Chapter Four

~VA TC VA~

Rose

"Roza?" I hear, and I immediately let my guard down.

"Dimitri? You scared the shit out of me!" I shout, slapping his arm as he walks into my bedroom, hands help up in surrender.

"Hey, calm down milaya." He approached. "I'm sorry. I wanted to check on you. I tried calling but you didn't answer, and I got worried." He explained, finally lowering his hands.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled like that. I feel like crap and I literally thought someone was breaking into my apartment to fucking cook in my kitchen!"

He laughs at me. "Yeah, because you have a chef's culinary dream awaiting." He taunts. I crawl back into bed when I notice he's holding something.

"What's that?"

"I brought you some Ginger Ale and I'm making you some chicken noodle soup. There are saltines too."

"You didn't have to do that."

"I know I didn't have to, milaya, but I was worried and wanted to make sure you were okay." He explains as he kneels next the bed and presses the back of his hand to my forehead once again to test my temperature.

"Wait, how did you get into my apartment?"

"Lissa gave me the spare set of keys you gave her."

"When did she do that? She left when I did."

"When you were in my washroom taking Tylenol."

"Oh-,"

"Yeah oh," He laughs, brushing some hair away from my face.

"Thank you. I have no desire to eat though."

"I know, but you have to keep up your strength milaya."

"I have zero energy right now." I whined.

"I saw Arthur on my way out and told him you were sick when you left, he said you should take the rest of the week to be ready for Monday."

"Really? Can Avery handle Adrian?"

"She said she could, rather conceitedly I might add, so if she can't, it's on her." He paused, looking at me worriedly. "Get some rest, Roza. I picked myself up some dinner too. I'll bring you some soup when it's ready."

"You should go home; I don't want you to get sick." I wheedled.

"I'll be fine. I'd rather stay here and take care of you." He pressed, cupping my cheek before resting the back of his hand to my forehead to test my temperature.

I can't help but smile at his sweetness. "You don't think you're sick from earlier?" He states a little oddly.

"What do you mean, before?"

"You swallowed; you didn't spit." I start laughing hysterically at him. He was referring to me sucking him off earlier. "No Dimitri, fuck that's really cute, but no, I doubt your swimmers gave me a fever on top of it." I relayed, laughing at his adorable blush.

"Just checking." He smiled shyly while rubbing the back of his neck nervously; the red on his cheeks getting even more prominent.

"Did you really just think that me swallowing made me sick?" I asked.

"No, but I did get you to laugh." He jested, sending a wink my way.

"Mmmmm…" I moan, sipping some of the Ginger Ale from the straw he provided. It felt nice coating my throat.

"I'm going to check on your soup. Can I get you anything?" He posed, tucking me into bed as I placed the Ginger Ale on the bedside table.

"Can you hand me the remote on my dresser for the TV please?"

Dimitri kissed my forehead comfortingly, and I snuggle down to get comfy in bed. Turning on my television, I start to channel surf. After taking down a mug full of soup and a few saltines, Dimitri hands me some pills.

"What's this?"

"Gravol, might help with the nausea. Have you thrown up?"

"No, just feeling really queasy."

"Get some rest, I'm going to tidy up the dinner mess. Why don't you take a bath, relax, then we can cuddle up in bed?"

"You're so cute, thank you. That sounds like a great idea."

"Cute? Really? Can't I be handsome or even just hot?"

"You're all of those things, but you're still cute." I smile at him.

"Girls…" He mumbles before sauntering out of my room and I giggle as he leaves.

I take a relaxing bath and pull my pyjamas back on. When I leave the bathroom, I find Dimitri laid out in my bed, shirtless and his right arm behind his head as he watches some old western movie.

"I put some more Tylenol on the nightstand for you. You should take more in an hour, that will be about four hours since you took the first dose."

"Thank you." I reply as I crawl into bed with him. I don't want him to get sick so I stay on my side of the bed.

"Hey…" He calls to me and I look over at him.

"What?"

"Come 'ere," He states, pulling me closer so I'm resting next to his side, his arm around me.

"I don't want you to get sick."

"I don't care, I want to cuddle with my girl." He replies, kissing my forehead as our attention moves back to the TV and the gun fight that seems about to take place.

~VA TC VA~

Dimitri

The next morning, I leave Roza sleeping in bed and head into work. I have a meeting with the clients today for their spring/summer campaign and I hope it meets their needs. When the lunch hour rolls around, I call Rose to see how she's doing.

"Hello?" I hear her groggy voice answer.

"Hi milaya, how are you feeling?"

"Crappy. I threw up this morning."

"Have you taken anymore Tylenol?"

"Yeah, after I was sick this morning, about 8:30AM."

"Did you feel any better after throwing up?"

"Actually yeah, I did. But now I'm just tired. I had some of the soup though, thank you for that."

"You're welcome, Roza." We talk for a few more minutes, with me urging her to rest and keep hydrated before I go to my meeting.

When I step out of the washroom, I'm in a pair of simple dark blue pants, a black dress shirt and matching dark blue jacket. No tie. As I walk out of the office, Lissa tells me to stop suddenly.

"Why?" I query, thinking something is wrong.

"Rose, is totally missing you all dressed up." She grins, holding up her phone. "I've got to take a few quick pictures of this hotness for her!" I laugh as she snaps a few quick shots of me.

"I'm sure she's pining away for me in a suit."

"You look damn good in a suit, Dimitri! And, you're smiling in these photos! Another bonus."

The meeting goes extremely well and the clients were over the moon with the campaign. I have a meeting with Arthur after the one with the client, to give him a summary of how things went. He's exceptionally happy about how things are going and even asks after Roza.

"She's got a touch of the flu, resting at home." I explain as he nods.

"Well, being that you've secured this account and will be starting on the new ones on Monday with Rose, why don't you take tomorrow and work from home?" Arthur suggests.

"Really?"

"Of course, take care of Rose and just plan out some ideas for Monday." He smiles in assurance. "Hopefully Rose will be feeling better by then." He adds.

"Will do, thanks Arthur." I agree, as we shake hands upon my exit.

When I return to my office, I make sure to grab a few files and notes that I can work with tomorrow.

~VA TC VA~

Rose

I'm sitting in bed, watching daytime television, when my phone dings with a new alert. Lissa sent me a text message with photos attached. It's Dimitri! And he is dressed in a suit for his meeting looking OH! So good.

Rose: Good god that man is fine in a suit!

Lissa: I know, right? Thought you'd like that. And that fine man is yours!

Rose: I feel better already.

Lissa: How are you feeling? Really?

Rose: Better. Threw up this morning and felt a bit better after. Even have a bit of an appetite now.

Lissa: Dimitri has been worried about you all day. : (

Rose: Thank you for giving him my keys BTW, he surprised me last night with chicken noodle soup, saltines, ginger ale and gravol.

Lissa: He cares about you. Such a sweetheart that one.

Rose: He really is. I'm going to rest a bit more.

Lissa: You do that. ;)

Rose: TTYL

Lissa: Get well.

After my conversation with Lissa, I roll over in bed and try to get some sleep. A few hours pass in a dreamless slumber when I'm awoken by the shrill ringing of my phone. I pick it up and see Lissa's face on the screen.

"Hello?"

"Rose, Ohmigod! Shit has hit the fan over here." She whispers excitedly.

