Alrighty, here we go again folks. First, lets get it out of the way. This story contains consensual sexual contact between a feral dragon and a human, so if you don't like that sort of thing, go elsewhere. Ok? Ok. If you are still here, then welcome back to the amorous adventures of Deb and Alpha. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them.

On with the show.

---

Debbie's heart thundered in her ears, beating so hard she could barely hear the usual sounds of the house around her. She couldn't believe what she was thinking, couldn't even fully grasp the implications of the revelation that had literally just appeared in her mind. There was no way, NO WAY that this was real, that this was actually happening. It was impossible for any creature to communicate like that. Sure, just like its impossible for dragons to exist, and yet, you are literally lying in the arms of one right now. The traitorous little voice in her head's point was nonsensical, but that hardly mattered. Taking a deep breath, she shook her head, trying to clear it. No, this was just her imagination. It had to be. It was just an aftershock of what she and Alpha had done. Just her brain supplying a justification, a hopeful day dream to make the fact that she had had wild, literally mind blowing sex with a dragon okay. Oh god… What the hell was I thinking?

“Rarerf." Alpha commented, a concerned look on his draconian face. Your scent told me you were thinking that you wanted to mate with me. The intensely masculine voice in her head was back, unchanged from before, and she was immediately overwhelmed with the urge to comfort the dragon when his expression changed, becoming somehow sad and ashamed. ** Did I do something wrong?**

“God no, Alpha." Debbie said, immediately sorry for even thinking what she had thought, reaching out and stroking his right ear fin, something she knew he enjoyed, gently tugging his head closer to her, nuzzling gently against his snout. Her expression shifted to a smile again, and her voice hitched as he pulled her a little closer in reply, a little more securely against his belly, his still rigid penis tugging a bit on something sensitive inside her. “Y-you didn't do anything wrong. You are absolutely right, I did want to mate with you. Do, want to mate with you." The fact that the words were absolute truth didn't help her make sense of this, didn't help her racing mind one bit. In the middle of Alpha giving her exactly what her body had been craving, even the voice of reason in her mind that had objected had been silent. And it still was, shockingly. “This is just... a lot to take in, that's all. I didn't expect… I don't understand, how you can talk in my head like this."

“Rah." Alpha replied, the word something she had never heard him say before. I don't understand it either. I have been trying to talk to you, to get you to understand like this, since I first met you. That thought set her back a bit, her mood beginning to shift when the full implications of what he was saying crossed her mind. “Rerf." He continued, nuzzling her back, his expression shifting again to the look she suddenly realized she had never seen him give to anyone else, a fact that made her feel unaccountably warm inside. It took me a long time to understand that you couldn't understand me. I kept trying, hoping that someone would.

“You have been trying to talk to everyone, like this?" She asked, incredulous. “Doctor Cicero and all the researchers too?"

“Erf." He confirmed and she didn't need to hear his thoughts to know his answer.

“I can't imagine what that is like, talking and no one hearing you." Deb said, reaching her other hand up to stroke the other side of his head while he rested his chin on the top of her head. “I'm so sorry that I couldn't understand you before. I tried to guess what you were saying."

“Rawr." He said, his smile making her smile as well. I know you did. And we managed, I think.

“We did." Shivering as the muscles in her legs quivered, making their tired state known even as the muscles in her core twitched, her nethers gently spasming in response to a twitch from her lover, his shaft flexing slightly. As she thought about his statement of trying to be understood, and coupling it with the memory of his behavior of late; his being more affectionate to her, of snuggling up to her all the time, of playfully teasing her. Smiling, she asked the question that had occurred to her, the possibility touching her far more than she expected. “What were you trying to tell me, that I didn't understand?"

“Rwer" he commented softly, and she could feel him looking up, the same way a human would if they were trying to bashfully avoid the question. Its nothing really important. In that instant, she knew, but she didn't let the thought form in her mind. Not yet. She wouldn't push him to explain. She didn't need too.

Letting out a soft exhalation at the sensation of him flexing inside her again, she tentatively reached a hand down, caressing her belly, applying just enough pressure to feel the outline of his huge member inside her and she shivered in amazement. “Alpha, I have to tell you, I don't know how you managed to fit inside me. You are gigantic."

Am I supposed to be smaller? Alpha's voice asked in her head as he made a soft sort of growl that wasn't quite a word.

