Little Miss Iron Body (Part 8)

Susie remained resting against Kris’s chest until their warm bath turned cold and the dragoness felt a shiver run up her spine. Kris’s grip around her middle tightened; whether the human did this out of love, a search for warmth, or a combination of both was up for debate. For now, what mattered was getting out of the cold water and into dry clothes. “Cold, huh Freak?” Susie spoke through chattering fangs. “Lets get you outta this tub before you freeze, huh?”

“Yeah, sure.” Kris replied through his own set of clacking teeth. As he spoke, he gave Susie’s plush middle one last squeeze before releasing her from his hold and standing up alongside her in the tub.

Susie stepped out of the bathtub and onto the still-damp bathmat. She then bent down, picked up the towels Kris had grabbed earlier, and handed one to Kris who stood behind her.

Susie then set about drying herself off starting with her hair, followed by her arms, then her legs, and then her stump of a tail. With her extremities dried, Susie wrapped her towel around her torso and began to dry it off.

Kris was not sure if this was Susie’s usual post-shower routine or if she was putting on a show for him. Regardless of the answer, the human was not about to complain about what he saw.

Sensing his eyes upon her, Susie turned her attention towards the human. “What?” Susie jokingly snapped at Kris from under a playfully cocked eyebrow. “Never seen a naked girl dry herself off before?”

“No but I could get used to it.” Kris responded through a warm, lewd smile.

“Heh, thanks freak. Come on, lets go get dressed. I’m kinda tired of seeing all this.” As Susie spoke, she gestured towards her belly, thighs, and rear.

“I wouldn’t mind seeing it all day.”

“After what you did earlier...I may actually believe you.”

“Always happy to prove it to you again.” Kris replied as he wiggled his eyebrows.

Susie tried to respond but gave up after her third failed attempt at producing actual words. Instead, she planted a fat, wet kiss on his cheek.

“Come on freak.” Susie said while she walked out the bathroom door and into the hallway.

After a brief trek down the hall, the couple found themselves back in Susie’s room. Kris gathered his clothes from the neat pile he had left them in and dressed. As for Susie, she went about scrounging up an outfit from the various heaps of clothes scattered about her room. After a few minutes, the she dragon had managed to put together most of her standard attire, sans her jacket.

It was at this time that Kris noticed that Susie’s T-shirt slightly clung to her round frame. Noticing the human staring at her middle, Susie crossed her arms in front of her belly and raised a questioning eyebrow. “Seen my jacket?” She asked.

“Over there, by your nightstand?” Kris pointed towards where he thought he could see the sleeve of the jacket just barely poking out from under Susie’s bed.

“Lemme just grab that and we can go watch TV or something.” Susie said as she brushed past Kris towards where he had been pointing.

When Susie arrived at the side of her bed, she still could not see her jacket. She figured a closer look would reveal its hiding place, Susie dropped to her knees and began scanning the various piles of clothes and bedding near her. “Ah, there you are!” The dragoness thought as she spied one of the jacket’s sleeves sticking out from under her bed.

A quick yank from the scaled powerhouse brought the jacket out from its hiding place and along with it, a brightly colored plastic bag. Upon the bag was a picture of chicken nuggets in various animal shapes. Susie shot a clawed hand out just in time to keep the bag from reaching Kris’s field of vision. Not that it mattered, they both knew what lurked under Susie’s bed.

After Susie did not stir from her position, Kris grew concerned. He walked over and saw Susie was looking under her bed. It did not take him long to figure out what had grabbed hold of the dragon’s attention. Kris sat himself down next to Susie, placed a hand on her back, and began to run his palm up and down her spine. “You uh…you okay Sus?” Kris asked in as caring a manner as he could.

“Fuck.” The dragon huffed out as embarrassment colored her cheeks a royal purple.

“Talking about that, huh?” Kris asked as he gestured towards the underside of the bed.

“Yup.” Susie replied through a frown and from under a down-arched set of brows.

“What uh…what do you want to do about it?” The human asked as he continued to rub the prone dragon’s back.

