      "description": "Helping your teammate is good, but don't forget to check on the time as well.\n\n\n\"Get early access of variants and more on my Patreon!\":https://www.patreon.com/rayka_anna \nThank you very much for your support!\n\n\n[section=Short Story]\n\nh2.[i]The Heat of the Dragon Knight: Part Two[/i]\n\nThe room was a blur of shadows and faint light, the early morning sun slipping through the cracked window like it was too shy to fully show itself. It painted everything in a soft, golden haze, catching on the dust motes floating lazily in the air. The scent hit me first—sweat, sharp and salty, mixed with something heavier, something that made my pulse kick up a notch: arousal. Freya’s soft moans broke the quiet, little gasps and whimpers that seemed to bounce off the walls and settle right in my chest. She was leaning against the wall, her body trembling, her fingers moving between her thighs with a desperation I’d never seen in her before. And me? I was just standing there, caught somewhere between shock and a need so raw it hurt. \n\n“Touch me,” she breathed, her voice so quiet I almost missed it. “Please.” \n\nI didn’t think. My hand was on her before I could talk myself out of it, brushing the curve of her hip, feeling the heat rolling off her in waves. She was burning, like a fever had taken her over. My fingers slid lower, hesitant at first, then bolder, slipping between her thighs. She was so damn wet, warm and slick, and when I pressed two fingers inside her, she let out a sharp gasp, her hips bucking into my touch. It was awkward as hell—my hand shaking, her body tensing like she wasn’t sure how to let go—but gods, the way she felt around me, tight and pulsing, made my head spin. \n\n“Freya,” I muttered, my voice gravelly, “you’re… shit, you’re unreal.” \n\nShe laughed, a shaky little sound that melted into a moan as I moved my fingers, curling them just right. Her knees wobbled, and she braced herself harder against the wall, her breath hitching. I could hear every sound she made, each one louder than the last, and panic flickered in my gut. The others—Zidane, Garnet, Vivi—they’re just down the hall. What if they hear her? I pressed my lips together, trying to focus, but her moans were unraveling me. \n\n“Quiet,” I whispered, more to myself than her. “We can’t wake them up.” \n\nShe nodded, biting her lip hard, but it didn’t stop the noises spilling out—soft, needy little cries that drove me crazy. Her hips rocked against my hand, chasing the rhythm, and I couldn’t tear my eyes off her. Her heavy breasts hung free, swaying with every twitch of her body, nipples tight and begging to be touched. Her hips shook, her ass flexing with each thrust of my fingers, and it was too much. My cock was straining against my pants, aching, and I couldn’t take it anymore. With my free hand, I yanked at my belt, letting myself spring free. I wrapped my fingers around my length, stroking in time with the thrusts inside her, and the relief hit me like a punch. \n\nFreya glanced back, her eyes widening as she caught sight of me. For a split second, I froze, thinking she’d pull away, tell me to stop. But then her lips parted, her breath ragged, and she said, “You don’t have to hold back… I want this too.” Her voice was shy, trembling, but there was a spark of resolve in it—classic Freya, quiet but unyielding. \n\nThat did it. I pulled my fingers out, ignoring her soft whine, and shed the rest of my clothes in a clumsy rush. She straightened up a little, still facing the wall, her tail twitching slightly. We locked eyes, no words, just sweat and tension so thick it felt like the air was pressing down on us. She was glistening, her fur matted with perspiration, her chest heaving. I stepped closer, my hands finding her ass—soft, perfect—and squeezed, lining myself up with her dripping entrance. My cock brushed against her, and a jolt shot through me, but then a thought crashed in: What am I doing? What happens after this? \n\nShe must’ve seen the hesitation flicker across my face because she didn’t wait. With one swift, decisive motion—like she was lunging with her spear in a fight—she slammed her hips back, taking me inside her in a single, breathtaking thrust. I gasped, my mind blanking as her heat swallowed me whole. She was tight, wet, overwhelming, and every doubt I had melted away, replaced by the electric shock of her around me. \n\n\n“Fuck,” I groaned, my hands clamping onto her hips as I sank deeper. She moaned, loud and unfiltered, her head tipping back. We didn’t ease into it—there was no room for gentle. I thrust into her hard, primal, my fingers digging into her flesh as she pushed back to meet me. The room filled with the sounds of us—skin slapping against skin, her gasps, my growls. I slid a hand up her body, groping her breast, rolling her nipple between my fingers until she arched and cried out. \n\n\nWe shifted, desperate and messy. I guided her to the bed, bending her over so she was on her knees, her ass up, and took her from behind again, pounding into her with everything I had. Then I flipped her onto her back, needing to see her—her flushed face, her half-lidded eyes, the way her lips parted with every moan. Her legs hooked around my waist, pulling me deeper, and I kissed her, rough and hungry, tasting the salt on her