The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 89

Lexus chuckled. "Yeah I know. If you knew I might have been marked then why would you touch my shoulder and kiss me?" I didn't feel good after hearing that someone kissed him, but I didn't stop watching because I had faith in him.

She leaned over the staircase railing. "I kissed your cheek, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to mess with you. I think I can offer you a job since you are a childhood friend." She gave an expression of thinking. "You've been taught to rule since you were like twelve so I can offer you a job to be in charge of one of our branches." She walked down the hall. "It's a shame you're marked."

"Viv, I'm not here for you to realize your childhood crush. I'm here to find work. I care about my mate a lot and I want to be able to not just protect but support her too. I'm also not used to doing nothing." I knew everything was fine and that my family overreacted.

"I'll give you the job." She smirked. "If you show me a good time. There's a protection spell on the building, your mate won't know."

Lexus laughed. "You might not believe it but we're true mates. I'm qualified enough to get the job without sexual favors."

"True mates?? You're Kidding." She threw her hands up. "I might have a mage employed who's strong enough to prevent even a true mate from being able to know."

I opened my eyes. "He's in a manner with a childhood friend. He's just trying to start a career since he's not going to be king anymore."

Cade stood up. "What childhood friend?"

I put the gem back in my bag. "Tall, skinny, noble, long black hair-"

"Viv." Cade put together who she was fast. "You should be there. Viv's always had a thing for Lexus."

I shrugged. "I don't care, I trust Lexus. I'll feel it if he does anything."

"Aqua, you did feel it."

"Twice." Mom added. "Once directly on his mark."

"Trust me, people don't touch each other's shoulders. It's considered rude here because they could be marked. Accidents happen sometimes, people don't think and do it, but I was marked for over fifteen years. I'd never let a woman get close enough for anything else."

"I got a lot closer than that." Mom muttered and I could see it made Cade uncomfortable.

Dad sighed. "That's different."

Mom smiled. "Great." She walked down the stairs. "Can you fly us dear?"

I followed her out the house. "Yeah I can't fly far but I'm getting better, your coven is close?"

"Yeah it's in the next kingdom over, we're pretty close to the border already." I shifted and my mom climbed on. She climbed a lot faster than I could. "I can't get over how beautiful you are in your dragon form. You're beautiful in your human form too but you get what I mean."

'Were you watching me? Did you send Cade?' Lexus asked but I didn't answer because he didn't answer me earlier. 'Aqua, you said you would tell me when you were going to use your third eye to watch me. You don't trust me do you?'

I landed where my mom directed me. She climbed off and I shifted back. "I think Lexus is mad at me for spying on him. Now he blocked me from feeling his emotions too."

"What's the point of being marked if he's going to do that?" She led me to the coven's house. "I know you two are true mates but are you sure you didn't rush into mating?"

"I love him Mom. I know everything with us seems rushed but it's not. We're usually together so it's not like his thoughts and emotions are blocked often."

Mom stopped when we got to the house. "As long as you're happy and he's not cheating. You can't go in because their protection barrier keeps anyone out who isn't a part of the coven. I'll be back." I tried not to let everything others were saying worry me about my relationship. I needed to talk to Lexus and get this sorted out.
