Hey guys, I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to update but I have literally been doing homework since about 9 this morning and I was busy till 10:30 last night so I haven't had much time to write. (plus I had no ideas for a while)

I hope you like it. I made it a longer chapter because it took me so long.

Chapter 2

I stared into Dmitri's eyes for a long moment. I couldn't bring myself to tear my eyes away from his deep chocolate brown orbs. A sly smile crept across his face as he moved closer.

My heart was pounding in my chest and I managed a glance at his mouth. What I wouldn't give to kiss those lips, I thought to myself. What are you thinking?! I yelled at myself mentally. He's your mentor! Your OLDER mentor! I couldn't help myself though.

In those moments where he smiled, or relaxed ever so slightly, my heart melted. I saw something shift in Dmitri's eyes. He was still curious and capturing but I could see something else in there too, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Did he want me, just as I wanted him? He couldn't. I dismissed the motion immediately until he was only a foot away from me. "I'll give you a choice then. Since I have to do something within my power as recompense for... sleeping in"

I could see the humour in his eyes and it was such a rare thing to see him without his Guardian mask on I couldn't come up with a smarter response than furrowing my eyebrows in a question.

"you can have more freedom on your shopping trip, or you can design a workout session for me to go through, which I will assess to see how much you have learnt since you returned." he said matter-of-factly. I blinked. That was not the response I had been expecting. I thought for a moment and then had an idea. "I have a better idea comrade", I said with a cheeky grin making its way onto my face.

"Oh?" he asked stepping away. I cursed myself for saying something that caused him to move further away from me but I wasn't going to back down.

"How about I come up with a training routine for both of us to do, since I was also late this morning, and you also give me more freedom on the shopping trip if I make a good workout session", I finished my suggestion and crossed my arms, leaning on the wall behind me.

I watched as he worked it over n his head. He stepped to the side and gestured to the whiteboard at the side of the room and gave me one of his rare smiles. "Deal" Only, however, if you tell me why you were late" he said.

"Ok, but I will tell you after the shopping trip tomorrow" I said flicking my hair over my shoulder and walking past Dimitri towards the whiteboard. Before I managed to pass him thought, he stepped out in front of me. I almost bumped into him he stepped so close.

I didn't move away and neither did he. "How do I know that you will tell me after the shopping trip?" he asked, becoming more serious. I looked at him for a few moments and simply said, "You'll just have to trust me comrade".

I grinned and slipped past him and grabbed the marker on the shelf. I thought carefully for a few moments and then quickly drew up a diagram of the rounds we would both do. I made a mix of individual activities, sparing and then paired stretches.

Once I had finished I turned to face Dimitri again to show that I had done. He surveyed the diagram carefully and then turned to go straight to the first exercise. I waited for him to start and quickly moved to the opposite end of the routine I had made.

We both worked ourselves into a heavy sweat by the end of them and I was beginning to regret the exercises I had chosen as my muscles protested profusely at the weight I was holding while punching tho boxing bag.

I wasn't complaining one little bit when Dimitri removed his shirt. I almost began to drool until I realised I only had one more round before we moved onto sparing.

I sped up to the point that my muscles where screaming and on the last rep I flopped down onto the floor and stared at the ceiling.

"I should have just gone with the freedom on the shopping trip. I looked across to see that Dimitri had finished too and was sitting on the sparing mat catching his breath. I watched his chest rise and fall, unable to pull my gaze away from his chiselled and glistening torso.

I quickly moved to the mats and stood in front of him, offering him a hand up.

"Come on comrade, no time for rest. Time to spar" I said. I saw the hint of a smile grace the corner of his lips. He held his hand out to me and I pulled.

When Dimitri was halfway to standing I lost my footing and we both went tumbling down onto the mat in a heap, with me lying right onto of Dimitri with my arms outstretched, just above his shoulders.

The smell of his aftershave washed over me with an almost dizzying effect. He smelt amazing.

I looked at him and started to get up, only to find he had wrapped his arms around me in the process of falling. He didn't move his arms when I tried to move again, noticing how closely our bodies where pressed together.

I looked into his eyes and saw the same look I had seen earlier, only now it was intensified. I felt like there was a fire burning between us. The only thing that was keeping our faces apart was my arms on the ground above his shoulders.

I was so badly tempted to close the distance that it was like I was dying of thirst and he was the only thing that could quench my thirst. "We shouldn't" he whispered. And I could see that he was fighting the same battle as me

"I know", I said, unable to stop myself from moving closer to him. I could feel both of our willpower breaking as he lifted his had ever so slightly off the ground. Our lips were only a breath away. Just one movement and we would be touching.

All of a sudden the GYM door opened and students started streaming in. We both sprang apart and stood quickly. I blushed profusely. "I guess that's one way to pin you down comrade" I said, smiling sheepishly through y blush. I could see his guardian mask firmly back in place, but I could now see the longing behind his eyes.

"One more round before packing up?" I asked. "We never had a round Roza" he said and my heart fluttered at the use of my name in Russian.

"Then what are we waiting for" I asked as we circle each other.

