FAIR WARNING: Ceylon is NOT in this story. I just needed something to post alongside the story because I didn't want there to be TWO stories with pictures, and one without. Alas, this is an old, old story about how Ruco and Vaulix started their adventure on the way to Trithe, and how they came to exchange such juicy pleasantries.

The horse-drawn carriage rocked and bounced along the dirt path, shaking up the two riders and their goods. Bottles clinked against one another, boxes full of produce rumbled, and metal buckles clanged gently through the cross country path linking Trithe to New Delta.

There were two drivers guiding the carriage; the first was Rucolapesto, a green dragon with purple spots on his limbs and muzzle, the second was Vaulix, a dragon-eiroh hybrid, with dark green scales on his legs and vibrant red feathers on his upper body with dashes of green, yellow, and blue. The two were commissioned together to take a shipment of goods from New Delta to the Tritian capitol. Vaulix owned the buggy and Ruco was tagging along for the ride to ensure his shipment arrived safely.

"So tell me, Ruco, what do you do for a living?" Vaulix asked, trying to make small talk as he held the reins. "I mean, you can't be too busy if you're able to take a week just to help transport this produce."

Ruco's head frills twitched as he looked over to Vaulix. "I do a little bit here and there. I manage much of New Delta's trades with the capitol and I own my own general store. It's kept me pretty busy."

"So why the need to come with me? I'm just a transport specialist."

"Well, in the last couple months, there have been three instances of deliveries getting botched up by...someone or something. The caravans would get attacked and the goods stolen. Kind of absolutely ruined my good standing with the capitol, you know?"

"Ah, so you're here to either ensure that doesn't happen or at least find out what caused it?" Vaulix asked, never looking away from the horses that pulled the carriage.

"I suppose you could say that. There's also some rumors of the ones in charge of the caravan selling the goods or giving it up in exchange for money. Lots of things could happen, I just want to make sure it doesn't get botched. Besides, I have a meeting with the king in a little over a week to ensure my standings with the capitol haven't been tainted by the caravanners."

Vaulix nodded, taking a quick glance behind him to make sure none of his cargo had been compromised. He pulled the sheet of the carriage to the side, and everything looked to be in place. The crates of vegetables were still untouched, the boxes and bottles of juice and alcohol were still sealed and clanking against one another. Vaulix, as a cockatrice, never drank milk but he heard that Urok milk would stay good for weeks, which is why he even had one crate full of Urok milk bottles.

"Damn humans, eh?" Vaulix mused. "Mammals and their milk. I can't stand even so much as the smell of the stuff. It smells bitter and kinda rotten, like an egg going bad but not yet turned."

Ruco shrugged." Milk is kind of terrible, but it's necessary for making some of my favorite foods."

"Like what? I just eat meat. I figure that a dragon only eats meat, too." Vaulix theorized.

"Well, cheese is delicious. Kinda bitter, but it's got a texture and a certain tanginess that's awesome. Plus you can't have pizza without cheese."

"Pizza? What is that?"

"A weird concoction of meat, vegetables, dairy, and grain, brought to us by the humans up north. It's a dense bread covered in tomato sauce, cheese, and meats on top. It's really tasty. You should try it; pizza has to be my favorite food."

Vaulix gagged a bit, sticking his tongue out as he thought of eating cheese. "You sure it's any good? The meat sounds delicious, but what's wrong with just swallowing a couple Ghar and calling it a day?"

"Oh, it's so much more than that. They actually bake it all at once, and the blend of flavors works really awesome. When we get to Trithe, I'll have to bake you a pizza. If you don't like it, I'll....buy you some time at the massage parlor; Nobles and royalty only!" Ruco laughed, confident in his promise. He had the money and influence to make it happen, too.

"Fine, but if I get sick from the ingredients, you owe me a day at the parlor AND a week's worth of pre-cooked sausage." Vaulix may have preferred whole meals, but there were few things tastier than smoked, spiced sausage.

"Deal!" Ruco extended his purple-scaled hand for Vaulix to shake.

"Alright then, so what do you want to do until then? We have a few days before we get there, most of it forest. The route I've taken us through has settlements spaced just far enough out that we will arrive at each one right by nigthfall. Assuming there are no delays."

