Karltin was happy to be back near his human home. With the egg he was bent on hatching and selling. And sell it at a high price. Bags and bags of gold. It was the least to be given for that wretched thing that had caused him an experience which he never wanted to speak of again. He had been assaulted and penetrated by a male dragon thinking he was a female! How humiliating! He had been forced to be the submissive one in this twisted set of circumstances! He'd been taken by a giant lizard. Ugh! Of course, his mind neber thought of the innumerable girls to whom it occurred alas too, too many times. For him, it was a deep humiliation which never should have happened to HIM. He felt filthy and just wanted to sleep and forget the whole thinking. The sooner the better and he'd be glad once that stupid egg hatched and the whole thing was over for good.
Unfortunately for him, the bronze dragon was hot on his, or rather her, trail. He had not intention to let go of the mate he loved and had found so suddenly. And an unborn baby dragon was in danger too, here! Unacceptable! He had courted her very well and been galant and caring to a tee. She was absolutely gorgeous but a bit strange in the head. Well, no matte. He'd find her and set her thoughts right. She was too beautiful to waste. Besides, as he approached her, he smelled the pheromones indicating she was pregnant. Perfect! His precious valiant and vigorous seed had done its job! Even more reasons not to leave her alone. She was pregnant with one or several of his precious babies! And he loved that egg already! Couldn't she see that? Well, it was his job as her mate to help her, even if she did not want to. And she had gone back to that awful human abode!... Tsss... She truly had a confused mind. He stepped inside the cave next to it, happy and relieved to see her and the egg safe and sound. And the site confirmed what he already suspected. She was pregnant. She had obeyed her deep instinct and built herself a nest, albeit a crummy one and one on standards so low he'd be ashamed of it was his doing. She was so muddled of mind she'd probably hadn't realized what she was doing. He stepped into the cave, waking up his beloved. She looked startled, unsurprisingly. Well, time to get her back home, where she belonged. Showtime.
