#1 of A love-hate relationship maybe?

Well I kinda went slightly nuts with this one. Maybe I might even make a sequel but I'll figure that out in the future. For now simply enjoy this particularly sexy story.

Ray-umim is an average everyday elf in a world of peace. However when he is low on funds he applies for jobs across the city and many floating islands that surround it but only one place accepts him. Four months have gone past since he obtained a job as a caretaker apprentice on the dragon island habitat called Zeverus, a job that he despises simply because he has to deal with dragons day in, day out which he hates most of all. However a particular dragon has a keen eye out for the young elf, and she is dying to get him to know it.


"Gods be damned!" Growled Ray-umim as several black dragons rushed past him, practically pushing him over. If It wasn't for the large shovel in his hands he would've surely fallen over. Glaring at the short snout harerks as a nearby co-worker began to hand out fish to the aquatic dragons, Ray went right back to his work as he muttered curses under his breath as he shovelled load after load of disgusting dragon dung.

*Why here?!* screamed Ray silently in his head before stopping and wiping the sweat from his brow, his pointed ears twitching. The fair elf soon hopped into the hovercraft next to where he stood and zoomed down across the wide fenced area of the sea dragon habitat. This place for dragons was complete with plenty of free space, several small areas filled with trees for lazing about and many more pools of water with rocks to sunbathe on.

Normally most new workers were excited, even over-joyed, to work on the many dragon habitats here on the floating isle of Zeverus. Ray the elf however was something else, highly disappointed that in all the many applications he sent out only THIS place would accept him. He hated dragons and frankly the farther away from them he was the happier of an elf he would be.

But no, the many factories down on the ground far below he had applied for did not accept him, the many office sites didn't want him, and etcetera. If it wasn't for the fact that he was dirt poor and the fact the dragon business made so much money, he wouldn't be here. And with the way dragons are he didn't care if they did make money, literally, on their own.

With the dragons on the floating island, of various species, each are capable of somehow obtaining gold and precious metals from around the area. How and where they obtained such incredible resources are currently unknown to the people in the area. In a way to obtain at least a fraction of the gold and jewels, men and women of all ages agreed to help the dragons to have proper homes. It was also out of kindness as well for without the help of men and elves dragons would have went extinct long ago.

But the way Ray saw it, the people were just being used. It made no sense to him, the idea of men and women taking gold in exchange of their help. It sounded more like some kind of slavery to him. Though slavery doesn't have people getting money in return and slaves didn't do it willing and...

Thunk!

"Son of a-!" Ray cried out as he heard something land hard on the top of the car. His vehicle slid to a stop, the extra weight of pounds of dragon dung adding to the total stopping distance. Swearing rather loudly, the fair young man stood up only to feel something nudge his silver hair softly. Rolling his grey eyes, the elf turned to look up and see a blue sea dragon lounging on top of his car.

"Lords above help me Cheryl." Sighed the Elf as he slumped slightly. "Why now? Look at this mess!" He swung his arm about to show the many piles of crap that had flung out and splattered across the back windshield of the white vehicle as well as across the ground. "Gods this is exactly why I hate dragons."

The blues green eyes drooped as well as the large pointed ears on her slender head, her two silver horns glistening in the sunlight. Slowly the blue silver bellied Genber crawled off his car to stand before him, her Multi-finned head laid low in a submitted way. Even her finned tail was slowly bringing itself around her form to lay near her forelegs. She cringed when Ray spun about to look down at the dragoness, even taking a step back when the elf stepped forward to get the shovel from the back.

"Look just leave me alone you damn dragon." Cheryl gave out a whine, taking a step forward only to jump back when Ray spun about to point the shovel at her. He gave out his own small growl before slowly calming himself. "Three months." He stated slowly and quietly. "Three months you've harassed me. Three months you've tackled me, gave me fish, bugged the hell out of me and pushed me to the corners of my mentality. What in the hell do you want from me?!"

