A New Viking Tale-Closed for Homerun2611

"My love, you are incredible, I could not want more from a lover. I must say, I have never attempted anal pleasure with anyone before, and I am excited that it seems to entice you. Not only will your purity be mine, and some might think it taboo...but I want us to enjoy all of each other's bodies. Even before we are wed, when you are ready, I would like to enjoy your ass....enjoy the feeling of fucking my wife.....you can see how hard I am just thinking about it...but you must be ready..."

"Thank you my eternal love for everything you've done, and said today. You've opened my eyes to a new world, you've opened my heart to true love, you've released my body from its cage and showed me a place of extreme bliss and desire. You've enchanted my people and my staff. You've held your word on all you've said without falter. I could not have settled for anyone less then who you are." She returned his kisses as her fingers swirled on his hairy chest and he played with her back.

"Tomorrow night we will try your anal request my love. You've worn me out for the day. There is something I need to tell you. I've been holding it back because I didn't want to put a damper on our day. When the news spreads to the people of the south east valley, there may be trouble. Their leader Lord Vance is a dirty, greedy sort of man. He's been trying to get my father to give him my hand. He's had his eye on this village for some time. He's accosted me a time or two just by being grabby. The way he looks at me gives me chills to my bones. He has told me that when he gets my hand he will break me no matter what it takes, that I would learn my place. I kneed him in the groin in response. He is not the type to fight fairly my Lord. Please don't be angry or let it ruin this night. Know that I love you and want only you."
 
They cuddled as she curled in his arms, stroking and petting his hairy, muscular, manly chest. He played with her hair and caressed her arms and back, not quite ready to call it a night but they needed to soon. The village would be up at daybreak and they both had considerable work to do, not to mention the party tomorrow evening where the pairings would be unveiled. That of course was not all he and they had to look forward to as their passion encouraged them to forge new frontiers together.

"Tomorrow night we will try your anal request my love. You've worn me out for the day..." He knew it was true, and he also wanted it to be special, it was not her womb, but all f her holes were sacred to him and he would romance and ready her, but he wanted to take her in the throes of passion and they were too spent to do that tonight, despite the fact his body would always be in a constant state of hunger for more of her. Yet not all the news was positive.

"...There is something I need to tell you. I've been holding it back because I didn't want to put a damper on our day. When the news spreads to the people of the south east valley, there may be trouble. Their leader Lord Vance is a dirty, greedy sort of man. He's been trying to get my father to give him my hand.

Please don't be angry or let it ruin this night. Know that I love you and want only you."

Lord Erik turned her toward him so he could look into her eyes, he felt a deep pang in his chest and needed to be sure of something. "Is there any more I should know? Did you have any reciprocal feelings for this man, or any man that I should be aware of? When I first approached you, I assumed you were in no way beholding or in want of another? Was I mistaken my Lady, for if so, I have been far too presumptuous, my feelings for you were so strong and pure, I did not allow myself to entertain you may have longed for another?" His heart stopped as he asked, never had he dreamed she might have cared or loved another. He waited on her reply.

"As for Lord Vance, I welcome his anger, for I can use him as an object lesson for any others who might try to claim your or any of your ladies hands. Should he try to approach you, or attack me, he will find he and any of his supporters will find harsh and quick rebute. For the only one who can take me away from you, is you, and only if you tell me you have felt for another, wanted or want another, as I feel you do me...as I do you?"

Her point was well taken though, and he needed to arm his outlooks, scouts and army, as reprisals for what they had done here today might well come soon, very soon, and he would not be caught flat footed as her father and his men had been!
 
"Is there any more I should know? Did you have any reciprocal feelings for this man, or any man that I should be aware of? When I first approached you, I assumed you were in no way beholding or in want of another? Was I mistaken my Lady, for if so, I have been far too presumptuous, my feelings for you were so strong and pure, I did not allow myself to entertain you may have longed for another?"

Placing both hands on the side of his face she continued to stare in his eyes as she shook her head and repeated "My Husband, i need you to listen to me, I love you and want only you, there had never been another, you are my husband. That man is grotesque, kneeing him in the crotch was not a form of foreplay. But I am afraid it may have only strengthened his resolve to have me."

