Aria rose from his chess, her fingers trailing a path down to his groin "Wanna go again?" she winked.
Victor fell back down on the bed and exhaled "Give me a break frail" he smirked "I'm 200 years older than you".
"Awwww" she mused sarcastically "Feeling it already?".
He growled lustfully and rolled her over with him on top now "I can still do you all night long fail, so be careful what you ask for".
He claimed her mouth again as he grew hard against the inside of her naked legs.
"I'm just surprised your pussy isn't sore yet".
She grinded against him "Oh, it's sore alright".
His sharp talons pierced her sides as his fangs bit her neck softly "Not sore enough obviously".
He kissed her slowly as his fingers teased and pinched her sore nipples. She moaned into his mouth.
They were suddenly caught off by his phone. He growled in agitation. Since they had teenagers, it was not okay to ignore his phone these days.
Victor slowly got off his wife as he reached for the nightstand.
His phone rang again as he picked it up. It was Ella. She was at a sleepover at her friend's house and she probably forgot something. As she always did.
But when Victor picked it up, his mood quickly changed.
"Dad?"
Her voice was trembling with crying sounds. Something was definitely wrong.
"What's going on?"
"I'm so sorry daddy. Sarah was sick. Her brother invited me to this party in Quebec. He promised not to drink. But now he's drunk and I don't know how to get back home. I'm so, so sorry daddy. Can you please pick me up?".
"Have you got your GPS tracker on?".
"Y-y-yes".
"I'm on my way".
Aria's eyes were big "What's wrong? Something with Ella?" she asked worriedly as soon as Victor had hung up the phone.
Victor clothes were on in a few seconds "Apparently her friend got sick and Ella went to a party with a guy who's now too drunk to drive back. I'm gonna go there now. I'll call Eric from the car to pick her up for me, he lives near that place".
"I'm coming with you!".
He frowned "What about Bjorn?".
Aria was dumbfounded for a second. She thought about calling Cora. But it was after midnight… Bjorn was asleep and she couldn't just let her 11 year old son home alone.
"Okay. I'll stay here. But you better call me as soon as you're with her".
"I will" he said as he quickly kissed her goodbye and rushed out. The screeching tires showing once more how fast he planned on getting to his daughter.
"Thanks for picking me up uncle Eric" Ella said as soon as she entered Eric's house. She was glad to be away from that party. She would never admit to it, but perhaps she was a little too young to party at the moment.
Eric took of his hat and coat, and placed them carefully on the hallstand.
"Tell me my dear, have you been drinking at this illegal social gathering?".
"No! Of course not. I'm 15!".
Eric cocked a brow "That did not stop you from going to a party with some college boy who is 18".
Ella stared down at her hands.
"Let's get some hot tea inside your belly. And possibly some red meat, your blood is running a little low on iron".
Ella made a face "You can smell that?" she asked as she sat down at the kitchen bar.
"The iron in your blood? Oh yes. So tell me-" Eric said as he poured the hot water "Why did you go to this party? Are you in such a hurry to grow up my dear?".
Ella shrugged "He asked me. I didn't wanna be a nark".
"I'm sorry, a what?".
"A nark. You know, an annoying person. Someone who ruins the fun, a bore".
"Ah, I see" Eric concluded "Well, it seems I was the nark and not you" he joked at Ella.
"Yeah" Ella clenched her teeth "You could have just rang the doorbell and quietly taken me home instead of making everyone's car fly around and enter through the roof".
"Your father asked me to get you as quickly as possible. Those cars were in the way" Eric simply explained "So this boy you went with… do you like him? Felt the need to impress him perhaps?".
She flushed a little "I used to like him. Not too sure how I feel about him after tonight".
"Ah" Eric rolled his eyes "Teenage boys who promise you not to drink and get you back on time. I can see why this sounded completely legit to you".
"Yeah yeah" Ella yawned "I can do without the sarcasm, thank you".
"Why don't you curl up on the couch, it's gonna be a few hours until your dad's here".
Within two minutes Ella was asleep on Eric's couch, a thick white woolen blanket covering her up. Eric looked at her. She had the same soft facial features her mom had. Though she also had the same sense of naivety that Eric had sensed when he first met Aria. Oh well, he shook his head. That was for her parents to deal with. He was just there to drop by from time to time, spend time with them and give advice when asked.
