Not chained by kings, but destiny.

That was a powerful chapter for Skylar.

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 66: Free Will

    He sees within a fire the same,A soul unbowed by blood or name.And she, in him, the sky set free,Not chained by kings, but destiny.SkylarWhile Ryuki and I bathe, I think about what he said. Can I really harness the power of the thunder?I look at where Cyryl is flying in the air around Bynjym's head. They’re playfully snapping at each other. I suddenly realize that she's nearly three-quarters of his size. Before I know it, she'll be a fully matured dragon.Rather than think about that, I focus on what Ryuki said. What would power like that look like? I know I’m getting stronger because I’m bonded to Cyryl. I also know that eventually, she’ll be stronger than Bynjym and he’s a very powerful dragon.“What’s going on in that intelligent mind of yours, Skylar?” Ryuki asks, pulling me to him.I wrap my legs around his waist, tracing the now familiar lines of his muscular body.“The power that you spoke of … do you really think I could pull from all the dragons?”“I think it’s somethin

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 65: Power

    The rider sees the fire within,A rebel soul, a kindred kin.Though blood may mark her royal name,Her heart has fled the throne of shame.RyukiAs expected, Skylar was barely able to walk the day after Bynjym attacked the two scouting parties. However, Skylar being the queen she is, insisted that I sit her near the hatchlings so she could encourage them to start trying to fly.I’m not sure if she realized how competitive her dragon is or if she was just trying to get the hatchlings to start practicing flight, but Cyryl came over and made sure that she rose higher and stayed in the air longer than any of her clutch mates.Skylar and I made sure to clap the longest and loudest for her.Since Shao is gone with Mara, there’s no one to argue about Skylar and me sleeping together. Mihai and Dion have no chance of flying Cyryl. If Pytryck had a rider, that person could conceivably try to keep Skylar and I from getting closer so it doesn’t impact Cyryl’s mating flight. But he doesn’t have a r

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 64: Weakness

    So cloak and dagger, hood and knife,She walks the path, the dragon’s life.By torchless trail and starless ridge,She dares the depths, to cross the bridge.SkylarI’m not sure Ryuki realized that Cyryl was blowing her fire just as much as Bynjym. Hers isn’t as strong as his, nor does it extend as far because she’s still young, but she is already showing her ferocity when it comes to protecting the thunder.When we got to Kythyr’s nest, Bynjym found another scouting party. Yntyn may be a weak silver by silver standards, but he is still more agile than the lesser ranked dragons. He, Bynjym, and Cyryl were able to take out the scouts much faster which was good because the muscles in my legs were screaming after riding Bynjym through two rounds of aerial aeronautics. If it wasn’t for Ryuki’s strong arms around my waist, holding me to Bynjym’s back, I would have surely lost my seat.‘You did very well. Once I’m strong enough, we will practice every day,’ Cyryl says, crooning at me.“Bynjy

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 63: Nests and Scouts

    For kings and queens, their hunger wide,Would trade all love to mount and ride.They scorn the bond, they steal by night,To claim the sky through wrongful right.Ryuki‘Our queen did very well,’ Bynjym says proudly.He’s right. It’s natural to panic when you can’t breathe, but she didn't.It was Bynjym’s first lesson to me, that a dragon will never let their rider die, that kept me from panicking when he first took me up so high in the sky. It takes practice to adjust to the thinner air, but it also requires complete and absolute trust in your dragon.It was one of many difficult lessons Bynjym taught me. I had to learn to trust him implicitly with my life and to know that he would never let anything or anyone harm me, even if protecting me kills him.It’s an immense responsibility for a dragon rider. It’s one of the reasons I despise the royals so much. They want the power that comes from being a rider, but they don’t understand the responsibility that goes along with it.The dragon

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 62: Lack of Oxygen

    The dragons, proud and fierce in flight,Guard ancient truths and sacred right.Their eggs are gems of breath and flame,Yet stolen now in power’s name.SkylarNow that I’ve been given control of my own life, I’m finding that I really enjoy having control. Ryuki was right, I loved being on top.I wasn’t exactly sure what he meant about riding his face, but I learned quickly and I found it extremely erotic to watch him watch me as he made me come.Then he helped me get a rhythm of riding him and that was really fun. I liked trying different speeds, swirling my hips, sliding back and forth, then bouncing on him until I made both of us come multiple times. I felt very powerful watching as I made a strong man like Ryuki come. Seeing the hungry, possessive look in his eyes as he watched me just added to my overall pleasure.The power of my orgasms had woken Cyryl, and she and Bynjym had pushed into our minds again, making me come so hard I screamed almost as loudly as Bynjym roared.‘Trust

  • The Dragon Thief   Chapter 61: Beginning to Fly

    By fate or star or twist of thread,To Skylar’s path, this rider’s led.He meets the thief beneath the moon,A blade, a breath, a shadowed boon.RyukiNever in my life have I experienced anything like what I just experienced with Skylar. I knew I wanted her. I know Bynjym wants Cyryl. But what we just experienced transcended anything that should be humanly possible.‘Was that so powerful because you and Cyryl were involved?’ I ask Bynjym as I carefully slide out of Skylar.I felt her entire body go lax after she passed out from the force of her orgasm. When Cyryl is older, that won’t happen. Bynjym held onto my consciousness which is the only reason I didn’t join Skylar in her blissful unconsciousness.‘It was partly because we were involved and partly because our queen is so powerful. Dragons don’t usually get involved when their humans mate, but Cyryl and Skylar are very bonded already. Cyryl and I both felt Skylar’s desire to mate, which drew us into your consciousness.’I carefully
