Rose's POV:

I couldn't stifle the moan as his finger brought me an intensity of arousal I'd never experienced before. Even when I had sex before, no one had ever taken the time to stimulate me in such a way. No one had ever made me feel like this...

As I walked out of his bedroom, I ran my hand across my kiss-bruised lips. I wouldn't cry, but a part of me really wanted to. Another part of me was having a hard time letting go of the idea that I wanted more.

I had told the girls just before I went upstairs that they could continue the game without me for a little while and that I might be a while, thinking that I really had no idea how or if I was going to pull off the dare Vika had asked. Now, I had another reason to stay upstairs.

I looked at the clock and it was just after twelve thirty. I had only been upstairs a few minutes. I went into the spare bedroom and turned on the light, closing the door enough that you couldn't see me from the stairs but not enough to completely close it and make it audible. I laid down on the bed, thinking of Dimitri and the way he had touched me.

I slid my panties off and pulled my t-shirt off, exposing my body to the cool nighttime air of the room, then let my hands roam over my body, starting where Dimitri had started, imagining that they were Dimitri's hands and trying to duplicate just how he had touched me. He didn't paw the way others had before him, but he didn't handle me with kid gloves, either. The feel of his hands on my body was nothing less than perfect, touching in just the right places in just the right way, firm yet so gentle, knowing just how to elicit pleasure in the right way. I couldn't get things exactly the way he touched, but it felt good. Better than I had ever felt before him.

I spread my legs and ventured lower. When my fingers found the intimate spot where he had touched me last, I moaned in pleasure again, but I tried to keep my voice quiet enough that I wouldn't have unwanted company. I swirled my finger against the little nub there, as he had done. I couldn't help but feel that he was there, his fingers touching me. Mindlessly, so lost in the idea of Dimitri touching me, and just wanting to feel his name on my lips, I moaned out his name as I caressed myself, though trying to keep quiet enough that the girls downstairs wouldn't hear me.

I felt something building within me - something I had never experienced before. The motions of my hands became more jerky and fast as I fought to continue. I gasped and whimpered as it became more and more intense. I clenched my eyes shut and called out his name, caught up in the feeling, as I found my release, still not loud enough to be heard downstairs, but loud enough that I was probably in danger of Dimitri thinking I was calling him from the next room. I rode the wave of pleasure with my eyes closed for almost a minute, letting my fingers continue to stimulate and draw out the experience.

As the wave of pleasure subsided, I looked up at the doorway and saw Dimitri standing in the hallway, looking at me from just beyond the foot of the bed Oh, God. He did hear me.

He turned and walked away. This was bad.

Dimitri's POV:

"Rose, what the hell are you doing in my bed?"
"Dimitri, I'm sorry. I just ..." There was no way she could finish that that would make any of this okay.
What was I doing? What was I thinking? How did I let this happen? "Go away, Rose."
"But, Dimitri - " I can't believe I did this to her. I had to get rid of her now.
"No, Rose. Just go."

When Rose turned away, I saw sadness in her eyes. I almost had the sense that she might cry. I couldn't be that guy that broke her. I had done this to her, while she was drunk, without her permission. It wasn't right and I had to make it right. She was one of the last people that I wanted to hurt.

I took a minute to collect myself and let my arousal from what had happened in my bed calm down, then got up out of bed and went to the hallway. I started to go down the stairs when I noticed that Karolina's bedroom light was on and the door was ajar. I heard a gentle whimpering sound coming from the room. It was Rose's voice. I would go to the room to talk with her, apologize, and comfort her I pushed the door open further, but what I saw when I opened the door nearly made me gasp out loud. There, lying on the bed, feet towards me, was Rose, completely unclothed and legs spread wide. Her body was easily the most beautiful sight I had ever seen and I had trouble not moving to her side. Her eyes were closed, so she clearly hadn't seen me. Her hands were doing things I had often wished I could do to her. Maybe I could go in and help her? Shit! Femoral artery ... plantar fascia ... iliacus ... psoas major .. She's so wet that I can see it ... Why aren't I looking away?

