((That's naughty.))
"As you command..."
*Rochester squirmed, aiding her in disrobing him and silently hoping that she wouldn't take too long to get to...whatever it was that she was getting to. He purred contented, reaching for her, his hands blindly searching, even as his lashes fell shut.*

((What did you expect?))
*As always, Shadi delighted in her power. Or Rochester's responsiveness. It was all the same to her. She loved that he loved her being in control--she loved the other way, too.
And she did not make him wait long. The folds of her skirt fell over them as she moved, rustling in counterpoint.*
**FADE OUT**

((Well....you have me there.))
***FADE IN***
*Rochester rested, delightfully sweaty and exerted. He held her close to his prone form, savoring the simple act of just...being with her. For the briefest of moments he wondered why there ever needed to be anyone else. Every time was like it was new and special and at the moment, he felt completely satisfied. He stroked her cheek gently.*
"I guess I forgive you..." *He murmured playfully.* "Do you forgive me?"

*Shadi grinned, her face flushed and happy.*
"Of course, silly," *she said, nuzzling his hand.* "You were just being you. And you're who I love."

*There. That. This, with her. Her words filled him with the most sublime nirvana. And made him flush deeper than he ever had. Even the powder did little to hide it (though a lot had been smudged away). He pulled her close and kissed her tenderly.* "And I you, Shadi. More than I ever thought possible." You...my private miracle.

*His words made her glow. She wondered if he could see it, could feel the heat of her. She wriggled the rest of the way out of her dress so they could lie together, skin to skin, basking.*
"I guess that makes us pretty special, then," *she said, not-so-secretly proud of herself without lessening at all the sincerity of her regard for him.*

*Rochester sighed contentedly, her bare skin against his own, as if her could feel her heart beating in time with his.*
"Without question." *He answered, just as happy as she was proud.*
"I never expected to find that...to find you."
*He smiled, looking down to where she was nestled so perfectly.*

"I didn't really expect to be here," *she observed quietly.* "But I'm glad you did."
*Still, she wondered. She wasn't all that special. Not really. She was just a kid from the street who'd gotten lucky. Wouldn't Rochester react the same to any urchin you cleaned up enough to notice the lack of manners? On the other hand, with what they'd been through, she didn't doubt him one bit.*

"Me too."
*He inhaled deeply, savoring the moment, her scent still on the air.*
"And you're happy? Here with me?"

"When you're here," *Shadi said honestly.* "When you're not..."
I'm bored. I walk. I steal.

*Rochester pursed his lips. That's why things aren't so simple. But he managed to smile nonetheless. Brushing back a lock of her hair, he answered just as honestly.*
"Is there something I can do? I...I don't know if I can be here all the time."
*He softened his tone.*
"You'd wear me out in no time." *He joked gently.*

*Shadi shook her head, chagrined.*
"No, no. I mean, I don't mean you need to be here... to entertain me. It's just... I spent so long fending for myself, and it took up all my time. Now--I mean, ever since Nadir, really--it's all taken care of and I don't know what to do with myself. That's not really your problem."

*He cradled her face gently in his hands.*
"Shadi, I'll gladly take whatever burdens you need me to. I want to be able to be here for you. To take care of you."

*Shadi smiled crookedly.*
"The burden of having everything I could possibly want?" *she quipped.* "What do you people do? That's what I want to know. When you're not just surviving, what do you live for?"

Umm...
*She did have him there. Rochester had never really thought to much on it, it had been rather easy to keep himself entertained.*
"Well, darling...there are parties and social events and sweet young things to discover..."
*He lifted her chin softly, playfully studying her. He let go with a shrug.*
"And of course, trying every form of chocolate that man creates...but perhaps that's just me."