"As for Lord Vance, I welcome his anger, for I can use him as an object lesson for any others who might try to claim your or any of your ladies hands. Should he try to approach you, or attack me, he will find he and any of his supporters will find harsh and quick rebut. For the only one who can take me away from you, is you, and only if you tell me you have felt for another, wanted or want another, as I feel you do me...as I do you?"

"I only feel for you my Husband, I have high hopes for you, our village, and its people. I am sorry to have brought it up and make you doubt me. I only wished for you to be aware of an impending threat. If I need repeat my vows to you I shall?. For I meant every word that I have said to you and even the words I didn't say with my mouth and my body." Pushing him over on his back she straddled him and positioned his cock between her slit as she leaned forward and kissed him with a mighty hunger and love. Her hips moved as her hardened nipples pressed into his chest. If he allowed her she would ride him once again until they both came.
 
Lord Erik should have listened more closely to Lady Anne from the outset, she had clearly said she had nothing but ill feelings toward this man, and had done nothing but profess and demonstrate her love and devotion to him. It had been pure jealousy, a most evil trait, but the mere thought of another man taking this woman who he so quickly and so deeply had fallen so very much in love with had enraged him and he was embarrassed as he was usually of such sound and disciplined mind.

However, he heard the fear in her voice as she responded, taking his cheeks in her hands she stared deep into his eyes, "My Husband, i need you to listen to me, I love you and want only you, there had never been another, you are my husband. That man is grotesque, kneeing him in the crotch was not a form of foreplay. But I am afraid it may have only strengthened his resolve to have me." He turned his hand enough to softly kiss her hand, as she continued.

"I only feel for you my Husband, I have high hopes for you, our village, and its people. I am sorry to have brought it up and make you doubt me. I only wished for you to be aware of an impending threat. If I need repeat my vows to you I shall?. For I meant every word that I have said to you and even the words I didn't say with my mouth and my body." She pushed him back and straddled him, perhaps wanting to make clear where his sex belonged, or how hers wanted and would have and open and respond only to his.

He closed his eyes, realizing how very hard he was again, and how very badly his body needed her one more time yet this night, how he wanted to cum for her, have her cum with and on him, and how he wanted it to be just their sex, their most intimate parts yielding and enjoying such gratification in each other! He moaned and grinded a bit, as she rocked and teased the sensitive underside of his cock head and shaft.

When he spoke, he spoke in a half moan, as his body was fully engaged in the rapture of her wetness sliding up and down his large, throbbing need. He had to force his eyes open, "My Lady, I do not doubt you, my heart, my body, my mind could not be this mistaken. You have done nothing but show me love and devotion, as I hope I have as well. It was merely the mention of another man wanting to replace me in your heart, in your bed, it only intensified how meaningless and intolerable my life would be could I not have you. We will speak our marriage vows, but that is only for the rest, for we are wed, you have my heart for eternity and I know I have yours.....but, I do want to continue this...I thought I was done...but I want to feel each other one more time....you are my woman, I am your man...and let us enjoy each other one last time tonight!"

With that he raised his hands and fondled and teased her breasts and nipples, as e grinded his hips in reaction to hr movements...and then he let his hands ride down the sides of her torso until he held her hips and began moving her back and forth as his moans grew ever louder!
 
"My Lady, I do not doubt you, my heart, my body, my mind could not be this mistaken. You have done nothing but show me love and devotion, as I hope I have as well. It was merely the mention of another man wanting to replace me in your heart, in your bed, it only intensified how meaningless and intolerable my life would be could I not have you. We will speak our marriage vows, but that is only for the rest, for we are wed, you have my heart for eternity and I know I have yours.....but, I do want to continue this...I thought I was done...but I want to feel each other one more time....you are my woman, I am your man...and let us enjoy each other one last time tonight!"

With that speech she kissed him with every fiber of her being showing him just how much she belonged to him. Her hips continued to grind and slide her cunt up and down his mighty sword. It was the most intimate they could be given the circumstances. She gasped and moaned into his mouth as her hips moved faster. Anne's body yearned for them to explode together, she wanted him so deep with in her it hurt. She was resolved that she would get their marriage performed as soon as possible. For each day without being able to fully give herself to him would be torture.

Placing her hands on his chest she sat up and moved up and down the length of his shaft. Riding him as she would a horse first a slot trot, then a gallop, and soon she was in full canter pushing out her chest. Her head back and long hair flowing wildly as she moved without abandonment and trusted in her body allowing it to express itself freely.