Thinking of that wetness, I realized I still had her on my fingers. I brought those fingers up to my face. She smelled so good. I bet she would love it if I were to lick her ... I licked those fingers, watching her. Okay, my body is definitely not calmed down anymore.

She moaned a word that almost sounded like 'Dimitri'. Did she really just say my name? I'm still not looking away... Looking at her, the medical terms for the human body that came out began to take a different turn. Areola ... vulva ... clitoris ... that's not helping at all.

Her movements were turning frantic. I knew I needed to leave, especially if her finish was coming soon, but I didn't want to tear myself from that spot. Her moans were becoming alarmingly loud, spurring the bulge in my pants even more. From desire or pleasure, Rose's whole body began to quake. I had to leave. I started to turn away.

"Dimitri!" she called out, as if to summon me to her. She must've seen me. I turned to see her squeezing her eyes shut, still in the throes of her pleasure. Her breathing was more ragged than my own as she moaned and sighed. There was no doubt this time that she had called my name. Just thinking of it made me begin to leak. I couldn't let myself think that way, though. There could be a hundred other guys - closer to her age - named Dimitri out there that she knew.

She opened her eyes and looked at the doorway. I was praying and hoping that it was dark enough in the hallway that she couldn't see me from inside the room, but regardless, no good could come from her having known that I was watching her. She probably already thought I was a filthy pervert with no self-control. I had to leave quickly. I could apologize tomorrow.

Rose's POV:

After Dimitri walked away, I laid there in the bed for another few moments, mostly in shock. Then I remembered that all of the other girls were downstairs for my birthday party, and that I was laying naked on someone else's bed. I quickly got up and put my clothes back on, then came back downstairs.

When I got downstairs, Mia was trying to drink water from a glass while doing a handstand.

"Did you do it, Rose?" Viktoria asked when she saw me.

"I don't want to talk about it," I said. I don't know exactly what kind of look I must've given them, but it was severe enough that everyone immediately dropped the subject.

Mia said, "Rose, Truth or Dare?"

"If I take the Truth, do you all promise it won't be about what happened upstairs a few minutes ago?" I asked, "I think I better stick to truths after that last one."

"Pinky swear," said Mia, holding out her pinky finger. The others all mumbled an agreement or nodded.

"Truth."

"Have you ever had sex," she asked, "and if so when and with who?"

I smirked at her. "That's three questions."

"Fine, then just answer the first one," Mia said, "Have you ever had sex?"

"Yes. Lissa, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," Lissa said.

"Have you seen Christian naked?"

Lissa scowled at me and took the drink. This was her sixth drink and she is a size three. That's a 'yes'. "Rose, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," I replied.

Lissa asked, "When did you have sex?"

"The day before he moved away, two years ago. It was a one-time thing."

"Mason Ashford?" Lissa asked.

"Yes. Sydney, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," she said, "I don't think I can handle another dare."

"You guys are no fun!" I said, "Someone should do dares besides Mia and me! Describe your first kiss."

"Oh, it was awful! I had just argued with him. I had no idea he was going to kiss me and it just felt like nothing when he did."

"Rose," she said, "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth, again," I said.

"How many times have you ever had an orgasm?" she asked.

"Just once," I replied.

"Mason?" Lissa asked. I shook my head.

"Mia, for fuck's sake, take the damn dare," I said.

"Dare, bi-otch!" Mia said.

"Spend the next three turns standing on your head," I said. Mia walked over to the wall and flipped over.

"Just for that," Mia said, "Rose, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Who gave you your one orgasm?"

I seriously considered taking the drink on this one. "I did. Moving on! Vika, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare."

"Turn your pajamas inside out and backwards for the rest of the night."