"Like being attacked by a band of bandits?"

"Precisely." He nodded then went onto the next topic. "Well I don't know about you, but I always found that the trips are incredibly lonely. You may be here to make sure the shipment gets where it needs to be on time, maybe even to make sure I don't try to screw you over or try any funny business, but I'm truly glad you showed up. It's nice to have someone to talk to, it's a form of intimacy a bird like myself isn't used to."

"Heh, intimacy." Ruco laughed.

"Well yeah, intimacy. Doesn't need to be sexy to be intimacy. Anyway, tell me more about home. You ever thinking about getting a wife, or maybe husband depending?"

Ruco paused a moment, cocking his head to the side and took a long look at Vaulix. It was odd for anyone to suggest such a thing, let alone doing it so accurately. "How did you know I was single, or that....you know, I'm open?"

Vaulix raised a talon dismissively. "Oh you know, being on the road you have a lot of time to yourself, you learn to pick up on subtleties in a person. Watching over my carriage or a caravan means I have to know precisely what someone's thinking and I can usually tell a person's intentions a few seconds before he does it."

"I'm not really thinking that answers my question. How did you know I was the way I am?"

The cockatrice shrugged, floofing out his feathers and shaking his wings a bit. "I didn't, it was just a lucky guess. I mean, think about it, you're running a business out of New Delta, and you have enough free time to transport back and forth to the capitol. Either you're single or you're pissed off at your partner. Also, it doesn't help that there's a concentrated bit of vascular activity in your crotch area, so either the vibrations of the buggy are rousing your nethers or you just find my glorious feathers to be fabulous!" He smiled and flicked the feathers under his ear back, showing himself off.

"Excuse me, I - er - um....I don't think that's...uh, you know, like...business of yours?" he stammered, fumbling with his words, somewhat flabbergasted but also hiding a hint of shyness.

"Oh please, Ruco, I've lived long enough to know that being aroused isn't something to be ashamed about. No harm in talking about it, and under certain circumstances even acting on it."

Ruco stared, blank-faced at Vaulix, jaw hanging slightly open. He had absolutely no idea what to say. He did find Vaulix to be beautiful, and he was aroused, but he'd been aroused for weeks and had gotten to the point where he'd hump anything with a wet hole, assuming they let him. He'd been so stressed over the lost goods and so busy with ensuring future deliveries were taken care of he hadn't relieved himself in weeks. Evidently it was starting to show. "Uh, sure, I guess..." he trailed off, looking dead straight forward and avoiding eye contact.

"You don't have to be shy, Ruco." Vaulix assured the slightly embarrassed dragon, then leaned into his passenger with a whisper. "I'll let you in on a little secret, I know precisely what you're thinking."

Ruco blushed some more and glanced over to the cockatrice, but then looked away as soon as he got sight of Vaulix's suggestive gaze. "Sure." he said curtly, trying to avoid further discussion of the topic.

Vaulix rolled his eyes. "Come on Ruco, I know what you want, I know you're trying to shut the conversation down, and I know about your dry spell due to these caravan issues. I'm just gonna leave this on the table: I think I can help you with both of your problems."

Ruco's eye twitched as he fought to stay looking forward. He didn't say a word, and his insistence to remain silent temporarily silenced Vaulix as well.

The two travellers stared ahead at the road for hours, not looking at each other, and not saying a word. They passed through a small bush, through fields, all while listening to the rumbling of the carriage, the clanking of bottles, and nothing else. It was incredibly awkward.

Vaulix was an old bird, he'd long since mastered the ability to read the minds of others. It wasn't something he abused often, but he could tell right from the beginning that Ruco was stressed and worried, so it only took him a few moments of telepathic digging to find the source of his dragon comrade's woe, and only moments more to decide he wanted to help in any way he could. Vaulix had lived a long and fulfilling life, and at this stage wanted to dedicate himself to helping others, especially where they couldn't normally get help or wouldn't be willing to ask for it, and his unique abilities made it a natural fit for him to help people like Ruco. Regardless, he felt he had crossed a line by coming out so bluntly with his assertions and offers, so he decided it was time to let Ruco take control of the situation; he wouldn't talk about it again until the dragon brought it back up, which took hours of awkward silence.

