You'd better be done by now cuz we're coming home! read an angry text from Christian, complete with an angry red-faced emoticon.
It was excellent timing since Rose and Dimitri has just fallen to the sheets, utterly spent and trying hard to catch their breath.
It wasn't the only text the couple had received. They'd completely ignored previous pings from their phones indicating that Lissa, Christian and Eddie had gone to a matinee, another stating they'd gone to lunch and lastly - they were having desert at an ice cream parlor. Each text asking if they could come home yet. Each text in duplicate - one to Rose and one to Dimitri. They only text they got that wasn't in reprimand was a text from Lissa that apologized for Chris's rudeness and said to "take all the time they needed". Though Rose was sure Lissa had no idea what she was agreeing to since that text was from hours ago…
"We should probably text them that it's safe to come home", Rose said.
Dimitri pouted. "If we must".
Rose giggled. "Comrade, I love you, but I need food!". She gasped, "Do you think they'll bring us ice cream?"
"I'm sure if you hurry and text Lissa, she'll bring you some back", Dimitri answered thoughtfully. While Rose was texting away, he said, "Are you sure about this?"
"About rocky road and cookies in cream? Definitely", Rose referred to her text, already drooling over the prospect of ice cream.
"About us, Rose. About moving in together".
Rose put aside her phone. "Are you asking if I'm sure about us? Or about moving in together? Cuz the answer to both is yes. Very sure".
"Really? Cuz we don't have to. We can figure something else out about making room for the other guardians-"
Rose placed her hand over his mouth, shutting Dimitri up. She pushed him back gently and leaned over him. "I'm sorry the way I acted made you doubt me. I've just never thought much about how we move forward and our relationship is still new. I mean I know we've loved each other for over a year but we weren't together. And how many 19 year old do you know that live with their boyfriends? And I'm rambling again". Rose removed her hand from Dimitri's mouth to find a small smile. "I do want this". Rose bit her bottom lip, then added, "And more".
It seemed to appease Dimitri, though deep down he was still apprehensive. He was a little insecure, What if she changes her mind?, he thought.
Rose peppered his chest with kisses, enjoying the softness of his flesh and the hardness of his muscles. She'd never get enough of his pure Dimitri scent. The sex only amplified it. Rose let her lips linger over his heart before she rested her head over it. He couldn't help but run his hand through her hair just then, holding her in place. His kissed the crown of her head.
Rose let out a content sigh. "You're stuck with me comrade".
Dimitri smiled, it was just what he needed to hear.
"What are we going to do about the new guardians?" Rose asked. "They can't know we're together. At least not at first. But they're going to know we share a room".
"You're right, we need to find out exactly who we're dealing with and if they're the kind of people who inform HQ if they found out about us", Dimitri answered, knowing in his heart that he wasn't exactly setting the example a leader should be setting for young guardians. "And they'll know we share a room but they don't need to know we share a bed. Which is why it's good that Eddie's going to be in the adjacent bedroom".
"Well we got pretty good at hiding it so it shouldn't be too difficult".
"What are you talking about!", Dimitri laughed! "We were terrible at hiding it! Chris walked in on us in bed, I all but professed my love with Eddie right next to me. Lissa found out because of your jealous fit! How are we good at keeping it a secret!"
Rose's jaw dropped. "My jealous fit?! Ha! Next time I'll leave you to defend your own ass from the forces of evil!"
"Oh, yeah?" Dimitri started tickling Rose. "Take it back!" He was relentless, but Rose refused. "Take it back!" Rose had reached the point where her eyes were tearing and she couldn't breathe. "Take it back!"
"Ok! Ok!" she managed to squeal out. "I'd defend you against any skanks, sluts, hoes, or tramps!"
"Good", Dimitri finally yielded from his attack, he bought his lips to Rose's and kissed her chastely.
Rose hummed in approval. "We should shower before the guys get back. Plus we have a lot of work to do to make room from the new guardians".
