Aiden moved to sit on the edge of the bed with Sarah on his lap and they held each other and kissed.
"I will never leave your side again.", Aiden spoke into Sarah's lips.
"I will not let you.", she whispered back.
Eventually, they stopped kissing.
Aiden still had a headache even though his mind was clear, and Sarah offered him a painkiller to manage the pain. "I assume that you will have headaches for a few days until you flush all those drugs out of your system. I read in the report, it causes addiction. When the medicine wears off, you get headaches and that prompts you to take more medication."
Aiden refused any medication. "I will bear with it. I don't want to risk any more drugs in my system that can blur my memory again. Besides, you are my painkiller."
"If it gets too bad, let me know. OK?"
Aiden nodded in agreement and asked: "What is the plan?"
"They dared to kidnap you and to convince you that some random woman is your fiancée. And I heard with my own ears that she tried getting into your room with a massage as an excuse. I will burn this place to the ground."
Aiden nodded in approval. If the roles are reversed, he would do the same thing. "How did you find me?"
"You will not believe it."
"Try me."
Sarah was not sure where to start, so she picked one. "I am the Grand Elder of the Lebedev family."
Aiden's eyes widened. "You are right. I don't believe you."
Sarah burst into giggles. "It's a long story."
Aiden fell on the bed and pulled Sarah down with him. "We have the whole night. I want to hear everything."
Sarah could not hide her disapproval. "Are we staying here overnight?"
Aiden shrugged. "You mentioned burning this place down. There is no pleasure in doing it while everyone is sleeping. They should be awake and see us coming. Is there a better place to attack than from the inside?"
Sarah had to agree that he made sense, but… "There is a mobile camp not far from here. People are on standby, eager to confirm that you are OK, and they are ready to attack this place if I get in trouble. We should let them know to rest for the night."
Aiden didn't see this as a problem. "Send a message."
"This place is technologically cut off. No signal is going through."
"I saw them using cell phones. Something is going through."
This only confirmed what Sarah suspected. "Signal jammers."
Aiden made a face. "I saw some strange antennas on several rooftops. I didn't think much about it but now that you mentioned it…"
"You think that those are used as signal jammers?"
Aiden nodded. "There is only one way to find out…"
About half an hour later, Sarah and Aiden returned to Aiden's room through the window.
The signal jammers were disabled, and Sarah sent a message to JoAnna and Sophia: "I found Aiden! He is OK. Jammers are offline and you can send drones to scout the area. Full attack at 8 AM. Cover all the exits, no one is allowed to escape. Aiden and I will attack from the inside. We have a safe spot for the night and we will meet you in the morning at the center of the enemy's base."
"Anything else?" Sarah asked while showing him the text.
Aiden smiled and pulled Sarah onto the bed next to him. "You got everything covered."
Sarah giggled when he started nuzzling her neck with his nose. Ah, her playful husband is back.
"I missed you…", Aiden mumbled while his hands made their way under her top.
Sarah inhaled sharply and grabbed his hands. "We can't do this. What if someone hears us?"
Aiden groaned in protest. "I can be quiet."
"It's not you that I am worried about."
Aiden was not willing to let her off easily. "We can do it just a little bit…"
Sarah stifled a laugh. "There is nothing little about you, my husband."
Aiden grinned. He liked what he heard, but two seconds later, his grin fell. It seems that they will not be lovey-dovey tonight!
He snorted. "Fine. We are leaving this place and going to the mobile camp."
"What happened with us attacking from the inside, and you being eager to hear what happened? And I want to know what you were up to in the last nine days."
Aiden's mood dropped. "Nine days… It must have been horrible for you. They kept me medicated and I was drifting in and out of it until this morning but you…"
Aiden stopped his words when they heard a knock on the door. Both Sarah and Aiden perked up their ears and they thought that maybe they imagined it, but then there was another knock followed by a woman's voice: "Alex? Are you awake?"
Sarah frowned. "Is that Sve-tla-na?"
Aiden got an idea. "Stay here…" He gave Sarah a quick kiss and pulled the blanket over her head.
Aiden dashed to the door and opened it. "How can I help you, Svetlana?"
"Uhm… I was walking nearby and thought I heard something." Svetlana said while craning her neck to peek into his room.
"Yeah. I was talking to myself. The headache is spreading to the neck and I was regretting not taking your offer for a massage. Is that offer still valid?"
Svetlana's eyes flashed. "Yes, yes…"
Aiden moved so that she can get in. "Please… If you can get my shoulders also, that would be amazing."
Svetlana got inside his room with a spring in her step. She heard the door closing behind her and then everything turned dark.
"Why is she here?" Sarah grumbled while looking at Svetlana who is sprawled on the floor.
"You have that anesthetic that knocks out people for hours, right? Give me the one that can keep her unconscious until the morning."
Sarah didn't understand what is Aiden up to. Instead of chasing Svetlana away, he let her in and knocked her out.
Sarah watched Aiden inject Svetlana with anesthetic and then he stuffed her into the wardrobe armoire and closed her in.
Aiden's wicked smile was on as he approached Sarah who was sitting on the bed. "With the hit, we can't predict when she will regain her consciousness, but now we know that she will be out until the morning. With this, there is no need to hold back the noise. If anyone is listening, they will think it's her."
Sarah's mouth was half-open. She could not believe that he risked getting caught by Svetlana (and whoever is watching from outside) just so that they can make love. In the middle of the enemy's base! But then… Aiden never cared about the location.
She enjoyed watching Aiden being playful and mischievous. That is her husband.
Sarah giggled as Aiden removed his clothes slowly while swaying his hips, giving her visual treat of a striptease.
Aiden hopped on the bed and took his time undressing Sarah while covering her body with his lips.
Before Sarah's clothes were off, her body was ablaze. He knows where to touch, how hard, and how long to push the right buttons and to stir the hunger inside her.
Sarah gripped his back and savored the feeling of Aiden all around her. There is nothing better than the sensation of his skin against hers. The stretch and the friction were divine and she let the orgasm rip through her and explode into a cry that shook her every nerve ending. They are back together. Just how it should be. Two souls as one.
