I just got done with finals! So sorry it has taken longer than usual to update. Thanks for the awesome reviews; I love to hear what you guys think about my story. Well, here is the latest chapter.

Caspian's hands gently rubbed up and down Adalina's bare sides. Adalina lay on her back, basking in the afterglow of another round of mind blowing sex. Caspian hovered over her, eyes sweeping her body in sync with his hands. A smile slowly appeared on his face; Adalina couldn't help but mimic his action. She could stay like this forever she thought. It felt so good to be with somebody, just a warm body to lie next to at night. Caspian had always been there for her, but it was in a different way, now he was so much more. He comforted her with just his presence. She had thought about it many times: when did it change? It had been on her mind for the past couple of days, but she just couldn't seem to pinpoint it. She supposed it just evolved, maybe it was just the only way for their relationship to go, they had known each other all of their lives, how far can friendship go without getting sexual?

Adalina's smiled turned into a giggle as Caspian's hands brushed over a sensitive spot on her abdomen. Caspian raised an eyebrow and mischievously rubbed the spot again. She wiggled away trying to hide her growing laughter. Caspian was persistent though; his hands kept searching for that spot, digging under her turned body. She continued to try to get away from him, her laughs in full volume now, but Caspian had tackled her, and she was unable to escape. Adalina's muscles had gone limp from the sensations and she was defenseless against him. She gave up fighting him off and let the laughter flood her lungs. Caspian too was now laughing along with her, his fingers slowing their motions. The smiles on their faces reached their ears. Eyes locking for a moment, looking deeply into each other, Caspian leaned down letting her feel his breath on her lips for an instant before capturing her lips.

Caspian began to deepen the kiss, pushing her lips apart, invading her mouth with his tongue. Adalina's body began to shake lightly. Suddenly the warmth of Caspian's body above hers has gone and she could feel a cold crisp breeze sweep across her exposed collar. She knew what was happening, but she refused to let the dream slip away. The shaking got harder though and she was forced from her slumber.

Opening her eyes she found Susan and Edmund staring back at her. Susan was bent down next to her with her hand on her shoulder, Edmund stood close by looking a bit impatient.

"Finally! We need to go, Lucy ran off and Peter went to find her. We need to catch up with them and make sure they are alright." Susan sounded rushed; she pulled Adalina up from the ground with her and briskly led the way. Edmund fell behind her and Trumpkin held up the end of the line.

"Have a good dream?" Edmund's question cut through the silence, Adalina was a bit relieved by that, but also caught off guard.

"Huh?"

"You were laughing in your sleep. I assume it was a pleasant dream?"

Adalina thought back to her dream, well it was more like a memory she realized.

"Adalina?" Edmund shook his hand in front of her face, catching her attention again.

"Oh, sorry. Yes, it was a pleasant dream." She responded with a big smile. Edmund smiled back.

"Hurry up! I hear fighting!" Susan called back, beginning to run. Edmund and I took her cue and started to run as well, Trumpkin following close behind.

They were fast, she had to admit, but being a natural born competitor Adalina pushed herself to keep up. Focusing on how fast she was going and not where she was stepping, she caught her foot on a root that was raised from the ground. She immediately lost balance and toppled over, hitting the ground with a thud. Edmund and Susan were far ahead now, Trumpkin slowed down as if to see if she needed help, a surprising action to Adalina, but she waved him ahead signaling she was fine. Brushing herself off, she got back up on her feet. Taking it a little slower this time, she hurried to the Pevensie's. As she got closer she began to hear voices, one in particular caught her attention.

As she came around the corner, behind Susan and Edmund she froze seeing him stand there with his sword drawn, blood leaking from his lip, slightly out of breath, she swore she had never seen him look so god damned sexy.

"… You're just not exactly what I expected." Caspian's head moved, catching sight of Adalina he paused, a surprised, yet pleased look on his face. He smirked, wrinkling his eyebrows together, silently asking her: what the heck are you doing here?

