His Felicity, His Happiness

Untitled Part 10

Shafath looked at Felicity taking in the sparkle in her eyes and the flush in her cheeks. Sah-Him had called her to check on Felicity after she woke from her nap and Shafath was pleased at how she looked. The purity and beauty of the young lady was a perfect complement to the dark that was Sah-Him and Shafath could see now why the Enchantress had seen her as Sah-Him's perfect mate.

Shafath stood with a smile playing along her lips. "She is recovering nicely my liege. I would say that she will feel 100% by tomorrow."

Felicity smiled at the beautiful woman, "Thank you for everything Shafath. If not for you I would not be here."

"Do not thank me. It was Sah-Him who extracted the information from Talia." she gave him a wink before she turned and headed to the door. She stopped before she opened the door and looked at them both. "The prophecy of the Enchantress will come to be now that Ras is dead." She gave a piercing look to Felicity. "You will make a wonderful wife for Ras Al Ghul."

Felicity blushed as Sah-Him looked at her with his intense blue eyes. She had not thought that far ahead. They still had so much to learn about one another, but the thought of being his wife, of staying with him, of sharing his bed, made a shiver of excitement skate down her spine.

Sah-Him thanked her and closed the door behind her, making Felicity very aware that they were alone. She shifted on the bed, her body tingling with awareness and when Sah-Him sat by her side, she looked at him with a nervous anticipation. They had been alone together and had even been a little intimate. But they had not had sex and Felicity felt her body responding to just his nearness with a greed that made her tremble.

Sah-Him noticed her trembling and he looked at her with concern. "Felicity, you should rest my love."

She gave him a shy look, her cheeks flushing as desire hummed through her. He was always telling her to rest and it was frustrating her. She had been resting. She didn't want to rest anymore. She wanted him. She loved him and she wanted to be with him in every single way possible.

"What if I don't want to rest? she said shifting closer to him.

Sah-Him noticed the way her eyes were wide, her body trembling and her skin flushed, and he reached over and gently stroked her cheek. She turned her head and taking his hand kissed his palm. She held it against her face and just looked into his eyes.

"What do you want my love? I will give you anything your heart desires.", he said so earnestly, so sincerely that Felicity had no doubt he would move heaven and earth to do just that.

"You!", she said softly. "I just want you."

"Felicity! We can't. You are recovering.......", she placed a finger to his lips before he could finish and then scooted closer to him.

"Sah-Him! Do you remember when I told you that no one had ever called me their hope, their happiness, and I mentioned a man by the name of Ray?"

Sah-Him tensed as he remember how vulnerable and fragile she had become by remembering. It had tore him apart seeing her like that. He just nodded listening to her talk.

"Ray was someone that I met and lived with for awhile." Her voice was shaky but firm. "At first things were great. He was nice and treated me well and then one day he just changed. He became controlling, and he hurt me....", her voice cracked as she said those words and her eyes looked away from him as if she was ashamed for what she had endured, what that man had done to her, what she had allowed him to do to her. Sah-Him's eyes filled with rage, but he couldn't let her see that, so he tamped it down schooling his features the way he had been taught to do. "He told me that forcing me to meet his needs at the expense of my own, to have sex with him without my consent, was love."
