AN: I am so happy to see all the reviews and love for this story! Thanks so much to everyone!
Olivia finally looked away from Fitz to see that Abby was still in the tent staring at them. She looked shocked at the display between the two.
"Do you need anything else Abby?" Olivia asked dismissively. With a final look towards Fitz, Abby left without another word. Olivia rolled off of Fitz to lie down on her back next to where he was sitting.
"Well she has horrid timing." Olivia groaned, nothing could put a damper on her amorous feelings towards Fitz like Jake coming. Fitz chuckled at her expression then laid back so that he was next to her.
"Maybe it was a good thing, we have time Livvie, all the time in the world to get to know each other and have the kind of normal that not many people are allowed anymore. I could court you, then once we have our marriage ceremony in Vas Dothrak we can... behave as married people do." He didn't want to call it consummating the marriage because it would be so much more than that for the both of them, but he didn't want to call it anything else and insult her honor.
"I don't want to wait Fitz, I want this." Olivia said than realized she sounded like a spoiled child. "I'm sorry; it's just that I want to live with you as man and wife and not as friends." Fitz watched her for a moment than leaned over to kiss her fiercely, his tongue tracing her lips and his teeth biting her lip making them both breathless. When they broke apart for air Fitz asked her,
"I hope that isn't something you do with your friends Livvie."
"Only my really good friends." Olivia told him sounding serious causing him to get an angry look in his eyes and briefly calculate how long it would take to hunt down anyone that had ever dared to kiss his Livvie. His face relaxed again once she smirked and he realized that she was teasing him. He wrapped his arms around her and squeezed saying mine in Dothraki. She nodded quickly than pulled away and asked
"Mine?"
"Yours, my sun and stars." Olivia borrowed back into his chest and relaxed into the feeling of his arms around her. Eventually it was time to separate and go to dinner. Olivia was not looking forward to being distant from Fitz after the progress they just made.
"Do we have to go?" Olivia asked wanting to stay curled up in their sanctuary. Before Fitz could respond he heard her stomach growl. He laughed, raising an eyebrow indicating that he didn't think he had to answer her.
"Well I certainly can't let my wife go hungry can I?" Before Olivia could respond to his sweetness Fitz said, "Because you truly turn into a bear when you do not eat!"
"Fitzgerald!" Olivia said pretending to be shocked by his half true teasing. She pouted at him earning an apologetic smirk and a shoulder shrug, than a thoughtful look crossed his face and he wrapped her back up in his arms.
"Why don't you want to go to dinner?" Fitz asked her seriously, ever since she learned Dothraki she looked forward to going to dinner and sitting with Quinn and some of the other women talking and laughing. "Is it Abby?" He knows Abby often didn't sit with everyone else, she retired to her tent after speaking with a few of his men, usually Leo or David so he can't imagine that Olivia would let that run her off.
"I certainly wouldn't let her run me away from my husband or my people." Olivia told him, once again
making him crazy with desire for her.
"Then why not?" Fitz said rubbing his hands on her legs, finding her dagger and nuzzling his head into her neck.
"I like this." Olivia said a bit shyly.
"Me too, but you're not going to distract me wife." Fitz said still curled around her small body.
"That's why I don't want to go to dinner or out of this tent ever. I like this, I like us." Olivia told him enjoying the warmth of his body and melting into the feeling of his breath on her neck.
"I didn't know it bothered you." Fitz said thinking about what he may have missed, he could usually tell from Olivia's facial expressions if she was mad or hurt, as she could with him.
"With Jake coming I want to spend time being with you before he comes and taints it." Olivia said sounding resigned to not letting him ruin things for her but knowing that he would definitely try.
"Let him try, he is nothing Livvie and we are everything, I won't let him come between us, but since he is coming to check on your status I say we let him see how happy you are to be away from your father and out from under his thumb." Olivia snorted,
"You mean the truth?" Fitz laughed at her eye roll.
"Yes we show him that his effort to sell you off to the highest bidder didn't make you miserable and that we are thoroughly pleased with the match. I have no intention of hiding my affection for you in front of him." Fitz told her using his soft voice that he seemed to reserve for her. His tone quickly changed to that of the Khal and he said, "If a benefit of our happiness is his ire and eventual mistake, well that's all the better."
"So no more riding silently next to you, sitting away from you after riding all day when all I want is to be in our arms or getting fighting lessons from someone else?" Olivia asked excited, it was times like these that he was reminded that Olivia was only eighteen, but around her he felt eighteen too, though he was a decade past.
"Olivia I never want to be away from you, watching you ride with Harrison and eat with Quinn killed me. I wanted you next to me; I wanted my arms around you every time." Olivia noticed that he didn't mention training with Charlie. Fitz was a much better fighter so she wished he would train her instead but she thought maybe he was too busy.
