Chapter 14 - Heel for heel, Toe for toe

Rose and Dimitri had been training non stop for weeks. The more they trained the better Dimitri got. He moved as though he were made to hunt strigoi.

Sparring with Rose was the highlight of Dimitri's training. He endured the weights and and the running and the reflex exercises, all so he could get to the pinnacle of his day - sparring with Rose.

When they started out, Rose would take him down every time. Easily. After a couple of weeks, Dimitri took Rose down for the first time. That brought him more pride than he was willing to admit.

As his training furthered and his skills advanced, Dimitri learned how to read Rose's body and anticipate her moves. Soon, Rose had to mix it up just to keep him from handing her her ass.

But, inevitably, as their training progressed, Dimitri beat Rose more and more often.

Apart from the obvious merits of their daily training sessions, there was an additional bonus to their sparring. Rose and Dimitri workouts were always hot and sweaty and more often than not ended with a need for release.

Which was the case in the session today. After Rose got an elbow to the stomach, she kneed Dimitri thigh. They had been going at it for a while, both of them covered in a fine sheen of sweat. Neither was keeping score but they were fairly tied, for now. That is until Rose slammed Dimitri to the mats using her own body weight.

Straddling his hips, Rose practically groaned, "I want you so much right now".

Dimitri flipped them over, pinning Rose. "Me too", he emphasized this by pressing is bulge to her core.

Rose moaned. "Take me now".

"Here?" Dimitri questioned. They were in one of the smaller training rooms in the basement, and classes were in session upstairs, so the floor was pretty much theirs. Dimitri glanced to the entrance, "The door isn't even locked".

Rose grabbed him through his training shorts. "Right here. Right now". She left no room for argument.

Rose pulled Dimitri down to her with her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. She kissed him roughly, loving his weight on her. When Dimitri thrust his hips again, Rose pushed him back on his heels and turned her back to him.

Dimitri knew exactly what she wanted when Rose got on her knees and pulled her yoga pants and panties down to her mid thigh. He pushed his pants down just enough to pull out his already engorged package.

The particular training room Rose and Dimitri were currently occupying was small. It was also the one with mirror wall. So when Dimitri grabbed his cock in his hand and teased her folds with his tip, Rose saw everything in the reflection. It was one of the sexiest things she'd ever seen and only made her want him more.

She mewled. "Stop playing with me and fuck me already!" Rose demanded impatiently.

Their eyes locked in the reflection of the mirror wall. The twinkle in her eyes spoke volumes. Dimitri answered with an impish grin as he pushed himself into Rose's wanting crevasse. Without pause, he started a pace that was fast and furious. He had a firm grip on Rose's hips as he pumped into her from behind.

Rose loved watching Dimitri fuck her. Her moaning and and his grunting, along with the sound of their bodies grinding together, filled the room. It was like watching porn while having sex. Only this porn was starring her and her Russian god. She felt disgustingly turned on and sexy and dirty and satisfied all at once.

"Harder!" she demanded.

So Dimitri thrust harder.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Harder!"

That's when Dimitri smacked Rose's ass. Hard. Maybe too hard. Dimitri froze.

So did Rose.

The room went quiet. Eerily so.

While their sex wouldn't be considered gentle, they'd never gone so far as a spanked bottom. Dimitri's hand just smacked Rose's perfect ass without a conscious thought on his part. Even if he had thought about it before, he'd never have deliberately done it, and certainly not that hard, without discussing it with her first.

After a pregnant pause, Rose spoke just above a whisper, "Don't stop". Dimitri was still frozen to the spot, so Rose wiggled her ass a little. "Dimitri, don't stop", she repeated.

Dimitri swallowed hard before he began to thrust again. This time gently.

"Harder", Rose said to Dimitri's reflection with a smirk.

Dimitri obliged. When his pace and his thrusts returned to what they were before, Rose murmured, "Do it again".

Dimitri didn't need any explanation on what it was. In the spirit of Prince's Bride, which they watched a few days ago, he simply answered, "As you wish", and spanked her ass again.

"Oh, god", Rose quivered, though it wasn't as hard as before, it was pleasurable all the same.

Ever few thrusts, Dimitri added a light slap to the ass. Within a few minutes Rose was completely coming apart, screaming.

After seeing Rose cum in the mirror and the look of euphoria on her face, Dimitri let himself go, releasing in Rose with an orgasmic howl.

Barely able to hold himself up, Dimitri pulled out and put his piece away. He tenderly kissed Rose's now pinkish cheeks before rearranging her clothes as well. They lied on the mats, still panting.

"Well", Rose huffed, "That was different". She tried to hide her smile, covering her face with her hands.

Misunderstanding her, Dimitri was concerned maybe they'd taken it too far. Leaning up, he apologized, "I'm sorry Rose. I didn't mean to be that rough, I don't know what came over me".

Hearing the distress in his voice, Rose pulled her hands from her face. "Dimitri", she was a bit at a loss for words. Was she supposed to admit she like that? That is was amazing? How could she?

"Don't apologize", Rose decided Dimitri was more important than her own embarrassment. Besides, if she didn't tell him how much she like it, how the hell would he ever know to do it again? "Hey, look at me", she said when she realized Dimitri could barely make eye contact. Cupping his cheek, she continued. "Please don't be sorry. I actually really liked it, in case you couldn't tell by my screaming", she smile at him, making sure this was sinking in. "You don't have to be gentle with me. I'm not a porcelain doll, I won't break. I want you to lose yourself me, like I do with you. No holding back".

