DPOV
When we landed at court, we were shown to our rooms. Mine was next door to Christian's and across from Eddie's. Our rooms were at the opposite end of a corridor from Rose, Lissa, Janine, and Alberta's rooms. Ivashkov was staying in the apartment he keeps here at court. Wish he would stay here permanently I think to myself. I know I am just being jealous, but I see the way he looks at Rose. He loves her too. No where near what I feel for her, but love none the less. I am only slightly soothed by the fact that she rejects all his advances. I would like it best if he stopped making them, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen for a long while.
To take my mind off of things I decide to take a walk. I grab my coat, and head to the door. While I'm leaving I notice Alberta entering the Princess's room. Hmm, I wonder what's going on. I briefly contemplate stopping and seeing, but decide against it. If Roza needs my help, she will ask for it. I continue out to the grounds. I breath the crisp night air and sigh. This was just what I needed. I make my way across the grounds towards the coffee shop in the 'mall' type building. Walking in I order a hott chocolate to go. I'm not a big coffee fan myself. While waiting I hear a hesitant "Hi Guardian Belikov" from behind me. I turn to find Mia Ranaldi standing in front of me. When I first met her, I had a strong dislike for the girl. She had started some pretty nasty rumors about Roza. But after she helped Rose defeat those Strigoi in Spokane I had a new appreciation for her.
"Hello Mia" I greet her.
"What are you doing here, shouldn't you be at St. Vladamirs what with the attack and all?" She asks, worried. She had attended the academy, and I'm sure had friends there.
"I had to come along with Vasilisa, she is here for a few days" I inform her.
"Lissa's here? Did Rose come too!" she sounded excited.
"Yes, Rose came along too. So did Eddie Castle and Christian Ozera"
"Really? I'm so excited to see them! If you see them can you tell them I am looking for them, and not to leave without saying goodbye?" I nod. She thanks me and then runs off, to presumably look for the others. I grab my hott chocolate and set off again. I walk through the building, looking at all the stores. Finally after about fifteen minutes I find the one I'm looking for. The jewelry store.
As I walk in I am greeted by a friendly middle aged Moroi. "Good morning Sir." It definitely feels weird having a Moroi call me sir, "is there anything I can help you with today?" I consider turning down his help, but well I have never done this before. I decide I could use the help.
"Yes, I am thinking about purposing, and I need to find the perfect ring." I tell him. He nods and leads me over to a case full of diamond rings.
"These are most of the engagement rings we have in stock," he tells me, I look down at all the extravagant rings and know that none of them are the right ones. I need the perfect ring. One that will define our love, while not looking out of place on Roza. I need one that is... well her. It has to be her, but it also has to be me. God this is so hard. "See any you like?"
"None of them seem to be right for her and it has to be perfect for her." I tell him, already frustrated.
"You're Russian, right?" He asks me. I look up confused.
"Yes"
"Come here then. We have a few Russian style rings in at the moment" he leads me to another case. There amongst the random rings, I spot the perfect one. It's got three bands, winding together. One is gold, one is silver and one is bronze. The silver band has little diamonds encrusted in it every few inches. It's simple yet elegant and beautiful. Just like my Roza. I smile and look up at the Moroi man. "I'll take that one"
I lay back in my bed and sigh. I miss Roza terribly. It has only been a few hours sense I've seen her but she occupies my every thought. I gently caress the velvet box sitting on my chest. What will Roza think of it? Will she like it? I hope so. If I know Roza, she will. I know it is customary to ask a girls father before you purpose, but I don't know who her father is. Even though the thought scares even me, I guess I am going to have to ask Janine. God help me when I do.
I am overwhelmed with the need to see Roza's face. Everyone should be sleeping by now. I get up head for the door. I look out to make sure no one is around before silently leaving my room and heading down the hall. As I near her room, I eye the door I know is Janine's skeptically. I hope she doesn't decide to come out right now. I wouldn't live long enough to purpose. I knock as quietly as possible. If she is asleep she won't hear it, and I don't want to wake her up. I wait a few minutes, knock softly once more, then decide she isn't going to answer. As I turn to leave I hear a soft "Long time no see Comrade" from behind me. I turn to see her silhouetted in the doorway. She is, of course, devastatingly beautiful.
