I flinched as I felt someone's cold fingers touch my skin.

I wanted to wake up but something wasn't letting me open my eyes. Something soft was stroking my skin, tenderly, up and down the sensitive skin of my face. The touch of cold fingers was what I felt on my hand. The felt the skin of my hand and then he laced his fingers with mine.

His cool lips traveled to my ears. "Little dhampir, its time for you to wake up." He said, kissing my nose. His lips traveled an inch lower and then he kissed my lips. His soft lips entangled with mine. My tongue opened his mouth; our tongues tangled and then we kissed harder than ever.

I finally was able to open my eyes. I met his green eyes that reminded me of that jade ring he had given me last week. I noticed that I had not woken up in the hospital but in the room Adrian and I shared at our house. What the hell? What had happened? "What. . .the. . .hell?" I asked, wondering why I was feeling like a had hangover. A bad hangover.

Adrian smiled. "That's an awesome medicine. . ." He muttered and I raised both eyebrows at him. "Little dhampir, have you ever tried Russian Vodka?" He grinned smoothly, tracing my lips.

"Medicine? Russian Vodka? Why the hell am I feeling like I just drunk a whole bottle of liquor?" I struggled to sit up but the world was spinning. "What the hell? Am I drunk?"

He grinned again. "Something like that. Doctor's orders."

"Huh?" I asked, even more confused. Oh, shit. I felt that nausea, that one that said, honey, you ain't fine you are drunk. I leapt out of the bed and walked over to the bathroom with a hand to my mouth. Holy freaking shit! I puked out my guts inside the bathroom. There went Adrian's happy mood. "Are you okay?" He asked, helping me back out to the master bedroom.

"No. Why the hell did you guys give me Vodka?"

Adrian looked ashamed as he told me why. "When dhampirs loose a lot of blood the best medication is liquor."

"But you didn't take a lot of blood." I said, binging back his face so that he faced me.

"Without realizing it, I took a lot more than you were capable of giving me." He turned to look at me. "But that's your fault."

"Why is that my fault?"

He turned towards me and laid on top of me. "Its your fault because you are so damn desirable." He started kissing me on the neck and lips and everywhere. It made me giggle. It was just an impulse that developed from the core of me, the child part of me, that playful childish part of me that I had denied over many years. He had stopped kissing me and just stared at me, stared with passion and love.

And I just stared back, looking at him the way he was looking at me. He kissed me once more and put his ears back to my lips. "I love you, Rose, I love you so much. I can't imagine life without you. You've become this anchor in my life that just keeps it in place." He seemed at loss for words. "I just can't find the right words to express all I feel."

I looked away, shy because this was the first time we had ever gone to this subject. "I feel the same exact way." I closed my eyes and I rested my head underneath his chest. "And, like you said, I can't live without you, either."

He kissed me again but stopped. "Rosie, I love you." He said yet again. I smiled again and my stomach growled. "Ooh, Rosie is hungry better feed her before she kicks our butt." He said using his teasing smile, the one he used all the time with me.

"Rosie? Please, call me anything but that." I said, scrunching up my nose at the nickname. "And you know, you sound more like you are talking to a baby not as if you were talking to me, Rose."

"It does not matter if you don't look like a baby. You're my baby, my sexy baby." He slapped my ass as I slipped off the bed. "Ivashkov! What the hell did I tell you?!" I said, slapping his arm playfully.

"Rosie, it is a total turn on when you get mad at me." I opened the door and walked out to find Lissa. It had a couple of hours since I had last seen her. Adrian grabbed my hand and led me down the wooden staircase. "She's down here." Adrian had to help me gain my balance now and then as I made my way down the staircase.

"Oh, my god! Rose! Jeez, you had me scared!" Lissa said, throwing her arms around my neck. I could see Christian behind her. I could tell he had been worried sick like Lissa had been for me.

I grinned. "Well, I'm okay now." I said, hugging her once more. I sniffed the air and I smelt the good smell of baked lemon chicken. I walked over to the counter where a plate of chicken and pasta waited. I was so close to the plate but I turned back. I went over to Christian. "Thank Fire-Flame, thanks for saving our asses." I hugged him and after a second he hugged back.

"Glad to see you safe," I said, noticing how Adrian looked at Christian and I curiously. I said some more words and then I grabbed the plate of the counter. I sat on one of the stools and dug in. Christian and Lissa had to leave the room because they had an appointment with the doctor that checked Lissa every month.

Adrian watched as Christian and Lissa left, with Christian's hand on Lissa's stomach. "I can't wait till you have that same baby bump as Lissa."

I didn't say anything just focused on eating the small potatoes. Adrian looked at me, his face clearly showing amusement. He walked over to me and ate one of my potatoes. "Everything ok, little dhampir? You got quiet all of a sudden. That is so unlike you." He said, smirking, stroking my cheeks that were red. "But of course, we won't have kids until you say so."

I took a huge breath. I put my food aside. "Do you really want children?"

He leaned down and kissed me so hard that when he pulled away my lips were sore. "I would want anything that comes from that sexy body of yours."

I raised and eyebrow at him. "And what would you say if I told you that we can start now?" I looked him dead in the face. I didn't even breathe as I waited for his answer. He was so freaking shocked at me saying those words. He had to blink several times. "Everything ok, wonder bread? You got quiet all of a sudden. That is so unlike you." I said, smirking, repeating what he had said to me. I wanted to laugh at his expression. I bit my lip, stifling a laugh.

He caught my expression. And then gave me a dark glare. "Little dhampir, don't mess with me like that." He let his breath. "I almost had a heart attack."

I started cracking up. "Damn, I wish you could have seen your face!" I didn't know what was happening when he tackled me to the ground. His face was dead serious, but I could see the teasing in the back of his eyes. "Don't ever do that again." He started kissing me again.

