While the room itself was no larger than any of the other princesses's rooms (as to ensure all were given "fair and equal treatment"), fortunately the furnishings themselves had been built to better accommodate her size. Of course with so many large pieces of furniture collected in one bed chamber it gave the room a somewhat cramped feel, but it was nothing the dragoness found unreasonable. <br><br>With another sigh she stepped up to the vanity mirror, which stood as tall as she did, and looked deeply into her reflection. So this is what she looked like as a queen? She didn't look all that different to be honest, nor did she feel different either. She supposed that would change in time however, both her appearance and her feelings, especially if she found her slender form growing heavy with child. That's right, she was to mate prince....King Auren in order to truly secure the position of her people. She briefly wondered what a child between them would look like, would they even be recognizable as dragon kin at that point? <br><br>"I suppose I won't have to worry about that for now" she mused, sitting down gently on her expansive bed. Her new husband was expected to visit her chambers at some point, but she did not expect him as soon as the first night. After all there were so many other brides that he probably found much more desirable, she imagined she was probably pretty low on his list of priorities. That was fine though, after all she's had to think about today she imagined a night's sleep would do her much better than awkwardly trying to figure out how to mate with such a tiny being as Auren.

				<div class="floatright">(https://img00.deviantart.net/9350/i/2013/067/7/5/prince_ivan_wolf_by_mad_sama-d5xbtav.jpg)</div>Far above, on a rampart overlooking the city, Auren looked impatiently at the trio before him--two old men and one young woman obscured in shadows and a heavy cloak..&nbsp; One was the lord mayor of the capital, the other the chief of the city guard.&nbsp; The third he had more recently met--she was a witch connected with the empire's intelligence service--an informant to the king whose agents included beast and portents as well as men.&nbsp; "What is it?" he asked impatiently.&nbsp; "You may have noticed I'm busy tonight."<br><br>"My lord," coughed the mayor, stepping forward.&nbsp; "Our sincere congratulations to you and your wives.&nbsp; However, the people had certain expectations that the assembly... well, that is to say..."<br><br>"The dragons," said the other man gruffly.&nbsp; "They won't bloody leave."<br><br>Auren's eyebrows rose and he leaned back, gazing up into the now cloudy skies above.&nbsp; Sure enough, after waiting for some time he was able to pick out the movement of some vast creature, or creatures, in the clouds.<br><br>The mayor tapped his fingers together, holding his palms toward each other as if in prayer.&nbsp; "Paranoia already mounts.&nbsp; If they don't leave by morning the people may begin to panic."<br><br>Auren looked sullenly in the air.&nbsp; It wasn't like he could call them down and demand them to explain themselves at such a distance.&nbsp; He'd been well briefed on dragons, of course--he knew that of all their senses, the least was hearing.&nbsp; While they were still better in this way than a small platoon of men spread out over some distance, dragons could see practically over the horizon in perfect clarity, and all his intelligence seemed to indicate that they had some unfathomable way of knowing where things were without seeing them--dragons could track movement through walls without ears, waiting in ambush for prey they neither heard or saw.&nbsp; Mysterious creatures, but quite hard to deal with.<br><br>Finally the witch stepped forward, her upper face obscured in shadow, pale skin underneath glowing in the moonlight.&nbsp; "My lord, perhaps I could make a guess at what they may want."<br><br>"Go ahead," Auren said with keen interest.&nbsp; <br><br>"For generations, the dragons have sought to provide you with a suitable bride.&nbsp; While even they of course could not demand an immediate demonstration, perhaps they wait to... ensure the marriage's consummation?"<br><br>Auren froze, and the two other men started.&nbsp; "That's quite a theory," he said, wondering just what kind of mindset led to it.&nbsp; "But... it does have quite some logic to it."&nbsp; He gripped an iron flagpole and stared up at the distant silhouettes.<br><br>Oh well.&nbsp; He'd been looking for an excuse to pick someone out as "first."&nbsp; <br><br>"Very well, I shall attend to my royal duties," he said, twirling around.&nbsp; "Monitor the situation and send me a note if they leave.&nbsp; A subtle one, if you please."<br><br>--------------------------------<br><br>Moments later, an attendant clad in a white dress stuck her pretty head in to check on Odell.&nbsp; "Mistress Odell, is there anything you need?" she asked in a subservient tone.&nbsp; She was pushing a cart with cleaning supplies, some light food, and even wine and sweets for those wives who may be... disappointed by being left alone during their first night in the castle.&nbsp; "If you'd like, some of the others were going to meet in the great hall and..." her voice trailed away and she took on an amazed expression as the sound of heeled boots sharply echoed down the hall.&nbsp; A man's voice echoed down the hallway, and the maid stammered in response "Y-yes!&nbsp; She's right here, and quite--"<br><br>"Thank you, I'd like a word with her," Auren said, appearing at the open door.&nbsp; He nodded gently, lowering his voice.&nbsp; "Why don't you go attend to the others," he said in a kind, patient way, but he quickly shut the door behind him.<br><br>"I hope I'm not intruding," he said, locking the door and turning to Odell, keeping his back straight.&nbsp; He looked almost imposing despite the height disadvantage and a casual smile--he'd cast aside his doubts on the way down and steeled himself for however awkward this may be, and at any rate the intense business of the last few days had left him no desire to waste time.