It was a lot of work but the gang managed to get all of Dimitri's stuff into Rose's room and all of Eddie's stuff into Dimitri's room. In Rose's room, they had to push the bed against the wall to make room for Dimitri's dresser since there was no way Rose's closet had enough space in it. It was a tight fit, but it would be temporary. Since Rose was adamant about not giving up her vanity table, the two had to forgo one of their bookcases, cramping all of Rose's school book and all of Dimitri's novels into one unit. The couple also did some rearranging in the bathroom to clear space for Eddie's things.
Eddie's old room and the guest room also required some work. Everyone helped thoroughly cleaning both rooms and switching around some furniture, moving the bigger bed from the Eddie's old room to the guest room, and the smaller double bed to Eddie's room making space for 2 double beds.
With everything ready for their new roommates, the senior apartment residents waited for the new comers expectantly. And somewhat nervously.
.
Ding Dong
.
The doorbell rang. Dimitri stepped forward to welcome 3 new guardians. The first to shake his hand was Guardian Mitchel. She was the guardian who took over for Dimitri when he was injured. "It's nice to have you back, Mitchel".
"Guardian Belikov", she smile, "It's nice to see you on your feet. I do hope you had a speedy recovery". She was very genuine about her concern.
Guardian Mitchel entered their home and was engulfed by Eddie, Christian and Lissa. Apparently they'd all gotten along quite well during her pervious stint. Rose and Dimitri never got the chance to get to know her as they were secluded in his room most of the time.
The additional guardians stepped into the apartment. "Guardians Ryan and Dunn, reporting for duty, sir", Guardian Ryan introduced himself and his colleague, handing Dimitri their approved allocation form from HQ.
Dimitri introduced Lissa and Christian, as well as Rose and Eddie as their guardians. Dimitri lead the new guardians to the their rooms, pointed out who stays where along the way. He pointed to the end of one hall, "Those 2 rooms are for myself, Eddie and Rose. The other room is Lissa and Christian's room". He lead them down the hall, "This room is for Guardian Mitchel", the pointed across the hall to Eddie's old room, "And Ryan and Dunn, this is your room. That's the bathroom which you'll be sharing", Dimitri pointed to the bathroom apologetically. "Keep in mind that this is just for the next six to eight weeks, till the semester ends. We had to double down on rooms too".
"Who gets to share with Hathaway?" Dunn asked with a crude snicker.
Dimitri's fists tightened as his sides, though it went unnoticed. "Me". He answered flatly. He wanted to add more about respecting women, especially his Roza, but let the comment slide for now.
"You're the commanding officer but you didn't take a room to yourself and have Hathaway and Mitchel share?" Ryan wondered out loud.
"I may call the shots, but I believe in equality", that sounded better in Dimitri's head. He rolled his eyes and added, "We drew straws and Eddie won". It was a flimsy excuse, but it would have to do. "Take half an our to unpack and then we'll discuss shift", Dimitri said authoritatively before stalking off to the living room.
Rose giggled when Dimitri joined them on the couch.
"You heard that?" Dimitri questioned.
Rose nodded.
"You might have to kick his ass in training", Dimitri said glumly. He wanted to kick Dunn's ass.
"Comrade, it would be my pleasure".
During their first meeting, Dimitri had informed the newcomers of their new shifts. Before they arrived, Dimitri had decided on a new tactic for guarding. Instead of standard constant day shifts/ night shifts, he wanted to do something a little different. Rose and Eddie would still escort Lissa and Christian to classes. But he also knew there was no need for more than one guardian during the night as long as everyone was in the wards. However, in the event Lissa and Christian want an evening outing, or late night party, it would be all hands on deck.
Also, Dimitri factored in that he wanted to spend time with Rose. Real time, not just few moments they had between switching shifts, or the mornings Eddie was kind enough to a lot them every now and then.
And so, after considering all that, Dimitri laid down the schedule. Every night either Dimitri or one of the 3 new guardians would take night shift. Anyone who wasn't guarding was required to train in the late afternoons and be at full availability for evening and early night guard duty. Since they'd wake up later (only for afternoon training), they would be more alert in the evenings than say a guardian who was up since the early hours of the morning or one who had just woken up and still hadn't got their bearings. This also meant that Rose and Eddie could study in peace in the evenings, as other guardians were covering their charges.
