That face.

That cold face.

That face which is bearing an icy expression while his eyes are lurking at other males when I know it can display such warmth and gentleness.

That face with this jawline hidden by a one-week beard. Weirdly enough, as much as it makes him look older and feels odd to my eyes, I like how it gives him a warmer appearance, and if it weren't for his glacial gray eyes, that guy could look very attractive. Not that he doesn't. He is fucking handsome. Just a bit scary to people who don't know him.

That face is one of the rare faces that could pull me out of the brooding state I have been in since I parted from Ivan's embrace six hours ago in Los Angeles. An embrace that threw me into a whirlwind of emotions because of the tension emanating from his body and the hoarseness of his voice.

It's only until tomorrow evening, but I'm going to miss you... Enjoy yourself, you have total freedom to do whatever you want, but please, stay safe and be a good guy, Menino.

There was no pet name. Just the sweet name.

Overall, there was less pet-naming this past week. Ivan's dominance is still here, obviously, and he never fails to beam with authority and guidance, shouting orders here and there, but it feels like all this has lessened. He wasn't as often on my back, checking on my homework or bossing me around to do what I had to. I didn't need it much anyway, since I have gotten used to being serious in everything I undergo.

What was it then? Has he been testing me and my responsible behavior? Yes, probably, but I believe I proved myself mature and reliable.

It doesn't mean I won't miss him this weekend, even if I am away for only two days.

However, having taken the earliest flight out of Los Angeles to Boston and flying back on Sunday afternoon won't leave me much time around Camden, so I'd better enjoy these twenty-eight hours to the fullest. It will be short, and I wish I could have used a longer weekend over Christmas break, but I urgently needed to see my friend.

Mark being in France, he obviously couldn't have made it, but I did offer Josh to join us. Sadly, important tests on Monday and Tuesday next week will have our Yale friend locked up in his bedroom to study all weekend long, so he reluctantly declined my suggestion.

Even if it's only Cam and me, I well intend to enjoy the weekend, especially as I have been given total freedom to do as I want. Ivan's choice of words was meaningful after the conversations we had over the past week about my potential emancipation from the Submissive status. It was his way to tell me that he is slowly getting ready to let go of me.

I know how things end up when you're around Camden, or any of your other friends for that matter, and you two will probably spend the evening in pubs or a nightclub. You're free to fuck around, but remember that I stuffed your bag of toiletries with condoms.

The past week has been a pain in my ass on many levels. Déjà vu, I would say. As Ivan promised, my butt was to remember the flogging Marcus delivered, and it did. All the marks have disappeared by now, but honestly, there is still a slight soreness to my sensitive skin. It was hard to focus on my lessons, but I managed pretty well, and knowing that I would be away for the weekend, I also worked my ass off so that I'd only have to review lessons while on the plane.

Then, there was also the start of a dialog with Ivan about the current situation.

Not much though.
