LONGING IN THE URALS
I consider myself a fit person. Everest is high up on my list of places
to hike and experience, but to do that, I needed to be more fit than
ever. Id always wanted to hike the Russian Ural mountains. Little did I
know that it would lead me where it did.
I should tell you a bit about myself. My names Scott Worrell, I reside
in Sydney, Australia, one of the best countries in the world to live
in, the best, but that's just me. Early on in my life, my parents
instilled in me a love of travel. They took me with them around
Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii. While they had the money too anyway.
After I started working, I saved for holidays, living frugally and
saving as much as I could. I went through New Zealand again, I went to
Japan, across part of China, The United States, Canada and Alaska. I
saved up for a year to be able to go to my next destination, The Ural
Mountains.
Yekaterinburg is where I started, the gateway to the Ural Mountains.
Getting off the trans-Manchurian express there, I checked into a hotel
and checked all my equipment. Tent, sleeping bag, clothes, it was all
there. Id pick up enough food to last 2 to 3 weeks and cooking
equipment tomorrow. Propane cookers cant travel by air, and they
attract the attention of customs officials too. I couldn't be more
carefull, if I did the wrong thing, I may end up in a modern day gulag,
there's nothing romantic about it, trust me on that.
Getting up to the sound of traffic, I had a shower and changed into my
well used, but durable hiking gear and checked out of my hotel. I
brought enough food to last for my planned length in the Urals and took
a bus to the outskirts of the mountains, as close as I could get to
them by road anyway. Taking a few photos out of habit, I put my camera
away and started my hike.
I made good progress the first few days. I passed organised tour groups
going up. Id been on them before and enjoyed them, but wanted to do my
own thing too much. I pitched my tent and boiled water for coffee while
eating some of the food id brought with me. I turned on my DVD cam and
did some panning footage of the area and my campsite, for my website.
The quiet out here, especially as it got dark, was amazing, I felt like
I was the only one out here.
The next day, I got the feeling that I was being watched, but ignored
it as best I could. Hiking through the forest, I took my time, I had
two more weeks here and was determined to make the most of them. My
footsteps took me towards what looked like an abandoned base, a Russian
one that was put here during the cold war perhaps. As I pitched my tent
again and took some footage of it, I resolved to explore it tomorrow
and got warm in my sleeping bag.
Excited sounding voices in Russian woke me as daylight streamed into my
tent. I struggled to move and talk as I was dragged out of my tent and
looked up to see the wrong end of at least 5 ak47s pointed at me. My
mouth went dry and my heart pounded as I kept my hands in plain sight.
I sat there as they went through my tent, finding my passport, visa and
other documents easily. As they took my camera as well, I asked them to
be carefull with it, then felt pain go through my head as one of them
hit me with the butt of his AK. Darkness claimed me as I fell to the
ground.
My head was pounding as I woke up, hoping that it was all just a bad
nightmare, I lifted my head up to find that I was in an office, a
plushly decorated office. Photos and framed citations were on the
walls, as they were all in Cyrillic lettering, I couldn't read any of
it, but quickly realised that I was in the office of the commanding
officer, whoever he was. There weren't any bases, hidden or otherwise
out here in the Urals, as far as I knew, I hadn't trespassed on any
private property, so why had I been dragged out of my tent like that.
"Ah, I see your awake at last, my men don't know when to hold back
sometimes," I heard a voice say in Russian accented English say to me,
then came in sight and sat at his desk in front of me. My wrists were
cuffed behind me, and I was seated in a chair in front of him. He
looked to be about 45 to 50, in a Russian officers uniform. The two
stars on his shoulders let me know that he was a major general, pretty
high up.
"This is all just a big mistake, really, I wasn't doing anything
illegal or trespassing, I'm just out hiking the Urals," I told him as
he stared back at me, then took my documents and camera from a bag on
his desk.
"Really, then why aren't you with a group, and going the prescribed
routes that the groups take," he asked me as he looked through the
memory of my camera.
"I've done that before, but, I wanted to go off the beaten track, I
wanted to see more, that's why I'm out here," I told him as he looked
at my passport, then back at me.
"You aren't here to spy on us, you have a lot of footage of our base,
of the way here, you cant have come here by accident," he said almost
as if he said it was true, it was.
"But I did, really, I'm not spying for anyone, and get footage on what
base, the base I took footage of there is abandoned, it looks that way
anyway," I told him as he shook his head. "No, you're here spying on
us, on our projects. I could kill you, but.. I have a better idea,
you'll find out first hand what we're working on out here," he said to
me as I was pulled to my feet and bent over his table.
He talked quickly in Russian to someone out of sight. I couldn't
understand a word of it, but I wish now that id taken some more
advanced Russian language courses. "Let me go, come on, this is a big
mistake, a big one, I'm not with any spy organisation, I'm telling you
the truth," I pleaded with them as my right arm was turned to expose
my arteries and veins, then I cried out as I was injected with
something, right in my arm. Bucking and crying out in pain, I tried to
pull away, kick them, anything as it felt like I was being injected
with liquid fire.
Blinking away tears and shaking as the burning heat went up my arm, I
closed my eyes as I felt another needle being stuck into me, but in my
left ass cheek, suddenly felt tired. I heard the general talking to me,
but couldn't make out the words as I passed out over the desk.
I don't know how long I was unconscious for, a day, a week, I have no
idea. The first thing I realised when I woke up was that I was laying
on a comfortable bed. Had it all been a bad dream, the rude awakening
by the red army, the major general who questioned me. I wanted it to be
just a dream as I opened my eyes and took in the room I was in.
I was laying on a king size bed in a darkened room, light was faintly
showing through a shuttered window as I sat up on the bed, then felt
long hair brush against my cheek and nose. Brushing it aside, I froze
as I didn't have long hair, it had always been too much trouble to
manage. My body felt different somehow, my balance felt off as I stood
up and walked into an ensuite bathroom and turned on the light, I
nearly screamed as I saw my reflection.
Instead of the almost ruggedly handsome 6ft fit male reflection I had
seen for my 30 years, a shorter female reflection stared back at me. I
blinked as she blinked, then realised that something serious had been
done to me while I was unconscious. The petite woman staring back at me
had long midnight black hair past my shoulders and down her back, her
eyes were blue and scared, glancing down at my body. I guessed that I
was about 5ft 4inches tall, wearing a white silk chemise and as I
lifted up the hem, white silk and lace French cut panties, exactly what
I liked to see on a woman, but not on me.
