Chapter 14

Rose

I stood there in the kitchen, talking to Lissa, Sydney, Jill and Mia, laughing about what Jill just said and then it happened. Something shattered and the girls and I ran into the living room. There was a broken vase on the floor, Dimitri, Ivan, Christian, Adrian and Eddie around it and we all look at each other with wide eyes.

“Screw this!”, Dimitri growled suddenly.

He became a determined look in his eyes and began walking towards me. With a few long strides he was in front of me. I frowned, wondering what the hell had happened and he was doing now. And then his hands were on my cheeks, his face so near mine and without seeing it coming Dimitri's lips crashed against mine and he kissed me. For a second I stood there frozen on the spot, until I regained the ability to move my own muscles again. Then I threw my arms around Dimitri's neck and deepened our kiss. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I immediately granted him entrance, my body knew what it wanted before my mind registered it and soon I found myself in a battle of dominance with Dimitri. I didn't care who won, I just enjoyed his kiss!

*A few hours earlier*

When I finally got out of the shower and Dimitri took his turn I dressed myself in jeans shorts and a dark blue T-Shirt with silver/white writing on it. With still wet hair I went into the kitchen and got myself a glass of water. Then I heard the doorbell and wondered who was visiting and if I was supposed to open or talk to Dimitri first. No, I thought. I lived here with him, I wasn't a guest, I could open the damn door! When I let the elevator up I was surprised to see so many people in it.

“Rose!”, Adrian cheered, when he laid eyes on me.

He opened his arms and gave me a big and long hug. He only let me go when Ivan and Christian pulled him off of me.

“Thanks, guys”, I mumbled a little uncomfortable.

I hugged Ivan – not Christian – and Eddie. I was surprised to see him among these guys, but I was glad to see him, so I didn't question his presence here. Among the guys were four girls and Lissa was the only one I knew. She immediately went in for a hug and I hugged her back.

“Rose!”, she screamed ecstatic.

“Hey, Liss”, I laughed.

“Okay this is Jill, my half sister. The blond one with straight hair? That's Sydney, she is super smart! And the one looking like a doll is Mia, she is more the fashion type.”

“Hey, does that mean I'm dumb?”, Mia asked offended.

“The fact that you had to ask that question is answer enough”, Jill replied smiling.

“What the hell does that mean?”, Mia screeched.

“Hey Mia, a martini?”, Lissa asked.

“Yay!”, Mia chirped and bounced up and down, her ringlets with her.

Lissa pulled Mia into the kitchen in search of alcohol and I saw the guys already lounging in the living room.

“Guys, not that I'm not happy you're here but … why are you here?”, I asked.

“Oh, we do this all the time”, Ivan answered. “We meet up somewhere, get drunk and do silly things. Normally it was just us guys, this is the first time with girls around.”

Ivan winked at me and I don't know why, but I laughed at this gesture. At this exact point Dimitri came out of our bedroom and down the stairs.

“Hey guys, you're already here”, Dimitri stated.

“You knew they were coming and didn't think you could, oh I don't know, tell me?”, I asked a little pissed.

Seriously, why didn't he tell me? I mean it's possible that I had plans myself or wanted to do something on my own in our apartment, not his. I saw annoyance in Dimitri's eyes and I could actually hear the insult that was waiting on his tongue, but then something in his eyes changed and he looked apologetic. He came the last stairs down and stood in front of me.

“I'm sorry, Roza”, he whispered and his right hand came up to my cheek.

His thumb drew circles and his eyes bore into mine.

“I didn't mean to upset you”, he breathed.

His dark chocolate brown eyes became even darker and his body came closer to mine.

“Do you forgive me?”, he asked looking sad.

It was like you looked into the eyes of a puppy or a baby cat, you just couldn't say no. The problem was that I knew what he was doing, but I still couldn't bring myself to say no.

“Yes”, I breathed.

“Great”, he said smug and kissed my cheek. “So Ivan, no strippers?”

