Chapter 13
The ultrasound revealed that the baby was a boy. Mikael was ecstatic, he did not want to admit it but he wanted a boy. He already had a daughter so a boy would be a nice change. Lisbeth was still somewhat indifferent; it did not matter whether it was boy or girl. She just wanted to have some control, by knowing the baby's sex she could be better prepared for the changes. The pregnancy was a huge change in itself; thankfully the nausea and the constant tiredness disappeared. She had more energy and felt better. She was in her fifth month and the baby's growth was adequate although she felt like a beach ball, a large beach ball.
Mikael had been tender to her; he noticed that she was not comfortable with her body. To him she looked glorious; making love was a new experience. When his first wife was pregnant baby Nilla took all of her strength, the pregnancy was a nightmare for both of them. She was constantly weepy and moody, Lisbeth had a tendency to brood and pick fights but nothing major. The only episode that merited a fight was when he forgot to go to a prenatal check up. That was last month.
He was out of breath, he opened the front door of the clinic; his Sally was exiting one of the elevators. He saw her and called out her name. "Hey Lisbeth," she kept walking out of the building and ignored him. He tried to make excuses and get her to talk to him but to no avail. She was quiet the whole train ride to their home.
Once she opened the door to the apartment she walked to the bathroom and took a shower. She gave him the cold shoulder; she did not speak a single word. She went to sleep. He decided to let her cool down or wait for the explosion to happen, he wrote some articles brushed his teeth and went to bed. When he got under the covers he noticed Sally was crying silently, he tried to embrace her but she moved out of his reach, she hissed, "Don't touch me." He heard her crying for another 15 minutes. He couldn't take it anymore so he stood up; he kneeled and faced her.
"What happened?" he asked concerned now that she was still crying.
"Is there something wrong with you or the baby?" he asked.
"No." She answered.
"Then why are you crying for God's sake?" she just cried more. He waited for another five minutes when finally she spoke clearly.
"You were not there and I was so out of place. The doctor kept rattling about some testing about birth defects and illnesses and I did not know how to respond."
"Now this baby will have a disease, I just know it and it's all your fault."
He laughed, hard, that was a mistake. Lisbeth was enraged she got up and yelled. She left the bedroom and took his work laptop and threw it to the floor with such force that the screen cracked open.
Mikael's laugh immediately stopped, he was befuddled, and asked "what in the world?"
He stopped her before she got to the plasma TV. "Lisbeth stop, we can always go tomorrow and ask for the tests to be done. Nothing will happen to you or the baby."
She cried and then hugged him, she was behaving erratically, Holm told him to expect these types of emotional outbursts but he was still deeply shocked. He took her to the bedroom where she sobbed and wetted his shirt with her tears.
He thought about the laptop, it was completely damaged; maybe the hard drive could be salvaged. He would ask Lisbeth later, now he was afraid she might cry again.
Those were the only tears he saw from her during those first five months. He couldn't really complain, he heard horror stories from other men at Millennium and at his "idiotic table" meetings.
Besides from the obvious mood swings Lisbeth was prone to there was something else that bothered Mikael. He made love to her as if she was something extremely delicate and he enjoyed the tender part of their sexual encounters. Lately however she had not made any moves in the bedroom. He knew she needed release; it had been about a week since they had any intimacy.
Mikael was already at home waiting for Lisbeth, when she entered they greeted each other and went with their routines. It was bedtime; he noticed she did not wear his usual black shirt. She wore yoga pants and a white top. That was weird, she usually wore his shirt because it was loose and she tended to sleep naked.
He plucked courage and asked her about it. She replied that she didn't want him to see her naked. He was flabbergasted and answered, "I have seen you naked, I know every tattoo and mark of that body, so please get comfortable. Now." She pouted but complied, she stripped naked. He lustfully looked at her, she noticed. Her eyes lit up.
In her mind she was repulsive but Mikael seemed to like the new stretch marks and the roundedness of her new "figure". That gave her confidence; she thought she was no longer attractive. He had been tender with her and she missed the roughness he showed her before the pregnancy. With renewed confidence she formed a quick plan in her head.
"Aren't you a dirty old man?" It was a statement rather than a question, he slowly smirked; she was playing tonight.
"You think so?" he tried to look innocent but failed.
He tackled her and gently put her in the bed. He slowly caressed her but she was having none of it. She roughly took off his boxers and touched him just the way he liked it. She manhandled him; she cupped his balls and tugged his cock. She bit his neck and pulled his hair. Mikael was responding accordingly, she was naked; he moaned and played with her pussy. He put one finger in and was stroking her a little hard. She was on fire, he grabbed her hair and looked at her, she continued stroking him up and down, up and down.
He tried to slow down but she was making it impossible for him to control the situation. He kissed her softly but she bit his lower lip and drew a little blood. He looked at her and kissed her forcibly.
They continued with this pattern, she roughly stroking his cock and him trying to slow her down.
She exploded "I don't want tender, I need you to be rough just like before the pregnancy, remember that time at Millennium when you took me in your office. I want it just like that."
He did remember, he was brutal and bent her over his desk; it had been fucking glorious. But he couldn't do that again, she was pregnant, he might harm the baby so he told her.
"Idiot, the baby is protected, it would be dangerous after the 7th month, when the baby is getting into position."
"Are you sure?" Mikael asked and she nodded then added, "I did my research."
Suddenly she asked "you have been tender because you thought you might harm the baby?"
