Author's Note: Rated M in Part 1
It didn't take either of us long to find our way to the bed when we got home, something I was thankful for as I had grown accustomed to his touch and how it made me feel. Could I go does without it, yes; just as I had done for the years before. But we were adults now, young adults granted, but adults none the less. We weren't traditional, we didn't follow the laws of the land and usually made things up as we went along with most of choices, why should this be any different.
For Thor's sake, most were married closer to the age of eighteen in our customs, and Hiccup and I are twenty. Already breaking a custom there, which is honestly probably why so many people have harped on us about when we were getting married. We have been together for a couple of years now, and it started back on the Edge. And granted, we'd been betrothed since we were eighteen, we haven't even brought up marriage unless it was mentioned by someone else like our parents.
With the inclusion of dragons into our customs, so many traditions were being rewritten as the day of it arrived on the calendar, maybe that's also why neither Hiccup nor I felt any regret doing what we do. Plus, as awkward as it was, if our parents at least suspected our actions and did not take outright stances against it then, as far as I am concerned, we are fine. By the gods, all they even say is to be careful which only translates as: Don't get caught, and don't get pregnant. Those are two rules we had no issues following.
I feel my back arch as thoughts race through my mind. As quickly as I think of something, it's gone from my mind as I bite my lower lip and stifle a moan as I feel Hiccup trace his tongue and fingers between my legs. We certainly weren't traditional, we enjoyed exploring our bodies, making each other feel good.
I can't fight the moan as it escapes my lips when I feel him slip a finger inside me, the feeling is different than his member but not unwelcome as he explores with it. His lips and tongue still tracing outside as I grip the blanket and turn my head to the side. He had grown adept in making the heat within my body build and explode before even trying to use his own member.
My legs shakes as my hips rise of the bed, I feel his arm hook under my thigh and around my waist as his tongue follows his other hands' finger inside me. I hook my feet on the under hang on his bed to help give me something to press against as I rock my hips against his lips. Still gripping the sheets as I bite my lower lip, a long-drawn moan escaping. I feel the heat build and explode from within me as he doesn't slow in his practiced attention. It's taking every ounce of my willpower to not just cry out in pleasure, but the last thing we need is more questions being asked.
I slowly feel my hips spasm and shakes as I lower them back to the bed, my legs growing weak as I feel his lips start tracing up my abdomen. Stopping at each one of my nipples, he lathers them with his tongue before wrapping them in his lips, one at a time, making sure each one is getting proper attention. My soft moans are his guide as I feel him gently allow his teeth to nibble on them, just hard enough to send goosebumps across my skin and nod hard enough to hurt. Kissing up to my neckline, I feel his knees wench in between mine as his lips find that spot on my neck and make my eyes roll back with a smile. I feel him press his member against me, though not entering as he breathes against my neck.
"Ready?" He asks softly and I bite my lip, smiling and shaking my head.
"Wait." I say softly and grab his hands, keeping our knees and legs connected, I roll us over and slip my legs over him so I'm straddling him. "Allow me." I whisper, my hand tracing his chest as I kiss his lips softly.
"My all means, Milady." He says softly as I feel his hands glide up my hips and rest softly on my waist. I can feel his stiff member pressing against me as I slowly grind my hips, layering his member with my heat. His breath hitches as I feel his member throb beneath me. "Don't. Tease me, Astrid." He says breathlessly as he gazes up to me. Smiling, I lean in and my hands find his on my hip and our fingers interlocking as I pin them above his head.
"Is that a threat, Chief?" I say teasingly, my lips tracing his but not pressing fully against his as I rock my hips against his member, not allowing it to enter me and feeling it throb beneath the pressure I'm putting on it.
"More of a promise." He answers, reaching his head up and pecking me on the lips as I smile. Leaning in, I bite his lip and tug on it before kissing him fully, his grip in my hands tightening as I feel his hips rocking against mine. As though he's trying to rock and grind in such a way that his member slides on in.
"What're you promising then, Chief? Regale me?" I ask against his lips and he smiles.
"You are evil." He says simply and we both laugh softly together before I lean in and kiss him, my tongue finding his as I release one of his hands and slide my hand down beneath me to his member. Still mid-kiss, I find his member and help to guide it so that just the tip enters me.
"Am I still evil?" I ask teasingly, not pressing all the way down. The smile on his face is unmistakable, filled with passion and a bit of mischief. I feel his hip move before thrusting upwards, and his full member fills me up in a heartbeat in such a way that I release a long moan as my hips shudder briefly.
"Nice." I say under my breath as my free hand finds his and they interlock again, with both of his hands now pinned above his head. Planting a long-drawn kiss against his lips, I rock my hips and glide them across his. "Allow. Me." I saw between breaths against his lips and he doesn't argue, all he does is press further against my lips making talking meaningless. Our bodies knew what to do now, all we had to do was let it happen and enjoy it. And enjoy it I did.
