It was late in the evening Lucy was brought into Achaius' home. Lucy would have walked with Achaius to his house, but she didn't have any legs. In fact she didn't have anything below the neck. She was a decapitated head. 
She had a body originally. She was a regular customer of "The Chopping Block", a bar with strange reputation. The bar's in house entertainment was a stage with a guillotine and a wooden chopping block. About once a day, a patron or employee would decide to become a victim and have their head cut off in front of everyone. The walls had mounted trophies of these heads. Several of them were still alive, and loved watching these shows.
	But everyone involved returned in one way or another. Lucy was the only human that ever visited the bar. Last week she decided that she wanted to have her head cut off. She wanted to be a trophy head for everyone to admire. She chose the guillotine. It was so wonderful. She could still remember the sound of the blade rushing down and her head suddenly falling and tumbling into the basket. She enjoyed going over that memory over and over again. After having her head cut off, she asked to have her body cooked so everyone could eat it. Seeing her headless body as the centerpiece of that feast was so special. 
	After that, she was just a head. Instead of being hung on a plaque, she asked to have her head set on a platter on the bar. The bar's owner, a large dragoness named Riley, had taken her home each night for several days afterwards. But tonight, Achaius had volunteered to take her home. He was a dragon-snow leopard hybrid, and typically came into the bar with four legs. He loved talking to Lucy. Ever since she become a decoration on the bar, his new favorite spot was right next to her.
	Tonight the fluffy dragon only had two legs. But he walked with confidence and a skip in his step as he carried Lucy's head back with him to his house. Achaius had to hold her with just one hand to unlock his door. His hand was wet and pink. Lucy was a little embarrassed about that. She spoke up when they got inside.
"Sorry so much of my blood got on your hands."
	Achaius carried her head to the kitchen. "It's alright. I know you can't help it." He got out a plate and rested her exposed neck stump on it. The ceramic was smooth but cold. She shivered as the slight chill touched her nerves. "I'm sorry, that's cold. I'll get you something more comfortable soon." Achaius spoke with an earnest urgency. He really hated seeing her uncomfortable. He rushed to wash his hands, cleaning her pink blood off as best as he could.
	"It's alright. It will warm up soon. Take your time." More pink blood was slowly trickling out of her neck onto the plate.
	Achaius changed the water to warm, and chose some cherry scented soap for a second wash. He was trying to make his hands extra comfortable for her. "I think you've told me before, but are you alright after losing all of that blood? I've never seen another living head with a neck that still leaks like yours."
	Being alive after having her head cut off wasn't particularly unique in the Chopping Block. But Lucy's bleeding was a bit uncommon. "Yes, I'm alright. I'm immortal. I'm not sure why. All the blood I lose seems to return to me after a couple of days. And I have plenty to spare despite my size." She put on a happy smile for Achaius. She wanted to see him wag that big puffy tail of his. 
	But Achaius just nodded as he dried his hands. He still looked a little concerned, "That makes sense. You seem fine, but I'm going to make sure you feel even healthier than you were back when you had a body."
	Lucy didn't quite understand how he would do that, but she could hear how determined he was, so she was happy to play along. "I look forward to it!". 
	Lucy watched Achaius wander around his house. He was gathering supplies for her. He would occasionally use his hand to keep himself balanced as he walked around on two legs. He was almost always a taur, so walking on four legs was his default style. But he had worn his bipedal lower half in the bar a couple of days ago. Lucy had complimented the long fluffy tail it had. Achaius had stuck with this lower body ever since then. He wanted to look his best for her.
	Sitting in the bar as just a head was so boring when everyone was busy. You had to learn how to enjoy just watching things. And watching Achaius walk around was nice. He never wore clothes, and seeing his fluffy sack jiggle as he walked always put her in a good mood. 
	He set items next to her plate as he moved around. He had gathered towels, washcloths, a bowl, a straight razor, a small bag of candy, and a brush. Thinking about what he was going to do with all of this could be entertaining. But she decided to let it be a surprise. More of her pink blood was slowly trickling out onto the plate. This is why she sat on a platter in the bar. 

