You sit on the cold, unforgiving ground, your legs crossed awkwardly beneath you as you stare intently at the small jar before you. The liquid inside shimmers faintly in the dim light, and you can't help but scowl as you blink at it, convinced it looks suspiciously like water.
"Are you sure it's not just water?" you call out, your voice echoing slightly in the stillness. You don't even bother to glance at the large dragon a few meters away behind you. You know he is there. His presence fills the cave even when he says and does nothing.
The male huffs in response. "Do you really think someone would dare to scam me?" His voice rumbles like distant thunder.
You shrug, feeling a mixture of uncertainty and defiance. "Well, everyone can be stupid at least once," you reason.
"Sure they can," Diman scoffs again.
A moment of silence stretches between you before you break it again. "And what if something goes wrong?" you ask. "I don't want you to get hurt just because-"
When your sentence trails off and you glance at him over your shoulder, Diman's large mouth splits into a wolfish grin. His sharp teeth gleam under the candlelight's orange glow. "Just because you want my cock?" The teasing lilt in his voice sends a rush of warmth through you.
You've lived with Diman for almost a year now, and in that time, he's pushed you to the brink of ecstasy more times than you can count. Some days, it's almost a competition to him to see just how many times you can reach your climax, yet, despite the familiarity of his teasing, you still feel your cheeks heat up at his words.
"Come now," he purrs. His voice is smooth as silk and dripping with playful seduction. "You can't tell me that you don't want it."
You can't deny the truth in his words. The longing that has built inside you each day has become maddening. No matter how close you feel to Diman, there's an unmistakable barrier created by the vast difference in size between you.
"Of course I want it," you reply steadily despite the flutter of nerves in your stomach. "I want you, but not at all costs."
You hear him rising to his feet, the powerful thud of his clawed paws against the ground reverberating through the silence. He moves gracefully, as if the weight of his massive body is a mere afterthought, and settles down beside you with a gentle thump that stirs the earth beneath you. His head lowers, resting next to your body, and you can't help but admire the contrast between his imposing form and your own.
Diman's large eyes soften as he gazes at you, a flicker of understanding shining in the depths of his golden irises. He leans into your offered hand, rubbing his nose against your palm, the warmth of his breath sending shivers up your arm. "It's safe," he assures you, his voice deep and reassuring. "The worst that can happen is nothing." There's a calm certainty in his words that soothes your worries, but still, a part of you hesitates.
"And what if you stay that size? What then?"
His expression shifts to teasing in an instant, that signature glint returning to his eyes. "What? You won't love me anymore?" He laughs.
You elbow him playfully, though you can't shake the feeling that he feels it less than you do. "I don't want you to change. Would you really be happy if you stayed my size?" The question hangs in the air, heavy with the weight of unspoken truths.
Diman's large mouth opens, and for a moment, it seems he's ready to respond, but then his voice falters, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features.
"See?" you point out, a small smile playing on your lips. "You would hate it. You like being this scary dragon who can burn down anything." The words come out more playful than accusatory.
He locks his gaze with you, a knowing look passing between you. "You love that too," he counters. "And my offer still stands."
"You won't burn down my ex-village," you tell him firmly, your brow furrowing slightly. The thought of it doesn't stir any deep feelings within you; the village holds no charm or attachment. They had cast you aside, throwing you into the dragon's arms as if your life were a mere game, an expendable pawn in their fears. Even though Diman is the best thing that ever happened to you, the villagers didn't know that. They had always seen him as a monstrous threat, and now, they likely think you already died at his claws. You are sure they had already forgotten you even existed.
He huffs in mock disappointment, but you can see the spark of mischief in his eyes as he glances back at the small vial still sitting on the ground. The shimmering liquid inside catches the light, glinting like a treasure waiting to be uncovered.
"So?" he asks, tilting his head slightly. "Do you want me to drink it?"
"You won't leave me alone until I say yes anyway," you reply, attempting to suppress the flicker of worry that still lingers in the back of your mind.
"You're right," he nods, his golden eyes alight with mischief. Stubborn as ever, and not even trying to hide it.
You sigh, relenting. "Then drink it."
Diman gives a satisfied rumble, rising to his feet and approaching the small vial on the ground with a careful slowness. He lowers his massive snout until it hovers just above the tiny glass container, his eyes narrowing with annoyance.
Then, after a long pause, he glances up. "Could you... open it?"
