Chapter 6
Wolfgang:
style='mso-tab-count:1'> It was Tybalt’s birthday and I was
worried. I had no idea what happened to
him. I was happy though, I had
Raphael. The sound of a familiar laugh
jolted me from my thoughts. I looked up
to see Tybalt. A man with golden hair,
wings and a serpent-like tail had his arm around his shoulder and was lightly
nibbling on his ear. I stood up from the
park bench, hands clenched in fists. I
had told myself that I didn’t really care but I did, I missed him around, and
here he was, leaning against a dragon-shifter, it had to be.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> But why would he lower himself to that
point, to being a pet?
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Tybalt!” I said, walking over to
them.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> He jumped slightly and turned to
face me, eyes narrowing, “Wolfgang…” He started, then stopped as he felt the
dragon-shifter’s hand on his shoulder.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> He closed his eyes and leaned into
the dragon-shifter’s arms, “Good boy.” He purred, stroking Tybalt’s fiery hair.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> My eyes narrowed angrily, “Where
have you been?” I asked angrily, “And what are you doing being with a
dragon-shifter?” Tybalt’s throat worked as he swallowed hard.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I looked into the dragon-shifter’s golden
eyes, “Let him go!”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Ahhh, but Tybalt wants this.” He
said before kissing him softly, “You know he does. After all, you’re the one who left him.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I grabbed Tybalt’s arm and started
pulling him away. He didn’t fight
against me but he didn’t help me either.
Suly tly the shifter was before me, “Let my pet go wolf.” He growled
softly, gold eyes glittering angrily.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Pet? Pet? He’s a shifter, just
like you and I. You have no right to
keep him as anything.” I growled, standing toe to toe with the taller dragon.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> His hand lashed out and wrapped
around my throat, “He is mine, now let him go or I will kill you.” He growled.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Dante, please don’t hurt him.”
Tybalt whimpered pitifully from behind me.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> Dante looked at him, his eyes
softening, “Come here Tybalt.” He ordered softly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Tybalt, don’t.” I said softly as he
walked past me and stood beside Dante.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> Dante released my throat and wrapped
an arm around Tybalt’s shoulders, “Let’s go pet before he gets another foolish
idea.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> Tybalt looked over his shoulder at
me, an almost sad look in his eyes. I
slumped back to the bench, looking down at my feet. I doubted I would ever see him again and if I did it was better
if I didn’t say anything to him. He
wouldn’t age, wouldn’t change, but he was under that shifter’s complete
control.
Imakuni:
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I was still completely exhausted
from being tied up and tormented the previous night. After an hour or so Kiero came back and let me have release.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I now lay comfortably curled in Kiero’s bed,
wrapped in the warm, thick velvet and silk.
I didn’t know what Kiero had planned today and I wasn’t sure if I wanted
to find out. I was sore, tired, and
just wanted to be left alone.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Imakuni.” Kiero said softly,
sitting on the bed beside me. I rolled
away from him, “Come on honey.” He whispered, smoothing a hand down my
back. I shook my head, “What’s wrong
pet?”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I’m tired.” I whined softly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “You have no stamina little one.” He
chuckled softly, “But that isn’t why I’ve come, it’s time to wake up.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You need to get up, we’re going out.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I shook my head, “No.” I whined, “I
don’t want to.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “You have to.” He said, running his
fingers through my hair, “Time to get up, come on.” I pulled the blankets up
over my head, “Imakuni.” He said, using my name as a warning.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> He pulled the blankets down and I
glared at him, “Kiero, please.” I whined.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> He narrowed his eyes, “Up, now.” He
ordered, standing and looking down at me.
I growled softly and transformed, jumping up on his shoulder.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I didn’t know what he had in store for me
and I didn’t want to move, “No, no, little one, you’re not going out like
that.” He put a stack of clothes on the bed, “Get dressed.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I blinked and jumped off his
shoulder, returning to my human form.
