Chapter 25

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Academy world and its character.

"OK it settle meet at the bar after the stud show to watch Rose and Keith dance." Taylor said.

"We'll all come." Lissa chimed in with Natalie nodding in agreement.

'Fine you want to bring the press to." Rose said a little irradiated at the whole group. She just knew it would be like adding gas to a fire, when Dimitri saw her and Keith dance together.

"Hey that's not a bad idea." Christian said with a smirk.

"Ahhhhh." Rose reply rolling her eyes.

Finishing their dinner Rose left to go to their room and look in the closet for something to wear. She pick a pair of high waist Rocky jeans Turquoise color and a crop top western short sleeve shirt main back ground color was Turquoise with black horse heads on it, in the back between the shoulders was a heart shape cut out, in front it had a button collar with a heart shape cut out that went from the collar to just above her breast. She put on her black ropers and belt. Rose chose make up using a dark smoky color with a hint of Turquoise in it. Creating a dramatic effect with her eyes, and adding lip gloss, Rose was impress with how it look on her.

She retrieve her Bar 3 jacket and headed for the door as it open and Dimitri walk in.

I seen Roza a thousand times and I still, lose my breath when I see her. As I came into the room all thoughts left my mind except for Roza as she stood standing in front of me awe-inspiring, with her exquisite body that no words can describe. My heart squeezed tightly in my chest. The all consuming, monumental love I felt for this woman could not be contained in this world. As I continued to look at her beautiful body drinking in every inch of her. She look a little confused. I then smiled at her brightly and said.

"Excused me, for starring, but you ...you look … there's not any words strong enough to describe how you look to me." I said with my voice full of love and desire.

"Thank you, and you have no idea how that makes feel inside to know that … that, you feel that way about me." she reply smiling.

I walk up to her and pulled her into my arms and just took in her scent, that is home to me, a comforting, warm feeling that also causes the passion and lust for her to rise. I pulled back and kiss her on the lips for a few minutes, thinking how lucky can I be.

"Are you ready sweet britches?" I smiled down at her as I said that.

"Sure thing cowboy are you ready?" she quiz back.

"No I would rather stay right here with you, but." I didn't finish I didn't have to, not with Roza she knew what I was thinking.

"Later cowboy, we will be a lone again, and then you can express to me those words you seem not to be able to find." she purred in my ear that caused a shiver to run through my body, all I could do was close my eyes and groan in her hair.

She laugh and grab my hand and headed for the door, we headed to where the studs would be and to meet with the rest of the gang.

RPOV

We spent the next hour with the horses and answering, questions about the breed and bloodline with this I could help a little after I had got Rio I did some research on his family tree, so I knew his father bloodline and his mother's to.

As we were finishing up my mind turn to the next thing on the agenda and I really didn't want to think about what could happen it would be nice to dance with Keith again I'll have to admit that we were good and it felt good to ballroom dance again. But as the same time I know how close together we get and the body language we use can be interpreted wrong by others and others I was thinking of Dimitri, I didn't want any more drama between him and I.

We first made our present at the silent auction and watch people walk around and write their names down on a sheet of paper in front of the item they wanted. Out of curiosity I went and check what the picture of me and Rio was up to. I like to have peed my pants some fool was bidding $125,000 dollars was this person nuts. Dimitri look and smiled and shook his head.

So off we headed to the bar when, we arrived I was shock to see how many people was there a full house, As I look around I saw George had a table center front of the dance floor, just my luck.

As I approach the table I saw Keith as he look up he had a huge smile on his face and I am sure it wasn't going to a nice show if he had anything to say about it. I groaned to myself and plaster a smile on my face.

"Hey guys." I said.

Around of hey and hellos echo around as we waited for the rest of the gang.

"Rose I thought we do the last 4 dances we did the last time we dance, if that's OK with you." Keith said smiling.

I thought what had we dance to last and as the memory came I groaned out loud.

"What's wrong sweet britches?" Dimitri asked.

