Page 18 of Dimitri

Dimitri’s touch disappeared, and moments later, I felt the blanket being pulled up my body. His hand briefly touched my shoulder before it was gone once more. Realizing I had closed my eyes, I opened them and watched as he slowly and silently left the bedroom. There was so much more that I wanted to discuss with him. I wanted to know everything I could about the gorgeous dragon, but it truly would have to wait. Unable to fight it any longer, I closed my eyes and let my body finally get the rest it so desperately needed.

When I woke next, it was because I was incredibly hot. There was a very hard and immensely warm wall of sexy dragon curled up behind me. That was something entirely new but most definitely not unwelcome. I wasn’t sure if he was a light sleeper, if his dragon told him I was awake, or if it merely was who he was and made him an excellent enforcer, but Dimitri seemed to know the moment I was awake, and the arm that I realized was lying across my stomach suddenly tightened and pulled me even closer to his chest.

He rambled off something in what I was certain was Russian, but I didn’t speak even a single word of the language and started to laugh. “I’m sure that whatever you are saying is incredibly important, but you will have to repeat yourself in English, please,” I told him.

“Apologies. I was simply saying good morning to you.”

I was no language expert, but it sure seemed as if he had said more than only good morning. But Dimitri had no reason not to tell the truth, and I was sure he’d said that, among other things. I certainly needed to get on a fast track to learning his native languages.

“It indeed is.” I rolled onto my back and then toward Dimitri and smiled. “Although I am not confident just how morning it is.”

“Morning for you, middle of the night for us. But I am positive we can find something to entertain us while the rest of the mountain wakes up.” Dimitri reached up, and when his hand touched the side of my face, I thought for sure I was finally going to get a taste of his very enticing lips. Sadly, he simply smiled at me and then rolled away. “Get up. Come. I have an idea, and we can see the sunrise together.”

I was trying to understand what he was saying, but my brain absolutely was not computing. No, it was focused on the very magnificent ass that I was staring at. When I made no move to get out of bed, Dimitri turned, and my mouth opened in awe. Because I had been staring at the man’s rock-hard ass, my eyes were now focused on the gorgeous cock that I was certain would never fit into my mouth but I wanted nothing more than to try in that very moment.

“Is something wrong?”

It took me entirely too long to realize he was asking me a question.

“What? No. Umm, I should probably… Yeah, I should get dressed. Is there a bathroom I can use?” It was going to take some time to get used to the fact that I had a shifter for a One. They did not have nearly the same views about being naked. In fact, I’d just realized that Dimitri would be getting naked in front of others in order to shift. The sudden surge of jealousy was absolutely new and unexpected. I knew it was illogical and that it couldn’t be helped. That did not make me feel any more comfortable with the idea that my One undressed in front of others frequently.

“You are welcome to use this bathroom,” Dimitri said as he pointed to the bathroom that I knew was behind him. I was alsoaware that there was another full bathroom in the hallway, as well as a half one downstairs. This place had a very similar floor plan to the place Sebastian used to be in.

“I wouldn’t dream of taking your bathroom. Is it all right if I use the one in the hallway?” I was already partway to the door, simply waiting for him to say that it was all right.

“Yes, of course. Although, I do not have anything you would need in there. Perhaps some toilet paper, but beyond that, it is empty.”

“That isn’t an issue for me.” I was doing my best to not look down when I really wanted to take another long look at that magnificent cock. I had never considered myself to be someone who was focused on size before, but I couldn’t help but consider it now that…well, my One was an alpha, and he obviously had an alpha’s cock.

“I do not mind if you use the hallway bathroom. But you are more than welcome to use mine. It will have everything you could need.”

I nodded. I was certain it did. But right now, I really needed to get away for a moment or two. I’d had at least eight hours of sleep last night, it would seem, much more than I’d had over the past several days all combined. Now that my mind was clear and able to focus, all I could think about was getting naked with Dimitri and seeing where things went.

I didn’t wait for further instruction; I simply fled the bedroom. I quickly realized that his house seemed to be a mirrored version of what Sebastian’s floor plan used to be. The bathroom I was looking for was on the right instead of the left. No matter, I was able to find it just the same, and once inside, I quietly closed the door behind me, then leaned against it and closed my eyes. That man…oh my fates. He was absolutely gorgeous. I wasn’t a young omega, and I needed to rememberthat and get my act together. Dimitri was all mine, yet here I was in the hall bathroom, hiding.

I sighed before I pushed away from the door. I found the light switch on the wall, and with a simple flick of my finger, the bathroom was illuminated. I closed my eyes at the harshness of the sudden brightness before I used magic to dim the level of lumens in the room. That was much more pleasant. A glance at myself in the mirror had me wishing I’d not. My hair looked as if I’d gone to bed with it wet, and I’d not brushed it for a week. I wanted to moan about first impressions but had to remind myself that I’d already had my first impression of my One, and I had, in fact, spent the night with the sexy dragon.

Granted, I’d not done more than eat half of a fajita and then pass out on the man, but he’d joined me in his bed, and we’d woken up with him lying right behind me in the bed. That meant something. I shook my head. It meant that he was my One, I was his mate, and his dragon told him he would sleep next to me, period. That and the fact that I was in the man’s bed. His only bed.

I shook my head at my rambling thoughts before I flicked my wrist toward the shower. I needed at least a quick one, and yes, I could shower with magic, but I wanted to actually stand under the spray of hot water.

I stepped into the shower, immediately closing my eyes and sighing at the feeling of the hot water raining down on me. I gave myself a few minutes to relax under the spray before I went through the motions of showering. My bladder was telling me that I’d forgotten to empty it before I climbed in, and although it was most likely possible that I could aim for the toilet from the side of the shower, I wasn’t going to take chances. I simply finished with my shower before I stepped out and reached for a towel.

Dimitri hadn’t been kidding when he said there was nothing in this bathroom. That didn’t bother me in the slightest though. Just a bit more magic and I had everything I needed, right down to the toothbrush and toothpaste. But bladder before I cleaned my teeth.

I dried just enough to get myself to the toilet and then sighed again as I was finally able to let go and relieve myself. I used magic once more to dry myself completely and then dress in a warm outfit. Dimitri had mentioned watching the sunrise, and that meant outside, which would undoubtedly be cold. It was November in Montana, and yesterday afternoon, even when the sun was out, it was cold, so I could only imagine how chilly it would be before the sun actually rose and provided at least a bit of heat.

I quickly brushed my teeth and then cleaned and organized everything with a thought before I turned and pulled the door open. I wasn’t expecting to encounter my One standing across the hallway, leaning against it in the dark.

“Is something wrong?” I asked, repeating Dimitri’s earlier words.

“No. Would you like to go flying with me?” he asked.

Flying? Flying as in… “Do you mean on your dragon?” I asked.

“Ja. I would very much like to take you flying and show you not only the mountain but the sunrise. There is no better way to see the sunrise except from the air. My dragon wants to meet you. Will you trust me to take care of you? I would never allow any harm to come to you.”

I nodded. I knew what type of gift he was offering. The only time I’d ever seen dragons in their shifted form was when Lorenzo and I had been visiting Sebastian here on Treasure Ridge. We’d been out for a walk and had stumbled uponthe waterfall. There, we saw an enormous black dragon flying around with a breathtaking golden dragon.