Later that day when I had finished a very cold shower to clear my head, dried my hair and put on my makeup and clothes, I made my way over to the cafeteria for lunch.

My training with Dimitri had gone for more than an hour longer than normal and I had been exhausted by the exercise and frustrated by the fact that I was falling head over heels for my mentor. I needed serious help.

Lissa informed me over lunch that she had received a spending allowance from Victor. When she told me how much she had been given, ontop of her normal allowance from her trust fund, I was flabbergasted.

We could practically have dresses made for us and get a full makeover from head to toe. I know we wouldn't do that but at least we would be able to get some nice dresses and other clothes as well as a few hair chare stuff and new makeup.

We were both scarily low on makeup so I was officially excited about the trip. My day improved further when Mason told us all he was going to throw a party in his room, since he had managed to snag some schnapps from one of the other students claiming to have been confiscating it.

We all laughed at that and gave him a clap on the back. Even Lissa was looking forward to having a party.

At least this one wasn't with any other Royals. After we had all finished lunch, Lissa and I went back to her dorm room while the others returned to their classes, complaining that we got free time.

Lissa and I watched a movie. We chatted and joked and swooned over the male star. I almost told her about my crush on Dimitri once but decided against it.

The less people I told the less chance there was of it getting out, and I knew if I told her she would make a big deal out f it and end up telling Christian and then they might get overheard. I just didn't want to risk it just yet.

Once the movie finished we chatted for a while longer before dinner. As soon as dinner was over however, we raced back to our rooms to get ready for the party in Mason's room.

I put on a pair of skinny jeans and some black flats with a low cut, tight fitting red top. I pulled on a black hoddie and did my makeup in record time.

My hair didn't need any primping as it was hanging in perfect waves after my shower this morning.

Once I was finished I made my way to the male end of the dorms and check to see that the matron wasn't watching. She was quietly reading a magazine while the usual bunch of students mingled in the commons. I spotted Lissa near the door to the male wing and went over to her with a grin on my face.

I loved the thrill of breaking the rules. We waited for the matron to do her quick sweep of the room again and darted through the door when one of the boys came through.

He gave us an odd look but we ignored him and sprinted to the end of the corridor where we went up the stairs and into one of the first rooms along.

We shut the door quietly and turned giggling to the room of students mingling. Mason was already slightly drunk and Eddie had a lopsided grin on his face as he chatted to Mia. Who looked pretty much sober.

"Well, look who decided to show up!" Mason said cheerfully and the others cheered. The only people there were Mason, Eddie, Christian and Mia.

I grinned, not a big turnout but a good group of people. When Mason offered m the bottle and I turned it down (I still wouldn't let myself drink after what happened shortly before we left the school). "What? The famous Rose refuses a drink?!" He exclaimed.

I gave him a playful punch, "you just want to get me drunk so you can have a chance with me" I said winking at him. We all laughed and joked for a while.

Lissa had a few drinks but stopped once she started feeling the effects and I had fun watching the others get more and more intoxicated.

When Eddie bumped into mason causing him to fall into the rest of us and everyone ended up in a pile on the floor we all lay there laughing so hard that none of us could get up.

Eventually we shifted so we were sitting in a circle and Christian placed the bottle in the middle of the circle and spun it.

Everyone cheered as we realised that the party was going to be stepped up a notch. When the bottle landed on Lissa she groaned.

She reached in and spun the bottle as hard as she could and when it eventually slowed and stopped it was pointing between Eddie and Christian we all ohed and laughed. Eddie shifted to the side and happily sent Lissa to Christian.

Lissa made her way across the circle and stared into Christians eyes for a moments and then the both kissed each other gently and slowly it intensified to the point that we where wolf whistling. She pulled away blushing and returned to her seat.

We continued the game for a while longer until most of us had kissed nearly every other person in the circle, even, most entertainingly, the guys.

I was lucky to have missed most of them and when it landed on me once more I rolled my eyes and went to spin it to see my fate. Just as I was about to spin it the door burst open with a rather unimpressed Dimitri in the doorway.

I turned as white as a sheet of paper, as did everyone else in the room. "What's going on in here?" he asked.

I gulped. To my surprise it was Lissa who responded first. "We're sorry Guardian Belikov. We were just having fun" she said.

I could feel through the bond that she was using compulsion and I hoped god was listening to my prayers that everyone was too drunk to notice. " Please let us continue for just a little while longer. You can join in if you want" she said.

I could see Dimitri fighting it, and I could see him losing the battle. After what seemed like forever he sighed and closed the door.

"You have fifteen minutes and then I'm sending you all to bed" he said sitting down in the circle with extreme grace. We all stared open mouthed at him

"What? A guardian can have a moment of fun every now and then cant he?" he asked. Everyone laughed nervously. "You do know what we're playing right?"

I asked. I wasn't completely sure if it was purely Lisa's compulsion or if it was partly his own choice bit I decided to just go with it.

I was so not missing this opportunity for the world." of course I do" he said as though I was crazy to think he wouldn't know. "Who's turn is it?" he asked.

Everyone in the circle pointed to me so without looking to Dimitri I leaned forward and spun the bottle, only for it to land on Lissa. We both giggled like crazy and moved in.

