D POV
"W-what. Did you do?"
She crossed her arms over her chest giving me a smirk before she shrugged and lightly said "Now you know how it feels"
I was awestruck. I didn't know what to lay my eyes on. The books that were out all over the floor, my trophies lying ruined on the floor or my book burning in the fireplace.
MY BOOKS ARE BURNING IN THE FIRE PLACE!
Before I could think I was running towards the bathroom hoping to find something so I
Could put out the fire fast as hell!
But I froze as I entered the bedroom.
Pillows all over the place, looking to my left I saw all my clothes scattered all over the floor, the flowers lying in a puddle of water slowly soaking my clothes.
I couldn't focus on that now as I ran into the bathroom where the chaos was also struck. Towels all over the room on the floor everywhere. I could smell my soap lingering in the room.
What had she done in here?
I dropped all my thoughts as I saw a bucket in the corner of the room running for it filling it with water.
Running back into the living room I poured it in the fireplace as the smoke spread all through the room.
I could hear Rose cough moving around and suddenly the smoke started to disappear as I realized she had opened a window.
Fanning the smoke out of my face I tried to see if my books could be saved. But a growl left my lips as I saw that both the water and the flames that now were out ruined them.
I threw the bucket across the room turning around facing Rose.
"What the fuck did you do?" I yelled shooting daggers at her. She just shrugged meeting my gaze.
"Are you insane? You ruined my suite!"
Her eyes narrowed, "You ruined my life"
I groaned as I buried my face in my hands.
"Feel free to clean up the mess" She said and my head snapped up. She was looking at me like it was nothing.
My patience was wearing thin, "Rose I swear that I'll kill you if you don't-"
"What a mess!" Tatiana's voice cut me off. Both of us turned around towards her as she stood in the door way into the living room.
"Dimitri you better have this cleaned by tomorrow night" Tatiana said giving me a look raising her brow at me.
"But it was Rose who-"
"Oh shush, I need Rose right now so she won't be able to clean all by until tomorrow night"
"But she did this-"
"I don't care," She said having me pinned down by her eyes. "I need Rose over at the tailor five minutes ago. You have to fix this on your own Dimitri" Tatiana said waving towards Rose, "Come along!"
Rose met my gaze before she moved towards Tatiana and disappeared out in the hall. I clenched my fists as I met Tatiana's gaze again.
She tilted her hear to the right and sighed "I'll send a few maids to clean this up" She turned to leave but stopped. "Dimitri?"
"Yes?" I sighed feeling like I've had enough of everything in this life.
"Be nice to her, she wouldn't do this without purpose"
"How do you know-"
A small smile spread on Tatiana's lips, "We're very a like, be a gentleman tomorrow and look out for her. There will be a lot of traitorous bastards around tomorrow"
I frowned as she disappeared. Was she talking about tomorrow night's ball?
I didn't even know Rose was going...
As if on queue my father arrived only raising a brow at the mess and me. I groaned, "Don't even mention it..."
He shook his head and sighed before he spoke, "I was just in a meeting with my advisor and he thinks that you should stay with Rosemarie and show her off more publicly, that way the people will find you more serious. You will escort her tomorrow night at the Ball Tatiana has arranged"
"But father she's-"
"No But's!" He said firmly. "And clean up this mess" He snapped before he disappeared again.
I exhaled deeply, what have I gotten myself into?
R POV
I was following Tatiana as she guided me towards the sowing workroom. I didn't even know why I was coming I just followed.
She told me to undress and get up on the small pedestal on the floor that made me come off as higher then I really was.
Standing in only my undergarments I first felt a bit uncomfortable but there was only Me in the room. All of a sudden the room swarmed with seamstresses and lastly Tatiana and Stan entered.
"Get her the corset" Stan said to one of the maids before he returned to talking in hushed tones with Tatiana.
I could only make out a few words. "...Grand...dress... Red...amazing!"
"She will look amazing, I've putting my soul into this dress" Stan said almost looking upset with what she'd said, only I don't think he would show it to her in person...
Mia came forward with a corset and helped me put it on. She and another maid helped one another to lace it up and I gasped for air one moment when then where pulling the strings.
God I hate corsets...
When they were done I saw something red in the corner off my eye.
"Don't look!" Tatiana warned me. I looked away quickly.
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"It's your ball dress"
I turned around but seeing her glare I turned back grimacing slightly not wanting to make her angry with me.
"Ball dress?"
