"Bad choice," she hissed,

Shadow merely snorted, daring her to try something. When suddenly he heard his keepers voice loud and clearer than he ever had before! he froze hesitating in panic! he heard her anger and felt tremors of her rage shaking through his entire being like a shock wave.

He was quick to recover but it was too late, Arila had struggled free, he tried to grab her wrists! But she came at him with such overwhelming wild intensity he was absolutely bewildered could not hold her!

He growled in gasping in disbelief as he now as being taken down by this wild woman! never in all his life had he known such fury!

The male went down with surprised yelp, he looked down at floor and then up at his Arila wide eyed in dismay.


"My rules, pet, no one else's go here,"

Shadow's wriggled about beneath her but at last his nostrils flared letting out a large gust air of discontent quickly realizing that she had him and couldn't go anywhere.

The young male looked up at his capture's wild green eyes as their bodies heated from exertion pressed against each other, as she came down taking the kiss with an unapologetic passion that quickly caught Shadow's attention causing to wince at first but he soon thrummed with pleasure and desire as his her tongue coiled around his.

Shadow let out an elated gasp when suddenly she broke the deep kiss, when suddenly he let out a startled yelp in bitter sweet pain as he felt her teeth biting down hard on vigorous passion... that would undoubtedly leave a mark.

Shocked, he stared up Arila, he wasn't at all hurt, but at that very moment he realized had just been marked. Often times, the dominant dragon marked their mate with a large bite mark near the neck or shoulder just like he had intended to do in the beginning when he brought her to his nest.

At this very moment, the young dragon realized how much out of control he was. His entire shuddered beneath Arila as felt he moist lips gently suck on the small dark bruise on his neck.

Shadow soon ceased his thrashing about, he now lay still all for his masculine chest that rose and fell beneath her. Though the gleam in his eyes showed he wouldn't hesitate to try and flip her if he got the chance. He swallowed, his erection pressed against her thigh inner thigh.



Shadow's heart hammered in his chest in anticipation while his dark hungry orbs gazed up at with desire. She had marked him, and he knew it would be only a few moments before she would claim him.... he was both scared and maddened with overwhelming excitement at the same time.

Rage flared through Arila as he took advantage of her offer and she wished that she hadn't bothered or had paid more attention while her master went through the lessons on magical creatures...or had just paid attention to his behavior before hand. She should have known he was too arrogant to agree, and she was too stupid to have fallen for it.

She hissed as his hands touched her and bit her lips so that her yelp was silent. Her magic was depleted and even fueled with raged she couldn't cast a spell. Though she had no knowledge of how close she was to loosing the chance of ever being a Dragon Rider, she knew that she wasn't going to be dominated.

Ever.

"Bad choice," she hissed, looking up into his eyes and used the bond they had from being dragon and dragon rider, to force her way into his mind, screaming in rage, loud enough to make him wince and then forced her way up, so that he'd land on his back. She launched onto him and grappled with him until once more he was pinned.

Since she was faster and knew better than to try to over power him flat out, she waited until she had forced him onto his back in a position that was easy for her to control. They ended up on the edge of the mat of fish nets, almost falling off onto the rocky floor.

"My rules, pet, no one else's go here," she told him, as she looked down at him, this time her green eyes danced with the fire of victory and her chest heaved from having fought him down with her human strength. It was almost as exhilarating as her first spell.

This time, as she leaned down to capture his lips, she wasn't patent or considerate of his feelings. She was the victor and she was the master. Nimbly, she slipped her tongue pass his lips, while her fingers made certain that his arms were pinned well beneath her legs. Arila had had the foresight not to sit on his stomach this time when she pinned him and was hovering over him.

She moved her mouth to his neck and bit down pretty hard, just to punish him for causing her so much trouble, but then she brushed a kiss over it to take away the sting.

There is a lot of lore and literature of old wise dragons and their keepers. But Shadow was young and wild! his main concern in life was eating to his hearts content! collecting shiny stuff and establishing dominion over his territory, and finding a mate.

"Shadow, I'll let you up if you don't pin me," Arila offered quietly


Shadow being proud creature that he was... felt like most young male dragons that they were the biggest baddest thing in the world and there was no equal to themselves. No one else would stand at his side... he would not be content until he either reigned supreme or until he felt that he belonged to something or someone greater that he felt was worthy of his service.