skin. \n\nThe moans echoed, bouncing off the walls, and we didn’t care anymore. Let them hear. Let the whole damn inn know. “We better be quick,” she panted, her voice shaking. “The others… they’ll wake up soon.” \n\n\n“Yeah,” I grunted, my thrusts speeding up, erratic and wild. “Almost—come with me, Freya.” \n\nShe did, her body locking up as she shattered beneath me, a sharp cry tearing from her throat. Her orgasm pulled me under, and I buried myself deep, groaning as I came, the world narrowing to the pulse of her around me. We collapsed in a heap on the floor, panting, tangled, too wrecked to move. \n\nReality hit fast. I staggered to my feet, fumbling for my clothes with shaky hands. “I need to get back,” I rasped. “Before anyone notices.” \n\nShe nodded, still sprawled out, her chest rising and falling. “Go.” \n\nI slipped out, stumbling back to my room, praying no one saw me. \n\n*** \n\nI woke to Zidane banging on my door, his voice cutting through the fog in my head. “Hey, wake up, you lazy bum! It’s almost noon!” \n\nEvery muscle screamed as I dragged myself upright, aching in places I didn’t know could ache. Guess that’s what happens when you lose yourself like that. Zidane grinned, leaning against the frame, all smug energy. \n\n“Rough night?” he teased. “You look like hell.” \n\n“Shut up,” I mumbled, rubbing my face. “What’s the plan?” \n\n“We’re heading out. But man, early this morning? Sounded like a couple going at it like animals. The girl must’ve been real happy—lucky bastard, whoever he was.” He smirked, wiggling his eyebrows. \n\nI forced a laugh, praying it didn’t sound as fake as it felt. “Yeah, probably some randoms.” \n\nHe shrugged, already moving on. “Hurry up, we’re waiting.” \n\nDown in the tavern, Freya was perched on a barstool, sipping tea like she hadn’t just turned my world upside down. She looked pristine, her coat neat, her expression blank. I slid onto the stool next to her, muttering to the bartender for something—anything—to dull the ache in my bones. \n\n“Morning,” I said, aiming for casual. \n\n“Morning,” she replied, clipped and cool, not even glancing my way. \n\nI tried talking—something about the day ahead—but she brushed me off with one-word answers, staring into her mug. Doubt crept in. Was it a dream? Did I imagine it? My head was still spinning, and she wasn’t helping. \n\nThen, when Zidane and the others were distracted, arguing over supplies, she moved. Her hand shot out, grabbed my shirt, and yanked me close. Her lips crashed into mine—hot, fast, gone before I could blink. She shoved me back just as quick, checking to make sure no one saw. I gaped at her, heart hammering, and she flashed me a sly, tiny smile. \n\n“Don’t overthink it,” she whispered, barely audible. “Later.” \n\nThen she was back to her tea, calm as ever, leaving me reeling. It was real. And that smile? That was a promise. \n\n \n*** ",

It painted everything in a soft, golden haze, catching on the dust motes floating lazily in the air. The scent hit me first—sweat, sharp and salty, mixed with something heavier, something that made my pulse kick up a notch: arousal. Freya’s soft moans broke the quiet, little gasps and whimpers that seemed to bounce off the walls and settle right in my chest. She was leaning against the wall, her body trembling, her fingers moving between her thighs with a desperation I’d never seen in her before. And me? I was just standing there, caught somewhere between shock and a need so raw it hurt. \n\n“Touch me,” she breathed, her voice so quiet I almost missed it. “Please.” \n\nI didn’t think. My hand was on her before I could talk myself out of it, brushing the curve of her hip, feeling the heat rolling off her in waves. She was burning, like a fever had taken her over. My fingers slid lower, hesitant at first, then bolder, slipping between her thighs. She was so damn wet, warm and slick, and when I pressed two fingers inside her, she let out a sharp gasp, her hips bucking into my touch. It was awkward as hell—my hand shaking, her body tensing like she wasn’t sure how to let go—but gods, the way she felt around me, tight and pulsing, made my head spin. \n\n“Freya,” I muttered, my voice gravelly, “you’re… shit, you’re unreal.” \n\nShe laughed, a shaky little sound that melted into a moan as I moved my fingers, curling them just right. Her knees wobbled, and she braced herself harder against the wall, her breath hitching. I could hear every sound she made, each one louder than the last, and panic flickered in my gut. The others—Zidane, Garnet, Vivi—they’re just down the hall. What if they hear her? I pressed my lips together, trying to focus, but her moans were unraveling me. \n\n“Quiet,” I whispered, more to myself than her. “We can’t wake them up.” \n\nShe nodded, biting her lip hard, but it didn’t stop the noises spilling out—soft, needy little cries that drove me crazy. Her hips rocked against my hand, chasing the rhythm, and I couldn’t tear my eyes off her. Her heavy breasts hung free, swaying with every twitch of her body, nipples tight and begging to be touched. Her hips shook, her ass flexing with each thrust of my fingers, and it was too much. My cock was straining against my pants, aching, and I couldn’t take it anymore. With my free hand, I yanked at my belt, letting myself spring free. I