Looking back up at the mirror, I took a better look at my new face, I
had a definite feminine Russian look to me. Cute, full lips, an
upturned delicate nose, razor thin eyebrows. The pair of breasts rising
and falling under my chemise had to be 34D at least. I slowly reached
up and cupped them, feeling their weight as I stepped away from the
mirror, noticing only then that I walked in a high stepping toe-first
way, like a ballerina.
As I tried to walk as I normally did, I felt more fustrated, did all
women walk like this, I asked myself as I walked to the window and
opened the shutters to see where I was. I gasped as I saw familiar
trees and high peaks outside, I was still in the Ural Mountains, most
likely at the 'abandoned base' that I camped near.
As I explored the room, I tried the door and found it locked, then
noticed the CCTV camera in the corner of the room, recording
everything. Looking up at it, I gave it a universal rude gesture and
continued to look for another way out. How had they done this to me,
and why.
A key turning in the locked door got my attention and I faced it as it
opened up. A young looking red army corporal looked in at me, then
nodded to someone outside, he parted as the general that had questioned
me walked in. turning on the lights, he sat down on the bed and patted
the space next to him.
"No, you tell me why you did this," I said to him, them stopped as I
heard my new voice, a higher pitched feminine alto. My hand went to my
throat as he smiled and patted the bed again. "I promise I wont bite
little one, I can answer your questions, you will have a lot of
adjustments to get used to, one of which is being with me, so you may
as well start now," he told me as I walked over to him and sat next to
him.
"How are you feeling, are you in any pain, how are your memories, are
they intact as well," he asked me as I looked away and nearly jumped as
he rested his hand on my smooth thigh. "No, I'm not in any pain, and my
memories are intact, why do you care anyway," I told him as his hand
caressed back and forth along my thigh, which made me feel
uncomfortable.
"Despite what you think, I'm not a sadist, I don't enjoy causing anyone
pain, some parts of the change are painful, I wanted to spare you that,
that's why you were sedated before you were injected with the serum. I
know you must be scared, unused to the body and face you now posess,
first, let me introduce myself, my name is General Yuri Verdikov, I've
been in the Red Army since I was 17, all my life I have served my
country proudly. I love my country and will do whatever I can to make
it a world leader again, as it was in the times of Stalin, Gorbachev,
even Brezhnev. The West may not have liked Brezhnev, but while he lead,
Russia had true stability."
"After the fall of Communism, we lost that power, Putin is making this
country great again, to that end, we cant rule with just military
power, but also in the sciences. That's why this base was reactivated
and staffed, the lower levels have many science labs where the latest
breakthroughs are researched and tested before going before the world,
one of these breakthroughs is nanite technology, you know of this," he
asked me as I crossed my legs and took in what he had said to me.
"Yes, I know of it, millions of tiny machines, programmed to attack
cancers, repair damage, whatever they're programmed to do, why, is that
what you injected me with," I asked him as he almost looked impressed
by my knowledge.
"Yes, a more stable version than the ones we have given in the past,
mainly to prisoners serving life sentences, they were promised their
freedom if they participated in tests, the results were in most cases,
unstable, and they died. But it has been improved since then. You were
given billions of nanites and injections of female hormones to change
your body and face to that which you have now. You have the body and
face of my former mistress, Tatiana Ozerov."
"We first met when I was in Moscow to be promoted to Brigadier General.
She was working in a club, I saw her and knew I had to have her, I was
at a different base then, but I was still lonely. It didn't take long
for her to come with me. I gave her a lifestyle that any other Russian
girl would envy, luxurious clothes, lingerie, opera and ballet shows,
she wanted for nothing, all I craved was her companionship. She would
wait for me in our quarters, wearing whatever sexy lingerie I had
bought for her, or nothing at all. I loved her, as her parents had died
years before, she had no ties to her town, or even to Moscow."
"I was assigned here 4 years ago to oversee the top secret projects
here, including the Nanite project, the KGB started it up, and its
existed since then. Only recently has more progress been made. This is
a more extreme use for it, but if they are capable of this, it's
capable of being put to more simple medical uses. You are proof that
its stable, you have been unconscious for a week, we had to run tests
on you, but, your in perfect health, as healthy as any other 23yo woman
is," he told me as I leaned forward and pressed a hand against my
chest. My heart pounded faster and faster as I feared that I'd never be
male again.
"Can it be reversed, I don't want to be female the rest of my life," I
told him as he held me close to him. My emotions and hormones were
going crazy as I took all this in. "No, changing someone from male to
female is easy, but the reverse isn't so easy. We all start out as
female, it just takes the addition of the y chromozone to change a
foetus from female to male, that's what the researchers told me. The
Nanites you were injected with had her DNA in them. But even if it
could be reversed, I wouldn't allow it, I miss my Tatiana too much."
"You see, 2 years ago, Tatiana died from a brain anyrism. I felt lost
without her, she helped to make my postings pleasant, and even helped
to solve any problems that I had. She always seemed to have an answer
for whatever problem I was facing."
"I blamed myself until I found out how she died, then I vowed somehow
to bring her back."
"I'm offering you a life of comfort, luxury, the world at your
fingertips, I know it's a shock, but you will adapt. You will wear the
best lingerie, gowns, leather gear. Her wardrobe will be made available
to you, outwardly you are her, inwardly, in your head, you aren't, but
that will change. You will be put through and intensive Russian
language course. You will learn to speak, read, and write fluently in
Russian. You will learn the skills all women have, how to apply make
up, style your hair, coordinate colors and styles, how to walk
flawlessly in even the highest heels."
"You will come to love your life here, you will have full run of the
base, but not allowed access to the grounds, not until you can be
trusted not to try to escape. You will wear sensual attire at all
times, dresses, skirts, tops and heels. No jeans or shorts, Tatiana
never wore them, so neither will you. You will learn to talk in a
perfect Russian accent, I may have you learn another language or two,
Mandarin or maybe French."
I think he saw that I was panicing because he sat back down from pacing
and softly caressed my shoulders and slender arm as tears filled my
eyes. I saw my freedom being taken away, my dreams of hiking Everest,
gone in the guilded cage that was my new life here. "Sshhh, its ok my
love, everything will be ok, just relax, work with me, in time, I will
take you with me on my travels. Business does take me off the base to
Moscow or St Petersberg, China as well, so please don't do anything
drastic."
"I know you must be hungry, I'll have a soldier bring in some food for
you, I have a very good chef here, Tatiana loved his cooking, and I
know you will too, promise you wont do anything crazy," he asked me as
his hand moved down to my left breast and caressed it, drawing a soft
moan from my lips. "You see, you will love being Tatiana," he told me
before getting up and walking from the room.
