It was a slow, quiet night in castle Underhewn. Carved from a singular white rock, the broad, towerless bastion sat on a hill above the town it protected. Windows glowed with light of those burning midnight oil and the few keeping watch in this slower part of the world.
Inside the castle itself guards on the night shift patrolled the halls, sconces gave a low glow to light the way of the restless and the vigilant. In the hot summer night the castle remained cool, pristine white stone with long blue rugs that made travel without boots pleasant.
In the upper halls of the castle princess Laele's door remained shut and locked a lamp gave off a soft glow, enough to see what she was writing as she took notes on a late night inspiration. She hummed the tune to herself, marking notes on sheet music. Sitting in comfort her lighter summer nightgown gave a rough sketch of her body, a comfortable favorite of hers when she had nowhere to go, no one to see.
Her room held a large bed covered in silks with hanging drapes, a sizable wardrobe where she kept her favorite outfits and spare sheet music, two brassy, new music stands, a fancy violin, an old lute, a sturdy, wooden desk she wrote at adorned with a lamp and a golden dragon's scale, and a broad double window overlooking the city.
On this window there was a rhythmic thump, a familiar pattern, an agreed upon one. Her brow furrowed as she set her music down and approached, unlocking and opening the windows.
A great gold-scaled claw gripped the windowsill, the head of a proud gold dragon rose up to meet her. His eyes wild, his jaws parted in a pant as he lifted his bulk over the window and pulled himself into the room, gouging the floor with his claws. His body shook with each breath and his heavy tail hung outside the window, his frenzy fixed on Laele.
The princess gasped as the dragon pulled himself into her room taking a step back, then as he marked up the floor she chided him, "Gal! You aren't supposed to be here! How am I supposed to explain all these marks in the floor? And get your tail in here, if you haven't been caught yet you will."
She walked past him to the window. With a grunt she pulled him up into the room, letting it thwap against the ground.
"What's wrong? Why are you giving me that look Gal?"
The dragon Gallerus panted, moving towards her with an intense look in his eye. Laele backed up to her bed, stumbling back on it as he approached. The dragon's muscular bulk was illuminated by the low light, the gleam of his scales subdued, with each step his musculature was on display to her.
Laele scooted back as he took his first steps onto the bed, backed up to the headboard. "Hurdy gurdy!"
Gal blinked, coming out of his trancelike state and flopping on the bed, his head a few feet from her as he made a frustrated huff, Laele squeaking at the rush of hot air.
"Gal.. what's wrong? You're usually not like this."
A rumble passed through his chest that rattled the wood of the bed. A frustrated look sat upon his draconic features as his wings stayed pinned to his back. "...I am in a rut."
"In a.. oh that's all?" Laele laughed with an unexpected snort. She fell back on the pillows with a sigh.
"I thought you were sick or crazed, the way you came in here so late."
"...the rut is worse this time."
Laele tilted her head, "why is it worse, love?"
"I think it is because I have a partner. My body wants me to rut harder."
A light blush dusted her cheeks, and she laid down to face his snout, "because of me huh? I guess I better help with that."
"Laele, you have not seen a rut-"
She silenced him with a kiss to his snout, stroking his scales. "Lets just help you tonight, tomorrow I'll take care of you."
"But-"
"Let me get a few buckets, there's already a mess here and we don't need it to get worse. It'll be fun Gal, relax."
Gallerus waited, flopped on the bed. Laele set about clearing the room, pushing her instrument cases to the side, cleaning off her desk, and lastly she hushed the dragon to sneak outside and ask a guard on patrol for two cleaning buckets, one filled with water and the other empty. Each simple wooden bucket was two feet across and a foot deep. He watched as she set these on the floor, her back to the window.
She sat down cross-legged, back to the window, rolling up the sleeves to her night gown. "Alright love, come over here, let me help you."
Both front claws hit the floor with a thud as he made his way to her. His head met her first and nuzzled the crook of her shoulder. Laele giggled, tracing kisses along his neck with a feathery touch. As she did she gasped, spotting the long, heavy member of his with swaying, full balls. She swore he was thicker than last time, his nuts more swollen, his body hotter to the touch as his breath began to quicken with her touch.
"Gods.. have you been that hard this entire time?"
"..it is a rut."
"That's amazing.. don't worry Gal, I'll take care of you. I need you to let me know when you're close, ok? I'm going to keep your release in this bucket, then tomorrow you can get as messy as you want." As she spoke she let the nightgown begin to slip around her shoulders, lamplight casting shadows over the valley of her cleavage.
She giggled as his pupils dilated with her words, his cock jerking, fat drops of precum fell from the tip.
