CHAPTER 20

RPOV

I was waiting in the parking lot for Dimitri to come and pick me up. Friday night had finally arrived and I was excited to spend this weekend with Dimitri. He hadn't told me where we'd be going, but he'd asked me to pack a bag for the weekend so I figured we'd be staying somewhere overnight.

At first, I'd thought I wouldn't be able to make it. Christian had been asking a lot of questions about where I was going and I'd only been able to give him vague answers because he couldn't know yet about Dimitri and me. He was getting suspicious, I think.

It was only because he was supposed to meet Lissa tonight that he hadn't followed me to the parking lot and see for himself where I was going and who I was going with.

Dimitri arrived a few minutes later and got out of his car. He kissed me on the cheek as he took the bag from me and put it in the trunk. Like the true gentleman he was, he opened the car door for me. I gave him a warm smile before getting inside.

"Are you going to tell me yet where you're taking me?" I asked as we drove toward the highway.

Dimitri smiled. "No."

"Are we staying at a hotel?" I continued my questioning. He shook his head and I frowned. "Are we staying at your place?" He shook his head again. "Then why did I have to bring an overnight bag?"

He glanced over at me for a brief moment and reached out for my hand, lacing our fingers together. "You'll see soon enough," he murmured, kissing my knuckles softly.

"It better be good," I warned.

He just smiled again.

Almost an hour later, we arrived at our destination. I didn't recognize this place at all. We were in the middle of the woods and if I'd been with anyone else but Dimitri in this car, I would've probably freaked out. But this was Dimitri. I trusted him completely.

"Oh my God," I breathed when Dimitri stopped the car. My eyes almost bugged out as I stumbled out of the car and took in the view. "A lake house?" I said, turning to him.

He nodded, looking at me unsure. "You like it?"

I grinned at him, excited. "I love it! This place is incredible!"

Dimitri smiled, relieved.

"Is this yours?" I asked, walking up the wooden steps toward the door. Dimitri followed with our bags and opened the door for me.

"No," he answered. "Ivan owns it. He said we could have it for the weekend."

My eyes widened. "Seriously? This is Ivan's?"

"Yes. He inherited it from his grandparents when they passed away," Dimitri said.

He showed me around the house. It was all wooden, the furniture as well. There was a fireplace in the living room and a large flat screen. The leather couch looked really comfortable. The kitchen was almost as big as the living room and was beautifully decorated. But best of all was the Jacuzzi adjacent to the master bedroom. Ivan's grandparents must've been very rich to be able to afford a place like this.

"Oh my God!" I exclaimed when Dimitri showed me the Jacuzzi. Now I understood why he'd told me to bring my swimsuit.

Dimitri grinned. "I thought you'd love that."

I walked over to him and, wrapping my arms around his neck, I kissed him fiercely. "You are the best boyfriend in the world, comrade."

He blushed and glanced away briefly before he met my eyes and smiled. "You mean that?"

"Of course I do," I said smiling.

His smile widened and he pressed his lips against mine. After we'd put our stuff away in the bedroom, we went back downstairs to the kitchen and made homemade pizza together. Dimitri went to the store for the ingredients – there was a small town ten minutes away from the lake house – while I checked out the rest of this place.

When Dimitri returned, we set to work. Half of the time, I didn't know what I was doing – it was no secret I couldn't cook – so I followed Dimitri's lead and helped him as best as I could. I had to admit, the pizza tasted great. It was one of the best pizzas I'd ever had.

Later that night, I popped some popcorn while Dimitri built a fire in the fireplace. I returned to the living room with a bowl of popcorn and snuggled under the blankets on the comfy couch. Dimitri put the movie in and sat down next to me, wrapping his arm around me, and I leaned into his chest. I let out a contented sigh when I felt his lips press against my hair.

I almost drifted off to sleep as Dimitri stroked my hair while we watched the movie. I was wide awake, though, when the action scenes came on.

When the credits rolled, I turned and looked at Dimitri, smiling. "You wanna watch another movie or do something else?"

He raised his eyebrow. "Like what?"

I grinned and moved closer to him. "Like this," I whispered before capturing his lips with mine.

His arms wrapped around me as he responded to the kiss, pulling me closer. "I think I prefer this," he murmured.

I smiled against his lips. "Good."

I let out a small gasp when his hands gripped my waist firmly and he pushed me down onto my back before hovering over me. Grinning, he leaned in and pressed his lips against mine in a passionate kiss. A moan escaped my lips as he gently bit down on my lower lip.

Slowly, I unbuttoned his shirt and let my hands wander across his chest. Dimitri pressed himself closer to me and kissed down my neck, eliciting another moan from me. His hand slipped under my blouse and caressed my skin.

"Roza," he murmured before attaching his lips against mine again. A low growl escaped his lips when I tugged at the ends of his hair. I felt his erection press against my thigh as he pressed even closer to me. I moved my hands down his chest again and to his stomach, stopping at his belt.

Just when I was about to unbuckle his belt, he pulled away from me, his eyes dilated and his breathing just as heavy as mine.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing," Dimitri said. "I just…" He took a deep breath. "I don't want you to think that I just brought you here for-"

I already knew what he was going to say before he finished his sentence and interrupted gently, "I know."

I smiled and pulled him back down so I could kiss him.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" Dimitri asked softly, resting his forehead against mine.

