Chapter 2

~POV: Rose

After we left the ice cream place and few more threats to Christian I told the 'love birds' that I would catch them later, because I just couldn't help but wonder why Jesse was back. I mean I know he has to get his assigned guardian and all that, but… I believe there's another reason why he's back. I start to chuckle to myself when I think about how terrified Jesse and Ralf must be with me. I absolutely have nothing to worry about with that scumbag and his moron of a friend Ralf Sarkozy.

As I continue walking I hear someone call my name and when turn to look there's Adrian running up to me.

"Hey, Little Dhampir I've been looking everywhere for you. Where have you been?"

"Out" Rose said clearly annoyed by his sudden presence.

"Oh, I see out causing trouble" Adrian said with a grin plastered across his face.

"When am I never?"

"Well, are you busy right now?"

"Why?"

"Well if your not I was just wondering maybe" Adrian says while picking Rose up by her waist. "We could you know hang out…"

"Hang out…?"

"Yeah" Adrian says putting her back down.

"So by hang out you mean playing watching movies and eating popcorn, then im in."

When Rose starts to walk again Adrian catches Rose's wrist. "You know that's not what I meant."

"I know, but" Roses phone soon goes off with a new text. "Please Adrian let's just watch a movie tonight."

"Ok, but afterwards that pretty head of yours better not forget that you're all mine."

"Ok see you later, bye" Rose says as she kisses Adrian's cheek before he leaves.

I look down at my phone and it's a text from my…. mother.

'Rose report to the guardians building NOW.'

XxxxxxxxxxxxX

When I arrive at the guardians building everybody's in a flurry. I automatically switch to guardian mode and walk over to where I see Eddie is standing at a table looking at what looks like a map with other guardians that look familiar.

"—but it doesn't make any sense why would anyone want to bring in striogi in the first place?" Guardian Abrams asked.

"The question is how they would bring them inside. These maps do not show one place where striogi might be able to get in without notice" Guardian Reece inputs.

"But even if striogi wanted to get in they would have to break through the wards first. Is there any way could make sure there would not be any security breaches?" Eddie asks.

"Yes, were going have a selected group of guardians patrol around court on a daily basis to make sure this type of thing won't have a chance of happening again. Dimitri answered. It didn't take him long to gain his lethal status back in the past months.

"With that being said every guardian must be on alert and may report any suspicions they might have." Janine finishes. Does she always have to have the last word?

When the group disperses I figure this my chance to go ask some questions about what happened. The first person I seek out is Eddie. Who is talking with Janine and…Dimitri. I just tell my self to stop, suck it up and just walk over there. It doesn't matter if he's there it's not like I have anything to be worried about.

"So, can you explain to me what happened?"

"We had a security scare. Guardian Reece was doing a ward check and found that it was broken" Eddie responds.

"How?"

"We don't know there wasn't a stake found." Janine answers.

"Shouldn't we do more investigating on what caused it, so it doesn't happen again? Because whatever it was can happen again if we don't know what caused it since we know there wasn't a stake involved."

"We can't do that. The only thing that can be done now is to guard the wards. Further investigation is not necessary at this time. "You also cannot go investigating on your own if that's what you're trying to say. Just leave this to us." Dimitri disagreed with the hint of annoyance before him and my mother walked away.

What was his problem? Now he's shunning my suggestions. He has got to be shiting me if he even thinks I'm going to sit back and do nothing at all. Has he forgotten who I am?

"Hey, Rose are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok, and by the way I've been meaning to ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, you know Jesse's back right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Have you like hung out with him since he came?"

"Not really. Well tonight there was going to be this party and me and Mia was going to go, and I guess he's going to be there."

"Ok. Where is this party and hey! How come I didn't already hear about this?"

"Well, I found out today it's suppose to be 'secret'.

"Huh, a secret party. We've been to how many of these supposedly 'secret' parties before?

"I know right was just going to ditch and just chill out somewhere."

"Ok, and remember that we're training tomorrow, so you better bring you're A game or that ass is grass."

