A/N: The story begins in the cabin, just after Rose and Dimitri have sex. Please be advised that this story is for mature audiences only, and there will be M scenes later on. My story will not follow the original plot line, and the attack on the school is not happening after the cabin. All Vampire Academy rights belong to Richelle Mead. Enjoy.
As I begin to wake, I remember the events from yesterday clearly in my mind. I took the darkness from Lissa and nearly killed Jesse. That's when Dimitri showed up and took me to cool off. He took me to an old guardian cabin in the woods, where he brought me back to my normal state of mind, and we finally acknowledged the full extent of our feelings for each other.
Ever since Dimitri brought Lissa and me back to St. Vladimir's we had been fighting our ever growing attraction. I suppose it was bound to happen at some point. He and I just had so much undeniable chemistry. His touch lit my skin on fire, and his voice played in my mind like a perfectly written song. He was my perfect match, and we both finally acknowledged our need for each other. Dimitri is the first man to share my bed, and I am ready to graduate to see where things will go.
"Roza…" he whispers softly in my ear as I roll over to look at him. God he is beautiful. His dark eyes pierce through me, as if I am the only woman on the planet. The look of lust makes me wet with anticipation for him again.
"Dimitri" I reply as I look at him, with what I hope is lust.
I hear him chuckle as he says, "Oh no Roza. We have places to be now, as much as I would like to do that again."
I groan and climb over him out of the bed. I can feel him stand up behind me, and he wraps his arms around me.
"We can do this again tonight. I am done denying my feelings for you.", he whispers huskily in my ear.
I can feel myself shiver in anticipation. Walking around the cabin, I find my clothes where they were hastily discarded earlier. I quickly dress myself and turn around to find that he has done the same. Dimitri puts his arms around me and quickly pulls me in for a kiss.
"You are mine now." He whispers, and I can feel myself melt into his words.
"And you are mine." I whisper back. He kisses me again and takes my hand as we walk out of the cabin.
We walk quietly through the woods toward campus. It is a quiet walk, and I revel in the excitement I feel about Dimitri and I. I can't believe we have finally taken this step. Then, just before the tree line on campus, he stops.
"Roza, we need to tell Alberta and Kirova about us, if we want to continue this seriously. The last thing I want is for it to come back on either of us that we tried to hide it." He says seriously.
"You could be fired for this though Dimitri. I don't want that to happen just because of me." I respond quickly. I can feel myself worrying about his career and what others will think of him, if it comes out that he has relations with a student. "Maybe we should wait to make it public till graduation." I say thinking quickly.
"I don't want to wait till graduation Roza. I want everyone to know that you are mine." He says softly, as he lovingly brushes a stray hair behind my ear.
"It's only two months away." I whisper back, as I step in and wrap my arms around him. "It is worth the wait to me to save your job and reputation." I can hear him sigh loudly as he wraps his arms around me and buries his face in my hair.
"Then we will wait, but know I am willing to sacrifice all of that to be with you." He says as he kisses the top of my head. I step out of his embrace and kiss him softly.
"Two months." I say softly as I walk out of the trees and back on to campus. I leave him standing on the other side of the tree line and walk quickly back to my dorm. When I am close, I get pulled into Lissa's head. I see her and Christian going at it in the chapel library. It takes a few attempts but I manage to pull myself out, and I immediately shake it off and quickly enter the novice dorms.
I say hello to the guardian on duty as I make my way to the staircase and head up to my room. When I get there, I strip down and get in the shower. The feel of the hot water on my neck and back is amazing. I take my time rinsing today's earlier activities from my skin as I dwell on my thoughts of Dimitri. Only two months. I keep repeating to myself. I can wait two months.
Once I'm finished and dressed, I make my way to see Lissa. I can't wait to tell her about Dimitri and I. Hopefully she and Christian are out of their compromising position. I hope to myself, as I walk toward the library. When I get there, I find them both cuddled up on the sofa, thankfully, clothed.
"Hey Sparky, can I steal my best friend for a bit." I say, making eyeing them over.
"Yep." He says laughing lightly. "I'm out of here." He kisses Lissa softly before he leaves.
When I'm sure he's gone, I take his spot and look at Lissa giddily.
"Woah. What's got you in such a great mood?" She asks me laughing.
"Well…" I start. "You remember how I told you that there was this guy I liked…" I see her nod her head quickly, as she starts to grin. She knows where I'm going with this. "We both decided to take it to the next level." I say happily.
"Oh my gosh! Rose! I'm so happy for you!" She squeals, as she throws her arms around me. "Now, tell me, who is the guy? You've had me dying to know for months."
"That's where it gets tricky Liss. You can't tell anyone, and I mean anyone." I reply seriously. Lissa nods her head in response, as I say "It's Dimitri."
Her mouth falls open and she stares at me in shock, as she processes the news.
"You mean your mentor Dimitri? Guardian Belikov, Dimitri?" She asks almost horrified.
"Yes." I respond quietly.
"Rose, do you have any idea how much trouble he could be in if anyone finds out?" She half shrieks at me.
"That's why we aren't making it official until after graduation." I tell her seriously.
"Rose, that's still two months away. Are you going to be able to stay away from him that long?" She asks.
"I have to. For the sake of his job and his reputation, as well as my own. I have to." I tell her honestly. "As much as it pains me to do it, I would do anything if it means keeping him safe from that."
"Well then, I'm happy for you Rose. Just be careful that you know what you are getting into." She says smiling at me. I smile back, because I can't help it. I am just so excited that the man of my dreams is finally mine.
