Dancing with the Dragon
Chapter 8: Brothers
by Tripp Savidge

"Beautiful isn't he?" Jerrick asked.

"Yeah, he is," Skye said with a sigh.

"You know he could have been your twin when you were brought on board.
Now, you resemble each other but no one will mistake you for him."

Jerrick had begun the process of waking up River as soon as the Psion
issue was resolved. The Black Phoenix was back in hyperspace, headed for
Draga. The Protectorate Patrol's Black Falcon and the Triton were dealing
with the other survivors and the disabled ship. Skye stood next to the
bed looking down at his sleeping brother and smiled. He was so excited at
having River back with him and secretly he was enjoying the chance to
admire his brother's naked body without any fear of being 'caught'.

While River was beautiful he was pleased with the changes in his own
body. He'd grown almost four inches and had fitness model's muscles and a
defined eight pack. His hair was still a bit awkward but when he'd asked
about getting it cut the reaction from Garrett was awful. You'd think I'd
asked to cut off my arm.

Skye ran his hand down River's smooth, soft body, the almost perfect
light golden skin. His cock was hard and stood straight up. Jerrick said
it was common for anyone coming out of cryo to be aroused for the first
several hours. Skye gently touched it and realized that from this angle
it looked much larger. He knew by touch they were about the same size,
but to his eyes, River looked larger.

"Go ahead. Taste him. It's obvious you want to." Garrett's deep voice
sounded from behind.

"Garrett!"

"Skye get over it. You want to and you may need to do a lot more if you
want to help him adjust. He won't have a bonded right away, so you are
the next best thing. Personally I don't know how you can resist. His body
calls out to me just like yours."

Skye felt Garrett's lust as if it was his own. He tried to keep his
shields up but sometimes strong thoughts and emotions still leaked
through. Skye smacked down the screaming voice in his head and gripped
River's hard cock at the base and lowered his mouth over the top - taking
him in, tasting him, feeling the glans slide across his tongue. He tried
going all the way down and found there was just too much cock.

"Slowly Skye. You can do it."

"Skye moved around and ran his hands along the smooth thighs, pushing
them apart enough to see the balls and the crack leading to River's sweet
hole."

"Maybe we should get the sample before things get out of hand," Jerrick
offered.

"Yeah," Skye responded with a rasp.

"You feel it too Jerrick?" Garrett asked. "My body is responding to both
of them."

"Yeah, mine too," Jerrick said as he placed the collection cylinder in
Skye's hands.

Garrett reached out and took Skye's hand and placed the lubricant on his
fingers then guided Skye's hands up between River's legs.

Garrett lubed the hole and gently slid his finger in and then guided
Skye's hand in to take his place. "He's as cherry as you were Skye. Won't
take much, just a light touch, in and out gently and you only need one
finger for such a tight hole."

Skye slid the cylinder down on Skye's shaft and watched as it lit up and
hummed, knowing personally how good it felt. Too bad River wasn't awake
for it. His finger slid in and he enjoyed how warm and tight River was,
how smooth and soft his legs and ass felt around his hand, the pressure
of the balls weighing down on his wrist.

"He's done Skye, you can stop now," Jerrick said as he carefully removed
the collector.

"So soon?"

"Want to clean him up? Looks like there's some cum left on his shaft and
usually you can suck out a drop or two," Garrett encouraged.

Skye didn't even think before he went down on the hard cock and took it
deep in his mouth, savoring River's taste and sucking the last bits out
of him. "Would you like his cum?" Garrett asked.

"No, you take it. It will do much more for you and if it makes you horny
enough then I get yours - which is even better."

Jerrick made a few adjustments to the pod and closed the lid with a
click. "We'll run the scans and start the symbiotic implant. Garrett, do
you want to use the same protocols that you used on Skye?"

"Yes. While we don't know who his bond-mate is, given that he's Skye's
brother I think that would be best."

"Everything's set. He should wake up in about six hours."


*   Scene 2   *

Skye was trying to keep a low profile as everyone around him seemed to be
on edge. He sat at his console trying to research anything he could on
the Psions or the 'right to serve' and kept running into warning screens
telling him the information was restricted.

"Sir, priority one communication from Draga," Borget announced.

"From Fleet?" Garrett asked.

"No sir. Personal sir."

"Shit. That can't be good. Put it through to the briefing room, give me a
few to get there."

"Sir it is for you AND Jerrick," Borget said.

"Jerrick, looks like you get to join me. Skye, don't pick up any more
strays while we're gone," Garrett said with a wink. **It will be okay
Skye. Everyone is on edge from the Reapers - it has nothing to do with
you or our guest.**

**Thanks. I was a little worried.**

**We'll be back soon. I love you dragonling.**

**Love you too Garrett.**

Garrett and Jerrick knelt beside each other on the floor waiting for the
hologram to come through. The air in front of them blurred and then the
image formed of three men, Garrett's father, Argos, and Serat.

"Father, Pater, Serat. I am honored," Garrett said as he touched his
forehead to the floor.

"Garrett, Jerrick."

"Is everything well father? Has something happened?"

"We have news that you should hear and think on before your arrival on
Draga. We received Jerrick's tests of Skye."

Garrett's eyes went wide. "Is there something wrong? Is he okay?"

"Calm down Garrett and let your father finish," Argos said.

"Skye is healthy and he will be fine. His tests were very informative but
unusual. We would have communicated sooner but it took some research and
then you had the Psion issue. To come to the point, Skye is going to have
a dragon form - possibly very soon."