The young male's hungry eyes gazed up into hers... not a seem of compromise would be found. There were only three options, she would have to subdue him and if she could not or would not, he would claim her as his or she him.

The moment she hesitated, Shadow arched up wildly, freeing his arms from beneath her thigh and flipped Arila onto her back.

Shadow grinned, his eyes gleamed with victoriously as he gazed down at her, placing one hand firmly down on her shoulder, and his other down at he hip just above her thigh pinning her back against to the nest forcing her be still.

His strong hands pressed held her down hard, hard enough to possibly even leave bruises as he waited impatiently to be still and submit so that he could claim her.

Often times in the wild mating was often a fierce and bloody battle if neither of the pair were willing to submit....... which might've been a legitimate reason there was so few of them.

If Arila new anything about wild dragon's she would know that she was in a very precarious position and if she allowed Shadow to have his way on top her chances of ever being a Dragon Rider went down to zilch of which she was would be all ways marked as a Dragon's Nest Mate... His Nest Mate.

This was for all the marbles, Shadow knew it to and though he loved the thrill of the struggle he was getting tired of waiting for her yield and be still. Soon if the power of persuasion did not get her to submit, he would enforce persuasion through power.

Shadow's chest rose and fell, as he pressed down her, his entire body shook and trembled with desire.

Arila made a sound that made her cheeks flame as Shadow shifted again, still trying to fight her off. Reaching down, she caught the hem of her dressed and pulled it up, puller her head so that her hair stood up in spiky disarray.

Now that her legs were free, she lowered back to a sitting position and was all too aware of her skin pressed against Shadow's and how close to his lower half she was.

She went back to nibbling at his throat, though now her eyes were on his face and her mind else where.

It was obvious that Shadow was annoyed that she was on top of him, but he also clearly liked it, so she didn't know if she should care about the minor annoyance to him.

For her, to actually have kept him pinned was almost as thrilling as the ideas that danced through her mind as to what would happen next. She was considerably smaller than him, even in his human form, so it was even more pleasing to her. Part of her wondered if Shadow was still unused to his human form or just that weak as a human.

Once more she captured his lips, enjoy his taste, which was different from anything that she knew and better than anything she dreamed of. Breathing heavy, she rested her forehead against his and just stayed still as she thought.

"Shadow, I'll let you up if you don't pin me," Arila offered quietly, wondering how he would take to it. For some reason, for the same reason she hated being pinned, she couldn't find it in her to keep him pinned. Her emerald eyes met his blue gaze, offering not dominance or submitting, but equals, though her body language said that it was going to only be offered for a moment.

Shadow gave a flustered look her cool fingers a ran through his hair. It was quite evident of his disapproval of being on the bottom.

"You started this."

He barred his white teeth trying to intimidate her as if he was still a dragon. His chest continued to rise and fall, though now he swallowed nervously as she craned her neck to smell him... suddenly realizing that she intended on taking him as her mate and not the other way around.

He wanted to shout, want to tell her that He was in charge! she was His mate! and He was going to be on top! and He would make the decisions... but then her lips locked with his....

Shadow responded kissing back passionately... lost in the blissful bittersweet taste of her lips. As much as he was in a frazzle about being ridden out, he couldn't ignore his desires and instincts.

The young male paused, looking up at her inquisitively... she had licked him!?! He grunted, attempting to sit up, he press his forehead so that their noses rubbed against each other... Shadow gasped and took in her scent as she teased him with her tongue. Shadow's eyes went big in dismay as he opened his mouth taking in her tongue but then thrummed in delight as there tongues tasted one another in a deep intimate kiss, which left him breathless at the end.

But ti didn't end there, Shadow grunted and gasping in bewilderment as Arila's soft lips showered over his face with a fierce passion. Shadow growled, in surprise as she playfully nibbled at his ear.

He couldn't speak he was so outraged at how she was taking her liberties with him while he was pinned down on his back! He arched his back, lifting her off the ground in another attempt to throw off him, but it was to no avail she rode him down back down to the soft netting.

