16 – Getting to Know You

Everly POV

We soon came to a small clearing surrounded by the trees, minbow wildflowers in full bloom in patches on the ground, the grass unkept and natural. A large red blanket was placed on the ground with many throw pillows and a variety of fruits, vegetables, meats, and sweets were placed on silver trays.

We removed our shoes and before I could sit, I found myself pulled against the strong chest of Alexander, his thick muscled thighs encasing my legs like a warm blanket and his arms wrapped around my waist.

“Well hello!” I teased. “Hello my sweet! He teased back, rubbing his nose gently on my cheek. Tristian sat cross legged in front of me and grabbed my ankles, placing my feet in his lap so I was stretched out among these two God like men.

Alexander reaches over and grabs a tray that had a variety of finger foods, grabbing a strawberry and holding it my lips.

“Open.” He commands, I do as he requests. I know I should be all ‘Miss Independent and all, but frankly I love this feeling of being spoiled. Jupiter fed me breakfast, might as well let them feed me lunch.

And I remembered Stella once telling me at school that many supernatural males have it in their DNA to be possessive and want to female, including feeding them.

provide for their

Tristian and Alexander take turns feeding me a few bites of fruit and the most delicious deep fried chicken mini slider. It was so succulent, I asked for another

was even feeling bold enough and offered both of the guys a few bites of food too. They accepted generously and you could see on their faces how elated they were that I wanted to care for them as much as they were caring for me. We had the best conversation which flowed seamlessly. I thought it would be awkward, but it felt like I knew these guys all my life.

I leaned that Tristian’s favorite colors are purple and silver. His dragon, Gerhart, has an infinity for air and he can blow winds hot or cold as well as produce a purple fire that could also change temperature. Apparently he and Alexander love to have weather fights since they can both manipulate temperatures. He told me that he once created a tornado that buried an entire town and his father made him uncover it with a hand shovel! Luckily no one was hurt but it took Tristian all summer with his dragon speed to uncover a single building!

Tristian stopped aging at the age of 26 but has lived for about 2,026 human years. His favorite food is pizza or anything with pasta, he hates the human food Brussel sprouts (can’t blame him there), he loves anything with chocolate and he has a lucky silver chain with the family crest around his ankle that was given to him by his grandmother. It was enchanted so when he shifts, it expands to fit his dragon too. It is one of his most prized possessions and he never takes it off.

He has three younger sisters who are all married off and have a whopping 18 nieces and nephews between them, all hybrids. He ascended his throne from his Father almost 500 years ago after his mother sadly passed away unexpectedly. He enjoys hiking, running, and out of all the other Kings, he is the most skilled flyer. He knows 32 different languages fluently and travels to the Terra Realm about once a quarter for at least two to three weeks to meet with advisors and survey his lands.

Alexander is also roughly 2,026 human years old and stopped aging at 26. His birthday is three days after Tristian so they often celebrate together. Thezon (pronounced THEY–zon) is Alexander’s dragon, and he has an infinity for water. Apparently both Alexander and Thezon are very strong swimmers. Thezon can dive the deepest depths of the oceans and can breathe underwater. Alexander can hold his breath for long periods of time too and severe temperatures do not harm him. Both can manipulate water or any liquid for that matter including making ice or steam as well as can bend it and summon it from air particles.

Alexander of course demonstrated his abilities by simply lifting his finger and the apple juice in the silver goblet floated up like you see in old space documentaries and a translucent quivering ball came to my mouth. I opened my mouth wide and it popped inside, making me jump at the sudden rush of liquid. Al, as he told me is his nickname, enjoys reading, going to the beach, plays chess and plano, and dabbles in pottery Apparently many of the intricate colorful vases around the palace are Alexander originals. Al likes the color blue; his favorite snack is cucumber sandwiches but his all–time favorite meat is lamb shanks. His go to indulgent is to eat whipped cream straight from the can, and he secretly enjoys taking long bubble baths with rose petals and exfoliating face masks!

This 6’4 blonde god with a man bun enjoys face masks. I am so looking forward to seeing this up close. I even joked that we should have a sleepover and get manicures together too. That eamed me serious glare before a tickle fight where I lost terribly. I have the most sensitive tickle spots.

I loved just hoor open they were with me. We shared so many laughs that my sides were paining and my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. We talked for hours, telling embarassing childhood stories and they hamored me with historical stories until the sun set over the horizon and the purple haze of the nighttime sky started to peak out.

we made men were back to the malare. I decided in sak 1 metion that has been one mind since I met Lucien at the hall. The was think it in

16–Getting to Know You

possible to ever meet your dragons? I mean, I would hope that it’s okay to meet them. I’ve always wanted to meet a dragon and I don’t want them to feel left out or anything. Oh my sweet potatoes, what if they don’t like me? What if they get hurt because of me? Will they eat me? How does it feel to fy? 1 want –

Tristian stopped us and grabbed me by the shoulders firmly, halting my spiraling “Breathe Everly. Absolutely you can meet them, sweetheart. They are itching to meet you too. We just didn’t want to overwhelm you so soon. I know I speak for all of us when I say our Dragons love you unconditionally already Gerhart is like a whipped puppy already. That brute won’t shut up about you! They will protect you just as much as we will, if not more. They are the most possessive beasts and you belong to them just as we all belong to you. Okay?” I nod in response, feeling much better. Tristian smiles and kisses my forehead and we continue to walk.

When we finally reach the bottom stairs of the terrace to head back inside the palace, the dark blue sky is littered with stars already. The guys begin to ascend the stairs but I refuse to move, non stopping them in their tracks.

My body had been streaming at me all day and I was itching in my soul to taste those beautiful lips. Like I did with Lucien at the ball, I made my way up a few steps so I could be level with both of these fine pieces of meat. I wasted no time, grabbed Alexander’s neck and crashed my lips against his soft plump pink lips. He was stunned for a moment before he quickly took control of the kiss, nipping at my bottom lip and demanding entrance with the tip of his tongue to which I granted eagerly. His strong lean hands were resting on my hips and he pulled me close. Our saliva exchange was hot and messy, his thick tongue ravening every corner of my mouth. Neither one of us wanting to part ways until we had to catch our breath.

Tristian was then on me like melted butter on a baked potato. No sooner were my swollen lips released from Al, did Tristian seize my mouth in an equally searing passionate display of dominance and wanting desire. He was not as forceful, instead moving his lips sweetly against my own in a tango of sorts, but he still took control. He was so sensual and I couldn’t get enough of him. He tasted divine. They both did. I moan in approval as my body heats up at his feather like caressing against my lower back. My hands had been tugging on his sandy blonde hair earning me an approving grunt. We pull away when neither of us has any oxygen to spare, breathing heavily. Carnal desire is in both of their eyes and I no doubt am feeling the same.

Fanning myself because that was way too hot for my own good, I say “now that was a great way to end the best date! Thank you gentlemen!” I add sweetly before turning and dashing up the stairs in haste, laughing at the two stunned dragons who stayed rooted in their place. I can’t help but call out when 1 reach the top of the stairs, still giddy like a schoolgirl “last one to the door has to sleep on the floor!” And I see them begin to ascend the stairs three at a time. Oh crap, better run!