	In a couple of minutes Achaius seemed to had gathered everything he needed. He was standing by the table in front of her. Unfortunately, this table as just tall enough to hide his sheath from her view when he stood next to it. So Lucy wouldn't be able to admire it as Achaius was working with her.
	"I'm going to brush your hair a little first, I'll start treating your neck shortly after that. Does that sound good?" Achaius pulled out the brush.
	Lucy smiled and nodded with what neck she had left. "It does" she replied.
This brush was clearly meant for fur, but Achaius made it work very well for her hair. He would occasionally turn the plate slightly as he worked, making the whole world turn around for Lucy. She found herself giggling when this would happen.
	"So am I the only human you know?" Lucy asked.
	"I've met several others, but you're the only one I see and talk to on a regular basis. ^;=;^" He replied.
	"I know plenty of dragons in the bar. Sometimes I feel a little out of place among the dragons, birds, and bunnies that hang out there." She continued. She felt so free to talk about these things alone with him.
"I would be very sad if you weren't around the bar. You make it so much more special. <3" Achaius said, eager to cheer her up. But there was an earnest quality in his voice.
	"Thanks." there was a slight pause as Achaius straightened out her hair and started putting hair ties around the long straight bundle. "Do you think I'm cute or sexy though?" She had to muster up a bit of courage to ask that. She was already so vulnerable as just a head. But now she was letting down all of her emotional barriers as well. She knew Achaius was nice. He would probably at least sugar-coat the truth that she was pretty, but not in a way that interested him.
	"You have no idea. I think you're really sexy. I love your soft and smooth skin." He turned her plate to face him. Then he used his padded fingers to stroke her cheek.
	"You really do?" She was surprised, but this felt nice to hear.
"Mhm~ You make me think of a princess from a fairy tale. <3" He picked up her head and rested it on a folded towel. He moved her hair out of the way, and positioned her so she was comfortably looking up at the ceiling. The towel had been freshly dried making it extra warm and soft against the back of her head. She had been sitting on her neck stump for days, and this was a relaxing moment of relief from that. She could feel the air against her exposed neck stump. Achaius stared at that exposed meaty section and blushed a little. "And now that you're just a head, you're irresistible to me." She could hear his tail wagging, but again it was hidden from sight at this angle her head was sitting. She could feel a bit of moisture on the back of her neck as blood from her stump was dripping onto the towel.
	"Aw, that's sweet to hear. ^^" she responded. This romantic moment was interrupted slightly as Achaius held an arm above the bowl. He picked up the straight razor. "Hm? What are you doing?" she asked.
	"Trying to get some of my blood out for you." He held his elbow over the bowl and cut near the bottom of one of his biceps. There was no hesitation or wincing. Achaius never felt any pain from being cut. Lucy had picked up that this was part of his magic. But nobody ever talked about it in detail. He would commonly just pull his head off, and there would be a smooth fuzzy stump underneath. But sometimes in the bar, his head would come off, and she would see a meaty neckstump underneath. It never seemed consistent.
But as the dragon cut into his arm, a clear fluid trickled started dripping out of the cut. He seemed a little confused that he couldn't get more to come out. He used the straight razor to cut his arm off completely. The bone didn't even add much resistance. His severed arm was limp. He squeezed the end of it near the meaty stump. More clear fluid dribbled out into the bowl. The drips seemed to have an opalescent sheen to them. It looked more like he was squeezing juice out of a fruit than getting blood to flow out. He squeezed the bicep of his arm stump, and was pleased when he was able to squeeze fluid out of it like it was a soaked sponge. Lucy's head looked deeply fascinated as she watched all of this. Achaius stuck his severed arm back onto the stump. Within a couple of seconds, it healed back into place, and he was able to move his fingers again. 
	"Sorry, that took a little bit longer than I expected. ^^;" He set the plate aside. I have something more comfortable than that plate for you. He pulled out a small round platter made of gold and held in front of her to see. The outside had engravings of little tiaras. But the surface in the middle was polished and smooth like glass. "I tried some other platters myself to make sure they were comfortable. I found that patterns on the surface made my neckstump itchy sometimes".
	Lucy was stunned. "Is that gold? Where did you get that?"
I asked Riley to make it for you. She was nice enough to let me use some of her hoard to have this made. I wanted something extra comfortable for you.
	"Oh wow.. you didn't have to use gold for me though." Lucy responded she processed this.
	"I thought copper or brass would work well. But when I tried them, my nose was always filled with the weird odor of the metal. Riley made this with 18kt gold, which has no odor and won't tarnish." Achaius explained. He never seemed like the type that put a lot of thought or planning into anything. But he really wanted her to be comfortable.
	"That's so amazing.. Thank you so much. You're the sweetest dragon ever." She said. She might have been a princess to him, but she couldn't help but be grateful for this.
	"I try my best. But its really easy to be sweet for you." He replied. He set the gold platter down flat on the table now. Then he carefully poured some of his clear blood onto it. Next he picked her head up off the towel. The dragon hybrid's fingers felt like a hug around her scalp and her jaw as he held her firmly. 
Achaius gently lower her head onto the platter, letting her neckstump rest in it. The fluid looked clear and had an opalescent surface like oil. But when Lucy looked down into it, she could see that her and Achaius' reflections looked coated in silver, while the reflection of anything else looked the same.
It felt warm and comforting compared to the open air. But as her exposed flesh soaked in the dragon's blood, she could feel it tingling. It was a feeling somewhere between being tickled and lightly shocked. 
"Oh this feels nice~" she said, getting comfortable in this new platter.
	"Yay! ^;=;^" Achaius said with a big smile. "I don't know how long the treatment will take. But you should have something to drink."

