Hair – check.

Cologne – check.

Breath – minty fresh – check.

Dimitri was standing in front of the full length mirror in his room, assessing himself as he got ready for the dinner with Rose's group.

He was feeling funny inside. Never had he made an 'effort' to look nice to impress some girl. But today he wanted to look good, perfect even. There was something about Rose, he couldn't quite decipher. It was as if she made everything bright and beautiful, just by her mere presence. So beautiful was she that he could sigh every time he looked at her. Full of energy and spirit, this girl was something else….

Taking a quick look at the clock on his nightstand, he found it was almost time for the dinner. Pocketing his phone and wallet, he moved outside, locking the door. Christian was already with Lissa.

The view outside was breathtaking. It wasn't dawn yet, but near. The sky was lightly lit up with hues of purple and oranges and though you could hardly see it, his moroi senses mad him aware of the beautiful painting above his head. The stars and the moon were still there, making everything look more mysterious. There was just one word for it – Beautiful.

Though not as beautiful as Rose…

'Aaaaaaahhhhh,' a shriek made him halt on his steps. He looked around but found no one in view. Frowning, he took another step towards the direction of cafeteria when another shriek broke through the air.

This time, he recognized the voice, it was Rose's and it was coming from the female Dhampir dorms on the left of him.

Rose shrieking? Now that was unheard of! There must be some big problem…..

He didn't even stop to make a decision. With the speed of a cheetah, he took off in the direction of the dorm building. His mind telling him just one thing – Rose is in trouble. Find her.

He entered the lobby, half believing that he would be caught by the matron, but there was no one. Thanking his lucky stars, he started to move.

Idly, he wondered where he would go. It was not like he knew which of the one was her room and not to mention, if he got caught, he would be in a big trouble!

But it seemed that his feet had mind of their own, as they took off to the stairs leading to upper floors. He didn't encounter anyone in the hallway and that felt…strange.

Suddenly, he came to stop in front of a door in the hallway of the third floor. Something inside him told, it was Rose's dorm. He hesitated before knocking. What would she think seeing him there? Rose was no damsel in distress, so ' I heard your shriek and came to check if you are okay' would surely be earning him no good points.

Shaking his head, he knocked twice. It doesn't matter what she would think. He had to check if she was alright.

The door swung open and his jaw dropped. Standing in front of him was Rose with a frown in her face, her hair was out. One of her fingers had a little scratch like the one you get when handling broken glass and she limping on her feet – tell tale sign of stabbed toe. That explained the two shrieks. But that wasn't the reason of his dropped jaw.

It was her attire. She was wearing what he knew girls called it 'baby doll lingerie set'. It was all black lace and damn did it look good on her. Barely covered in the see through black set in the amazing body of hers, she was a sight to behold.

His earlier surprise flared into something else, something primal as his carnal needs made their presence known, making his cock twitch.

Rose getting the hang of situation, looked mortified (and probably a little embarrassed) tried to close the door, only to be stopped by Dimitri's foot.

Now, he may have ended up here purely by chance, but he wasn't going to let the opportunity slide. He pushed the door, taking himself inside her room.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" she whisper – yelled at him.

"I don't know," he replied, striding towards her as a predator does to his prey. His eyes were fixed at hers. For every step Dimitri took forward, Rose stepped back.

"You..you..sh..should g..go," she stuttered hitting the wall behind her back. Dimitri smirked, putting both his hands on the either side of her face, but not touching her. He leaned down a little,

"Maybe I should," he said "But I don't want to. Don't you like that I am here? Мой чертов сексуальный ангел," he growled the last part sexily in her ears. His Russian accent was more pronounced (in the way it does when he was horny). And now, he was fucking horny!

"Somebody might come," she shivered as leant a bit more, his breath fanning on her neck.

"No one will," he said pressing his lips to her exposed flesh.

"No..No..No.." she said squeezing her eyes shut as her voice came out as a strangled moan. He noticed that her eyes weren't the only thing she squeezed; her thighs too were pressed together.

"You don't want this?" he whispered in her hair, nuzzling into her neck, pulling himself closer to her.

"Ye..No!" she gasped as his hand moved from the wall and grabbed her waist.

"And this?" he asked, as his other hand groped her sexy ass, kneading it hard while he bit and sucked her earlobe.

