Chapter 11 - Last make out session

"Rose, what are you doing here?" Liss asked returning to her office desk, and she sounded a bit disappointed.

"Hey. Just checking out the file for the Council meeting." I answered being casual.

"Rose, you've been off duty for an hour now; you should be packing stuff or meeting Dimitri, not working. What's wrong with you? And don't say 'nothing'!" She sounded frustrated.

"Liss, it's really nothing; I am bit stressed that's all." I tried being evasive, but know Liss enough that she would not except nothing.

"Rose, come-on now, don't be stubborn; accept that you are nervous. I told you not to hurry. There is no need to propose and then get married in a week. Dimitri is understanding; he would do anything for you." Liss was repeating her advice.

I just hate when others want me to act according to them.

"Liss, we already had that discussion, I am not delaying my wedding and that's final," I said, being confident.

"Then what's bothering you? You can talk to me!" She was really concerned, I get that, but how do I explain my issues? She has so much to take care.

"Liss, I'll tell you, but you can't laugh." I could only hope she wouldn't this was funny; it's pretty serious to me though.

"Rose, just spit it out," Liss said, getting irritated.

"Well, truth is that, I'm regretting my 'No sex till the honeymoon' proposal." I replied sheepishly.

"Oh, now I get it. That explains why Christian is complaining of a very z Russian," she said, smirking.

"Well, what can I say? I am the one responsible for this offense." I shrugged, responding sarcastically.

"Rose, it's not fair. Now go and at least have a make out session. I want to relax in the flight; no bickering from you and Dimitri," she chastised me.

"Yes, Your Highness. Anything else?" I bowed with a curtsy, knowing exactly how to tease her.

"Actually, yes. Guardian Hathaway, we are leaving for Baia within an hour, so don't be late and come with properly packed luggage. Now you may leave." She ordered with dignity.

"Yes, my queen." I left her office giggling.

It's been four days since we are back to Court from Lehigh and all the time either I'm checking files or making schedules with Hans.

This is too frustrating. Whenever this kind of mess occurred to me, I would head to gym and loose my frustration on a punching bag or practice dummies, but now I can't even do that. I miss my workout a lot, specifically now as Dimitri is doing it daily and I can't join him.

The day we were back I made that stupid proposal for 'No sex till honeymoon' but promised him to join him in the gym, and I regret that a lot now. I forgot that I can only do laps now and so every morning I forced myself to work extra in desk job to compensate while I would be on leave, and so can excuse myself from gym. Dimitri seemed suspicious about it but couldn't dwell on it a lot since Christian was working hard for his Self Defense Classes and needed Dimitri all the time.

We only talked at lunchtime, because in the evening I would do my laps, satisfying myself for not doing any physical activity all day.

But now everything is gonna be okay. Soon we would be airborne to reach Baia, then I and Dimitri will get married.

I'm not known for squealing but every time I think of me marrying my Russian God is exciting, and just imagining how he would react on the news of being father is beyond limits. I just can't wait to tell him.

Control Rose, control.

I mentally chastised myself because every time I think of Dimitri and the baby I loose it. I want him to hold me and comfort me; to say sweet nothings and promise that he would be with me all the time.

I miss my Comrade. I know he is not far away on a mission, but still. I would do anything to be in his arms right now, hell just to see him.

So I just ran to take my luggage from my room, which I quickly packed yesterday, and headed towards Dimitri's dorm room.

When I got there, I saw him locking his door and about to leave. I caught him in a bear hug. I felt complete in his embrace. So content in love, his cologne, his touch—everything.

"Roza, Roza.."

Dimitri was murmuring my name like prayer. I know these couple of days has been very hard for him and I intend to make it worthwhile in near future, but for now heavy make out session is the only way to satisfy the desire. So I pulled back to look in his eyes. Love, lust, and need all clearly visible, and I know that my eyes would be reflecting similar emotions.

Thus I crashed my lips to his. He gave in to the kiss immediately, his tongue invading my mouth possessively, and need for more crystal clear. I felt dizzy with that amount of passion and love that I had to pull back for air. We were panting hard, but never broke the eye contact. Silence felt comfortable but I wanted to hear him; his voice soothes me better than anything else. Still I continued, I can't stop myself from kissing him more. This time it was gentle and comforting, our body's spoke of their own way, completing a puzzle.

After few moments, we just enjoyed being close to each other, I had my legs wrapped around his waist, hands crossed across his neck. His one hand was on my ass, supporting me, holding me close to him. The other hand was in my hair, his fingers gently messaging my scalp.

"You know this your last make out session with Rosemarie Hathaway," I whispered against his lips, confusion creeping his relaxed state clearly visible plus I could feel him tensing.

"Easy, Comrade. I only meant that your next make out session will be with Rosemarie Belikova," I said smiling and was instantly rewarded with his loving grin, love shined brightly in his eyes. We shared a smoldering kiss, never wanting to leave this moment. Then, out of nowhere, I heard someone clearing their throat nearby so pulled back to look for the interruption...

"Are you love-birds ready to fly out now?" Adrain's voice boomed with enthusiasm.

Sydney looked uncomfortable to interrupt us, and poor Declan confused. The sight of my friends never felt this irritating until now.

Dimitri was flushing red and soon put me down with one of his arms draped possessively around me. On the contrary, I was shooting daggers towards Adrain.

"Lord Ivashkov, you better have a good reason for interrupting an auspicious love exchange between an engaged couple?" I asked him with grinding teeth.

"Little Damphir, I do have my reasons. I was volunteered to make sure you two keep your hands to yourself until the wedding— by Olena and Janine. They bribed me pretty well for this," he replied smirking.

Dimitri visibly gulped hearing his Mama plan all this, but I knew my way out. I am not going to sit alone in flight.

"What made you think that I can't double bribe you?" I asked with attitude.

"Really, Rose?" Adrian was expecting something drastic but I know his weak spots very well.

I loosed myself from Dimitri's embrace and went on my tiptoes to whisper in Adrain's ear, so low that only he can hear.

"I would consider you being Godfather of my baby."

This shut him down completely, he was grinning a knowing grin, waiting for the miracle.

Sydney and Dimitri seemed angry for being kept out of the loop.

"Mom, how come Aunt Rose can shut Daddy this soon?" Declan asked, amused by our exchange.

It made me laugh, but I didn't miss a very pissed off Sydney going outside, dragging confused Declan with her, and a worried Adrain following her on her heels.

"What did you say, milaya?" Dimitri asked a bit jealous, I wish I could tell him the truth though.

"It's part of your surprise, Comrade," I replied casually.

He caught me in a kiss, one full of passion and love, which made it more difficult for me to hide the surprise.

"You better have a good reason for the delay, Roza, a really good one," he warned me.

"I'm pretty sure of this one, Dimitri." I assured him once more by kissing his worries away.

Then we left to catch the much needed flight.
