So, I started re-reading some of the Vampire Academy books while I impatiently wait for "The Last Sacrifice" and I decided to put my own twist on the night in the cabin in Shadow Kiss. Not sure if it's worth continuing, so review and let me know :)

The first night of the rest of my life

How could Jesse do something like that to Lissa? To anybody! And why wasn't anybody letting me do anything about it? My eyes darted around the little cabin looking for a way to escape while Dimitri went and got the first aid kit. My adrenaline was still pumping strong through my veins, so if I had any injuries, I took no notice to them. Dimitri sat down in front of me and started dabing at my face.

"Oww! What the hell!"

"Rose. Calm down." Great... His guardian voice returned, he was all business.

"Well what the hell do you think your doing? Jesse and Ralf deserves way more than what they got!"

He gave me a stern look but softened his voice. "Rose, it's not up to you to decide what happens to them. I promise you they will be punished."

"No!" I screamed standing up with such force it even stunned Dimitri. I stormed for the door and almost got there, but he grabbed my wrists and spun me around. Pinning my arms to my side he looked into my eyes.

"Rose! This is not you! Snap out of it! Please... Please!"

I was fighting him, but I could hear the desperation in his voice. I refused to look in his eyes, if I did, I know he'd have control of me.

"Rose..." He chocked out, he sounded like he was going to cry, and I couldn't help but turn my gaze to meet his.

He kept his eyes intensly focused on my desperate face. I wanted him, every part of him, more than I'd ever wanted anything else in this life. Yes, even more than protecting Lissa, or beating up Jesse. "They come first," I know, I know, but this is Dimitri we are talking about. Strong, confident, loving, sweet, amazing Dimitri and in this very moment he wanted me too, there was no denying it. He snaked his hand around my waist, pulling me ever closer to him, completing me. Gazing into each others eyes, both hesitating; there was no going back if we gave in now. We were alone, without a worry of being seen there was nothing here to stop us. The moment before his lips crashed hungrily against mine felt like an eternity. But when they finally did, everything else in my life lay forgotten in the back of my mind because in that moment, that very second, my whole existence was consumed by his kiss. I could see it in his eyes that he wanted this more than he had ever wanted anything... "Roza.." he murmered in my ear.

Gently laying me down on the bed he stayed hovering above me, taking in every inch of my body.

"My beautiful Roza..."

My heart melted completely.

"Dimitri, I don't care what anyone says, I love you and -"

He cut me off there; there would be no more waiting, we ached for each other, there was passion boiling in my blood just like the night that Victor had tricked me into wearing the amulet. Only this time, there was no amulet, just two Dhamphirs who were hopelessly desperate for each other despite the taboo of the Moroi world.

Forgive me for the cliche, but how can something so right be considered so wrong?

"Rose? Rose! I need to talk to you!"

My resentment towards Lissa flared at that point, and I think Dimitri saw it in my eyes.

"What's wrong Rose? Do you not want this?" I could see the hurt he was trying to shield from his eyes.

"No, trust me, I want this. It's just..."

"...Lissa"

"Rose? If you're listening I guess we can talk tomorrow, don't worry I'm safe and I'm okay. I just miss you that's all."

I relaxed knowing that Lissa was okay, but some of that resentment and anger still bubbled within me.

"Rose? Rose! Whats wrong?"

"Nothing..."

"Don't lie to m-"

As much as I loved hearing him speak, I didn't want to talk about Lissa. It was him and I, and nothing else.

We continued kissing, compassionately and fiercely kissing as if we'd never have another opportunity like this ever again. Who knows? We might not...

"Are you sure you want this Rose?"

In response I started unbuttoning his black button up shirt, I could see his hard, tanned chest as I pulled his shirt from around his shoulders. The electricity was so strong I'm surprised my heart didn't stop! He was so amazing, gentle, caring...

"I love you Roza, I've tried denying it and I can't, not anymore."

And he proved it to me that night.

I always thought that your first time having sex, you'd feel awkward and inexperienced, self-conscious and silly. But Dimitri had been so gentle, so understanding, and was more than willing to let me take control. I couldn't find where I began or where he ended, it was all the same, we needed each other to survive, and as much as he tried to ignore it in the past, he felt just as strongly as I did.

We layed there for hours, just embracing what had just happened. No words needed to be said, we both knew that there was no more avoiding our relationship. We had to make it or break it. But not tonight, no... We'd enjoy it while we could, me wrapped oh so safely in his arms, me listening to his steady heartbeat as we both drifted off into one of the best sleeps I'd ever had.