"But the odds are less than one in a million! And we just bonded, his
bond-mate changes should take years, decades!"

"We strongly believe based on the body changes and what we saw from
Skye's tests, that he has already completed most of the bond-mate related
changes, far more quickly than any other bonded on record. We have very
little precedence or records to understand a human's change to dragon;
however, if it is all like a dragonling, then he is only weeks away from
hitting his change," Serat explained.

"Garrett," his father began. "Skye's tests indicate that he will be a
Platinum."

"What? A Platinum? You said he'd be fine? That's not fucking fine?
They'll come after him! What are we going to do? Everyone knows it by
heart: 'Do not suffer the Platinum to live... the streets will flow with
the blood of his followers and he will bring war to our doorstep' how is
that fucking fine?"

Jerrick reached out and wrapped his arms around Garrett. "Calm down
Garrett, let them finish," he whispered.

"I did not raise a fool Garrett, quit speaking like one. And do not quote
petty rhymes at me, especially ones created by common rabble out of their
fear and ignorance. The Platinum dragons did not bring war to us, it was
thrust upon us by our enemies. They led us for eons with great success
and prosperity. The Platinum is the most powerful and beautiful of all
dragons. Before the war and throughout history they were revered. There
is a reason our enemies targeted them first."

 "I've researched as best I can in the short amount of time we've had and
have found four other cases of Platinums since the Great War, all in your
family's bloodline or bonded to one, but none have been on Draga. Most
were shortly after the great wars and they were killed out of fear before
coming fully into their dragon form. But what was recorded did match with
what you've experienced with Skye - the rapid body changes, increased
strength, body size, and growth, the unusually strong mind powers and the
sexual performance," Serat presented.

"But what do I do?"

"You will love him, care for him and help him with his powers just as
your father helped me. And you will help protect him from those who
fear," Argos replied.

"We have faith in you Garrett. You have the mind and temperament... and
appetite to deal with this. If it were Zopyros or Kleitos we might worry.
But we think you will flourish. And if you truly want to be certain, all
you have to do is remove the plasti-skin covering your bond-mark. Since
the changes are almost complete, it is likely the bond-mark has grown
enough to easily discern what type of dragon he is," his father said.

"Son, there is something else you must prepare for. If you weren't aware,
part of a Platinum's power is sex," Argos said softly.

"But that is so not Skye. He is so hesitant and fought the idea of being
with me or any other man. So you're saying he's going to be attracting
other lovers to our bed?"

"We don't know for sure - we're searching the histories to find whatever
we can, but it has been so long that it is buried. We will keep looking.
Just remember that we humans all have our own battles with bond-mate
adjustments - even without having a true dragon form. I fought my own
when the red dragon seemed at odds with who I thought I was. But once I
accepted that it was me, I was so much happier and content. We must all
help Skye accept himself and who he is meant to be. If he resists sex,
then his transition may be unusually stressful and difficult for him."

"Garrett, we also believe that the Psion you rescued may have already
picked up on Skye's change. No Psion has invoked the agreement since the
great wars and they only served with Platinums. We think this could be a
good thing as he may be able to help Skye with his new powers. He or
others of his kind may even know more than we do about his powers or
abilities. There are no Platinums to ask." His father paused and gave a
stern searching look at Garrett. "So Garrett, can you deal with this?"

"Yes sir. I would do anything for Skye."

"There's more. We haven't had much time for analysis but the initial take
on the data uploaded for River indicates he's almost identical to Skye's
base reading when he was brought on board."

"Meaning?" Jerrick asked.

"It is most likely that River will follow in the same path as Skye,
especially given his bond match. The odds are high that he will also be a
Platinum," Serat answered.

"Wait... his bond-mate? You already have a match? Who is it?" Garrett
asked.

"We cannot say. The match has not yet gained his dragon form. It would be
premature to announce he already has a bond-mate, especially when there
are older siblings, not yet matched," Garrett's father answered.

"But that means his match rate must be..."

"Almost one hundred percent. The same as yours and Skye's," Serat
answered.

"No... that could only be..." Garrett started before his father cut him
off.

"Garrett! I forbid you to even say it. We will not discuss River's bond-
match until it is appropriate."


Garrett couldn't help but note the look his pater gave his father and
guessed they were not of like mind.

"Remember you will also have to have your period of separation when you
arrive on Draga. That's four days that Skye will be without your
attention. As he gets closer to his change, his appetite will continue to
grow. It's also possible that being near Nikias, who is also close to his
dragon form, may bring on the change for both of them. If he started to
transition while you are separated... surely you remember your
transition?" Serat asked.

"Shit. We're already bonded, can't we skip the separation? It's a stupid
tradition anyway."

"Not if you want to uphold the ruse that you aren't bonded. And stupid or
not, we have to keep up appearances."

"Can Jerrick or Taleel stay with him?"

"Certainly, but Taleel is likely to have other responsibilities and
Jerrick, could you alone satisfy a dragonling going through the
transition?"

"No sir. I would be glad to give everything I had but no, I don't think
so."

"Your brothers have already requested we hire whores for Nik when he
reaches his change," Garrett's father added.

"No sir, you can't. Please don't cheapen his transition with whores.
Surely we can help him?"

"Your brothers do not share your passion or exuberance for sex Garrett.
For good or ill, Nik is already more than they can handle. He is very
much your brother," Argos laughed.

"But with me, Skye, and River after the ceremony - couldn't we together
meet their needs."