Lissa didn't intervene with any guardian business or scheduling, but she did insist that Sunday brunch was family meal. With the new shift Dimitri instated that meant that only one guardian who did the night shift would be staying up late.
Dimitri also made it a point that he train with each member of the team during the first week in order to get a better handle on their skills. Show me how you fight, I'll tell you who you are.
Before the new guardians came, Rose and Dimitri had 2 blissful days where the didn't have to hind their relationship. Everyone else in the apartment could see the difference in both the fiery brunette and the stoic Russian. They were happy. For a few brief moments, they were truly happy.
And then Ryan, Dunn and Mitchel arrived and back in the closet it was. It was much easier now though, than the way it was when Rose denied she even wanted the relationship. Eddie, Chris and Lissa all knew and were all supportive. And that meant the world to Rose.
But there was a new dynamic that they needed to uphold in order to maintain the professionalism of the new guarding team. (And to save their own asses should something accidentally get back to HQ).
It meant that every time Dunn hit on Rose, Dimitri needed to keep his anger and jealousy in check. And Dunn flirted with Rose constantly. He was worse than Adrain Ivashkov.
But it wasn't just the inane flirting. Dunn was lewd. And in those moments, Dimitri didn't want to hold back. He wanted to boil over and beat the shit of Dunn. But he couldn't.
Dunn had called Rose hot, sexy, said she had an ass he would've loved to bite, hinted that she looked like she was great in bed and offered to a room with her instead of Dimitri.
Rose mostly brushed him off, answered with wit and bravado. When they spared she went a little harder on him that was strictly necessary.
On one occasion, it got so bad that Rose had to physically remove Dimitri from the room before he did something he'd regret.
"Comrade!" she yelled, getting his attention. "Dimitri, look at me".
When Dimitri focused on her, he found his center of gravity. The look in her eye was as wake up call. Rose managed to calm him down.
"I want to hurt him", he seethed when they were in the privacy of their own room.
"I know. So do I. But we can't", Rose tried soothing him with her palms on his chest, fingers splayed over his pecs. "You know, I can handle Dunn on my own". She added for good measure.
Dimitri gripped her wrists stepped back from her, removing her hands from his torso. "I know that. But you shouldn't have to. Guys like him need to be put in their place. They need to be taught how to treat others with respect".
Rose loved Dimitri all the more for that but she was afraid of what would happen when he lost his temper and she was't there to stop him. She was surprised that she hadn't pummeled Dunn yet herself. Rose knew something had to be done.
Dimitri had a stern talking with Dunn about the impropriety of his behavior and that if he continued or if 'Hathaway' were to lodge a formal complaint, his ass was gone. Dimitri stressed to Dunn that he was on a thin ice as it was and this was his only warning.
One morning, before Rose and Dimitri headed to the park to train, Ryan and Dunn invited themselves to their session, claiming they wanted to see how the two trained, having trained with each of them separately. Rose tried hard not to make a face. She loved her alone time training with Dimitri. Other than the bonding and the vigorous workout, it was like foreplay for them.
Dimitri knew he had no choice but to agree, he didn't have any excuse not to allow them to join, other than he wanted some quality time with his girlfriend, which for obvious reasons he couldn't admit to aloud.
"Fine, just try to keep up", Dimitri mumbled at the newcomers.
Rose and Dimitri ran to the park in record time. It was an excellent warm up and they'd almost managed to lose Dunn and Ryan, who reached their training spot completely out of breath.
"You two need to work on building stamina", Dimitri said. "Add an hour to your daily training for running".
"An hour of running everyday?!" Ryan yelled. "With all due respect sir, but you can't be serious".
Rose was reminded of her own conversation with Dimitri from when they started training together about the importance of running and building stamina.
"Alright, I give up. You've already got the answer. You're just messing with me. I'm at the mall and I see a strigoi. What do I do?"
