Ever wondered if there was so much more going on in the Vampire Academy series then we heard? After having read the series so many times, as well as the Bloodlines series (spoilers inside), the short stories released for the anniversary and plenty o...
Woken by incessant knocking on his door, Dimitri reluctantly moved from where he lay entwined with Rose and sleepily answered the door. Paying little attention to their state of dress, she in his shirt and him shirtless. Since that day on the ice, they'd been making progress as a couple.

While Rose was still hesitant to give him all of her, she now allows him to hold her as they slept. As soon as the door opened, Tasha threw herself at him, pushing him back so she was now inside the room, in his arms. With all the commotion she was making, Rose too roused awake, sitting up to ask what was going on as she rubbed sleep from her eyes. Tired from her shift and wanting sleep, she was hating being woken at all, let alone by a hysterical Tasha. Who looked like she was desperately trying to reclaim her lost youth, to compete with Rose.

"Lady Ozera. What has you in my room at this hour" Dimitri asked, not happy at the look on the woman's face as she took in the state of the room and Rose in his shirt. He was trying to distance himself from Tasha now that Rose was finally letting him in again. He'd not risk losing her. Losing her trust again would mean the point of no return for them as a couple. It would be final.
"Oh Dimka. Don't be that way" she pouted, running her hand along his arm in a flirtatious effort, only it made her look more like a child denied their favorite toy. That had him realise the biggest difference between the women. Tasha looks at him more like a toy, a possession. Rose saw the real him, completely open and vulnerable, even loving his flaws. It had him wondering if Tasha truly would have given him a family as she said, or merely using it as a lure to get him into her bed. Plastering on a fake smile she replied, stunned to see Rose in Dimitri's shirt. One bed still made meant they were sharing the one she was still in, her bare legs showing. "I didn't realize you'd be sharing a room. After all, this is an Academy event". Her thinly veiled threat was clear, obviously planning to take advantage of thoughts that Rose and Dimitri would not be allowed to be romantic during an Academy event, unaware of the heights of approval.
"No problems Tasha" Rose began, ignoring her implicit threat and attempting civility when all she wanted was to remove the offending arms that were still holding her reluctant man. Dimitri was uncomfortable with the intimacy Tasha was imposing upon him, particularly in front of the woman who has him heart and soul. That was the only reason Rose was being even remotely calm right now. "What can we do for you?" there were limits to her patience at this hour and they were a package deal.
