"You know I am starting to think my brother is the biggest fucking ass ever." Dimitri turned from the ingredient wall and looked at me with amusement. He had been trying to make something for the last hour but I being me kept distracting him, I could not help it and he was not stopping me. He took a few steps closer and settled himself in front of me, leaning against the counter. I almost lost my train of thought as I gazed into his eyes. His eyes were so gorgeous, so brown and deep.
"And why do you say that Roza?" He knew why, but he clearly wanted me to amuse him. Ever since I walked in this morning there was this ever growing tension surrounding us. At first I feared it was a bad thing, until he voiced his excitement for our date in two days. Not only that I had caught him sneaking looks every so often, something I had been doing myself. Not to mention that he was going out of his way to stay close to me, touching my hand, shoulder or cheek as often as possible.
"He is trying to stop me from going on our date on Friday. Not that he can thought, but still, its getting annoying. You should have seen him, he even went as far as to say I was acting slutty by going out with you and Christian." I sighed loudly and looked him square in the eyes, the comment about being a slut seemed to bring an angry spark in him. "It's not a date, its an outing and I will be making sure he knows it. I mean I thought he knew who I liked" I stared at Dimitri, causing him to chuckle. I was about to sigh again when Dimitri caught me off guard by pulling me to him. It was just a hug but it meant so much to me, he was trying to comfort me, trying to make me feel better, he did not have to, but he wanted to.
"It will work out milaya. He's your brother, I know I acted well like an ass with my sisters love interests, I think it is required to be a brother. I know there have been many times when they wanted to beat the crap out of me" He pulled back and I saw something cross his features longing, wanting, I was not sure. His mouth opened and closed a few times, I could not help but wonder what was on his mind. "Can I..." He straightened up some and confidence grew in him. Male power radiated off of him and I softly swooned. "Can I kiss you?" What?
At that moment my mind went numb. I had not been able to see him Monday or Tuesday and ever since I walked through the door it was like he wanted to do or say something. I could barely even think now knowing that this whole time he wanted to kiss me. I had been aching to kiss him since the day I met him, it was also so sweet that he would ask me, I mean he was more than welcome to just kiss me. I found myself looking into his eyes and I smiled. His returning smile lit up the already bright room, it was weird to think that even so soon into this we did not need words to answer each other. I brought my hands up and around his neck, helping to lead his mouth to mine. It all seemed to happen in slow motion, like in the movies the anticipation building up. His head leaned down and tilted right and I went up on my tip toes and tilted my head. His lips where so close and I let out a soft breath. This was even better than I had imagined. I mean it could not even be more perfect if I had planned it.
"You're so beautiful, so beautiful it hurts." And with that his lips met mine.
The world spun. I had kissed many men in my short life but nothing was like this. I never would have thought that kissing someone could be so amazing, so exhilarating. His lips were soft, they felt like velvet against mine, and they fit like he was made just for me. The kiss was slow and easy, it held so much meaning as our lips moved softly against each other. That was until his hands tightened around me and he pulled me closer to him. With that one movement he deepened the kiss, his tongue skimmed my bottom lip and I could not help the soft whimper that left me. I welcomed the feel and taste of him and soon he was exploring my mouth. His tongue was rough yet gentle, and it was even better than I had imagined. The kiss had me longing for more of him. As I wound my hands in his hair I decided that this would be the perfect time to try and dominate the kiss. My tongue joined his, and reality disappeared. His hair was so smooth and silky in my hands, his body pressed so close to mine. I could feel his muscles rippling, I could feel every inch of him against me. He felt so fucking good, this kiss was so fucking good.
A moan escaped his throat and this only egged me to continue what I was doing. His hands sank lower reaching the hem of my shirt, his big hands feeling amazing as they slipped under the shirt and touched my skin. I was lost in everything that was Dimitri, his touch, taste, and scent was surrounding me, bringing me into a world that revolved solely around him. My need to touch his bare skin increased I took my hands out of his hair and led them downward, feeling his back muscles through his shirt and soon I found my own hands under his shirt and what heaven I found there. I traced patterns on his back, and this once again brought us impossibly closer. We kissed and kissed and kissed. Suddenly I felt my legs leave the floor and he scooped me up and placed me on the counter, I remembered the flour we had spread there earlier and was about to say something until his hands skimmed higher and rested under my shirt near my ribs. He pushed my legs apart and nestled himself in between my legs, never breaking the kiss. This was sexy, hot, amazing, you name it this kiss was. We were both letting out the pent up frustrations that the sexual tension was making. Suddenly Dimitri pulled away, both of us breathing heavy neither one looking away from the other. A smile came onto both our faces as our chest heaved. He looked so sexy. Fuck I felt sexy, this was so exotic, so kinky, fuck I was so horny.