Dimitri looked at me and didn't blink. "You run".
The memory brought a smile to her face.
Dimitri didn't like Ryan's nonchalance. "If you can't keep up with Rose and myself, you shouldn't be guarding the last Dragomir". He let that sink in before adding, "I don't doubt you have skills in hand to hand combat against another guardian. But that's not enough. It's not just your charge's life on the line, it's yours too, not to mention ours as your team".
That seemed to hit Ryan exactly where Dimitri wanted to.
"Come on, comrade", Rose called. "It's time for me to kick your butt".
Dimitri knew Rose was trying to defuse the tension, but he was not in the mood. And Rose could tell she'd made a mistake.
"Sorry", she mumbled. "I guess there are more aspects of how we are with each other that need to stay just between us".
"It's fine Roza", he replied lowly so only she would hear.
Rose knew she was forgive as soon as Dimitri called her Roza. They sparred just like they always did, minus the heavy petting. The task was not done without difficulty.
"You are amazing", Ryan said to Rose. "I mean I know you've kicked my ass before, but you took Belikov down".
"I'm not infallible", Dimitri muttered, mostly to himself, but Rose heard. And smirked.
"Yeah, you guys make sparring look like dancing", Dunn added. He grinned, "Dirty dancing".
"That's enough, Dunn", Dimitri warned.
"Hey", Rose interjected. "I've got an idea, how about I spar with Dunn for a bit and while you two", she gestured to Dimitri and Ryan, "run to the bodega in town and get all of us some water, it's only a few miles away".
"But there's a kiosk right outside the park", Ryan said confused.
All the more reason you need the run, Rose thought. "It's for the exercise", she tried not to sound condescending.
Dimitri raised his eyebrow at Rose, silently asking if she was sure about this because he certainly didn't like the idea. Rose smiled in answer letting him know I got this. With a barely noticeable nod Dimitri lead Ryan away. Dimitri knew Rose well enough to know she was up to something.
Rose had a devious plan. She just hoped the plan wouldn't come back to bight her on the ass!
As soon as Dimitri and Ryan were out of earshot, Rose turned on Dunn, eye narrowing. She was aiming to kick his ass all the way back to his academy days.
"Couldn't wait to be alone with me?" The asshole smirked.
Rose smiled her man eating smile. "No, I just don't want any witnesses when I dispose of your body".
That wiped the smirk clear off ass-hat's face. He paled and swallowed hard.
"Come on", Rose took a fighting stance. "Show me what you got, big man". She taunted, taking a step forward.
Dunn took a step back.
Rose faux-gasped. "Maybe you don't want to fight me. Maybe you want to do something entirely different with me". She winked.
And that just made Dunn even more nervous. "Uhhh, Belikov said to be nice to you", he nearly stuttered.
"Well then come over here and be nice to me", Rose said as he stepped closer to him, like a predator.
The weird turn had Dunn all kinds of confused. He had backed up into a tree and had nowhere else to go when Rose pressed her body against his.
His reaction was exactly what Rose was expecting. Dunn cringed. "Please stop", he mumbled.
"Why?" Rose asked. "Don't you want me?" She pouted.
"No", he answered meekly and shrunk back.
"No?" Rose's confusion wasn't genuine. "But after all the things you've been hinting and implying since you got here, I thought you wanted me".
"I don't".
"I don't believe that", Rose purred. She was laying it on real thick letting her fingers dance across his forearm.
"I'm gay!" Dunn admitted at last. "Ok? I'm gay!" he said it as though that were the only reason anyone would deny Rose Hathaway.
"Finally!" Rose yelled and immediately stepped back. "Now can you please stop pretending to be a sexist asshole?"
"What?"
Rose ignored his question. "You can be an asshole, which would still suck. A regular asshole is better than the disgusting lewd pig you've been portraying thus far!"
"How did you know?"
"Please, you think I couldn't tell that you were checking out Dimitri the entire time we were sparring?"
Dunn looked down, embarrassed and ashamed.
"Oh don't be like that, anyone in their right mind would stare at Dimitri. The man's build like an adonis".
