Title: I Only Need You
Background: After Frostbite, Dimitri realizes that he came so close to losing Rose. Putting the rulebook aside he chooses love over duty. The day after he decides, Dimitri does the craziest thing and kisses Rose after training. He tells her that he loves her and he wants to be with her. After the initial shock, Rose and Dimitri decided to pursue their relationship. A month and a half of sneaking around and stolen kisses brings them to their first Valentines Day.
"Come on Rose!" Dimitri exclaimed as we were sparring.
I was in the worst mood ever. It was two days before Valentine's Day and my boyfriend (and mentor) had NOTHING planned. No, no that's not true. He had something planned but it was to go with him to pick up supplies for the Guardians.
As I was mulling over everything I didn't notice Dimitri heading for the take down. The next thing I knew I was lying flat on my back with Dimitri on top of me.
"If you wanted to be on top, you just had to say so," I told him winking.
"Roza, remember what we said," he reminded me as he nuzzled my nose. "Focus during training and then we have time after."
"Whatever," I pushed him off as I remembered why I was irritated.
"Rose whats wrong?"
"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well," I told him brushing him off.
"It's more than that."
"Fine! I am upset because we don't have plans for Valentines Day. Okay?"
"Oh Roza!" Dimitri grabbed my wrist and brought me close to him. "I know this is hard but graduation is just a few months away and I promise to make it up to you. And maybe when we are getting the supplies we can get you a little something, would that be okay?"
"Yeah," I said as I looked away. My eyes had filled with tears. I know we couldn't do much but I wished we could have at least had this one day. Especially since it fell on a Saturday this year.
"I love you," Dimitri whispered right before he brought his lips to mine kissing me softly.
"I love you too," I said as he pulled away.
"Why don't we call it a day today?"
"Okay," I nodded wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. "I guess I should look forward to being in a car alone with you for two hours."
"Yes you will," he smiled at me the rare smile he only shares for me. "Go get dinner and then head to bed, I promise that next year you will have the best Valentine's Day ever."
"Thank you," I smiled at him. I quickly grabbed my stuff and made my way to the Dinning Hall. Seeing Lissa and Christian, I dropped my stuff with them before grabbing dinner.
"Rose, any big plans for V-Day?" Lissa asked me as I sat down. Lissa still didn't know about Dimitri and I, we planned to tell her after graduation. We still weren't sure how we were going to make things work as far as guarding her.
"I have to go with uh Guardian Belikov to pick up supplies," I told her.
"Oh that's a shame," Lissa frowned. I could tell through the bond she was a little peeved I had brought down her good mood. She was so excited that Christian had made massive plans.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked her before I started shoveling food into my mouth.
"Well, Christian has planned a really romantic day, haven't you?" Lissa looked at Christian beaming.
"Yes, I did," he stated smugly. "But all she knows is that she needs to be ready by ten."
I knew all about Christian's plans for Lissa. He was swinging by her dorm at ten to get her and from there he was going to take her ice skating at Tasha's cabin, where he had lunch all set up for them after. During this time he had Shane, a novice in our year, going to Lissa's dorm and setting up hundreds of red and pink roses. Along with that Shane was to deposit the massive teddy bear, that was the size of me, on Lissa's bed. On her night stand would be multiple heart boxes of chocolate. Along with one special chocolate that would have the single stone promise ring underneath it. It was uber romantic and a little cheesy. After ice skating they were going to head back to her room where they wold have a wonderfully romantic evening that I would probably need to block.
"Cool," I told them as I continued to eat.
"Rose, Lissa, Christian," Eddie greeted as he sat down. "Rose, Lissa, I don't know what to get Chelsea!"
"Eddie, you haven't gotten her anything yet?" Lissa exclaimed. "It's two days away!"
"I know, but nothing seemed right and all of a sudden it was here," he sounded frustrated. "What do I do?"
Eddie and Chelsea had only been dating for a couple weeks. I am pretty sure its only because they both didn't want to be alone on Valentine's Day, I don't know how much is them actually liking each other. I listed to Lissa drone on and on about gifts that Eddie could give but knowing Chelsea they all sounded a little fake.
"You should write her a list of the 100 reasons why you love or like her," I finally said after a moment. "She's not a material person. And then you should get her one of the red velvet cupcakes they make."
"Huh," Eddie sat there thinking for a few seconds. "Thats perfect!"
