Do you guys smell that?
Go on, take a nice deep breathe. Do you smell that?
I believe that's the smell of….. sexual tension?
Well it sure is getting good. On with the story!
It was the first day of training on the resort and Rose met Dimitri on time, at 5 pm. They took their time jogging around the resort, taking in the beauty of the winter wonderland in a comfortable silence. Stopping after their third go around, the two started to walk towards the guardian gym.
"Hey Comrade?" Rose started. Turning towards her showing that she had his full attention, Rose continued. "Does Russia look like this?"
Dimitri knew from her curious tone that she wasn't trying to be funny, so he gave her a serious answer. "Certain parts, but it doesn't look like this all year. Where I grew up, in Baia, its actually pretty green and more colorful most of the year." Thinking about it, Rose admitted "Hmm, that actually sounds pretty nice, you should take some pictures to show me one day."
"I would love to show it to you in person actually." Dimitri said lightly. Rose felt the beginnings of a blush coming on at the idea of the two of them perhaps, taking a vacation together in the future. Before Dimitri could notice though, they reached the gym.
Stepping inside, the gym was amazing. Filled with the latest equipment, it was nice to be in a gym where the mats looked like they were actually cleaned regularly. There were a few other guardians in the gym today working out. Turning to glance at them upon their entrance, the guardians turned back to their business, since seeing two dhampir walking in was nothing new. Going into the locker rooms and coming back out, Rose and Dimitri just had to peel off a few layers of clothing they had on to protect themselves from the cold weather. They both got straight into their workout.
After some weight lifting, Dimitri was able to get a few guardians to spar with Rose. It was a great opportunity to get Rose to practice seeing fighting styles that were foreign to her. She was able to pin 2 out of the 3 she sparred against thus far and Dimitri couldn't have been prouder. He was so used to fighting with her himself he never got the chance to really observe her body completely when fighting as he can now.
Watching her focused expression as she looked for an opening on her opponent was captivating. With her sun kissed skin, thick dark silky brown locks that she had in a high ponytail, deep brown eyes, and voluptuous curvy figure, she looked like a beautiful warrior princess. Currently wearing a pair of spandex shorts and a black tank top, Dimitri's eye caught the way her breasts and ass still happened to jiggle when she stopped moving. He tried not to get distracted by Rose's body often, for he isn't a man that shamelessly ogles women, but after yesterday, thoughts about what she looked like without clothes began to plague his mind more often since the lust charm.
Remembering her in her bathing suit yesterday was enough to cause a shot of pleasure to enter in his lower abdomen. Her body still glistening from the pool, walking towards him, she looked like a figure of his imagination. She didn't notice him at first, but he definitely noticed her. Her legs were beautifully toned with thick thighs heading to her wide hips that he longed to grab onto. Then there was her trim waist where you can make out the outline of her smooth abs, topped with her full breasts that were bouncing in unison as she marched towards him. Noticing the hard peaks under her thin bathing suit, Dimitri could help but lick his lips, wondering what her soft wet mounds would feel like in his hands- what her hard peaks would taste like on his tongue. Noticing her coming very close, Dimitri struggled to pull his eyes away to gaze at her face. He could have sworn Rose was looking at him with pure passion in her eyes, with her full lips open and inviting for him to bite on. Making eye contact with her, Rose quickly looked away, going to the bathroom, and breaking the spell she had over him.
Coming back to the present, Dimitri noticed Rose laying on the floor, tired after her third match. Helping her up from the floor after her match, everyone in the gym froze when they heard a high-pitched voice enter the gym.
"Good Morning, Dimka!" Tasha practically sung to him as she entered the gym. Dressed in a tight tank top and leggings, she skipped over to them with a smile on her face.
"Hey Tasha" Dimitri said, not really paying attention to her since he felt Rose's hand grip his harder when Tasha came in. Looking at their hands, that were still holding on to each others, Tasha almost looked a bit disturbed by it.
Letting go quickly, Rose decided to have her word "Hey Tasha, what are you doing here?" when she really wanted to ask What made you think you are welcomed here?!
Perking back up completely, she responded "Oh I just thought I could join you guys for your training today, in the human world I am a trained fighter and I have been working on incorporating my magic in as well. I was hoping Dimka could give me some pointers."
"Well Tasha, we are actually almost done with our training, just focusing on sparring for right now, if you think you are warmed up enough, I guess you can try that" he suggested.
"Great, who can I spar with first?"
Looking around the gym, almost all the guardians that were there previously had made a smooth exit from the gym. Looking at one of the guys Rose just sparred with head for the door, Dimitri tried to stop him for a second, but he looked up, quickly glancing a Tasha, and then shook his head as he headed for the door. It was easy for Rose and Dimitri to understand, training between Guardians was rough but it was a bonding experience, a comradery experience. All of us are trying to sharpen each other so we can survive. None of the dhampir wanted to even risk hurting a Moroi, let alone a royal one by doing, what they thought was, something as stupid as trying to teach one how to fight.
"How would you like to spar with Rose?" Dimitri suggested lightly.
"Are you sure, Dimka? I know she is your student, but she is two years behind in her studies. I wouldn't want to hurt her by accident." She said with a condescending tone.
That really set Rose off. First, she comes in here, interrupting her and Dimitri's alone time with a shirt so tight she can see her ribs, then she has the audacity to question her ability to fight? Oh it's on now scarface she thought, trying not to show her anger on her face.
Dimitri, sensing Rose tense up as Tasha's comment, tried to calm down the mood. "I'm sure Rose can hold her own. Why don't you all give it a shot."
