Chapter 10

I spent the morning packing. I'm very excited for the trip my friends and I are taking. Last time we were all at court was for Victor Dashkov's trial. Last time we were all tense and nervous about the trial and the jury's verdict. Luckily Victor got what he deserved and was thrown into prison for life. This time we were going for a ceremony to get our Zvezda Marks. This time I get to relax and have fun with my friends. Plus Dimitri is coming too. Hopefully we'll be able to sneak off at some point and have alone time.

Once I finish packing I look at the clock and see its 10:30 which gives me an hour until I have to meet everyone. Grabbing some clothes I go and take a nice hot shower. I stood under the spray of the water just letting all the tension run out of my body. Its been awhile since I've been able to enjoy a shower. Usually I have to rush meet Dimitri for morning training.

Rose, its 11. You have to to meet us in a half hour. Don't be late! I will kill you if you are! Lissa spoke to me through the bond. I'd been getting sucked into her head all morning because of her excitement. Witnessing her talking excitedly about our trip and her private moments with Christian had given me a headache. Between all that and packing my stuff its definitely not how I envisioned my morning to go.

With a sigh I got out of the shower and got dressed. Putting on a dab of eyeliner and eyeshadow I was ready to go. Looking at the clock I see that I have to book it if I want to make it in time. Grabbing my bags and keys I head out to the front gates to meet everyone.

Carrying my bags across campus was not an easy thing to do. At first I tried running since I was going to be late, but I gave up after a minute due to the weight I was lugging around.

Finally the front gates came into view. Of course I was the last one to get there. Lissa, Christian, Eddie and Adrian were all grouped together and talking. Behind them Dimitri, my mom, and Alberta were murmuring to each other. Tasha was behind Dimitri and trying to get his attention, but he ignored her. Lissa looked up from her conversation and spotted me.

"Finally! You're late!" Lissa exclaimed.

"I know I'm late. But honestly, do you expect any less of me?" I asked.

"It wouldn't hurt to be on time every once in awhile." Lissa grumbled.

Before I could say anything, Alberta spoke up. "Alright, now that everyone is here we can all head out." We piled into two cars. Alberta and my mother sat in the front of the car that I was in. I sat next to Eddie and unfortunately Adrian in the back seats. Dimitri drove the other car with Tasha next to him and Lissa and Sparky in back.

"So, are you upset that Belikov is sitting next to Tasha in the other car?" Adrian leaned over Eddie to ask me.

"Shhh!" I hissed. "First of all, I'm trying not to think about it. Second of all, my mother doesn't know about Dimitri and I and I'd like to keep it that way so just SHUT UP!" I started out talking quietly but ended up yelling at the end.

"What's going on back there?" My mother asked.

"Nothing." I said. Adrian smirked at me. I shot him a glare that wiped the smirk right off. We stayed silent for the rest of the ride.

Driving to the runway where the jet was didn't take us long. Since it was an academy plane, it technically was still on St. Vlad's property. I ended up sitting next to Eddie on the plane. Lissa and Christian sat in the seats facing us. Alberta and my mom sat behind them while Dimitri sat across from us with Tasha.

Adrian came strutting from the front of the plane, bottle of vodka in hand. "Where did you get that from?" Lissa asked.

"I have my ways!" Adrian said cryptically. I rolled my eyes.

"He probably charmed the pants off one of the flight attendants." I said.

"No, I smuggled it in. Too bad I didn't think of that though. Then again, the only pants I'd want to take off are yours Rose." He said. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Dimitri glaring at Adrian.

"Gee Adrian, I'm sure any other girl would fall for that. But you know that's never gonna happen with me." I told him, smiling sweetly at him making everyone laugh.

"It was worth a shot Little Dhampir! I will never give up!" He said cockily.

"Then you'll still be waiting in your grave."

It took about a minute after we took off for the headache to start. I closed my eyes in pain, which only made it worse. It felt like I was repeatedly getting hit in the head with a sledgehammer. I could hear the others calling my name.

"Rose! Roza? Can you hear me?" I heard Dimitri asking frantically.

"Rose if you can hear us, make a sound." This time it was Alberta talking. I groaned in response.

"Can you open your eyes?" Alberta asked.

With effort I opened my eyes. Everybody was hovering over me and looking concerned. Behind them I could see the ghostly figures had returned. I realized at that moment I was laying on my back on the floor.

"Rose, are you seeing things again?" Alberta asked me. I nodded.

"Seeing what things?" My mom asked. Everyone ignored her. Dimitri and Alberta looked at each other. They whispered a few words between themselves, too low for me to hear.

"Why don't you try and sleep through the flight. We can get you a pillow and blanket to make you more comfortable. Also you'll be sitting next to Dimitri so he can keep an eye on you." Alberta decided.

"Ok." I croaked.

Dimitri picked me up and cradled me to his chest as he walked over to our seats and carefully set me down. A flight attendant brought over a pillow and blanket. Dimitri sat down next to me as I got comfortable.

"What's going on with Rose?" My mom asked angrily.

"Let's talk over here so she can sleep." Alberta beckoned my mother over to a different seat.

