can go into town for a few hours today?” Aislinn asked Drakk and Jex.
    Drakk turned and looked at her with a frown, “Why? We really can’t chance going into town, you know that.”
    Aislinn smiled at him sweetly. “But I need to check on a few things, and run to the store too.”
    Jex laughed at her and said, “What could you possibly need at the store, sweetheart? I told you I would get you whatever you need.”
    Aislinn bit her lips and turned around, she didn’t want to tell them why she wanted to go into town, it was little embarrassing. When she had left home, she had been wearing her grannie panties because she had needed to do laundry. Since coming here she had only been washing them out, now she needed her sexy underwear again. It was her one indulgence and she wasn’t going to give it up because she was embarrassed.
    “I need to go to the shop, check on the sales, make deposits, and then I have to swing by the store to pick up some feminine things.”
    Jex and Drakk looked at one another wans shrugged. “I told you it is a little dangerous for us.”
    “Oh, I know, and I wasn’t really asking for you to come with me, I thought that possibly you would let me just go into town by myself, you know for a few hours, and then come back and get me,” Aislinn said.
    “Yeah, that's not going to happen,” Drakk said and turned around, pinching is nose between his fingers. He definitely had to find a better approach in dealing with her. She tried to use her sweetness to get to them and though it may work on Jex, he was too old to be drawn in. One of them had to be able to keep their senses around this woman or they were both doomed to drop to their knees every time she turned on her charm.
    Jex just smiled and looked and her and nodded. Aislinn felt her anger begin to grow, they were basically patting her on the head and shooing her on her way. What the hell was that about, she was not a child, and she was not going to be treated as such. It was just not going to happen.
    “I get that you don’t know me that well yet, and we are still in the whole getting to know you phase, but this is not happening. You don’t get to tell me where I can and can’t go. If I decide to go into town, then I will go,” she said firmly and crossed her arms and waited for them to turn back around and pay attention to her.
    Drakk stood slowly, turned, and looked at her. Jex closed his eyes because he knew at this point that he was going to have start doing what he knew he was going to have to do for the rest of their lives—be the peacemaker.
    “Uh,” Jex started and then stepped back and paused when Drakk held up his hand, stopping him.
    “I told you it was too dangerous, and I meant it, there are no questioning decisions I make about your safety,” Drakk said firmly and Aislinn glared at him. He arched a brow when she moved up to glare at him, inches from his face.
    “I don’t know what kind of women you are used to dating, but let me make one thing clear to you. Don’t ever tell me what the hell I can and can’t do. I am not one of your common whores. Now, get the hell out of my way before I knock the crap out of you.” She stormed around him with her little nose held in the air. Drakk’s head flipped to Jex with a questioning confused look.
    “What the fuck just happened?” Drakk couldn’t believe that a little female had just laid down the law to him, an alpha dragon. Jex busted out laughing, failing to maintain a straight face. Laughter rolled from the other room and Drakk growled. With the dragons strong senses, all of the guys had just overheard him get slammed. He was never going to live this down. He looked first to the cave door she had stormed out and back at Jex, unsure which direction to stomp off in. Jex shrugged his shoulders and took off after Aislinn, leaving Drakk standing in a state of bewilderment.
    Well that went great. What made me even think I could figure out what went on with women. Drakk
