Chapter One - This Never Happened Before

Six months later.

Guardian Belikov, or Dimitri as I had come to know him, was a Russian god. Sure the training was hard for me, but spending time sparring with him was pure perfection. Yes, it hurt, but I got to see that body, which can only be described as being designed by the gods, move and his muscles flex. It was slightly hypnotic. Until I got kicked and fell on my arse.

The image that always came to mind was when I went to a practice lesson one day and he was topless. His dark brown chest was covered in black hair. He hadn't noticed that I'd entered but when I came out of my daze I saw that he was looking at me dumbfounded. I felt my face heat up. But it was worth the embarrassment to see him even a bit naked.

It's not as naked as he's seen me though. He walked into the changing rooms when I was stood only in a black lace bra and thong that didn't leave much to the imagination. He just stood staring at me, looking up and down. He looked like he might bust something as he walked out.

But in looking at him it wasn't just his looks that I lusted after, it was all of him. Every time I saw him my heart skipped a beat and a swarm of butterflies took up camp in my stomach. It must be love. But how do I know? I've never been in love.

"That's all for today. I'll see you tomorrow." Dimitri instructed. The whole session had passed by in the blink of an eye.

"Okay," was all I could muster. I wanted to spend more time with him, but went and had a shower. The hot water spilling over my aching body was the only remedy for my constant battle against my feelings for Dimitri. He would never love me. How could he? He's a Russian god and I'm a novice. I got out of the shower and dried myself off. I picked a pair of denim shorts and a white tube top out of my drawers and put them on. I found my white plimies under my bed and put them on before making my way over to my desk to get a pad and pen. I made my way to the music room, which no one ever used. I sat down at the piano and let my heart flood the pages of my notebook. Soon after I had written the lyrics I got a melody to go along with it. I decided to try singing it to see what it sounded like.

"I'm very sure

This never happened to me before

I met you and now I'm sure

This never happened before

Now I see

This is the way it's supposed to be

I met you and now I see

this is the way it should be

This is the way it should be for lovers

They shouldn't go it alone

It's not so good when you're on your own

So come to me

Now we can be what we wanna be

I love you and now I see

This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be

This is the way it should be for lovers

They shouldn't go it alone

It's not so good when you're on your own

I'm very sure

This never happened to me before

I met you and now I'm sure

This never happened before (this never happened before)

This never happened before (this never happened)

This never happened before (this never happened before)"

"That's a beautiful song." I turned round to see Dimitri a few feet behind me. "I didn't know you played," he said as he approached me.

"You never asked." I smiled at him. "How long have you been standing there?" He looked searchingly into my eyes.

"Long enough." I could see something buried deep in his eyes but couldn't quite place what it was.

"What does that mean? I asked confused.

"Who did you right that song about?" Shit. He knows.

"Just people." I lied.

"Rose don't lie to me." He paused. "It's about you and me isn't it?" Those words knocked the wind right out of me.

"What do you mean?" I couldn't believe how easy it was for him to figure it out.

"I've seen how you look when I'm near you." I didn't know what to say. It was hard for me to lie to him. He seemed to know when I was lying. I might as well just tell the truth.

"My songs are a way to express myself so I can keep a clear head. But ever since I met you it doesn't seem to work. It's as if my head has been in a fog for the last six months." There was a moments silence which seemed like an eternity. "I think I just said a bit too much about myself."

Within a second of him moving, his lips were pressing on mine. His arms snaked around my waist pulling me against his hot, concrete body. A fire burnt deep down inside me as a longing for our bodies to be closer together began to control me. His tongue traced my bottom lip begging for entry, which I gladly accepted. I wrapped my arms around his neck to get closer to his mouth and deepen the kiss as our tongues began to fight for dominance causing a wave of pleasure to flood my body.

But someone had to pull the plug. He pulled away from me, letting go of my waist and retreating a few steps. "What's wrong?" I was so confused. He shook his head.

"We can't do this." Those words made me feel like someone had cut my heart open and was taking great pleasure in pouring lemon juice on the wound.

"What?" His words just wouldn't sink in. He sure did blow hot and cold. "What are you saying?"

"We cannot be together like this. I am your mentor, you are my student. Nothing more, nothing less." I didn't know I was crying until I felt the warm liquid rolling down my cheek. "I'm sorry, Rose. But that will never happen between us." He turned on his heels and left me sobbing quietly into my hands. I wiped the tears away and stared after him.

"We will see about that."
