Hi everyone ;)

This weekend, I'll be working on my new chapters for HTTYD2 and Riders and Defenders of Berk so you might not be seeing any updates for this story for a short while. But don't worry, I'll still continue it ;)

For now, enjoy this rather…hot update. Nothing too…intense. Just plenty enough Rated T material to make your feels go haywire ;)

Note: I do NOT own anything.

Chapter Four

Zenna woke up a few hours later, the night already settling into Berk, to the sound of Eret softly whimpering. Looking at the former trapper's pained face Zenna deduced that he was having a nightmare…

"Eret? Eret?" Zenna whispered, trying to shake him awake but to no avail. Eret was too lost in his nightmare…

(Nightmare Starts)

'Fourteen year old Eret thrashed about in the grip of one of Drago's soldiers while another soldier shoved his father to Drago, who was glaring daggers at the young lad's father.

"No! Da, no!" Eret yelled as his father pleaded to the madman. "Kill me if you want! Just not in front of my son, I beg you!" Eret's father begged, already accepting his fate but also worrying that his son would be scarred for life should he watch him die. "Don't kill him! He's my dad! He's the only family I have left! Please!" Eret screamed, not bothering to hold back his tears.

Drago merely grinned sadistically.

"If there's one thing I hate more than men who refuse…it's men who beg." He sneered. Eret could have shut his eyes, but he was too paralyzed by fear…as he watched Drago run his bull hook through his Da's body.

He wasn't sure who screamed in pain louder: him or his father.

"Son…be brave, Eret…It'll be alright, son…I…love…you…"

Eret could only watch, transfixed in horror, as his father breathed his last and his whole world caved in. The poor lad cried, screamed, in agony as Drago mutilated his father's dead body and threw the remains into the frigid waters. His father was gone…His Da, the only family he ever had, gone…

"Release him." Drago ordered the soldier who was holding the lad tight. The soldier obeyed and released Eret, who just curled up into a ball as he sobbed uncontrollably. "Da…No, Da…" Eret cried softly, tears running down his face. Then Drago's shadow loomed over him menacingly. Eret couldn't stop shaking as Drago forced him to stand.

"You're Da's no longer here. Now, you belong to me…" Drago told him in a low voice, eyes glinting with malice. "I don't belong to you…You killed my Da, you monster!" Eret cried out, trying and failing to sound brave. Drago glared daggers at him and then began to wave his bull hook in the air, screaming maniacally.

Eret fearfully began to back away from the madman. Suddenly…Drago's Bewilderbeast emerged from the depths! The boy's amber brown eyes widened in absolute terror at the sight. He'd seen dragons before…but never one as massive as this…

"You will obey me! Or else…" Drago threatened him as the Bewilderbeast readied its ice blast! Eret tried to run, but there was no escape. The only thing he could do now was hope that his death would be swift.

And scream for his father.

"Da, help me!" Eret screamed as the Bewilderbeast fired at him! Then, just as the ice neared him, Eret heard his father screaming as well…

"ERET!"

Then everything went black…'

(Nightmare Ends)

"Eret…"

"Eret…!"

"Eret!"

"ERET, WAKE UP!"

The former dragon trapper woke up with a gasp. For a second, he forgot where he was. That's when Eret felt someone's soft hands gently holding his face. "Eret? Eret, it's okay…You're safe. Just look at me, Eret…It's alright…" Zenna whispered soothingly as Eret blinked his eyes at her.

That's when Eret realized that it was all just a nightmare. He was home in bed, safe and sound, with Zenna lying next to him.

"Was it Drago again?" Zenna asked softly. Eret nodded. "I saw him kill Da all over again…And it still hurts so much…" he whispered, the nightmare replaying in his head over and over again until he wasn't sure if he could handle the pain anymore.

Zenna noticed the tears beginning to well up in Eret's eyes and gently embraced him, letting her boyfriend bury his face into her shoulder as he began to cry silently. Eret, normally, would have been too embarrassed to cry. But Zenna…well, she understood him. And it really was too painful for him to bear. Eret couldn't help it. He missed his Da so much…

"It still hurts, Zenna…It still hurts…" he whimpered quietly as the tears soon stopped. "I know…I know…" Zenna said softly, hugging him. Once Eret calmed down he and Zenna just stayed there in his bed, just embracing each other in the dark as the fire in the hearth had gone out.