Adalina smiled back delighted to see his face again. She shrugged her shoulders at his curiosity, replying: I don't know, just couldn't resist .No words were necessary she knew he understood. Now she just wanted to run up and hug him, but she was suddenly aware of how many people where surrounding them. Taking a better look she realized it wasn't people, it was Narnians, Narnian soldiers.

Adalina just took it in, not paying attention to what anyone was saying – as usual. Surprised when a small mouse with a red feather perched on his head and a tiny sword in his hands popped out of the bushes. He came out waving the sword all over the place only to settle down at the sight of the youngest queen.

And then Peter cut in again, taking over like usual, making some comment about swordsmanship, which seemed to displease Caspian.

"Yes indeed, and I have recently put it to good use supplying weapons for your army sire." The mouse carried on.

Wait, ARMY! Adalina knew that Miraz would come after Caspian and definitely the Narnians now that he had obviously found out about them, but when had a WAR began? Man, I REALLY need to start listening to what they are saying!

"Good, because we're going to need every sword we can get." Peter turned around once more, facing Caspian.

"Well then, you will probably be wanting yours back." That comment seemed to satisfy Caspian. As Peter sheathed his sword the large group began to head out. Adalina took the opportunity and snuck up next to Caspian.

"Hey you, miss me? I can see you haven't been too busy the last couple of days." Adalina could see it in his face that he wanted to embrace her then too, but she knew he was holding back for the same reasons she was. They were never public with their relationship, she didn't know if it was ok now or not.

"Oh no, just winning over an entire race and building an army, nothing too challenging." Caspian ignored her first question, not wanting to think about how long he had not been able to hold her close to him.

"Why did you do it?" Twisting the mood to be a bit more serious. Adalina hadn't known she had had that question, but she really did want to know.

Caspian gave her a curious look. "Do what?"

"Help the Narnians, start an army, call the Kings and Queens of Old?"

"Well, it didn't exactly happen in that order. Calling the Kings and Queens of Old was to help myself; I didn't really know what I was doing when I did it either. The Narnians helped me and I couldn't let them get hunted down and exterminated by Miraz again. I want to give them their land back, it belongs to them, and I just want to do what is right."

"I admire that about you. You seem to have a level of morality that a lot of Telmarines lack. Anyone else in your position would have just kept running, not bothering to look back and help who got hurt in the process."

"That's not true. I know at least one Telmarine who would have done the same." Caspian glanced to the side catching her eyes with his. It sent shivers down her spine to have Caspian look at her like that.

"Well I suppose the professor probably would have, but he isn't really in the shape for it, plus I am not sure exactly how Telmarine he really is and he has always had an obsession with Narnians so he doesn't really count." Adalina tried to lighten the mood again, cracking jokes at the professor usually worked.

Caspian let a small smile form on his lips, shaking his head gently. "That's not who I meant." He said in a low voice, keeping his eyes looking in front of him.

"I know." Adalina almost whispered, letting the conversation disintegrate.

Caspian gave her left shoulder a light squeeze, his fingers lingering only slightly, before he headed to the front of the line to talk to Peter. Adalina walked by herself for a few seconds before Susan and Edmund caught up to her.

"You know, you never really told us lot about Caspian. I mean you did live in the same castle, right? So you know him pretty well?"Edmund began.

"I didn't really know if I should have brought it up earlier, but yes, I do know Caspian pretty well. I have known him all of my life actually, we're very close." Adalina still wasn't sure of how much she could say about Caspian and her relationship. Even around all of these new people who probably had no interest in her and Caspian's personal lives, she just didn't feel comfortable saying too much, like she would reveal a deep secret if she did.

"Well if you had shared this earlier I might not have been so caught off guard by how attractive he is." Susan cut in for the first time. The comment surprised Adalina; she didn't think Susan would have voiced such a thought. Never the less, Adalina couldn't help but smile at it.

