Last night had been superb. Of all the many ways, now, that Dimitri and I had shared our bodies and our love, this one had been different. Firstly it had been SLOW. If there was an award for delayed gratification, Dimitri well and truly earned it last night!

No matter how gently we started, Dimitri and I always seemed to end up racing to the finish line neck and neck. But last night hadn't been like that at all. Our foreplay had taken hours. In fact, every time I'd gotten to the point of begging for things to progress, Dimitri had given me a heartbreaking smile and moved me on to a fresh method of pleasure.

We ended up trying all sorts of things and made some interesting discoveries along the way. For instance, we discovered Dimitri could make me cum hard just by breathing suggestively in my ear. And when he'd started whispering naughty things to me? Well, I'd almost self-combusted!

While the evening was meant to be all about me, I did learn a thing or two about Dimitri as well. An example? When I took his thumb in my mouth and fellated it like I would his cock, he'd completely lost his cool. And his perineum? Oh my God! I was so using that knowledge to my advantage in the very near future!

As we were exploring one another, we'd also talked a little about fantasies. We'd started out fairly tame – Suzanne had once said men tended to like lingerie in one of three broad themes – the innocent, virginal look, the dark seductress or the 'clearly available and just come and get it.' So I asked Dimitri about his preferences. It turned out he liked all three to an extent depending on his mood. And then he'd mentioned a specific thing or two he really liked, which was going to see me seeking out Suzanne tomorrow for her assistance ordering some of her euphemistically named 'specialty underwear.'

After that, the conversation moved more broadly to fantasies. While both of us were too embarrassed to articulate detailed thoughts, we'd eventually loosened up enough to share a few vague ideas with one another. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the hints Dimitri had given me were HOT! I mentally stored them away to try in the future – and I suspected he was getting some ideas after hearing my thoughts, too!

I had to giggle about that. I mean I trusted the man with my heart, my soul – hell even my life – but I was still a little too shy to tell him in detail things to guarantee he'd get my engine running red hot. He was a smart man, though – with the hints I'd given him I'm sure he'd figure it out!

Eventually, the talk turned to things in the past that had turned us on. Of course, the straddling and sexy flirting during training came up at least twenty times, but I was finally able to confess that him beating up Nikita, and Jesse, to defend my honor had turned me on immensely. I was so embarrassed telling him that I couldn't even raise my eyes to his face, instead whispering it into his chest. But he heard me and chuckled.

"Oh milaya – if I knew that turned you on, I could have beaten up an asshole every day for admiring you," he joked. "It seems almost every man who sees you wants you!"

I'd been so uncomfortable to admit the Nikita/Jesse thing, he'd reciprocated, admitting that he sometimes liked it when I was over the top sexy with him in front of other people.

"I like it when you leave NO doubt that I'm yours and you're mine" Dimitri confessed, his neck an adorable shade of beetroot. "Especially when you're really sexy about it" he whispered.

As the evening progressed, we explored each other in every way imaginable. Rather than the rushed efforts we'd previously enjoyed, this time we were both taking the time to relish every pleasure. When he finally entered me it was glorious. He set a pace that was the running equivalent of a long distance jog. Of course, knowing his stamina - that he'd be able to keep up this pace for hours - was exciting in its own right!

And keep it up for hours he had. He'd brought me beyond the edge of abandon time after time – and every time just as I thought he was approaching the same himself, he'd move us into a different position and we'd start all over again. It was the sexual equivalent of a lolly sampler box – but the problem is every position was mind-blowing in its own way!

A long time after we'd started he had me on my back, and I was so close to my umpteenth release! He picked up my ankle and put it over one shoulder, quickly following it with the other. He thrust a few times, sending me over the edge yet again. And with a blissful smile, he crooned "Just like our first time milaya!" as his eyes held mine and he finally let himself go – his cock shuddering, releasing his hot cum deep within me.


Smiling at Dimitri shyly as we sat together on 'our' outdoor swing I knew he, too, was thinking about last night. It had been magnificent and even when we woke clinging to one another after the few hours of sleep we'd managed, it still didn't feel close enough compared to the night before. We were both pretty tired, so after breakfast, we'd adjourned to our swing where we were sitting now within one another's embrace dozing. I didn't really know how to describe my joy at being with him other than I was completely blissed!

