Never would she have expected to find herself in her current position, especially not after everything she had gone through the past few days. But those four days of journey had given her plenty of time to reflect on her life and what exactly had happened to her village and to Maleiek. Ah, yes. Maleiek. Was he watching her somewhere right now? What would he think about her giving herself up for the man who had torn them apart in the first place? And yet she hardly felt guilt for her actions, because she strongly believed that the Emperor deserved this and so much more. She wished she could give him everything he was entitled to but had been deprived of for so long, however that was simply impossible.<br/><br/>Sajedene was lost in the moment. Her hands eventually freed themselves from his grip and found their way to his shoulder blades where her nails began to sink into his hot skin. In the meantime he had found her neck and she tilted her head further as he bit her and sucked on her skin. She was moaning, louder and higher by every second from his increased speed. And then she saw his eyes, doing her best to keep her own open while they gazed at each other and moaned in unison. The need that glowed in his eyes caused her to smirk. She would be the one to fullflll his need and it gave her tremendous pleasure to know that even though it was only for this moment of passion between them, he depended fully on her to get what he desired so much.<br/><br/>His eyes, his burning skin underneath her clenched fingers and the rising sounds of pleasure initiated by his thrusts into her depth eventually brought her to a peak. Sajedene tensed, a cry of euphoria escaping from her lips and her body arching against his in their heated dance. Only a moment later his hips locked against hers and he came with a cry, just like her, eliciting a hungry growl from her. She pushed her hips against his, wanting all of him in that one single moment. Her eyes stared into his, still clouded with so much desire, fire and passion for him. She wanted the moment to last, but her body could only handle so much. As soon as the adrenaline in her veins began to die down, Sajedene became aware of the ache in her muscles, the sweat on her skin and her heart that was trying to hammer its way out of her chest.<br/><br/>Panting from exhaustion, she slowly became the young woman she really was and let the fiery animal in her return to its cage. Suddenly he kissed her, in a much different way he had before and she returned the kiss, unsure what it meant exactly. Her hands relaxed and dropped on her sides, leaving several marks on his shoulder blades from their passionate lovemaking. Reality began to sink in and she was reminded once more who she had just shared an intimate moment with. Sajedene's mind was empty when he got off her and laid down beside her. She couldn't tell what he was thinking, but she knew that she was in a bit of a shock herself, unable to say or do anything at this point. The Emperor had just made love to her and she had accepted it wholeheartedly. The man so many considered the very embodiment of evil and cruelty had just made her cry in raw, pure pleasure.<br/><br/>She didn't know how she felt about that.<br/><br/>All she knew for sure was that she refused to believe he was as bad as the stories said. He wasn't. He couldn't be. Daishoga was hurt by his past, she had been able to tell as much as that earlier in the bath. Strange what an ugly past could make people do. Sajedene's eyes moved over to the Emperor who was still recovering and had not spoken a word. When he sat up, she returned to her earlier role of a personal servant.<br/><br/>"Are you alright, your Highness?"