"I don't think I want to be here for this conversation." Edmund gave a small wave as he caught up to the other men.

Adalina let out a little laugh. "He certainly is entertaining."

"Yes, he definitely isn't like Peter. I think he enjoys being a kid." Susan had such a relaxing voice, Adalina knew she would probably be talking with her a lot in the near future.

"Ugh, Peter, what a mood killer. He is so serious all of the time, doesn't he know how to play around at all?"

"He used to. After we left Narnia he just wanted to be treated like an adult again, he has had an especially hard time adapting again, but I don't think that is the only reason for it now." Susan glanced at Adalina from the side quickly, seeming to hint at something, but Adalina had no idea what it could be.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I think he wants to impress somebody." still a tint of hinting in her voice.

"Well, who?" Adalina was done going around it, she was curious.

"You! You can't tell me you're that oblivious!?" she really seemed a little shocked that Adalina hadn't guessed by now.

"What! How do you figure that? I haven't noticed it." then again Adalina was pretty oblivious, she couldn't even tell you what had been going on the past couple of days; her mind seems to get distracted easily.

"Well the bossy stuff for instance. He is normally like that, but especially when he wants to impress someone. You know be in charge and take the lead so that he gets noticed. Plus, he looks at you every time he makes a demand; like he is trying to see if you saw how 'manly' he was being or something." Susan said so easily, like she knew exactly how her brother worked, which Adalina didn't doubt she did.

"He looks at me?" Adalina didn't really know if she liked that attention from Peter, she honestly didn't think too much of him. Not that she didn't like a man in charge, but the way Peter did it just didn't turn her on the Caspian did.

Susan just laughed at her response. Adalina couldn't keep the disgusted look on her face for much longer, Susan's laugher made her want to laugh too, so she did.

"Can I tell you something?" Her laugher had subsided and she suddenly felt like she could open up to Susan, she felt like she could trust her.

"Of course"

"It is strange, I have only known you a couple of days, but I just feel like I can tell you stuff, you know?" Adalina felt like she should explain herself before she went any further, just so she didn't confuse the girl. Susan just smiled and nodded in response giving her the signal to continue.

"Well, here is another thing I thought I shouldn't tell you at first, so if we could keep it between us that would be great?" waiting to go ahead until Susan nodded in agreement "It's about Caspian. You see it's not that I wouldn't have noticed Peter's subtle hints of affection normally, but my mind is really only in one place these days."

"And where is that?" Susan added, showing her interest.

"Caspian. My mind is constantly on Caspian. And it's not what you think, 'a girl with a silly crush', Caspian and I have a very intimate relationship and being without him these past few days has just made me think about that relationship more than usual." Adalina's voice was hushed, her head leaning over closely to Susan's.

Leaning in just as closely, Susan scrunched her face up in curiosity. "How intimate do you mean?"

"Sex" she whispered with the "duh!" tone in her voice.

Susan's eyes went wide, she stared at Adalina for a moment as if waiting for clarification because she had heard her wrong, then it really hit her that she had indeed heard her right and she glanced up at Caspian and then back at Adalina, mouth going agape.

"How scandalous!" she exclaimed before bursting into laugher, Adalina following.

They continued laughing for a while before relaxing, falling into a brief silence.

"Now you can't just leave me hanging. What's it like?" Susan began again, a very excited and curious look on her face.

"Amazing"

"I imagine it would be! Look at that man! Tall, dark, handsome and a prince! Not to mention I can definitely tell he is in shape."

"Oh, he certainly takes care of himself! Not just the body either, he has incredible stamina."

"I don't blame you a bit for not noticing Peter, if I had someone like that to think about I wouldn't notice anything." The two girls giggled to each other the rest of the walk, eventually getting of that particular subject.

Once they reached the How, Adalina rejoined Caspian, watching as the four siblings walked with regal stature in front of them.