"Yes," I said firmly. I looked up into his eyes and continued, "I want to be with you, Dimitri. In every possible way."

He swallowed heavily. "Roza…"

Then his lips were on mine again and this time, I knew he wasn't going to break away again. The intensity of our kiss increased quickly and I felt Dimitri wrap his arms around me firmly as he lifted me from the couch. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me to the bedroom.

- START M SCENE -

Dimitri lowered me onto the mattress. I sat up and he helped me slip off my blouse. Gently, he pushed me down on the bed and hovered over me, kissing me softly. His hand slipped behind my back and removed my bra.

The look of adoration was clear in his eyes as he gazed at me. I let out a moan as he slowly kissed down my body. He stopped when he reached my skirt. Ever so slowly, he peeled it off of me. My panties followed suit.

"Roza," he whispered hoarsely before his lips returned to mine.

I slid my hands down his chest and when I reached his belt, he didn't stop me this time from unbuckling it. His jeans and boxers came off quickly after that.

Dimitri's eyes flicked to mine, silently asking me if I wanted to continue this, and I nodded at him. Dimitri leaned in and kissed my lips before entering me. I let out a small gasp and he stilled. After making sure I was okay and I'd adjusted to his size, he slowly started moving in and out of me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled his face to mine. He kissed me passionately as he continued to drive into me over and over again.

"Comrade," I moaned, tightening my arms around his neck as he picked up the pace.

"Roza," he panted before pressing his lips against mine again.

Dimitri thrusted into me one last time and I called out his name as I became undone. He released inside me at the same time and collapsed on top of me.

- END M SCENE -

He murmured something in Russian and buried his face in my neck. We lay in silence for a few minutes, both of us trying to catch our breath. At last, Dimitri lifted his head and pressed a kiss to my lips.

"What did you say?" I asked when he rolled off of me. He gave me a confused look. "You said something in Russian. What was it?" I asked again, curious. I'd heard my name in Russian, but the rest I hadn't been able to make out.

His eyes widened slightly and, to my surprise, he started blushing. "Oh… I…" He cleared his throat and met my eyes. "I said I love you," he admitted.

Something fluttered inside my stomach. "You…love me?"

Dimitri nodded. "Yes," he whispered. "I'm so in love with you, Roza. I wanted to tell you earlier, but I-"

I didn't let him finish. Leaning in, I kissed him fiercely. "I love you too, comrade," I said when I pulled away.

He blinked, clearly surprised. "You do?"

I smiled. "Yes. I really do."

Wrapping his arms around me, he pulled me closer and kissed me. "You just made me the happiest man alive." He looked at me and asked, "Say it again, please?"

I grinned. "I love you, comrade."

Dimitri grinned, too. "I love you too, Roza."

I rested my head on his chest and let out a contented sigh. I felt Dimitri press his lips against my hair as he wrapped his arms around me. My eyes started to droop and soon I found myself falling into a blissful sleep.

DPOV

When I woke up the next morning, Roza was still asleep. She looked so peaceful, I decided to not wake her up. Instead, I watched her sleep. I think I could've watched her sleep forever without it getting boring, but, eventually, she woke up.

"Why are you staring at me?" she asked.

"Because I'm afraid that if I look away, you'll disappear."

She punched my arm playfully. "Don't worry. I promise that won't happen."

I smiled and leaned down to kiss her. "Don't blame me for thinking so, because you're too good to be true. When I'm with you, I feel like I'm dreaming."

"Really?" Rose asked.

"Sometimes," I answered.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me flush against her. "Well, let me assure that I'm very much real and that this is not a dream," she murmured before kissing me.

We spent the next hour in bed, repeating last night's activities. Actually, the only reason we got up was because Rose was hungry.

After breakfast, we decided to take a walk. Even though the weather was chilly, it was beautiful outside. The sun was shining and the sky was clear blue.

"Too bad we can't take a swim in the lake," Rose said as we started walking towards the woods.

"We could come back sometime in the summer."

"I'd like that," she said, brightening. "We could take the kids with us. They'd love it here, too."

I smiled when she suggested to bring the kids with us next time. "Yes, they would."

Taking her hand in mine, I laced our fingers together as we continued walking in a comfortable silence. We were on our way back to the lake house when it suddenly started to rain.

Stunned, Rose looked at me. "Shit."

Shit indeed, I thought, annoyed.

Then she started laughing. "That's just our luck."

I smiled reluctantly. "Let's go back."

By then, it was pouring rain and we had to ran back to the house. When we got there, we were both soaked and Roza was still laughing.

"I can't believe you think this is funny," I grumbled. Even my socks were wet.

Still grinning, she tugged at my hand. "Now that we're wet, we'd better go take a shower. Or maybe we could test the Jacuzzi," she added, wiggling her eyebrows.

Suddenly, I brightened. "We?"

Biting her lower lip, she nodded. "Yes, I'm cold. You've got to keep me warm. Do you think you're up for that?"

I nodded eagerly as I followed her down the hall. "Certainly."

"Great," she said as she slowly unzipped her wet sweater and threw it on the floor. "Because I need you."

I let out a low growl. "Roza…"

She grinned and then pulled her shirt over her head and threw it at me. Laughing, she ran off to the bathroom and I followed suit.

This is the best weekend ever, I thought with a grin before chasing after her.

Aww, they both admitted they love each other. Aren't they cute? ^^
