291 Girl’s Talk
******************
CHAPTER 291
A soft smile ford on Jade’s lips as she gazed lovingly at her friend. A few days ago, they spoke about her eting soone and now she had down that, she was conflicted.
“Babe,” Jade called out sweetly, “It’s going to be okay.”
“I know but I am not so sure. I know we moved at a fast pace but I really really do like him,” she added much emphasis on the real, so Jade could understand from her point.
“I get it, Asia. The heart knows what it wants and we may delay it but we can never deny what destiny has in store for us. Now tell , what is the matter?”
She lowered her gaze briefly but when she lifted her head again, she had a more determined expression on her face.
Scooting over to where her friend sat, Asia managed a small smile before she opened her mouth and filled her friend in on her problems.
“He claims to love but, he also hesitated and holds a girl in his mories.”
.....
“Are you sure?” Jade inquired.
She had seen how they behaved once and did not need a soothsayer to tell her Aramis was so much interested in her and one thing was sure, dragons did not cheat or do two won.
They love their mates and remain loyal.
There could be problems at tis but most would stick to their lover. Just like Sky and Jenny. He had a slip-up but he regretted it so much and never let it occur again.
“You know better than this, Jade, of course, I am sure. Once, on our first night, he called out her na when he slept and I heard it loud and clear.”
Jade’s eyes widened a fraction at the reveal but when she thought carefully about it, she passed. “Wait, you said your first night together?”
“Sure.”
A small smile spread on her lips again. “Babe, that I believe is too early to judge him.”
“Isn’t that too early to love as well?”
“Well, you know how their dragons are? Primal creatures that, well, they know what they want. I was kissed by Xander the very first day we saw eye to eye and he saved .”
“Oh wow. Against your consent?”
She nodded her head at her friend, “Yup. He saved thrice that night and I escaped each ti until the last.”
‘Whoa! I bet he never t a girl like you. Most would swoon at him and fall into his arms, feigning being hurt bit in your case, you fled.”
“Sure, as much. You know how u am with a guy. I never had that ti and my father made sure of it. So,” she continued, shifting on the bed to get a more comfortable position.
“So, when he t , he must have gotten srized or sothing and he kissed out of the blue.”
“Umm, not really forceful,” Asia tried to correct but within her, she knew it was a close case.
“Well, I never gave consent.”
Her eyes lit up as a thought ca to mind and she lifted her index finger, “Ah! I am betting you did sothing to him. What was it? A slap, or a kick?”
“Neither.”

“What! You an to tell you let him go scot-free?”
‘Nope. Much worse in fact. I kneed him in the groin.”
Asia’s eyelids blinked a thousand tis that minute at her friend.
Whoa her friend was feisty, she knew but not to that extent. “Whoa! Babe, you did it. Wow, no wonder he never let you go.”
“Hahhaa,” she laughed heartedly. “I ran away but that was the beginning of our love. He knew what he wanted right from ti and he went for it. I can say the sa for Aramis.”
“Hmm, maybe not. Turns out you are his mate. So Xander followed his deep instincts.”
“Who knows,” Jade shrugged. “You could be his mate too,” she pointed out.
“I doubt that,” Asia quipped. “Things are different. He has another girl in his mind and heart.”
“And how can you be sure when you do not know? Or did Aramis tell you that himself?”
“No, he did not.”
“So?” Jade scooted closer to her and lifted her chin up so Asia could look at her. “Hey, look at , learn from and do not make the sa mistakes I made. I am in this sexual frustration because of what I made him promise.”
“It is different for Aramis and . I can feel the pull, the energy, want and need between us. The chemistry is on a whole different level but I cannot shake off the fact that I am second in his heart.”
“Are you?”
“What?” she dimd her eyes at her friend, trying to figure out what she ant. “I do not understand you, Jade. Explain.”
“Did you hear him ntion a girl’s na? Have you inquired about her from him? Or even ask Astoria if she knew her and they were related. Just calm down babe and trust your instincts. Your heart wants this boy, now all you can do is follow that heart and be clean to know your stand.”
Asia lowered her head as she closed her eyes. This was taking on more toll on her than she had planned.
“Fine. I will.”
“Good. Because you, my friend, you deserve to know.”
“Okay.”
“Oh and yes, when would you be telling him or I an confronting him in your case?”
“Umm, I can ask you the sa. When would you tell Xander you love him and although it hurts you about the past, you want him in your life and cannot do without him?”
“I will, right after I sort out this major attack. I do not want anything causing problems between us.”
“How?”
She released Asia’s hands and relaxed on the bed, “I know him. Xander would very much beco overly protective and would not let go for the fight.”
“No. I believe he has seen it that you are not a baby nor a weakling.”
“He knows but his primal instincts to protect his mate above all else would kick in. I can beco a danger to him.”
“Duh, he would protect you whether you tell him how you feel or not,” Asia reminded her.
“Yes, but way worse when I let him know. You, on the other hand, Aramis is perfect in that accord I think. He knows you are strong.”
“Sigh, what are we, twelve? Aramis knows I am strong but he almost lost the first ti when he found and he felt it. Now that he has t again, he would be more protective of my person.”
“Gosh, why did we get involved with such overprotective guys like this?” Jade wondered. “For mine, it is like I never left my father’s shell. Now I just have Xander’s own to fight with once more.”
“You would be fine. Do not worry. I would let him know because boy, is he finding it hard to control himself and ... I do not know, with his charm, I might give in but not until I know his heart is mine.”
“Fiesty,” Jade grinned. “That’s my girl. After this attack, and we defeated the Anders I would be the first to let him know. It is for the best. I am no child in need of protection and I need him to concentrate. His people need him.”