“Alpha, honey, I wouldn't want you any other way than what you are." Deb replied, nuzzling against the underside of his head again. “But humans are not nearly your size, or shape." While she said it, images flashed past her mind of previous lovers, and even porn she had seen, none of which came anywhere near to her dragon lover's endowment. Alpha lowered his head beside hers again, rubbing their cheeks together, his wonderfully dexterous tongue flicking out to lick affectionately under her chin once more.

“Mlerph." He said. Well, my mate deserves better than all of that. With that statement, alien images flashed into her mind, images that disappeared too quickly for her to make sense of, but they left behind a tight bundle of raw emotions that made her insides twist in a way she had never felt before, and couldn't quite describe. It made her feel warm and exhilarated, and…close, to the wonderful creature holding her against his scaly belly. That confirmed it.

“Alpha…" She whispered, turning her head towards him and he looked at her in surprise, leaning back slightly so she had room. Reaching up with her free hand, she guided him closer to her, holding the image of what she was doing hard in her mind, hoping it would transfer, hoping he would see. A moment later, he seemed to, his lips pursing at the end of his muzzle, the motion perhaps unnatural for a dragon, but it made no difference when their lips met, their first real, shared kiss. The motion sent lightning through her for far more than just the contact, because it confirmed for her that they really were linked, mentally, emotionally, and, quite firmly, physically. It was an extremely intimate realization, and it prompted her to break the kiss for a moment when the idea flitted into her mind, Alpha's jaws parting, the tip of his long tongue tentatively sliding between her lips, meeting and twining gently with her own, the images she had supplied paling in comparison to the reality at the rapidly deepening kiss.

“Mph." He managed, and the emotions that accompanied his next quiet statement almost made the words unintelligible under their intense barrage. I love you Deb. I tried to tell you before, over and over, but I love you. Though the emotions surging into her mind were alien and so intense they almost burned within her, she didn't need a translation. She knew what they were, and oddly, she knew that they matched what she had been feeling for him, for far longer than she had even realized it. No wonder I dreamed about you…

“Huff…hah…" She panted as they broke contact again, the intimate gesture of his long tongue sliding out from between her lips leaving her breathless once more. “God… I love you too, Alpha. So much." The pair fell silent for a few moments, basking together in the intimacy of their sharing, then, finally Debbie asked the question that she should have been asking instead of what she had been thinking. “Well… I guess we need to decide what we are going to do at work."

“Erf." Alpha replied, nuzzling her again, a mischievous grin crossing his muzzle. And talk about boundaries?

“Heheh… yeah, and talk about boundaries." Deb chuckled at his teasing. “I guess we should do that first." Alpha gave a very human nod in reply, and she continued, not even thinking it strange that he would make such a gesture. “Humans don't think its appropriate to do anything like this in public, and no one would be okay with even a handsome dragon like you mating with a human." Alpha's reply was a deep sigh, and his mental statement seemed to carry with it an emotional overtone of tolerant, if reluctant, acceptance.

I think that is stupid, but I guess that is fair. So, mating is for when we have privacy. The auburn haired woman in his arms nodded, and he continued, his taloned fingers gently stroking her skin, his question carrying a whole lot of images and eager emotion with it. *But, does that mean we can mate whenever we want, in private? * Instantly, Deb was reminded that, for all of his apparent emotional maturity, he was probably still in the grip of his horny physical prime, and raring to put it to good use. And just as quickly, she decided that she wouldn't mind that one bit, considering his apparent prowess.

“Oooohh yeah." She said, nodding and biting her lip at the possibilities that were simmering in the background of her mind. “Whenever we want."

“Erf." Alpha stated, giving her a suggestive grin that carried with it another quick reel of images that did very little to calm her down. “Rawr?" How about, like…nuzzling and things like that?

“If we are careful not to be too obvious about it, I think its ok to do that while out and about." Deb replied, realizing she was becoming more comfortable with this form of communication the longer they talked. “I mean, we already do that, so it shouldn't tip anybody off that we are more than that to each other."

“Rerah." He stated. Good. I don't think I could stand being unable to show you how I feel for that long.