An hour later, I was thinking about what he had said while tucking into
Filet Mignon and the best wine id ever tasted. I'd never liked it
before, but I seemed to have a taste for it. I'd glimpsed the label on
the bottle before it was taken away, Chateau Lafite '77, a good year
and vintage.
Could I really do this, could I really live the sheltered, pampered
life of a Russian generals mistress. It was an alien lifestyle to me,
but I'd prided myself on my adaptability and durability, I could endure
anything. I did like the idea of learning Russian, id always wanted to
learn a second language, now it looked like I had no choice but to
learn one, or even two.
Within a minute of me finishing my meal, the door was unlocked again
and my dishes were taken out. A captain took me out and down a hallway,
we passed other soldiers and they all glanced at me as they passed me,
I couldn't blame them really, as I was in just the silk chemise and
French cut panties, with the face and body of a Russian beauty to go
with them.
I followed him to another level and wing of the base, it truly was big.
Stopping in front of a door with Cyrillic lettering on it and a
butterfly just above the writing, the captain unlocked it and let me
in. I glanced at his AK as I walked in but didn't dare go for it. I
turned the light on and as he closed the door behind me, I stared wide
eyed at Tatiana's quarters.
Quarters didn't even begin to describe it, it encompassed two enormous
rooms. The one I was standing in was clearly the living/entertainment
room, a plasma TV, leather couches, framed art prints, and photos of
Tatiana and the general decorated the room. Plush white carpet under my
feet completed the look and was soft on my bare feet. Walking through
to the bedroom, I stopped again. Tatiana's boudoir was like something
out of a movie. A four poster canopy bed dominated the room, lavender
coloured silk sheets covered the bed, and see through silk hung from
the canopies. A well stocked dressing table was against one wall, with
a door next to that and another not far from the bed. Opening up the
one next to the dressing table, I gasped as it was a walk in wardrobe.
More outfits than I could count hung inside, silk and satin gowns,
nighties, skirts in silk, satin and leather, tailored jackets and a few
leather jackets. Silk and cotton blouses. Two uniform jackets hung up
next to what were now my leather jackets.
Arrayed along the floor were at least 30 pairs of heels, leather boots,
knee and calf high with 3 to 4in heels on them, 3 pairs of ankle boots,
pumps, sandals. They were clearly all for me to wear, to be seen in and
show off.
Finding a white silk bathrobe from one of the hangars, I slipped my
arms into it and did up the sash around my slender waist. It only came
down to mid thigh, but I felt more covered up.
Walking out to the other unexplored door, I opened it up and walked in
to see that it was a bathroom, a lavish one too, all marble, with brass
fittings and expensive toiletries on the shelves. A clawfoot bath and
tub sized shower stall dominated the room. "Just what have I gotten
myself into here," I asked myself as I tested for dust or dirt, but
found none, I couldn't fault the cleaning service on the base.
Unsure if I was being watched even in here, I turned on the water in
the shower stall, then took off my bathrobe, chemise and panties.
Getting the water to a comfortable temperature, I stood under it and
sighed as it hit the top of my head and flowed down my sensual body.
The nanites I had been injected with had done their work well. It was
perfect in every way, from my firm breasts and trim belly to my hips
and smooth thighs. Running my fingers through my long hair, I took a
bar of soap from the holder near the taps and looked at the name and
brand on it, Savon de Marseille, an expensive French brand. Taking it
out of the wrapper, I lathered up my hands and rubbed it over my
shoulders and down my body.
Its scent reached my nose as I stood under the water, getting as clean
as I can. I felt the need to stay clean, if I was to be his mistress, I
would have to not only look my best, but smell my best as well.
Rubbing a combination shampoo and conditioner through my long hair, I
closed my eyes and let the water run over it. Steam from the shower
filled the stall as I rubbed more soap down over my hips and down my
thighs. My soft touch over my body started to arouse me, hoping that I
wasn't being watched, my fingers traced up my thighs to my smooth pussy
and traced around it, sending shivers through me. Part of me wanted
this while another part wanted me to stop immediately, I didn't want to
stop and rubbed over my labia and clit as well. The shock that went
through me nearly made me fall to the marble floor of the shower.
Forcing myself to stay up, my finger again moved to my clit and stroked
it, my nail running over it sent more shocks through me as it was
coaxed out from under its hood. Leaning in the corner of the shower,
one hand concentrated on my throbbing, aroused pussy while the other
moved up to my breasts and rubbed my nipples. It didn't take long
before they swelled up. My moans soon filled the bathroom as I bucked
against my fingers and shook in pure extasy.
As I reached my first orgasm as a woman, I tried to stiffle my scream,
but couldn't as I shuddered and slid down the wall to the tiles. Waves
of extasy went through me as I sat there, my fingers still stroking my
swollen pussy lips as I rode my orgasm. It took a while for me to be
able to stand up again, but I did and turned off the water. If that was
what a female orgasm was like, I was going to want more of them.
Patting my soft skin dry with the towel, I dried my hair as best I
could and changed back into the white silk panties and chemise, putting
the bathrobe back on as well, I walked to the window and looked out at
the forest. It was dark outside, did anyone out there know I was even
missing, could I really become Tatiana Ozerov. Those questions went
through my head as I settled under the soft sheets and curled up, the
robe draped over a chair as I fell asleep to the sounds coming in from
outside.
The sound of an alarm woke me up from a deep sleep, as I rubbed my eyes
and sat up, I stretched and glanced down at my body. The sight of my
breasts rising and falling under the chemise let me know that it hadn't
been a dream. Id really been given the sexy, petite body of a Russian
generals dead mistress. As I sat there, I heard the door to my quarters
open and the same captain that had taken me here last night walked into
sight. "Breakfast will be served in one hour, be ready," he told me,
then walked back out and locked the door behind him.
"Well, id better not disappoint him," I said to myself as I slipped out
from under the sheets and padded into the bathroom. Running a warm
shower, I tried to hold back from stroking my sensitive pussy lips and
nipples, but couldn't. before I knew it, I was shuddering and crying
out in the shower stall, my fingers buried inside me while my thumb
stroked my clit. My arousal overwhelmed me as I shook from my intense
orgasm, while my juices coated my fingers and ran down my skin to the
tiles underneath me.
Still shaking a bit as I stood back up, I turned the water off and
stepped out of the shower. Drying myself again, I wrapped the towel
around my upper body and tucked the end between my breasts as id seen
women do, then walked out to the walk in closet. Choosing a white push
up bra and matching colored high cut lacy panties, I slipped them up
my legs to rest on my hips, then put on the bra. Hooking it in place
behind me wasn't easy, but once I'd finally done it, my breasts were
supported nicely by it. Tracing my finger over the edge of it, I knew
id never leave the room without a bra again.