"Whoa... what about me and Taleel? You said we could stay with you and
Skye," Jerrick objected.

Garrett's father raised his eyebrows and a knowing look passed between
Argos and Serat. But Serat, his father's secretary was the one to speak.
"Yes, you could handle it and it is up to your father to decide whether
or not it would be acceptable and if Taleel and Jerrick could be excused
from their other duties. But you still must deal with the potential that
Skye and perhaps Nik will need attention prior to your bonding ceremony
that you cannot give."

"Yes sir. I understand and I really don't want Skye anywhere near Zo and
I'm afraid he may be too much for gentle Kleitos. He's a little too much
like me. If you know what I mean."

All three of them laughed. "Yes son, we know exactly what you mean and
that is why I am confident that you will thrive with this opportunity."

"That actually brings up our final caution son," Argos began. "You may
encounter some unexpected and awkward moments, especially once you bring
Skye and River into the presence of your brothers. We said Skye and River
were similar, they are actually so similar that we at first thought they
were identical twins. Obviously that is not the case but as you may have
already discovered in your time with River, dragon sense may not be able
to tell. To compound that, you and Nikias are also very alike-genetically
speaking."

"And while your other brothers do not have the same level of match, they
are still over 80%," his father added.

"Wow. That could get complicated even for a dragon."

"Which is why I reminded you of your separation period and Skye's
increasing appetite," Serat said.


*   Scene 3   *

Skye looked up as he heard the chime indicating Garrett had come on board
the bridge. Jerrick was with him and both were shielded tightly.
"Everything okay?"

"Yeah. Everything's fine, just some family stuff to deal with."

**You're lying, and given how tightly you and Jerrick are shielding I'm
guessing it has to do with me.**

Garrett turned as he sat at his console and waited while the chair
conformed and locked him in. "Please Skye - just trust me on this one and
let it go for now."

"Sure. Would it be okay if I visited our guest in the med lab? Seems like
I ought to at least check in on him." Skye didn't really want to let it
go and knew that if he stayed, he couldn't leave it alone.

"No problem."

Skye breathed a sigh of relief as he exited the bridge. Even shielding
the tension and negative energy was uncomfortable. He made his way to the
med lab and greeted Taku when he entered. "Our new guest doing any
better?"

Taku turned with a smile. "Yes sir. He is recovering well. Just resting
now - he's behind the partition."

Skye peered around the partition, briefly remembering that the last time
he was here, Corey and Devon were on the beds in this room. The Psion
seemed to be asleep and Skye was again taken with how much he looked like
a young boy, but so much healthier than the last time he saw him - but
still nowhere close to healed. He had medium blue skin with shiny black
hair that lay on the pillow like a halo. His body was slender but without
the blood, Skye could see he had very defined muscles and was quite fit.
A sheet covered his lower body but his upper body was quite attractive
and Skye wondered what his dark blue nipples would taste like.

"You could lick one to see," a soft voice answered.

Skye was caught in the dark eyes as they opened. The eyes were beautiful
with a large dark pupils surrounded by varying shades of blue that
sparkled in the light. Almost too large for the face making him look even
younger - but the expression wasn't young, Skye knew he'd never see that
kind of hunger on the boy the Psion appeared to be.

 "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you sir," Skye said automatically,
his face blushing in embarrassment.

"Don't be sorry. I'm glad you find me appealing. It makes things easier."

"Anymore it seems like I find anything with a dick attractive," Skye said
before he realized what came out of his mouth. "Sorry again. Didn't mean
that to come out."

"My turn to apologize. We have that effect on others, especially when we
first meet. Thank you for coming for me. I knew you would when I felt
your mind."

"Sorry but I can't take credit for that. The Commander picked up the
distress signal, I was just along for the ride."

"But you would have if the Commander's plans had been different. I was
quite surprised to find you when I reached out to the stars. Do you
remember?"

"Is that where the nightmare came from? I remember horrible, horrible
images of death and slaughter. I was beginning to think I made it up
after seeing the carnage on your ship."

"Yes, you must have pulled it from my mind when I called for help. You
need training you know? Your gift is beyond what most dragons can fathom
and their methods of shielding and control will not work well for you.
One more way in which I can serve you."

"But I don't have anything to offer you. I have no job, no income, no
possessions, no choice in where I go or what I do. I understand if you
want to offer service to the Commander, but I'm a nobody," Skye objected.

"Really?" the Psion answered and then Skye felt a fluttering in his mind
as though someone were turning the pages of a book, looking for
something. Images and memories coursed through his mind, when he was
brought on board, River, his conversations and lessons.

"You know it's not polite to sift through people's heads without their
permission," Skye said.

"You felt that? You knew what I was doing?"

"Duh. Yes. I could sense what you were doing - looking for what I knew."

"I've never known of anyone other than a Psion who could feel our touch.
I'm impressed. But also concerned. You know there is much your bond-mate
has not told you."

"Yeah, I have that feeling all the time. But so far he has told me what I
needed to know and has been there for me."

"Oh there is no question that he loves you and would do anything for you.
I just wonder if you are prepared for what is in store for you and your
brother."

"Why? What's going to happen to River?"

"Nothing is certain, but there will be many changes and it will likely go
well if you do what you need to do. I am convinced more than ever that I
must serve you. I will petition as soon as we reach Draga. You may call
me Kwill."

"Thank you Kwill but I still think you are making a mistake tying your
wagon to me."

"I need to sleep now but when your brother wakes, you should introduce
us. I may be able to help both of you."