Feeling every inch of his stiff, throbbing member moving and grinding within me was enough to make my eyes roll and my arms to grow weak. My hips grinding hard against his as I kept the pressure down, he was used to this, he loved it too. I feel his hips rock in a small circle, up down, back and forth. My hips moving similarly grinding left to right, back and forth, his member never leaving within me for very long as it explored every iota of space within. He may be the only one I have or will ever be with, and that was perfectly okay, because to me, it was a perfect fit.
I feel the heat building up within me again and my movement increases as I hear him moan against my lips. Something about hearing him moan drove me over the edge, same thing for him with me I would wager; knowing we are making each other feel that good. My speed increases as I feel my heat begin to climax and start to explode, a feeling I was becoming familiar with as I leaned my head into his neck and pillow beneath him. I bite down on his neck as my hip movement speed keeps increasing and I let myself moan long and loud into his neck, muffling the sound but it still felt good to let loose.
"Astrid, I'm going too.." He stops his hip movements as mine climaxes, my legs shaking and growing weak above him as I can feel his member throb. In that moment, I wanted him to just release his own passion within me and care not for the consequences. I slide my hips forward so his member leaves, then slide my hips back so I'm sitting back a top of it.
"Did you…" I ask sheepishly, my face flushed with embarrassment, sprinkled with concern. He shakes his head and I smile outwardly but frown inwardly. "I don't think that's fair…" I mutter beneath my breath, still feeling his stiff member beneath me.
"What?" He asks with a real look of concern as I shake my head. Releasing his hands, I slide down his body, my knees walking me down his chest until his stiff member is in front of me. I glance up at him and smile as I grip it with my hands and lightly trace it with my tongue. It had just been within me, which makes the taste something unique, different. The smell too, neither were bad, they were unique; intoxicating even, but that may be the passion talking. We certainly we not traditional, not in any sense of the word.
I wrap my lips around his member and my tongue traces the tip of it as I slide my fingers around him and slowly continue the same motion we had been doing with our hips. I wanted him to be able to release, it wasn't fair that he was the one who had to restrain himself when I got to feel everything. He was still on the edge when we had stopped, barely containing himself from releasing within me that when my lips wrapped around him and my fingers started their movements, it wasn't long before I heard him moan softly.
"I'm going too…" he whispers again, and I couldn't answer but if I could, all I would've said was; do it. And he did, and I feel his passionate heat explode into my mouth, I keep my fingers moving and my tongue tracing, letting him completely release. I hear his grunt as his legs shudder, and he says my name again barely above his breath.
Unlocking my lips from his member and swallowing, I crawl up back on top of him and lean over to the side of the bed, grabbing a towel and mug of water. Taking a drink to clear my throat and wiping both his and my own area down before letting the towel fall beside the bed, I lean back and lay on him. We'd found it useful to have both of those on hand; we may not be traditional but we both valued cleanliness.
Rolling his head over, he looks at me and without a care or thought to the contrary, kisses me on the lips and sighs.
"You're amazing." He says softly and I shake my head.
"You're amazing, babe. Thank you." I say and rest my head against his shoulder and we both drift happily into sleep together, naked in each other's embrace.
After such an amazing night, it was hard to ever imagine wanting to get out of bed or disturb this beautiful sleeping blonde viking that was resting so peacefully in my arms; my arms. We were breaking so many customs together, some for the better, some for the worst but it didn't matter because we had each other. I would never take this beautiful woman for granted again so long as I lived. She was my heart, soul and future.
As I wake, I softly move my hand to brush the loose strands of hair from her face so I can take time to admire it for just a moment longer. It was daybreak now, which was later than either of us usually slept but well before mid-morning. As I brush her hair, I see her lips curl into a soft smile as her hand slides from my chest to my shoulder and she lets loose a soft breath.
"Good morning." I whisper softly, and she nods lightly.
"Good morning." She answers, her eyes still not opening, but I feel her leg move to reconnect with mine as she rubs the side of her face against my shoulder.
"Sleep well?" I ask quietly and she just nods softly for a moment.
"Mmm. Better than normal to be honest." She answers, finally opening her eyes and hers meeting mine, she leans in and kisses me softly on the lips. "Went to bed very relaxed" She adds, and I smile.
"Me too." I answer and return the kiss. My hand finding hers as we share this brief moment of peace before we started our mid-day recon. This right here was yet another thing I had that was worth fighting for. I'd never let anything happen to Toothless, but I'd also never let anything happen to Astrid; not if it was within my power to prevent.