Before to long the build of her orgasm was at its heights, "i'm going to cum my love" she whispered breathlessly as her hips moved faster, lowering herself back down her breasts and hard nipples against his chest as her mouth seized his once again and she let go. Kissing him and crying out into his mouth as her body shuttered hard and uncontrollably as her cum covered his balls and shaft. Her hips moves still working through the after shocks of their love making.
 
She let her body answer his request to continue and it did joyously. The woman who had been so timid earlier in the day at their sexual exploration was now one with her body's needs, her needs and his needs, and she let her body play and enjoy. "Mmmm, how I like being between your legs, feeling your wetness, your heat, I want you so bad, and my body, my cock craves his woman!"

She grinded as did he, erotically, and their moans were such that they woke the young servant, who at first was concerned someone was in pain. Dutifully she got up, thinking she might need to tend to he lady, but as she got closer, it was clear, he lady had all the attention she needed. She could not stop herself, she cracked the door and looked inside, and there was her Lady Anne, sitting atop the nordic god, they were not mating but were doing something that seemed far more erotic. It was like a horizontal dance as their hips circled and slid, how she gripped his chest, and how her teased hers.

Lady Anne, through her head back, as if she was riding a wild stallion, and perhaps she was. The young servant, couldn't help herself, she pulled up her long night shirt and robe, and let her hands find her swollen, wet button, which was screaming to be touched. Never had she self pleasured, but never had she seen such a sight, heard such words.

"My lady, your cunt is magic, heaven for my cock and yet you only tease and pet him, just imagine after we are wed, how you will swallow him and he will take you and fill your womb!" Eric rolled and pinched Lady Annes nipples, their sexes grinded and played, and the young sevant girl found little circles, and then pressing harder and harder had her feeling almost as good as they seemed to.

The good lady arched her head back and frantically slid up and down screaming, Lord Erik did the same, and the servant saw small arcs of his white goo fly over his shoulder landing on the pillow...and as they came, so did she...juices flowing down her thighs of what she was both nervous and excited. She swallowed and crept away. "Well at least her Lady had maintained her purity...but oh my...what a sight that had been!" That was the first time the servant had known such pleasure but it would not be the last, nor the last time she was a hidden voyeur for the Lord and the Lady, in fact she could hardly wait for the next time.

Erik fell asleep after many long and tender kisses as they rode down their orgasmic bliss. Tomorrow the maid, unasked would change the sheets, as their cum was everywhere, and it being the first night and all, from now on, sheets might need changing far more regularly. In the morning Erik slipped out of bed and wearing only a night shirt headed down for coffee, before dressing. There was the young maid, happy and whistling. He smiled as she poured hm a mug, and then they said in unison before laughing, "So, I hope you slept well..."
 
"Mmmm, how I like being between your legs, feeling your wetness, your heat, I want you so bad, and my body, my cock craves his woman!" Anne couldn't help but blush at the blunt honesty that they now shared. "Your woman craves her man to be buried deeply with in her and soon my love you shall be." Her words came out with gasps as she rode his cock. Oh how she loved the feeling his hard monster of a cock gave her clit. With each rub of her button the orgasm built with in her.

Anne would have been mortified if she had known they were being watched. For if word got out about this, she would have to deny it and the girl would be cast out of town and labeled a liar.

"My lady, your cunt is magic, heaven for my cock and yet you only tease and pet him, just imagine after we are wed, how you will swallow him and he will take you and fill your womb!"

"I am quite certain it is you my Lord that is magic, not just your might sword that begs to be allowed entrance, but your entire being."

It didn't take much longer for their bodies to once again reach climax together. Their bodies bucking and moans and gasps echoing from their lips as she licked his cum from his chest. She placed her hand between her wet thighs and rubbed her cum over him. Taking some of his she rubbed it over herself. It was after all their own private ritual.

Drifting off to sleep didn't take much, his strong arms holding her as he lay kisses upon her brow. Soft words of hope and love being murmured and she fell asleep. It was the hardest sleep she had ever encountered. When she awoke he wasn't there. She rose from his bed and gathered her clothes slipping into her room through the adjacent door. She messed up her bed to look as though she had slept in it, and found a simple dress that didn't require a lot of fuss. She rang the bell summoning Katie to come and do her hair.

