Esther’s POVOver the next couple days several vampire lords had arrived for both the hearing and Elizabeth’s burial. Samantha hadn’t arrived yet, but she was supposed to arrive tonight. I have only met Samantha once before; I wasn’t looking forward to our second meeting, but I didn’t see that it could be avoided. I needed to know from her how she felt about Dimitri. I felt weird planning to talk to her, whenever she was coming here to bury her daughter. I guess I will just have to wait and see if the time is right. Most of my time here has been spent in Dimitri’s room. He still hasn’t given in on sex, but I have actually been enjoying the anticipation. We have talked a lot, about things that have happened to us over the years, things we have learned, and things that took our breath away. I could tell that Dimitri had really enjoyed being a father, but he wished for different circumstances. He never loved Samantha, and by the sound of it she never loved him. They had a mutual respec
ESTHER’s POV Dimitri pulled me into the bathroom, stripping my body of clothes along the way, and planting kisses on my chest, arms, and back. I was down to just my bra and underwear. I shoved him back into the wall and pulled the belt from his pants. “Mm” he groaned approving of my action. Then I unbuttoned his trousers letting them drop to the floor. His cock was hard and pressing against his boxers begging to be let out. I grabbed his boxers with both hands pulling them down and falling to my knees at the same time. I grabbed his cock bringing the head of it to my mouth, I glanced up at Dimitri and his lust filled eyes were trained on me. I pushed my tongue out to meet the top of his penis and began swirling my tongue around it.“Oh yeah” Dimitri groaned enjoying the sensation. I started taking more of his cock into my mouth trying to fit the full length. I bobbed my head forward and back stroking his shaft with my mouth and tongue. I grabbed onto his thighs for stability, and
Esther’s POV Once we finished our shower, we both started getting ready for our dinner with Samantha and Gregory. I was just finishing my hair when the phone rang to let us know that they had arrived. Dimitri had arranged for a private dining experience at one of the restaurants. We went to meet Samantha and Gregory at the entrance of the catacombs to greet them. The closer we got to the entrance the more nervous I got, at the time I didn’t understand why I was getting so nervous but now I know, it’s because the stakes were so high for me. If this went poorly it would affect my relationship and future with Dimitri, I never thought it would be a possibility to have a relationship with him after he married Samantha. It broke my heart when he decided to marry her, but being around Dimitri again and feeling what I have the last few days has made me want to try again, I know if I don’t try, I will regret it for the rest of my life, my very, very long life.We met Samantha and Gregory
Dimitri’s POV I picked an Italian restaurant for us all to eat at, because who doesn’t like pasta.I have been anxious about this evening because I know how much it will mean to Esther and I really hope her, and Samantha will get along. If they don’t it would be one more roadblock in our way. I picked up on parts of their conversation on the way to the restaurant, and so far, they seemed to be getting along just fine. Tonight, I planned to make my divorce official, Gregory had written me a while back asking if it would be possible, seeing as he was hoping to marry Samantha on their one hundredth anniversary. Once we were all seated the waiter poured us all a glass of wine. Once everyone’s glass was full, I raised my glass in the air. “A Toast” everyone at the table raised their glasses as well. “To the dissolution of Samantha and I’s marriage.” “Really?” Samantha squealed in excitement. “Yes, I think four hundred and something years is long enough, don’t you?” “Yes, I wholehear
Dimitri’s POVThe chef of the restaurant came out to see how we enjoyed the meal shortly before we finished. “It was, delicious as always” I exclaimed “Thank you, for another fine meal.”Once everyone was finished, we all got up to go to Samantha and Gregory’s suite to look at the journal. Esther and I led the way, their suite was set up at the opposite end of the hall from our room. “This will be your room.” I said opening the door when we got there and passing them the key.Their luggage had already been delivered and Gregory walked straight over to the suitcases once we were inside. “It is so exciting to share this with you.” He said as he slung the suitcase onto the bed and started unzipping it. Once it was open, he started rummaging through the contents until he pulled out a small silver box. “I keep it in a sealed, container at all times when I am not looking at it.” He explained while bringing the box over to us. “Why don’t we all have a seat at the table.” Samantha suggest
Esther’s POV “Well, I am sure you are both tired from your travels, would it be possible to borrow the scans, so I can look them over this evening?” I questioned, I really needed to know what the pages said, but I didn’t want to appear to eager, I have protected this secret for far too long to have it exposed now. “Of course, I think you will find them very interesting.” Gregory went over to the bed and rummaged through his suitcase for just a moment before bringing back a paper booklet and handing it to me.“As a matter of fact, you can hold onto it, I have other copies.” He smiled Sometimes I wish I was in the old world again, when things rarely had copies, who knew how many copies of this journal there were now? how many people he had sent this information to? All I could hope was that nothing of note was in the pages. Dimitri and I excused ourselves for the night and went back to our room. Once inside I cast a spell of concealment as I didn’t want anyone to be able to overhear
Dimitri’s POVI often wondered why out of everyone; Esther chose me, to share the burden of her past. She had never told another soul in all her life except me and then I betrayed our relationship, for power, protection, and status. If I could go back in the past, I would kick myself so hard it would knock my teeth out. I know my past is what made me who I am today, but my mind can’t help but to wonder what if. Having Esther back was bittersweet, it made me mourn what could have been, if only I had been different. I don’t know how, I came to take her for granted, but I did. We both read over the scanned pages from the journal, and it was fascinating to learn more about the seven. Esther never really told me much about them, just how it all ended. They were tasked to protect the relics of God, with their lives and for many of them that is exactly what they did, they were the last group of seven.The seven were in constant movement with the relics making sure they never stayed in the s
Esther’s POV The alarm went off and I cracked open my eyes, the room was still pitch black, seeing as there wasn’t any windows to let in light. Sometimes it was very difficult to live underground. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes, I did always sleep a lot more when I was underground though, or maybe that was because I had Dimitri to cuddle with. He was still sleeping despite the alarm. I thought about letting him sleep a bit longer, until it hit me what today was, today would be the burial. I really didn’t want to go. In truth, I didn’t mourn the death of Elizabeth, I only mourned the pain it caused Dimitri and others. I knew I should feel differently about the loss of life, but I couldn’t think about Elizabeth without picturing all the people she killed. I too have taken lives but not out of hate. I laid back down next to Dimitri, I gently stroked his handsome face with my fingertips. “It’s time to wake up” I said gently, a small smile spread across his face, but he still didn’t
