Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Please review
Monday came rather quickly, Mikael left early in the morning. He had planned to leave the night before but Lisbeth managed to lure him back into bed with her.
He was happy; he went to his apartment to change clothes and then headed to the Millennium offices. When he arrived everyone noticed his good mood. He laughed with everyone and was polite. The Millennium employees were surprised, most of them had not seen Blomkvist in such a good mood in months.
Mikael checked his emails, edited some of the stories he had in his desk and contacted freelance journalists for the new features piece Erika had planned. The day was rather productive for him.
When he left he called Sally, she was waiting for him at his apartment. He cooked dinner, which consisted of tuna sandwiches. They talked about the media and how Lisbeth was handling her fame.
"I am sick of this, I almost punched a photographer today. He was waiting for me at my Lundagatan apartment." She had gone to check her mail; nobody besides Giannini and Mikael knew about her other apartment.
"Just give them time, or you could give a statement. That would definitely appease the masses." He said it jokingly; he knew Lisbeth would never talk about her life or plans if it were not necessary.
"Maybe," but she said it so unconvincingly that it was clear that she would not consider anything of the sort.
They washed dishes and then went to bed, Mikael did not realize it but he was exhausted and was dead to the world after his head touched the pillow. Lisbeth was also tired, she had talked to her contact in Gibraltar and things were going well. She did not know what to do with so much money. She had not decided whether to tell Mikael where the money was yet.
She undressed and wrapped herself around Mikael. They slept better together; Mikael had discovered it during their weekend. He didn't have nightmares when they slept together; Lisbeth had known this fact for a while. During their time together she felt secure and did not have the insomnia she felt when she slept alone.
Lisbeth woke up to the pleasant sensation of someone licking her clit. When she opened her eyes she saw Mikael's head between her legs. She pulled him up and kissed him.
She was so hot; Mikael had never tasted another woman as sweet as his Sally. He normally did not go for oral sex but he could not contain himself. She had become an addiction. He craved her, needed her on a daily basis.
They kissed and hurriedly joined together; all that could be heard were their moans. His Sally always gave herself entirely; she breathed his name over and over again. He never thought his name could sound so good but in her voice it was the best music for his ears.
Their lovemaking was always feverish; they could not get enough of each other.
"Yes, Lisbeth, you feel so good," he was beyond anything. Now he was seeking his pleasure. He picked up the pace. Lisbeth seemed to like that.
"Mikael, harder, faster." She moaned; she was shameless when it came to making sure she was satisfied. Lisbeth had no inhibitions with him. At least not when it came to the bedroom. They finished and waited for their heart rates to slow down.
Mikael spoke first, "this morning exercise is the best cardio I've had in years," he laughed and Sally joined him. They showered together; afterwards he went to the magazine while Lisbeth went to Milton Security's headquarters.
They had talked the night before and Sally had said that she needed to thank Armansky personally; she also missed her part-time job. He was about to ask about the Wennerström money but decided to keep his mouth shut.
Lisbeth approached the front desk and gave her I.D. card. She went into Armansky's office and waited for him. When he opened the door he would see her sitting in front of his desk with her back to him.
The last thing that Armansky expected was to see Salander that day. They exchanged pleasantries, after a short while Lisbeth went to the point.
"I wanted to thank you for all your support during the trial and also wanted to see if you had other jobs for me."
"You are most sincerely welcome and as a matter of fact I do," from the moment he saw her in his office he decided he would keep in touch with her and reestablish the pseudo friendship they had.
He gave her the information of a CEO who was being blackmailed by one of his employees. The job was fairly easy for Salander, they agreed that she would bring a full report in approximately two weeks. Armansky was glad to see her again and hoped that she stayed out of trouble, at least for some time.
After visiting Milton Security Lisbeth called her financial advisor. The last time they had talked he had said that his commission was fulfilled and that he would step down from his position. They had agreed that the money would be distributed among the 21 bank accounts. Wasp Enterprises would continue she planned the company to be a technology distribution business. Very capable people would manage it: those users from Hacker Republic who wanted to be involved with the company. So far Wasp Enterprises had headquarters in The United Kingdom, United States and Germany.
She wanted to call her lawyer to give him instructions as to where allocate the Wasp Enterprises money. She felt relieved the money was distributed and she did not have think about what to do with it anymore. The 21 bank accounts would have to be managed by her but that was a hassle that she would have to deal with.
Lisbeth was determined to tell Mikael how the Wennerström money was being handled. She went to Mikael's apartment and logged into The Hacker Republic. She checked on her Wasp partners, they had received all of the bank account information they needed for their headquarters. The board meetings would be online every month.
Mikael brought food, because he knew Lisbeth would only have frozen pizza. He bought Armenian food. When he got home he found her on her laptop, probably working on her new project. He greeted her with a kiss to her cheek and nuzzled her neck. She leaned into him and put her arms around his head, it was an affectionate gesture coming from her. During this week Sally had loosened up and was becoming more confortable with small touches and emotional contact.
They ate, then took a shower which lead to other pleasant activities. Mikael ended up with his head pillowed in her breasts. He was very confortable when suddenly Lisbeth began to talk about the money.
"I know you know about the money I took," he looked up to her and was about to reply that whatever she did with it wasn't his business but Lisbeth put a finger on his lip as a sign of silence.
She told him of her plans and about Wasp Enterprises. He listened to her and was glad that she confided in him, it meant that she was trying to have a relationship in which they were both honest.
