The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

I frowned. “You can always drink water; I want to enjoy the festival. Would it be weird if we just stayed together?”

Lexus looked around. “It’s not like we planned this, if anyone asks, we’ll just tell them what happened. They’ll assume I’m just being nice since you have no other choices.” I was more excited to be with Lexus at the festival than Calvin.

“Oh, how selfless of you,” I said sarcastically. We started walking. “Do you really see me as your friend?”

“Yeah, I do,” Lexus answered while looking over the crowd. Knowing that he saw me as a friend made me feel like we really were getting close. “That’s the main reason I asked Cade to help us earlier. We didn’t need the extra help. I thought you could spend a little time with your brother.”

I blushed. “That was nice of you.” I stared at his hand but knew I couldn’t hold it. I saw Arma with her family and she looked like she was forcing herself to look happy.

We went to sit down to watch a dancing performance. Since I was with the prince security made sure we got seats up front. It was traditional and tasteful. “Why didn’t you go with Calvin and Sadia?” I whispered halfway through the performance.

“It’s not like they needed me. I doubt Ruben wants to see me helping his pack, it’ll just make him resent me more,” He explained. “I also wasn’t sure if you’d be okay being left alone like that.”

I thought it was sweet until I saw him staring at a girl five minutes later. “What’re you doing that for?”

Lexus looked at me and chuckled. “You’re jealous? It’s cute but you don’t really get to be jealous.”