	Lucy watched Achaius pull out a small pouch of water with a pull-top lid. Her mouth did feel a little dry. She opened her mouth slightly as he brought the spout to her lips. He squeezed the pouch gently. Cool water washed through her mouth and down her throat before trickling into the pan. A little bit dripped from her lips, but Achaius used a fresh cloth to wipe it off. "Oh that was really nice. Thank you <3" said Lucy. 
"I have something else for you." he said.
Lucy looked up at the dracopard curiously. "What else?"
	There was a rustle of plastic as Achaius reached into the bag of candy. He pulled out some pink and red hard candy. It smelled like artificial cherry and watermelon. "I know you don't eat, but you can let these just dissolve in your mouth. <3"
"Oh that's so nice!" She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. Achaius dropped the candy onto her tongue gently. She pulled candy in then started rolling it around in her mouth. She hadn't had anything this sweet for weeks even before her head had been cut off. Achaius seemed to really enjoy being her caretaker. He had even given blood for her. 
	That blood was starting to feel more tingly as she soaked in it. She closed her eyes, and simply enjoyed the hum of sensation in her neck stump. It slowly traveled up her neck, and through her head as it mixed with her own blood. 
The tingling mellowed out into a cozy relaxing feeling. It was so intoxicating. She closed her eyes and relaxed. She was almost falling into a trance from the dracopard's magical blood.

	She opened her eyes when she felt someone poking her nose. Achaius' face was right against hers. He leaned in and poked her nose with the tip of his dragon snout. "Boop. Hey there. Did you sleep well?"
"Sleep?" The human head said, looking a little surprised. "I fell asleep?"
	"You did. You were asleep for almost an hour. But I figured you could use the rest. And you looked so cute." Achaius said. His big fluffy tail was wagging behind him. She was finally getting a chance to look at it.
	"I do? Can you get me a mirror? I haven't seen myself in a while." She asked.
Achaius had a mirror ready. He brought it up onto the table, and set it upright. He then turned her platter, and the world rotated slightly around her so she was now facing her reflection. 
	She saw a human head with long blond hair resting in a small gold platter. It was still a surprise to see no body below her neck. She didn't have one anymore. It was easy to see how small and helpless she was in the reflection. Achaius scooted her platter closer to the mirror. "Have a closer look at yourself, princess. ^^" 
His cheerful smile was so contagious. She smiled back at her reflection. She had chosen to be like this, and she didn't regret it. Somehow this felt right. And she seemed to look even better than the last time someone showed her a mirror. She didn't have bags under her eyes anymore. Her skin was smooth with a wonderful shine. And her cheeks looked warm and full of color.
	"I think soaking your neck in my blood helped. You look healthier already." He said.
	It was true. She even felt better. She felt so awake and alive. "I think it helped too. I fell so much better. Thank you". She was so happy to wake up to all of this.
"Is there anything else you want?" The dragon hybrid asked. His fluffy tail kept wagging.
	Lucy was still marveling at her renewed health. She felt lively and excited. Excited as just one word for it. She did want something else. This cute dragon couldn't play coy forever. 
	"I want to see that dick of yours." She blushed a little, being so forward.

