Daniel inspects the waterline near the base of the Citadel and where the end of the castle town is. Xyreko is already working on solutions, so Daniel is somewhat listlessly reflecting on the battle.

  When he turns around, he flinches. Standing directly behind him is a woman with soft blue hair reaching her shoulders, and a blue mantle with a high collar that hides her mouth and cheeks. She has metallic blue horns and a blue tail that sneaks out from under the white dress she wears under the blue mantle, and her sky-blue eyes stare up at him, the slightly narrow pupils shifting a little as she stares into his eyes like she wants something. She’s also lovingly cradling her egg close to her belly.

  “R-Reina! You surprised me. Is everything alright?”

  She nods silently.

  “Ah. Good, good. Well, I’m glad to see you.”

  Her cheeks turn a little pinker, and she murmurs, “Thanks, Mukori…”

  Daniel pets the egg gently, and Reignleif steps closer to him so that he’s not reaching as far. “Feels like it’s taking forever. Definitely a lesson in patience for a human.”

  She also strokes the egg gently, nodding in agreement. “It’s my first egg… I didn’t appreciate how long they take to hatch when it wasn’t mine… A-And…”

  “You don’t have to say it,” says Daniel gently as he touches her hand with his. She smiles gently, nodding once more.

  “Mukori… Can I ask you… for a favor?”

  “Always. If it’s something I can do, I’ll do it.”

  She blushes a little. Before she adds anything, though, Daniel teases, “I’d ask you to tell me what Mukori means in return.”

  Her cheeks fill with more obvious color, and she asks at almost a whisper, “I-Isn’t it obvious?”

  “Is it a dragon word for human?”

  Her eyes narrow a little, and she shakes her head. She murmurs, “It has a few meanings together. Mate… Partner… L-Lover… Dar… Darling…” She blushes as she shrinks into her mantle a little, avoiding eye contact now.

  Daniel is quiet for a moment. He replies softly, “Thank you, uh… Can I… call you ‘Mukori’?”

  She locks her gaze to his, her pupils widening as she flushes in surprise.

  “Is that a no?”

  She snaps out of her momentary trance, and she presses in close to Daniel, and he somewhat reflexively holds her. The egg is pressed between them, and she replies softly, “P-Please do… Mukori.”

  He whispers in her ear, “Mukori.”

  She uses her left hand to grip his shirt as he holds her close.

  She finally makes her wish. “Daniel… Mukori… Please… I… I want… what… G-Geira…” She fidgets with his shirt, trying to form words. She swallows, looking up at him with watering eyes. “I… I want… y-your baby, too, Mukori.”

  This time, it’s Daniel’s turn to blush. It still catches him a little off guard when he’s propositioned so directly.

  “E-Even though number one hasn’t hatched yet?”

  She hugs the egg firmly, but she nods sheepishly. “Th-This one… isn’t yours…”

  Daniel knows she’s not being mean. It’s the truth. While he helped Xyreko with the process, it’s actually from the DNA of an ancient dragon that was in storage in the Citadel since long before the betrayal. Each of Ryuogriar, Reignleif, and Geirahoel’s first eggs were from different dragons that had passed away long before. The thinking was that hopefully, they won’t inherit any personality traits like the cruelty prevalent in the former dragon lord, his brother, and the green sage, just to be safe.

  But, now Geirahoel is proof that somehow, Dragons and humans are compatible.

  She adds, “I know… you’ll do everything you can for all of us. But, I want you and me… together…” She trails off softly, all but mumbling unintelligibly.

  “I… I’m flattered, Reina. Truly. Uh… W-Would you… like to go right now? I wasn’t doing anything important before you showed up.”

  She nods. “Please…”

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Daniel takes her hand, walking with her at a casual pace as they return to the Citadel’s interior. He asks softly, “Do… Would you like me to carry your egg for a bit?”

  She smiles, but shakes her head. “It’s okay. It’s soothing, and it’s not a burden.”

  Daniel nods. He teases, though, “You know, Mukori… I don’t think you or Geira have thought about how you’re going to transport two of them…”

  She stutters a step, and Daniel reacts on instinct, ready to catch her and the egg if she actually falls. “S-Sorry!”

  She blushes, squeaking, “Y-You embarrassed me… I… That’s… That’s an unfair thing to say…” She pouts at him softly, and she looks absolutely adorable.

  In Reignleif’s room, she sets the egg in its bedside cradle, which keeps it warm when she’s not holding it. She begins stripping out of her clothes with Daniel’s help, and she works on helping take his armor off.

  She kisses him tenderly, asking in a soft voice, “Mukori… Can… Can I…?”