Ray watched for a mere moment before the dragons eyes filled with tears, a choke suddenly erupting from her throat before turning tail and fleeing from the angry worker. Watching her fin-like cyan blue wings open she took off to fly towards where her species went to sleep. Shaking his head, the elf went back to work.

"That was rather rude of you Ray." He didn't even look up at the deeper voice. Shaking his head, Ray merely continued to throw the dragon feces into the truck before shoving the shovel into the ground and leaning on it. He looked up to see a tall man with strong arms staring at him, his blue eyes full of kindness yet a stern hardness to it as well. His head bald, his face spoke of age with a thick grey bread that made him appear like a weird Santa Claus.

"You know they have feelings too boy." The older man scuffed as he came down as well, pulling his own shovel out of the ground next to him to begin helping him. The elf only snorted as he came down before joining the older man in the hard work.

"Well for a creature that has feelings..." Ray grunted as they both shovelled quickly. "..Cheryl does not seem smart." Breathing out he shovelled another load and both continued on until the mess was picked up. Soon the ground was cleaned and the elf was wiping his face once more. "Why does she harass me? I've been here for three fucking months yet still she comes and bugs me as I work everyday! She should've figured it out by now that I don't like her or any other dragon Ian!"

Ian merely shook his shiny head before sighing heavily. "Stupid boy." He murmured before looking at him. "Stupid, stupid boy." Ray stood up straight at those words, his eyes glaring at him. "Honestly, you should be asking if your the idiot here Ray." He pointed towards the large cave shaped building towards the distant side of the field. "Has it not occurred to you that she LIKES you?!"

That caused Ray to take a step back in surprise. "What?!" He held out a hand at Ian, the owner of the habitat, as though to slow the older man down. "Likes me?! please tell that it means she wants to be friends not-"

Ian stopped him. "Enough. I already know what you do and I damn well know you know the right answer to the question." He pointed over towards the cave like building Cheryl had flown away to. "Your in charge of collecting our share of the gold from the dragons. No arguments, you're the last on site." The owner looked down at the mess still on the ground and around the vehicle. "I'll clean this mess up so just go."

Ray clenched his fists and was about to tell the old man off, that he hated dragons and just wanted to leave. He stopped himself though, throwing his head off to the side. "Fine." He spat before turning around and stomping away. Ian watched as the young elf left before breathing heavily.

"The brat need to learn the hard way that we're not the only intelligent beings here..." He muttered as he went back to the back breaking work.

It was some hours later that Ray found himself with a very sore back and several truck loads of gold removed from the massive cave that strangely resembled a human warehouse. Many doors decorated around him numbering in hundreds, the hall he was in a mere fraction of the amount of sea dragons that came here for a home to live in, to raise their young or even to find mates. As said previously, the dragons seemed to allow humans a small share of the gold they often collected for their hoards and it was his job to collect.

Finally he was almost done his work, the final dragon pen he had to take the share of gold from in sight at the end of the hallway. Yet he did not want to bother with this one at all. He knew tension would be high during his time there despite knowing it was just a simple minded animal. Ray never did believe a dragon was as intelligent as say a human and he sure as hell didn't believe a damn person who said otherwise.

Stopping at the door, he paused to place the bucket he had in hand to open the door. Walking in though the young elf failed to notice a small flyer on the front of the door and closed the door behind him. The first thing he saw like in many others of the dragons pens was the massive pool of water that the sea dragon used that took up about one fourth of the ten meters wide room. Nearby sat a smaller pool for the inhabitant to drink from. On the opposite side of the wall sat two raised platforms, one with was covered in soft fabrics and straw for the nest and the other filled to be about three meters tall with gold and jewels.

Ray had to admit, Genbers certainly knew how to find gold when they weren't splashing about in the water. Looking about the elf did not see the dragon in this pen lounging about anywhere meaning that chances are it was outside. Thank goodness they made the doors capable of being opened by a mere dragon. But Ray didn't really care that and instead turned his attention towards the pile of gold. His orders were to take about 35 percent of the gold and leave the rest for the dragon. A high price, but it puts money in his pockets.

