(I received a ton of help from a friend on this chapter! The whole baby thing won't be uploaded until Ch.3 and Ch.4... So for now, enjoy some Rose and Dimitri fluff)
All these characters were created by Richelle Mead! I don't own any of them, so far.
Rose POV
Dimitri and I had finished our breakfast and continued on with our day; I had missed spending time with him alone, without Lissa or Christian. It's not that I don't enjoy spending time with them; it's just that I prefer it when I'm alone with him. It's just Dimitri and me. We chatted a lot, in fact. I guess I hadn't realized how excited he was to spend time with me.
I was getting buried in my thoughts when Dimitri came up and pulled me out. As he nuzzled into my neck, I felt his warm skin on mine. I didn't need any words; his skin was enough for me. "What's on your mind, Roza?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist. His enormous body practically towered over me as he peered down. "Well, I was taken aback by how much you seem to want to spend time with me." He Chuckles, his laugh wasn't something I heard often.
He kissed the top of my head, "I'm surprised that you even think that, of course, I want to spend time with you, Roza." Hearing him say my name in Russian made my heart skip a beat; I loved it when he called me that, it reminded me of high school. His embrace pulled me in closer and I could start to feel the warmth of both our bodies meeting. I eventually allowed myself to tilt my head up and meet his eyes. His gaze was something that I always longed for, something I could look into for hours upon end.
He quickly broke our silence, lifting me up and over his shoulder. I squealed like a little mouse or pig, I bet it sounded all the same to him. "Comrade, I do not consent to this" I continued to squeal. I heard a light Chuckle, I didn't need to see his face, I knew he was smiling. He knew I hated being carried, I bet it was even more amusing for him because I hated it.
I was about to speak more but I was stopped when he tossed me off his shoulder and onto the bed. "I could kill you" I gave him an evil glare, he just returned a soft smile. I hated that I couldn't be mean, I was so adorable in his eyes. "Yes, you could. But you and I both know you wouldn't", he said before jumping on the bed right next to me. I adjusted myself so that I was laying on my back. From nowhere I felt my hand grow warm and realized Dimitri had snaked his hand into mine, lacing our fingers together. The time we spent together like this didn't need us to talk, just the presence of each other was more than enough for me. "This sick day is going better than I expected, haven't even been hit yet by you." As soon as he uttered those last words I propped myself on my elbow and gave him a small slap on the cheek. I was delighted to see a faint smile come across his face, oh how I loved that smile. I lean in to steal that smile away from him with my lips when a phone rings. Having not picked it up before coming in I get up, cursing at the phone.
Dimitri looked at me, questioning who was on the phone. "Liss." I groaned as I answered it. "Are you sick?" she practically screamed into the phone; she was worried... way too worried. "No, I got..." I struggled to find the words as I looked at Dimitri, "Distracted." Dimitri laughed a little too loudly. I gave him a nasty gaze, trying once more to scare him... It wasn't working. "Is Dimitri with you now?" she said, and I sighed, giving up. "Yes, and no, he isn't sick, I am about to hurt him though," I said, keeping my evil stare on him, which only made him laugh harder. "I love you, I'm fine, and I'll see you on Monday!" I hung up fast before she could say something. "I mean this politely, I hope you fall down the stairs," I said to Dimitri. "Only if you get to push me," he said with a smile. I stomped my foot and gave him an angry pouting face. I walked over back to the bed and sat down on the edge, might as well be a little dramatic.
I crossed my arms and tilted my head away from him, not letting him see the small grin on my face. "Oh come now don't be like this Roza", he said. I responded to him saying, "Comrade I can be any way I want to. Remember, equals now" Though he couldn't see my face the grin started to grow. Slowly scooting himself forward he said, "So is there anything a man like myself could do to make up for my actions?" He says this in a sarcastic tone and that's when I broke. I started giggling and turned around, jumping onto him and trying to pin him down. Now I thought I had the jump on him but as per usual he won. He caught me and put me down on the bed, now pinning me. "Well that didn't turn out like I hoped it would," I say with a devilish grin staring up at him. "The fact you had any hope to win this Roza is funny. I did train you."
He didn't let me protest, kissing me as I had tried before. The kiss had helped loosen his grip on me and that's when I took the opportunity. I slipped my hand out from his grasp and put it on the back of his neck, squeezing as hard as I could. I guess it was enough because he let go and it gave me the chance to flip him over and pin him. He looks up at me and says, "Learned something I didn't teach you?" "You bet your ass I did," I say with a giggle before continuing the kiss. I felt like electricity was coursing through my entire body each time we kissed. The rush that it gives me is addicting and I always crave it. All of a sudden I dropped onto him. It seemed that he pulled his wrists away from him and I lost my leverage. "You seemed to have lost your grip", he says to me with a smirk. I respond by saying, "Yea that might be true but who's still on top Comrade." He grumbles but lets me win this time; I had a feeling it wouldn't go like that next time. Right now I wasn't worried about that, I was excited to see where he and I would take this.
