Moving Objects

Chapter 12

"Surprised?"

"I'm surprised that he dances," I joked as we walked back in. Eddie chuckled and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"I did promise him that i'd let him have a dance. After all, he is your boyfriend," Eddie said. I snorted and rolled my eyes at him. But i was greatful for the few minutes alone I got with DImitri. I spotted Lissa and Christian quickly and Eddie suggested we join them. The music was more upbeat and the dance moves Lissa was executing had me doubled over laughing. She may be a princess, but when she wants to be, she just as much a regular girl as I am.

Eventually, Lissa and I both kicked our shoes off and sat down at the table again, leaning against one another with our heads resting together.

"Did you think we'd be back here?" Lissa asked. I yawned and cleared my throat.

"No, I never thought we would be coming back to the academy. I never thought we'd be going to prom either."

Lissa chuckles and runs her fingers through her hair. She was quiet for a few moments before blowing out a puff of hair. The even was starting to come to an end and I let my eyes wander around the room before coming to rest on Dimitri standing at the end of the hall, speaking to a dark haired woman in a very pretty silver dress.

"Did you know Tasha was chaperoning?"

"Yes," Lissa said, "Why do you think Christian and I are still here? We couldn't sneak off until it was a respectable time or she'd ask questions."

I snorted a laugh. She wasn't wrong there, but I appreciated her staying as long as she did. Despite not thinking I was going to enjoy myself, I had a lot of fun. I noticed Dimitri stepping away from Tasha and heading towards us. I smiled at him and reached up to play with the chain around my neck. I noticed earlier that Dimitri's eyes went right to it and I was happy to see the flicker of happiness in his eyes when he saw it. A small, private token of his affection.

"Are you heading out soon?" Dimitri asked us. Lissa and I both nodded as Christian and Eddie appeared. We both stood up and smiled at our respective dates.

"Yes, I believe we are," I said. Dimitri nodded and put his arm up to let us go first. Lissa and Christian walked a few steps ahead while Eddie, Dimitri and I walked a few steps behind. We stopped at Lissa's room first before heading towards the Novice dorms. I wasn't surprised that Christian was staying the night with her, but I was a little jealous. If I could stay with Dimitri tonight I would.

Eddie's room was before mine so we went there first. Eddie gave me a tight hug before saying goodnight and Dimitri and I headed to my dorm.

"Did you have fun tonight?" Dimitri asked.

I nodded my head while smiling at him. "Yes, I did. It was fun and I had a good time with Eddie. And I really enjoyed being able to dance with you," I said quietly as I reached the end of my sentence. I really did enjoy dancing with him. Dimitri used his key and unlocked my door, letting me in before following.

I pursed my lips when he locked the door behind him, but the pursed look split into a smirk as he stepped closer to me, slipping his hands around my waist. I stretched up on my toes and looped my arms around his neck to balance myself.

He didn't kiss me right away, just rested his head against mine as he bowed me back before pulling us up straight.

"Only a few more days," he whispered. I could hear the relief and happiness in his voice and it made my heart flutter. But the idea of the next few days made a question rise to my lips.

"If Lissa and I are going on a trip right after graduation, who will be guarding Lissa? I know you said that you were getting a new allocation, but it hadn't been settled yet."

Dimitri kissed both my cheeks before kissing my forehead. "I am. I told them that I would be Lissa's Guardian until my reallocation was finalized. Three weeks guarding my girl and her best friend seem alright to me."

I rolled my eyes, "You aren't guarding me."

He shrugged and finally kissed me softly. "If I'm guarding Lissa, I'm guarding you. You're on vacation too."

I sighed and rolled my eyes at him again, letting him believe that before pulling him back down to me. While our kisses in the gazebo were sweet and soft, these weren't. These were hungry and passionate. The thought of being free to do whatever we wanted still loomed over us, but our bodies had other ideas. While my fingers worked on his shirt, his worked on the silk ties at my back. The moment the dress was loose he slipped the straps down my shoulders and I pushed his shirt from his. I wiggled my way out of my dress and he lifted me up before setting me on the dresser.

Screw waiting. I was tired of waiting.

I slipped my fingers into his belt loops and tugged him closer, wrapping my legs around his hips. The low growl that left his lips as his hands drifted up from my waist to my breast excited me and I arched my body into his hands. I let go of his pants and unhooked a leg, fumbling with the buckle on my heel but Dimitri's hand came down and hooked my leg back around him.

"Leave them on," he said between kisses. I shrugged internally and twisted my hands into his hair instead, snapping the hair tie that kept it in place. I could feel my body heating up where he touched me and I moaned into his mouth as he pushed his thickening length against my core. I ran my fingers over his scalp while one hand trailed down his chest to the button of his dress pants.

I felt a tickling at the back of my mind but the smell and feel of Dimitri clouded it. That was until I heard the click in the lock slide and the door swung open. I pulled my lips from Dimitri's and we both looked to the door, only to find Lissa standing there with her mouth open.

The three of us stood frozen and I could hear the cogs in Lissa's head turning before she blushed and turned, closing the door behind her. It must have been quite a sight for her to be frank. She just walked in on her best friend practically naked with her shirtless mentor and her Guardian. Not to mention that his hands were groping my chest. I looked up at Dimitri and felt a twinge of panic because I could feel what Lissa was feeling.

And it was betrayal.
