"Care to get cleaned up before Pax comes looking for--?" Tanerax asked, slipping into
the hot water.
"Too late," said the tall purple and blue dragon from above them. She looked down on the post-orgasmic sheep and dragon over the top of a cypress tree. Her head was dark purple, with white scales freckling from nose to cheeks. The ridges on her head were more pronounced than Tan's, and shifted to blue as they curved away from her face. "I saw everything."
The color of her scales, along with the black leather shorts and vest she wore, had helped her merge into the shadows between the trees and the wall of the building surrounding the courtyard. To Floof, it made Pax's lanky form seem materialize from nothingness, just to leer at him and Tan.
Tan's red and black stripes seemed to darken. "You snooping brat! What are you doing up there?" She growled.
Sitting on the bench in the afternoon light, Floofencorn's wool had started to dry and puff up around him like inter-mingled primary colored clouds--at the very moment he wanted to get smaller.
The tension between the two dragons was giving the instinctive voice at the back of his mind another reason to scream "run away." This time he didn't have a reason, like sex, to shut it up.
Tanerax glared up at Pax. She had probably finished collecting the black walnut pods in no time and came looking for the two of them. At least she hadn't interrupted their fucking. A smile crossed Tan's face. Floof had been fun to fuck.
"That looked like a lot of fun." Pax jumped off the roof, gliding over her host and partner to the other side of the pool. She landed on a large boulder, crouching on hands and feet like some kind of gremlin and leered at Tan. A spike of envy poked her. These two were not fucking while she was collecting nuts!
Tan had lowered herself so only her head and wing tips were above the water. "You are the one who flew off in a fit of boredom. I guess I got lucky."
The two dragons glared at each other across the pool. With Pax actually sitting still, Floof was able to get a better look at her. Purple and blue scales swirled around each other. Every so often a singular white scale twinkled like a star shining through a nebula.
The dragons' energy, irritated on Pax's part, smug on Tan's, clashed with the serenity Flufencorn tried to create in his tree-lined courtyard. He was too scared to tell these two dragons they needed to change their behavior.
Pax spun on her rocky perch to grin at Floof. So sudden was this turn that he bleated in fear and nearly rolled off the bench. "What do you say, Hoofy-corn, can I have a ride next?"
"Pax," Tan sighed, "You are a guest here, eh? Didn't you offer services for room and board?"
Turning her head to look at Tan, Pax replied, "I gathered his nuts for him. I'm sure I could offer other services." She looked back at Floof. "What do you say, Capitan? Want to see how good a guest I can be?"
Tanerax sculled across the pool. Of course Pax had chosen the largest boulder at the pool's edge as her perch. "Paxdroth, I am also his guest here, eh? As well as his caregiver until he recovers. Let the poor boy rest" As soft as she was talking, Floof could hear the command in her voice. He wondered if he'd run out of adrenaline, the impulse to run away was fading. Curiosity to see what happened next was replacing it.
Pax knew she was pushing limits. Tanerax was trying to sound reasonable. She wasn't sure about her host, but that last bleat was definitely fear. Still...
"I can be a very good guest. What do you say, let me show you? Tongue to tail, I'm very capable." Pax stood on her boulder and reached back to undo the knot over her tail that kept her shorts up. Pax stepped out of them, standing before Floof in only vest and briefs.
Tanerax leaped out of the water and hauled the taller, more slender, dragon into the pool by her tail. Pax came up spitting water and indignation. The red and black dragon bent her over the edge of the pool, one hand still on Pax's tail, the other pressing between her wings.
"He should not be exerting himself. I'm happy to help demonstrate how capable you are, however." Tanerax looked at Flufencorn, "if that is not too taxing for our host, eh?"
Floof did not know how to respond. This person who had been so careful, even at her most dominant, was treating her traveling partner like a very bratty pet. He stared at the two dragons in surprise. Tan waited for him to respond, an enquiring look on her face as she held Pax bent on the pool's edge. An awkward silence stretched out, Floof felt completely out of his depth, until Pax raised her head. She winked at him, a broad grin on her face.
"Oh! Yes." The sheep coughed and cleared his throat. "Yes. I would appreciate a demonstration. If you would... direct it, Tanerax?"
Pax looked back at Tanerax and stuck her serpentine tongue out at the same time the red and black dragon purred, "Oh now, that's great to hear."
To Floof, it seemed like each dragons' colors became more vivid. The border between Tan's red and black stripes seemed to sharpen. Pax's nebulae swirls gained more stars. Had this happened while he and Tan had been fucking?
"Does the brat dragon feel good about being right?" Tan asked sweetly, then dropped her voice to a growl, "You still scared our host."
The red dragon grabbed one of Pax's head ridges and sharply pulled it back, emphasizing her distaste for Pax's behavior. Tan leaned over, so her mouth was next to the purple dragon's ear, and made eye contact with Floof. "Apologize," She growled.
"No!" Pax replied with a puff of smoke.