Walking next to the hoard, Ray placed the large knee high red bucket down and began to scoop gold and placed it in the bucket. Within moments he had it filled and the elf picked the heavy load up and brought it to what appeared to be a garbage chute. Opening the door, he dumped it down and watched as a quiet conveyer took the gold quickly away. Looking back he sighed the pathetic dent he had made in it. One down, eighty nine loads to go then he had to go to the other end of the conveyer where he would load it all into a truck to be brought to a nearby warehouse for sorting.

It was some time later when he finally placed the bucket down one final time, his bare hand wiping sweat from his brow. Even his black hair was matted against his forehead and a small smile played at his lips. *Good, not a single fucking worry this time.* he thought quietly only to pause when he was about to leave. Turning about he spotted the dragon, her green eyes peering with intrigue above the waters surface.

"Oh uh...hey Cheryl..." Sputtered Ray nervously. How he had never noticed the sea dragon until now he as no idea. All he knew was that he had to get out out now. Yet he did not turn away when the sea blue dragon began to slowly step up submerged steps and towards her hoard. Curious Ray followed her with his eyes only to watch her pause on the platform, her green eyes scanning. Scooping something in her mouth, she spun about and made her way to him.

Upon arriving in front of him, Cheryl extended her long neck towards him to reveal a golden necklace, the pendant on it covered in intricate details and a variety of precious gems, most of which were sapphires and rubies. Ray though did not want it. "I can't accept this Cheryl." He exclaimed slowly, trying to make her understand. The dragon's pointed ears went flat and her eyes filled with sadness. "I'm sorry, I just can't."

What happened next surprised the elf much more then he would've expected even if told before hand. Leaping up, Ray found himself pressed against the wall with the dragons paws on either side of his head with her head coming closer to his. Moving very carefully Cheryl eased the necklace around his head and around his neck before bringing her mouth next to his ear.

"Please." Ray blinked at the beautiful voice, his eyes going wide with utter surprise. "Please Ray, just keep it. I'm sorry."

With wide eyes, Ray watched as the dragoness pushed herself down to look at him with tears eyes. She sniffed once as she looked at his stunned grey eyes before turning away to slump towards her nest. There she laid herself down, her tail going around to hug her form while her wing went up to cover her face. Still watching her still form, Ray had many thoughts going through his head the main being of how it is she just spoke. No dragon he ever heard of ever spoke clear common! How is this possible?!

Rather then getting the answer from Cheryl, Ray slowly brought his hand back to grab the handle. Pulling it down slowly he began to push only to stop when it didn't budge! His eyes wide, the elf spin about to begin wrestling with the door knob, pushing and pulling, shoving and yanking only to give up a few moments later. Taking a step back, he felt his knees grow weak. He was trapped. With a dragon that was infatuated with him. Ray grew suspicious at that moment. There was no way the door was broken, Ian checked and fixed each one every morning unless...

His eyes filled a fiery hatred, he slowly looked over his shoulder at the dragoness. Moving with a dark determination he quietly walked towards the sea dragon only to stop at the platform, his face dark but his eyes filled with anger. Cheryl sensed him next to her and removed her wing to look at him but the the moment her eyes came into view he was on her in an instant.

With a snarl, Ray smashed into her side and Cheryl shrieked out a cry. Trying to flee from the enraged elf, she started to scramble along the nesting to throw various things behind her. Grabbing her tail, Ray forcibly dragged the f small back towards him where he grabbed her and flipped her onto her back. Then he leaped onto her body and wrapped his legs around her to prevent her from fleeing. With madness in his eyes he grabbed her by the base of her head and began to squeeze her neck.