"Nothing, except those songs are pretty, lets just say risk-a." Rose snorted at the thought.

"Just don't get upset cowboy." I warned Dimitri.

DPOV

I was wondering why Rose was so stress out over the dances that Keith had chose although I didn't know what they were yet.

Everyone was here now and Keith address the group.

"OK guys Rose and I will be doing the Cha-Cha to the music of Sway

then a faster Cha-Cha to the music of Sunshine of My Life, the third one will be a Rumba to the music of Temptation. And the last one Samba to the music of Change. OK." Keith smiled at everyone.

Rose groaning as he said the dances they were going to do. I had no clue to what any of that meant.

"Did you already tell the band Keith." Rose said through her teeth.

"Sure did and they know all of them." Keith smiled at my Rose.

As Rose got up she leaned over and gave a exceptional hot kiss and said,"I love you Dimitri." and smiled. I reply back, "Love you to sweet britches now show me what you got." I said and wink.

She look at me like I hope you ready.

(The dances will be posted on my profile page to see how I thought it would look.)

Keith brought out a chair and set it down in the middle of the dance floor and sat in it. The music started and Rose started moving to the beat and straddle Keith she put her right over his shoulder and leaned back towards the floor I could feel the growl starting deep in my chest and feel my blood rise.

"Settle down boy, hell they just started." George said laughing putting a hand on my shoulder.

I didn't bother to answer him nor took my eyes off Rose.

The way she scooted across the floor making her but stick out a little was sure turning me on I hope it did not have the same effect on Keith, he was smiling like a Cheshire cat. Rose move so fluidly and graceful I couldn't take my eyes off her body.

"Man that girl of your can sure move them there hips in a very provocative way man." Kenny said with a husky voice.

"Shut up." I growled. The table busted out laughing.

They went right into the next dance.

Oh Lord I am never going to make it with out ripping Keith in to pieces. They move to the music like they were one person it was amazing how they could move and be so in time with each other. If it wasn't my Roza out there I would have enjoy the show.

The way she moved was crazy and hot and when he spun her around and land her on his knee I swore I seen his hand on her chest. I started to get up and George grab my arm and shook his head. I sat back down and sigh loud. If the last two dances were anything like these I'll never make it. Oh man the way she move her legs was mind blowing. My jeans just kept getting tighter.

The third one was twice as worst as the others ones, but I notice that Rose was watching me when she could. So I told myself she was only dancing for me and I was getting in to it and even smiled back at her with a slight mischievous grin on my face. She had notice and wink at me. Yea that song had it right I couldn't resist her she was my temptation. Man oh man I was having to move to get comfortable in my jeans I wish I had wore a little baggier pants tonight man.

The last dance, she dance over to our table and shook her chest at me and I growl at her causing her to laugh. She knew exactly what she was doing to me and she was loving it. They dance by the table several times and she gave me a seductive smile that melted me. Her feet never miss a step and when they were in a spooning position and moving their bodies, I could imagine how that would feel and that just... thank God it was over. I could settle down maybe.

"Man I know what you two will be doing tonight." George said laughing his ass off.

"Not funny man, not funny at all, cause we aren't in the room yet." I groaned.

"Best show ever." Eddie said laughing.

"Watch it Eddie." I warned.

'I am not talking about Rose man, I was talking about your face it was priceless." he laugh again.

"Oh brother." I said rolling my eyes.

"Damn she is really good." Christian stated.

"Yea, to damn good." I mutter as I tried to find a better position in my chair.

While I was watching Rose dance I hadn't notice April had walk in and was seating at the bar watching me. Mason leaned over and said.

"Don't look now but trouble just walk." following his eyes I saw her. She smiled a big smiled and wink at me. That's the last thing I need right now. I turned away quickly and rolled my eyes and shook my head.

Rose walk back over to us and came up to me and seat on my lap. She was hot and sweaty and had no idea what she was doing to me, just seating on my lap.

"Well I warned you didn't I." Rose crowed and then kiss me.

"Yea you sure did, but I would have never dream of seeing dancing like that and by you." I said musing.