"That was even better than I had imagined." He gasped out, all while reaching to bring some loose strands of hair away from my face. I wanted to fix his hair but I could not get myself to. He looked so sexy with it tussled. He wore the look well, and I tried my hardest not to think of how sexy he would look after having sex.
"I know." It was the only thing I could trust myself to say. Especially since he was still so close to me. I could feel his arousal through his pants, and my own was causing my underwear to slowly become soaked. Dimitri clung to me and was about to kiss me again when the bell rang. He smiled widely and turned to go help the customer. I followed him with my eyes and knew I was going to have to stop him. The customer was going to ask questions if I didn't.
"Dimitri!" He turned around confusion crossing his eyes. I laughed, he clearly was not thinking straight. "You might want to fix your hair." His hair had been tied back to keep it from getting in his sweet treats, but seeing as I got my fingers lost in it about a minute ago it was sticking up all over the place. He laughed at this and took the tie out running his fingers through his silky locks. He winked at me before he turned back around and headed to help whoever had walked in. Had I mentioned how sexy he looked when he winked, ok fine he looked sexy no matter what he did, fuck he was so hot.
A goofy smile graced my lips as he walked out. I turned back to look forward and could barely believe what just had happened, he had kissed me, and it had felt so fucking good. I had never been kissed like that before, and as corny as it may sound it was like I had been kissed for the very first time. I rubbed my lips with my fingers, and could feel the tingle his lips had left behind. I knew I would never forget that kiss as long as I lived, I would never be able to kiss anyone else after this. At that very moment I was aware that Dimitri may very well be the man to ruin all other men for me. The thought did not scare me at all, I knew there would never be anyone better than him. He may have his flaws, but to me, in my eyes he was perfect. And something told me he was only going to prove this to me time and time again. He was Dimitri, Russian god, sexy fuck, strong, big, fucking...
"You know you look rather sexy when you're in deep thought." I looked up surprised that Dimitri had come back and I had not noticed. Not only that but only a foot separated us. Huh, I was really going to have to work on that, he was always sneaking up on me. I mean I had to learn how to do that, cause I could never sneak up on him.
"Oh do I? If I can look sexy lost in thought thinking not even trying, I wonder how sexy I can look when I actually try." He raised an eyebrow at this and took the step in that separated us. I smiled widely and I saw how he reacted to what I had just said. His breathing hitched as he leaned in closer, his hands hoovering over my hips.
"God Roza do you know what you do to me?" His hands found my hips and he squeezed lightly. How the fuck did that feel so good, my eyes closed, and I tilted my head side ways. Who would have ever thought that such an act could make my body respond like this. I had never been one to think that being rough would be a turn on, but right now I wanted Dimitri to man handle the shit out of me. Push me into a wall, squeeze me, touch me, tease me.
I was not expecting him to come in closer and kiss my neck. He trailed soft kisses, sucking lightly only adding on to the pleasure he was bringing me. "You taste divine. Your smell is intoxicating. Do you know how hard I had to work to stay away from you?" I opened my eyes and met his. Why would he try and stay away? I wanted him, fuck I wanted him so badly. And his need of me was only making it harder to not strip him naked and take him right on the bench, fuck the fact that we made food on it, it could be cleaned easily.
"It's a good thing you don't have to stay away anymore. Cause this is heaven." I reached out and tucked his hair back bringing his face to mine. I took my chance and kissed him again, not that he was fighting it. He was encouraging me as his hold on me tightened.
