Rose's P.O.V
"So what kind of vitamins do you take Comrade?"
Dimitri laughed, the sound husky and rough. No doubt from the intense night we had together, my own throat felt raw, but that probably had to do with my screaming and other fun activities I tried. We were both still naked and I laid sprawled on top of him, the couch barely leaving any room for us both to fit.
I must have looked like a hot mess, but right now Dimitri was staring at me like I was the most beautiful thing in the world.
His fingers were feather light on my skin, skimming over the injuries that he had caused me last night during the intensity of his passion. His expression turned worried, when he realized how many marks he left on my body. Placing his hands over the bruises on my hips, he realizes that he had bruised his grip onto my skin.
"Roza…" He started to say, but I cut him off.
"Don't you dare feel guilty, Dimitri Belikov. The whole point of this was to enjoy ourselves. I enjoyed myself," I gave him my best man eater smile. "I really enjoyed myself." I gasped when I felt a certain part of Dimitri stir again, pressing itself intimately against my ass. I gave him a surprised look.
"Don't look at me like that. You can't bring up last night and not expect me to react." He said defensively.
I laughed. "You would think that you would be the one having trouble keeping up due to the mere fact that you possess male anatomy, but you're the one wearing me out." I teased.
"We don't have to do anything, Roza. If you're sore, I understand. I can just take a cold shower or something." His words were honest, but the thing was that I still wanted him with an intensity that made my blood boil, yet I was not completely sure my body was ready for another round so quickly. I'd never been this sore before and that is saying something.
"I want to, but I'm kind of sore. Actually that's an understatement, I'm not even sure I can walk straight. Hey, wipe the smirk off your face, Comrade."
He laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Well luckily for you, there are other methods to achieve an orgasm without you getting any more sore."
I couldn't help the warm blush that spread throughout my body at his words. "What about you?" He was in obvious need of release too, yet his first thought was of my pleasure. That was honestly one of the biggest reasons why Dimitri was such an amazing lover.
He shrugged, his smile turning suggestive. "I think it's pretty obvious which position would give us both another orgasm without me being inside of you. Or did I not do a good enough job getting your creative juices flowing last night."
It finally clicked what he was suggesting and I was eager to try it. "You dirty man! If you get any better at this, I don't think I'll live through it."
"Oh, but what a way to go."
I smile and lean down to connect my lips to his in a passionate kiss filled with so much heat and love that it would be illegal to kiss him like this in public. His hands reached out to entangle themselves in my hair, gently pulling at the roots, which sent a thrill of excitement coursing through my body. Every nerve felt hypersensitive to his touch as if the slightest brush of his fingers could bring me to climax. He sits up so I am forced to straddle to him, giving us a much more comfortable make out position. I was excited for the position we were going to try again, but right now we both seem to enjoy the raw intimacy this kiss was giving us. My hands run along his back, tracing every muscle in his well sculpted physique. He shudders and pulls back slightly to catch his breath, but I quickly attack his lips again. I feel myself start to get wet again and I grind our cores together, desperate for some friction. He groans into my mouth.
A knock at the door abruptly tears us apart, popping the magical bubble that had formed around us last night. Who the hell would come here in the morning uninvited? Lissa and Christian obviously both knew that they should not disturb us right now.
I look at Dimitri. "Don't answer it. Let's just keep going." I whisper, so whoever is on the other side can't hear us. Dimitri looked torn over continuing or answering the door in case of an emergency. Fortunately for me, his desire won out and he once again crushes his lips to mine. I loved this man so much and it drove me wild to know that he loved me just as much.
The renewed banging on the door broke us out of our sex induced haze once again. I could feel Dimitri's erection fading and the frustration on his face told me plainly that the knocking had killed the mood. I was definitely going to have to kill whoever was behind the door.
"Who is it?" I snap, my frustration at our unexpected guest evident in my voice. I didn't think the moment could get any worse, until I heard the voice of who was knocking.
"Seriously Dimitri," Tasha voices coming through the wooden door with crystal clarity. "We've only been broken up for a couple of weeks and you're already jumping into bed with her!"
"What do you want?" Dimitri calls out, not even trying to mask his frustration.
"Let me in! We need to talk. We can do this in your suite like civilized people or I can keep talking in the hall for the whole building to hear."
Dimitri flinches at the threat, no doubt mortified at the idea of anyone hearing whatever personal business Tasha was here to discuss. I, on the other hand, was furious at her manipulation. How dare she use Dimitri's reserved behavior as a way of getting him to talk to her. I mean sure, I had done that several times, but never intentionally. I just didn't have a very good filter between my mouth and my brain. Without hesitation, I grab the afgan from the couch and wrap it around my body as I head to the door. Let her see what she had interrupted.
"Roza, don't…" Dimitri warns, already guessing my intentions. He must know that he can't stop me because he grabs a pillow to cover himself the best he can.
I swing the door wide open with a shit-eating grin on my face. Tasha takes me in with a contemptuous look on her face, but I don't miss the devastated look in her eyes as she looks past me to a naked Dimitri on the couch. A part of me feels guilty for it, but I wasn't going to let anyone stand in the way of my happy ending ever again. Not even someone I used to admire.
"Come in then. Let's talk about whatever had you knocking down our door," I say, moving aside so she can enter.