Still trying to caught her breath. Keith spoke up and said, If you think that's good you ought to her her sing." he chorus.

"You sing to Roza." I ask.

"Yea, I use to." she said.

I thought there was a lot about Rose I didn't know nothing about, interesting things to I was going to have to do more questioning of my wife in the future and see what else she can do. A devilish grin cross my face.

"Do I even want to know what that look is about." Rose titled her head looking in my eyes.

"Probably not sweet britches." I chuckle and kiss her on her forehead.

I had notice that Rose and Keith performance only took 25 minutes to complete, wow all the emotions that were running through me I would of swore it been hours.

"Hey Rose do a duet with me "When I said I do"." Clint ask begging Rose to.

"OK only if you guys get up and sing to and she look around the table Brad, Mason, Taylor, Christian, Pavel and Eddie said no way wasn't enough behind the bar to get them up there let alone sing.

"I will later before we leave, maybe if we have time." I told her she just look at me kind of funny.

So her and Clint went up on stage. They were handed mics the music began and.

Clint

These times are troubled and these times are good.

And they're always gonna be, they rise and they fall.

We take'em all the way that we should

Together you and me forsaking them all

Deep in the night and by the light of day

It always looks the same, true true loves always does

And here by your side, or a million miles away

Nothin's ever gonna change the way that I feel,

The way it is, is the way that it was

Rose turn her head and look straight in the eye. I could see she was singing from the heart just to me and her voice was amazing, like an angel. She slightly close her eyes at the I do part I felt a lump in my throat.

BOTH

When I said I do, I meant that I will, 'til the end of time

Be faithful and true, devoted to you

That's What I had in mind when I said I do

Clint

This old world keeps changin', and the world stays the same

For all who came before, and it goes hand in hand

Both

Only you and I can undo, all that we became

Clint

That makes us so much more,

Rose

So much more

Clint

Than a woman and a man

Clint

after everything, that comes and goes around

Has only pass us by

Both

Here alone in our dreams

Clint

I know there's a lonely heart , in every lost and found

But forever you and I will be the ones

Who found out what forever means

As she does parts she only look at me and smile.

And I smiled back at her.

Both

When I said I do, I meant that I will, 'till the end of time

Be faithful and true, devoted to you

That's what I had in mind, when I said I do

Clint

Truer than true

Both

You know that I'll always be there, for you

Clint

That's what I had in mind

Rose

That's what I had in mind

Both

When I said, I do

And the bar exploded with applause and cheering, whistling. And was screaming more, more, more.

Clint whisper in Roses ear and she nodded and he walk off stage.

When she look back to me I saw hurt and sadness, I was confuse until I felt a present next to me. I hadn't even notice April was now sitting in Rose's chair. She turn and said something to the band. And then turn around and lock eyes with me and sang her heart out to me.

I listen to the words like my life depended on it. Not paying April any attention.

Rose began to sway slowly side to side.

I've never done anything

That would every bring a tear to your eye

I've never crossed the line

Or needed an alibi, to cover up a lie

But darlin I'll admit

There been times when I could have

The only that kept me strong

Is the one thing that is always on my mind

She extended her hand towards me with the next words. The words hit close to home when a misunderstanding almost cause me to lose her.

When I think about cheatin'

I just think about you leaving'

And how my world would fall to pieces

If I tossed your love away

Even when I'm tempted by some stranger

Oh there's never any danger, I just think about you leavin'

When I think about cheatin

There was a time in Abilene

When he said all the things I wanted to hear

It was hard to turn him down

Between the champagne and the sound of whispers in my ear

But it just took one, two-step with someone, and I was missing you

He never had a chance, cause I broke up the dance

Before the song was through

I still saw sadness in her eyes.

"George trade me places, please." I said. He look around me and just nodded and got up and swap places.

When I think about cheatin'

I just think about you leaving'

And how my world would fall to pieces

If I tossed your love away

Even when I'm tempted by some stranger

Oh there's never any danger, I just think about you leavin'

When I think about cheatin

I saw Rose smile and I knew it was alright for now.