"Good Morning My Lady did you sleep well?"
"Yes quite well thank you. Have you seen Lord Erick this morning?"
"I believe he's in the kitchen milady, getting some coffee."
"Oh excellent he's up. Please have the cook prepare a hearty breakfast. I find myself ravished this morning." Oh how the word ravished held a whole different meaning then what Katie might realize.

After Katie left her, she waited for Erick to return. He was greeted with a smile as she stood in the doorway between the two rooms. "Good morning my husband. Di you sleep well? Cook is preparing breakfast, I need to see to the preparations for tonight's event. I have a feeling that we may have more ladies looking for a match then what showed up yesterday. I also need to go to the priest and I'll try and have the conversion planned for tomorrow. He will be overjoyed (she rolled her eyes) that so many wish to convert to Christianity."

She waited for him to be dressed before saying "shall we go down to breakfast my husband?"
 
Erik smiled, "Well then I will answer first, I slept very well, very well indeed. Thank you for arranging my room, the fact it is right next door to Lady Anne ensures I will always be able to protect her, and protect this house. You and cook are my responsibility to, and I will lay down my life before anyone ever brings any of the women of this household harm." The young servant girl only nodded, never letting on what she had enjoyed witnessing last night.

She spoke in English but Erik was fluent, and listened carefully. "Your men, Lord Erik, are there any younger men, younger and also looking for a mate?" She blushed as she said it, but seeing the bliss of Lady Anne now, made her want some of the same for herself. Of course she worked for Lady Anne, but perhaps she could have a husband here in a wing, or they might build a small cabin elsewhere. So many thoughts going through the young maiden's mind, so many things she had never dared consider before.

Erik walked over to her and took her hand. "Yes, there are many of my men who are younger and some older and I believe, even those that had never considered it before may well change their mind should they learn a maiden as lovely and dear as yourself is in the offing. Have you spoken to Lady Anne? Does she know of your potential desire?" The young maiden could not even look at him, she barely recognized herself considering such a thing, let alone mentioning it to the Lord or the Lady.

He reached out and raised her chin, forcing her to look at him, "When we come back down to breakfast, I will mention it for you, but you may simply wave me off if you change your mind, okay?" She nodded, "Oh thank you!" and then curtsied, he chuckled softly, thinking how much everyone's lives in this village, their women and his men.

He headed back up and Lady Anne was already awake, and a bit to his disappointment dressed. It was a simple gown, but nicely clung to her lovely figure. Her smile made his morning, "Good morning my husband. Di you sleep well? Cook is preparing breakfast, I need to see to the preparations for tonight's event. I have a feeling that we may have more ladies looking for a match then what showed up yesterday. I also need to go to the priest and I'll try and have the conversion planned for tomorrow. He will be overjoyed (she rolled her eyes) that so many wish to convert to Christianity."

He laughed, "Well, I know for me, iit took a very divine presence to inspire my new faith!" He closed and checking no one was near them he put his hands on her waist and kissed her. "Mmmm, now that is what I need in the morning!" He stepped back and let his eyes caress her "Of course I want even more, but I will settle for that! I did sleep well, you? There was a peacefulness, a wholeness, a oneness, and now that I have you, I don't believe I will ever sleep any other way!"

He knew he must let go, and he did. He started getting dressed. "So today, I am going to gather all of the men, both mine and those of yours young and able. I don't believe Lord Vance is the only hostility we may face and I need to understand how many of your village are willing and want to stand with my men...even should we face hostility from the King? I am not wanting to battle the new king, but I am worried he may not feel the same. In any case, we must know our capability."

He was now dressed, and she was waiting, still smiling, "shall we go down to breakfast my husband?" He closed and held her, "I love how that sounds, yes, the sooner we start our day, the sooner we will finally get back home!" They had discussed something new they were going to try tonight and Erik knew he would have hard time not letting the anticipation consume his thoughts.

They came down and cook had a wonderful breakfast of ham, eggs, and porridge, and Erik realized he too was famished. He waited for her servant to enter, and then he turned to Lady Anne. "My love, your maiden has expressed some interest in participating in tonight's festivities, she asked my if I might have some younger men of mine also interested in marriage, I believe she would like your thoughts?"
 
"Well, I know for me, it took a very divine presence to inspire my new faith!"