Skye returned to his cabin and went to his bunk and curled up to think.
He hadn't been in the small cabin since he and Garrett bonded. It no
longer felt like it was his. He'd moved the clothing that fit into the
large cabin and only left behind what River could use. The meeting with
Kwill made him nervous and the whole encounter with River had filled him
with guilt. Not that he didn't enjoy what he'd done, just that he
couldn't convince himself that it wasn't wrong. And why does Garrett keep
pushing me that way? Skye thought and worried and then drifted off to
sleep.

He woke with a start as he heard someone enter the outer cabin. Someone
tapped at his door and he got up and released the lock. Jerrick was there
and still shielding tightly.

"Time to check on River. He should be coming awake shortly."

"Jerrick, before we go down can you please answer me as best you can -
why is Garrett pushing for me to be with River?"

"It isn't a big deal for us Skye so it's hard to understand your
reluctance. Yes it is important and it's so complicated I don't even
understand all the moving parts. It's not meant to be a secret so much as
there's almost too much to explain and some of it won't make sense until
you experience it. Garrett and I agree that it is important enough that
if you don't we may use drugs to make it happen."

Skye gasped. "You're serious."

"Yes, very. What I can tell you is that part of it is because River can't
be joined with his bond-mate for a while and that complicates his
emotional adjustment. You were with Garrett from the first cycle you
woke. That's how it is supposed to work. You had his love and support and
were with your future partner from the start. Imagine how you would have
felt if he weren't with you, if you had to face it alone?"

"Are there therapists on Draga because after this I think I'm going to
need one?"

"We call them mind healers and you're already scheduled after we arrive."

Skye snorted. "Figures. Let's go."


*   Scene 4   *

Skye stood by the bedside and waited. The pod was already open and
Jerrick had made sure everything was in order before he retreated up the
ramp. Out of sight but nearby in case he was needed. Garrett was also
waiting above.

He watched River breathe and tried to still the voices in his head. He
loved his brother so much and would do whatever he had to do, but god was
it stretching his comfort zone. "River can you hear me?"

"Go away, I'm dreaming," River responded with a rasp. "It's such a good
dream, don't want to wake up."

"Really... and what are you dreaming?" Skye asked.

River chuckled. "Can't tell you big brother, it's a secret." But as he
said it Skye got a clear image and grabbed on to the side of the bed.
River was dreaming of having sex with Skye on the pool table in the
basement and at the moment, he was reliving the feeling of Skye sucking
his cock.

Skye heard Garrett laughing above. **Really Garrett, you had to be
listening in?**

**He broadcast that so clearly Jerrick and I both got it. And you were
worried? Seems like this isn't going to be near the challenge you
thought.**

"Come on River time to stop thinking about sex and wake up."

River's eyes flew open and he sat up staring at Skye.

"How did you... what the fuck happened to you?"

"Slow down. It's okay, you're fine. Please lie back down. You need to
take this slowly."

"How'd you know I was thinking about sex?"

"Short answer. I saw what you were thinking."

"Okay... who are you? You are not my brother. You sound like Skye but you
don't look like him and sure as hell don't act like him."

"What do you mean by that? I am too your brother. I'm Skye, honest and
what do you mean I don't look like me?"

"No way if my brother saw what I was thinking that he wouldn't be
spitting nails, gasping and calling me a heathen whore of Satan."

"That's a bit dramatic don't you think? Besides I've chilled a bit since
we last talked and I have never called anyone a whore of Satan."

"Wait... I remember. We were walking those two jerks back across campus.
I saw some dudes in strange sci-fi get-ups aiming guns at us then...
nothing."

"We were both shot - stunned, not hurt."

"Where am I and how long has it been?"

"It has been several months and you were in a cryo unit, in stasis, until
it was safe to wake you. Currently you are on board the Black Phoenix and
headed for the planet Draga for my bonding ceremony."

"You are truly fucked up. I'm going back to sleep until you can give me a
straight answer."

**Help?**

"He's telling you the truth," Garrett said as he sauntered down the ramp.

River sat up and looked at the man approaching. "Holy shit. And who are
you?"

"River this is Garrett D'Or Drakken my bond-mate, or in other words my
husband."

"Fuck, fuck, fuck. This is one totally messed up nightmare," River said
as he laid back down on the bed and covered his face with his hands.

"This is not going well. And when did you get such a potty mouth River?"

River roared in laughter. "Potty mouth? Shit, maybe you are Skye." He sat
up and swung his legs over the side then realized he was naked. "Uhm, can
I have a cover please?"

"You shouldn't cover such beauty," Garrett said with his best grin.

River blushed and draped the shirt over his lap that Skye handed him. He
reached up and touched Skye's hair pushing it behind his ear. "What
happened to you big brother? Not that you don't look awesome but you sure
don't look like the Skye I remember."

"Months without being able to cut my hair." He gave a pointed glare at
Garrett "and those same months working out every day with a trainer from
the pits of hell who believes that pain and suffering build strong
character. Oh, and for reasons I can only ascribe to bat shit
metaphysics, I grew several inches."

**I'm going to tell Taleel what you said,** Garrett teased.

"Damn. I thought you looked good before. And you and mister supermodel
here are really a thing?" River asked.

"Yeah."

"My homophobic brother is hooked up with another guy? Seriously?"

"I'm not homophobic. And I know it's complicated but before I start
explaining I have another confession to make."

River gave him a skeptical look. "Yeah?"

"You know that dream you had? I sort of caused that."

