Chapter 18: The Belikovs
We got into the van to head to Dimitri's childhood home. There were two guardians in the front who were driving, Pavel had introduced them to us but I was in name overload from everyone we met over the last few days, I couldn't remember them all.
Dimitri and I sat in the back with Celeste and Yuri with us in the middle plus the two guardians in the front. Dimitri had directed that when we got to his house, Celeste and Yuri would guard the front of the house and the other two guardians would guard the backyard. I had to admit to myself that Dimitri in charge was definitely a turn on and I was so happy we were finally together.
The trip, Dimitri said, would only take about 20 minutes and I realized that I didn't remember him telling his family we were coming. "Dimitri, does your family know we are coming?" I panicked.
"Yes, I had talked with Pavel on the plane and I texted Karolina when you were still sleeping." Dimitri reassured me.
"Oh good" I said as I started rubbing my temples. I should know by now that nothing gets by him.
"You okay Roza, is being outside the wards bothering you?" Dimitri whispered to me.
"No, I mean yes I feel it a little, but I think it's just a normal headache, Comrade" I said.
Dimitri started rubbing the back of my neck and asked "Do you want to go back and meet my family on a different day?"
"No, absolutely not, I want to meet them and you need to see them and I am sure they need to see you." I firmly stated.
"Have I told you I love you?" Dimitri whispered in my ear.
"Not in the last hour." I smirked.
Dimitri turned in his seat slightly towards me and pushed some hair behind my ear, then cupped my face with both his hands and he brought his lips within an inch of mine and said "I love you Roza". Then he gave me the sweetest kiss and I could not wipe the grin off my face and I said "I love you too, Comrade."
After a few minutes Dimitri said "Maybe we will do a quick visit and we can come back this weekend so you can meet Victoria, I think you are really going to love her. And I know she can't wait to meet you."
"Dimitri, how long has it been since you have been home?" I asked.
"Well, I was home for about two weeks before I left for St. Vladimir to find Lissa and you." Dimitri stated as we were getting closer I could tell he was getting excited and but it made me feel a little sad.
"What is it Roza?" Dimitri asked as he noted a change in my demeanor.
"Promise you won't laugh at me?" I asked.
"Roza, I would never laugh at you." He said as I raised both my eyebrows at him, since I cannot do the one eyebrow thing. "Okay, I won't laugh at you about whatever this is."
"I can see you getting a little excited the closer we get to your house, it was the same way with Lissa when I would go home with her and I get a little sad that I never had that experience." I said quietly.
"Roza" Dimitri said.
"It's okay, I am used to it." I said as I looked out the window trying to will away the tears that threatened to fall.
"Roza" Dimitri started "Roza, look at me" I turned my head to look at him and he continued "I'm sorry that you never had that before, but trust me once you meet my family, you will have that feeling when we come to visit and plus your parents are starting to try, so give them a chance, okay?"
"Okay" I said as he pulled me closer to his side and he kissed my temple.
"Here we are" Dimitri squealed like a little girl. I started laughing to the point I was crying and I could tell Yuri was trying to keep it together and that Celeste had lost it like me. But thankfully Dimitri was so happy to be seeing his family that he was laughing with us. I started to take deep breaths so I could calm myself down.
Then Yuri had to squeal "OMG we are here" imitating Dimitri's squeal and Celeste and I lost it. All my effort to calm down was lost after his one last comment. Dimitri responded by saying something about Yuri and sparring tomorrow.
We stopped in front of a house that I recognized from a picture I saw when I was helping Dimitri pack up his room. As soon as I was out of the van, the nerves kicked in and then I realized why Yuri had done what he had done. He had anticipated that I would be nervous meeting Dimitri's family and partly because he was a jokester and he could not pass up the opportunity. I would have to get Dimitri to take it easy on him the next time they were sparring.
Dimitri grabbed my hand as we walked up to the door, but my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest. Dimitri squeezed my hand and I turned to him and he said "Breathe Roza, you have nothing to fear, they are going to love you."
