Dimitri's POV

Not long after we had finished our cake fight, everyone except for Abe, headed back to my room. We all needed to shower. Christian gave Lissa a quick hug before he went to his dorm room. Rose's eyes were absolutely sparkling. As much as she teased and made fun of Christian, she really did care about him. She was happy he was getting along with Lissa so well.

I sat on my desk chair, not wanting to get cake on the bed. "Lissa, you should go shower first," Rose told her.

Once Lissa was in the bathroom, Rose came and sat down on my lap. She leaned back against my chest. I felt like we could sit like that forever. Lissa had to have taken at least a thirty minute shower. Viktoria was starting to fidget. She had volunteered to stand so she wouldn't get cake on anything. When Lissa had finished showering, she came out of the bathroom.

"I'm going to go talk to Christian if that's alright with you Rose?" She asked uncertainly.

"Definitely Liss. Have fun… But not too much fun," Rose warned her with a wink.

Lissa groaned and rolled her eyes. She walked out of the room. "Vik, you've been so patient. You should shower next so you can sit down," Rose told her.

Viktoria obliged. The second she was in the bathroom, Rose turned her face towards mine. I saw the question in her eyes and I leaned down to answer it. Our lips met in a passionate kiss. I could see she wanted to do more than kiss. I wanted to do more than kiss, but I knew I couldn't. When I found out today was her birthday, I thought it was her 18th. I don't know if I will be able to make myself wait a year. I don't know if I'll be able to make myself wait a couple of minutes.

Luckily, Viktoria finished her shower than and popped her head out the bathroom door. "Figures you guys would be all over each other the second you are alone," she said rolling her eyes. "Rose, the shower is all yours."

Rose gave me a quick peck on my lips before she headed into the bathroom. When the bathroom door closed behind me, Viktoria turned to me. "Are you planning anything special for her birthday?" Viktoria asked with a knowing look in her eyes.

"I can't," I said sadly.

"Why not. Not that I want to think about my big brother having sex, it's gross. But it's obvious you both want it," Viktoria pointed out.

"She's seventeen Vik. She's a minor. And… I can't believe I'm talking about sex with my baby sister," I said putting my head in my hands.

"It doesn't matter that she's seventeen. No one will find out. Even if you do something stupid like break up with her, Rose still wouldn't tell anyone. She wants this Dimitri. She loves you and you love her. Now what's really holding you back?" Viktoria demanded.

I stared at her shocked. How the hell had she figured out something else was bothering me? "It's… it's nothing," I muttered, not looking in her eyes.

"Dimka," she said. Her tone quite clearly said cut the BS and tell me what's bothering you.

I sighed. "I don't know how to say this. I mean… She's a virgin Viktoria. A virgin. I… I don't want to hurt her. And what if I'm not enough. What if I make her first time awful because I'm not good enough?" I asked her.

Viktoria studied me curiously. "Dimka… Are you a virgin?" She asked me curiously.

I could feel the heat flooding to my cheeks. "Vik, where did that come from?" I asked her, playing dumb.

"You were just rambling like you have never had sex before. Everyone who's had sex knows that no matter the person, sex is enjoyable," she said to me matter-of-factly.

I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. "Vik… Have you had sex before?" I asked her slowly, trying to control my temper.

"You know? I think I'm going to spend some quality time with Lissa. Give you and Rose some alone time," she said. She practically ran out of the room. I was too shocked to move. If I found out who had sex with my baby sister, I am going to kill them. She's fifteen for crying out loud. Who has sex at fifteen?

I stared at the floor while I waited for Rose to get out of the shower. She came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. When I saw her, my eyes widened. "Sorry, she said apologetically. "I left my clothes in here." She pointed to the pile of clothes on my bed.

"It's alright," I said. I was still upset about Viktoria.

"Dimitri, what's wrong?" Rose asked, walking over to me in a towel. I guess I am more important than clothes. I had to keep myself from smiling. I could definitely get used to that idea.

"Nothing. Just something Viktoria said," I told her. "No big deal."

Anger flashed in Rose's eyes. "What did she say? I'm going to kill her for upsetting you," Rose said annoyed. She started to walk towards the door, but I got there first.

"Rose. Really it's okay. You really can't go kill her right now," I told her.

"Why not?" She asked pouting.

"Because as much as I enjoy the view, you are only in a towel and I think there are a couple of things that the guys on the floor might be surprised to see you have," I told her.

She looked down at her towel like she only just realized she was in a towel.

"Why don't you get dressed while I take a shower," I suggested.

She glanced at me and I couldn't make out her expression. She shook her head. "Nope. I think I'm going to wait here just like this if you don't mind," she said as she walked over to the bed.

She plopped down on the bed and I gulped. I ran into the bathroom, trying to compose my thoughts. She's seventeen, one part of my brain warned me. So what? I love her, the other part of my brain argued. I thought about Viktoria's words. She wants this Dimitri. She loves you and you love her.

Just like that I made up my mind. I took the world's quickest shower. I kid you not and walked back into the bedroom only in a towel.

Rose was lying on my bed. She grinned and sat up when she saw me. I could see her eyes taking in every inch of my chest.

I went to sit next to her. "So will you tell me what your sister said that made you so upset?" Rose asked.

"She pretty much told me she had sex," I said, unable to hide the outrage in my voice. "Who would have guessed that my baby sister would have had sex be…" I trailed off, not finishing my sentence. I didn't want Rose to know my younger sister had sex before I did.

Rose's eyes looked at me in the way that makes me feel like she's seeing through to my soul. "I knew she had sex," Rose said while she was staring at me.

I looked at her shocked. "You… What?" I asked her shocked.

"The first day we were here, we were talking getting to know each other. I was teasing her. The second she found out I loved you, she kept making gagging noises at me. So before she started grilling me about my life, I said, 'I wonder what Dimitri would be like in bed,' just to annoy her. She told me, 'probably like any guy.' Well I told her that wouldn't really help me, because I've never had sex before. And she told me she did and that…" Rose trailed off with a shrug.

"And what?" I asked.

"And that she thought you were a virgin too," Rose admitted not looking me in the eye. "She said you were the type of person that was too busy with school to be fooling around with girls."

"And what did you say back to her?" I prodded.

"Nothing," Rose said, still pointedly avoiding eye contact.

"Rose," I warned.

"I told her that you were too good-looking for your own good and with your godly good looks, you probably had hundreds of girls trying to get in your pants," she mumbled under her breath.

I understood every word she uttered. I couldn't stop myself. I started laughing. Rose turned to me, her eyes shooting daggers at me. "I'm sorry Rose, but my sister was right," I said when I had calmed down.

Rose's eyes widened. "You're a…" She trailed off.

I nodded and turned my serious gaze to her. "But I'm ready to give that up. I know I've finally found the perfect girl to do it with," I told her seriously.

Just like that, Rose threw her towel to the ground and wrapped her arms around me, crushing her lips to mine. This was going to be a fun night.