	Achaius looked surprised. But he was more than willing do what she said. "Alright then~" He picked her head out of the platter and set it down on a blanket near the edge of the table. She would have a good view from here. He took a couple of steps back and rubbed his sheath. He was already pretty excited. It only took a couple of seconds for that pink canine cock of his to push its way out of its sheath. Lucy's eyes sparkled a little bit seeing that shiny pink member swell up in front of her. She felt so good now. She wanted that cock so much. 
	"Pick me up and let me have a closer look", she asked, then added "please~" after a slight pause.
	Achaius snickered. "Anything you want, princess~" He stepped over to the table. He arched his heals so his cock would reach over the edge of the table. That shiny pink cock moved in closer until the warm tip poked her nose. "Boop~" said the dragon standing over her. Before she could open her mouth, his hands cupped either side of her jaw and picked her up off her blanket. 
	She huffed cutely as she was pulled away from her prize. The dragon lifted her to his face and kissed her cheek. "Hold on for just a moment. I need to check how that stump of yours is doing." Before she could protest, those strong hands of his turned her head over. The world suddenly turned upside down, and her blond hair fell upwards and swung around. 
	Achaius leaned in and looked at the exposed neck stump. Everything had been cut clean and smooth by the guillotine. Her exposed muscles had a healthy shine. Her trachea moved periodically as her head "breathed" just out of habit, even though she didn't have lungs. Her pink blood didn't seem to be leaking out anymore, 
but he had to make sure her tissues were still staying moist.
	Lucy was a little embarrassed being held and inspected like this. She could feel the warm breath of the dragon hybrid on her exposed neck stump. Ever since her head was cut off, that stump of hers had been very sensitive. The exposed meat of her neckstump was one big erogenous area now. 
	The pads of two fingers pressed against the outer edge of her neckstump, just where the skin met underlying tissue. Achaius gently slid his fingertips inwards. Lucy let out a soft gasp. She bit her tongue and tried to hide how good this felt. Achaius lifted his fingers and pressed them down on specific muscles on her exposed neck stump. Each of her neck muscles had a slightly different firmness. Every spot he touched tingled a little bit more than the last. His fingers drifted to the spot between her trachea and esophagus. This was making her so horny. She couldn't keep quiet much longer. 
	"Oh, this spot is a little dry." She heard Achaius' voice say. Then she felt his large dragon tongue abruptly press down and glide across those openings. As soon as his tongue passed over her trachea, air sucked in and she let out a moan of pleasure.
	Achaius paused and turned her head back over to face him. "Oh you like that?" he said with a grin.
	Lucy blushed and wiggled her neck back and forth as if to nod. "Yes, please keep going. >_<" 
	Without a word, Achaius turned her head upside down again. Everything spun around for a second, then that tongue was rubbing the sensitive meat on her neckstump. His tongue tingled the surface of her stump as he licked over and over again. She could feel the dragon was exploring, but also tasting her meat. She blushed more and moaned softly at that idea. His tongue grazed across the vertebrae along the back of her neck, completely brushed over her exposed spinal cord, and pressed down on it. A sudden jolt shot through her, like a moment of phantom pain from her entire missing body hit her for a split second. "Ow!"
Achaius suddenly pulled his tongue away, tipping her head upright one more time. "I'm sorry, are you alright?" He asked. He looked really concerned for her.
The pain was completely gone already, but the tingling from all that licking was mostly gone too. "I'm alright. I think my spinal cord is just way too sensitive. It's so much at once it hurts a little."
	
	Achaius listened and nodded. She was a helpless head in his hands right now. But he was so focused on caring for her. It was as if the rest of the world had disappeared. She continued "It's not so bad if something rests against it or .. passes over it. I think. Just don't put any uh.. targeted pressure in that spot." She struggled for the right words to describe how to treat a part of her body she couldn't even see. 
	
	Achaius nodded and hugged her head. His fluffy chest fur engulfed her almost completely. He was so warm and cozy. That would be nice for any other moment but now. She was still worked up from having her neck stump licked. She didn't actually want that to stop. But now might be a good time for a change of pace.
	"I'm still horny, dragon. Hold me close to your dick." She said, getting a little bolder with this.
	Achaius paused and tilted her head up to look at his face. "I can do that, do you want to be upside down again, or.."
	She let out a whine, "dick faster!"
He quickly lowered her head. It felt like she was dropping in an elevator for a moment, then everything stopped. That wonderful pink canine cock was in front of her. It certainly wasn't what she would expect to see on a dragon, but it looked really great on Achaius. She loved it. The shine, the smell, even the slight warmth coming off of it. It was just a few inches away from her face. But that was still way too far away. Achaius was keeping her at a distance from it. He must have thought she just wanted to look at it. "It's wonderful. <3 But please pull me closer."
	Achaius nodded and slowly brought her closer. She tried to lick it, but her tongue was too short. 
"Just press me against it! I need this!" She whined, clearly horny. 

