I opened the jewelry box slowly, my heart pounding like crazy. When I opened the box completely I was so shocked. My jaw dropped and my eyes welled with tears.
"Dimitri…it's so beautiful." I carefully pulled the charm bracelet from the box it made a soft tinkling noise as I lifted it.
"Is this the charm bracelet I looked at on our trip in that cute little boutique?" I dashed away a tear that had escaped my eye.
"Yeah, it is. I saw you looking at it and I just had to give it to you. I was going to give it to you sooner but a lot has been going on." he smiled wide and ran his fingertips over my cheekbone. "Do you like it?"
I grinned like an idiot. "I love it Dimitri!" I held it up closer to my face looking at each charm individually. Nestled in the middle between a silver Rose and a cowboy hat were two charms that stood out; An 'R' and a "D" in fancy scripted letters, The R had tiny little diamonds scattered over it so it glistened and shone, and the D was silver too, but it had a rough almost worn look to it, it was masculine but beautiful, they suit us to a "T".
I thrust my hand out to Dimitri gesturing for him to put it around my wrist. He obeyed quickly. I threw my arms around his neck and squeezed him tightly. "Thank you Dimitri, I love you so much. Our lives are finally starting to get normal."
This peace and joy I was feeling with Dimitri almost felt too good to be true. But before I could think too much else about it Dimitri was pinning me under him and letting his god-like lips loose on my sensitive skin.
2 weeks later my eyes fluttered open from a restful and peaceful sleep. My body was wrapped around Dimitri's his arms trapping me against him like a vice. I nuzzled my chest into his chest and sighed contently my fingers running over the supple skin of his broad chest as it rose and feel in a slow steady rhythm.
'Buzzz….Burrr….buzzz…burr….' I looked around the room for the source of the noise. I spotted my phone on the bedside table; it was slowly revolving as it vibrated. I reached out to answer it but Dimitri's arms where too tight around mine to fight him. I sighed and gave up; they'd ring back if it was important.
The phone stopped ringing and didn't ring again so I settled back down against Dimitri's warm body. We were both naked so even the slightest movement of our skin connecting shot shock waves through my body.
Watching Dimitri sleeping his face so peaceful and vulnerable, his lips parted and his brown hair splayed around his face on the snow white pillow, he looked like some kind of angel, or accurately…a god.
I sighed and brushed my fingertips over his soft full lips, before I replaced them with my own lips. Starting off just caressing them against his till my senses were overwhelmed by him, I sucked on his lower lip drawing it into mine and nipping softly against it.
Dimitri's placid lips suddenly began to return my passionate kiss then after a minute or two his eyes opened slowly a smile playing in his gaze. I pulled back reluctantly, catching my breath, my elbows resting gently on his chest.
"Mmm I will never get tired of waking up like that Roza…" His voice was still husky with sleep, or something else. His hands slid down my bare back causing me to shiver then he slipped his hands under the sheets till his fingers were tracing patterns on my bum achingly slowly.
I snuggled myself closer to him, slowly kissing along his jaw; then down his neck, continuing down his sternum, along his rib cage then down into his belly button. I scooted my butt into the air so that I could continue my kisses, Dimitri's hand staying firmly plastid on my posterior.
I continued to slowly kiss lower, when my lips reached the jutting bone of his hips I met his gaze across his body, his eyes filled with realization and he licked his bottom lip slowly causing my stomach to clench.
"Roza, you sure…?" he whispered, the question hanging in the air, I knew he didn't want me to do anything I was uncomfortable with. I was so glad I had waited for Dimitri; he was such a patient and kind lover.
I placed myself between Dimitri's legs pulling the blanket over myself so I was hidden. I felt Dimitri shift nervously underneath me, and suddenly I was glad he couldn't see me, I was nervous as well, despite what the male Moroi population said at Snt Vlad's I had never gone further than second base with any man other than Dimitri, I was a little afraid I was going to do something wrong.
Dimitri's hands soothed slowly over the skin on my back relaxing me, I started kissing his thigh trailing my lips slowly up, my fingers reaching to stroke his member, I heard Dimitri's soft gasp and it egged me on, flattening myself between his legs I took him in my hands firmly, I placed my soft lips around him.
Just as I was about to take him completely the door to our bedroom crashed open with a bang, I pulled away instantly. I heard Dimitri make a noise similar to a grunt. I pressed myself as close to Dimitri's legs as I could.
"Belikov, why aren't you answering your phone?" It was Lissa, I froze my heart literally stopping. What should I do? Should I stay here and pretend like I'm Dimitri's abnormally large limbs or should I just pop out and practically declare to the world what I was just about to do.
"I called yours and Rose's phone, where is she?" I could tell that Lisa was still standing in the door way, obviously it was awkward for her with Dimitri laying there topless. I felt Dimitri tense under me, this time for a very different reason.
"She's gone for a run." he stammered his voice breathy.
"Why didn't you go with her? I thought that's what got the two of you going, that and punching each other." this time it was a male who spoke; Christian. Oh just…fuck, I was going to die of embarrassment.
"Christian really? All of this going on and you're still joking around." Lissa said her voice sounding strung out.
