It was another three days before Hugh's recovery team had called with an update, letting them know they had found the guys. Hugh had no idea what condition the guys were in, so he decided not to tell Luna right away. The recovery team said they would be home the following evening, so he wouldn't have to keep his secret long. Wednesday evening came and Hugh stayed late at the pit to see exactly how they guys were. First he saw Ezio walking in, beaten and bruised, then two of the team members came in carrying a body bag, taking it down to the medical team. Hugh studies the bag as it was carried down the hall, the person inside was far too small to be Connor. He fought back the tears as he watched it disappear around a corner, then Ezio was by his side.

"Carlo set us up. He was acting as a sleeper agent for the Templars. He had men tracking us, and when we found out, he tried to kill us." Hugh just shook his head as he stood there in shock, surely something was wrong, this was just a bad nightmare.

"No, no. I know Carlo, he wouldn't do that. He's a good assassin. No." Ezio could only put a hand on Hugh's shoulder, not sure what else he could say. He kept his gaze down the hall where the body bad had been taken and he tried to make sense of it, but another thought came to mind. "Where is Connor?"

"He was taken to see the doctor, he was pretty banged up. Carlo attacked us while we were sleeping, but luckily Connor is a light sleeper." Hugh rushed towards the medical wing, wanting to see Connor with his own eyes, talking to Ezio as he walked.

"Go home, get some rest. We'll talk more tomorrow, Ruth would really like to see you I'm sure." Ezio nodded before he left, making his way over to see Ruth while Hugh went to check on Connor.

As he got to the door of the exam room he could hear a commotion going on and then Connor let out a loud yell. Hugh pushed his way into the room, but what he found was not what he expected. Connor was sitting on the exam table, and two nurses where holding him down as the doctor pulled his shoulder back into socket. Now Hugh understood perfectly why Connor was making such a noise. He walked over and put a hand on Connor's arm, looking him in the eyes and Connor could see he was happy and relieved to see him.

"Luna is really going to be happy to see you." Connor had an almost nonexistent smile as he looked at Hugh, happy to hear Luna had wanted to see him again.

"I cannot wait to see her. Where is she? I hoped she would have been here waiting." Hugh smiled down at the dark-eyed boy, thinking that this guy really did make his daughter happy.

"She didn't know you were coming back. I didn't tell her because I wasn't sure how badly you all were hurt, or if worse had happened. Instead of worrying her I just didn't say anything." Connor went to stand up but the doctor stood in front of him, pushing him back down. They argued for a moment about Connor getting checked out and finally Connor gave in, waiting until he got the green light to go home. Finally at two in the morning Connor was given the alright for him to go home and he started walking out the door. Hugh watched as he walked out, knowing he needed to be alone with Luna.

Once Connor got back to to the apartment building, he bound up the steps two at a time until he got up to Luna's door, Connor kept his key on a long leather cord around his neck, so he silently removed his key and opened the door, but the sound of the television welcomed him. He shut the door and when it clicked Luna jumped up from the sofa, scaring him as he scared her. She stepped on the sofa, jumping over the back to rush to Connor throwing her arms around him. He slid his arms around her as she jumped into his arms, grimacing as he held her. The pain was well worth having her against him again. He felt her lips on his neck as tears fell on his shirt. He walked over to the sofa with her, sitting down with her in his lap.

She never said a word to him, her lips met his instead as her fingers traveled over him. He pulled her closer, taking in her scent, the feel of her in his arms once more. He pulled her away, wanting her to look at him so they could talk, but it took a moment. Once he could see her, they both sat there catching their breath before they could speak. She broke the silence first, taking him by surprise, crying as she started.

"Don't you ever leave like that again. I haven't slept because I've been so worried. I thought I'd never see you again, and I need you to know that I love you and I understand you didn't want to hurt me. Now that your home, you better be prepared to stay in bed with me for days." Connor soothed her hair back, his hand landing on her neck as he looked her over. He never said anything, his actions spoke volumes. His lips found hers in a deep heated kiss, soft and sensual that started a fire in her core. He slid her off his lap once he pulled his lips away, only offering her a simple explanation.

"I would like to go shower right now." Luna nodded as he got up, not knowing the hell he may have been through. Once he was in the bathroom she got up and shut off the television, locking up. She then made Connor a sandwich and glass of milk, worried that he hadn't eaten. She sat in the bedroom waiting on him, and when he came out of the bathroom she smiled with her surprise. He came over and sat next to her, devouring the sandwich and downing the milk and she starting thinking that there might be things that were bothering him.