“Burn it?” Susie said longingly as she turned her gaze towards Kris.

“Sure, why not?” Kris replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

“I was joking, freak.” As Susie looked at Kris she saw that while the human was smiling, he was not joking. “You’re serious though, aren’t you?”

“Yeah.” Kris began as he returned Susie’s stare. “I mean its mid morning, we can’t just throw the stuff in your neighbors’ trashcans like you said you’ve done before. Chances are good we’d get caught or at the very least someone would see us. And we can’t leave this stuff up here much longer. Odds are good a box or bag might end up sticking out from under your bed. If your mom came in and saw that, she might look under your bed and then...” Kris let the rest of his sentence hang, not even he was sure of how Susanne would react to seeing her daughter’s “hoard.”

“Wait a sec, whats with all this ‘we’ and ‘us’ stuff? And you’re okay with keeping this all a secret from mom and everyone?” Susie wore a rather shocked expression as she rose to a crouch to bring herself face to face with her partner.

“When’s the last time I was in trouble and you didn’t jump in, no questions asked? As for the secret thing, I mean its not my place to say anything. Honestly…Anyway, how do you purpose we burn this stuff?

A moment passed as Susie considered how to respond to Kris. The point he had left unfinished weighed on her. She considered pushing him to finish but after thinking about every bombshell she had spent the past couple of hours dropping on him, she figured that he had more than earned the right to keep a few things private, for the time being anyway.

“Well, we got a bare spot in the backyard where dad used to keep a big pile of junk.” Susie said as she pulled on her jacket. “Pretty rocky there, and I may have gone through a few boxes of matches there over the years. The fire never got past the tiny rocks so I guess it would be safe to burn the stuff there.”

“Works for me.” Kris said as he stood up. He extended his hand to the still crouching dragoness which she took. “So I the first thing we got to do is get everything out from under your bed and bag it up. That way no one will know whats burning. Where are your garbage bags?”

“I’ll show you, follow me freak.” Susie grabbed Kris’s hand and began guiding him from her room and down to the kitchen on the bungalow’s main floor. “Hey freak.” Susie began as she began pulling a bag from the roll stored in the tiny broom closet in the kitchen. “This stuff is gonna put out a lot of black smoke, think anyone is gonna say anything if they see it?”

“Maybe but then again, it is US doing it.” Kris replied as he shrugged. “Not like it would be the first time people around town saw you and me doing something weird together.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Susie replied with a chuckle. All of the heaviness of the morning began to fade from Susie’s mind. Those dark thoughts were being replaced with the warm feelings of doing something cool with Kris.

At least they were until the two returned to Susie’s room and she realized Kris would get a good look at just how big her “hoard” really was. “You know freak, this is my mess. I can take care of it myself. No need for you to have to clean up after me.”

“Up to you.” Kris began as he put his hand on Susie’s shoulder, tiptoeing to reach. “This is your thing and I don’t want to push. But you know I can tell when your lying to me, right?”

“Am not! And how do you know if I’m lying?”

“I just know is all, guess growing up around mom means I got her lie-dar powers or something.”

“Fine, I won’t lie to you freak…There is a LOT of crap under there. I know it’s stupid to worry about something like that after everything I told you and showed you. Its just really hard to have kept all this a secret for so long and NOT have a hard time letting people see it. Even if that person is you. You know?”

“I’m here for you Sus.” Kris spoke as he slipped his arm around Susie and pulled himself tight against her side.

“Well, I guess just hold the bag open and don’t laugh.” Susie sighed as she dropped to her knees and began to wiggle under the bed and pull out various bits of plastic and cardboard packaging. A half-hour and one stuffed trash bag later found Susie and Kris back on the main floor of the house. They took a few minutes to gather up winter coats, hats, gloves, and boots, before heading out to the backyard.

“Hang tight, I gotta go grab some shit from the garage so we can get to burning.” Susie said to Kris as she made her way around the side of the house to the detached garage. Kris stood where Susie had left him. He would have liked to help but he figured this was Susie’s show and it was up to her to run it. “The best thing I can do, is just be here for her.” He thought just as he heard, then saw Susie round the corner. In one hand she held a box of matches and a bottle of lighter fluid, in the other she toted a snow shovel, and wedged under her arm were a few bits of kindling.

