That afternoon was pure bliss. I didn't think I could feel that anymore, but I was wrong. Dimitri made me feel that way. He made me feel loved. Although I was a long way from letting go of what happened, I would no longer hide who I was. Because that was the person that Dimitri loved. He didn't love me despite my violent nature; he loved me because of it.
                          
"Maybe we should go away for a little while."
                          
I looked up at Dimitri. I had been so relaxed lying in his arms, his fingers running through my hair, it took me a while to come down from my happy place.
                          
"and go where?"
                          
He smiled a brilliant smile.
                          
"Sight seeing. I would love to show you Russia. Maybe we could go to St. Petersburg."
                          
"What about Adrian?"
                          
"He can't come. The things I plan to do to you do not require any witnesses."
                          
He pulled me closer and seductively started to suck on my neck and my earlobe. Making his intentions very clear. But Adrian was still his charge. Sensing my apprehension Dimitri elaborated.
                          
"Adrian can stay here. I know he wants to let Lissa know we are here and about Oksana, maybe she can come while we are away and you can decide if you want to see her after."
                          
So that was what him stroking me was about. He was distracting me hoping I would give in and let Lissa come here. But he was right. Lissa deserved to meet other spirit users and who was I to deny her that. Maybe if we went away I wouldn't need to see her. 
                          
"Okay."
                          
I could feel him smirk against my neck. I was about to tell him off when he moved his hands under the sheets and I couldn't speak anymore. Instead a moan escaped me. His smirk widened. Bastard.
                          
The door flung open and I expected another angry sister. Instead we were met with a big smiling Adrian. Dimitri quickly covered us to hide any of our good parts but I could tell from Adrian's smile and from Dimitri's darkened expression he hadn't been fast enough.
                          
"Well, well, well, finally broke through huh. Rose, I see your colors are back to normal."
                          
He gave me a once over, obviously checking my aura. I imagine I had bright colors. It had been a while since I had been this happy, this light, even before I was turned. I do know that he wouldn't be able to see the blank rim around my aura anymore. I guess I had come out stronger and better.
                          
But as much as I appreciated Adrian and all he had done for us, I needed him gone. It was my turn to kick somebody out.
                          
I moved myself on Dimitri's lap, my back towards Adrian, my very naked back.  I bent over so I could suck on Dimitri's earlobe like he had done to me before. I knew that drove Dimitri crazy and as if on command a certain part of him came to attention. I smiled. Still with my back turned I made sure Adrian knew he wasn't welcome here.
                          
"Adrian, dear, GET. OUT."
                          
As I continued my way down from Dimitri's ear all the way to his chest stomach and the V located on his hips, Adrian walked out laughing.
                          
"Good to have you back Rose."
                          
I simply waved at him without looking at him and continued my way down. Only inches above my price I stopped. I got up from him and wrapped the sheet around me. I saw confusion and desperation on his face.
                          
"Actually I am really dirty. I think I'll take a shower."
                          
I seductively walked to the adjacent bathroom and walked around the corner. I lifted the sheet from my body and held it up for Dimitri to see. I then dropped it and started the shower. Dimitri groaned in frustration, but realized my intention. It didn't take Dimitri long before he joined me.
