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."
