The Dragon Prince

King Zayne's Investigation

I woke up with Vincent's hand wrapped around me and my face buried in his bare chest. I traced my finger down his chiseled body, which was rock hard but soft to sleep on. My face turned bright red when I saw he was awake and loving my touch. "Please move your finger a little bit lower, baby girl," Vincent moaned.

"I'm sorry! I thought you were asleep, what time is it?" I panicked.

"It's around eleven o'clock," Vincent looked at his phone.

"We're misssing school!?" I started to get out of my bed. Vincent then pulled me back into his arms.

"It's Friday; we are taking an extra long weekend," Vincent brushed the hair out of my face. "Are you doing better? Do you want to talk about what happened during class?"

"No, not now," I shook my head.

Even though it was almost noon, I was exhausted. I didn't even know when I had fallen asleep last night. "You didn't have to sleep here you know," I giggled.

"I didn't want to leave you. Besides, your head was on my chest, and I didn't want to wake you. I also want to apologize for the way I acted yesterday. I tried to keep you safe, I can't explain it, but I can't bear the thought of another man being in your life when I fully know that we are mated for life; I hold your mark. Mix that with jealousy and you get the man from yesterday," Vincent said.

"You're not mad?" I asked him.

"Never!" Vincent smiled.

I again buried myself in Vincent's chest, loving how warm and safe he was in his arms. I suddenly looked at my clothing. "How am I in my night chothes?" I said.

"Your clothes were wet, so I helped you change," Vincent explained.

"How do I not remember that?" I said, embarrassed.

"You were crying for hours, exhausted and barely conscious," Vincent said.

I can't believe he saw me in my underwear. "Thank you for being here, Vincent. I'm going to forget the fact that you almost saw me naked, but you stayed while I tried pushing you away," I embraced him.

"I will always be here for you," Vincent kissed my head.

Without meaning to, I fell asleep again, cuddling with Vincent.

"I will always keep you safe, you are mine!" Vincent said lovingly. "I will never let anything bad happen to you,"

(Sometime Later)

"Did I fall asleep again?" I said as I raised my head to meet Vincent's gaze.

"You did," Vincent caressed my face. "Come one, we've been in bed for almost the whole day,"

"No, let's stay here," I cuddle up to him and look into his eyes. I stop above his pants and look at him playfully. With one hand, I slowly slide my hand down his chest. I planted a small kiss on his lips, and I could feel his sense as my hand reached his belly. I kiss him again, and I let the kiss linger longer. Then I place my hands on his side and push him out of the bed in one swift motion. "Time to get up," I laughed.

"What was that for?" Vincent groaned.

"I wanted to be a tease," I laughed again.

Before I could stand up, Vincent jumped back into my bed and grabbed me. His hand was on each side of my head and sat on top of me, preventing me from escaping. He lowered his head closer to mine. I could feel his breath on my lips as my face turned red. He brushed his lips over mine, but he didn't kiss me. I could barely breathe, and judging by Vincent's smirk, he knew the effect he had on me. "I can play too, my love," Vincent whispered. He gently kisses my forehead, and then, in one swift motion, he is out of bed. Damn it, he got me back.