"What do you mean?"

"Dimitri caught Avery in his office, she was naked Rose! And he totally blew up at her. Arthur heard him from his office and came running! Literally running! Even before I could stand from my desk to get him for Dimitri."

"Shit. How did that happen?"

"Really have no idea yet, they're all in Dimitri's office now and I can tell your man is angry."

"Wouldn't you be?" I asked, shaking my head at the idea of Avery.

"Of course, I'm not saying he shouldn't be, but damn that girl is psychotic!"

"I hope he's okay."

"How are you feeling?"

"A lot better actually, got some sleep and I'm barely nauseous at all."

"That's good, maybe just a 24-hour thing."

"Yeah, so can you hear anything?" I prod, biting at my lip anxiously.

"No, but you can be sure your man is going to need some personal comfort tonight."

"I'm going to text him. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"K, bye. I'll message you if I get anything else to share." She adds.

I hang up with Lissa and text Dimitri.

Rose: So, you caught a naked stalker in your office? How are you?

He doesn't reply right away, and I'm not surprised, probably still in a meeting with Arthur and said stalker.

My phone dings moments later and it's a message from Lissa.

Lissa: Avery just ran from the office, half-dressed and crying.

Rose: I hope that means she was fired. Skanky bitch.

Lissa: Looks like it. Arthur is just leaving now.

My phone beeps again with a new message and it must be Dimitri this time.

Dimitri: Let me guess, Lissa? And yes, she was just fired.

Rose: How are you?

Dimitri: I'll live, though I'm traumatized from the sight.

Rose: Well maybe you need something better to look at?

Dimitri: Are you going to send me nudes?

Rose: Maybe

Dimitri: I'd rather see you live and in person. I'm going to head home, grab a shower and some clothes and come over, is that okay?

Rose: Absolutely, I'm feeling a lot better so why don't I make us some dinner?

Dimitri: Sounds perfect milaya, I miss you. ;)

Rose: I miss you too, Comrade. ;)

Dimitri: That's new. Comrade?

Rose: It suits you; you know the whole Russian accent thing. :D

Dimitri: Right.

Rose: You mean to tell me you'd rather I go back to 'cute'?

I giggle at the idea of the look on his face right now.

Dimitri: Comrade it is! ;)

~VA TC VA~

Dimitri

After my meeting with Arthur and the news that I can work from home on Friday, I have a little pep in my step. Lissa is just returning to her desk with coffee for both of us when I hear a noise in my office.

"Do I have another meeting?" I question as Lissa pulls up my itinerary on her computer and shakes her head, 'no'.

"Fuck…" I mumble, rubbing the back of my neck in agitation. "How long were you away from your desk, not five minutes right?"

"Just about five minutes." She confirms. "Dimitri, what's wrong?" She adds.

"I have a feeling that Avery snuck in."

"Do you want me to get Arthur?"

"I think my yelling at her will get his attention actually."

Leaving my coffee on Lissa's desk, I open my office door cautiously and find Avery, perched on my workspace, completely naked wearing only heels.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" I yell, a lot louder than intended. "Put your fucking clothes on and get the fuck out!" I scream.

We're interrupted when Arthur shows up at my door.

"What is going on?" He questions perplexed and I simply direct his attention to Avery, still sitting on my desk expectantly.

Arthur pushes me into my office and closes the door then directs Avery to my washroom to cover herself. She tries to convince Arthur that I invited her here, which is bullshit and he knows it. Alberta informed him of mine and Roza's complaints about her the previous day. Knowing about that complaint, he did what was expected and fired her on the spot. She was still half-dressed as she grabbed the rest of her clothes and ran from my office.

"Dimitri, I'm really sorry for her behaviour, but you did the right thing in reporting to Alberta when you did."

"Thank you, Arthur, I didn't seek her immediate dismissal but she was warned about the code of conduct and chose to ignore it." I reply when my phone beeps with a new message. I say my goodbyes to Arthur before replying to Roza.

With permission from the boss, I leave at 5:00PM rather than 6:00PM. Arthur figured I'd had enough for the day, and he was right.

The train ride home seems like it takes so much longer than normal without Roza next to me. Finally making it to my apartment, I head to my bedroom and throw together an overnight bag for Roza's before grabbing a shower. I feel so dirty after seeing Avery like that and I can't shake the disturbing image from my mind. With my laptop bag and overnight bag in hand, I make my way back to the train.

~VA TC VA~

Rose

When 5:00PM rolls around, I decide to start on dinner. I'm feeling extremely hungry and absolutely have an appetite after my 24-hour flu and even managed a tasty grilled-cheese sandwich earlier. I start on the sauce for my lasagne and text Dimitri as I need one more thing.

Rose: Can you pick up some French bread for dinner please?

Dimitri: Absolutely ;)

Rose: Thank you.

Dimitri: I'll see you soon, I was allowed to leave work at 5 rather than 6.

Rose: I think you've earned it. I'll be here.

Dimitri: You sound better.

Rose: I feel a lot better and have an appetite, I hope you like lasagne.

Dimitri: I love lasagne.

The preparation of the lasagne takes another fifteen minutes or so and just as I'm putting the lasagne in the oven, I hear a knock at my door. I hurry over.

"You could have just used your keys!" I admonish, swinging the door open. But it's not Dimitri standing there.

~VA TC VA~

Dimitri

After stopping at the bakery close to Roza's to pick up some French bread, I head to the store on the corner to pick up some wine as well. The walk from here is about eight minutes and I make it in no time at all. I think about buzzing her apartment, but she's likely busy making dinner, so I decide to just use the keys of hers I have. I let myself into the building and make my way over to the elevators. As I head down the hallway to her apartment, the door is slightly ajar and I can hear voices. Rose sounds rather angry and agitated.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

"I wanted to apologize."

"For what exactly?" She pushes.

"For walking out on you that night at 'Guardian's'."

"That's it? What about later that night?"

It's then that I realize that Jesse is in there with her and I'm not sure if I should interrupt or let her finish.

"What are you talking about, what happened later?" he questions stupidly. He can't be serious. How do you not remember hitting someone? Especially when she kicked him in the balls.

I decide to enter anyway and push the door open. Roza's back is to me and I notice Jesse eyeing me up and down.

"What the hell man, do you just waltz into someone's apartment uninvited?" he shouts at me.

"Jesse, shut the fuck up! Unlike you, he was invited. In fact, I thought it was him when you showed up at my door." She defends.

I move past them to put my stuff on the kitchen table and stand behind Jesse, my arms crossed.

"I want you to leave Jesse." Roza demands.

"I just wanted another chance, Rose!"

"You never really had a chance to begin with! And you sure as fuck will never get one."

"What the hell did I do?"

"You actually expect me to believe that you don't remember, later that night after 'Guardian's'?" She asks rhetorically. "You showed up at my door, pissed assed drunk and you fucking punched me in the face!" She yelled. "You assaulted me, asshole!".

"I wouldn't do that."

"Well, you fucking did, now get out!" She screeches at him, pulling his arm and trying to push him out the door, but he won't move.

"She's asked you to leave, if you don't, I'll make you." I challenge, stepping forward

"Please, what are you? Her brother?" The idiot laughs at his own comment.

"I'm her boyfriend. Now I suggest you listen, and leave of your own accord."