"You did this didn't you?!" He screamed into her face, the dragoness kicking and flailing underneath him. At one point she scratched him, blood slowly dripping from the wound on his arm but Ray ignored the pain. Slowly choking the poor dragon, he continued to yell in anger. "WHY?!" He roared at her as her kicks slowly became weak from lack of oxygen. "WHY DO YOU LOVE ME?! WHY WONT YOU LEAVE ME A-!"

Ray stopped mid scream, his eyes going wide. Cheryl was staring at him, her eyes not filled with anger nor sadness. Only tears...tears of love. Even as she was being choked by the one man she loved, all she could say was that she did not blame him. Nearing unconsciousness, all she could feel was love for him and Ray saw it in her eyes.

Stunned, the elf removed his hands from her throat and stumbled away from her and fell off her nest. Landing hard on his rump on the rocky floor, he scrambled backwards away from her until he was just under the massive light above his head. Coughing, Cheryl flipped back onto her stomach where she coughed viciously, her body trying to get the precious air she needed back into her body.

"Why?" He whispered quietly, his body trembling at what he almost did to her. "Why do you love me?" He slowly raised a hand to stare at his trembling hands, the image of her eyes never leaving his vision. Once she had regained her composure she slowly crawled off the platform and towards him where she stopped, her upper body over his lower form.

"Because I do." She whispered slowly and Ray felt himself sucked into those emerald eyes once more. He anted or cry, laugh, yell, and more yet all he could do at that moment was push her away. Though it was such a simple answer, it was so filled with affection that he almost didn't even need an answer. Deep down she truly did love him.

"I can't..." He whispered hoarsely and finally tears began to fall silently as he stop up and turned away to hide his shame. "I can't love you Cheryl!" A moment after he said this that he felts small nudge on the back of his neck. Warm moist breath breathed across his skin and he shivered slightly, almost getting dirty thoughts into his mind.

"Alright." She whispered slowly and he heard her turn away. Looking back, his eyes grew large when he noticed a slight swaying bumping motion from her shapely feral rump and he swallowed when he spotted a small hint of her sex underneath her thick, powerful tail. So engrossed was he to something he never should have been that he didn't notice Cheryl stop.

"Ray." The elf blinked and shot his eyes up to meet the dragoness's gaze. A look of innocent curiousity was on her face, a small smile playing at her lips. "What were you looking at?"

"I uh um...don't really feel obligated to answer that." He replied shakily as he turned around to hide his very noticeable blush. The last thing Ray wanted to do was say he was having sexual thoughts about her, a dragon! He has been hating them since he was little so if he sat here and gave in to his cravings the elf would never let it go.

"It's okay Ray..." He heard her whisper behind him and he heard a soft coo come from her. But it seemed to be filled with...arousal? He couldn't tell. "..you're just curious about how we hens please our selves. Here...allow me to show you."

Ray, making a huge mistake for himself, was suddenly curious as to what she said, turned to look back at her. His eyes once again bulged out of their sockets when he saw her chest placed against the ground, her rump raised high and her tail even higher. Her paw was between her thighs, slowly rubbing her slit in slow circles. His grey eyes watched as a small droplet of her sweet nectar trailed down from her sex and along the inside of his thigh only for them to shoot back to her v shaped claws which had pulled her lusty lips open to reveal the pink flesh inside.

Cheryl shivered in lust, the cooler air brushing along her insides and causing herself to bite her long yet wide tongue from moaning out loud. Going back to the task at hand, she peered back at the young man as a third digit joined the other two to trace along the inside of her love hole. "Come on, don't be shy..." She purred ack at him. "Come, take a closer look."

Blinking his eyes Ray slowly stood up and, like a man possessed, began to walk slowly towards her nest. His eyes never leaving her vent he slowly crawled onto it and towards her slowly swaying rum until he was in arms reach. There he grasped her rear and pulled himself towards her, her claws leaving her pussy. Even with the objects holding them open leaving, her lips remained silently open from her own swollen lust filled cunt.