“Come on, freak.” Susie huffed as she used a shoulder to motion to where they needed to head. They ended their short walk in the corner of the yard that was furthest from the street and partially obscured by the very outermost fringes of the nearby forest’s trees. “Alright, you shovel while I go grab us a place to sit. Sound good?”

“Sounds good.” Kris replied as he dropped the trash bag and took the shovel from Susie. A few minutes later and Kris had cleared away enough snow to see the rocky ground that Susie had mentioned earlier.

While Kris shoveled, Susie set her supplies on top of the trash bag and walked a few trees deep into the woods. After a minute of looking, she found a log that appeared to be large enough for the couple to sit on together. Using just a hint of her draconic strength, Susie lifted the log and brought it back to the impromptu fire pit just as Kris had finished his work.

Kris let out an impressed whistle as Susie dropped the log onto the ground near the pit on the side opposite the tree line. “That impressed by a little bit of dragon muscle, huh freak? Susie asked with more then a hint of pride in her voice. Kris nodded as he thrust the head of the shovel into the ground and rested against it. “Nothing to it really. I AM little miss iron body after all, remember?” Susie finished with a snort of laughter.

The dragoness then gathered up the kindling and arranged it in a tee-pee style stack at the center of the clearing Kris had made. She then doused the logs in lighter fluid, struck a match, and flicked it into the pile of combustibles. With a snap and a whoosh, the flames leaped to life creating a great orange pillar of heat. Susie sported a smile as she stared into the flame; she thought of the fires she and Susanne had sat next to together when she was younger.

Susie stirred from her trance when she felt something brush against her arm. It was Kris with the garbage bag. “Seems like you should be the one to do the honors.” The human said far more solemnly then he had planned as he handed the bag to Susie.

“I guess, huh?” Susie replied as she took hold of the sack. Then there came a pop and a tear began to form along the parameter of the bag. “Shit!” Susie shouted as she realized she had punctured the bag with a misplaced claw tip.

For a split second, Susie saw in her mind the bag tearing open completely and the wrappers, bags, and boxes there in being spread about the entire neighborhood by a gust of wind. However, before the rip could widen, a set of human hands pinched the hole together.

“Together then?” Kris asked.

“Yeah, together.” Susie replied.

With a silent heave ho, the bag was tossed into the tiny bonfire. After a few seconds the newest fuel for the flame began to burn, creating a harsh smelling, black smoke. To avoid the noxious fumes emanating from the pyre, the couple took a seat on the log Susie had hauled up from the woods. After a while the bag and its contents had been burnt to ash and sludge. Yet neither the human or dragon rose from their seat. Only when the fire was down to a few embers did Susie get up. She walked back to the edge of the woods and gathered up a decent sized bundle of twigs and branches. She then tossed the bundle into the fire, and just for good measure, hit the near-dead flames with a squirt of lighter fluid.

The flames rose once more and the dragon retook her spot next to the human. After a few minutes, both Susie and Kris got up and each collected enough scrap wood to create a decent pile of kindling near their feet. They spent the rest of the morning maintaining the flames and enjoying the other’s company. No words of significance were spoken during that time. The peace remained unbroken until the pile of wood was gone.

“Wanna head inside, freak?” Susie asked as she rose from the log.

“Yeah, once the fire dies. If that’s okay with you?” Kris replied his eyes locked on the slowly shrinking fire.

“Sure.” Was all Susie said as she sat back down next to the human.

“Hey Kris.” A slight uncertainty had come into her voice as Susie spoke.

“Yeah?”

“Earlier before we picked up all the stuff, you started to say something but you didn’t finish. What were you going to say?”

“Oh that. Well I guess…I guess I was going to say that…that I want to help you Susie. I just don’t know how and I-I don’t want you to think I’m trying to tell you what to do, or how to live your life, or anything like that.” Kris’s voice cracked as he managed to complete his sentence. “I want to help Sus but I don’t really know how or what I can do and that makes me feel useless, which makes me feel awful because this is about you and not me.” Finished, the human let out a defeated sigh and hung his head.