"Please don't tell mom, she will freak out and give me the I-am-so-disappointed-in-you-treatment" Aria begged her dad once he joined them at Eric's place.
"Too late" Victor replied briskly "Who did you think I was with when you called?".
"What?! I thought you had work this weekend. In Quebec City. That's why I called you. I thought maybe you were close".
"Well I wasn't. I cancelled work when I heard you were away for the weekend".
Ella frowned "But why?".
"Cuz lately, your mom and I don't get to spend too much time together. Alone, so we can break down the house" Victor growled in agitation, realizing how he could be fucking his wife right now instead of picking up his teen age daughter who wasn't even allowed to go to parties at the age of 15.
"Ew, gross dad".
He glared at his daughter "I don't think you're in any position to talk back young lady. I wanted to spend some time with your mom. Which you ruined by breaking the rules and now she is worried sick".
"Where's Bjorn?" Ella wondered.
"Home. Asleep. Which is where you should be right now. Get in the car".
Ella looked at the floor as she walked over to the door. She decided it was probably best not to talk too much. Both her parents were most likely either furious or disappointed. The last one was actually worse. She waved Eric goodbye and quickly made her way over to her dad's car.
"Aaaah" Eric mused as he walked them out "The difficulties of parenthood".
Victor growled inaudibly "Thanks old man, for picking her up so quickly. I owe you".
"No need to thank me. Just get out so I can continue my beauty sleep".
Victor chuckled "It's been a pleasure".
"Give your wife my best. And-" Eric lowered his voice so Ella couldn't hear "Don't be too hard on her" he said a she nodded his head towards Ella "We've all been young and stupid".
"Young, maybe. But I'm pretty sure I was never underaged-drinking-going-to-a-party-with-a-guy-I-hardly-know-stupid".
"That is only because you were never invited and that's about 200 years ago" Eric joked.
"No, it's because I was too busy raising that pain in the ass brother of mine".
Victor looked over his shoulder, Ella was already sitting in the car with her head down. She felt bad.
Good.
"Well, have a good one" Victor said as he walked over to his car "And thanks again".
Eric smiled "Don't mention it".
"Oh, I'm sure you will" Victor replied.
Eric smirked and closed the door, finally able to go back to bed.
"Where's your coat?" Victor asked as he ignited the car.
"Lost it" Ella's meekly replied.
Victor sighed and reached for a blanket on the backseat "Put this around ya. Not gonna make your mom any more angry by getting you sick".
"Is she really very angry?".
"Yes Ella, she's really fucking angry and so am I".
Ella bit her lip. This was probably not the time to jokingly tell her dad to watch his language because there was a minor around.
Victor sighed. "How did you pull this off anyway? You said you were going to Sarah's house for a sleepover. We would've smelled you out if you were lying to us".
"I wasn't lying at the time. I really did go to Sarah's house for the sleepover. And then her brother came up with the idea of going to this party of a guy he knew. He would drive and get me back on time. He promised not to drink. But-"
"Then he did" Victor finished her sentence.
"Yes".
"And where is Sarah now?".
"Home. She got sick, that's the only reason I went with her brother".
Victor sighed again, clearly disappointed "You're 15 Ella. Too young to drive a car, too young for drinking and too young for parties like that".
"I'm really sorry dad".
"Yeah well" Victor said, not knowing what else to say. Everything pretty much had been said. "I need to call your mom, let her know you're safe" Victor said as he dialed the number on his hands free car phone.
Aria almost instantly picked up the phone "Is she okay?!".
"Everything's fine. We're in the car on our way home now. Will take a few hours though".
"Thank God. Is she with you? Can you put her on?".
Victor looked to the side, finding his daughter's pleading eyes.
"She's fast asleep. Want me to wake her?".
He heard Aria sigh "No it's fine. Let her sleep".
"Okay. See you in a few".
He disconnected the call and stared straight ahead onto the road.
"Thanks dad".
"Yeah, well…" Victor grumbled "Why don't you actually go to sleep so I can tell myself I didn't just lie to your mom".
"Gladly" Ella yawned, completely exhausted from all the action.
"And count on some serious repercussions once I've spoken to your mom about this young lady".
AN: I think I have only 2 more epilogues left, and then I'm done with this story. I had a great time writing this, but I am really into my new fanfiction story which is about Rollo and Gisla after season 3 of Vikings :-) I am obsessed with them and what is going to happen next.