They were travelling through an open meadow, and were approaching the edge of a forest when the silence was broken, and Ruco eventually spoke, "So, um, when you said about helping out, what did you mean by that?"

"Been thinking about that for hours, huh?"

"Well, yeah. Are you gonna help me with my transport problems?"

Vaulix smiled, happy that the dragon was talking again. "Well, I can, but that's not what I was referring to."

Ruco blushed again, looking away, his shyness getting the better of him. He thought that's what he meant, but he was kinda hoping it wasn't. Getting confirmation made him embarrassed all over again.

"I told you that there's no need to be shy, Ruco. I was referring to your pent up nature. I can tell that you need a release more than anything else. I'm not shy, and I am more than willing to offer myself for your desires, if you think it'll help." Vaulix offered. His hands were still on the reins, and the sun was starting to go down in the distance. The first bits of cloud cover had begun to blanket the evening sky, indicating to the cockatrice that there would almost certainly be rain that night.

"Like...a prostitute?" Ruco squeaked.

"No, more like a friend. A friend with sexy benefits. An accomplice if that helps your perception." Vaulix assured. He could tell by the tone Ruco took when mentioning prostitutes that he was uncomfortable with the idea of paying someone for physical intimacy. For sex.

"Well, when you put it that way." Ruco whispered, mostly to himself.

Vaulix tugged on the reins to make the horses stop moving.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ruco asked. "We have to hit the next town before sundown or risk losing the goods!"

Vaulix dismissed him with a wave as he hopped down and around the horses, giving each one a pat on the side of the neck before reaching to the harness that was in front of them and detaching it from them. He took each of their leads and guided them to a nearby tree, tying them up. They had just made it to the forest's edge and were at the first bit of scruff that they could tie to.

"Vaulix, what are you doing?" Ruco repeated.

"Shush, dear. Trust me. Follow." he waved Ruco forward off the carriage, urging him to join on the border between meadow and forest.

"But, the cargo..."

"I know this route, and we're not going far. Nobody is going to come by until morning. Trust me."

Ruco nodded slowly. He was naturally hesitant, but the cockatrice's tone was warm and assuring, and there was a deep warmth bubbling up through his chest. Vaulix was oddly blunt and forward with his intentions, but it was also remarkably comforting to be with someone who was so sure of themselves and so willing to help that he couldn't help but submit himself to it. With slight reservation, he hopped off the side of the cart and stepped away from it, glancing back in between steps to make sure it wouldn't roll away. "Are you..sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, come!" Vaulix stepped up to Ruco and took his hand, dragging him away from he carriage and into a small dip in the meadow where nobody could see them from the road, but they could still see the horses and the carriage with ease.

Part of Ruco's prominent lizard body made him think that this situation was far too convenient to be the first time Vaulix had done it to a lonely traveller. A flash of caution made him think that perhaps this is how he lured bandits to take his cargo....but all of that faded when the cockatrice leaned in to lay a gentle, slow lick on Ruco's beak-like muzzle, stopping his heart and thoughts dead.

"Don't be shy, Ruco." Vaulix repeated as he brought his one hand up to stroke around the dragon's ear holes and tickle his head barbs.

Ruco melted. The warm touch on his scales sent a tingle up an down his spine, concentrating itself on the back of his neck. His tail raised and his head spines all stood on their ends as his eyes rolled back in his head. He caressed the hand that was caressing him, nuzzling into it as a deep churr escaped his bone-beaked mouth.

"See? It's not so bad, you just need to loosen up a bit, and let me help you." Vaulix cooed as he reached down with his free hand to slip into Ruco's lose pants, rubbing at the bulging sheathe. There was a hint of curiosity from Vaulix, because most dragons had cloaca slits, not sheathes and external balls, but Ruco had a round sheathe, with a pair of scaly-skinned balls dangling down.

