving like a dragoness in heat, ACHING to be bred. Far be it from the canine to disappoint! With a sudden spring, Marvin leapt upon the bed with a loud creak and climbed atop his lover for the night as Percy wrapped his legs loosely around his torso with an eager wanting growl. Marvin then proceeded to bestow upon Percy a trail of kisses all across the dragon's chest, stopping only to twirl his tongue around the dragon's now sensitive and perky nipples. To his delight, this earned Marvin another restrained moan and heavy throb of the dragon's cock against his own sculpted torso, painting his fur with a healthy stripe of preseed.

He eventually reached Percy's face and renewed his grip while he sucked on it viciously with jaws enclosed, teeth locked, and moans swallowed up in each other's hard-breathing throats. Tongues entwined and cocks soon fenced together in a long minute of heavy petting and intense making out that ended all too soon when Marvin broke off and grinned mischievously at the dragon. "Did you say something?"

"Stop teasing...and just do it already," Percy said in between hard pants, his tongue lolled out and legs bending and spreading farther around the doberman's broad waist while trying to move his long tail as far out of the way as possible.

"But it's so fun..." Marvin began, opting for a callously teasing tone, "to see you squirm like this."

Percy whimpered at this, knowing quite well just what that dirty dog was doing to him. "Please, Marvin, I want this so badly." He looked him directly in the eyes and pouted, "Fuck me like a beast, Marvin."

Hearing the dragon just beg like a bitch for it made the needy canine feel like his cock had swelled out yet another inch or so. Eagerly the big canine planted a kiss on the dragon's lips before wordlessly moving himself upright. He grabbed one of the spare pillows on the bed, and placed it beneath Percy's lower back to align the dragon's ample rear end perfectly with Marvin's crotch. Hotdogging that wonderful ass with that drippy vast bone, Marvin held Percy's legs for support, and with a deep breath began to ease himself in. Thankfully, the tight entrance yielded without too much trouble as the copious amounts of pre that leaked from his cock coupled with the more-than-plentiful saliva from the rimming earlier proved to be sufficient lubrication for them both.

Whether it was because he was just super horny and incredibly sensitive at the moment--or maybe Marvin was secretly a sex god!--Percy could feel all of it. The ridges, the veins, even the little bumps the canine had on his huge dick with every new inch of that thickness pressing inside--all the sensations were there. The wonderful filling sensation electrified his body as it pushed itself further past, and for a split second, Percy wondered if he could even take all of it. But whatever doubt tried to sprout from his mind was quickly squashed by the undebatable fullness that consumed with burning desire all else, and Percy wanted more of it so not to let those flames be extinguished.

Marvin soon would let out a strong groan from above as those velvet walls enveloped inch after inch of his huge shaft. "It's like a vice..." he said through gritted teeth, taking deep breaths in between movements and pacing himself to not be too forceful. It was definitely a tight fit, but for the first time in what seemed like ages, he felt as if he might actually be able to go balls deep for once. Looking down and seeing the look of euphoria on Percy's face encouraged Marvin and only served to redouble his efforts. And indeed, before he knew it, Marvin's cock save the knot had buried itself completely into Percy's ass!

For his part, Percy was just in a cock-thrilled shivering trance, his thighs quaking with every beat of his heart. He was mumbling something incoherent, and Marvin took this as his cue to lower himself onto the dragon and plant a tender kiss on Percy's lips as he began to thrust.

Slow and steady, the rhythmic sound of slaps and schlucks resonated from the pair. The bed frame was now rocking with a gentle rumble, the memory foam just managing to handle it as Marvin's thrusts increased in succession. Their constant moaning stayed swallowed by the deep kiss they shared, breaking only occasionally so they could take a moment to catch their breath but quickly returning back to it like the two lovers hungry for each other's taste that they were in this moment. Before long, Percy's backside was absolutely taking a beating, feeling stretched so much more and more by Marvin's impressive size and length all while the canine's balls slapped more and more fully against the dragon's ass, full of seed in dire need of release.

Over the course of their intense sexual unity, Percy's legs found themselves crossed behind Marvin's back, locking the canine in place. This only served to drive Marvin's need to breed further on, angling his thrusts to aim for a deeper push. By now the canine could feel his knot beginning to inflate, now making itself readily apparent by knocking on Percy's well worn backdoor in strong need of housing.

"W-where...where...where...?" At that moment, Marvin was unable to string his sentences together as if he were trying to surface from the deep once more. Thankfully, Percy understood what he was going for and could only deliver one answer with every ounce of conviction he had.

"Breed me...!" Percy cried out, his voice morphing into a guttural moan as he could hold back no longer!

His body contracted. Percy was cumming. Marvin swore Percy was milking him for all he was worth, but the canine persevered. That knot would go in! Soon he was just pistoning that ass with all his strength, teeth gritted and sweat flying, eyes closed and teeth tightly gritted. With every thrust it came closer. It was about to go in... Just one more... One more!

With a lewd pop, at long last, he knotted.

The pain felt like ecstasy, and Percy screamed out even louder than before, feeling his backside spread further than it had ever been. It was like having an inflated balloon shoved up into his ass with a plug attached. It hurt like hell but pressed so tightly against a certain spot inside that caused his orgasm to feel ten times more intense. It felt so warm, so tightly conformed to the inner anal ring that pulsed powerfully with every new shot of seed and the overstretched walls of his straining rhythmically squeezing rectal chamber.

"Fucking hell...FUCK!!" Marvin growled through gritted teeth, squeezing the dragon extra tightly and springing his hips down with a heavy arch of his back to bury inside as deep as he could go. It was like a valve within him had burst open! Spurt upon spurt of white hot cum jettisoned into Percy's ass, so powerfully pumping through that it would have hit the dragon's face if Marvin had pulled out. The seal of the knot proved effective; no cum leaked at the sides, and every shot swelled farther up into the dragon's depths, increasing the pressure within and filling him to the brim completely as it had nowhere to go but in!

It felt like ages until his orgasm died down completely, and by then, Marvin and the dragon beneath him were utterly spent. Soaked in the dragon's climax dripping down his chest and stomach, he eventually managed to flop down next to Percy, opting to just lightly plant kisses on the dragon's face as the knot kept them both stuck in place just like that. Heavy breathing would eventually returning to a normal state a few minutes after, but for now, Marvin would embrace Percy as he melted into his arm while nestling his head on the canine's chest.

The warmth of that huge cock still stuck in his well-fucked ass and so much hot seed deep inside him felt so unusual...and yet so comforting. It was as if the troubles that Percy had, the nightmares that were plaguing his mind...for the first time, it was like they were nothing more than long distant memories. His friends had told him so many times that he needed to drown them out, and only now did he realize just where and how the drowning needed to occur.

It was Marvin who first broke the silence and interrupted his revelation. "How long do you have anyway for your vacation?" he asked, rubbing the dragon's back lovingly.

"Two weeks," Percy answered plainly, "We're going to be staying for two whole weeks." The dragon smiled at the way he came across just now. For the first time since his vacation had started, he felt as if he were finally at peace with himself. "Funny, there I was, actually wondering how I was going to push through it all."

The canine placed a hand underneath Percy's chin, having the sweet dragon meet his gaze before planting a short but sweet kiss on his lips and returning his curious expression with yet another mischievous smile. "Well I have an idea..."
