Rating: PG

Pairing: Richard/Denna with referances to Richard/Kahlan

Summary: Denna's thoughts on Richard in Resurrection

Authors Notes:  I have NEVER shipped Richard and Denna before but lately I have totes been shipping them and I blame the Cracky Seeker FB RP and adi_dion  (AKA Denna) evilgmbethy (AKA Richard) and madmguillotine cuz I said "Maybe I should write an R/D fic" and she was all "Please write and R/D fic cuz there isn't enough." So here is my VERY SHORT R/D fic.  BTW no beta and I wrote this very fast and on a whim so work with me.

Disclaimer: I don't own them. I just like to bend them to my will.

AND On a completly unrelated topic... I HAZ A LAYOUT NAO!!!!!!! THANK YOU theonlyspl  for being awsm and making my amazing sexy header!!! *HUGGLES FOREVAH*
 

 

What if it didn’t work? Now she was worried. She had known that she would never have his heart as it belonged to Kahlan but at least she could have his body. But now that she had done it, killed the man she loved, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to bring him back.  Sure she had done it before but that was different. That was before dark magic was applied to his body. What if this sorcerer didn’t really know what he was doing?

She held her breath while the sorcerer recited the incantation that would place Grix’s soul in Richard’s body. She hoped that it would work but still longed for Richard’s soul to inhabit his body, to care for her the way her cares for the confessor. But she knew that would never be. This was better than nothing.

When the sorcerer motioned for her to administer the breath of life she made her way to him as fast as she could, bending over his head and breathing the wispy thread of magic into his lungs. When she saw him inhale she felt like she could finally breathe. When his warm brown eyes opened and stared right into hers, her heart skipped a beat. He was hers, well his body was. Because she knew even in death his heart belonged to the confessor.

When he spoke her heart melted and she wanted nothing more than to take him to her bedchamber but she knew it would have to wait. Taking over D’Hara is far more important than the pleasures of flesh, no matter how fine the flesh may be.

She watched him with the generals and it was easy for her to forget that this wasn’t really Richard even though in the back of her mind there was still that nagging thought that this wasn’t what she really wanted. She really wanted the real thing, all of him, not just his body. She wanted to win his heart but knew that would never happen now.

After the long day she finally was going to indulge herself in what she had waited so long for. She ordered him to her tent and told him to undress. Her eyes were wandering over his muscular form as he did so.   He was eager to please her but she wanted to take her time and enjoy this. That was her mistake.

When Kahlan and Cara came in she knew it was over. She tried to fight the inevitable but it was useless. They succeeded in getting away with Richard’s body after Kahlan killed him. She knew that they would find a way to bring him back and she also knew they would be coming for her. She would be ready when they did because if she couldn’t have his heart or his body she was going to hurt his heart, starting with the wizard.