Vika got up and turned her clothes inside out and backwards, putting them back on. "There," she said, "Rose, Truth or Dare?"

"Seriously? Me again? Is no one else here playing?" They all looked at me and shrugged. "Fine, truth."

"Are you in love with my brother?" she asked.

"Oh. My. Fucking. God. You did not just ask me that!" I said, trying not to scream it at her.

"Well, are you?" Vika persisted.

I took a moment. Was I? Viktoria tapped her fingers on the table. "Hold on, I'm thinking!" I said.

"You wouldn't have to think so hard about it if you knew that you didn't," she said.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "I kind of think I am in love with him."

Dimitri's POV:

I took a minute - it only took a minute thinking of what I had just seen - to quickly rid myself of my painful erection in the bathroom, then went to the hallway to head back to bed. I felt shameful that I had to think of her dealing with something like that, but better to deal with it thinking of her alone than deal with it with her. I could hear the girls downstairs still playing Truth or Dare. Against all of my better judgment, I listened again.

"... the first one. Have you ever had sex?" asked one of the girls. I really didn't want to hear the answer if she was asking Vika.

"Yes," came Rose's beautiful voice. I was surprised that she wasn't a virgin. I wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. Rose continued, saying, "Lissa, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," said another voice. I could only assume it was Lissa.

"Have you seen Christian naked?" Rose asked.

No answer came and then I heard the girl say, "Rose, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," Rose replied.

"When did you have sex?"

Rose answered,"The day before he moved away, two years ago. It was a one-time thing."

"Mason Ashford?" the other voice asked.

"Yes. Sydney, Truth or Dare?" Rose asked. I was starting to feel grateful that none of the questions were directed at Viktoria. I'm not sure I'd want to know the answers.

"Truth. I don't think I can handle another dare."

"You guys are no fun! Someone should do dares besides Mia and me! Describe your first kiss," Rose said.

"Oh, it was awful! I had just argued with him. I had no idea he was going to kiss me and it just felt like nothing when he did."

"Rose, Truth or Dare?" the girl asked.

Rose said, "Truth, again." I was surprised that Rose wouldn't have chosen a dare. That seemed more fitting to her personality.

"How many times have you ever had an orgasm?" she asked Rose. I waited with baited breath.

"Just once," Rose replied. So, either she was lying, or I just witnessed it.

"Mason?" Asked a voice.

Rose then said, "Mia, for fuck's sake, take the damn dare."

Another voice replied, "Dare, bi-otch!" That must've been Mia.

"Spend the next three turns standing on your head," Rose is devious

"Just for that," the girl said, "Rose, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth," Rose answered.

"Who gave you your one orgasm?"

Rose replied rather tersely, "I did." So, the only time she ever came was tonight, here in this house, after I kissed her and touched her. Calling out 'Dimitri'. "Moving on! Vika, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare." Oh, thank God she didn't say 'Truth'!

"Turn your pajamas inside out and backwards for the rest of the night, until you get dressed in the morning," Rose instructed.

A few moments passed. Then, Viktoria said, "There. Rose, Truth or Dare?"

"Seriously? Me again? Is no one else here playing?" I felt guilty about it, but I was glad. Her answers were why I was standing there at the top of the stairs. "Fine, truth," Rose said.

"Are you in love with my brother?" Vika asked. The question caught me off guard. Why would Viktoria even think to ask such a question?

"Oh. My. Fucking. God. You did not just ask me that!" Rose said in an aggravated tone, raising her voice slightly. Obviously not happy that question would even come up.

"Well, are you?" Vika asked again.

It was quiet. Was she taking the drink now? Had she simply answered with a shake of the head? "Hold on, I'm thinking!" she replied.

Viktoria said, "You wouldn't have to think so hard about it if you knew that you didn't."

Was Roza really in love with me? "I kind of think I might be - just a little - in love with him."

And was I in love with her? Or was she just the object of my fantasies, as amazing as those fantasies might have been?
