The Last Goodbye
By P
Kailee kept her head low to the ground as she trudged through the
soft, November sunshine. She watched her shadow, shortened by the
nearly-noonday sun, bob and dip over the soft reeds and grasses of the
marshland, sometimes rising up almost her knees in the whispering reeds by
the river's edge, other times dipping away to hide beneath her feet on the
sandy stretches of hard-packed earth and saw-grass as she approached the
forest's edge. Her backpack, friend of these many adolescent years, was a
leaden weight on her back, chafing her shoulder blades uncomfortably.
Her feet found the path of their own will, taking up from the lowlands
into the Colorado foothills behind the residential neighborhood in which
she had grown up. Cicadas sang their soft, familiar song in the grass on
either side of the trail, seeming somehow to shepherd her along the steep
trail, hidden as they were in the lush, cool greenness of the surrounding
trees. Here was one turn. There the same fallen log she had lightly
stepped over a hundred, a thousand times in her youth. And now the rock,
the one that she always imagined looked like a turtle, marked the final
turn for her. She pushed through the dense underbrush on the side of the
trail and emerged, blinking, into the sunlight.
It has always been her special place. When she was much younger she
had found this place quite by accident, and had been instantly entranced by
it's quiet beauty. It was her own secret place within the forest.
Completely surrounded by trees, the tiny clearing was as quiet as the soft
sky above, broken only in the center by a smooth, flat rock. She
remembered lying back on that rock though endless summer days, watching the
clouds chase themselves through the little slice of sky that she could see
through the canopy of leaves above, traveling off towards their secret
destinations.
Whenever her big brother had teased her about her new pair of glasses,
she had run here to escape him. When her parent's anger and distrust with
each other had boiled over from the confines of their bedroom to spill over
into the kitchen nook in the first 'public' display of the problems that
would soon end their family and their home, she had run here, escaping.
When a certain boy she had watched with young, budding love in high school
had shown up at the freshman prom with her so-called 'best friend' she had
escaped here. To meet with her only comfort,Rishi.
But that was so long ago.. She was a grown woman now, all of 24 with
one foot firmly planted in the sticky mire of adulthood, the other still
dancing on the dew-wet grass of her youth.. Soon she would be standing
upon the unsafe ground of loyalty, responsibility, and Paying The Bills On
Time. She was already leaning that way. Her career had taken off like a
gunshot from the moment she had left college, and if she played her cards
right she could make junior partner in the law firm in about 7 years....
But maybe one more chance, she thought, I at least owe him a good-bye.
Kailee shrugged out of her backpack...one of the few remnants she had
of her time here in the Rocky Mountains, and sat cross-legged on the flat
rock in the middle of the clearing. She began to unpack the picnic lunch
that she had brought setting the sandwiches and the thermos of tomato soup
out on the flat rock before her. She sat cross-legged on the rock and
ate in silence....waiting...
She was finished now, preparing to go. She gathered up all the trash
and wrappers from her lunch and stood up, stretching. She cleared her
throat softly, the noise too-loud in the hushed forest stillness. "I know
you're there." she said into the forest. "I know that you've been
watching."
The forest swallowed her words whole, giving nothing back in return.
"This is it." she said, doubt beginning to cloud her voice. "I'm
leaving...and I won't be coming back." She sniffed. "Gone. For good. I
thought, maybe...." she trailed off, uncertain...
"...don't....go..." rumbled a voice in the underbrush.
Kailee held perfectly still. "Ransi?" she asked hopefully.
And there he was, creeping out from underneath the dense bushes on all
fours, eyes glimmering. Ransi approached her warily, scaled tail twitching
behind him. He was none other than a red forrest-dragon, his
diamond-shaped scales lying flat along his broad back, dappled with
sunshine. His muscular hind legs bunched as he raised up, towering nearly
ten feet in the air over her. His wings drooped uselessly along his back,
thin and nearly translucent, shot through with sparkles of gold. Just as
she had remembered him. "...you...Kailee?" the dragon growled hopefully,
his amber eyes blinking.
