CHAPTER 269
"You better not be thinking about what to do with me, Xander." She caught him red-handed. He smiled at her, causing her to squint at him. "So typical. Dragons."
Xander smiled yet again. She was a cute annoying, stubborn human. "And you… Humans. So naughty."
"Come I won't do anything with you. Just thinking of a way to make you more obedient if you know what I mean."
"Nope. I am not some pet of yours or some caged animal. I am a human being and a free one at that."
He shook his head briefly. "No one said she was not a free human being. Tsk. She just did not understand from his point of view.
"You just do not listen my tigress. I would have to take care of you properly."
"Hmm."
"I know you are free and it is one thing I admire. I am not holding you for ransom or something. This is for your own safety."
"Thanks but I am Jade. I can protect myself," she argued.
