Prompt: Urge


Everyone knows that Rose has control issues. She is impulsive and prone to acting without thinking, often giving in to whatever urge that hits her at any given time. What no one realizes is that she actually shows a lot more restraint than anyone gives her credit for.

After having to hide her feelings for Dimitri for such a long time, now that they've gone publicand their relationship is out in the open, she has a really hard time keeping her hands to herself. All she has to do is look at him, or hear his accented voice from across the room, and she is instantly filled with the overwhelming desire to wrap her arms around him and kiss him until she is breathless.

Which isn't really advisable when they are both in—say—a council meeting guarding their charges.

At times like that she does her best to fight off the desire that fills her and to remain professional—something that is extremely hard to do when her mind suddenly fills with images of his strong, muscular body naked in their bed. Usually by the end of the meeting, she has fingernail marks imprinted in her palms from clenching them tightly at her sides—her way of distracting herself from the giant Russian temptation on the other side of the room—a method that seems to be working for her since she hasn't jumped him while they're on duty.

Well, not yet, anyway. There's always tomorrow though.