"That's not, I'm not, I mean", he took a deep breath and looked utterly defeated. "When we get back, I'll pack my stuff. Just know that this is very hypocritical of you".
"Wait, what? Why would you pack you stuff? Where are you going?"
"You don't want me to leave?" Dunn asked.
"Why would I want you to leave?" Rose answered with a question.
"Because, I'm gay".
"You're gay?! I didn't realize!" Rose went right to her go-to, making jokes. It worked, because they both laughed. "Look, there's no reason for you to leave. I just wanted you to stop being a tool". Rose ran her hand over her face. "I don't care that you're gay. Neither will anyone else in the apartment".
"Are you sure?" Dunn asked, unsure of himself.
"Absolutely", Rose answered wholeheartedly. "Dunn, have you had problems in the past?" she showed sympathy.
"You know how guardians are", he stated flatly.
"I'm sorry", Rose didn't know what else to say.
"It's not your fault", Dunn shrugged. "I'd appreciate you not telling anyone about this. If this gets back to HQ, I'm done. They still uphold a don't ask don't tell policy".
"Dunn, I won't tell anyone. I promise. But it's 2018, you shouldn't have to live like this", Rose took his hand in hers, for comfort.
Dunn smiled at the sentiment. "I think this the beginning of a beautiful friendship", he quoted Casablanca.
Rose giggled. "I owe you an apology for outing you like that. I shouldn't have done that. You were driving me crazy!"
"I'm sorry. I've always hidden behind being an asshole".
"So let's start over", Rose lent out her hand to shake Dunn's. "Hi, my name is Rose Hathaway".
"Hi, I'm Benjamin Dunn".
They shook hands, smiling.
"Hey", Rose suddenly said, "what did you mean before, about me being hypocritical?"
"Just that you and Dimitri's relationship is just as deep in the closet as I am", he chuckled.
Rose froze. "W-w-w What relationship?" she stammered.
"Oh please", he rolled his eyes. "Don't even try to deny it, it's as clear as day!" When all that answered him were Rose's big doe eyes, he added, "You and the Russian are obviously doing the nasty. Pretending it's difficult to share a room? As if!"
"Wait, why goad Dimitri if you knew we were together?" Rose shrieked.
"Like I said, I've always had to be an asshole. Hitting on someone else's girl? That's just one more way to do that".
Rose let it sink in for a bit. She found herself appreciating Dunn more and more. He knew about her and Dimitri but made no attempt to exploit that knowledge to his own benefit when he thought Rose was outing him or forcing him away.
"And from what I can tell, the princess, Ozera and Castile all know about this", Dunn supplied. "I wouldn't be surprised if Mitchel was in on it too".
She took a deep breath. Rose nodded. "Ok. You're right. Dimitri and I are together. But since we're partners, this can't get back to HQ. It'll ruin both our careers and I'll lose Lissa and Dimitri".
Dunn smiled. "I'm wondering who has it worse. Me or you?"
Rose chuckled. "You know you're lucky Dimitri hasn't demolish you yet", she said, "he doesn't stand for disrespecting women".
Dunn shrugged. "Listen, I still don't want anyone back at the apartment to know. I mean I trust you and you're judgement, but I don't know that Ryan won't rat me out", when Dunn saw Rose was about to protest, he added, "And neither do you".
"Ok", Rose nodded. "This stays between us". She held her hand out for them to shake on it.
"As does your relationship with Belikov", Dunn shook back."You want to spar till Dimitri and Ryan get back?"
After Rose turned Dunn's ass to grass twice he said, "I'd pay good money to see you get taken down".
Rose smile wickedly and wiggled her eyebrows, "Dimitri takes me down all the time. But I doubt that's the kind of porn you'll enjoy".
"Bitch", Dunn smiled as he gasped loudly.
Rose laughed out loud.
"Sir, may I have a word with you?" Dunn asked Dimitri in the kitchen.
"I'll let you guys talk", Rose excused herself.
"Thanks, Rosie", Dunn tried a nickname.