Sapphire blue eyes gently shifted to a dimly glowing yellow as she looked over her husband, her fluffy tail anxiously wagging to and fro along the bed. She had seen him for the very first time at the ceremony earlier that day, but to be alone with him in a more...intimate setting, it allowed her to truly take him in properly, "I'd be lying if I said I expected to see you again so soon, I'm afraid I haven't had the foresight to prepare a better welcoming for you" she said, referring to the still rather spartan accommodations of her room, which didn't exactly set a romantic mood.

				<div class="floatright">(https://img00.deviantart.net/9350/i/2013/067/7/5/prince_ivan_wolf_by_mad_sama-d5xbtav.jpg)</div>Auren untied the rope that hung his cape over his shoulders, letting it hang loosely as he took a few steps, standing by a table near the mirror. "You're the first wife I ever had, I can hardly be considered a dutiful husband if I didn't make sure you were comfortable."&nbsp; It was his first time hearing her speak, and to be honest he found it a bit reassuring, despite how her eyes suddenly shifted into a yellow color and catlike shape.<br><br>He smiled nostalgically.&nbsp; "I already feel quite welcome.&nbsp; In fact... this was my own room, as a child.&nbsp; That's why it's the only one in this hall with a fireplace... I always liked to read late, or at least have someone read to me."&nbsp; <br><br>He realized his voice was trailing off and cleared his throat.&nbsp; "At any rate, I hope it's to your liking."&nbsp; And then, more quietly but still quite easy to make out.&nbsp; "Especially the bed."

				<br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/Og34CFR.png)</div><br><strong>Odell the White</strong><br><strong>Location:</strong> Odell's bedroom<br><strong>With:</strong> Auren<br><strong>Time:</strong> after the wedding<br><hr><br>Odell found herself smirking a bit, that's right, she was his <em>first</em> wife wasn't she? Granted it had been a status afforded to her purely due to the impracticality of conducting the other ceremonies from horseback, thus her's needed to get gotten out of the way quickly, but that didn't change the fact that she was in fact his <em>first</em>, "well it is good to know I've married a dutiful man" she cooed, shimmering fire dancing just behind her golden eyes. <br><br>Again couldn't help but feel a strange tingle of pride, the most fatal of all dragon virtues, at being told this was his old room. She did not know if this had been designed this way just to make her feel special, or if it was a happy accident or what, but she enjoyed it non the less, "Oh...so this is a fire place then? I had never seen one before" she mused, leaning forward and gazing curiously at the little stone window set with wood, a dragon obviously not needing a secondary source of warmth. Suddenly she gave a quick puff of her lips, as if blowing a kiss, and spat out a lick of flame that hit the logs and caused a roaring fire to spring to life instantly, the room filling with a gentle warmth as the flames danced and crackled, the very edges of the fire shimmering in ever shifting hues of color, hinting at the more arcane nature of dragon's fire. Her ability to breath fire fortunately not one of the things lost in her humanization, though whether Auren would find the display awing or intimidating she did not know, but she smiled at him never the less. <br><br>Odell gave a small nod as he inquired if it was to her likings, as it did suit her just fine. However when he mentioned the bed a small blush dusted across the towering woman's cheeks, "well, about that I can't be certain..." she trailed off, putting on a bold front as she leaned forward so that she was finally eye to eye with her husband for the first time, eyes shimmering the fire light like twin pools of molten gold, "...You see I've never actually had a bed before...I can't say I eve know how to properly use it..." she cooed softly, leaving the obvious suggestion that someone might be needed to teach her unspoken...

