Chapter 49
Dimitri
A NORTHERN GUST HEAVY WITH moisture sweeps across the hill, and Rose shivers. Cold water droplets hit my bare skin. There's a chance we could lose our mild winter tonight to snow.
I stand, snatch the blanket off the ground and love how Rose automatically accepts my offered hand as I guide her to my car. She hesitates as I open the passenger-side door. "I don't want to go home yet."
There's innocence in her eyes, an innocence I lost years ago, so I know there's no underlying meaning in her statement. I move the seat and Rose slides into the back. Freezing rain pelts like bullets as I follow. I shut the door and rain patters against the car.
"Did you get wet?" I ask her.
Rose shakes her head as she grabs for the blanket. I lean into the front, turn the engine over, crank the heat and click on the parking lights to illuminate the console. I slip back beside Rose and wonder how the two of us ended up like this. "I've never had a girl in the backseat of my car."
The wrinkles in her forehead scream disbelief. "I'm not stupid, Dimitri. I know I'm not your first kiss or...you know."
No, she's not. "Sounds awful, but I respected my car too much to bring girls..." I'm right. It does sound awful.
Rose grows quiet. The rain drives harder against the windshield and even with the heater running, the temperature plummets. "Honestly, do you not want me in your car?"
"Rose, you're the only girl I've wanted in this car."
Her body trembles as if she's having a seizure. "Ar-re y-you s-sure?"
I wedge my hands beneath her legs and lift her onto my lap. Rose relaxes her head into the crook of my neck as I bundle us in the blanket. "Never been more sure of anything."
Resting my cheek against her, I inhale her sweet scent. "You remind me of the ocean."
"It's my perfume." I hear the smile in her voice. Her hand peeks out of the blanket and I knot my fingers with hers.
"My mom took me to the ocean once," I tell her. "I think her parents lived in Florida, and she went there for help."
I don't remember much other than the visit was short, there was a lot of yelling, and the wallpaper in the entryway curled near the floorboards. "We left and spent the day at the ocean before we drove back to Kentucky."
Rose squeezes my fingers. I like that she doesn't feel the need to make me better with words when I tell her something from my past. She understands that all I need is the strength in her touch. "I've always wondered if Mom's parents didn't welcome her because of me. They refused to take me in when my mom went to prison."
"What did your mom go to jail for?"
Ivan and Tasha were the only people I'd told about where my mom was, and I never discussed the why. "Armed robbery." Plus child endangerment.
Her thumb moves against my wrist as a silent acknowledgment of how much it cost me to tell her the truth and that she's done asking questions. I kiss her forehead, a thank-you for not pushing me to places I can't visit.
Rose shifts forward on my lap, unbuttons her coat and slides it off. "Little warm."
I take the lighter she still grasps in her hand and place it in the cup holder. When I go to move the blanket she stops me by cuddling back into my body. "I chose the blanket over my coat."
Tonight has been a constant give-and-take between us, and I'd like her to give a little more. "Do you see a therapist about your panic attacks?"
When I'm greeted with the sound of the rain tapping the top of the car, I switch tactics. "Ivan's girlfriend, Echo—she's had some issues and she sees someone. It helps her."
"I used to. In middle school and a little in my freshman year, but then I stopped." Rose's pause highlights her struggle for words. "My mom worried. Constantly. It wasn't normal. She wouldn't let me out of her sight. My older brothers said that she was just as manic as when Colleen had cancer. And then I had several panic attacks in high school."
Her breath catches as if the memory causes her physical pain.
"I had a couple of harsh attacks in a short period of time and ended up in the hospital. I...I..." It's as if the words are programmed not to leave her body. "I hated it. I hated how Mom hovered. I hated how my oldest two brothers would compare me to Colleen. I hated how West and Ethan would look at me as if I was dying.
"So...when I got out of the hospital...I found a way to hide the attacks...the anxiety...and eventually my family believed I defeated the panic and for the first time in my life they didn't see me as weak."
Weak. I hate the word, especially from her. "If you still suffer from this, you should get help. Screw your family."
"There's no way for me to get help without them knowing. Dimitri, I can't..."
"I see you, you see me, remember? You're going to have to trust me on this. If you have these attacks then we'll fix them. I only care about you. Not your family."
"You are bossy."
"Protective," I counter, and run my hand along the length of her leg.
Rose lets out a contented sigh. "I wish we could be like this forever."