I did feel bad that I was distracting him, but I knew it was a distraction that he welcomed. We spent most of the morning making out, we made a batch of cookies here and there, but were far too distracted to do much else. He had once again brought in lunch, some weird red soup and some stuffed dumplings of sorts. Just like everything he made it tasted amazing. I ate my share and ended up stealing some of his. As weird as the food seemed it tasted great, that and I did really love food. At first his weird Russian food scared me, but he had proven time and time again that the stuff tasted wonderful.
"I'm glad you have a good appetite, my mother will love feeding you." He smiled fondly. I knew Dimitri missed his family, but soon they would be here. The bakery was doing wonderfully, and in a months time the rest of the Belikov's would be here. He talked a lot about them to me, and had even told me he told them about me. I was nervous to meet them, but even more so that they would not approve. I mean meeting the family was suppose to be the hardest part of a relationship, I just hoped I could live to see the day after that. He had three sisters that had to approve of me. And woman could be bitches. I was terrified that they would hate me and tell him to give me up. Would he listen to them? I had to stop thinking I was getting worked up over nothing, they weren't even here yet.
"I'm going to assume that she like you likes to cook?" Stupid question but I was trying to avoid attacking him on the table, he was so tempting, once we got going it was like we could not stop.
"Oh yes mama is a fine cook too. You are going to love all the things she makes, here in the bakery I make some Russian treats, most are American. But she is 100% a Russian chef." He got off his seat and walked over to me and pushed my bowl away. "Enough about her though, we have twenty minutes until Christian gets in, and I plan to kiss you that whole time."
And just like that our lips locked again. Also just like every other time I lost track of everything, I was sure he did too. This was all too good to be true, I was the luckiest woman alive. God I was such a sucker for this man, I had never thought this is where I would be. I knew I wanted my future to be mine, I wanted a job, and some day to go to college, but I had never added a man onto that list. Dimitri came into my life without me wanting someone like him, but now that I had him I could never let him go.
Our time together was cut short as the bell rang and I knew it was Christian's turn to come in for a shift. Dimitri pulled back from the intense kiss we had been consumed by and a scowl crossed his face. He had not mentioned anything about Christian, but I knew it was bothering him. He should have known he had nothing to worry about, he had clearly claimed me as his own a long time ago. And the fact that we had spent hours making out should have clued him in that I was all his. But I could understand his worry, I mean we were going out on Sunday, but he had me all Friday night.
"Afternoon!" Christian called from the front. A low growl rumbled through Dimitri's chest. I could not help but laugh at his jealousy, it made me feel so wanted.
"Be nice. You have nothing to worry about." I pulled him in and kissed him passionately. "He has nothing on you." If only Dimitri knew how true that was, Christian was an Ok looking guy, but he had nothing on him. Dimitri was perfection, the guy girls swooned over, a guy that was just too good to be true.
With that I pulled away from him and walked out to greet Christian. I was going to wait to question him but right now was a good of time as ever. I walked out and noticed Dimitri had stayed behind, I mentally sighed in relief this would be easier without him looking over our way mad. That and I feared Dimitri would do something irrational before I could straighten this out, like fire Christian, or worse punch him. I laughed at seeing that, I was sure Dimitri could land a mean punch, he was a well built man.
"Hey Christian can we talk?" He looked up with a big smile on his face and nodded, waving me over to a booth. Ok just stay calm, this is the right thing to do. I mean I had to know what was going on, this was a problem I had to fix. I owed it to Lissa to see what was going on in that dumb head of his.
"Sure Rose what's up?" I decided to sit across from him, making sure not to give him the wrong idea. I also kept my hands at my sides, avoiding him reaching out to them. Here goes nothing.
"It's about Sunday." I looked up and met his eyes for the first time, bringing up Sunday and the concert brought out a sparkle in his eye. God, I was really hoping his heart was not something I could break, I could be a bitch, but I did not like hurting people, well not nice people. And Christian was a nice guy, he had given me no real reason to dislike him, other than being an idiot and not seeing how much Lissa liked him, but that was fixable, a small flaw.
"Oh yes it's going to be awesome Rose! Have you ever seen them live? It's freaken amazing. We are going to have a blast." His face lit up and a smile graced his lips. God he was making this harder for me. But wait he was excited about the band mostly, that is a good thing. This was not a date, not a date.
