"Take me to Lissa; She'll look after me," He looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding and leading me towards the Moroi dorms.

When we arrived at Lissa's dorm Dimitri knocked, keeping an arm firmly around my waist so that I wouldn't collapse. I heard a growl from inside, an animalistic one but also very familiar. Checking the bond didn't help much because Lissa has been blocking me all morning.

The door opened an inch and Lissa peeped out, smiling, "Rose, I have a surprise for you!"

"And it growls, I assume." A bark came from inside and I gasped, eyes widening. I pushed the door wide open causing it to bang on the wall behind it and there stood Charity.

Charity was a small house dog, a Maltese to be exact. She had white fluffy fur and gorgeous dark brown eyes; much like Dimitri's only darker. Lissa had named the dog Charity because we got her for free from some lifeline place.

"You have a dog?" Dimitri questioned, clearly baffled.

I laughed, "How the hell did you get away with this?"

"Kirova was feeling generous..." Lissa answered

"Huh." And by generous she meant using compulsion. "Hey road kill!" I cooed, bending down. Animals don't really like Dhampirs very much but Charity was different. We had become close and I saved her life from the PSI hounds in Portland; she trusted me. I always called her mean names and had to put up with Lissa's bitching.

"Rose," she complained. Charity ran up to me, jumping on my legs and licking my hands.

"Hey Char, good to have you back, hm. Miss me?" I got a yap in response, "Yeah. I would have missed me too." Dimitri chuckled and bent down beside me, patting Charity's head, gently.

"I have a shift now," Dimitri told me, standing up and facing Lissa, "Would you look after Rose for me? She got knocked out before and I can't look after her; she refuses to go to the clinic and I have duties." Lissa nodded, "Make sure she doesn't go to sleep for at least ten minutes and give her some panadol. She should be fine but if something happens, come find me and I'll take her to the clinic."

"Gosh, Dimitri...!" I exclaimed.

He bent down beside me again, "I'm just looking out for you Roza." I pulled him into a kiss, our tongues brushing together, softly. In the bond I could feel Lissa's discomfort so I pulled back.

"I'll see you later." I told him; he nodded and left. "Time for bed...!" I said

"Rose, you heard Dimitri." Lissa warned. I picked up Charity and walked over to the spare bed that used to be Natalie's.

"I'm fine Liss." She sighed, giving in and I closed my eyes trying to find some sort of peace as Charity curled up beside me.

"Rose," someone was trying to shake me awake; I groaned, "Rose get up!"

"Go away; I'm sleeping" I mumbled, rolling over.

I heard a chuckle, "Roza come on..." That was enough to provoke me into opening my eyes. There inches away from my face was Dimitri in all his Russian glory.

I smiled slightly, "What?"

"It's late, you slept all day and I'm taking you back to your dorm room."

"Okay..." I whispered, wrapping my arms around his neck and looking at him expectantly. He sighed and caved in, wrapping his arms around me and lifting me off the bed and out of Lissa's room. We were silent all the way back to my dorm and I had almost fallen asleep again but he set me on my feet, in front of my computer desk.

That was when I caught sight of the calendar. It was October 30th, Halloween was tomorrow and no doubt the school would be hosting a party just like every year. I stayed quiet and let Dimitri help me into some more comfortable clothes. As we both lay on the bed and he drifted off into sleep I stayed up all night, thinking off a Halloween costume.

Eventually I fell asleep...

The next morning I awoke early, so early that everyone else would still be sleeping. I rolled over and saw that Dimitri was no longer lying beside me and instead a note was in his place.

Rose,

I couldn't sleep, you kept kicking me.

I've gone back to my room to sleep but I'll see you tomorrow.

Love, D.

It was about three in the morning and I was no longer tired so I decided to put my Halloween plan into action. I headed over to my closet and picked out the sexiest piece of lingerie I owned. It was a black and red corset with plain black laced panties. The outfit was accompanied by thigh high black lace-trimmed stockings and straps hung from the bottom of the corset. [pictures on profile] As soon as I was dressed, I headed to the bathroom and got out my makeup kit.