"Whatever, this isn't finished." He threatens before sauntering out of her apartment. She slams the door and locks it behind him.

"Are you okay?" I question. She nods her head but I can see she's upset and trying to hold back tears.

"Come here, milaya." I comfort, wrapping my arms around her as she cuddles up to me.

"I thought it was you when there was a knock." She admits.

"It's okay. I don't believe for a second that he doesn't remember hitting you. His nuts would have been feeling it the morning after. That's for sure." I laugh, and that gets a smile out of her.

"I'm glad you're here."

"Dinner smells fantastic. I brought bread and a little wine."

"Thank you."

She heads back to the kitchen and starts slicing the French bread before adding some butter and sprinkling some parmesan cheese on it. When the lasagne is done, she pulls it out and puts the bread in to toast.

"So, are you traumatized from your naked encounter?" She laughs.

"Fuck, you have no idea. I wanted to bleach my eyes."

"You need something else to focus on then, is that it?" She teases.

"That would be nice." I flirt as she ambles over to me as I sit at her kitchen table. She straddles my lap and before I can blink, she lifts her t-shirt up showing she's not wearing a bra.

"Roza…" I mumble as my hands move from her hips and up her sides to cup her breasts, my thumbs brushing over her nipples. "Perfect."

"Is that better?" She teases, leaning in to kiss me.

"Fuck, yes." She stands abruptly.

"Need to check the toast. We can play after dinner." She smiles flirtatiously.

"Tease!"

"You love it!"

"That I do. Where do you keep your wine glasses?" I question, standing from my seat. She points to a cupboard in the far corner, "Top shelf,".

I grab two glasses and the plates and silverware and set our places at the table as she pulls the bread from the oven. She even threw together a Caesar salad.

After dinner, we wash the dishes together and every so often I grab her ass and she does the same to me.

"I'm glad you're feeling better, milaya."

"Thank you, for taking care of me last night." She grins.

"Anytime." I reply, kissing her sweetly on the lips.

She pours us each another glass of red wine before leading me into the living room where we settle on the couch.

"Movie?" she questions.

"Sure." I reply, sipping my wine as she cuddles into my side.

We settle on some WWII drama and once our wine is gone, I place our glasses on the coffee table. She now has both arms around my mid-section. My left arm is around her and I subtly reach down and cup her backside, squeezing gently. She looks up at me, a mischievous smile on her face.

Cupping her cheek with my right hand I bring my lips down to hers. She moves fast, and straddles me. I settle myself in the couch a little more, causing her to rest her core right over my rapidly growing erection. My hands are on her hips, gripping tightly as she grinds herself down onto me. A loud groan emanates from my throat at the friction between us.

"Dimitri…" She pants as she continues to press herself against me.

"Hmmm?" I murmur, my lips busy attacking the juncture between her neck and shoulder.

"Bedroom?"

"What are we doing?" I mumble.

"Everything."

I don't even reply, just stand with her in my arms. Her legs wrapping around my waist as I carry her into her room. I place her on the bed and she reaches over to turn on the bedside lamp as I strip off my shirt. Her movements mimic mine as she removes her shirt, leaving her completely bare on top. I move over her, first kissing her lips before moving down her neck. My left-hand grips her breast as my thumb and forefinger bring her nipple to a hardened peak.

"I want to taste you." I murmur as I suckle on her other nipple.

"Yes, please." She pants as I kiss my way down her abdomen. My eyes meet hers as I clutch the sides of her pants and pull them down, along with her panties. After discarding them on the floor, I settle between her legs and kiss her hip bones, one at a time, sucking gently before moving closer to her pussy.

"God, you smell fucking fantastic." I moan bringing my face closer to her glistening heat.

"Comrade, please." I smirk at her eagerness and the use of my new moniker before diving in and licking her sweet lips. She spreads her legs even farther apart and I immediately slip my tongue into her.

I use my tongue and lap at her clit a few times before inserting one, then two fingers into her slickness.

"Yes, Dimitri, more…." She cries. I graze my tongue over her engorged clit while pumping my fingers furiously before adding a third and curling them slightly. Her hands are in my hair urging me on and I'm so fucking hard for her that I'm grinding into the side of the mattress for some kind of relief.

"Come for me, Roza." I plead, my eyes connecting with hers as my tongue continues its assault on her clit and seconds later, I feel her clenching around my fingers. I lick my fingers clean before lapping up her juices and kissing my way back up to let her taste herself on my lips.

~VA TC VA~

Rose

He curls his fingers just right and I feel my orgasm hit and he licks his fingers and me clean. Kissing his way up my body, I latch my mouth to his, tasting myself on his lips. Pushing him onto his back I undo his jeans and pull them from his body, along with his boxer briefs. His erection springs free, slapping gently against his lower abdomen. Crawling up his body, I settle myself above him before lowering myself on his cock.

"Roza, condom!" He calls.

"I'm on birth control. But I can get one, if you prefer." I moan, my hips rocking over him.

"Fuck…Roza. So, so tight." He groans. "You're sure you're covered?" He asked.

"Yes. I'm sure. I promise." I assure. "You feel so good." I pant as his hands find purchase on my hips.

Leaning forward I rest my hands by his head as I lean down to kiss him, our tongues invading each other's mouths in a tango for dominance. He holds me steady and all of a sudden, I feel him pounding into me from below.

"Fuck, Comrade! Feels so good, don't stop." I mumble when suddenly he flips us so I'm now under him.

He lifts my legs so they're resting on his shoulders, allowing him to slip even deeper into me. We both groan at the new sensation and angle as he starts pounding into me again.

"Don't…stop…don't…stop…" I moan.

"Not a fucking chance." He growls.

"I'm going to come."

"I'm so close!" He replies. "Roza!" He groans.

Feeling the coil in my belly at my impending orgasm, I thrust my hips to meet his as I feel his thumb on my clit and that does it. My body explodes in the most powerful orgasm. A few strokes later and I feel him come inside me. He rests his weight on his hands over me, and I pull him down beside me, cuddling into his embrace.

"That was amazing, Comrade." I smile at him.

"I'm so glad you're feeling better." He grins at me, brushing my hair off my face. "And if you use it like that, I really don't mind you calling me, Comrade." He smirks.

I giggle as I trace my fingers over his abs. "If I thought I had no energy last night, then I definitely don't have any now!"

He laughs lightly before we head to my bathroom to clean up before crawling back into bed to sleep.

When I wake the following morning, I roll over and find Dimitri still asleep next to me. I take a look at the clock and see it's 8:37AM.

"Dimitri!" I shout, shaking him awake.

"Shit, what?" he cries, sitting up abruptly.

"You're late for work!" I cry, jumping from my bed, completely naked.

"Roza, I'm working from home today, suggestion from Arthur after yesterday's antics." He states.

"Really?"

"Yeah, really, now come back here and snuggle with me, naked…" He smirks at me.

I jump back into bed and wiggle closer to him and feel his hard cock against me. I rub my hands through his hair and watch as he lay on the cusp of sleep. I take this time to admire him from head to toe. His full, kissable lips, angular jawline, defined chest and arms. I tug the sheets down a little more and see the head of his dick peeking out.

Moving down the bed and between his legs, I take him in my mouth and suck on the head, hard. He shoots up suddenly.

"Holy fuck!" He shouts and I can't help but laugh at the look on his face.