	"Sorry, here you go~" Achaius shoved that warm cock against her face.
It felt wonderful. His cock was about as tall as her face. It was pleasantly moist and warm. His knot was pressing against her cheek. Instead of being hard like she expected, the knot squished against her cheek like a gel stress toy. He used the fingers of one hand to gently rub the underside of her neckstump again.
"This is wonderful. Don't stop please. <3" She was really enjoying this. His fingers were making her neckstump tingle like before as he kept rubbing. She gave the top of his knot a slow lick to thank him.
	
	He let out a cute moan. He had definitely been worked up by licking her neck stump earlier. He grinded his cock back and forth against her face. She giggled and licked whatever part of his shaft her tongue could reach. In turn, he stroked his thumb around the exposed muscles on each side of her neck stump. She could feel her pink blood stirring and making her stump nice and warm. "I might make a mess by the end of this, but lay down and lets go further with this~" she said.

	Achaius brought her over to the couch. He didn't seem to need any further prompting. As soon as he laid down, he pulled her head up to his face. He kissed her on the lips, then lifted her head above his upward facing snout. He started licking her sensitive neck stump some more. She hummed and just soaked in the pleasure of it all. Without a body and all the sensations that came with it, her sense of touch everywhere else was so much more clear. She could only feel his soft hands holding her head, and his tongue licking her neckstump. It felt so amazing.
He had even been kind enough to have her facing his erection. It was so far away now, but she had a feeling that would soon change. 
	After a minute of licking, the dragon hybrid paused and moved her head down towards his crotch. "mmm~ impale me with that thing <3" She exclaimed, seeing that pink cock coming towards her again. 

	Achaius smirked, and started rubbing his cock against her neck stump. He let out a deep rumbling sound. He wasn't very good at making dragon noises. But the kinky human head he was playing with seemed to love them. She opened her mouth, doing her best to help her esophagus open. The tip of his canine cock poked around the opening a few times before finding it. Her throat felt amazing around his shaft. He slid it in slowly, making sure Lucy didn’t get uncomfortable.

	Things seemed to speed up after this. Before Lucy knew it, Achaius's cock was sliding in and out of her throat. His cock had managed to stretch out her throat without any discomfort. It felt just as sensitive as the pussy she used to have. It was so nice being filled. His cocktip poked against the roof of her mouth. As he thrust harder, it started grinding against her pallet. 

	She swallowed, making her throat squeeze around that smooth canine shaft of his. He let out a soft rumbling moan. Pre spurted out into her throat, lubricating the way for most thrusting. He started bobbing her head up and down on his shaft in time with his thrusts. His squishy knot slapped against the sensitive neck meat around her throat. She was being used as this cute dragon's sex toy, and she couldn't be happier. The world was bobbing up and down as that cock pushed harder and hard into you. Then finally, that squishy knot popped all the way into her throat. The tip pushed along her pallet and just barely poked out of her mouth.
The hands holding her head loosened. Achaius' entire body was quivering under her as he hit climax. His member twitched inside of her, and fresh loads of seed started pumping out of that tip. Lucy crossed her eyes to watch the arcs of cum squirting out of her mouth. The pressure from his knot was enough to send her over the edge. The pleasure spiked and everything went numb for a moment. Then she was overcome with a warm relaxing feeling. She didn't mind that she was impaled on this cock. It was so comfortable. Everything was so comfortable.

	Achaius was panting to catch his breath. He smiled down at Lucy's head. But then he noticed the pink splattered all over his crotch and thighs. When she climaxed, she had bled all over him. He ran a finger along the underside of her neckstump. It was pink and moist, but she seemed fine, and it wasn't dripping anymore. Maybe this is what she meant when she said she was going to make a mess. Afterglow was clouding Achaius' mind. It didn't matter. He could clean up later. Lucy's head needed some more pampering. He curled his long fluffy around around her head, enveloping her the warm cozy fur. She looked so happy and comfortable. It was time for both of them to sleep now. Taking care of her head was so fun.
