The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 92

"No one likes you Lexus." His words almost felt oddly comforting. "Even my Dad doesn't trust you all that much and he cheated too."

"He doesn't trust me but Konn loves me like a son." I watched Mae hug Aqua then walk off. I noticed Konn in his dragon form. He landed and Mae climbed up him and he took off. "I miss giving Aqua rides, she loves flying herself around if it's not too far."

Aqua walked to us. "Aren't they so cute? He always picks her up like that when he doesn't have Gray."

"Can't she teleport?" Cade asks.

Aqua chuckled nervously. "Well, it takes a lot of energy out of her... she made a joke that he-"

"Ew Aqua I don't want to hear that." Cade interrupted.

I laughed. "I'd want you to have your energy too." I joked. Cade glared at me and Aqua blushed.

"I signed up for some jobs so when I get them done I can get more if I want," Aqua changed the subject.

"Hey Aqua!" A guy who walked out of the house shouted to her. "If you need any help with the jobs you can call me okay?"

Aqua waved. "Okay bye Ray, thanks!"

"Ooh I like him better than your current boyfriend already." Cade joked.

"Current and permanent mate." I corrected. "I don't trust that guy."

Aqua rolled her eyes. "Like you didn't trust Calvin?"

"And I was right, he went on with the plan without you and you would have taken the blame." He also still looked at her like he wanted her, even after he found out we were mates.

She started walking. "No, he didn't, he looked at me like a friend would."

"Great, read my mind why don't you," I joked.

Aqua chuckled. "And you're feeling jealous." Cade stuck around for a few more hours with us. It was nice to spend so much time with him. I never wanted to think of him as my old friend because in my eyes we'd always be best friends, brothers even.

Aqua's POV

I turned the shower on. "Yeah but do you really want to know about that?"

"Sort of." He started taking his clothes off.

"I'm taking a shower first."

Lexus laughed. "We've been together for a little while now." He got into the shower. I didn't feel as flustered as I thought. I took a breath then got into the shower. I was fine sleeping naked and for him to see me naked for a little while, even while I walked around the room. This was different, he was just staring at me and we were so close and exposed. I turned around so he was behind me. He leaned down and whispered, "Tell me about our kids."

I closed my eyes and let the water hit me. "Well first we have a daughter, she's cute and full of energy. Then we have a boy, he's reckless and loves messing around with magic."

Lexus started to wash my body. "Am I a good father?"

My back was against him now and he washed the front of my body. "I think so, I only see so much but we seem like a close family."

When we got out of the shower Lexus left to work and so did I. I was used to doing jobs like these now. I walked to the address and knocked on the door. I was surprised to see Vella answer. "Aqua, you're here early." She looked a lot better than the last time I saw her. "I was the one who put out the listing for a job to your coven. I knew they'd send you. I really do need your help. Come in."

I followed her in. "When did you move?"

"Last month, I got kicked out because I didn't have any money since I was fired. Towns are cheaper to live in and I was able to get a job as a gardener here. I thought it was better for me to move to a new kingdom entirely because I still thought Lexus was going to eventually be king." We were in the southern dragon kingdom. It's a bit far so I had to portal here with a splicer my mother helped me enchant. "I didn't want to live under his rule and now I don't feel like moving back." They officially announced Hannah would be taking over two weeks ago.
