Gotta Love Dragons Page 7

  With that matter solved and felling like he had sort-of a plan to handling his mess of a life, Rei loaded the car with Python being surprisingly useless and not much more stronger than Rei was as a human, which made Rei squint a bit and only raised more questions. He knew for a fact that Troy could bench-press him if he so had the urge. With his pinkie. He hated not knowing what was happening and the more he watched Python and his fidgety behavior, the more he was convinced that he didn’t know all that was happening.

  They chose in an unspoken agreement the most horrible, puke green sheets for Ryuu and some lavender ones for Johnny’s bed. That had been awkward but Python had been the one to suggest them.

  “The color suits his skin. He also likes purple.” It had definitely been interesting coming from Python.

  On the way back it happened again. The car first got unbearably hot, or that was just Rei and his blood pressure skyrocketing, among other things that were rising. He knew what it was, but knowing that Python’s pheromones when practically drugging him didn’t lessen the effect. He’d bragged about his busted nose but even that didn’t really do much to lessen the effect after he’d spent the last two hours in Python’s company and was now trapped in the small car space with him. Rei didn’t know if he wanted to resist the pull, which wasn’t doing him any favors in, umm you know, actually resisting. He had the car parked on the deserted street leading up to the house, in the shadow of some trees, before he’d taken a conscious decision or even knew what the hell he was doing. Python’s wide-eyed expression only made him hornier. Python was six feet six, a great deal taller and bigger than Rei, most likely stronger too. Seeing the big guy this vulnerable and unsure did things to Rei’s libido even without all the pheromones.

  “What- I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I just can’t help it! You’re my mate, it’s natural that I-”

  “You want me.”

  “Oh gods, yes! Oh, I mean-”

  Rei let out a belly laugh that made him feel young and reckless. It was the pheromones, probably that explained it but also not. Being here with Python, seeing someone wanting him so badly that they were actually afraid, yeah, that shit was empowering and he wanted more. When Rei wanted, Rei got. Huh. How much similar could him and Python get?

  “I want you too. I’m not saying that I want us but- Ugh.”

  His hands were shaking with barely restrained frenzy. He wanted to touch, to suck and taste, to fuck. Python’s smell got stronger, the guy was pushing into the door as if trying to keep some distance between them and Rei almost laughed at that.

  “It’s my pheromones. It’s because you’re my mate. I don’t want-”

  “You don’t want to influence me? You know that’s kinda funny coming from you.”

  Rei’s tone maybe was a bit sharper than he’d have liked but that was a sore topic for him and he wasn’t sure he’d forgiven Python yet for almost killing his brother. So not the time for all that drama. The naga flinched and Rei almost regretted his words but it was better to be said out loud.

  “Yeah, your pheromones drive me crazy and you know what? I don’t think I mind that. Last time I’ve indulged had been more than six months ago. I know you want more, but frankly this all mate business- so not ready dude-”

  “You want to fuck.”

  Python’s face closed off and Rei wanted to swore. He much regretted not having his buddy Mike’s ability to smell feelings right about now. He’d been offered the bite a couple of years ago but had refused to renounce being human. He didn’t want to hurt Python but this sexual tension between them? It wasn’t new and it was only getting worse. It was affecting everyone in the house too. Rei had tried to lie to himself and deny it until now but he could deny only so much. He- he also wanted this for other reasons than to scratch an itch but that was something he still needed to think about. There was Johnny to consider too. While he thought about all that, no more than a couple of seconds, Python’s face cleared and a calculated smirk graced those finely sculpted damned lips. Gorgeous motherfucker.

  “I could do that. No hardship at all.”

  Yeah. He wanted this. Consequences be damned.

