Dragon Mind

When we got back I walked into father's office. He was behind his wide desk. "Hey da." In private settings I was even more proper than out of them. Que the mental snort.

"You do not just pop in my dear, what do you want?" He said with a laugh. Dimitri came in and sat down in a fur lined oak chair. [ No animals were harmed in the making of this book ;-) ]

"Can Dimitri stay with us please?" I batted my eyelashes for extra love.

"Where will he sleep?"

"I have a feather bed folded in my wardrobe, he can sleep in my room," a choking sound came from behind me, " I have my straw bed, and sure my room is a bit small for two people but he'll fit."

"Dimitri?" He looked at my father. His cheeks were flushed giving way to... to blue? "Your a Fae. Are you okay sleeping in Diana's room?"

"If you are okay with it I don't see why not."

Da smiled at him and shook his head, "You will never blush again after you leave here. She'll have ya scandalized before the week is up." I hit him up side the head. "Ow. Elvin!" My red hair, tan skinned brother ran in.

"What happened? Are we being attacked? Does the king need us?" We all just stared at him for a moment. "Well," he prompted.

"You sister hit me."

A smile played on his lips as he walked up to me, "Is this ture?" I pretended to pout and nodded yes. "What am I going to do with you? Ladies do not hit their fathers."

"I am so sorry big brother. But I am no lady. I am a very bad girl who has never been good."

"Do you know what we do to bad girls?" I shook my head no. " I think you do. I think you like what we do to bad girls. Get her!" Father held my arms bending me over his desk. Elvin smacked my butt causing my to let out a scream. We all smiled then. I wiggled my butt at him, making us all laugh.

A sound came from beside me making us look at Dimitri. I forgot he was there, oh well too late now. Father sat back down and Elvin leaned his hip on the desk next the my hips. I made no move to get up, as I pulled myself on the desk fully, and tucked my arms under my head. Dimitri had something few others ever have the wolfsbane playful side. Compared to us everyone was a prude. The servants had some it but many didn't understand. Touch was important, touch was how we said so many things. But it was rare, wolfsbane members do not just touch, when we're young sure but after a few years touch becomes nothing more than punishment and play. We never touched without a reason.

"Diana do you mind showing me the way to the room, so I can put my things in there."

"Sure," I rolled off the desk into a standing position, "Father please send someone with some cookies."

"I'll do it I'm on my way to the kitchen for a snack anyway." I smiled at Elvin. With a gesture to follow me Dimitri rose from the chair and bid good days to the other men. No man had the right but then I guess he ain't no man anyway. I lead the way to my room.

"You didn't have to do that you know."

"Do what?"

"Bid the good day. We only do that in public or in front of my mother."

"Never anywhere else?"

"Nope, we are family after all why lie. What are you anyway? Never mind we can talk about it when we get to the room."

He did not say anything but I could almost here him thinking behind me. My door was small like me he had to duck to get though it. He looked quickly around the interior. "I know it isn't much but it works for a place to sleep. I'll get your bed out." I went to my wardrobe and opened the double doors. In the bottom was a tightly folded feather bed. It was big for someone my size but that was not unusual for the guard wives. It may be too small for someone as tall as him.