Just then the door opened and a woman in her forties yelled "Dimka" and ran into his arms and I saw the huge smile on Dimitri face as he said "Mama". They hugged for a few minutes and I could tell that his mama was crying since she was so happy for him to be home. When she pulled back from him, she looked at me and said "Rose, it is so good to finally meet you, Dimka has told me a lot about you." and she gave me the biggest hug. She whispered in my ear and said "He looks so happy, thank you".
"It's so nice to meet you Mrs. Belikov, Dimitri has told me so much about you as well" I said smiling at her.
"Olena, please call me Olena." She said as she ushered us inside. We walked in to a living room and there were two couches and two comfy armchairs on either side of the fire place. It was older house and it had mismatched furniture but it looked like a home should look like, nice and cozy.
As soon as we got into the living room, a woman a little older than Dimitri came out of the kitchen with a baby on her hip and Dimitri went over to her and gave her a huge hug and then he started talking baby talk in Russian. I have no idea what he said, but it was the cutest thing I think I have ever heard. After Dimitri had taken the baby from her arms, she came over to me and introduced herself "Hi Rose, I'm Karolina, Dimka's older sister and this is Zoya, my daughter."
Dimitri started to hand the baby to me and I said "That's okay Comrade, I have no experience with babies."
Thankfully, Karolina rescued me and took Zoya back as she went to the bottom of the stairs and said "Paul, come down here, Uncle Dimka's here and he brought Auntie Rose with him."
All of a sudden we heard a crash, then a door open and running down the hallway to the stairs as we watched this tall boy come running at Dimitri, screaming Uncle Dimka. Dimitri caught him and picked him up and swung him around before putting him back on the ground.
"Paul, you're getting so tall" Dimitri said and then he turned to me "Roza, this is my nephew Paul, Karo's oldest son."
"Hi Paul" I said.
"Hi Auntie Rose, are you staying here with us." Paul asked.
I looked at Dimitri and he said "No Paul, sorry we are staying outside of town with Rose's parents, but don't worry we are only 20 minutes away and we will see you often."
Paul looked at Dimitri and then he looked at me and said "okay".
Olena came back in the room with a tray full of hot chocolates. Dimitri grabbed two mugs and gave one to me as we sat on the couch. Olena and Karolina sat on the other couch and Paul and Zoya were playing on the floor in front of them. An older woman shuffled in and Dimitri got up off the couch and I followed, he hugged her and then Dimitri turned to me and said "Roza, this is my babushka." I put my hand out to shake her hand and she said "I don't shake the hand of someone related to the snake."
I looked at Dimitri and he and Olena started speaking to Yeva in Russian. I have no idea what they were saying but it did not sound nice.
Yeva spoke up again with a sly smile on her face and said "I am just kidding, she is your better half Dimka, cherish her" as she came over to me and gave me a hug. "As long as the two of you stay true to each other, you will be fine."
I looked over at Dimitri and I saw him tense, due to the fact that those were similar words from the fortune teller at Court, after Yeva sat in the chair near the fire, Dimitri and I went back to sit on the couch. I was listening to Dimitri explain what happened on campus over the past few days and why we needed to leave the Academy, when I got pulled into Lissa's head.
Lissa was in her room with Christian when a bunch of guardians burst into the room. Once they secured the room, Alberta walked in as she was talking on the phone "Janine, she escaped with the help of Guardian Anderson. Oh, good, you are already in Russia? Well, she escaped within the last hour, so you are at least 12 hours ahead of her. Okay, I'll let you know if I find out any more information."
Sorry, Princess Dragomir and Lord Ozera for the intrusion. Lady Ozera has apparently escaped while Court guardians came to get her to escort her to Court to be put on trial. The Queen spoke with Headmistress Kirova and she wants the both of you, plus Adrian Ivashkov to fly to Court for your protection."
"Roza, Roza, can you hear me?" Dimitri asked. "Did something happen with Lissa?"
