He ignored my last statement and rose from the bed, then walked to the door. He opened it and there was another man standing on the other side. “Thank you for coming,” Ara said. If I did not know vampires had excellent hearing, I would have been surprised by how he knew the man was waiting outside of his room.
“My king sent me, as you requested,” the man said. I couldn’t quite pinpoint his accent. It wasn’t from any land I could recognize. However, it was exotic, beautiful even, and seductive in its cadence and tone. Just the sound of the words leaving his mouth did things to my body that always made the fire rise within me.
“Come,” Ara said.
“I plan to,” the other man said, then he entered as Ara stepped aside.
That was when I saw him fully. By all that was holy, he was absolutely breathtaking and one of the most beautiful men I had ever come across. He had the greenest eyes I had ever seen, like the leaves of a tree or an emerald in the finest jewelry. And his black hair looked like silk and I wondered if it felt as soft and lustrous. Both he and Ara had me enchanted by their appearances. They were unnatural in their beauty. The new man who had entered was wearing a gold tunic, linen trousers, and gold sandals. His tunic was pinned at the shoulder with a large ruby that sparkled in the candle light. He had four gold and jeweled rings adorning his fingers, two on each hand, and gold earrings in both ears. I had never seen such finery.
“Besides, I had to see this with my own eyes,” the man said.
“Behold him,” Ara declared, gesturing towards me.
The new man turned and looked at me. “My, my, my… he is a specimen. Quite fetching.” He inhaled deeply, eyes closing as if in rapture. He released a long, shuddering moan. “Mmmm, a virgin… ahhhhhh.” He licked his lips as if he were tasting something succulent in the air. “And this one is quite ripe.”
Ara chuckled under his breath. “Yes, I thought you would like that. I need you to bring him into his powers. As a dragon Knight, Tylendel, I know you have the ability to do so.”
So that was his name, Tylendel. It was unusual, to say the least, but seemed very fitting. There was something about him I felt drawn to. I didn’t know why, but I wanted him in ways the Church would not approve of. As much as I tried to push those thoughts from my mind, they kept pushing back. I could feel my cock stirring between my legs, pressing against my leather loincloth.
Tylendel nodded. “Indeed I do, and this young dragon is well overdue. By the looks of it, and from what I am sensing, his desires are rampant. I am looking forward to this ritual.” He turned to Ara. “It must be killing you that my cock will be the first he is to experience.”
“I know how to make sacrifices for what I want,” Ara said. “Now, are you sure that you can bring him into his powers?”
Tylendel nodded. “I can sense his dragon blood flowing through his veins. He is one of us, but only one half of him. The other half is clearly human. Therefore, you should be able toembracehim once I am done with hisRite of Passage.”
“Good. Let us begin, there is no time like the present,” Ara said.
I started to feel panic replacing intrigue and lust as they both approached me. I looked up at them, one was standing on either side of the bed as they gazed down at me with unmistakable desire in their eyes. Oh no! I could not let this happen. This was strictly forbidden!
“Do not touch me!” I yelled as I thrashed on the bed.
Tylendel laughed. “He is fierce, I see.”
“That is but one of his qualities that has drawn me to him,” Ara said.
The last thing I wanted to do was make myself more appealing to these monsters, but I really didn’t want them to think I was weak. I had to fight.
“Well, he does not need these garments,” Tylendel stated, then he began to undress me, ripping my clothing from my body until he had stripped me down to my chastity garment. He snorted. “What is this… monstrosity?” He reached for the lock that kept the undergarment in place and wiggled it.
Ara shook his head. “It is how they kept him under their control. With that and lies.”
“When did they put this on you?” Tylendel asked me.
“I will not answer to you, filth!” I said, then I worked up saliva in my mouth and spat at him.
He didn’t move, but instead let my spittle land on his clothing. He looked down at it, then smiled. “I could play such games of debauchery with you, young half-dragon. Perhaps I will, if your Father would allow it.”
“Priorities, Tylendel,” Ara reminded him. “As to the garment, they shackled it to him when they discovered him stroking his cock at three years old. Convinced him it was a sin to take such pleasures.” He said the words with so much contempt, as if he could spit them on the floor, then step on them.
“I doubt he was aware of what he was doing at such a young age,” Tylendel said. “Probably just discovering his cock for the first time.”
Ara snorted. “I’m sure, but they panicked because they knew he was half-dragon. They forbade him to ever touch himself again.”
“Perhaps it was for the best. Full-blooded dragons do not get such urges until it is time for theirRite of Passage. With this one being half human, those urges, no doubt, came to him sooner.” The one called Tylendel looked down at me with what seemed like admiration. “I respect his fortitude. The need to feed, to be whole, must have been maddening. To have those urges, and yet be constantly unrequited. Truly torture for any dragon. It is good that you are only half and had not undergone the ritual.”
Half-dragon? Full-dragon? What was a dragon?
“Questions you will soon have answers to, my boy,” Ara said, then he returned his attention back to Tylendel, who was looking at him with one eyebrow cocked. “Dragons are foreign to him. Like I said, the Church kept him ignorant. However, his fortitude is just one of his many attributes that will make him great.”