"wanna give them a bit of a show?" I said quietly in her ear. I may not have been drunk but she was and it would be too funny to see the others faces if we got heated. She sent a silent agreement through the bond and fixed me with a smouldering look.

I had only ever seen that look on her face when she was with Christian and I hoped that she never liked at me like that while sober. I gave my man eater smile and gave a quick glance towards Dimitri before returning my gaze to Lissa.

We both move closer and knelt in front of each other and placed our hands on each other's waist's with our noses barely touching. We both moved our hips and did a sort of dance of almost kissing and then moving away ever so slightly, getting close each time.

After almost a minute we finally met lips and kissed, moving as though it was more serious than it was. We kept our mouths shut but we moved like we were having a serious make out sesh. We parted and everyone stared in silence for a moment before cheering.

Mason and Christian where almost drooling and I could see a stronger look of desire in Dmitri's eyes than I had ever seen before.

I blushed faintly and moved back to my seat winking to him and laughing with the rest of them. We played several more rounds, each time missing Dimitri. Eventually he told us it was the last round and we all groaned but didn't complain too much.

When we spun the bottle and it landed on me everyone cheered and mason said he wanted the same kiss I gave to Lissa.

"You wish Ashford" I said playfully and twirled the bottle. When it slowed, it almost landed on Mia but just missed to land on Dimitri. By now everyone's inhibitions about Dimitri being there had gone and they all cheered.

I glanced at him and Mia shifted so that she wasn't between us, giggling all the way. "Umm," I said self consciously.

"Oh wow, look at this people. Rose Is trumped at last!" Mason yelled out, slurring the last word. I looked over at him defiantly

"you wish Ashford" and I move over to Dimitri. " You sure you can handle it comrade?" I asked flirtatiously.

Dimitri, who had looked emotionless a moment ago now looked like he was about to be given a Million Dollars that he wasn't supposed to have been given.

I could see a sexy, lusty look in his eyes which made my stomach turn into writhing snakes of nerves. I moved slowly towards him, putting my hand on his chest to steady myself.

In return he placed his hand on my neck. He looked so gently at me, asking permission now. I winked in response and his lips came crashing down on my own.

My skin exploded wherever we connected. His grip on my neck tightened as he pulled me in, deepening the kiss. My tongue brushed his lower lip, begging for entry, all thought of the people around us who were cheering again.

Dimitri granted my searching tongue access and my mind almost shut down from the leisure. I moved closer, the heat getting so much I could barely stand it.

Only when I heard a wolf whistle did I remember where I was. Both Dimitri and I pulled away, panting. I moved away, noticing that Dimitri shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable in his jeans, which where none too loose in a normal situation.

I would bet all of my possessions that they where even tighter than usual right now. After that he sent us all to bed and told us not to let him catch us partying again. We all agreed and went to our own dormitories. Dimitri escorted me to my room to ensure I stayed out of trouble and sopped at my door.

"Rose", he said quietly when I turned to face him at my door. "Yes?" I asked, feeling nervous. "Rose I'm sorry for what I did. It was inappropriate and it can't happen again."

I looked to the ground, feeling a little embarrassed. "You know why we can't, without age and with Lissa. I'm sorry Rose" I looked up at him at the last part.

"When you say we can't, does that mean we can't, only because of those reasons?"I asked. Dimitri looked at me in bewilderment for a moment so I continued. "I mean, is it just that or is it because you don't want to? Because that is the only reason you haven't given me yet for us not to" I said defiantly.

I saw something in him shift as he thought that over. I waited a long time for him to day something until he put his hands on my cheeks and put his forehead to mine. It was only then that I noticed the tears in my eyes.

As one fell down my face he whispered to me. "It's not because I don't want to Rose" and then his lips clashed with mine for the second time that night.

I felt one of his hands snake into my hair while the other ran down to my waist. I gasped as his thumb brushed past the side of my breast and he took the opportunity to tangle his tongue with mine.

It became a battle for dominance. Dimitri shifted, pushing me up against the wall and deepened the kiss even further, if that was even possible. I pulled back for air and He simply moved down my neck.

Suddenly we both heard a door slam somewhere around the corner and we sprang apart.

I could now see more clearly in his jeans how much he wanted me at that moment.

"Not tonight" he said. I could see him fighting not to kiss me again so I turned the handle behind me and stepped into my room. "Another time?" I asked hopefully.

He stared at me for a very long moment. "We'll see" he said. Dimitri ran his hand through his hair with a pained expression on his face. "Rose, close the door. I'll see you tomorrow morning when we leave for the day" Dimitri said.

I stepped out quickly and gave him a peck on the lips before slipping into my room and closing the door.

I leaned against it and slid down to the floor.

"Don't forget to lock it Roza" I heard Dimitri say from the other side of the door.

I reached up and turned the lock. With that Dimitri was gone and I was alone for the night

Ok so it hasn't had much fluff and no lemons yet but imp getting there. I'm trying to create a storyline for once.

If you have any suggestions please tell me. I'm open to trying new concepts and stuff. Please no flames.
