Hidden Flame 49

**Avery**
After I learned to fly with Clint and we made love, we returned home to animosity and jealousy from Cassius and Conner.
Clint whispered to me that he would talk with them. I went to my room to allow him to do that. I decided to read and try
to learn all I could about everything that is dragon. I have to find a way for us all to get along. I must fall asleep because
before I know it, it’s morning. My stomach rumbles verifying that I slept through dinner.
I got up and took a quick shower. I dried my hair and put it into a ponytail. After I put on my underwear and bra, I found
a comfortable casual dress and put it on before I headed to the kitchen. I stopped in my tracks when I saw The Trio
shirtless cooking. Conner turned and said, “Sit.”
I sat and watched them work together to make us breakfast. I saw Conner put a few things into a wicker basket. Soon
they placed a huge breakfast in front of me. We ate and talked about music and movies. Once we were finished, Conner
put on his shirt and grabbed the basket before he offered me his hand. “I am going to show you a few things and if
you’re good, I will treat you to what is in this basket,” Conner said.
We walked through the palace grounds to a spot I had never been to before. As we rounded a large building, there was
an open area that had several targets spread around. Conner sat the basket down and walked behind a large bail of hay
that had a target on it. He returned holding a bow and a satchel of arrows. “I am going to teach you archery, and if by the
end you get at least one bullseye, I will give you a reward,” he says. “Now watch me as I explain and demonstrate the
basics for you. Don’t worry if it doesn’t come naturally. It took me a few months before I got my first bullseye.”
I watched as he stepped away from me. He stood a good distance from the target as he began to speak, “First, establish
a good space.” He motions around, “Make sure the area is secure, well-defined, and free of hazards. This is why outdoor
spaces are often ideal because they provide more space and fewer distractions. Next, is proper stance. The shooter’s
body should be perpendicular to the target, with their feet shoulder-width apart and both behind the shooting line. Hold
the bow by the grip with the shooting arm straight out. Now look how I am holding the bow. Next, I will show you how
to nock an arrow, draw it, and release it. Pay attention to my fingers.”
His instructions and demonstration were clear and concise. I watched him even split an arrow as he hit multiple targets.
He was so calm and confident. He approached me and handed me the bow and an arrow. “Now try,” he said. I did my
best to mimic what he had shown me, but my arrow either fell out of the bow or sailed wide of the target if it didn’t fall
to the ground beforehand. As my frustration was mounting, he stood behind me and I felt his hands correct my stance.
He ran his hands over my body to my arms. “Nock the arrow,” he said. I complied and he adjusted it before he rested his
chin on my shoulder and whispered, “Let it fly.”

The arrow evenly flew towards the target. It hit dead center. I dropped the bow and threw my arms around Conner’s
neck. I kissed him passionately. He picked me up and spun me around as our lips stayed locked. When he sat me down,
his tongue met mine in a frenzied dance. He broke the kiss and went over to the basket. He pulled out a blanket and laid
it on the ground. “The food can wait, but I did promise you a reward if you got a bullseye. Come here,” he said.
I walked over to him. He lifted my dress over my head. “Lay down on your stomach,” he commanded. My body eagerly
obliged. He kneeled beside me and removed something from the basket. Soon I felt his warm hands smoothing oil over my shoulders and down my back. His deft fingers kneaded my muscles and turned my body into a limp gooey mess. I
had never been given a massage before and it felt like paradise. He kissed the shell of my ear and whispered, “Avery, I
want you.”
With the realization of his words dawning on me, I turned my head and kissed him to convey that I wanted him too. Not
caring if anyone saw, Conner removed his shirt and lowered his pants and underwear, freeing his hard cock. He moved
my panties to the side as he guided his cock into me from behind. His movements were slow at first before they became
faster and harder. He tugged on my ponytail and also kissed the back of my neck as he pulled me into him. I felt him
begin to throb. “Cum with me, Avery,” he panted.
I allowed myself to let go and felt orgasms rock my body as he came. He fell down beside me and pulled me to him. He
kissed me as he held me close. Conner pulled up his underwear and pants and then put his shirt on before he grabbed
my dress. He kissed me before he lowered it over my head. “I want you to hit a few more targets and then we will have
lunch,” he said.
I picked up the bow and assumed my stance. He handed me an arrow and I nocked it. I closed my eyes and remembered
how Conner positioned and held me before I made that bullseye. Determined, I opened my eyes and exhaled as I let the
arrow fly. To my surprise, it landed dead center. Conner cheered as I jumped for joy. He handed me another arrow and
told me to do it again. I split the arrow. He kept handing me arrow after arrow and I hit target after target. Once the
satchel was empty, he kissed me passionately. He rested his forehead on mine, “Avery, you keep amazing me. You are
perfect. You’re the queen our tribe has needed for centuries. I love you!”
He kissed me again as he backed me up against the building. His hands roamed down my body to the underside of my
thighs as he lifted them up. He sucked on my neck as my legs gripped him like a vice. His hand crept between our bodies
to lower his zipper and free his cock. He pushed my panties to the side and inserted a finger. Finding me wet and ready,
he replaced his finger with his cock. As he thrust himself inside, he kissed me and pinned the backs of my hands against
the building. It was cool against the bare parts of my skin. I was at the mercy of our lust and I loved it.
After we both came and regained our composure, we put away the archery equipment and had a picnic. When we weren’t chatting, we sat in companionable silence. With our hearts and bellies full, we returned to the palace. Conner told
his brothers about my newly acquired skill and how proud he was as he wrapped his arms around me. I felt that same
animosity and jealousy waft from Cassius and now Clint. This can’t keep happening!
