The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

We walked Lexus the rest of the way to his next class and Cade walked me to mine. I had to do a lot of meditating in the class that trained my abilities. My teacher was the castle’s Oracle. He knew a lot from experience and some of our abilities were similar.

After I walked with Lexus to his last class. I had met up with Konn for my last class. “I heard you overslept.” Konn said.

I chuckled nervously. “Yeah, the festival made me exhausted. It won’t happen again, I promise.”

That was the only question he gave me about this morning. I wanted him to know I took this job seriously, so I needed to make sure this didn’t happen again. It could have easily been Konn finding out instead of Cade. He started our lesson and he spoke a lot more than yesterday.

I thought a lot about last night because I hadn’t exactly processed the fact that me and Lexus had sex for the first time. So much happened earlier this morning that I didn’t get to really think about it. My first time was with someone I cared a lot about and who cares about me. It was the craziest thing I ever experienced. That part I liked but I just wished he weren’t with Sadia. That would have made it even more special. When I walked Lexus to his last class earlier it was the only time today, we were alone but we didn’t speak, I think he was thinking a lot about the fact that Cade knew now.

After two hours he turned to me and said, “We’re done for now, do you have plans for the rest of the day?”

“I don’t think so, Lexus will text me if he needs me.” I was getting my hopes up for what Konn said next.

“If you want, I could introduce you to Gray,” He finally offered. “He’s in the garden with Lynn right now.”

I walked beside him. “Yeah, okay.” This was exactly what I wanted. We took the elevator down then walked out the castle to the garden in the back.

I watched Cade walk to Gray and Lynn. He knelled in front of him and started talking. I couldn't hear because he was whispering at a distance.