"I'm sorry for making you worry about me…" Eret apologized, feeling guilty. "You're my boyfriend, Eret. It's my job to worry about you." Zenna told him, realizing that it was already dark out.

And that meant…a wonderful opportunity for her.

"Shouldn't you be going home? I think El's probably wondering where you are right now…" Eret asked Zenna. The one-eyed Fiersome lady merely smiled.

But something about her smile…made Eret uneasy.

"Uh, Zen…?" Eret mumbled as his girlfriend smiled in a manner he could only describe right now as seductive. Without warning, Zenna just closed the gap between her and Eret in a lingering, needy kiss. Eret was stunned. But, then again, he probably should have seen this coming. The two of them alone in bed, already too dark for prying eyes to notice them…and Zenna's fiercely possessive nature over him…it was a surefire recipe for something wild.

Zenna didn't hear Eret's muffled yelp as she kissed him harder. Twelve years…12 whole freaking years of being apart from her childhood sweetheart had made her and her lips starving for him. Finally, Eret saw that there was no way he was getting out of this make out session and decided to just go along for the ride. He started kissing her back, savoring the taste and feel of Zenna's sweet, soft lips against his. But after a while, he started wanting more and gently prodded his beloved's bottom lip with his tongue. Zenna moaned as their kiss became more passionate. Her hands tangled themselves in Eret's raven hair while he held her close and brushed her long, black hair back.

When they finally broke apart for air, both Zenna and Eret were panting heavily and their faces were both flushed.

"You…sure know…how to surprise me…" Eret said breathlessly, still feeling the rush from the kiss. "I've been wanting…to do that…for years…" Zenna told him, breathless as well.

Then Eret smiled, deciding to surprise her as well.

He gently kissed Zenna on the forehead, before gliding his lips down to her cheek…and then down to her lovely neck. "Well I've been wanting to do this for years as well…" he whispered, trailing kisses up Zenna's beautiful neck. Tilting her head back, Zenna softly moaned as Eret's kisses turned into love bites that gave her nothing but pleasure.

"Holy Shields, Eret…" she whimpered softly as her boyfriend began to gently nip and suck at her pulse point, leaving a mark of conquest. "You like that?" Eret whispered to her, nuzzling her lovingly. "Mmm-hmmm…So much…" Zenna purred contentedly.

Unbeknownst to the couple currently making out on the bed, a certain one-eyed female Night Fury and a certain former Chief's male Rumblehorn…were their unlucky audience.

Stryka looked at the two humans committing such a heinously, mentally scarring act once and immediately turned around. Skullcrusher couldn't see himself, but he knew that he was turning green in places where he shouldn't be green and turned around as well.

'Skullcrusher…do me a favor and just claw my eye out already…' Stryka mumbled, feeling mortified that she had seen her non-dragon sister in such a…lascivious state. 'I would gladly do that for you, my Queen…But I do not think that the King will approve…' Skullcrusher respectfully refused, knowing that he could very well be in deep trouble with Toothless if he were to ever lay a claw on the Queen.

Looks like they were just gonna have to look away and cover their ears for as long as their Riders were doing their strange…mating ritual.

'Gods above, if this is just making out I do not want to attend their marriage consummation…' Skullcrusher groaned along with his Rider, who was still making out with Zenna, shuddering at the mental image he suddenly gave himself. 'Oh Odin, you just had to bring that up?' Stryka sighed, covering her ears as Zenna moaned loudly.

In other words, the Riders had a really good night. Their dragons…nope.

Ending their make out session for the night with one last passionate kiss, Eret and Zenna cuddled together in bed. Zenna was smiling so hard, her cheeks kind of hurt. Eret, on the other hand, felt the pull of sweet slumber beckoning him. As Zenna gently stroked his cheek, Eret managed to sleepily mumble, "I love you, Zenna…I love you forever…" before he fell asleep. Zenna smiled and laid her head on Eret's chest. "Right back at you…" she whispered before she fell asleep again.

Skullcrusher and Stryka both heaved sighs of relief at that point.

Thor Almighty, today had been a crazy day…

Read and review. Those two things make me very happy ;)
