The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 8

Shopping with the Enemy

I had to gasp for air after making out with Lexus for so long. I'd never forget the taste of his tongue and the way his grip on my waist felt. I've been kissed before but not like this. He didn't let me catch my breath for long. He was aggressively pulling me closer against him. I dug my nails into the side of his arms and closed my eyes tightly while my tongue danced with his. His hands tugged on my clothes. I had to take back the control and once he realized I was trying to push him away he stopped.

He stared down at me while I wiped my mouth. "What?" I asked. I stared at his engagement ring and my chest got heavier. All I could do was be mad at myself.

Lexus looked at his ring when he noticed I was. "It's not your job to worry about it."

"Did you tell that to the last girl?" My eyes were watering up which made me even more mad at myself.

Lexus sighed of annoyance. "No, I told her I'd kill her if anyone found out." He rubbed the back of his head. "It was a different situation that I regret Aqua. Are you guessing or did someone tell you?"

Maybe I shouldn't be repeating what Arma, Stewart or Cade tell me. I don't want to get anyone in any trouble. "I..."

"It wasn't Cade right?" Lexus changed his question.

I shook my head. "No, no." It wasn't a lie since Arma implied it and not Cade. Cade was the one convinced Arma was wrong. "It was mostly a guess; they didn't say anything with detail. You're not going to follow through with your threat, are you?"

"Not unless I had to," his answer scared me. "Everything is fine now because no one knows enough of anything. Everyone just thinks it's rumors." He walked to the door. "Try not to say anything about what just happened okay?"

"Only if it doesn't happen again." I couldn't keep this going.

He chuckled. "How about this? I'll let you make the next first move." He was so sure I'd crack.

"Fine but only because I won't make a move." I nearly stuttered. He walked out of my room and I laid back on my bed panting. "Fuck."

I didn't know werewolves were real, but I wasn't going to make that obvious. "They're known as a myth. Some people claim to have seen sightings, but no one takes them seriously. Are there werewolves in this kingdom?"

Sadia laughed. "Yeah, every kingdom has a few packs here and there. They can be troublesome because werewolves are so territorial. They want to be the dominant species in every kingdom, but they move in packs. One pack can't take over a kingdom of dragon shifters, demons or even elves. Well, they don't want to take over a kingdom because they refuse to be one. They just want power over others in their area. They're usually found in forests and towns close to forests."

We walked out of the castle and she shifted into her dragon form. I tried my best to climb on with no trouble. I don't know why but I wanted to impress her. Unfortunately, it took me a little while to get on. She flew us into the city and landed outside of several shops. She shifted back to her human form when I finished climbing off. "Sorry, maybe I should have gotten someone to help you up and down."

I felt like a child because I'm sure no adult shifter would have a problem climbing up and down. "It's fine, I just need practice." I looked down at her hand where her wedding ring was.

She walked into one of the stores and I followed. "Tell me about yourself." She said as she walked over to some of the hung clothes.

"I'm nineteen and I was raised by humans," I started.