Silence filled the air after Kris finished his confession. Susie stood, stepped directly in front of the crestfallen human, dropped to her knees in the snow, and pulled Kris into a strong, warm embrace. “You still being here is all I will EVER need from you dude. I couldn’t ask for a better friend, or partner, or lover, or anything. Kris, I thought you were gonna run when you saw me this morning and then I thought the same thing after I told you everything. The fact you’re still here, it’s better than any reaction I ever even dreamed of whenever I thought about telling anyone about any of this…even mom. I’m so sorry that I thought you’d run. You’re a way better person then that and like I said, the fact your still here after everything is all that I need from you, ever.”

The pair stayed like that until the last dying embers of the fire spurted out and all that remained of it was the smell of smoke and the acidic tang of burnt plastic.

“You ready to go inside now, freak?” Susie asked as she felt her back rapidly beginning to cool in the fire’s absence.

“Yeah, lets go inside. I don’t know about you but I could go for some lunch.”

“Same here freak.” Susie chuckled as she stood and hauled Kris, still in her embrace, up with her.

“You know, this is the second time a dragon has picked me up today.” Kris said as Susie placed him back on the ground.

“What other drag…damn it mom.” Susie scowled as she and Kris walked towards the backdoor of the bungalow, Kris laughing as they did so.

As she opened the door, Susie realized something. She had not had an issue agreeing to lunch. Before now, she had always had to force herself to think through her response whenever Kris talked to her about anything food related. The way she just responded had been totally natural. She smiled at that thought as the couple ditched their winter apparel and entered the kitchen. Susie took a seat while Kris made them a lunch of sandwiches and chips. A lunch that Susie ate without the trepidation she usually felt when eating around others, especially around Kris.

When they had finished eating, the pair made their way into the living room. Susie plopped down into her usual spot on the old, beat up couch. She rested her back against one of the arms and laid her legs out across the remaining cushions.

“Ack, this thing smells like burnt plastic, gross.” Susie said as she began to tug off her jacket. “Guess I don’t really need it if I’m inside, huh?” The dragoness dropped her jacket to the ground next to her. It took Kris only a few seconds to again notice the way that Susie’s T-shirt clung to her plump middle and accentuated her soft form.

“So uh…where am I sitting?” Kris asked as he continued to stare at Susie.

“Right here.” Susie said as she spread her legs and padded the spot in front of her.

“R-really?”

“Yeah, that whole cuddling thing we did earlier was nice. Kinda wanna do it again. Got a problem with that, freak?” Susie growled through a mock sneer.

Kris said nothing as he took a seat in the spot Susie had indicated. He remained silent as Susie gently draped her arms over his shoulders and placed her hands against his chest. He did however, let out the tiniest and softest of moans after she finished guiding him backwards so that his back was flat against her plush belly and his neck was between her breasts.

“This is nice, I see why you like to be the one playing pillow.” Susie whispered, her breath hot, her tongue almost flicking against Kris’s ear. “How bout you, like your seat?”

“Ye-yeah, no complaints from my end.” Kris stammered as he nestled himself more comfortably against Susie.

“Good.” Was all Susie said through a big grin, her amber eyes full of pure happiness. “What you wanna watch?” The dragoness asked as she grabbed the remote from the coffee table in front of her.

“Any scary movies on?” Kris asked feeling dejected by the abrupt shift in the topic of conversation.

“Not any good ones at this time of year.” Susie replied with a sigh. “Maybe something about a killer turkey? Or one of those ones that’s about Halloween stuff but it was so bad it got held back tell now?”

“Fine with me.” Kris said as he let out a contended sigh. As far as the human was concerned, he could spend the rest of the day watching paint dry so long as he could do it from his current perch.