Rose smiled. It was a smile Dimitri knew too well and meant bad news. He also knew she hated being called Rosie.
"If you're at all attached to your balls, that'll be the last time you call me Rosie", Rose replied in a sing song voice.
Instead of cringing, Dunn smiled. "Feisty".
Rose smiled back and rolled her eyes, leaving Dunn and Dimitri to talk.
Dimitri didn't care for the whole exchange. Rose and Dunn were acting off and Dimitri didn't like it one bit. "You were saying?" he prompted Dunn.
"Rose Hathaway is an amazing woman", Dunn was still staring at the kitchen door after Rose.
"She is", Dimitri couldn't agree more, but he certainly didn't like that Dunn shared the same sentiment.
Dunn cleared his throat and jumped right into it. "I am insecure about certain things in my life". That statement alone completely disarmed Dimitri. "And I hide it behind the facade of sexist pig. I'm not making excuses, it's just my coping mechanism. Anyway, Rose called me out on it". He took a deep breath. "I know technically I didn't do anything to you, but I realize my behavior has caused tension for the team and the atmosphere in the apartment to be unpleasant. For that I am sorry". Dunn scratched the back of his neck. It was a nervous habit. "I know it may not seem like it, but I am an honorable man. I've apologized to Rose and I wanted you to know that I respect the hell out her. I think she's one of the best guardians I'll ever meet in my lifetime. I hope one day she and I can become great friends".
Dimitri sat in utter silence for a moment. "Thank you for your honesty. I'm glad you apologized to Rose and am looking forward to a change for the better around here". Dimitri sealed the conversation with a firm handshake.
Dimitri escaped the kitchen and Dunn and sought out Rose in their bedroom. He had a suspicion that there was something he wasn't privy to. In that moment, he thought Dunn had feelings for Rose. And if he was being honest with himself, Dimitri didn't know what was worse - Dunn treating Rose like a piece of meat, or Dunn in love with his girlfriend.
"Dunn said he apologized to you", Dimitri said to Rose as the lay in bed.
"He did", Rose confirmed.
"So that's it? He says he's sorry and he and you are buddies now?"
"We had a talk. He's going to stop being an asshole", Rose shrugged.
"I don't trust him".
"You don't have to", Rose answered. "But trust me. And my judgement. Dunn said he was sorry and that he won't act like a dirtbag anymore. And I believe him".
Dimitri arched his eyebrow, "The other day you were ready to kill him, now you're friends. What could he have possibly said to change your opinion of him?"
Rose didn't answer. In all honesty, it wasn't her place to out Dunn. And he asked she not reveal his sexual orientation to anyone.
"Well?" he promoted impatiently.
Rose scoffed. "Why does it bother you so much that I think he might not be such a bad guy?"
"Because he has a crush on you Roza. And I don't think you should lead him on".
Rose laughed. "I promise you Dunn doesn't have a crush on me. What even gave you that idea?".
Dimitri shook his head. "Because I get it now, why he was such a jerk. Up till now he was the little boy in the playground pulling your pigtails. And you called him out, so he's going for a different nice guy tactic now", he crossed his arms over his chest.
"You're not jealous, are you comrade?" Rose cooed.
Dimitri huffed, "He acted like an animal and he treated you like a piece of meat. What's to be jealous of?"
From the tone of his voice, it was obvious to Rose that Dimitri was jealous.
Rose giggled. "Ya know, you're cute when you're jealous", she smiled. She turned to face him and planted a kiss on his bicep, letting her lips linger for a moment before trailing her mouth up towards Dimitri's shoulder. When she reached his ear, she tugged his lobe between her teeth. Rose whispered huskily, "And sexy as fuck", her breath tickled Dimitri ear and sent shivers down his spine.
Dimitri swiftly rolled Rose onto her back and planted himself on top of her. "Maybe I am a little jealous", he admitted sheepishly. "I don't like the way other men look at you and I especially don't like how other men mistreat you. You deserve better than that". Dimitri press his forehead to Rose's. He leaned all his body weight on her as he laid between her thighs. "I'm in love with you and I want to share that with the world. At least that way, other men will know why I'm beating them up", Dimitri joke.
