Chapter Ten

Dragon Ride

Abbie decided she’d drive them back to Portland. She didn’t trust the crazy Dracas’ driving. After hearing Orla’s story, and realizing none of them had ever done more than play around in a simulator, she grabbed the keys before the others could. Fianna sat up front, with Guin in the back seat.

Orla remained on guard at the cabin. She wasn’t pleased at being left behind, but someone had to stay, so they’d flipped a coin. She watched with an envious look as Abbie climbed behind the wheel.

“Take good care of my girls,” she said, and leaned in the window to kiss Abbie’s cheek. She waved at Guin and stuck her tongue out at Fianna.

“Nice,” Fianna said. “So mature.” She stuck her tongue out, too, making Orla laugh.

Abbie shifted the car into gear and they headed out. The road appeared after a while and Abbie swung onto asphalt. She eyed Fianna, the fall shadows flitting through the car window across her beautiful face. What a group, Abbie thought with a swell of unfamiliar gratitude. And they were hers. The decision to move to Portland had probably saved her life. She couldn’t wait to see what happened next.

“Hey, ladies?” Abbie said. “I’ve got a question.”

“Go for it,” Guin said.

“Are dragons gay? I mean…um…are there lesbian dragons? And, ah, all of that?” Her face was heating up. She was so lame. “You know what I mean?” She hoped they understood her.

A choking sound came from the back. Abbie glanced at Fianna, whose lips tilted in a knowing smile. She said, “You’re asking about sexual preference?” The heat in her eyes implied Abbie already knew her sexual preferences. Abbie’s sister-self chimed in with a sultry response, and Abbie almost ran the car off the road.

“Whoa! Jeezus, Fianna.” She corrected with a swerve, laughing and aroused. “So, come on, you know what I’m asking. What’s the gender story up there in dragon land?”

“I suppose you could call us gender-stable,” Guin offered.

“Women with women and men with men? Any issues?”

“No. I’ve studied gender issues in your society. I believe you would term our culture pansexual,” said Guin.

“Cool,” said Abbie. “Just one more reason to love y’all.” She waggled her eyebrows with fake lechery to the amusement of her passengers. The giggles made her feel happy. On top of everything else amazing, dragons rocked with a sense of humor.

“Just to clarify,” Fianna interjected. “There’s casual sex and then there’s mating. Mating is a serious chemical and spiritual bond between a shape-shifter pair of either sex.”

“Oh, wow.” Abbie took this in. She glanced at Fianna and caught her eyes for an electric second. Mating? Sounded like what animals did. So many…distracting thoughts.

Fianna reached over and laid her hand on Abbie’s knee. “I want to share everything with you about our culture.” Her hand moved up an inch up and she pressed with her fingers.

Abbie’s heart did a flip, the special one only Fianna inspired. The rest of her questions disappeared with the feel of Fianna’s warm hand on her thigh.