"I'm arranging a ball tomorrow night in the Belikov honor and thought it would be fitting for Dimitri to present you to some dear friends"
My eyes grew wide as I stammered, "Friends?"
Tatiana smiled, "Nothing bad will happen dear, It'll just be some good publicity for Dimitri to the people since he soon becoming king and all. Having a pretty girl on his arm will help him. You're more than just a pretty girl but to the cold world out there having you on his arm will make good rumors about Dimitri spread, and that will do him good"
I just nodded looking into the mirror as I stood there in my corset and underwear. At least I won't have to marry the guy...
To busy thinking I barely noticed the maids coming with something big and red in their hands. It wasn't until it pulled over my head as I realized it was a dress. My dress.
The maids worked quickly putting the dress on, making sure it was set correctly as they made sure all my assets where pronounced in a delicate way.
I was starring on my own reflection.
The bodice was in a red I've never seen before. It was a soft not quite deep red but it was very beautiful and Romantic. Medium thick stripes were sown along one another into a very classy pattern across my chest and stomach creating a beautiful contrast with the simple skirt. (Pic on Profile)
The shoulder straps where the off shoulder type which looked very tasteful on me. Showing off my quite large chest and yet showing my thin waist made the siluette beautiful and I could look at myself in the mirror all day.
I really did look like a princess.
My brown curls falling over my shoulders blended nicely with the red on the dress. It was perfect.
"It's perfect!" Tatiana exclaimed also taking me in! "She almost looks royal!"
"Almost?" Stand snorted, "She looks royal, she could be the queen of any land out there"
Tatiana snickered, "I'm just teasing you, It's just the hair and the small details left and she will look amazing"
I turned around meeting their gazes, "So I'm wearing this tomorrow night?"
"Yes dear" Tatiana said, "I'll pick out some jewelry to go with it and well make you a princess by seven tomorrow night" She came closer so only I could hear, "And I know my nephew won't be able to take his eyes off of you. No man will be able to take their eyes off of you and that's even better! The more looks you get, the more jealous Dimitri will get and the more protective of you he will get. Just don't get too happy with his way of acting. Dimitri can be very... how do I say this nicely?"
"Possessive? Overprotective? Crazy?"
Tatiana laughed, "Don't be silly, now off to bed! I want you ready for a bath at ten tomorrow and then we'll have all day together getting you ready"
"It'll take all day?" I asked raising both my brows at her. She smiled sneakily, "Of course it will. I will make you my master piece and that will take its time"
Pulling me out of bed at half past ten since I wouldn't get up at ten Tatiana and the other maids threw me into a steamy hot bath washing my hair and scrubbing my body. Mia was laughing as I got soap in my eyes and I wasn't very pleased with the whole situation of not being able to wash myself. I felt more handicapped and helpless then happy and satisfied when they were done with me.
After that the set me down my vanity drying my hair and running back and forth asking Tatiana all kinds of questions.
Dimitri had been banned from the room Tatiana said that he would have to find somewhere else to get ready. After what happened last night she didn't want us in the same room thinking that he would only upset me which would ruin the starting on my make up and hair.
Feeling like an old lady as they rolled up my whole hair in curlers it didn't make it better that all I could eat was carrots and cucumber. Tatiana wanted me at my thinnest when we put on the corset, it would make me beautiful.
I wasn't very happy about it because all she seemed to care about at that moment was my body and the way I would look, but she told me later that this was the way her mother had treated her and she had turned out well. I just needed to have some patience. Something I wasn't very good at.
Later I felt like a doll when they put on my make up and taking out the curlers. Pinning some strands up made me look more sophisticated, which was the look Tatiana was looking for since my breasts where doing the job of the more sensual part of me.
Tatiana wouldn't let me leave the suite since she didn't want me to see the decorations nor ruin her "master piece". I sighed, would I be done anytime soon?
"How many hours until the ball begins?" I asked Tatiana as Mia made the finishing touches on my hair.
"In just about an hour you will make your appearance Rose, we should put the dress on soon"
"It's already sic o'clock?" I asked wide-yed. I've been in this bathroom all this time? Jesus, a fancy woman is so picky and takes the longest time ever to get ready.
Tatiana laughed, "I'll go get myself ready and I'll see you down stairs Rose" She turned around about to leave when I called after her.
"Wait!"
"Yes?"
"What do I- I mean how do I do..."
"How do you do what?" She asked looking at me like I was insane.
"How do I act? What do I do? I don't know anything." I said feeling stupid with my hair all done and my make up and all the jewelry in front of me.
