Thanks for the great reviews! I do not own any characters.

Rose grabbed a pair of black shorts out of her bag and a red tank with off the shoulder sleeves. Adrian had gone back to his room to take a shower. She had told him about what happened with Dimitri that morning, but Adrian just mumbled about the big Russian jerk needing to grow up.

Rose had to laugh at Adrian; he was definitely not a morning person. Rose slid the shorts and top on, and grabbed the towel off the back of the chair. She towel dryed some on the water out of her hair and brushed it out. It was getting really long and she wondered about cutting it. She ran her fingers through it and pulled it up into a messy bun. She left the room and headed down the hall to the kitchen in search of coffee.

Dimitri was sitting at the bar when she walked into the kitchen, heading straight for the coffee pot. He lifted his mug to take a sip of coffee when he noticed a tattoo between her shoulder blades. It read Мёртвые души…. dead soul.

Dimitri cleared his throat alerting her to his presence. Rose turn around quickly barely managing to keep her coffee from spilling. "Sorry", he mumbled taking a sip of his coffee. Rose sat down opposite him the bar.

"Sorry… that's all you got. Sorry for the way you have behaved towards me." Dimitri sat his mug down on the counter. "Roza I do not want to argue." Rose rolled her eyes, "Fine change of subject." Dimitri nodded, "So that's an interesting tattoo you have." Rose wrinkled her brow in confusion. "Мёртвые души", said Dimitri.

"Oh that one I got it in Russia", answered Rose, "Actually Viktoria was with me when I did." Dimitri looked up at the mention of his sister. Rosa laughed at his expression and looked down at her empty coffee cup. "Well Dimitri it's been….I would say fun but awkward seems like a better way to describe it. I better go check on Lissa", Dimitri got up and held out his hand for her cup. Rose smiled her thanks and headed out of the kitchen. She stopped in the doorway and turned around to gaze at his profile. Even rinsing dishes he looked like a Russian god.

Tasha walked up behind Rose and tapped her on the shoulder. Rose turned around, "Will people stop scaring me, and I haven't even been up for an hour. Tasha laughed and shook her head at Rose. She had caught Rose watching Dimitri, and her suspicions were confirmed. "I was just coming to let you know Lissa is out in the garden eating and she wants you to join her." Rose walked off in the direction Tasha pointed. Tasha stepped into the kitchen and leaned her hip against the counter. "She is still in love with you." Dimitri looked up at Tasha like she had lost her mind. "Of course she is. That is why she slept with Adrian last night."

"What?", exclaimed Tasha. Dimitri refilled his cup and leaned back against the counter. "I came out of my room and Rose was talked to Lissa about something. Adrian was sleep in her bed. So forgive me if I find it hard to believe she still loves me", he snapped to a shocked Tasha. He sat the coffee cup down and walked out of the kitchen. Tasha grabbed her phone out of her pocket and pressed her speed dial number. "Ivashkov", he answered. "What the hell were you doing in Rose' room this morning", whispered Tasha loudly.

"She was upset last night and I comforted her. Nothing happened. Let me guess Dimitri told you he saw me there", grumbled Adrian. Tasha sighed, "Let me go find him or all we have worked for is going to be ruined because they are both so damn stubborn." Tasha hung up the phone and shoved it back into her pocket.

Rose walked inside from the garden and headed around the corner to the main stairs. She rounded the corner and slammed into a wall. She fell backwards, landing hard she looked up to see who she had run into. She was met with chocolate brown eyes. Oh no we are not going there again. She shook her head and turned on the famous Rose Hathaway glare. "Why don't you watch where you're going?" Dimitri clenched his jaw and held out his hand to help her up. She ignored his outstretched hand and pushed herself up.

She put her hands on her hips and stared him down. Dimitri shook his head and turned around heading back up the stairs. Rose heard him mumble something about some things never changing. She stomped up the stairs behind him.

Dimitri walked into his bedroom and Rose caught the door which he had tried to shut behind him. "Come on Dimitri I know you got something to say so say it." She was on the verge of yelling now. Dimitri turned around and Rose saw his control was slipping. She was glad maybe for once Dimitri would lose the control which he valued so much.

She stepped towards him and yelled, "You are like a roller coaster one minute you are up and the next you are down. You know what I think; I think you enjoy screwing with my head."

His control snapped and he growled as he pushed her back against the door. Her back met the door with a loud thud. "Damnit Roza I had my reasons for the way I acted this morning. I walk out of my room and all I see is Adrian knocked out in your bed. What am I suppose to think? And if you are talking about what happened at the party then I'm not sorry."

Rose struggled against him but his body pressed into hers pinning her there. She looked up at him, her breathing heavy from struggling. Dimitri leaned closer to her letting his lips brush across hers. Rose felt her knees give way but she didn't fall Dimitri was pressed against her. He whispered "Roza" as his lips captured hers in a passionate kiss.

I know I know another cliffy. What can I say? I love them.
