Dimitrius smiled as he stared at the sleeping beauty before him. He took the time to drown in her essence, her purity, and the innocence she brings upon her. 'I will never get tired of waking up to this every day,' He thought to himself.

Brushing the hair strands that covered her face, he kissed her forehead before standing up and heading to the shower. Today will be different, he promised the both of them. He assigned Hayden to take charge while he, he's going to spend every single second loving his mate.

Time and circumstances when they first met weren't really what anyone would have dreamed of when they first met each other. After buying Dimitrius as her 'slave' little did she know that he wasn't close to that at all. In fact, he's the exact opposite. A superior, a king, a ruthless one.

He took her away from what her heart called home. Proving his cruelty, he didn't hesitate to punish the people she called family. There even came a time where he got out of his control and purposely hurt her by choking her neck.

But even after all those unjust doings, she was willing to look past it as long as they both start again. Something new, something that their future family would know as a fairytale love story.

Felicity has the heart of gold, the soul that burns brighter than fire and sun. She has the looks that the angels would envy, she has the intelligence that no science could match. And to top it all, she's not even trying.

After finishing his bath that came with a shower of thoughts of his beloved soulmate, Dimitrius dressed casually, in his jeans and shirt, he checked in on Felicity to find her still peacefully sleeping.

So deciding for a change, he went downstairs where the kitchen was, a place where he rarely visited after Rosaleen passed away. He busied himself in cooking that he didn't notice someone watching him.

"Breakfast in bed?" She asked with a teasing smirk on her face. Dimitrius frowned as he sensed her doubt on him. "Oh, come on, Dimitri, last time you cooked, you made pasta with blood as a sauce. What are you making for Felicity?"

He laughed while they both reminisced that time when he tried to make what he called a 'blood carbonara' Indeed, Katherine was right, he absolutely had no idea what a human would eat for breakfast.

"Okay, shut up and will you help me?" He asked in defeat. Katherine smiled while she prepared the things they need. French toast and bacon, hmm.

"How do you even know that she'll eat that. What if she has allergies? Oh, God, I know so little about her. Are you sure she'd like that?" He asked anxiously while eyeing the bread and pieces of meat they both prepared.

Katherine playfully slapped Dimitri's arm and said, "You know so much about her yet so little about today's human generation. There's like a single percentage that doesn't like bacon, Dimitri. Now get your ass up there and feed her."

Sighing, he grabbed the tray along with the tea that Odette made to help her get stronger. When he was almost at his bedroom's door, he listened carefully to the humming sound coming from the inside.

She's singing.

Trying to be the gentleman he is, he knocked at the door before hearing her voice allowing her to come in. "Good morning," he whispered and set the tray on the bed.

"Hello," she whispered while covering herself up. 'Did she know that I've already seen her a while ago,' he thought to himself. Pushing that thought aside, he spoke, "I uhm, made you this. I hope you'll like them."

'When did he ever became nervous around me,' Felicity questioned herself. He even fidgeted as he slid the tray closer to her. When Felicity looked at it, her stomach immediately rumbled.

"I love toast and bacon, Dimitri. Thank you," she said while biting the food and giving an accident moan. 'Why did she have to make that sound.' Hiding the feeling he got, he started up a conversation.

"So what do you want to do today?" He asked.

Felicity's eyes lit up when she knew that they could do anything she wanted. "I would like to go to the human territories. I just have a few things to get and we can go anywhere," she answered.

Dimitrius' eyebrows furrowed and he questioned, "You're staying?"

"Don't you want me to?" She asked, taken aback by his question. Felicity always thought that he wanted her around because like he always said, she is his but why does he seem to reject now?

"I mean, I just thought that you always wanted to go back there and I'd have to do more to convince you to stay with me. I want you here, Felicity, I want you by my side forever but if you feel the other way, you don't have to stay," he said.

She wanted to laugh at what he said. Call it any sickness or even syndrome but she did want to stay. With him, she felt safe. Remembering the times when Odette and the witches separated her from him, all she felt was loneliness and uncertainty. Especially when she was in captive by Dominic, the need and want of Dimitrius grew even bigger than she thought it could be.

And one thing, Felicity thinks it's not all because of the mate bond. With or without it, she's willing to stay with Dimitrius.

"I know that as their queen, I must lead them but I don't want to rule with dishonesty, Dimitrius. No matter what I do, I can never be their rightful leader because I don't just care for humans, I also care for vampires, wolves, witches. I can't be a queen of just one faction so before my parents left, Tyler and Felianna, I told them to hand the kingdom to Jonathan. For that, I have nowhere to stay but beside you," she smiled.

The smile grew on Dimitrius' face. All these years, there was only one thing he wanted to achieve, that Felicity would willingly stay by his side. He thought that he needed to capture her for her to stay, so he did yet that only brought them apart. Now, she's standing in front of him telling him that she won't go anywhere.

"Well, let's get to your kingdom and you can get everything you need. After that, we're both going to continue the date that we left," he said and silently, he swore to himself that this date won't end up badly.

Felicity drank the tea that Odette made, it both healed her and little did she know, it consists of an unremovable potion that will be able to sense if she's in any danger. Dimitrius won't be taking any risks anymore. Then, Felicity went to go take a bath while Dimitrius waited patiently for her.

"Dimitrius?" She called out. "I - I think I forgot to bring any clothes," she stuttered. His evil genius plan worked.

Dimitrius pretended as if he wasn't in the room anymore. That way, Felicity won't have any other choice but to get her clothes by herself. 'I'm just in a towel,' she thought to herself while she slowly stepped outside.

Her eyes grew wide while her hands clutched tightly to the little piece of fabric that was covering her. Dimitrius on the other hand just laughed while he held her clothes in his hands. Meanwhile, Felicity just begged with her puppy eyes to give her the clothing.

"You have to get it," Dimitrius teased and held the clothes up high where she'll surely won't be able to reach. "Please?" She pleaded but he only shooked his head.

She sighed in defeat while she took unsteady steps towards him. 'What if the towel falls, this is so embarrassing,' her mind said. "In all honesty, I'd rather sit here all day watching you in just that towel," Dimitrius said in a low growl, making Felicity's cheeks flush a color of red.

A comeback, she needed to think of something as a revenge on him so she said, "Well, today is not that day." Dimitrius stood stunned and shocked at what she had said, he never expected his mate to be bold and blunt but he didn't know, seduction could be one of Felicity's many talents.

In a blink of an eye, Felicity was able to steal her clothes away from him, leaving him with a wink and a flying kiss. He then asked himself,

'What the hell did just happen?'

After a few moments, Felicity came out of the bathroom with her hair down and her beautiful dress. She has always tried to clothe herself simply, just like how a normal human should because no matter what, she could never look at herself fully as a queen.

"Hello?" She snapped her fingers in front of Dimitrius' face because he was still processing what she had said earlier. The way she winked, blew a kiss and swayed her hips flauntingly. 'So there'll be a day,' said his lustful mind.

"Let's go," he said while grabbing her hand, intertwining their fingers showing just how possessive King Dimitrius Stone is.

Everyone in the kingdom knew that Felicity Lowell belonged to no one else but him.