The guys hollered loudly and I saw a visible red on Ivan's cheeks, while Dimitri just smirked. I rolled my eyes and made my way into the kitchen with Jill and Sydney in tow. What I saw there made me stop dead in my tracks so that Sydney or Jill, I don't know which one walked straight into me.

“I'm so sorry, but -”

And she cut herself off when she saw what I saw. And then I heard a gasp behind me, when the third of us saw the scene in the kitchen.

“What the hell?”, I asked no one particular.

“So that's what you are doing when we're not around, huh?”, one of the girls behind me asked.

“Oh don't you look at me like that”, Lissa snapped. “You want to know these things too and Mia knows these things, so I use her.”

“You use her to show you how to give Chris a blow job”, Sydney said and went to Lissa. “With a cucumber.”

Sydney took said cucumber from Lissa and threw it in the trash.

“No!”, Lissa screamed. “Damn it Sydney, I still needed that, Mia wanted me to show how I -”

“Don't even finish that sentence!”, I cut her off.

“Why?”, Mia asked. “It's not like any of us haven't done -”

“And you shut up, too”, Jill said pointing a finger at Mia.

“Someone said something about martini's, right?”, Sydney asked. “I think we're going to need them now.”

And we did need them! The girls and me stayed in the kitchen for a while, mixing martinis and drinking them. We talked a bit and I learned a lot about the girls. Lissa told me all about their family backgrounds, but I didn't really listen. Honestly the things I needed to know were simple. All of them were the daughter of a man who was a big shot in the city, which meant they were rich. End of story. I didn't need to know more. After that the more interesting details came. All of them were at our school except for Sydney.

Sydney was the smart girl, we were the same age but she was already in college, her second year. Yes, she was that smart! She saw things like they were, she was honest and voiced her thoughts out. She was pretty, had straight blond hair that reached her chin and a tattoo of a golden lily, but nobody knew why.

Jill was a lot like Lissa, nice, friendly, open and kind. She always had a smile on her face and was really optimistic.

Mia was … another story. She loved to party all the time and well … she loved sex. She wasn't a slut, because she didn't have sex every night with different guys, she just told us she enjoyed it in many ways. She was the perfect image of a city party girl, at least of the girls I always imagined.

After we drank a few drinks, we made our way into the living room to the boys and we were kind enough to bring each one of them an ice cold bear.

It seemed like all the girls went automatically to their boys. Lissa went to Christian – of course -, Sydney to Adrian – I thought Mia would go to him -, Jill to Eddie – which surprised me, too –, Mia to Ivan – which surprised me only a little - and I went to Dimitri. Dimitri was sitting on one of two chairs, so I couldn't take a seat beside him. Well I could on the armrest, but that wasn't really a comfortable place to sit. I still sat down on the armrest of the big chair, but Dimitri frowned and pulled me into his lap.

“Sit on my lap, that's more comfortable”, he just said like it was the simplest thing in the world.

Lissa did the same and took a place on Christian, but he didn't mind, he just put one arm around her, while she lay her head on his shoulder. The others all sat beside each other, but really close.

After a few hours we were all pretty drunk, at least I think we all were, I just know that I was. It turned into a great day and I was thankful to have Dimitri's (and maybe my) friends over.

Dimitri and I were more cozy than ever, we stayed close all the time, Dimitri's hands on me all the time. He ran them up my thighs, my arms, my waist or hips, and a lot through my hair. He played with my hair a few times or twirled it around his fingers, but I think I was the only one who really noticed the things. It probably seemed like nothing to the others, because well … we were a married couple.

“So Christian”, Adrian drawled. “Truth or Dare?”

I still couldn't believe we actually played that game!

“Truth, I don't trust you.”

“I'm wounded!”, Adrian said and put a hand over his heart, taking a swig of his bear bottle. “But whatever. We already know it turns you on to sleep with your Liss somewhere that isn't your bedroom, so do tell which place makes you go all crazy?”

Lissa's cheeks turned a dark shade of red that really stood out against her pale skin and blonde hair. But Christian wasn't embarrassed, he merely shrugged and answered without hesitation.