Rose smiled, "I love you, Dimitri". She pressed her palm to his cheek. "I'm yours".
Dimitri smiled, loving the way Rose always knew what to say to him. Knowing she'd alway be his, that she wanted to be his, brought his inner caveman unbridled joy. "Mine".
Hearing Dimitri call her his stirred things in Rose. Very un-feminist things. She loved the notion that she was his. She loved that he was greedy when it came to her. Just as greedy as she was when it came to him.
Rose kissed Dimitri, slow and simmering. She felt Dimitri harden against her thigh, which was good because she was wet beyond belief. Rose let her hand slide down Dimitri's back, all the way to his ass. She wanted to feel Dimitri in her. And there was nowhere Dimitri wanted to be more.
While Dimitri was stripping off his boxers, Rose threw off her tee shirt, then Dimitri "helped" her out of her panties. He dove in before Rose even had a chance to gasp.
Dimitri usually started more gently, but Rose welcomed his roughness eagerly. She panted and moaned as Dimitri plowed into her. She fisted his hair tightly with one hand as the fingernails of her other hand ran down his back leaving their mark.
Dimitri held her tightly, his fingers digging into the skin of her hips, her shoulders, her thighs, anywhere he could get a grip on to thrust harder.
Rose met every one of his thrust with a thrust of her own. She had a leg wrapped firmly around his hip, her heel digging into his cheek as Dimitri moved in and out of her.
Dimitri pumped harder and faster. He was completely losing control. Which was something he never wanted to do with Rose. She was still fairly new to sex and he didn't want to do anything her body might not have been ready for. But Rose's reactions just egged him on when she begged for more, begged for him to go harder, faster, deeper.
"Fuck", Rose mewled as the released pulsed through her body. Her walls clenched around him so hard, Dimitri came right along with her. When he spilled and pulsated inside of her, it only prolonged Rose's pleasure.
Dimitri finally managed to roll off of Rose and she took big, deep, almost panicked breaths.
"Roza? Are you alright?" Dimitri was even more alarmed when he saw the tears leak out of Rose's eyes. When there was no answer, he gently cupped her cheek and wiped a tear with the pad of his thumb. "What's wrong, baby?", he was starting to worry that he'd seriously hurt Rose.
She shook her head. "Nothing", Rose breathed. When her breathing calmed a bit she laughed.
Now Dimitri was afraid she'd go into hysteria.
"You've been holding back on me comrade", Rose finally spoke.
"So you're not hurt?"
"Hurt?! Dimitri, that was amazing", she tried not to, but Rose slurred. She was just barely hanging on to consciences. Her presence of mind was too far gone to even try to explain she climaxed so hard it literally made her cry.
She was already drifting asleep, her head cradled on Dimitri's chest, his arms wrapped around her, despite them both being sweaty as hell. Dimitri's low chuckle resonated through her entire body. She was vaguely aware he kissed the top of her head and bid her good night.
A/N:
Hello my lovelies!
So this story is almost done. I think I have one more chapter in me!
In the beginning, when I thought this thing up, the plot was supposed to end when Lissa found out about Rose and Dimitri, meaning technically I had no plans for what happens after chapter 13… But everyone wanted to see what it would be like with the new guardians, and I figured I might as well let the gang finish their semester. So the story is kinda like a year in the life of.
As for what I've been up to lately, let's see. Found a new job, quit my old job and gave them notice, was begged to stay for another week and agreed (even though I didn't owe it to them), and right now am at home instead of my last days in the office, because yesterday some lady didn't break and rammed her car into mine from behind. Luckily, no major damage, but my back hurts like a bitch!
No worries, I lived to tell the tale and finish this story!
Other than that, I've resolved to watching old videos of The Joy of Painting, there's just something very calming about Bob Ross!
Till next time, I've been kooki!
Don't forget to follow, favorite and review!
Your neighborhood friendly reviews whore,
