This has not been edited yet, but I figured that I might as well put it up for those who wanted it. I'll edit it later and update the chapter.

Lissa snuggled closer to Rose and sighed softly. Rose mumbled something and flopped over. "Lissa, are you ok?"

Lissa shook her head. "No. But it's not really something you did. It's more of a me thing."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Rose asked as she sat up.

"I probably should before we go any farther in our relationship," Lissa replied. "Before we start, do you want a hot chocolate or something? I can have Christian bring some down."

Rose shook her head. "No. No distractions. No interruptions. Just conversation."

Lissa sighed. "Ok. Let me finish what I have to say and then we can discuss." Rose nodded. "So... I've been like this ever since I can remember. I've always wanted to have control. In the bedroom, in my life, just everywhere. Christian was actually the one who helped me figure out my kinks and helped me see that I didn't like guys like I liked girls. Well, one girl in particular."

"So I started collecting certain items when we were on the run," Lissa continued. "Like your collar. I had planned to ask you out when we were on the run, but every time I was about to, we had to run again. Once we were taken back to school, I was terrified about coming out to anyone. So I just waited. I waited a lot longer than I wanted to because I was scared. A couple of days ago I finally gave in. So that's the back story."

Lissa glanced at Rose, but Rose's face wasn't betraying any kind of emotion. "So on to my sex life. I want to dominate you in the bedroom. If you let me, I'd like to dominate you outside of the bedroom too. Like a dom and sub relationship. But I don't want to push you too far too fast. I get that now. Earlier when I stormed out, it was because I couldn't understand why you were challenging me. Once again, Christian was the one who helped me understand. It's been hard for me to see you as both my lover and a guardian. So, I want to apologize."

Rose nodded. "Ok...This might take a while for me to process. But, should I be worried that Christian's going to replace me?"

Lissa started to laugh. "No! He's been with someone for a long time."

"But I thought you guys were dating," Rose argued.

"No," Lissa snickered. "He was helping me see both sides of a dom and sub relationship. He's someone else's sub, so he took me to meet with his dom. That's why he's able to calm me down."

Rose leaned closer. "Is it someone in this house? Like one of your other guardians?" Lissa nodded. "Eddie?" Lissa nodded. "Well I hope they make each other happy."

Lissa nodded. "They do. I've seen them apart and it was bad. That's why Eddie usually stays behind at the house."

Rose smiled. "Ok. Moving past that. I can get behind being submissive in the bedroom, but it will definitely be an adjustment to be your submissive in general. I've never really had someone else take care of me. Not in non-life or death situations."

Lissa blinked. "Am I hearing you say yes right now?!"

Rose nodded. "Yes. But there have to be some conditions. If there is ever a time when we are in a life-or-death situation and I need to protect you, you have to let me. I hope nothing like that ever happens, but during those times you're still a Moroi and I'm still a dhampir."

Lissa nodded. "Ok... If it ever comes to something like that, I'll let you. I'm assuming you'll still want to keep your stake right?" Rose nodded. "Ok. Anything else?"

Rose shook her head. "Not right now. If there's ever something else, I'll bring it up."

Lissa leaned forward and kissed Rose gently. "So the first thing that happens is that I put your collar back on." Lissa grabbed it from where it was resting on the dresser. She kissed Rose's neck before she clasped the collar on. "Don't ever take it off, unless I tell you to. It shows that you're mine and if you're ever taken, the tracking device will help me find you."

Rose and Lissa heard a buzz over the intercom. Lissa pushed the talk button. "What is it?"

Christian said, "Well it is getting close to dinnertime and both of you skipped lunch. Do you have a preference on what we have for dinner?"

Lissa replied, "Whatever you feel like is fine. I'll probably bring Rose upstairs later so you two can talk. Is that ok?"

"Sure," Christian replied. "Dinner will be ready in an hour. While I'm doing the dishes we can talk."

Lissa turned to Rose. "So, Pet, wanna play a game?"

"Game?" Rose asked.

Lissa grinned and tugged Rose off the bed. She opened the closet door and took Rose into her hidden room. "The game is how many times I can make you cum before dinner."

TO BE CONTINUED... (because I just realized what time it is and that I work early)
