Author's Note/ Spoiler Alert: Darken Rahl is dead. Now Zedd, Kahlan and Richard are off to Aydindril. Unfortunately they have more issues to deal with then a long journey. Richard and Kahlan's feelings are growing, along with the uncontrollably urge to show it! How will they deal with? Find out! Please leave comments!
They did it. They defeated Darken Rahl. It felt like they had been doing this , running, chasing, fighting, searching for Darken Rahl for forever.
They could finally take a break well at least for a night or two. There are still a lot of Rahl's followers out there, even with the spell taken off
due to his death, who would want to fight. It was up to The Mother Confessor, the Seeker and Wizard Zorander to restore everything back to
order. In order to do that they had to get to Aydindril.
Aydindril was a 2 week journey, they already been on their journey for a week and a half. Only three more days and they'd reach Aydindril.
Richard was looking over the fire when he heard Zedd.
"Come now and help me with this, don't just sit there".Richard got up and went to help Zedd with more fire wood.
"What are you doing just sitting down and staring into space for. You should be helping Kahlan with the food." Zedd said.
"I was but she said she could do it herself so I let her be." That was how it had been for the pass week and a half. Kahlan still felt guilty for
getting Richard sent to the future which was much more horrible then the present. Richard would reassure her that that wasn't the case. That
without her being there he would of became a tyrant just like Rahl. She couldn't see reason and He wouldn't listen.
It seemed that also their attraction for one another had gone to new heights since that night. Richard knew that Kahlan had felt the change
too. It was not noticeable at first but then on the second day of their journey to Aydindril it almost seemed like his desire, his want, his need
amplified whenever Kahlan was around. At first he just ignored it and thought it was just him spending the past months as a monk with his
nirvana right in front of him but out of reach. But then he knew something was different on the fateful night.
Zedd had retired early. Kahlan and Richard where putting away their belongings and getting ready to call it a night. They worked in silence. It
was comfortable. They never had to force anything with each other. Kahlan was going for her pack when she tripped over a piece of wood.
She would've fell on her face if Richard hadn't saved her. Richard had snatched her up and held her fast against him with one arm around her
waist. The moment Kahlan and Richard looked each other in the eyes it seemed like the whole world froze. The wind didn't move, the moon
didn't shine, all was still as if one little thing would stop the invisible connection going through them. Richard felt this impulse need to kiss
Kahlan and by the way her eyes went wide he knew she could feel it too.
And she did with every fiber in her bone she felt the invisible pull. She wanted nothing more than to feel his warmth, to feel his skin against
hers as they waited out the passion they had kept back for so long. Kahlan was the first to speak, in her attempt to try and stop the need
going through her.
"Thank You" She said in a whisper and then said it a little bit louder after she cleared her throat.
"Anytime" Richard said with a look that made Kahlan stop breathing. She knew what was going to happen and she knew she was powerless
to stop it. She wanted to push him away, tell him not to play with fire but she could tell, just like her, he could no longer do it. Just stand
around and be in an invisible battle with himself anymore. It felt like being in a cage during mating season. It was too much and he couldn't
hold back and Kahlan didn't want him to.
Almost like a lion would attack his lioness, Richard put his hand behind the back of Kahlan's neck and brought her lips toward his so he could
devour her. Their lips meshed to like waves in a storm. Richard moved in closer, almost has if he wanted Kahlan to be part of his skin. Richard
groaned and stopped kissing Kahlan so he could nibble and then bite her bottom lip. Kahlan gasped and Richard took that opportunity to kiss
her with his lips and his tongue. Kahlan moaned and grabbed a fist full of Richard's hair, trying to bring him closer. Their tongues battled for
superiority, which added to the flames burning them alive. Richard's hands moved to Kahlan's hips, slowly grinding his pelvis against hers. The
pleasure coursing through them was exquisite. It was Kahlan's turn to bite on Richard's bottom lip. Richard growled and moved one hand to
glide under Kahlan's butt, down her leg and wrap around the back of her knee. Kahlan's soft giggle turned into a gasp when Richard lifted her
leg so it could be around his hip. It put her in just the right angle to drive her crazy while Richard continued to kiss her and grind his pelvis
against hers.
Kahlan wanted nothing more than to have Richard drag her to the forest floor and take her with no inhibitions, no hesitations. Richard
wanted that too, this wasn't like any hunger he ever experienced. The type of hunger that gnawed at him from the inside out, that left him
hungry and content at the same time. A hunger that he wanted to feed and relish in. Richard would've done just what Kahlan wanted but he
heard, within the deep blurry thoughts of erotic fantasies, a loud grunt. Zedd!! The thought got into Richard's head and he released Kahlan.
It was like being slapped while having a pleasant dream. Kahlan opened her eyes with a whimper leaving her lips and stared at Richard.
Richard had a look of aggressive hunger in his eyes. His hands were in fists and he had them to his side. He was breathing hard, like her, and
visibly shaking with need for a woman he feared he could never have, even though she belonged with him, to him as fate intended. Kahlan
raised her fingertips to her lips still feeling Richard's lips, teeth, tongue there. A wave of pleasure went through her. She longed to feel
Richard's muscles against her again. He looked like he wanted nothing else than to do that.
They were separated but still close enough that Kahlan could feel Richard's breath on her face. She was still in a daze from the rush of
pleasure Richard had going through her body to realize the possible reasons that could've made him stop.
"Why did you..." She whispered.
"Zedd" Richard said. There was a grunt that made Kahlan and Richard turn toward Zedd. He was on his side, facing them, asleep. But wizards
slept with their eyes open so it was almost like he was watching them, telling them that they couldn't consummate their love or terrible things
would happen. Then it came rushing back to Kahlan. How her power would make him a mindless slave and her Richard would no longer be
Richard. She looked at Richard in horror and turned and went through a small opening to try and get away from what she just done.
