****WARNING*****GETS A BIT DARK*****WARNING*********

RPOV:

With the warm blood sloshing within me me, I smiled at Dimitri, my fangs glinting and my red-ringed eyes gleaming. I spun around and began dancing provocatively against him.

Within moments of my dance, Dimitri's hands were gripping my hips, restraining.

"Let's go to the house to continue this," Dimitri murmured into my ear.

I ignored him, and pulled away. He didn't control me. I began dancing around him, brushing his body with mine tantalizingly.

His arm snaked around my waist and pulled me against him, pinning my arms in the process. The other one wrapped itself around my neck.

Fear entered my mind. Dimitri was older and stronger than me, especially newly fed. He could rip my head off with a twist of his wrist.

I stilled.

"Good girl," he hissed.

Suddenly, I was furious. I fought against him, wanting to be free, not controlled.

Dimitri simply tightened his arms around me.

He chuckled as I snarled and bucked. My flailing legs did nothing to his stone stance.

"Rose, enough," he commanded.

I fought harder.

Dimitri growled into my ear, then bit it sharply, tearing through the skin like paper. I froze at the sudden pain. A trickle of blood made its way down the shell of my ear even as the wound healed.

Dimitri slid his hand down from my neck to my breast, squeezing it, letting me know he was in charge.

"Now that your temper tantrum is over, let's go."

He spun me around in one quickly movement, lust glinting in his eyes.

I snarled at him again, still aggravated at his attempt to dominate me.

The lust in his eyes flickered out, replaced with fury. His glared froze my limbs in ice.

"Enough," he snapped.

I cowered away, very terrified for my life now. Unbidden, the memory of him threatening Victor Dashkov flashed through my mind. I now knew why Victor was afraid.

"Let's go." He grabbed my arm and began dragging me.

I went along hastily.


We reached the house in what seemed like minutes.

Dimitri threw me on the bed, his eyes still furious.

"I have been waiting for you for months. You denied me by not allowing me to awaken you. You will listen! You will not deny me!" Dimitri roared.

The fear melted away. He wanted me. He wouldn't hurt me. A smirk grew on my lips.

"You want me? So what are you waiting for?" Lust filled me. I had been waiting for him for months too. I allowed my legs to fall open as I leaned back, my hair flaring behind me. My dressed allowed for easy access.

Dimitri paused, struck dumb. A slow smile crawled onto his lips. Lust shown in his eyes.

"I knew you would see things my way."

He was in me in an instant. lips moving on mine roughly.

It was pure animistic need as he tore off my clothes and I his. As soon as both of us were naked, he was pounding into me. I moved with him, the synchronization we had as dhampirs transcending even the multifarious changes we'd gone through.

Our dominating natures clashed, even as they worked together. Our fight for the top brought an excitement to the sex, one I'd never before thought to be feasible. As our release approached, we found ourselves working together towards the greater goal, towards the need to shatter into the blissful oblivion.

As we fell over the edge, I saw a flash of our life together; one filled with fighting and dominating, but at the end of it all, we would be one.


A/N: So, there ya have it :D A bit darker than the previous chapters, but, hey, they're Strigoi!

People wanted them to be staked and brought back to life. I'm going to have to say no, as far as it is going right now. The way I see it, without Rose, Lissa would know nothing about the possibility. And since Rose doesn't know yet...well, yeah :P I'm going with what I think would happen if they were both Strigoi, and I'm not seeing any miracle staking in the equation. Sorry!

Thank you to everyone who reviewed! Much appreciated! :D Hey, does anyone do Poetry Out Loud, or does your school participate? Mine does :3 We had ours today :P I lost. Lol xD
