Mated to Dragons novel

---- 26. ANGEL It was going to be one of those fancy dinners. Back home, I had watched people have these types of dinners in those fancy restaurants where I used to work from time to time. The tables were decorated with fancy dishes and so many utensils. The food always smelled delicious. Back on Earth, things were so much simpler. Mason had showed me around the dining room. The table had already been set for the dinner. There were a lot of plates set for only the family.

When I asked Mason about it, he explained that the table was always set for any unexpected guests. He showed me what utensils to use with what meals and told me the rules of the table. My mind was a jumbled mess. It was so bad that I had to call a maid to help me choose the perfect dress. 1 didn't want to mess up my first official meeting with their parents by dressing inappropriately. It shouldn't actually matter. Ihad heard the other servants talking. A submissive wasn't important.

She was just a toy ---- they could use for their pleasure. I hadn't paid much attention to it until the maid who helped me dress also commented on it. I stayed silent, allowing her to insult me.

Raising my hand, I pressed it to my neck. "Beautiful." I spun around with a gasp.

"H-how long have you been standing there?" Lucas's smile widened as he slowly straightened and moved further into the room. ---- "Long enough," he muttered. "Spin for me little rabbit." Ihesitated a moment before I followed his order. Spreading my arms out, I spun in a slow circle. "Beautiful," Lucas repeated. My cheeks heated at the compliment. Lucas moved closer. When he reached me, he turned me around to face the mirror again.

Our reflection in the mirror made me hyper-aware of our height difference. Maybe I should wear heels? As soon as the thought flashed through my mind, I pushed it aside. I wasn't going to put my comfort aside just to impress him. Lucas placed his hands on my hips as his eyes darted over my body again. His eyes lingered on my neck for a few seconds before they locked with mine. "How are you?" I blinked at him. That was not what I expected him to ask me. "Pm okay," I told him.

"How are you?" His lips curled up into a tired smile. "I'm fine." I didn't know what else to say. It felt like he had been avoiding me since the time he joined us in the