Moving to the mats, the two got into their defensive positions, at Dimitri's say they began their match, circling each other looking for an opening. Rose was impressed with Tasha's defense, she actually did seem pretty tough for a moroi, but it was not enough to really be a threat to Rose. She planned on toying with Tasha today, show her who is really in charge here.
Getting impatient, Tasha came for Rose first. Unimpressed with her speed, Rose dodged every punch and kick Tasha threw at her with a bored expression. Seeing the frustration on Tasha's face, Rose saw her aiming a punch to her stomach, but instead of dodging it she allowed Tasha to make impact. When she did, it took everything in Rose to not laugh. Maybe it was all of her training with Dimitri, but the strength behind her punch was laughable. Moroi are not as strong as dhampir, which their magic makes up for that, but Rose had no clue that they could be this weak. With a look of pride on her face because of her successful blow, Tasha tried to show off by aiming a roundhouse kick to Rose's face, against a well-known rule in sparring. Seeing the kick before her foot left the ground, Rose grabbed Tasha's ankle, stopping the motion completely. Having enough of this game, Rose pulled sharply on the leg, making Tasha fall on her butt. Rose quickly crouched down, making a thrusting motion to her chest.
"Dead" she called, trying to sound a bit winded to help her save face. Standing up, Rose held out her hand to help Tasha get up. Trying to look like she wasn't completely worn out, Tasha got up quickly with a forced smile on her face. "That was pretty good Rose, I see Dimitri has been able to show you some really good moves."
"He is a great mentor, I'm lucky to have him" Rose replied in a relaxed tone that Tasha wasn't too sure she was comfortable with.
"Thank you Rose, but I think we should start to finish off practice with a few more sets of conditioning. Let's say about- 100 hundred push-ups, then 50 chin -ups, and a 2-mile jog?"
Looking at him in shock, Rose immediately protested "YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME COMRADE?"
Guardian mask fully in place he confirmed "Nope, I suggest you start stretching now. Would you care to join us Tasha?"
Trying to hide the look of panic from her eyes, Tasha babbled "I would love to Dimka, but it's getting pretty late. I promised Christian that I would have breakfast with him and Vasilissa, so I should be heading out now if I want to have enough time to get ready. But maybe next time!" and with that she waved and swiftly made her exit.
"Ok later" Dimitri said after her.
Once the gym door closed, Dimitri turned, watching Rose continue her stretching. She was currently, bent over, touching her toes on a leg that had its heel planted to the ground in front of her. Sensing he was looking at her, Rose stood and glared at him. "Come on Comrade, let's get started on these push-ups" she grumbled.
Cocking an eyebrow at her, Dimitri didn't move a muscle, causing Rose to look at him confused. "What? Didn't you say you wanted me to do the push-ups first?"
"Roza, we just finished most of the training today, I wouldn't make you do something like that. I'm not a maniac" he chuckled sitting on the floor.
"So why did you"- then Rose smiled in realization "OH please don't tell me that the great Dimitri Belikov just told a lie?" starting to giggle
"You have become a negative influence on me Rose" he murmured trying to hide his smile.
Sitting Indian style in front of him Rose questioned "So I guess you saw Tasha being here as a nuisance as much as I did?"
Trying to sound pleasant Dimitri confided "Tasha is a good friend from my past with Ivan, but I was- not amused watching her trying to spar with a trained guardian. Plus, I happen to enjoy our training sessions alone—I-it makes it easier to focus" he quickly added to the end.
"I get what you mean Comrade. I enjoy training with you too." She replied with a sound smile to her face, she felt her heart warm up knowing Dimitri felt the same way.
Trying to dissolve the awkward silence, Rose stood up with her hand outstretched to Dimitri. "How about we really work up a sweat?"
"I'd love to" Dimtri said, getting up as they headed to the mats again. Beginning to spar, Rose knew she would lose considering she already sparred 3 times with an actual challenge. She was able to last longer because she knew Dimitri's fighting style well enough to anticipated most of his moves. Time just escaped the two as they continued to try to get the upper hand on each other. Alas, the match came to an end with Dimtri flipping Rose over, causing her to land on her butt only to push her on her back, straddling her waist with his massive legs landing his fist on her chest. "Dead".
Sweating and panting as he helped her up Rose sent him a radiant smile "Now that's what I call a match Comrade" she boasted. "You did well Roza." he said back, giving her that smile that he only seems to show her in private. Surprising her, Dimitri swooped in, giving her a hug. They haven't had the chance to do so at all yesterday, considering that they were surrounding by so many people. However, they really just wanted an excuse to have physical contact with each other. Rose was overwhelmed by the salty scent of Dimitri's sweaty body- it was so divine to her senses, she started to take deeper breathe without thinking, while her hand moved up to the back of his neck, almost playing with the damp hair there.
Dimitri was doing no better, having Rose's warm and sweaty body pressed up against him was definitely putting some compelling images in his mind. Feeling her heart racing, he tried to keep himself calm, until he felt Rose's tiny hand caressing the back of his neck. Holding in a small groan, he moved his hands further down, gripping her hips trying to anchor himself to something. Rose sighed at the contact, making him feel his manhood twitch in his shorts. Reluctantly, he let go, not wanting her to feel the obvious sign of his desire for her.
"Let's go get changed and head back" he said. His husky tone almost made Rose wonder if he meant get changed together but as he placed his Guardian mask back on, she knew that wasn't the case. She knew one thing for sure: These hugs were starting to make her lose her mind!
Alright guys, no how was that? Training back in swing and so are these two.
Please leave a review, let me know what y'all think about this story thus far, ok.
Later guys!