I felt her hands on my naked shoulders "You act like the queen of Russia would act"
"And what would she be like?" I asked looking at Tatiana through the mirror.
"What do you think?"
I pursed my lips, "She would be nice and friendly. Very beautiful yet have a very great mind"
"You have all that" Tatiana smiled, "Use it to your own benefit and don't let those men walk all over you" She winked and stepped back. "See you in a bit"
And she was gone.
My eyes traveled over all the bottle of perfume on the vanity. All the different pearls and diamonds laying there. They were all so beautiful and yet it felt so wrong having them all on front of me.
"Don't doubt yourself" Mia's voice said from behind me. I smiled crookedly it was more of a sad smile than a happy one.
"I just don't know how I got into this, if it's even worth the time"
"It is and you'll do great down there. I bet Dimitri won't be able to take his eyes off of you even if he acts like a jerk from time to time he'll be mind blown by your appearance"
I smiled towards her in the mirror, "He always acts like a jerk and second, when I might have his attention I might as well make something good out of it"
Mia laughed, "Don't be too mean, there's lot's of important people down there"
I groaned, "I don't want to go"
Mia smiled, "Yes you do" she moved around to my front, "let's put on your earrings and bracelets and get you into that dress"
I just nodded as she helped me put my earrings on. They were clear diamond earrings that sparkled like the ocean at sunset. The bracelets where smooth gold that hung coldly around my wrists. Putting on a pair of simple black heels Mia helped me into the dress.
Making all the small final touches like perfume, pinning up a few more strands and making sure that the make up was flawless she put me in front of the mirror for a final look.
Wow.
D POV
I was pacing back and forth on the bottom of the stairs waiting to make my entrance to the grand ball that Tatiana had arranged. I was supposed to show good presence and example only it was hard since I was frustrated out my mind.
Roza has been teasing me and playing me all week and I wouldn't have her ruin this night for me. I wouldn't. I don't care if she thinks I'm wrong to me I'm right so there's not much to discuss.
I stopped to take a deep breath taking a look in the big hall mirror. My uniform looked flawless and my hair was tied back into a small ponytail to make me look more sophisticated.
My father thought I should cut my hair but I liked it this way. And so did the ladies!
I wouldn't change it even if he asked me to, my looks is one of the only things he cannot change about me so I'll look how ever I want to.
But I wasn't going to get deep into my thoughts right now. I am the future king of Russia and it's time show the people out there that I'm made to serve my country and to rule it well. It's just the bloody marriage deal my father keeps bugging me about. If he only could let me be and let me find someone on my own. I sighed I'm getting to emotional.
"Dimitri?"
I spun around seeing Tatiana stand behind me in all her glory. Her hair was up in a delicate bun, a large diamond necklace hanging around her neck and her dress was in a deep purple that made her look even more exclusive.
I nodded towards her, "Tatiana"
"Are you ready?" she asked raising a brow at me as I came to stand next to her.
"Of course"
"You look worried." She said looking at me. I licked my lips and shook my head no. I wouldn't tell her about my thoughts.
"I'm your aunt, you can't hide from me"
I sighed again dropping my shoulders, "Fine I'm worried Rose my do something at the ball! She's been embarrassing me all week, this is important to me and I don't want her ruin my reputation-"
"Don't worry about that Dimitri. She won't do anything, I promise"
I narrowed my eyes studying her, "How can you be so sure?"
"Because I'm the queen of England that's why" She said confidently. I was about to argue when her eyes moved past me, looking over my shoulder. A smile spread on her lips,
"She's beautiful"
"Who-?" I asked turning around stopping as my eyes fell on her.
Rose stood at the top of the stairs. Her hair was pinned up, diamonds fitting her ears and fingers. The red color she was wearing was nothing like I'd ever seen before. The bodice hugging her waist as they accented her cleavage perfectly making her look thousands times more beautiful then I could've ever have imagined.
She was walking down the stairs looking at her feet, was she looking at her feet so she wouldn't fall?
Looking at her feet or not she looked suiting for the role of queen of any land in the world. Her beauty was like an aura shining all around her. I was brought out of my haze as Tatiana elbowed me in the ribs.
Rose was standing right in front of me, her eyes meeting mine questionably probably wondering why I wasn't answering her.
"Come again?" I asked clearing my throat.
"I said," said Tatiana shooting me a look, "Don't Rosemarie look stunning?" She raised her brows at me. I swallowed hard before answering, "Yes... she does"
Her eyes met mine curiously after I'd spoken. I don't know why but it felt like she was looking for something. What was she looking for?