"We will be." I break a cardinal rule and dream of the future. Rose is a future kind of girl, and I'm going to have to work hard to give her a world worth living in. "With this certification and internship, I'll have the best jobs. I can't give you the world, Rose, but I'll give you all I got."
Her soft lips kiss my jaw and my body temperature spikes. Holding on to Rose is like holding on to a flame. It's a soothing burn and an addictive burn. Her kiss is pure fire.
"Being with you is enough." She adjusts so that she can look at me, and I love how the spark has returned to her eyes. "We could open our own shop."
I curl her silky hair around my finger and tug lightly. "You and me alone in the garage with you bent over the hood of a powerful engine. I think I can handle that."
She blushes at my words, but keeps the banter alive. "We'll only take fast cars or clients who want faster cars. The faster the better."
I like how she thinks. "If you're touching cars in our shop, then you'll have to get your certification."
"Will you tutor me?"
I shouldn't, but I can't resist. Cradling her face in my hands, I brush my lips against hers. "I'll teach you everything you need to know."
She rests her forehead on mine. My hand stays against her cheek, and my thumb glides over her soft skin. Rose's chest moves faster, almost matching my pace. Energy rushes into my veins and the heat between us teeters on the edge of flames.
"My brothers are going to try to keep us apart," she whispers, then presses her mouth against my bottom lip. My grip on her waist tightens in response. "What are we going to do?"
I don't know, but the way she curls in my arms makes me feel like I'm the hero. I like being her hero. I like the way her eyes shine at me, the way her body melts when I touch her, her soft lips on mine. I love her warmth and every curve.
I love her.
My fingers draw up her back and tangle into her hair. "They'll never separate us."
"Never," she repeats.
Our lips crush together, our bodies pressed tight. An inferno of lips and hands and movements that continues to grow in heat. The blanket falls away as Rose slides her legs so that she straddles me. On the verge of burning up completely, I groan and cling to her small frame. Her hands drift under my shirt, leaving a singeing trail.
We've become a wildfire. Almost unstoppable. I kiss her neck and the beautiful sounds escaping her mouth encourage me further. My hands skim under her shirt, up her back, linger for seconds near her bra, and I gently nip her ear when I feel lace.
Images pour into my mind of what she'd look like with her shirt off, then her jeans. My fist traps strands of her hair. "I want you, Rose."
M SCENE STARTS HERE
I felt her fingers around my hard on tightly, as she slowly started stroking up and down in my pants. Her face was extremely close to mine, I could feel her breath against my lips, and her eyes were locked with mine, while she slowly jacked me off in my pants.
"Is that good?" She asked.
"What d-do you think?" I breathed, biting my lip. Rose leaned forward and kissed me, slowly, her lips gently pressed against mine. She kept leaning, until I was lying back with her on top of me, like yesterday. My arms reached around her, my fingers softly digging into her back as we kissed. Her tongue slid into my mouth, and our tongues wrestled inside my mouth. Soon her tongue retreated, and I followed. Her mouth was sweet, and felt amazing. I explored it with my tongue, feeling every inch of inside her.
Her fingers slid out of my pants, before she raised her hips and started unbuttoning my pants.
"Wait." I said, a grin forming on my face.
"What?" She asked, her fingers on my zipper.
"I think it's your turn." I said, my fingers sliding up her thigh under the dress.
I pressed a finger against her pussy, through the underwear, and felt that it was already wet. She squealed at the touch, before sitting back, her back against the arm of the couch. I lifted her dress a bit, so I could see her black lacy panties. My fingers curled around the straps along her thighs, and slowly started pulling her panties down. Her legs shut and I couldn't see her pussy, but I had taken her underwear off already.
I leaned over her, and gently brushed her hand away, before my lips pressed against hers, our tongues pressing together. My hand held her cheek delicately, my other brushing her hair away from her face. I kissed her like this for a few minutes.
Her legs spread slowly, shaking a little, and I could see her pink slit, glistening from her juices. There was a small tuft of brown hair directly above, clearly trimmed. It looked amazing.
"Wow, it looks... Beautiful." I told her, my eyes looking up to her face.
I leaned over again and kissed her gently. Slowly the kiss turned rougher, and I was on top of her for once. My fingers slid up her thigh, and I felt her shiver as I slowly reached her groin. Her fingers suddenly grasped the bulge of my pants, causing me to gasp. Our lips parted, and I felt her eyes burning into mine as my fingers slowly pressed against her pussy lips.
