Ugh! I was so bored. Since my friends started finding their sparks, the Fae realm hadn’t been exciting. Yeah, I could still jump into an orgy here or there, but without my friends, the joy was gone. Could I be jealous? I thought.

“No, nope, not jealous,” I said to myself, shaking my head.

I can fuck whatever guy I want without having to be concerned with feelings. I shuddered at the thought of being tied to one man for the rest of my life. If I were lucky, I’d have multiple sparks—a whole harem of men.

I huffed and scowled. Damn, I was bored! Closing my eyes, I allowed my magic to locate my best friend, Gavin. After finding him, I teleported to his location.

“Zin, what the fuck! How many times have we told you not to appear in our room!” Gavin shouted.

I opened my eyes and grinned. Gavin was currently being impaled by Dimitri’s long thick cock.

“It seems I came at the perfect time,” I said, rubbing my hardening dick through my pants.

Dimitri growled. “Zin, you have one second to get out of here.”

Gavin bit his lip and let loose a muffled moan as Dimitri shifted behind him. My smile broadened. I loved watching. It was my favorite thing to do.

“Oh fuck!” I yelled as Gavin hurled an energy ball at me.

I quickly dodged the blast and blinked out of the room to the other side of the door. “You’re no fun!” I shouted.

“Catch Gavin and Dimitri going at it again?”

I squealed as I turned around. “Thank the Fates! Someone that won't yell at me.”

I ran and hugged my friend Alvner. He was an elven fae. Like most elven, he was tall, blond-haired, and toned with porcelain skin and pointy ears. Unlike me, an imp fae who was short, blue skin and bluish green hair.

Avner lucked out with having three sparks—even better, his dragon didn’t mind me watching. I pulled back from the hug and tilted my head.

“What are on earth are you wearing?” I asked.

“Do you like it? It’s my Halloween costume,” Alvner replied.

Alvner held out his arms and spun around. I didn’t know what Halloween was, but I most definitely approved. He was shirtless and wore skimpy white shorts that hugged his body. Alvner also sported a pair of sparkly fairy wings.

“I love it! What’s Halloween?”

Alvner broke out into one of the biggest smiles I’d ever seen him give. “It’s only like the best time of the year. Bani told us we can dress up and keep our ears and eyes normal— no need to glamour.”

“No need to glamour? What? Why? How long?” I asked.

This was game-changing. Every time I came to the human realm or if any fae went to the mortal realm. We had to hide our true selves.

“I don’t know why for sure. Something about warding off evil spirits and getting candy. But it lasts one night. So, Dain, Fafner, and I are going as fairies, and Bani is going as a dragon. But not a dragon, dragon. He’s just going to show off his beautiful white scales and wear some tight undies,” Alvner explained.

My mouth hung open, and my mind raced with the possibilities. I can interact with humans as myself, and not the little punk rocker I always glamoured.

“Just to make sure I understand this correctly. I can go out into the human realm as me, tonight? And I won’t get in trouble?” I asked.

Avner nodded his head rapidly. “Yes! Isn’t it great! We still can’t do magic in front of them, but we can be ourselves. Oh, and there’s a big party at the Renegade tonight! The vampires are going all out.”

“When? Where? And what should I wear?” I asked with a grin.

Alvner laughed and grabbed my hand. I joined in the laughter as we ran down the hall. I was going to love Halloween!

❖

I giggled with glee and walked down the stairs. I was wearing a brown loincloth and nothing else. The brown offset my blue skin perfectly. I looked like an actual goblin or imp. I loved it.

"Holy Shit! What the heck do you think you're doing, Zin?" Gavin asked.

"It's my Halloween costume! You like?"

I twirled around as Alvner did early and stopped in front of my friend. My smile slipped from my face as I noticed Gavin's frown.

"Who told you about Halloween?"

"I did. Do you like his costume?" Alvner asked, coming down the stairs with his mates.

"What are all you doing? Why are you all dressed like this? You're not thinking of going out like this, are you?" Gavin placed his hands on his hips, and I could flee his unease fill the room.

Gavin was half-fae and half-witch. He was also our prince. His father ruled all fae. If he said we couldn’t go, then we couldn’t go.

"Gavin, it's okay. Master Stephen is having a Halloween party at the coven. They'll be fine," Krispin said.

Krispin was the king of all dragons and ruler of those here—even Gavin swore allegiance to him in this domain. Gavin turned to face Krispin.

"But like this? What about the humans?" Gavin asked.

"They'll think they're elaborate costumes. It's one night. They won't cause too much trouble," Krispin said, turning a stern gaze on me.

"Message received hot stuff. No trouble. That doesn't include sex, does it?" I asked.

The king's brother Roarke smothered a laugh, and Krispin rolled his eyes. "No. But be safe with sex too. No need to impregnate a human."

"Ew, that would mean I'd have to sleep with a woman. No thanks, gorgeous." I turned to face Gavin. "So, can we go?"

Gavin sighed. "Don't get into too much trouble, Zin. Humans tend to lose their inhibitions on Halloween."

"Perfect!"

❖

The music was blaring, and the bass was thumping. I inhaled deep. The smell of sex and sweat filled the air, and my cock stirred. That smell was heaven to me. This party was terrific, crowds of half-naked men dancing and rubbing up on each other.

I loved all the costumes. Some wore leather, some were sexy cops and doctors, while others were angels and devils. I walked through the crowd, and countless men turned to stare. My eyes were glowing their green, and my ears were still pointed.

"That's an awesome costume," a man said.

I twirled around and grinned. The man was taller than me, like most men. He had a slender build, killer abs, dark brown hair, and stunning blue eyes. He was wearing a black cape and mask, as well as tight black leather shorts.

I stepped close to him, and I went to trail my fingers across his naked chest. I pulled my hand back as soon as I touched his skin. My eyes widened, and my heart pounded. No way! It can't be!

He smiled down at me and tilted his head. "Too hot for you, sexy?"

"Not at all," I replied with a quiver in my voice.

I placed my hand on his milky skin and groaned. It was true. I felt it. This was my spark. I reached up and wrapped my hands around his neck. I brought his lips to mine. He moaned into the kiss and pulled me into an embrace.