Mere inches from her own precious spot, Ray smelled a sweet yet musky scent that made his mind fogged over. Something in the back of his mind told him that it must be her heat, dragons giving this smell off when they became aroused during mating season. Yet despite this knowledge, that she was seeking relief from her own wanton lust, the elf slowly brought his mouth down to scoop that small tinkle of her fem juice from the inside of Cheryl's thigh.

The sea dragon shivered at the feeling, his tongue leaving a sheen of moisture as it trailed after the stream of her sweetness. Ray paused near the source, his heart leaping to his throat as his eyes met the sex of her species. The scutes of the silver scales on her belly seemed to shrink near this area, turning into a fine weave of small intricate scales that shimmered from both the lighting and from the clear liquid oozing out of her slowly. Yet the steel, that irresistible smell from before was strongest here.

His pants suddenly grew tight, an image of the elf ravaging her until she was filled with his load flashing before his eyes. Licking his lips slowly, Ray ignored the two fins near the base of her tail and on its bottom to place his thumbs on either side of her cunt. At the feeling of his touch there Cheryl gave out a loud purr as she relinquished herself to his whim, her thick tail lifted high as though preparing to be taken by a randy drake.

Ray however was no drake nor was he ready to take her so quickly. With his mind filled from the scent emanating from her snatch the elf slowly stuck his tongue out and he closed his eyes. The moment of truth for the sea dragon was finally here. The dream of Ray licking her, eating her most. Ulcer able spot out causing her to shake with glee.

Then it happened, the Elf's tongue sliding up along the outside of her vent in a ticklish manner that made her shudder. "I-I can't believe it..." She half whispered in awe as she turned her long neck around her form to see him picking the pace, each stroke of his soft tongue sending shivers up her form. "M-Mating..." She stammered incredulously. "I'm about to m-mate with Ray."

And that idea tore at Ray as well, his mind completely boggled as to why he was doing this. Yet even then he continued to lick her cunt slowly before pushing into her slightly, making her lips yawn wider as more of his tongue went in. His one hand began to stroke her flask, rubbing her rump before going up to the base of the dragons tail while the other went to his pants where he began to unbuckle himself.

Cheryl watched with wide eyes as he struggled to remove his pants. After several attempts he finally breathed, Rays shaft finally springing from its cloth prison and the dragons green eyes went wide with glee. He was aroused! Aroused by her! She wanted to die happy right there but instead managed a moan as he went back to his tongue, the muscles swirling within her and sending pleasure coursing through her form.

Ray breathed softly across her dragon hole, his warm moist breath making her shiver with want. And that was when. The elf pulled back making her huff as he removed his shirt only to stare when he stood up. Finally broken from what was happening, he began to back away from her raised tail and Cheryl gave out a sad whine.

"I-I can't do this..." He mumbled incredulously. "Just...no. I-I can't...you're a..."

Her nose flaring Cheryl began to slowly sway her blue and silver rear at him, a grin Ray could only assume was a seductive grin across her muzzle. "Raaaay...." She sang in a heated voice. "...I want something to fill meee." Ray's grey eyes slowly went back to her shapely ass and finally to the puffed lips of her sex. "Do you think you have some kind of tasty cream for me?"

The horny dragoness watched as the elf shudder, a cold sweat rolling down his brow. Finally he made a loud swallow and slowly walked back to her. Her heart quickened in her chest as his strong hands grasped his tail once more and slowly he aligned himself. Her breath caught when she felt his tip pressing against her folds, her mind just imagining how her luscious lips kissed his dick.

Then she gave out a cry as Ray made one powerful thrust, his shaft sliding in easily with a wet lewd slorp! Going in until he was down to his base, the elf squeezed his eyes shit and gave out a loud fpgroan when her warmth sank into his flesh and hugged him gently. A squeezing, rippling motion along his cock made him grimace as her own now fully stretched cunt suckled on him willingly. With a sigh he pulled his hips back slowly till he was barely within the needy dragon and he thrusted back in.

