“What?” Rei squawked. He planted both of his hands on Yichen’s chest and shoved the vampire. “That’s exactly what that means! It’s a driver’s license. It says that I’m allowed to drive.”
“You don’t know how to drive,” Yichen argued, laughter dancing among his words.
“Of course I do. You push the peddles to stop and go. Turn that big wheel in the middle to go left and right. Easy. Humans do it all the time.”
“Oh, Gods no. Just…no. There’s no way I’m letting you drive.” Yichen snickered as he sat up and pushed to his feet.
Rei was close on his heels, following him out of the room. He grabbed Yichen by the shoulders, turning him toward their shared room. “This is ridiculous. I can’t stand on the top of the car. I can’t drive the car. This is not what I imagined my new life in the human world being like.”
Yichen’s laugh echoed down the hall. “No driving!”
Whatever. Let Yichen and the rest of the vampires keep their cars. This life with his mate was already better than anything he could have dreamed of. They had to accomplish a few more things—starting with rescuing Li Xiang from the dragon—and he could have his happily ever after with his vampire.
“Teach me to drive!” Rei demanded.
“Not a chance.”
“I bet I can think of a way to convince you,” he purred as he closed the door to their room, shutting out the rest of the world.
Yes, this new life was going to be much better than being a prince.
Epilogue
LI XIANG
It was dark.
Even with his vampiric night vision, it was still dark.
Water dripped and echoed off the damp stone walls of the cave.
When the dragon dove into the water, he’d briefly passed out from the impact. At least, that was what he’d thought had happened. The next thing he knew, the dragon was climbing out of the water into this cave. The giant beast had carried him for a bit, winding through the lightless tunnels until he was dropped on his ass on the hard, cold, stone floor.
Twisting its long body to face him, the massive dragon stared at him with glowing yellow eyes and roared loud enough to leave his ears ringing. With a shaking hand, Xiang reached for his sword to defend himself, but there was no point. After bellowing at him, the dragon continued through the tunnels without a backward glance, leaving Xiang sitting cold, wet, and alone in the cave.
What the fuck?
Oh, Didi fucking owed him. Owed him big.
Not that Yichen had expected to be attacked and kidnapped by a dragon.
None of them could have possibly seen that coming.
How in the world had the fae queen gotten the power to summon a dragon? Was it thanks to the sword she’d pulled?
Of course, he knew nothing about dragons and the fae. Maybe it was a spell. Maybe the queen and the dragon were old friends.
Whatever. He needed to find a way out of here and get to his clan. They had to be worried about him, assuming they didn’t think he was dead. Unless they could get Junjie to confirm otherwise.
Pushing to his feet, Xiang stared back in the direction they’d come. Should he chance trying to find his way to the spot where the dragon had entered the cave? Considering they’d come in from the water, there was a good chance the cave was somewhere underground in the ocean or bay or a deep river. Unfortunately, the darkness of the cave made it hard to gauge distance and direction. He didn’t know how long they’d traveled, and he’d lost track of how many turns they’d taken. Would the dragon get pissed if he started wandering?
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! If only he could see a little better—
His phone!
Xiang dug his cell phone from his soggy pants and pushed the power button, but nothing happened. Not that he was too surprised. Phones were made to be relatively waterproof, but probably not dragged-through-a-river-by-a-dragon proof. That meant no flashlight and no way of contacting his clan.
He stood for a moment, debating whether to go back or to go forward in the direction of the dragon. Did it really matter? No. He just knew he couldn’t continue to remain where he was.
