As I was walking towards the main hall I saw Dimitri and noticed he was particularly excited to see what father needed but I sensed he knew what it as but wither father told him not to tell me or he was too afraid to tell me I couldn't tell which one it was. I'll just have to go see what it was on my own.So I returned my attention back to my phone but I had only a second
I looked up just in time to see Dimitri walk up beside me, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Uh oh.
" Hey Tris, how'd it go at the shooting range? You didn't scare another instructor again did you?" Dimitri asked in that soft low voice of his that always seems to comfort me.
" Now Mitri why ever would I do something like that?" I asked with a grin. " Why are you so eager? You know something don't you?" I asked him with a confused look that firmly placed itself there when he just grinned at me with a devilish smirk he truly had gotten from father no doubt about it.
"Oh Tris, I would never!" He said with a sheepish grin as he shoved one of his stray dark locks out of his eyes with no luck of getting it to stay there.
" Of course you would Mitri. Now what is it?" I asked as we approached the main hall only to see our father standing there with the same sheepish grin on his face as Dimitri.
Father barely looked older thank Dimitri and myself even though he is several thousand years older than we are. That's what separates us from mortals. Among other things that includes height and looks for starters.When it comes to aging our bodies stop looking any older between seventeen and twenty-one and so all of our people look close to the same age.As for father, he stopped again at twenty-one and I swear he and Dimitri could be twins except for a few slight differences between them. Even though they are very slight you can spot them a mile away if you know both of them as well as I do.
Father's hair isn't long but it isn't exactly short either. He wears it spiked on the top and the back of it just barely touches the top of his neck, and he prefers to keep a light dusting of stubble on his face so he can look a little older then Dimitri and I. And as for clothing he's quite unique in the sense of alternating black leather and cotton that usually ends up burnt before the day is over. Father was well is very loud and outspoken whereas Dimitri is quiet and only chooses to speak when he feels the desire to or the need to.
Our dear father is also confident in a way that borders on cocky, but Dimitri has a shy confidence about him that when he wishes commands the attention of the room when he enters. When it comes to hair Mitri's is messy in a way that looks styled and brushes his collar. Just as we opened the door there stood father holding up two different black formal dresses and was grinning at me which meant trouble in it's truest form.
"Oh no I don't think so not happening." I said as I started for the doors but Dimitri caught me from behind in a hug and turned us towards father with his arms locked around me and my back to his chest.
" Oh my little fallen angel stop glaring at me and pick one." My father said as he held up the dresses while I continued to give him my best glare that brings my enemies to their knees and he continued to stand there unfazed. I knew I didn't stand a chance.
" Fine but only because I know that if I don't you will." I said admitting defeat. I stood there looking at the dresses that he was holding, the first of the two was a short black body-con one with lace cutouts and thin straps. The other one was the one that truly caught my attention, it was a long Black leather dress that pooled onto the floor and formed into a slight train with a halter neck that had a deep v plunging neck line that would stop right at my navel.
"So my little fallen one which will it be?" Asked my father with a look on his face he knew I couldn't say no to.
" The long one, now why do I have to wear this?" I asked as I took the dress from him and gave it a closer look while pretending not to be interested.
" Because Tris, it's the annual Black Moon Ball we have to go and stand my father's side and do our Royal duties." Mitri replied in that soft voice of his.
I couldn't help the wicked grin that spread across my face as I looked at him a said, "So you have to wear a monkey suit huh?" and I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips at the look that came across his face.
" Yes I do, but at least I have a place to put a gun." He added with an evil grin.
"As do I dear brother." I replied and watched as a mortified look came across his face. " Which suit father, the leather or pin-stripped?" I asked when I couldn't take the look on Mitri's face any longer.
"Tonight my fallen angel we will all be wearing leather, and you have to wear your hair proper and your crown and family jewels as well." father replied then added to Dimitri, " My dear boy that goes for you as well." Mitri just nodded at father's words.
" Dad please stop calling me that." I said with a teasing edge to my voice.
" But why my dear you are my fallen angel? You are a great warrior but women from all over are envious of your beauty and the grace you carry yourself with." Father said with a gleam of pride in his eyes. "And I so dread the day that you fall in love. Besides I know of one's eye and heart you have caught and held for years." Father claimed.
"Oh and who might that be father?"I asked and was truly shocked when Dimitri spoke the next words.
"Julian Remiel, the only son of Belial. He has his heart set on marrying you sister." Dimitri said with an amused tone to his voice. He thinks he is so funny at times just like father. I swear they are like the same person sometimes. Just then as though he heard my thoughts Julian appeared and I couldn't help but smile as we were close friends and have been almost our entire lives.
I won't lie to you Julian looks like walking sin. He is as tall as Dimitri standing at 6'4 with broad strong shoulders, his shirt clung to his chest and abs in a deliciously sinful way that showed every detail all the way down to the sinful v of muscle that disappeared in to his jeans that hugged thick strong muscular legs and a tight ass that you could only dream of with his gorgeous tanned skin and those strikingly beautiful cobalt blue eyes and his sandy blonde hair that stood in beach like waves on top and cut close on the sides and a chiseled jaw the make any roman statue jealous. His jacket hugged his large muscular body just the right way and going by his boots ha was out riding his Harley.
He flashed me a beautiful smile full of white teeth and had such a warmth in his eyes that hit me in a different way than it ever had.I couldn't help smile back.
" Hey Dimi, where you wearing that to?" He asked with and look in his eyes that made me excited to wear this tonight. His voice was like a warm caress on every inch of my body, hi deep soothing voice like velvet.
"Hello Julian," I said with a slight smirk seeing the effect it was having on him as i walked over and gave him a tight hug so i could feel his body better I never truly looked at him as more than a childhood friend and now that i have i want to see more. " Black Moon Ball, i have my royal duties as you know to stand by fathers side tonight." I said as I let go of him but one of his strong hands stayed planted on my waist as I leaned in a whispered in his ear: "I truly hope to see you tonight, All of you." As I added the last part I lightly nipped his ear in a way no one but him would be able to tell and his large hand tightened on my waist as he let out a shaky breathe.
" I wouldn't miss it for to world. Your mine Dimi." He said in a way that shot fire through my veins in every wonderful way possible.
As I walked away I couldn't help but look forward to this evening for the fun I plan to have.