Soon Ray was fucking her at a moderate tempo, his shaft being pulled right back in by her muscles and they both began to pant. Her body rocking in time with his, Cheryl closed her eyes and began to vocalize her eagerness, a musical tune escaping her maw while her ears fell flat against her skull. Ray watched fascinated as she sang her music and his grip remained the same on her tail using it as leverage while he slowly kissed it, even nibbling on it lightly.

"Ray..." He opened his eyes to look down to see a lustful look to her face, her mouth slightly open. "Please...go faster." He nodded at her request and he picked up the pace. Soon the room was filled with lead pants and wet slaps of flash on soft scales and Ray moaned as her fuck hole rippled along his cock and yet again he picked up speed. His mind was so fogged over he didn't care he was fuckong a dragon in her most delicate spot. All he cared about was just to release the tension slowly building in his lower body.

"Oh gods..." He gasped as he held onto her tail for dear life. Suddenly leaning forward he wrapped an arm around her thing and placed his fingers near her sex. Cheryl's eyes shot wide open when his fingertips brushed across her now erect clit, his digits slowly rubbing in circles. The dragoness gave out a cry as she began to hump into her into lover trying to seek out more pleasure from him.

"D-Don't stop!" She screamed as her lower body began to tighten and the dragoness began to squirm from the all too wonderful feeling. Sweat dripped from Rays forehead light rain as he himself felt a familiar feeling in his loins, his shaft throbbing faster and faster. Cheryl was the first to reach her peak, her mouth opening wide to give out a roar of sweetness that echoed throughout the large room.

It was all the elf could do to keep her sated, his dick moving in a fast piston-like motion in and out of her honey pot. Fem cum splashed across his sking and began to drip down from both their legs, her cunt suckling and pulling at him hard only to succeed in coaxing what it wanted out of him. With a final cry he slammed once more into her depths and stayed there, his dick throbbing heavily as load after load of warm spunk left him speechless.

Cheryl cry turned into a soft moan as she felt his warmth ebb deep into her most sacred spot, even feeling it spurt into her womb. A sigh escaped her as Ray slowly pulled out despite not being finished, his milky white substance coating her entire vaginal walls in it. With a wet sound he was freed only to have a final, large splatter of cum drench her lips in it. With a breath Ray fell onto his rump on the nest and looked up to watch as Cheryl fell on her side.

With a dreamy look to her beautiful, slender face she lifted a legs up and snaked her head to her most vent where more of their juices began to slowly ooze out. There she stuck her long tongue out to begin cleaning the mess they had made out of her sex, scooping each small droplet of cum into mouth. Murmuring of how delicious they tasted together she quickened her licks and even went so far as to shove her tongue into her own swollen snatch to get more of the creamy spunk nestled within.

Ray though fell slowly to his backside where he draped an arm arm over his moist forehead. Soon after Cheryl crawled towards his for and laid herself down next to him. He did not respond as she began to nuzzle against his cheek affectionately, her finned tail curling around them both and her wing covered him in a living blanket. He didn't even respond to the gentle licks she gave his cheek but he did when she suddenly pressed her lips against his own.

Blinking he looked into her emerald eyes questionably. "Why?" Ray quietly whispered and Cheryl only smiled warmly at his simple question.

"I already told you Ray." She whispered back while she placed her head down next to his, her warm moist breath washing over his ear. "Because I love you. I always will."

Tears filled his eyes as the elf continued to stare at the ceiling. "How long..." He choked quietly, trying to remain strong. "How long have you been able to talk?"

Cheryl moved closer towars his naked body and placed a gentle claw on his chest. "Not long." She replied as she spun a clawed digit around his nipple. "I was able to talk for I think 30 days now? I wanted to learn sooner then that but Ian wouldn't teach me at first."

"Ian taught you?" He asked incredulously as he turned to face her. The sea dragon nodded with a smile before licking his chin once more.

