When His Strength And My Spirit Joined

Chapter 21 : Christmas Morning.

"Dimkaaaaaaa stop, I told you, we just talked." I said annoyed as Dimitri kept asking me about the conversation I'd with his mother.

He frowned. "Why were you blocking me then?" He asked.

"Why were you peeking through the bond in the first place? I thought we agreed it's only for my safety." I said with a pout. "Don't you trust me?"

He nodded. "Of course I do but when I talked to her later last night she warned me about hurting you. And she was very serious. Like I wasn't her son, at all."

I burst out laughing. "So?"

"So? I don't know. What did you guys talk about?" He asked as I left the bed to take a shower before we head down to the living room to have Christmas' breakfast. "Adrian," He said pulling me back to the bed annoyed.

I winced in pain. "Aah."

"Are you okay?" Dimitri shifted closer to check on me, his expression was of pure worry.

"A bit sore after all the things we did last night." Yep, we had a lot of sex last night. He was horny and I couldn't get him off me. In fact I was too horny to move an inch away from him. "I'll be fine." I said with a smile as he hugged me.

"Are you sure?" He asked concerned.

I nodded. "Sure. Don't worry." And I hugged him. "Last night was amazing."

He nodded kissing my lips softly. "Yes, it was. So much if I may say myself."

I nodded in agreement as he held me to the bathroom. "Dimka, I wasn't a virgin last night so you don't have to carry me like that." I told him with a frown.

He chuckled and shrugged. "That wasn't what I felt while pushing through that tight delicious beautiful ass of yours." He moaned as I flushed remembering the pleasure of last night. "You were so tight it was hard not to come after the first thrust."

I grinned. "Glad you think that."

"Oh, I think more, believe me." He said giving me one of his sexy smirks. "So are you going to tell me what you guys were talking about?"

"I told you, it was nothing. She wants to do us a beautiful wedding so we're planning it together." I said with a grin.

He raised a brow. "A what?"

"A wedding. You know. Where to do it, who'll be there. Things like that." I said as he put me down on my feet. I was naked so he didn't need to undress me neither did I 'cause he was nude too.

I turned to the shower to start the water when his arms were wrapped around me as he started nuzzling my neck. I moaned to the feeling of his hard member against the crack between my ass cheeks. "I miss you already." He murmured sucking on my neck over my collarbone.

I pulled myself away from him shaking my head. "No, babe. It's Christmas, I'm not going to lose myself in bed having sex all day."

"But it's more fun." He complained.

I shrugged. "Not today. Besides, I'm starving. You wore me out last night, Dimitri Belikov."

He smirked. "It was amazing and you liked it."

"Still, and since it's Christmas you don't get to be on top." I told him crossing my arms over my chest.

He looked at me shocked. It wasn't a habit for me to say such a thing. Of course he knew I wasn't a total bottom and if it wasn't for him, I'd be keeping my ass virginity till I die.

Anyway, the thing was that I wasn't used to asking to be on top. When I'd be on top it'd just happen, and occasionally 'cause Dimitri was more dominate in the relationship. I wasn't a submissive and he understood that. But since I was more dominate about our life regarding the where we go or where we live or what we do since I was the Moroi and he was my guardian he was more dominate regarding the intimate things. It was a balance.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me to him. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" He asked.

I nodded. "Absolutely. You're not going to fuck me any time soon, Dimka." I slid my hands down to his ass pushing my forefinger to his tight hole earning a groan out of his lips 'cause of the pleasing sensation he was receiving.

"Adrian." He moaned my name with such a love and lust that were filling his eyes too.

"Do you like that, Dimka? My whole cock in your tight heat taking you over and over. Having my way with you for the whole night. Making you screaming my name like you never did before." I whispered seductively in his ears before twisting my finger in him running them through the nerve bundles.

He cried in pleasure. "Oh, Adrian. That's so good."

I knew he'd not do such a thing with any one. I knew my lover and I knew I was the only one to do such a thing to him. "Oh, so you like it, Dimka. You like it a lot."

He nodded. "Because it's you whose doing it." He said huskily. His hard appendage was a rock-like rubbing against my abs.

I nodded. "Yes, because you're only mine. No guy or girl can get you. You're mine." I said adding another finger. "Say it."

He groaned. "I am yours, Adrian. I am only yours."

As he said those words I'd a feeling of satisfaction of being in control. I just wanted to show him that. My other hand slid up to pinch his left hard nipple as I sucked the other one driving him crazy and as our crotches kept rubbing together I saw our precome leaving our slits.

