Chapter 15 - Liana's POV (Inside a Dragon's Harem)
The wind gushed like crazy as soon as I took my first step.
"Looks like a storm is coming," I timidly observed, holding tight onto the lady's hand.
"Doesn't look like a storm to me.
She stood tall in front of me, looking as the bells rang.
There were a million lined up at the entrance. Almost in a pattern. It looked familiar. But I could not remember how.
They were ringing in a rhythmic pattern. Even my naive self could understand that much. Ichiona seemed deeply engrossed in it. "What is it?" I asked again.
"It's the spirit charmer my lady. We better hurry inside."
She grabbed my hand and then it felt like we became jell-o and slid inside.
"Whoa! What was that! Cool. "
I flipped my hands as if trying to check for superpowers. Freshly gained.
"It's my water power, my lady. I didn't want the chaos outside to cause you any pain. "
Ichiona explained with a warm smile.
She looked very elegant. Her features too were very sharp. But other than that, she just looked human.
"Umm, Ichiona, are you a human like me? How can you live amongst Dragons?"
I had to ask.
She flashed that warm smile again.
"I too am indeed a Dragon. But of a different kind than our Masters. The one's in the kingdom, running the governance of the realm are mostly fire dragons Or metal ones. I am an Earth Dragon. There are also other kinds. We have our specialities. Which determines our duties. "
She sweetly explained.
"Cool! Cool!"
I must have looked like a lunatic clapping in that state.
She looked at me from head to toe, then politely said.
"My lady, we need to take you to the hammam. To get you prepared. "
"Hammam? As in a bath? Wow! Sounds superb.
I really needed one at that time.
"But prepared for what exactly?"
I had forgotten to ask.
"Ahem! Tonight. "
She looked at me and I thought I knew what that implied.
"Tonight as in?"
I had to clarify it. I was in strange lands. With strange beings.
"For the master Draco. Umm, in his bed. "
Damn! The shit was true.
Draco was going to use the mate card actually. I had thought it was just part of his plan. But no. I should have known better than to trust unknown men. NOW WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO.
I knew I would have no power over him. There was nowhere I could run from this place.
Was I seriously going to be raped by this dragon?
I needed a serious back up plan.
"My lady?"
Ichiona's voice brought me back from my thought' trail.
I needed to act as normally as possible. In the meantime I would be coming up with a plan.
"Umm, Ichiona, is it normal for dragon's to have human mistresses and wives?"
I asked as she untangled the mess of my hair.
But my question made me drop something on the ground. I happened to catch her hesitant gaze as she bent to pick it up in that instant.
"I dare not be rude to my lady."

she fumbled.
"Please tell me. " I pressed her hands, " tell me as a friend. "
" Dragons do take in human's as sex slaves. Sometimes as mates. But never as wives. And Dragons can't have mistresses."
I didn't quite understand.
"Why?"
" Dragons are blessed with only one partner for their eternal life. Only a dragon body is able to bear a dragon child in its womb. But..."
"But what?"
I needed to know more.
"There were dragons who impregnated human women before."
"Then that's possible. "
I asked as if I was dying to get pregnant.
"Yes. But none of the mothers could survive the child's birth. So, taking a human wife is forbidden in the realm. Wives are the only ones who can be blessed with a dragon's lawful child. " She tried her best to explain.
"What about the sex slaves you talked about?"
"Ah! Those were women used by dragons for sexual pleasure. If a dragon's wife died or she was unable to fulfill his desires.'
"Oh! Then what are the mates?"
I asked cautiously. This was the category that currently applied to me.
"Mates aren't like slaves. They are more like what you just said, mistresses. But they can only be human. Dragons cannot keep a dragon woman as a mistress, since dragons can have only one lawful dragon wife in his entire life. " I nodded. It definitely was more dignified a position than a sex slave.
"What about the women then? Do they enjoy sex slaves as well? "
A wild fantasia arose in my mind where Draco and Lucian were both pounding over a bare body, that was mine.
" NEVER. "

Her shout almost knocked me off the ground.
Were dragons able to read minds as well?
Did I get caught with my dirty thoughts?
"Dragon women can only have a dragon husband. Having human husbands is forbidden. We can't even talk about it inside the palace.'
She indicated putting a finger on my lips.
So the boys got to have all the fun.
Anyways, it didn't have anything to do with me anyways.
"Your hair is untangled. Let me pamper you a little before you get in for your bath. "
She made me change into a very soft see through material. It felt softer than the finest silk that I had ever worn. And man, I had the best of them.
I was lying down as she had instructed me to after I had changed.
Just then I thought I heard something fall.
I got up immediately and went out to check.
My heart stopped.
God, I could have wished for anything else.
It was Lucian. He was standing there in his effortless charm. But he had his jaw dropped as soon as I came out.
Then I realized.
I WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF HIM ALMOST NAKED.
Damn.
I ran back inside crisscrossing my hands across my body.