She brushes past me with a rough bump of her shoulder, but it doesn't even phase me. "You can leave. This is between Dimka and me." I snort at her audacity.
"She's not going anywhere, Tasha. This is our home," He shoots a quick glare in my direction. "But, you could have at least let me get dressed, Roza."
I smile mischievously at him. "Why? We're just going to go back to what we were doing when she leaves anyways."
"Do you see? She's still a kid, Dimka. How can you fool yourself into thinking you would ever be a good match?"
"Because she is the love of my life Tasha and she has been for a very long time." He looks genuinely sad as he speaks to her. "I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it. I could have saved the three of us a lot of pain if I had just been honest about how I feel about her."
Tasha's eyes water at his honesty. "You're the love of my life, Dimka! Doesn't that mean anything to you?" Her tears fall without remorse and she makes no attempts to conceal them.
"I loved you too, Tasha, but as a friend. But there has only been one woman in my entire life that truly understands me," He extends his hand out to me and I move to grab it without hesitation. I take my place at his side, where I belong. "It's Rose and if you can't accept that then you can't be a part of my life. I'll always choose her. Always."
"What about a family? You've always wanted that. I can give you children!"
"I already have that with her."
"They're not yours! If anything they just prove that she'll jump into bed with anyone."
I can't help it. I laugh. Dimitri doesn't find it funny at all, in fact he looks furious. It was a difficult thing to look terrifying while you were completely naked with only a throw pillow to cover your most sensitive bits, but Dimitri pulled it off. He turns to look at me, asking with his eyes for permission to tell Tasha the truth. I squeeze his hand and nod my approval.
"They're mine, Tasha. Spirit healed our genetic defects. Rose was pregnant with the twins before she left court."
She's momentarily stunned into silence . I can see the disbelief warring with her belief over spirit's abilities. I could relate. When I had first found out, my denial had been the only way to cope with the shocking news. Her own denial came swiftly and violently.
"That's not true! She's lying to you! Is that why you broke up with me? You believed her obvious tactics to try and keep you at her side," She yells. I decide that it's finally time for me to step in.
"I don't have to lie to keep him at my side. He wants to be here. We don't owe you explanations about the birth or conception of our daughters." Dimitri leans down to kiss our joint hands.
She glares at me, her tears bringing out the brilliance in her blue eyes. "Why couldn't you just let him go?" She accuses quietly.
"Why can't you?"
"Because I love him!"
"So do I."
"Not like me!"
I nod my head in agreement, which surprises her. I clarify for everyone's sake. " He was going to choose you once," I began the explanation. "During the ski trip all those years ago. He was going to take you up on your offer and leave me. I told him to take it." Her surprise grows at that. "Despite how I felt, his happiness meant more to me than my own misery. That's the difference between you and me."
I let go of Dimitri's hand and move so my face is only inches away from hers. To her credit, she doesn't flinch or move away. "You already know how that went. He chose me. I made the mistake of running away six years ago, but I always learn from my mistakes. Dimitri is my happy ending and I am holding onto him with everything I got. So, if you want a fight, then give it your best shot."
No one speaks or moves for several tension filled minutes, but Tasha finally cracks first and looks away. She doesn't say anything as she walks away, shutting the door with a vicious slam behind her.
It's not long before I feel Dimitri's arms encircle my waist from behind. He leans down to drop a kiss on my bare shoulder.
"I love you, Rose Hathaway."
"I love you too, Dimitri Belikov." I turn to face him and see the adoring look in his eyes. I wrap my arms around his torso and do my best to look up at his staggering height. "I meant it. I'm holding on with both arms and I'm not letting you go."
He smiles one of those wonderful full smiles. "You're not going anywhere either, you wild and beautiful woman." He leans down to press a gentle kiss on my forehead and I bask for a moment in the warmth of his love. A cell phone ring interrupts the moment.
I sigh in frustration and go to the coffee table to pull my cell phone out of my purse. I see Christian's caller ID flash on the screen. "What's up, Sparky?"
He snorts at that. "Sorry to interrupt whatever adult film you two were working on, but you and Belikov need to get over here. Now." I hear the unease in his voice and my heart stops cold.
I turned a terrified look at Dimitri and he is at my side in an instant. "What's wrong, Christian? Is it the girls?" My voice comes out in a terrified whisper. Why did I let them out of my sight?
"No! It's not that, they're both fine."
I sigh in relief and Dimitri also relaxes. "Then what is it?" I snap irritably.
"Your dad is planning a murder and I don't think he's kidding."
Hi guys! Here it is, I hope it doesn't disappoint. First off, I just wanted to say thank you again for waiting. Second, I know that the story has some aspects that don't make sense, in my defense I was fifteen when I originally wrote this story. That being said, it's going to take me a bit more time to update the chapters than originally anticipated, they need a lot of work. Chapters 1 through 4 are updated and ready to go, but 5 through 16 are under works. I hear your guy's complaints and I completely understand them and agree with them to be honest. Some parts of the story don't make sense and I'm working on fixing that. The main aspects of the story will stay the same, but some things will be elaborated on or deleted.
Next chapter will be up on Thursday and I will be updating chapters as quickly as I can. Hopefully, I can have it all updated by then, but please have patience with me. I'm trying to communicate with you guys as best as possible and still give fans of the story the chapter they have been waiting on.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to DM me. I respond rather quickly now that I have alerts on my phone. Thank you again.
