Thorin shook Zi Mei's hands.

"Here's to being roommates with benefits," Thorin said, winking at her mischievously.

"No, no, no, no benefits!" she replied adamantly.

As much as she is attracted to him and her traitorous body wants to jump on him, she will try NOT to get in bed with him. At least, not yet. She needs to get over her trauma from the miscarriage first. She might just freeze up the moment they got on the bed. It would not be good for her and for him if that happened.

"Hmmm…are you sure? It'll be kinda boring to just be regular roommates," Thorin looked disappointed.

"Well, I definitely expect you to do your part as a roommate, please just don't leave a mess," she told him. Thorin rolled his eyes at her. He gestured at his immaculate white shirt and suit.

"Look at me, lil Zi, do I look like the type to clean up messes I left behind??" he asked.

"Well, too bad, I am not your maid…the contract never said anything about cleaning up your mess!" she replied pointedly.

Thorin didn't reply. Instead he strolled off, heading back into the house. Zi Mei stomped after him. So typical of him to walk away in the middle of a conversation. Rude old dragon, she thought.

She made faces at his back as she followed him. "Oooo look at me, I am such a pretty boy, wearing my perfect suit, I can't lift a single finger to clean up my mess," she muttered mockingly under her breath.

Thorin suddenly stopped and turned to her.

"What was that? You said something?"

Zi Mei clamped her mouth shut and put on a wide-eyed innocent look.

"What was what? Huh? Who said what? " she asked innocently. She pretended to look around in surprise. "Nope, no one said anything, are you hearing things?"

He frowned at her. Obviously he heard her. He swung around and continued to walk away without waiting for her.

"Wait, Drags, are we going back now?" she called out to him as she tried to keep in step with him. The damned dragon with his long legs has long wide strides that made it hard for her to keep up with him. She literally had to run. He paused and waited for her to catch up.

"Not really, I'll send my team over to cleanse your place, we will go back tomorrow," he told her. "I need to get back to work so you can…do whatever it is that you do," he said.

Then he vanished, leaving her alone at the brightly lit corridor with french doors and gardens flanking both sides. She didn't bring her books with her. She only has her handbag with her now. Thorin's place is magical and fun but it is like a prison to her. It reminded her of the days she spent wandering around waiting to 'serve' Thorin.

She shuddered. She never wanted to go back to those days. She didn't even know how she lived through that. Spending days doing nothing, reading in the library and then waiting to be Thorin's sex slave. It was a depraved and sad life. She sees that now.

Perhaps that was why the miscarriage traumatised her so much. She literally had nothing going for her. Her whole existence here at that time relied fully on Thorin and his attention. So the thought of having something that belonged to her gave her some sort of control over her own life even though she had lost it when she found out. All the therapists Thorin made her see didn't help because she was still living here. In this house where it all happened. She doesn't think she even wants to go into the room she shared with Thorin. It might just bring back unwanted memories.

She may be Thorin's contracted mistress and baby making slave but she will never let him be the sole purpose of her existence again. It is time she finds a purpose for her own life and lead her own life apart from him. Staying in her own house was a good move.

She wandered down the corridor, admiring the many wondrous gardens. It looks like she may have to stay over here for tonight but she didn't want to sleep in their room. Not the one with the skimpy prostitute clothes. Not ever again.

"Wait…I can't go back home but that doesn't mean I have to stay here!" she realised. She took out her phone and made a call to Jazzmine.

"Hey Jazzmine, what do you think about a sleepover in a hotel tonight?" she asked the moment her friend picked up.

"Zi Mei, I am sorry, I can't. I have another important assignment due and I am struggling with it right now," Jazzmine was apologetic. Zi Mei sighed.

Why do people always assume that college students lead carefree and easy lives? Judging from her friends, they are always saddled with assignments and homework and projects and exams, they barely have time to hang out nowadays. She tried Sheena instead.

"Sorry babe! I…err…am busy right now," Sheena said breathlessly and giggled. Then the line got cut off. A moment later, Sheena sent her a brief message "Sorry, bz" along with kissing and couple emojis. Zi Mei grinned. Sheena is always hooking up with one guy or another. She sure is one party girl despite her recent breakup with her boyfriend.

Now, there's only Darren. Only Darren has time for her and they are taking similar courses now. She wondered if Darren had informed his parents about dropping out of engineering and taking up art with her. They might have a fit. They might even withdraw financial support. Since she is now a rich person, although she doesn't feel like it at all, she could even offer to pay for Darren's full education. Of course she couldn't do that, Darren would question where she got the money from.

She can't very well invite him for a hotel sleepover. Thorin will have a fit and Darren might misinterpret it as something more. She was so desperate she contemplated calling Jessica. Then she thought better of it. That icy cold dragon woman is barely good company. She might even make her more depressed.

Zi Mei briefly considered asking Thorin to go with her to a hotel. He might just misinterpret it too. Inviting a man, even a dragon shapeshifter man, to a hotel room can only mean one thing.

"Argh. What should I do then?" she asked the empty space. Obviously no one replied. She stomped down the corridor and imagined the luxurious living room. A door appeared. She opened it and came to the living room. She flung herself on the sofa and lay there for a moment. Thinking.

"Lim? You around here somewhere?" she asked the empty room.

The ever-polite bodyguard appeared. He bowed.

"Yes?"

"I am bored," she told him. He merely nodded and didn't reply. He was never one for conversation.

"How do you get rid of demons?" she asked him. She is treating him like her own personal Alexa. Except that he has all the right answers about the dragon shapeshifters and their world. He looked slightly taken aback by her question.

"I can get rid of the lesser demons but the more powerful ones only Master Thorin can get rid of them," he replied.

"Oh, can I get rid of them myself then? Potions and spells? Blood of the dragon? Horn of the unicorn? Anything?" she asked. Surely there is a way for a human to fight demons.

Lim looked uncomfortable.

"Blood of the dragon?" he swallowed nervously.

Zi Mei clapped her hands over her mouth. She had merely said it as a figure of speech. The sort of things that you say when it comes to all things supernatural and magical.

"Oh no! Sorry, sorry. No, no, I was just asking, I didn't mean it…although…" she eyed him contemplatively. "Can I even hurt a dragon? Is that even possible?"

Lim nodded. "Yes, you can obtain blood of dragons…but it was solely used in black magic so I would advise that you do not do that,"

Oh so she can hurt dragons despite their powers. She wondered how do humans hurt dragon shapeshifters and what sort of black magic uses dragon's blood. Out of curiosity, of course. Not that she intended to do anything like that.

"So, I can like cut you with a knife and get your blood?" she asked Lim. Now, he looked extremely uncomfortable.

"No, Miss Zi Mei, actually, we can't be hurt by a mortal weapon but there are other ways which I am not allowed to divulge to you," he replied.

She shrugged. It's not as if she wanted to hurt him or Thorin or any of the dragon shapeshifters. What would she need the blood of a dragon for anyway?

"Can you book me a nice hotel room for tonight? One without demons of course," she asked him instead. He nodded then he disappeared.

"Hotel room? Why do you need that?" Thorin appeared next to her, making her jump. Great. Why does he have to appear now?

"Don't you have work or something?" she asked him.

"I didn't want to leave you alone here for too long but looks like you've found something to amuse yourself with," he drawled.

"So....a hotel room? What do you have planned for us?" he asked, his eyes glowing in anticipation.