"Good morning, Comrade." I smile as I deep throat him. He falls back on his pillow, his hands running through my hair.

"Roza, milaya, that feels amazing. Come here…" He purrs, pulling me up his body. Before I can blink, he sheaths himself inside of me and I start riding him, hard.

"Fuck, Dimitri. Why did we wait so long to have sex?" I laugh. He just smiles back up at me.

"I wanted to know you first." He starts thrusting up into me. "Then there's the anticipation. It was so worth it, no?" He replies.

"Of course." I reply, my hands on his chest as his hands on my hips help guide me.

"Can we try something?" he moans.

"What?"

"I wanna take you from behind."

"Yes, please." I smile, climbing from him and getting on my hands and knees.

He slips his cock into me with ease and starts a slow torturous rhythm.

"Faster Comrade."

"You want it hard, Roza?"

"Yes! Please, fuck me!"

He starts to pound into me and it feels so good. The orgasm hits me out of nowhere.

"Shit, Roza, I'm coming…" He growls as I feel him glide in and out a few more times before he shoots spurt after spurt of his come inside me.

"I think it's time for a shower." I state with a satiated smile.

After thoroughly washing each other in the shower, we dress for the day and I put on coffee. Dimitri wasn't kidding when he said he was working from home. He brought his laptop and set up at my kitchen table to get some stuff done while I made breakfast for us.

By mid-morning, I'd texted Lissa to confirm plans for this evening. We were meeting her and Christian at 'Guardian's' for 7:00PM to celebrate my promotion.

We lazed around my apartment for the afternoon and cuddled on the couch for a bit, made out a lot, shirts were removed and by four o'clock we were fucking on my couch. I couldn't get enough of him. By five, we needed another shower.

"Why don't you pack something and stay with me this weekend?" Dimitri questioned as he pulled a fresh shirt from his bag.

"I love that idea. I'll throw some things together then."

We left my apartment at 6:00PM on the dot and caught the train to 'Guardian's'.

Rose: We're here, where you at?

Lissa: Wanna play pool? Me and Christian are setting up the table.

Rose: Meet you there, just going to grab a drink first.

Dimitri agrees to a game of pool but tells me to go meet Lissa and Christian and he will grab us drinks.

"Rose!" Lissa shouts excitedly.

"Hey!" I reply as she hugs me.

"I'm so glad you're feeling better, where's Dimitri?"

"Getting drinks. Hey Christian." I greet with a small wave. He smiles shyly in reply.

"Rose, hi!" I hear from my left.

"Oh, hi Mason." I reply.

"Looks like you need a fourth?" He states gesturing to our pool game.

"We're good, thanks though." I state turning back to Lissa.

"I'm off tonight, I thought maybe I could join you guys." He interrupts once again.

An arm comes over my right shoulder and it's Dimitri handing me a beer. I take it from him and pull his arm around me before turning back to Mason.

"We have a fourth, but thanks anyway." I reply. I knew he had a crush but I really didn't want to encourage, but also didn't want to be rude.

"Right, okay. I'll just watch then."

"You, okay?" Dimitri whispers in my ear.

"Yeah, he's got the night off and is trying to weasel into our game."

"You know he has a crush on you right?" Lissa interjects.

"I know, but does he really?" I question. "Or does he just want to hang out?"

"Rose, why do you think we're ALWAYS seated in his section." She explains.

"I honestly never noticed."

"Christian and I have come here on nights you haven't been with us and we get seated elsewhere, but when you're with us, always in his section."

"Damn."

"Guess I'll have to stake my claim." Dimitri whispers in my ear, kissing my cheek and palming my ass with his hand.

"Please do!" I laugh, as we get ready to play our game. It's Christian and Lissa against Dimitri and I.

Christian breaks and pockets one of each, but picks stripes, so that leaves us with solids. He knocks another into a side pocket then scratches on the next. Dimitri takes his turn next and sinks three solids before scratching on the fourth. Lissa isn't able to sink anything on her turn and then it's up to me. I bank off the side and get one in the corner pocket before scratching on the next.

The game goes on before it's down to one stripe and the '8' ball. Christian sinks his stripe but sinks the cue ball with it. Dimitri is up next and with ease, sinks the '8' ball, landing us the win.

"We win!" I shout excitedly as Dimitri pulls me to him for a congratulatory kiss.

"We should go to our table and get some food yeah?" Lissa suggests, when Mason interrupts us once again.

"Good game you guys."

"Thanks, Mason. We're off now, have a good night." I state. He's so clueless, I don't want to be rude but talking too much might give him the wrong idea.

~VA TC VA~

Dimitri

I'm really getting irritated with Mason. Throughout our pool game he wouldn't stop staring at Roza, and not just at her. More so at her ass as she bent to take a shot. He approached again after our game and Roza once again tried to make it clear that we didn't want him around. We went to our table and for once we were not seated in his section.

Just as we sit down with our menus, we're interrupted by a loud voice.

"Hello my young friends!"

"Arthur!" We all reply gleefully.

"I'm glad to see you're feeling better, Rose! Lissa told me about this little celebration for tonight so I thought I would come by and buy you all a round of drinks!"

"Thank you, Arthur!" Roza replies happily.

After Vodka shots, courtesy of Arthur and preferred by me, we order dinner. Roza and I decide to share the nachos and I can see Mason eyeing us from the bar as he sits and drinks solo.

"You have your own stalker." I whisper in her ear.

"What, where?"

"Mason, at the bar, I swear he's following you and I don't like it."

She rests her hand on my thigh under the table in a way to comfort me. I know she doesn't have feelings for the guy, but he's creeping me the fuck out.

"Don't I have you to protect me, Comrade?"

"Of course, you know I will." I reply, leaning over to kiss her pouty lips.

We order a few pitchers of beer, and Arthur stays for dinner before leaving shortly after. Between the four of us, we manage to down three pitches of beer. All feeling a little tipsy at this point, we pay our bills and head to the train platform.

Lissa falls flat on her ass at least twice on the walk and just laughs hysterically at herself. A train is just leaving when we arrive, and it will be at least fifteen minutes before the next one.

"Rosesy!" She calls drunkenly. "Come dance with me!" Lissa pleads as she twirls around, reaching her hands out to Roza.

She jumps up from her seat next to me and the two of them start slow dancing together. Even though there is no music playing. Christian pulls out his phone and puts some music on. It's a fast-paced song, something you'd hear in a club.

"I love this song!" Lissa shouts gleefully as she pulls Christian up to dance with her.

Roza saunters over and starts dancing in front of me. I put my hands on her hips and pull her closer. She straddles my lap, her lips finding mine. Her hands wrap around my shoulders and up under my beanie into my hair and gently scratches at my scalp.

"I can't wait to get you home." She whispers in my ear before nipping at my ear lobe, her lips then find purchase on my neck and I feel her suckling there. I groan at the feeling.

"Why's that beautiful?" I reply, slipping my hands down to squeeze her behind.

"I want you to bend me over the back of your couch, and fuck me."

"OHMIGOD Rose!" Lissa shouts.

"What?" She replies in shock looking over at her friend.

"Keep that shit quiet!" She laughs.

"I was whispering in my head, I swear!" She laughs.

I kiss her cheek sweetly and laugh as the train pulls in. We stand and make our way on board. It's 10:30PM so it's not too busy, and we find a two-seater and sit side by side, Lissa and Christian right in front of us.

