"You!" Spark snarled. "How could you take advantage of my trust!?"
Dartwing shrugged, hiding his nervousness. "Your partner accepted the deer I hunted. You invited me to stay. The signals were clear, were they not?"
Spark was left speechless. To be fair, the dragon had a point. Her invitation had been made out of pity and moral obligation, but in retrospect, coming from a young, fertile female, it could be interpreted as accepting a courtship. She was torn between being angry at Dartwing, herself, or Bluefire. Maybe all three.
"But don't worry, sweet lady," Dartwing continued. "As your mate, I will care and provide for both of you, as well as our young."
"Ember and Sunclaw are not yours," Spark growled sullenly.
"I will care for them, nonetheless," Dartwing declared. "They are now my daughters as surely as you two are my harem."
"Harem!?" Spark gasped. "Wait, you think that we... I think there has been another misunderstanding. You see, Bluefire and I-"
Her words cut off as an azure tail clapped over her muzzle. Bluefire moved up beside her. "Will be happy to accept you as our mate," she finished for Spark, eyeing her meaningfully. "That is, if you are up to the challenge, Dartwing."
The dragon puffed out his chest and lifted his wings. "Of course, dear ladies."
Spark shook off the tail. "Bluefire! Why are you doing this?"
Bluefire sighed. "We are both occupied with nesting all our eggs with more on the way. Ember and the new one will need us as well. As such, we need someone to help protect and hunt for us since our current store of meat is now insufficient." She paused, lowering her head. "Besides all that, It seems I have imprinted on Dartwing."
"Imprinted!" Spark nearly shrieked before controlling her volume. "Just how many times has he mated you?"
"Enough, clearly," Bluefire muttered. "Now, whenever I look at him, my body just aches with desire. Thankfully, my mind is my own, but this is troublesome. I can't kick him out now, that's for certain. So, we must become his harem for the time being."
Unsurprisingly, Spark still looked unsatisfied. Both Bluefire and Dartwing looked at each other.
