Matt was quietly excited to meet his date, a handsome looking red dragoness called Emily. The two of them have been chatting back and forth for days now and she finally decided to come over. There were so many things he wanted to experience up close with her. The smooth scales on her skin, her cute long muzzle embraced in an intimate kiss. The list goes on. He checks his hair and outfit again for the third time in five minutes. He wanted to make a good first impression at all costs and she said she'd be here at 7, mere minutes away.
He calms yourself by whipping out his phone and looking at the pictures she'd sent. A few cute shots of her face, highlighting her draconic features. A few aerial shots along with the promise that if Matt was real sweet she'd take him for a ride. Though it didn't take much to guess that the ride she was talking about didn't have anything to do with flying. He may feel bad for thinking it, but her messages did make her sound quite eager to get to the action. Not that it mattered too much. Getting to score with a dragon was more than he could've ever imagined himself achieving romantically. He scans the room one last time to make sure everything is perfect for his guest.
The heavy beat of wings suddenly echoed all around him. Emily was arriving. But if that was the volume her wings could produce he might run into an issue. It now dawned on Matt that in his eagerness to meet her he never quite accounted for her size. Her pictures didn't really have a lot of reference material to suggest her to be anything other than human-sized. It'd be awkward if she had to struggle to fit through the door. More heavy thumps followed, pounding on his nerves. Finally relief as the doorbell rang. Matt straightens himself up one last time before walking down the little hall and swinging open the front door to greet his date. What he saw nearly caused his jaw to hit the floor.
Emily stood in all her radiant beauty, easily blocking the road and sidewalks with her giant stature. The dragoness wouldn't be able to fit through Matt's door indeed as she was at least twice as tall as his whole house. Her piercing gaze down at her little human date was effortlessly intimidating. Her smile was kind and her features were intoxicating. She was covered from head to toe in a fine pattern of deep red scales, shimmering like rubies. There wasn't a blemish to be seen in them on her whole body. Her leathery wings a faded beige matching the underside of her clawed hands and feet. She stood on all fours like the European dragons he'd seen so often in movies.
"Hey." She said, her voice reverberating with power. He was awestruck at her sheer size and beauty, stammering out a timid hello in return. The dragoness leaned her head in close, her fiery gaze inspecting him thoroughly. She seemed pleased, humming with delight as she spoke to him. "You're Matt, right? You're precisely what I was looking for." She tried to be sweet, but her voice was so powerful it made his legs wobble. He swallows his fears and replies.
"Yes, and you must be Emily. Pleased to meet you. I was going to invite you inside, but I'm thinking that might not end well for my house."
"Aw, that's kind of you." She said, giggling a little at his gesture. "It's okay, little guy. How about I take you someplace nice instead?" She reached her large clawed hand towards him, each of the fearsome talons longer than his leg. With practiced care the thick digits wrapped around him and with a heavy beat of her wings she lifted herself off the ground. The whole experience felt like a dream. The firm grip of her claw, the air rushing by as she flew away with Matt in hand and the pang of fear that settled in once he realized he had no idea where she was going.