"Look Christian. I'm excited for the concert. But... Umm." God I should have thought about what I was going to say. My mind was blanking and his genuine smile was making this harder. "Look I don't want to give you mixed signals. I well do you... Umm do you think this is a date?" I looked up and shock registered in his eyes. I had done this all wrong, what the fuck. I really hoped he did not think I wanted it to be a date. Man I was bad at this.
"Heh... Well you know... I was..." Christian was not meeting my eyes and I suddenly felt like an ass. He was probably hoping it was. "Ok look Rose I have something to confess. But please... God please don't punch me."
"Umm... Ok?" What the hell. Why would I be punching him, what did he do? I straightened up and looked up at him, making sure to hold a stable gaze.
"I like you yes. I think you're pretty and awesome to talk to. And if I actually thought I had a chance I would totally go for you. But... Well it's obvious you like someone else." He tilted his head towards the door that led to the kitchen. "It's hard not to miss you two flirting. So well I wanted it to be a date but I'm not dumb. I wasn't even going to ask but ummm... Fuck, please don't punch me ok?"
"Geez Christian just spit it out already." My patience was wearing thin, why the hell did he ask me on a date when he knew I liked Dimitri. And why would I punch him. He needed to start talking and fast the small amount of patience I had was about to snap now, I had to know what was going on, it had to be bad if he thought I would punch him.
"Your brother figured out I worked here last week. He figured you were spending your days here, I have no idea how he found out, I swear I did not tell him. He stopped me outside while I waited for Tasha. And well he doesn't like Dimitri, he told me he wanted to keep you guys away from each other. He asked me if I liked you and when I said yes he came up with the idea... He paid me to ask you out. And before you hit me I said no to the money but damn Rose he kept insisting. And then he got the tickets for me. And well all he wanted was for me to distract you. I knew you would still go for Dimitri but I kind of wanted to see if you would say yes to me and..." I stopped his rambling. I could not listen anymore. Mason was taking this too far.
"Let me get this straight. My jackass of a fucktard brother, paid you to take me out on a date so I would stay away from Dimitri?" My words came through clenched teeth. Mason was going to die. He was not going to do this to me. It was my life, and I was the one running this show. I know he cared about me, and only wanted me to have the very best, but he was doing a horrible job of this. He was making me unhappy, he was trying to run my life, and in the process ruining it. Come Friday I would be an adult, one he could not tell what to do.
"Pretty much. Are you mad at me?" Christian was cringing away, clearly waiting for me to snap and punch him. And for a second I wanted to, but then I stopped, Mason I was mad with Mason.
"Oh no. Honestly I would have done the same thing in your place. I'm beyond pissed at him." I got off the seat and started pacing. "So he wants to fuck with my life? He wants to pick what is best for me? Fine." I turned and faced Christian. "You're going to help me. We are going to make my brother think I like you. We are going to fuck with him. You down?" I stared at him waiting for an answer. I heard something shuffle and noticed Dimitri had joined us a look of interest on his face. I suppose I must have looked a sight, when I got an idea I got excited, and this was going to be epic.
"Umm sure but I know I'm not in a position to ask for favors, but can I ask for one?" He looked between Dimitri and I. And then down at the table, he held his hands tightly together, and looked a little ashamed.
"What favor is this?" Dimitri asked for me and took a step closer to me. Dimitri was becoming protective of me, not that I minded. If anything it was turning me on. I was surely becoming one horny ass fuck. Oh man he looked so good when he was being dominating.
"I kind of like Lissa. And seeing as you're spoken for do you think that maybe..." I had to laugh, why the hell did he not go for her first. Did he think she did not like him, god this boy was a dumbass.
"Yes god fuck yes I can help with that! Geez took you long enough. How could you not see that she likes you!" I sighed loudly and started to laugh again. Wow had things taken a slightly crazy turn. But all of which I was happy for. Mason had to stop fucking with my life. And he was going to pay. And now Lissa was going to be happy, I would get Dimitri she would get Christian and Mason, Oh Mason was going to pay.
"So we have a plan to make." Dimitri pulled up a chair while I slid back into the booth. I rubbed my hands together, and waggled my eyebrows. Oh this was going to be good.