Taking down a white embroidered dress from a hangar, I changed into it
and zipped it up behind me. Slim spaghetti straps over my shoulders
kept it from falling and the skirt of it stopped just above my knees.
Looking for some appropriate footwear, I saw a pair of white strappy
sandals with a 3in heel on them and slipped my feet into them. Doing up
the ankle strap, I wobbled slightly in them, but kept my balance as I
walked over to the dressing table.
Getting used to walking in heels was easier than I thought. Was it
muscle memory or the toe first way I walked, either way, I would adapt,
I loved life too much to give up on it. Sitting down at the dressing
table, I brushed my long jet black hair back and put it in a loose
ponytail behind me as id done on the few occasions in the past where I
had had long hair, then looked down at the array of make up on the
table.
Before I could reach for anything, my door was unlocked again and a
pretty female soldier was let in. "Tatiana, the general told me to help
you with your make up, and show you how to apply it for yourself, I'm
Ona," she told me as she applied foundation to my face, then eyeshadow
and eyeliner, deep red lipstick was applied to my lips, the eyeshadow
made me look sultry and mysterious. This was how she had gained the
attention of the general in the first place, I thought to myself as
clip on earrings were clipped to my earlobes. "He said to tell you that
you would have your ears pierced twice tomorrow, along with your belly
button and tongue," she told me as I sat there in shock. Piercings, the
only ones id ever had before was my left ear. I held back my comment
and watched her work on my hair, brushing and putting the top part in a
braid that ran down my neck. I knew that I could do this, I had always
been a fast learner, I would adapt and survive whatever was thrown at
me.
After she applied perfume to my wrists, the side of my neck and between
my breasts, she softly kissed me and walked out. I was amazed by my
reflection, I looked sexy and sultry with my make up on. The sound of
the door opening up again woke me up from my daze. The scent of fresh
toast and scrambled eggs got my attention as well.
A full continental style breakfast was set up on the coffee table
waiting for me. As my stomach rumbled, I sat down and started on the
warm toast and eggs. The eggs and toast filled me even as I tried the
coffee, just what I needed to wake me up and get me ready for the
coming day.
My training started that very day. I was taught basic Russian at first,
then more advanced. The TV in my quarters only screened Russian TV
shows, to urge me to learn faster or fustrate me, I don't know. I was
given books in Cyrillic that I couldn't read, but soon would be able
to. The promise to pierce my ears, belly button and tongue were real,
and I soon had a hoop earring hanging from each ear, and studs through
the top hole. A barbell was put through my belly button and a tongue
stud was put through my tongue the same day.
I was constantly bombarded with Russian, I learned the words for
letters, phrases, and worked up to longer sentences. I was soon
speaking in a sexy Russian accent from talking in Russian so much. I
learned to read Russian children's books first, then worked my way up
to bigger books. I held on to my English skills as much as I could, but
found it easier to read Cyrillic lettering. As I got better, I got more
privileges, was allowed out onto the grounds, and was allowed to access
more TV channels. I found some English ones and eagerly listened to
them.
Even though I kept my English skills up, I learned more and more
Russian, I even began to think in Russian. My hoop earrings were
replaced with 18ct yellow gold and diamond earrings during one of our
walks through the base, and after answering every question he asked me
on Russian history, all in fluent, accented Russian, my stud earrings
were swapped for 18ct white gold and diamond earrings. My heart pounded
faster as he showed them to me, they had to be worth over 15 thousand,
he then leaned close to me and kissed me. Closing my eyes, I moaned
softly and returned his kiss. My nipples hardened up under my bra as my
mind was conflicted by the female hormones rushing through my body. His
strong arms supported me and caressed down my sides to cup my firm as
cheeks and lifted me up.
My thighs wrapped around him, and my slender arms went around his neck
as we continued to kiss. The heels of my ankle boots spurred him on as
I dug them into his back. Our tongues touched and interwined as we
gazed deep into each others eyes. He carried me to his own quarters and
placed me on his bed, his quarters were as big as mine, but stocked
with more equipment. He worked out on the base gym and had me do
aerobics in another part of the gym. As I stretched and kept my trim
figure, I couldn't help but watch him as he ran on one of the
treadmills and lifted weights.
He was fit and healthier than men a decade younger than him, and I knew
it. He helped me out of my jacket and peeled my short sleeved tshirt up
my slender body and dropped it on the floor. Smiling up at him, I
cupped my breasts and circled around my nipples as he took in my
feminine beauty. He soon had me out of my skirt and panties, then had
me undress him. I felt more at ease doing this after being female for
over a year now, and helped him out of his uniform jacket and
unbuttoned his shirt. Kissing up his chest, I giggled softly and undid
his pants to let them fall around his ankles.
He kicked them off, then had me straddle him on the bed. Lining up his
hardening cock with my bare pussy, he rubbed the head over my pussy
lips and savored my gasp as they swelled up and glistened. He took his
time, getting me worked up and eager to accept his cock inside me. I
couldn't talk as the head of his cock slid past my swollen pussy lips
and deep into me. Tossing my head back and forth, I cried out louder
and louder in extasy. His cock throbbed deep inside me as I was guided
and rode it.
My pussy seemed to know exactly what to do and gripped it as I writhed
and moaned in extasy. My juices coated his thick cock as he turned
over, with me underneath him as he slid his cock deeper into me. My
eyes glazed over as wave after wave of pleasure went through me.
Something was changing deep inside me, the part that had resisted, that
cried out for escape and to return to my old life. That part of me was
vanishing the closer I got to my impending orgasm.
Screaming and writhing underneath him, I shook and rode him as I
orgasmed. His throbbing cock made it more intense as I gripped the
sheets tightly in my hands. Barely 20 seconds later, he orgasmed as
well, spurting his cum deep inside me, making me a complete woman. As
he held me in his arms, I tried to talk, but couldn't as he softly
caressed me and kissed my temples.
I didn't have to worry about getting pregnant, he had me on birth
control pills, even if he hadn't ordered me to take them, I still would
have taken them. The thought of getting pregnant, giving birth, scared
me. Women scream and curse during their deliveries with good reason.
As I recovered and lay next to him, he teased my nipples and reached
for something under the bed. As he gave it to me, I saw that it was a
small rectangular box, inside was a silver vibrator and a pink dildo.
"I want you to practise on the dildo Tatiana, practise sucking on it.