"Hi" I tell her lamely. She just smiles and grabs my hand to drag me into her room. She looks up and down the hallway before closing the door and turning to me. "I thought you weren't going to answer"
"I was in the shower" she gestures to her wet hair, and the towel she's wearing. How did I not notice that before? I must have been really distracted to not notice that Roza was all but naked in front of me.
"Oh, sorry to interrupt, feel free to continue. Holler if you need help" I give her a seductive smile. She returns my smile with a breathtaking one of her own. She grabs my hand and pulls me towards her.
"I was having a hard time getting all the soap out of my hair" She informs me innocently. I have my shirt off practically before she finishes speaking.
"Allow me to help" I was already bare footed so all that is left on me is my pajama pants. My Roza smiles and reaches for the draw string on my pants.
"Please do" She says as she lets my pants fall to the floor. She takes in my naked form. As her eyes travel up and down my body, I reach out and pull her to me. Her lips meet mine in a passionate kiss, and I feel at peace for the first time sense I got off the plane. She wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me closer, deepening our kiss. I smile against her lips. I just can't seem to get enough of her. I unwrap her towel and let it slip to the floor and join my cloths. I feel her herself up and wrap her legs around me. I walk with her into the bathroom, and turn on the water.
"Let's get that soap out of your hair Roza." I murmur into the crook of her neck, and give it a small nip. She just moans, and I take that as a 'okay' and step into the shower, still carrying her. I make sure her legs and arms are locked tight, and let her go. Reaching up I position her under the water, and run my hands through her hair. All the while she is making it very hard to concentrate. She is placing kisses up and down my neck, my jaw line, my ears, anywhere her lips can reach. When I am sure her hair is shampoo free, I run my hands down her body. I feel her shiver beneath my hands and smile. My hands make their way to her center, feeling her heat. I stroke her lovingly. She moans every time I touch her. I know she wants me just as bad as I want her. I ache to be inside her. She knows, because she grinds her hips against me teasingly. I move her so her back is against the wall of the shower, and lower her down, letting myself slip inside of her. She moans loudly as I settle myself completely inside of her. Her breathing is picking up, which just turns me on more.
"I love you" She whispers in my ear, voice full of passion.
"And I love you Roza" I tell her as I begin to move her up and down. I am completely in control of our lovemaking, but I decide not to tease her today. I don't want to slip so I reach over and turn the water off, step out of the shower, and set Roza on one of the higher counters, without ever taking myself out of her. Now that she can move she thrusts her hips at me as hard and fast as she can. "Oh God Dimitri, Oh God" She murmurs over and over. The sound of her voice drives me into a frenzy and I thrust harder. I can feel myself getting close, but I hold off, waiting for her to catch up. As I feel her muscle's start to tighten I bend my knees and push up as hard as I can, sending us both over the edge into a sea of pleasure.
It take's a while for our breathing to get back to normal, but when it does I slowly pull myself out of her and grab a couple towels. I wrap one around my waist and take one to Roza, who's still slightly breathless on the counter top. I wrap it around her and take her in my arms again. I walk like that to the bed and I lay down with her in my arms. "I missed you today" I whisper in her ear.
"I'm glad you came to visit, I missed you too" She tells me with a smile.
"Have you been having fun at Court? Lots to see, lots to do" I tell her with a chuckle. One could get into a lot of mischief at court.
"Well me and Lissa had a meeting with the queen" She tells me. I give her a questioning look. I knew the queen wanted Lissa to come visit, but I wasn't sure why. She sure didn't waste time getting to them either. Rose tells me about their visit with the queen. I grow more and more astounded with each word she says. I can't believe Lissa would compel the queen! Then something else sunk in.
"I'm going to be guarding Christian?" I said incredulously. This was definitely too good to be true. Rose smiles sweetly at me.
"Yes, that seems to be the plan" I feel my heart sore at the prospect of being able to be with her. This will make everything so much easier! Now all I had to do was get The Badass Janine Hathaway to agree to let me marry her daughter. Piece of cake.....
The Picture of the ring is on my profile!