I was moving my fingers gently not to hurt him since I didn't use any lube with them. Well, only my spit but I didn't count that a real lube.

So I took my fingers off him. He groaned in frustration. "Adrian."

I chuckled while trailing up giving him a love bite on his neck. He deserved it after marking me with lots of those since we came to Russia. He didn't insist on marking me like that when we were in America. That's why I liked Russian so much. It kept me seeing my relationship without the fear of being discovered.

We both were hard so I wrapped my fingers around both of us pumping a very amazing rhythm caused us to moan and groan in pleasure. I leaned closer to Dimitri murmuring. "I'm deeply in love with you, Dimitri Belikov."

"Fuck." He cursed and came all over us. That caused me to come too so much making mess with his.

We both were panting as we collapsed on the floor still in each other's arms. "Wow." I gasped.

Dimitri chuckled as he rested his head on my shoulder. "Yes, wow. Very much wow, Love. I'm deeply in love with you too, Adrian Ivashkov." Pause then he said. "And merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas to you too, Dimka." I said with a smile before he pulled me up to my feet with him. Gently he led me to the shower.

"Gifts time." Paul and Viktoria squealed as they searched the huge pile of gifts under the decorated tree set in the living room.

I laughed as Karolina handed me and Dimitri a cup of cocoa each. "Thanks." She smiled and nodded before turning to give the others their cups.

Dimitri already had his arm around me pulling me to his warm embrace. I looked at him and smiled with happiness. How my life turned to be like that? Engaged to this amazing man. Bounded to him. Soon to be husbands.

"Very soon." He whispered to me and I flushed. He was hearing everything of my head. I pecked his lips before I turned to look around.

Yeva and Olena were busy talking about something in Russian. Karolina was spreading the cocoa between us. Sonya was cooing baby Zoya in her arms. Viktoria and Paul were digging for their gifts with sparkling eyes. Christian was holding sleepy Lissa to his chest. And finally, my best friend, the one I had never thought I'd grow that close to her to call her my best friend, a family maybe, was sitting next to her new boyfriend. Eddie had sparkles of happiness all over his aura. He was looking at her eyes with love and passion holding his hands with warmth. He was leaning closer whispering to her and she would smile and answer back. Her aura was one of a happiness too.

She turned to me briefly mouthing a 'thank you'. I nodded and smiled back to her. I was so happy she could find someone who love her as she deserved.

"OH MY GOD." Viktoria shouted pulling our attention to her happy face.

"What's it, Vika?" Olena asked her with a frown.

Viktoria grinned happily to her. "Adrian and Dimka got me two two-way tickets to Hawaii." She said waving the two two-way tickets she had for Hawaii. The one I bought for her as a Christmas' gift.

She got up and hugged me and Dimitri so tightly. "Thank you so much guys. This is the best gift ever."

I smiled and nodded. "You're welcome, Vika."

"Glad you like it, sis. Though it was mostly Adrian's idea." Dimitri said before kissing my temple murmuring a thank you.

She shrugged. "I don't care. I'm going to Hawaii." She said with a grin before going back to her spot with her other gifts.

Rose found it interesting so she decided it was her time to dig for gifts. She pulled Eddie with her to search. Christian and Lissa followed.

"Adrian, that's from me." Rose said handing me a wrapped box.

"Thanks, Rose." I said pulling myself off Dimitri's embrace to give her a hug. "You didn't have to."

She grinned and nodded. "It's okay, I wanted to. Merry Christmas." She said before pulling back to Eddie's lap. "You can have your gift from here, Comrade."

Carefully but eagerly I unwrapped the box and opened it. Dimitri was leaning close to see what it was. In the box I found a multi flavored lubes, condoms and a toy. Fast than I could imagine, I closed the box and flushed like there is no tomorrow.

Rose burst out laughing. Dimitri joined her and I kept glaring at them both. "Seriously, Rose?"

She tried to talk through her giggles. "I-I thou-thought you'd like it. I mean yo-you have so-some great us-uses for it." She said laughing.

She was right and I noticed Dimitri's grin, a proof that he liked the gift as much as I did, maybe more. "Thanks anyway. But that wasn't nice."

She laughed before answering. "Best friends don't have to be nice." She said with a wink.

I smiled mischievously and nodded, now I didn't have to worry about my gift. "You're right. Just look for my gift to you."

She frowned at me. "What do you mean, Ivashkov?"

I shrugged. "I'm just saying that maybe Eddie will like it more than you."

She gave me the bird before turning to her gifts. I just laughed. "Bad boy." Dimitri murmured and I was sure he saw the gift in my head.