"Say again."

"When you were sedated, I went down on you and did things to you so we
could collect your semen and have it tested."

"You are not Skye."

"Yes I am. I felt terrible after but God River you are beautiful and you
tasted so good."

"My head is going to explode now. So you did it but felt bad about it but
really enjoyed it?"

"I think that's what I said."

"Yeah, that is definitely Skye talk."

"River I have missed you so much, can I please hug you. I promise I'll
answer all your questions."

"One condition."

"Sure."

"Next time you go down on me, make sure I'm awake for it."

"Next time?" Skye asked.

"Oh be sure big brother, there will be a next time."


*   Scene 5   *

Skye and River talked for hours and when Garrett returned to tell them it
was time to go for food, Skye had real empathy for him and how many
questions he had endured. Skye was also embarrassed at how many times
River asked really good and important questions and Skye had to admit
that he had no idea; but overall, he was feeling pretty good about the
situation since River seemed to be taking it much better than he had.

"You two alright with getting some food? Jerrick said River needs to eat
soon or he's going to start feeling sick."

"Yeah. That would be great." Skye stood up from where he and River had
been sitting on the floor next to the cryo pods and watched as Garrett
walked up the ramp. He enjoyed seeing the muscular ass and legs and how
they flexed as he walked. Skye turned to offer a hand to River and smiled
at the expression on his face. Not to mention the waves of lust coming
off of him.
"Damn Skye. He is so fine."

"Yeah, and I get to say he's mine."

"What did you do to get him? Any idea if the guy they find for me will be
that good looking?"

"Sorry, no clue. We can ask Garrett. Oh, and just so you know he can tell
that you were admiring his ass. I think the show was for you."

"Shit no. Can everyone read my fuckin' mind?"

"I don't think so. The dragons can sense emotions and strong thoughts but
they tell me I'm an anomaly. Unfortunately lust is one that seems to
transmit clearly."

"So will I get to meet the other dragons?"

"I'm sure and I'd really like to know what you think," Skye said as the
followed Garrett to the command staff's dining room. When they entered
Skye was surprised to find only Taleel and Jerrick in the room.

"Everyone else already ate, we waited to bring you in until there wasn't
a crowd. Thought it might be a little overwhelming otherwise," Garrett
said picking up on Skye's thought.

"River, this is Jerrick and Taleel, the other dragons I told you about,"
Skye introduced.

"Pleasure to meet you," River said hesitantly, stepping back a bit.

"I promise I am not nearly as scary or terrible as Skye has told you,"
Taleel laughed. "But Father Dragon guys, he looks so much like Skye it's
unnerving."

"Yeah, isn't it?" Jerrick said quietly.

"River, what they are not saying but thinking very loudly is that they
find you extremely attractive and are a bit put off by having both you
and Skye in the same room," Garrett said with a wink before guiding them
to the table and bringing them each plates of food. "Gentleman, please
sit down before you scare him more."

"But why? I don't get it," River asked as he looked up from the plate of
food.

"He even sounds and thinks like him," Taleel said in awe.

River gave Taleel his best glare. "Do not."

"Sex is a big part of dragon culture, actually it's a big part of most of
the universe outside of human colonies, and we are biologically triggered
by humans who have a compatible DNA. Yours and Skye's are almost
identical and happen to match well with all three of us. Since we have
also all been intimate with Skye, our bodies recognize you as being very
similar and likely to provide very similar... uhm experiences."

"That's sort of cool and creepy at the same time."

"River, may I ask... are you attracted to men or women or both?" Jerrick
asked with a serious expression.

"Both, but much more to men," River said then saw Skye's expression.
"What? So at least I admit it. You still pretending you don't?"

"No. Just I never realized and it still makes me a little uncomfortable
to talk about."

"So Garrett, can you tell me what my dude's going to look like? Do you
know yet? Do all dragons look as good as you three?"

"No, can't tell you yet what your bond-mate looks like and no, not all
dragons look like us. We come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. We're a
little more fit than many given we're in the military and have to stay in
shape to survive."

Skye tried to look at Garrett without being obvious. His answer was a lie
but he wasn't exactly sure which piece was false. Has to be the bond-mate
part, Jerrick and Taleel had both told him they were considered above
average in looks when he'd asked the same question.
"So what am I supposed to do until you find one?"

"Starting after your first sleep cycle, you'll spend the first half of
the day with Jerrick who will continue your education then after midday
meal you train with Taleel. The time after evening meal is your own."

"Garrett, it would be good if you started doing the partner training with
Skye. If you trained with him then I could focus on bringing River up to
speed. Skye and I have been doing partner work for a while and I think it
would be a natural fit with you."

"Have any video games for our off-time?" River asked.

"Not with us, no. But I can see if we can get clearance for you to use
the simulators. They're very similar but are used to train soldiers and
pilots," Taleel offered.

"Taleel, why not have Skye and River do the joint simulations if you get
clearance. Might distract both of them," Jerrick suggested. "How are you
feeling River?"

"To be honest, a little shaky and light headed."

"That's to be expected. Once you have a couple meals in you and a good
sleep you'll start to feel better. If Skye didn't warn you already,
you'll also feel a bit more horny than usual. Very normal I promise."

"Got any porn to jack-off to?" River asked bluntly.

Skye coughed and choked and the others just smiled.

"Not really. We could load some next time we're near a port, but you'd
have no shortage of volunteers to strip for you if you asked. You
shouldn't ever have to do things for yourself River unless that's your
preference. I guarantee there is always someone willing to help you out,
not just the men in this room either."

