A/N: Hey Guys! Happy Easter, a day late! Shadowkissed99, I think I'll do a whole separate Valentine's Day story :-) None of the characters belong to me. They're all Michelle Read's. Lucky girl, she is…

I stood mesmerized, staring at Dimitri. He was trying to explain a complicated maneuver to me, but I just couldn't focus. My thoughts were… elsewhere. He was wearing a snug fitting black tee shirt and jeans. I only knew one person who could get away with working out in jeans, and it was Dimitri.

"Rose." I heard him say, snapping me back into the dreary present. It had been almost two days since we last had a chance to be with each other. Between the guardians attacking us, and all the time we had to spend watching our Moroi, it didn't leave much time for 'us' time. But we had been able to sneak a hug or a quick kiss almost everyday, until now.

"Rose, did you hear anything I was saying?" he asked, slightly annoyed. I didn't know how he managed it, but without fail, during training he was purely professional, even though it was probably one of the easiest times to show our feelings, with all the physical contact required and all…

"ROSE!" I found myself pinned down to the mats, Dimitri's lithe body holding me down. "Since it would seem that your mind was somewhere else, you now get to show me exactly what you learned today. You can't leave until you demonstrate the proper technique I was TRYING to teach you. Good luck, Rose."

I laid there for a moment, savoring the contact between us, contact that was so rare. "Rose…"

"Yeah, Dimitri?"

"You need to at least try something…"

I started trying to imitate what I had seen. After a few failed attempts, I stopped struggling. "Ok, point taken. I need to pay more attention. Can we get up now?" I asked. His body weight was making it slightly difficult to breathe.

He just grinned and shook his head. "Nope. You have to get me off." I mumbled a few choice words under my breath, and he started to full out laugh.

The opening presented its self, and I took it. Using all of my force, I tried a reversal, only to have even more of his weight land squarely on my chest.

"Nice try. Glad to see you took the opening I gave you. Too bad you didn't truly catch me off guard."

I closed my eyes, trying to get the image of him lying on top of me out of my mind. His words made me think… Catch him off guard… that was exactly what I needed to do. The only problem was that he's a badass guardian who can't be caught off guard… I could feel his heart beating, almost as fast as mine. Maybe he was enjoying this position we were in as well…

An idea popped into my head. I opened my eyes, staring into his rich, brown, all seeing eyes. There must have been a glimmer or something in mine, because he started to ask "What are you…"

That was as far as he got. I leaned up into him, kissing my heart out. He responded immediately. He loosened his grip, hands changing from holding mine down to loosing themselves in my hair. Once I was sure he was completely lost, I rolled us over, so that I was on top.

"How's that, comrade?" I asked. More laughter escaped his lips.

"That, my dear Roza, worked exceptionally well. But if you try it with anyone else…"

"Don't worry. That's only something I'd use with the two of us." I said, knowing the only time I'd ever use kissing as a distraction would be with Dimitri.

"Now that you've gotten that out of your system," he said "let's see you actually what you were suppose to do." I found myself, again, under him.

"Well, I know one way that works…" I said. He just laughed. Silly Dimitri… he didn't actually think I'd do it again. I'd show him…