  Half-public sex was not a novelty for Python but this still felt awkward in a way he’d never felt before. He felt vulnerable like this. Like this meaning leaning on the front seat of the car, ass up and hanging outside the car. The road was deserted and only led to Trojan’s mansion, who probably had some repellent spell to keep intruders away. Even so, Python felt off-kilter and exposed. Well, he was exposed. He could, after all, currently feel the air caressing his naked buttocks and he wondered not for the first time how he was the one that had ended ass up on the side of the road with his mate behind him not doing bloody anything for what felt like the last of forever. He thought he was at least getting sex out of this, not only embarrassment. With his luck and his current health, Python was half convinced at the moment that he had higher chances of getting pneumonia rather than Rei’s dick.

  “Do you need me to draw you a map or? An instructions manual?”

  The sharp feel of Rei slapping his ass in retaliation, pulled a surprised gasp from Python and Rei’s groan only made it better. Who knew that his human mate was so kinky? When he’d watched Rei with Johnny, Python had only seen tenderness and gentle adoration. He lost his thought when Rei finally decided to act and Python tensed as another slap reddened his other asscheek.

  “You like that, don’t you? Gorgeous bastard.”

  “Umm. Oh, do that again!”

  Rei blew on his twitching hole and Python arched his back to get closer to the seat, to get some friction on his dick. His hips got pulled back roughly, bruising fingers holding him still as Rei got closer and instead of blowing air, his tongue got into the action. One swipe was enough to get Python on fire and moaning so loudly that he’d probably scared all wildlife away.

  “The sounds you make, oh god.”

  Some rustle could be heard behind and Python turned just in time to see Rei free his angry red cock from the confines of his jeans. Rei had only unzipped and pulled the pants open, letting them hang on his narrow hips, the sight of his glistening cock indecently jutting from the parted material. His shirt was open too, letting Python glimpse the toned body usually hid by bulky warmer clothes. Rei’ skin was paler than his, resembling a moonlight kissed canvas, and Python felt himself drool over the washboard abs and the velvet dark look thrown his way.

  “I’m going to break you. Make you cry and beg. Make you mine.”

  He shivered and Rei just smirked at his reaction. The belt sang through the air and warmed Python’s skin. With it came silence and stillness. It was weird, Python had never been at the receiving end of these kind of games but hell, did it feel good. It felt like something he’d needed and not known. It quieted the demons tormenting him endlessly and focused his attention on the only thing that mattered right in that moment- the next rush of warmth chasing away the sting of leather. Rei was saying something, it sounded like praise and a description of what he planned to do to Python but he could not hear anything above the rush of his blood and the rhythm of his breath. Branding hands grabbed his hips and positioned him for another merciless blow and Python moaned and pushed back, seeking more. Rei’s sudden silence pushed Python out of his head so fast that he got dizzy with it. Everything assaulted him at once, the feel of air, the warmth of his abused skin, the soft and somewhat awed caress that he could feel on his arched spine.

  “Wha-?”

  “Shh. I think you were going into subspace. This is not really the right place for that, you know?”

  Rei winked to soothe the refusal to go any further and Python nodded wordlessly and frankly a bit scared of how fast he’d totally submitted in front of this man. Mate or no mate. He was more than shaken. He was scared.

  “You were so hot you almost made me blew my load just watching you. You think I can make you moan like that on my cock? Oh, gods, please yes.”

  The returned
tension and awkwardness melted away as Python watched over his shoulder Rei’s flushed face going slack at the idea and his even redder cock dripping with precum. He unconsciously licked his lips staring at that and Rei groaned, his weeping cock twitching while Python eye-dared him to give him more. He needed more. More before he was left with nothing.

  “Later, you bad boy. Later, with a bed nearby and some cream that I can use to soothe your glowing ass after I’ve had my way with it. And that is a promise. For now if I don’t get inside you soon-”

  “And you are waiting for what? A written invitation? Or a map?”

  Python’s words came across a bit snide and Rei threw him a meaningful look before he got straight to business and spread Python on two of his fingers, lubed with gods’ knew what. A thud clarified that as Python saw a tube of hand cream next to his head, thrown there by Rei. He got a third finger almost right away and it hurt a bit. It hurt so good. Rei laugh was short and delighted as Python moaned and pushed back, fucking himself on the fingers spearing him. His asshole twitched and greedily begged for more. Rei more than delivered when his fourth finger slowly massaged his ring before steadily pushed inside. The stretch was all consuming and so, so right.