"Yes" he answered. "But now that I know better you have to pay Lisbeth Salander." He wore a lascivious smile.
He attacked her breasts; there was simply no other term. He licked, bit and squeezed them. She enjoyed his treatment, he then entered her without any warning, not that she needed any lubrication, she was sopping wet. He rode her hard.
"You wanted rough didn't you love, now you have rough." He drove into her hard.
She loved it, she trashed around the bed, raked her fingernails across his back and half sobbed/moaned his name. This was what she was craving, the maleness, and the roughness that Mikael gave her before the pregnancy. She dug her heels on his lower back and arched her back.
He lowered his head and feasted on her breasts, this was heaven. He could hear her excited moans which made him even harder for her. She was perfection, hot and tight and so responsive. He grabbed her head and brutally kissed her, his tongue inside her mouth reenacting what was happening in their lower parts.
Lisbeth was past coherence, she was crazy with pleasure, and she had reached her peak twice. Once while he was playing with her breasts and just now when he kissed her. But Mikael was not letting up, the orgasms made him proud but he was concerned with his climax. It had been months since he got to fully enjoy her and he was not going down until much later.
He whispered filthy things in her ear "you Sally have the best pussy I have been into, so tight and hot. But this is only for me, isn't it dear, answer me Sally." Every word was punctuated by a hard thrust.
She almost did not answer but she managed to get the words out "Yes, Mikael, yess only your pussy. Only yours ah ah ah." He continued riding her until he emptied himself inside of her.
He collapsed and went to sleep, she was so spent she did not even bother moving him from her. He stayed inside of her until later at the middle of the night he flipped them so that she was on her side with him hugging her middle and touching the now larger baby bump.
The next morning he woke up first, he kissed her naked shoulder and asked, "Are you alright, love?" She turned around and kissed him on the mouth. "I am a little sore but is a good kind of sore." She giggled and he joined her.
He got up and made breakfast, he had to go to Millennium, she was going to see Eriksson; they were going to have lunch together. Lisbeth wanted to go earlier and talk to her "friend". It was already 10:30 so she might as well go with Mikael.
She was wearing a black maternity dress. In Mikael's eyes she never looked more beautiful, she had a little love bite above her left breast. Before she could pull up her dress he kissed it and pulled her nipple. She ran her fingers through his hair and caressed his head, Mikael wanted to have her again but he knew they were already late. They would never make it on time if he continued with the enjoyable activity. He moved to her neck and sucked her skin. She moaned and pulled him for a heated kiss. His hands moved to her ass and he squeezed. She stopped him and told him to zip her dress. He obeyed but not before peppering little kisses across her dragon tattoo.
They walked to the office, the weather was better it was already June and people were anxiously waiting for the summer to begin. Millennium was launching a double issue, as it was custom they would close publications until late August. Mikael and Lisbeth were going to his cabin at the beach. She wanted to go to the Caribbean again but she could not travel.
When they entered the building they met with Cortez and Eriksson. Lisbeth went to Eriksson's office and chatted with her, mainly about the Evil Fingers. She wanted to introduce her to the other girls. Eriksson talked about her boyfriend who happened to be related to one of the girls in said group. At 11:30 Eriksson received a call from Berger.
"Yes Erika I will be there in a few minutes. I am sorry Lisbeth but Erika rescheduled the board meeting and I have to be there to represent the junior employees."
"I thought the board meeting was next week." She said.
"I thought so too but Harriet Vanger is going away to Australia in two weeks and she has not been part of the board meetings for about half a year."
Lisbeth remembered Mikael telling her that Henry had suffered a second heart attack but the old bastard managed to recover from it. Apparently Harriet was taking leave to take care of Henry. She wanted to spend more time with the old guy and suspended all of her affairs; her son took over the companies.
Lisbeth went to Mikael's office to let him know that she was probably buying food and then going home. When she entered the office she saw Harriet Vanger talking to him. She entered the office and made her presence known by standing in front of Mikael.
"Lisbeth, this is Harriet Vanger," he pointed to where Harriet was sitting.
"Harriet this is Lisbeth Salander, she helped me find you."
Harriet stood up and turned around to see Lisbeth, "Nice to meet you," she stretched her hand. Lisbeth ignored her and said to Mikael "I'll buy lunch, then I'm going home."
She did not acknowledge Harriet's presence; Lisbeth kissed him and then left the office. Mikael was a little uncomfortable; he knew Sally was not a Harriet fan. She made it perfectly clear years ago, according to her Harriet was a coward and that could have prevented the death of many women.
"Not very sociable is she?" Harriet was aware that Mikael and Salander had a relationship but she was shocked to learn that the girl was pregnant. "This means that whatever we had is over by now." The last time they saw each other intimately had been almost two years ago a little before the Salander trial. Mikael was an easy relationship, the sexual relief she had very once in a while. She was briefly unhappy to see him go but life had to go on.
"She is rough around the edges but I love her" he shrugged his shoulders.
"How far along is she?" She was truthfully curious.
"She's approaching her sixth month." Harriet seemed intrigued by Lisbeth but apparently she was not giving advice or her judgment on Sally.
They talked some more about the magazine's progress; they attended the board meeting where all the representatives were updated. The board meeting went according to plan. By two in the afternoon Mikael was back in his office finishing up his work. He planned to run some errands and then go home. He was arranging a surprise for his Sally. He planned to take her sailing around while they were at the cabin. He rented a private boat, they would spend sometime sailing and at his cabin.