There was a gasp as Ruco felt the hand tickling at his crotch. In that instant, it was like all his hesitation and shyness melted away, and his hands reached down to untie his pants, letting the loose fabric hit the ground. That was all he was wearing, and Vaulix was already naked, though his genitals were hidden away inside him with nothing showing he even had sexy parts.

"Oh, I can feel you getting excited already, Ruco. Little dragon has needed this for a while, hasn't he?" Vaulix cooed as his fingertips dragged up and down the length of his scaled sheathe. The cockatrice's experienced digits rubbed at the moistened sheathe opening, inserting a couple inches to tease at the dragonhood inside.

Ruco's eyes rolled back as he drooled a little, feeling the blood rush to his sheathe. His cock grew inside and pushed Vaulix's finger out, glistening in the twilight as the bits of lubricating fluid dribbled off the purple and orange ridges. A powerful scent filled the air as his arousal wafted like a cloud between them.

The two of them locked eyes for a moment as Vaulix grinned devilishly. The smell was thick in his nostrils, and he could practically taste the desire that Ruco was exuding. Rather than beat around the bush with silly chatting and romantic quips, the horny cockatrice jumped right in, pouncing on Ruco and pinning the dragon to the ground, trapping his wings beneath him.

"Unf!" Ruco grunted as he squirmed underneath the slightly larger cockatrice. "What have you got in mind?"

The two were in cowgirl position, with Ruco on his back and Vaulix sitting on his belly. A single finger was pressed up against the dragon's muzzle. "Shhhh." Vaulix instructed. The cockatrice began rotating his hips against Ruco, letting the ridged member rub between his cheeks and up underneath his tail. Vaulix's crotch nubs were engorged and fullly erect as his own member poked out of the vertical slit between his legs. He could feel Ruco's member probing at the tail end of the opening to rub against his purple inner flesh. He continued to thrust his body up and down in waves, letting the dragon's cock tease at his hole just a bit before pulling away.

As Vaulix continued to grind sensually on Ruco's midsection, the dragon felt his own hips bucking up in time with the gyrations, pushing his member a few inches deeper into the reptilian slit. The cockatrice, though half dragon, was all warm blooded, so the warmth was a welcome feeling for Ruco, who was used to somewhat colder, less moist flesh to bury himself in. He clamped his jaw shut and growled lightly as he rest his hands on the massive, sharp scales of Vaulix's hips as he arched his back, lifting his hips up to bury himself fully.

They shared a gasp as Ruco's length disappeared into the tight confines of Vaulix's slit. The cockatrice's own member continued to slide out of the front half of the slit, bulbous glans rubbing along the dragon's soft-scaled belly, leaving a trail of moisture in its wake. Vaulix stopped grinding down on his partner, opting to instead let the dragon take control.

"Like this?" Ruco panted as he pulled out, letting his ridges catch on the thick scales lining the cockatrice's slit, a series of wet slurps and drops of fluid accompanying each extraction of his length before he pushed back up, using the ensuing mess to slide with ease back underneath his partner's girth. He could feel the thickness of Vaulix's member inflating inside, making his canal tighter and firmer.

The thrusting rocked Vaulix's body, making his cock bob and slap against the wettening surface of Ruco's belly, his slick precum and lubricating fluids make the whole ordeal messy but fun. He pressed his hand on the top of his member to make its nubbed shaft rub against Ruco's chest, the ribbed tip and bumps massaging the dragon's chest and between his pecs. He could feel the dragon's deep rumbling in pleasure not just on the underside of his cock, but also reverberating through his purple and orange speckled cock. The ridges and nubs accented each motion and especially the vibrations. It wasn't often Vaulix played bottom, letting others inside him, but the sensation mixed with the added tightness offered by his still partially sheathed cock was definitely worth it.

Ruco grunted and pushed up with vigor, the slick flesh of his thighs slapping against the cockatrice's own rougher scales. Every thrust was another wave of sensations blasting through the both of them. Every time Ruco thrust in, he felt his ridges accentuate as his cock tensed up, the nubs engorging and growing much firmer, so when he pulled out he could feel his own bumps and ridges rubbing against Vaulix's inside, the thin membrane of flesh separating the hole he was thrusting into and the source of the dragon-bird's cock.

