figured out.
Drakk flew overhead, searching each of the pools. Jex was nowhere in sight. Then it dawned on him—invisibility cloak. He opened up his vision, allowing magic to be seen, and spotted him immediately. In one of the larger pools sat Jex, his head between his hands. Drakk flew down and fell the last few feet into the water, creating a huge splash and tidal wave.
“What the hell!” Jex growled. Drakk just laughed, making himself visible.
“How’d you know where I was?”
“Because this is the place you go to pout.”
“I’m not pouting, dickhead.” Jex splashed water at him.
“Then what do you call it? If you are trying to get Aislinn on my ass, job done. Now, get your scaly ass up and let’s go. She’ll be out looking for you if I don’t get you back.” Drakk realized he truly didn’t want her angry. After the kiss they had just shared, he would move Heaven and Earth to taste those sweet lips.
“No.” Jex held his breath and ducked under the water.
Drakk sighed. “Spoiled brat,” he muttered and reached under the water, pulling Jex up by a horn.
“Leave me the hell alone. I came here to get away from you, not sit in a dirty puddle of your ball juice.” Jex knew he was acting like a child, but he was confused, pissed, and hurt all at once. Feelings weren’t something dragons had often, and to have such a mix of emotion was too much to bear. They were predators, not fairies for shit’s sake.
Drakk didn’t want to force him, but he left little options. He turned on the alpha, allowing his position to flow off him in waves. “Get home now!” he roared. Instead of Jex backing down and cowering like before, he bowed his shoulders and held his ground.
“That shit doesn’t work on me now. We’re mates, you asshole. The days of you pulling the alpha card are over. I do what I want, when I want.” Jex let his ego unleash.
“Do what you want. Don't you always? I have to go alpha on you to keep you under control, Jex. Now that isn't going to work and it is up to you to grow up and start acting like an adult dragon, not a fledgling just out of the egg. Look what is in front of you, a chance for a mate, a chance that some would give a wing for—and you want to act childish. You are the youngest and found your mate. Do you not think the others have ever wondered when it would be their turn or even if they would live long enough to find their mate? I have never had any problem finding women to bed and neither have you. But out of all the bed partners there has never been one I would have consider a pleasure to wake up to every morning, until maybe now. So go right ahead and act like the fledgling you are. I’d rather have Aislinn to myself anyway.” Drakk was pissed it hadn’t worked, and was done with trying to make Jex grow up. If he wanted to miss out on Aislinn, so be it. It had been hard to accept that they were meant to share her, and he damn sure wasn’t going to beg Jex to do so. He got out and shook off, spreading his wings to the sky once more. Before he reached the cover of the clouds, he heard Jex behind him and smiled inwardly. Stubborn ass.
They arrived home to find Aislinn sitting between Peyon and Brak, pouring over the journals and grimoires. Peyon had one hand behind her on the back of her chair, leaning over to read what she held. Brak had his hand across her wrist while she held the book open. Drakk flipped. They were too damn close to her. Jealousy wasn’t an emotion he had experienced often, and he damn sure didn’t like it. “What the hell is going on here?” The words slipped out before he realized how bad they sounded.
Jex had entered behind him and had the same reaction. Thankfully Drakk had said them and not him, because Aislinn blew up. “Excuse me? While you two were out throwing a tantrum, we have been working.”
“Is that what you call it?” Drakk’s words were followed by a puff of smoke from his nostrils as he blew out a breath then turned
