Slowly waking up I felt Dimitris absence from around my waist and opened my eyes to reach over and see if he was still in the bed.
"I'm right here." I heard him say from across the room where he was sitting in a black velvety looking lounge chair.
Clearing my throat I laughed lightly. "I thought I said no creepy staring while I was sleeping."
Getting up from his chair he walked over and sat next to me on the bed. "My apologies, my love, but I just couldn't help myself you are even more beautiful when you are sleeping. If that was even possible."
He leaned down and placed a light kiss on my forehead and then more firmly he kissed me on my lips. "Mmm." Was all I could muster.
"Would you like me to draw you a bath?" he asked.
Realizing that I didn't get to clean up yesterday and still feeling that dull ache between my legs I thought now was a great time for a soak in the tub.
"You don't have to do that."
"I want to. Just giv
Waking up wrapped up in anothers arms is one of the best feelings in the world.I don't think either of us planned on falling asleep, but I suppose we wore each other out. I can't complain. Who could. No one in there right mind would.Again I say I have no regrets on it being Dimitri and although I wish I did know the whole story with Viktor and I do feel bad about that whole situation. I couldn't bring myself to let that hold me back from what I feel was right. Dimitri always felt right and any time that was influenced was due to Aimee andd Viktor telling me otherwise. All the while they were proving themselves untrustworthy and not at all forthcoming. Especially for people who stated they had the best of intentions.Wonder if I will ever see them again? Who am I kidding, I know I will. The question is when will I see them again.There's a lot at play and is it possible they could come here? I'm assuming yes. But will they. And then once I get to go back
After freshening up I made my way back into Dimitris bedroom to find he wasn't there. Exiting the room and entering the hall I find myself still marvelling over how beautiful this place was. Everything in its place and everything having the same color scheme to match Dimitris wings. I suppose that's all due to him being the King here. Which is another thing I find myself amazed over. Not just the fact that he is a King, but the fact that he wants me when he could have anyone he wishes. Atleast I would suppose so.Looking down over the banister and pulling quickly back. It was a straight drop down to the bottom floor. This place was definitely meant for someone with wings. I guess that's an easy way to transport if you had the means, but I don't as of yet and that's one hell of a lot of stairs to get down to the bottom. Assuming Dimitri is even down there and if he isn't I sure as hell won't be walking back up to his room.Trying to decide whether or not I want to stay
My heart was still tight in my chest and I could feel the tears as they were drying on my face, but I couldn't think about that dream now. I had to think of Dimitri and what has happened. "What happened, Dimitri?" He stood and pulled me up to my feet. "All in due time, love. You aren't safe here right now. We need to go." Figuring now wasn't the time to start asking the barrade of questions that are pounding through my head. Besides it was then that I noticed that we weren't alone. Dimitri stood at the entrance of the knoll and I seen others behind him. Their wings making slight fluttering movements and their eyes searching the sky like they were waiting for it to fall down on them. The looks on all their faces fueled the fire of concern I had. Dimitri, clinging to my hand he lead me outside and I was completely taken aback by the sight in front of me. The sky was a dark smokey gray as opposed to the bright colors it was just earlier and that wasn't the worst part. The town off in
I think my expectations where a little too high when I expected the bath to wash away the stress. If anything while I was in there I stressed more. My mind is a muddled mess and to be completely honest I'm scared. This day started off magical. A fairy tale come true. But in no time things changed so drastically and became dangerous. I should be able to handle my own. I needed to be able to help these faeries. This is all because of my father and his minions. They want me and because I don't now how to defend myself and have no clue as to what is completely expected of me I am failing. And let me tell you I hate to fail. Makes me feel weak and I hate that.But my minds a mess and my body is in knots. What can I do? Needing answers and needing Dimitri...I slowly made my way across the dark room to the bed covered in blue velvet bedding. I curl up into a ball and for the first time I truly let it all out. I cry until I can't cry anymore. Drained dry. Despite the ache in my body and m
We stayed there for the longest time talking and he settled my nerves by reassuring me about this new ability and about what may be to come. There wasn't much else we could do at this point but wait. Plan. And educate. Because lets face it, there's a lot I still need to learn. My wings for example. Obviously there is a lot I don't know, but thats okay. Dimitri said I won't be alone in this and he will remain by my side every step of the way. Which is comforting. "So my love, first order of business is you learning to 'pop' out your wings. Think you feel up to that today?" There wasn't a doubt in my mind. "Yes! I need to learn as soon as possible. So let's go!" Jumping up from the bed and ready to go. Dimitri chuckles. "Is my little princess eager to fly?" "Umm, no. I'm scared of flying. But I'm more scared of dying and I need to do this to protect myself and everyone that matters." Standing up and walking towards me with a serious look on his face. "Brenna, I understand your fe
Still basking in our afterglow there was a knock at the door. Dimitri swiftly placed a kiss on the crown of my head and jumped out of bed. Pulling his pants up just before he opened the door. Where there stood Theo and the man from yesterday named Braxton. "What's going on?" Dimitri asked. I can see the tension that suddenly took place in this back. We both know this can't be good. Braxton stepped forward and answered. "There has been a development and we need you to come with us to the throne room to discuss our procedings." "Of course." Dimitri replied. Turning back to me he said. "Are you okay with me leaving you, love?" Nope. Nope, I was not. But I guess I really don't have a choice. Seems like I don't have much of a choice about anything anymore, honestly. "Yeah. Go ahead." I answer, but for some reason it hurt to even say it. Pulling the covers up over me to hide the fear I begin to feel. At that very moment a memory hits me. Back in Jersey not incredibly long after I
Taking Dimitris hand he walks me to the door and proceeds to take me to the courtyard we arrived in earlier."What are we doing? I thought we were going to discuss some things?""We are. Right after we get your wings to 'pop' out?""Ummm, I'm sorry, but I assumed our discussion would have to come first due to the fact that my life kida depends on it. Right?"Pulling me into his arms looking down at me with those beautiful amber eyes. "It does, but once this decision is made then I can only assume one of two things. One, the fairies back off for the time being while they switch their plans up. Or two, they get increasingly angier and come at us full force. That being said before anything is done....and darling we will deal with that. We need to ensure you can atleast pull on your magic and fly. This is crucial if and when another attack occurs."Made sense. I can only assume that if any tie is broken with Viktor, and father loses at ensuring his thr
Allowing myself to sink into the hot bath and hope it washes away the feeling I have deep in the pit of my stomach. Somewhere deep down inside I knew that my dream was real. I was seeing it without being there and I don't know how I just know that it was real. And if it wasn't...it was disturbing. I'm going to have to somehow reach out to Rhonda just to be safe and to ease my mind. Lathering up and rinsing quickly I decided that I needed to get to someone and find out if there is a way to contact the outside world. As I was wrapping up into an emerald green towel that was set off to the side for me. Dimitri opens the door to the bathroom. "Looks like I missed it." he said as he walked over to me with that familiar glint in his eyes. He walked like a lion on the prowl and I was the prey. I could be shy. I could feel vulnerable. But all I felt was empowerment. This man made me feel things for someone that I never really felt I would be able to feel. He may have knew me my whole li