Slowly I picked up the clothing, looking at it.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Jeans and a shirt, normal clothing.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I sighed in relief and pulled on the
comfortable jeans. They weren’t tight
which I was happy about. Slipping on
the black shirt, I raked a hand through my hair, combing it with my
fingers. I turned to face him and he
kissed me softly. Finally I looked him
over. He was wearing a pair of
custom-made jeans and a shirt that was obviously for dragon shifters.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> The shirt was blood red with a black dragon
on the front. I smiled as I looked at
it; the dragon was py, ly, like Kiero.
Of course I hadn’t seen Kiero in his dragon form, not that it mattered
really.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Where are we going?” I asked,
brushing my fingers through his hair.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> A half smile spread across his face,
“You’ll see.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I sighed, knowing better then to
argue with him. Without a word he walked
out of the room, expecting me to follow.
I went with him, not like I had much of a choice.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> If I ran he would find me, catch me, and
punish me. A part of me had grown to
love him and wanted to stay with him no matter what, but another part was screaming
to be free. It was an inner battle that
I didn’t care who won. His arm snaked
around my shoulders as we walked out of his room and down to the main floor.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I saw Dante on our out out; he was petting a
large reddish colored wolf whose leash rested in his hand.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Obviously that was his pet.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He was beautiful and I had the sudden desire
to walk over and talk to him. Of course
he wouldn’t be able to talk back and he didn’t look very happy.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I shook my head and let myself be lead away
by Kiero. I felt sorry for him but I
knew how he felt. We stepped out into
the dark night. Kiero seemed to like
the night better then day.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “It’s part of being a black
dragon-shifter.” He said absently, obviously scanning my thoughts.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I sighed, “Would you stop doing that?”
I said softly.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> He laughed, “No, I think not.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I do it out of habit now.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I rolled my eyes and together we
walked on. When we finally reached our
destination a smile spread across my face.
Ice cream, he was taking me for ireamream. At least I hoped that the building we stood before was actually
what it claimed to be. Together we
walked inside, it was an ice cream parlor, so many flavors in a glass
case. My eyes brightened and I hugged
Kiero tight.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> He laughed softly, “Go ahead and
pick out whatever you want.”
style='mso-tab-co1'> 1'> “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” I
repeated over and over again, I was happy; I hadn’t had ice cream in a long
time.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I rushed over to the case and began
to look at the wide y ofy of flavors. I
looked back at him and smiled, “Do you know what you want Imakuni?”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I nodded and turned to the clerk, “I
would like a banana split with pineapple, strawberry, and chocolate syrup!style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Not nuts and no whipped c and and cherries,
I would like maraschino cherries please.” I said excitedly.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Kiero laughed and the clerk complied with my
order, “Are you having anything?” I asked, looking at Kiero.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> Kiero smiled, “You, after you’re
done eating.”
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I swallowed hard andk thk the ice
cream offered. Kiero paid for it and we
sat down. My first bite of the sweet
confection was amazing. It was so
good. I hadn’t had ice cream in a few
years. I closed my eyes and took
another bite, savoring the frozen treat.
Kiero watched me eat, not a single word passed his lips.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Finally I finished, trying to get the last
of the chocolate syrup out of the dish.
Sighing in contentment I set it aside.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “Thank you Kiero.” I purred.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “My pleasure.” He replied, “Come on,
let’s go lovely.” He said, getting to his feet.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> With a contented smile I got up and
walked out of the ice cream parlor with him.
Once we were outside he wound his fingers through my hair and spun me
around, pulling me into a deep, probing kiss.
I gasped in surprise, my hands coming up to his shoulders and gripping
his shirt. He purred and pulled away,
licking my lips.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> “You taste delicious little one and
that ice cream was good as well.” His hands trailed down my back, “What would
you like to do now?” He asked, rubbing his cheek against mine.
style='mso-tab-count:1'> I purred and pressed close, “Be held
and petted and cuddled.” I said with a smile.
“Oh, so you
want to be pampered, do you?” He laughed, I nodded, “I believe that can be
arranged.” He said, scooping me up in his arms and carrying me through the
streets towards home.
All right, this chapter is finally done.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> They’ll be cuddling and the like in the next
chapter so stayed.