“But, I guess that brings up another thing." Deb said, finally turning her mind to consider the subject. “Alpha, I love you very much, but we are still supposed to be involved in an experiment, to see about whether a human and a dragon can work, living together." And right then, before Alpha could say it, she realized the same thing that apparently occurred to him, the same thought almost coming into their minds at the same instant. “I mean, obviously, we can work. But, I don't think the human and the dragon becoming a couple was what they had in mind when they started this."

“Rer." Alpha said, the word almost sounding chagrined. Probably not.

“So… aren't we invalidating the experiment?" She asked, the thought twisting around and around in knots in her head. On the one hand, clearly, the experiment was successful. A human and a dragon easily could live together. In fact, not only could they comfortably live together, they had gone farther, falling in love. But on the other hand, they had fallen in love and had sex, and that was definitely not part of the experiment's parameters. In fact, that probably invalidated the whole thing.

“Rawr?" Does it effect the experiment at all? I mean, it doesn't really make a difference to the outcome, because they are getting the information that they wanted.

“I…don't know." Debbie answered, suddenly realizing that the question was moot anyway. “Oh hell…we can't tell them either way. They would separate us for sure." That thought was immediately accompanied by a hefty load of irony, because at that moment, she became aware of an unfamiliar sensation in her nethers that was growing more prominent. It felt like her muscles were relaxing, the same sort of feeling you got when a good stretch came to an end, only it wasn't her muscles. Alpha's hefty dragon shaft was softening, her lover letting out a soft hiss almost of disappointment as it wilted. Tugging smoothly with his hips, Alpha pulled out of her at last with a slick, lewd plop and she gasped at the sudden emptiness inside her, an emptiness that was slowly obscured by the smooth, thick warmth of dragon seed oozing back out of her overflowing womb. “Oh my god…"

Managing to slide to the side so she was seated on the floor, resting back against Alpha's chest, she looked down at herself, and the fluid slowly making itself visible in the opening of her well stretched passage. It was far thicker in consistency than human seed, so thick she didn't think it would dribble out of her in a hurry, a realization that was very pleasing for reasons she didn't want to think too hard about. Then, she glanced over at Alpha's member, marveling again that she had managed to take something so huge, even though it was steadily shrinking back into his slit. Then, she noticed the shiny smear of mixed liquids covering her lover's belly scales, slowly drying to a sticky paste and she grinned, managing to haul herself up to a crouch despite her protesting legs.

“Come on, Alpha, now we both need to clean up." She said, managing to stand despite her exhausted muscles by pressing back against her lover's body while she did it.

“Erf." Yeah, I think you are right. Rolling onto his feet, Alpha rose to stand fully, stretching broadly and resting his shoulder against her so she could lean on him while they walked, looking up at her with a broad, pleased smile. Grinning at him in reply, Deb rested her hand on his brawny shoulder, just forward of his wing and allowed the dragon to lead her out of the bedroom and back down the hall, towards the garage, his comforting bulk keeping her from stumbling despite her wobbly legs, and the increasingly sloppy state of her upper thighs. Even so, as they made their way out of the house proper and back into the garage, she almost fell down the single step to the concrete of the garage floor, a slimy trail of dragon seed seeping its way down her leg, towards her right knee as she stumbled. Alpha chuffed softly in a chuckle when he felt her stumble, but he stopped in place, spreading a wing to support her if she fell, leaning against her to carry her weight.

“Such a gentleman," Debbie commented, smiling as the dragon grinned proudly, nuzzling against her naked belly.

“Rrer." That is me, alright. A gentledragon. Alpha replied, and she scratched under his chin once more, his tongue lolling out in pleasure. When she was upright again, Debbie let Alpha precede her into the room that had been built off the garage, stepping onto the water resistant, textured gel that covered the floor. Flicking on the lights, she followed Alpha towards the drain set into the center of the floor.

Turning the dial on the aptly nicknamed 'Dragonwash', Debbie stepped back out from under the spray of the trio of showerheads directly above them, the initial frigid deluge missing them both. The water system hooked up to the specially designed plumbing included an industrial strength water heater and the room was soon filling with steam and Alpha eagerly slipped under the steaming water, his scales glistening like gemstones as he got soaked.

“Rergh." He stated, sprawling on his back in the steaming cascade of water so it sprayed against his belly and legs. Feels so good!

