He pulled me into his embrace and turned in circles. “We are free spirits in our new home,” he added laughing before we plopped down onto the chaise.

“Show me our house,” I asked grinning at him. Sergei eyed me for a second before he stood and led me to the next room. Walking in I could see it was the kitchen.

“Well, my dear,” he said, turning in a circle. “This as you can see, is the kitchen.” He embraced me into a tight hug and kissed me softly. “Once again, if it’s not to your liking, we can redo it.”

Smiling up at him I felt a stir within my chest. “I love it,” I replied rising to my toes so I could kiss him. “But” I whispered seductively. “Are there rooms like the one at the other house?”

Sergei grinned as he lifted me into his arms. “Well, let’s find out.” He said as I flung my arms around his neck, wrapping my legs around his waist, and we headed upstairs.

As he stepped onto the top floor landing his phone started ringing. He lowered me to my feet grumbling to himself under his breath. Stepping back he pulled his phone from his jeanspocket. Looking at the caller ID, he rolled his eyes and smiled at me.

Chapter 21 - Sergei

“Sorry, I have to take this; it’s Roman,” I say as I kiss Irina’s forehead. She smiles at me nodding in agreement. Swiping at the screen, I lift the phone to my ear. “Hi, Roman, we just got here,” I said as I stepped closer and dragged Irina into a hug.

“Well, glad you got there. But that’s not why I’m calling.” Roman cleared his throat before continuing. “We’re coming over, but it won’t just be me and Karine. We won’t be alone, Sergei. Some of the family is here and also want to meet you. I just wanted to confirm that it won’t be an issue on your side?”

I glanced down at Irina’s smiling face. Feeling good with her there, I replied confidently. “Sure, no problem, brother.”

“Great, we’ll see you in a bit then,” Roman replied before hanging up.

Placing the phone back in my pocket I breathed out heavily. “We’ll have to wait a bit,” I said, picking Irina up into my arms. “The family is on their way.”

Staring into her sparkling eyes I couldn’t resist and leaned in for a kiss. We just stood there kissing passionately for a while before I carried her back down to the kitchen. I sat her down on the island. Stepping back, I placed my hands on her knees.

“Well then,” I said staring into her eyes. “What shall we serve our guests?”

“How much time do we have?” Irina inquired grinning at me.

Straightening out I pushed my hair back behind my ears. “Not much, I suppose as Roman’s place isn’t too far,” I answered.

Irina bounced off the island and walked to the fridge. “Let’s see what they stocked up on then?” She said as she opened the fridge and bent over to inspect the contents.

Watching her made my senses tingle as her perfect curves prickled my mind. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. There wasn’t time for this now. But later, yes, later, we would enjoy each other’s company, I assured myself.

Turning my attention to the cupboards, I quickly searched through them for something to serve our family.

We found some chips, crackers, cheese, olives, sausages, and other snack foods. Irina also discovered a couple of platter plates and started plating the hors d’oeuvres as I cooked the sausages. As she plated the last ones, the doorbell rang.

Smiling at each other, I headed to the door to welcome our guests. Roman and Karine were standing in front of the line as I opened the door. Karine stepped in first before giving me a quick hug and a kiss before the rest entered. Roman took me by the shoulders as we greeted them. He placed a quick kiss on each cheek.

The rest followed suit as each one entered. Soon the foyer was filled with strangers and some familiar faces. I felt a tinge of uncertainty rise as I turned to escort them into the living area.

Irina stood in the middle of the room as we entered, and I felt my mood change. She was there just as she said she would be. Walking to her side I placed an arm around her shoulders, feeling my confidence rise. Glancing down at her shining face I knew she completed me.

The family piled into the room, and Roman officially re-introduced them all. He introduced them at the door as they entered. But my mind hadn’t quite registered as I wasn’t sure what to expect. Irina knew a lot more of them than I did.

Obviously, I also knew Evelina, Ivan, Leo, and Yuri who greeted Irina as part of the family. Nikolai and Aleksei I met with the incident at the club. Then there was Luder and Ashan, whom I met only online while chatting with Roman. I introduced them to Irina after a firm handshake with each.

The women were mostly new faces for me except for Karine and Evelina. Reina, Mila, Theresa, Kira, Samantha, and five little ones were there.

Once the introductions were handled, we headed outside to the backyard. Exiting the house, it was the first time Irina, and I were out there. Roman and Karina had ensured it was breathtaking.

We walked out of the large double glass doors and down the short three curved steps to the first landing. To the left was a green lawn stretching around the house. There were a couple of large trees with tables and chairs arranged around them and flower gardens.

Toward the right was the patio with more tables and chairs and an entertainment area. Before us, there were more steps leading down to the pool area, which also had a couple of fountains and to the side a small waterfall.

It felt like we had entered another world, and I noted the excitement in Irina as she squeezed my hand. Glancing at her beaming face my mind filled with images of us enjoying the area. I smiled back at her and then shook my head to clear the thoughts. We have company and more urgent matters to consider at the moment.