“Suit yourself freak.” Susie said as she turned on the TV and flicked to the one channel she knew would have the shlock she and Kris both loved. The two settled in and began their so-bad-its good movie marathon; laughing and groaning as appropriate. After the first movie ended Kris got up from the couch, much to Susie’s annoyance, and made his way to the bathroom.

“Hey while your up, hit the lights, will you?” Susie shouted from the couch. “This stuff almost looks sorta okay in the dark, you know?”

“Sure thing.” Kris replied as he flipped off the lights in the living room and made his way upstairs to the bathroom.

When Kris had finished in the bathroom and returned to the living room, he found Susie was still right where he had left her. Except she had a blanket pulled up around herself. Kris felt a nagging sense of familiarity chew at the back of his mind but paid it no heed as he took his seat in front of Susie and snuggled back in.

While the first movie had been able to hold his attention, Kris could not seem to focus on the one currently playing. That same sense of odd familiarity from before would not leave him be. Additionally, Susie kept fidgeting whenever he started to get comfortable.

“Everything okay back there? Kris asked, his voice holding a hint of irritation.

“Er, yeah.” Susie huffed in response. “Think a branch got through one of the holes in my jeans and nicked me good. Can’t really reach it at this angle though, would you check for me?”

“Oh, sure. You okay?” The human inquired, the irritation in his voice fast disappearing.

“Probably, just don’t wanna dust up the blanket or couch and freak mom out. Here let me show you where I think I got hit.” Susie removed her arm from under the blanket and took hold of Kris’s wrist. She guided the human’s hand behind him and under the blanket. Once under the cover, Kris felt Susie place his hand on her bare hide through what Kris assumed was one of the holes in her jeans.

“Feel a cut?” Susie asked, her mouth once again tantalizingly close to Kris’s ear.

“No.” Kris responded, his cheeks and neck growing warm.

“Must be a little further up then. Just slide your hand back a bit, you can’t be too far off.” Kris felt the tip of Susie’s tongue just barely graze his ear as she spoke.

Kris did as he was told and slid his hand further up Susie’s lush thigh. After moving a few inches and not encountering any denim, the human fast realized that Susie had discarded her jeans. Kris kept going further up Susie’s thigh until his hand brushed against her unclothed belly. She had apparently done away with her boxers alongside her jeans. This last realization caused Kris to let out a pleasantly surprised gasp.

“Like what you found?” Susie asked Kris through a lust riddled smile.

“Always but I can’t help but think we may have done this before. Except it started with you on the ground and not me.”

“Wha-?” Susie began but was cut off as Kris slid off her and the couch, and landed on the ground between where the dragoness sat, and the coffee table in front of the couch.

Kris ducked under the blanket and grabbed hold of Susie’s legs. He then swung them along with the blanket, up above him. The human then lowered Susie’s legs so that her heels rested on the table behind him. He then brought his head up between Susie’s knees and pushed the dragon’s legs apart. The aroma of Susie’s scent trapped under the blanket enclosure instantly filled Kris with a feeling of irresistible lust. Within seconds of being eye level with Susie’s sex he began to kiss his way up her thigh.

Susie for her part was quite stunned by Kris’s actions and by the time she had figured out what was going on, found herself unable to do anything but moan as Kris’s lips quickly scaled her thigh and made contact with her now dripping nethers.

Unlike when they had been in the bedroom, Kris did not veer from his path. He kissed his way around Susie’s opening before finally planting a kiss on her lower lips and slowly snaking his tongue into her.

The taste was smokier than Kris had thought it would be. It did not matter though, at least not to Kris. His mind had succumbed to the basest form of lust. The most coherent thought he had was the drive to find Susie’s clit and kiss, lick, and suck upon it. When this directive was achieved, Kris did nothing but focus on driving his mate to orgasm as quickly as possible.

And that is exactly what he did. Within the span of several minutes, Susie felt the shudders of an orgasm run down her spine as deep moans emanated from her drooling maw. After regaining a degree of composure, Susie took hold of the blanket and threw it off her lap revealing Kris’s panting from. His head rested on one of her plump thighs, his hot breath tickled at her sex.