But all this was lost in raptures of passion and desire! Shadow stared up at Arila as her warm thighs and pelvis rapped around his abdomen as if she were in rodeo, while her supple beasts pressed down on his pounding masculine chest .

He didn't want her to stop... there wasn't any stopping! Shadow nipped back at her passionately.... all the while making few more vain attempts to flip her, for he was still quite determined to claim her as His.

Though by the looks of it as their hips slid closure, his hopes looked bleak ... but his passion and desire only increased.

Him kissing back had her startled, but pleased and she could almost feel his silent purr. Her cheeks were flaming and her eyes somewhat glazed from lust and she wondered why she was worrying about getting dressed again.

Pressing her hands against his shoulders a little harder, she slid back, so that her knees were almost over top his elbows, to keep him still. She moved her hands to his hair, straightening it gently, more because it being in his face in such away made him even more appealing and she knew that she should at least try to think clearly.

His sudden struggle jolted her and electricity shot from her core as she was moved against his body. She met his glare and replied, in a snappish tone, "You started this."

Bowing her head next to his, she just inhaled his scent, understanding why he did so to her. He smelled so nice, like the salt water, but also like fire and the icy air. This made her curious as to what he tasted like, so she kissed him again, flicking her tongue over his lips in an almost playful way.

Not wanting to remind him of the vampiress unduly, she kissed along his cheek and to his neck, nibbling on his ear lobe, before moving down, nipping and kissing, ever cautious of his body language.

Her hands stayed in his hair at first, but they moved to caress his cheeks and face as she moved her face lower, towards his shoulders.

His breathing grew heavy in anticipation as he brewed over her, instinctively feeling his way down. He became more aroused as each second went by, until his erection was pressing firmly on the wet fabric clung warm thighs.

I hate being dominated. Something about being a mage, I guess," she said idly

The young male gazed down at Arila a bit lacking in direction, when suddenly Arila flipped around. Shadow hesitated seeing her for the first time fully exposed, a low hungry growl of desire rumbled in his chest a he tried to go back down on her to regain control. But he soon found himself in wrestling match and this time Arila was not so compliant.

For a moment the two grappled around in the nest, but the end result Shadow found himself on his back and staring up into Arilia green fiery eyes . Shadow grunted, his muscles flexed as he strained trying to get up but his arms where trapped by Arila'a firm thighs.

The young male's heart was pound in his chest with desire, he looked up at his keeper in disbelief. Before he could protest, she came down silencing him with her warm soft lips, Shadow purred silently in pleasure as he met her kiss.

His chiseled abdomen rose and fell rapidly beneath her firm hot thighs in unison with his feverish masculine chest.

As she broke the kiss his legged dug into the nest and arched his back lifting her off the ground several times as he bucked his hips attempting to flip her.

But atlas Shadow collapsed bead of sweat glistened along his chest as he glared up her through his unruly black hair and gave a discontented grunt , much like a wild stallion would being ridden for the first time.

Arila couldn't fight him, she knew, though she longed to. Being without control was not something that she liked. Gritting her teeth, she told herself that she didn't enjoy him nuzzling her neck, but even she couldn't deny that the ripple that went through her as he stroked her side was of pleasure.

Gathering her magic about her slowly, the young mage made certain that it would almost be impossible to sense. Nowhere in her mind did she consider what she would do when she had amassed enough magic to do a spell, that wasn't what she was thinking about. She just drew it around her like a blanket, shielding herself in it with a foe sense of power.

Goosebumps sprang up along her arms as he nibbled his down her back and she bit her lower lip so that she couldn't make a sound. On her arms were freed from the wet dress, she moved them before Shadow could pin time again, jerking them up so that they were next to her head.

"I hate being dominated. Something about being a mage, I guess," she said idly, before using her magic to give her strength, just a short burst, for her magic, which had already been waning, gave out. That short burst was all she needed though, for now, she was the one with Shadow pinned, her legs holding down his arms, sitting on his abdomen, and her hands on his shoulders.

She couldn't resist it when she smirked down at him, her eyes dancing like green fire. Nor could she help herself when she leaned down and captured his lips in a kiss, a gentle one, true enough, but still her heart hammered. In her mind she defended herself that it was from her victory, though she was all too aware how exposed she was.

