"Our first mission must be to find your father," he agreed. "The entire fleet will be looking for him now, but it is absolutely essential that we be the ones to find him. If a different ship finds him, there will always be whispers that perhaps you didn't do your best to find him. If those rumors take hold and plant themselves in my master's ear, I will be unable to defend you."<br/><br/>He didn't want to alarm her too much, but a bit of alarm was probably wise. Just failing to capture her father wouldn't doom her, but it would start things down a very negative path. The best thing they could do right now was get ahead of the problem.<br/><br/>Without moving too much, he was able to take home of her wrists and work to undo the knots that were holding her wrists together. He very much liked the sensation of having her bound beside him, but given what would happen tomorrow, it was important she get a good night's rest. Besides, freeing her showed that he wasn't at all afraid of her. Even when he was sleeping, he was still a sith apprentice, master of his surroundings. Even without his training, he knew she was aware how foolish it would be to make a move against him. Calen was the only person who was capable of keeping her and her family alive.<br/><br/>With her wrists freed, Calen let his eyes drift shut. "In the supplies I brought over, you'll find a pair of leather handcuffs. You are free to sleep unbound, but when I awaken in the morning, I expect to find you kneeling in bed beside me, as close as you are right now, with your wrists cuffed behind you, your body ready to please me in any way I desire." Just the thought of it made it harder to calm his mind, but sleep had been precious during his training. The words had hardly left his lips before he slowly drifted off, his mind oddly at peace.