Kailee smiled, slowly standing up on the rock. "I've come back,
Ransi." she near-whispered. "But only for a little while."
Ransi regarded her for a moment with depthless, unblinking eyes.
"Kailee is...bigger...." he growled simply. She had spent endless summers
trying to teach the dragon a good command of the human language, and this
was the closest he had ever come. He was a huge towering dragon with the
vocabulary and speech patterns of a seven-year-old.
"Yes, I have grown up a little, Ransi." She moved to stroke his snout
softly with her hand. "When we first met I was a younger..girl. Now I'm an
adult." With adult problems, she added with an interior sigh.
Ransi bobbed his head, understanding. A sudden gust of wind shook the
leaves in the clearing, and the soft shadows became softer still as the sun
slipped behind a few dark gray clouds in the sky. Kailee looked up, for
the first time noticing that it looked like...
"Rain." Ransi rumbled, wide nostrils flaring as he took in the scents
carried on the sharpening fall breeze. "Rain soon, Kailee."
"Damn." she muttered. She had hoped to at least spend at least one
more golden afternoon with her lifelong friend before she had to go. But
fat, huge drops were already beginning to fall from the sky, leaving
dime-sized dark circles on the ground. "I'm sorry," she said, to herself
and to the dragon. "I never should have come back. I...I can't stay." It
was beginning to rain even harder now, the forest sighing with the patter
of thousands of drops on thousands of leaves.
Ransi snuffed sadly, the closest that he could come to a human sigh.
He slowly lifted his iridescent wings, arching them over her, protecting
her from the mounting torrent of water. "Stay. Kailee stay....please?"
Kailee felt her heart swell with love as she stepped into the shelter
of her friend's huge wings. She hugged him fiercely, the rain streaming
down her cheeks mixing with her hot tears. She couldn't leave Ransi. Not
ever. She'd forgotten as she grew up, but being here with him made her
remember how his just being there had somehow filled her up inside. She
pressed her damp cheek against his scaled one, "I won't go yet. I love
you, Ransi." she murmured.
Ransi pressed himself against her, purring deep in his chest. He
placed his fore claws on her shoulders, pushing her softly backwards to lay
against the rock. She lay back, relaxing, enjoying the little tent that he
had made for the both of them out of his arched wings. He nuzzled her
neck, nostrils flaring as he took in her scent. "Kailee...older?" the
dragon growled softly, snuffing at her hair.
An instant before he did it, Kailee realized what Ransi was going to
do. His long red tongue, almost as wide as her hand, lashed out softly and
licked at her belly, rucking up her tee shirt a bit. He had tried this
once before, a thousand summers ago when she was only 12. She had been a
little confused, thinking that he was just trying to tickle her. It tickled
her now, and she giggled. But there was something else beneath the
giggle. Ransi licked again, his tongue tracing across the bare flesh of
her midriff and she sighed a bit, feeling herself flush. He was trying to
come on to her!
"Ransi...." she whispered, unsure of what to say next. She looked
down herself to see the dragon cocking his head to the side as he rubbed
his cheek along her stomach, his eyes peering questioningly, hopefully into
hers. She knew that he was smart enough to know that she was going for
good. Maybe this was their last chance. A last chance to be together.
When he had done this to her when she was young, he had stopped after
a while, somehow sensing that she was a youngster of her species. But he
wasn't stopping this time...and Kailee didn't think she was going to try
and stop him. She had always known that this was what she wanted...and
what he wanted too. She raised her shirt up a little more, cupping the
underside of his snout and guiding it to her pert, upturned breasts.
Ransi's tongue traced slowly up her belly and slid softly over her
right nipple, completely covering it in his warm, wet saliva. She shivered
a little, moans nearly inaudible over the crashing rain. She ran her hands
lovingly over his snout and ears as he lapped at her exposed breasts,
breath pluming out over her, warming her. "Please....don't stop...." she
mewed softly.