There lay the problem. Could she put her dress back on without Shadow overpowering her again? She wasn't sure and she didn't want to risk it, though she knew that if he tried, he could still probably get free.

'what now?'

Shadow kept a firm hold on her, straddling her upper thighs keeping her stomach on the ground. He his gaze met hers as she turned her head to see him. The young male lowered his head, nuzzling her neck, feeling softness of her bare shoulder. He could feel every move she made, every breath, even her heart beat.

"You know, there is only so much that you can do half way. Something started, you have no choice but to finish. Do you think you can see this through? If not, let me up, now."

He young dragon tilted his head, not sure what she was speaking of, vibrations resonated in his throat as he slide her other strap down from her dress. Shadow shifted nuzzling her the opposite of her neck and stroked the side of her body.

For moment he grunted in frustration uncertion on how to undo the layers of shimmering fabric that clung onto he her soft skin. He lowered his himself downward and began nibbling with his teeth at the laces along her lower back that held her dress up.

Shadow took his time, nibbling her the soft curves of back while gently undoing each lace as he pealed the wet fabric from body. All the while he held her firmly facing downward, maintaining a dominant position as he straddled her back.

Arila wasn't still as he pressed down to subdue her, until his hands roamed over her, and then she froze, like a rabbit that had scented a hunt. Her body warmed at his touch, though she told herself it was wrong, that he was too innocent to know what he was doing.

"Shadow, stop. You don't know..." but before she could finish, she realized that she had nothing to say. What didn't he know? Had anything but instincts lead any male on his first time. Her cheeks flamed at the thought.

Her eyes met his, asking him once again, wordlessly this time, 'what now?' His longing made her shudder, as she knew that even if she wanted to, she couldn't stop him, and she wasn't sure she'd want to. Biting her lip, she watched him, wondering what he was going to do.

A shudder rippled through her as the shoulder to her dress was slide down, but pinned as she was by his body, she couldn't move it back up and she didn't use her voice. She, herself, had grown curious now. Not as to what she was feeling, for she knew well enough what lust was, but for what would follow. How would he treat her and what would he do? Would he get confused and back out half way through.

Tilting her head to the side so that her chin was at a right angle with her body, proud as ever, she baited him, "You know, there is only so much that you can do half way. Something started, you have no choice but to finish. Do you think you can see this through? If not, let me up, now."

Feeling her relax Shadow sat up watching her quietly as he ran his hand through her dripping wet silver hair.

"Now you have me and what? You'll keep me here to waist away? Keep me as a toy? Let me starve? At least that will only take a few days, maybe a week or two."

He tilted his head, "I will bring you food," he said simply, not bothering to explain himself.

"LET ME GO!" she shouted

Shadow growled as she flailed about, he quickly subdued her and pressed her face down into the netting, and pressed his body down on top of hers so that she couldn't move.

He thrummed as leaned in taking in her scent as he smelled her hair neckline. Enjoying feeling of her wriggling beneath him. His strong hands slid over her curves delighting in the soft silky feel of her silver dress that clung her hips. He watched in awe as the water turned to vapor as it evaporated from her warm body.

Shadow felt a strange all over, his dark innocent eyes gazed down at her longingly...

He never had ever felt anything for another human... but for some reason the more he saw through human eyes, the more he began to long for human desires.

Young males heart began pounding as he gently slide strap of her dress down from her shoulder. The sparkling dress was indeed alluring but felt a little more curious as to what was underneath it.

"Get off me!" Arila snapped, not caring that he was growling. When she was tossed over his shoulder she hit him and kicked him where she could, cussing him as he carried her.

When he pinned her, her gaze locked onto his, the green was dull and flat, totally lacking all emotion as she looked up at him, not even anger. Quietly, she asked, "Now you have me and what? You'll keep me here to waist away? Keep me as a toy? Let me starve? At least that will only take a few days, maybe a week or two."

Completely still, she lay under him, looking up at him, wondering how long this would last, how long until she would no longer exist. For some reason, she had no doubt that she would die in that cave, mostly because she couldn't think up a way to get free. This was karma, though, in her opinion. She had captured Shadow to use as a tool as she traveled and adventured, and now Shadow captured her.

"LET ME GO!" she shouted suddenly, fighting against him desperately, not wanting to be pinned, at the very least.
