Chapter 29: Normalcy
I wake up to kisses on my neck and a hand caressing my hip. I push my butt back into Dimitri which causes him to groan and I feel how excited he is. I moan as his hand comes up and cups my breast and his kisses start to become firmer. I turn onto my back and Dimitri immediately attacks my lips.
He puts a leg between mine as he moves his body to hover over me. When we break apart to breath, he starts kissing my neck. Dimitri says "I'm sorry about last night."
"What do you mean?" I asked as I pulled back to look him in the face.
"I know you were trying to be intimate with me, but I couldn't respond. I was just so angry with what Adrian had done and with how my father was with my mother. I just could not be intimate with you while I was so angry. I'm sorry."
"Dimitri, it's okay, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. When something like this happens just let me know what I can do to help you." I pleaded.
"Just be you" Dimitri responded as he started passionately kissing me.
Dimitri pushed up my tank top so it exposed my breasts to him. He wasted no time sucking on one of my breasts. I helped him take of my tank top. Dimitri was already bare chested which was what I love to see.
We broke apart and Dimitri started kissing my neck and his hand that had been massaging my breast started a path down to my core. He reached into my shorts and started to rub my clit over my panties and shortly after, he moved my panties aside and separated my lips.
"So wet for me Roza" Dimitri whispered in my ear.
Dimitri pulled his hand away and then he grabbed the waistband of the shorts I was wearing and he pulled my panties with them. Once my panties and shorts were off, he threw them some wear in the room.
Dimitri got off the bed and stripped of his pajama pants and boxer briefs quickly and then he came back to my lips, kissing me passionately. I start rocking my core against his leg to give me a little relief from his actions.
He reached down to my core and decided that I was ready for him.
He brought his other leg in between mine and pushed them apart. He lined himself up with me and slowly pushed himself in. We both groaned at the feeling.
Dimitri set a steady pace but it did not take me long before I was screaming "Dimitri, harder, faster".
His mouth was right next to my ear and the grunts he was making was spurring me on. And before I knew it, I was yelling "Don't stop! Oh God! Dimitri!"
My orgasm hit and after two more thrust Dimitri was chanting "Roza" over and over again. Dimitri hit his orgasm and then he collapsed on me.
We were both trying to slow our breathing down and enjoying each other. Dimitri started to pull away to roll off of me and I held him and said "Not yet".
"I don't want to crush you" Dimitri said trying to take some of his weight off me.
"You won't, it makes me feel safer" I whispered towards the end.
Dimitri stayed where he was and said "You'll always be safe with me" and then he kissed my nose and said "come on let's take a shower."
Dimitri and I walked into the gym on Monday morning and everyone was already there stretching and warming up. We walked up to Vika and Matt and Dimitri said "So, I want the both of you to work with Matt today while I test the remaining guardians. I want the both of you to do a five-mile warm up, then weights and sparring".
Dimitri gave me a kiss on the top of my head and then he walked over to where all the other guardians were waiting. Vika and I stretched and then started our five-mile warm up. "So, you wanted to talk to me?" I asked Vika after Mark had walked away to set up equipment for us.
She looked around to make sure that no one was in earshot. I was getting nervous that there was a problem, so I asked "Is everything okay?"
"Yes, everything is fine. It is hard trying to find alone time with Matt. I am either with Dimka and you or my family is around, it is not like I want to have sex with him or anything, yet. But I want to kiss him so bad. Do you think it would be weird if I asked Dimka if I can move onto the second floor with the other guardians?"
"Well, I know he has been considering it, especially with what was going on with Adrian. That is why he had Matt walk you home last night. But it was Matt's idea to sleep on the couch last night" I said as I wiggled my eyebrows at her.
Vika blushed when I told her that. "I know Dimitri is anticipating that we may end up in Turkey, so he is planning sleeping arrangements and I think you will be with us for safety reasons." I said.
Vika smile got bigger if that was possible. "Are you thinking about having sex with Matt?" I asked cautiously.
"God, no, not yet. But I would like some alone time with him and maybe a kiss. I just feel like we are always surrounded by my family or Dimka." Vika said with a sigh.
"Leave it to me" I said.
Vika and I finished our warmup and our weights. We started sparring with each other and then we each sparred with Matt. It was beneficial to fight with Matt for me since I was not used to his fighting style. I was getting used to Dimitri's fighting to the point that I could anticipate his moves. I definitely got a good work out with Dimitri, but there was not as much strategy as when I fought with Matt.
