It took me a while to realize where I was. The sun was so bright and Adrien was perfect. I hadn't seen him in my dreams since the night before I killed Dimitri. I missed Adrien and Lissa so much.

"Hello, little dhampir" Adrien's eyes sparkled.

"Adrien, what did I tell you about my dreams!"

"I haven't seen you in forever and I need to talk to you about Lissa"

"What about her, is she ok?"

"She's worried about you."

"Wait, wouldn't I know this through our bond if that was true"

"Do you really think she would let you know if she was worried, she'd want you to be happy"

"I guess but why did you tell me this now?"

"I want you to come back, please."

"Umm… Well… Ok"

"Great, meet me at the airport in an hour."

"Wait, how'd you know I was near an airport?"

"You think I was just going to let you go like that?"

*sigh* my dream slowly melted away and my head was filled with darkness. I slowly opened my eyes and crawled out of bed. I picked up my suitcase and tipped out my clothes. I put on a pair of skinny jeans and a tight singlet and brushed my teeth, packed my things up and went downstairs to the front desk. After checking out I walked outside and got into a cab. Arriving at the airport the reality of finding Adrien hit me, this was likely to take forever. Just as that thought passed my mind someone grabbed me from behind. It was Adrien. "Little dhampir, come with me." his breath smelt of hard liquor. Ugh.. How I hated the stuff. We arrived at the terminal just in time to catch our flight. The hostess escorted us to our seats in first class and then left us to be alone. "You didn't have to get us first class seats Adrien." "I know, I would have brought the jet but the queen has it for the weekend so." My eyes slowly became heavy and I dropped into unconsciousness. I woke to the small nudging of my arm, it was Adrien. "Are we here already?" "Yes rose, come on." once we were off the plane and checked out Adrien led me to an elevator near the back of the airport. "What no limo waiting for us Adrien?" "No I decided I would take you for a spin in a 911 turbo today." when we arrived in the dimly lit underground car park Adrien led me to a black Porsche 911 turbo and I slid into the passenger seat. Curiosity took over my mind, "How long until we arrive at the palace?" Adrien's smile crept across his lips "Well, two days actually but I got us a hotel room so we'll drive there tomorrow." My jaw dropped and my cheeks flushed with anger. "ADRIEN!" My ranting was interrupted by the huge hotel in front of us. Adrien walked us through the lobby and into a fancy looking elevator. When the elevator stopped we were on the top floor of the hotel. Not surprising really. Adrien stopped at the end of the corridor swiped a card and the door opened. 'Help yourself to the food in the fridge Rose." Thanks Adrien, aren't you hungry?" "Nah, unless you're offering for me to bite your neck cause if you are then I'm hungry." "No that's not what I meant and is there a secret door in this room that leads to my bedroom?" Adrien's smile turned into a giant grin that showed off his fangs. Everything clicked together in my head and I realized what had brought on the grin. "No, No way Adrien!" "Come on, it's the safest way." "I guess now I think about it but if you touch me my hands will be around your neck I swear." "Well I do believe having your hands around my neck could help when we're making out." I slapped Adrien's arm and went to sit on the couch. "I'm going to go have a sleep, come join me anytime you feel like." And with that Adrien walked into the bedroom and dropped onto the bed. Sitting on the couch I started to remember the night I killed Dimitri.

FLASHBACK

Dimitri's eyes were red and evil, I wanted so bad for him to be my Dimitri and not a strigio but unfortunately he could never be mine again and we both knew it. Surprisingly when I'd shown up to kill Dimitri he had said that it was good I was there and that he wanted to die. The last words out of Dimitri's mouth before I stabbed his heart with a stake were, I love you. Give Adrien a chance and be happy.

Back to reality

Maybe I should listen to Dimitri and at least have a little bit of happiness back in my life. I dragged myself off the couch and walked into the bedroom. Adrien was awake and smiling. "I knew you'd decide correctly Rose." Adrien sat up in the bed just as I slid onto it. I knelt toward him and he traced his fingers over my cheek and our eyes met. That was it we kissed each other passionately and I lay down on top of him. He rolled over so that he was above me and ran his hand down my waist. His hand continued down my leg and stopped in the groove behind my knee he then hooked my knee up to his waist and my leg rapped around him. Our bodies intertwined and he kissed my neck. When I awoke it was nearly lunchtime according to the alarm clock on the bedside table. My head lay on Adrien's chest and for the first time in almost a year I felt whole. I slid out of the bed and slipped my jeans on not bothering with a top seeming I was wearing a bra. I went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of orange juice out. Cold hands wrapped around my waist and soft lips caressed my neck before kissing it. "Morning beautiful" I turned around to see Adrien's handsome face looking at me. "The queen's

going to kill me" I admitted "For what?" "For being with you, for last night, for everything." "She can never stop us from being in love or making love and I am her favorite nephew so why would she when she sees how happy I am?" Adrien kissed me before I could answer. The road trip back to the castle was going to take hours but now that I had discovered my love for Adrien I certainly wouldn't be hell.
