him. She yanked him back against the wall, with her plastered against him.
“Oh my God, what were you thinking? You could have been killed!”
“I didn’t expect you to shove me off the cliff…” he teased. Wrong thing to say. Aislinn’s eyes narrowed and her shoulders squared.
“Why did Jex leave?” she asked quickly.
“He will be back, don’t worry,” he said slowly.
“You pissed him off, didn’t you?” she said.
“Why would you think that?” Drakk frowned.
“Maybe if you wouldn’t have opened your big fat mouth, Jex wouldn’t have flown off. Now he is facing the possibility of getting hurt, or worse, being captured! Then fate wouldn’t have stepped in and tried to off you over the cliff!” Aislinn yelled, poking one finger in the middle of his chest.
“And that bothers you?” He looked down to where she was poking him in the chest and tried to keep the smirk off his face. He didn't think it wise to comment that her small finger had no chance of even leaving a mark on his hardened chest. However, he was enjoying the fire in eyes as she scolded him. He cocked an eyebrow, fishing for her to admit she had feelings for him. He could almost see the gears in her mind turning to how she was going to word her reply. It was in that moment when he knew this small woman would be his and yes, Jex's. He could continue to fight against all he wanted, but in the end, he would lose the battle to keep his heart incased, she would chip at the casing until she herself was firmly planted there. Her voice brought him out of his musing.
“Of course I care! I care that he is out there alone, unguarded, because of you ! I care that you almost did a swan dive off the mountain. I care that someone is out there trying to hunt all of my friends down and cut them up into little pieces! You need to be out there finding him instead of just sitting on your ass! He’s in danger, you big oaf!”
“So, you are saying you do care about me then…” The corner of Drakk’s mouth curved up in a cocky lopsided grin. How she had taken him from one extreme to another, he had no idea. He had been hell bent against this all, but she changed everything. He didn’t understand it, and didn’t want to as long as it included her. Just the sparkle in her eyes had him going from wanting to remain alone to wanting her more than anything. She was a witch, and whether she knew it or not, had cast a spell over his heart.
“You egotistical, self-centered, selfish sonofab—” Drakk leaned in and kissed her, muting her tirade. She could only resist him for a brief moment before relaxing under his touch, melting into him. The deeper he took her, the more she forgot any emotion besides the feelings he created. When he finally released her, she hugged him tight, resting her head against his chest. He smiled inwardly, wrapping his arms around her. That’s one way to shut her up . He couldn’t deny his feelings now. This tiny little female would be his undoing.

Drakk had convinced Aislinn to stay behind while he went to search for his dipshit brother. She was dead-set on going, but when he mentioned there might be a bit of a small aerial battle, she realized that it might be good for them to work out their differences without her in the way. Men. Ignorance and egos evidently passed through all of the species and wasn’t singled to just human males.
Jex was more unpredictable than the weather, but when he needed a place to escape, there was only one place he would go. High up in the mountains, there were natural hot springs. They were said to hold some sort of magical aspects that helped rejuvenate and recharge the body. Whether all that was true or not, Jex had always been infatuated with the place and would frequently soak in the hot water when things got sticky in life. Drakk couldn’t figure out how the sulfur smell didn’t make him gag. He would return smelling like rotten eggs, but always had whatever weighed on his mind