"I'll go in first and you'll come right after" Tatiana said as she walked towards the big doors that led to the ballroom.
"And remember," she said catching both our attention, "Be nice"
The presenter called out Tatiana's full name before she entered walking down the half flank of stairs leading to the ballroom dance floor.
Rose and I were standing right outside the door about to get called up.
"Are you ready?" I asked not looking at her.
I could hear her take a deep breath, "Yes" she said underneath her breath. I looked over at her, "Nervous?"
Her head snapped over towards me eyes narrowed, "You don't think I can handle it do you?" she asked shooting me glares.
A small smile spread on my lips as I looked away from her, "It's ok to be nervous"
"Well I'm not" she said looking straight ahead.
My smile grew, "Good"
"Good"
I knew I was getting on her nerves because she actually was nervous only she didn't want to tell me. But I already knew. Hopefully this night wouldn't be that bad after all...
R POV
My heart was racing as I heard the name presenter clearing his throat to call our names.
"Presenting Prince Dimitri Belikov escorting Rosemarie Hathaway"
The doors opened and right the second before Dimitri had caught my arm around his placing his hand on top of mine. I gasped feeling his hot skin on top of mine and a little scared feeling so calm about the gesture.
He started walking forward pulling me along to the edge of the small balcony with a view over all the quests.
A round of applause echoed through the big hall and a small smile went to my lips. Or where you suppose to smile at this sort of event?
"Smile" Dimitri said as he started pulling me towards the stairs.
"I will when you do!" I said looking down so I wouldn't step on my dress.
"I am." He said. I could hear the angrily and when I looked up a warm smile was on his lips. How did he do that?
I smiled back, "I didn't know bad people could smile?" I said sounding fake. He kept the smile on but I could see in his eyes how he shot daggers at me.
"Grow up" His smile faltered a little bit as he said that. I looked away trying to pull my hand away form him but he tightened his grip around it hand and pulled me even closer.
"Don't even think about it"
I looked up at him just feeling angry I spat, "Why won't you just get rid of me to end all of this? Do you really want to fight with me for the rest of your life?"
His eyes met mine and for the first time I saw something different. What was it?
His brow eyes looked gentle and kind, almost loving and it just confused me to a completely other level.
"Ah Price Dimitri, Rosemarie what an honor meeting you both" I was brought back by a male voice talking to the two of us.
"Mr. Petrov, good seeing you again" Dimitri smiled shaking the man's hand.
"The pleasure is mine Dimitri it always is" The man smiles kindly. "I didn't know you've found yourself a girl" He said look over at me.
Dimitri squeezed my hand as he said, "This is Rosemarie Hathaway"
"Rosemarie" Mr. Petrov said holding out his hand for me to take.
I put my smile back on, "Please, call me Rose" I said taking his hand. He smiled kissing my knuckles and let my hand go.
"Rose, you truly should feel blessed to have met such a man as Dimitri. He definitely is something extra"
"Yes he is isn't he" I said through my teeth holding back whatever I was feeling.
"You must meet my wife, wait right here," Mr. Petrov said as he turned around and disappeared through the crowd.
As he had left Dimitri was looking around the room and I thought maybe I could to.
The room was full of people in all types and sizes. I could see old and some younger people. I was surprised when I saw a group of men across the room looking our way. But then again I felt disgusted since I realized they were looking my way. Not at me as a person but as the body that was in the dress I was wearing. I looked down feeling slightly ashamed by the way they were all looking at me.
Hungry gaze, like predators waiting for the perfect prey.
Hearing some giggling some my other side I looked up seeing a group of girls giggling and whispering, as they looked our way. Or should I say Dimitri's way?
To my surprise a small stag of jealousy shot through me.
I mean it's not like there's anything between Dimitri and but they way they all where looking at him where making me feel slightly pissed off. Don't they see that I'm standing right next to him? I'm right here! I'm wearing red and everything, how can they not see me?
"What are you looking at?"
Dimitri's voice broke me out of my thoughts and I looked away from the group of girls.
"Nothing..."
"Jealous of my little fan club?" He smiled looking like he felt pretty good about himself.
"Not if that's the girls you're talking about." I said trying to look like I didn't care.
"Why? Not good enough for you?" He asked. I could hear him getting annoyed that I didn't bother with them.
"No they're just... plain" I said crossing my arms over my chest. After I did I looked away from Dimitri but soon after I felt his hands around my wrist untying my arms.
