Chapter 32

Eric's Point of View

The celebrations were in full swing again as the afternoon wore on, lunch was a picnic outside on the warm grass. Now with the pregnancy and our engagement out in the open we had no shame in showing off our baby or the love we share, that felt as though he or she had decided to make it's presences known a little more noticeably or maybe that was my imagination running away with itself?

Lips on the underside of my jaw line bring me out of my thoughts and I glance down to meet Sookie's beautiful blue eyes.

"You where away with the fairies there, my King." The way Sookie said my king had my dick hard and I knew she felt it through the linen material and her silk dress. I glanced over at Christian and Isabelle who looked deep in conversation and decided to play along with whatever game my lover had started so I pull her closer against me pressing my dick in to the back of her whilst I kept one hand over our baby and moved one hand to her hip.

"My queen, do not start something you may not be able to finish." She smirks smugly.

"You wouldn't seriously pursue me that way, my King,in front of your may have the illusion of privacy but we still have all eyes watching our every move, trying to find something they can criticize that isn't perfection."

I move the hand that's resting on her hip up to her chin and hold her in place as I place a passionate kiss on her lips leaving her breathless and whispering against her swollen lips, suddenly feeling very possessive.

"You are the vision of perfection, you are the sun, you are mine, my Queen, my wife." She snakes her hands around my neck and into my hair.

"And you are my King, you are my warrior and my Viking." She pushed her hips back against my hard dick. I growl and sweep her up in my arms enjoying the surprised squeal I get from my beautiful woman and without a backwards glance make my way back to the quiet castle to ravish my woman till sunset when we are due to dine in the last of the summer sunshine.

I make love to her throughout the rest of the afternoon enjoying the feelings of being inside her, of feeling our baby growing between us. Just enjoying it being us and no one else around to intervene or judge, or trying to find something to criticize, or warning us of danger's that hasn't even happened yet. September, the fifth month of my gorgeous woman's stay here will strike when the moon reaches its highest point in the sky.

Niall, who gets more critical and irritating with each passing visit, said the danger will make itself more widely known within this month and I wonder why this month specifically and again, what danger exactly?

I've not noticed or heard of any strange on-doings around the surrounding countryside or towns within my kingdom. I've not had to deal with any beheading or punishments since the disowning of Lord Nickolas and that was rather petty and a waist of my precious time.

A knock on the door releases me from my brooding and interrupts my delicious time with my soon to be wife, I let out an annoyed growl as the knock grows louder and louder. I lean in to kiss my gorgeous woman and march over to the door naked at the day I was born, too angry and frustrated to care. Before I swing the door open I look back over my shoulder to make sure my woman is covered. I. Do. Not. Share!

I then swing the door open and am glaring daggers at the person before me before I even register whom it is.

"This better be bloody good for you to have to disturb me?" I growl out angrily.

"Save your shit for someone who deserves it Eric." Christian glares right back at me. I feel Sookie's hand on my hip as she comes up behind me and wraps her arms around my waist. I feel material cover my lower regions and I look down to see Sookie's covered me with the bed sheet.

"At least some one has some decency." Christian smirks. Sookie rolled her eyes and gave him the end of the sheet she pulled together around his lower regions to him to hold as she responded to Christian's remark.

"Actually it was more for Isabelle's comfort than yours, future brother-in-law. I'm sure you've seen Eric naked hundreds of times." Eric glanced behind Christian to see a blushing Isabelle who avoided his eyes.

"Plus, I don't like to share what's mine." This got Eric's attention and his eyes roamed over Sookie pleased to see she'd slipped the dress back on and pleased that they had had enough sense to gently remove their clothing before they enjoyed an afternoon of bliss.

"The sun is starting to set brother and our new guests will arrive when the sun's down. The man said that's when they'll be back in town. I just thought I'd come and warn you both of the time of day and the fact people are becoming tired and hungry from dancing all the afternoon, plus you gained some critics with your display of... ah, affection earlier." Eric growled.

"They better get used to it, because now we are out in the open there's no point in hiding, and I like to show off what's mine."

"Who says I'm yours?" Sookie asks innocently, smirking at the look Eric shoots her over his shoulder.

"Tease."

"You walked yourself into that trap mister." She said backing away her voice laced with more innocence as Eric started advancing towards her, The sheet forgotten and left lying in a trail of white along the stone floor of the path Eric's feet are taking him.

Once Eric has her cornered he grabs her and pulls her into his chest whispering in her ear.

"If we didn't have an audience lover I'd take you again against the wall, where we are now." Eric didn't miss a thing and heard her breath hitch and felt his dick harden and harden even more as her warm hand wrapped around him and squeezed before letting him go.

"I'll look forward to that later." Eric growled. Christian's clearing of the throat brought them both out of the bubble they'd built around each other.

"We are still here, you know." Eric glared at his brother over his shoulder.

"Well, you are in our private chambers, invading our personal space and interrupting what was a peaceful afternoon until your knocking ruined the bubble we'd built up around us."

"IF we did leave, then none of us will have an evening meal and I must say I'm rather tired and hungry myself. I apologize brother but I'm not leaving until you get your ass down those stairs and start the evening as we can't without your Kingly presence." He smirked. Eric growled in annoyance and responded with.

"Well IF you'd wait outside my CLOSED door I might actually place a pair of trousers on brother dear, and I'm surprised you'd allow your woman to see another naked man." He saw Christian flush and smirked.

"I thought so, brother."

"How was I supposed to know that I'd be greeted by you naked as the day you were born?" Christian hissed and slammed the door shut.

Eric turned his head back to an amused looking Sookie and said.

"Now where were we?" And captured her lips with his.
