“I had no choice,” she said. “I had to grow up with Will and Dimitri. I had to learn how to fight when I was a kid to survive those two.”
I laughed a little.
“How old is Will?” I asked.
“23,” Ellie said, giving me a small smile. “Just like Dimitri.”
I nodded and smiled.
“So you have known Dimitri your whole life?” I asked and she gave me a small nod.
“Oh, yes,” she said. “I have so many embarrassing stories to tell you. Just don’t let him know that I told you anything because he will order me to stop.”
I laughed and shook my head at her.
“I’m waiting,” I said, raising an eyebrow at her.
Ellie laughed and glanced at the door.
“One time Dimitri and Will tried to build a treehouse,” Ellie said. “They were like 11 or 12 years old. I told them that they won’t be able to do it. They were clumsy as shit back then.”
Ellie smirked and shook her head. I chuckled.
“Anyway, I was right,” she sighed. “I watched as Will dropped a plank on Dimitri's head. It knocked him out cold. Dimitri's dad almost started a war because he thought his son was attacked in the forest.”
I laughed just as Ellie’s bedroom door opened.
“Well, that is the most beautiful sound I ever heard,” Dimitri said, making my heart skip a beat.
I jumped to my feet and ran to him. I sighed in relief when he finally wrapped his arms around me.
“Hi, princess,” he whispered as he lowered his head and placed a kiss on my jaw. “Maybe I should leave you alone more often if I will get a hug like this every time I come back.”
“No,” I said immediately. “You can never leave me again.”
Dimitri chuckled and kissed the top of my head.
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that,” he said softly. “It will be hard for me to leave you again. Being without you is torture.”
He was completely right. I wasn’t able to breathe normally without him. I needed him by my side.
“What were you laughing at, princess?” Dimitri asked as he let me go.
I bit the inside of my cheek and shook my head.
“Nothing,” I said, trying to stop myself from grinning.
Dimitri narrowed his eyes and looked at Ellie.
“What story did you tell her?” he asked and I couldn't hold back my grin any longer.
“I have no idea what you are talking about,” Ellie said, shaking her head.
Dimitri looked back at me and raised an eyebrow.
“Let’s just say that if we ever decide to build a treehouse for our kids, I will be the one doing all the work,” I said as I wrapped my arm around his waist and grinned at him.
“Ellie,” he growled, looking at her.