I groaned and felt his tongue push against my lips, demanding entry. I happily obliged. He roughly kissed his lips, and our tongues dueled for dominance. I broke the kiss and heaved a breath of air. That kiss took my breath away, and I wanted more.

"Sorry, I-I," My spark said.

"Nothing to be sorry for. My name's Zin. What's your name?" I asked, still catching my breath.

"My name's Jon, most people call me—"

"Jonnie!" A large blond-haired man yelled.

He was well built and wearing some kind of uniform. It was some sort of sport, football—I think. Dimitri had tried to explain, but I was too distracted by all the tight asses in the air. I looked back to my spark, and he wore a pained expression.

"Dirk. What do you want?" Jon asked.

Dirk smirked. "You know what I want. Come on. I'll let you suck my dick. It will be fun. Aiden and Ron will be there too. You can be the team whore."

He reached out and grabbed Jonnie's arm, causing my mate to flinch. Jonnie tried to pull out of Dirk's grasp but couldn't break free. An anger like I'd never felt before pulsed through my veins, and I roared, throwing an energy ball at the huge blond.

Dirk yelped and staggered back, rubbing his chest. "Leave him alone," I said through clenched teeth.

"Who the fuck are you? You little twerp. What the fuck was that? I’ll fucking kick your ass," Dirk said.

I allowed my magic to pulse, and I felt my power grow brighter. "You don't want any of this. Runaway now."

"Zin. What's going on?" Roarke asked, stepping up beside me. "You know what Krispin said."

"This person is harassing my spark," I replied.

"Holy Shit! Your Spark? Really?"

I nodded, and Jonnie's brow scrunched in confusion while Dirk looked between Roarke and me.

"Go. We'll handle this guy," Devin Roarke's mate said.

"Let's go grab a table," I said, grabbing Jonnie's hand.

"Hey, what the hell?" Dirk yelled, but I ignored him and pulled Jonnie away. I scanned the room for an open spot, but all the tables were full.

"Come on," I said, pulling Jonnie across the floor.

I noticed Basil the second in command of the coven and veered toward the gorgeous giant of a vampire.

"Zin, what are you doing?" Basil asked with a smirk.

"Hey Bas, all the tables are taken. Is there any place I can take my spark to chat for a bit," I replied?

Basils eyes widened. "Your spark! Holy shit! Yeah, you can take him up to the VIP area. Master Stephen won't need it until later."

Basil grabbed the velvet rope and pulled it back, granting us access to the stairs. I looked at my spark, and his eyes were the size of silver dollars and his mouth hung open in shock.

"Thanks, Bas!" I said, grabbing Jonnie's hand again.

I led Jonnie up the stairs, and onto the landing. The room opened to a large area with its own bar and a few tables with huge circular booths. It overlooked the club but was still tucked away from view. You'd have to be flying to see inside. It was a perfect place to get to know my mate.

I nudged Jonnie toward the booth, and he settled in. Grabbing the chilling champagne, I poured two glasses. The master would just need to get another bottle, I thought.

"So Zin, you must come here a lot to be able to come up to the VIP lounge. I heard it was restricted to only a select few. Not even celebrities can get up here," Jonnie said.

I shrugged. "I've been here a time or two, but it's my first time I've been allowed up here."

"You must know that Basil guy well. Did you fuck him?" Jon asked with a scowl.

"I'll admit that I did. I love sex. I particularly like to watch, but if you don't want me to watch others or don't want to share. I'll be okay with that because I got you now," I replied.

Jonnie’s eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. "Um… you said that like you want more than sex?"

"I want it all."

I lunged forward and captured his lips once more. He groaned into my mouth as I massaged his cock with my hand. I pushed back when he wrapped his hand around my throbbing shaft.

"Holy shit! You went all out. Even your dick is blue," Jonnie said with a chuckle. His eyes glistened with lust, and he licked his lips.

"Suck my dick, baby," I said.

Jon leaned forward and licked my head tentatively. He licked up and down my veiny shaft when without warning, he sucked me deep into his warm mouth. I cried out in ecstasy. He moaned, and his hands trailed my naked chest.

"God, your fucking mouth," I said, pressing Jon's head further down my shaft.

He bobbed his head up and down his velvety throat. I shivered under his skillful mouth. I wanted more. I hated that he still had clothes on. He needed to be naked—now.

I knew I shouldn't do it, but I couldn't stop myself. I snapped my fingers, and Jonnie's clothes disappeared. My spark didn't appear to notice. He was too engrossed on my pulsing dick.

I groaned, feeling the tingles of my orgasm begin to flow through my body. I didn't want to come like this. I wanted to come inside my mate. I pulled his head off my cock and jumped to my feet. "Bend over, let me see that tight ass."

I stroked my hard dick as he hurried to comply. He was stunning, slender, and graceful. "So pretty," I said.

I leaned forward and spread Jonnie's cheeks. I buried my head feasting in on his delicious hole. He writhed and moaned at my actions. I pressed my finger and massaged his tight ring. I felt his muscles loosen at my touch, and I slipped my finger in his warm chute. He cried out at the intrusion, and I grinned.

I loved to hear him scream. I wanted to hear more. I crocked my finger and rubbed his special bundle of nerves.

"Holy fucking shit! Yes!" Jonnie cried.

I added another finger and continued to stretch him. After three fingers, I couldn't wait for anymore. I needed in him. I pulled my hand free, and he cried in protest. I flipped him over onto the booth. I raised his ass and snapped my fingers. I felt my cock tingle with the slick lube.

I pressed forward into his warm, snug passage. He moaned as I slid down until my cock was fully sheathed. I looked down at my beautiful mate. His eyes were wide, and pleasure was etched on his face.

"Your eyes. They're glowing. How?" Jonnie asked in wonder.

"I am an imp, and you are my mate—my spark—the one made for me. I promise always to protect and love you. This is my oath as a Fae. Do you accept?" I asked the words I never in this life thought I would ever utter.

Jonnie didn't speak, and I didn't breathe. He raised his hand gently stroked my hair from my face. "I accept."