We stayed like that for another thirty minutes easily, both awake with our eyes closed softly as we just enjoyed each other's warmth. Eventually we were fully disturbed as Toothless made his way in from the roof from outside and plopped onto his heat rock, causing us both to snicker as I look at her and smile.
"Guess we should get up." I say, more as a question than a statement and she groans, leaning her head into my chest.
"Do we have too?" She asks rhetorically and before I can answer, feel her finger press against my lips. "Yes, I know we have too. I'm just…" she pauses and scrunches up to me. "Mmm, very comfortable." She finishes, closing her eyes lightly again as I smile.
"Me too, there's nothing I'd rather do than spend the day with you like this." I admit and she opens her eyes with a smile, and I nod. "Okay, more than just this, but this." I add suggestively and she nods before slowly sitting up, the blanket falling to her hips as the sun filters in, giving me time to just lay back and admire her.
"What?" She asks with a smile as she scoots.
"You're beautiful." I answer simply and see her cheeks flush red as she gets up.
"And yours. Come on, let's clean up and get dressed." She says and I nod, fighting my way out of the bed.
After reattaching my leg, we both take the extra time to help scrub each other down before we put on our riding cloths. I see the scales she had collected which reminded me to collect them from the others when we got back. Grabbing a quick bite form our stores, we head to our dragons and take off towards the Academy. Shockingly, we weren't the first ones there, Eret was there with Skullcrusher, waiting. I flag him as Stormfly and Toothless land inside.
"Eret, you're here earlier than expected?" I ask and he nods, holding a piece of parchment up.
"I've got word, Hiccup." Eret says as both Astrid and I approach. "Vern was able to send word; he's safe for the time being, his cover intact. Apparently, after some interrogations, the Warlords found two suspects they thought could be the leaks and executed them." Eret explains and I feel my fists clench.
"Like, executed, executed?" I ask. That wasn't really a common thing in the archipelago. Sure, getting thrown overboard, exiled or the like was common. Drago was really the one who coined killing those who got in his way; if Krogan and his own attempt on Eret was proof enough.
"Beheaded, to be exact. Khan took both of their heads." Eret adds.
"Is Vern safe?" I ask and he sighs.
"He claims to be, but I don't know how long I trust him to remain so. Each message he sends me puts him at greater risk. He was on deck when Khan took their heads. Hiccup, we need to be careful what we say when we encounter these Warlords again, they may still be trying to weed out leaks." Eret adds and I glance to Astrid.
"Like Viggo did to Heather." Astrid says softly and I find her hand and squeeze it.
"We'll be careful. Did Vern give any information on their movements?" I ask and Eret nods.
"Aye. We know where they're going to be and the path they're taking. Right now, they're keeping around Hysteria. They still are hunting a Doomfang, they lost half a dozen men to the dragon three days ago. They also had a run in with the Hysterics when they tried to set up shop on the island that cost them a boat and a few more men." Eret explains and I nod.
"Obviously not locals; everyone knows that the Hysterics are brutal and intelligent barbarians. It's like an island full of Dagur's." I say softly and glance to Astrid. "Pre-Viggo Dagur's." I add and she shudders. Dagur had tried to kill me so many times in those days, it was still hard to believe I considered him an actual brother now; though he did earn it.
"Right, well, what's the plan, Chief?" Eret asks.
"We'll wait for everyone else, then recon the area. We will not engage them this time, now we are gauging their forces. Which is what we should've done the first time. Let's see if we can identify the leaders, what ships are their flagships. If we see them succeed in trapping the Doomfang, we'll engage only to free it. If they have any other dragons, we'll try to free them on a case by case basis, but we cannot afford a repeat of last time." I state and Astrid nods in agreement.
"Eret. Both you and my mother will be joining us on this run. We will go over tactics when the other riders get here, for now, make sure you're ready to leave by mid-morning. You've got the hour. Astrid and I are staying here, and we'll form a plan." I finish and Eret nods, handing me the paper and hopping on Skullcrusher.
"Hiccup, regardless of what happened last time, I've got your back. You're doing good. I'll see you two in an hour; I've got some things to get." Eret says and I smile.
"Oh Wait! Eret, I told the others, but I'll tell you the same. Start collecting Skullcrusher's scales as he sheds, at least two barrels worth. I've got a few ideas." I add and he nods.
"You've got it. Be back soon." He says and takes off.
Glancing at the paper, then to Astrid I sigh. I feel her hand find my cheek as her lips find mine.
"We'll be okay, Hiccup. We'll beat these guys. It's what we do." She says softly with a smile and I nod.
"Yes, it is. Thank you, Astrid." I say and she nods, kissing me again.
All that was left now was coming up with a crazy but safe plan and waiting for everyone else to get here. This was going to be an interesting day to be sure.