"Connor, do you want to talk about what happened?" He froze, just for a split second and she could tell by the look in his eyes that he was hiding something deep inside. She watched as his jaw flexed, his chest and arms tense then relax. This was going to be hard for him, but she knew it would help to talk about. She did though, offer him an out. "I know you probably don't want to talk about it right now, but when you do I'm here. I will always be here for you."

Connor laid back in the bed and Luna curled up next to him, her head gently resting on his shoulder. She felt his fingertips gliding up and down her arm while he pressed his lips to her head. His arms then slid around her, pulling her closer. She felt him taking in a deep breath, yet she was afraid to push him to much, knowing he wasn't very open with his emotions. She was floored when he shifted, moving to his side so that he could face her. His touch was soft and gentle as he turned her chin, his lips so close to hers, but still not touching them. Luna stared up into his chestnut eyes, trying to get a feel for what was going through his mind.

His other hand slid up her back, hot against her bare skin as he pulled her body flush against his. His lips finally found hers in a slow kiss that grew and deepened until it had her moaning and feeling feverish. His hands sent electrical currents through her skin as she slowly started pulling at her shirt, Luna sat up to pull it away and toss it aside. Connor leaned up on his elbow behind her, his lips now planting kisses up her back. One of his large hands slid around to her stomach, delicately gliding over her skin as he moved closer, his lips now traveling to her shoulder. When his land left the front of her body to swipe the hair off her neck the air around her suddenly felt cold and she needed his body to warm her.

As his lips went to her neck his hand found her stomach again and she pulled at him, wanting him closer. Connor very easily took the hint, sitting up and pulling her back to his chest as his other hand urged her to turn her head to kiss him. Luna turned in his arms, straddling his lap now that she was facing him, all the while her lips never left his. He had gotten out of the shower, coming to bed in only a pair of shorts and already through the cotton Luna could feel the impressively large size of his growing erection. He finally pulled his lips free, and with a firm but gentle grip he pulled her shoulders back so that his lips could feast on her neck and chest. A long moan escaped her throat as his lips found her sensitive nipple for the first time.

His lips moved from one breast to the other, taking his time to get to know every inch of her skin and how she liked being touched. He paid close attention to the sounds she made, wanting nothing but to give her all the satisfaction she wanted and then some. Connor loved feeling her fingers tangle in his hair, pulling him closer. She slowly started rolling her hips against him, wanting to desperately to feel every inch of him inside her. Her head dropped back as she felt his length pressed up against her, and it was driving her wild. His hands were traveling all over her soft skin, wanting to commit every detail of her to memory. His lips moved to her neck as she started whispering curses, begging him to keep going.

His hands slid to her waist, slowly pulling down her sleep pants as well as her panties as his hands rounded over her ass. Luna shifted so that he could pull the rest of the clothes off her body. Connor moved her onto her back as he pulled his own shorts off, not wanting to delay the intimate contact any longer. Before he could slide over her, Luna was back on her knees, watching him as he sat down on the edge of the bed. As soon as he sat down, she moved over him, lining him up with her slick core as her lips pressed against him. He held hips, not wanting to miss a single moment as they finally took this step. He pulled his lips from hers, watching as he slowly pushed her hips down. Her nails raked over his shoulders as he stretched her, filling her up. The sensations were nearly overwhelming as Luna kept moving her hips, his name dripping from her lips.

Connor let her move at her own pace as she tilted her hips back, letting his long erection hit just the right spot inside her. Her arms moved around him, pulling herself flush against him as he spoke in her ear. He was speaking in his native tongue, lost in the moment until Luna said his name.

"Konnorónhkwa."

"Connor."

"I am yours. I love you." She was so caught up in the heat of the moment that it a second for her to process what he said. Once she did, she slowed down as she looked up into his dark eyes.

"Oh, I love you too." Her lips melted against his as he felt her walls tightening up around him. He was finding it hard to hold back as he slid deep into her snug warmth. His hands pulled at her hips, urging her to move faster as he laid back on the bed. Luna fell forward on his chest, moving faster as curses started leaving his lips. Luna sat up moving at a frantic pace as she took his hand putting his thumb in her mouth before placing it over her throbbing clit. Her hand moved over his, showing him what she liked and he took note. As he strummed on her little bundle of nerves he felt her walls clamping tighter and her urged her harder. She put a hand on his chest, the other one holding her hair back while she moaned out his name, her body going rigid as she came.

Connor wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer as he snapped his hips up to meet hers. She leaned down and kissed his neck, speaking softly to him,wanting him to feel the same release she had. He let out a long groan as he came, his hands tight around her. Once he started to relax again he shifted to his side, holding Luna close as he kissed her temple. They both cleaned up before sleeping that night, both of them desperately needing the rest.
