Court had been an absolute nightmare. The royals there treated Christian like he was a plague sent to destroy their lives. And because Lissa stood by him telling everyone this -just like with his parents- was not his fault they all treated her just as badly. It was a good thing we had only been there for three days or else I would have been the next one on trial.

I had talked to Tatiana about Tasha, I knew any sane person would not have done the things she had. So I asked Tatiana to persuade the council to send her to Tarasov instead of death. To the psych ward to be exact, that way she could get the help she clearly needed.

She went above my request and not only put her in the psych ward but now Tasha was never aloud a feeder and could only have blood bags every other day. It was meant to keep her weaker so she couldn't use her element, and so she could not turn strigoi. In fact they were going to start doing all the prisoners that way.

After her trial she asked why she had gotten off so easy. Tatiana explained to her I was to thank for that. This earned me several disgusted looks from Royals throughout the court room. But the thank you from Christian was my soul purpose in doing this.

I knew no matter how mad he was at her it would have killed him if they had put her to death.

The news of the strigoi attack and what the Moroi had done to aid the guardians spread like wild fire. By the day we returned to St. Vladamir's the OMP was filled to capacity. Some of the more snobby Royals still wouldn't join but hopefully they would come around. If not I felt sorry for their guardians.

Lissa and Christian had decided that their wedding should be a small affair and would be held at my fathers home in Russia. I was happy she finally put her foot down with all those Royal assholes. We would then just stay with Dimitri's family until St. Basil's school year started, while mom, Abe, Adrian, Sydney, Eddie, and Mia would head back to St. Vladamir's to start teaching the new groups.

It seems that the three days we were at court Eddie and Mia finally became a couple. It was about time they had been inching around it long enough.


4 months later

" Do you think they are really ready?"

Christian asked yet again.

It was the end of the school year and we had set up trials for the OMP. It was similar to what we did with graduating novices, but they would use their elements as well as their fighting skills.

It would be pretty much like what Christian had done with Ralph when Lissa and I returned to the academy. Use the element without hurting the fake 'strigoi'. We didn't want torched guardians or anything else for that matter.

" Yes they are ready." I said.

Inside I was hoping I was right, the entire council was here to judge this set of trials. One screw up and they would pull the plug. I looked at my watch it was time to start. I let Alberta know.

She walked out to greet Tatiana and the rest of the council letting them know how things would be done. We gave the group encouraging words before us guardians went to play strigoi. And the trials began.


After a few hours of having your ass handed to you by Moroi you get a little sore. But good news the council was actually impressed, and said they could see the importance of it all. Finally!

And now I'm on my way to the infirmary to have my ribs looked at. Dimitri was still helping take everything down. His height helped him from being beaten too badly. Freaking giant that I love. I walked in to see Liss and Adrian healing minor concussions and pretty nasty bruises. She saw me and ran to my side.

" What hurts?"

She asked sounding worried.

I rolled my eyes and lifted my shirt to show her my already bruised ribs. She put her hand to them and I felt the familiar hot and cold that came from her healings. Dr. Olendski told her everyone else was fine and she could go if she wanted.

We decided firstly Lissa needed a feeder since she had been healing guardians for the past few hours, and then I needed food. We texted everyone to meet us in the cafeteria, so the Moroi could see the feeder if they needed it and us dhampire could get our food. We were all talking about todays events.

" I can't believe we really did it. And next year we will be able to teach more than one small class a day."

Mia said excitedly.

I just hoped they could handle all the classes without the four of us to help out for the first semester. Its not that I doubted any of them but we had a system and it had worked well this year. Dimitri always guessing my thoughts leaned in to my ear.

" They can do it. They have your mother to keep them in line."

He whispered so only I could hear.

I had to stifle the laugh that wanted to escape but he was right, he was always right. And everyone sitting at this table was dedicated to this program. No way they would slack off or not be able to handle it.

" So what should we all do? We have a week before we go to Russia, and no classes to teach."

I asked everyone.

" Actually we have a few surprises"

My mother said and Abe looked so excited he could come straight out of his skin.

" But we want Rose and Dimitri to go first the rest will have to wait until tomorrow."

My father said

Ok what did those two have up their sleeves? I turned to look at Dimitri and saw he had a blindfold. What? He was in on this? I gave him an exasperated look. No way was I going anywhere blindfolded.

" Humor me."

Was all he said

I huffed as I let him blind me. I seriously hate surprises. He picked me up bridal style I heard a few awe's and how cutes.