"Don't worry I won't. I almost forgot" Eddie turns back around with a smirk on his face before leaving. "Dimitri is training with us tomorrow."

Just great. Just fucking great.

When I arrive home from the meeting all I want to do is shower, I have so many things on my mind and all I want to do is feel the hot water on my skin loosen up my muscles, and wish it could cleanse my mind and just give it a break. I run the shower, grab my I-pod from room and hook it up to my speaker. When I strip out all my clothes and enter the shower the first song that plays is Catch Me by: The Jezabels. I automatically start to feel calmer. When I'm finish showering I wrap the towel around myself and I'm met with the coldest refreshing breeze ever. I soon start to get ready and picking the outfit I'm going to wear over to Adrian's place and an outfit for late tonight when it's time for the party. While I'm deciding on rather or not to wear gray flats or my black sandals ones with my teal and gray shirt and gray denim cutoff shorts I got a call from Liss.

"Hey, Liss" Rose answers happy to hear her best friend.

"Hey, are you busy?" Lissa asks with no trace of emotion.

"No, I'm just deciding on what shoes to wear over to Adrian's why?"

"No reason. I'm just…" Lissa replied melancholy.

"What? What's wrong?" Rose asks with immediate concern.

"Nothing, I'll just talk to you later."

"Ok. Are you sure?"

"Yes" Lissa reassured tentatively.

"Alright, I don't have to kick any one's ass do I?" Rose asked seriously.

"No, I'm ok" Lissa responded lightheartedly.

"Ok, but do you want to come to this party with me tonight?"

"Yeah, sure. Whose party is it?"

"I dunno, some royal I'm guessing, but who cares. So I'll pick you up at ten?"

"Ok and wear the gray flats."

"Thanks Liss. See you soon!"

"Later Rose!"

Slipping my feet into my gray flats and grabbing my I-pod I walk out and start on my way to Adrian's place.

At Adrian's place I'm sitting on his plush couch watching The Vow and Adrian is playfully twisting my hair around his fingers while kissing my neck down my and back up to my lips and I'm about ready to cave. Now he's biting my earlobe. That did it.

"Adrian, stop it."

"Why?" Adrian asks.

"…I thought you wanted to watch a movie."

"No, that's you wanted. I wanted to take you upstairs and drive you to the point of insanity."

Rose looks at Adrian and gets up and sliding her feet into her shoes. "You know, I'm kinda tired I think I'm going to go home now."

"What now?" Adrian looks at his phone. "It's only 8:00."

"Yeah. I know I'm just too sleepy to hang out all night, but I'll call you."

"Little dhampir…" Adrian gets up a grabs Rose by her wrist and looks her in her eyes with his deep green ones.

Rose looked into his eyes and saw the intensity behind it and how serious he really is about wanting to fuck her. Also she could feel his hard as a rock manhood pressing against her leg begging.

After one second more of looking into each others eyes he picked her up by her ass and carried her upstairs. With her legs wrapped around his waist she kissed his neck, collarbone, and back up to his soft, warm lips. He laid her down on his bed and began kissing her from her lips down to her thighs. As they kissed they tore at each other's clothes off until they were both bare.

"Little dhampir, you always seize to amaze me." Adrian says before swirling his tongue around Rose's left nipple before taking the whole thing into his mouth and nipping at it.

"Ah, Adrian…" Rose gasped while arching her back upwards from the sensation of him sucking on her nipples.

After sucking on her hard, beautiful nipples Adrian moved down to kiss Roses thighs, then moving back up to open them and kiss the inside. Adrian slowly put a finger inside of her wet core and then another and began to pump. Before adding a third finger he began eating her. Making her grip his hair and let out very audible moans.

"Adrian… I need you." Rose moaned out.

With one last pump Adrian sat up and lined himself up with her and pushed in, inch by inch filling her up.

"Fuck…" Adrian moaned once his cock was fully into her.

Adrian started off thrusting really slow, then quickly picked up a fast pace. With every thrust Rose would scream out his name.

"Rose… fuck…"

"Yeeesss Adrian! Keep fucking me!"