I growled in victory and thrust out and in, fucking him like a man possessed. I needed him. I needed to complete him. I needed us to be one. I felt his chute ass tighten around my shaft and knew he was close.

I jerked forward and bit his neck. Green energy swirled around our bodies, and I felt our souls soldering into one. He stiffened beneath me and cried out. His cock pulsed between our bodies, splashing warm cum over our stomachs.

I lifted my head and roared. My body stiffened, and my cock pulsed, filling him, marking him on the inside as I had done on the out. A pulse of magic shot out from around us, splintering and hitting our chests. I felt our hearts synchronize. We were mated.

I leaned down and kissed his beautiful lips. After millennia, I had found my spark, and it was marvelous. I pulled back and collapsed to the side. Closing my eyes, my breath leveled. Slowly, I came down from the high, until I felt sleep take me.

❖

“Zin, you here?” A voice called.

I opened my eyes and looked around. Where was Jonnie? Why was I home? How did I get here?

“Hey, I can’t believe you’re sleeping. You were so excited about the party. Get up and get dressed. It going to be a fun night,” Gavin said, stepping into my room.

I tilted my head. Wait, it didn’t happen? Was it all a dream? I jerked my head up and raced to the mirror. Pulling off my shirt, I admired my chest. My shoulders slumped, and I sighed. No mark. It was a dream.

“Hey, are you okay?” Gavin asked.

I took a deep breath and smiled. “Yeah. I can’t believe I fell asleep. I’ll be ready in a few.”

Gavin stared at me then nodded. “Okay, I’ll see you in a few. This is going to be the best Halloween ever!”

Gavin turned and ran from the room, and I peered back at the mirror. It felt so real. I sighed and closed my eyes. Jonnie’s face appeared in my mind. Maybe someday you’ll be real. Until then, I’ll wait and remember the best Halloween dream ever.

The End.

An Imp’s Spring Break Fantasy

A High Garden Dragons Short Story

C.K. Noel

“I thought you said we’d have fun on the beach, and there’d be a ton of hot guys,” I said, scowling at the pouring rain.

“Don’t worry. It’s just a Florida spring shower,” Brick replied. “We’ll be on the beach with all the college hotties in no time.”

Brick was an alligator shifter, and like me, he loved sex and was in no rush to meet his mate. There were too many men and so little time. We’d bonded over that fact and decided to take this trip to get away from all the happy couples.

Recently, all my friends and sex partners had started meeting their mates and settling down. They’ve even gone as far as having kids. I shivered at the idea of having offspring. I glanced back at Brick, who was resting on the hotel’s king-sized bed.

“Tell me more about spring break,” I said.

Brick grinned, and his dark eyes twinkled. “It’s one of the best times of the year for South Breach. Young humans flock to the beach from their schools. It’s endless nights of drinking, partying, and fucking. It’s incredible.”

I smiled. The orgies of the Fae realm had gotten stale. This was a new adventure. I looked back out at the rain and sighed.

“I wish it’d stop raining. I want to go to the beach now,” I said.

“Rest up. Take a nap. And before you know it, we’ll be having fun.”

I sighed again, giving a shrug as I lay down on the bed. Brick was right. If spring break was as fun as he said, I’d need my energy. Brick pulled me into his arms. We’d fooled around, and I enjoyed being his little spoon. I glanced up at him.

“Rest, we’ll be out fucking in no time,” he whispered right before I closed my eyes.

❖

“Zin,” a soft voice said.

Slowly opening my eyes, I focused on the voice and noticed Brick beaming broadly.

“Wake up, sleepyhead,” Brick sang. “The rain has stopped, the sun is shining, and the beach is beginning to fill.”

Beach, rain, beginning to fill? I thought, shaking my head. Excitement surged through me as my sleepy brain caught up to what Brick was saying. With a squeal, I leaped out of bed. I’d finally understand the hype of spring break.

“Come on. What are we waiting for?” I asked, rushing toward the door.

A strong hand landed on my shoulder, bringing me to a halt. “Whoa! Hold up there, small fry!”

I whipped around and glared at Brick. I was sensitive about my height. Even though I was average for an imp at five feet, I was still shorter than most people. “I told you not to make small jokes or call me nicknames.”

“Sorry, I forgot, and it just slipped out,” Brick replied.

“Fine. Why d’you stop me?” I asked, crossing my arms.

“Gavin, King Krispin, and Alpha James all said I have to keep an eye on you. I need to make sure you don’t cause any problems.”

I growled in frustration. “I’m old enough to watch over myself. Yes, I like to have fun, but I know not to do anything stupid. Geez, I commanded armies; I can handle humans.”

“Armies?”

“Yes, armies. It was a long time ago. I can take care of myself. I don’t need a keeper,” I said petulantly.

“Zin, look down,” Brick said.

I did as he asked, scowling in confusion at what I was supposed to be looking at. Nothing was out of order; I looked fine. “Okay…what am I looking at?”

Brick rolled his eyes. “Zin, you’re still blue. As crazy as spring break can get, there aren’t blue-skinned beings running around.”

Damn. He was right. I’d almost run out of here without my glamor. That definitely would’ve caused a stir. I lifted my hand and snapped. Instantly, my blue skin was now a dark tan, my sharp teeth had lost their point, and my ears were rounded. I kept my spiky green hair and the gold hoop through my nose, though.

I raised my eyebrows. “Better?”

Brick smiled. “Much, but you may want to put on a swimsuit instead of the leather pants and tight shirt. We’re going to the beach, not the club.”

“What’s a swimsuit? When we swim in the Fae realm, we go naked.”

“Man, after our trip, you’ll have to take me to the Fae realm. But to answer your question, a swimsuit looks like this.” Brick waved his hand down to his legs. He was shirtless and wearing a pair of rainbow-colored short pants that only reached his knees.

“No shirt and colorful little pants?” I asked skeptically.

“Yes. They’re made of a material that quickly dries—feel them,” he replied.

I reached out and ran my fingers over the light material. They were smooth, and my hand slid over the fabric with ease. I pulled back my hand and snapped my fingers again.

“Like this?” I was now dressed nearly identical to Brick, with rainbow-colored shorts and no shirt.