"I know." I stood up and without saying anything left them. I didn't want to hear about their amazing Valentine's Day plans. After heading to my dorm, I took a quick shower and got ready for bed. I was hoping that Dimitri would slip into the room like he does sometime.
The day before Valentine's Day I had the night off of training. I was supposed to head straight to my dorm and go to bed. Dimitri and I would be meeting at the Gates at 11am which was night for the Moroi. We would run all day on human time until mid morning Moroi time so we could easily adapt back. After class I went straight to my dorm to get ready for bed. Dimitri had told me he was planning on sneaking in so he could sleep next to me, with that in mind I pulled out the cute pajamas. Setting the alarm and popping two Advil PMs I was off to bed.
I awoke to the alarm going off. I rolled over and found a single red rose on the pillow next to me. Underneath it sat a note and a box of chocolate. Opening the note while trying to open the box was a little difficult. But I managed to get them both open.
Roza,
Happy Valentine's Day! I need you to pack a bag with one nice outfit and I do mean a very nice outfit Roza. The place we are going has a dress code. A change of sleep clothes for tonight and a set of clothes for tomorrow. We will be spending the night in Missoula.
Please don't be late. It is important that we leave on time.
I love you,
D xoxo
I held the note close to my chest. Maybe tonight Dimitri and I will finally be able to see what would have happened with the lust charm.
Looking at the clock I realize I had only an hour before we were supposed to meet up front. Shit! Scrambling out of bed I rushed to the communal bathroom to take a quick shower and make sure everything was shaved, you know which everything.
After taking the fastest shower known to man, I decided to play the game of lets see how fast Rose's hair dries. I could have blow dryad it but it would have taken out a majority of the natural wave. So with my hair tightly wrapped in a towel I began packing my bag.
I grabbed the red dress that Tasha gave me, ugh. As much as I hated her, the dress clung to me like a second skin and made me look fantastic. Throwing in a pair of nude pumps to go with it. I went to my small collection of lingerie and looked through it. Lissa had bought me a black lace babydoll with a matching thong a year ago when we were on the run. It still had the tags on it, but know was as good of a time as any to use it. Throwing in a pair of jeans and a cute sweater for tomorrow completed my packing.
I knew I wanted to look nice for Dimitri, but not super in your face. Taking my hair out of the towel I noticed it had dried really well, with a brush through it fell in natural soft waves. Quickly applying some make-up that was subtle. BB cream, very light eyeshadow, blush, mascara, and then a swipe of my cherry lipgloss. Tossing my make-up bag in the overnight bag, I began getting dressed.
I grabbed another set of jeans and slipped them on over the cream lace panties I had on. I noticed in the mirror that the way the jeans hugged me made my ass look spectacular! Grabbing the matching bra to the panties I slipped on a black v-neck sweater. Quickly putting my brown knee high boots on. They had just a slight heal, about an inch and a half. Grabbing my only nice coat, I slipped it on before surveying myself in the mirror. I looked nice. And sexy in a completely covered way. Looking at the small stud earrings I was wearing I wished I had more jewelry, but training to be a Guardian meant it wasn't practical. Shaking my head I grabbed my things and head to the front of the school to meet Dimitri.
I was pleased to realize that I was going to be actually ten minutes early. As I got closer, I saw Dimitri standing up front next to one of the Academy SUVs. He was talking to the Guardian on duty. Checking Dimitri out, I noticed that he was in a pair of nice jeans and a button down with a sweater pulled over, completing the look was his Duster. He looked delicious.
"Comrade, are you ready?" I asked as I came up next to the two Guardians.
"Rose, put your things in the back and we can get out on the road," Dimitri smiled at me. "I am glad you are here on time for once."
The Guardian who's name I didn't know chuckled. "Belikov, you guys are cleared just go ahead and go when your ready."
"Thanks, Chase."
I hopped in the car as soon as Dimitri started making his way to the driver side. "So where are we going Comrade?" I asked as soon as he was in the car.
"You will see." He got in the car and we started making our way out into the world. After about forty minutes of driving we were on the main road. Dimitri quickly pulled over and set the car to idle. "Happy Valentine's Day Roza," he turned to me and said before leaning over and kissing me.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Dimitri," I said to him a little breathy after he pulled away.
"I have a surprise for you," he told me as we got back on the road. "Open the glove compartment."