"We should probably get up and do something soon," Dimitri said halfheartedly as we watched the Guardians go about their sparring on the front lawn not far from us.

"Comrade? I think you did a week's worth of training last night alone" I whispered, giving him a meaningful look. "Let's just stay here for a while." I was enjoying doing absolutely nothing - besides while he might not be sore, I certainly was! He grinned - a genuine soft loving smile that made it all the way to his eyes.

"I'm not moving from here milaya," he said reassuringly, pulling me back against him before draping his arms around me and closing his eyes. In the end, they'd had to wake us up for lunch.

"Honestly what is up with you two?" Lissa asked. "You can barely keep your eyes open!"

"I think I have a good idea" Christian laughed with a suggestive smirk.

Mom shook her head and grimaced. Baba laughed. Dimitri flushed a deep crimson that all but confirmed Christian had been correct in his suspicions.

"Shut up, Christian," I snarled – now more determined than ever to pay him back. I wasn't going to do anything this weekend. He knew I was cross about the piggie comment, so he was already on guard. I'd let things go for a week or two – lull him into a false sense of security. Revenge is a dish best served cold, I ruminated. And I was going to make sure this was a good one!

We spent the rest of the day as a group playing board games in the living room in front of the open fireplace. It was fun – and reminded me of the day Mom, Baba, Dimitri and I had played monopoly while we were waiting for Lissa to arrive in Santa Monica for me to take her darkness. Checking in through the bond, I could see Lissa was doing fine in that department - that I didn't need to take any darkness from her. In fact, now I thought about it I hadn't had to consciously drain any darkness since Santa Monica - which was weird as she'd been using a lot of Spirit practicing with Adrian since then. I must ask Adrian when he returned from Court whether he had any insight into that.

Dinner was a quiet affair. It had been such a wonderful weekend, everyone was disappointed to be leaving later this evening. Lissa, Christian, Dimitri, Mom and I would be returning to the Academy to sleep, ready for classes tomorrow. After they dropped us off, Pavel, Suzanne, and Baba would continue on to the airstrip - returning to Santa Monica for a few days. I was feeling flat about returning to school, and Mom looked a bit bummed too, but Baba promised he'd be back after school next Friday when we could all come to the farmhouse again, hopefully with Eddie and Adrian as well.

"I won't be able to make it," Christian said with disappointment. "Tasha's coming to the Academy next weekend for a visit."

"Oh that's a pity," I said. My tone must have been off, because I could see Baba staring at me curiously. Looking away he'd obviously assumed I meant it was a pity that Christian couldn't come – not what I'd really meant - that it was a pity Tasha was visiting.

"You should invite her here for the weekend Abe," Mom suggested. "She and Dimitri have been friends for years. She'd be disappointed to miss seeing Dimitri during her visit."

"Does she know about us?" I asked Christian.

"Well she knows about the Strigoi attack, and that Dimitri and Janine are your Guardians at the Academy until you graduate, but I haven't said anything about you being together."

Dimitri looked up thoughtfully. "If you're happy to extend the invitation Abe it would be nice to see her. I've known her a long time – in fact, we even talked about me being her Guardian at one stage. I should tell her about Rose and I before it becomes public knowledge."

"Of course she's welcome," Abe said smiling at Dimitri. "Why don't you message her now and ask, Christian?"

"Thanks, Abe!" Christian grinned. "She's the only family I have, and she hates staying at the academy. I'm sure she'll be thrilled to hang out with us here instead!"

Whipping out his phone, I saw him text 'Have been invited to stay at guarded farmhouse near campus next weekend. You want to come? If not I'll stay on campus with you'

The phone pinged almost immediately with an answer: 'Who's going to be there?'

'Lissa, Rose, Dimitri, Janine, Abe and probably Adrian and Eddie plus Guardians. Abe invited you.'

'I'm in.'

"Great! She can make it" Christian grinned.

"Great," I repeated, in a voice that only Baba seemed to notice was a little forced.
