Never feeling like they belonged was a feeling that Lissa Dragomir lived with, even with her family and life long best friend, although they aided in that feeling not being so strong...

Dimitri woke up alone, the side of the bed that Kate had claimed was cold, even if the covers had been pulled up to preserve the heat. His hand pats the bed, under the covers, trying to feel for her, before he lifts his head and looks at her side of the bed, to find her empty.
The setting sun was shining through the window filling the room with a coldness as it slowly disappeared. The sound of the crackling fireplace was also extinct, but the room was warm.
Dimitri doesn't know when it went out, he doesn't remember if it was before or after they fell asleep. He remembers falling asleep with her on his chest, still tastes her skin and her wetness lingering on his tongue. He licks his lips as he pushes himself to sit against the headboard, running a hand through his hand, remembering how it felt to have her tug on his hair as he ate her out.
The sound of water splashing reaches his ears, muffled, and his dark brown eyes fly in the direction of the bathroom door, only to find it closed. He knows that Kate is inside, hears her moving in the bath.
It takes him a few tries to actually get out of the bed, his body aching in a delicious way, the same way it usually does after having sex with Kate, after both of them put their Dhampir strength and flexibility into something productive that doesn't involve killing or training.
His eyes find her in the tub, her head hanging off the side of the tub, with bubbles surrounding her body, looking peaceful and innocent, not as if she'd been crying out his name in pleasure a couple of hours ago.
"You're staring." Kate tells him without even opening his eyes.
"You left me alone in bed." Dimitri counters, watching as Kate slides forward, giving him enough space to slide in the tub behind her, which he eagerly did, pulling her back to him, flush against his chest, feeling her relax against him instantly.
"I needed a shower." she replied as she rested her head against his shoulder.
"This is a bath." he smirks at her.
"The rest of the Academy is arriving tonight, and I need to go and get Alec from my aunt." Kate countered, already knowing what Dimitri was planning on doing, before she felt his hand trail between her legs and touch her.
"There's still time, besides we don't know when the next time we can go at it like rabbits without Alec around." Dimitri breathed again her ear as he sank his fingers into her, making her arch her chest and cry out in pleasure lowly.
"Dimka....." she moaned as he pumped his curled fingers, creating tiny waves in the water.
Dimitri leaned his head down to kiss and nip her already bruised skin. "I'm sorry." he breathed against her neck.