After lunch, Celeste stayed with us while Pavel and Dimitri did weapons testing with the guardians. This is when Baba and Mom came by to visit. Vika and I had been working at the kitchen counter while Olena had been cleaning up from lunch.
"Hey Baba, Mom" I said.
"Hey kiz" Baba said while kissing the top of my head. "I just wanted to let you know that Princess Dragomir and Lord Ozera arrived in Turkey about an hour ago. They are exhausted, which is understandable, but I invited Mark and Oksana over for dinner and we can skype with them. With everything happening with Adrian and Tasha, I want to make sure every precaution is being taken, including in the Spirit world."
"Thanks Baba, that sounds great" I said. "Any chance of a flight to Turkey to visit Lissa and Christian?" I asked.
Baba took a deep breath and looked at Mom and then turned back to me and said "Not right now, even though we would fly private, there is still a traceable record of who is flying where and I don't want to give Adrian any information as to where to find you. I am sure it is just a matter of time, but the longer it takes, the safer you are."
"Speaking of Tasha, have you heard anything about her or Guardian Andrew?" I asked Baba.
"No, we haven't heard anything and she hasn't contacted Lord Ozera, but they have family in Russia, so she could be staying with them. But do not worry, we will keep on searching."
I nodded and asked "What time should we be ready for dinner?"
Mom answered "About 7pm, that way you can get your afternoon workout in. Just so you are both aware, Pavel and I spoke with Dimitri and Matt and I will be sparing with both of you on Friday. I think it will be beneficial for both of you to fight an opponent smaller than you."
"Thanks Mom, that sounds like a good idea." I said.
Vika and I met Dimitri and Matt in the gym for our afternoon session. Matt took Vika to one side and Dimitri and I went to the other side and worked on some moves that we had started working on in St Vlad's. I told Dimitri that we were having dinner with Mark and Oksana tonight and that Lissa and Christian had arrived at the house in Turkey.
Dimitri and I arrived at 7pm in the same dining room on the second floor and Mark, Oksana, Baba and Mom were already there talking. We greeted everyone and then we sat down at the table and one of the guardians helping with the dinner poured wine for everyone including me.
Baba stood up and proposed a simple toast "To Happiness". We all repeated the toast. Over dinner Baba, Dimitri and I informed Mark and Oksana, that I was bonded with Lissa and what was happening with Adrian. They both seemed a little shell shocked with what we told them.
Once dinner was over, Pavel set it up so we could skype with Lissa and Christian.
"Hey Lissa, Christian, are you guys okay?" I asked.
"Rose, yes we are good, Mr. Mazur thank you for the protection, the plane and opening up your house for us." Lissa said. She was talking in what I liked to call her Princess voice and it was sad to realize that she would never be Queen.
Christian asked "What happened with the phone call with Adrian? We heard some rumors?"
I felt Dimitri stiffen next to me, so I explained to them what happened. Lissa cried "I am so sorry Rose. Are you safe there?"
"Yes, Liss, I am safe. And I am sorry to tell you both but we saw Tasha yesterday in Baia. She was with Guardian Andrew." I explained. Lissa was starting to lose it, so Baba took over the conversation.
"I wanted to meet with everyone because of the latest issues. We are concerned with Rose's ability to fight or protect herself if she is pulled into the Princess's head. And I also want to figure out how Rose can fly without having a terrible headache and seeing ghosts? Is it possible to ward the plane?"
Mark and Oksana looked at each other obviously having a conversation between them. Mark then spoke for both of them "I don't know if you can ward the plane, it is worth a try, we don't think it could harm her, maybe it will help her. As for getting pulled into the Princess's head, it is really for Princess Dragomir's to work on controlling her emotions."
"Okay, I can work on that" Lissa said. We talked for about another thirty minutes, but it was obvious that Lissa and Christian were exhausted from their trip and Dimitri and I were exhausted from this weekend.
We ended the skype session and then Dimitri and I said our goodbyes leaving my parents and Pavel with Mark and Oksana. As we walked back to our room, I started to bring up the conversation I had with Vika.
"Dimitri, I think that Vika is feeling a little out of place." I said.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked.
"Well, she is training with us but then she has to go back to your family's house. I think she might feel that it separates her from everyone else. I am wondering if maybe she can move to the second floor, I think it will be helpful for both her and I."
"I see, I will speak with Mama about that." Dimitri said as we reached our room.
