Cruel Circumstances (A Vampire Academy fanfiction)

Chapter 3

Tasha refused to drop it all lunch, but Dimitri and I agreed she wasn't getting into our daughter's 'history' room. Once Agniya went down for her nap Tasha left. Dimitri, however, stayed.

"For now, if you'll all let me, I'd like to stay here. Lissa? Christian? Roza?" he asked while looking at us in turn.

"Yes," Liss agreed. "Agniya would like that and we have the room."

"Fine by me!" Christian laughed heartily.

"Roza?" Dimitri turned to me with pleading, hope and the tiniest bit of fear on his face.

"Come here you loveable fool. You can sleep with me Comrade."

"Really Roza?"

"It's not like we haven't shared a bed before. And you can't fool me; I can still read you like an open book!" I smiled and kissed him, really kissed him and it was like coming home.

"You've got a room. Use it!" Christian commented.

"Comrade?" I turned on my heels and seductively motioned for him him to follow, my eyes filled with love, lust, and longing. His eyes reflected mine and he followed.

I'd forgotten how good skin-on-skin contact with him felt. I revelled in reliving the cabin. But it meant so, so much more this time. This time it wasn't marred by coming out of the darkness. It wasn't a stolen moment no one could know about. We weren't restricted by age or student and teacher roles. It was us. It was bliss. It was unladen by baggage or secrecy. It was perfection.

"Roza," Dimitri sighed contentedly, his limbs still entangled with mine.

"I love you Dimitri. So much."

"I love you too. You're amazing. Even more painfully beautiful than ever. Agniya has done wonders to you."

"She'll do it to you too. She's already got you wrapped around her little finger," I teased.

"She has got me wrapped. Although, it's hard to avoid when she's her mother's daughter," he smiled and kissed my forehead.

"She is not! She's her daddy's little angel," I retorted.

"As if!"

"Is too!" I pouted and he cracked up laughing.

"If you say so."

"I hate to say this Comrade, but we're gonna have to get dressed."

"Our daughter awaits, right ?"

"Yep." We dressed and prepared to have a 'Belikov' family dinner at one of Court's restaurants.
