You know, I need to make a mature rated Elsa/Freya fic...
Have a new chapter
Right at this moment everything was marvellous. Elsa couldn't form coherent words as such, just gasp and exhale "Freya" or "Oh Freya" over and over. They had been together three years now and had certainly done this many times in the past, but as ever, Elsa felt so so loved and wanted as her back arched her hips against her partner's and Freya touched so gently and whispered her name.
They were both so close, the rhythm rising to a peak, Elsa grasped around a firm midriff with both hands as the burning coil in her middle tightened one last time before release. She breathed in to fuel the shout she knew was waiting-
The bedroom door slammed open.
"MY GOD!" A male voice yelled out in disgust and horror only to be cut off by a shout from Kai and a thump as the aide tackled the man to the floor.
Freya was off her and the bed, falling to the floor and Elsa felt her desire swiftly chill to anger. "Elsa, he was too fast." The aide apologised, though she couldn't see him. Alone on her bed and completely naked Elsa was actually feeling cold, the cold of rage. This had to be dealt with swiftly, Freya's panicked gasp had been low and quick but Elsa had heard it.
First she needed clothes. She built a coat; the frost looked like fur, rich and thick. It piled upon her shoulders as she rose and pooled on the floor when she stepped off the bed, she gathered the front closed and freed her hands from the cuffs. The sleeves fitted well but the rest of the coat was grand and oversized, intimidating and rich. Fit for a Snow Queen. With her hair loose, the long platinum strands settling across her shoulders and down her back and her eyes flashing with power Elsa knew she must look like a force of nature.
"Why pray tell have you intruded on me?" Elsa's voice was blizzards and ice as she stalked away from the bed, the frost-fur trailing behind. She chanced an aside glance but there was no sign of Freya and that added ice to the storm inside. Kai's grip was strong and the man could not escape though he struggled under her gaze. The Snow Queen walked across her room, her hair down in a silken stream over the full frost-fur collar. "I have not frozen your tongue. Speak!"
Kai dragged the intruder from the floor to his knees and the man was shocked from his silence and he began to gabble about unnatural acts and Sapphic corruption. A stiff cold wind halted it.
"I am an Ice Sorceress, a Winter Witch. The Snow Queen. I long ago filled the unnatural quotient. Explain exactly what was going through your head to enter my bedchambers before a new ice statue decorates my garden!" Elsa was angry, worried for Freya, completely wound up, unfulfilled and slightly sticky. She was not going to suffer fools for much longer.
The intruder spoke still of perverted acts and unnatural conduct. "Kai, take him to the cells." Elsa dismissed, "Maybe he will be more sensible after cooling his heels, figuratively speaking." She proclaimed, but the snowflake she idly summoned to her hand communicated the threat that his heels and more besides could get very cold indeed.
"Of course my lady." Her faithful aide bowed and pulled the man out of the room and down the hall. After they turned a corner Elsa closed the doors and latched them, freezing the lock. It was time to find Freya.
Her search of the area around the bed, the closet, the wardrobe and washroom were fruitless. Searching at the edges of the room once more she noticed the hidden door slightly ajar. "Freya?" She passed through the door to find her partner hastily throwing things into a bag and muttering in a panic.
"A night's head start is all I need… I'll write and we can meet up where no one can find us… If I go now no one will be able to send me away." Freya carried on pushing things into a bag, her trous were loose around her hips and her coat was only half closed over a hurriedly pulled on shirt. Freya was breathing in little stuttered gasps. Elsa drew nearer.
"Freya…"
"If I stay they'll exile me. I go now and we can meet. I just love you so much Elsa I can't not ever see you again." Freya stopped packing and shuddered.
"I'm not letting anyone send you away." Elsa spoke gently, carefully. Remembering the times when their relationship had been new and the past tainted with sadness her partner held. "One intruder, regardless of who he is and what his purpose for entering was will not be able to force me to do anything." She took the bag from Freya's hands but the woman carried on grasping for it. Elsa pushed herself between Freya and the bag and looked up at the tearful green eyes.
"I don't want to go. But…"
"But nothing Freya. You are staying right here with me." Elsa pulled the curly haired head down to nestle in the thick frost fur of her coat, pressing Freya beneath her chin. The coolness of the frost soothed Freya's pounding head and she let out a sigh. Elsa used a little breeze to close the hidden door and lift the luggage from Freya's bed.
"Careless, I was careless…" Freya repeated over and over.
"I was the one who forgot to lock the door and didn't freeze it closed." Elsa chided gently, guiding her partner to the bed and placing her down amongst the sheets. Freya sat listlessly, so Elsa carefully removed the guard coat and dropped it to the floor; she brought her hands up to Freya's face and pulled the green eyed gaze close. "You are staying here with me."
