"And now...now, you're sitting there and telling me, bold as brass, that
everything you did was all right and that I ought to somehow be *thankful*
to you for the whole thing!!"

Lenna pursed her lips and thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Yep!
I think that pretty well covers it!"

There was the strangest look on Lenna's face, as if she had foregone everything
else in the world to concentrate on one panicky thought. B'rand stood as
she got up and walked outside; he opened his mouth to question when 
Blanchie roared her challenge and took off into the air.

<<She flies, my rider!>> Rook's mental voice echoed in his head. <<I 
will win her....erp.>>

*.."Erp"??!*

<<We go to win her! Er, sorry about your ledge.>>

*Just great. You're in no shape to do this!*

<<You would rather some other dragon win Blanchie?>>

*No, but ...*

<<We will be okay. Help me.>> B'rand could feel his senses merging with
his dragon's, lust building to an edge...and the fatigue. He could feel the
effort it took for Rook to even keep up with the others. His poor dragon 
was in pretty bad shape, and the big meal he had just had was not 
helping; B'rand could feel it roiling in his/their bellies.

<Come!! Show me who is the worthiest of you!!> Blanchie called from above.
Already, she was ducking and weaving from the first of the chasing males.
B'rand could feel the despair of his dragon as he saw the sheer number
of males between him and the female.

<Not quick enough you unworthy crow!!> the lavender laughed and banked
right, leading the others on a merry chase. 

Impossibly, as she lost altitude, she turned in his general direction. He/they
had a chance after all! Rook flapped as hard as he could, trying to gain
altitude...

In their single-minded determination, they missed the fact that they were
actually catching up with the other males! One, then another and another 
of the males dropped behind them, exhausted already. They caught up to
a larger knot of pursuing males when B'rand felt the pressure in his belly.

*No, Rook! Don't!*

<<I can't...urp.>> Flames erupted from Rook's mouth, startling some of
the males. There were loud protests from all around.

<<I can't help it!!>> Rook retorted as he passed.

<You have to be quicker than that!!> Blanchie/Lenna laughed as they avoided
yet another would be winner. 

Then her winged were trapped from her blind side and as the dragon was
caught from above, her rider was pulled into the embrace of his rider below
and his lips came down crushing hers.

Both struggled to get away, but they were well and truly caught. 

*Submit... you are mine.* Man and dragon ordered the pair. 

<Prove it!!> they refused to be still and give in.

<We caught you didn't we?> the males chuckled as their hold on the females
tighten to prove their point. <Who else but ones who would be worthy enough
could do that... now SUBMIT!!>

<You are worthy! We will have you.> Rider and dragon both agreed and finally
gave into the males.

"Was there ever any doubt," The B'rand answered back, and picked her up 
to carry her away. It would take too long to reach their ledge...

<<Trust me, you don't want to go there.>>

*What did you do?* B'rand thought back. But Rook's mind was turned on
other matters, and they had nearly reached a convenient spot. B'rand 
started opening doors, finally found one to an empty room. He placed
Lenna to the floor, caught at her clothes in his fists, and felt the satisfying
tear of cloth under his hands...then gave into the heat and lust, the thrumming,
tuneless song that filled Rook's mind, even as they mated together...
Lenna's nails dug into his back and chest as they mated, her cries echoing
Blanchie's. Again and again they mated, until the exhaustion was too much 
for him and B'rand fell into darkness...
