Discovery - [Patreon Exclusive]

The apartment was dim and quiet, the only light coming from the streetlamps outside, washing the room in a soft orange glow. The kind of late-night calm that wrapped everything in a hush. In their bedroom, the air was thick with warmth and the quiet intimacy of two bodies pressed close under a shared blanket.

Korrin lay stretched across the bed, his broad frame relaxed but heavy with heat. His charcoal-gray scales shimmered faintly in the half-light, rising and falling with slow, measured breaths. He looked peaceful, until Ash curled beside him, shifted up and straddled his waist with that familiar, mischievous look in his eyes.

Ash was always curious, always exploring like he hadn’t already mapped Korrin’s body a hundred times. He leaned in close, dragging his claws lightly down the firm chest below him, watching every twitch and breath. Korrin sighed contentedly, eyes half-lidded. Nothing unusual.

Then Ash dipped his head, kissed his way down, and on impulse, flicked his tongue against one of Korrin’s nipples.

Korrin jolted. Not a full jump, but enough to make Ash pause in surprise. His big partner’s hand flexed against the blanket, and a low sound escaped him, a breathy, involuntary grunt.

Ash froze, then looked up, eyes narrowed playfully. “Wait... what was that?”

“N-Nothing,” Korrin said a little too fast, already turning his head slightly like he could hide the growing heat in his face. His voice dropped an octave, trying to stay in control. “Don’t worry about it.”

“Oh no,” Ash grinned, already leaning back in. “You’re not getting out of this.”

He licked again, slower this time, then sucked - gently - watching as the big dragon tensed beneath him. Korrin bit down on a groan, but his tail was betraying him, thumping lightly against the foot of the bed.

“You are sensitive here,” Ash whispered with delight. “That’s so... cute.”

“Don’t,” Korrin grumbled, half-laughing, half-struggling not to melt into the sheets. “It’s not cute. It’s...”

Ash licked again. Korrin’s sentence ended in a hiss through clenched teeth.

“Oh it definitely is,” Ash teased, leaning in close to his ear. “Big, strong dragon like you... squirming just ‘cause I touched you right here?”

Korrin covered his face with one hand, groaning. But he didn’t push Ash away.

And Ash? He was already planning to make a whole night out of this new discovery.
