If any of you have saw the Authors Note I posted then you can ignore this. I'm finally back off my extremely long hiatus. Sorry it took me a while to get back but life gets in the way. I had to prioritize my life and I can't let FF be my main focus. :(

Thank you for all the reviews, follows, and favorites while I was gone. They finally brought me back to come back and finish this story.

WARNING: Sorry if the story seems a bit off. Its been a while since I've written anything and I kind of lost what I wanted to do with this story initially.

The Beginning's Part II

DPOV

I was having a good time but I needed to get away from everybody especially with the migraine that was coming on. I sneaked away from the party my brother and partners were throwing for gaining a big contract with the Mazur's. The Mazur's had a huge reputation in Portland as the best lawyers out there and were connected to some old money. The fact that they wanted to have a contract with Belikov Estates and Construction called for a celebration. My brother, partners and I couldn't just say no to them because working with them would not only just land us other contracts with them but it'll give us a higher reputation than we already have.

I made sure no one was following me before I went inside. When I got inside I closed the door and leaned back, closing my eyes. The migraine was on full attack mode and I couldn't help but groan.

"Running away from the someone or are you not feeling okay?"

It was a woman's voice. I was sure of it. A voice that had a husky tone to it but was silky and smooth. My body jumped at her voice and my brain began to start working again. I open my eyes and looked to where the voice came from. She was sitting in my office chair leaning back with her feet up on my desk. Her long almond colored legs were stretched up against my desk next to a flute of champagne. I felt a blush creep up onto my neck and face from looking at her legs longer than I intended to. I bring my eyes up to her face and her eyes flashed with humor and curiosity. Her lips were curled in a smile and oh did I just want to jump her then and there and press her lips against mine.

She gets off from my chair and stalks toward me with a sway of her hips. I couldn't stop staring at how curvy her body was and the way her hips moved side to side. There was just something about her that made her stand out from other girls. Was it her brown eyes or her long darkish black brown hair? Or the way her black dress showed off every curve she had? I could just imagine her wrapping her body around mine as we make love throughout the night. What was I thinking? I didn't even know her and here I was thinking about making love with her.

"Who are you? And what are you doing in my office?" I blurted out before I asked her if she wanted to go back home with me.

"I'm your worst nightmare, thats who I am," she threw back her head and laughed. Oh what I would do to just be able to kiss her neck and possibly lower. "I'm kidding, of course. I was feeling a bit tired down at the party and wanted to get away from it for a while. My names Rosemarie but I prefer Rose."

When she's close enough to me I can smell her and boy did it made my stomach flip. She holds out her hand to me and like the gentleman I was, I took her hand and brought it to my lips pressing a small kiss there. As I was holding her hand, I felt an electric shock go through my body. I knew I wasn't the only person who felt it because I could visibly see the goosebumps that appeared on her arms. I look into her eyes as I give her a crooked smile and say, "Its a pleasure to meet you Miss Rose. My names Dimitri Belikov."

I didn't want to let go of her hand or let her leave the room. She had to stay.

"Ahem. Well, like I asked before are you okay?" She asks pulling her hand away from mine.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a migraine," I tell her.

She goes into her purse that was on my desk and takes out a bottle of Advil. She takes out 2 pills for me and I gratefully take them from her. I walk over to my desk and take out a water bottle from the mini fridge under my desk. I down both pills and at least half of the water bottle. I turn back around to see her at the windows looking over downtown Portland.

"Thanks for the pills," I tell her. When I don't get a reply back from her I go over to her but not too close to her. I was close enough to her to smell her scent that was driving me nuts. I couldn't get enough of it. "Nice view isn't it?"

She looks up at me and smiles,"Its beautiful."

"Yeah it is," I murmur. I wasn't agreeing with her about the lights but of her. I wanted her. I needed to know more about her. I won't let her leave until I at least have her number...unless she has a boyfriend. But that doesn't mean we can't be friends right?

