Lexus moved his hand and laid down. “Oh, is that it? I’d rather not.” He turned around with his back to
me.
“What?” I sat up. “What do you mean you’d rather not?” We also hadn’t had sex for a week, so I
thought he’d jump at the chance.
Lexus shrugged. “I mean I don’t want to hurt you. We can go into the nearest magic shop and get a
potion that will lessen the pain for you. We’ll mate soon.”
I wasn’t in a rush, but I didn’t feel like I needed a potion. I wanted to get through the pain instead of
using something cheap like a potion to. “I’m not taking any potion Lexus. We don’t have to mate now
but when we do I want it to be natural.”
He didn’t respond so I got up and left. I walked into the front of the inn and sat down on one of the
couches. I looked at the piano then at my phone. I wanted to talk to Sadia about this but that was a
terrible idea, so I called Cade.
“It’s late Aqua,” Cade whispered.
“I know but I need advice. What do you do when you and Sadia don’t agree on something?” I asked.
“We have a conversation. Did Lexus do something to you?”
I chuckled. “No, it’s not like that. We just don’t agree on something. Whenever we don’t agree on
something he just gets quiet.” It didn’t happen often, but it was annoying when it would.
“That’s definitely how he deals with his problems, he ignores them- huh? No, I'm talking to Aqua, did I
wake you?” I think he was talking to Sadia. “Sorry Aqua, what you should do is leave him, then you can
join the pack and be closer, I’m joining soon.”
I sighed. “I need real advice Cade.”
Cade was still Lexus’ best friend if anyone knew what I should do he would. “Fine, you should say one
final thing, something really good then leave it alone for 24 hours. If he doesn’t change his mind he
won’t.”
I decided to take his advice. I went back into the room and he was up. He was sitting on the bed staring
out the window. “Lexus.” I closed the door behind me. “Before mating was out of the question because
Sadia and I was working for you. Things are different now and I don’t want to take the easy way out
anymore. I want to officially mate with you despite the pain, I want to feel everything.”
Lexus squinted his eyes. “I know what you’re doing.” He stood up. “It’s not going to work.” He walked to
the door. “I’ll be back.” He left the room.
I got in bed and soon I heard the piano, this was the second time he’s played it since we’ve been here
for a week.
The next day he didn’t give in. He wouldn’t even talk about it. It wasn’t 24 hours yet, so I was still
hoping it worked. He was aware of what I was doing but that didn’t mean it wouldn’t work. Cade was so
sure. I was sitting in the center of the town. I loved how everyone greeted me as they passed. ”Aqua!”
Bee yelled from a far and waved. She walked to me and sat down at the table I was at. “Where’s Prince
Lexus?”
“I’m not sure but he left about twenty minutes ago.” I looked around. “Everyone here is so kind and
everyone helps each other. I really love that.”
Bee smiled. “Our village is peaceful, and we all treat each other like family. I hope you and Lexus stay.”
I wanted to stay. “Everyone loves how much you’re helping, you’re a really good holder.” I used my
abilities to help with little things around the village when I could. I was able to warn them of threats to
the village as well. “They don’t just like the way you help us though. They like you.”
“I like everyone here too, I’ve never lived in a better place.”
Lexus came back with a bag. “Bee could you give us a minute?” Bee nodded and walked to another
group of people. He pulled out a tube of lotion. “I bought it from the village’s mage, all you have to do is
rub it on your shoulder and we’ll be good. I think it’ll taste weird but that’s worth it.” Cade told me to
leave it alone, so I didn’t say anything. I pulled out my phone and scrolled on social media instead.
“Fine ignore me but if you want to mate we’re using this.” He put it back in the bag.
At night I took a shower, and I heard a knock. “Unlock the door,” Lexus said.
“What? I’m taking a shower.”
“Aqua open the door, it’s about last night.”
I got out of the shower with it still running and wrapped a towel around me. I unlocked the door and
opened it. He was completely naked. I looked away. “I’m not using the enchanted lotion Lexus.”
“I don’t want you to.” He grabbed my head and kissed me. Cade was right, it was just barley within 24
hours. I let my towel dropped and we made our way to the bed. My whole body longed for him. He bit
down on my shoulder to the bone, and I bit down on his and it helped with the pain. My fangs grew a
little longer to be able to hit his bone. We scratched each other’s shoulder bone with him inside me.
Tears ran down my face from the pain I was in. I closed my eyes as tight as I could. I could feel the pain
in my toes. When we pulled our fangs out a mark appeared on each of our shoulders. We finished the
mating process by finishing having sex. I could hear his thoughts and he could here mine as we made
love… it only made it better.
In the morning we had woken up and were still cuddling. “You got advice from Cade didn’t you? He’s
the only one who does that stupid shit.”
I chuckled. “Yeah he did.”
“Did it hurt?”
I nodded against his chest. “I nearly passed out from the pain… but it felt so good.”
The next week was bliss. Being able to communicate with Lexus telepathically helped our flying
lessons a lot.
My phone rang while me and Lexus ere in bed together. We had just had sex. I reached over Lexus to
get it off the nightstand and answered it. “Dad?”
“Hey, I called to tell you two things. Me and your mother are together. Me, her, you, and Cade are going
to have dinner with your grandfather in a few days. He doesn’t approve of our decision to leave the
castle so expect that to come up.”
“Oh, okay, send me the information and I’ll see you guys there.” I hung up. “Wow, my parents are
together.”
“That’s what we expected right?” Lexus wasn’t surprised and I shouldn’t have been either because we
did expect it. It just felt weird especially because my father said it was too soon. I was happy for them,
my mom mainly because of everything my Dad put her through. I couldn’t wait to see them together at
dinner, but I was afraid to see my Grandfather. I didn’t want to feel his
disappointment.