"But the accusations…" Freya began to protest but a kiss halted the words, the sight of pale skin framed by frost-fur as Elsa's coat slipped open gave her pause and reminded her body of the interrupted activities. It was obvious that it was on Elsa's mind too as she pushed against Freya to deepen the kiss. They fell back onto the bed, nose to nose and a pale leg broke free from the frost and tangled with Freya's.
"I am the Queen, he broke into my chambers at night for who knows what reason." Elsa snuggled closer to Freya, resting her chin in the soft black curls and pressing a kiss amongst them. She knew she was copying the careful approach Freya used when she was having a panic attack. It worked for her, it would work for Freya.
"He'll talk. Elsa, he saw!" Freya was quieter now at least, though the worry left a burr in her voice.
"No one will listen." Elsa soothed, "I'm the Queen, my love. All I need say is he was mistaken if I need to say anything at all." She ran her fingers through the black hair and down Freya's back, feeling the warmth of her lover's skin. "He will be punished for intruding, though what business he has in the palace after eight in the evening is another thing entirely." Pressed against her, Freya's breathing had returned to normal. Idly Elsa regretted the calming effects on her own body also, but there was a more important matter at hand. "No one will send you away. I'm afraid I find it too hard to sleep without you."
Freya lifted her head from Elsa's embrace and shuffled level, eye to eye again. Her green eyes were bloodshot but no longer tearful. "I really should have done some guard stuff when he slammed the door open. Sorry."
"I would have preferred you to have finished us off first." Elsa teased. "Though given the circumstances I appreciate why you left and why you didn't chase him off with a sword." The mental image of a naked, armed Freya chasing down an intruder gave Elsa pause.
"Your coat melted." Freya said, watching the motes float away. "So I think you were having certain thoughts." She looked along the unclothed length of Elsa beside her.
"Yes, but I'm tired now and everything has calmed down." To punctuate the point Elsa yawned. "We have work to do tomorrow." She leaned over and picked up a discarded shirt of Freya's, left from her hurried attempt at packing, and pulled it on over her head. Their difference in size meant it was baggy around the pale woman. "I'm sleeping here." Elsa said and laid down on the bed, she snuggled into Freya and pulled the covers over them both.
"I guess I can't argue." Freya mumbled, Elsa wrapped her arms around her lover.
"No escape from the Snow Queen." She said, pushing her head under Freya's chin and getting comfortable.
Freya sighed and put her arms around Elsa. "I suppose not." She kissed the platinum hair and inhaled the scent of fresh snow and mint that always clung to the Queen. "I don't ever want there to be, either." They fell asleep together, wrapped in a mutual embrace.
The Queen was an early riser, the dawn would call to her as she slept until wakefulness was hard to ignore most days. Freya still slept and Anna would not be awake for hours. Awake and bored, Elsa went to wash and change.
Early mornings in Arendelle Castle were mostly the reserve of the staff. The aides setting out the work for the day, the maids going about the daily chores that kept a palace running and the hundreds of other people and jobs a working castle required. As Elsa walked from her dressing room to her study, having elected to leave Freya to sleep after her panic the night before, she came across one of the many maids.
"Your majesty." The woman bowed, stopping her task a moment.
"Kirsten," Elsa acknowledged the under-maid. "What has you here at this early hour?"
"A draught I'm afraid." The brown haired woman tsked. "It has been noticed of late and I am trying to track it down, no easy task amongst all these windows!" She was a few years older than Elsa and had been hired on when some of the older staff had retired. As Kai's niece and with years of service in Mursteinbyen she had become part of the senior staff and was easier amongst the royals.
"Could I be of any assistance?" Elsa looked around the hallway and summoned a small fall of snow over her outstretched palm. She felt indebted to the staff, for those who shared the isolation and those new members who braved the reports of an Ice Witch to work in the palace.
"I supposed that the flakes would blow in the draught and that would lead to the problem…" Kirsten grinned. "Let it snow!" Elsa sent a burst of flakes into the air and both women watched for any movement. They had the crack in a window frame pinned down in a matter of moments.
"Well, that was a nice change of pace." Elsa said.
"You saved me a morning's work my lady." Kirsten said, jotting down the last of the details. "Thank you."
"No problem, I am forever glad to know my powers are not a negative thing to everyone. Though a morning's work?" Elsa paused, Kirsten might have been relatively new, but she was efficient and clever but discreet like her uncle. She was fast shaping up as a suitable replacement to her aunt when the time came. "Would you stop by my study later? I have some items I need purchased."
"Yes my lady." Kirsten dipped in a curtsey and accompanied Elsa as far as the study before making her way to other duties.
Elsa worked a while in her study, took breakfast with her family, once again assuring Freya that there would be no trouble. It was now nearly time for official business hours in the palace. A knock at her door pulled her from the papers on her desk. "Enter."