And When I'm tempted by some stranger, Oh there's never any danger

I just think about you leavin'

When I think about cheatin

And the bar went into another frenzy.

"I'll sing one more and that is all, thank you." she said with a smile.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Cattle Baron Ball, here in Billings, Montana. All the way from Wyandotte, Oklahoma, Its Rose Mazur.

The band leader introduce Roza.

The crowd clapping and yelling. Rose went to walking across the stage swaying to the music.

Well I' m one bud wiser, than I was a minute ago.

I found an equalizer, that makes his memory, a no show.

And I won't be jonesin' for his lovin' anymore,

Cause I 'm one bud wiser, than I was a minute ago.

I ease out of my seat and went up next to the stage leaning against a post, with my beer in my hand and she was looking at me and I just started to tap my my foot and moving my head from side to side to the beat of the music. And she went to swaying as if she was dancing with me.

I dropped a quarter, played Golden Ring, on the jukebox. (thank you)

Placed my order, with the guy behind the bar.

And when he handed me a cold one, well I said, "Keep the change, Darlin'."

Rose gave me a big smile and winked.

And as I drank it down, I felt the healing start.

Well I' m one bud wiser, than I was a minute ago.

I found an equalizer, that makes his memory a no show.

And I won't be jonesin' for his lovin' anymore,

Cause I 'm one bud wiser, than I was a minute ago.

When he left me, he took my brand new silverado.

I started laughing and shaking my head at that.

I started thumb-em' and I finally hitched a ride.

I just came in here, to drink a beer, and watch the rednecks fight.

Now I don't feel so bad goin' home, alone tonight.

I pointed at me and then her and mouthed your going home with me.

She look at me and nodded her head yes and smiled.

Well I' m one bud wiser, than I was a minute ago.

I found an equalizer, that makes his memory a no show.

And I won't be jonesin' for his lovin' anymore,

Cause I 'm one bud wiser, than I was a minute ago.

And I won't be jonesin' for his lovin' anymore,

Cause I 'm one bud wiser than I was a minute ago.

Yes I 'm one bud wiser.

"Thank you, Thank you very much." she said to the crowd.

"Wow let's hear it for Rose you all." one of the band member's said.

She shook hands with all the band and I heard them to her, anytime she wanted to sing come on up. She thank them, but said she had enough for one night.

And I handed her my beer and she took a drink and smiled.

"Damn woman you can sure sing, and you can sing to me anytime you want." I laugh and wink at her as I wrap her up in my arms, and headed back to the table.

As we near the table I notice April was still there, so I sat in the spot that George had swap with me and brought Rose down on my lap and wrap my arms around even more. Every one complemented Rose on her singing and she said thank you.

I listen as,George and all the other singers, told her anytime she wanted to go on the road and sing with them, she was more than welcome.

"Would you all quite trying to steel my wife from me." I said jokingly.

This got April stirred up big time and she said.

"What you asshole you didn't tell me you were married." she screamed.

"If I remember right, you didn't give much time to talk at all, with you talking I never got to tell you that I was married and that I wouldn't be coming to your room that day we were talking." I said hatefully.

"Fuck you." April spitted out and raise to leave.

Rose raise from my lap before I could stop her and walk over to April and I heard her say.

"Don't you ever talk to my husband like that again and if anybody if going to fuck him, It will be me." Rose said and push her backwards.

I reach out and grab her hand and pull her back into my lap and nuzzle my nose into her neck at the same time the bouncer's came over and told April to leave.

She turn to me and nuzzle into my neck and started kissing and sucking on my neck and I groan not meaning to, but I just couldn't help it and that earn around of laughing.

We sat and drank about 3 more beers, listening to the band before leaving, to go to our room.

When we arrived back at the room I was good on my word on showing her just how much I loved her. Until the wee hours of the morning. We fell to asleep in each others arms.

Be sure to review and tell how it was. Debbie