"Tasha escaped, Alberta just called Mom to let her know of the situation and Lissa , Christian and Adrian are being sent to Court for protection" I replied as I was able to get out of Lissa's head just in time to see Dimitri run to the front door and yelled for the guardians who came with us.
Dimitri came back into the room and was at my side as he was explaining to his family why we had to leave. We heard tires screeching outside and even though I knew it wasn't Tasha it was just un-nerving to hear that sound.
Ten seconds later Pavel ran through the door with 2 more guardians that I did not know. He explained that he was leaving two guardians with Dimitri's family's house, despite Olena's objection just to be on the safe side and that Dimitri would contact them tomorrow to discuss options for safety.
Dimitri and I hugged his family quickly and Pavel and Dimitri flanked me as we went to the van. Celeste was in front of me and Yuri followed me as well as the other two guardians whose names I could not remember. They left one of the vans at the Belikov house in case his family or the guardians who stayed behind needed it.
The drive back to Baba's took half the time that it should have as the guardian who was driving, was speeding. I informed Pavel and Dimitri what I had seen Alberta telling Mom that Tasha had only escaped an hour ago, and Alberta felt we had a 12 hour lead on Tasha so we didn't need to worry about her in the immediate future. Dimitri spoke up "Roza, we don't know if Tasha has any allies here in Russia that could get to you."
"I hadn't thought about that" I replied as I felt Dimitri's hand grip mine while he and everyone else was looking out the windows searching for any dangers. A few seconds later we turned into the driveway and were let into the compound immediately. When we pulled up to the front, Baba and Mom were waiting for us and once we were all out Mom had explained that she had spoken with Alberta. I interrupted her and said "I saw Alberta speaking with you, I got pulled into Lissa's head".
"Rose, why don't the four of you relax tonight, I know Pavel will be testing you all tomorrow. I'll have the kitchen make pizza and brownies for everyone and bring it up to you in about an hour. A little birdie told me that it was one of your favorite meals." Baba said with a smirk.
"Thanks Baba, that sounds great." I said.
Dimitri and I went up to the third floor into our room and I flopped down on the bed and covered my eyes with my forearm. I felt the bed dip next to me and I could feel Dimitri's warm body next me plus his scent got stronger. I took a deep breath and then turned and looked at him and said "I'm sorry your visit got cut short."
Dimitri turned on his side and pulled me to him and said "Roza, it's not your fault and like I said before, we are so close we can see them whenever we want, okay."
"Okay"
"What do you want Roza?" Dimitri asked.
"Well I would really love a shower because I have no idea how long we have been in these clothes, then some pizza and then maybe some loving" I responded sort of as a statement and sort of as a question.
Dimitri looked at me with a smile on his face, and he said "I think we can accomplish that". He pulled away from me and got off the bed and then grabbed my legs and pulling me to the edge of the bed. I propped myself up on my elbow watching as Dimitri took off my shoes and socks and I could tell he was toeing off his shoes as well.
He bent over and was hovering over me as his hands went to my hoodie and unzipped it. I sat up so I could take it off and Dimitri's hands went to my waist and he slowly brought my shirt up and over my head. As I lowered myself back onto the bed, Dimitri followed me, one of his hands went behind me and unclasped my bra taking it off and before I could get my hands around his neck he pulled away from me. I pouted at him, but then he just laughed at me "Is there something wrong Roza?"
"Yes, I want to kiss you" I said.
"I see, I thought you wanted a shower and pizza before your loving" Dimitri said with a smirk as he sexily pulled his shirt over his head and I became distracted by his muscular chest and abdomen.
While I was distracted by Dimitri's body, his hand went to the button on my pants and unzipped them. I could tell he was equally affected as I heard him groan when my red lace panties peeked out of my jeans.
"Something the matter Comrade?" I asked seductively.
"Uh, nhh" I stifled a giggle as it was apparent that Dimitri was unable to speak or make a coherent syllable.