“I know, I like hot showers too." Debbie replied, grinning at him while she fetched the brush, sponge and soap from where they had dried off from last time. Coming back, she stepped into the hot water and shivered as she rinsed herself off again. Not wanting to completely dry out her skin, she stepped back over her dragon's legs, careful not to trip on the gel floor as she stepped out of the water. As Alpha rolled and shifted under the cascading water, soaking in the heat as he basked, Debbie scrubbed the sticky residue of sex off her belly and legs, then reached out to tug the central showerhead down, detaching it and the hose that fed it from the assembly, spraying herself down. Then, widening her stance, Debbie held it between her legs, directing the stream up inside her, making her shiver and her toes curl while the stream of hot water washed the sticky dragon seed out of her.

“Rerf." Alpha commented, sounding wistful, Awww… that is a shame. Debbie looked over at him to find him giving her a teasing grin and she returned it, playfully directing the spray of the nozzle so that it splashed him in the face, making him give the chuffing laugh again, rolling back over onto his paws.

“You know, you, Mister Horny Reptile, are the reason that I have to clean up again." She said, her cheeks burning with a blush as she hung the showerhead back where it had started, retrieving the soap from where she had left it with her other hand. “Now then, hold still." Going down to her knees beside her lover, she lathered up the sponge and started scrubbing his side under his wing, Alpha stretching and almost squirming in pleasure under her attentions. It actually didn't take long for her to scrub Alpha's back and wings, all the way from the tip of his tail up to his muzzle, the dragon obligingly moving his limbs around so she could reach. “Ready to rinse, Alpha?"

“Erf." He said. But, before she could move to get the moveable showerhead again, the dragon moved his head close once more, nuzzling against her, his tongue gently parting her lips once more. Surprised, Debbie let out an involuntary moan, reaching out and grabbing Alpha's horns with both sudsy hands, instinctually urging him closer, deepening the kiss. When Alpha withdrew his dexterous tongue from her mouth a few seconds later, leaving her breathless, the teasing grin on his face made her heart lurch and she sat back.

“Whew…" Deb exclaimed, surprised that her heart was pounding, her body heating up again as she blushed scarlet.

“Rawr?" Alpha inquired innocently, Didn't you say something about rinsing?

“Hah…" She panted, giving him a mock glare, unable to stop herself from grinning. “Yes I did, you naughty dragon." Standing up all the way, Debbie used the showerhead to rinse the suds off of Alpha, leaving his dark green scales shiny. “Now roll over, you goof, so I can get your belly."

Giving an answering grin, Alpha obligingly rolled over onto his back, stretching his legs up towards the ceiling. Smiling, she reached for the soap and scrubbing sponge once more, but as she almost reached it, Alpha's tail tip casually swept them both out of her reach. She would almost have said that it was an accident, but Alpha's muzzle had a hint of the same mischievous grin that he had always worn when playing a prank. Grinning at him in return, shaking her head, she reached out for the soap again, crouching down and leaning forward almost on all fours to reach it. Then, without any warning at all, Alpha suddenly shifted in an almost sinuous motion, all four limbs suddenly wrapping around her, scooping her off the gel flooring and lifting her with a surprised yelp so she was belly down on his stomach, her legs splayed up towards his head.

“Rawr." Alpha commented, the thoughts rolling into her mind with the statement not words so much as images and emotions that roiled inside her, kindling the heat his kiss had given her into a brilliant flame that concentrated in her nethers, her libido suddenly on full blast once more. Before she could say a word, Alpha pulled her a little further up his belly, his hot breath washing over her sex making her shudder.

“Oh my g-god, Alpha…" Debbie exclaimed as Alpha nuzzled her slit, making her whole body quiver once again. Despite the fact that she was sore from their earlier lovemaking, her whole body yearned for him, making her heart hammer once more. Taking a deep shuddering breath, she tried to exert some sort of control over herself, her hands landing on his back legs, though they were shaking so bad she couldn't actually do anything with them. Even as he continued to nuzzle between her legs, drawing in a deep breath of her scent before exhaling in satisfaction, she was pressing her hips towards his muzzle once again. “W-why are you d-doing this now? We are s-supposed to b-be cleaning up."

“Mrph." I can't help it, you just smell so good. ** His voice was once again muffled by being pressed against her, his tongue tip flicking out and tasting her once more, a purr of approval rumbling through his entire body, **And the way you taste, Mmmm… it just drives me crazy.

