SORRY IT'S BEEN SO LONG! I DEEPLY APOLOGIZE FOR MY LATENESS! HERE'S THIS CHAPTER! HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND REVIEW! I KNOW THAT IT HAS A LOT OF INFO/USELESS PARTS, BUT I PROMISE THAT THEY ARE NEEDED IN THE STORY.

ROSE POV

Dimitri was a good man. After he helped me through my lover's spat, he came downstairs to help cook dinner. Living in a house with more than thirty people had its benefits. (The guards live in another building but come to Rose's house for dinner. Dimitri, Eddie and Mia are the only ones that live with Rose. Mia isn't a guard! Think of Rose's house as the main building in a complex, except the guardians have smaller versions of her house around her actual house. So she owns a lot of land.) My kitchen was huge! My dining room was three times the size of one dining room. Let's not forget about the table. It's huge. I loved eating dinner with my family, and that included the guards and their spouses or families. The kitchen had four humongous refrigerators, four state of the art stoves and ovens, and a very elegant island in the middle. It was Betty Crocker's dream. I had to buy all of my groceries from the actual companies because Sam's Club didn't sell them in big enough sizes.

Dimitri handed me a tray of steak to season and when I finished I handed them to Christian, who put them on the big grill. We continued this pattern until all sixty-four steaks were grilled to perfection and placed on platters. The fries were placed in a deer fryer (kind of like an oversized one from McDonald's) and put in a big bowls. Lissa and I added cheese, tomatoes, bacon bits, croutons, and cucumbers to the lettuce and tossed it, not literally. The guys put sodas, plates, silverware, and cups with ice at each seat on the table. All of the food was put on a very long specially made Lazy Susan and we all sat down to eat. Dimitri sat on my left and Liss sat on my right. Christian sat next to Liss, and Adrian sat next to Dimitri. Tasha sat next to Christian. Eddie and Mia sat next to Adrian. The rest filled in their seats and looked at me.

"Hey you guys." I smiled.

'Heys' echoed from everyone.

"Dimitri is the new guy, he's my on base security and he lives in the house with me. He'll go every where I go. He's Russian."

"And sexy!" A female guard shouted.

Dimitri's face turned red while everyone laughed.

"I'll take a piece of that cake any day." Tasha said.

"I'm pretty sure you don't want your muffin top to get too out of control Tasha." I mumbled.

Dimitri choked on a laugh and sat down after a waving. The food was passed around and we all talked while we ate.

"Alright everyone." I said when we had all finished dinner. "We all know what comes after dinner."

"I don't." Dimitri smirked.

"I know that. After dinner we watch a music video by one of us. It happens to be my turn."

"Is everyone ready?" Eddie called.

"No Eddie we're just gonna sit here."

"Okay Rosie."

Eddie pressed a button and a huge flat T.V came from the ceiling. He turned it on and inserted a cd into the DVD player. After pressing play my song 'Dirrty' came on. Redman was also in the song. The video was in a nightclub. I was wearing a bikini and chaps.

Adrian whistled when my bikini bottoms were shown.

"Who picked this?" I said laughing. "I look like a slut."

"I did." Lissa said. "I like this one."

The video ended and everyone left to attend to their own business. Dimitri still at the table.

"So Comrade, what did you think?" I asked him.

"Uhh… well, uhhhhh…" was all he said.

"Yeah, that was the reaction that most of the world gave me."

"Nice song though."

"Thanks."

"Well, I'm going to go to bed. Thanks for helping with dinner." I told Dimitri.

"No problem, I'll walk you up."

He followed me up the stairs. We both stopped when we reached the meeting point of our rooms. I looked around at nothing, we were definitely having an awkward moment.

"So uh, night?" I said.

Dimitri stepped closer to me, we were chest to chest. I stopped breathing as he kissed my forehead.

"Goodnight Roza, моя сладкая, сладкая Roza." Dimitri smiled at me once more before he closed his door.

I stood in the hallway, momentarily stunned. I finally came to my senses and went to bed. For the first time, my dreams were filled with Dimitri caressing me with sweet nothings and kisses.

I woke with a start. It was one a.m. Dimitri was in the middle of giving me a full body massage and I had to wake up. That's Rose for you; always ruining a good time. Now that I was sexually fristrated, my body wouldn't allow me to sleep. I pulled off the covers and decided to go downstairs for a midnight snack.

When I arrived in the kitchen, I opened one of my fridges and took out some leftover steak. I also took out some warm up fries and put them in the microwave. While my food warmed up I sat at the island and sighed again.

"Something on your mind Roza?"

I shrieked and shrank away from the island. Dimitri sat across from me, drinking something from a mug.

"Dimitri? What are you doing here? You scared the shit out a me!"

"My apologizes Roza. I couldn't sleep, so I came downstairs for a cup of coffee. I see you're eating; why are you awake?"

"I, uh... also could not sleep." I stuttered. There was no way in hell that Dimitri was going to know that dreams of him naked kept me awake.

"Ah."

There was a moment of awkwardness between us. I felt the need to fill in the void that silence was making.

"So why couldn't you sleep?"I murmured.

"My dreams kept me awake, I guess you could say."

"Oh."

There was another moment of silence. I took the chance to study Dimitri. His hair was slightly disheveled and his eyes were darker, almost black. His jaw and chin had a hint of stubble on it, as if he hadn't shaved in two days. My eyes moved down and that's when my night turned brighter. Dimitri wasn't wearing a shirt. His chest was shaved and there were muscles... everywhere. His arm muscles flexed with every move he made and the man clearly had no shame in his eight pack either.

"Rose? Roza?"

My head snapped to Dimitri's face and I blushed. "Uh... yeah?"

"I thought you would like to know that your food is done."

"Oh thanks." I smiled as I pulled the food out of the microwave.

"So what's the plan for the weekend?" (REMEMBER, IT'S FRIDAY!TECHNICALLY SATURDAY MORNING!) Dimitri asked me as I sat down to eat.

"Well, Lissa, Christian, Tasha, and Adrian are all going to Disney World for Liss and Christian's anniversary, so I'm helping arrange their arrival, tickets, and helping Liss pack. They leave on Sunday and will be back in two weeks. We are not going because I have classes next week. Be prepared."

"For what?"

"At California State University, the students get a bit crazy when I have classes on campus."

"Crazy as in...?"

"As in guys chase me down and pledge their undying love for me and people stare at me in class. There might be the excited fan that tries to get too close every once in awhile."

"Nothing that I can't handle."

"Great." I had finished my food by then. "Well, when are you going back to bed?"

"When are you going back to bed?" Dimitri smirked.

"So we're playing this game?"

"Who said I was playing a game?"

I didn't notice that with each sentence we were getting closer. Our noses were close to touching. Dimitri's eyes moved down to my lips and then to my eyes. I stared into his eyes, they were captivating.

"Roza." Dimitri whispered.

"Yeah?"

"What would you do if I kissed you right now?"

I smiled. "I don't know how to tell you the answer to that."

Dimitri grinned before coming closer and kissing me. Once again, sparks flew as our lips connected. Our tongues battled for dominance and eventually, his won. We both pulled back at the same time, breathing hard and flustered. We stared at eachother for amoment before Dimitri spoke.

"Goodnight Roza." he uttered. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Night." I replied in a daze.

He walked out of the kitchen and to his room. When I was certain that is door had closed, I went to mine. After stretching into bed I quickly fell asleep, this time with no interuptions.
