A/N: I have two pages of reviews now! Wow. Oh and also, yes Lucivar had the
Ebon Gray jewels, but Jaenelle has Ebon locked the door. (Oh no!) Rather
extreme I know, but please suspend your disbelief since…well, they have to
get stuck somehow!
Stuck
Lucivar had leaned back in his chair, balancing it on two legs, and his feet were propped up on the table. He looked far too comfortable, and Malayian had to resist the urge to kick the chair right out from under him as she paced back and forth. How could he be so calm! They were stuck in a room together for some indefinite amount of time, and he looked as though he had nowhere better to be. The room just seemed to be shrinking to Malayian.
"Stop pacing," Lucivar muttered as she turned for another lap across the room.
"I'll do what I damn well please," Malayian snapped, her temper running the edge of exploding. It must have been at least an hour since the door had shut behind her.
"You're making me dizzy," Lucivar complained.
"Then shut your eyes."
"Are you alright?" Lucivar asked her.
"I'm *fine.*"
"Okay then." Pause. "Maybe you should sit down."
"Will you leave me alone!" Malayian shouted, her temper snapping. She gave in and bestowed a hard kick to the foot of Lucivar's chair sending it toppling over it. Unprepared, Lucivar went over with the chair. He sat up and shook his head to clear it. Sighing he stood up and walked over to where Malayina was still pacing. He grabbed her roughly by the shoulders and, using brute strength, forced her into a chair and sat down on her.
"Let me up!" she yelped. "What are you doing?"
"I'm forcing you to calm down. We'll get out of here soon enough, but you're just driving yourself insane." Malayian growled and twisted suddenly to the side, managing to squirm out of Lucivar's grasp, she sprawled out of the ground, rolling away from him immediately. She leapt to her feet, glaring at him.
Lucivar reached out and grasped her arm just as she was rolling away. Next the were engaged in and all-out scuffle on the ground. But Malayian's heart wasn't in it. Soon Lucivar had her pinned on the ground and was shouting at her.
"What is wrong with you? You've been on edge for the past four days, and now you're practically making yourself sick just because you're trapped in a room with me! What have I done?"
Instead of answering, Malayian drove her fingernails into his arm until he released her, and she slid smoothly out from beneath him. She walked away from him and stood staring into a corner, trying to catch her breath. The silence between them was heavy, but Malayian couldn't bring herself to answer her question. She didn't even know the answer herself.
Lucivar wasn't sure what moved him. One moment he was staring at her back, waiting for some sort of response. The next he had taken her hand and turned her around. The next his mouth was covering hers in a passionate kiss that took his breath away. Malayian didn't fight him, only kissed back with a passion that matched his own. He ran his hands along her back, pushing her backwards until her back was pressed against the wall.
Using all of his willpower, Lucivar pulled back from the kiss, gasping for air. "We can't do this here," he told her hoarsely.
Malayian looked away from him and was finally able to think again. "We shouldn't do this at all. We'll just end up back where we were before." Somehow she didn't believe her own words.
Lucivar obviously didn't either, as he grasped her arms hard and forced her to turn toward him again, and leaned down to kiss her again. Malayian wanted to protest, but her reasons suddenly seemed to disappear as Lucivar's mouth began to move up her jaw line and along her neck. Finally she gave up her resistance altogether when Lucivar began to nibble gently on the sensitive point of her ear.
"They're been awfully quiet," Karla told Jaenelle, pacing back and forth.
"That would be a good thing wouldn't it." Jaenelle looked up from the novel she was reading.
"What if something happened?"
"Then they would not be so quiet."
"Maybe we should let them out now, they're not fighting anymore."
"Karla, honey, if they have made up, I have a good feeling they would not like to be disrupted right now, and I don't think you would want to be the one to disrupt Lucivar when he wanted to be alone."
"Good point."
"I thought so too."
Lucivar's soft lips gently pressed against Malayian's ear.
"I love you," he whispered. Malayian stiffened, but said nothing.
A/N: Ends rather abruptly I know, but hopefully you get the idea. The next one will once again probably be awhile, but keep reviewing, because as long as you're reading, I'll keep writing.