"Queen Vasilisa what is wrong? What's happened?" Dimitri had gone into guardian mode, I had too under my blanket fortress, not that anyone could tell or anyone other then Dimitri knew I was there.
"It's Adrian and Sydney." her voice quivered lightly and my blood froze. No. something can't have happened to them, it was Palm Springs for god sake no Moroi would willingly go there! "They were attacked by Strigoi. Led there by Lee Donahue." I could hear the lump of tears in Lissa's voice; I really wanted to comfort her.
Suddenly I pieced together what Lissa had said, weird face number 1: strigoi in Palm Springs, Weird fact number 2: a Moroi leading strigoi to another moroi and a 'human' willingly? What the hell? I knew Lee was a creepy little fucker but why would he do that?
"Why would Lee do that?" Dimitri asked. It was almost like he read my mind. I could feel Lissa's fear through the bond; I could tell she really wanted me there to comfort her.
"Lee was turned when he was 15." she said barely over a whisper. "After spending awhile as a strigoi he was turned back 5 years ago by a spirit user." I felt Dimitri sit up a little pulling the blanket up with him as he did.
"That doesn't make any sense Rose said he was only 18, or barely 19? And why would he still be working for the strigoi?" I could hear the anger mixed with curiosity in his voice.
"Apparently according to Lee, he said that he aged slower since he was changed back, but I wouldn't put my money on him, he is about as reliable as Wikipedia." this time it was Christian who answered.
"Curious…but why would he help them? Surely like I did he realized what a monster he had become?" his voice had an edge of sadness laced in it, I stroked his thigh softly pressing my lips to it and letting them linger.
"No, the complete opposite, He was outraged that he was turned back, he loved being a strigoi. All those murdered we have been hearing about around Palm Springs, that was him. He even killed his own cousin Tamara. He wanted to become a strigoi again."Lissa shuttered as she spoke.
"The first one he tried to drain her but it didn't work, then he started cutting them necks but nothing was working, he was trying different races before we got involved with him he killed a moroi and a human, then last week they found a dead dhampir nearby." I shuttered, I now realized why Lee was being so creepy to me. He thought my blood would turn him strigoi.
"So if he already killed and tried with a Moroi why did he take Adrian?" Dimitri asked.
"It wasn't Adrian they were after Dimitri…he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time." Sydney… she was an alchemist, a little bit more than human, they must have wanted her.
"Is-is she okay?" Dimitri whispered, I could tell that he was scared, he knew how close Sydney and I had become.
"Yes she will be okay, so will Adrian, the two strigoi drank from them both and banged them up a bit but Eddie saved the day. They are all dead, Lee included the strigoi killed him trying to awaken him." Lissa sounded tired. "Lee was planning on turning Jill into a strigoi too." She whispered so softly I'm not sure if we were supposed to hear.
"I'm glad they are okay, are they going to be coming home now?" He asked. Lissa let out a loud shaky sigh.
"No but we are going to get another dhampir out there to stay with Jill, a girl this time so she doesn't ever have to leave her side, and um Dimitri…"Lissa trailed off, I could feel nervousness, anger and guilt coming off her in waves.
"We think that there is something about those who have been strigoi before or maybe spirit users that cancels out the strigoi 'virus'." Lissa sounded like she was giving out horrible news, but what she was saying was good, maybe we could stop people from becoming strigoi.
"What is it Lissa?" he asked his voice soothing and calm.
"You're going to Palm Springs too, along with Sonya. You two and Adrian are going to find out what it is that stopped Lee from becoming Strigoi again." I froze. Dimitri was leaving me again. I felt him freeze too.
"Surely we could do all of that here, we wouldn't have to leave?" Dimitri was still using his calm voice.
"I'm afraid not, you leave tomorrow. I'm really sorry Dimitri, I know Rose is going to be mad but I have to think of my people they need this, we need to stop the power of strigoi, and I need to show everyone that i'm not to young to rule, you have to go, and you can't tell anyone, well other than Rose, this is your duty as a dhampir." Her voice was strong and confident, but I knew inside it was killing her to say those things to Dimitri, to pull us apart when we only just got back together.
"That's a bit brutal Liss, surely we can work something out." Christian said smoothly. But without another word she left, Christian sighed softly and followed after her.
After a second I pulled the blankets back and looked up at Dimitri, he was looking down at me his eyes filled with sadness, sadness I'm sure matched mine.
"Roza…I don't want to leave you." He whispered before pulling me into his arms where he buried my face in his chest. "We are supposed to be looking for a house together, We are supposed to start out fairy tale romance without all this trouble and pain."
I looked up at him cupping his cheek. "No matter where you are Dimitri our love it like a fairy tale, you're my prince and I love you. I'm sure you won't be gone long, or you might not even have to go. We will figure something out." He lent his face into my palm and kissed it lightly.
"I don't think I could sleep without you beside me anymore Roza you're my dream catcher, you keep away the nightmares." He whispered. Me either. I thought to myself. Me either Dimitri...
There.. What do you think of the new Queenly Lissa, doing what is right for 'her people' even if it could hurt Rose?