“O-oh. Ah!!" Debbie gasped as his well-textured tongue dipped down inside her again, her eyes going wide as it expertly rubbed against sensitive spots inside her. And then, she no longer cared about controlling her urges, because she suddenly found herself face to face with the pine green draconian endowment that was suddenly showing itself, sliding from the genital slit between his back legs where it hid.

Marveling at its size again, Debbie bit her lip, barely holding in the low moan that Alpha's questing tongue was eliciting from her. Then, as she sucked in a stuttering breath through her nose as Alphas tongue slid even deeper, teasing spots he hadn't reached before, she detected a faint aroma on the air, a scent that she couldn't begin to classify. But, though indefinable to her conscious mind, her body didn't seem to have a problem. Instantly, any self control she had had disappeared and she reached out with both hands, caressing Alpha's shaft as it came nearer, stiffening fully at her touch. Leaning forward as best she could in Alpha's grasp until she was only inches away, she couldn't take her eyes off of it, wanting it with the same intensity she had wanted it before. Stroking her hands up his shaft from the base, feeling the ridges and nubs under her fingers, she admired how it felt in her grasp, Alpha giving a huffing breath at her attentions.

Seeming to sense what she was intending, Alpha curled his hips inward, moving closer to her and Debbie licked her lips in anticipation as it came within easy reach of her, the almost-scent getting more present in her nostrils. Then, as Alpha's purr seemed to translate fully up the length of his tongue within her as if it were a living vibrator, she moved closer, planting a kiss on Alpha's tip, eliciting a growl of approval from the dragon. Debbie was rewarded a moment later with a large droplet of flavorful pre from her lover's member, the taste wildly different than any other lover she had had. Sliding her mouth to the side, she pressed her tongue up between her lips, sliding down the side of his cock, stroking and caressing as much of his shaft as she could hold, gently pressing his shaft against her lips and tongue as she did so.

For his part, Alpha seemed to love the way she was treating him, a sound that was halfway between a growl and a muffled moan rising through his chest beneath her and she grinned to herself, backing up slightly to repeat the motion down the other side of his gigantic equipment. As she continued mouthing the side of his shaft, Alpha's hips gave a thrust that drove her further down towards his base, but at the same time, the dragon's long tongue writhed in her passage as he seemed to flick it, making her moan once more, her eyes closing in pleasure. But, even as she reached his base with her mouth, she breathed in again, the indefinable scent so strong she almost swooned, and she paused, pulling back and almost gasping in another breath. This wasn't enough, not to satisfy the wild, almost primal urge that was taking over.

Backing up and inadvertently pressing more of Alpha's tongue into her, Debbie repositioned, looking at Alpha's member head-on once more. Then, with one last breath to prepare herself, she moved forward, slipping his tip and the head of his organ past her lips, into her maw, lavishing it with her tongue. Even as the taste of his penis filled her taste buds, Alpha let out a surprised exclamation that didn't translate into words, but the meaning of which was made perfectly clear to her when his penis contributed another pulse of pre to her mouth, so much she almost thought he had cum already. Bobbing her head a little further down his massive erection and swallowing as she did so, she let out a deep, low moan around it even as his tip pushed against her throat, almost making her gag. Alpha pursued her with his muzzle, pressing his tongue even deeper, massaging her cervix with his tongue tip, and she shuddered again, the sensation almost orgasmic. Even as she pressed herself hard forward, letting her dragon's tip slide a little way down her throat, her tongue still swirling at the underside, she wasn't quite satisfied. But, she knew instinctively that he was far too broad to go any deeper.

“Mlrph." Alpha said, his muffled statement filling her mind with an image that she didn't grasp right away, but it turned out not to matter. Alpha uncurled his hips slightly, pulling a couple inches of his length from her mouth, pre coating her tongue as he prepared to do something new. She could feel her lover's mouth open wide, the huge reptile sinking his muzzle forward so his mouth entirely embraced her, his tongue curling deep inside her as almost its entire length worked its way into her passage, undulating and writhing to fit. Her eyes wide once more, Debbie came, the unexpected sensations making her passage convulse, almost massaging the dragon tongue inside her, what should have been a loud moan muffled by Alpha's tip.