She breathed in heavily. My fingers slowly rubbed her pussy lips for a minute before Rose snapped.
"Just put them in me already, fuck I need them inside me right now." She told me, biting her lip hard, making me fully erect. My fingers slid into her pussy suddenly, and she moaned into my ear loudly.
I started to finger Rose. My fingers slowly went completely in, to the knuckle, before I started pulling them back out.
"Please, just fuck me. Fuck me with your fingers, now." She moaned, her fingers clutching my cock through the pants as I started to push my fingers in harder.
I began to pound into her pussy with my fingers, pushing and pulling them faster and faster. Rose panted faster and harder, until she finally came.
"Fuuuck..." She moaned as my fingers slowly slid out, covered in her juices. I licked my fingers slowly, keeping eye contact. She shivered as she watched me.
I breathed in deeply as she gripped my belt tightly. I watched her as she unbuckled my pants, and slowly zipped them down. I raised my butt as she pulled my pants and boxers down my legs, exposing my erect cock.
"Rose…. You don't have to do this.." I moaned as her lips suddenly wrapped around the head of my cock. Her fingers started stroking up and down the base of my cock quickly while her tongue pressed and licked the head of my cock.
I gasped, as she got faster and faster, until her fingers began to blur. I couldn't take anymore, and before I knew it, I came into her mouth, shooting deep into her throat. Her eyes widened before she started swallowing quickly. After a few seconds, she let my cock out of her mouth.
She tugged at my shirt, and I followed suit in pulling it over my head. She purred softly as she climbed on top of me, leaning in to softly kiss my lips. She gasped as I bit her lip, before her hand ran down my abs.
"You know, you have a pretty great body." She whispered softly, her fingers grazing along my stomach.
"You're not too bad yourself." I replied, my hands reaching up to firmly grasp her breasts. My thumbs rubbed against her nipples slowly, as she positioned herself above me.
I felt her wet lips against my shaft.
"Are you ready to be my first?" She asked, her eyes shining as her soft lips curled into a grin.
"Of course." I replied simply. She slid down me quickly, impaling herself with my cock. It was tight, wet, and hot.
"Ooh, just, give me a second.." She told me, her hand pressing down on my stomach. I leant up and kissed her, tenderly.
She slowly started to slide up and down my cock. I gasped, as I felt her tightly suffocate my dick.
"Okay, you can move." She told me, panting. I could feel her juices running down my leg.
She panted, as we started thrusting faster. We fell silent briefly, the only sounds were my cock pounding her wet pussy, and our gasps and moans. "H-hey, Dimitri?" She moaned, gripping my shoulders tightly.
"Yeah?" I grunted, as I felt myself start to grow close.
"I... I love you." She told me, blushing. I stopped thrusting for the moment, and sat up.
"I love you too." I grinned, kissing her forehead. My lips moved down to hers, and we began to tenderly kiss. I felt the closest I could ever be with someone, and kissed her more passionately. Our hips started to slowly move again.
I pushed her back a little, and was soon on top of her, as I began to pound her faster and faster. I wanted to make her cum, to make her feel as amazing as I could. My thumb began rapidly flicking against her clit as my cock pounded into her wet cunt, leaving her juices over our thighs. I felt my cock get ready to burst.
"Fuck, please cum inside me. Fuuck, I need you to cum inside me right now, please!" She begged me, her fingers digging into my back. I thrust once, twice, and finally as deep as I could inside her, and came as she did. Her moans became rapid and louder, gasping for air as I shot my cum inside her, my white-hot cum blasting against the walls of her cunt.
We both sat still together, holding each other tightly. I slowly fell to the side of her, as she looked into my eyes. I smiled gently, and brushed her cheek with my fingertips, brushing a few loose hairs out of her face.
M SCENE OVER
And because I do, I kiss her fully on the mouth—nothing left to the imagination. Every fantasy becomes a reality with that one embrace. Then, summoning more willpower than I possess, I end the kiss, cupping her head to my chest.
We both breathe hard. Blood pulses in my temples, throughout my entire body. Need screams for me to bring her back into my arms. But I love Rose, and the physical between us has to go slow.
"Can we stay here?" Rose asks. "For a little longer?"
We can stay here for life. "Yes."