“It’s perfect.” Then Brick winked. “Damn, I forgot you had such a hot little body.”

I ignored the “little” part and smirked. “I’m glad you like it. Is there anything else I need to know, or can we go have fun now?”

Loud music and laughter were filtering into our room, and I was eager to join the festivities.

“Here’s a room key,” Brick said, handing me a plastic card. “You’ll need it to get back in the room, especially if you want to bring someone back here. Also, this hotel is strict, only allowing guests in their pools or cabanas, so you’ll need that to prove you’re staying here. The room’s under my last name, Holt. So if you have any problems and we get separated, you’ll know.”

“I can handle that. I just have one question,” I said.

“Sure, what’s up?”

“I know what a pool is, and I get the room key because I saw you use it. But what’s a cabana?” I asked.

“Come on; I’ll explain on the way down and show you. Let’s go have fun.”

❖

The beach was packed, and I was in awe of all the beautiful young humans. The women wore skimpy pieces of clothing, and most of the men wore swim shorts like Brick and me. Although there were a few men that wore what brick called a “half thong.” They were thin pieces of fabric that covered their cock and not much else, leaving little to the imagination.

Everyone was having a good time laughing, drinking, and swimming. Some rested quietly in the sand while others played volleyball. There was even a competition in which a woman’s white top was wet, showing her enormous breasts. I could see other women in white standing near the stage. The one with the best “rack,” as Brick put it, won.

I’d never witnessed humans behaving so freely or having so much pleasure. I used to think of them as stuffy and prudish, but these kids knew how to have a good time. Brick went to chat with some guys while I talked with a lovely woman. Most of my friends gravitated toward men, and so did I, but I had no qualms about sleeping with women. Both were enjoyable to me.

“I’ll go get us some drinks,” I said, and the woman, Tina, giggled and nodded.

As I was walking toward where I’d seen Brick getting drinks earlier, I flew to the ground.

“Oh, shit. I’m so sorry,” a deep voice said.

I shook my head and steadied myself, ready to attack the one who’d pushed me. Strong hands touched my arms, and a shot of electricity pulsed through my body. I lifted my gaze, and stunning blue eyes greeted me.

My heart stopped. It was him—my spark, my fated mate from my dreams. He had the same electric blue eyes, short brown hair, and abs I wanted to run my hands over. His milky white flesh was tinted pink, and his cheeks were reddened by the sun. He wore black swim trunks and thong sandals. The man I’ve fantasized about was here, in the flesh.

“Are you okay?” he asked. “I’m so sorry. Wasn’t watching where I was going.””

I nodded. “I’m okay. Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. I wasn’t paying attention. Some guys get stupid if you bump into them, so thanks for not being a dick. I’ve had a shitty vacation already. I didn’t need to add to it.”

Rising to my feet, I asked, “How so? Aren’t you having fun? It is spring break, after all.”

My spark’s hands rushed over my body, and I trembled as he brushed the sand from my flesh. I wanted to feel his hands on me forever. When he pulled back and dropped his arms to his sides, I instantly missed his touch.

“You don’t want to hear about it. I better go.” He bit his lip and rubbed a hand over the back of his neck. “I’m really sorry about running you down.”

I grabbed his hand. “I’d love to hear your story.” All thoughts of the woman I’d been chatting up—what was her name again?—were gone. “Let’s get out of this madness and have a drink.”

He looked down at our joined hands before slowly nodding. “If you’re sure.”

“I’m sure. My name’s Zin, by the way,” I said, pulling him across the hot beach toward my hotel.

“Jonnie. My name’s Jonnie. Zin’s an interesting name. I feel like I’ve heard it before,” he said before mumbling under his breath, “Like I’ve met you before.”

I glanced back at him. Did he have similar dreams? Did he meet me in the world of sleep? Had Fate prepared him?

“Excuse me. Only guests are allowed on the pool deck,” an arrogant voice said.

I turned my focus on the source, and a skinny man with short blond hair and a superior sneer greeted me. He wore one of the many hotel uniforms I’d seen when Brick and I first got here. I pulled my card from my pocket and held it up.

“I am a guest here. The room’s under Holt. I want a cabana and some drinks for me and my guest right away,” I demanded.

The man took my card and slid it through a machine. His eyes bulged, and the sneer turned to shock. “Of course, Mr. Holt. Right this way, sir.”

I winked at Jonnie and tugged his hand. His mouth hung open, his expression betraying his surprise, but he followed my lead. We walked around the pool to a straw-covered shelter. It had wicker furniture and secured white linen curtains for walls.

I led Jonnie to one of the cushioned chairs before turning to the hotel employee, saying, “This is perfect. Thank you.”

“Of course, Mr. Holt. What can I get you to drink?” he replied.

I looked at Jonnie, who was smiling as he scanned the area. “What would you like, Jonnie?”

“Um…I don’t…um.”

“Please, whatever you’d like to drink,” I insisted.

“I guess I’ll have a mojito,” Jonnie said.

Sitting close beside Jonnie, I said to the attendant, “I’ll have the same thank you.”

He bowed and left.

“This place is amazing,” Jonnie breathed. “If my friends could see me now. That attendant sure changed his attitude.”

“Yes, Brick said they’d do that when they found out we were staying in the penthouse. Whatever that is,” I added, scooting closer to my spark.

I desired to touch him and feel his soft flesh under my hands. Jonnie glanced down at our closeness and smiled, but the smile didn’t remain. He peered back up at me.

“Who’s Brick?” he asked, a hint of jealousy filling his tone.

I smirked. “He’s just a friend I came to Florida with. I believe he’s playing volleyball. He’s interested in the men there.”

“Oh, okay. You weren’t interested in the volleyball guys?” he prodded. “I know they’re hot.”

“I was talking with some woman at the time,” I replied.

Jonnie recoiled and pulled his hands back. “So…you’re not gay. I’m…I guess I misread the—“

“You didn’t misread anything,” I interrupted. “I like both.”

I couldn’t stop myself and tickled my fingers over Jonnie’s arm down to his thigh. His skin was smooth, and I leaned forward, kissing his shoulder lightly. Jonnie sighed before he leaned down and kissed my waiting lips. Desire and lust rushed through my body, and my cock hardened in an instant.