"You're shittin' me... right?"

"No, I'm very serious. You just have to let the other person know you're
interested."

"Damn! And you swear this isn't a dream? I'm not gonna' wake up and find
it was all a cruel lie to get my hopes up?"

Garrett, Jerrick, and Taleel roared in laughter while Skye snickered.


*   Scene 6   *

Garrett gave River and Skye a tour of the ship before he brought them
back to the cabin. "I'll bunk with Jerrick, give you two some more time
to reconnect," Garrett said before stepping into the bathroom. When he
came out he set one of the collection bowls on the counter and opened the
cupboard to remove the small box he had shown Skye their first night.
Skye looked into the bowl and saw the bottom had a small amount of clear
fluid.

Skye looked at Garrett. **And that is for?**

Garrett laughed out loud. **You know damn well. Apply a little to River
and his ass will open up like magic.**

**I'm not sure I can.**

**He's scared of us Skye. Can't you feel it? You need to be the one to
help him and besides you know he's interested and wants to. Believe me,
if he'd let me I'd take him in a heartbeat.**

"Excuse me but are you two having a conversation? Just because you're not
whispering doesn't make it more polite," River said.

"Sorry River. Just trying to convince your brother that he needs to take
care of you in whatever way you need," Garrett said with a wink as he
headed to the door.

River looked at Skye the question clearly on his face.

"Like I told you, dragons don't have the same culture or moral codes that
we do. They truly can't understand why I would hesitate at having sex
with such a beautiful man."

"Me? They really think I'm beautiful, when they look like they stepped
off some high-class model shoot?" River shook his head in disbelief. "So
was it scary and difficult for you at first?" River asked.

"Scary yes, but Garrett was there from the beginning and it was pretty
fantastic - not that I didn't fight it," Skye said with a laugh. "To be
honest River, I'm scared most days. What is scaring you?"

"The future, the sex, the what's going to happen to me, what if I don't
like my bond-mate, what if he's gross or ugly, what am I going to do with
the rest of my life? You know those things."

"I don't have answers but we'll figure it out. I can't tell for sure but
I think Garrett does know who your bond-mate is. I'll see what I can find
out. What about the sex scares you? You seem a lot surer about what you
want than I did."

"They are all so beautiful, big, muscled, and experienced. You remember
Benny? He and I have been messing around for a while, touching, jacking
off, some piss-poor blowjobs but that's it. We tried... you know... but
it hurt like hell and I just couldn't let him in. I tried his ass and
same thing - I thought I'd break my dick if I pushed harder."

Skye couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, it's not funny but I know what you
mean. I didn't really have a choice. But it may also have been easier
since it was with my bond-mate and I couldn't say no or even think about
resisting. When he kissed me, I was totally lost and would have let him
do anything he wanted. So when you find your bond-mate I think he'll be
perfect for you. Until then, what do you want? I know any of them would
be very gentle and help you. They are all exceptional and they are all
really battling serious lust for you. Garrett said that even though we
are bonded the attraction to guys who are a close match never goes away.
It tells them they'd be great lovers."

"So does it go both ways? Would it be good for me too?"

"Better than you can imagine."

"I don't know about that. I have a great imagination. It's just I feel
like they'd eat me alive. Benny and I tried stuff but we didn't get that
far and to be honest it was real awkward. Skye, I know you don't want to
hear this and I know if freaks you out. But what I want more than
anything is you. I have for so long and now when I see you, my heart
races and all I can think about is how much I want to see those muscles
and what you've done to your body."

Sky glanced over at the box and bowl and made his decision. "Why don't
you get cleaned up? You haven't had a chance since you woke up and it
will make you feel better. Not as good as a water shower, but it works.
I'll show you how to operate the cleansing unit - it has a few
attachments that will be new to you."

He got River set up and picked up the clothing on the floor, folded it
and put it in the smaller cabin. He checked around and made sure
everything was in order then went to the bedroom and adjusted the lights.
He flipped through Garrett's music selection and set a playlist - one
with a hard driving beat - perfect for sex and passion. Skye walked over
and picked up the box, opened it and took out one of the dragon berries
and put it in his mouth. He savored the taste and swallowed - then picked
up the bowl and took it in to the night stand. He slid off his boots,
pulled off the socks then stripped off the shirt and pants before pulling
the cover back on the bed. He stood in the doorway and waited for River.

River stepped out of the bathroom obviously looking for his clothes and
then when he looked up and saw Skye the reaction was worth it. His eyes
went wide and his mouth dropped open. "My god Skye, you look like one of
them. You have an eight-pack! Damn."

"Would you like to join me?"

"Really? You mean it?"

"Yeah River... I mean it."

River walked over to Skye, standing just inches away. "We were the same
height and now..."

Skye stopped him with a kiss as he bent down and pulled River's body
against him. He tasted the soft lips and enjoyed the feel of the warm
flesh up against his own. Inwardly he smiled as he felt River grow hard
and aroused against him. He kissed with passion, using his tongue to
explore and taste the inside of River's mouth, as he captured the feel,
taste, and texture of his tongue.

River let out a small whimper and Skye pulled back and looked into his
eyes.

"Holy fuck, Skye. I didn't know kissing could be like that."

