<Late Morning>



	`Tonio watched the blouse float to the ground, his eyes 

glazing over as the force of the dragonlust took hold.  Putting his 

fingers to his lips, he whistled shrilly as DeMarco signaled his 

intent to chase.

 

	<I SHALL PROVE MY WORTH!>

 

	A loud whinny followed by the rapid beat of hooves came from 

inside the barn, knocking over the groom in the process.  Laroxes 

came bolting out towards `Tonio.  As he passed, `Tonio grabbed hold 

of the stallion's mane and easily swung himself up and onto the mount 

without missing a beat.  Astride the white charger `Tonio urged him 

forward in pursuit of the half-naked Xanthia.

 

	The crimson dragon DeMarco launched himself into the air 

after the taunting Maxima, who began her evasion.

 

	<Catch me if you…>

 

	"Can!" shouted Xanthia to the rapidly closing `Tonio.

 

	`Tonio continued to shorten the distance between he and his 

quarry.  Laroxes was a quick steed and `Tonio knew that he would….

 

	….catch her.  DeMarco was not going to be beaten out in this 

mating flight.  Without any competition, she was as good as his.  The 

object of his pursuit dove low, heading for the….



….forest, Alustriel weaving in and out amongst the trees, her rider 

crouched low, pushing the mare to greater speeds.  Behind her came 

the rhythmic galloping of Laroxes, the now bare-chested `Tonio 

astride him.  The skilled rider was rapidly gaining on her, waiting 

for the proper moment, "You will be mine…."



<…MILADY!> the dragon roared as `Tonio and he became more and more of 

a single mind.  The tantalizing prospect of the capture and resulting 

mating pushed DeMarco ever closer.  He knew this terrain well, knew 

when and where to strike.  Maxima was a crafty one, but knowledge of 

the lay of the land gave DeMarco the one advantage…



…he needed.  Angling to the right, he nodded in satisfaction as 

Xanthia urged Alustriel away from him, sending a haughty glance back 

at him.  Spurred on by the prospect of mating with the red-haired 

vixen, he launched Laroxes forward in a sudden burst of speed, 

bringing himself even with her, just as they…



…broke into an open clearing.  Too late Maxima realized she was being 

carefully herded as she pulled up straight into DeMarco's embrace, 

his wings closing about her.  <I..>



"…submit," Xanthia said as the two tumbled to the soft grass of the 

clearing, the horses slowing down as they realized that the chase was 

over.    



	In a tangle of limbs the two began removing the last vestiges 

of clothing that remaining upon their bodies, eager to begin.  As the 

last bit flew off, the two submitted fully to the passions that had 

been released from within.

<late afternoon>



	`Tonio stirred from the light nap he was taking, woken by a 

soft whicker near his nose as Alustriel nudged him.  He chuckled and 

started to move his arm, but a Xanthia murmured pleasantly, grabbing 

his arm back and wrapping it around her naked figure, snuggling 

closer to the Knight in the process.  The afternoon had been spent in 

ecstasy as well as an exercise in endurance.  Nearby the two dragon 

lay peaceably, snuggled together in the same fashion.  Laroxes was 

near them, grazing near DeMarco's crimson head.  `Tonio looked over 

at the dragon, who had a smug grin on his face.



	Tilting his head, he kissed the side of Xanthia's neck, 

getting another sigh from the flame-haired lady.  Although he was 

still bathing in the afterglow, `Tonio couldn't help but wonder what 

would happen next.
