Three years had past since Leslie and Dina had exchanged their vows in front of close friends and family. Nothing could have made Dina any happier then she already was. At least so she could think of, though of course there was always dreams. Some of the dreams she had shared with Leslie, others she knew would always remain just dreams and figure there was no since in sharing.
One of those dreams was to totally give into Leslie body mind and soul. Dina had as she normally did do, read a lot. Coming up on a section about branding and what it could mean between two people she thought about the level of trust that would be required. It would be the ultimate bonding and trust that Dina could show Leslie.
Approaching Leslie about branding was another story. Though one Saturday afternoon at lunch Dina brought up the subject to see what Leslie thought about it at a whole. Agreeing, Leslie knew of a friend that knew how to do branding and set up a design that would be applied to the skin. Dina let out a soft little sigh knowing that Leslie would make sure everything was safe and had no worries about that.
On the night of the branding Leslie's friend, Melissa, came to the house and starts setting up heating the irons. Leslie steps behind Dina and lightly places a blind fold over her eyes. Lightly placing a kiss upon her neck, while leading her to the cross. Gently each arm was raised and locked into a cuff. Then each leg was spread and the ankle locked into the shackles.
Dina listens closely to what Leslie and Melissa was talking about, though there was so much flooding into her. Her senses was heighten by the lack of her being able to see. As the irons became hotter Leslie moves closer to Dina, both her legs was cleaned and shaven so no hair would burn. The iron came close to Dina's skin and she could feel the heat without it even touching. Everything came down to this moment, breathing slowly she waited for the first stroke.
It took forever for the branding to start, Dina's body was tense as the moments passed. Then all at once she felt the pain on her thigh. Letting out a loud gasping cry as she became lost in the moment and flew higher and higher from the endorphins, until she passed out. When she came too, she was still up on the rack though the blind fold was off. Licking her lips she looks toward Leslie and Melissa by the irons that was still in the fire. Softly she asked "How is it?"
Leslie turns and looks at Dina with a wicked little grin, as her sultry voice echo's low. "We haven't even done the first stroke yet."
Shocked Dina looked down toward the spot that she had felt the pain. Only to see no mark at all, though didn't understand how. She had felt the heat of the irons then the pain on her leg. Leslie said they would brand her, those dark green eyes raise to look at Leslie in silent question. It was then that Leslie explained that while blind folded they put the irons close to her skin, though deciding it wasn't hot enough they used ice instead. While putting the irons back on the fire.
The rest of the branding went off without a hitch. The design that was chosen was two hearts with wings on either side. On the heart to the right side it had LT and on the heart to the left of that it had AT, each of their initials. The hearts clearly representing both of them becoming one, the wings meaning that together their love has lifted each other, in In the end, Melissa left the directions of with how to keep the brand clean on a paper in the bathroom. While both remain curled close within each others arms.
Some time went by as the two made sure to keep the brand clean from infection. It was clear that the two had become one. Though Leslie knew there was something else missing. She spent many of nights holding Dina as she lay awake thinking about what it could be. As it came to her a slow smile curls at the edges of her lips. Holding Dina closer she settles in to sleep, thinking on talking to Dina the next night after work.
That night as Leslie stood watching Dina finish washing the dishes, something Dina knew she did as a nightly basis. After all it was one of the chores that she did around the house, as part of their agreement. Dina could feel Leslie's eyes moving over her slender frame, devouring every soft curve. So it came as no surprise when Leslie's arms wrapped around and pulled her close against Leslie's frame. Lips lightly brush against Dina's ear before a hushed whisper echo's.
"Adina, My love. I want us to have a family. Will you have our baby?"
This had come as a shock to Dina because they had never spoke of a family or of having children. Dina had always thought that Leslie didn't want children by the way she spoke of others and the lack of up bringing and parental guidance these days.
The question had made her pause on the last dish, though slowly she went back to placing the dish under the rinse water. Thinking silently, had she really heard Leslie right. With a soft clunk the dish was placed in the tray to dry with the others, as she spoke low.
"What was that Love?"
"Dina you heard me. Will you have a baby with me? Make us a family."
It didn't take long of Dina's silence before Leslie turned her around. Started to say something, having a quick temper. Then stopped as she had seen the tears running down Dina's cheeks. Gently Leslie pulls Dina closer and nuzzles in against her hair whispering low against the soft strands.
