For song_princess, part 5

Alph had a bit of a problem. There was something he intentionally hadn't told Leanne at first, and then had just plain forgotten - as sexually active as Alph was normally, that wasn't even him at his worst. Dragons, male and female alike, actually did have something of a mating season. Normally this wasn't a problem, couples would just be exceptionally frisky for a couple of week.

Except Alph was in that season right now, and wasn't dating another dragon. His lover was Leanne, a Heron. And while she'd adapted to his sexual appetite and enjoyed their frequent trysts, she was still much more delicate than him. As intense as the urges were, despite the fact he got hard every time he so much as looked at her, he hadn't even tried to seduce her since the feelings first built up. It was so tempting to just have a quickie and take the edge off, but Alph knew if he did that, he wouldn't be able to stop himself, and without question he'd just do her over and over until the poor thing passed out.

So he'd tried to act normal, save for an uncharacteristic lack of sexual interest, hoping the phase would pass and he could make up for lost time in another week or so when he was back to normal. But for now, he was just sitting on the couch in their home, reading a book to try and distract himself.