Everyone else settled down in their seats again. I closed my eyes, begging for sleep so this damn headache went away. I rested my head against Dimitri's shoulder. The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was Dimitri whispering "Sleep well my Milaya."

A few hours later Dimitri was waking me up. "We're here." I noticed right away that my headache was gone and my vision was clear. I got up from my seat and stretched. Dimitri was watching me closely, worry written all over his face.

I turned to him and said, "I'm fine Comrade. Seriously, I'm all good now. It was just my Shadow kissed symptoms biting me in the ass." I looked around us to find the plane empty. I leaned over to give him a soft kiss. Apparently the kiss wasn't enough for Dimitri. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me right up against him and gave me a long passionate kiss that left us both breathless.

"I was worried about you," He breathed.

"Like I said, I'm fine now." I said, stroking his cheek.

"Come on, everyone is waiting for us outside."

Dimitri and I stepped off the plane and on to the tarmac. We walked over to the group and waited for someone to notice us. Christian was the first one to see us.

"Finally! What took you two so long?" He crossed his arms and asked us accusingly.

"You know Rose. It takes awhile to wake her up." Dimitri replied. Christian and Eddie burst out laughing. I glared at them. I then punched Dimitri in the arm.

"ROSEMARIE! Apologize to Guardian Belikov! NOW!" My mother yelled at me.

"It's ok Guardian Hathaway. She doesn't need to apologize." Dimitri said. He turned his face towards me and winked. I bit my lip to suppress my grin.

"Are you ok now Rose?" Lissa asked me before my mother could say anything else.

I smiled at her. "I'm fine now Liss." Despite my words I could still feel her worry for me.

"Now that that's settled, listen up! We have rooms reserved in guest housing which is where we stayed last time. Eddie and Christian you are in room 134." Alberta threw them two sets of keys. "Rose and Lissa you will be in room 137.

"Now the Marking Ceremony will be tomorrow at 7 in the evening. So until then, you are free to do what you please. And if you need one of us, we will be in the rooms upstairs." Alberta finished saying.

I ran to Lissa's side and looped my arm through hers. "Shall we?" I asked.

"We shall!" Lissa laughed.

We grabbed our bags and headed to guest housing. Eddie and Christian ran to catch up with us as we walked to our rooms. Lissa started chatting excitedly trying to decide what we were going to do.

"Maybe Adrian can get us into one of the exclusive parties! We should definitely visit Ambrose before tomorrow Rose, get all pampered and dolled up..." By that time we reached the boys room for which they looked grateful for so they didn't have to listen to Lissa's constant chatter.

"We'll catch you in a little while." Christian said, giving Lissa a small kiss and then followed Eddie into their room.

"Come on Liss. Let's check out our room!" I dragged her a few doors doors down to room 137. Lissa gave a squeal of excitement as she unlocked the door. I studied the room as we walked in. Next to the door was a small kitchenette with granite countertops. Beyond the kitchenette were two queen sized beds with a sitting area and a fireplace. Above the fireplace was a huge flat screen tv. I dropped my bags at the door and ran and jumped on one of the beds. I rolled around all over the bed to mess up the sheets. Lissa watched me with her hands on her hips.

"Are you having fun?" She asked.

"Yes! You should do it too." She rolled her eyes at me.

Lissa's phone buzzed before she could respond. "Christian and the guys want to go swimming. You in?"

"Hell yes!" I yelled excitedly.

I ran to where I left my bags and grabbed a couple swimsuits to try on. It took me ten minutes of debating and listening to Lissa yelling at me to hurry up to decide. I chose a little black bikini that just covered the essentials. I was secretly hoping Dimitri would see me in it.

We met the boys in front of their room and all walked together to the pool. The pool was located at the main lobby of guest housing. Waiting in front of the pool doors for us was none other than Adrian.

"What are you doing here? I would have thought you would be at some party getting drunk or visiting your Aunt." I commented.

"Nope. I decided I'd rather spend time with you." Adrian said with a smirk.

"Gee, don't I feel special!" I said sarcastically.

"Ok. Why don't the rest of go in while these two bicker back and forth." Lissa suggested.

I followed Eddie in. As I was passing Adrian he whispered in my ear, "You should feel special Little Dhampir." I rolled my eyes and kept on walking.

When I took my clothes off and revealed my bikini, every male in the room zeroed in on me and drooled. Some even wolf whistled, I kid you not.

"You look hot Little Dhampir." Adrian said, coming up from behind.

"Thanks."

I turned to all the guys still ogling me and said "Take a picture, it will last longer!" I ran to catch up with my friends.

I had the room all to myself after I got back. Lissa was off doing who knows what with Christian. I decided to take a nice hot shower to get the gross chlorine smell off of me. Grabbing a clean towel and some fresh clothes I headed to the bathroom.

After my shower I dress in a tank top and jeans. Once I exited the bathroom, I stood in the main living area and contemplated what to do. Everybody is out doing there own thing and I am all alone. I go and sit down on the couch and grab the tv remote. I flip through the channels and find that there is absolutely nothing on. With a huff, I throw the remote down and just sit sulking. I decide to take a short nap to pass the time. I just get settled on the couch when there's a knock on the door. I open the door to find Dimitri standing there.