I laughed and nodded. "I know, I know."

Sometime later I heard Rose gasping and Eddie laughing like there was no tomorrow. She had to slap his arms for him to stop laughing but I could see the amusement in his eyes.

He gave me a grateful smile before turning back whispering to Rose. I was sure he said something naughty 'cause she flushed deeply. "Like my gift, Rosie." I teased her.

She glared at me before laughing for real. I knew she liked my gift too. "Where did you get that thing in the first place?" Dimitri asked me.

"I ordered it by the internet." I whispered. "Where do you think I can find such a sexy devil costume like that?"

He chuckled and nodded. "You're right."

"IVASHKOV." Christian screamed from his spot near the fireplace a group of gift around him and laughing Lissa sitting on his lap.

I turned to him and smirked. "Like my gift, Christie?"

"That should be yours, Fool. I already have something to stick it somewhere." He said with a glare.

"Yeah, but it's not big enough. It's mostly for my Cousin, you know." I said before laughing at his expression. it was so much fun watching his red face as he found the wrapped box with a new vibrator dildo in it.

Was I dirty? No, it's just that I knew Rose would need such a thing for a special night with Eddie. A sexy lingerie could do the trick easily.

As for Christian, well, I promised him that gift. I couldn't leave my promise unfulfilled.

I had a lot of gifts that Christmas. One more reason to love that Christmas declaring it as my favorite.

"Adrian, Love." Dimitri whispered to me gently.

"Yea?" I asked turning to his loving eyes.

"Don't you think it's the time for our gifts to be exchanged?" He asked and I grinned.

I nodded excitedly. "Of course." I said and jumped off our seat to the tree searching for his gift.

I saw him getting up walking to the tree searching for his gift to me. I saw him smiling as he found it and walked back to our seat waiting for me. Finally, I found the wrapped box and walked back to him.

I noticed our friends and family looking at us. I knew they were all wondering about what gifts we brought for each other.

I sat on his lap handing him the box. "Merry Christmas, Dimka."

He kissed me softly before handing me my gift. "Merry Christmas, fiancé of mine." I smiled to the name he gave me.

I took the gift from him and started opening it. I couldn't wait to find what it was.

In a box I found an amazing silver watch. It was antique, I could tell. Scanning it, I noticed some graving at the back.

Yours Forever..

Dimka, 2012

I couldn't help the tears coming out of my eyes. It was so Dimka to do such a thing and I loved it. All of it. I turned to him and kissed him passionately before whispering. "I'm yours too, Love."

I heard people clapping for us. We turned to them smiling before I turned back to him. "Your turn. I hope you like it."

He nodded opening the box I brought for him.

I was so excited. I didn't know what his reaction would be. I didn't want him to be upset but it was really my choice. I had it somehow selfishly knowing how easier our life would be.

In the box a western novel he loved, an old copy, with the writer's signature declared for Dimitri. He looked at me surprised. He was about to kiss me when I stopped him.

"Open it." I said and that when he noticed a piece of paper with a picture attached to it. The picture was for a mansion.

He looked at me shocked. "Adrian. what the-"

I kissed him while saying through the bond. "I want us to live here. in Russia. Near your family."

"But-" He tried to protest.

"No buts. This place means a lot to me. It's where I gave myself completely to you. It's where I discovered the real depth of our feelings to each other. Here, I lost you and brought you back. Here is the place where we established our bond. Where we decided to commit ourselves to each other. Here were I felt how it's to have a real relationship. I want to be here. With you. And with our family. It's my gift for both of us, Dimka."

He sighed and smiled hugging my tightly to him. "Thank you, Adrian. This is the most amazing and the best Christmas I've ever had. You're my Christmas. You're my gift and you're my life."

Through the bond I whispered with affection. "You can't imagine how happy I am with all of this." I caressed his cheeks as he smiled to me. "Everything is beyond perfect. I never had a real Christmas like this. Mine were all about drinking and partying like crazy out in the open. But then I'd go back to my empty apartment with a tree and decoration celebrating it alone. It got better when I met our friends but never this better. Never this amazing feelings I feel now. I always wanted a real Christmas, like the ones in movie and you, Dimitri, gave me that. I'm so thankful, Love."

I saw tears filling his eyes as he saw through the bond what my life had been during my clod empty Christmas. How I suffered the loneliness and the coldness. Away from him.

But now..

"You're not alone." He whispered. "Not anymore. I'm not going to let you go. You'll always have me. and no more cuddling to the pillows on the couch watching bad TV. You'll only be cuddling with me."

I chuckled before kissing him. "That would be amazing."
