2 months later:
Anna sat outside Kristoff's cabin with a cup of hot chocolate and a blanket in front of a small fire pit while watching the snowflakes fall. It had been two months, since Kristoff and Elsa saved her from Hans and while she knew she was safe, it was still hard to get the memory of her struggle out of her head. She had gone through a month of physical therapy to help get the mobility of her shoulder back after being shot, but she thankfully had Kristoff there with her every step of the way.
Anna smiled as she thought of him. He had been so wonderful and patient with her through this whole ordeal. He never batted an eye whenever she needed something and even when she was less than pleasant and was snapping at him and cursing her luck, he didn't leave; he stayed and was strong enough for the two of them. They had spent the holidays together with Elsa and Frederick at a very subdue affair, but a happy one with Elsa so happy to have her daughter and her sister safe.
Anna's recording of Hans' confession proved useful shortly after that day and when the tape went to court and became public knowledge, Hans went to jail on all counts of rape, assault and kidnapping, for 20 years. His family then had to make a public statement apologizing to Anna and her family, but the damage was done. Their company stock was at an all time low as public opinion of the company was deemed unfavorable. Elsa and she tried to feel bad for the family, but after everything that happened they couldn't. Plus, it helped propel their own company to the next level.
After everything that went on with Hans, they had settled into a quiet life, but Anna couldn't help but feel like Kristoff wasn't happy. Still there were nights when her nightmares tormented her and left Kristoff without sleep. They hadn't been as intimate lately and there were time when she caught him looking at her with a far off gaze upon her. She was afraid to ask him what he was thinking about. She felt guilty for complicating his life and afraid that he had one foot out the door.
Before me, he had a happy carefree life, she thought sadly as a lone tear threatened to fall. I made his life difficult these past few months and that's not far to him. He'd be better off without.
So lost in her thoughts, she didn't hear Kristoff come into the house with fresh firewood or notice him leaning against the door looking at her. He made his way to the back of her chair and draped his arms around her, causing her to jump. When she turned to see his smirk, she softened, but looked at him with sad eyes.
"Sorry for scaring you, I just—"he paused when he noticed her glassy eyes and sad face. "Anna what's wrong?"
"Nothing," she said trying to get out of his embrace.
Kristoff wouldn't let her go, instead he moved to the front of her chair and kneeled in front of her, "Anna. I thought we were able to be honest with each other. You can tell me what's bothering you."
Anna looked deep into his eyes and then looked down at her cup and sighed, "We're not how it was before the whole Hans incident. You've been wonderful through this whole thing, but you're different with me now. Distant. We don't make love anymore. And there are times when you just look at me with, I don't know, disgust or pity, I can't decide. If you're planning on dumping me then do it quickly before I fall further in love with you. I can't stand anymore heartbreak." Anna couldn't fit the tears anymore as they fell.
Kristoff was shocked, he couldn't believe what he heard. He crushed her into an embrace. Each muffled sob quietly breaking his heart. The last thing he wanted to do was make her feel like this. If anything , he thought he was being supportive letting her have some time to herself to get over her trauma. He wanted her like crazy, not being so intimate with her was maddening.
"Anna," he whispered, lightly kissing the side of her face, tasting salty tears. "I'm an idiot." She looked at him confused, he continued. " I love you. I'm not going anywhere. I thought you might of needed time before you felt up to making love again. I didn't want to pressure you after everything you went through. I didn't know you felt this way. As for the way I look at you, it's not pity or disgust, it's guilt for not getting there sooner, it's fear that this would chase you away from me and it's longing for you to be with me again."
Anna wiped her nose with her sleeve as Kristoff kissed her nose. Picking her up gently he sat on the chair, covering them both with the blanket, before snuggling her to him. He rested his head on top of hers, taking in the whiff of coconut from her hair. He gently tilted her chin up to meet his glance, he touched his lips to hers and she responded gleefully. When they broke for air, he touched his forehead to hers. "Anna, that night you came home from the hospital, I just laid in bed taking you all in. I couldn't believe how much loved you. Watching you sleep, I felt a swelling my heart like never before. Before you I was just going through the motions in life. Women weren't anything special so I didn't date, but then a clumsy girl tripped and fell into my life and then suddenly there was a reason to enjoy life. When Hans came back into the picture and was threatening you and when he took Ester, I took it as I wasn't just protecting you, I was protecting my future." He gently kissed her nose, her cheeks and then he feathered her lips with a light kiss. "I was terrified of loosing you because I can only see my future with you and if anything were to happen to you I would have been lost. No one makes me feel like you. No one turns me on like you. And no one has ever loved me like you do."
Anna was crying again but this time happy tears. She had been so silly. He loved her completely and totally.
Suddenly, Kristoff shifted and bent down to grab a small hidden box from underneath the chair. It was a black felt box and when he opened it Anna gasped. Nestled in the box was a rather large diamond surrounded by what looked like two dolphins on the band in white gold.
She was so overwhelmed with shock she didn't see Kristoff's smirk before he leaned in to deeply kiss her. When he pulled away, he used his other hand to tilt her chin so his eyes met hers. "Marry me Anna and let me spend the rest of my life trying to make you as happy are you made me."
She couldn't stop the tears from falling, she didn't want to. Her heart was so full of love she thought it might burst. Unable to speak all she could do was nod her head excitedly and bounce alittle on his lap. Kristoff laughed as he slid the ring onto her finger and then found himself crushed into an embrace from Anna. He stood up taking Anna and the blanket with him and carried her into the house. Their kisses were hungry and full of need and passion. He carried her to the bedroom and kicked it shut with his foot, with her legs wrapped around his waist he lower her to the bed. He squeezed her hips as he trailed kissed along her neck and collarbone, making sure to hit that sensitive spot just below her ear for good measure. Her eyes rolled back into her head as she raked her nails across his back, causing him to emit a hiss from him. They quickly rid themselves of their clothing and pressed their naked bodies together. He played with her breast, rolling and kneading her pert nipples as she moaned loudly with arousal. When his mouth covered her breast, she arched her back towards him and moaned his name loudly. "Please Kristoff, I have to have you now," she begged. He chuckled and stopped his administration of her breast to give her a long deep kiss as he pulled her to him as he laid on the bed. Her hair cascaded over them like a curtain of red. She sat up and straddled him and in one quick motion he was inside of her. She let out a cry of pleasure. God she had missed this. They met each other thrust for thrust. His hands were on her butt and he grinded his hips into her. This was primal and lustful, but it made the two of climb together and when he felt her muscles tighten it put them both over the edge and they cried out in happiness with each other's names on their lips.
Anna feel on top of Kristoff in bliss and gently rolled off of him as he pulled the blanket over then and pulling her into his embrace. They lay there in happy bliss, before Anna turned in his embrace and kissed his lips. "Kristoff, thank you for loving me. Thank you for being there and thank you for asking me to be your wife. I get to stay with you forever now."
Kristoff chuckled and he beg building momentum for round two. When her underneath him now, writhing in ecstasy as he pumped two fingers into her and his thumb rubbed her clit, he smiled as he kissed her collarbone and said, "No Mrs. Bjorgman , Thank you for every day so far and every day to come. I love you." He covered her mouth with his and she rode out her first of many orgasms that day.