Jonnie pulled back. Breaking the kiss, he cleared his throat. “I feel like I know you,” he said softly.

“We were meant to be,” I replied and kissed him again.

I moved my hand over his body before landing on my prize, grasping his throbbing shaft through his shorts. Jonnie moaned into the kiss. I loved his response and how he pushed up into my hand. I loosened my grip and pulled down his pants. His slender cock bounced free from its confines, and I immediately began stroking his velvety skin.

Jonnie arched and moaned. “Zin,” he said breathlessly, breaking the kiss again. “What if someone sees?”

He panted harder as I increased my speed, not caring if others saw. I wanted to see–see him lose his control and inhibitions. I wanted him to lose himself at my touch and cry out in ecstasy. He tensed beneath me, his muscular thighs flexing under my touch. I sped up more, knowing he was close.

“Then they will see the most beautiful man in the universe in all his glory,” I whispered into his ear.

Jonnie turned his head and stared at me. His eyes shimmered gold, and he roared in pleasure. I didn’t slow my hand as turret after turret of cum erupted from his cock. It was the most incredible thing I’d ever seen or experienced. I leaned forward and captured his lips again. This was heaven.

“Zin!”

❖

“Zin!”

A rough hand shook my shoulder, and I jerked up. I scanned the room, breathless. What the…? Where…?

“Hey, are you okay? You must have been having one hell of a dream. You’re glowing.”

I glanced at Brick, then looked down. A soft green light surrounded my body. It was a dream. Another dream. Why was Fate teasing me?

“Zin?” Brick said quietly.

I shook my head. “I’m okay. It was…It was nothing. Sorry, I woke you.”

Brick shrugged. “It’s all right. I’m glad you did. The sun is shining. I’m sure the beach will be filling up soon. You ready to have some fun?” he asked.

“Yeah. Spring break. I’m ready. I just need a few minutes,” I told him, rising from the bed.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Brick asked.

I glanced over my shoulder. “I’m fine. Just a crazy dream. I’ll be ready in a few.”

I hurried into the bathroom and closed the door. Staring into the mirror, I thought of Jonnie. The dreams I’d been having. They were so real. He was real. I knew he was. There had to be a reason for it.

“I’ll find you, Jonnie. I’ll find you,” I vowed. But until I did, I would hold on to my spring break fantasy.

The End

Raining Men

A High Garden Dragons Short Story

C.K. Noel

I gazed out the window from my plush pillowtop bed. Florescent pink lightning streaked the dark fuchsia skies, and I huddled closer to my lovers, Dain and Fafner. I hoped their warmth and presence would dispel my anxiety.

I detested the rains of Tulunda. Tulunda was the Fae Realm's stormy season. It was the only time it rained in our world and lasted a month straight—nothing but torrential rain and thunderstorms. It was always a cold and dreary spring. It froze me to my core, and I missed the usual warmth and light of my domain.

A loud snore drew my sight away, and Fafner hugged Dain closer. They loved the rains and always slept soundly. I always endured Tulunda because of the comfort they gave me.

But this year felt different—their presence wasn't enough.

I sighed and gently untangled my arms and legs from their overlapping limbs before climbing from the bed. I picked up a hand-knitted throw blanket and wrapped it around my naked body. Shuffling to the window, I peered out at the dark skies.

The night sky blazed with light once more as another thunderclap rattled the walls. I shivered and pulled the blanket tightly around my shoulders before glancing back at my lovers. Fafner was the strongest and largest of us, and when he wrapped me in his muscular embrace, I felt safe and protected. He was quiet and more reserved, but I knew he'd always be there for Dain and me.

Dain snorted and drew closer to Fafner. I walked over to the bed. Reaching down, I brushed Dain’s long ebony hair from his handsome face. Dain was the dominant of our throuple. He always took charge and had a commanding presence.

I smiled, thinking about how we’d come to be in a relationship. I’d first encountered them at a Satyr orgy. Dain and Fafner had been lovers for over three hundred years. They were committed to one other, but, like most Fae, they’d maintained an open relationship.

They were attractive and powerful; I’d been immediately enamored by them. My initial impression was that they might be my fated mates. Fate, on the other hand, had other ideas. Sadly, they weren’t my sparks.

It didn’t matter to me; the desire I had for them was still strong. So that night, I’d pursued them, having sex with both multiple times in the hopes of satisfying my carnal hunger.

The desire had never faded, and after that night, Dain, Fafner, and I continued to sleep together off and on in a no-strings-attached kind of way. In those moments when we came together, I was in heaven. I wished they were my mates. I’d fallen in love with them. Luckily, they’d fallen in love with me too, and we’d been together ever since—nearly two millennia.

Another burst of thunder shook our small stone cottage, breaking me out of my memories. I turned back to the window and gripped the blanket even tighter.

What was so different this year? I asked myself again. Something had to be different. I needed to do something. I glanced back to Dain and Fafner. Should I wake my loves? I shook my head, then paused. I grinned slowly as a thought entered my mind. That’s it!

I tossed my blanket to the ground and snapped my fingers. A good shirt and jeans instantly clothed me. I was already starting to feel better.

A snore stopped me, and I jerked my attention back to my bed. I didn't want to leave them, but this was the perfect plan to get away from the rains.

I dashed to my dresser and summoned a pen and parchment. My long blond hair draped over my pointed ears as I wrote:

My Loves,

I went to see Gavin. I’ll be back soon.

Alever

I grinned again and set the pen down before turning to face my two sleeping partners. I’d be back, hopefully when the storms had stopped. I closed my eyes and allowed my magic to flow like a river through my body as I pictured my friend and the human realm.

❖

“Alever? What are you doing here?”

As the glow around me faded, I turned and opened my eyes. My heart was already feeling lighter as I looked past my friend out the window. The skies were blue and bright. This was perfect.

“Alever?” Gavin asked again.

I focused on him and smiled. “I came for a visit. I hope that’s okay.”

Gavin’s worried expression softened, and a smile spread across his face. “Of course, that’s not a problem. You’re always welcome. In fact, I should’ve invited you. We’re having people over for a barbeque. Will Fafner and Dain be following you?”

