Chapter 1
Dimitri and I were finally alone. We were entwined as much as possible. We had been out all night and were away from all the madness at last. We'd spent all night at Lissa's coronation party, and as her guardian, I spent the whole night with her. But eventually the party had to end and after our farewells, Dimitri walked me to my door. We stopped outside my door and I leaned up for a goodnight kiss but again he caught me by surprise. He bent down and picked me up and swung my door open, but never broke the kiss and went straight to the bed where he took his shirt off. I never really got over how sexy he was and he was all mine. Anyway, he proceeded to take mine off and then it started to et hot and heavy.
Dimitri leaned down and kissed my hair and as always, it sent a shiver own my spine. I turned over and kissed him all over. His throat then his cheek and finally his smooth, soft lips.
"Roza, you know we're going to have to get used to the idea of becoming public and everyone staring at us," he whispered then kissed my cheek.
"I don't care, besides they already look at me like I'm a total idiot anyway, so I guess you're going to have to get used to it," I whispered back. He laughed quietly then pulled me closer.
"Rose, do you realise what a scandal we are? It hasn't even been 24 hours and people are already talking about us."
"So, maybe we'll have to shake it up a bit and say that we are secretly married or something, you know, to rough 'em up a little!" Dimitri laughed a little louder now and wasn't really getting the point that I was not joking.
"Rose that's why I love you, always making jokes and fooling around!" he laughed into my ear.
"I'm serious," I said firmly. He stopped laughing and his face was suddenly serious.
"We can't do that. We just got our status' back and you want to go fooling around like you just don't care. You could lose Lissa and then we wouldn't be able to see each other anymore." It made me realise he was right and I hated to admit it. I sighed in defeat and then looked into his eyes.
"Dimitri, how did you become Christian's guardian and I Lissa's?"
"I don't know…I think they thought that if we had different posts we wouldn't be able to see each other anymore but in reality, we will see each other because Christian is with Lissa and when they are with each other, so will we." I hadn't thought of that, but then again, he was Dimitri and he thought of everything.
He moved to get up and I pouted.
"Where are you going?" I protested. He simply smiled and leaned down to kiss me long enough to tell me I had to get up to. I really didn't want to, but I had work to do. We were going on a picnic with Lissa and Christian in the gardens, and since we were their guardian's and followed them everywhere, we were to follow their lead.
With our fingers entwined, we made our way to Lissa's room and, as predicted, everyone was staring with their mouths wide open. We stopped outside her door and knocked. She greeted us both with hugs and then invited us in. Christian was still fast asleep on her bed, snoring. We all laughed quietly. She still looked at him like he was the most wonderful thing in the world and to her, he was. Christian and me acted like we were brother and sister, always bickering and fighting. Lissa led us to a little porch that I didn't know was there and trust me, I knew where all the secret landings and corners were. We sat around a table and talked, until Christian finally joined us.
"Morning Sir Snoorze-a-lot" I said jokingly.
"Oh man, I was snoring again wasn't I?" he asked.
"A little more than that. You were all over the bed shouting 'No not the lamb! Anything but the lamb!" Lissa said and we all cracked up laughing.
"Har har, are we going on a picnic or not?" Christian grumbled. We stopped laughing and got ready to go.