" I can walk you know."

I stated

This got a round of laughter as Dimitri started walking. Oh well better hang on for the ride. I don't know how long he walked for but he was suddenly setting me down. I smelled pine. Was my surprise a Christmas tree? He put his hands on my shoulders and walked me a few steps forward, before stopping me and pulling the blindfold off.

My mouth dropped open. It was our cabin, but there were changes made. For one it was bigger it had what looked like three extra rooms built on to it. I looked around to see the other cabins had the same changes to them as well. Abe had made this part of campus look like a small neighborhood. It was amazing.

I took the few steps to the front door and opened it.

The front room looked almost the same except instead of a bed there was a dining room table and chairs. The kitchen had been remodeled and had beautiful granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances. I would choke Abe he must have dropped a small fortune on the kitchen alone.

The living room had a nice leather couch and love seat set up nicely around the fire place. It would be a nice place for Dimitri to read and for me to just cuddle up to him.

Dimitri took my hand and led me down the hallway. We looked at a nice bathroom it had a good size tub/shower in it and all the other necessities. Then he showed me two bedrooms, each room was set up beautifully with a bed, dresser, and closet in them. But the last room, it was amazing.

It had a huge king size bed, two dressers made out of beautiful wood, and a huge closet. I would never be able to fill it up. There was another door that led to a rather large bathroom. There was a tub in there that would comfortably fit Dimitri and I, a double sink, and of course a toilet. I don't even want to know how much this place or the rest of them had cost. I was actually scared to know.

" Do you like it? I tried to help Abe make the plans and pick out stuff you would like."

He was rambling it was cute.

" I love it and I love you for it."

I walked towards him and leaned up to kiss him. I was going to show him just how much I loved it too. The kiss became heated like most do and I pushed him towards the bed working his belt and buttons along the way. He got the hint and backed up and sat down. I broke the kiss and pulled his shirt off next came to his pants. He helped me with those. When I had him down to nothing I stepped back to give him a little show.

I pulled my shirt off not taking my eyes off of his. I then slid my pants down and tossed them somewhere . His eyes darkened with the lust in them, and he was completely hard.

I sauntered to him as his eyes roamed my body. When I got to him he reached up to touch me, but I pushed his hands back down to his sides, while I dropped to my knees in front of him. His eyes were wide as I took him into my mouth. I took as much of him as I could and used my hands for the rest of him. I sucked and licked and he started to moan and growl further turning me on. I lightly grazed him with my teeth and he hissed.

" come here now."

He ground out pulling me to him.

He tossed me to the bed and hovered over me kissing my neck all the way down to my breasts. He pulled one of my nipples into his mouth as his hand caressed the other. He switched back and fourth running his other hand down to my dripping sex. I felt him rip my panties from my body and moaned out. He pushed two fingers inside me pumping them in and out as his thumb worked my sensitive nub.

I cried out at the pleasure he was bringing me. But I was greedy and I wanted more.

" Comrade"

Oh my god the things he was doing to me

" hmmm..."

" Comrade I need you now, Please."

He chuckled and brought his body back up mine leaving open mouthed kisses along the way. Bringing his lips back to mine he positioned at my entrance and pushed inside of me. We both moaned out at the feeling. I loved how he filled me. He set a slow pace but I wanted it fast and hard.

" Dimitri please baby harder."

He quickened his pace but it still wasn't what I wanted. I knew how to get him going, I had been practicing it to get it right.

" Trakhni menya tovarishch!"

I said in his native tongue.

That was all he needed. We had never had sex this rough before, I loved it. It didn't take long for both of us to cum screaming each others names. It was amazing. Best orgasm ever.

After we came down from our high we peeled the blankets back to sleep in our bed, in our new home.

" Comrade that was amazing."

I said still a little breathless.

" When did you learn to talk like that Roza? You have no idea what it did to me."

Oh I think I had a pretty good idea, I would feel it tomorrow. But I was very much looking forward to that again.

" I knew you'd like that baby."

I yawned and he chuckled

" Sleep my love, I love you."

" I love you too comrade"

In a week we would be going back to Russia. Lissa and Christian's wedding was in three weeks, and then we would be starting the OMP at St. Basils. Yeva was right so far our lives had been better. I just hoped it stayed this way.

I snuggled into Dimitri and let the sleep have me, this was the perfect ending to a great day.

So there it is I tried another lemon. Not sure if it was better or worse than the first one. Don't forget to leave a review. Until next time night all
