Chapter 3 – The Honeymoon

Dimitri POV

I can't believe that we finally made it to the hotel honeymoon suite. It seemed like it took so long, just because I wanted the time to go by fast. I needed my Roza. And here she was. Finally I was able to be hers and her be mine without all the audience and people going around spreading rumors. Although the rumor thing would never stop but right now I certainly didn't care about that. I turned to her and actually looked at her as not just my equal or partner anymore not even my student, but my wife. She smiled as she looked over to me She laughed "What?" She asked innocently

I just smiled at her as I pulled her close to me kissing her passionately. The moment was getting heated and next thing I know I was being pulled on the bed as all the clothes (my clothes) came off in mere seconds. Something I never saw coming. I smiled as I lay under the covers with my new wife. We kissed and made love all night. That had to have been a record. She looked so peaceful sleeping. I looked at the clock and it said 6:00am human time.

I got up trying not to wake Rose up. It was very early but I couldn't sleep so I got up and dressed and went down to explore the island. I wanted to do something special for Rose but was having a hard time deciding. I went around and saw many exciting, exotic things on the Hawaiian Island. After exploring a bit I decided to buy breakfast. When I got up there Rose was still in bed but not sleeping. Oh somebody help me her body is so damn beautiful. I am so glad I didn't have to share. She had grown into a gorgeous young woman. I remember when I first brought her and Queen Vasilisa (Princess at the time) back to the academy.

*FLASHBACK*

Rose was standing in the window and she had noticed me and turned to Lissa. She was the most beautiful young woman I ever saw. The thing is she was under aged. I saw her sneak out the back as I had the guardians surround the place. She fought us all and did very well considering how out of practice she was. But then it was my turn. "If you want her you'll have to go through me first!" She yelled as I introduced myself "Princess Vasilisa Dragomir. My name is Dimitri Belikov I am here to take you back to St. Vladimir's." Rose was so stubborn and even than filled with determination to save the Princess and protect her.

*END FLASHBACK*

She was so independent and a fire and determination to protect Vasilisa. And even now that determination never wavered. That's what I loved most and still love most about my new wife. Wow that sounds so different. I smiled watching her watch me. "I brought you some breakfast my love and later I have a surprise for you. She looked at me smiling. "You know I hate surprises Comrade." She said laughing as I sighed. "For once can you just be happy Roza?" I said raising an eyebrow as I handed her the food and we ate in comfortable silence. After we finished eating we both got dressed and showers and what not. We were both ready within a few minutes. I smiled seeing her get anxious. She really did hate surprises. All the more to give her one. I loved the fact she was anxious and the same time couldn't take it anymore as she bounced up and down on her heels. I laughed watching her get antsy.

"What is this Comrade?" She asked The more we got closer to where we were going the more antsy she got. I just had to sit and laugh at her giddiness. I turned to her as we held hands. That's for me to know and you to find out Rose Belikova. I smirked. She gave me those cute pouty lips she always did when she wanted me to tell her. She thought it would suck me in. Rather it just amused me. "Just trust me will you Roza it will be worth it."

Rose POV

Surprises. I hate them. I hate having to wait until I get what I am going to get. I really hate the fact that it just drives me crazy knowing the person or people giving me surprises know what it is and I don't. I hate the suspense. Just give it to me already! I looked at Dimitri as he mentioned surprise for me. Why doesn't that surprise me though. "Come on Comrade tell me what it is." I sad smiling trying to turn on my charm for him. Needless to say it never works. I knew this time wasn't going to work with him anyway. He smiled and just laughed shaking his head. I sighed. Why bother? Never works anyway. I sighed well the faster I got dressed and made myself gorgeous the sooner I would get my surprise. So I got all prettied up and kissed his cheek. "Let's go Comrade." I said. He smiled grabbing the keys as he lead me out of the hotel. "So Comrade what are we doing?" I asked as he smiled "Well it's such a beautiful island I thought we would go look around and just enjoy the company for starters." He said smiling "Then later is your surprise." I sighed once more I had to wait until tonight! Why could I never get a break? "Oh for heaven's sake just tell me already!" I said starting to lose my temper.

All Dimitri could do is sit and laugh. "Seriously? Oh come on Dimitri can't I have the surprise now?" He asked practically begging and pleading. I most have looked ridiculous because the more I did this the more Dimitri laughed as I huffed. "You have to wait until tonight after the lights go down it is so much better if you do. And what I have planned is on a schedule anyway." He said shrugging his shoulders. I couldn't help but act childish so I did a childish thing and poked my tongue out at him rolling my eyes. He laughed once more. I haven't seen him smile this much in a while. In fact ever. I did enjoy it. So I continued to tease him. "Hey Comrade, if you don't give me my surprise now you will not get any nookie tonight." He raised his one eyebrow like he always does which by the way makes me mad that I am the only one that can't do that. "Well Roza, that is cruel and so not fair." He whimpered. Now it was my turn to laugh. I had something against him. Blackmail always seemed to work.

"Roza. I hate to say this and risk my whole being. But I am going out on a limb and say you really wouldn't do that because you like the sex just as much as I do." Well shit that didn't go according to my plan. Dimitri was always so smart. "Great I got outsmarted by my husband…again!" I said deciding to drop the issue and enjoy the sunrise and looking out to the ocean. I took a deep breath. It had been so long since I was able to just enjoy the sun. It felt good as Dimitri held me and we watched the sunrise on the beach. Nothing could be more perfect. "It's beautiful isn't it?" Dimitri asked as I smiled "Yeah. I didn't think I would ever be able to enjoy the little things like this again." I said smiling enjoying it." We walked the island for a couple hours before we started getting hungry. We stopped over at a little cafe`. After we ordered and got done eating we explored the island some more. We bought all sorts of souvenirs and shopped until we were ready to drop. We took everything back to the hotel before going out yet again.

I was so tired from doing all the shopping and exploring but the time went by so fast. Faster than I thought it would. I smiled realizing it was almost time for my surprise. "Roza, you can't sit down just yet. We need to go to where your surprise is." With that we left and Dimitri led me over to a little spot with a stage. He pulled a chair out for me as I sat down baffled. "Dimitri what is this?" I asked cautiously. He smiled "Well just a minute and you'll find out." I rolled my eyes just as some performers came out and introduced themselves and started dancing. But this wasn't any dancing. No it was fire dancing. I looked up in amazement and awe as I watched. During the time of watching them the waiters and waitresses brought out food for everyone as I smiled. Dimitri was right. This was so worth it. I smiled looking at him "I love you Dimitri, thank you for making me wait." He laughed kissing my hand. "You're so welcome Rose. I am glad you like it." He said smiling. After dinner and the dancing we decided it was time to go to bed.

Dimitri looked as tired as I felt. I laughed "Boy Comrade you look worse than I do." I said as I tried to contain my yawn. He smiled picking me up and carrying me through the threshold. I nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck smiling tiredly. Once we got into the room we both cleared off the bed and took a shower together before climbing in bed. I smiled as I snuggled into my new husband. We fell asleep and I didn't have any nightmares or for once in my life wasn't worried about anything. The next morning I woke up earlier than my gorgeous husband and went out on the balcony drinking coffee and watching the sunrise. I really enjoyed the small moments like this. They were very rare and pleasurable. After a few minutes Dimitri came over kissing my neck. "It's beautiful isn't it?" He asked as I smiled looking up to him "Always" I said