"And what about after dinner, will you teach me to fight?" Olivia asked, eyes bright, sitting up so that he would know that she was serious.
"Yes my little warrior." He told her, knowing that she must have been excited at the prospect if she didn't hit him for questioning her ferociousness. As soon as he confirmed that he would train her and that they didn't have to distance themselves in public any longer she was nearly running out of their tent.
"What's taking so long? Your wife is starving!" Olivia said to Fitz who was still lying dazed on the bed. Once he got up and began to follow her Olivia seemed nullified, but she stopped before they went to join the others.
"Oh and don't think you won't pay for calling me little again." Fitz groaned. He had seen her fighting with Charlie, she learned quickly and moved even faster, and his Livvie wasn't afraid to fight dirty. He'd watched from afar as she pulled hair kicked shins and stomped fingers. At one point he had even seen her take an extra stake from a tent and strike at Charlie's feet. She could definitely go from a proper lady raised in a castle to a brawler; he was addicted to watching her move.
They sat together at dinner, Olivia sitting between Fitz's spread legs and chatting with some of the people that had settled down near them. Olivia was telling Quinn that Fitz was going to train her from now on and he heard Quinn confide in Olivia that she hoped they would join; apparently it had been too long since someone bested Harrison or Charlie. Olivia was hesitant to confirm that he would join them, but Fitz had no qualms about it.
"We would be happy to join you tonight." After watching and being jealous of Olivia with Harrison and Charlie for days it would feel good to toss them around a bit, even though he now knew he had no reason to be jealous it still irked him that precious time was taken from him. Quinn blushed upon realizing that he was listening to their conversation, typically Olivia and Quinn were able to converse and the Dothraki didn't understand them, but she forgot Fitz knew the language as well.
"Thank you Khal, I look forward to watching you fight, I have heard that your style is unlike any other." Quinn said trying to get passed her embarrassment.
"Yes, I haven't seen you fight either, I am very much looking forward to it." Olivia said still somewhat used to being formal with him in front of others, but it was true she hadn't seen him fight.
They stayed by the fire a bit longer waiting for people to go to bed before Fitz suggested that they begin and everyone else followed him to a spot away from the tents and other people. Everyone began warming up and stretching out their muscles from sitting by the fire for so long, except Fitz. He stood and simply watched the others. Mostly Olivia as she bent at the waist the stretch her legs. Olivia stayed where she was once she felt Fitz's eyes on her, having an idea of what watching her was doing to his resolve about waiting until their wedding. Fitz caught a hint of her smirk and decided to help her stretch. He walked up right behind her so that her back was to his front.
"You enjoy torturing me don't you?" He whispered in her ear once she straightened up.
"Yes." She told him without shame, turning in his arms to look him in the eyes. When Olivia realized that they weren't alone and had drawn the others attention she broke eye contact but didn't leave his arms. Everyone was awaiting Fitz's lead, but normally Charlie and Harrison would take turns showing her moves than having her and Quinn practice them.
"Ready?" He asked them without explanation, Olivia figured that was something that they would do regularly before she joined them and took up most of Fitz's attention. They nodded and Fitz released Olivia, who moved the stand next to Quinn. As soon as she was a safe distance away both Charlie and Harrison went at Fitz. Fitz stood perfectly still until they were in striking distance than he reacted so quickly that if Olivia had blinked she might have missed it.
Olivia was enthralled as she watched her husband. Any worries she might have had for his safety were quickly extinguished. She watched as he shook off attack after attack as if he were swatting at flies. It took twice as long for Fitz to get winded by the effort as it did the other two men. His body was water the way it ebbed and flowed to block any attack they tried, at one point he looked bored. Once Olivia saw that expression the fight was over. Fitz went on the offensive and disarmed both Harrison and Charlie. Once Harrison than Charlie conceded the fight to him Olivia ran and wrapped herself around Fitz. He was breathing heavily and had a few scratches. Olivia noticed that there was blood coming from his lip where Harrison had landed an easy blow while Fitz was distracted by Charlie. She swiped at the blood then kissed him where it had flowed from.
"Tent. Now." Olivia said also breathing heavily, she had no idea how sexy violence could be. In her experience it was terrifying, but watching Fitz and knowing that Jake would soon be with them just reminded her how strong and capable her husband was. All fear she had about his arrival was extinguished. Now all she wanted to do was show her husband just how crazy watching him had driven her. Fitz didn't say anything as he kept Olivia in his arms; her legs wrapped around his waist, his hands on her thighs holding her, and turned and walked her back to the tent.
