"Have you found her yet?" Dimitri asked on the phone.
"Yes sir," the man replied, "We have a clear sighting of her right now."
Dimitri thought for a moment. "Describe what she looks like."
The man paused. "Well, she has dark brown auburn-ish hair."
"Yes go on," Dimitri urged.
"Umm, I'm going to get closer. ... Okay, she's very attractive."
"I know that."
"She has fair skin with clear blue eyes. Her face is very symmetrical and she is very elegant and beautiful."
Dimitri smiled. Yes, she was beautiful. Classy he would say but not if she still had that temper of hers.
"Good, bring her over to the hotel."
"Yes sir."
Dimitri hung up.
He had tried to tell himself that he was only trying to find her because she had seen the killings but something within him knew that he was only lying to himself.
Last night, at the Council Board meeting, when he brought up the killings all the members seemed very shocked. Everyone consented to have an immediate investigation.
Dimitri got up and lay down on his bed. Living in a suite wasn't as bad as he had thought. Everything was close but adequately spaced so that the room didn't seem cramped; he had no need for a kitchen anyways.
A knock sounded on the door.
"Come in," Dimitri said.
A tall man with a black suit walked in with two other men following behind him and a girl in between them.
Dimitri glanced towards them. Yes, that was the girl. She looked delightfully quite angry.
"Good, thank you. You are excused," Dimitri told the men in black.
After they left the room Dimitri sat up and stared at the girl. He noted that he still didn't know what her name was.
As he eyed her he couldn't help noticing her long, slender legs. The same image of having her legs wrapped around his torso popped into his mind again. Dimitri looked away. What was he thinking?
"What do you want with me?" the girl asked.
Dimitri was forced to look back at the girl. "I wanted to interrogate you."
The girl scoffed. "I didn't know that the vampire prime minister of Europe did interrogations in his bedroom."
Dimitri stood up and walked towards her. "I only do interrogations in my bedroom for certain people," he said gently tracing her jawline.
The girl jerked her face away. "Hurry up and ask me questions then."
"I like to take my time," Dimitri replied stepping forward. He wanted to get closer to her.
Meanwhile Alera had no clue why Dimitri had called her to his bedroom. She didn't think he actually wanted to interrogate her but he couldn't possibly be thinking of having sex with her.
"I am serious," Alera said, "What do you want?"
Dimitri looked into Alera's clear blue eyes. "I want to know your name."
Alera paused. "Alera. Alera is my name."
"Mmm," Dimitri commented, "What a beautiful name."
Alera turned away from him and walked over to the opposite side of the room which was near his bed. Wrong move. Within the second Dimitri had Alera pinned down on his bed.
"Get off of me," she demanded glaring into his eyes.
Dimitri his body tense. "I don't think I can," he replied huskily.
Alera pushed him off. For a moment she was in shock. His chest had felt so good against her hands, she had actually wanted to hold him closer. No doubt his body was impressive. She shook the thought from her head.
"I don't care who you are Dimitri Marinescu, prime minister or not. I am not your toy." Alera lifted her chin up to further emphasize her point.
"You really don't care?" Dimitri asked approaching the bed again.
"I don't care."
Dimitri frowned. "You know I think you're missing the whole picture here. Think about this. If you were to be with me even for a little while imagine all the riches and luxuries you would be surrounded with. There is so much that I can offer you."
Alera glared at Dimitri. "Do I look like some money hungry bitch? I don't need you, I don't want you."
"You don't want me?" he asked raising an eyebrow. Now that was interesting. "What if I was your mate?"
Alera nearly fell off the bed. Her? Dimitri's mate? Who was he kidding? "I'm not your mate."
"Mm, but you don't know that do you?" he asked getting onto the bed.
"I'm not here to discuss mating issues with you. I'm not even slightly interested in sleeping with y-you."
