Moving Objects

Chapter 17

"Ok. Let me know when you're on your way by."

He nodded and turned to go after Lissa, turning to glance at me one more time before going into the house.

I spent the rest of my day doing a whole lot of nothing. I was even bored enough that I did all of my laundry and reorganized my dresser. To my surprise, I found some things I had forgotten about. Which brought me to standing in my bathroom in the green bra and pantie set that I bought months ago.

I wasn't sure why I was nervous. I mean, the man had seen me naked before, but this was the first time I ever wore lingerie with purpose. Hell, I forgot I even bought these until tonight. I looked at the time on my phone and fluffed my hair before shrugging on the silk robe and tying it loosely at my waist, repositioning the gap to give an appealing visual before frowning and tugging the tie open.

"He has seen you naked before, Rose. Cool it," I say to myself as I blow air between my lips. The idea of chickening out and putting on sweats when my front door opened.

"Rose?"

I looked at my reflection in the mirror again, "Showtime."

I listened to Dimitri walk further into the house and I heard his keys hit the coffee table before he called out to me again. I opened the bathroom door and leaned against it with my arm straight against the frame, jutting my hip out and cross one ankle over the other.

Dimitri turned around while looking down at his phone. "If you want we can sign out a car and go into the next town to get some dinner," he says as he looks up, his voice trailing off as his eyes laid on me. Well, his reaction was totally worth it. His eyes went wide and then I watched lust creep in as I trailed a hand over my hip.

"Oh, I'm one hundred percent up for food! Give me a minute and I'll get changed," I said, jerking my thumb towards my bedroom with a sly smirk, taking a step towards it. Dimitri coughed and walked up to me, slipping his arms around my waist and backed me into the door frame.

"I think food could wait," he said huskily, dipping his head down to kiss my neck. I giggled and pushed against him. "But you brought up food! Now I'm hungry!" I whined playfully. Dimitri pulled away and cocked a brow at me, making me laugh harder.

"How's this sound. I'll keep these on underneath, and I'll be your dessert later," I said huskily, trailing my fingers up his chest. Dimitri didn't seem completely convinced but he knew better than to stand between me and food, so he pulled back a little bit.

I chased him a little bit and stretch up on my toes, brushing my lips against his. "I promise I'll make it worth your while," I said in a sing-song voice. Dimitri chuckled and gave me a kiss before pulling me with him towards the bedroom. I giggled a little bit more as we stumbled in and I finally pulled away to throw on a pair of leggings and a light sweater.

Dimitri locked the door behind us and slipped his hand into mine, pulling me close to him. I sighed happily and wrapped my arm around the arm holding my hand, feeling content. I was already daydreaming about having some alone time with Dimitri because we really haven't been able to since the trip to Bora Bora.

"What did you get up to today," Dimitri asked as we walked down the hallway. I shrugged and explained the extraordinarily small amount of things I did during the day. I failed to mention that I went and had my head looked at after I left him and Lissa at her place but assured him that I didn't have a concussion and that I was fine. Looking up I found that he had a fond smile on his face as he listened to me and I returned his smile with my own.

"Oh. Hello."

Dimitri and I both look away to find Tasha standing at the end of the hallway, her jacket slung over her arm and keys in her hand.