"I think I'm drunk." Rose mumbles.

"We'll get you some water when we get home." I add, gripping the strap to her overnight bag. If it weren't for me, she would have left it at 'Guardian's'.

"That's not what I want to get in me…" She flirts while laughing at her own joke. "I want you, Comrade." She teases, running her hand over my crotch.

"What is that you're holding Dimitri?" Lissa queries as she turns in her seat.

"My overnight bag." Roza smiles, her hand hidden underneath it as she continues to palm my dick.

"Ohhhhh…you guys are having a sleepover, you going to get sexy?" Lissa laughs.

"We've already done that, just going to do it again…and again!" She replies, giggling away with Lissa.

"Girls…" Christian mumbles as I shake my head, a tipsy smile on my face.

Christian helps a bumbling, drunk Lissa off the train and our stop is a few more away.

"Comrade," Rose whispers in my ear.

"Yes, milaya?"

"I've sort of had a fantasy about you and I on this train."

"What's that?"

"Riding home when it's busy and crowded." She pauses. "With the possibility that we could get caught. I really want you finger fuck me."

I can't help the broad smile from appearing on my face as she looks at me with a grin just as wide.

"We'll have to wait until nicer weather when I can wear a skirt though." She states, matter of fact.

"I'm sure we can make that happen, Roza." I smirk, leaning over and kissing her cheek. "You know. I have my own fantasy." I share.

"Ohhhhh, what is that?"

"Bending you over my desk at work."

"I like that, a lot, and now with hour long lunches, I think we can make that happen, and soon!" She states assuredly.

"Our stop is next, milaya." I relay, helping her stand. I wrap my arm around her waist, to guide her.

"I'm not so drunk anymore, I think it's wearing off." She states as she leads me off the train.

"That's good, still buzzed though?"

"Buzzed, yes."

As I lead her to my apartment, I open the front door of the building and she skips to the elevator. I can't help but smirk at her adorableness. The elevator opens before I even get there and she hops on. She pops her head out.

"You coming?" She teases.

"Soon, hopefully." I flirt back. She just smiles as she starts unbuttoning her coat.

When we get to my door, I open it pretty quickly, and she pulls me inside, slamming it after me and locking it. I put her bag down and strip my jacket off and stand there looking at her.

"Keep going," She states as she pulls her shirt over her head, before moving to the button on her jeans.

She pulls them down and off before walking over to my couch and bending herself over it.

"Shit, Roza." I groan at the sight of her spread over my couch.

"Come and fuck me, Comrade." She giggles.

I strip off my shirt and pants and slip myself into her hot pussy. This is fast and hard, and within moments we're both coming.

"Fuck. I love it when you take me from behind." She pants, turning in my arms to kiss me. I lift her into my arms as she wraps her legs around my waist and I walk us to my bedroom to continue our sexcapades.

Rose

By the time Monday morning rolled around, I was a nervous wreck. Dimitri tried to calm my fears on our morning commute.

"Roza, relax, you're going to do fine."

"I'm sorry, I'm just afraid of screwing something up. Like monumentally and ruining the whole fucking campaign!"

He laughed at that before putting his arm around my shoulders as we made our way down the steps from the train platform.

"Let's get some Starbucks, and try to calm those nerves." He reassured.

Making our way into the office, I was met with stares. It would seem that a memo went out via e-mail announcing my promotion. Not to mention the 'rumours' about Avery's actions on Thursday. Lissa was in early today as well to go over our new morning routine. I would be getting my own assistant, but for the first week, Lissa would be assisting Dimitri and I as one unit.

"So, I guess I don't have to get you morning coffee?" She teased, seeing our Venti Starbucks drinks in hand.

"It's so weird. I might just get my own coffee you know; I feel weird ordering someone around."

"Rose, it's the assistant's job to be ordered around." Lissa replied.

"I know, this is going to take getting used to."

"Go meet with your man and have a few moments before the day starts." She urges.

After putting my coat and bag securely in my own office I head over to Dimitri's to see what the day will hold.

"Hey, before we get into our day, I want a few more minutes with my girl." He smiles, coming around his desk and encasing me in his arms. His lips meet mine softly.

"I know you're nervous, milaya."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, you'll see it's nothing. I know it's easy to say relax but until you see it's fine…" He trails off.

A few more kisses happen before Dimitri logs into his computer and pulls up the file for the campaign I'm going to be working on.

"The files have been sent to you, so just go with the basic outline, and ask me anything, no question is stupid. Got it?"

"Yes." I reply, letting out a huge breath before making my way to my own office to begin.

~VA TC VA~

Dimitri

Roza was too adorable, the way she kept biting at her lip in nervousness. She had the skills to do the job but was psyching herself out. Once she got going on the account, she would be fine. Throughout the morning she'd pop into my office periodically with small questions or to ask advice on a certain image or layout. I couldn't help but smile at her. The ideas for the campaign were perfect. She just needed the confidence to go with it.

Just before lunch, Arthur came by and looked in on Roza. I left my office door open for the most part so I could peek at her. Even from my perch behind my desk I could see she was blushing as Arthur looked at her work so far. He was obviously impressed. The day flew by, as did the week and by then a few weeks had passed.

Roza was a consummate professional and settled into her new position with ease. I didn't particularly like her appointed assistant, Isaiah. He was polite and completed his tasks as requested but he always just stood a little too close to her for my liking, touching her arm or back unnecessarily. At least it felt that way. Roza didn't even notice it.

We were coming up to the end of the month of May, and this afternoon, Roza was presenting her campaign to the client. Arthur asked that I sit in to help guide her as this was her first time presenting to a client. I knew she would do just fine but I loved to watch her in her element. Her confidence had finally started to acclimate along with her and it showed.

"Dimitri!" She shrieked as she slammed my office door suddenly.

"What's wrong?" I questioned, seeing the look of panic on her face.

"I'm going to screw this up! I know it." She cried.

"Milaya, calm down. You know this campaign back to front and upside down. I'll be in the room, if I need to help I will, but you have it!" I tried to calm her, wrapping her up in my arms as she rested her head against my chest.

An hour later we made our way to the conference room, and Roza held her head high and walked in with conviction. You wouldn't have known, not an hour previously, she was having a mini-meltdown.

"Mr. Badica, I'm Rose Hathaway, pleasure to meet you." She greets, shaking the hand of our client. He smiled politely and directed her to begin her presentation of the new campaign.

She was so at ease once she got started and it was obvious Mr. Badica was thoroughly impressed.

"This is perfect." He stated simply. The smile on Roza's face was infectious.

"Thank you, I'm so glad you like it."

We concluded the meeting and by the end of the day Roza was exhausted. She'd tired herself out with all her worrying.

"You ready to head out?" I questioned meeting her at her office door.

"Yes. I don't want to do 'Guardian's' tonight. I just want to go home." She stated, grabbing her bag and slipping it across her body.

"Why don't we grab some take out?" I suggest.

"Chinese?"

We make our way to the train and I tell Rose to go home while I get off at the next stop and get us dinner. Being that it's a Friday night, it's a little busy and it takes a half hour before my order is ready.

Thankfully, with the month almost into June, the weather has been impeccably nicer. The rain hasn't been too pleasant but it's better than all the damn snow we had. When I reach her building, I use the keys she'd let me keep and head inside. When I reach her door, I hear voices inside.

