Chapter Six

A Perverted, Walking Dumpster.

Xavier leaned closer to me, so close I could see a hint of orange in his green eyes. "I will kiss you," he repeated his earlier threat.

Now, any regular princess would have allowed him to kiss her, but you see, well, I am not an ordinary princess. 

An awfully mischievous thought popped into my mind.

"Go on then, get it over with." I puckered my lips together. "What are you waiting for? Give me a big smooch!"

I couldn't believe what I was saying, but it would be so worth it.

Yes, so very worth it.

He seemed taken aback by my sudden actions. Blinking, he shook his head. "You asked for it!" Xavier's lips moved towards mine, hungry to feel my lips against his; he was very eager.

They edged closer with each passing second. Just before they collided, I closed the gap, bit down his lower lip, and stomped on his foot.

"Ngggt!"

I shoved his chest, and Xavier stumbled backwards. "Sorry? I didn't quite catch that?"

Tiny droplets of blood dribbled from his lip, where I had bit him. I smirked as he instantly wiped it off. "You! You! You're no princess! You're a-a–"

"Yes?" I cocked an eyebrow. "I am a what?"

"You're a–"

"Spit it out, man!"

Xavier cleared his throat. "I beg your pardon, Milady. I must apologise for my actions." He bowed. "That was not the way to treat a Goddess, do forgive me."

"Muhaha! I–what did you say?" I raised a brow.

Note to self: there is something very wrong with this man.

Someone, or rather something, hit Xavier on the back of his head. "Behave, would you?" Kaylin said, lowering her dagger. "Or I'll thump you again."

"Do that again and–" Xavier swiftly turned to face his attacker, rubbing the back of his head. "–I will make your life hell!"

"It already is hell, Captain." Came Ava's voice from the top of a wyvern. Her lips pulled upwards into a grin. "I thought you said learning to ride these were difficult?"

I raised a brow. 

What in the world? This should be impossible! How can she be doing that? 

"H-how did you–?" Upon seeing a lizard hanging out of the wyvern's mouth, I trailed off. "Of course, you found its weakness."

I should have seen that coming.

"Which is?" Both Kaylin and Xavier asked in unison.

I picked up a branch from the ground and tossed it at the blue wyvern. "Food." Within a second, the stick had vanished down the wyvern's throat. "They're like big fucking pigs; they eat practically anything."

"Huh, they'll get on well with Xavier then," said Kaylin.

I almost choked on absolutely nothing.

An odd noise rumbled from deep within Xavier's throat. "What is wrong with eating?"

"Oh, nothing, just that you're a walking dumpster." Ava chirped in.

I snorted very, very loudly. "A perverted, walking dumpster."
