Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

"Yeah! I can't wait to see what you've prepared! Speaking of preparation… You did prepare everything? Right?" Vivi trusted Leon, but she wasn't going to go into this unprepared. Just because she was taking a contraceptive didn't mean that she wouldn't get pregnant. Contraceptives still had a 1% chance of failure, and she would be damned if she became one of those statistics.

"Vi? Do you trust me that little? I'm hurt!" He joked. "Of course I prepared everything! Do you think I would ruin your future dreams and plans?! I have no intention of becoming a dad so soon, Vi. Not that I don't want to be in the future, but we still have our whole lives ahead of us! You especially have a magnificent dream! I will wholeheartedly support you in yours." Leon declared.

Vivi smiled and as she admired the mid-spring weather and the blooming flowers in the gardens of the country homes they passed on the way to the foothills of the mountain where Leo had told her he was taking her.

Before too long, Leon slowed before turning onto a private drive. Slowly making his way up the driveway, he then pulled to a stop in front of a cozy and quaint cabin. It was only one bedroom, but it had a spacious living area that overlooked the river below. It had cost a pretty penny, but he considered it well worth it when it was secluded enough with the surrounding forest and far enough from the highway that you barely heard the whoosh of traffic that would obscure the beauty and tranquility of their little retreat.

"What do you think, Vi? If you really like it, when I get my trust fund, I'll purchase the property outright for you!" Leon joked.

"Leo! Don't do that! Save your trust fund for more important things! Do you think I want you to spend your money recklessly?"

"It's never reckless if it's for you, Vi." Leon chuckled heartily. "Come on, I want to give you the tour…"

After being shown around and explicitly shown just how deep his preparations for their weekend getaway went, Vivi felt her heart flutter more in anticipation and in slight nervousness. She wanted to be clear on something before they really got too far gone in their affections that would undoubtedly end in a passionate tangle in the bed.

"Leo, uhmm.." Vivi started slightly nervous.

"I love it when you call me Leo, Vi…" Leon whispered huskily in Vivi's ear as he held her in his arms.

Vivi fought the urge to melt when he whispered in her ear like that. It honestly sent shivers up and down her spine and the sound of Leo's voice in her ear that was so tantalizingly low and seductive did things to her body that no other had.

"I-I've never done this before…" Vivi started. "I still have my hymen intact, Leo. I've never even pleasured myself, even when I had my heats, I've never done anything…" She wanted to be honest and forthright when it came to this part of their relationship. She would be letting Leo take her proverbial innocence while together.

"I know, Vi. You've never been the type to be wanton with your affections. Plus, you always suppress your heats whenever possible and even if you didn't, I can't picture you pleasuring yourself. Even though I would love to see you do it for me sometime…" Leo said seductively.

"Wh-what about you, Leo? Have you done this before?"

Leon smiled and rubbed Vi's shoulders. "No. I have always felt that I wanted to give you every bit of myself, Vi. That includes my first time with intercourse. You get to experience all my awkwardness and clumsiness. I hope you won't be disappointed…"

"How can I be disappointed when it's you, Leo? I don't have any experience to compare to, so I'm sure I will enjoy every bit of learning to be intimate with you. We get to learn about our likes and dislikes together, as one." Vivi blushed at that last statement of hers. She really would be one with him soon enough and just the thought sent more shivers down her spine as she couldn't help but anticipate this act.

"Hmm. I think I recall my Mom telling me that the best way to initiate intimacy is to feed your partner delicious food. So do you want me to cook for you first, or do you have an idea as to how I can set the mood for you?" Leon was curious if Vi had a preference as to how she wanted him to start being intimate with her.

He would absolutely cater to her preferences here, since all he had to go on was raunchy content that his buddies had recommended he watch. He didn't think that Vi would be receptive to the kinds of things that this content leaned toward. It all seemed to pander to the lewd and extremes of raunchy so he didn't feel that it would be good to start off with. Maybe in the future after they were both more comfortable with things, they could experiment and try new things.

"I am a bit hungry, what do you have in mind?" she asked curiously as she picked up a utility lighter laying next to a few rose-colored candles. They smelled a bit like strawberries so maybe that's why Leon chose them. It made her smile to see the levels he had gone to to try and make this romantic for them. She lit each of the candles and set them throughout the room. Soon enough the smell of something delicious as well as the faint synthetic pheromones from the candles started to blend into a relaxing atmosphere. It was only a touch sensual, but that could be both their eagerness to get to the main event.

Leon could cook fairly well in his opinion, he just hoped that Vivi would like his cooking. He had never cooked for a girlfriend before, only himself and his family on occasion. Most of the cooking was done by either Mom or their grandparents when they felt like doing them a favor. Grandpa had long since retired as their family butler, but Mom and Dad had made sure that he and his siblings never got lazy about caring for the house. They learned to do everything for themselves and learned just how hard work it was to keep up a house. For that reason, they all appreciated Grandpa even more since he had managed to care for the whole family as well as the house by himself for years.

Once he was done, he plated the simple dish and set it in front of Vivi. It wasn't fancy, but spaghetti was one of her favorite foods, so he hoped that she would like it. He intended to share the plate with her since he had gotten the idea from a really old cartoon movie he had watched as a kid. For that reason, he made sure the noodles were long and hadn't split them when he was cooking. The meatballs were rather crudely formed, but he didn't have time to make them any fancier.

Taking out his phone, Leon selected a playlist he had put together of romantic songs and set the volume to the perfect ambiance level. Once that was done, he sat down next to Vi and gave her a chaste peck on her cheek. He thought about more but decided that there was plenty of time for those kinds of kisses later. Right now, he wanted to set the mood with the food and hope that it was good enough to please his girlfriend's palate.

Just as he hoped, Vivi made appreciative noises as she sampled his cooking. It seemed that she liked it. The two of them ate the food and even if the scene he had wanted to recreate from that movie didn't happen, it was still a romantic feeling for them. With the pheromone candles producing the subtle scent of strawberries and the ever-present scent of Vi's natural strawberry scent, it was creating a heady atmosphere.

While Vi took her time finishing her share of the spaghetti, Leon decided to surprise her with the strawberries and chocolate sauce he had for their dessert. While he busied himself in the kitchen, he crooned to one of the songs he had in his playlist. To his surprise Vivi joined in on the duet, singing the part of the song he could never reach with his vocal range. He smiled to himself as they made quite the pair with their voices.