"I know, the kitchen is small, but it serves its purpose." I hear Roza exclaim.

"True," An unknown, female voice replies.

"Milaya?" I call as I enter. I slip off my shoes and pull off my coat, hanging it by the door before heading into the kitchen to see Roza sitting at the table with a new friend.

"Hey!" She replies happily. I bend down to kiss her lips sweetly before she introduces me to her guest.

"This is Camille, she just moved in down the hall. Camille this is my boyfriend Dimitri." Roza introduces.

She reaches out her hand to shake and I smile politely.

"Nice to meet you." I state as I put the bag with our dinner on the counter.

"Did you want to stay for dinner? We always get too much." Roza offers.

"I don't want to intrude." She states eyeing me.

"You're not, I'm sure you didn't even think of food when moving in today!"

"I didn't actually and I'm starving!"

I'm pretty quiet throughout their exchange and I grab plates and silver ware.

"Let's eat in the living room, there's more room." Roza suggests as I follow her with our dinnerware.

After eating, we're sitting around the living room when Camille speaks up.

"So, do you guys live together?" She questions looking at me.

"No, but we have a lot of sleep overs at each other's places." Roza laughs. I smile at her adoringly, and lean over to kiss her.

"We rarely sleep apart actually, so if I'm home, you're usually with me and vice versa." She adds, snuggling closer to me.

"I hate sleeping without you." I state, kissing her soundly, once more.

"You guys are too cute." Camille interjects. Once again, she's looking at me. "I should go, you guys probably want to be alone." Camille adds. She's pretty spot on. It's not that I don't like the girl but something bothers me about her. Okay, I guess that actually does mean I don't like her.

I take our plates to the kitchen as Roza walks her to the door.

"Please don't hesitate to stop by if you need something." Roza offers before I hear her close and lock the door.

I'm washing the dishes when I feel her wrap her arms around me from behind.

"You, okay? You've been pretty quiet." She states, resting her head against my back.

"Yeah, just wasn't expecting to have unexpected company when I got here." I explain, rinsing the last plate before setting it in the rack to dry. Turning in her arms, I bring her closer to me and lift her up onto the counter.

"What did you think of Camille?" She asks suddenly.

"Seems nice enough. How did she end up here?"

"She was struggling with a box in the elevator when I got on, I helped her. Plus, she didn't have any toilet paper and needed a roll so I invited her over."

"Right." I hummed, running my hands over her hips and up to her breasts.

"Dimitri?"

"Hmmm…" I mumbled, latching my lips to her neck.

"Bedroom."

We make it to her bedroom and in minutes, my shirt is gone and she is naked below me on the bed. Just as I'm about to undo my jeans there is a knock on the door.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." I mumble into her neck. She giggles in reply.

"Stay here, don't move!" I state with a smile before running to the door. Flinging it open, I find Camille is standing there in her pyjamas, if you can call them that.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry but, I forgot the roll of toilet paper."

I look over and see said roll on the table by the door. I grab it, shove it into her hands and go to close the door.

"Wait!" She smirks.

"What?" I want her gone so I can get back to my girl. My naked girl at that.

"We should get together sometime." She flirts, reaching forward and sticking something into my jeans pocket. I grab her hand and push her out.

"Are you fucking serious right now?" I slam the door and lock it, heading back into Roza's bedroom.

I pull whatever she slipped into my pocket out and laugh.

"What's so funny handsome?" Roza calls from her perch.

"Your new friend just made a pass at me." I state holding up the slip of paper with her number on it.

"What?" She states angrily, sitting up on the bed. "Oh, hell no." She adds, climbing from the bed.

"What exactly are you going to do, milaya?"

"I don't know, but fuck. I invite her in and she hits on my boyfriend!" She exclaims angrily, her hands on her naked hips. I can't help but check her out as her breasts jiggle with her actions.

"I am a hot piece of ass, I know." I smile at her. She's pretty sexy when she's fired up. Like an angry little kitten.

"You're an ass." She admonishes jokingly, laughing gently as well.

"Milaya, you have nothing to worry about. You know you're my girl." I state pulling her to me.

"The moment is ruined. I need a shower." She states heading to the bathroom. I can feel the anger rolling off of her.

~VA TC VA~

Rose

The fucking nerve of some people. I actually thought I could be friends with Camille. Knowing she hit on Dimitri is not surprising, I know he's attractive, but she sat in my living room while we served her dinner.

After starting the shower and testing the temperature of the water, I step in. I can hear Dimitri puttering around. I don't take long and scrub down before stepping out. Drying off as I head back to my bedroom, I notice Dimitri is lying in bed. The TV is on and he's perusing Netflix.

"You feel better?" He questions.

I go to grab some pyjamas and lay them on the bed as I eye him, my towel still around me.

"I'm sorry."

"Roza, what are you sorry for?" He questions.

"For your new admirer." I state sadly.

"Come here, please." He calls, holding out his hand. I climb onto the bed and he pulls me against him. My head is on his shoulder as he looks down at me.

"What's really bothering you? I mean I've had girls hit on me before but you've never been this angry about it."

"I don't know, I guess it's that, I invited her in and…"

"You feel used?" he offers.

"Exactly!"

"Rose, you are the most important person in my life." He states as I look up at him.

"So are you."

"You remember that conversation we had over dinner at my place where I told you about my family. Well, parts about my family?" He reminded.

I nodded. "There's more to that." He paused.

Dimitri explained that while he did have an abusive father and three sisters, and even though they only lived about an hour away now, they didn't see much of each other. He had scared off his dad when he was ten, then again in his teens and for the most part his dad, Randall, stayed away.

"But, Mama. She would end up inviting him back and when I wasn't living at home anymore…" He trailed off. "We fought about it, and she has refused to speak to me for making him leave. Again."

"Dimitri!" I replied in shock. "I'm so sorry." I comforted. "So, you don't see your mother, sisters? Their kids?"

"No. They sided with Mama. Saying I should have stayed out of it." He added sadly. "I have heard from my youngest sister, Viktoria, on occasion, but not often."

"Comrade." I murmured, snuggling into his arms and wrapping mine around his shoulders. "I'm so sorry."

"The point is. With how things ended up, them not speaking to me…" He couldn't seem to find the words.

"You felt like they used you when it benefited them at the time." I offered.

"Yeah. Exactly." He replied. "Mama seemed happy the first time I got rid of him, so when I did it again… I just don't understand how she could want him to come back."

"Some might like to think it was love, but maybe there is something more to it." I suggested.

"My father was into some shady business, so maybe there is something more to it. But really, it doesn't feel that way." He finalized.

"Maybe, you'll get answers. Some day." I tried to alleviate, earning me a small smile in return.

"The point of that though was to point out, that everyone has moments where they're only good for something at that time." He went on. "You might feel used right now. But in some ways, she owes you."

"Ugh, the only thing she owes me is allowing me to shove my boot up her ass." I reply.

Dimitri smiles. "You feel better, saying that?" He adds, kissing my cheek.

"Yes, actually. Thanks, Comrade." I state, cuddling against him.

"Roza, I've never said this to anyone before." He begins as he turns me to him so his eyes can meet mine.

"What?"

