RPOV:

After slipping the ring back into his pocket, Dimitri picked me up in his arms and started walking in the opposite direction of the college campus.

"What are you doing?"

"Taking you home."

"Dimitri," I moaned desperately. "No. I cannot wait that long."

He paused and looked all around him. "Me neither." With urgent and almost frantic strides, he headed for the woods at a dead run.

"What are you doing now?" I asked as we went past trees, bushes, creeks, and giant rocks. The air in the woods was even thicker and more humid than it was on campus, but it smelled amazing…like rain, fresh dirt, grass, amongst other amazing natural smells. I loved it, especially since it was combined with his aftershave.

"Our apartment was too far away. And so was that college dorm that you're moving out of tonight. I'm impatient…so I took you here."

"Sounds good to me," I smiled, pressing my palm to his cheek, feeling the slight stubble scratching my skin. Dimitri leaned into my hand, savoring my touch.

"I missed you so much, Roza." He kissed my palm.

"I missed you, too. But I'm still angry at you for waiting too damn long to come after me. So you better make it up to me right now."

Leaning down, he pressed his lips softly to mine, and whispered against my mouth, making me shiver from the vibrations, "I plan on making it up to you, Roza. Not just tonight, but for the rest of our lives. I'm going to make love to you because you're all I need."

Butterflies exploded inside my stomach like dynamite, carrying me all the way to the clouds. "I like the sound of that…"

The sky was a dark, charcoal gray and the rain had become stronger when Dimitri gently set me on the ground and kissed me.

"Um…General. I'm all for this romantic shit, but I'm not so crazy about having sex on the ground with all that dirt and bugs…"

"Hold on," He took off his leather duster and fanned it out on the forest floor, creating a large blanket.

"That's better."

I stared into his dark eyes and the emotions in them took my breath away. Yearning, pain, lust, love, and…hunger. My body heated up. Dimitri noticed my change in feelings, and I think he liked it because he growled. The sound was all male power and possessiveness and promises of what was to come.

I couldn't wait.

"You are so beautiful." Abruptly, Dimitri pressed me against a tree, his hands squeezing my bottom hard. I groaned loudly, loving the feel of him and the bark clawing at the skin of my back, stinging with fresh wounds.

"Take off your shirt."

He quickly did as I commanded, throwing the damn thing on the forest ground.

The rain poured down his naked abdomen, glistening his caramel skin.

"My god," I ran my hands up and down him. "You've…you're huge. Bigger than before."

He smiled. "I've been spending extra time in the gym. It helps pass the time."

"Yeah…you sure have." I murmured, mesmerized by all his bulging muscles. "You are a God."

"You are my Goddess." Dimitri said, lifting up my shirt.

One after another, our clothes disappeared until they were scattered all over the forest, hanging on trees, stuck in bushes, or…wherever the hell they went. I didn't care. The only thing that mattered was Dimitri in front of me, naked, completely exposed to be feasted upon by my eyes.

"I love when you look at me like that." He started rocking his hips against mine, not penetrating, just this wonderful grinding motion that made my eyes roll into the back of my head.

"Like what?" I panted, stuffing my face into his shoulder to keep the rain from stinging my eyes. Dimitri did the same thing, cradling our bodies together until there was no space between us whatsoever.

The grinding became more intense and desperate until our hips were slapping against one another. I cried out. "Like what?"

"Like I am the only man you'll ever want."

"You are."

Before I knew what had happened, I was on laying on the duster with Dimitri on top of me. With one fluid motion, he thrust into me, making our bodies' one.

We both screamed so loud that I was sure all the animals in the forest went for cover and every student at St. Augustine's had heard us.

Like I cared…

Dimitri stuffed his face into my hair and inhaled as his body started moving with mine at a savage and wild pace. But I loved it. I loved this raw and powerful and animalistic side to him. To me, he was the most beautiful creature I'd ever laid eyes on as he growled words out in his native tongue, Russian.

I had no idea what he was saying, but I liked it. Especially as he began to chant my name like a prayer. "Roza, Roza, Roza, Roza…"

"Dimitri…oh god."

He flipped us over so that I was on top. I didn't skip a beat—or pump—as I took control.

"I'm sorry…" He hissed, his head kicking back, veins popping out of his neck. "I had to see you like this. I just had to see you."

I leaned forward to kiss him and fanned my waist-length hair around his face, creating a safe tent to keep the rain out of his eyes.

"I love you." I gasped, on the edge of something incredible, that burning in my lower belly screaming at me to go faster.

Moments later, we went over the edge together, calling out each others names. I collapsed against his chest, panting like a dog. I was pleased to feel his heartbeat hammering against my cheek.

"You are the most amazing and bizarre miracle," Dimitri breathed, rolling us onto our sides, kissing me tenderly. "You are the woman I love."

I smiled blissfully. "And you are the man I love."

He scooted onto the dirt and wrapped me up in his duster. "You must keep warm. It is freezing out here."

I moaned in protest. "What about you though? You must be cold. Come back…I have to hold you."

Dimitri pulled me to him, wrapping his arms and legs around my body, nearly crushing me. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I have you now."

His hands searched for something in the pocket of the duster. "Here. Wear this." He opened the small black velvet box and grabbed my left hand.

My hands were trembling as he slipped it on. "But I don't want to get it dirty."

"If it does, I'll clean it until it sparkles so much it blinds you. Just please…keep it on. I need to see it on you. To make sure I'm not dreaming…to make sure this is real."

"Okay," I smiled but cursed when I realized something.

"What?" Dimitri murmured, brown eyes on fire.

"I haven't taken birth control in two years."

Shit…