wrapped my fingers around my length, stroking in time with the thrusts inside her, and the relief hit me like a punch. \n\nFreya glanced back, her eyes widening as she caught sight of me. For a split second, I froze, thinking she’d pull away, tell me to stop. But then her lips parted, her breath ragged, and she said, “You don’t have to hold back… I want this too.” Her voice was shy, trembling, but there was a spark of resolve in it—classic Freya, quiet but unyielding. \n\nThat did it. I pulled my fingers out, ignoring her soft whine, and shed the rest of my clothes in a clumsy rush. She straightened up a little, still facing the wall, her tail twitching slightly. We locked eyes, no words, just sweat and tension so thick it felt like the air was pressing down on us. She was glistening, her fur matted with perspiration, her chest heaving. I stepped closer, my hands finding her ass—soft, perfect—and squeezed, lining myself up with her dripping entrance. My cock brushed against her, and a jolt shot through me, but then a thought crashed in: What am I doing? What happens after this? \n\nShe must’ve seen the hesitation flicker across my face because she didn’t wait. With one swift, decisive motion—like she was lunging with her spear in a fight—she slammed her hips back, taking me inside her in a single, breathtaking thrust. I gasped, my mind blanking as her heat swallowed me whole. She was tight, wet, overwhelming, and every doubt I had melted away, replaced by the electric shock of her around me. \n\n\n“Fuck,” I groaned, my hands clamping onto her hips as I sank deeper. She moaned, loud and unfiltered, her head tipping back. We didn’t ease into it—there was no room for gentle. I thrust into her hard, primal, my fingers digging into her flesh as she pushed back to meet me. The room filled with the sounds of us—skin slapping against skin, her gasps, my growls. I slid a hand up her body, groping her breast, rolling her nipple between my fingers until she arched and cried out. \n\n\nWe shifted, desperate and messy. I guided her to the bed, bending her over so she was on her knees, her ass up, and took her from behind again, pounding into her with everything I had. Then I flipped her onto her back, needing to see her—her flushed face, her half-lidded eyes, the way her lips parted with every moan. Her legs hooked around my waist, pulling me deeper, and I kissed her, rough and hungry, tasting the salt on her skin. \n\nThe moans echoed, bouncing off the walls, and we didn’t care anymore. Let them hear. Let the whole damn inn know. “We better be quick,” she panted, her voice shaking. “The others… they’ll wake up soon.” \n\n\n“Yeah,” I grunted, my thrusts speeding up, erratic and wild. “Almost—come with me, Freya.” \n\nShe did, her body locking up as she shattered beneath me, a sharp cry tearing from her throat. Her orgasm pulled me under, and I buried myself deep, groaning as I came, the world narrowing to the pulse of her around me. We collapsed in a heap on the floor, panting, tangled, too wrecked to move. \n\nReality hit fast. I staggered to my feet, fumbling for my clothes with shaky hands. “I need to get back,” I rasped. “Before anyone notices.” \n\nShe nodded, still sprawled out, her chest rising and falling. “Go.” \n\nI slipped out, stumbling back to my room, praying no one saw me. \n\n*** \n\nI woke to Zidane banging on my door, his voice cutting through the fog in my head. “Hey, wake up, you lazy bum! It’s almost noon!” \n\nEvery muscle screamed as I dragged myself upright, aching in places I didn’t know could ache. Guess that’s what happens when you lose yourself like that. Zidane grinned, leaning against the frame, all smug energy. \n\n“Rough night?” he teased. “You look like hell.” \n\n“Shut up,” I mumbled, rubbing my face. “What’s the plan?” \n\n“We’re heading out. But man, early this morning? Sounded like a couple going at it like animals. The girl must’ve been real happy—lucky bastard, whoever he was.” He smirked, wiggling his eyebrows. \n\nI forced a laugh, praying it didn’t sound as fake as it felt. “Yeah, probably some randoms.” \n\nHe shrugged, already moving on. “Hurry up, we’re waiting.” \n\nDown in the tavern, Freya was perched on a barstool, sipping tea like she hadn’t just turned my world upside down. She looked pristine, her coat neat, her expression blank. I slid onto the stool next to her, muttering to the bartender for something—anything—to dull the ache in my bones. \n\n“Morning,” I said, aiming for casual. \n\n“Morning,” she replied, clipped and cool, not even glancing my way. \n\nI tried talking—something about the day ahead—but she brushed me off with one-word answers, staring into her mug. Doubt crept in. Was it a dream? Did I imagine it? My head was still spinning, and she wasn’t helping. \n\nThen, when Zidane and the others were distracted, arguing over supplies, she moved. Her hand shot out, grabbed my shirt, and yanked me close. Her lips crashed into mine—hot, fast, gone before I could blink. She shoved me back just as quick, checking to make sure no one saw. I gaped at her, heart hammering, and she flashed me a sly, tiny smile. \n\n“Don’t overthink it,” she whispered, barely audible. “Later.” \n\nThen she was back to her tea, calm as ever, leaving me reeling. It was real. And that smile? That was a promise. \n\n \n*** "