He leaned up, pressing Vaulix's cock between the two of them so he could wrap up his partner in a hug, then slam him down onto his back, cock still deep inside. Ruco was getting a bit more aggressive, and Vaulix looked up sheepishly, hands up at his chest in a weak display. He was the sub today, and Ruco definitely needed this. He didn't just need the moisture and warmth, but deep inside he needed to be on top, in control. With the loss of control due to the caravans being taken over and ransacked, he needed to get the control back.

"This is more like it." Vaulix growled as he lay on his back, grinning up at Ruco. His wings were folded tight beneath him, and he licked his lips. "Take me like you want to, take me hard and rough like you need to."

The words were lost on Ruco's ears, as he was losing himself to the carnal lust that enveloped him. He lifted his partner's reptilian legs up to his shoulders, cock still buried between the firm slit lips of Vaulix. Not wasting a moment, he slapped his hips against his partner, relishing in the sensation of the warm flesh smothering his cock. In and out he thrust as he growled with carnal lust, he didn't want to be gentle, he didn't want to be kind, he wanted to fuck this cockatrice's fuck hole until it was raw and sore. He wanted his cock to be hot with friction.

There was a repetitive echo of wet slaps following each and every thrust, both parties grunting and groaning and moaning in pleasure. Ruco leaned down far, folding his partner in half, knees down on his chest squishing his massive cock between his torso and legs. There was a light drip of precum dribbling out onto his chestfeathers, darkening them with fluids. He didn't mind.

They continued to press against one another, Ruco holding Vaulix's legs up as he plowed at him with gusto. He could hear the wet squelching with each thrust as his nubbed and ridged member slipped in and out. He let one leg down so Vaulix could roll over on his side with only one leg raised. He spread out his wings and arms to get a better, more stable position so he didn't slide as Ruco thrust.

"Don't stop, go harder my dragon stud!" Vaulix shrieked, his chest feathers floofing out as a feral display of arousal. He dug his claws at the ground as he felt his slit being pounded hard. "You....you should get bigger!"

Bigger? Ruco didn't know what to make of that, but just seconds after the question dissipated in his mind, he felt an odd tingle surging through his nethers as the hole he was in felt like it got tighter. He pulled out a bit and looked at his member, which seemed to be twice as thick as it used to be!

"W-what did you do to me?" Ruco stuttered.

"Just shush and enjoy it, have your fun." Vaulix commanded.

Ruco was still somewhat confused, but the sensations of the hole clamping down on his growing cock was too much to handle. He pulled out, letting the nubs and ridges tug on the flesh, yanking out a rim of purple flesh to the cool evening air before he thrust back in, relishing in the sounds and sensations of his every accented feature brushing over the velvety pillows of moist flesh that smothered him.

Vaulix brought his hand up to his own cock to press it below his leg so that it would slap at Ruco's chest every time he thrust. The moist surfaces slapped together, and the pleasure from it coaxed more fluids from Vaulix, letting streams of precum trailing between his nubs and Ruco's chest.

The sun was almost gone from the sky, and the night was a blend of orange and blue, with stars dotting the dark blue half. The occasional gusts of wind made a rustle through the flowers and tall grass, but all the two eager lovers could hear was the cacophony of grunts, squishes, slaps, and moans as they continued to grind against one another.

The hole got tighter for Ruco as his cock continued to thicken, and it wasn't long at all before the sensations were just too much for him. He leaned down over his partner, holding leg with one hand and cock with the other as he arched his neck to enable his tongue to lick at the ridged, somewhat flared out tip of Vaulix's member, his own girth pushing deep into the cock slit and into what felt like a cavernous opening. He grunted and bit down hard as his orgasm exploded into the cockatrice's slit, painting his walls white with dragon seed.

As if on command, the cockatrice's cock exploded at the same time, constricting Ruco's member inside as a wave of avian cum splattered against the roof of Ruco's mouth, which he eagerly slurped up, dragging his tongue along his maw and lips to get every last drop.

