Reade frowned, but only slightly. She understood where he was coming from. She knew that it was the right thing to do, but it still felt wrong. Defiant, somehow. Like she was betraying her Father. She wondered if two wrongs made a right. Just because her father had gone against her with his dishonesty, did it make it okay for her to go against him with her own?

The sound of the door chime caused Jackson to stand from his spot and turn into the direction of the door. Things had become so hectic, that Reade found it hard to remember that Drakon was an actual family business that had customers coming and going. She found it ironic that some of the customers seemed so interested in items that could be used to slay dragons, yet they were being served by a dragon.

Jackson closed the curtain, separating Scott and Reade from the front of the store where he stayed and manned the cash register.

Reade turned back to the crystals on the table and compared them to the watered down version of what they sold at the store. The color was vastly different, the yellows looked more orange and the pinks looked more red. Reade turned with her mouth parted slightly, preparing herself to ask Scott about the crystals and she found him staring at her.

Reade expected Scott to shrug off her question like he usually would and look away, but he didn’t. His sharpened gaze continued to stare her down with esurience and her heart began to race with the nerves that were boiling at the pit of her stomach.

“I kissed Jackson,” she thought to herself as she maintained eye contact with Scott.

As if Scott had read her mind, he stretched out his long legs and picked her up from the floor with ease. He sat her on his lap like a toy doll that he expected to dance, to entertain, to please him. Reade couldn’t help but want nothing more than to please him.

But she relished in the fact that he felt jealous and she knew it.
