Welcome readers! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. :D I've been playing around with an idea for a sequel for, Only a Frozen Illusion for awhile now, and I finally got around to planning it. To those who have questioned, yes this will be a much happier story though still having traumatic parts. Without further adieu, I now present In Time.

Disclaim: I don't own any characters, but my own creation.

In Time

I woke up to the sound of a blaring horn and old Western music, and let's just say it wasn't the best morning of my life. I let out a sleepy yawn and stretched my arms above my head and glanced over at the love of my life. Dimitri was driving with a coffee in his hand and his long brown hair pulled it its usual ponytail. He turned to me and smiled getting off whatever freeway we were on.

"Where are we now?" I asked leaning to the back seat to see if Dimitri had left me any goodies. It turns out I was right, there was a whole Dunkin Doughnuts box in the middle of the back seat. Grinning from ear to ear, I picked them up and began eating them one by one.

"Well, we are just getting off an exit and we're currently on Franklin road." He replied in a smart ass tone, so I decided to play along.
"Alright hot shot, you won the morning game only because I'm still half asleep over here." I commented picking up a chocolate doughnut and gestured for him to have one; I would happily share my prize with him. Dimitri only shook his head no and continued driving while I shrugged and continued eating.

"Besides, we all know I could kick your ass from where ever we are to Argentina." I replied with a smirk fixated on my lips while Dimitri flashed one of his rare smiles.

"I wouldn't mind you anywhere near my butt, Rose, but if anyone will be winning the fight, it will be me." He purred as he merged into the left turn lane and continued onto another freeway.

"That's because you had countless number of times to practice in Russia!" I said before even processing my words. I clamped my hands over my mouth just in time to see a pained look spread across Dimitri's face.

"Dimitri I-"

"Just leave it, Rose." He whispered gripping the steering wheel and turning up the music.

I reached my hand out for him, but he just cringed away from any contact. I put my head on the window, and ran my fingers through my long black hair. It's as if we make one tiny step forward, something, that usually being me, causes us to go three steps back. I glanced over at Dimitri who was forever concentrated on the main target ahead. He didn't wear the pained look anymore, just lost in a deep sea of depressing, soul searching thoughts. With no look back to me I shifted my focus on the scenery in front of me and tried to enjoy the rest of the car ride. I sat up as I watched the trees begin to fade from view, and a very pretty town danced in front of my eyes. We pulled into one of the nearby streets and I was in awe with the scenery around me. Coffee shops and shopping places were around every corner each having some sort of neutral color lined with a daring, bold color like neon orange or pink. Streets were filled with expensive looking stone for sidewalks, fancy tables, and every different kind of trees possible. Children laughter was everywhere and everyone wore bright smiles on their faces. This must have put Dimitri in a good mood when I heard him laugh at a young boy who wasn't quite tall enough to reach the four foot mark on a 'how tall are you?' measuring stick.

"Where are we?" I asked for a second time, hoping to get an answer this time.

"This is what Kentucky looks like. Unlike our gloomy Montana weather, this place has nice weather nearly year round. Although they aren't well known for their good taste in colors, it is a wonderful city.

"Kind of like someone I know?" I hinted earning me a gleaming look in his eyes that told me, for now, I was forgiven.

Dimitri turned right and pulled into a very outrageous costly looking hotel. It was several stories high with white shining walls, circle stone walkways to enter, a modern rich looking inside filled with a burgundy and gold color scheme. He opened my door and I climbed out grabbing my suitcase and handing it off to the man in front of me. He smiled and took our luggage without saying any words when another worker appeared in front of us. I gave Dimitri a cautious and stern looking signaling to tell me what the hell was going on. He just shrugged it off unconcerned of my feelings, and handed the car over to the worker. I followed Dimitri to the check in desk feeling more and more pissed off as the time went on. I pouted leaning my hand on my cheek pretending to look bored when really, I was curious as a cat to figure out what was going on.

"What are the reservations under, sir?" The clerk asked and Dimitri gave him a piece of paper.

"It's under Dragomir and reservations for two." Dimitri replied and I looked up at him shocked by his answer. The man gave us our good to go speech and we were able to head to our room where our luggage awaited.

"Why in the hell are we here and how long will we be here?" I hissed once we had stop going up elevators and reached our room.

"Lissa's orders for us to have a good time she wanted to surprise you, and here for a couple of days and then to the real surprise." He said cheerfully opening up our door and picking me up carrying me inside and placed a kiss on my lips.

"You know I hate surprises." I muttered between kisses moving myself to where I could wrap my legs around his waist.

Dimitri didn't need to be told twice as he played with the hem of my skirt and around my thighs leading to dangerous grounds. He growled as he continued to kiss me pinning me against him and the closest wall. My hands automatically went to his strong muscular back running them up and down and scratching knowing pleasure mixed very well with pain. My body screamed for him just like it did our very first time we had sex. I arched my back letting my body melt into his. We stayed like that until I pulled up his shirt and he laid me down on the bed. We continued our fierce kissing as I licked his bottom lip and grinned knowing these were going to be the best couple of days. He moved his mouth over to my neck sucking on it and placing soft kisses in the most sensitive areas. I laughed and squirmed underneath him enjoying the feeling of sexual activity. Dimitri's grip fastened around my waist bringing my body up to his as he continued kissing my neck until he bit down. Ice water must have splashed Dimitri and sent him back into reality as he sprang apart from me. His mouth was wide and I rushed to his side.

"It wasn't you that side of you is gone now, Dimitri. Don't be scared of what we have together." I muttered kissing his cheek and laying my head down on his shoulder. He didn't move, but didn't embrace me either which meant a bad sign.

"When do you think I'll be okay?" He whispered.

"In time." Was my only reply to him.

Like it? Love it? Review!