“What’s a barbeque?” I asked, ignoring his question about Fafner and Dain. We hardly ever traveled without one another, especially to the human realm.

“A barbeque is a human social gathering where we eat grilled meat, drink good drinks, and enjoy the company of friends,” Gavin replied.

I scowled at my longtime friend. “Then why didn’t you invite us?”

“I’m sorry, Alever. I blame this pregnancy. It’s given me a bad memory. Please forgive me.”

“I guess I can forgive you. How is my little godson?” I stepped close and touched Gavin’s extended belly.

Gavin had met his spark, a dragon shifter, and the dragons could impregnate their male mates. I always wondered what it’d be like to have children. The thought hadn’t stayed long because I preferred men over women, and I had Fafner and Dain. But now that Gavin was expecting, the old desire was rearing its head.

Gavin didn’t answer right away. He stood to his full height and towered over me by a few inches. His eyes glowed violet as he stared at me. I began to squirm under his scrutiny.

Gavin was the prince of my people. Even more, he was half mage. The power he held was enormous, and beyond any I’d encountered save in Gavin’s father and the dragon king.

Gavin blinked a few times and gave his head a tiny shake before he replied, “Your godson is doing well. It’s a little weird having another life growing inside my body, but it’s also amazing. Did you know that dragon magic manipulates the carrier’s anatomy and creates a womb?”

“Really? That’s incredible. How’d you find out?” I was shocked. I had no idea the magic did that. I knew magic allowed for the pregnancy to happen, but I always thought it used one of the existing organs, like the stomach, not create a brand new one.

“Do you remember the dragon shifter, Aaran?” Gavin asked. I nodded, and he went on. “His mate, Adam, is a doctor and was able to do an ultrasound. It was awesome to be able to see our little one.”

I scowled at my friend again. “Why didn’t you tell me you were doing this? I would’ve come.”

Gavin’s lips slipped into a frown. “I’m sorry, Alever. It happened so fast, and I was excited at the idea of seeing George.”

George? Were they going to name him George? Another thing I’d missed out on? I opened my mouth to give Gavin a piece of my mind—but stopped. He was pregnant, and this was new to him. I didn’t need to add pressure and guilt, no matter how hurt I was.

“Our son’s name is not George,” a deep voice boomed from behind me.

I spun around, and Dimitri entered the room. He walked over to Gavin and pulled him into a kiss. Dimitri was Gavin’s spark, and he was gorgeous. His skin was mocha-colored, he had long black warrior braids, and his eyes were ice blue. His twin dimples made me swoon, and his smile lit up the room. Gavin was a lucky man.

“We need to give him a name that starts with a ‘G.’,” Gavin said. “I was just testing it out.”

“George is a no-go. It doesn’t fit a dragon. We should name him Galen,” Dimitri suggested.

Gavin cringed and shook his head. “It’s too close to my father’s name, Gael.”

“What about Griffin?” I asked, joining in on their back-and-forth.

Dimitri and Gavin turned and faced me. Their heads cocked in thought. Gavin looked back at Dimitri. “That’s not a bad name. What do you think?”

“I like it.” Dimitri nodded and smiled. “Griffin. Yeah. That’s a great name. Thanks, Alever.”

“I think it’s perfect,” Gavin said with a yelp. A bright blue light flashed above us, and I recoiled in surprise at the display of magic.

“I think Griffin likes the name, too,” Gavin said.

“Holy shit! That was the baby?” I asked, freaked out and astonished by the power.

“Yes. He’s been doing little shows of power here and there. He’s going to be stronger than me,” Gavin said.

“That’s a—”

“Dimitri,” an exotic voice cut in. “Lord Dranin asked me to see what was keeping you. Will you be joining us back downstairs?”

My heart raced as I turned around. I immediately felt the spark that rippled through my body, but I had to see for myself. I had to know for sure.

A large muscular man, around the size of Fafner, stood in the doorway. Power radiated from him, and I sensed his dragon aura. He was stunning. He had dark tanned skin and thick black hair that was conservatively styled. As he stared at me, his nose flared, and his eyes widened.

No. This could not be happening. I couldn’t have a mate, especially a dragon. I had Dain and Fafner. I couldn’t let them go.

My spark took a step toward me, and I took a step back. He paused, and his bushy brows drew closer together, his face flushed with confusion.

Gavin cleared his throat, and I snapped out of my trance. I looked at Gavin, who stared at me with concern in his eyes. “Alever, this is Esteban, Lord Tilly’s second. He’s a friend.”

He was more than a friend. He was my fated mate. I returned my gaze to Esteban, who took another step forward. This was too much for me. I couldn’t be here. I squeezed my eyes and allowed my magic to surge.

As much as I wanted to run to Esteban and get to know him, I couldn’t. I couldn’t have a spark. I had Dain and Fafner.

It was my worst nightmare come true. My heart was broken.

❖

I materialized in my room and opened my eyes as thunder sounded. The rains hadn’t stopped, and my heart and thoughts had become as dark and thunderous as the weather.

“Alever, you’re back. We were going to—oh, fuck, yeah! Just like that. Your mouth is heaven, Fafner.”

Dain had his eyes closed and his head pressed against the headboard when I turned around. Fafner had Dain's slender cock down his throat and was giving one of his world-class morning blowjobs. My cock twitched and began to thicken, but the thought of the spark I’d left behind was like a bucket of cold water.

Tears burned in my eyes. I wanted to join Fafner and Dain—to keep them in my life—but I also wanted to keep Esteban. I collapsed to the ground and sobbed. The weight of an impossible decision finally broke my self-control. I didn’t know what I was going to do.

Strong arms lifted me from the ground, and I knew they were Fafner’s. I curled up in his embrace and continued to cry.

“Shh…. We’ve got you. Whoever hurt you will pay,” Dain whispered, and I felt his hand caressing my back.

I shook my head on Fafner’s muscular chest. “No one hurt me. I…I…” I couldn’t say it. How could I tell them?

Fafner ushered us to the bedside and set us down. Dain crawled in beside us and wrapped his arm around Fafner’s shoulders.

“What happened, baby?” Fafner asked quietly.

