When Spirit Shows Its Thorn
Chapter 20
Three days later I was allowed to go home as long as I took things easy for a while. Dimitri plunked a monstrous teddy bear into my lap and stoically began to push me down the hallway. "If you're going to draw this much attention to us, Comrade, you might as well make it fun. Pop a couple wheelies or something, you know, live a little." I jested.
I sensed more than felt when he began to place his weight on the handles of the chair. "Roza," his admonished warning rang in the hall. "At least let get out of the hospital before you get another injury."
"Party pooper," I said, rolling my eyes. He then picked up the pace just slightly. At least I would get out of this place a little bit quicker. "Oh, I don't know if I said anything, but I need to see Lissa before we go home." I told them as I saw the exit ahead.
"Home first, Zmey's, request," He answered as the chair slightly wobbled under his hold.
Pulling up to the house, I could see a handful of Guardians patrolling the outside. I tossed Dimitri a questioning glance, but he just shrugged his shoulders at me. He came around the car, and placing his arm around my shoulders, we walked towards the house. Before we could reach the porch, the door flew open to show Abe's smiling face. He was waving his arms in a motion to tell us to hurry up before shutting the door. I furrowed my brow and looked up at Dimitri, who once again just shrugged his shoulders. Abe could be a little weird at times.
Dimitri opened the door and stepped aside to allow me through. I expected my father to be just inside or at least perched in a chair, but instead I was greeted with an empty and silent room. "Let's grab a drink?" Dimitri asked. I agreed and we made our way into the dining room.
Upon stepping into the room, I found it crowded with smiling familiar faces. Lissa was sitting front and center. I rushed to her, pulling her into a tight hug. Stepping back, I noticed the table was ladened with food. "Real carbs," I said gleefully and plopped into the chair next to Lissa.
"Christian was cooking half a day. He didn't know what all you would want." She said as she looked adoringly at him.
"You did this for me, Sparky?" disbelief filled my voice. Christian smiled broadly and shook his head yes as he took the chair at the foot of the table and grabbed Lissa's hand. "Thanks." I said as I shoved a piece of bread into my mouth.
"Well, dig in everyone, before there's nothing left." Christian huffed as he stabbed a piece of ham out from under my fork. Oh he would pay for that!
"You know the great thing about having medical documentation of a head injury, right?" I grinned at him. "I could stab you with my fork, and they would pass it off as a mental side effect," I moved two slices of ham onto my plate as I stared him down. "But I think someone, somewhere told me to never bite the hand that feeds me." Christian and I continued our stare down for a few seconds longer before we dissolved into a fit of laughter.
By the end of breakfast my head was beginning to hurt and I felt a little unsteady. Dimitri helped me upstairs and into bed. Kissing my forehead, he left me to rest while he went to help clean up the breakfast dishes. I woke up to Lissa lying in the bed next to me. "I wish I could help, but the medicine blocks me from accessing my Spirit."
"You don't need to do that on my account." I told her. "Plus I'm better now anyhow."
"I don't think we should take the chance, Rose."
"Lis, stop taking the medicine. If I start getting overwhelmed with the effects, then you can always start taking it again."
"I suppose." Her expression turned to one of deep thought. "Or, I could just heal you." She continued on as a smile spread across her face.
"There's that too." I smiled back. Hearing a soft knock on the door, we dropped the subject. "You can come in." I called out. Christian opened the door and announced lunch would be ready soon. I couldn't believe that I had slept that long.
"We'll be right there." Lissa assured him and closing the door he retreated back downstairs. "I won't take anymore medication after tonight. I'd feel better if we let you have at least one night home before having to deal with all the Spirit stuff."
I spent the time after lunch sharing in quiet conversation with each of my friends and my parents. Dimitri rarely left my side and was always finding an excuse to touch me or play with my hair when he was near. By the time we made our way upstairs, my skin was humming for his touches of a different kind.
He led me to the en-suite bathroom to an awaiting tub of water. He took his time as he undressed us both, his fingers ghosting over any newly revealed skin. Gently lifting her into his arms, he stepped into the waiting water and lowered them into its warmth. Soaping me up, he then cupped water into his hand and let it drip and drizzle over my shoulders to rinse away the suds. The water felt erotic as it would slide down my chest and back. He was softly speaking words in Russian against my ear.
A moan escaped my lips and I leaned by back further into his chest. He brought another handful of water up and allowed it to drip upon my hardened nipples causing me to gasp and for his erection to twitch against my back. He switched tactics and quickly rinsed away the remaining soap before guiding our slick bodies to stand and step out of the tub.
H gently began drying my body. I gasped again in pleasure when his hand grazed my womanhood as he slid the towel against my inner thighs. He skimmed the towel around my upper thighs and over my backside. Lifting me up, he set me on the counter beside the sink. Grabbing another towel he began drying his own perfect body. My hands grazed his shoulders when he bent to dry his lower legs and feet. I loved watching how the muscles of his back danced with each movement.
He dropped the towel on the floor, and kneeling down; he spread my legs and ran his tongue torturously slow up my folds. I fell back against the mirror as he began a slow dance with my clit. Somewhere I found the strength to wind my hands into his hair, causing cool drops of water to drop against my leg and abdomen. Releasing a whispered curse, I tilted my hips against his face. He suckled my clit into his mouth, releasing it with a gentle scrape of his teeth. His name fell from my lips in a husky plea, for what I wasn't sure. I didn't want him to stop but I needed something more.
I trembled, cursing and calling his name as he plunged two fingers swiftly into my core. My eyes flew open to find his watching my face studiously. "Is that what you needed, Roza?" His words caused his breath to fan across my womanly core; I moaned falling back against the mirror. He gave me a knowing smirk, and dipped his head back between my legs.
Suddenly it felt like his tongue and fingers were everywhere. Sliding, pulling, and sucking, he brought me to the brink of release. His fingers curled and with a gentle nip to my swollen bud, he sucked my clit inside once more, sending shockwaves through my body. My thighs tightened around his head, my fingers dug into his scalp, as I screamed out his name. Bright lights had burst behind my eyelids and slumped into a limp puddle against the counter top.
"I'm just getting started, Milaya." Dimitri warned as he lifted me up, cradling me bridal style against his chest. My heart stalled and began thumping wildly again at his words. The excitement building in my body again as the last remnants of my orgasm twitched between my legs. Laying me against the cool sheet of the bed, his mouth found mine.
I could taste the musty sweetness of myself on his tongue and it only thrilled me more. His lips traveled down my neck and across my shoulders. My hands began their own dance on his shoulders and back. He drew a sharp gasp from me when he suckled my breast while gently squeezing and pinching at the other. He worked my body until I was a frenzy of curses and begging. Only then did he position himself between my legs, and slowly push his cock into me. We both swore at the heavenly feeling as my body adjusted to him. Then before I could catch my breath, Dimitri was plunging in and out of me. It only took moments before I felt as the building heat reach its peak and my body coiled again. Wrapping my legs more tightly around his waist, I once again felt the world shatter as I yelled a single "Oh God!" into the night. Dimitri's head fell against my forehead as he joined me in rapture seconds later.
His body fell limp over mine as we gasped for breath. Eventually he moved to lay beside me, encircling me into his arms. Tired and exhausted, I knew we both would wake in the morning sticky and in need of a shower. For now, sleep was the only thing we had enough energy left to do.
I have no idea why it took me so long to get this chapter worked out, but it did. I am so sorry it took me days to get it written and posted.
