Moving Objects

Chapter 28

When we finally got back to the house I dropped my bag onto our bed and bolted for the shower, wanting to destress a bit before diving headfirst into homework with Lissa.

"We've been invited to a party next weekend," I called out to Dimitri. I wasn't sure if he heard me over the shower, but the curtain was pulled back a bit.

"A party?"

"Mmmhmm. A Halloween party," I said as I tipped my head back to rinse out the suds. The skin on my chest puckered due to the curtain being open and I looked at him.

"What?"

"I don't have a costume," he said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. I smirked at him before turning to face him.

"Don't worry about that. I have you covered."

"You're joking, right?" Dimitri asked with a slight chuckle. I grinned in the mirror as I adjusted my hat before applying my lipstick.

"No. I spent a bit of time looking for these. I knew Lissa was going to want to do something for Halloween, so I planned ahead," I explained, rubbing the pigment into my lips.

"Roza, where did you get the money to buy these? These are real boots," Dimitri asked, pointing to the cowboy boots that rested against the dresser. I wagged my brows at him as I bent over to put on my own boots, and I heard his muted groan and his hands settled on my hips.

"As much as I love this, did you have to buy one so short? I'm going to spend all night beating horny college boys away with a stick," Dimitri whined, squeezing my hips firmly.

"You could beat me with your stick," I chirped, laughing to the floor because of the noise he made. I stood up and spun in his hands, placing my hands on his chest.

"There are many things you can do with that stick," I whispered sultry, leaning in and pressing my lips to his neck.

"God, my ears are going to bleed after hearing that!"

We pulled away to find Eddie standing in the doorway dressed in a black cape, black eye mask, and a short black sombrero. I snickered and leaned into Dimitri.

"What the hell are you dressed as?"

Eddie looked insulted and flicked his cap back dramatically. "I'm Zorro. What are you? A sluty cowgirl?"

I shrugged and rolled my eyes. "No. I am not sluty. It's flirty. Who the fuck is Zorro?"

"Easy you two. We have a party to get ready for," Dimitri said, squeezing my hips gently. I sighed and pulled away from Dimitri, closing the door between Eddie and me, sticking my tongue out at him as I did. I chuckled and flopped down on our bed and eyeballed Dimitri as he changed his clothes, practically drooling over his chiselled abs as he pulled on a pair of jeans.

"If you keep looking at me like that, we're going to have a problem," Dimitri said as he buttoned his pants. I giggled and sat up, pouting at him playfully before making my way over to him. Dimitri raised his brow at me as I ran my fingers over his stomach and scrunched my nose at him.

"I don't think it would really be a problem," I joked. Dimitri rolled his eyes and dipped his head down, kissing the tip of my nose before pulling away and shrugging on his shirt. I smirked and picked up the bandana I bought that matched my shirt and tied it around his neck. Dimitri finished his outfit off by pulling on boots, duster, and Stenson.

I headed into the living room and found the rest of our team, the rest of them in regular clothes bar Eddie. I shook my head at Eddie and grabbed my water bottle off the coffee table, taking a swig while leaning over Eddie's shoulder. Jensen was going over the lay out of the sorority house the party was being held in when Christian and Lissa entered the room. I looked up and snickered, covering my mouth in case I spit my water out. I would expect Lissa to pick out a girly costume, but it looks like Christian took the lead.