  “That’s it. This. Python, you look amazing. You. Gorgeous. I need in there. I cannot wait. In.”

  Python keen of frustration when Rei pulled his fingers away was loud and startled both of them. Annoyance was Python’s default reaction so he just frowned over his shoulder, ignoring Rei’ smoldering look and the way the guy looked at Python. He could not make more out of this that it was.

  “You have a pen? I can start drawing on that map.”

  “Smartass.”

  A smartass that got a glorious slap on his flank for his trouble. More than worth it.

  “Well you do seem to have lost your waaaay!”

  He shouted, not prepared for the sudden invasion. Python had never bottomed before, not that he will ever tell that to anybody. The least of all to his mate, currently taking him with fast, sharp, brutal strokes. He’d thought he’d like it. He’d thought he’ll take the pain and it’ll be like with the lashes, pain morphing in ecstasy as it lit up his body. Boy, he’d been wrong. But he’d sassed and begged for exactly this so he gritted his teeth and when the urge to pull back and get away got too strong, he was stopped by the seat he was leaning on. Rei groaned and pushed down on him, roughly pulling his hips to him at the same time. Python shouted again, the feeling of fullness to much even after his ass had started to get used to being forced open.

  “Stick that ass up here. God, you are so tight, squeezing around me like this… God!”

  Some shuffling behind him and Python took a deep breath as Rei stopped thrusting for a moment. He was a bit disappointed but mostly relieved when his mate pulled out and away from his back. It lasted only for a moment, as he felt himself be maneuvered so Rei’s legs were now bracketing his ass.

  “Bring that ass up here, gorgeous. I have something for you!”

  The singsong voice only pissed off Python but he complied, still wanting this. He reminded himself that this was his mate, he had his mate inside him and it was- Shit, it hurt bad.

  “Open your hole for me… Yeah, yeah. You should see how it stretches… gorgeous...”

  “Motherfucker!”

  They both tensed and froze at the same time. Python leaned back on the seat, as far as he could go without separating them. It had hurt more going in the second time and he didn't want to try for a third. Hopefully, his mate would be close to coming and it’ll all end soon. As for Rei. Rei didn't seem to be moving or doing anything anymore.

  “Python, just how often do you usually do this?”

  “Really? You’re still talking?”

  He felt Rei pulling away again and Python quickly grabbed at one of his legs pulling him back harder than he’d planned. In doing so he just managed to get Rei fully inside in a long, vicious stab that had them both groaning. Python could bet it was for different reasons though.

  “Goddammit! Answer the bloody question!”

  “I don’t make a habit out of going ass up on the side of the road,” answered Python with an equally incensed voice. His reward for that was Rei slowly dragging his cock almost out before pushing back in, a long and slow determined stroke. It still felt uncomfortable but his ass probably was getting used to it, because it didn't hurt. It… made him twitch and spasm around the rod spreading him open.

  “That. Is Not. An answer.”

  Rei punctuated his words with short jabs, angled somewhat upwards and Python groaned again as his vision whitened and he got the meaning of the phrase seeing stars.

  “Shit! Gods! What the hell was that?”

  “I guess that answers my question. You moronic moron. Why do you always have to make things so difficult and complicated?”

  “Why do you always talk so much? Do that again, you fucker! And shut up already!”

  “Hmm,” hummed Rei. “Maybe I will, maybe I won't.”

  Rei’s next thrust was right on target and this time Python pushed back on his mate’s cock, his body pressing close for more without his permission. Now this was worth it all. His skin was slick with sweat and the sound when they smacked together was dirty and erotic, driving Python crazy. They got into a rhythm from one push to another and Rei’s hands found a resting place on Python’s chest, teasingly tormenting the nipples while he clutched at Python’s tense body. He shushed when Python twitched at a surprisingly deep stroke, fingers plucking again his nipples, cock driving relentlessly in and out, carefully, slower but still sharp and determined.