Some time later

Lissa gave birth to a beautiful boy that she named Andy. Andy Ozera was the cutest thing alive, currently, because I was sure the kids Adrian and I would have would be much cuter. He had blue eyes, Lissa's blonde hair, and Christian's gorgeous lips. He lit up the whole house with joy. Just like Adrian filled up my world with joy. Since the whole Dimitri issue was still going on, Lissa and Christian and Adrian had had the queen assign the baby some guardians. When the queen had asked why, Adrian had said, "Its due to the fact that he is a Royal." So therefore, he had two guardians with him all the time, which served good for us, since we weren't always that alert.

I let go of Adrian and stood up. And then I remembered, we had the house all to ourselves; Lissa, Christian, and Andy were probably going to take some time to back home. We could do some pretty decent things in here in the meantime. I looked over at Adrian and I knew we were thinking the same things. He came to me, walking slowly. "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"

"It depends on what you are thinking." I said, winking over at him.

He grinned evilly. "Alright, come with me. . ." He grabbed my hand and led me to our bedroom. I was a little nervous because this was going to be our first time but I knew it was going to be wonderful. I hope I didn't disappoint.

Once in the bedroom, he passed the bed, passed the awesome couch, until he was face to face with the slide glass doors. He grinned mischievously. He climbed up some stairs and stood with me on the balcony. The cool wind hit us in the face. He looked at me adoringly as he took my hair out of my face with his fingers. The balcony view didn't really showing anything but a bunch of green. But being with him, was just perfect. Everything about him was perfect. Together we were much better than perfect.

I smiled over at him. "You want a real challenge?" He asked, staring at something. I tried to find what he was looking at but I couldn't. I looked over at him. And then decided to answer him. "I would love a challenge from you. . ."

"Alright, hold my hand. . ." I gripped his hand. I started to freak out when he started to climb over the railing. "Holy fucking shit! What the hell are you doing?" He wasn't listening to me; he just kept grinning and pulling me over to where he stood, on the other side of the balcony. He then, jumped off, with me in his towing. I closed my eyes expecting to hit concrete.

But, no, we didn't hit that.

Instead, we landed in the pool.

The cool water of the pool splashed everywhere as Adrian and I landed in it. I laughed joyously, glad that Adrian was with me to feel this experience. My heavy clothes made it hard to swim freely like I wanted to. I took of my sweater and threw it out the pool. My shirt, he helped with that. My pants I took them off. I took off everything expect my underwear and bra. He looked away, not wanting to look at me. His cheeks were kind of red.

"Ivashkov, never figured you as one to blush." I said, throwing my wet shirt at his face. "I thought you would do dirtier things with other woman."

He blushed even darker. "Well all those were made up." He looked away and back at me. "I have only done it five times."

I was so damn shocked. "Are you serious?"

He nodded. "I just wanted to let you know, my beautiful Rosie."

"Ha-ha! So funny." I said, sarcastically. I swam over to where he sat on the stair. "I gripped his chin towards me. "Don't call me Rosie again."

He leaned so close that it was hard not to focus on anything but his eyes. He kissed me very lovingly. His hands pushed me against he wall of the pool. One hand went on either side of me. He was breathless when he pulled away. He pressed his forehead with mine. "I think we should head back inside; its getting cold." He sucked on my bottom lip. He leaned down again for one more kiss. He let go and went out of the pool. He reached down a hand and pulled me to the surface.

I shivered as the cold wind hit me. Adrian reached down for me and lifted me over his shoulder. "ADRIAN IVASHKOV PUT ME DOWN!"

"Not a chance Rosie!" He said, climbing up the stairs, and laughing while doing it. We arrived to the master bedroom in seconds. He put me down on the spot next to the door. He looked at me expectantly. And there I was, once again nervous. He shook his head. "I don't expect you to give my anything yet, little dhampir. Its whenever you are ready."

I nodded. "I like the part where you say yet."

He smiled. "Now go take a shower before you catch a cold." As I walked away, he spanked my ass.

"Ivashkov! For the millionth time! Touch anywhere but there!" I said, as I walked to the shower. All I heard was his laugh trailing behind me.

Twenty minutes later, I came out of the bathroom dressed in a black silk gown. He turned off the TV when he saw me come out of the bathroom. His eyes were on my legs, my arms, my whole body. "Wow, little dhampir, you are so freaking hot."

He pulled the covers back so that I could join him. I slipped in next to him and sighed as he wrapped both arms around me, pulling me so close that I had to struggle to breathe. I loved when he did that. It made me feel loved. "I love you, little dhampir."

"Adrian, I love you more."

He smiled and then changed the subject completely. "After you kill him, its going to be me and you, and who ever comes along, forever."

Whoever comes along, meaning any kids that we had. "Yeah, that's how I want it to be, Adrian." I pulled myself closer to him and his hands went underneath my gown as his lips overtook mine. "Don't deny me any longer, Adrian Ivashkov. Make love to me." He seemed clearly shocked at what I was suggesting. But he didn't stop me as I took of his cotton pajama bottoms, leaving him with block boxers only. "Will you make love with me?" Was the last thing I was allowed to say, before his lips attacked mine.

"I want you so bad, Rose." He muttered on my lips. Things were getting too far and too hot.

I wanted him so bad. This need was too impossible to tolerate. I wanted him closer, needed him closer. I was going to have him closer. . .

Like always, she had to ruin everything. . .

Lissa burst in through the door with Christian behind her. Tears were streaming down her face. "Rose! He took him!"

Adrian and I burst apart. "What the hell, Lissa? Can't you see we are busy?"

"Rose! Dimitri took my baby!" Lissa said, throwing her arms around me.

Holy shit, what was I going to do now?