She smiled and said lightly "Wouldn't it be nice if we could create our own religion where we could simply worship each other all day everyday without interruptions." She treasured each kiss that he gave her melting into his arms and molding herself around him. Anne wished for once she could skip her responsibilities and just love her husband all day long with caresses, kisses, and a lot of explosions.

"Mmmm, now that is what I need in the morning!" He stepped back and let his eyes caress her "Of course I want even more, but I will settle for that! I did sleep well, you? There was a peacefulness, a wholeness, a oneness, and now that I have you, I don't believe I will ever sleep any other way!"

"I would like more as well. I am very grateful to whomsoever god is responsible for us finding each other. For I have never slept so sound and completely in my life. I will be so happy not have to hide our affections from the world. Perhaps once things have settled a bit after we're married we could have a cottage built for the two of us to escape to." She liked the idea of running away with him for a day or two and getting as little sleep as possible.

"So today, I am going to gather all of the men, both mine and those of yours young and able. I don't believe Lord Vance is the only hostility we may face and I need to understand how many of your village are willing and want to stand with my men...even should we face hostility from the King? I am not wanting to battle the new king, but I am worried he may not feel the same. In any case, we must know our capability."

Anne's face went from a smile to straight as he mentioned Lord Vance and the hostilities they may face. The last thing she wanted to think of was more blood shed and lives loss, especially the life of her beloved.
"I believe Lord Vance will probably be the first, but the news of our nuptials will travel quickly. The boy king will come looking for a fight, and we shall destroy him. I have a bit more to say on this, but it will have to wait a bit."

"I love how that sounds, yes, the sooner we start our day, the sooner we will finally get back home!" Anne smiled and took his arm. She was glad to hear that he was anticipating and wanting their time alone as much as she was.

They came down and cook had a wonderful breakfast of ham, eggs, and porridge, and Erik realized he too was famished. He waited for her servant to enter, and then he turned to Lady Anne. "My love, your maiden has expressed some interest in participating in tonight's festivities, she asked my if I might have some younger men of mine also interested in marriage, I believe she would like your thoughts?"

"Oh, well i have many thoughts." she said with a knowing grin to Erik, "First and foremost the law states you must have permission from your husband to continue to work after you are wed. Please take that into consideration. Most women find that being a wife and homemaker is a full time job. I will miss you, but I will understand if that's the route you take. My recommendations for a man are to find one that likes the things you like, that their temperament is similar to your own, someone that you are not only attracted to physically, but mentally as well. So yes of course you're welcome to join the mingle, I'm sure my Lord will have others that have reconsidered their positions on joining as well."

After the girl had left she spoke again "The priest is located on the outskirts of town a bit. If you require that I have a chaperone I will not object. I know that you are as protective over my being as I am of yours."
 
He smiled at the playful and sacrilegious thought, "Wouldn't it be nice if we could create our own religion where we could simply worship each other all day everyday without interruptions." He caressed her body, and kissed her thinking. "Well maybe informally we can, define rules and ceremonies, make sacrifices to each other and our love, let it be a source of fuel for our desires and needs. Maybe even make ceremonial garments for certain things. We could let our imaginations go, but we might find it quite fun as ways to even further enhance our arousal?!?!" He quite liked the thought and planned to consider it more.

She was playful, but clearly didn't want to break either, "I would like more as well. I am very grateful to whomsoever god is responsible for us finding each other. For I have never slept so sound and completely in my life. I will be so happy not have to hide our affections from the world. Perhaps once things have settled a bit after we're married we could have a cottage built for the two of us to escape to." A cottage, it made him think of home. "I would like that, perhaps something on the coast, or a nearby lake? Something secluded where we could wear nothing or near nothing days on end, venture out in the water, swimming or boating? I have always been near the sea, I could swim as early as I could walk, and I think we would enjoy that?" He looked at her hopeful as he found the water peaceful and calmng.

They spoke of likely aggressors, "I believe Lord Vance will probably be the first, but the news of our nuptials will travel quickly. The boy king will come looking for a fight, and we shall destroy him. I have a bit more to say on this, but it will have to wait a bit." He nodded. "Unfortunately, the boy king is jealous of his father's affections for me, and his men know of me, and will not come in unprepared. The good news is they all fear facing me, for none would dare challenge me man to man. When a man goes to battle with fear in his heart he is fighting with one hand behind his back, and the British Army fights in antiquated formations, that can be easily out flanked, but they are rich in resources and I do not take them lightly!" They were both looking forward to getting back alone tonight and continuing their enjoyment of each other.

