Years Since Past: Royal Reason

Chapter one

It had been almost five years since Lissa rose to the thrown. Things had changed so much since she became queen, including that fact that she and Christian were now married. She had released a ruling that any moroi who wanted to learn to fight beside the dhampir were able to, they also learned how to fight using their elemental magics: air, fire, earth, water and as we found out a few years ago, spirit. I however am still Lissa's guardian , despite her way of thinking she could defend everyone and herself at the same time, it didn't matter that she was queen, she had enemies everywhere. Enemies that didn't like the changes she was making but it's been a while since any threats were made. It doesn't mean that there won't be anymore and it certainly doesn't mean I'm going to let my guard down for a minute.

Despite my focus, Dimitri manages to take my mind off it as long as he can. He says that no matter what we'll be ready but I'm still getting over the fact that he had once been the very thing I swore to protect the moroi from. A strigoi. He, however has almost completely forgot and acts like nothing ever happened. I don't blame him. The way he acted, the way he treated me when I was his captive? I would want to forget to but I can't. Not after everything that's happened over the last few years. But even with my resolve and focussing as much as I could on Lissa, my mind manages to escape to the happiness he brings me.

His lips brushed my neck and it made me shiver, he moved my hair from the side of my face and over to my shoulder. Dimitri was standing behind me and pulling me close. So close I could feel his body threw his brown loose shirt. Damn it felt good him being there, touching me. We didn't have to hide how we felt anymore and we were allowed to live separate lives from the moroi which was what I had wanted so long ago. Dimitri's hands slid from my shoulders and down to my waist, finally after making me wait, he put his lips to my neck and started working his way down to my collar bone when he turned me around to face him. His brown eyes, the ones I loved so much stared at me with wonder and love and lust and passion. Oh, how I wanted him, needed him to touch me again.
He paused to take me in.
I had been on assignment the last two weeks so I hadn't seen him in a while and this was his way of welcoming me back with open arms and hopefully other things. It had been a while since Dimitri and I had been alone together and he wanted to savour it. We both did.
"Roza," he said finally and launched into a kiss that drove me wild.
I loved him and he loved me but the more time we spent together, the more I thought he was with holding something. It didn't matter. Not in this moment. Now was him and me and nothing would ruin it. Just as I unbuttoned my shirt and began to talk it off there was a knock at the door.
"Damn it!" I exclaimed, "it's my time off. I told them I wasn't to be bothered."
Dimitri and I both sighed and I buttoned my shirt. I went over to the door and looked behind me, Dimitri was flushed, we both were. I was so focused on him that I forgot to let Lissa know I was back. Even before I opened the door, I knew who it was. Lissa. Beautifull, tall, Queen Lizza.
"You said you'd let me know when you came back." She said with hands on her hips.
I coughed and choked on a laugh. She seemed to do this a lot. Always showing up when things were getting steamy with Dimitri. I didn't mind, though sometimes I would have thought if the bond wasn't broken if she could somehow read my thoughts and feelings. No. She wouldn't do this on purpose.
"I was kind of busy Liss." I said hoping I wasn't blushing. I was.
At first she didn't get it. Then she looked from me to Dimitri. His hair was ruffled from where he had stood so close and somehow, without noticing, I'd undone his jeans. He didn't notice either until Lissa scoped him up and down and began to blush herself. He looked down to where I was now playfully looking at and looked embarrassed. Without another word he did up the zipper and left towards the bedroom. I wished he would stay. I wanted him so much, though I wouldn't say that aloud.
