Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings Chapter 25: All Jokes Aside Avery When I walked into Miss Alman's class, Conner was waiting onwith a smile. Once I took my seat, he leaned over and whispered, "I guessed that you liked lilies." I giggled, but I put my hand over my mouth to stifle it because I didnt want to draw attention to myself or to Conner. "You did fine. They are one of my favorites. Thank you." As his hand briefly touched mine, I looked at him. "Even if you never tellwhat all happened Friday night, I know who all is to blame. If my brothers choose to do nothing, I will. 1, like Mr. Darcy, Rave been too prideful to see what has been in front offor years. You are a special girl even if you want to killin our play." My cheeks reddened in embarrassment and I chewed on my lip. Ite lighs, "I read your whole outline. I severely underestimated your creativity." "Wait until you see Clint in my apron baking us cookies." We laughed as we pretended to rehearse. Conner leaned down. "So you are using our classes to get revenge. Fucking brilliant, but so very sneaky." I shrugged. "We all need to graduate and fate made us partners. I would be an idiot if I didn't use that to my advantage." He nodded and we joked around as we worked on our script. The bell signaling the end of class ctoo soon. I waved goodbye to -Conner before making my way to Mrs. Moore's class. Today we are supposed to plan a mock date. I am looking forward to it.

However, I wasn't looking forward to what I saw outside of the classroom. Lenore had Clint pressed against the wall and was kissing him. How can he let her do that after she tried to kill me? Rage bubbled inside of me. As I passed them, I said, "Clint, be sure to remind her that she owes you a spirit shirt." I left them with their jaws on the floor in my wake.

Clint takes his seat at our station. "Avery, why did you say that? Now she knows that you remember." I shrug because I really don't know why I said it. I guess I was pushed too far and instead of breaking, I am springing back to get my revenge. "I just want to be left alone. Since they won't, I will find a way to make them." Clint Avery is becoming reckless. She needs to trust us to handle this but know how ridiculous that sounds after how badly we have treated her for the past five years. My brothers and I helped cause this and now we need to fix it. I can not believe that I am thinking this, but in the two years my parents have been gone we have let pussy cloud our minds and hinder our judgment. We have becyour stereotypical playboy princes. Since one of us is the future king and will be representing our tribe at annual meetings among other tribes, we need to start acting like it.

"Avery, just wait until after the Grand Ceremony. After that, my brothers and I will be recognized as kings until one of us finds our mate. Then he will be king, and based on tradition it is usually the eldest that does. Cassius will be king and he will punish them." She sighs as she hangs her head, “But not nearly enough. It won't be an eye for an eye because he has known them longer and they are dragons. I am just your pathetic human assistant." "Avery, you were there for us when our parents died. Lenore and the other girls just fucked us so that we could forget." She glares at me. I ran my hand over my face not knowing how to respond because that obviously was not what I should have said to her. Luckily, I was saved by Mrs. Moore as she asked us to show her what our date would look like. I hadn't written a thing, but Avery did. Mrs. Moore smiled at the simple start of the date which was a walk in the park followed by a trip to the cafe for tea.

1/2 Chapter 25: All Jokes Aside There was no mention of an elaborate dinner or shopping, just quality tand conversation.

Is this what a first date is supposed to be like? Mine were always dinner and possibly a movie or shopping before we would find a place to fuck or she would givea blowjob. "I have tried to tell you that how you treat gifls isn't how a mate is to be treated," you would have a Carter bluntly says in my mind. Yes, he has a point but I don't want mate. Carter huffs, "If you were human then choice. You are a dragon and we dragons are guided by fate. One day we will find her and when we do you won't hesitate." !

I look over at Avery who is engrossed in planning a date that will never be.

But I could take her on a friendly date to go to that cafe. Friends sit and anch drink tea together and chat, don't they? I honestly don't know because | have never had a female friend or a friend who wasn't my brothers. In the dragon world, very few seek to truly now you because they only seek to increase their status. Avery has never cared about that. Instead, she focuses on her duties and helping to provide for her adoptive parents. "Avery, I want to take you somewhere after school. Will you come?" She raises her head up with shock and a tad bit of distrust in her eyes. "Where?" "You love tea. I thought that I could take you to a cafe in the human world, that is if you will let me.”

"Why?" I expected her to ask that, but it did hurta little. My brothers and I are serious about trying to have a fresh start with her.

I sigh, "It is not a date and I expect nothing. I merely liked the idea and thought that we could go as friends." Her expression softened as she looked into my eyes, "As friends?"

I smiled and nodded, "Yes, as friends." It felt amazing to say that.

Avery will be my first female friend. I wonder if I will be her first mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
