Claimed By A Dragon Prince-Chapter 23: Surprise Destination

Finishing the meal the two chat for a whole exchanging bits of knowledge they thought each other should know. Dimitri likes sour treats over sweet whereas Lily has a love for chocolate. Dimitri was telling a funny story about his childhood as they got up to leave but was rudely interrupted when someone fell into him.

"I am so sorry! I did not see you there!" The woman who had bumped into him tried to apologize. Lily helped her up from the floor seeing that she had been pushed by someone behind her. She didn’t see the person’s face back caught the red hair before it disappeared. The woman quickly excused herself her gentlemen friend helping her walk to their table.

"Do you know that woman?" Lily was curious because he had a sad look on his face when she helped the woman. "No, but she looked familiar and I just couldn’t place where I had seen her before. Anyway, I have a place in mind you might like to see. Shall we go?" Lily was intrigued by this new development nodding yes.

Dimitri knew he had seen that woman before at the castle, but was unsure why. Let it go for now he led Lily out of the restaurant seeing no sign of his brother. The carriage was waiting for them as the footmen opened the door for Lily to step in first. Dimitri gave her his hand guiding her in following just after speaking with his footmen.

Lily still felt like she was in a beautiful dream she never wanted to wake from. Dimitri has been so kind and attentive through out this experience making her feel very cherished by him. He sat next to her in the carriage pulling her close while he draped on of the furs that was stowed under the seat over her shoulders.

The warmth of his body so close along with the fur kept her warmer then she meant to be. His hand wrapped around her back settling on her hip as they traveled through the streets moving to a quieter section of the city. Dimitri knew she would love the place he was taking her to since she loved plants so much.

Just outside a gated area the carriage stopped as one of the guards walked to the door. "Your highness, we did not expect you to stop by so late." Dimitri waved him off knowing he hadn’t said anything about a visit. "Don’t worry I wanted to show my son-to-be mate the work Trinee has put in." The guard nodded moving to open the gates letting them through.

Lily was very curious now that he mentioned Trinee’s work. "Where are you taking me?" Dimitri smirked as she squirmed with excitement in her seat. Pulling her close he pulled a scarf out of his pocket wrapping it around her eyes. "Hey! What? Come on now I can’t see."

Dimitri chuckled her pout too cute as he captured that bottom lip surprising her. Lily knew he was teasing her, but when his lips touched hers what whatever he wanted to show her seemed less important in that moment. Pulling back he could see the silly smile on her face as the carriage stopped. "Keep the blindfold on." Dimitri picked her up bridal style maneuvering her out the door as he walked along a path. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"You are really going all out for this, aren’t you?" Lily couldn’t help poking at him a bit hers unable to peek though the cloth. "I wanted to show you something that hasn’t been tainted. This place has been cared for and nurtured by Trinee, but I figured you would appreciate it as well." Stopping at a cut in the path her sets her down facing the sunset that shined beautifully over the landscape.

Taking the blindfold off Lily gasped at the sight before her. A gorgeous garden with a small stream and an abundance of flowers growing along the edges with beautiful shrubs and trees carefully placed to make the area look enchanting. "Wow its amazing! Trinee did all this?" Seeing some of the plants she had lost years ago she felt better about restarting some of her previous research. The sigh simply captivated her as she moved around to view all that she could.

"Yes, she found a lot of the dying breeds bringing them here to cultivate them. She has stored seeds so if some die she can test them to see what happened to make the plant die." Lily listened while he led her along the path showing her the rest of her reactions to seeing certain plants pleasing.

Lily couldn’t believe Trinee had done all this work which had to of taken years to do. Kneeling next to a deep blue flower she could see the fireflies circling close as she examined the flower. Dimitri could tell she was in her element amongst the flowers some almost reaching for her as she sat on the grass.

She had such an enchanting way about her one that made her very presence seem like a gift to the garden. She turned her head to see him staring his face glowing in the moonlight that was now shining over them. Pulling her up and gathering her in his arms Dimitri could not resist the pull he felt kissing her as his dragon demanded.

The beast part of him wanted to possess this woman as he devoured her lips pulling and tugging driving her to want him more. Pulling apart he pulls the fur off her shoulders to sit on the grass as he helps her to down. Leaning in to kiss her again he reaches around unlacing her dress watching it call down her chest to pool in her lap.

"For tonight I want to worship you under the stars. Can you handle that?" Lily’s heart was already beating uncontrollably her breath jagged as she nodded in approval. "Take me, my prince, I am yours." Needing no more encouragement he leans in kissing those lips he seemed to find himself dreaming of.
