Hidden Flame: Bound to the Triplet Dragon Kings

As I am walking with Cassius to the huge banquet hall in the palace where the ceremonial dinner will be held, a concern

comes to my mind. I stopped and turned to look into his eyes. “Will being marked hurt?”

He gently cups my face in his right hand, “A temporary mark carries with it a fleeting pain, but a permanent one only

brings ecstasy.” Captivated by his tenderness, I rose to my tip-toes and gave him a kiss. He smiled into it as his freehand

pulled me closer. Breathlessly, we pulled away. Looking deeply into my eyes he said, “Avery, I regret any pain I caused you

or any that you had to endure because of me and my brothers. I vow to you now to never cause you an ounce of pain.” A

tear left my eye because of the feelings that bubbled to the surface. He smiled as he kissed the tear away. “I love you,

Avery and I intend to show you that every day from now on.”

“You love me?”

He chuckled as he picked me up and spun me around. “Yes, yes I do.” Filled with emotions that I had never felt before, I

took his smiling face in my hands and kissed him. As the passion between us built, so did the tension. Struggling to maintain control, he pushed my back against the wall. His hands roamed my frame as his lips devoured mine. Groaning,

he pulled back, “We need to stop, but can continue this later if you like.”

I grinned as my cheeks reddened. I bit my lip and nodded. “Yeah, I might.”

He slid me down and offered me his arm. “This goes at your pace, so if you change your mind it will be okay.”

We walked arm in arm to the dinner. Everyone stared but my focus remained on my three mates. Since our dragons mated, I have felt inquisitive and aroused by what it would feel like to mate. I don’t have anyone to ask about it either

and I am afraid to ask my mates. I also don’t feel comfortable asking my adoptive parents either. I wish that I was as

brave as Regina, but I am filled with so much doubt and fear that it nearly cripples me at times.
