Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

**Clint**

I had a pleasant time with Avery this evening. She can be funny when she chooses to be. She was dead on that I would

like that iced coffee too. None of the other girls have ever guessed what I like or even asked for that matter. They just let

me decide everything. Taking this chance with Avery was worth it. I didn’t get around to asking if she had had a male

friend before because I didn’t want to put a damper on our conversation if she hadn’t.

Once we arrived home, my brothers’ glares put me on edge. “How was your date?” Cassius spat as if he was forcing

something that tasted foul from his mouth.

“It wasn’t a date. We went to a cafe in the human world as friends.”

Cassius stands, his eyes taking on Asher’s red hue, and approaches us, “You and I both know that you don’t do friends.”

To my surprise, Avery steps between us. “We went and had coffee and a snack at Hidden Spice. We talked and he let me

listen to music. Nothing happened, not that it would have anyway.”

I see Cassius let out a breath. “Avery, after what happened on Friday we need to know where you are. What if you would

have been spotted together?”

Avery curls up her nose in disgust. She fixes her gaze on him. “Asher, you are a controlling prick. I hate dragons and you most of all. The others don’t let theirs out as much. If you want to have control so much, then control the Hoity Hags, not me,” she said before she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Cassius and Asher both laugh, “What did you give her to drink on your nondate?”

I shrugged, “She ordered for me too. I think what the girls did to her awakened something inside of her or maybe it was

always there and just needed that push. Anyway, she is funny and I am glad that we are friends.”