The vibrator is yours as well," he told me as I picked it out of the
box and imagined myself orgasming from it. I was more at ease with it
now than I would have been a month ago. As he watched on, I took out
the dildo and guided it into my mouth. Wrapping my lips around the
head, I slid it back and forth into my mouth. It glistened with my
saliva as I worked it deeper into my mouth. I bucked as it slid in deep
enough to trigger my gag reflex and shook as I took it back out.
"Its ok Tatiana, its new to you, but practise a lot with it, when you
share my bed and wake up before me, I want you to wake me up by
suckling on my cock. I may ask you to do it for certain visitors as
well, do it for me," he asked me as he softly stroked my clit and
elicited moans from my throat again.
Sliding it into my warm mouth again, my tongue stud clicked along it. I
continued to slide it back and forth into my mouth as he watched on. He
watched me almost all night as I got better and better, then he had me
take the real thing in his mouth. Gazing up at his face, my smouldering
gaze met his as my lips slid back and forth along his throbbing shaft.
I swirled my tongue around and around it as he moaned and lay back on
the bed, aroused and squirming as my lips and tongue worked their
magic.
I felt more natural doing this the longer I did it, as I slid my lips
all the way down his shaft, I felt his cock throb and spurt his thick
cum into my mouth. Not daring to pull away or spit it out, I forced
myself to swallow it down. It was thick and salty, but I swallowed it
all down, then licked his cock clean.
I woke the next morning to find myself in my own bed, a red rose on the
pillow next to me and a note in Cyrillic, thanking me for last night
and that he was on his way to Moscow on family business. It said to
behave and not cause trouble while he was away. I smiled and giggled
softly at that, then got up to have a shower. Feeling daring, I changed
into a white g string, a white satin and lacy corset, thigh high
stockings and matching 5in ankle boots. Styling my hair and expertly
applying make up, I was waiting when my breakfast was brought in. The
corporal bringing it in nearly dropped the tray as he saw me. Smiling
sensuously at him, I thanked him and leaned closer to kiss him.
As he walked away, I sat down knowing that he was retreating with a
hard on, and started on my breakfast. I'd been having more and more
traditional Russian food lately. One of them was blin, a pancake with
honey and some red caviar added. Another traditional Russian food I'd
had more of was seledka pod shuboi, translated, its salted herring in a
fur coat, a very delicious combination of fish, beetroot, boiled egg
and mayonnaise. That, coupled with domashni piroshki, homemade pies,
ensured I was always full.
As I enjoyed my blin and bacon strips, I crossed my long legs and read
through a paper that had been left for me on the breakfast tray. It was
in Cyrillic lettering, but by now, I could read it fluently as if I had
always known it. It was hard to believe that I had been on this base
for 14 months, it was December 2008 now. Gazing from my slender fingers
to my breasts supported by my corset, I hoped that my family had moved
on.
I stayed in my boudoir most of that week, lounging in my lingerie and
following the news on the TV and papers. I only left to walk through
the base and do my aerobics in the base gym. Any soldiers that were
working out or exercising watched me but never tried to take me for
themselves. The exits were guarded and had a fingerprint ID pad by the
doors, so even if I could slip past them, I couldn't get out.
I had begun to learn Spanish the same way id learned Russian, once id
learned another language, learning another one wasn't too hard. Spanish
was a language I knew id use more than any other. Maybe the nanites
that had given me this new body had altered my learning process, I
picked things up faster than I can remember before I arrived in Russia.
The day that my general came back, I was resting on his bed, wearing
only a pink satin g string, matching bra and 4in pumps. Laying on my
stomach, I leaned my calves back and forth as I followed his footsteps
and winked up at him as he stood in the doorway. My hair was freshly
washed and brushed back, and my make up was flawless as he smiled back
at me and waited for me to come to him. Hopping off the bed, I walked
up to him and stood up on tiptoes to kiss him. My arms wrapped around
his shoulders as his wrapped around my slender waist. The constant
click of my heels on the floors was a reminder of what I was, my firm
breasts were pressed against his breasts as he took in my sweet scent
and fondled my firm ass as well.
Pulling away from him, I walked over to a side table and returned with
a shot glass in each hand, filled with vodka for a toast to properly
welcome him back. Handing him one glass, we toasted and skulled them,
swallowing the contents in one swallow. To my credit, I didn't cough or
splutter from the taste. I'd been having it semi regularly and was used
to it by now. I refilled the glasses and we toasted again.
I could see the happiness in his eyes as I acted and talked like any
other Russian girl. Before I knew it, he had hoisted me over his
shoulder and spanked me as he carried me over to the bed and dumped me
on it. Laughing and protesting, he pulled me back as I tried to crawl
away and pinned me underneath him. My wrists above me in one of his
hands while the other softly stroked my neck and chin.
"My sweet Tatiana, your truly back, now, before we proceed, a history
lesson," he said as he kept me pinned underneath him. "When did Lev
Trotsky die?"
"1940," I answered without hesitation. "What did Khrushchev extol the
most?"
"Maize," I again answered correctly.
"Lastly my princess, when did the Romanov dynasty end?"
"In March 1917," I answered him.
He then proceeded to undress and bring me to more orgasms than I could
count, we didn't leave the bedroom for at least 6 hours. My endurance
matched his as the air around us filled with the scent of our couplings
and my musky scent. We only stirred as dinner was brought in, smoked
sturgeon, potato salad, mushrooms in sour cream, goats cheese and black
caviar.
The latter was something I was getting a taste for. Caviar was one of
Russia's top exports, right up there with AK47's and suicidal
novelists.
After our dishes were taken out, he then turned me over on the bed and
slid his cock into me from behind. The feeling of being penetrated by
his thick cock was something id come to love, at first it had scared
me, made me feel submissive, now it empowered me. He treasured me and
would do nearly anything for me. That was a woman's power, a power I
was wielding like a pro.
Not long after he returned, he took me down to the base firing range.
Wearing white silk stockings, leather boots with a 2in heel, a short
leather skirt, white top and a black leather jacket, I stood apart from
the other soldiers in the range, all in uniform. At a signal from him,
they finished up and left, giving us privacy in here.
"I never got the chance to teach Tatiana to learn to shoot, I wanted
to, but now I can." Taking a pistol from one of the cabinets near the
firing line, he handed it to me. "This is a Browning high power, it
takes 13 9mm rounds and is my own personal weapon of choice," he told
me as he showed me how to load it and chamber a round. I felt even more
empowered as I held a loaded pistol in my hand for the first time.
The thought of using it on him or threatening him with it entered my
mind for a second, then I discarded it and aimed at the target in front
of me. He stood behind me and reached around to get my grip right and
had me hold the butt with both hands. He then put on earplugs and
tinted glasses, and put some on me as well. Flicking the safety off as
he showed me that too, I squeezed the trigger and nearly dropped the
gun as the recoil was stronger than I thought.