I opened the glove compartment and found a lot of things. The first was a little teddy bear with a heart that said Be Mine on it. Second, I found a box of candy hearts. Third was two tubes of my favorite cherry lip gloss. After that was a card with dinner reservations on it to the nicest restaurant in Missoula, Dimitri was right, it did have a dress code. And last but not least was a hotel reservation in the nicest hotel in Missoula.
"Dimitri," I began. "I don't know what to say."
"We aren't going to get Guardian supplies," he told me. "I have been planning this day for weeks."
"We aren't?"
"Nope, that was just to keep you in the dark," he smiled at me. "I wanted today to be special."
"What about Alberta?" I asked after a few minutes.
"Well, lets just say she figured it out," he smiled sheepishly at me.
"Are you leaving the academy?" I asked him quickly.
"No, I am not employed by the Academy technically. I am Lissa's sanctioned Guardian so while its frowned upon its technically not breaking the rules. Not to mention the age of consent in the Moroi Dhampir Community was just lowered from 18 to 16." His hand came to rest on my thigh.
"So, does that mean we don't have to sneak around anymore?" I asked him hopeful.
Dimitri threw his head back and laughed. "It means that you can accompany me to Guardian events and the staff will know, well the Dhampir staff. PDA is a no go and we need to keep it quiet from students."
"Really?" I asked him. "So I can tell Lissa?"
"Yes and Christian and Eddie," Dimitri smiled at me. "But Kirova can't find out. If she does she can potentially dismiss us both."
"So, basically keep Kirova in the dark and then we are fine?" I asked. "And I am assuming Royal Moroi."
"Pretty much. Now, are you ready for your second surprise for the day?"
I looked around and noticed we were pulling up to the main square. In front of us was a massive ice skating rink and booths all around. "We are going ice skating?" I smiled. While most places you couldn't really skate outside in February, Montana you could.
"Yes we are. Plus its the annual Valentine's Day Festival," he smiled at me. "I know you were disappointed that you didn't really get a chance this year with every thing going on. . . " Dimitri trailed off.
I grinned at him and hopped out of the car as soon as it was parked. Dimitri followed shortly and soon we were lacing up skates and on the ice. While neither of us were amazing skaters, the natural athleticism that comes as a Dhampir gave us an edge. We definitely were doing the best out of everyone there. It was so much fun to spin around and have a good time without worrying about what people thought. Right now we were just another couple in love.
After ice skating for a few hours we decided to walk around the festival. We played a few games and Dimitri won me a stuffed bear, a stuffed dog, a large heart, a bouquet of four dozen roses, and more.
"This is insane!" I told Dimitri as we walked around with all the things he had won. "I feel like you are giving me the best Valentine's Day ever and I am doing nothing. I couldn't even get you anything."
"Being with you is the best gift I could have asked for," Dimitri leaned down and kissed me.
After finishing our day of ice skating and the festival we went to check into the hotel to get ready for dinner. Dimitri had gotten us a junior suit. There was a bedroom with a massive bathroom and then a small sitting area. I got ready in the bathroom while Dimitri changed out in the bedroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, I had added a little extra makeup to make my eyes pop more. My hair was a little windblown but looked really good. I felt very much the woman Dimitri saw in me. I was nervous about tonight. I wanted to give myself to him but was unsure how he would react.
With one last look I made my way out toward the bedroom to see Dimitri. "Milaya, you look beautiful," Dimitri told me as soon as I stepped out of the bathroom.
I am pretty sure my jaw hit the floor when I saw Dimitri. He was in a pair of dark was jeans and a white button down, with a blood red tie. But what I loved the most was the suit jacket he wore. He looked so amazing. I had never seen him in something so nice. "Dimitri, uh wow," I breathed out. "I didn't realize you cold clean up so well."
"Thank you," he blushed a little. "Roza," he cleared his throat. "Rose, I want you to know, that only what you want will happen tonight. I know us having a room together gives a pretty clear message of expectations, but I want you to know I will only do what you want. I will happy just to hold you in my arms."
My eyes filled slightly with tears. "I love you Dimitri," I smiled at him.
"I love you too," he told me. Grabbing my hand the two of us made our way out to the restaurant.
The restaurant was gorgeous! And perfect for my cowboy. While the beginning part of the day had been all about me it was obvious the restaurant choice was picked with the both of us in mind.
"Hello my name is Jim, and I will be your server today. Can I start you off with something to drink?" A tall lanky guy asked after we sat down.