				<div class="floatright">(https://img00.deviantart.net/9350/i/2013/067/7/5/prince_ivan_wolf_by_mad_sama-d5xbtav.jpg)</div>Auren returned her smirk with one of his own, finally casting his cape down on a chair as she leaned toward the fireplace.&nbsp; <br><br>He pursed his lips in a restrained "Oo," expression as she lit the fire with a gentle puff.&nbsp; He straightened his clothes as he walked closer, returning her smile and letting him know she had his full approval.&nbsp; Fortunately, that wasn't part of the game, she had legitimately been more than he could have hoped for since the words "dragon princess" had first conjured up a series of horror scenarios in his brain.&nbsp; Even with the headaches her people were causing, to have wound up with such a graceful, ladylike wife out of such an arrangement was a blessing he couldn't overlook.<br><br>He rolled on his heels slightly as she leaned up to him, her size making her seem to get close a lot faster than one expected.&nbsp; Still, when he saw his face reflected in her eyes, the expression he wore was a pleased one.&nbsp; "If you take as naturally to it as fireplaces, you'll be an expert in no time," he said, tilting his head.&nbsp; He tried to think of a clever way to continue--maybe "Besides beds and fires there's only one other way to keep warm," but held back, not wanting to go to far with the jokes and come across as immature.&nbsp; <br><br>"Now that we're married... I'm sure the two of us will both learn a great many things," he said, picking back up after a pause and taking a step closer, the fie now at his back.&nbsp; He reached for her hand and took it in his own, rubbing the smooth, human-like part of her pale skin in his fingers.

				<br><div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/Og34CFR.png)</div><br><strong>Odell the White</strong><br><strong>Location:</strong> Odell's bedroom<br><strong>With:</strong> Auren<br><strong>Time:</strong> after the wedding<br><hr><br>Odell found herself cocking her head in synch with Auren so their gaze would not be broken, almost like an animal mirroring it's next kill. There was a strange tension that rouse from the woman, somehow seeming to project a certain looming dominance yet an anxious frailty at the same time. It was perhaps a result of her conflicting nature, after all a human woman was often prey before their masculine lovers, but a dragon was always a predator in all things. It would leave the prince unsure whether she was moments away from pouncing or submitting herself to him fully, "does my lord require warmth then...?" she cooed softly.<br><br>As Auren took Odell's hand he would find the warmth he looked for, as if there were soft embers burning just below her pale skin, her body's impressive heat betraying her more "snowy" appearance. Great muscles tensed tightly as he touched her, the eye contact still unbroken, before slowly uncoiling and relaxing again. Her first time being touched by a man...so far so good, "many thing indeed..." she whispered, reaching forward with her free hand and pressing it against his chest, her turn to make a move. Long, slender fingers traced up and down the man's torso, easily triple the size of any hand that had touched him before, yet still proportionate enough to look lovely and feminine. Her finger tips felt like warm stones as they trailed up and down the man's body, tracing intricate yet nonsensical patterns across him, the heat against his chest following along said trails. <br><br>In another sudden act of boldness Odell would break her hand away from Auren's, both hands entwining the man and pulling him closer to her. Without a word she began to pluck at the strings and buttons that held his royal raiment together, eyeing his body curiously as she stripped him down, almost like a girl playing with a doll. At first Odell had been worried about handling him in such a way, afraid that she might break the tiny creature, but as she pressed down into him she found his flesh surprisingly strong and enduring, not so fragile as she had feared, "you have a fine physique my lord..." she complemented as she peeled away his tunic, revealing his bare chest to her, "though at the risk of sounding crude I believe there may be some...<em>difficulties</em>...if you planned to consummate our marriage tonight..." she remarked, suddenly standing up to her full height to properly demonstrate what she meant, the tall, strapping young prince just barely coming up to her stomach, "for instance I would imagine you would not want me on top..." she said, letting out a small chuckle at her little joke, the idea of several hundreds of pounds of woman crashing down on him probably not a pleasant one.

				<div class="floatright">(https://img00.deviantart.net/9350/i/2013/067/7/5/prince_ivan_wolf_by_mad_sama-d5xbtav.jpg)</div>Auren played it relatively cool as he was jerked closer, laughing at the surprise and then regaining his balance even as he watched her begin to undress him, her huge hands making him feel like he was being gently stroked by either a feisty crowd of servants or a very loving bear.<br><br>Of course, fair was fair.&nbsp; As she took a peek at his broad chest--dark hair over tone muscle with a single long hunting scar over one breast-- he made a whistling shape with his lips, looking away and then quickly back to pull her own clothes out of the way for a brief second, her gown fluttering back down over her legs as he repressed his laughter.&nbsp; "You're quite shapely yourself," he responded.&nbsp; He found it deeply amusing how she seemed to hold the best courtly etiquette one moment--no doubt her elven tutor--but the next would act as if she had never seen another person before without realizing it.<br><br>"Whatever obstacles may appear, I have no doubts will be overcome." He boasted.&nbsp; "After all, earlier today you took an oath to assist me against whatever might stand against us," he ran his arm up her leg, at least half of it, then squeezed her hip bone from behind, holding his arm straight out to do so.&nbsp; "And frankly," he added, "I'm more than happy to try from wherever you'd like."