"Hi." I said.

"Are you alone?" He asked.

"Yeah. Lissa's off with Christian. She'll be back later. Why? What's up?" I ask him. I noticed that as I talked, Dimitri kept looking around to make sure no one was around.

"Can we go talk somewhere?"

"Sure."

I grabbed my key and phone and walked out. Dimitri took my hand and started walking down the hallway and towards the stairs. We took the stairs two at a time and ended up on the second floor. Dimitri stopped at a door marked 244. He produced a key and we walked in. I realized I was in his room.

His room was the same as mine and Lissa's except there was just one bed. Dimitri sat on the couch and patted the spot next to him. When I sat down he took my hands in his.

"I was worried about you today." He said.

"I'm really ok Comrade."

"I know. I think Tasha was upset that she couldn't sit next to me." He said.

"Aww, that's too bad for her. Not for me though." I said with a devilish smile.

Dimitri locked eyes with mine. I could see affection and love in them. He was gently massaging my hands with his thumbs. I realized then that we were in a room, all alone, no one to disturb us, and a nice comfy bed at our disposal. I could tell Dimitri realized it too because he grabbed me at the waist and pulled me to him until our lips touched. The kiss started slow but quickly turned deep and steamy. Our tongues tangled together as I straddled Dimitri. My hands went to Dimitri's hair, taking out the ponytail. I could feel him getting hard underneath me. I rubbed myself against his bulge making him moan loudly in my mouth. His hands went up to my chest and gently squeezed my breasts through my shirt. I reached for his shirt and quickly took it off exposing his ripped chest. We broke the kiss so we could breathe. Dimitri looked at me with lust and desire.

"Roza..." He breathed.

Dimitri picked me up and carried me to the bed. He laid me down gently and climbed up on the the bed so he was hovering over me. I could feel every line of his body against mine. Dimitri lowered his head to kiss along my jaw and down my neck to my collarbone. In a matter of seconds he has my top off and across the room. I grab the zipper of his pants and struggle to unzip them, distracted by Dimitri's heated kisses. Finally I manage to get his zipper down and his pants off just leaving him in his boxers, which are straining against his erection. I rub my hand up and down his length on top of his boxers. Growling, he grabbed my pants and yanked them off, his eyes roaming up and down my body. I pulled his boxers off letting his erection spring free. He quickly got rid of my bra and panties, both of us naked at last.

With his hand he cupped one of my breasts, squeezing and massaging my nipple. He took my other one in his mouth, licking and sucking it. Then he switched his attention to the other one and did the same thing. I grabbed his head and tangled my hands through his hair. He traveled down my stomach trailing kisses the whole way until he got to my sex. Dimitri started rubbing the insides of my thighs all the way up to my clit. Using the pad of his thumb he rubbed circles around my clit eliciting loud moans from me. With his other hand he stroked the folds of my sex, soaking his fingers with my cum. By this time I'm panting heavily and clawing at the sheets. The next thing I know Dimitri inserts a finger into my pussy, pumping it in and out in a fast rhythm. One finger became two and two became three. I bucked my hips up to meet his fingers and I started to feel a tightening in my stomach.

"I'm about to cum!" I panted. He lowered his mouth to suck on my clit as his fingers pumped in and out of me. That's what did me in. I felt a burst of ecstasy all throughout my body and my stomach uncoiled as I fell from my high. Dimitri laid down next to me and gave me a passionate kiss.

I rolled over so that I was straddling his waist. I kissed down his chest all the way to his large cock. I knelt down and took his hard member in my hand stroking him back and forth until I saw pre cum on his tip. I rubbed his tip spreading the pre cum on my thumb. I leaned down and licked the tip of his cock, tasting him. Then I took him in my mouth until I almost couldn't breathe. I began sucking and swirling my tongue around him. Dimitri started rocking his hips back and forth and holding my head in place. I could feel him tense around me and his cock practically vibrating in my mouth. But before he could cum he pulled me off of him and lifted me up and laid me down next to him and kissed me fiercely.

"When I cum, I want to be inside you!" He said huskily.

Dimitri laid me on my back and climbed on top of me placing his cock at my entrance. Dimitri proceeded to slam into me with a groan. He thrust in and out at a slow pace drawing out the experience. "Dimitri, faster! Harder!" I begged him, digging my nails into his arms. Giving me a tense smile he slowly slid out and then slammed hard into me. I lifted my hips to meet his, tired of his games. He sped up his pace slamming into me so hard I'm sure he filled me to the brim. I didn't mind though, because It felt so damn good. I could feel my insides tightening once again. Knowing I was about to cum, I dug my heels in for impact. The next thrust was my undoing. I screamed his name as I felt him spill into me. Utterly spent he collapsed on top of me and after he caught his breath he pulled out of me and rolled onto his back.

"Wow...just wow." I said.

"I know."

I rolled onto my side and propped myself on my elbow. "Did you know this was going to happen when you brought me here." I asked.

"I was hoping it would" He said sheepishly.

"So was I." I told him softly.

We leaned in at the same time for a kiss. We passed the afternoon enjoying just being together.
