Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Ryu laid back, looking at the ceiling. Between his legs, curled up like a kitten, or maybe like a dragon, Selheira lay apparently sleeping. She used his thigh as a pillow and she seemed to have completely forgotten the word around her, a look of satisfaction on her face. This woman didn't seem capable of even sleeping normally, it seemed. She just curled herself into a ball, and when he thought she'd try to sleep by his side, she took the weirdest position possible.

He couldn't lie, he found it a little amusing.

At the end of the day, Selheira was, indeed, not a human. In fact, Ryu had never heard of a beast taking human form at all. It should be something that only the absolute highest levels of beasts were capable of, or it was possible that Selheira was using a special technique of some sort.

From a human lens, she was very obviously a masochist, a woman who liked to be dominated and ruled. And on that spectrum, she was pretty far on the crazy side.

Mae had a little bit of that in her, and their first time together had been mostly him suppressing her more Matriarchal tendencies, while Elena was a woman of many fascinations, she liked to try all sorts of things. There was Isemeine as well, but that was even less about Isemeine's desires and just the result of the nature of their relationship.

This was all to say that there weren't any real masochists among Ryu's harem, and certainly none on the level of Selheira. It was probably even more accurate to say that less than the fact they were masochists, it was more so that Ryu tended to like to be in a dominant position, resulting in this series of "coincidences".

He still remembered his first time quite well. Elena had let them take the reins, and their time was sweet, soft and as tame as could be. However, while he loved Elena with all his heart, and he also cherished that memory...

He hated that feeling.

Elena could have snapped him like a twig millions of times over back then. Even when it came to penetrating her, he could feel how she had to concentrate on controlling her muscles so that she didn't harm him.

He hated everything about that night except for the woman in his arms. It was maybe the greatest moment of weakness he had had in his life.

It could be said that this had birthed a tendency to really take the reins now that he had strength of his own. He wouldn't say that he "took it out" on his women as he knew how to be gentle as well. There was nothing taboo about his first time with Ailsa, nor Yaana.

However, when he felt any sort of pushback, he unleashed his own beast.

The point wasn't really about him, though. Everyone had their own nature, their own likes, and he actually felt that calling Selheira a masochist might be inappropriate only because calling her one would probably require calling all female beasts one.

This was less about Selheira's quirks as a woman, and more so her nature as a beast.

They were a primal race and the imbalance between men and women was even fiercer than it would be among others.

This was the price to pay for that great, Heaven Blessed talent. There was less room to maneuver along their own paths and follow their own wishes. They too often fell into a cookie cutter mold and pushed out the door with a bundle of power in their arms.

For a genius of the Crystal Dragons like Selheira, before today it had probably been her destiny to be pushed down, maybe even against her own will-no, maybe almost certainly against her own will-and ravaged by some beast man with a bloodline comparable or superior to her own.

That was the culture of beasts.

When it manifested in their beast forms, it was easy to ignore and overlook. It was just animals being animals and even mortals wouldn't blink at the sight of it. But when they became humans, it felt much more real and raw... just like this moment had been.

This perspective made Ryu's opinion of Selheira soften considerably. It made a lot of their earlier dynamic make sense.

Selheira had obviously been "shit-testing" him. Even if they were destined to be dominated, beast women still had fiery tempers, they were unruly and arrogant. They wouldn't give any men they thought were weak of strength or weak of mind the time of day, and even those they felt were ready would still have to break down that final barrier.

To Ryu, he hadn't even known Selheira was a beast back then, he only casually put her in her place because she was starting to piss him off.

She was much subtler than most beast women would be, probably. She was also much gentler and she hid her edge extremely well. Her barbs couldn't be seen until you pulled back a few layers. It might have also been helped by the fact she was clearly not following the usual path of her kind.

Selheira was the perfect example of what happened when you deviated from your designed path as a beast. Her progress was agonizingly slow, she spent decades at the Peak of the World Sea Realm before finally breaking through, and her talent was suppressed in practically all aspects.

It could be said that the fact Ryu had made her wait for so long to finally take her had been absolutely agonizing. But at the same time, this moment of going back to her true nature had loosened her up and made her feel much more relaxed.lightsnovel

Ryu took a look at the curve of her ass. She was curled into a little ball and her face was toward him, so he couldn't see much more than a beautiful curve, but he wasn't being a pervert, for once.

Instead, he was looking at a small collection of gem-like crystals shimmering at the very bottom of the small of her back.

Those crystals hadn't been there before. He would know, he had spent enough time railing her from behind to understand every inch of that backside quite intimately.

At the start, the only places Selheira had those little collection of scales was right under her eyes on her soft cheeks, and they also seemed to replace her pubic hair. It was quite a beautiful sight.

Now, however, there was another, and it seemed more prominent, forming a little tail that jetted out barely a few centimeters.

Ryu fell into contemplation. It definitely wasn't a coincidence.

Selheira was trying to balance a new path she wanted to follow with her old self. After opening up to Ryu and really basking in her beast half, she had taken a small step forward.

Her Dao Heart was clearer and she was at peace, the frustration of the past few years completely forgotten.

Which was funny, considering she was sleeping there with her hair a mess and with dried tear streaks on her cheeks.

Even so, she was like the perfect little beauty even though there was nothing little about her. How such a tall woman with such large breasts and wide hips could also give a petite woman a run for her money in her realm of expertise was beyond Ryu.

lightsnοvεl But he liked it.

Selheira stirred, seemingly sensing Ryu's gaze. But what she was really feeling was his heat, because after observing her body in silence for so long, he was already at full mast again. Her cheek was resting on his thighs, the point of her little nose just a few centimeters from that raging heat. She tilted her head, kissing at his balls obediently as though she was ready to take responsibility for what she had caused. But, she didn't get far before Ryu had reached down and cupped her chin, pulling her up toward him until she straddled him, his cock resting between her cheeks.

"Husband?" She asked softly, a hint of confusion and lust in her sparkling blue eyes. From time to time, that blue would flash with gorgeous pinks and violets, swirling before returning to normal.

Ryu pulled her chin down and kissed her. It was a soft kiss, gentle and lacking any sort of roughness. It was long and sustained, stirring something else within Selheira. Tears began to run down her cheeks, but this time for a completely different reason entirely.

They pulled apart.

"You know what to do," Ryu said softly.

Selheira nodded, somewhat weakly. She reached back and grabbed Ryu's shaft, ready to slide it into her asshole again. She felt it wasn't her place to choose the place she wanted, she deserved to be degraded and conquered.

A flare of heat came up her chest again as she felt the tip slide inside her. But before she could swallow the whole thing, Ryu's hands held up her waist.

"No," Ryu shook his head, pulling her up and grabbing her waist. They swapped places and suddenly Selheira found herself pinned down.

Ryu's eyes gazed into hers with a clear softness and her tears flooded even faster. Her heart beat could practically be seen between those soft breasts of hers, her white skin flashing with red.

She felt Ryu at her entrance. He slid in oh so slowly, allowing her to feel the grace of every inch.

"I'm going to teach you how to make love like a human," he said softly, covering her lips.

Selheira's palms pressed against Ryu's cheeks. As she closed her eyes, savoring the sweetness, her tears fell like the rain and her lips were covered by a familiar warmth.