"Uh..Uh..," she was breathing hard now and it seemed that the only thing that kept him upright were Dimitri's arms around her, "No .." she said but not trying to push him off as she had done earlier. Dimitri knew she was bluffing.

"And this?" Dimitri smirked pushing her hard against the wall with his body and shoving his rock – hard cock into her belly. She gasped and a moan escaped her lips as he started to kiss her neck and shoulders.

"Yess," she hissed. Dimitri looked smug. He knew how to work up his women.

His hands started to move and explore her body and the curves that they had dreamt of all the time. One of his hands went down to cup her bottom, while the other one made its journey upwards to squeeze her left breast.

She moaned with her eyes closed, shoving more of her junk on him, pushing herself. He roughly grabbed her chin. Looking into her eyes, he saw the look of the same lust and desire he felt. He couldn't control himself now; he crushed his lips on her, initiating a very heated and demanding kiss. Rose was taken by surprise at the intensity but responded with the same vigor.

Dimitri loved rough sex. But due to his regular choice of partners, it was always out option. The Moroi chicks couldn't even handle a shove on the wall! He had only been with two Dhampirs in his whole life. They were something.. but still it was nothing compared to what was happening now.

"Oh Roza.." he moaned palming her boobs. He tore away her top, so they lied unobstructed on his sight now. Her strawberry pink nipples demanding to be eaten. "I love these…so soft...so fucking beautiful!" he said pulling her nipples.

"Bet you are seeing one, this size up, for the first time," she breathed flattered by his earlier comments. He smirked, she was right. Even after shagging million girls, Roza's assets were incomparable.

"Take it in your mouth, will you?" she looked at him coyly from under her lashes biting the side of her lips. Fuck! he could come on the sight of her.

When his appetite was well satisfied on her nubs, he, without warning, he lifted her throwing her hard on her bed. He rubbed her panty clad pussy and she moaned, "This feels so good,"

"And you wanted me to leave?" Dimitri teased. Soon all their clothes were on the floor. He couldn't waste any time, he had to be inside her. Looking at her eyes, he saw her approval.

He slowly, very slowly (taking on account of her virgin state) entered her.

"Fuck Roza! That's so tight! Fuck!" he swore half in Russian and half in English. Rose's head was thrown back in ecstasy. She was moaning and whimpering at the same time.

His cock approached her obstruction. Again, he looked into her eyes, asking for permission. She nodded and he gave a rough push breaking the barrier. It was ecstasy, pure pleasure. He wanted to just forget about all the restrictions and fuck her senseless.

"Fuck Roza…!" he hissed every now and then. Rose was just chanting his name like a prayer.

"God, baby…"he swore loud in Russian. Rose screamed his name as she climaxed. "DIMITRIIIII…." she sang his name to the heavens. At the same time, he let go and his climax hit him.

But something was different…..

His eyes shot open and he scrambled up sitting on the bed. His breathing was hard. It took a minute for him to get into his surroundings. There was no Rose. It was just him sitting on his OWN bed clad only in his wet boxers.

Wet boxers? he swore and ran to the bathroom to clean himself up.

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck ! It was just a dream, a fucking dream! (Both literally and figuratively). He remembered coming back to his dorm earlier after the chat with Tatiana and then he stripped and went to take a small nap as there was still an hour and a half left and then the dream…

He hastily looked at the clock above on the wall. There were still twenty minutes left. Cleaning himself up, he took a shower to control his libido trying not to think about it.

Hell! Aren't dreams supposed to be blurry and stuff? If so..Why couldn't he just forget it? Every bit of it, every small bit was ingrained in his mind. He now came to see the differences between his dreams and reality – like if it were true – he would have been caught by the matron as soon as he entered the lobby - he could have never found her dorm room – hell! Rose herself could have thrown him out!

Sighing, he now pulled on his clothes, no longer looking forward to going on the dinner.


"Hey Rose!" Lissa called her friend approaching the table with her tray in her hand.

Rose wanted to return the greeting but her mouth was full of the bread rolls, she had stuffed inside, so she settled for an acknowledging nod.

"Jeez Rose! Nobody will take you as a guardian if you eat like this. Half of their wealth will be wasted on your food alone!" Christian snickered from beside Lissa.

