Chapter 61: Failed Mating Attempt

Once Zik hit the ground running, he was out of their sight in two minutes. He disappeared into the grasslands, and looked like he had a destination in mind.

To their surprise, he wasn’t heading towards the Giant’s Ditch, but north-east of it. He was trying to avoid the ditch completely, and ran fast as if he didn’t care what predator he might run into.

Even Cika, the woman who loved him to some degree, didn’t know where Zik was going. She had some predictions, but didn’t know for sure.

“What type of magic does he have?” Jimmy asked, as he watched Zik go. “Can his magic protect him from his hard head?”

“He has Dinosaur Strength,” Cika answered. “I’ve seen him spear dinosaurs from far away. As far away as that tree over there.”

Cika pointed at a tree that was two-hundred meters away, or over six-hundred and fifty feet. She either exaggerated Zik’s strength, or she was being serious. Either way, Jimmy was a little bit less worried about him now. Zik knew what he was doing.

Rulya, the twenty-one year old blonde woman, was hardly concerned about what was going on. She was on the back, holding on to one of the ladies, and then she got an idea.

Slowly and carefully, she crawled past the ladies in front of her. There was certainly enough space for her to move around, she just had to be careful not to fall off of Gutaxun.

Rulya got close to Jimmy, and asked, “Do you mind if I ride up front with you? I’m short, so I can’t see anything from back there. It’s getting really boring.”

Clueless and innocent, Jimmy said, “Sure. Make yourself comfortable.”

“Thanks,” She smiled.

Afterwards, she sat right in front of Jimmy, and scooched backwards, pushing her bottom against his crotch. Granted, she didn’t have much of an ass to press him with, on account of how petite she was, but she did so anyway.

“Wow,” She said, pretending to be amazed, “The land looks so much prettier here at the front. No wonder you ride at the front.”

“Well, I have to steer Gutty.” He answered, and started thinking of theories regarding what was going on here.

Jimmy tried to scooch back, but he couldn’t do so. Nechi was behind him, so if he backed away any further, he’d end up sitting on her lap.

An old saying popped up in his head. He was truly stuck between a rock, and a hard place, and he didn’t know what to do about it.

Jimmy even kept his hands away from Rulya’s bare thighs as he steered Gutaxun, but that was the only preventive measure he could take. He didn’t know for sure if Ruyla was trying to seduce him, and gave her the benefit of the doubt. He thought that she had gotten really comfortable around him, on account that he and his friends saved her life.

However, the way she pressed against him slowly became a problem. Every time Gutaxun took a step, the ground shook, and so he ended up rubbing his crotch against her cheeks more and more after every other ground-shaking step.

This in turn, forced him to develop a hard boner, even though he tried everything to avoid it. He could hardly keep it in his fur covering.

Noticing this, Rulya then leaned backwards, and pressed her face cheek against his. The musky smell that Gutaxun released below her was driving her insane, so she had no shame. Not even an ounce.

“Grab me,” She whispered, while they were cheek to cheek.

“I’m gonna have to pass,” He answered, and pushed her a few inches forward, away from his crotch. “Enjoy the view.”

This was an awkward situation, but the ladies were quiet. They all knew what she had been doing, even Nechi, since she had her breasts pressed on Jimmy’s back, and so she had been close enough to listen to Rulya’s little whispers, but she did not say a thing.

Nechi had observed how Jimmy reacted, essentially putting his loyalty to the test. She was satisfied with the results.

As for Rulya, she stared into the distance, pouting. Her mating attempt has failed. Now, she was angry, and horny, but didn’t know what to do about it.

Anyway, they got close to the Giant’s Ditch in no time. Dusk was only an hour away now, the lands were getting dark, so Jimmy had little time to tame four more dinosaurs for the rest of the group to ride, and have them initiate the rest of his plan.

This was going to be a long night, and he didn’t want to separate from the rest of them unless he was sure that they were going to be safe. Relatively safe.

Once they were about two minutes away from the ditch, they saw a familiar dinosaur beaming down from the sky. Anna landed close by with her pet Quetzalcoatlus Northropi, or QT for short, and then she stood on top of its back, with one hand holding on to her pet’s neck to keep her balance, and she refused to climb down for some reason.

Instead, she shouted, “Follow me!”

Afterwards, her pet started running north at speeds that the group could not comprehend. Not only was the QT fast when she was up in the sky, but she was fast on the ground as well! It used its wings as a second pair of legs, and sprinted much like a modern mammal.

Aside from its back being narrow, and rigid when she was on the ground, the QT ran much like a very angry giraffe. Her sprinting speed was explosive, but she slowed mid-sprint, and kept an idle speed of 22 mp/h, or 35 km/h! She tried to preserve her energy this way.

The QT was a massive creature, so of course, she was fast under any circumstances. The fact that she only weighed two-hundred and fifty kilograms, or five-hundred and fifty pounds, certainly aided its speed.

Once he saw the QT dash, Gutaxun picked up his speed, and tried to keep up, but he ended up lagging behind. He had been running all day, so he was a bit tired. Not to mention, there were five people on his back. He did his best under the conditions he was given.

Anna led them further east for ten solid minutes. They were a comfortable distance away from the Giant’s Ditch now, so Jimmy wasn’t as worried about wasting time anymore, because there weren’t any potential giants lurking, and watching over his shoulder. He trusted Anna’s judgement, and had followed her for ten minutes without asking any questions.

After that time stamp, the QT stopped running, and lowered her body to help Anna climb down. Gutaxun caught up with them eventually.

Irritated, Gutaxun then stomped on a couple of Compies that were close by, as they had tried to bite his legs as soon as he stopped running. He personally hated these tiny scavengers, and had feuded with them for years.

Gutaxun then lowered his head, letting the people that were on his back climb down. Once they were on the ground, he then turned to the Compy carcasses, and started eating them. He wasn’t hungry, just spiteful.

“Are those the fast dinos?” Jimmy asked, after he approached Anna. “Are they jumpy? I don’t want to be rammed by them.”

“They’re carnivores,” She said. “So yeah, they’re jumpy, and quite bitey too.”

“Really?” He scratched his head. “I kept telling our friends that I’d get them on top of a herbivore today. I guess predators will be a better fit for them?”

“Come on,” She grabbed his wrist, and dragged him towards her pet. “It would be stupid to let you approach seven scavengers by yourself. They’d tear you apart in seconds.”
