The teapot was steamy hot to the touch, with vapor seeping from its open lid. Orange fish, brown sticks, and an ornate blue flower adorned the pot’s white ceramic surface.

Jake didn’t need to touch it to know that it’d probably burn his fingers. Thankfully, there was no need, for dragons proved much more tolerant to heat as the black and blue dragon poured the contents into a cup on the table.

Amaris was indeed a beautiful dragon. Gorgeous in every way, with rich patterns of light blue stripes on her cheeks, back, and forearms, with a river of the stuff on her underbelly. Fins of the same color dotted her spine, and even the horns on her head and nose were blue as well. Purple irises could be mistaken for amethyst gemstones imbedded into her adorable face. Her body was slender and elegant, and while she lacked wings, she made up for it with swiftness on the ground.

God, he could spend forever looking at her.

At the moment, he was sitting on a fold-up seat at a fold-up table in the middle of the woods, letting Amaris treat him to his first cup of tea.

The dragon was currently lying down, using her tail to handle the pot. “I hear dragon fire makes it even better. Though I wouldn’t know that because I’ve never warmed tea without my own fire!”

“Fair enough.” Chuckled Jake, adoring the irony in her statement. “What kind of tea is this again?”

“Green tea. It’s a good start for you.” The tail carried the pot to her muzzle. “Cheers~.”

Jake raised his cup into the air towards her with a smile before bringing it to his mouth while Amaris poured her own tea into her tongue, letting it flow towards her throat. All Jake did was take a sip, then let his arms rest on the table.

Amaris ceased her pouring to look at Jake, filled with anticipation.

He smiled. “It’s really good.”

Her smile widened in turn. “I’m glad to make another tea lover!” Opening her mouth, she resumed finishing off her tea.

It took longer for Jake, but eventually, his cup went empty. “Thank you for this! It was really nice!”

“My pleasure, cutie. Come over any time you like for a drink. My pot will always be warm.”

“That’s not the only thing~.” Smirked Jake.

Amaris’s eyes widened in recoil, and for two seconds, she simply stared before exploding into laughter. “Oh, hush you!” Her tail slithered through the air to Jake, wrapping around his waist and hoisting him out of the chair. The arms of the dragon spread wide open until Jake was placed against her chest, surrounded by black and blue scales.

This action created a slight blush on Jake’s cheeks as he spread his arms wide open across the blue underbelly. “So, this is your reply? Hugging me close?” He said as he arched his head back to view her lovely face.

Amaris giggled. “That’s only step one, my sweet human~.” The purple tongue hiding behind her lips briefly revealed itself in a quick lick of her chops, hinting at what was to come.

The only reply from Jake was a sigh and shake of his head. “You sure do like me, don’t ya? I guess this is a good way to spend some time right now. Does this make me your crumpet?”

The joke made Amaris giggle louder. “Sure, the crumpet to my tea~. If only we lived in England.”

“Hah! If only!” Jake laughed brightly.

Continuing to giggle, Amaris brought her head down, giving her prey’s head a quick smooch before lashed out her tongue, coiling around Jake, and pulling him up in one swift motion. From there was a snap of the jaws and a giggle. From outside, the slick noises of the tongue could be heard as Amaris tormented Jake with her slathering. The teeth were the bars to her torture chamber, where she took delight in participating in her craft. It was a war crime to commit torture, and this was a war of fun between the two, which Amaris was on the top of the list for most wanted!

It was steaming in there, and if it were cold enough, the dragon’s breath would certainly appear matching a mysterious fog coming down the forest. It became impossible to be dry, while every ounce of his clothes soaked up dragon saliva in the amount that borderlines total submersion.

With a simple raise of her tongue, Amaris forced Jake between the appendage and her palette. “You twaste sooooow gud!” Boomed the dragon’s voice in a slur. The next thing that happened, the human was being forced backward towards her throat, and it was pretty obvious where that would be taken.

GULP!

A smack of the chops followed, with the sigh of a content woman, but not any mere woman.

A lady.

Falling into Amaris’s purple stomach with a plop, Jake immediately set on getting himself comfortable within his fleshy home. A small amount of green sloshed about on the floor, but it barely qualified as a puddle. “If you love tea so much, and your tea winds up here, does that mean you like me as much as your tea?” He giggled and looked up at the ceiling in the darkness.

The dragon’s voice replied back, booming like an omnipresent god. “Oh, darling, I love you! You have a much more special place in my heart than tea! Thank you for joining me and allowing me to treat you to your first tea~.”

Jake flipped onto his side and into a sleeping position. “Since I’m clearly going to be here for a while, I might as well take a nap. Care to join?”

Amaris laid her head down close to her belly. “Sure thing, my little biscuit~.”

A gift for my good friend  LadyAmaris... we've only known each other for so little time but it feels it's been years... you've been such an amazing friend. A small token of my gratitude for all the joy you've given me.

Though tea didn't turn out to be something I liked, I appreciate your encouragement to me to try new things!
