Harry let her take a shower first and then he did, he wanted to join her, but he couldn't without revealing who he was. She asked if he was scarred underneath, and if so, it was okay...he loved her for that, but he told her 'it was the rules'. Azadeh sat on the bed and looked around the large suite, there were no papers or anything when he said that he had to be here on business...was he following her? No. She wasn't special enough to be followed by someone like him. It was just a coincedence.
Finally he came out in a similar robe that she was wearing, his mask on, Azadeh wanted to tut, but didn't and just simply asked, "why am I here?"
"You're here because I want you to be here, and if even if you didn't want to be here, you would still be here."
She eyed him a moment, "did you follow us, me?"
"Yes."
Her eyes widened in suprise, "why?"
"Because I don't trust Lucius Malfoy with you, that's why."
"Funny, he says the same thing about you," Azadeh smiled.
"And he's right. When he gets home to England, he will have a letter waiting for him from the Dark Lord..about you." She looked nervous all of a sudden. "But don't worry, the Dark Lord won't harm you, he'll test you, but he knows I want to marry you."
"I think Lucius was planning to do that this week..."
"I don't think so," Harry growled.
"Well, being that he did what he did...I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot..or ten meter cattle prod." Azadeh looked up as Harry chuckled.
"And what did he do?"
She looked fairly hurt when he asked, Harry sat up a bit in concern. "Draco took me out to this fair and it started to rain, so we come home early. I came upstairs to the bedroom and...found him...with.." Azadeh stopped when Harry put his hand up...
"I already know the rest...her name is Margarette and she's the biggest whore in France, why she doesn't start her own brothel is beyond me or at least charge for her services, she'd be a billionaire because she already has money. She just wants to be a Malfoy very, very badly...more money, more power...usual greed. We're you jealous, do you care?" Harry knew that if she answered 'yes' he'd go into a rage, but he could tell she was thinking about her answer.
"Not in the way you would think, it was just a shock because he claimed he wanted to have a child with me.." Harry was digging his nails into the armchair. "And he was being very kind and gentle, romancing me..." He was starting become very uncomfortable with this topic. "But it wasn't so much catching him in the act, as much as it was the form of disrespect and humiliation it brought. He was my first and...the way this 'Margarette' woman was looking at me, she looked at me as if I didn't matter, she saw through me, and called me his servant girl. THAT just kept ringing in my head over and over...'you're a servant girl, a toy, you're not even a human being with feelings...you're just there until you've fulfilled your use and then I'll either kill you or sell you to someone else'...at least, that's what I hear when they grow tired of the girls."
"Sometimes, but not always," Harry said softly.
Azadeh closed her eyes and furrowed her brow, then sighed, "I don't want a life like that. All my life I had been free, granted, hiding never really left much room for romance, boyfriends of any sort..."
"Have you EVER loved anyone?"
She flinched at that question, "Once. I didn't really get to know him very well...but I believe in love at first sight. He was involved with someone also...so..."
"What happened?"
"He died...and took a piece of me with him as well," Azadeh blinked away tears.
Harry was jealous of this man, whoever he was...but at least he wasn't competition, it was a horrible thing to think, but at least he was honest with himself. "Do you think you will ever feel that way again?"
"I already have."
"WITH WHO?" he was about to go off the deepend, his jealousy was getting the better of him.
"With you," she said softly. "I don't really know who you are...but you seem very familiar to me, like I know you. You've reawakened something in me I thought was dead...sounds stupid, doesn't it?"
Harry stood up, walked over and sat down beside her on the bed. "No, it's not. I feel the same way about you, you've done something to me, when I first saw your picture on the bid sheet...like I've been waiting for you all this time." He took Azadeh's hand and held it to his heart, pulling her forward so he could kiss her. This time, she gave in. Harry took off his robe, revealing all of him to her, as if seeking her approval, his body was incredibly chisled and he wasn't exactly small either...again, giving even Lucius a run for his money.
Azadeh laid down for him, letting him pull open her robe to reveal her body...he groaned in delight. Finally he was able to take what he really wanted.
Lucius was going crazy, he called the Death Eaters in the area and they were looking for her, one of them told him strait out, "Ah, Sir Lucius...I will be honest, a girl like zat wit zuch beauty, there are black markets here that some have figured out a way to break za bracelts...she would go for a very high price, I'm afraid. A girl half Zhaman and Zeer...I just hope we can find her..."
"YOU'D BETTER FIND HER!" he snapped. ...
After their love making, Harry held on to her...it was amazing, he'd never felt so good in his young life. He realized that when she made love and climaxed, she sent power through his body. Harry noticed his hand steaming with energy and practiced wandless magic...he broke a vase...no, obliterated it, with just a wave of his hand. This was what 'blondey' was hiding, this was why he was so protective of her...but, it exhausted her, she cuddled in his arms as he kissed her shoulders and neck.