Dimitri started pulling my jeans off and as soon as they were off, I flipped over and off the bed and ran to the bathroom door. I figured that two could play at this game. I took my panties off and sling shotted them towards him as he whined "Roza".
I went into the shower and turned on the water and I groaned as I realized we had immediate hot water. Being on the top floor of the novice dorms it seemed to take forever to get the hot water. I had just tilted my head back to get my hair wet when I heard Dimitri open the shower door.
Dimitri pushed me up against the shower wall as he crashed his lips on me. His hands were everywhere all at once and my hands were on his shoulders holding on. His hands grabbed a little bit of soap as he was caressing my breast as I was nipping at his neck. Dimitri's hands went around my waist and he hoisted me up as my legs went around his waist. My hands went to the back of Dimitri's neck and into his hair as I pulled him closer to me as he started kissing my neck. Dimitri was rocking his erection into me and it was driving me mad.
A few moments later I moaned "Dimitri, I need you now."
"I know me too, Roza" he took one of his hands and grabbed his cock as he lined it up to my entrance and he brought me down in one quick motion as I hissed.
"Are you okay, I didn't hurt you" Dimitri asked with a concerned voice since I was still getting used to his size.
"No, you're fine, keep going" I said as I was panting. This time was going to be hard and rough and that was what I needed from him. Partly due to the adrenaline from before and partly due to the fact that it was the first time we had connected since the hotel.
Dimitri set a brutal pace and he felt so good. But ever the gentleman he said "Tell me if it is too much or if you need me to stop."
"Don't stop, keep going" I moaned as I was being pounded into the shower wall behind me.
"So close" I said to Dimitri and then his hands went from my waist and he grabbed my ass and curved my hips into him which caused him to hit that sweet spot.
"Comrade" I called out as he bit me just above my left breast where no one would see it. That action was enough to send me over the edge as my orgasm took over and Dimitri followed right after me.
It took a few minutes for us to catch our breaths and eventually Dimitri lowered me to the ground but held onto me since my legs felt a little wobbly. Once we both recovered we both started washing each other.
We both finished and stepped out of the shower, Dimitri grabbed a towel and quickly dried himself off then wrapped the towel around his waist. He then grabbed another towel and dried me off as well as towel drying my hair and then he wrapped a dry towel around me. Dimitri went to the sink and got his shaving kit and started lathering up his face as I jumped on the counter top next to him and proceeded to stare at him still memorized by the site of him shaving.
We finished and then went into our closet to change. Dimitri put a pair of boxer briefs on and then a shirt and sweatpants. I found my black lace bra and panty set and pulled them on and I noticed Dimitri staring at me with look of lust in his eyes. I put on leggings and a long sleeved shirt with some comfy socks.
Dimitri and I had just finished getting dressed when Celeste knocked on the bedroom door and yelled that the pizza was here. We walked out into the kitchen and there were four large pizzas, salads, garlic bread, chicken wings and brownies. I grabbed a little bit of everything and went to sit on the couch where Yuri and Celeste were on one side of the U shaped couch and Dimitri followed me to the other side of the couch. Yuri flipped through the on demand screen on the tv to find a movie. We finally agreed on an action movie, I didn't care what we watch because I was starting to get tired and was not sure how long I would be able to stay awake after dinner.
We all finished dinner and everyone else seemed really into the movie, so I picked up everyone's plate to bring into the kitchen. Dimitri started to get up to help me and I told him to sit back down while I cleaned up. I felt it was the least I could do, since everyone was dragged halfway around the world. I got my phone and put my ear plugs in and started cleaning up the left overs and as Dimitri had done before I split up the brownies for them as I kept a few for myself.