His cock began to deflate inside, no longer the engorged massive shaft it was when he came. The tingling sensation was dying down with each passing second as his girth shrunk. As the pleasure waves weakened and the last drops of cum dribbled out his tip into Vaulix's canal, he pulled out, leaving a slight gape between the yellow belly scales. He could see, even in the dim twilight, the bit of bright purple flesh closing in on itself, forcing the remnants of fluid out.

Vaulix's cock was also shrinking to a more normal size, slurping itself back up into his slit. It wasn't properly shrunk yet, and still mostly engorged, so it stretched his cloaca lips wide before disappearing, the reptilian scales acting like a wipe, forcing all the fluids and cum off its length to dribble over his closing cloaca and onto the base of his tail.

"Well, that was awesome." Vaulix cooed, rolling over onto his side before getting to his feet. The movement and gravity helped the last bit of cum out of him to dribble along the inside of his thighs. As he got up, Ruco fell onto his back, chest heaving from that quick but passionate session.

"Wow..." he panted. "You were totally right, I needed that." His cock was still semi erect, with beads of cum dribbling out the tip onto his belly.

"Indeed it was good for you. I knew it would be." without warning, Vaulix got down on his knees, straddling Ruco's legs, leaning his body over the exhausted dragon.

"Eep, hey!" Ruco chirped, surprised.

Vaulix didn't respond, he just leaned down, licking the cum off Ruco's belly, slurping every bit of it down as he nuzzled the retreating member; he was using one free hand to massage the purple-scaled sheathe as the dragon's length retreated into it.

The dragon's body twitched as he giggled, enjoying the sensation but without the strength or ability to get aroused a second time.

Once Vaulix was finished cleaning up and Ruco was fully sheathed once again, he gave the sheathe opening a little kiss, flicking his tongue out a bit for added intimacy, then quickly hopped up to his feet, using his tail to flick Ruco's pants back over to the dragon. "There ya go." He instructed, then licked his lips. "We've had our fun, now it's time to get back on the road so we can make a small stop in Ghrotis before heading to Trithe."

There was a somewhat confused silence before Ruco spoke up. "So...why the sudden change of pace? Share an intimate moment then you just callously say it's time to get back to work, like it's a casual break time activity?"

Vaulix took Ruco by the hand and helped him to his feet. "Well, it kind of was. I saw you needed release, I felt your desire, and I knew that you'd be better off with a bit of....moist tenderness, if you get my drift."

"I do, but what incited such generosity?" Ruco was getting his pants on, wings out to balance him as he hopped from one foot to the other.

"What can I say? You strike me as a kind soul. I told you, I've been doing this a long time, I can tell what people need and how to make trips the easiest for everyone involved. And besides, you're a cutie, don't be afraid to hit me up if you need some companionship in the future. I travel a lot, but I'd be more than willing to let you come with me if need be."

Ruco nodded. "Well, okay then. So, how about we get an inn at Ghrotis and share a bed? I mean, you want to help, and I'd love to have someone to cuddle with as I fall asleep."

"Meh, I guess we'll see when we get there. For now, let's hook the horses back up and get back moving. We still have a couple hours before we make it to Ghrotis, who knows what could happen between there and here."

The two of them both made their way back out of the scoop of dirt to the carriage, which was still whole and filled with produce. They both had to doublecheck and count bottles to make sure it was all there, but it was fine. Ruco's earlier worry was proven wrong. Ruco got back up on the carriage as Vaulix brought the horses back, reattaching the harness.

As the cockatrice hopped back up onto the carriage, he waved his hand over each of the lanterns to ignite the candles inside. The looked at each other with a warm smile before they whipped the reins lightly to get the horses moving.

"So tell me. What exactly did you do to me back there?" Ruco asked as they got on their way, heading through the pitch black forest."

"That was transformation magic. But Shhhh, don't tell anyone I can do that."

Ruco's jaw dropped a bit. Transformation magic was the hardest type of magic to master, and if Vaulix, his escort for this trip, had mastered it as well as telepathy, he knew there was more to this cockatrice than meets the eye. "I see, I see. Vaulix, my horny bird friend, we have a lot to talk about over the next couple days."

"I'm all ears. And wings and feathers and scales and stuff, but right now I'm all ears."