“Church”, he said.

We all burst out laughing. The boys with their deep chuckles and the girls with their high pitched giggled, it sounded awful, but I loved the carefree feeling around us.

“T- That's awesome, dude”, Ivan laughed. “R- Really, that's a good one!”

Christian just rolled his eyes, he seemed really open about his sexual fantasies. Lissa on the other hand was blushing more and more.

“So it's my turn, right?”, Christian asked. “Okay, Dimitri?”

“Truth, I'm way too comfortable to move right now”, he said smirking and nuzzled my neck with his nose.

A shiver ran down my spine and I closed my eyes involuntarily.

“A reason to divorce Rose”, Christian said. “Name one.”

“What?”, I asked. “Why do you want to know that?”

Christian shrugged and nodded towards Dimitri to answer his question.

“If she ever cuts her hair”, Dimitri said.

“What?”, we all shrieked now and looked at Dimitri like he was crazy.

And maybe he was. What kind of reason was that? But Dimitri just shrugged.

“You wanted to know”, he replied. “If Rose cuts her hair short, I'm gone.”

“That's a stupid reason”, Mia said.

“No”, Ivan said, seeming rather thoughtful. “It actually makes sense. When we were younger Dimitri used to -”

“Oh no, come one”, Dimitri interrupted him. “You don't have to tell them that.”

“Shut up!”, Ivan said. “When we were younger Dimitri used to play with his sisters dolls!”

And again we began laughing all over again. Seriously, the bid bad Russian, 6'7'' tall, muscles all over played with his sisters dolls as a kid? No, I couldn't even really picture that, but the thought alone was so damn hilarious!

“He always played with the hair, colored it with his markers or tried different styles on them”, Ivan chuckled.

Dimitri groaned and let his head fall on my shoulder.

“I can't believe you told them”, he mumbled.

“Love you, bro”, Ivan cheered.

“I'm going to get the vodka”, Dimitri announced. “You all need more to drink so you can't remember a thing tomorrow morning!”

Dimitri pulled me up with him, then sat me down on the seat, winked at me, kissed my cheek and went into the kitchen in search of the vodka.

The rest of the afternoon went like that. We talked about embarrassing childhood stories or embarrassing stories in general, about school and whatever came to our minds. Mostly it was around someones sex life or how someone got dumped or not. It was actually pretty ridiculous what the guys already did in their short life's.

We were all wasted and drunk off our asses when the sun went down. Everybody planned on sleeping here, Dimitri only told the guys to keep it in their pants and they actually pouted.

The guys wanted to change Dimitri's mind and Mia wanted to make us all long drinks, so somehow we girls landed in the kitchen again and the boys stayed in the living room.

“Hey Mia”, Jill said. “You have a tip for me?”

“A tip?”, Mia asked.

“For me and Eddie”, Jill mumbled sadly. “I like him, I really like him and I thought he liked me too and that that's why he invited me to come with him today, but he is so damn distant. Whenever I try something he just backs off or changes topics or whatever. I mean, I think he does like me, just not in that way. I think he just doesn't find me attractive you know? What can I do?”

Wow, for a moment we all stood there a little speechless and then Lissa began crying.

“That- That- That i- is s- s- soooo s- sad”, Lissa hiccuped.

Tears streamed down her face and she ran to Jill to hug her close. And to top it all off jill began crying too and crushed Lissa against her.

“I need a drink”, Sydney announced and searched for something to drink.

“Just kiss him”, Mia slurred. “Stick your tongue down his throat oh and grab his ass, he likes that. He doesn't seem like it, but he's more of the rough type.”

“Really?”, I asked.

“You wanna tell me Dimitri is not?”, Mia smirked. “God, what I would give to feel his hands running down my body, massaging my breast.”

Mia moaned and closed her eyes, thinking about it.

“Hey!”, I slapped her arm. “That's my man you're fantasizing about.”

“A hunk of a man”, Mia said, her voice full of jealousy. “God, I'm jealous! Hell I haven't had sex in ages and you have this fine piece of meat at your service 24/7!”

