CHAPTER 271
“I love you and won’t ever hurt you,” Xander assured her once more.
He knew she was still hurt so much but now, for their mission to work, she needed to trust him completely and trust the fact that her safety was his priority.
“Yeah. I know.” She gazed into his eyes, as though searching for answers to an unknown question he knew nothing of. “So, what do we do now?”
He did not wait long to ponder on her question before he replied, “We return home for now.”
“Alright. I would respect your decision.”
“Thank you. Oh and Jade, please, just in case of next time, do not do what you just did again. That was risky. I cannot have you been hurt.”
“But I wasn’t trained that way. I am not like a trophy wife or something that would just stay at home and wait for her husband.”
.....
His cheeks pulled upward to the left side a bit, as a lovely smile formed on his lips.
“What is that cheeky grin for?”
“Well, it is glad to see you think of us as a couple,” Xander let out.
“Oh please. Do not get ahead of yourself. I am not marrying you.” Her face looked so serious that Xander did not get her joke and felt hurt by her outright rejection.
She saw the pain in his eyes briefly before it disappeared as he tried to mask it so much and shook her head in her mind.
He was such a darling.
“Okay. Since I haven’t convinced you enough yet to allow me to be the father of your children, I have my work cut out for me.” He tried his best not to feel sad and just work a way around her words till she had no choice and she was ready for him.
“I see. Well, you have a lot of convincing to do, Dragon Lord.”
Immediately she said that a thought came to his mind and he smiled out some more again. “Also, since you are not a trophy wife, you still cannot go out of Xan-Man 002 or else.”
“Else what? For the record, you can ask Asia or anyone having a report about me, I am one high-level stubborn girl,” Jade boasted.
“Tsk, I do not need to ask someone. No one knows you better than I do, Jade. I know you in and out.’ He closed the gap between their faces, peering deeply into her eyes as though challenging her to say otherwise.
And for the record, he knew she was already challenged. Meaning she was going to fall into his trap.
“I accept your challenge, Xander. I would not stay.”
“Good. Glad you said so while we were still here so I can show you just what your punishment would be.
He released his grip around her waist a little bit, till only his fingers held unto her clothes.
Her eyes went wide when she realized his dirty trick. “Oh no, you won’t Xander.”
“You just would never know until you try. Agree to be obedient, Jade Nova Frost?”
“Nope. Let me fall all you want then. Prove your love, Xander Warner.”
They were both two headstrong individuals challenging themselves with her life.
“As you wish, my love.” To her surprise, he released his hands completely letting her fall.
Rather than falling as he had intended to scare her a bit, he was shocked to see Jade on a piggyback on his back.
How she had quickly done that was way beyond him. The second his fingers feed her, she ducked around his body, strapping her legs around his waist with her hands wrapped securely around his neck.
“Hhehe, what a girl.”
“Well, a girl has to be prepared.” Saying that, a small dagger appeared close to his throat and a string of light flashed in his eyes.
He had never planned on harming her.
He planned on letting her fall and enjoying the freedom, then he would move in and scoop her up like in the movies when a superhero was about to save the female lead.
He wanted her to have that experience again but his mate was testing him.
“I see, very prepared,” Xander remarked.
“Yes, darling. Well prepared. You weren’t thinking that I would not have my own plans if I want to escape at will?”
“Nope and yes. Come down or we both fall. You are obstructing my wings,” he lied.
“I doubt that, Dragon Lord. If just piggybacking your mate is going to make your crash land, then don’t you think that you do not deserve the title of Dragon Lord?”
If it was either one of the guys that spoke, he would have made them eat those words. But what could he do now that it was his dearly beloved mate?
Chuckling at her words, Xander smiled again, this time more mischievously. “I guess you do not know.”
“Hmm. Know what? Speak up, Xander.”
“Simple.”
“What is?” she inquired.
“This. You forget that I have the power to fly.’
“No, I did not.”
“Good, but the question is, do you?” He did not give her a second to think properly about his question, when he leapt up with so much force, sending them further into the sky like a jet.
She shut her eyes tight while holding unto his neck tightly, making it uncomfortable for him to breathe properly. Not minding that, Xander kept on ascending into the sky at top speed as his wings tucked in, behind him, close to her body.
She was both shocked by the scary speed while at the same time bothered about how his feathers touched her.
It was ticklish but now wasn’t the time to laugh. She was in danger because of this naughty mate of hers.
All of a sudden he stopped and spread his wings wide. It was at this point she opened her eyes. By now, no longer was the knife pressed against his throat, rather she held unto it for dear life.
“Hahaha...” The sound of his laughter brought back her senses and she narrowed her gaze at his head.
“I told you, my love. But you wished to test me.”
“Xander, you just had to do that, huh? Without warning!” she added.
“Hahaha, sure. Where would be the fun in all that if I warned you? I needed to be able to take you by surprise, don’t you think, Jade?”
“I do. It was fun and it did not scare me one bit,” she lied.
Of course, she did not want to allow him to win. In this game, she planned on coming out victorious.
Sadly, she was playing against a dragon. He was out of her league.
“I see that my prowess isn’t enough. Very well then. We shall see if you can still say that after this. Oh, and you may want to release your hold on my neck before you choke me and we both die.”
“What?”
Again, without warning, he turned around swiftly and dove back down while his wings tucked at his back again, allowing the law of gravity to take place.
The first time she did not scream but this time, her heart jumped into her mouth as her screams almost shut down his eardrums.
“Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!! XANDER!!!”

Hhahaha, who enjoyed that?
