I really enjoyed this chapter for the character interaction. It was nice to have an actual conversation between both James and Obane without it resulting in bloodshed.
I also want to state that I think it is wrong to classify Obane as a rapist. A rapist by definition is "somebody who uses force to have sexual intercourse with somebody else". And in the instance of this story, the consent is dubious, but not forced. I want to make this clear, not simply in the case of this story, but because the term "rape" gets tossed around way too carelessly these days.
Specifically, in the case of James and Obane, I believe that it is unfair to judge Obane by human standards. He is a dragon, doing what dragon's have been ingrained to do(i.e. A female presents herself as receptive to mating, the male dragon responds accordingly). Where I agree that Obane failed to understand that James has no frame of reference for his actions, I think labeling him as a rapist is both unfair and rash judgement. For example, the Ticuna tribe of the Amazon used to individually rip every stand of hair off a girl's head as a rite of passage. This would clearly be child abuse in our society, but to them it was an traditional step into adulthood. My point being that it is a bit ethnocentric(or I suppose "species"centric?) to judge Obane by our standards. He admitted to his own wrong doing and ignorance of James' lack of education of dragon mating habits and Obane is attempting to make it right. I suppose in my mind, a rapist is someone that is AWARE of his/her actions as he/she is forcing themselves on someone they KNOW is an unwilling participant in sexual activity. Sorry for the long comment on this, but I hate when rape is used incorrectly, as it is a horrible crime.
Anyway, I'm interested to see how Obane and James' relationship develops now. Obane is still my favorite character at the moment, although I'm looking forward to finally getting to know the calm-down(ed) version of James. I actually think a little alone time might be good for him. At the moment, his character is a bit self-centered(understandably so) and I can understand how it turns many readers off.
BTW, Congratulations on your wedding!

I just had the most lol moment when i realized that basically he could impregnate himself. o.O You know, having both working male and female genitals. Unless like the doctor hinted his male side isnt working much anymore?
Anyways thanks for the story so far, its interesting!

Gosh... James is such a bitch... I am slowly getting tired of his behaviour, although I am really impressed with the patience Obane has displayed so far, even after getting almost killed by his bitchy mate!
I understand that what happened to James was horrible, confusing and unexpected; however, isn't HE already tired of his resentment and constant anger? I would be, I am sure!
I hope him accepting Obane into the car with him is a step forward in this weird mateship of theirs. And the threats and gore whinging will soon lessen, for the sake of the potential child alone, of course ;)
Thank you for the chapter. Though it was a long wait I found myself remebering the previous chapters quite well - seems you story just cuptures attention :)

I wonder if I'm the only reader who DOESN'T want to see James together with Obane...
Anyways, congratulations on your wedding!

LOVE this chapter. I do hope the James lets Obane in at some point or another. Or at least can stand to being in the same room with him.
