Chapter 11 –

The piercing screams echoed through the cave as Dimitri's stake made contact with the Strigoi's heart. We both watched as the Strigoi fell in a slump on the cave floor.

Dimitri turned and I saw a flicker of emotion in his eyes. But then in an instant it was gone replaced by his guardian mask. He leaned down and pressed his hand to my cheek.

"Are you alright?"

Looking around as I nodded in response. So many dead bodies lay on the ground in front of us. I wondered how many had been lost and how many had been saved.

"Come on, let's get you out of here,"

Dimitri helped me till I was standing upright. It was pitch black as we tried to navigate our way towards the entrance of the cave. My balance was still a little off from the fight. But with Dimitri's support I managed to walk with him through the caves. Neither of us spoke half expecting some Strigoi to be lurking in the shadows as we moved around dark corners towards the entrance.

Once we exited the caves we made our way through the trees. It was difficult to navigated out here in the dark. We walked with out speaking until Dimitri finally broke the silence between us.

"Rose I think we need to talk about…"

"No."

"Roza, please,"

"I don't want to hear this!" I said before racing off into the night.

I ran through the woods pushing branches out of my way as I made my way back to the academy. At least I hoped that was the direction I was going in. In this light I was completely lost. It seemed like I had been running for hours and I was beginning to tire.

I stopped for a moment to catch my breath when I heard the sound of a twig breaking underfoot. Then the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. My heart began to beat faster.

I was about to scream when I saw my mentor push his way through the trees. He had been following me the whole time. I marched on in silence and he followed close behind.

"Roza Stop!"

I didn't turn around but kept walking back towards the academy. I was furious with the fact that Dimitri had kept Tasha's offer hidden from me.

"No" I replied.

I was about to move forward, as Dimitri step in front of me blocking my way. I moved around him and he blocked me again with his strong muscular body.

"Stop Roza!" He pleaded with me.

"Why should I listen to you? Yo…you don't care about me!..."

"How could you think I don't care about you?"

"Be-because if you cared for me –if you cared for me then you wouldn't…."

Dimitri pressed his mouth to mine cutting my words short. I pressed my arms against his chest and pushed him away from me. My eyes welled up and I couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"How dare you! I said screaming.

"If you'd just let me explain!" He yelled back.

"How could you sleep with me and then be wi-with her"

"Look at me Roza,"

"No,"

Dimitri placed a hand under my chin and tilted my face up to his.

"Look at me Roza,"

I looked up into those deep velvet eyes. He looked like his heart was about to break as he whispered, " Roza, I'm not going to be Tasha's Guardian."

"You- you're not?"

"No, I'm going to tell her no,"

"Why?"

"Because I don't love her and I never have. I love you Roza and no matter how much I pretend to myself that I don't and that I should stay away from you I can't –I just can't do that."

"Really? Why?"

"Because you're hard to resist,"

With that he pulled me towards him again and pressed his lips flush against mine. The kiss was hot and passionate and just for those few moments we where lost in each other.

Eventually we broke apart –both gasping for breath. Taking my hand in his. Our fingers intertwined as we walk until we reached the little cabin where I had met Tasha for the first time. Dimitri opened the door and beckoned for me to follow him inside. He walked towards the table and lit the lamp creating a warm soft light.

*** Start of Mature Scene***

I closed the cabin door behind me and walked closer to him. He took my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. His touch was tender. My heart was beating fast –oh so fast. The kiss was hot and passionate and left me begging for more.

A moan escaped my lips as his kisses became more advanced and rough. His tongue snaked against mine making my core ache for him to be inside me. Dimitri slid a hand under my shirt sending shivers down my spine as he moved his hand over my flat smooth stomach.

He peeled my shirt off and tossed it aside. More and more clothes came off leaving my in just my yellow and black laced bra. He traced the edges of it with his finger-tips and softly kissing my neck.

"Are you ready for me my Roza?" He murmured, his eyes dark with desire.

"Yes, I.." I replied.

Dimitri's lips cut me off and his tongue took over again, caressing. Heat roared through my body. My heart, pounded against my chest as he lay sweet butterfly kisses on my body.

His hand slid up my inner thigh towards my core.

"You're so wet Roza,"

"Open your legs wider for me. A little more that's it Roza, That's so…oh, yeah."

He slid a finger and then two inside me. Penetrating deep inside until a white-hot heat boiled inside me making me orgasm.

"Dimitri!"

He slowly withdrew his hand from between my legs and brought two glistening fingers to his mouth and sucked my juicy passion.

"Sweet," He whispered.

"Dimitri, oh…oh God!"

"I want more…"

I felt his tongue at my core, licking, flicking the soft flesh. Arching my back off the bed as another moan escaped my mouth.

The pressure spiraled out of control until a release came in the form of yet another orgasm. My body began to tremble all over. I clutched Dimitri's shoulders as he slowly kissed my neck.

"I want,"

"What is it my Roza? What do you want?" He whispered in a deep sexy tone.

"I –I want you inside me,"

I unzipped his pants and tossed them aside. He was hard and ready for me. I pulled him closer to me as he gripped my thighs and penetrated deep with in my wet hot core.

"Faster!"

He groaned and thrust faster, pumping inside me. Our bodies moving in unison as Dimitri drove deeper and deeper inside me. We both cried out as we came together.

Dimitri pulled out and rolled me over onto my back. I slipped my hands down between us and took his arousal in my hands. Stroking it just like he liked –base to tip base to tip till I felt his release in my hands.

I nestled my head against Dimitri's chest and let out a soft sigh. He placed a kiss gently on my forehead.

"Я люблю тебя" Dimitri whispered as he wrapped his warm arms around my waist.

"What does that mean?"

"I love you,"

"I love you too," I said with a smile etched across my face.

"Я всегда буду любить тебя, ты моя жизнь моя любовь моя все"

I turned and faced the man I loved and kissing him once more. His kisses where soft and gently and felt like heaven. He pressed his body against mine and feeling the arousal there I knew he wanted me again. I smiled up adoringly into my Russian's eyes and seeing a look mirrored there for me and me alone.

***End Of Mature Scene***

The door open and a gasp we both sprang apart to see a wide-eyed Tasha standing in the doorway.

"Tasha?"….
