The way that it should have been

Chapter 16

"Huh, you know I never even thought about it like that. But now that you mention it, it is definitely degrading and demeaning."

"Yes, it is. And I am sorry she tried to do that to you baby."

"Thank you but you have nothing to be sorry for, it wasn't you're doing. And I know that you would never use me like that."

She leaned over and kissed my neck. "Thank you."

"You're very welcome lyubov' moya." (my love)

"How much longer until we get there?"

"About two hours."

"Ok, I am going to check in on Lissa."

"Ok, but please be careful. I love you and I don't ever want to lose you. You are my world, my everything Roza moya." (my)

"I love you too and I don't want to lose you either. Not ever. You are everything to me too Comrade."

After kissing my neck right below my ear again, which made me shiver, just as she knew that it would. She leaned back in her seat with a happy and contented smile on her face and closed her eyes. Her hand once again in its proper home of late, my upper thigh. In such a short amount of time I had already become accustomed to, accepting of and expectant of her hand being right there at all times.

My woman is amazing, not to mention the fact that she is the sexiest and most beautiful woman who has ever or will ever live. And I just could not wait to begin the rest of our lives together once we get back to the academy. And even more so after graduation.

Now that I thought about what she said and what Tasha tried to do. I just can't believe that not only did she try to do that to me, but that I hadn't seen it to begin with.

Maybe I hadn't thought of it that way because I have known her for so long. I suppose that it is possible that she didn't really mean it that way, but I don't know. But I knew that there was one thing in this world that I would never have to worry about. And that was Roza moya doing or trying to do something like that to me. She loves me just as much as I love her, and I knew that neither of us would ever do something like that to each other. (my)

With my hand laying gently, possessively, protectively and lovingly on Dimitri's upper thigh I concentrated on slipping into Lissa's mind.

*BOND VISION*

"Hey Lissa, have you seen Rose?" Mason asked my best friend and little sister.

"No, I thought that she was on the plane with you guys?"

"No, I haven't seen her since before her afternoon training with Guardian Belikov yesterday."

"Huh, well that's odd because I haven't seen her since yesterday either. Is there anyone else that is missing?"

"Uhhh, yeah come to think of it, I haven't seen Guardian Belikov since yesterday either."

"What was that about my Dimka?"

Dimitri's name caught the bitch's attention, just as she was about to walk by my friends. I hated her using that fucking nickname for MY man. It made my skin crawl and my stomach churn in rage, hatred and jealousy.

Although I had to admit that now that I know for SURE that he loves ME, that he has chosen to be with ME. There is a lot less jealousy there than there used to be. But that still didn't mean that I liked Tasha any more now than I did in the past. Because I didn't have to have known her for long or very well to know what type of woman she is. Especially where Dimitri is concerned. She will do whatever it takes, to whomever it takes to get her claws into him.