"Is it okay if I stay up here with you? I don't want to go back down at the party and talk to people. I mean the parties great and all but I rather talk to you. You left your iPod out so I couldn't help but look through it, sorry. Boy, do you need an upgrade on your music. We need to talk about that. Right now." She tells me. Before I even got a chance to answer she grabs my hand and drags me to the couch in my office so we could sit down and talk.


RPOV

A god...that is what he is. We've been sitting on the couch in his office, talking about anything and everything for the past few hours. It was so easy to talk to him and just be carefree. I didn't feel the need to be super polite and act like a socialite. For once I could be Rose...just Rose. He actually listened when I talked and shared similar opinions to me unlike the other men I went dates on. They never cared for what I had to say and would drone on and on about themselves. Dimitri was more of the man to be full of life. He loved the outdoors, playing with his niece and nephew, a massive book lover, and movie lover. He told me how he could never sit down for long because it drives him nuts to not be able to do anything. He was more of a hands on type of guy so that is why he's often at constructions sites helping build whatever contract Belikov Estates and Construction had at the moment.

My mind wandered off for a moment thinking about Dimitri shirtless and the way his muscles would look like as he carried tools. I began to bite my bottom lip and started starting at Dimitri's lips as he talked more about working on construction sites often. He had the perfect set of lips that were full and sensual looking. The way his lips moved while he was talking made me want to straddle his hips and kiss him senseless. Especially with the slight accent he had, it drove me even more mad.

"...Roza?" I heard Dimitri say.

I tear my eyes away from his lips and look him straight in the eye. "Whose Roza? My names Rose."

He laughs and shakes his head at me. "Roza is Russian for Rose. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you Roza but it just slipped out."

I couldn't help but blush and I felt my smile grow by ten times. The way he Roza rolled off his tongue was about to be my undoing. I brushed a loose strand of hair and tucked it behind my hair. "Oh, its fine. Don't worry about it. I like it when you call me Roza."

The strand fell back into my face and just as I was about to brush it back, Dimitri stops me. He leans in closer and places the strand back behind my ear. I could feel his breath on my lips as he whispers, "Good."

I suck in a breath and gulped. He was so close and I wanted to kiss him. He wasn't moving so maybe I should be the one to kiss him. But what if he doesn't kiss me back? What if he pushes me away and laughs at me? I decide to take the risk and see where it takes us both.

I bring one of my hands to his cheek and the other gets tangled into one of Dimitri's hands. He bring his fingers to my lips and brushes my bottom lip with his thumb. I bite my bottom lip to prevent myself from attacking his lips with my own. Maybe we should stop before we both regret doing something we wouldn't do. Before I could open my mouth and say a word, Dimitri smashes his lips against mine.

Forget about stopping there. I press my lips back against his and tangle my hands into his hair. His hair was incredibly soft and silky. I feel one of Dimitri's hands on one of my hips and the other tangled into my hair. I push Dimitri back onto the couch and straddle his hips. I sink my fingers back into his hair and kiss Dimitri as if it was the last time we were going to see each other. I could tell Dimitri was getting turned on from us kissing from his little friend downstairs poking me.

Dimitri breaks the kiss and we both stare at each other as we try to regain our breath. Dimitri's hair was sticking out all over the place and he had lipstick all over his mouth. I began to laugh at the way he looked and soon afterwards Dimitri begins laughing with me. He takes a hold of my face once more and presses a small kiss against my lips. The kiss was just short, simple and sweet...well for a bit before things got pretty heated.

"ROSEMARIE AINSLEE HATHAWAY MAZUR!"

Me and Dimitri broke apart immediately and I look towards the door. My dad was standing there seething with two other men, one of which who looked like Dimitri. I turn to Dimitri and his eyes were huge and I heard him say shit.

"What on earth do you think you're doing with my daughter Belikov?!" My dad asked in a much lower voice but you could still tell he was beyond pissed off.

Dimitri looked at me and gave me a look of shock. "You're Mazur's daughter?!"

What did I get myself into?