"A coke for the lady, and a water for me," Dimitri told the waiter. The guy nodded and left. "What are you thinking of getting?" Dimitri asked me after a moment.
"The steak looks really good, I think I am going to do that and the garden salad," I told him. "What about you?" I realized immediately that he was going to put my order in for me. I had seen Lissa's parents do that. Her dad would take all the women's orders and give them to the server.
"I was thinking of getting the steak and lobster with the squash soup," he told me. "I haven't been here before but Celeste said it was one of the best restaurants."
"Did you tell her why you need a romantic restaurant?" I asked him grinning.
"Well, Celeste and I work together a lot, I think she figured it out," he told me going slightly red. At that moment the waiter came back with our drinks and Dimitri gave him our dinner order.
Dinner was filled with a lot of conversation. I learned so much about Dimitri and his life. Everything was going great, until he brought up kids. "Dimitri," I said after the conversation had stopped because it was obvious we both realized we couldn't have kids together.
"Yes?"
"I love you so much."
"I love you too," he smiled at me. "Come on, lets go." He stood and helped me up and we headed to the car.
We made our way back to the hotel in silence. We didn't need to fill the space with idle chatter, the two of us were just happy to be with each other. After making it back to the hotel we headed to our room.
I sat on the bed and slipped my shoes off as Dimitri took off his jacket and tie. Unbuttoning the first few buttons on his shirt and rolling up the sleeves. If I thought before he couldn't be any more attractive, I was wrong. He looked like sex on legs.
Dimitri came and sat next to me. "Remember what I said Roza?"
"Yeah," I said my voice shaking a little.
"What did I say?" He asked me.
"Only what I want to happen will," I whispered to him.
"If you want me to stop at all, I will," Dimitri said looking me in the eye. "The moment you say no, I will stop everything okay? And we can just cuddle or I can sleep on couch okay?"
"Okay," I bit my lip softly. I scooted up on the bed so my back was slightly resting on the hundreds of pillows, my legs stretched out in front of me crossed at the ankles.
Dimitri turned so his body was facing me and he hovered over me, our chests a few inches from each other. He brought his lips down to mine. My arms instantly wrapping around his neck. Tangling my hands in his hair. His mouth dominated mine. Dimitri pulled my lower lip between his lip making me hiss.
I felt him trail kisses down my throat before settling on a spot on my neck that made me arch up into him. Dimitri was all man and he knew exactly what he was doing. He pulled my hands from my hair and pinned them above me with one hand while the other held onto my hip. He pulled his lips away from the ministrations on my neck, which I am sure was now sprouting a hicky.
"Still good?" He asked softly his mouth was still close to the sensitive spot on my neck, I could feel his breath fan out.
"Yes," I moaned out. I felt his lips move up slightly. "Ohhhhh!"
"You are so beautiful," he told me. I felt his one hand come around to my back and slowly slide the zipper down of my dress. The next thing I knew my dress was off and I was laying there in the matching cream lace bra and panty set. Dimitri pulled back, his hand letting mine go. I immediately went to cover myself as I took in his piercing gaze.
"Dimitri?"
"Don't," he said huskily. "Don't ever hide yourself, you are gorgeous."
I smiled at him. "I think you are wearing too many clothes."
Dimitri grinned and untucked his shirt while I started to unbutton it. His shirt was soon off and the next think I knew he had stood up and stripped his jeans off. He settled back on the bed in a pair of plain black boxer briefs.
"Are you still okay?"
"I am more than okay," I told him as I pulled him down to me. "I want this Dimitri."
"I love you Roza," he kissed me softly. I reached to take his underwear off but he grabbed my hands. "No, Roza. I want to worship your body first."
Dimitri trailed kisses down my body and settled his lips in the valley between my breasts. His hands went behind me as he unclasped my bra, the material falling away from my body. Dimitri's mouth went to one of my nipples and he suckled it, causing me to gasp and arch into him. His hand went to the other and squeezed, rolled, and pinched. I could feel myself getting wet. Dimitri's mouth switched sides and I wrapped my legs around him to bring him closer. I never wanted his body to leave mine.
He untangled my legs from around him as he kissed down my torso. His tongue circled my belly button and I arched up. Dimitri pulled my panties down with his teeth, his eyes never leaving mine. After he quickly pushed my legs apart. I heard him hiss when he realized I was completely bare down there.
