I woke up cuddled into Dimitri. I remembered the day's events and decided to stay the way I was. I knew that if Dimitri knew I was awake he would make me get up and pull myself together. He made it clear that I would pull myself back together whether or not I wanted to. I from his monologue I realised he was back into mentor mode - I would make Lissa sorry she fired me, simply because Dimitri had said so. I didn't know if I should be happy or not with respects being back in the student-mentor situation. On one hand it might push our relationship back to what it originally was but on the other hand would it have the opposite effect?

"Roza come on I know your awake". ..Damn I thought, what had gave me away? Not that I moved.

"Roza, I'm going to get up now"

He wouldn't, would he?"

Yup he would.

"Dimmmitrrriii" I whined

"Why did you do that?"

"I told you I was getting up. Your small frame might be able to stay in the same position for hours but I can't I'm afraid. Besides it's late I need to get home and get a good nights sleep before I go to Hans inn the morning."

"Your going to Hans?"

"Yup"

"Guardian stuff"

"Got it in one" he winked at me.

"Dimitri, why don't you stay here tonight. My bed is more than big enough" I added as he eyed my couch. He gave me a funny look - one that I couldn't decipher - before he shrugged and walked into my room and hopped into his bed in his boxers.

-M- SCENE-

I hopped into my p.j.s - t-shirts and a pair of shorts, before joining Dimitri in the bed. It felt good to have someone beside me. Something familiar. It had been awhile since I last slept with Dimitri in the bed beside me but it felt right, as if he had never left. Except there was a funny feeling in my tummy - anticipation perhaps? I decided to find out!

I rolled towards Dimitri's back. I put one hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear "I love you Dimitri".

He rolled over to look at me

"In what way Roza?" he asked

"In this way" and I kissed him - like properly kissed him. Within moments he took the dominant role. I didn't mind, oddly enough the bedroom was not a place where I mind the male taking the dominant role, but then again maybe it was just Dimitri I didn't mind taking the dominant role.

It felt sooo good to be kissing Dimitri. Soon he started trailing tender kisses along my neck. One of his hands was behind my head, tangled up in my hair, while the other was making its way from my hip to my breast. Gently he started massaging me. My hands were in his hair. I pulled his lips back to mine and kissed him with everything I had. It was an amazing kiss, full of love and passion and everything that had happened over the past few days. Then he pulled away.

"Roza, what are we doing?"

"Is that I rhetorical question?" for some reason I felt elated, as if all the burdens of the world had been lifted off my shoulders.

"You know what I mean Roza"

"Well then I better answer you?"

"That would e the idea Roza"

"Why is it always the teachers that ask the questions?"

"Is that a rhetorical question?"

"Hmmm I love you Dimitri. I know what I want now. . . . ."

"Which is?"

"Give me a chance Comrade.. . . .. I want you"

"In what way?"

"God Dimitri I want you in everyway!"

"Everyway?"

"Everyway" I confirmed.

"So what do you want first. . .missionary. . .or something a little more erotic. . . ."

"Dimmmitrrriii"

"What Roza" he asked raising one eyebrow

"That's not what I meant"

"Oh so you don't want to have sex, so then what do you want?"

"I want your ring on my finger, I want to wake p every morning and find you by my side,. I want to have celebration dinners and movie nights and a family unit, with you and Mason and any other kids you can give me. I want us together, forever." I finished.

"Well I think erotic sex sounds much more exciting."

I tried to raise an eyebrow at him. Needless to say I failed which made him laugh.

"I know what you want Roza and I'll gladly give you that as much as I possibly can."

"I love you Comrade."

"I love you too Roza".

I pulled his lips to mine again and this time he didn't pull away. He started to moan and put one of his hands inside my shorts ( his other hand was of course in my hair) and started to rub me. I moaned in return. It felt good, sooo good and he knew it. He untangled his hand from my hair and took off my top. He started to kiss his way down my body. It was amazing. Than he came to my shorts. He quickly disposed of them along with my panties and started to eat me out. It was out of this world amazing. Then he stopped. I looked at him and was just short of whimpering. He gave me an evil grin.

