Carpathian People (Me and JosieAnna)

Skyler clutched at him. "Uh-uh. You aren't leaving," she declared. "Or you're at least taking me with you," she added as an option, knowing that Gabriel could only take so much. However, if she and Dimitri were truly going to be together, she was tired of wasting time.
 
Dimitri smiled, running his fingers through her hair slowly. "You are very brave, Cara Mia." He said softly, before taking a step back, looking over her quickly before turning to Gabriel. "I will take care of her." He turned to the door, his arms around Skyler, and slowly leading her out.
 
Skyler already had on boots so she only had to grab a coat on the way out the door. "No, if I were truly brave, I'd have stayed with you three years ago." As they walked outside, Francesca saw and knew through Gabriel's thoughts what was going on.

Walking up to Skyler, she pressed her hands to the young girls cheeks and kissed her forehead. "Visit," she murmured.

"I will."
 
"Bravery is something you gain as you age." He said in a soft voice as they stepped out of the door. He saw Francesca come towards them and felt a wave of gratitude pass over him at the woman. He felt like hugging her, but he held his composure and bowed, low, to her.

"Thank you for looking over Skyler for me over these several years."
 
Skyler wrinkled her nose at his speech about bravery, then stood still as he spoke to Francesca.

Francesca looked at him. "It was a pleasure," she said honestly. "Take good care of her." With this, she turned back to playing with the children.

Skyler turned to him, wiping a tear from her eye. "Which way?" she asked.
 
He turned to her and pulled her back to him, holding her close and running a hand through her hair lightly. "That depends on where you want to go. I know a nice place to relax and retreat from the cold, or we can go to my cabin for a while."
 
Skyler leaned into him. "Either sounds fine," she murmured, not sure which she'd really prefer, so leaving the choice up to him.
 
He smiled, pulling her close before slowly leaning down and picking her up, across in his arms. "I think you need to relax." He said softly, before kissing her lightly. His eyes closed as he carried her off, and within moments they were in the entrance of a cavern. He slowly walked in, still holding her. It was dark, but he could see perfectly. Soon, there was a soft water trickle going, and they entered a open area. There were a few pools of water, one having a little waterfall go into it.

"These are the mineral springs." He said softly. "It's a good place to relax." He Put her down near the middle of the room, with two springs, one on each side of her. He walked forward and gently touched a candle, and fire shot all around the room, lighting the room up with dozens of candles, their eerie light making the scene that much more amazing.
 
SKyler gasped when he lifted her, clinging to him in case she fell. "Next time you're going to do that, just warn me," she said softly after he ended this kiss, which sent her heart pounding but not in terror - yet. When he entered the cavern and set her down, she laughed at the set up. "You so totally planned this," she accused teasingly. "But it's nice, so I'll pretend I don't realize that."
 
He looked at her with a hurt expression on his face. "Me? I didn't plan this." He took a few steps closer to her, stroking her cheek gently before turning to the larger spring. His slow steps to the pool were distinct, every step removing a layer of his clothing so he was nude as he stepped in. His muscles rippled as he moved, laying back against the rock edge and letting the water go over him, hot water that relaxed him.
 
Skyler laughed softly at his expression, pressing her palm to one of his cheeks. "I was only teasing," she murmured soothingly. When he walked to the spring, her jaw dropped as his clothing disappeared and her eyes got huge. Since he was walking away from her, she didn't panic too much but did swallow nervously. "I think I'm just going to stay right here," she said quietly.
 
Dimitri turned then, looking at her with soft eyes. He lifted himself slightly, the water sliding down his body. But he didn't rise too much, leaving only his upper body showing to her. "Come here, Cara Mia. Enter the pool and let me help you relax. I won't hurt you."
 
Skyler shook her head, refusing to look at him. It wasn't only his nudity that made her not want to join him, but the scars on her body. "No, I ... I don't want you to see me," she whispered, fully aware of how ridiculous it sounded.
 
He pulled himself out of the pool now, a towel appearing around his waist. He slowly walked over to her, turning her slowly and stroking her cheek. He tilted her head to look into her eyes. "I don't care how you look, I am yours. What they did to you before, they will pay for it. But right now, please. Relax, you need it more than anything."
 
With his gentle coaxing, Skyler slowly shrugged out of her coat. "No. No more violence," she whispered. No matter what had been done or by who, she firmly believed that fighting violence with violence was wrong. Slowly, she lifted her t-shirt over her head and tossed it aside, looking only at his eyes, breathing a little heavily from anxiety.
 
He let her do it. He knew she could, knew she was strong of heart. He nodded slowly at her words. "Ok." He said softly, stroking her cheek gently before kissing her lightly, a brush of his lips against hers. "I won't hurt them if you tell me not to." His hands moved and stroked over her arms lightly, a gentle touch to help her.
 
This time, when Dimitri began to pull away, Skyler rose up on her toes to keep kissing him. A moment later, she dropped back to being flat footed and leaned down to untie her boots and take them off.
 
he was surprised at her action, and returned the continued kiss. His lips didn't leave her alone too much, moving down and gently kissing the side of her neck as he moved behind her. His hands gently stroked over her back before unsnapping her bra. Staying behind her so she would have at least a sense of privacy. He didn't want her to be scared.
 
She shivered when he kissed her neck and unsnapped her bra, then briefly wrapped her arms around herself like she was chilly. Before too long, she reached down to unsnap her jeans and pushed them slowly over her hips.
 
He slowly slid her bra off, letting it fall to the ground before turning from her, walking back to the spring. He took the towel off himself, letting it fall to the ground before going back into the water, relaxing against the earthen wall. He waited for her, eyes closed.
 
Seeing that his eyes were closed, Skyler quickly finished undressing and slipped into the water. It took for a couple minutes, but before too long she drifted over next to him, her hand on his chest, doodling nervously.
 
He felt her move and touch him softly, and his eyes opened, looking at her lovingly. "Turn around." He said softly, his hands coming up and stroking her arms, her cheek, before he moved a little closer and kissed her. It was deeper than the other ones, more passionate. More loving.
 
Skyler kissed him back with just as much passion. "Why do you want me to turn around?" she whispered against his lips.
 
He smiled, gently kissing to her ear, nipping her ear gently. "To help you relax." He whispered softly, his hands stroking up to her shoulders.