"Easy Tatiana, easy, hold onto it, and squeeze the trigger, don't yank
it, squeeze it. Even as I was nervous, I smiled and pulled the trigger
again, my shot went through the edge of the target this time. Laughing
as I was enjoying myself, I squeezed the trigger again and again,
sending most of my shots into the circles on the paper target. As he
took the empty pistol from me and checked it, I could feel his crotch
pressing against my leather clad butt.
He waited as I reloaded it, then fired again, I stood with my feet
spread and held the gun tightly, before I knew it the gun was empty
again. Excited and wanting more, I checked the pistol was empty, then
turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck excitedly, "I want to
fire something else, what else can I fire," I almost pleaded with him
as he gazed down at me.
"How about an AK47, I'll bet you've never fired one of them before," he
asked me as he left with the pistol and returned with a well cleaned
AK47. This was a dream come true, I'd seen them in so many movies but
never thought id ever fire one, unless I went to Vietnam or joined the
Mujehadeen.
It was a simple enough weapon, I learned fast and inserted the curved
clip into the assault rifle and chambered a round. He stayed behind me
and had me press the butt to my shoulder. "It will kick more than the
pistol, its on single shot, for now," smiling eagerly, I held the AK
and squeezed the trigger. I winced as it did kick and push back on my
shoulder. He tried to take it from me but I held onto it tightly. "No,
I can do it, I want to," I nearly pleaded with him. "Ok Tatiana, fire
again," he said as I aimed the ak at the new target and pulled the
trigger. I saw the bullet hit its target, then pulled it again and
again. When he saw I had the hang of it, he had me change the fire
lever to semi auto, then held me as I fired off three round bursts, one
after another. Before I knew it, I had emptied the magazine.
"I think that's enough for now, maybe next time I'll let you fire it
off at full auto outside. For now, I want to take you back to my
quarters, I have a gift for you," he told me as he put the weapons
back, then lead me by the hand up two levels to his room. Guiding me in
and having me sit down on the bed, I automatically crossed my long legs
as he took out a small red box and opened it up to show me the
contents, an 18ct white gold and diamond cross pendant.
I stared wide eyed at it as he let my fingers gently run over it, then
took it out of the box and placed it around my slender neck. "For you
my love, without you in my life, I wouldn't be where I am today," he
softly told me as he kissed me, then gave me a bigger box. Unsure if
the contents were more jewellery, I opened it up and gasped in
happiness and shock. Inside were blocks of Cadbury chocolate and
caramello koalas, Australian chocolates that I'd missed a lot out here.
"Where did you get all this," I asked him as I bit into one of the
caramello koalas and savored the caramel and creamy chocolate that
covered it. "I have friends, as you say, I know a guy who knows a guy,"
he said with a smile and watched me eat.
Life continued as normal for several more months. I wore more and more
of the outfits hanging up in my wardrobe, completed my Spanish language
lessons and was as fluent in Spanish as I was in Russian. It turned out
Tatiana was a Russian orthodox, and my studies increased even more. Id
never been a huge religious person, but I was fast becoming one. I got
to know several of the officers posted here well and helped them with
problems just as I helped my general out, how to celebrate an
anniversary, what to get a wife or girlfriend back home. I even gave
advice to my general in a few meetings that I was invited to. I could
see second options and alternatives where the present military minds
couldn't see them.
One night after one particularly long meeting, he told me to pack for a
trip to Moscow, he was giving a speech there for a new war memorial and
wanted me to go with him. Nearly screaming in excitement at the thought
of getting off the base and seeing the outside world, I lept on him
and kissed him as he nearly fell backwards. Thanking and kissing him, I
nearly ran to my quarters and began to pack. Several dresses and
skirts, blouses, light and thicker hose for my legs, as I still wasn't
allowed to wear pants of any kind. I didn't mind that though, I loved
showing my legs off. Packing make up and toiletries as well, I added 4
pairs of pumps and heels. The next morning we were driven to
Yekaterinburg, then boarded the trans-Siberian train to Moscow.
I had never been to Moscow before, I had planned to after camping in
the Urals, now I would be seeing it. I could barely sit still on the
train ride in a private rail car. My general did his best by holding me
on his lap and fingering my pussy, making me lean back and moan in
sweet pleasure. He kept me as occupied as he could on the train ride.
On arrival in Moscow, we were picked up by a limo and taken to our
hotel. Only the best for General Verdikov and his niece, we were told
as we were lead in, then up to our hotel room. Even though I was
wearing a wool skirt, my warmest tights, felt lined boots, a long
sleeved t shirt and my fav leather jacket, I caught everyone's
attention. I was used to the attention that I got and swayed my hips as
I walked with my general to the elevator. Even he smiled as he saw what
I was doing, putting on a show for everyone watching me.
After unpacking in our room, I was lifted up over his shoulder and
dropped onto the bed. Laughing and squealing as he pulled me back
towards him and spanked me, he undressed me and we christened the bed.
I stiffled my moans and cries as best I could, but failed most of the
time as he brought me to orgasm after orgasm.
The next day he took me through Moscow, showing me the sights, the KGB
headquarters. We were shown through by an ex KGB member. As he showed
us the equipment and exhibits set up, I wondered what he had done here.
I half expected to see james bond strung up and being questioned, but
was sadly disappointed.
Next was Lenin's mausoleum, home of the creator of communism. We were
given a private showing, one of the perks of being with a visiting
general I guess. He lay there under the glass, wearing an outdated
suit, but looked as if he was just sleeping. It was eerie, just by
looking at him, I could see how he had been able to do what he did,
having some tatar blood in him had given him what he needed.
Red square was next, so much history here, open air markets, huge
marches and arms displays for Stalin, Khrushchev, Gorbachev, It was
even in the movie the saint. With my arm around his, we walked through
the city, he seemed to enjoy the fact that he had to hold me and wrap
his coat around me. My thick stockings kept my legs warm enough as we
walked. We ate at an upscale resturant called U Pirosmani, a new
Georgian restaurant that had been open for a while now. Wearing a black
cocktail dress, French cut panties, sheer hose and 3in strappy heels, I
was drawn to the elaborately painted interior as we were seated.
Crossing my long legs and smoothing my skirt down as I took in the
interior, Yuri ordered for us. A good Georgian wine was the first to
arrive, which he poured into two glasses and gave one to me.
