me and the King of the Vampires danced and swayed our bodies together. My back resting against Dimitri’s back, my ass pushed against him as we got into the music. Dimitri’s hand was on my bare thigh and it rose until it met my thigh holster and then the knife in the holster.
I could feel him smile into my hair he bent his head to my ear, his breath tickling my bare neck. My mind instantly went back to when we exchanged blood and my heart raced before I could stop the thought, I quickly thought of something else. But Dimitri, of course had realised where my mind had gone to and chuckled.
“of course you are armed. You do realise that every vampire in this room is armed except for Michael behind the bar. You didn’t need to come armed, it’s your night off Ashes.” Dimitri murmured into my ear sending shivers right through me. He still hadn’t moved his hand I was conscience of the fact that the guys were all watching us and had all noticed that Dimitri had his hand up my skirt.
“what’s the problem?” I asked as soon as he finished talking. There was definitely something wrong.
“there are about fifteen rogues down stairs on the dance floor.” he murmured so that nobody else could hear him.
“how did they get in?” I asked keeping my own voice low as the song changed to O.M.G by Usher and Dimitri spun me around so we were facing each other as we danced, his hand never once left my knife. So as he had spun me my skirt had lifted higher and all the men sitting had seen exactly where his hand was. Which was a relief, now they could stop letting their imaginations run wild . Dimitri moved his other hand so it was sitting just above my ass, he pulled me closer to him as we moved and grinded to the music. His hand cool against my bare back.
“these rogues are older than the doorkeeper. They easily disguised themselves to get in.”
“but why would they want to come in here there are no humans? And how did you know they were here?” I asked him tilting my head slightly so I could look into his eyes. I regretted looking up at him the moment I did, I was suddenly all too aware of how intimately close we were.
But before I could pull away, Dimitri tightened his hold on me and whispered. “because I saw them as soon as I walked into the club, every man was looking up, and I couldn‘t understand why, but before I looked over to see who held there attention I noticed the rogues, who were also looking up.” he smiled down at me. “of course they were all looking at you.”
“where‘s Anoushka?” I asked and his face suddenly went still. I frowned up at him. “what’s the matter?”
“you shouldn‘t have told me to stay with her, I was trying to politely tell her to get lost, and in you come and tell me that its okay if I miss your birthday. She was only there because she heard there was a female living in my house.” he sighed. “she wouldn‘t be persuaded to leave, fifty years without seeing or hearing from her and as soon as she hears you have moved into the house she fly‘s all the way from France to try and worm her way back into my life.”
I tried not to laugh as I looked at the pained look on his face. “you are far too polite for your own good Dimitri, how did you end up getting rid of her?” I asked intrigued.
“I told her the truth. That you were the new Enforcer. I don‘t think I had ever seen her move so fast in my life. I don‘t think we‘ll ever be seeing her again.”
Now I couldn’t help but laugh at the image of Anoushka running like a scared little vampire. Scared of me who was merely a human a month ago.
“Blake throw me my coat, and be careful about it.” I yelled over my shoulder. He did so immediately. I pulled my gun holster out of the pocket and pulled it on. I adjusted the straps so that they fitted snugly on either side of my breasts and then put my gun in the holster.
The men had all risen while they watched me.
“whats going on?” Mircea asked.
“why don‘t you boys sit back and enjoy the show. We‘ve got this under control.” I said as me and Dimitri made our way over to the door.
I noticed that Mike hadn’t moved since Dimitri had entered the room. We stopped beside him and his face was almost comical as he stared from me to Dimitri.
Mike quickly went down on one knee before Dimitri, “my King.” he said breathlessly. “how did you know my name?” he asked
“I know every single one of my vampires Michael, it is my duty to know you all.”
Mike kept his head bowed as we left the VIP room.
“this is going to be interesting, most of those vamps down their aren‘t going to know whether to kneel before you or run.” I grinned at him and had a skip in my step as I felt all the adrenaline pump through my veins.
Dimitri grinned back down at me, “did you know that your whole face lights up just before you take on Rogues. You look so beautiful. You definitely were born to be my Enforcer.”
“yeah yeah, Mircea already told me all about it, but he did leave out the whole beautiful bit, Blake covered that.” I joked even though, I was beaming inside, he thinks I am beautiful. Concentrate Phoenix.
