Dimitri had braced both of his hands on the wall to keep her from escaping. He had a very predatory look in his eye which had Aurora averting hers. It felt like his aggressive side was coming out, and she doesn't know if she's ready for that.

She felt his hand trace her jaw, and her heart started beating faster as she closed her eyes. She was fighting this feeling to lean into him and let him take control.

"Look at me," he said as he traced a line down her neck to her collar bone, she trembled, "Aurora, look at me," he commanded.

She told herself not to look, but the tone in his voice did not give her an option.

"Are you afraid of me?" Dimitri asked. There was desire detectable in his eyes, and that was what she was afraid of. She wanted to avoid having to analyze her feelings as long as she possibly can because she knows that telling herself that she was doing all of this for her son would be enough.

She knows that sooner or later, she would have to give in and to give in would mean that she had fallen for him and his charms, and she does not know if she was ready to relinquish her newfound freedom. Will he control everything that will happen in her life, just like he had commandeered her job and their move this fast?

"Your silence tells me you agree," he grinned, continuing his exploration. He trailed his fingers at the neck of her shirt, stopping to caress between her breasts.

She swatted his hand away from her in annoyance. "Stop it!" He shouldn't be taking any liberties with her, she thought.

And this reaction only widened his grin. "Hmm…," he thought, "she was finally showing some spunk and some reaction." The only time he saw her react was earlier with Enzo, he wanted her to show him some of that heat he saw earlier. He saw her like a wild cat, very scared and hard to tame, and she had very long claws, but she was loyal to those who bothered to get close to her. He was going to enjoy taming her.

He took both her arms in his hands and started caressing them, Aurora gasped, feeling the electricity coursing from his hands into her arms. She was immobilized as she saw his face getting nearer, and when his lips touched hers, she wanted to sigh, someone did, and she hoped it was not her.

It had been five years since he had a taste of her lips, and it felt so familiar like he'd just kissed her yesterday. This was what he wanted to do ever since he realized it was her, the woman of his dreams.

She was trying to fight him, trying to squirm from his grasp, but he wouldn't let her go. He was going to savor kissing her until he was done, so he held both of her hands high above her head, so he could render her immobile and at the same time expose her wet delectable body to him.

His mouth softly kissed her waiting lips, but his tongue was prying her mouth open to give him access. He was getting forceful, sucking on her lips while one of his hands started caressing her hips.

Aurora was getting hypnotized, she doesn't remember being kissed like this before, not even with the little things she remembered from that fateful night, it wasn't like this, and she wanted more. She was responding, leaning into the kiss, and kissing him back. She felt her tongue dueling and playing with his, licking and sucking his lips, she didn't think kissing someone could be this intense.

She still had her eyes closed when he stopped and leaned his forehead to hers. She felt like she ran a marathon as she tried to catch her breath. "Not bad for a first kiss," she thought. She was surprised that he did not repulse her. Ever since she lost her virginity, she thought men were disgusting creatures who took advantage of women, so she stirred clear of them. But not with Dimitri, if she was honest with herself, she would admit that she liked kissing him and would want to explore that part of their relationship more.

Her theory was that maybe because he was the man she had been pining for all those years, and he was the father of her son, and then knowing the story behind what happened had helped clear the air between them and her apprehension against men in general. It helped that he had looked for her and was pining for her as well.

She came out of her reverie when she felt his hand start moving against her hip, pulling her towards him.

"No," Aurora moaned, asking him to stop, but to Dimitri, it sounded like an invitation, so he continued his exploration. Touching her above her wet clothes. He could feel the heat coming from her body, and it encouraged him to squeeze her breasts and find the indentation for her nipple.

"Ughhh…," she moaned unconsciously, the lace underwear intensified the way he was caressing her, her body kept saying yes while her mind kept saying no, it was like her body and mind were disjointed.

He kissed her again, he just couldn't get enough of her, how she tasted, and with the way, she responded to his kisses and his touch. He changed the hand that was holding her up as he kneaded her other breast.

It was music to his ears every time she moaned, and she was moaning and breathing heavily now. He wanted to take her here and now, take off all her wet clothes so he could touch her more intimately. But he knew this was not the time nor the place. He was satisfied as he kissed her more slowly this time. Not wanting to end it, but he had to. Their son was in the other room, and he could come in anytime.

He took a step back and let her hands go, Aurora's legs gave way from the sudden movement, she wasn't prepared because her whole body was leaning on him while they'd been kissing, and her legs had gone weak, but he caught her in time before she fell.

"Your legs have turned into jelly just because I kissed you, I can just imagine what would happen when I finally take you," he whispered haughtily into her ear as he held her.

This made her blood boil, "You have too much confidence," she said as she shoved herself off him. She tried to push him off harder, but he just chuckled, "Don't fight me, you won't win," he said giving her a warning, "Change into one of the bathrobes, so you don't catch a cold. I will tell them to get you something to change into."

She nodded her head in resignation. There was no use fighting him when her body won't even obey her. He placed a small kiss on her forehead and walked to the other room.

Then she felt guilty because in those few minutes she forgot about Enzo and she thought only about herself and how she wanted to feel his hands on her.

She couldn't face him, so she went on and dried her hair to occupy her time. She can't keep on staying in the bathroom when she has nothing to do. Might as well look presentable and not look like a drowned rat when she went and made her point.

She was surprised at the amount of food that was laid out on the table when she finally found the courage to come out. It was enough to feed a small group.

Lunch looked like the United Nations had been invited to their room with the assortment of dishes they had, then every imaginable dessert or sweets had occupied every nook and cranny of their table.

Father and son had food on their plates, and she was touched that Dimitri was thoughtful enough to think of food, knowing that the journey would belong.

"Mama, look!" Enzo screamed as soon as he saw her, "Yummy, yummy! Sweets and cakes... Come! come!"

Dimitri smiled at her like nothing happened, even the teasing look on his face was gone. She felt awkward but decided if he could come out here and pretend nothing happened, then so could she.

He handed her a plate with food on it already, "I think you might like the food I got you, they're all tasty," he said.

She was moved that he served her and Enzo food and was now tending to their messy son. The journey was longer than she thought and did not think to tell him to stop for food. He kept on surprising her, and her heart kept melting with all the small thoughtful gestures.

While she was tasting the food, someone knocked at the door, "They must be delivering your clothes," he stood to open the door.
