That night I was laying in my bed watching TV and eating ice cream when Viktoria came barging in. "I didn't see you at the party and couldn't find Dimitri so I assumed you two left together." She plopped down on the bed next to me.

I turned to see her staring at me expectantly. "What?" I asked around a spoonful of ice cream.

Vika ripped the spoon out of my hand. "What happened at the party?" she asked more forcefully.

I grabbed the spoon back. "We're going to try to be together." I said.

Viktoria squealed and hugged me. "Oh my gosh! I'm so happy for you!"

I grinned. "Thank you. I'm really happy too." I sighed. "I just hope I don't screw this up."

Viktoria frowned. "What do you mean?"

"It's no secret I have issues." I laughed humorously. "And sometimes I don't think things through."

"Trust me, Rose. Nothing you do will make him leave you." She assured me. "I've never seen him light up around anyone like he does with you before. Something about you is changing him for the better." She smiled. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to him."

"Thank you, Vika. That really means a lot to me." I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

She squeezed back and let go. "Okay, enough of that. We're throwing a party tomorrow."

"We are?" I asked around another spoonful of ice cream.

"Yes." She said. She looked me up and down. "But you need to put the ice cream down. Lissa will be here in five and we'll plan."

"What's the party for?" I asked.

She smirked. "Kind of like a late welcome." She paused. "And just because I feel like getting drunk."

I laughed. "I can't believe Dimitri lets you throw these parties."

She shrugged. "We're just lucky I guess." The doorbell rang and Lissa backed out of the room. "Get dressed, k?"

I rolled my eyes and pulled on a t-shirt and some sweats. I ran downstairs to meet Lissa and Vika. They were sitting at the island in the kitchen. Vika scowled at me. "What?" I asked.

"I thought I told you to get dressed." She frowned.

"It's Friday night and we're planning a party. Besides, Dimitri is at his friend's." I said.

Lissa lit up. "Are you and Dimitri together?" I nodded and she jumped up and hugged me. "I'm so happy for you!" she squealed.

I giggled. "Thanks Liss." We sat back down at the island and got to work.

"I'll call Adrian to get the alcohol." Vika pulled out her phone and dialed. While she talked to Adrian, Lissa and I booked the DJ who works weekdays at the club Shadowkissed. We went to sleep an hour later so we could be rested for decorating the next day.

The next morning I woke around eight. The other girls were still sleeping, so I decided I would start decorating early. After I showered and got dressed, I headed outside. I carried the box of lights out to the porch, and saw Dimitri in the pool. He shot up out of the water, and got out. He shook out his wet hair. My jaw dropped as I watched the water run down his sculpted body. He ran a hand through his wet hair to get it out of his face. When he could see, he saw me. He grinned and ran over to me, still soaked.

"Good morning beautiful." He said in his amazing accent. He looked at me weird when I didn't respond.

I shook my head to snap out it. He laughed and I flushed. "Good morning." I smiled as I looked him up and down. "Maybe I should get up early more often."

"You really should." He whispered in my ear. He kissed me hard, and I fell into him. When we broke apart, I couldn't catch my breath.

"Do that more often, and you might give me a heart attack." I gasped. He chuckled and kissed me once more. "What are the lights for?" he eyed the box.

"For my late welcome party." I said with sarcastic excitement.

He groaned. "Another party? I still have a headache from the last one."

I laughed. "Sorry, comrade. It'll be totally worth it when you see me in my dress, though." I whispered seductively. I leaned into him to kiss him, but moved my head when we almost touched lips. "There will be time for that later." I whispered. I turned and walked to the grass. When I turned he was pouting, and I laughed.

A few hours later, when Vika and Lissa were awake, Adrian brought the alcohol. We gave it to the men working the bar, and helped the DJ get his equipment to the back yard when he arrived. By nine, the party was in full swing. Dimitri locked himself in his office when people started arriving.

"Just promise me you won't let anyone touch you." He said before I left to greet people.

"I won't let anyone but you touch me. I promise." I said. I shut the door when I left, and went to change. I chose a black silk button up drape that went to mid-thigh. I quickly ran downstairs to find Mason and Eddie. I found them by the bar and wrapped my arms around each of their shoulders. "You guys ready to fuck shit up?"

"Hell yeah!" the both yelled. Lissa, Christian, Adrian, and Viktoria met us at the bar, and we all did shots. I pulled Lissa to the dance floor, and we danced together through six song. By the time we were done, every guy at the party was watching us. After the fifth tray of shots, I was feeling light headed. I looked up and the window and saw Dimitri watching from his room. "I'll be right back." I told Viktoria. She looked up to where I was looking and smirked.

"Have fun." She winked.

I ran up the stairs to his room and knocked on the door. When he opened the door, my breath hitched. He was wearing the blue button up he had on earlier, just unbuttoned. "What are you doing up here?" he asked. My eyes never left his face, even as his slid down the length of my body.

"I can't kiss you down there." I said, and his eyes came back up to me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the room. He kicked the door shut behind him, and ran his hand up my arm. I pulled his head down and crushed his lips to mine. He tangled his hand in my hair to support my head as he picked me up and carried me to the bed. He caught my bottom lip in his teeth. I pushed his shirt down his shoulders. He threw it across the room and I giggled. He ripped open the buttons on my dress, exposing my skin. I gasped at the cold air hitting my skin. Dimitri ran his lips across my collar bone and down my stomach. I dug my fingers into his back and he gasped. He pulled back, and I sat up.

"What? What's wrong?" I asked.

"I can't do this right now." He sputtered, trying to catch his breath.

A look of hurt flashed across my face. "Why?"

"It's not that I don't want to, Rose." He said. "I just don't want to do this while you're drunk. I want it to be special. Please don't be mad."

I smiled and pressed my palm to his cheek. "I'm not mad." I said. "That actually made me like you a little more."

He nodded. "I don't want it to be lust when we do this. I want it to be love."

I smiled even wider. "You're amazing, you know that?" I kissed his forehead and starting buttoning up my dress. He watched me button the whole way up, hunger flashing in his eyes. I sighed. "Look, sex has never been a big deal to me before. But now, it is. I want you to be the first I ever care about, and the last." He grinned and wrapped his arms around me.

"You have no idea how great you are." He whispered.

"Thanks, comrade. But if you want me to leave without tearing your clothes off again, you better let go of me." he let go and I kissed him softly. "Back to my party." I skipped out the door, feeling extremely sober.
