((Oh! Umm I'm not sure, how did you guys imagine it? I sort of guessed that it could happen during normal mating, but the possibility would skyrocket during heat because that's when their bodies are most ready/accepting? Still hit or miss, but just waaay more probable during heat?))

"Don't jinx it!" Ceral exclaimed teasingly, only hoping a tiny bit now that maybe he was just spitting up thoughts and he wasn't actually in heat. His heats tended to be more of an annoyance than anything. Some dragons had told him it felt like cramps, or someone was just ramming into them, but Ceral's was the simple kind that kept him up at night and kept him from hunting for food (thus why he had to stock before he thought he'd go into heat). His was the kind that had him rolling all day because he didn't have a mate and no one to help him. It was different knowing that you weren't alone anymore.

He didn't want to go through that. His heat averaged a good week, sometimes a few days more. They really screwed him over with this. He didn't know how to have sex, but he thought... that he was more willing to learn it now than endure a full week of this. And besides, it wasn't as if it was totally for sure he'd get pregnant, right? Like, there was an itty chance if he mated with Ivy it might just not happen. They were already here, tangled together. It only sounded right to try. Ceral swallowed thickly and looked back towards the walls. "Are they gonna be watchin'?" he asked quietly, looking over Ivy's comment about them possibly stopping, because if he thought about it now he might just well fuck himself over and have to go through a week of heat instead of calming the feeling in his abdomen now. "I don't want them watchin' us."