"Oh, yeah" Adrian said get faster "That's what you want you want me to fuck little brains out?"

"Yes! Fuck my brains out Adrian. Yes, oh yes!"

With that said Adrian once again pick up his speed once again causing the headboard on his bed to bang on the wall multiple times. Soon Rose felt a tightening in her stomach and she was about to go off the edge.

"Adrian, I'm going to come… Baby make me come!"

"Me too. Fuck… Rose."

A few more hard thrusts and

"Adrian!"

"Rose!"

They both came at the same time.

Pulling out of her Adrian lay beside Rose and kissed her neck and lips using a bit of tongue also.

The both of them just laid there together with Rose's head on Adrian's chest as he played with a strand of her hair.

"Adrian?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you miss us? I mean miss being together… as a couple?" Rose asked tentatively,

"….All the time."

"But… why?"

"Little dhampir… you're like a bad habit I just can't… quit…"

"It's the same here. Just so you know."

Adrian lets out a little chuckle and cups Rose's face and gives her another kiss before Rose starts to get dressed as Adrian goes to shower.

When I'm to my room I'm greeted by an exasperated and bored looking Lissa. She looks like she's been here for a while. I look at the alarm clock and its 9:45. How long has she been here?

"Hey, Liss! When did you get here?" Rose asked surprised.

"Oh, I just got here." Lissa replies. Lie. I can feel it in the bond that she's lying. For what reason I don't know, but will I find out. You bet your ass I will. I figure if I just keep probing she will eventually come out with the truth instead of me directly asking her why she's lying.

"So, what's up, how are you?" Rose say's slipping out of her flats.

"I'm ok. What about you?"

"I'm great actually."

"I see. So I'm guessing you two are back together?"

"I don't know. I'm thinking about becoming a couple again but…" Rose says as she picks out a pair of black jeans to go with her red and black shirt.

"But what?" Lissa asks as she goes to pick out accessories for Rose to wear.

"I just feel… that even if we might not get back together… I can't."

"Can't what?"

"…Can't not want him in my life. I'm going to want to see him. I going to want to spend time with him and… I just can't give that up or give up on him… if he decides that one day he's tired of not whatever this is were doing and wants more. What if I'm not ready to be a couple again? And he just never speaks to me again? What if we do become a couple again and he never spares one glance at me?" Rose says wistfully.

"Rose, I understand what you're going through and I think that even if you don't end up getting back together with Adrian he's not going to abandon you. It may hurt, but he just may be willing to stand by your side as a friend if that's what you want. He cares about you."

"Thank you Liss." Rose says as she gives Lissa a hug.

"No problem, this" Lissa points to her head "Isn't the only bond we've got."

"Well, enough about me and my excessive problems what about you?"

"What about me. Nothing's wrong. Nothing ever changes with my life."

"Yeah right, you and Christian are practically the 'super couple' other couples wish they could be. Plus you're life is awesome. Nothings the same because everyday is something new with you." Rose informs Lissa as she changes clothes.

"Yeah, the royal parties, meetings with Tatiana, and practicing more spirit with Adrian. I guess you can so." Lissa says emptily.

"Liss, what's wrong?"

"Nothing… it's just... Rose have you ever sensed anything weird between me and the boys I've ever dated before."

"No, not really except… that you seemed kind of bored. I just assumed that the guy was boring as a blank wall" Rose picks up her shoes and sits next to Lissa. "Why?"

"I'm just… thinking about what went wrong in my past relationships."

"Ok, but don't get your self down missy. Ok. How do I look?" Rose asks standing up.

"Great, better if you added that black necklace." Lissa advises

"Yeah, and that reminds me" Rose goes over to her drawer and pulls out a purple bracelet. "Here wear this. I got it for you yesterday."

"Thanks Rose!"

"No problem, I figured because you seemed a little down this week I would buy you something to cheer you up."

"Ok. Ready?" Lissa pulls out a camera and pushes her and Roses cheeks together and smiles. "Cheese!"

"Time to party!" Rose and Lissa say elated.
