"Yes, Belikov?" I answered his call.
"Petrov. I have a request on behalf of the Princess. She wants to go shopping with Tasha Ozera, tonight." And so does Rose, and I can't deny her anything.
"Will you and Rose be on duty?"
"Yes."
"In what configuration?"
"Rose near guarding the Princess. I will be far guard."
"Will Christian also be going?"
"That hadn't been discussed."
"Take him. I will give him another of campus guardians, and the Princess will also need another official guardian."

Ugh. That was asking for a 'Rose may be a Novice, but is more of a Guardian', from him. It was just an excuse to give Tasha a guardian. There was no way Belikov was going to guard her when his Rose was around. Even I knew the older Moroi woman wanted in his pants.

"With all due respect, Petrov," he started.
"No arguments. It's a way to give Lady Ozera a guardian should she wish to separate from the group. Your priority is the Princess after all."
"You know of her feelings?"
"Yes. Don't give her the time of day." Especially since you're with Rose.

Cooping them up for a month had worked. And then some. He'd made her beyond excellent and had given in. They'd most certainly relieved the sexual tension. And were now making sure it stayed that way. I just hoped they didn't let themselves get caught.

"Yes, Petrov."
"I'll have it sorted so you can leave in half an hour."
"Thank you, Petrov."
"Later Belikov." With that we ended the call.

Who to give them? Emil and Yuri. Those two were the most interested in our illicit, yet encouraged, lovebirds. They'd spot and report just how focused on the Princess they could be. Or not. And they'd get a kick out of getting the chance to watch them. They also wouldn't be pissed off at spotting the connection because they already knew it was there, and they certainly wouldn't report to higher up. Far from it, they'd keep it out of our superior's knowledge.

I made the arrangements. As I suspected, they were thrilled at the chance to observe the lethal lovebirds.

I so wanted the pair to know I knew they were involved. But I bit my tongue and worked as hard as they did to cover them, and that I knew. Their synchronicity was insane. They spoke their own language. That was enough of a giveaway. It also made them an ideal pairing to protect the Princess. Problem was, he'd protect His Princess instead of The Princess.

They seriously were too adorable. He'd do anything for her, and she'd do anything for him. They were so in love and made for each other. They didn't have to do anything but stand next to each other and you knew they were a perfect match. They had the same fire in their eyes, the same drive and desire to protect and defend. There was an air about them which just made you want to pair them up. It also made you want to melt. They were perfect together, and perfect for the other.
