The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair CHAPTER 44.0: Mark Me

CHAPTER 44.0: Mark MeAqua’s POV
We traveled for a week before we ended up in the village Lexus stayed at while he was away before.
We walked into the inn and Lexus walked to the front desk. “You’re back.” The man who might have
been the owner said. “We didn’t think we’d see you back. You won’t have to worry about journalists or
anyone bothering you while you’re here this time. Our village’s mage is back and will take care of
keeping them out.”
Lexus was handed the key. “That’s good to know but we won’t be here for long.” We were planning to
stay here longer than the other places but not too long.
The owner nodded. “Well, I hope you both enjoy your stay.”
I followed Lexus to the room. He unlocked the door and we walked in. “Was this the room you were
staying in?” I looked around, and it was small but nice.
Lexus put our bags in the small closet and took off his shirt. “Yeah, I didn’t think I’d be back.” He tossed
his shirt. “I think you’ll really like it here.”
I smiled. “You think so?” I was glad to be out of the castle for good. There were no signs that his
parents would try anything.
Lexus sat down on the bed and took his shoes off.. “You said being a part of a community would make
you the happiest. I don’t plan for us to stay but you’ll be able to feel a part of a community while we’re
here.” We haven’t stayed in one place longer than a day, so I was excited for this. “Sex?”
I blushed. “Wow, how romantic.” I said sarcastically.
Lexus chuckled. “That wasn’t an answer.” It felt like we were having sex every night since we left the
castle. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like it.I walked to him and sat on his lap. “Are you afraid?” Lexus didn’t strike me as the kind of person to be
afraid.
“I’m not sure what you mean.”
I laid my head on his shoulder. “About our future.”
Lexus started to undress me. “No. Eventually my parents will suspend my bank account and we won’t
have so much money but will figure it out. I’ve been getting as much cash off my card as I can. You
have money saved from working at the castle too. Plus, you’re basically a witch so magic helps with
survival a lot.” Most witches and mages didn’t have to work for a living the way people have to in the
human world.
“I’m barely a witch.” I kissed his neck. “The answer to your question is yes,” I whispered.
He stood up while holding me and laid me on my back. I couldn’t stop looking at his bulge before he
took his pants and boxers off. We did foreplay for a while until I felt him bite my shoulder. “Ow, ow,
stop.”
Lexus pulled away and looked down at me. His fangs had a little of my blood on them. “Sorry I can’t
help myself.” He got off me and laid on his back panting. “We can’t have sex for a while, I can’t hold
myself back from marking you anymore.”
I sat up and frowned. “Being marked is that painful?”
“More painful, my fangs have to scratch your bone. You’re half human so it’s probably worse for you.
I’ve seen humans with marks before, they go through with it, but I don’t know how badly it hurts them.
Plus, your sensory issues make it worse.” My ADHD made it hard not to overly focus on the pain. We
didn’t have sex that night but we did do other things to satisfy our lust.I woke up in the middle of the night and heard someone playing piano then fell back to sleep.
novelbinIn the morning we took separate showers then got dressed. We left our room so we could go get
breakfast. “You’re back.” I turned to see a young girl who walked down the hall. “I knew you were back,
you’re the only one who plays the piano like that.” She looked at me and gasped. “You’re the holder
aren’t you? They talk about you sometimes on my favorite talk show.”
Lexus sighed. “We have somewhere we need to go Bee.” He held my hand.
Bee followed us out of the inn. “You’re not going to introduce us?” She introduced herself to me
instead, “I’m Bee, the owner of the inn is my father.” She must have been the girl who gave Lexus a
scale. “I’m a hybrid.”
“I’m Aqua. Not a lot of people know but I’m a hybrid too, human.”
Bee smiled big. “Really? Don’t worry I can keep a secret.”
“It’s not a secret, not anymore.” I didn’t want it to be.
Bee seemed sweet to me, so I didn’t mind her tagging alone. “Where are you two going?”
“We’re getting breakfast, want to join us?” I asked but Lexus looked annoyed.
“Thanks for the offer but I already ate, we should talk later. It was good to see you two.” She walked
back into the inn.
Lexus led me to the village's diner, and we ordered some food. “I can start teaching you how to fly after
this.” He offered.
My eyes widened and I smiled. “Yes!” We were mainly getting around by him flying us. I was ready for a
change.Lexus watched me as I ate quicker. “Hey, slow down.” He laughed. “Trust me you don’t want a
stomachache when you fly.”
I chuckled. “I guess you’re right.” We continued eating and I got kind of flustered. Lexus had a way of
making me feel that way when he looked at me a certain way. He looked at me like there wasn’t
anything else to look at. Our bond was only getting stronger. I was ready for the next step.
When we were done eating we went into the forest. He explained to me the basics of how to take off
and flight control. We shifted and the first day was pretty hard to even get off the ground.
Over the next week I still couldn’t get it right, I kept crashing and it was hard to stay up or fly straight. I
shifted back into my human form midair and fell.
Lexus caught me on his back and landed. He shifted back and hugged me. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
Later that night I shook him awake. “Yeah? Are you okay?” He asked worriedly.
“No… well I am but I…” I swallowed.
He sat up and cupped the side of my face with his hand. “Are you sure? I need to know if anything is
wrong Aqua.”
I closed my eyes. “I’m ready for us to mate…” I was ready for us to mate no matter how badly the mate
mark would hurt in the moment.
