The men dueled as i sat on the beach, my slim frame wrapped in layers of fur. By now, most of the men were shirtless and dripping beads of sweat onto the pebbled beach. And what had originally began as six men battling together, became four men battling whilst Rollo and Bjorn fought. Bjorn's swings were heavy and off target.
"Don't die stupidly." Rollo growled. Bjorn slashing his sword in anger at his uncles words. I couldn't help but glance at Bjorn's bare chest.
"I'm not going to die." Bjorn hissed, launching his weight towards Rollo, who batted it away with ease.
"Yes, you are! If i choose." Rollo's blade pointed towards his nephew whilst the circled each other. My head shook with a sigh.
"By now, one of you would of killed the other." I shouted. The pair glanced in my direction, Roll giving me a nod. Bjorn swung again, Rollo smashing the shields together as the two went stumbling into the shallow water. Bjorn swung, stumbling as he did. Rollo took the opportunity. His weight smashed against Bjorn's shoulder, sending his nephew into the shallow water before plunging his blade into the ground beside Bjorn's head. I breathed a small sigh of relief, watching the pair quietly chat.
"Your turn now, Olyvia." Rollo shouted, tossing the blade in my direction. My head shook instantly, flicking the sword back with the toe of my boot, "Don't you think we should practice before we travel to Wessex?" Rollo wandered towards me, landing in the sand beside me. Bjorn shuffling close behind.
"We haven't spoken about it." Bjorn mumbled. My brow raised as i peered around Rollo's muscular figure.
"You are kidding, right?" I laughed with a hint of sarcasm,. It angered me just to think that, after all this time, Bjorn was going to jeopardize my part in the skirmish.
"I think that it'll be too dangerous." Bjorn pleaded to his case. Rollo sat in between us like a child between arguing parents. He sayed completely silent and listened to both sides.
"You think you're going to stop me? I've waited eighteen years for this." I glared in his direction, ready for any plea that would leaving his lips. But it wasn't Bjorn that spoke next.
"I think that you'd be wrong to stop her, but i also think it would be wrong to completely disregard his worry." Rollo announced, raising to his feet with a loud groan. "Why don't you have this chat elsewhere?" Rollo sighed. I gave a nod of my head, stalking off towards the village. Specifically, off towards the small hut that i called my own.
Bjorn's P.O.V
"You were kidding, weren't you?" Olyvia sighed as soon as we stepped into the small hut. The walls were covered in shelves and wooden carvings, obviously done by Floki.
"No, i wasn't joking. I'm not sure that i want you risking your life in Wessex." I muttered. I could see the mix of emotions on her perfect face. A bit of anger, a bit of shock and a bit of sadness.
"What if i don't want you risking your life either? I'm not a little girl anymore, Bjorn!" She snapped. Her slim body turned away from, refusing me the gaze of her flawless eyes.
"I know that you're not, Liv. But i don't want you taking a unnecessary risk. Just hear me out." I pleaded. My large hand curled into the back of her thin dress, tugging her backwards to my frame. "If you're there with me, i wont be thinking about the man swinging at me. I'll be thinking about you, and trying to protect you." I whispered into her ear.
I could feel her tensed figure relax into my body, my arm wrapping close around her waist. "I don't want to lose you." I whimpered.
Her head tilted as she looked around at me, her eyes soft and luckily a lot calmer than before.
I felt her fingers gliding along my jaw, her frame turning to face me with a small smile pulling at the corner of her lips. My large paws slipped onto her hips, holding her frame still as i leaned closer and closer to Olyvia... Till my lips were firmly pressed against hers. Her arms snaked around my shoulders, till she stood on the tips of her toes. It felt like an explosion of passion that had been waiting for years.
I couldn't help it as i raised her from the ground, carrying her towards the straw bed behind the wall. I carefully lowered her down, my body hovering inches above. I could feel her hands running beneath the thin shirt that covered my chest, her delicate touch tracing the lines. My fingers began to play with the skirt of her dress, pulling it up inch by inch till the material was all bunched up at her waist. Her legs were bare beneath me as my lips began to trail along her jaw line and down her neck. I loved the sound of her breath beside my ear, the quiet moans hidden behind each breath.
I felt her hands pushing at my shoulders, causing my frame to sit on my knees above her. Her figure sat up almost in sync, her fingers curling into the hem of my shirt before she tugged it over my head. She looked toward me with her beautiful, pale orbs. Her fingers moving to the bunch of material that sat at her waist. In one move, it as gone.
My lips were straight back, gently sucking on a patch of skin above her breast. A small moan slipped through her lips, he replied with a small laugh. My lips moved lower, sucking around her stomach area. Her body rose, gently pulling My lips to meet mine as her hands fumbled with the waistline of my trousers. I could feel her lips curving into a smile against mine, my head pulling away as my hand gently pressed again her chest, pushing me back down onto the bed.
My fingers became entwined with her as i felt My kisses trailed lower and lower down her body. I felt them freeze at her thighs. My lips sucking against the skin as moans trickled passed her parted lips. My eyes glanced up at me, smirking at her eyes. My fingers broke free from her grip to pull at the hem of my trousers, pushing the trousers from my body before they were thrown to the ground.
Her arm wrapped around my shoulders as i thrust into her core. My hand began to knead her breast as i gently thrust in and out of the area between her thighs. Her lips shot to my neck, sucking on the skin with muffled moans.
Her body pushed against my weight, rolling the bodies over till she was straddled over me with my pelvis raising and dropping beneath her. Her hips rotated above me, with me large hands gripping her thighs. I couldn't help but moan her name as my hands scratched against her thighs. It wasn't long before i felt myself nearing my peak.
My arms slithered around her waist as i moved into a sitting position, holding her body close to me as i finished. I held her into my body for a short time, i could hear her catching her breath back as her face hid in the crook of my neck.
"I love you." She panted, loosening my grip on her waist as she tried to see into my eyes. One hand moved to her face, brushing loose strands of hair behind her eyes with a sincere look.
"All i will think about is coming home to you." I muttered, gently pecking the end of her nose. Her frame rolled off my body, lying in the bed with her fingers entwining with mine.
Olyvia's P.O.V
As the morning sun seeped through the material that covered the empty door frame. My bare frame was tangled among Bjorn's as he slept silently beside me. Today was the day they leave for Wessex. And despite all that i had said, i planned to be on one of those ships. Carefully, i untangled my limbs from beneath Bjorn. Dressing myself in silence before i left the warmth of the hut. Slaves were finishing the packing of the ships as i made my way to the main hall.
Lagertha, King Horik, Rollo and Ragnar all stood quietly talking.
"Nice to see you, Olyvia. I suppose Bjorn has given up trying to stop you." Rollo chuckled, his heavy paw smacking against my back. With a sigh, my head shook.
"No, he wants me to stay here." I sighed. I could see the look on their faces, they already knew what i was planning. "I want to ask a favor of one of you." I announced. Lagertha moved forward, her hands gently placing on my arms.
£"I will have you on my ship. I would appreciate your company on the voyage." Lagertha said with a smile. Rollo and the others all gave their nods in our direction. "I would have you men keep this from my son, he must not know."