"Did you do this for me Roza?" He asked his voice husky. He trailed his index finger from slit all the way up to my clit causing me to buck.
"Ugh, yes!" I moaned out. "Do you like it?"
"I love it," his head soon quickly dipped between my legs.
Dimitri's tongue swiped from top to bottom three times. "Oh god!" My hips bucked up. I felt his hands steady my hips to keep them in place. Dimitri dove into me and caused me so much pleasure. I could feel his tongue circling my clit and moving in ways I didn't know were possible. I felt him slip one finger inside me. "Oh!" And then another. Before I knew it I could feel myself getting close to that wonderful high. "Oh god!" I squealed out my release.
I was still coming off of my high when I felt Dimitri position himself at my entrance. He hovered over my body, his forehead resting against mine. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, make me yours Dimitri." His lips capture mine as he slowly pushes in. Giving me time to adjust the entire time. Soon he is fully sheathed inside of me.
"Oh Roza," he breathes out. Dimitri begins a slow erotic pace. His body moving against mine.
I wrap my legs around Dimitri pulling him deeper inside of me. "Oh!" I squeal as he hits a sweet spot "Please!" I beg him.
Dimitri soon picks up the pace. His hands grab mine and pin them above me again. I feel Dimitri's lips attach to my neck again, no doubt marking me again. I can feel him sliding in and out of me. Dimitri's body moving flush against me. I could feel myself being brought closer and closer to my high. It was just building and building, all I needed was the push over the edge.
"Almost there, cum with me Roza," Dimitri whispered in my ear. Hearing Dimitri telling me to cum with him, pushed me over the edge. I screamed as I came with him. I heard Dimitri grunt as I felt him spilling his seed inside of me.
Dimitri collapsed next to me, pulling my body close to his. Cuddling me to his chest. "That was . . ." I trailed off.
"Amazing. Incredible. Wonderful," Dimitri finished for me. I felt him drawing patterns on my skin softly.
"Yeah," I grinned. "I don't know how I got so lucky."
"Me neither," Dimitri nuzzled his nose against mine.
The next morning I woke up dropped across Dimitri's body. I loved sleeping next to him and wanted to wake up like that every single morning. After a room service breakfast we saved time by showering together. Loving the intimacy we had. I never wanted to leave the hotel room. I wanted to stay in this little world we had created.
But soon we were on our way back to the academy. I wasn't sure how I was going to try to keep this a secret anymore. My neck was covered in hickies and so was my body. Not to mention I wanted to shout it from the roof tops.
"Dimitri?" I turned to him. We were in the car and his hand was resting on my thigh.
"Yes, Roza?" Dimitri asked me.
"I am sorry I can't give you the things that you want," I said softly. I looked outside the window.
"What are you talking about?" Dimitri asked me sounding confused.
"Well, first of all I could barley get you a present. And I know that will change once I am working," I started.
"I don't need material things, Milaya."
"But I am not talking about just that," I said frustrated.
"What are you saying, Rose?" Dimitri looked confused and slightly upset.
"I am sorry that I can't give you children," I said softly not looking at him. My eyes filled with tears. Dimitri wanted children so much, and the one thing he wanted more than life itself I couldn't give him.
I noticed that we were pulling up to the academy and that Dimitri hadn't said anything. We both made our way out of the car, and I saw Dimitri talking to Emil before coming over and grabbing my hand.
"Let's go for a walk, baby girl," Dimitri said.
"What about my stuff?"
"Emil will get it to your room, come on," he told me pulling me along.
We walked for a while in the tree line, before I knew it we were near Tasha's cabin. We kept walking until we were at the pond.
"Roza, I don't need anything," Dimitri said after awhile.
"But I want to give you things, you gave me everything this weekend and I want to do the same," I argued back.
"You gave me yourself this weekend," he said to me.
"And now I feel trampy," I said laughing a little.
"Don't ever say that, it was beautiful and amazing," Dimitri grabbed my face in his hands. "I am so happy to be the only man you will ever be with."
"I want to give you more than I can."
"And I feel the same way about you," Dimitri said.
"You have given me more than I ever could have wanted," I whispered my eyes filling with tears. "You gave me you. That's all I have ever wanted."
"Roza, I don't need children. I don't need anything," Dimitri whispered.
"Everyone needs something?" I argued.
"I only need you."