"To us, may we spend many more years together, and may your beauty grow
ever more," he softly said to me before toasting. As I sipped the wine,
I glanced around and asked him if I was invited to the unveiling
tomorrow. "Of course, that's one reason that I took you with me, that,
and I wanted to show you Moscow. I interrupted your travels, and this
is one way of making it up to you. You havn't tried to escape, or fight
me, I told you I wasn't a bad person.
I will show you more of Russia, Kiev, the black sea, St Petersberg,
even Europe. Wherever work takes me or I want to take you.," he told me
as he took hold of my hand and leaned over to kiss me. His lips felt
good against mine. Being kissed by a man felt like the most natural
thing in the world by now. Dinner arrived within minutes, it consisted
of basturma (spicy salted and smoked meat, saluguni (salted cheese),
and red lobito (beans). It came with a side order of khachapuri, which
I found out was a roll stuffed with cheese, and flavoured with bazha
sauce.
I ate everything and savored every mouthfull, we talked as we ate, he
told me about where he grew up, where he had been stationed, and then
asked about me, not Tatiana, Scott, the man that I had been before I
woke up as the sexy temptess Tatiana. As he refilled my glass, I began
to tell him about myself, the various places I had lived and travelled
to, about my extended family, the values that they instilled in me.
We talked for over an hour before we stood up and went back to our
hotel, but not before walking alongside the Moskva river, taking in the
beauty of it and the city. The next day, I had a shower and changed
into the clothes that I had packed for just this occasion, a cream
colored tailored jacket and skirt, white silk blouse, lingerie, white
silk thigh highs and 4in heels. I was delayed in the shower when the
general joined me, it was a tight fit for two in there but I think
that's the point.
I brushed and styled my long hair, and applied a light coat of make up
while he finished his shower. When he came out, I helped him into his
uniform and even helped him with his tie. I was more used to putting
one on myself than helping someone else with one like this, but like
men zipping up the back of a womans gown, I did the opposite for a man
and did his tie up for him. Putting the strap of my bag over my
shoulder, we kissed again, then he lead me out of the hotel room and
downstairs to meet the car sent for us.
The unveiling went well, present were politicians, other officers,
family members and war veterans. As the monument was shown to everyone,
we all broke out in applause, myself included. Even his speech went
perfectly, and it should have, I helped him word it. We mingled and
talked with everyone afterwards, with me by his side, I met a lot of
people I normally would never have met. They all kissed me on both
cheeks and told him how lucky he was to have such a beautiful niece, if
only they knew the truth, I told myself.
I met many war veterans that day. Russia respects its war veterans as
much as any other country does. I had respected my own countries
veterans and knew how hard they all fought. Later on that night, my
general and other officers that he knew or had served with went out for
drinks. I left them to it and went out with the officers wives. We went
to a nightclub called Kitaisky Lyotchik Dzhao Da. It was a popular
venue here in Moscow, we sat at the caf? there and talked while
listening to the concert going on.
I found it easier and easier to talk to them. Understanding women was
on easy feat, as I was one now, I learned more and more about what
makes them tick.
A few days later I was back in my quarters at the Ural Base. Even
though I was used to being here, being in Moscow had reminded me of
what I was missing. My general sensed that all was not well for me and
surprised me with a full body massage, manicure, pedicure, all designed
to make me relaxed and feeling like a princess. After that, I relaxed
and became my normal self.
I liked to keep busy out here, I read as many books as I can, reading
Cyrillic and Spanish books that were in the base library, along with
others that I asked for. He wanted me happy and content here. In my own
private world out here, I still read the papers and followed the news.
Some of the things that I read worried me.
A recent spate of bombings were going on around Russia and Europe,
like the London july 7 attacks, but with more co ordination. Some
civilian areas were targeted, but military bases were hit as well. No
one took credit for the attacks, were they Chechen rebels, or muslim
extremists, no one knew. It kept general Verdikov up, he went to more
meetings, ones that I weren't invited to for security reasons.
I worried for him. I felt like I was failing to keep him happy. One
night after he had returned from a vidcast meeting and was watching the
plasma tv screen in his room with me, he turned to me and held onto my
hand. "I worry for you, even out here, if I were to send you away,
somewhere far from here, away from these bombings, would you agree," he
asked me as he kissed my hand and gazed into my blue eyes. "Where would
you send me, I don't want to be away from you," I told him as I
snuggled up next to him and wrapped my slender arms around his chest.
"I know, but I fear this continent isn't safe, more bases are being
targeted, I have family in New York. If I sent you there, you would be
safe, would you not," he told me as he brushed his hand through my long
hair and along my slender neck.
"I guess I would, but, I don't want to be away from you, you need me
here," I told him as real tears filled my eyes at the thought of being
away from him.
"I know you yearn to see the world, to interact, its your nature, I do
love and treasure you, but, I want you to be safe, so I intend to fly
you to New York in 3 days time. When things calm down, I will fly you
back here to me, please do this, for me," he nearly pleaded with me as
I meekly nodded my head. I couldn't deny him anything. That night, he
carried me over his shoulder to his bed and we made passionate love,
made more intense by the knowledge that we would be parted soon. Over
and over we coupled and orgasmed, I held back nothing and collapsed in
each others arms, my breasts heaving as he kissed and suckled on my
swollen nipples.
Two days later, I was packing clothes from my wardrobe into two
suitcases, with a carry on bag already packed with Tatianas passport,
other important documents, a purse with 2 thousand in us bills in it,
and 6 thousand in a clear envelope in my bag. Funds to keep me going
while I was living in New York, he said as he gave them to me. I wore
my fav earrings, the 18ct ones that he had given me, as well as the
matching 18ct diamond cross pendant.
Changing into a knee length leather skirt, white lace and satin bra and
panties, thigh high stockings, 4in patent leather ankle boots, a silk
blouse and matching black leather jacket. I brushed my hair back and
put part of it into small braids as id been doing lately. Applying a
light coat of make up, I nearly jumped as I heard a knock at the door.
It was my general, who looked in at me and smiled at the vision that I
was. "You look beautiful Tatiana, this is how I want to remember you,"
he said as he traced a finger through my hair and softly kissed me. As
two soldiers carried my cases out, he took my slender hand and lead me
out of my quarters. Leading me to the two suitcases that were sitting
in the middle of the hallway, he sat down on one and had me sit down on
the other. I now remembered that this was a Russian tradition, to sit
on their suitcases to gather their thoughts before going on a journey.
With my carry on bag in my hand, he lead me to one of the many cars in
the motor pool and helped me inside, then got in with me. My cases were
put in the back and we were driven down the access road that led into
Yekaterinburg, to get a flight to Moscow, then an Aeroflot flight from
there to London, then a United Airlines flight from there to New York.