I used the Smokey eye effect, making them dark and irresistible whilst putting dark crimson red lipstick on. Once I was done, I headed back into my room and grabbed out an oversized flannel shirt from Dimitri's bag that he left here, the shirt covered the corset and panty piece, but still showed off my stockings. I messed up my hair to make me look like I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and then left my dorm.

It was easy to sneak out of my dorm building, especially since I've done it many times before. And it also didn't take long to reach Dimitri's room. I used his key and unlocked the door quietly. Dimitri was asleep, lying on his back with his hands resting on his stomach. He looked so peaceful and vulnerable, too bad I was about to interrupt that.

I padded over to where he lay and carefully climbed onto the bed, careful not to wake him. Once I was straddling him and he still seemed to be asleep I ran my hands down his bare chest slowly. He remained asleep. I smiled and decided to do some further provoking. My hand trailed down to the waistband of his pants and just as I slipped my fingers underneath his hand shot out and stopped mine.

I looked back to his eyes but they were still closed. I bit my lip and moved my hands further, straining against his own. Dimitri moaned and I knew I hit my target because his eyes flew open. "Rose..." he breathed. I smiled as I felt his arousal but that wasn't the best part. Dimitri's eyes raked over me noticing his shirt, the makeup, the hair and the stockings. He moved his hand away from mine and clutched the shirt, slowly lifting it to reveal my skimpy outfit.

"Happy Halloween," I told him, seductively. He let go of his shirt, watching it fall back over the outfit, before meeting my eyes again. Dimitri didn't do anything for a few seconds before smiling; I guess that the disorientation of sleep only just faded.

"Hmm," he replied. Dimitri placed his hands on my hips and pushed the shirt up once more. Once it was over my head his hungry eyes took in my outfit with a lust filled expression. My hand was still in his pants and I could feel how turned on he was getting by the second, my fingers twitched against him and his breath hitched.

His hands ran all over my body and the outfit I was wearing. Dimitri was trying to fight his animalistic urge of just fucking me. I knew that it wouldn't take much to break that fight up so I took my hand out of his pants and leaned down to kiss him.

He returned the gesture gladly and his hands found the zipper on my corset, pulling it down slowly. As he discarded it from my body he found that I was wearing a strapless lace bra underneath, causing him to groan. I smiled against his lips and knew that I had just broken whatever control he had left.

Dimitri flipped us so that he was on top, undoing my bra. The slow and sensual kiss from before had turned hard, passionate and full of desire. He pulled off my bra and threw it on the floor, beside his shirt. Dimitri's hands moved down, brushing against my stomach and down my thigh's, stopping at the lace trim of the stockings. He pulled back from the kiss, wrapping my legs neatly around his waist.

Dimitri's hungry eyes took in my semi naked form, hands moving back up to my bare breasts. Things from there on got a little more heated and soon all our clothes were missing. I was ready for Dimitri but he was trying to hold out as long as he could.

"Oh God Dimitri, just do it!" I moaned; he took one more look at me and then finally, after an hour of messing around, we became one and the roughness of his actions slowly faded into something more gentle and loving. He varied his pace and we were like that for at least ten minutes until suddenly the most wonderful feeling settled over me. Pleasure exploded from somewhere and I was lost in the blissful haze. I was no longer aware of my surroundings but as soon as the waves of ecstasy faded I heard Dimitri moan.

We stayed like that for a while, Dimitri leaning on top of me, breathing heavily. He eventually pried himself off me but kept stopping to kiss me. "Happy Halloween Roza," He finally said with a grin.

A very happy Halloween it was. I thought to myself. Next on my list was Lissa. I wasn't going to seduce her or anything but I had a tradition in waking her up early on Halloween for no apparent reason. "Did you know that Halloween is my favourite holiday?" I asked Dimitri.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me on top of him. "Why is that?"