"My lady." Kai bowed; when he rose she didn't miss the spark of triumph in his eyes. "We have one very hung-over Humperdinck Von Claske, Esquire, in the cells petitioning for his release or at the very least an elixir."
Elsa arched a brow. "Our late night visitor I presume?"
"A merchant, he had got rather in his cups as it were and thought to see the Queen." Kai grimaced. "I have no idea how he got as far as he did; the guard captain is rather chastened this morning."
"Most of the staff are home by that time." Elsa reminded. "Does he remember what he saw?" Kai reddened and Elsa tried not to smirk, her faithful aide and partial father-figure had also technically burst in on her and Freya. No parent ever wanted to consider their child in that context. Elsa herself was still coming to terms with what was involved to produce her baby nephew.
"No, he is rather sore headed and alarmed he broke in to the royal palace than horrified at the conduct of the Queen." Kai seemed grateful for the distraction.
"Pass word to the magistrate, I am sure Judge Tobias will be lenient considering the alcohol consumption involved." Elsa dismissed her aide with a smile and a wave.
He paused in the doorway, looking significantly at a cabinet. "I must advise that the green glass bottle may be a little lower. I will ensure Sir Kristoff requests of his family a little more of the Lethe water."
Elsa blinked, she had heard of the name and seen mention of it in her father's journals from her younger years, Kai had obviously done something, something that proved he was a master among aides. Not wishing to dwell on it, she returned to her work.
During her the break between regular meetings she sent Kirsten out with a purse and a list of purchases. After lunch she spent some time admiring baby Matteus while Anna and Kristoff took a nap. Later she went for a ride with Freya to overlook the fjord from the hillside and fit in some cuddling time.
The sun was sinking in the sky and the grass around them was lush with sweet smelling flowers. Freya was sat against a rock with Elsa on her lap as they admired the view and the solitude. "This is nice." Elsa snuggled at Freya's shoulder.
"Yes. Being your guard has plenty of perks." Freya said, placing her arms over her partner. "Sorry about my reaction last night. Please don't ever think I would abandon you."
"You were doing it for us in all fairness." Elsa looked up. "I would be lying to say I didn't ever have concerns about being caught and losing you to exile or worse." She tilted her head to better look at Freya's face. "We were fortunate that he was rather drunk and Kai is supportive." Elsa glossed over the possible potion use; there was no need to worry Freya about that.
"Thanks for understanding." Freya leant down and captured a kiss, a kiss that soon got deeper and found them rolling in the tall grass in a most un-regal manner. The flare of heat reminded them that they had been interrupted the night before, but Elsa had plans of her own ton consider.
"Later…" She half-moaned, pulling away from her taller partner.
"Alright. Later." Freya sat up, lifting Elsa with her.
"It is getting close to supper time; we had better head back to the castle." Elsa sighed and stood, brushing the evidence of their tumbling embrace from her skirts and hair. Freya jumped up and un-rumpled her shirt, fastening the buttons she hadn't noticed Elsa undoing.
"Later indeed." She gave Elsa a soft pinch and received a playful slap. They gathered the horses and rode back in time for supper.
After their shared meal Anna and Kristoff begged off, tired out and trying to get Matteus to learn about bedtimes. "Don't worry; you're a mama and papa now, you have important jobs. I understand." Elsa hugged her sister and brother-in-law. After shooing them away she took Freya's hand.
"Is it later yet?" Freya chuckled as she was led to the royal floor and towards their room.
"Nearly." Elsa pulled Freya forwards and into the room. This time she locked the double doors and left an icy barricade sealing it closed. "I think I could do with a bath first though." She smiled seductively and tugged Freya into the washroom.
"I can live with that." Freya replied. The bath was already drawn and the scent of hazelnuts filled the air, flickering lanterns lit the space with a warm glow and on the edge of the bath a plate of luxury chocolates sat. Elsa pulled off her mundane dress and hurried Freya along. Soon they were enveloped in the warm scented water.
"Now where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?" Elsa whispered; her cold breath a contrast to the heat of the bath that made Freya's skin tingle. Searching digits under the water caressed her thigh.
"I think I recall." Freya pushed a kiss to her lover's brow and traced a fingertip up the ridges of the slight woman's spine. "But it isn't a problem if we have to cover the same ground."
Much later, basking in the afterglow on silken sheets and just tiptoeing along the line between slumber and wakefulness they mumbled words of love between purrs of contentment. Tangled together and safely ensconced in a world of their own the pair fell asleep.
Lethe was a river in the Greek Underworld, it was forgetfullness or oblivion. Anyone who drank the water lost their memories. Lets just say the king had to have some extra insurance against Elsa being found out and Kai knew all about it.