All through the drive to the main airport, we held each other, I took
in the scent of his aftershave while he took in the scent of my body
lotion and perfume. As the car stopped outside the airport, he walked
in with me while the two soldiers with us carried my suitcases. I
checked in and got my boarding pass, not only for the flight to Moscow,
but also for the one to London. With a visa enabling me to be in the
United States for a year, I wouldn't have any problem staying.
I went through the metal detectors but general Verdikov avoided that by
showing him his identification. All around us people were moving,
living their lives, well to do Russians and not so well to do ones. We
sat down near the gate and again held each other, checking my watch, we
kissed and took in each others touch. The announcement that my plane
was now boarding woke us both up from our daze.
"Must I go, I will miss you too much," I told him as he held him, my
arms wrapped around him while my head rested on his shoulder. "It's
where you will be safe my love, I have something for you, for you to
keep safe for me," he told me as he took something out of a top pocket
and handed it to me. As I unwrapped it, I saw that it was an ornate
cross.
"Its been in my family for over a hundred years, I don't want anything
to happen to it, keep it safe for me, can you do that," he asked me as
he kissed my forehead and ran his hands up and down along my back.
"Yes I can, I will, come with me, I know you could," I pleaded with him
as he stood there, every inch a military man. "Go with you, I would
like nothing better than to board the plane with you, but I have a duty
here, I can't avoid that, just keep that cross safe for me," he told me
as he again embraced me. Real tears filled my eyes as we hugged. I
would have held onto him for hours, but he pulled away from me and
walked me to the gate.
I somehow managed to keep my tears under control as I walked down the
passageway into the plane. Stowing my carry on bag above me, I sat near
the front, the first class section, which apart from being separated
from the rest of the plane by a curtain, didn't look that different.
Most airlines change their planes every few years. The plane I was on
had to be at least 5 to 10 years old, not a first generation plane. If
I was really lucky, it was a second generation one, or maybe was really
unlucky and it was a third generation one.
Luck was with me, the wings didn't fall off, it wasn't hijacked by
suicidal terrorists, and I we didn't pancake into the ground at
terminal velocity. Moscow airport was even more packed, but there was
someone waiting for me when I left the plane. Dressed as a civilian, he
told me he was to look after me until it was time for my Moscow-London
flight to start boarding. I got to know him very well on the 3 hour
wait, and he kept almost anyone from approaching me, most of the time I
was glad. Some of the people that approached me needed a shower, shave,
another shower, and desperately needed an image consultant.
Looking and sounding like a natural born Russian, I knew that equality
between the sexes has a long way to go in Russia, not complaining too
much, its just the way it is. But it was here that I missed my natural
accent, it would have put some off from trying to talk me into going
with them. Luckily my watcher was well trained in self defence and
putting bigger people in their places. After one particularly loud
suiter left walking funny, everyone else seemed to get the hint and
left us alone. It took a long time for 3 hours to pass, but I was glad
when it came time to board my Aeroflot flight to London.
I had never been to London airport before. After years of speaking
nothing but Russian, I had to concentrate on speaking English. I went
through immigration ok and found my way to the right gate for my next
flight. Heathrow airport was busy, but clean, oh so clean. Everyone was
dressed better and were a lot more polite. You have to love the English
for that.
Either my London watcher was late, or my general thought I would be ok
on my own here, because I was on my own. I struck up several
conversations while I was waiting. Several businessmen talked to me
while they were waiting, I let them talk about themselves, then told
them about myself, well, Tatiana anyway. Several groups of backpackers
passed us by and I almost envied them. I had been one of them only 5
years ago. There was no going back, only forward.
I bought several magazines and read them while I was waiting, then
stood up as my United Airlines announced it was boarding. As it was
taking first class passengers first, I walked up and boarded. Again, I
flew first class, it was about half full as we took off for the 8 hour
flight to JFK airport. As dinner was served, I took the cross out of my
carry on bag and put it around my neck. Between bites, I held it in my
hand and ran my fingers over the jewels on it. As I finished, my tray
was taken away and I continued to gaze down at the cross.
"Penny for your thoughts," a voice said to me from nowhere, which woke
me from my daze. The owner was sitting not far from me, he looked to be
about 30, in a well tailored suit, good looking enough.
"Sorry, my mind was elsewhere," I replied as I put the cross under my
blouse and sat back up.
"It's ok, I've flown more times than I can count and I still nod off on
these flights, I'm Chris Wincott, and you are," he asked me as he
extended his hand to me.
"I'm Tatiana," I told him as I took his hand in my slender one. "It's a
pleasure to meet you Tatiana, its good to meet a friendly Russian here,
I've been in London on business for the last 5 days, what brings you to
New York," he asked me as he took in my manicured and painted nails.
"My family is sending me to America for safety, the recent spate of
bombings has them worried, so they're sending me to stay with my
extended family until things calm down again, if ever," I told him as
he released my hand and moved closer to me.
"I don't know if America is any safer, but who am I to argue with
them, if not for the bombings, I would never have met you, I live in
New York, I'm an investment banker. I love travelling, but I miss my
own bed and townhouse," he asked me as the lights began to dim so
people could get some sleep on the plane.
"I do agree with you, I didn't want to go, but they said it was best
that I go, I can only hope that I can return home soon," I told him as
I knew I should be relaxing more, here I was, away from the base, but I
still acted and thought like a Russian woman, even here.
"I love a woman that takes pride in her appearance, you could advance
anyone's cause with you on their poster," he told me as I smiled and
thanked him. "How about we meet up later on, after your settled in new
york, id be happy to take you anywhere, I grew up in Brooklyn and know
Brooklyn and Manhattan like the back of my hand. Coney Island, I have
to show you that. Its not far from Brighton Beach, a lot of Russians
live there," he told me as I accepted a glass of cold water from a
flight attendant and leaned back in my seat.
"You don't take no for an answer do you, or stop short of what you
want," I asked him as he chuckled and reached into his pocket. "If I
took no for an answer, I wouldn't be good at my job, heres my card,
when you feel you can trust me, call me," he said as he gave me his
car.
"Very well, I will keep this close to me," I told him as I put it in my
purse and asked him if I could get some rest. He moved back to his seat
and settled in himself. Closing my eyes, I actually slept for most of
the flight. Usually I can't sleep on planes, but first class seats are
a lot more roomy and comfortable, because I slept for 5 straight hours,
and only woke up when the lights came back on. I put my seat back up

as he gave me my carry on bag and let me go ahead of him. This was one
of the perks of being female, a very good looking female at that, a lot