"What are you-"
"Your little fan club is starting to drool over there." Dimitri said glaring past me. I looked over my shoulder seeing the group of men that looked at me earlier.
"Why? Are you jealous?"
His big hand cupped my cheek to might to others might look like a sweet gesture but to me he just wanted to get in my face.
"Jealous or not I don't want other men starring at what's mine" Dimitri said through clenched teeth.
"Oh so now I'm yours? You're what? I'm your pet maybe?" I asked snapping at him silently.
"Don't do this to me, not now! We'll talk about this later" Dimitri said looking away from me as he took a hold of my hand again.
After we'd stood there in silence Mr. Petrov re appeared with a woman that I presumed to be his wife.
"Rose, Dimitri this is my Alberta" He smiled placing his arms around her waist. The woman chuckled, "Don't be silly Jeremy we're in public" She said removing his arms from her.
"I'm sorry, I'm Alberta Petrov, Jeremy's wife," She said smiling towards the both of us.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Alberta, I'm Dimitri. Jeremy has told me a lot about you" Dimitri smiled.
"All good I hope" Alberta teased. She turned to me, "And who might you be?"
I could see Dimitri was about to introduce me but I could do that on my own.
"I'm Rose Hathaway" I smiled.
"She's with me" Dimitri filled in.
"Oh" Alberta smiled looking a little surprised, "How wonderful! I didn't know the prince had found himself a lady." She said looking over at her husband.
I just smiled not saying anything to that.
Dimitri kept the conversation going for a while but I just stood there in silence.
I didn't really know what I was doing here. I think I was here because it would make
Dimitri look good. And everyone does everything to make Dimitri look good.
The question was what did people see me like?
His future potential wife? Or just his whore for his own pleasures...
Seeing Ivan and Christian making their way towards us I let up a tired sigh. Why did they have to be here?
Dimitri noticed and shoved me just a little silently telling me to stop what ever I'm doing.
I was growing tired of him acting like my parent and me as his reckless little kid.
The Petrov couple left and soon after that Ivan and Christian reached us, "Working the room Dimitri?" Christian smiled taking his one side.
"Yes are you getting along with all the young pretty things in here?" Ivan asked giving him a playful look.
I snorted at that. Of course I'm just his whore, that's all I've ever been.
I could see Dimitri shooting me a glad in the corner of my eye.
"I'm as good as I'll ever be, and the older people really seem to like that I'm with Rose – they think she's permanent"
I don't know if that was some sort of mock but I could hear Christian and Ivan strangle some chuckles.
"At least you have something that's permanent" Slipped through my lips loud enough for him to hear.
"Don't even bother Rose" Dimitri said turning his back towards me.
"Don't turn your back on me, I'm right here and you can't ignore me" I said getting angry.
"Stop acting so-"
"Childish?" I cut him off shooting him a glare. I've had it and it was too much!
I tore my hand away from Dimitri's before I started making my way through the crowd.
I can't believe he just told me that again and in front of people! Or was about to.
Doesn't matter if it only were in front of his friends, someone could've heard.
It was just hurting and wrong for him to say that and I'm not going to let it pass this time.
I walked out in the hall hearing Dimitri coming after me. We were alone. Good! I didn't have the patience to stay silent one more minute.
"Do you really think you can talk like that to me and not expect me to say something back?" I asked looking at him.
"You're overreacting" Dimitri said trying to keep his cool. I groaned, "Why is there no emotions with you Dimitri? Why can't you just stop acting and just be real with me?"
"I am real" he growled as he came closer to me, "I am as real as it gets! So don't you dare tell me what I am and what I'm not!"
"Oh so your hot and cold temper is fine but as fast as I even try to defend myself you say I'm childish or that I need to grow up! That's no fair Dimitri and you know it"
"Maybe if you acted more-"
"I don't want to act!" I yelled raising my voice turning away from him. "I don't want to act or try to be anything that I'm not" I felt my heart go heavy and my breaths go deep into my lungs.
"Why can't you just treat me like any other woman out there Dimitri?" I asked turning to face him. "Why can't you just not talk to me and not try to make me furious with you? What is it exactly that you want with me?"
His eyes didn't meet mine. He was looking away so I could read any emotion on his face. What is it with him? Why is he like this?
"Could you just talk to me?" I asked in a softer voice.
Dimitri's head snapped over towards me and I could see mixed feeling blending in his eyes.
"I can't treat you like any other woman Roza I can't" He said looking at me blankly.