I took a brownie and moaned as they were the best brownies ever and started washing and drying the dishes. Ok, so as I was drying the dishes I was sort of dancing to the music as well. I turned towards the fireplace to see if I could see my gorgeous man sitting on the couch. That's when I saw a guardian I didn't know standing a few feet from me, grinning at me and looking me up and down. I screamed in surprise and dropped the plate that I was drying because I hadn't expected anyone in the kitchen, let alone two feet from me. The only person who usually sneaks up on me is Dimitri and usually I get a whiff of his aftershave first.
"What the fuck!" I screamed as I pulled my headphones out and got into a defensive position. Dimitri ran into the kitchen and pulled the guardian out of the kitchen and tossed him to where Yuri and Celeste guarded him. Dimitri then came up to me and said "Roza, don't move, there is glass everywhere".
I looked down and realized I had cut my foot when I got into a defensive position. Dimitri had shoes on so he picked me up and sat me on the kitchen counter. He took a quick look at my foot to make sure there was no glass in it and then wrapped a towel around my foot.
While he was looking for a broom to sweep the glass up, he dialed Pavel who answered right away. "Pavel, Belikov, some guardian came up to the third floor scared Rose, she dropped a plate and cut her foot." Dimitri barked.
He listened for a minute then he turned to the intruder and asked "What's your name?" Dimitri asked.
"Max" the guardian stated as he was looking at me and then he followed it up with "But Roza you can call me anything you want."
Oh, this isn't going to end well I thought. Dimitri clenched his fist that wasn't holding the phone and he growled "Max what?"
"Max Smirnov" he said as he gave me a creepy smile. One look from Dimitri and Yuri and Celeste took him away from me, I assume to the bottom floor to wait for Pavel.
Dimitri got off the phone with Pavel as he finished sweeping the glass plate up and threw it away. He came over to me and picked me up and brought me into the bathroom n s me down right next to the tub. He opened the cabinet doors looking for a first aid kit and when he found it he knelt down next to me.
"Comrade, you okay?" I asked hesitantly.
"Yes" he said, but he wouldn't look me in the eye as he was pulling out supplies.
"Comrade" I said as I put my hand under his chin "Are you okay?"
He finally looked at me and said "No, I didn't like the way he was looking at you, like you were a piece of meat."
"I know, I'm sorry he ruined our night of relaxing." I replied.
"Alright, let's look at this" he said as he unwrapped my foot. He took some fresh gauze and wiped away the blood. It turns out it was just a small cut on the side of my foot that would heal quickly.
"Doesn't look like you will need stitches" Dimitri stated "Let me clean it off and disinfect it, then wrap it up."
As he was doing that, we heard Pavel "Rose, Dimitri where are you?"
"In the bathroom" I yelled to Pavel.
Pavel was at the doorway to the bathroom a few minutes later. "Rose, are you okay?"
"Yeah, when that Max guy scared me, I dropped the plate and got cut." I explained. I could see Dimitri tense up next to me.
"I am sorry Rose, he was initially supposed to meet you tonight and then I had him scheduled to be the guard in your suite while you all rested tonight. Guardian Smirnov did not consult the updated schedule to realize that I was coming over with two different guardians who will be on duty while you are sleeping".
"Dimitri and I will be interviewing guardians to beef up your security tomorrow." Pavel continued.
"Yeah, well I don't want him." I said.
"I understand and I am sorry for the incident" Pavel said. "How is the foot?"
"It should be okay, it does not need stitches. I cleaned and wrapped it, it should heal quickly." Dimitri said. "I'll be right back"
Pavel and Dimitri left and I hobbled on my bad foot to get ready for bed. I was at the sink brushing my teeth when Dimitri came back into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth as well and then he scooped me up and carried me to our bed.
I watched as Dimitri locked our bedroom door and then he went into the other bedroom and locked that door. When he came back to our suite I asked "So Comrade, what pj's should I wear tonight."
Dimitri crawled up on the bed and was hovering over me and said "None" as he kissed me. He put more weight on me, which I loved as he was half on me and half off me. He had one leg between mine with his thigh against my core, the things this man can do to me.