"I don't want to hurt you", Dimitri said despondently.

"I won't lie. That stung. But it was also incredible".

Dimitri looked surprised at her choice of words. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying we should do that more often", she smile. "Not every time", Rose chuckled, "but that definitely wasn't a one-off thing".

"What if I take it too far?" Nothing scared Dimitri more than causing the woman he loved pain.

"Then I'll tell you", she reassured him. "And you'll listen. And if you don't listen, then I'll tell you mother. Maybe she can still kick your ass". Rose was laughing at her own joke.

And while it did lighten Dimitri's mood a bit, he was now upset for a whole other reason, "Why did you have to bring my Mama into this?!"

That only made Rose laugh harder. Despite himself, Dimitri laughed as well.

Rose had been on lock down for 8 whole weeks when Alberta called a general meeting. All teams were assembled, every slayer, every moroi, every human, in the branch was in attendance. Even Abe was there for some reason.

"Since there have been no signs of any unusual threat", Alberta was referring to Jeanine, "we are going back to business as usual. Of sorts. Rose will return to active duty with her team". Rose nearly did a back flip from joy.

"In addition, we are gaining 2 additional slayer". As soon as Alberta spoke those words, the room filled with gasps and whispers. Even Rose had no idea what this was about. Were the hell were they going to get 2 slayers?

"Olena Belikov has decided to retire as a guardian and return to the ranks of the sisterhood". There was as round of applause.

Dimitri had no idea Olena was even contemplating coming back to the sisterhood.

Rose sought out Abe's gaze, wondering if he was on board with losing his primary guardian. An answering wink mollified Rose's worry.

Alberta carried on when the room quieted again. "As for the additional slayer, I'd like to formally welcome Dimitri Belikov as a slayer to the sisterhood. Let's give him a warm welcome".

No one was more surprised than Dimitri. He'd been working his butt off but he was never given an indication when his training would be complete.

Rose clapped excitedly, their friends whooped and whistled.

When Alberta silenced the second round of applause. "As a novice slayer, Mr. Belikov will be joining Rose Hathaway's team to complete his field training. Thank you for you time, this meeting is adjourned".

Dimitri was overwhelmed by the news. He gripped Rose's hand for comfort. Usually he didn't mind being the center of attention. Not that he sought it out, he just didn't mind one way or another. But he wished he'd received this news in a more private setting.

Slayers and other members of the sisterhood all made their way over to their newest member with congratulations and good lucks. The grip he had on Rose's hand tightened indicating to her that he wasn't letting go any time soon. Dimitri was in such a daze, he didn't realize he was being pulled away by the arm until he was in the elevator alone with a worried Rose.

"Breathe, Comrade".

Dimitri let out breath he didn't know he was holding till it left him in a loud whoosh. Before the elevator reached their floor, Dimitri asked, "So what happens now?"

"Now", Rose smirked, "we go hunting".

"Dimitri, relax", he heard Sydney in his earpiece over the roar of the crowd in the bar. "You're doing great. Just remember, you're backup tonight".

"Yeah, comrade", Rose chimed in. "You gotta trust us. If I need anything I'll holler".

They'd gone over the plan several times. It was hunting as usual. Rose as bait, Lissa and Sydney running surveillance from the van. The difference tonight was Dimitri was in the field backing up Rose, in case she needed it.

Since Rose was the bait, Dimitri and her needed to keep their distance. He was shocked at the number of men that hit on Rose so blatantly. Some of the lines they were feeding her, which he heard through the coms, were so horrible that the was surprised Rose hadn't punched anyone yet. They all disgusted him till he remembered he had hit on Rose at the bar in a nightclub not so long ago.

"Did I sound like those assholes?" Dimitri asked in the coms before he downed his shot. He did need to blend in, after all.

"Yes", Lissa and Syd teased in sync.

"Don't listen to them", Rose interjected. "You are nothing like those creeps". After a pause, she added, "Besides, you are hot as hell. I'd've jumped your bones even if you did sound like them".

"That's gross Rose!" Lissa chastised while Dimitri chuckled.

"Anyways", Rose continued, "comrade, haven't you noticed all the women who were trying to throw themselves at you?"

"What women?" Dimitri feigned innocent. He definitely noticed. He just chose to decline to all their advances politely.

"Alright, shut up", Syd warned, "or else people are going to think you're talking to yourselves".

Rose and Dimitri shut it but not before they exchanged a mischievous glance.

"I can't believe my first night out was a bust!" Dimitri grumbled in bed later that night.

"Hey, every night no one dies, I consider a success", Rose countered.

"I know. It's not that I'm looking for death or mayhem, but I've been working my butt off and just want to start doing some good".

Rose smiled knowingly. "You wanted to see some action".

"A little", he answered, a tad bit ashamed.

"I promise there will be plenty of other nights where we'll slay and fight and maim", Rose said soothingly. "But for tonight, you're not a fighter, you're a lover". She leaned in a kissed him.

Dimitri kissed back, and for the rest of the night he indeed proved to be a lover, not a fighter.
