“Dobroye utro, lyubimyy.”

“Buenos dias, amore.”

“I am at the council building. As soon as we are finished with our briefing, I will be home to you. I will have today off, but I will have to go back to work tomorrow, unfortunately.”

“Tomorrow here or tomorrow in Italy?” Had things changed? Was he going back out right away?

“Tomorrow here. I will be here for a week before having to return.”

I smiled sleepily. I could deal with a week of him home in the evenings. The schedule was going to wear on everyone quickly, but I knew this assignment was important.

“I can’t wait to see you. I’m trying to drag myself out of bed, but it’s warm and cozy, and I just want to snuggle in a bit longer.”

I heard chuckling. “Stay. I’ll join you when I get there.”

It had been so tempting. I had plans though. Or at least that had been my intent. I was going to get up and shower. I was going to shave and be ready for my sexy dragon. I had the best intentions, but the bed seriously was cozy and warm. I dozed back off until I was jolted awake.

I heard something. Or felt someone’s presence in the cabin. I pushed a bit of magic out to figure out who it was. When I felt a very familiar aura, my heart started racing. Dimitri was home. A moment later, panic set in. I’d not gone through the shower like I’d planned. Not that I hadn’t showered during the week he was gone, but I was hoping for a very happy homecoming.

Luckily for me, I was a warlock and could simply magick myself clean. That was exactly what I did without having to leave the comforts of our bed. Same with brushing my teeth. I decided to leave the few days’ growth on my face. It wasn’t that thick, nor had it ever been, and I didn’t think Dimitri would care too much.

“Lyubimyy?”

My heart started racing.

“I dozed back off. I’m still in bed.”I rolled over, my body rapidly reacting to the fact that Dimitri was home.“Naked.”I wasn’t sure Dimitri would be willing, but one could hope. It was perfectly safe, and in all honesty, it had been too long. Iunderstood. I had been incredibly sick. But that seemed to have passed. Well, mostly. But I was feeling so much better, and my body wanted to spend the day getting reacquainted with my sexy dragon.

I heard a thud and then loud footsteps racing up the stairs. Dimitri came racing into the bedroom just as I pushed up onto my elbows to look at him. He was just gorgeous. “Gah, you’re so sexy,” I told him. That absolutely was not what I had intended to say, but that was what had come out of my mouth. I wanted to groan and hide, but when Dimitri’s eyes seemed to widen, and then his face became tense, I knew I had probably said the right thing with how I had hoped the day would go.

“You are the gorgeous one,” Dimitri said as he slowly approached me. He walked right up to the side of the bed and sat.

I sat up more, the blanket falling and pooling around my waist. “I missed you,” I told him. I reached out and closed my eyes briefly when my hands made contact with my One. He was actually here. This wasn’t a dream, and he was home to me. I opened my eyes, finding him staring at me intently. “You’re really here,” I whispered.

“I am. I missed you as well. My dragon is happy to be here with you.”

I tried to give him a look of irritation, but I wasn’t sure I succeeded. “Only your dragon?”

“I am very happy to be here with you. Would you like to go flying with me?”

I shook my head. I slid my left hand from Dimitri’s shoulder to his neck and then behind it. “No. I do not wish to go flying, Dimitri.” I pulled his head closer to mine. “Can you honestly say you would rather go flying in the cold instead of getting naked and knotting yourself inside of me?” I wasn’t sure I wanted theanswer to that question, but it was out before I could think better of it, and there was no pulling it back now.

Dimitri gasped. “Lyubimyy?”

“I want you, Dimitri. I never intended to be sick, and I certainly didn’t want to not be able to make love with you. But I’ve been feeling so much better, and I really want to explore your body.” As I said those words, Dimitri’s head moved closer to mine. When his lips finally made contact, I moaned. Dimitri’s hands touched my face gently, and we were slowly falling back onto the bed.

I had thought we would be frantic, but that wasn’t the case at all. Dimitri’s lips moved against mine until I opened my mouth for him. When his tongue met mine, something inside me seemed to click. My body had already been vibrating against his aura, but now my claiming bite was throbbing in unison with my painfully hard cock.

But something told me to not rush things. Sure, we could find relief quickly, but that wasn’t what I wanted. I had a lifetime with Dimitri, and we would have moments of rushed fucking, but that wasn’t what this was, and we both knew it.

Dimitri’s hands moved from my face to my shoulders, and as I rolled toward him more, I reached for the blanket to get it out of the way. The room had been chilly without Dimitri in it, and I had needed it for warmth. That wasn’t the case now that my dragon was home.

I became a bit frustrated when I pulled on the blanket and it wouldn’t move, and when I pulled my mouth away to see what the issue was, I realized it was because Dimitri was lying on top of it. Irritated, I used magic to move it completely out of the way. Without it for a barrier, the drastic difference between the warmth under it and the cool room was noticeable, but I could already feel the heat coming from my One. I would never be cold when near him. It simply wasn’t possible.

Dimitri’s lips started moving down my neck, and I was only too happy to move my head to the side to give him more room. He nibbled on my claiming bite, and I moaned into the room. My fingers threaded into his head, and when his lips moved farther down to my nipple, I closed my eyes and pressed up into him a bit.

Dimitri’s tongue flicked over it before he pulled away and gently blew across the now wet bud. That, combined with the coolness of the room, caused me to shiver. Dimitri’s warmth was suddenly gone, and it took me too long to open my eyes to see where he’d gone. I found him standing next to the bed, now shirtless. His jeans were undone, but instead of pushing them down, he bent down.

I had his boots, socks, and jeans gone with a thought. Dimitri stood, and my breath caught at the sight. He was stunning and all mine.