"I love you, Roza. I'm so fucking in love with you." He states firmly before kissing me soundly as if to make his point. "And it would be my pleasure for you to use me, anytime." He jokes.

I can't help the smile that overcomes my face as I move to straddle him, my towel falling off me in the process.

"I love you too, so fucking much." I reply, as he sits up, pulling me flush against him.

Struggling with the blankets, I pull them away from him to find he was in my bed naked. I find his cock and stroke him a few times as he groans into my neck before positioning myself over him and sinking down onto him.

"Fuck, Roza, you feel so good." He pants as I ride him, slow.

"Yeah, well I'm using your cock for my benefit." She jokes.

"No…argument." He growls. "From me."

He kisses my lips sweetly and mumbles, "I love you; I love you…" as our breathing intensifies. His hands grip my hips guiding me as our eyes connect. "I love you." I reply as our lips find each other's once more. We climax together and fall into bed, content. Wrapped in each other's arms.

~VA TC VA~

Dimitri

Sunday morning, I headed back to my place. Camille had interrupted us a few too many times on Saturday, and we'd had enough.

Roza hadn't confronted her about her making a pass at me, but what good would it do really? A confrontation would just show that it bothered Roza, and me if I'm being honest. So, we decided not to give her the attention for it.

I hated being without Roza. It was at the point where I just wanted to ask her to move in with me. Camille seemed to be that extra push needed for me to ask. But I also didn't want her to think I was asking her just to get away from Camille. I wanted her with me always and even though we had declared that we loved one another, was she ready for that?

After a lonely shower, I crawled into bed around 10:30PM. I couldn't fall asleep though. I kept reaching out for Roza, and when I realized she wasn't there, I became even more frustrated.

Glancing at the clock, I saw that it was going on 1:30AM when the buzzer for my apartment echoed down the empty hallway. I clamoured from my bed, and pulled on my jeans before heading to the intercom.

"Hello?"

"Dimitri?" I heard Roza squeak.

"Come in, milaya." I replied, pushing the button to buzz her in. I opened my apartment door and waited for the elevator to ding.

When the doors opened, Roza stepped off. She was looking haggard and had what appeared to be soot on her cheek. Trailing behind her was a rolling suitcase and a shaken Camille.

"What the hell happened, Roza?" I crooned pulling her into my arms.

"There was a fire in the apartment building." Camille explained, her eyes trained on the floor.

"Are you guys, okay?" I questioned, feeling over Roza for any marks.

"Slight smoke inhalation, but we were cleared by the medics on scene. We can't stay in the building for a few days until it's deemed structurally sound." Roza explained.

"Okay, come in." I stated, as I grabbed her suitcase. Camille only had a small bag, thankfully.

Roza showed Camille the spare bathroom and left her to clean up.

"Are you guys hungry?" I asked as she came back from showing Camille the bathroom.

"No, I'm sorry for bringing her here, but she doesn't know anyone else in town yet." She explained, shrugging her shoulders dejectedly.

"It's okay, for now." I reply.

"For now?" She teases with a raised eyebrow.

"She crosses any lines, she's out, I don't care."

She nods mutely.

"Plus, I can lock my bedroom door." I explain as I grab a few bottles of water from the fridge. Camille emerges from the bathroom, showered and clean and wearing actual clothes. To my relief. Roza grabs the extra pillows and blankets from the hall cupboard and gives them to Camille and leads her to the couch. I hand her a water bottle.

"Don't bother us." I admonish. "We have to be up for work at 6:00AM" I add.

"I won't." She replies sullenly. She actually seemed upset. Making her appear human and not so much as a conniving manipulator.

"You need to be ready to go by 7:30AM" Roza explains.

"Fine." She states irritatingly.

I lead Rose to my room and lock the door after her.

"I need a shower." She states heading to my ensuite.

She showers rather quickly, just to get the grime off of her and crawls into bed with me after pulling on some her boy-short underwear and a tank top.

"Do they know how the fire started?" I questioned as she cuddles into my side.

"No, the Fire Marshall was on scene when we were cleared to leave. But they believe it started in the basement."

"I'm glad you're okay." I state, kissing her forehead, pulling her close to me.

"Me too. I could smell smoke and went out into the hallway. The fire alarm started moments later and I ran into Camille as we headed down the stairs. No one seemed to be hurt. A few people from the first floor were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation but that was the worst of it."

"You know, you could just move in with me." I state rather abruptly. She sits up suddenly.

"Are you serious?"

"I've been thinking about it for a while now. We barely spend a night alone and I hate sleeping without you. In fact, I can't sleep without you. I was still awake when you buzzed my door." I explain, cupping her face in my hands and pulling her lips to mine.

"Dimitri?"

"Hmmmm…."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I am. I want you with me, all the time, Roza. Whether that's here or we find a new place together, I want us to live together. I know it's only been a few months, but I love you." I state assuredly.

She's quiet, biting on her lower lip as she thinks it over.

"You're going to draw blood." I tease, pulling her lip from her teeth.

"Sorry," She smiles sheepishly.

"What do you want, milaya?"

"I want you, all the time. I want to live with you too." She smiles.

"Do you want to move in here?"

"Yes." She smiles once again. Cuddling into my side we finally drift off to sleep only to be woken by the alarm at 6:00AM.

"Geez, if feels like we just fell asleep." She yawns.

"I know. I need a shower." I add, stretching.

"I'll put on coffee and see how our guest is doing." She explains. I grab her around the waist before she can leave the bed completely and kiss her, smacking her ass gently before heading to the bathroom for my shower.

~VA TC VA~

Rose

Camille is still asleep on the couch when I head past her into the kitchen to put on coffee. Knowing we have a long day ahead, I pull eggs from Dimitri's fridge and make a pan of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. Camille joins me a few minutes before everything is done and takes a seat at the breakfast bar. I hand her the plate of toast to butter for me.

"You sleep, okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, thanks, that couch is incredibly comfy." She smiles.

"Yeah, I know. It's great." I add as I feel Dimitri encircle my waist from behind kissing my neck.

"Thanks for making breakfast, milaya." He smiles before pouring us all a coffee.

"Do you have cream and sugar?" Camille asks.

"No, sorry, we take it black. There's milk, if that will do?" Dimitri replies.

"I guess, thanks." She replies a little snottily.

We've taken her in and she's being rude? Bitch, please. Obviously, she is somewhat fake and was showing me a side of her she wanted me to see. I heard Dimitri grumble slightly beside me.

There is a tension in the air but we try to ignore it. As we gather our stuff to leave, I remind Camille to get her bag and all of her stuff. I even go and check the spare bathroom to make sure she didn't purposefully leave anything behind.

"Where are we going?" Camille asks when we get on the elevator. Dimitri looks annoyed.

"We're going to work; you can do whatever you want." Dimitri states, walking off the elevator once we've reached the lobby.

"I don't have anywhere to go." She whines. I remind her of the offer from the landlord to be put up in the cheap motel until we were allowed back into the building. She huffs, like we're putting her out.

After leaving the building, we all get on the train and Camille tries to sit beside Dimitri. I grab her arm and pull her away.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Sitting down." She replies as she moves to sit beside him again.

"Sit there." Dimitri barks, pointing to the seats across from him as he pulls me to sit beside him.

Camille, thankfully gets off two stops later to head to the apartment building.

"I'm sorry about her."