She was still two or three heads taller than him from this position, but it allowed her to lean down and pull her husband into a small kiss. Though unlike at the ceremony this was not some quick, chaste, ceremonial kiss, it was the real thing, her large, soft lips pressing against Auren's, the very tip of her tongue slipping into his mouth to lap at his own. It obviously wasn't the same kind of deep, full on kiss he could share with someone his own size, but after a few awkward moments of shifting lips and tongues they seemed to find something manageable. <br><br>Odell broke from the kiss with a wet little "mwuah", the dragoness panting softly as her heart thundered in her chest, the temperature of the room noticeably rising, and not because of the fire place, "shall we then?" Odell whispered, reaching down to gather up the great folds of her furry dress, slowly lifting the garment up over her head, a task that normally would have been reserved for the husband to do, but due to the garment's sheer size, weight, and unwieldiness he likely would not have been much help with removing it.&nbsp; A moment later Odell was knelt before him, stripped down to her barest form. Her form was mostly human, long expanses of silky smooth skin with small islands of porcelain scales sprinkled here and there, most prominently around her neck, forming a collar of scales around it, and her forehead where a small crown of horns rested on her brow. Her fluffy tail had wrapped around her waist to her front, dipping between her thighs to conceal her sex from him. <br><br>Rising up Odell moved back onto the bed, which creaked slightly as her weight shifted across it, making it clear this would be no quiet affair. She laid herself down across her side, her posture neither completely submissive nor too dominant, an inviting waggle of her finger drawing the prince in to join her. ""coming my king?" she cooed, her tail finally sliding out of the way to reveal the plump lips of her pussy, already moist with arousal and awaiting her first touch of a man. <br>&nbsp;<br>

Ultimately she found herself leaning back as he said, after all while she knew the basics of how reproduction worked, she had no real knowledge beyond those basics, let alone experience. Auren seemed to know what he was doing, perhaps he had done this before with someone else. If he did she supposed it made sense to allow him to take the lead (of course if she had known his experience came from being a sister fucker she may have thought differently).<br><br>However while she did lay back, her golden eyes remained open and fully transfixed on what Auren was doing. If she were to correct her own ignorance on the finer points of love making then she'd have to actually pay attention to what he was doing, plus she was not one to cower away or advert her gaze from anything. The dragoness breathlessly parted her legs as Auren slid in between them, the soft feeling of skin gliding against skin causing a moist heat to swell within her loins. Her skin tingled where his hands touched her, her unflinching gaze becoming heavy and lidded, Odell gently nudging her body so that his hand would slide in closer towards her sex, her body instinctively yearning for a more direct touch.

				<div class="floatright">(https://img00.deviantart.net/9350/i/2013/067/7/5/prince_ivan_wolf_by_mad_sama-d5xbtav.jpg)</div>While the incest was easily the most unusual and discretely kept secret of Auren's past sex life, it was entirely expected for him to have some sexual experience with his age and background.&nbsp; After all, he had been raised not only in the seat of power for a vast empire, but right in the midst of an expansive harem.&nbsp; It was hardly a recipe for celibacy and prudishness--it would have been highly unusual, and in many cases outright discouraged, if as he grew into a man he hadn't adopted a somewhat libertine lifestyle.<br><br>But that was neither here nor there.&nbsp; At this moment, Auren's task was to become the first Prince to consummate marriage with someone of dragon blood, and it was a tall task indeed (no pun intended).<br><br>He felt her gaze even as his eyes moved down her stomach and focused on her sex.&nbsp; Whereas she felt the warmth of his skin brushing against hers, to him the fire-breathing creature's body seemed to positively radiate heat, were it summer he probably wouldn't be able to cuddle with her without breaking into a sweat.&nbsp; But she was still shapely, and he admired her thick powerful thighs as he nestled between them, focusing on her lightly colored lips.&nbsp; <br><br>Gently, he stroked her with two fingers, feeling her heat on their tips and looking to see if she was wet, brushing his fingertips against his thumb after a few gentle strokes.&nbsp; Satisfied, he closed his eyes and, gripping her strong legs with his fingers where her thighs met her rear, opened his mouth and ran his wet tongue up the glistening lips, pressing the muscle flat and moving slowly up from the bottom.&nbsp; This he did twice more before, tilting his head downward under his messy black hair, he enveloped her clit in his mouth, rolling his tongue in a circle as the hot nub was pressed downward by the soft muscle and he gently applied a little bit of suction with his mouth.