I shut my eyes. I had to tell them, no matter how hard it would be. I took a deep breath and whispered, “I met my spark.”

They didn’t reply, and I didn’t open my eyes. Silence reigned in our tiny room; even the rains outside seemed quiet. I slowly cracked my eyes; Dain and Fafner both stared at me. Their lips turned down, and sadness radiated from them.

“I don’t want to lose you both,” I said, breaking the quiet. “I love you. I don’t want a spark.”

Dain let out a gentle sigh. “We love you, too, and we don’t want to lose you either. But this is your fated mate. The one who was made for you, Alever.”

“You were made for me—you and Fafner,” I protested.

“As much as we all wish that were true, we know it’s not.” Fafner reminded me. “No matter the connection we have.”

I knew he was right, but I didn’t want to accept it. I shook my head. “No. You’re my mates, my loves, the only ones I need. I can deny my spark.”

“Alever!” Dain looked shocked. “You can’t possibly mean that. Besides, it doesn’t necessarily mean you would lose us. Some of us share our fated mates. It’s how we’re made,” Dain said.

“That’s true, baby,” Fafner piped up. “This could mean we’re just bringing one more person into our relationship—instead of a throuple, we’d be a quad.”

I was the one to sigh this time. “As much as I’d love that to be the case, I don’t think it’ll happen. My mate is a dragon shifter, and we know how possessive they are. He’d never share me.”

“I don’t think that’s going to be an issue.”

It wasn’t Fafner or Dain who spoke; it was the deep accented voice that had sent shivers through my body earlier invaded the space.

“Esteban,” I whispered as I jerked my gaze in his direction. Dain and Fafner jumped to their feet, ready to attack.

Esteban was here, in the Fae realm, in my house. I couldn’t believe it. He was even more handsome than when I first saw him. But how…

“How did you get here?” I asked, voicing my thought.

Esteban gave a small smile. “Gavin. He explained the situation, how you had two other long-time companions, and even though I hated the idea of sharing you, I begged him to send me here so we could talk.” His smile widened, and his eyes glimmered with lust. “I didn’t realize it wasn’t going to be an issue.”

Did he mean he was okay sharing me with Dain and Fafner? I didn’t have to give them up? I looked at Dain and Fafner, and noticed they didn’t speak, didn’t move. They appeared to be frozen in place, and their mouths hung open.

“Fafner? Dain?” I asked.

Dain turned to focus on me but kept glancing back at Esteban. “He’s my spark,” Dain finally said.

“And mine,” Fafner added.

“What! But he’s mine. How is that possible? That would mean….”

“That would mean we’re mates as well,” Dain said, finishing my thought.

“How? We’ve known each other for over two thousand years,” I said.

“It’s happened with dragons before. The connection isn’t fully established until all the mates are found. Did you feel a pull to each other?” Esteban asked.

I nodded. “We’ve always felt a bond, but it never solidified. Is this for real?”

“It’s for real, baby,” Dain said.

I whooped excitedly and launched into Dain, wrapping my arms around his neck and legs around his waist, kissing him fiercely. I didn’t have to leave them—any of them. I pulled back, jumped down, and grabbed Fafner, dragging him to me. He wrapped his massive arms around me and tightly squeezed me.

“I can’t believe it. We’re mates. I don’t have to give you up,” I said, nearly crying with happiness.

Fafner smiled down at me. “Never, baby.”

My smile dropped as I leaned back from the embrace. Looking toward Esteban, I asked, “And you’re okay with this?”

Esteban laughed. “I’m more than okay with it. The idea of sharing you was awful, but when the other two men are also my heart, it’s exciting. My three beautiful fairies.”

“We’re elves, not fairies,” Dain corrected, approaching Esteban. Esteban was taller than Dain by a few inches but exuded the same dominant aura. His nose flared, and he smirked.

“Fairies, elves, you’re still beautiful.” Esteban reached out and pulled Dain to his chest. “And you’re all mine,” he whispered before leaning down and smashing his lips to Dain’s.

My cock hardened, and arousal coursed through my body like a raging fire. I’d seen Dain make out with other men before, but seeing him kiss our spark affected me in ways I’d never imagined. The emotion was more profound, and I wanted to join them.

Fafner had the same idea. He clasped my hand and pulled me to our kissing mates. Esteban broke the kiss and turned to me before slamming his mouth on mine. He tasted amazing, like the sweetest fairy wine I’d ever had. I moaned as another mouth joined our kiss. Needing air, I pulled back, breaking the kiss, but Fafner and Esteban continued.

“You and Esteban have way too many clothes on,” Dain said, snapping his fingers.

Immediately, my pants and shirt were gone, and my cock sprang free. Esteban gasped and leaned back before he looked down. His eyes were round in amazement as he, too, now stood naked.

I admired my new mate’s perfect body. He was sculpted in ways that put the gods to shame. With his chiseled chest and eight-pack abs, he was Adonis reborn. But his most impressive feature was his dick. It was at least ten inches of uncut glory. His cock bounced in the air, and precum pulsed from his slit.

I dropped to my knees before bathing his shaft with my tongue. His skin was smooth, and his precum was bittersweet. Esteban groaned and bucked his hips as I slipped my tongue between his foreskin.

Esteban’s cock throbbed and pulsed more delicious seed, and I’d just leaned forward to slip his cock head into my mouth and suck on my prize when Esteban stepped back out of my reach. I peered up in confusion. Dain and Fafner tilted their heads and stared at Esteban. I’m positive my expression mirrored theirs.

Esteban had his eyes closed, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly. He took a deep breath before he opened his eyes.

“We need to talk before we go further. My dragon was ready to take over, and if he did, it’d be too late,” he explained.

“Talk about what?” I asked. Didn’t he want us? Did he want to wait to bond? I’d do it for him, even though it would suck. I wanted him badly.

“If we do this, we’ll go into heat,” Esteban explained. “You could get pregnant. It could be any of us, whomever bottoms. I want you to be prepared for that.”