"Well it used to be because of the costumes and candy but now..." I trailed off, letting my hand run down his chest. He groaned softly and I stopped over his stomach. "I have to go," I said, abruptly.

Dimitri tightened his hold on my waist, "You're not going anywhere just yet." He kissed my nose softly before my lips.

"I have to go before Lissa wakes up," I murmured against his lips. Dimitri had a very faint red smear around his lips from my lipstick and I smiled, licking my finger and rubbing it off. Every time I tried to get up he would pull me back down for a kiss. After five minutes I managed to have my underwear back on but he wouldn't let me up long enough to slip the corset on.

Somehow in the midst of our love making my stocking had managed to stay on. "Please stay..." He whispered into my hair.

I laughed, "I can't Dimitri. Let me go," he still wouldn't budge. "We can do this again later," I promised. He pulled back a bit to look into my eyes.

Finally with a sigh and one last kiss he let me go. I'd like to stay wrapped in his arms but that would have to be for another time. I zipped up my corset and threw on Dimitri's shirt. He watched me the whole time, his arms behind his head and a sheet covering his lower half. I walked over to him and straddled his waist once more, "Are you trying to diminish the self control I just built?" A slight smile crossed his lips.

I didn't answer his question, "Aren't you going to take me back to my dorm?"

"Hardly. It would look suspicious, especially with what you're wearing..." I leaned down and brushed my lips behind his ear.

"Please?" Dimitri was still for a moment and then he moved one arm from behind his head and placed it on my shoulder, pushing me back.

"Alright fine." I climbed off him and he stood up, pulling on his boxers. He then headed over to his closet and grabbed out some black skinny jeans and a white button up shirt. Once dressed, he rolled up his long sleeves three quarters of the way and tucked it loosely into his jeans. It looked really good and I fought off the urge to take him right there.

Dimitri then slipped on his black converse and wrapped an arm around my waist, guiding me to the door. I pulled him into one last passionate kiss before opening the door and checking to make sure it was clear. A guardian was on patrol and I quickly pulled back in, softly closing the door. "Jake is out there." I whispered.

Dimitri nodded, "I'll go distract him and you can go downstairs; I'll meet you down there." I nodded and he slipped out the door.

"Guardian Connelly," Dimitri said loudly so that I could hear.

"Belikov," Jake regarded Dimitri with surprise.

"Why are you guarding up here?" Dimitri asked

"We're over staffed and I was supposed to have a shift so Alberta just told me to patrol this hall. No point really..." Jake was quiet for a moment. "Oh hey, the other day I found Rose uh..."

"What did she do?" Dimitri voice was hard.

"She was trying to choke a royal Moroi." Jake finished.

"Would this be Jesse Zeklos?" Dimitri guessed. I was pissed off that Jake would actually say something and I wasn't trying to choke Ralf it just happened.

"No, it was Ralf something-or-rather."

"Uh huh." Dimitri replied. I chose this as a good time to open the door. Jake's back was facing me but Dimitri saw me walk out. I quickly ran down the stairs and didn't worry about waiting for Dimitri.

When I made it back to my dorm I rummaged through my closet looking for an old Halloween costume and tried to forget about how mad Dimitri will be. As if on cue he opened the door and walked in.

I tried to ignore him as best I could, "Rose I know you heard..." Damn.

"I wasn't trying to choke him," I said, weakly. Dimitri walked up to me but I turned around so that my back was facing him and rummaged through my closet once more.

"What happened?" He said gently, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I walked past them and Ralf tried to put his hands on me so I attacked him. Jake found me after the fight and I had Ralf pinned to the wall." I took a deep steadying breath, "I wasn't trying to choke him, I swear..."

"I know Roza..." Dimitri said

"I wouldn't do that on purpose."

"I know." He repeated. Finally I found the perfect costume and smiled.

"Time to pay Lissa a little visit..."