We came to the centre of the balcony and looked down at the vamps just a the song changed again. Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name came on and I spotted twenty-seven Rogues instantly, either more had come in while Dimitri and I were dancing or Dimitri had missed more than a few.
“we should open our mind link Ashes.” Dimitri said and I winced. Ah well I would have had to have let him in sooner or later anyway.
I let the wall down instantly and I could feel Dimitri’s mind straight away. He was still annoyed that I had left him alone with Anoushka.
***hey!! how was I supposed to know you didn‘t want some alone time with the Scandinavian vampire goddess?***
***you really are a good actress Ashes.*** Dimitri said with a hint of relief in his mental voice, letting me know he could see my jealously as clear as day now that he was in my head.
***oh shut up*** I playfully pushed his arm, ***lets go play.*** I said with a grin.
He grinned back at me and as one we launched our selves over the metal railing of the balcony and landed in the middle of hundreds of started vampires. I had already un-sheathed my knife and had unclipped my gun so that it could be easily pulled out of the holster.
***ready when you are Ashes.***
***come on then old man, lets see if you can keep up***
The music changed again this time it was House music.

)
My cheeks were flushed and I had a huge smile on my face as I whirled around the dance floor stabbing rogues in the chest, before they even knew what was happening. The strobe lights and the heavy bass of the music distracted them easily, especially as most of them were drunk on too much human blood.
***I‘ve got five so far, how many have you got Dimka?*** I asked in a teasing voice.
***seven and don‘t ever call me that again!*** I heard the disgust in Dimitri’s mental voice.
I laughed out loud and in our heads as I killed another rogue.
***sure thing your majesty*** I said and mock curtsied before him as we came face to face on the dance floor.
The other vamps had finally copped onto what we were doing and that we were the King and the Enforcer. They all stayed out of our way as much as possible and DJ Ivan put on some more House music, while giving us both a thumbs up.
When we were finished there were twenty-seven rotten corpses on the ground. I danced my way over to Dimitri who was just putting his knife through the twenty-eighth rogue.
***did one more come in while we were busy or did we just miss one when we were counting?*** I asked.
***we just missed one, he was in the far corner making out with a bar girl.***
***poor girl.**** I said sympathetically. But I couldn’t hide the grin on my face. ***that was so much fun! But I thought Mircea had said that all the rogues had left the city.***
***well if they hadn‘t already they will now after they hear about this massacre.*** Dimitri said.
The vamps all around us clapped all of a sudden and I was suddenly conscience of the fact that me and Dimitri had been just starring at each silently, when really we had been talking mind to mind.
“can we get a holler for King Dimitri and our knew Enforcer.” DJ Ivan bellowed over the music.
All around us vampires hollered and whooped.
***okay this bit I do not like*** I admitted.
***me neither, will we leave?***
***definitely*** I smiled at him and then we both flitted up the stairs.
I noticed that the VIP room was empty as we ran passed it. Outside, the two SUVS were waiting and all the men were waiting inside me and Dimitri jumped into the back of one of them and Blake floored it even before we had the door closed.
“what‘s the rush Blake?” I asked
“we don‘t want your cheering fans to follow us back to the house.” he said jokingly, but we all knew there was some truth behind his worries. We were all silent the rest of the journey home.
***home? Do you finally think of the house as home Ashes?***
***it is a lovely home, full of people I love and care about.*** I smiled up at him and stifled a yawn. ***I can‘t believe how easily I made friends with everyone here.*** I added as we drove into the garage.
***it is because you are part of the family now, you were always meant to be part of our family Ashes, fate and destiny can not be meddled with and I am pleased with the results.*** Dimitri smiled back at me as we got out of the car and made our way into the house.
At the bottom of the stairs everyone stood and talked.
“do you know how freaky it is watching you both talk to each other in your heads? You both look so mischievous and you always have us on edge wandering what you will do next.” Quinn stated.
“”it is truly amazing the way you both fight together. And the laughter. It amazes me the amount of laughing
I could feel him smile into my hair he bent his head to my ear, his breath tickling my bare neck. My mind instantly went back to when we exchanged blood and my heart raced before I could stop the thought, I quickly thought of something else.