"Yes we do dear. And I know exactly where to start. Tomorrow Christian will pick me up, we will tell him we are going on a date" I waved between Christian and myself. "When I will actually be on a date with Dimitri. And you Christian will have a date with Lissa. We are going to make Mason think we are dating and when he's convinced we are going to give him some wonderful news!" Oh yes this was going to be even better than I thought.
"What news is that?!" Christian was nearly jumping in his seat. He must like messing with people as much as I do. I grabbed Dimitri's hand and gave a pointed look to Christian.
"I will let you know when the time is right." I smirked at the boys. Oh this was going to be good, Mason was going to flip out by the end of this, he was going to learn not to fuck with me.
"I like that look on you." Dimitri turned my face towards him. He lightly traced my lips with his pointer finger and I shivered.
"What look is that?" I raised my brows at him a seductive smile taking over. God he did such wonderful things to me. His fingers felt so good against my lips, it was making me become wet again.
"That you're up to no good." I leaned in and closed the space between us kissing him deeply. As with every kiss we had so far the world disappeared, time stopped, and everything was forgotten.
"Oh god guys really! I'm right here!" Christian was trying to get out of the booth but his efforts weren't working. The booth was small and Dimitri's chair was in his way. It was funny that he had liked me, but I was glad he was cool now, that and I was about to hook him up with Lissa, if anything he owed me.
"Mmmmm." I slowly pulled away from Dimitri. I looked at Christian from the corner of my eye and laughed at what I saw. He looked horrified. "Awe sorry little boy, forgot you've never been kissed."
"Ha, funny. I have kissed plenty. I just don't want to see you two go at it." He finally got out of the booth as someone walked in. Dimitri grabbed my hand and pulled me to the back.
Suddenly I was up against a wall, Dimitri's lips on mine, his body close, as his hands started to feel around my body. I lightly moaned into the kiss, fuck I wanted him so badly. The ache in my core was unbearable. Fuck I was so horny, and so was he. I took the chance to feel him up, and as my hand passed by lightly over his buldge, Dimitri pulled back.
"You have no idea the things I want to do to you. I have never wanted someone this badly." His hands reached behind me and squeezed my ass.
"Oh I do know, you do the same to me." I mimicked his action and squeezed his ass as well. God what a perfect ass it was. Squats, man he must do a million squats.
"You going over Lissa's soon?" Dimitri pulled away and started to prep a new batch of, oh god knows what.
"Yea, I think she will be pleased to know what is going on. Though I think Andre is up to something to." Dimitri looked up confused and I laughed at myself. I had forgotten Dimitri did not know him, I was so use to telling him everything.
"It's Lissa's brother he works with Mason. He brought her into work too trying to get her a job." I shrugged my shoulders, but Dimitri looked around nervously.
"I don't like those guardians. My father use to be one. I think they do more than they say." I was caught off guard it was the first time he had ever spoken of his father.
"Why do you think that?" This peaked my interest, they had also made me uncomfortable, and Abe had really thought it was a bad idea for me to join them. I was going to have to find out what was going on there, they clearly were up to no good.
"My father was always gone. As a child I always thought his job was so cool. He would guard such important people. He would come home with amazing gifts, but he was ever barely home. Then one day he never returned. My family and I never got an answer, that and when I went to go investigate when I got older, they told me he never worked for them." Dimitri looked up his eyebrows furrowed. " I am 100% positive my father worked for them. I'm glad you and Lissa will not be involved. But I would be lying if I did not say Mason being on of them doesn't set me off."
"I understand completely. I told you that man stopped Mason. I do not get that though. Anyways I guess I should not worry too much. I am not part of it, and neither is she. All is well. And Mason needs to learn his lesson." I smirked, and Dimitri stepped closer.
"I'm glad I don't want you involved in anything like that." Dimitri closed the space between us again and hugged me, my phone ringing broke the tense atmosphere.
"Hey Liss!" I was excited to talk to her, god I had so much to tell her. And I knew she was going to be estatic.
"Hey Rose baby, you ready for me to pick you up?" She sounded like her normal cheery self. This was good, I was still scared she was secretly mad at me, though after today she would have no reason to. Everything was going to work itself out. With one last lingering kiss, I left Dimitri with the promise of seeing him tomorrow. I had some planning to do now with Lissa and I knew this part was going to be fun.