She realized after a while that Ransi's huge, powerful fore-claws were
tugging gently, ineffectually, at her jeans. She leaned forward, pushing
her breasts against his wonderful serpent's tongue, and shooed his clumsy
claws away. She undid her button and zipper and then lay back again,
wrapping her arms around the dragon's snout as he licked at her tightening
nipples. "Okay..." she whispered to him. "I did the hard part, Ransi. Go
ahead...."
"Is...ok, Kailee?" rumbled the dragon, craning his neck to look down
at her. His eyes were soft and full of love. "Ransi not hurt."
"I'ts more than okay," she said slowly. "I love you."
Ransi's claws delicately slipped inside the waistband of her jeans,
hooking them and her panties. He slowly drew them down her thighs,
exposing the soft, furry vee of her pubic hair. He lowered his snout,
snuffing her down there carefully. She felt his hot breath against her
vagina for a moment, and then his tongue as he tasted of her female
sweetness. She shivered a little and cried out as she felt his warm tongue
first moisten her, then penetrate her interior. Ransi looked up at her,
brows furrowed a bit at her cries, and she spoke softly, reassuring him
that nothing was wrong...that he wasn't hurting Kailee. At all.
Ransi's licking became more subtle, his flexible tongue exploring her
fully as she gasped and shuddered beneath him. He began to unconsciously
hunch forward with every lick, his huge, scaled body beginning to become
aroused by her soft, urgent whimpers. She looked up into his huge,
depthless eyes, but they weren't meeting hers. The dragon was beginning to
be consumed by his own mating instincts, ones that had lain dormant for
years. She lay back instead, stroking his ears as he brought her
closer...ever closer to release.
The huge dragon's lapping became more heated, more urgent, his whole
body rocking back and forth now as his hindquarters bunched up and thrust
blindly forward at the air. Finally he could take no more. With something
approaching a roar he reared up, placing his powerful for-claws on either
side of her shoulders, and pushed himself against her clumsily, trying to
mount her as he would a female dragon.. She felt his warm, pulsing organ
first slide up her left thigh, and then across her belly in an aborted
attempt. She reached between them and gently grabbed his maleness, trying
to guide the heated dragon home. Merely holding him in her hand made the
huge dragon begin to buck, his slippery staff pistoning through her fist as
he blindly tried to mate with her hand. "Shhh..." she called softly,
trying to calm him down, "Go easy, Ransi...."
"....can't..." the dragon huffed, his intelligence dissolving before
his animal instincts,"...Ransi want...." the rest was just mewls and
growls, his heated thrusting never slowing against her hand. She did the
best she could to guide him down into her, looking up at him as he towered
over her. He was looking back, eyes half-lidded, tongue hanging limply
from the corner of his snout. One of his thrusts hit her wet and open
vaginal lips, the next one brought him deep inside of her. She felt his
huge staff slide deep into her, plumbing her to the very bottom. There was
a quick, light *slap* against her upturned ass-cheeks as he drove himself
fully home. She cried out at his fullness, twitching a little as she felt
the first waves of an orgasm begin to wash over her.
"MMMmmohhhh...Ransi..." she whimpered, wrapping her hands around the stout,
muscular posts of his forelegs to brace herself against the onslaught.
Ransi mated with her hard and quick; rocking up against her with
incredible force behind each stroke, withdrawing only a few inches or so,
and then rocking forward again. In only a few seconds she knew that she
was sopping wet down there and headed towards another orgasm. The dragon
was panting harshly above her, his thrusts never slowing in tempo, fully
dominating her. She rode him the best she could, trying to hump back at
him to meet his thrusts, but it was no use. She felt another wave of
pleasure building deep within her, and she closed her eyes, moaning softly
up at her lover.
In the end it was very sudden. Ransi's thrusts became uneven,
eventually degenerating into mindless animal bucking...and then he locked
up against her, his every muscle taut with tension for one dizzying moment,
and came deep inside her, his swollen head bumping up against her cervix as
he pulsed his seed deep into her. He roared, and underneath him Kailee did
her best to roar back, moaning gutturally as she wrapped her legs around
his tail, holding him there for one sweet, blissful moment. It had all
been worth it, she thought as a final wave of pleasure swept over her. She
would never say good bye to Ransi.
The End
