"Is she asleep?" asked Andrei as Kim returned from Marina's bedroom, where she'd just put the little girl down for an afternoon nap.

Kim nodded.

"I missed you so very much, Kimberly." Andrei's arms came around to encircle Kim's shoulders as he inhaled the scent of her hair.

"I missed you too, Andrei," Kim said. "More than I can say."

"So did you not have any other boyfriends in over three years?" Andrei was incredulous.

"I was too busy taking care of Marina to even think about it."

"She is beautiful." Andrei traced a line of kisses along Kim's hairline. "We made a wonderful little girl together, did we not?"

"We sure did," Kim replied. "She looks just like you, as I hoped she would."

"Mm." Andrei began to kiss Kim's neck.

"Was it really horrible in the gulag?"

"Horrible doesn't even begin to describe it." Andrei chuckled. "The day they let me go was the happiest of my life."

"How did you end up there?"

"I was falsely accused of speaking against the government. I never found out who my accusers were."

"I have a pretty good idea who it was," Kim said.

"Who?" Andrei stopped kissing her and just stared at her in disbelief. She told him of what Mark had done.

Andrei's face went red with rage. "I will kill him!"

"He's already dead," Kim told him of the news program she'd watched at Our Father's House.

"Well, then, we do not have to worry about him anymore, do we," Andrei purred, taking Kim's hand and leading her into the bedroom.

While Andrei unbuttoned his shirt, Kim pulled her own over her head, then reached for Andrei's belt. Andrei unfastened Kim's bra and let it fall, then stepped back and looked at her.

"I'd forgotten how beautiful you are," he murmured.

Kim finished undoing his belt and unzipped his pants, then tugged them down to his ankles and did the same with his underwear. He quickly kicked them off and stood before her naked. She began to softly kiss him, then took him all the way into her mouth, reaching behind to massage his testicles at the same time.

"It has been a very long time for me. It will happen very quickly," he warned her. Aware of the truth of his words, she didn't spend nearly as long pleasuring him with her mouth as she would have liked.

After a few minutes, she lay back on the bed and let Andrei remove her slacks and panties, then spread her legs to give him access to her most sensitive area. His tongue quickly found her pleasure center, and she went over the edge almost instantly.

"Is it all right?" Andrei asked next.

"Yes," said Kim, very happy that her period had just ended a couple of days before.

Andrei plunged into her, and they moved together desperately, frantically, until he moaned loudly and thrust madly, filling her with his seed.

Afterwards they lay quietly together, cradled in one another's arms, happy and sated.

After awhile, Kim yawned.

"You can take a nap if you want. It is all right." Andrei chuckled.

"Marina will be awake soon," said Kim.

"She is not used to me yet." Andrei sounded a little sad.

"She will be soon," Kim assured him.

"It is funny, is it not," Andrei remarked. "One day I am a man alone, and the next I not only find you again, but discover that I have a child as well."

"So what will you do now?" asked Kim. "Go back to your own country?"

"I don't know," Andrei told her. "If I do, I will send for you and Marina soon. In truth it does not matter that much to me, as long as we are together."

"As long as we're together," Kim echoed.

That was the only thing that really mattered to her as well.