Skye chose not to answer but to kiss him again as his hands started to
touch and explore. He felt down River's back, the smooth soft skin and
the channel that ran down his spine, all the way to the round globes of
his ass. He felt and squeezed the cheeks. Skye lowered his shields and
tried wrapping his mind around River's. He tried to replicate what he'd
done with Taleel and Jerrick. At first it seemed fuzzy and all he sensed
was lust and then it unfolded before him and he knew River's wants and
needs, the desire he held for Skye and the roadmap to his body was clear.

**Skye... can you please shiel...** the voice interrupted and Skye
ignored it, pushing it away. He could tell that Garrett was with Jerrick
and knew if he tried he could pick up on what Garrett was feeling but he
wanted to focus on Skye so pushed that away as well. He released River
from the kiss and led him to the bed. He picked up the dragon fruit and
fed it to River then followed with a kiss. He pushed River back onto the
bed and spread his legs wide. He ran his hands up the inside of River's
legs, up to this thighs and felt the muscle and the slight tremble. He
looked at the hard cock and the heavy balls and gently lifted them,
rolling them through his fingers before he ran his finger up the thick
hard shaft and smiled as River made a small squeak and his eyes went
wide.

"Don't be nervous River. I promise you are going to enjoy it - no pain,
just relax," Skye said as he moved up and kissed River again then started
kissing down his chest and stomach. He stopped and circled each nipple
with his tongue before sucking gently then moved down to his stomach
enjoying how River's body quivered at his touch. He gently took the hard
cock in his mouth and slid down watching River's face. His eyes were
still wide and his breathing was rapid. He rolled the glans on his tongue
and enjoyed the taste and feel of the thick cock sliding into his throat.
He ran his hands up River's body as he sucked, caressing and touching
then focused on River's nipples and pulled and teased as he took the dick
hard and fast.

"Slow down Skye. You're going to make me cum and it's too soon. I want to
enjoy this... oh wow." River ended as he threw his head back. Skye had
moved one hand under his balls and started teasing the delicate hole.
Skye knew River was very close... he savored the taste of his pre-cum and
as River reached the point of no return he wrapped both arms around
River's thighs and held him tight as he sucked harder.

"You gotta stop Skye... can't hold back," River begged.

Skye continued and growled as he felt River cross the line and prepared
for the eruption. It filled his mouth and he continued to suck, even as
River cried out and tried to pull away. He held the hot cum in his mouth
and savored it running it across his tongue, tasting and enjoying the
texture before he swallowed and took the cock deep again. He held tightly
as River tried to escape his mouth and he sucked up and down on the hard
cock.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Please... Skye... too intense... please..."

Skye gently released the cock, licking it thoroughly as he also released
his grip on River's thighs. "You taste really good River."

"Damn Sky. It sure wasn't like that with Benny. But why'd you bring me so
fast? I wanted to enjoy it."

"You can cum again. I just took the edge off," Skye said as he started
kissing up River's body, licking and teasing as he went.

River pushed Sky back and rolled over so he was on top and now Skye was
lying on his back looking up at his younger brother. "That was
incredible. You have to teach me... I want to do that for you."

Skye let River take control - knowing this was what he needed and wanted
to do. River kissed him then started licking and kissing his body. He
licked and sucked at Skye's nipples as his hands wandered.

"You have an incredible body. So tight and muscled. I thought you were
sexy before... but now..." River said as he licked along the edges of
Sky's bush, letting his tongue run down the crease between his thigh and
his crotch before gently licking his balls. River took one in his mouth
and sucked, gently rolling it in his mouth before releasing it and taking
the other. He licked up the ridge on the shaft of Skye's hard dick and
captured the stream of pre-cum. "Wow... that tastes so good. And your
cock is so fine."

"You know it's almost identical to your own? Jerrick measured both of us
to prove it to me when I argued you were so much bigger."

"Really? I would have said you were bigger. And I've tasted my pre-cum
before and there you definitely have me beat."

"Don't worry. Once you're bonded and start your change you'll be just as
good and you'll also probably catch up on the height and muscles... that
is, if you work out and do what Taleel tells you."

"You're shitting me... right?"

"No but if you keep talking I'm going to have to take over."

River quickly took Skye back in his mouth with a smile as he watched and
tried to repeat what Skye had done. It was a little awkward and he gagged
a few times, but he found a rhythm and did a very respectable job.

Skye closed his eyes and enjoyed the blow job while he let River's
thoughts and lust wrap around him. He reveled in the feeling of River's
tongue, the hot wet mouth wrapped around his manhood, he could feel the
sucking sensation and the new dimension of sensing River's thoughts made
it that much more intense. Skye really wanted to pull River up into a
kiss and take control, but he knew this was important and that he had to
allow for River's needs.

"I'm really close River."

River tried to respond without stopping and the feeling of his voice
vibrating through Skye's cock brought him to the edge and he exploded in
the hot sucking mouth. He let his body release and reveled in the
slurping and sucking sounds as River tried to cope with the load filling
his mouth. River managed to take it all in and swallowed repeatedly
drinking down the hot seed.

As he finished and licked Skye's cock up and down capturing the few drops
that escaped, he looked up and smiled. "I can't believe I did that. I
never did that good for Benny - it was so much easier with you and I
wanted it so bad. Your cum also tastes so much better... I could suck
that stuff down like candy."

Skye didn't say anything, just pulled River back up into a hot passionate
kiss and enjoyed the taste of his own seed in River's mouth. He could
feel River's heart racing and knew what had to come next. Skye rolled
River on to his stomach and knelt at his head with his knees against
River's shoulders. River lifted his head and licked up Skye's swollen
shaft. "Patience little bro, I have something else in mind," Skye
laughed.

