-Mello-

I smirked as Matt walked out of the bathroom.

"I could hear you, you know."

He froze, and I could see his ears turn red.

"No need to be embarrassed."

"…"

I simply chuckled and kissed along his neck. His breath caught and he shivered, both from the cool air and the touch. His skin prickled and I ghosted my fingers down his arm. I had just reached where his towel was wrapped around him before he jerked away, face hot. Matt retreated to the safety of his room, shutting the door firmly. I smirked at the distinct lack of the "click" of the lock.

Deciding to leave him be for the moment I returned to my laptop, determined to figure out just who was threatening my (sexy) charge. My computer chimed as I received an email. I read over the document hoping its contents were wrong. If they were true we were screwed. As it came from Beyond, a friend and the security detail of the supposed mastermind behind the attacks I wouldn't doubt is validity. Proving it was true before coming forward however was crucial. I sent Beyond a thanks and asked him to keep looking. Why could things never be simple?

That night I broke out the booze with dinner. I was stressed, he was worried. It just worked. However while I quit on my second glass Matt kept going.

"Whoa, that's enough. I am not taking care of your hung over ass."

"No! Give it back!" I ignored him continuing to leave taking the bottle to my liquor cabinet. I wasn't surprised when he followed me grabbing for the bottle, what did surprise me, however was when I was pulled to face him and pressed against the wall, being kissed roughly. Well look who grew a backbone. Never one to be the bitch I flipped us, shoving him against the wall, smirking into the kiss as he groaned. He groped at my clothes, and I let him pull what little I was wearing off. As I undressed him I saw a flicker of something in his eyes, but I ignored it choosing to instead pick him up and dump him on my bed. He hadn't said no yet so I had no plans on stopping until I heard "Mello, stop." Everything was rough and needy. Hands didn't touch, they grabbed. I kissed, bit and sucked my way along his body groping for the lube I knew was on my bedside. Dragging my teeth along his hipbone I pressed a slick finger inside delighted when he simply groaned at the intrusion. Preparation was hasty. Before he could complain (or say no) I pressed into him. I loved his face, drawn in half pleasure half pain, and the noises… I gave him no chance to adjust, I slammed into him, biting and kissing his neck, movements quick and rough. Matt cried out, dragging his nails down my back, pulling a groan from me. With no coaxing he wrapped his legs around me moving against me. I angled my hips and his eyes rolled back as Matt gave a low moan. Found it. Matt finished quickly after that and I couldn't help but follow. I lay panting on his chest as my heart slowed. Pushing myself up on my arms I moved to kiss him and see if he wanted another go. Fucker had already passed out.

With a sigh I pulled the blankets around us wrapping an arm around my previous virgin as he curled close in his sleep. Feeling his heartbeat against my chest I fell asleep.

I woke feeling squirming in my arms. Cracking open an eye I saw red hair and green eyes.

"What." I might have been a bit gruff, but he woke me up dammit. I found myself more awake as a blush covered Matt's face and something hard was pressed against my thigh. OH. I could get used to this. With a smirk I rolled on top of him and without hesitation his arms went around my neck and legs fell open. I could get very used to this.

Much to my dismay however he ignored me when we were not in bed. He played his games went about his day, we continued to argue (a lot), but every night he was in my bed. No complaints there.

We had just finished one of our nightly adventures, his stamina has increased tenfold let me say, and were kissing heatedly working up to round two when my phone rang.

"What."

Matt continued to kiss at my neck, I choked back a groan as he bit down.

"…..Right now?...eight tomorrow…..got it…."

I trembled feeling his hand stroking me slowly.

"Yeah….Black tie. Got it….." I hung up abruptly.

"Now where were we?"

"I think I know…." Matt smirked kissing the mark he had left on my neck. I groaned, the pass week has turned the geeky prince into quite the nympho.

It wasn't until the next morning I remembered the phone call. "Matt."

"Yeah?"

"Princess Anna came into town to wish your father a speedy recovery. You're expected to be at the ball. Security is going to be tight and I'll be by your side all night. Get ready. We have to leave at seven."

"…" Oh the look he gave me. I just sighed going to get into my own suit.

I got us out in one piece, and we were standing next to the chair where his father sat. I was probably a bit closer than normal for a bodyguard, but whatever. No one seemed to notice. We had been there an hour maybe (with Matt downing more champagne than necessary) when a petite girl in a blue gown walked over. She was pale, with her mousy brown hair in curls, a small glittering tiara in her hair. Obviously Princess Anna, she was no beauty, but she wasn't ugly either. Just dreadfully average. Long live the average Queen and Reluctant King. Hoorah. Matt looked about as excited to see her as I was. He gave a long suffering sigh asking her to dance. She blushed prettily before agreeing.

I stood on the edge of the dance floor watching as they waltzed. What I didn't expect was at the end of the dance was for her to give *my* Matt a shy kiss.

Nor did I expect the sharp pain I felt when he kissed back.