At this point that was the last secret Lisbeth had for him. Mikael knew about Neidermann's death and his relationship to her. She had also told him that she might have more than two living siblings scattered in Europe. Lisbeth had confided in him after they had established their feelings for each other.
Mikael was lazily rolling her right nipple; they talked about her latest assignment and dozed off after a couple of minutes.
The next couple of months followed the same pattern. They spent most of their time together. Lisbeth rarely slept in her apartment anymore, and when she did it was only for one night, never two nights in a row. In those nights Mikael could not sleep, he was amazed at how much his Sally would haunt him. He became almost dependent on her. He remembered one occasion in which he had gone to see Erika because he could not handle being alone.
Erika had dropped hints that she would be alone because Greger was at a conference in Milan. He went but was surprised, when he kissed her he could not help but feel like he was betraying Sally so he stopped and told her.
"I can't do this, I don't even know why I came," Erika was sad, so he finally realized the extent of his feelings toward Salander. She was desolated and tried to convince him of giving their relationship a last proper goodbye but Mikael refused the offer.
He went directly to her apartment and confessed. He was sure Lisbeth would never want to see him again.
When she opened the door she gave him a sleepy glare. They entered the apartment; he spoke first "I came from Erika's house." There Lisbeth thought, he will say that their relationship was over because he had fucked Berger and wanted to continue fucking his editor in chief.
"So you want out of whatever it is that we have," she asked.
"No, I want to explain myself," she was mad, "you want to tell me how you fucked her, and liked it so much you don't want me anymore."
"No, Sally you are mistaken I just kissed her, nothing more. I think I did it because I missed you. I felt nothing I swear." He knew calling her Sally would soften her stance, she secretly loved the pet name and he knew it. He would play dirty if he had to, he could not lose her.
Lisbeth felt so much relief; it was just a lousy kiss. But she wanted to make him suffer a little while. She remained quiet and looked directly into his eyes.
"I promise I will never do this again. I can honestly say that I regret that kiss."
"I know I don't have the best record when it comes to relationships but I will not do this or anything like this again." Mikael was referring to his past as a manwhore. She saw in his eyes that he was being honest. His eyes were so expressive…
She came closer to him and slowly kissed him, she warned him, "Don't you ever pull something like this again" she paused for effect.
"I already told you, I will not share you Mikael" and then she kissed him again this time more passionately.
She led him into the bedroom and undressed him. He was surprised that she was so ready to forgive him but he would let her do whatever she wished.
When she had him naked and at her mercy she proceeded to tease him. She kissed him everywhere but avoided his cock. After and hour of this he was begging her to touch him. She did not relent; she went into the bathroom and left him alone for about thirty minutes.
He trusted her but he knew her revenge had started. She came out of the bathroom with a black mask that only covered her eyes. She was wearing a black underwear set and had black heels on. She came closer to the bed and straddled him, she rubbed herself on him and he was desperate for contact, he tried to flip her but she was quicker than him.
"You will obey my orders, I won't have to tie you because I know you can be a good boy," she whispered close to his ear. "You will answer only with yes or no. I do not want to hear any other words from you, do you understand."
"Yes," he was actually a little excited and Sally felt his erection poking her. She grinded herself harder and he moaned but did not say anything. He was a very obedient boy.
She continued her teasing and touched his cock. If she was honest it was her second favorite part of his body. His blue eyes being the winners, he fit perfectly. He was long and thick enough to cause her the most intense pleasure. She licked him and touched his balls. Now he was truthfully desperate, she tasted his pre-cum. A little bitter but she could handle him.
She took him into his mouth and started working in earnest. Mikael massaged her head and was screaming her name at the top of his lungs. He was almost incoherent with pleasure when she stopped completely.
"You are being naughty Kalle, what did I say, only yes or no answers," she pouted and scolded him like a schoolboy.
Lisbeth then kissed him and caressed him. She continued the torture, alternating her tongue and hands on his cock. Mikael slipped twice and called out her name and some obscenities. For his disobedient actions he was denied his relief twice. She touched herself and taunted him.
"These could have been your fingers Kalle but you decided to disobey," Mikael moaned and tried to reach her but once again she warned him that if he disobeyed the game would be over and he would have to leave.
Finally at dawn when she was desperate herself she fell to the bed and undressed herself next to him. She kissed him and embraced him, she asked him to make love to her
She was on top this time, in total control. Mikael enjoyed these occasions because his Sally gave herself completely to him. He reached to her breasts and kissed them. She moaned and moved faster voicing her pleasure.
"You are mine and you will only be mine." She raised his face to hers and looked directly into his eyes. "Say it."
He answered her, "yes, only yours." He flipped her, and thrusted deeply. He made her delirious with pleasure. She was trashing and he held her hands above her head. She was at his mercy, Mikael made love to her as if it was the first time but this time it felt even better because Lisbeth knew that he had chosen her over Erika Fucking Berger.
"Yes love, just like that just feel so tight." He loved her like never before. It was so very sweet and she felt cherished and secure in his arms. She felt him coming, filling her with hi seed. She always felt better when he came deep within her. She felt like she belonged to him and no one else.
They drifted off to the land of Nod. She as was her usual sought his warmth and wrapped herself around Mikael.
He had kept his promise, he still saw Erika on a daily basis. They were friends and Lisbeth was aware of the fact, she did not feel at ease in her presence but made an effort for Mikael.
Erika and Lisbeth remained distant to each other. Erika was grateful for Salander's help with her stalker but felt like Lisbeth Salander was the sole cause of her break up with Mikael. Lisbeth could not help but resent the woman because of her previous relationship to her Kalle.
