Desolate

Charity

    A week later Alli was on her way to Cago to meet up with the General. Her heart raced as she drew nearer the city. Her mind continuously ran over scenarios, and what ifs and she prayed she could keep herself under control though she knew anything could happen. She knew if the Generals brother was to be around her she could not break no matter what he put her through. Alli felt somewhat unsure as to how to tell the General she lost the child. Her thoughts were still wandering and racing when she pulled up to the motel she was to meet the General. She started trembling when she finally parked and got out to stretch, she could see he was looking down at her through the window. Being herself and needing to know her surroundings Alli made sure to note every vehicle and building around, as she got her things together and walked up the stairs, she was about to knock when the General opened the door.

    For a long moment they stood and stared at each other before he reached over and pulled her into his arms as he shut the door behind her. The General was glad she had contacted him for business. He had truly missed her and having her in his arms he radiated love towards her. He had loved her more than he ever wanted to admit. Keeping her in his arms he kissed her forehead, then sat down with her in his lap. He noticed she was crying. Right then knew if he could have his way he would never let this woman slip away again...

"Why are you hear my love? Whats happened?"

"I'm looking for Charity, the girl from Vegas..."

"What is the militia willing to trade for the girl, my love?" He could hear desperation in her voice when she had spoke.

"Whatever you want...." Alli whispered softly.

"What if I say you...?" The General inquired.

"Then I am to take her place." she replied shrinking in spot. The General could tell if he hadn't have been holding her she might have tried to run from him.

"I wont ask that of you my love, but i wont lie, I do want you." He then lifted her chin and kissed her softly and fully on her lips.

    In hopes she would relax some he told her that his brother had admitted what he had done, and apologetic for everything. He promised to do anything she wanted or needed personally or professionally. He could feel her relaxing in his arms and was pleased she still trusted in him. He kissed her again, and was thrilled she kissed him back, they both knew he always had meant what he said, and was always good as his word. She softly told him of the loss of their child, which made the man hurt deeply. She let him cry it out though his people would not have liked him to be so weak... Then in the moments that followed his kisses became needy in which caused him to carry her to bed and made love to her, for once she allowed him too.

    Alli awoke to find the General asleep with his head on her stomach, his hair was fanned over her shoulder and across her breasts, she had never known how long it was for he always kept it up. Without thinking she started to run her fingers through it, before she remembered he didn't like it. He had such pride for his hair, and she was in awe by it, it took her a moment to realize he was awake and staring up at her. For a split second she felt a moment of fear, and a deep blush rose up her cheeks. His dark brown eyes looked amused and he was smiling as he started to slid up her body allowing his hair to follow his kisses. He liked how it made her giggle, and loved the admiration in her eyes as she was looking at his hair, before she knew he was watching her. He loved feeling her hands play with his hair and asked her for more, then he made love to her several times over till they were both fully spent. He had whispered softly words of his native tongue as he worshiped her body, which was different then the way of treating woman of his up bring.

After he enjoyed two full days and nights he then Requested that she give him a week to get Charity safely to her, there in the motel. Alli agreed and did as he asked and stayed at the motel for her own safety. He had known Charity wasn't the intended target, so getting her free and clear he didn't feel would take long, he was correct within a few days he delivered the girl to Alli. After a long embrace and making sure the girl wasn't harmed Alli knew it was time to go home. Though the General felt jealousy and pain for her leaving to go back home to Lee, he knew it was the best thing to keep her safe. The army didn't like she had been a spy and some still wanted her to hang. The women had packed up the car, and Charity was already in the front seat when Alli turned to look at the General she was instantly pulled into his embrace. He did not want her to leave, but he knew she could not stay on this side either. It was a bitter sweet moment for him, Alli promised to let him know if she ran into trouble. She had also promised not to be a stranger if they were in the same area. His lips parted as he tried to tell her to be safe she smiled up at him and hugged him a little tighter. Alli thanked him again, the General the caught her chin and kissed her fiercely on the lips. He hugged her to him one more time before he opened her door, and let her in. He blinked back his tears as he watched her drive away. He hoped that Lee loved her as much as she did him, for the General, Alli was the only one he loved..