Once Tuesday came around, I was so happy to get back into a routine with Dimitri. It had seemed like forever since Dimitri and I had just been working alone with each other and I had missed it.
I was also pleased to note that Vika and Matt were getting to know each other better. Training was going well, the only activity Vika and I had not participated in was weapons training. Dimitri said we would start that in a week or two.
We all had dinner in the main kitchen with all the guardians. Dimitri had talked with his mama and they decided that Vika could move to the second floor. So, Matt and Vika went to pack Vika up and Dimitri started to get up and I put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"Let them do it by themselves" I said quietly so none of the other guardians could hear.
"Let's take a walk around the property" I said to Dimitri as I could tell he was still a light keyed up to relax for the evening.
Dimitri sighed for the tenth time.
"What is it?" I finally asked as I gave up waiting for him to tell me.
"I don't know, maybe it's a bad idea to let her date." Dimitri said seriously.
I looked at him with a straight face and then I broke out in hysterical laughter.
"What" he said a little rougher, he was not understanding why I was laughing.
"You are being a hypocrite" I said looking directly in his eyes. He started to talk but I stopped him. "Vika is almost 18 years old and she is allowed to date whomever she wants and she can have sex with whomever she wants."
"But" Dimitri started.
"I am not done; your only role is to be supportive of her and be a shoulder to cry on if someone breaks her heart." I said.
"Yes ma'am!" Dimitri smirked.
After dinner, Dimitri was at the kitchen counter looking at the house plans in Turkey.
"Holy shit" I said as I looked over Dimitri's shoulder.
"Language Roza" Dimitri said.
"Is that Baba's House in Turkey?" It's huge" I asked astounded by the size.
"No, this is your house in Turkey" Dimitri said as my eyes were bugging out of my head. "My, my have we finally caused the great Rose Hathaway to be speechless?" Dimitri laughed as he physically closed my mouth which was on the floor.
Dimitri started to explain that the fifth floor was just for us with a Master Bedroom and a huge bathroom with an adjoining guardian bedroom. An office/study room was off the Master Bedroom. There was a kitchen that was smaller than the one we were currently using. It had seats at the kitchen counter similar to what we had now plus a dining room table. The living room was pretty much the same size that we had now with a flat screen tv and u-shaped couch.
The fourth floor had a large kitchen and a couple of dining room tables. The third floor had five different rooms for relaxing like seating areas and couches with a huge flat screen tv. The second floor consisted of 14 guardian bedrooms and each had their own bathrooms.
The first floor had laundry and storage and the basement had a movie theater that could easily fit 20 people.
"Oh my god, that is huge! Where are Lissa and Christian staying?" I asked.
"There is a two-bedroom house nearby for them with guardian bedrooms on the first floor." Dimitri stated.
Dimitri and I assigned rooms to the guardians including Vika having a room with them. Dimitri initially suggested that she take the guardian room on the fifth floor with us. I explained that Vika probably would not want to sleep in the next room as we were not quiet lovers. Dimitri blushed and then agreed to put her on the second floor.
"What about your family? Will they come with us if we need to move?" I asked.
"I'm not sure if they will come with us, I am going to speak with Pavel and then my family to see what they want to do. And it is more of a 'when' we go to Turkey not an 'if'. I think it is only a matter of time before Tasha and Adrian make their move. And I wouldn't put it past Tasha to let Adrian know where you are." Dimitri explained.
I let out a big sigh and Dimitri pulled me on to his lap and started rubbing my back "I know this isn't how you imagined spending the rest of your senior year. I just whished there was a way I could fix it." He comforted me.
"Yes, it's not how I imagined my senior year but having you here with me and having a relationship with you out in the open is more than I ever dared to dream." I said.
"Would you like to go out on another date this Saturday?" Dimitri asked.
"Is it safe?" I wondered.
"Nothing is ever truly safe, but keeping you locked up here won't help your mental health. And we will take extra guardians as well. So, what do you think?"
"I would love too. What are we going to do?" I asked.
"It's a surprise, but I will take care of all the details." Dimitri ginned.
Dimitri and I went to the living room to watch some tv, but once I sat down and cuddled with him, I was asleep in seconds.
I awoke later to the feeling of floating as I heard Dimitri say "shh, I am just carrying you to bed". I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Suddenly, I was in a dream and I was in one of the Court gardens and I was wearing a very short dress. Suddenly I could smell clove cigarettes and vodka. I noticed a shadow on the ground and I spun around and there was Adrian.