  “You should have told me.”

  Python’s vocal cords were not working for anything else but moaning and groaning, sporadically spaced with an incoherent word here and there.

  “Feel this? Feel how good it is? This is what I want to give you. Idiot.”

  Even the insult sounded strangely fond and Python tensed at the feelings coursing through him. Tensing had unforeseen results, mainly Rei cursing and a longer thrust that made both of them groan loudly. It couldn't last. Python was to primed, the sensations too new and strong to contain his reaction for long. It felt like Rei was branding him from the inside, like he was powerless at the same time as invincible. Not to mention his body was strung so tight, his belly coiled with heat and his balls close to falling off. He pushed back and met every thrust head on, slick and slippery, chasing his orgasm as Rei drove him mad with the slow pace and tender caresses he made sure to bestow on his shoulders, the arch of his spine, his flexing buttocks that spread wantonly for the cock fucking him. He averted his face as Rei blanketed his back and pushed down on him, reaching to kiss him and Python gave him the side of his neck instead. Not much better, as Python found the back of his ear was a particular maddening spot that made him feel like his skin was stretched too thin and oversensitive. Breathless, he tried something he’d only read in porn- not that he read things like that, nop- and he focused on contracting on the dick pummeling him. The reaction Python got would have pulled a satisfied smirk from him if the next stroke hadn’t pushed straight on his prostate. They both shouted and lost their rhythm, pushing and pulling, racing to the finish line in an uncoordinated dance of animalistic sounds and too much pleasure to withstand. Python’s orgasm got triggered with the feeling of warmth released inside him, the arms holding him close and Rei’s last slow, deep thrusts. He collapsed on the seat, body pliant and reluctant to move from under his mate’s inert weight. For a moment he just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being happy, without a care in the world. Belonging somewhere. With someone.

  It wasn't meant to last. Nothing this good ever did.

  Kitagawa was a very resourceful man. A strategic genius really. Rei had never expected him to track them down so fast and even if he’d have managed, he’d never thought Kitagawa will have the guts to go against half the Indian Pantheon. Well, he wasn’t but for sure he could go against Rei, apparently. Da
mn Python for getting caught, stupid ass Rei for having left most of his weapons home because off course nothing could happen when he was only shopping in the early morning in sleepy, quiet Boston. Except something was happening. He was currently facing a madman holding a knife gleaming with swirly energy pointed straight to Python’s heart and Rei really really hated how it made him feel. The stupid ass had jumped in front of Rei and pushed him aside as they had been ambushed when getting dressed but Kitagawa hadn’t seem displeased by missing his seemingly original target, Rei. Nah, the dude looked as if all the Christmases had come early and he’d been a really good boy. Which was really doubtful so Rei knew instantly that things had gone exactly according to plan for Kitagawa and the tricked-up dagger had been especially brought for Python and not the very human Rei. He really was a moron for forgetting his training and getting so distracted. Python was an idiot too so yeah, Rei could see how they could fit as mates. He could bet that Kitagawa saw it too, knew that and much more. And wasn’t that interesting considering few knew. Someone else had to have babbled to the insane creepy dude.

  “Let me guess. You’ll kill him if I don’t deliver Johnny.”

  “Who? Don’t be stupid, this is about that blasted kappa. I don’t care about your Johnny or whatever.”

  Kitagawa’s speech was not so formal anymore. His hair was messy, eyes sunken and blood red and he seemed to be wearing the same clothes Rei had seen him in the last time. His skin was more than thin, more than stretched upon angular, grotesque bones; it could have been called translucent almost if not for the cadaverous pallor of it. He was looking at a corpse, Rei brusquely realized and it made sense considering Kitagawa needed a kappa’s magic to stay alive, had used it so far to stay alive for as long as he’d been. He was a hundred years or so overdue on dying. An animal was most dangerous when he was cornered, valid for Kitagawa now, unfortunately for Rei too. He had too much to lose. He refused to lose anyone. He for sure won’t deliver Johnny to this monster.
