Vacation on Isle Esme

Chapter Five

Alyssa woke up in Demetri's arms "Morning cara, sleep well?" "Mmm. Did you?" "I did" He answered playing along "When I hold you in my arms at night listening to your steady heartbeat I feel so relaxed and if I close my eyes it's almost like I'm sleeping" He kisses her forehead "Can I ask you a question Dem?" "Of course, you can ask me anything" He replied softy "How come you never mentioned before that you had a Mr Grey thing going on?" "It's not something you tell people when you first meet them nor is it first date conversation cara" He answered holding her closer "I wanted to tell you sooner but I didn't know if you'd like that kinda of thing, being that you hadn't been with anyone before. However, after we started reading the 50 Shades of Grey books and you seemed to like them I figured I'd bring the subject up" "I'm glad you did and that you trusted me...wanted to share that part of your life with me" She rested a hand on his cheek "I've never shared that part of my life with anyone before Ally" He rested his forehead against hers "Really? But you've had lovers over the years" He chuckled "Yes, but only a few and to be honest it's only over the last few decades that I've taken an interest in that stuff but I didn't want to explore that with anyone... but my mate" She kissed him and ran her fingers through his hair "Thank you cara mia for trusting me enough to want to explore that with me; you know that you'll always be safe with me" He kissed her back "I've always felt safe with you and I enjoyed the other night with you. I also enjoyed the striptease you did for me last night" She winked and smiled at him lovingly "I love you Demi" She kissed him "I'll bear that in mind for the future and I love you too Ally" He kissed her holding her closer.

Alyssa took a walk to the main library whilst Demetri was on Guard Duty passing some of the lower guards along the way "Ally" They greeted and nodded at her "Hello" She replied curious how they knew who she is. She heard a commotion and stopped only for a blonde haired Guard dressed in light grey to land near her feet "Sorry Ally" He smiled at her before running back towards a dark haired Guard dressed in the same colour clothes, their 'fight' continuing once Ally passed them. Ally arrived at the main library to find Alec and Santiago already there "Good morning Ally" "Morning Santiago, Alec" Ally replied taking a seat opposite them "Fancy playing a game tonight?" Santiago asked "As long as Heidi isn't playing, don't really want the drama" Ally replied "We're going to play some card games; Old Maid and Go Fish..." Ally started to laugh "Don't laugh Ally Felix chose the games as there's no money involved and no Heidi won't be playing; just us three plus Demetri, Felix and Jane" Santiago responded "Sounds good and I'm in" Ally said smiling.

Later that night they all gathered in Felix's room and sat down to play cards. They played Old Maid first and the first game was won by Alec, the second by Jane; Ally won the next three games "Oh my god. Is there any game you're not good at Ally?" Felix asked "Sorry BFV but this human can't help being awesome" Ally sings the last word smiling; Demetri has a smug look on his face watching his friends get beat by Ally. Ally went on to win 4 out the 7 rounds of Go Fish before Felix decided he didn't want to play cards with Ally anymore that night "You being a sore loser Fe?" Demetri teased as Felix left the room. "Get lost D" Felix mumbled.

Once back in their room Alyssa and Demetri got ready for bed "Hey Dem, can I tell you a secret?" "Of course you can" "Ok, so you know how I'm a shield like Bella because psychic gifts don't work on me?" Yes Ally, please don't remind me that I can't track you" Demetri said quietly "Well there's a reason I'm so good at Poker and other card games..." "What you count cards or something" Demetri interrupted chuckling "Or something...I'm able to read minds a bit too in a way..." Demetri's mouth fell open in shock "Don't worry Dem I'm not like Edward, I respect people's privacy" She continued "Yeah you just use your gift when playing games...babe that could be seen as cheating" He whispered the last word before laughing; Ally shrugged "Think of it more as looking through their eyes; I get to see what they see. Oh and I discovered I can drop my shield at will..." He cut her off "Hang on. You're telling me I can track you...if you let me?" "I love you" She said taking her bottom lip between her teeth and looking up at Demetri through her lashes; he stepped forward lifting her up and put her over his shoulder.
