Geirahoel squirms in her bed in the morning as a disruption in her belly indicates it is time. She cries out, “Xyreko! Xyreko!”

  The golem Caretaker to the Citadel appears just inside the orange dragon’s room, asking in her normal tone, “Yes, Lady Geirahoel? What can I do for you?”

  Geira murmurs, “C-Can you please retrieve Daniel for me?”

  “Daniel?”

  “Yes. P-Please just get him.”

  “Is everything all right?”

  “Yes! Just bring Daniel! Quickly! It’s all his fault anyways!”

  Xyreko cocks her head, but she vanishes just as quickly, undoubtedly to go inform Daniel.

  Geira tosses and turns in her bed, trying to find a comfortable position. She already spoke to Ryuogriar and Reignleif, who told her that she was getting close to laying her egg. They told her that both of them spent the process alone with Daniel, and he was very gentle and kind. At first, Geira didn’t want to bother Daniel, but Ryuogriar insisted that it’s an important part of bonding with the one who she intends to raise the egg with.

  First, though, Daniel would have to come, and it’s not likely that he will, after how she…

  A knock comes at the door, and she calls out, “E-Enter!” She groans as the door opens, and she can’t resist squirming in her bed once more, which makes it easy for Daniel to find her.

  He asks with a tone that sounds a little concerned, “Need something, Geira?”

  “I… M-My egg is coming!”

  “And? You could be in your true form, and it should-...” She groans to drown him out, feeling like he’s being intentionally insolent.

  “GAH! Ryuo and Reina both said…!” She clutches her bulging belly as she trails off her thought.

  “Geira…”

  “HELP ME!” She looks at Daniel with watering eyes. “P-Please…? Th-They said… It’s… important… A-A-And…” She doesn’t want to say more. It’s embarrassing, and she doesn’t want to frighten him.

  Daniel sighs as he admits defeat. “Alright.” He closes the door, approaching the bed and surveying Geira as she squirms and moans pitifully.

  He stands by for a moment, and she asks, “W-What are you waiting for?”

  “What do you want me to do?”

  She throws her hands into the bed, whining, “Comfort me! Why do I have to tell you everything!?”

  Daniel simply scoffs, not taking her irritation personally. “This isn’t a trap, is it?”

  “Stop being mean and comfort me! Now!” She squirms in her blankets towards him, and he finally takes his armor off, climbing onto the bed to join her. Without hesitation, she wriggles her way towards him like a caterpillar, and she presses her back into his chest. She groans as she presses her weight into him, reclining against him without regard for his surprise.

  Surprisingly enough, she does feel instantly more comfortable sitting against him as he finally complains, “Hey now…”

  “Shh… This feels nice…” She rubs her head against his chest, taking his hands and putting them on her bulging belly. “Now comfort me… P-Please…”

  Obviously more trapped now than he was, Daniel begins gently massaging her belly with kneading motions from his fingers and palms. She hums, relaxing in his embrace. She murmurs, “N-Not bad… F-For a human…”

  Daniel teases in her ear with a soft voice, “Because you’re so experienced?”

  “Hrk! Shut up…” Daniel chuckles, and she grips his wrists as she feels her muscles tighten and strain as the egg continues its slow and painstaking journey out of her belly. Daniel stops, and she whimpers, “D-Don’t stop…”

  “Oh… I thought you were trying to stop me.”

  “No… I just… I didn’t… This… feels more comfortable than I expected…” She looks partially over her shoulder, revealing her pinkened cheeks. Daniel takes a breath and exhales. “Yeah… And, can I say something without you getting mad?”

  “Mmm… yes…”

  Daniel whispers in Geirahoel’s ear, “You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”

  She flinches, squeaking and stammering. “Y-Y-You’re m-making that up! You’re just saying it to tease me!”

  “No… Your hair, your eyes, your freckles… They all match what I like most.”

  She squirms a little, widening her legs a little. “Th-That’s not fair! You can’t just say that! It’s embarrassing… Besides, this isn’t even my true form…”

  “True. Though, from a human’s perspective, you were also beautiful as a dragon.”

  “Mmmmrrrr! Dummy! Stupid human!”

  Daniel chuckles. “How are you feeling? Are you alright?”

  She murmurs more tenderly, “It… It’s more painful than I thought, but… m-my body is adjusting…”

  “Do you want me to move so I…?”

  “NO! Don’t leave…” She grips his arms tightly.

  “So I can catch the egg… is what I was going to say.”

