His Felicity, His Happiness

Untitled Part 11

Felicity woke the next morning and smiled as she felt Sah-Him's arm across her waist. Last night had been a culmination of Felicity's dreams and it had been amazing. She had been hurting for so long after Ray, wondering if all the men she met would treat her the way he did, but being with Sah-Him had healed the hole in her heart. She snuggled closer to him, already feeling better than she had the day before and she closed her eyes and sighed softly. Sah-Him woke as he felt her move, and the feeling of love that washed over him was all consuming. He turned and looked into her eyes and she smiled at him. It was like the sun coming out of the darkness. It fed his soul.

"Good Morning!" Felicity said softly.

"Good Morning beautiful.", Sah-Him said and gently stroked her cheek. "How are you feeling this morning?"

Felicity smiled and sat up against the headboard, pulling the sheet up over her chest. "I feel good this morning." She blushed. "A little sore, but good."

Sah-Him sat up beside her and took her hand in his interlacing their fingers. "I want to ask you something Felicity and I want you think long and hard before you answer." He played with her fingers, almost nervously, but she couldn't imagine what he would be nervous about. The man was the epitome of control. "Will you stay here with me? In Nanda Parbat?"

"Yes!", she said immediately, and Oliver looked at her in surprise. She laughed. "I know you wanted me to think about my answer, but I don't have to think about it. There is nothing for me to go back to there. I want to be here, with you." He smiled and she again thought of how she wanted to see him smile more. "I do have one condition though." Sah-Him looked at her with a worried expression.

"And what would that be?"

"I need to go back to my apartment and get a few things. Some things of my mothers. Can we go back to Starling City just for a couple of days so I can do that?" She looked at him, hoping he would say yes. Despite the fact there was no one waiting for her at home, she had some things that were sentimental to her. Things of her mother's that she wanted to get and bring back with her.

"We can leave this afternoon. I need to meet with the League now that I am Ras, but I will have the plane ready for us to leave later today.", he said and pulled her to his side.

"Are you sure you can leave this soon Sah-Him?"

He smiled softly at her. "I will do anything for you Felicity." He kissed her lips and then got out of bed to shower and get dressed. Felicity watched him walk naked to the shower and her body clenched. He was beautiful and she grinned to herself as she thought about the fact that he was hers. She settled back down into the covers as she realized she had nowhere to be today. Sah-Him showered quickly and then walked back into the bedroom with a towel around his waist. He saw Felicity settled in his bed, the covers to her chin and he felt a pride and happiness fill his chest. She was his and she was exactly where she belonged. He walked over and kissed her cheek and she opened her eyes and placed her arms around his neck.

"You are making it very hard for me to leave my love." he said as he settled on top of her.

"What if I don't want you to leave?", she asked and kissed his neck.

"The sooner I talk to my men the sooner I can spend the rest of my time with you.", he said, kissing her soundly before he stood up and started to dress. "You stay here and rest. You are still recovering." Sah-Him finished dressing and then strapped on his dagger. He walked back over to the bed and looked down at her. "Sarab will be right outside the door if you need anything and I will have him bring you breakfast in the room." He kissed her again and then left shutting the door soundly behind him.

Felicity decided to shower and dress before Sarab arrived. She was thinking about returning to Starling and as much pain as the town held for her, she was looking forward to showing Sah-Him her home.