After her little nap, she woke up to find him looking down at her, observing her..., "what?" she said in a groggy voice and then smiled.
"Do you know how amazing you are in bed?" Harry smiled when she blushed.
"No."
"Lucius never told you, did he...?"
"No," she shook her head sadly.
"Well, you are," Harry let her sit up.
Azadeh put on her robe and walked to the window, she looked confused..."what's all the commotion about down there?" Harry put on his robe, looked and then started laughing.
"Oho! He is going all out for you! He's called the Death Eaters in this area to go looking for you, though I'd do the same thing."
"Shouldn't you tell them? Won't they come here...they look like they're going through the hotel."
"Of course they are, you belong to a Death Eater. But it won't matter, they can't enter MY room...only ONE right hand, I'm afraid. And no, it wouldn't be wise to tell them...it would leak to Lucius and I DON'T WANT YOU in any trouble. If anything, I want him swimming with guilt when they find you." Just then, they heard a pounding at the door. Harry told Azadeh to go into the bathroom and after she was safely inside, he opened the door.
He still wore his mask, "don't think you'll need to be looking in here." Harry flashed his ID.
"OH NO, Uh...sorry sir, just looking for a young lady by za name of Azadeh? You have not zeen her or heard of her around here?"
Harry took the picture out of the man's hand and shook his head, "no, I'd remember a pretty face like that...not to mention, try and claim her for myself." Some of the other men laughed huskily. "Oh, and please don't mention you saw me, I'm on a mission of great importance and don't wish to be bothered."
"Of course, ah well, zank you for your time," they left.
Harry let Azadeh know she could come out, she poked her little head out and looked around and then smiled at him. He came to her and started kissing her passionately again, pushing her to the bed once more. She would be staying the night, he decided. Harry was having a very hard time letting her go, and it would kill him to do it, it would kill him to give her back to Lucius, but he had to. It would be directly disobeying his master and there were brutal punishments for disobeying him, still...she was worth it.
Lucius paced the floor, getting terribly drunk. Draco was disgusted with him...Azadeh was missing and it was HIS fault. 'IF you'd just kept your DICK in your pants you ASS!' Draco thought to himself. He watched as his father plopped himself down on the chair in his den, smoking a cigarette and massaging his temple with his thumb, something he did when he was very concerned about something. 'I don't feel the least bit sorry for YOU!' Draco thought harshly, 'and if Azadeh ends up dead because of you, I'll NEVER forgive you!'
Lucius sat there, staring at the wall...how could he be so stupid? One, going back to his own home, assuming that Azadeh wouldn't be back, and two, what was he doing with Margarette anyway? She was a good lay at best...but paled in comparison to Azadeh in every other way possible. However, Margarette had a way of seducing a man into stupidty and it was costing him dearly.
It was the next morning and Harry was trying to make excuses to himself why he should carry this on until the next afternoon or the next evening. He simply did not want to let her go and was rationalizing everything to himself as to why it was perfectly okay to keep her where she was. Soon she would wake up, and he smiled at the fact that he kept her up all night making love until she wasn't capable anymore.
After a little while, she did wake up and he ordered breakfast for them. Harry even tried to coherse her into another love making session but Azadeh told him that she just couldn't...she wasn't fully recovered. And now he would have to return her, he didn't want to and was irate and snippy as she was getting dressed.
Finally he handed her a potion, "I want you to drink this. It will put you into a hypnotic state where I will give you a story of what happened. You will forget yesterday, except for what Lucius did.." Azadeh looked down and seemed sad. "I know...I don't want you to forget either, but once I've recovered you again, I'll snap my fingers and you'll remember it. It has to be this way because Lucius is like a two-legged lie detector and like I said before, I don't want you in trouble. I'll finish it up, so it looks like you had an accident." She nodded sadly.
Harry kissed her hard on the mouth, "I love you, Azadeh." Azadeh downed the potion and immediately went into a hypnotic state. He told her that after she saw Lucius with that woman, she ran down to the river, very upset, she slipped and fell into the river, hitting her head and damaging the bracelet. All she remembered then was managing to catch a log and pull herself up out of the river and then collapsed.
Harry looked at her and said, "collapse." He caught her in his arms, holding her and hugging her...he didn't want to do this at all, but with what little self control he had left, he apparated to a part of the river that was secluded and placed her on her side slightly. He waved his wand and made her face look slightly bruised and scratched and her clothes look wet and tattered along with her hair. Then, he left a tip to the Death Eaters and they came running to find her.
They found Azadeh. Harry kept hidden and watched as they took her to the hospital as they notified Lucius Malfoy. He was so angry...he should have just kept her.
Lucius received an emergency owl, she was at the hospital and was found by the side of the river, half dead. He immediately left.