  She shakes her head. “Mm-mm! This is f-fine. Just… keep doing what you’re doing. M-Maybe a little lower… B-But don’t get any ideas!”

  Daniel does as she bids, and she relaxes in his embrace once more, squirming her legs and tail to try to help her egg move as easily as possible. He can reach her pelvic region from their embrace, and her legs fidget even more as she gets closer and closer to a small climax. Daniel isn’t trying to pleasure her, but she seems to be more readily stimulated than the other two. She moans and mewls, wriggling in his arms as she works her legs and body to both enjoy herself and lay her egg.

  She kicks and yelps as her body convulses. She made it to climax before the egg was laid, and she screams as the egg makes a big movement. Daniel can feel the shell of the egg at her lower lips, and she leans back hard into him, crying as she claws at his sleeves. “D-Daniel!” She whimpers as she tenses tightly, and Daniel massages her labia to help her muscles relax as much as possible.

  Within only a few more moments of cradling her and massaging her, the egg finally squeezes out with a ‘ploomp!’ as she cries, clutching tightly to Daniel’s arms. She catches her breath in his embrace as her tail cradles the egg against her leg, which is supported by Daniel’s.

  Daniel whispers into her ear, since she hasn’t been able to open her eyes yet, “Congratulations, Geira. It’s an egg…”

  “What’s that supposed to mean, d-dummy?”

  “Sorry. When human babies are born on earth, the gender is announced to the room. Since it’s an egg, it was just a joke.” He kisses her jaw, and she squirms a little more, finally opening her eyes to look at him with rosy cheeks. She looks at her egg, gingerly moving it with her tail to lift it so she can pick it up into an embrace of her own. She snuggles the egg to her chest, rubbing her cheek against it. Daniel gingerly pets the egg as well, still pinned into a seated position by Geira.

  She catches his hand with her own, and he halts. But, she interlocks her fingers with his, holding his hand affectionately.

  She whispers, “D-Daniel…”

  “Yes?”

  She hesitates for a moment, and then sets the egg to the side. Daniel asks, “Everything all right, Geira?”

  She pivots in his embrace, facing him. She cups his cheeks with her hands, and he blushes a little. It’s surprisingly tender, and her own gaze is locked with his as her own cheeks are bright pink. She whispers tenderly, “I love you…”

  Before Daniel can respond to the declaration, she pins him down on his back to kiss him tenderly. She hugs him close, rubbing her cheeks against his as she keeps him held down, though he hasn’t actively tried to resist. “G-Geira…”

  “Daniel…” She kisses him again, stopping him from saying anything.

  Daniel finally takes control, rolling them both over so that he is on top of her, but she captures him with her arms and legs. If he orders her, she has to let him go, but until then, she doesn’t want to let him escape.

  Daniel says gently, “That was surprising.”

  She looks to the side, saying sheepishly, “Y-You’re the one that always insinuates something…”

  He chuckles, brushing her auburn hair aside for a moment. She pouts up at him, and he asks gently, “Do you mind letting me up now? Your egg…”

  She shakes her head. “No.” She hugs him more firmly, pulling herself up close to press her lips to his again. She adds when he doesn’t resist her, nearly whispering, “I want another egg…”

  “A-Already? Geira…”

  “Yes… I want them to hatch close together…” Her eyes water. “I want… y-you, D-Daniel…” She blushes and closes her eyes, tears slipping down her cheeks. “P-Please…”

  Daniel whispers softly, “Geira…”

  “Please, Daniel… This is a personal request… Please?”

  Daniel murmurs softly, “Okay…”

  She smiles looking into his eyes with joyful tears. “R-Really?”

  He nods gently. “Why not? Just promise me you’ll ask for help if you need it.”

  She gives an earnest nod in turn. “Y-Yes! Of course!” She hugs him, kissing him again. She still hasn’t let go of his waist, and he resists only enough to ask, “If you let me up, I’ll go…”

  “No. Daniel… I want… I want…” She squirms her hips against his, tearing up again.

  He becomes a little nervous. “Wh-Wait, What?”

  She cocks her head pleadingly, murmuring, “I want… you… Please… Daniel, be my… m-m-mate…” She blushes, squirming under him as she refuses to let him go.

  “I… somewhat expected this from the other two, but… Geira?”

  “Y-You said I’m beautiful… r-right? W-Won’t you…?”