  “Yes,” states Daniel. He doubts she’s too crazy in her personal tastes, but he knows she won’t go past his comfort zone any more than she wants him to pass hers. She gently pushes him back into a seated position on her bed, which brings him to her level, granting her easy access to kiss him. She then climbs into his lap, positioning herself and sliding Daniel into her. She relaxes in his lap for a moment, kissing him lovingly.

  She asks at a whisper, “I don’t want you to leave… Tonight or ever…”

  He chuckles softly. “I have to leave eventually.”

  She shakes her head. “Tonight, you stay here. But, I also meant… Stay with us. Forever. Please don’t go back to your world.”

  “I have no intention to.”

  She smiles, and she presses him down, riding him for a bit with their legs hanging off of the side. She doesn’t let her lips leave his for long, and he holds her body as she works their bodies together. She begins gyrating her hips in uneven, almost swirling motions, which surprises Daniel, and when they break lip contact, she smiles at him.

  “I didn’t know you knew so much about this form.”

  She blushes, grinding in lines and then swirls in alternation, working his member deep inside. She looks into his eyes finally, admitting softly, “I found books… When I knew… I wanted this…” She smiles, leaning into his embrace as she uses her hips to pivot back and forth. “I reread them so I could… please you…”

  Daniel smiles and kisses her, whispering, “I dunno, you’re doing alright so far, but…”

  She smirks at him, and she sits up, now bouncing while swirling her hips.

  She’s far more experienced than Geirahoel or the goblins, at least in method, and Daniel doesn’t think he’s going to last long.

  She seems to be able to tell, and she puts her hands on his chest, focusing deeply on keeping him deep inside her while she moves their nether regions in a way that stirs up her insides.

  She easily pushes Daniel over the edge, and she is rewarded with the creamy filling she was after. She moans softly, bouncing just a few more times as Daniel holds her hips, letting his seed find its way deep inside her.

  Finally, Reignleif leans down onto him, kissing him once more. “I’ll never let you go now, Mukori…”

  Daniel smiles softly. “Why would I want to go anywhere?”

  She smiles, kissing him passionately some more.

  From there, they move more comfortably on the bed, taking turns pleasuring each other as Reignleif experiments with her human body, until wearing each other out and resting together in a tender cuddle. Daniel’s life essence slowly drips from her lower lips, sticking to her insides as she hugs him close.

  As Daniel pets her side gently and she rests with her eyes closed, facing him in a loving embrace, Daniel asks, “Mukori, do dragons call eggs that hatch close together twins?”

  She looks into his eyes, smiling softly. She replies quietly, “I’m not certain, since no pair of eggs was hatched together from the same mother in my lifetime… wh-which… is a long time.”

  “If you’re alright with my lifespan, I’m alright with yours, Reina.”

  She blushes, kissing him briefly. “If they hatch the same day, I think they’re just broodmates. B-But, if you want to call them twins, I will be happy…”

  Daniel smiles, gingerly kneading her side, which she seems to like. “I suppose twins would be more accurate if they hatch from the same egg… Broodmates isn’t offensive or anything?”

  “Of course not! Dragons have struggled for centuries to produce any offspring at all. To be broodmates under the same mother… I wish I could have had such siblings growing up…” She fidgets, murmuring as quietly as she can, “Being a child alone for a long period of time was… not easy…”

  Daniel pets her head gently. “You’re a sweetheart, so I’m glad you’re the person you are, Mukori.”

  She blushes and smiles, squirming closer to him once more. “And, I kinda know what you mean, sort of. When I entered the workforce, I was the youngest person in the room for a long time, and it made it difficult to try to prove my abilities.”

  She nods against his chest. “They didn’t listen… even when I was right… I spent all my time in books. I knew things…”

  Daniel chuckles. “Definitely. Maybe not everything, but enough that when you spoke up…”

  She nods, giggling against him. “If we spoke up, we were right most of the time.”

  Daniel hugs her. “Now now, Reina. I can’t let you go now, either, knowing you’re a kindred spirit.”

  She giggles, cuddling as much against him as she can. “I love you, Mukori…”

  “I… love you too.”

  She smiles up at him, saying tenderly, “Dragons are naturally polygamous, Mukori. We have to be. More females will always be born than males.” She cups his cheek with her hand, moving her lips closer. She whispers, “I expect you to love all of us, each as individuals, but love us always. Please…”

  Daniel sighs. “I still can’t believe it.” He kisses her, adding softly, “But, I love you, Reina. Please stay by my side and grant me wonderful children.”

  She grins, whimpering as she buries her face in his chest. “Y-yes.” Her entire face is filling with color, to the point that even her ears are turning pink.

  Daniel kisses her forehead, and they cuddle together until they fall asleep.
