I made it through the back door and up to Dimitri's room without meeting anyone' which was just as well because the fewer witness's to me sneaking into my mentor's bedroom, the better. He had left his door unlocked for me, but when I opened it he had his back to me. I shut it quietly and I knew that he was aware of my entrance, but he still hadn't turned around.

"Dimitri," I whispered into the silence. He turned towards me and I could see the conflict in his eyes. I know he hated breaking rules and potentially getting the both of us in trouble, but I wasn't letting him back down this time. I walked over to him and grasped his hands in mine.

"Dimitri Belikov, I love you," I told him as I smoothed the worry lines out of his forehead. "Don't you love me?"

"You know I do Rose." he replied.

"So show me…" I knotted my fingers in his hair and pulled his head down to my level before kissing him. Whatever reservations he had flew out the window because he kissed me back with fervor.

"I love you Roza, so so much," he breathed, his accent thicker then ever, and I felt as if my heart might explode at the feeling. He wrapped his hands around my waist and hoisted me up so I could wrap my legs around him; much like he had done outside, but instead of using the wall as leverage he put his hands beneath my bottom. From this position my face was higher than his so he had to tip his head back to kiss me, and though I was severely conscious of my wet lake water hair falling in his face, but he didn't seem to care.

Things were quickly getting more and more heated and soon he walked us back to the bed and laid me down upon it.

This is it, I thought. Finally I'm going have sex with Dimitri. He must have been thinking something similar to me because he started to struggle with my wet tee shirt, trying to pull it over my head. With a little help from me we managed it and I began to work on his.

Soon enough, we were both lying there in only our underwear and I felt severely unsexy. I was wearing a soaking wet red sports bra and some mismatch blue underwear, with my hair falling stringy and wet around my face. I was sure I smelled like crap from that nasty lake water too, but Dimitri was looking at me like I was like the sexiest thing he'd ever seen.

He sat up, eyes raking over me so that he could slide my underwear down my legs and toss them on the floor, quickly followed by my wet sports bra.

With a deep breath, I reached to pull his boxers off. This was the first time I would be seeing him naked while he had seen me naked the night of the lust charm. It didn't seem fair.

Now that we were both completely naked, we couldn't keep out hands off each other or our lips away from each other's skin. After a few more minutes of kissing and caressing, Dimitri pressed himself against me and I knew that we were ready to take the next step. He pulled back to look me in the eye, yet I knew what he was asking without him saying the words. I nodded in response, letting him know that I was ready.

"It will probably hurt," he warned me.

"I know," I told him, remembering what Lissa had told me about her first time, "I don't care."

And he kissed me again as we became one.

It had hurt, but not nearly as much as I had expected and the pain had been easy to ignore. When it was over though, my hips ached from my legs being around Dimitri's waist and supporting his weight for the last half an hour, but it had been amazing. At times it seemed as if he had forgotten how to speak English and the sound of my Russian name sent chills down my spine.

"Oh my god," I whispered as I flopped back onto the bed and pushed some hair off of my now sweaty forehead. Dimitri rolled off me and pulled me to his chest.

He whispered something in Russian and I looked at him questioningly.

"I said, 'oh my god is right," he explained.

I pushed myself up on my elbows to look at him. "Why weren't we doing this before? I hold you responsible because I'd never had sex before so I had no idea what it would be like, but you knew. Why were you holding out on me?" I accused.

"Trust me when I say I had no idea it would be like this," he said with a chuckle.

Despite my words, I knew that it would have been wrong at any other time.

"I never thought I'd be covered in lake scum my first time," I mused, "bet no one else can say they've done that."

Dimitri laughed and said, "Well you always have been unique. I never expected to make love to someone covered in lake scum either."

"Which reminds me," I said, "We should most likely shower now because not only are we covered in lake scum, we're now also very sweaty."

Dimitri clutched me to him tighter. "Later," he whispered, "I don't want to let you go yet." So I snuggled down into his chest and he pulled the blankets over our naked forms.

After a moment of blissful silence, Dimitri spoke. "You know, I had wanted to wait until your birthday so it wouldn't have been quite so illegal," he said as he turned his head to bury it in my neck.

"We could have," I whispered back, not wanting to disturb the amazing calm that had settled over the both of us. "I would have understood. I probably would have bitched at you about turning me down again, but I would have been okay."

He turned to look at me with his eyes burning, "I wouldn't have been able to turn you down this time if I tried."

"Why's that?" I asked with a smile, "because I'm so sexy in lake water?"

He chuckled, but shook his head. "No, actually it was because of our talk outside. When I realized that you loved me as much as I loved you, I knew that there would never be anyone else for us. And in the long run, what does it really matter if its now or two weeks from now?"

"It doesn't matter one bit," I told him.

He looked thoughtful for a moment, "well, except for the fact that my romantic plans for your birthday have now been ruined."

Sitting up, I leaned over him with an open mouth. "Were you going to try and seduce me, Dimitri Belikov?" He just gave me a small smile. "I would have been a very willing participant," I continued, "and I think we can still put those romantic plans of yours to good use."

Eventually when we did get up and shower I could have gone back to my dorm, but I didn't want to leave. So I decided to skip dinner, ignoring Lissa's calls through the bond and fell asleep, naked in Dimitri's arms.

We woke the next morning to Dimitri's alarm blaring through the room. He groaned and rolled to smack it off. Even though we were still both naked I didn't feel self conscious. I started to stretch, but immediately stopped when I realized how sore I was.

"Ow!" I moaned.

"What's wrong?" Dimitri asked.

"I'm sore in places I didn't know could be sore!"

Dimitri laughed and apologized. "I'm sore too," he pointed out.

"What? Why are you sore?"

"Pleasing you is hard work," he said with a dry chuckle as he tapped me on the nose, "and I'm out of practice."

"Oh really? How out of practice?" I asked.

"Well, for the last 6 months I've been in love with you, and for the 6 months before that I was working at this place trying to find you."

"So it's all my fault?

"Yes."

"Good!" I said as I leaned in to kiss him again.

"Mmm, Roza," he murmured, "As much as I'd love to stay here with you if we don't go to practice Alberta will come looking for us."

"Alright," I sighed as I climbed out of bed, "Kick me out why don't you."

"You know it's not like that, Rose" He said as I hunted for my clothes.

"I know," I said, "I'm just messing with you." To my dismay, all my clothes were still soaking wet. If I had hung them up over night they probably would have dried by now, but I had been a little distracted.

"These are nasty," I told Dimitri, "I am not putting these back on."

He smiled at me and dug around in his drawers before pulling out a tee shirt and a pair of shorts for me. "Don't let anyone know where you got them," he said as he handed them, to me with a kiss. After I had dressed, Dimitri checked the hallway to make sure it was clear for me to leave and with one last kiss, I took off sprinting towards my dorm, clothes in hand, hearing as Dimitri called after me, "Don't be late to practice Roza!

AN: So what did you think? Rose finally lost her virginity and it was my first lemon so, firsts for the both of us. Did it go well?

Review and let me know!

Cheers,