"Your turn Roza"

I gladly obeyed. He was huge. I threw his boxers onto the growing pile of clothes beside the bed and ran my hand up and down him before leaning my head down over him, licking and sucking for all I was worth and judging by the sounds of him he was enjoying it.

"Roza, Roza stop I want to cum in you first."

I debated whether or not to stop - I was quite enjoying myself but before long my body over rode my desire to tease Dimitri. I pulled away and let him position himself. He started off slowly but before long he picked up pace, as I urged him to go faster. Finally we both had our release. It was amazing, really there was no other way to describe it.

DPOV

I woke next morning in bed, beside Roza and my heart lifted. It was nearly time for me to get up because I had to go meet Hans and ask for a new assignment. I was most displeased with Lissa for her treatment of Lissa but seeing as Roza refused to question it there was little could do. But I was now thinking of maybe taking some time off, maybe go to Russia for awhile before getting assigned to a Moroi. I wonder what the possibility of myself and Roza's would have at getting assigned to a Moroi family perhaps? I decided to take a shower and then discuss our options with Hans.

Roza was still asleep when it was time for me to go. I didn't want to disturb her so I wrote her a note saying where I was and that I would be back as soon as possible. I had let down my barriers to let Adrian know that everything was fine and that he could drop Mason back whenever he wanted. Although I doubt that would be any time soon because they got on so well. I had initially thought that Adrian only put in so much effort with Mason because of his feelings for Roza but I knew now that I was wrong. Adrian had grown up a lot since they had all left the Academy. In fact Adrian had more than likely matured more than any of the rest of them but maybe that was due o the fact that he was that little bit older than the rest?

I reached the Guardian building and went to find Hans, even though I was around 10 mins early I doubt he would refuse to see me and I was right.

"Dimitri come on in. what can I do for you?"

"Well Hans first off I'm not 100% what I want. I suppose I could do with a bit of advice with regard my Guarding future."

"Your not thinking of leaving are you"

"well yes and no."

"Things for Roza are a little hard at the moment with Lissa's dismissal and everything - it's more than the loss f a job, it's personal. A lot has gone on with Lissa over the last while and she needs a bit of time out - not that she'd ever admit to that."

"So you're her on Rose's behalf?"

"No I'm here on my own behalf. I was thinking I could take some time out, perhaps go to Russia, then return to Guarding. But here's the catch I was wondering if there was somewhere both of us could Guard and keep Mason with us at the same time."

"Emmm hate to state the obvious Belikov but did you think of Court?"

"Too near to Lissa"

"Would you agree to guard an Academy and perhaps become instructors?"

"That is a very good idea. Is there any Academy's in particular that will be hiring any time soon?"

"Well there is your old Academy in Russia, Basil's but I believe languages are not Rose's strong point?"

"Basil's isn't far from my hometown. She and Mason could always stay with my mother until something else comes up."

"How soon will you take the position?"

"two weeks?"

"Perfect. I'll arrange all of that for you. I also assume you know Belikov that attacks on the Academies are becoming more and more frequent so it might not be all that long before a job for both of you pops up?"

"yes I am."

"HANS!"

"I hate to say t Hans but I don't think her Highness is very happy."

"I highly doubt she is, but there is very little can be done about that."

Within seconds Lissa burst into Hans office. She turned on me.

"how DARE you. I told you not to resign - I ordered it."

"When did you find out?"

"When your replacement arrived this morning."

"How rude of me I should have told you in person but then again I had more on my mind, you weren't my first priority."

"Well then what was? As a member of the Royal Guard you sign your life for the rulers"

"Not on any official document and seeing as I was not head of the Royal Guard I wasn't sworn in."

"It's an unspoken rule"

"So is keeping the head of Royal Guard unless they commit treason"

"That is completely different."

"no it isn't."

"Yes it is."

"How about we agree to disagree? But the situation remains the same. I have resigned as a member f the Royal Guard and am going on vacation. Now if you'll excuse me, Hans ,Your Majesty." and I strolled out laving Hans to deal with her. Thankfully her tantrums were no longer part of my job description.