Rose swallowed her roll, "Oh believe me, and Lissa would, wouldn't you?"

In a rare attempt to joke, Lissa kept quiet looking doubtfully at Rose's plates and then back to her.

"Hah!" Rose exclaimed dramatically. "I can't believe it! My best friend since four, for whom, I threw my book at a teacher and called her a 'fascist bastard' doesn't want me because I eat too much!" Rose said mock hurt.

"Hello," a deep Russian voice sung approaching their table.

Rose whipped her head to see Dimitri with a tray of food, standing beside her. She blinked a few times. Is she dreaming or Dimitri Belikov was standing at their table greeting everyone.

"Can I sit here?" he asked giving her a swoon – worthy smile. She still wasn't sure what was he doing there. The man always eats alone!

"Come again?" she asked just to make sure she hadn't heard anything wrong.

His smile widened as her eyes. A wave of déjà vu crossed through them as their first meeting was recalled, and the burst out laughing.

"Of course, please." she said in between her chuckles. He too was shaking his head to control his laughter. Both Lissa and Christian were amused as well as pleasantly happy, seeing their respective best friends, mingle with each other, sharing some kind of personal joke.

"So for those, who don't know, This is Dimitri Belikov, my best friend and roommate," Christian introduced as soon as their chuckles subsided. He then turned to Lissa, "Baby, You don't mind? I invited him,"

Lissa got into his act (seeing as she was the one who had actually invited Dimitri) and said, "Of course not," she turned to Dimitri, "You are welcome anytime,"

"Thank you Vasilisa," Dimitri said politely. Lissa glared at him and Rose and Christian snickered.

"What?" he turned to Rose.

"She doesn't like being called Vasilisa. Its 'Lissa', the Americanized version of her name," Rose explained. Dimitri knew this seeing as he had got the first hand threat by the girl himself earlier in the attic, but heck! When had he taken any warning seriously? He was happy seeing Lissa a bit riled up!

Lissa snickered and Dimitri looked smug.

"Guys, don't mind but I brought a company," Eddie's voice approached them as the person himself took a seat beside Christian. Straining their neck to see the new guest, they were met by a sight of Red hair – Mason.

Dimitri and Christian stiffened as did Mason, seeing Dimitri in the table. Their earlier exchange wasn't forgotten.

"Please, Mason. You're most welcome. The more, the merrier."Lissa said, smiling her charismatic smiling.

Everyone settled in and started digging on their food.

"Hey. You're Dimitri Belikov right?" Eddie said extending his hands towards him.

"Eddie Castlie. It's a pleasure to meet you," Dimitri said smiling politely, taking his hand.

"Oh dude! After what you did to Jesse yesterday, the pleasure is all mine," Eddie laughed along with everyone at the table bar Mason. Dimitri blushed a little at the compliment, though it was barely noticeable, Rose found it adorable.

"Hey Rose? How are you?" Mason asked in his sweet self.

Rose smiled, "I am good." No further attempts were made to make a conversation. She was still a little upset by his caveman behavior yesterday, not to mention he kissed her without permission.

"Lissa!" a shrill cry carried through the cafeteria. All the eyes whipped towards the entrance. A mop of Jet black hair in yellow dress came flying toward them. Lissa squealed and shot out, running to meet the girl approaching halfway.

They hugged furiously, still squealing in delight and excitement.

"Rose!" the girl noticed and launched herself at the brunette standing a few steps behind Lissa.

Rose chuckled. "Hey Natalie," she said in a sing song voice.

"Oh my god! It's been too long. I've missed you guys so much! I've literally been jumping the entire flight and Daddy threatened to sedate me if I didn't take it down a notch. Oh good Lord! You guys should see the presents I've brought for you from the court. They are gorgeous! And Oh Rose! Look at you. You look so stunning. Have you grown an extra cup size, because your breasts look quite bigger.."

"NATALIE!" both Rose and Lissa hissed. "Breathe..breathe.." they commanded.

Natalie took a deep breath and chuckled mouthing a sorry. Rose shook her head. This was Natalie for you always excited for everything!

They went back to the table, this time with Natalie on their tow.

"Let me introduce you to my friends.." Lissa started once everyone was settled again, only to be cut off by a shriek.

"Ohmigod! It's Dimitri Belikov!"