"It's not your fault." He comforts. "But she's not coming back to my place, I don't care what sob story she tries to lay on you." He adds.

"I hope they clear the building today." I reply as he threads our hands together.

"You're not responsible for her well-being Roza, she's an adult."

"I know."

"So…" He starts.

"So?"

"When do you want to move in?" He smiles at me.

I can't help but laugh at his eagerness.

"This weekend?" I reply eagerly.

"Works for me." He replies, kissing me soundly.

Work is work. It's slow, but we're just beginning the next campaign and the client is being difficult, shooting down all of Dimitri's ideas. He's getting frustrated.

I'm sitting at my desk going over the notes from the initial meeting with the client and the ideas Dimitri has come up with are all in line with what they've asked for. So, we're both at a loss as to what the real problem is.

"Let's go get lunch." He states, walking in.

"Yes please."

Walking across the street to the delicatessen we love so much, I feel Dimitri slip his hand into the back pocket of my jeans, squeezing my ass gently as I wrap my arm around his waist. We make a big point of not touching too much in the office, unless we are behind one of our locked office doors. The deli is crowded today and I ramble off to Dimitri what I want before securing a table near the back wall.

Just as I sit down, my iPhone rings. Looking at the display, I don't recognize the number.

"Hello?" I answer cautiously.

"Ms. Rose Hathaway?"

"Yes, this is she."

"This is Deborah, the building manager." She explains.

I realize it's about my apartment.

"Oh, hi, is everything okay with the building?"

"Yes, it was just cleared. It's been deemed structurally sound and the few beams that did catch fire have been replaced, so you can move back in at any time. I also wanted to let you know that it's been six-months since you moved in, so if you want to renew your lease, I'll need to know by June 1st."

"Actually, I'm going to be moving in with my boyfriend." I explain as Dimitri sits down across from me. I had completely forgotten that I would need to sign a new lease after six months, so moving in with Dimitri came at the most perfect opportunity.

"You don't want to renew then?"

"No, I'll be moving this weekend actually. I'll be out by June 1st."

"Okay, perfect then. Thanks for the notice."

We end our call and I turn back to Dimitri.

"Good news?" He questions.

"The building is safe, and this is perfect timing for me to move in with you, my six-month lease is up at the end of the month.

"Perfect indeed, milaya." He replies, leaning over to kiss me before we dig into our lunch.

"Every fucking time!" I laugh looking up to see the mayonnaise on the corner of his lips.

After lunch, we head back to the office and still have just over a half an hour before we have to get back to it, but I pull Dimitri into his office and close the door before locking it.

"You know that fantasy of yours?" I tease.

"Which one?" He laughs back, moving his hands to my ass.

"The one where you fuck me over your desk?" I flirt, moving my lips to his neck.

"Shit, Roza. We have to be quiet." He mumbles as I move to unbuckle his belt.

We fumble with our clothes and I peel my jeans and underwear off as he lifts me onto the edge of his desk. I move my hand down and stroke him through his boxer briefs a few times before he pushes them down off his hips.

"You read, milaya?" He breathes against my neck before I tighten my legs around him in answer.

He slips inside me agonizingly slow.

"Faster, Comrade!" I pant as his hands grip my hips and he starts to thrust into me, hard and fast.

"Fuck."

"God, this is good." I pant in reply. I push him away for a moment before jumping down and bending over his desk so he can take me from behind.

No words are spoken as he slips his cock back into me and fucks me harder. I'm sliding against his desk and the pen holder falls to the floor as he continues to pound me from behind. I'm trying to keep my moans quiet, but it's so difficult. I cup my hand over my own mouth when I feel his hand snake around my front. He pulls at my clit, rubbing furiously and seconds later I feel my orgasm wash over me. A moment later I feel him spill into me as well. After a few minutes, he pulls out slowly before collapsing into his desk chair. A happy, satisfied smirk on his face.

"Was it good for you?" I tease, before grabbing my pants and heading into the washroom to clean up.

"Fuck Roza, the risk of getting caught is such a turn on." He replies, finally pulling his own pants and boxer briefs back up.

When I come out of the bathroom, he meets me by the door and kisses me soundly. We make out for a few minutes before I unlock the door.

"Coffee?" I ask before leaving.

"Yes please." He replies, swatting my ass one last time.

Dimitri

Fucking Rose over my desk was so goddamn good. Trying to keep quiet and not get caught as well, was a big turn on. She returned about ten minutes later with coffee for both of us and Lissa trailing behind her. I met her at my door and thanked her for the coffee when Isaiah interrupted.

"I could have gotten that for you Rose." He commented.

"That's okay, Isaiah, I still had time left on my lunch and wanted to."

"Should we meet in my office and go over the ideas for that campaign?" She added turning to me.

"Yes, let me grab my notes." I exclaim. I follow her and can't help but notice the eye-fuck Isaiah gives me. 'What the hell?', I think to myself.

After our meeting on the account, we finally find the missing piece of the campaign and I spend a good two hours getting the image just right. By the end of the day, we're both exhausted. Roza is standing by Lissa's desk telling her about moving in with me and I'm glad to see how excited Lissa is for her.

"Christian and I can help you if you want, maybe I'll come by after work a few nights this week and help you pack up?" She offers.

"I would love that actually. I need to rent a truck too." Roza adds.

"No, you don't, I have a truck." I interject.

"You do?" She replies, confused.

"Yeah, I commute to work, but I own a Ford truck." I explain. "It should hold all your stuff. We might need to make a few trips." I add.

"Perfect. Okay, Lissa, tomorrow after work, meet at my place, and we can start packing."

"Am I allowed to crash your girl packing party?" I tease.

"Of course, who else is going to lift the boxes." She teases. I smile at her before we say goodbye to Lissa and Isaiah before finishing out our day.

The rest of the week goes by pretty slowly and we gladly, don't see much of Camille. I made a trip down to Home Depot Wednesday after work to pick up boxes. Parking my truck on the street in front of her building, I grab the stack of cardboard and head inside.

When I reach her apartment, Roza is in the kitchen, packing up her dishware and dancing along to music that is playing in the background. She looks fucking adorable as she shakes her hips around, oblivious to her surroundings. I take a moment to enjoy the view of her ass and hips as she wiggles around.

"Having fun, milaya?" I tease, finally stepping forward and wrapping my arms around her waist.

"Shit! Dimitri. You scared the crap out of me." She laughs.

"You look cute, dancing like that." I flirt, leaning down to kiss her.

"Rose, I need more boxes." I hear. Lissa emerges from the bedroom.

"Here you go." I state, cutting the tie holding the boxes together with the knife from the kitchen counter before handing a few to her.

"Thanks, Dimitri." She replies.

"Have you guys eaten dinner yet?" I ask.

"No, we were going to order in, but wanted to wait for you, what do you want?" Roza states, wrapping up a few more plates.

"Pizza?" I offer.

"Sounds good."

Roza places the order and has it set to be delivered. We continue packing while we wait. When the buzzer from the door sounds, I go to grab it, expecting it to be the delivery person. But Roza stops me.

"What?"

"Money." She states, going for her wallet.

"Don't worry about it, I got it." I reply pulling my wallet out, and kissing her cheek before heading to the door.

"What the fuck?" I announce after I open the door and see the last person, I expected to be delivering pizza.