At the same time, the sudden increase in pressure around her passage made her dip forward, Alpha's penis slipping back as deep as she could take it. Gasping and panting through her nose, she shuddered, her whole body quivering at the sudden assault of sensations. She could feel the sharp points of his teeth resting on both her belly and lower back as his tongue twisted and writhed inside her, the combination sending another shattering orgasm through her. The apparent danger presented by his teeth only made everything more intense and she quivered, the orgasm going on and on as she moaned.

Suddenly, even as her eyes rolled back in pleasure and Alpha worked his tongue within the confines of her passage, she felt his penis twitch, bucking in her grasp as she squeezed and stroked on autopilot, his tip actually working its way into her throat as she swallowed. She barely managed to gasp in a breath around the obstruction before it happened. She could feel the pulse of his cum surge up his impressive length, and she swallowed as hard as she could as a torrent of hot, thick dragon cum sprayed down her throat. Resisting the instinctual urge to gag at the sensation, she shuddered instead, a second and third pulse of seed flooding down her throat into her stomach. Almost writhing in her dragon's grip, his teeth gently pressing and releasing on either side of her torso as they orgasmed together, Debbie swallowed again and again with each pulse, barely keeping up with the seemingly never-ending river of thick, sticky seed that was pouring from Alpha's tip. Her lungs were burning, crying out for the oxygen that she had already been short of from the multiple orgasms, before her dragon had cum.

Then, just as she was getting tunnel vision, she got a reprieve, Alpha suddenly relaxing the abdominal muscles that had been keeping him in reach, his tip jerking out of her throat so suddenly she did gag, but Alpha's orgasm hadn't stopped, another heavy spurt filling her mouth instead as he slid completely out of her once more. Another pulse sprayed sticky, fragrant seed all over Debbie's neck, and another coated her chest, but she didn't care, desperately sucking in a breath of air so saturated with the salty musk of cum that she had to question if she was actually breathing for a moment. Coughing as Alpha languidly relaxed under her, his head and neck falling back, his long, almost prehensile tongue withdrawing at last from her passage, Debbie sucked in several deep breaths, weakly wiping her face as she almost collapsed on her lover's scales, her vision filled with pretty stars.

When her lungs finally quit heaving, and she could think, Debbie coughed a couple more times, swallowing against the sticky coating left in her throat. Her eyes seemed like they were all cloudy still, and it took her way longer than it should have to realize that it was because the shower room was filled with steam from the water they had never thought to turn off, the industrial water heater still having plenty of hot water to contribute to the occasion. She still couldn't smell anything except dragon seed, unless it was the more intense and present aroma she still couldn't describe, and she realized suddenly that she was essentially using Alpha as a bed, sprawled flat, molded to his stomach. Alpha's gigantic shaft, softened but clearly still half aroused, lay inches from her nose and she smiled slightly at the sight. Trying to raise her head off of his scales, she winced, having to literally peel herself off of his scaly belly.

“Ow." She commented, realizing she was lying in a sticky puddle of white fluid, the thick liquid almost gluing her to Alpha.

“Rerf?" Alpha asked, You ok? Deb could feel him raise his head to look down the length of his body at her. Looking back over her shoulder, she met his eye and grinned, placing her palms on him and pushing herself up, feeling her breasts and ribs peel off of his scales, the dragon under her shivering at the unfamiliar sensation. Sliding to the side, barely able to move her limbs, she ended up lying slumped against Alpha in the water that had collected in the crook of his wing during their romp. Chuckling, she managed to sit up, feeling dizzy from the sex and the hot water around them and nearly passing out from lack of air. Feeling a familiar itch in her nose, she worked it around, sniffing, then sneezed hard, surprised when she realized what came out of her nostrils was more cum than it was snot.

“Augh..." She commented, leaning over and sneezing again, shaking her head. Coughing, she tasted Alpha's seed on her tongue once again, the salty taste making her shiver. “I'm going to be tasting it all day, aren't I?"

“Erf." Alpha replied, a goofy grin on his face. I'm not going to complain about tasting you, all day.

“Yeah, well, I guess I can't complain either." She replied, smiling as feeling came back to her limbs fully. Looking down at the mess Alpha had made of both of them again, she playfully elbowed his belly. “Now, are you going to let me finish cleaning us up, or not?"

“Rrrhef." Alpha replied, chuffing in laughter again. I guess so. Or maybe not…