The two stared into each others’ eyes before Kris rose to his feet, undid his belt, kicked off his pants and boxers, and fell upon Susie’s prone form. Within seconds, the pairs’ tongues were intertwined and their hips were grinding against one another. Soon, human hands roamed across supple dragon-belly hide, while dragon claws found themselves being raked down human-back flesh.

After a spat of dry humping and feral groping, Kris pulled back from the kiss, a string of saliva connecting his lips to Susie’s. He slid down Susie’s torso and aligned his throbbing cock with Susie’s soaking sex. The pair resumed their kissing almost as soon as Kris entered her. The slapping sound their bodies made as they met was near loud enough to drawn out the pairs’ moaning.

As they both neared climax, their carnal actions became almost bestial in aspect. Kris found himself clamping his hands like they were iron vices onto Susie’s soft sides. With each thrust, his grip grew tighter, and as his grip grew tighter, his thrusts grew deeper. For her part, Susie found she was prodding her claws deeper and harder into Kris’s back. As she felt herself reach climax her shuddering drove one or her claw points deep enough to draw a small trickle of blood from her lover. As soon as Kris felt Susie’s orgasm he too hit his climax and jack-hammered himself against his lover until he filled her with rope upon rope of cum.

Kris collapsed on top of Susie. Both he and the dragon gasping to catch their breath. After a few minutes the fugue wore off and the pair softly embraced one another.

“That… that was fucking crazy, dude!” Susie said through a tired smile, her breath still coming in soft pants.

“Yeah, you can say that again.” Replied Kris as he bent his head forward and planted a kiss at the base of Susie’s neck.

“And look at that.” Susie began. “I didn’t even need to wreck your belt this time. Guess you finally figured out its pretty dumb to try and keep a dragon from her treasure.”

“Yeah, only need to lose one belt to learn that lesson. Kris chuckled as he sat up and leaned himself back against the other arm of the couch.

“Where do you think you’re going, freak?

“I’m the pillow now.” Kris replied as he patted his chest with one hand and beckoned Susie to join him with the other.

“Fine with me.” Susie replied as she shifted to sit up. As she did so, she felt the bottom of her thighs come to rest in the results of her and Kris’s love making.

“Damn it!” Susie snapped at first thinking she would have to explain a stain on the couch to Susanne. Upon closer inspection though, Susie saw that her jeans, which she had been sitting on, had taken the brunt of the damage. “Well that could be worse. Still sucks, these were my cleanest jeans.” Susie said as she pulled the pants out from under herself and casually tossed them on the floor.

“Aren’t they still?” Kris asked as he chuckled at his own joke.

“Shut it, freak.” Susie warmly growled as she tossed Kris’s boxers and pants at him.

The pair dressed themselves; Kris completely and Susie in her T-shirt and boxers. Once both of them were properly attired, Kris returned to his reclined position against the arm of the couch. Susie meanwhile grabbed the blanket she had been using earlier, snuggled her back against Kris’s chest, and covered up herself and Kris.

Kris to his surprise and delight found that Susie’s shirt had ridden up slightly when she had settled in. As such, he had unfettered access to her middle which he immediately set about caressing and kneading.

After only a moment of surprise, Susie found herself actually enjoying the attention Kris was paying to her once-most-hated feature. In fact, she found her lover’s touch to be calming, soothing even. So soothing in fact that the dragoness soon found herself fighting to keep her eyes open.

Before she knew it, Susie had drifted off to sleep. The morning’s events had sapped the dragoness of her usual vim and vigor. Soon after she fell asleep, she began to snore. Upon hearing the dragoness’s snoring, Kris craned his neck down and kissed the top of Susie’s head. “Sleep well.” He whispered as he continued to hold his sleeping lover. After a few minutes Kris too felt his eyelids begin to grow heavy. Soon, the human joined the dragon in slumber.

They remained like that for the rest of the afternoon and well into the evening. Both so deeply asleep that not even a pair of bright headlights shining directly through the living room window and onto their resting place woke them. Shortly after the headlights were extinguished, Susanne opened the front door of the bungalow and slipped off her boots.