Oh, yeah, I’d forgotten; dragon equals pregnancy. I paused. Did I want to be a father? Could I handle a child? I glanced back to Fafner and Dain. Fafner bit his bottom lip, and I smiled. It was his thinking face; he always bit his bottom lip when he was thinking something through. Dain’s expression, on the other hand, was marred by worry.

“We can wait and talk this out,” Esteban said, but Dain shook his head.

“I don’t mind having kids, but I don’t think I could be the carrier. Is there a way to prevent pregnancy?” he asked.

“I don’t think I can be the carrier either,” Fafner added softly.

“The only way to prevent it is by only topping during the heat. But the heat will last until one of us conceives,” Esteban said.

“I’ll be the carrier,” I said.

The trio looked down at me. “Are you sure, Alever?” Dain asked.

I nodded. “I’m sure. I think it’ll be amazing. Gavin appears happy, and he if can handle being pregnant, I can.”

Dain looked to Fafner, who smiled. He turned to Esteban, and Esteban tilted his head as if to say, “I’m good with it.” Finally, Dain looked back down at me and nodded.

“Great! Now, anything else we need to discuss? Because I really want your cock in my mouth,” I said as I crawled toward Esteban.

Esteban laughed, grasped his cock, and slowly stroked his shaft. “This cock?”

I licked my lips as a bead of precum oozed from his slit. “Fuck, yes!”

I leaned forward and captured my prize with my mouth. Esteban groaned loudly as he slid down my throat. I knew there was no way I could take him entirely, between his girth and length, but that didn’t stop me from trying. I slid up and down, gagging as I did. Tears burned in my eyes, and I moaned around Estaban’s cock. He arched forward and groaned in pleasure.

Another body slid next to me, and Fafner leaned in to lick Esteban’s balls and the part of his shaft I couldn’t get to. I moved off Esteban’s dick and allowed Fafner a taste. We took turns, each of us swallowing as much of Esteban’s cock as we could.

Fafner was able to go deeper. For as long as I’d known him, he’d always been the better cock sucker. I gasped in surprise and pleasure as a slick digit found my puckered hole. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Dain there with an expression of sheer determination.

“Get him ready. I need in his ass,” Esteban all but growled.

Dain added another finger, and I moaned at the burn. “Oh, he’ll be ready. Our baby has a hungry hole. So tight, so perfect.”

Dain continued to finger fuck my ass as Fafner, and I alternated sucking Esteban’s dick. I gasped around Esteban’s shaft as Dain filled me with his hard cock. Dain’s strong hands gripped my waist as he rotated his hips, causing his dick to hit my prostate.

Without warning, Esteban roared, shaking the walls of our tiny home. He bent down and yanked me from the floor. Dain’s cock slipped from my tight hole with such speed that I jerked as a shot of pleasure rippled through my body like an electric current.

Esteban threw me on the bed and almost immediately filled my chute, slamming his giant dick all the way to the hilt. I gazed up and saw his dragon gleaming in his eyes; Esteban wasn’t in command. He pulled back and thrust in, creating a rhythm. Fingers joined Esteban’s cock, causing him to growl and me to writhe.

Laughter echoed in the room. “You like that? It’s been a while since you’ve taken two dicks. Do you want my dick sliding in you as well?”

I tried to answer Dain, but all I could do was nod. Esteban saw the nod and rolled us, so I was on top of him.

“Fill him,” Esteban said, slowing his assault.

“Fafner, go sit on Esteban’s face and feed your cock to Alever. Keep them distracted,” Dain commanded.

Fafner moved to comply, and I had his dick in my mouth in seconds. Fafner moaned, and Esteban slowed further as he feasted on Fafner’s ass. I hissed around Fafner’s fat cock as Dain joined Esteban’s wide prick.

“Gods, I’m not going to last long. So tight. The feel of your dick sliding over mine, Dain. Never have I. Incredible!” Esteban rambled.

Slowly our movements began to sync. Dain and Esteban pulled back and pushed in, gradually picking up the pace, while Fafner grasped my head and fucked my face. The three cocks in me thickened, and I knew they were close. My orgasm wasn’t far behind.

Magic filled the room, and the time had come. I came off of Fafner’s cock with a pop. I stared down at Esteban, then glanced up to Fafner and finally peered over my shoulder, meeting all my mates’ eyes, just for a moment.

“I promise always to love you,” I said to them. “To share my magic and light with you through eternity. This is my oath as a Fae. Do you accept?”

“I accept and promise the same,” Fafner replied.

“As do I. I promise to protect you with my life,” Dain said, not slowing his thrusts.

Esteban roared, and his eyes glowed white. “I accept, and I promise to love and honor you. To stand by you forever. You are my Cardias, my hearts. This is my Dragon Pledge. Do you accept?”

Dain, Fafner, and I replied in unison. “I do.”

Esteban lunged forward, biting my neck. I screamed and came shooting volley after volley of cum between us. I leaned forward and bit Esteban’s neck, causing a chain reaction. He cried out, and his cock grew thick before filling me with his cum. Dain quickly followed, growling and biting my other shoulder. Fafner grunted from above us, and I glanced up. He stroked his cock furiously, suddenly freezing and spraying his cum over our bodies.

Light erupted all around us. It was in all different colors: red, green, purple, white, gold. It formed a braid before bursting and hitting each of us in the chest. Instantly the connection I’d wanted for over two thousand years snapped in place. We were bonded.

For a while, our breathing was the only thing I heard. Fafner slid down the headboard and laid beside us. Dain and Esteban didn’t move, their still-engorged cocks twitching inside me. I lifted my head, and Esteban opened his eyes. I smiled down at him.

“I’m glad I found you.”

“I’m glad you found me, too,” Esteban replied. “I have my beautiful elves. My mates. I can’t wait to build our lives together. I love you all.”

I leaned down to kiss him, but thunder rattled the room. I turned my head to peer out the window. The storms still raged.

“Don’t worry, baby. We’re here,” Fafner whispered beside us.

I looked at him. “I know, but I don’t hate the rains anymore. It brought me to Esteban. And now our bond is whole.”

Lightning flashed again, and thunder quickly followed. Yeah, I could get used to this. I leaned down and kissed Esteban.

Thank you, Fate, for letting me keep my lovers and adding another. You’re the best.

The End.