  Daniel sighs. He points out softly, “Geira… this… this isn’t like you…”

  She blushes, hugging herself to his shoulder. “I’m sorry… I… You’ve always been right. I’m… I’m too embarrassed… when others are around…” She rubs her chin on his shoulder, “I want you, now and always, Daniel… Our eggs… I want many with you… P-Please… Now…”

  Daniel hesitates, but he sighs. “No more than two until we figure out how difficult the children are to raise, alright?”

  She nods, hope filling her eyes. She feels happiness threatening to burst out of her. Her heart begins racing.

  Daniel smiles, relaxing down to lay on her and kiss her gently. Daniel cautiously, but earnestly strips Geira of her nightgown, and he removes his own clothes, though she makes it difficult by clinging to him and sitting in his lap as she makes out with him. She asks softly, “Does this body truly please you, Daniel?”

  With a nod, he begins loosening the elegant single braid she wears with her hair using his fingers. “Yes.”

  She smiles, sliding her hips up and down against his waist, teasing penetration. Daniel is mindful of where the egg is, and while they’re both sitting up, he lifts Geira enough to penetrate her, and she gasps lightly, giggling as she continues to hug him. He lays her back down on her back, thrusting into her gently. She moans and smiles, hugging his waist more gently with her legs as they make love on her bed.

  She climaxes again only moments before Daniel does, and the two lock lips passionately as he pumps his seed into her.

  However, once isn’t enough for her, and Geirahoel takes charge after a short break. She rolls them over, riding Daniel from above as she cradles his head and kisses him.

  As she rides him, she huffs gently, “Daniel… Thank you… I… I love you… I really do…”

  She works her lips lovingly against his, not needing an answer, or afraid that he won’t answer her feelings directly. Regardless, she gets what she wants; a loving partner who fills her womb with the precious essence of his being.

  Geirahoel kisses Daniel one more time before flopping down onto the bed beside him, petting her belly. She snuggles against him, humming happily. She murmurs, “Th-This was all just for an egg, D-Daniel… I… I hope you understand.”

  He chuckles, asking softly, “Will it work this way? Before, we…”

  “Yes.”

  “Even though I’m…?”

  “Human?” She shifts as close to him as she can, murmuring, “I don’t care what the outcome is, as long as it’s an egg and grows up happy and strong.”

  “I see…”

  She pouts a little, murmuring, “You’re strong, Daniel… I… I wouldn’t have chosen just anyone… B-But don’t get arrogant! O-Our baby will be stronger than even you!”

  Daniel chuckles, petting her belly. She rolls over, collecting her egg and scooting backwards into Daniel to rest. Daniel embraces her from behind gently, and she lays her tail over his hip. She murmurs, “Um… I… If you want… We can mate again… I wouldn’t mind being certain, Daniel…”

  He hugs her, leaning over her shoulder to gently peck her cheek. “Are you sure you’re even ovulating so soon after laying an egg?”

  She wriggles her hips, seemingly trying to entice him to admit that he wants to make love to her again before she does. “Yes… I think… Making love like this has made me certain this is worth it, Daniel.” She looks over her shoulder, blushing as she holds her egg. “P-Please make certain to give me another…”

  “You’re so greedy, Geira.”

  Daniel inserts into her from behind, which is a little tricky, thanks to her tail, but she hums happily all the same. He makes love to her, and she is distracted away from cuddling her first egg as she accepts her human mate once more.

  After they have shared a third climax leaving his seed to settle in her womb, the two lie together under her blankets, sleeping the night away, now that they’re both exhausted.

  Though Geirahoel returns to being prickly with Daniel outwardly, once her belly begins to show the second time, she becomes much softer and more tender. It’s then that Ryuogriar and Reignleif notice, and they ask her what happened. Geirahoel refuses to tell them, and they ask if she chose one of the male lesser dragons. She still refuses to say.

  It is said that, when two eggs that were laid one after the other are kept together, they will synchronize their hatching times to the same day, which is why Geirahoel wanted to have her second one as soon as the first one was laid.

  She seeks out Daniel regularly for making love, though they both keep it secret. He doesn’t tell anyone, but Geirahoel is his first lover in either world, and he doesn’t want that causing even more trouble.

  For now, peace and love have blossomed between them, and they’re content with how things are.

  Though, Daniel does wonder whether or not he’ll have to begin refusing her when the second egg is laid in order to keep their agreement. Until they know how much of a handful dragon children are, they can’t be reckless with making too many.

  Once they know, however, then it’ll likely be all fair in love and war.