He ran his hands down River's back and enjoyed the view of the round
smooth globes and the sweet crack that he knew held so much promise.
"Lift your ass into the air... that's it pull your knees up just a bit...
that's it spread them real wide for me." Skye coached as he leaned down
and placed his body against River's back. He reached under and stroked
River's cock while his other hand felt along the slender thighs and
teased the balls. He put his face to the exposed crack and ran his tongue
down the smooth channel between the soft round globes. River cried out as
Skye's tongue ran across his hole. Skye enjoyed the reaction and buried
his face in River's crack and drove his tongue into his tight little
hole, licking and enjoying the light peach fuzz that surrounded the small
opening.

"You have a beautiful hole," Skye said as he started licking and biting
at the tender skin. River had lifted his ass and spread himself wide to
meet Skye's probing tongue. River's heart was racing and the lust and
anticipation was rolling off in waves. "Your hole is so tight and sweet
River. If I were Benny, I would not have let anything stop me from taking
such a hot prize." Skye drove his tongue in again as he continued to
stroke River's cock. He pushed his tongue in as far as he could, then
pulled back and spit on the tiny opening and used his finger to work the
spit into the tight puckered opening. He licked again and managed to go
just a little bit deeper, the hole was responding and had relaxed at his
tender probing. River was moaning loudly every time Skye's tongue entered
him, his body trying hard to get more of Skye's tongue inside.

Skye sat up and turned River over onto his back so they were face to
face. He lifted River's legs up to his shoulder and leaned his body
against him pushing his own hard cock against River's ass as he captured
his mouth in a passionate kiss. He ground his cock and balls against
River as he tongue fucked his mouth. Then he moved down and lifted
River's ass up and drove his face in against his hole and pushed his
tongue deep inside, before returning to another kiss. He reveled in the
lust and how badly River wanted to be fucked, how desperate he was to
have something more inside him.

River moaned into Skye's mouth as Skye slid his finger deep inside
River's hole and started to move in and out. He pulled back and used his
tongue again and spit into the hole before sliding a second finger into
the tight opening. He bit at River's nipples and as River cried out Skye
grabbed the small bowl and scooped up some of Garrett's pre-cum and
generously lubed the soft pink opening. "Are you sure?" Skye asked.

"Fuck yes. Please Skye," River begged as he kissed Skye, driving his
tongue into Skye's mouth.

Skye gently put his cock to the slick opening and started rubbing, but
River was determined and started pushing up against the cock trying to
drive it inside of himself. His body opened and Skye gently worked his
way in with slow, smooth thrusts.

"Fuck me... fuck me please. I want to feel you deep inside me."

Skye went deeper and tried to feel every bit of River's body as his cock
split open the virgin hole. It was tight and wet and felt absolutely
wonderful. He thrust deep and hard while continuing to kiss River, as he
attempted to eat the groans and cries of pleasure. "You're a noisy fuck
aren't you?"

"Oh gods yes. You feel so good, so big. Fuck me harder. I want you to cum
inside me."

Skye picked up the tempo and changed the angle enough that River didn't
stop moaning and crying out from the pleasure. He couldn't kiss him but
he knew River was about to reach his first fuck induced orgasm so he went
harder and deeper and allowed his body to bask in the pleasure.

Just as River hit the point of no return, he screamed and grabbed onto
Skye, his eyes wide as he realized he was cuming from being fucked, then
Skye orgasmed shooting hot load, after hot load into the virgin ass. As
his body gave up its last he collapsed onto River with a tender kiss.

He pulled back and started licking up the white jiz that streamed down
River's stomach from his own release. Skye had come to love the taste of
jiz - whether that was a bleed over from Garrett or his own tastes - he
didn't care, River's tasted great. He gently licked the sticky cock and
once it was clean and wet with his spit, he grabbed the bowl and used
some of the pre-cum on his own hole.

"What are you doing?" River asked in a dazed voice.

"Going to milk your fat dick for another load," Skye answered as he
straddled River and slid his body down over the hard cock, taking him
deep inside. Skye smiled at the look on River's face as he looked up at
his muscled brother riding his cock, hard and fast, squeezing and milking
him for all he was worth.

"Holy shit... you feel so fuckin' good. It's such a turn on seeing you
ride my cock," River panted as Skye rode him hard.

Skye liked the feel of River's cock in his ass. It fit nicely and after
practicing so much with Garrett, he could ride it as hard and fast as he
wanted and it felt awesome. He knew River wouldn't last long, his eyes
were already glazed over and his moans had become soft grunts with each
thrust. Skye squeezed and milked and then it hit - River's scream echoed
off the walls as he tried to sit up with the intensity of the orgasm. But
Skye continued to ride and milk the thick shaft until he was sure his
body had captured every last drop.

He slowly lifted himself off of River and then wrapped his body around
him. River's eyes were dilated and his breathing was still rapid but he
was slowly coming down from the high. Skye pulled him close and reveled
in how much pleasure he had brought to his little brother.

"Fuck Skye. Is that what it's always like?"

"Yeah, though with Garrett it can be even more intense and we'd go a
couple more rounds. I didn't want to overwhelm you on your first time."

"Maybe next time..." River said as he snuggled into Skye. "Thank you
Skye. That was even better than my fantasies. And believe me - I've been
fine tuning those for a while."

"I love you River and you don't know how much I've missed you."

"We're together now and I got your back. There's nothing we can't face if
we have each other."
