I'm… drunk…
Well… not really… just a little tip-sy… and trying to write…
Let's… get back…
We were back… at Ar Raqqah, after two days trip… we avoided the Templar camp… by now it would be ransa-cked by some caravan passing on the way…
Arriving here was good… we had to thank Kahlil and his wife for helping us and pick up Maria's brother and Aisha.
When we arri - ved, Brian ran to hug Maria… I saw her get a little stiff and he said something about her fading injuries…
She didn't said anything, but was happy to see him…
They decided to make a party for us at night, where we drank and ate after telling about our fight with the Templars…
Now, Maria is sleeping and I will be with her shortly…
Maria… this past… few days. Made me realize… I don't to pass my life without her… she isn't my first love… but I know in my heart… she's the one for me…
When I was at Mosul, waiting for some ans… answers… I was so worried that I…
But… what I saw when I went to… meet she and Raouf… I didn't demonstrate…d, but my heart sank when I saw her… and there I decided… I was going to marry her…

Altaïr sighed and put the ink down… he looked at Maria sleeping on the bed. He decided to go to her and got up from the chair, but felt suddenly uncomfortable… looking down, he saw he had an erection…
"Damn…" He muttered.
He decided to go quietly to the bed, but the act of laying down beside her, made her woke up…
"I'm sor -ry…" He said.
She looked at him.
"Are you ok?" She asked.
"A little…" He said. "I didn't want to wake you…"
She nodded, knowing very well that he was drunk.
"It's ok…" She said.
They staid quiet a little bit.
"What a night…" She said after a while.
He nodded ad moved a little to get more comfortable and she noticed his lap.
Maria felt herself reddening and looked away. He noticed.
"Sorry…" He said. "I'll take care of it…"
"No, it's ok…" Maria said, putting a hand on his arm when he started to get up from the bed. "Lay down…"
"Maria, you don't need to…" He said, somewhat sober now.
"I know…" She said, putting a hand on his face. "Lay down…"
Altaïr did as instructed as Maria started to kiss him as her hand went down from his face, to his chest and them his lap.
He moaned.
"Maria…" He said.
"It's ok…" She said again. "It's time…"
Altaïr looked at her for a moment, then kissing her again a little aggressive, turned her on her back without braking the kiss.
"Do you trust me?" Altaïr asked, after they broke apart.
Maria nodded.
Altaïr then kissed her again as his hands went down her body and started to raise her shirt. She moaned when she felt his calloused hands on her skin. It encouraged Altaïr, who lowered his right hand inside her pants and pressed her between her legs.
Maria broke the kiss and arched herself as he attack to her clit continued…
Altaïr took advantage of her position and attacked her neck with kisses and small bites.
"Please, Altaïr…" Maria said, as she was felling herself getting close.
He just smiled against her skin, and then raised himself in his left elbow to look at her as he continued to press her, till she came a few seconds later.
Altaïr let her calm down.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah…" Maria said, trying to recuperating her breath. Then, she looked at him and said: "Clothes off, now…"
Altaïr smiled.
"Your wish is my command…" He said.
They quickly too off their clothes and he laid down on top of her while entering her. They both moaned and started to move in unison.
Altaïr and Maria kissed as she wrapped her legs on his back, making him go a little deeper.
After a few seconds, he put a hand on her breast and played with a nipple as Maria broke the kiss to raise her head. He kissed her neck as he speed up his movements.
Soon, they were both moaning as they came together…

The next day, Maria was the first to wake up… she remained on her position although… Altaïr was hugging her from behind…
She remembered what happened last night and she couldn't believe her luck… two months ago, she was so determined to stay with the Templars and she considered herself one of them and now…
If she knew how her life would change so much for the best, she would quit the Templars a long time ago…
Altaïr 'promised' besides freedom, to teach her things she never knew it existed and were possible... and the main course, to love her…
To other side, he wanted commitment of her part…. and she didn't know if she was ready for it…
"What are you thinking about?" Altaïr asked, surprising her.
"In just how lucky I am…" She said.
He pressed his arm more against her, bringing her to himself as he kissed her nape.
"I am the one who's luck here…" He said. "And this is what I want to talk with you about…"
"What?" Maria asked.
"Marry me…" Altaïr said.
"What?" She asked again, surprised.
"Marry me…" He asked again.
Maria sighed and decided to sit on the bed… Altaïr sat too…
"Altaïr…" She said.
"It doesn't need to be now…" He insisted. "When you are ready…"
"I don't know if I can…" She said, looking down. "I wasn't a very good wife before…"
Altaïr raised an eyebrow.
"Besides, there are a lot to consider…" she insisted.
"Such as?" He asked.
"Our cultures for example… and your brothers…" Maria said. "They won't accept me, they…"
A hand in her mouth interrupted her.
"Maria, you're babbling…" Altaïr said.
Maria just looked at him.
"I never been married before, so I don't know how to be a husband also…" he said. "We will learn… and as for my brothers, I already talked to them…"
"You thought about it, didn't you?" She asked.
Altaïr nodded.
"When I saw you the other day, I realized I can't live anymore without you…" He explained. "I didn't said anything before because of what happened and because of our mission… and it gave me time to think and make a decision…."
Maria nodded.
"Just think about it ok?" He asked, before getting up.
"Ok…" Maria said.