When we needed to breathe, Dimitri started kissing my neck as his hands went to the hem of my shirt as he slowly started to pull it up. He stopped kissing me just long enough to get my shirt off and he pulled his shirt over his head as well. He went back to kissing my neck and slowly made his way down to my chest as his hand went behind me and unclasped my bra. As soon as he pulled my bra away his mouth went to my right breast and his hand went to the left breast.
He licked, sucked and bit my right breast and he ran his thumb over my left breast before he pinched it. He then switched breast as he started rocking his hard-on against my hip, which caused his thigh to rub up against me giving me the friction that I desperately needed.
Once Dimitri was done with my breast, he started kissing back up my neck as his hand went down my abdomen. Initially, his hand went under my leggins but over my underwear. His hand started rubbing and applying pressure right where I needed it.
"Dimitri" I moaned out. As Dimitri pushed my panties aside and his thumb went to my clit and he pushed two fingers into my core. Dimitri groaned at how wet I was and I moaned over the stimulation he was providing me.
"Roza" Dimitri responded "I need you".
The next thing I knew, Dimitri withdrew his fingers and pulled my leggings and panties off in one motion. As he stood to the side of the bed and pulled his pants and boxer briefs off before climbing back on the bed.
"Are you ready Roza? I really need you" Dimitri stated breathlessly.
"Yes" I whispered. It was all I could get out those words at that point. Dimitri was hovering over me again and he had one knee between my legs as he used his other knee to push my legs open wider. He grabbed his cock as he ran it up and down my slit, coating himself with my juices.
Ever the gentleman, Dimitri slowly pushed the head of his cock into me and then he slowly rocked his hips into me. He set a slow pace of pushing into me and then pulling back out and pushing back in until he was all the way in.
"Okay Roza?" he asked.
"So good" I moaned out and I knew my ability to speak was slipping away. I wanted him to pound in to me and give me more friction but with him slowly moving in and out, he was driving me crazy and I was grasping for breath.
Dimitri put more weight on me and his forearms were on either side of my head while he dropped his head to the side of me nestled in my hair. I grabbed his butt, god I loved his man-booty, and encouraged him to go faster.
After a minute or two, Dimitri really started moving inside of me. "Yes" I screamed while he was grunting in my ear and apparently my screaming spurred him on as he was now pounding me like I wanted.
"So close" I said as I knew I was not going to last long and with the noises Dimitri was making, neither was he. I separated my legs farther out and closer to my chest and Dimitri hit a spot that can only be described mind-blowing.
I was breathless "Almost…there….Dimitri" I screamed as I came hard. Dimitri pounded into me a few more times helping me ride out my orgasm and then he let go as he screamed into my hair."
Dimitri collapsed on top of me and we were both gasping for breath. My arms moved up from his butt and I was just caressing his back.
After a few minutes, Dimitri rolled off of me and pulled out of me and I was immediately missing him, but he grabbed for me to roll over and he pulled me to his chest. He was kissing my forehead and the top of my head while he was still slowing down his breathing.
"Roza, that was …..I don't know….I think that was the best sex I have ever had. Thank you for that I needed you".
"I needed you too." I said while smiling up at him. "Oh my god, Comrade, where are the two guardians that Pavel left?" I was pretty worried we were overheard as this was the loudest we had been, neither of us had tried to hold back.
"I had them guard the doors on the first floors as those are the main points of entry. Pavel and I will be discussing security detail at some point." Dimitri responded.
"Okay, maybe we should have had Max stay, then there would be no question as to who I am in love with." I said with a big smile and wiggled my eyebrows.
"Roza, Roza, Roza, such the little devil. Let's get some sleep, it is going to be a long day tomorrow."
"Hey what time is it at court right now?" I asked Dimitri.
"It's about 3pm, why?"
"I wanted to check on Lissa, but I guess it's the middle of the night. I check on her in the morning." I said.
"I love you Roza" Dimitri said while kissing the top of my head.
"I love you too, Comrade" I said as we both fell asleep quickly.