"Why?" I asked feeling that I didn't understand. I wanted to but I didn't.
"Because you're not like any other woman you're much-"
"Trouble in paradise?"
A voice form behind us broke us off as we both turned to see whom the intruder who interrupted us was.
I had never seen him before.
He was tall and slender. Not as tall as Dimitri and definitely not as muscly but there was something lean about his arms. A smirk similar to Dimitri's painted his lips, hands in his pocket he rocked a very relaxed pose as he took steps toward us.
"I didn't know the great Dimitri Belikov finally had caught something and actually been able to keep it from slipping through your fingers"
I was stunned about what he said. Was he talking to Dimitri? The same Dimitri that was standing next to me?
"Who might this beauty be?" Adrian asked giving Dimitri an amused look. I could make out a soft rumbling sound from beside me. Was Dimitri growling?
"Let me introduce myself" The man took my hand bringing it up to his lips, "Adrian Ivashkov, king of Scandinavia"
His lips pressed softly against my knuckles and a frown grew on my face. A smile went to his lips as he met Dimitri's gaze beside me.
Dimitri pushed Adrian back forcing our hands apart putting him between us.
"That's enough Adrian" Dimitri said fiercely.
Adrian just smiled, "Getting protective Belikov? Scared she might run off with me?"
"I'm not afraid of you Ivashkov" Dimitri said fiercely. Adrian laughed, "Maybe you should. We both know who's King and who's not"
"My coronation is just moths away" Dimitri said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Well mine is already done" Adrian smirked. I was studying Adrian from behind Dimitri. He didn't look very threatening but Adrian and Dimitri seem to share a pretty tense past.
Adrian's eyes met mine and he raised his brows, "I never got a hold of your name"
"You won't be in need to" Dimitri said quickly.
"Shouldn't she be the judge of that?" Adrian asked.
I don't know why but the way Adrian acted didn't make me feel good. He seemed so... Evil.
"What's your name beauty?" He asked stepping around Dimitri. I met his gaze but didn't feel good underneath his.
"Rose"
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl" Adrian smiled. The vibe I got from him was that he was all over himself. Believe it or not but I actually liked Dimitri compared to Adrian.
"Tell me Rose, how did you two meet?"
I could see Dimitri tense beside me. He didn't want Adrian to know.
He didn't want Adrian to know that his father actually found me and that Dimitri had done nothing. Was he afraid of Adrian?
"Well?"
I could feel Dimitri gaze on me, "Roza you don't-"
"We met through my friend. Abe" I told Adrian casually. Adrian's brows rouse and so did Dimitri's. I don't think he expected me to lie for him. I don't really know why I did, but I didn't get the feeling that it was wrong.
It felt rather good actually.
"Oh really?" Adrian said narrowing his eyes at me. " I didn't know Dimitri was that type of guy"
Dimitri was swallowing hard. Was he sweating?
"We didn't get along that well in the beginning, but I warmed up to him" I said standing closer to Dimitri. I don't know what I was doing but it didn't stop me form continuing.
"So he didn't have to bribe you? Offer you anything to be with him?" Adrian asked looking amused.
"No" I said shooting him a strange look.
"Buy you?" Adrian grinned.
I could feel fire shot through my veins after he said that. I couldn't stop myself because suddenly I was standing face to face with him shooting him daggers with my eyes.
"I don't know who you think you are Mr. Ivashkov but I am not going to stand quiet when you're call me anything close to whore"
"Feisty" he smiled.
"You can call me anything you'd like but I won't leave Dimitri for you in a million years"
Before he could answer I turned my back to him walking back to Dimitri.
Seeing his surprised face did good for my ego because what I did next surprised him more than it surprised me I think.
Reached for his chin I pulled him down to my height pressing my lips to his. For the first time I took the first step to kiss him and call me what ever you like but it felt pretty good.
His soft lips moved against mine as one of his hands pushed some of my hair back.
I pulled away first but he stole one more kiss before he straightened up again.
"I'll be in our room" I said shooting Adrian a look before I lifted up the front of my dress and climbed up the stairs.
Dimitri will hear about this later. But right now he would have to handle this on his own. It is after all, a Man's, Man's World.
Yeees...
So how did you like Adrian entering the story? What did you think of him?
What did you think of Dimitri's reaction? Was is his right to do what he did?
And what did you think of Rose? Did she do the right thing?
Tell me all about it, like I said, I read every word ;) So please write me some so I can get your opinion !
Lot's Of LOVE
