(( OK OK...... so I kept it clean. don't hurt me!! Use your imaginations! ))
Ardeth yawned and tried to stretch without disturbing Leigh. He had to stop and remind himself that it wasn't a mistake, that he didn't take advantage of her. He looked down at her as she slept beside him. She looked beautiful as she slept. And Allah bless him for thinking it, but she was infinitely more pleasant to deal with when she was asleep. He chuckled softly and brushed a long wisp of hair from her cheek. He'd have to either stop calling her a thief... or call her that for the rest of her life. Because that is what she'd become, His Thief. Without even trying Leigh Crawford had managed to steal his heart. He had to wonder if he held the same precious treasure from her, however. Doubts set in as he watched her sleep. Did she feel the same way he did? Or would she leave him without a thought now that she had what she had hunted for...
He couldn't let her go. She blew into his life like a sand devil and firmly planted herself into his heart. He knew that if she were to leave... Ardeth didn't finish the thought, he didn't want to think about what would happen if she left. He held her tighter to him, his arms wrapping fiercely around her as if to keep her there by his side.
Leigh, however, wasn't asleep. She was faking it, trying to figure out what the hell happened. One minute she was actually letting him feed her dinner, the next minute she had her tongue down his throat and reaching for the laces of his robes. When his grip on her tightened, she had to bite down a squeak of protest. What was he thinking about to hold her so tightly? Another thought plagued her desperately - she had slept afterwards without a dream. She remembered just floating, feeling fuzzy and warm and well satisfied sexually. Ardeth was a better lover than she'd had before. Not that it was a surprise.. just look at how built he was!
She shifted and murmured in her sleep, trying to get him to relax his grip on her. Ardeth wasn't paying attention however. He was too deeply immersed in his own thoughts. He closed his eyes and relived the glorious experience she'd given him just a short while ago. He knew that he wasn't the first, and it pained him to think that there had been others before him who'd tasted HIS little thief's sweetness.
"Ardeth.... stop...." Leigh couldn't stand it any more. His grip had tightened on her hard enough to make her gasp for breath. She pushed against his chest as she squeaked out the plea to stop. "You're hurting me......"
Ardeth blinked and looked back down at her. Her dark brown eyes were wide and she was pushing at him. Immediately he opened his arms and let go of her. "What is it Harami?"
"You were crushing me." Leigh coughed a bit and pushed back, putting some space between them. "What were you thinking?!" Gingerly she rubbed at her ribs and looked at him. He looked guilty. "What is it Ardeth? What's wrong?"
"You are going to leave, aren't you?"
His voice was barely a whisper, but she heard him clearly. Leigh sat up as looked down at him. Her hair fell in cascades around her shoulders and onto the bed. "I don't know."
"What do you mean you do not know? It is a simple question, Harami. Yes or no, are you going to leave me now that you have your statue?"
The accusation stung Leigh. "You would think so low of me?" She pushed his hand away as he reached for her. "NO! You... bastard... You actually think... how.." Leigh scrambled out of the bed as he reached for her again.
"Leigh... stop... your foot!"
"FUCK MY FOOT AND FUCK YOU!" she screamed as she hastily threw her clothing on. He actually thought she'd do something that low. Leigh hobbled around the bed, intent on getting as far from him as possible. How could he even think that she would just leave him like a one-night stand? She was so blinded by the tears threatening to spill that she ran straight into Ardeth's chest. He grabbed her by the shoulders and held her there. "How could you..." she said. "How could you think that of me?!"
"I am sorry Harami." His voice cracked. "I was afraid you would leave. I cannot think of what it would be like." His arms wrapped around her and hugged her tight to him. "It hurt to think that you would leave me."
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't..." she whispered.
