I laughingly admit, “It’s been a while.”
“You realize without me in your life, you have none.”
I smirk. “Normally, I would agree, but not after starting this course.”
Durov drives us to the beach house he keeps here in the States and, over vodka, gives me a summary of his troubles back in Russia, but then quickly changes the subject. “Tell me more about this class you’re taking.”
Standing at the kitchen counter, I give Durov a complete rundown, beginning with my first run-in with Surfer Boy in the parking lot.
“The boy sounds annoying. Do you need me to take him out?”
“No need,” I laugh. “I think I can handle the jerk.”
After telling him about the spanking practicum, I attempt to lighten his mood by making a joke. “You know, it’s surprising that a simple spanking scene could have so many impactful lessons.”
Durov breaks out in a smile as he pours us another round. “I see what you did there,moy droog. Impactful lessons, indeed…”
I shake my head and grin when I tell him, “These trainers don’t let anything slide. I mean, we lost two students before the first night even ended.”
“I respect the trainers’ ruthlessness,” Durov states with a smirk.
Still riding on the emotional high of the whole experience, I tell him, “They don’t let up, not for one second. If last night was any indication, this course is everything I was hoping for—and more.”
“I’m glad to hear it, comrade. Truly.”
Thinking he might enjoy the violet wand, I ask, “Have you ever used a violet wand before?”
“Nyet,but I have used cattle prods.”
I burst out laughing. “Of course you have, you fucking sadist.”
Durov grins. “Tell me more about this electric wand,moy droog.”
Knowing that he’s genuinely interested, I go on to tell him about my experience testing out the instrument, including my electrified kiss with Kat.
He raises an eyebrow. “What was that like?”
“Like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. It was crazy to literally feel a bolt of electricity when I kissed her on the lips.”
He smirks. “Was it just the wand,moy droog?”
I roll my eyes, knowing what he is implying. “Reid and I were simply curious. Nothing more to it, I assure you.” Quickly changing the subject, I ask, “Do you realize that by the time I am done with the course, I will know more and have experienced more than most Doms do in a lifetime?”
He nods, grinning at me. “I knew the Training Center would suit you.”
Not wanting him to miss out, I offer, “Would you like me to talk to them about letting you join a future session?”
“Nyet. I prefer to stick with my cat o’ nines, but I’m glad you are enjoying yourself.”
We spend the entire day relaxing on the beach. After everything Durov has gone through back in Russia, it’s obvious that being next to the ocean has a healing effect on his soul.
Later, when it’s nearly time for me to leave for class, I regretfully tell him I need to go.
“Can’t you skip one night,moy droog?”
I shake my head. “I can’t. Every class covers something new. But why don’t you come with me tonight?” I suggest. “They always have activities going on there.”
Durov agrees to check out the place. He drops me off at work and has his men follow my car to the Training Center while he rides with me.