"Yes."

Ray turned to face the ceiling. "Can any one else talk?" He asked plaintively and once again she nodded.

"Only a few. Not many." Her snuggles suddenly grew more. "But it doesn't matter. We're mated now so they won't touch you! I love you so much and I can't wait till we start doing things with each other more!" A grin crossed her face. "Maybe next it will suck you till you cum in my mouth."

Ray's face blushed deeply at her dirty words and the dragon gave him one final kiss before saying good night to him. Turning his head slightly he watched as she fell asleep against him and he listened until her breath was slow and even. Once certain she was asleep he began to think of what to make of his situation until he too fell asleep.

Ian whistled lightly as he went on to check the doors, the early morning sun shining in for the many windows high above in the hallway. He passed however at the door at the far end to where the sign said to keep door open a small bit as the handle was broken and it won't open from the inside. This caused him to snort and he checked it none the less to see it open. Smiling as he picked up his tool box and pushed it all the way open.

As soon as it did a fist slammed into his face and sent the older man into his ass. Wiping his now bleeding nose he looked up to see a very angry Ray standing over him. "You son of a bitch Ian." Growled Ray as Ian stood slowly up. "You made me go through hell."

Looking over the elf he saw Cheryl watching with terrified eyes only to shoot back to the elf when he pointed a finger at him. "You really must think I'm stupid huh?" He snarled at the man before pointing back towards the sea dragon behind him. "Bastard! Why by the gods would do that?!"

"Ray please..." Cheryl begged only to fall silent when he raised a hand.

"You locked me in there you asshole! The hell is wrong with you?!" He roared at Ian as he took a step towards him. Ian didn't budge, only stared at the enraged elf. Ray continued to stare back but after several minutes he brushed past the large man and began to storm his way down the hall, ignoring all the dragon heads beginning to poke out of the many pens.

Ian watched him go before sighing. Placing a finger to his lip he pulled it back to see blood there, glistening bright red. "Are you okay Ian?" Lookong down the man saw Cheryl staring up at him with sad eyes, worried for him. Smiling he placed a large hand on her snout and began to slowly stroke it causing her to close her eyes to enjoy the affection.

"I'm fine Cheryl." He looked up to watch as the elf slammed a door wide open and leave. "I'll take it it worked then?"

Cheryl nodded once before pulling away. "He hates me now Ian." She sniffed before suddenly lowering her head. "I don't want him to hate me."

Ian shook his head as he pinched his nose to stop the bleeding. "Don't worry. He'll be back." He encouraged the dragoness. "Whether he knows it or not he's got a caretaker in him." He suddenly laughed before moaning in pain from the stinging of the punch. "Can't say I blame him for being angry. I would've punched myself in the face too if I busted a door on purpose. Owwww." The older caretaker looked down at Chwryl before tapping her fin-like wing lightly. "Go on, get some more sleep. Gods only know how long you two stayed up going at it. Heck I even heard you two from my own damn home!"

A blush went across the blue dragons face. "Please tell me that was a joke..." She whimpered then she yelped, scrambling back into her room when Ian only shook his head. He began to laugh when the hen slammed the door shut.

Shaking his head he looked back up at the door. "He'll be back." He said to no one in particular as he made his way to the first aid. "Im sure of it. If he had sex with you once Cheryl hell come back for more." He smiled before laughing again. "Especially since I was once like him in my younger days. Owww."

Ray hopped into his car and started the ignition, his heart pumping adrenaline throughout his body. Pausing to get it out of his system he blinked when he saw the neck lace around his neck in the rearview mirror. Reaching under his shirt he pulled the golden pendant out to inspect it. A small smile edged its way across his handsome face but then vanished as he placed it back into his shirt.

Looking about he began to leave for the day. "Damn it." He swore loudly as he left the habitat. "The hell is wrong with me?" Yet as he flew away he couldn't help but wonder what it was he was thinking.
