Falling for you

Chapter 9: Training

Chapter 9: Training

(Demetri's POV)

"What's on your mind?" Heidi asked as we lay in her bed.

"Nothing really." I replied moving my hand up and down her back. The truth was that I was thinking about Chloe. I don't know why I'm so curious about her. I got up and quickly dressed while Heidi watched me with curious eyes.

"I have to go train a lower guard member." Heidi watched me leave without saying anything. I tracked Chloe to the castle's main garden. I walked out onto a balcony that over looked the garden and looked around.

"S-Stop Riley." I heard Chloe's voice and looked down. She was lying on the ground while a guy was kneeling next to her; Chloe was squirming and kicking her legs as the guy tickled her.

"Say please." The guy, Riley, teased.

"P-Please." She said between laughs and he stopped. He helped her up and brushed grass out of her hair.

"That was mean," Chloe muttered and Riley laughed. Chloe played with her hair as they talked. She laughed and joked around with him and I wondered if he was the guy she was crushing on. For some reason that thought irritated me and my grip on the tiled railing tightened when the boy ran his fingers through her hair.

"Hay," Riley said, "since we're out her how about I teach you how to fight."

"I'm not a good fighter." She said and he sighed.

"And that concerns me," he said, "I know you're too kind to be a fighter, but you need to learn how to defend yourself."

"I know." Chloe muttered.

"You know," Riley smirked, "if you don't want to learn how to fight you can always become my mate and I can protect you." My teeth clenched together and the stone under my hands cracked. Chloe belong to me.

Since when did that happen? And since when am I possessive?

"Riley!" Chloe smiled and playfully smacked him on the arm, "you're such a flirt!"

"I know." Riley smiled then stepped closer to her. He started to tickle her again and she broke into a fit of giggles. I released my death hold on the railing and lightly jumped down into the garden.

"Am I interrupting something?" I asked walking up to them. They both stopped and looke dat me.

"No." Chloe said fixing her cloths.

"Riley is it?" I said looking at him.

"Yes sir." He replied.

"I need you to patrol the city." I said to get rid of him. He nodded and left me alone with Chloe.

"Time for training." I said and she bit her lip.

(Chloe's POV)

I stood in the small training room facing Demetri. He just stood there smirking and watching my every move.

"Well attack me Chloe." He said and just stared at him.

"How do I do that?" I asked feeling stupid. Suddenly he was in front of me. I took a step back tripping in the process. I fell backwards and landed on my back; Demetri appeared on top of me and he held my wrists level with my head.

"Round one goes to me Chloe," he said, "now tell me something about your childhood."

"I changed my mind," I muttered and he frowned; then his eyes sparkled with an idea. He leaned down to where his chest was lightly pressed to mine. He lightly brushed his lips against the base of my neck then moved up to whisper in my ear.