Dimitri

“Come on, dude, please!”, Ivan whined and kept pulling on my sleeve.

“Ivan, stop it!”, I answered frustrated. “I won't allow you to bang Mia somewhere in my apartment while I'm laying a few feet away!”

“So what?”, Adrian asked. “Bang Rose and we're all good!”

“Guys, no!”, I roared.

“What?”, Eddie scoffed. “You can't fuck her while we're around?”

It was hard to understand him, harder than Ivan. Ivan was Russian, like me, we could drink a hell of a lot before we got really drunk. Christian, Adrian and Eddie on the other hand … So Eddie slurred a lot and tumbled around the couch.

“I could, I just don't want to. I don't want to think tomorrow where you all have fucked or not. I don't need to know and I don't want to know, so no, you have to keep your dicks in your pants, got it?”

“I th- think”, Christian chuckled. “You're just afraid you c- can't perform for R- Rosie. Too much pr- pressure ya' know?”

The other boys 'ahhhd' and nodded along.

“That's not it!”, I growled. “So could you shut the hell up!”

“Prove it”, Adrian smirked. “Go to her and kiss her in front all of our e- eyes.”

“I don't need to prove anything to you”, I scoffed.

“Dude, you have to kiss her!”, Ivan said. “Like right now.”

“Shut up, Ivan. I don't need to prove anything to Adrian or you. This is my apartment, you're under my roof with my rules!”

“Do it or we will destroy this apartment”, Eddie replied nonchalant.

“You wouldn't dare”, I scoffed.

They were too drunk to even move, so how could they do anything to this apartment?

“Oh?”, Eddie asked and kicked a vase with flowers from the table, he could barely reach, but managed with a lot of effort.

It shattered on the floor and thousand pieces of glass lay on the ground. The girls rushed – tumbled - from the kitchen into the room and Mia actually fell flat on her face, which let Adrian laugh uncontrollably and fall of the couch.

“So Dimitri?”, Christian asked grinning. “Can't keep it up?”

And then the boys fell into a fit of giggles.

“Screw this”, I growled and went over to Rose.

This was our first kiss I realized – but only after my lips finally met hers – and God is was way better than in my imagination! Maybe I would have liked it to be under other circumstances, but I was so drunk my thoughts were all a blur. I was happy I could remember so much from this night to the kiss. After the kiss … was blackness.

-o-o-o- Thrown Into His World -o-o-o-

Beep Beep Beep

God, no, I thought. Monday morning, which meant I had to get up to go to school. My head hurt like hell and I felt a throbbing at the back of my head that told me I drank way too much last night. I tried to open my eyes, but there was blinding light that stopped me from doing that. When I tried to roll over I noticed a weight on top of me. I honestly didn't care who lay on top of me, as long as it wasn't Ivan or of the guys. All I cared about in that moment was how I could get some aspirin for my head!

The weight on top of me stirred slightly, but didn't wake up. My hands were on whoever's back. My hands began a search of their own. I felt along the body on top of me - definitely female, Thank God – and noticed the long silky locks. And then I remembered bricks and pieces from my life. And the most important and best part of it: Roza, my wife! And then I remembered last night, well the first part at least. What the hell had happened after the broken vase?

And then Rose suddenly woke up. For a moment her arms tightened around my neck and then she sighed in contentment. Rose – like me – groaned because of her hangover and I couldn't help but chuckle.

“Stop it, your making my headache worse”,Rose mumbled.

“Sorry”, I whispered, not wanting to be too loud.

“S' okay”, she mumbled and nuzzled more into my chest.

After a few seconds she realized the position we were in and let's call him my 'morning friend' and rose bolted upright.

“Oh my gosh!”, she screeched upright.

I closed my eyes because of her loud screeching.

“Damn Rose, not so loud”, I mumbled.

And when I opened my eyes again to see her straddling me, I noticed a very important thing I couldn't keep my eyes off and stared openly at: Rose's very naked breasts.