Down they went and Eric let Lady Anne know of the amorous desires of her servant. Lady Anne wisely explained things that she should take into consideration. Erik spoke first, "Those are all fine points, you sound like a woman who has strongly evaluated marriage?" He was only partly teasing. However the sweet servant was concerned. "My Lady, My Lord, I do not wish to leave your services, but perhaps could both my husband and I commit to your service and build a home here on the grounds?...Also, how do you know if you have such a bond and commonality with a man, my Lady, may I ask, what made you so certain of the Lord as you seem so happy, as does he?"

After the discussion the servant left and they assumed she might join the mingle. Erik had in mind a young archer, young, strng, handsome and having skill with his hands, perhaps learning the trades of a craftsman. Finally they were alone. "The priest is located on the outskirts of town a bit. If you require that I have a chaperone I will not object. I know that you are as protective over my being as I am of yours." Erik smiled, "Only if I may be that chaperone, although I fear for any scoundrel who feels they can out duel you! But it is a glorious morning for a ride, and I have my men busy. They shall not miss my appearance as long as I am back by late morn? Would you enjoy my company?"
 
"Well maybe informally we can, define rules and ceremonies, make sacrifices to each other and our love, let it be a source of fuel for our desires and needs. Maybe even make ceremonial garments for certain things. We could let our imaginations go, but we might find it quite fun as ways to even further enhance our arousal?!?!"

"We'd have to be careful about it, there is a lot of superstition among the people."
She then talked about going away once things calmed down just the two of them.

"I would like that, perhaps something on the coast, or a nearby lake? Something secluded where we could wear nothing or near nothing days on end, venture out in the water, swimming or boating? I have always been near the sea, I could swim as early as I could walk, and I think we would enjoy that?

"Yes I think we would my love. Though with no clothes we may never leave the bed." The thought hadn't entered her mind that there was more then one surface that could be used for making love.

As they continued to speak of the undeniable violence that was going to come their way. He said "Unfortunately, the boy king is jealous of his father's affections for me, and his men know of me, and will not come in unprepared. The good news is they all fear facing me, for none would dare challenge me man to man. When a man goes to battle with fear in his heart he is fighting with one hand behind his back, and the British Army fights in antiquated formations, that can be easily out flanked, but they are rich in resources and I do not take them lightly!"
"Nor should you my lord" she responded waiting for the right time to talk to him of her plans for him.

Down at breakfast she had told the servant of things to take into consideration before committing to a husband.
"Those are all fine points, you sound like a woman who has strongly evaluated marriage?" He was only partly teasing. She shot her husband a crooked smile with a slightly raised eyebrow.

However the sweet servant was concerned. "My Lady, My Lord, I do not wish to leave your services, but perhaps could both my husband and I commit to your service and build a home here on the grounds?...Also, how do you know if you have such a bond and commonality with a man, my Lady, may I ask, what made you so certain of the Lord as you seem so happy, as does he?"

"My Lord I believe needed a woman that was capable of holding her own against him in a sword fight" she teased. Then composed herself and thought carefully before she replied. "There were so many moments that made me convinced it's hard to say there is just one. I honestly don't know if it would be the same for you or anyone else. But when I looked in his eyes, and he talked to me, not at me. When his hand laid lightly upon my arm to comfort me, when.. Well, you get the idea. The most important thing to remember is that if you don't tell your partner what you think or what you feel, they will not know. If they disagree, you have to find a compromise that works for the both of you. For if neither is willing to give a little footing, nothing will ever be resolved."

The girl thanked them curtsied and left. "If she finds herself anyone like I have, there will never be a moments work done between the two of them if we allow him into the service of the house." she only half joked as it really was a concern.

She talked of going to the priest and questioning if he wished her to have a chaperone. "Only if I may be that chaperone, although I fear for any scoundrel who feels they can out duel you! But it is a glorious morning for a ride, and I have my men busy. They shall not miss my appearance as long as I am back by late morn? Would you enjoy my company?"

Anne smiled wildly "I would indeed my Lord, we should be back with in a couple hours. Though when we are there you will need to wait outside. The priest has to believe that this is my will or he won't allow it. I should be able to sway him, and perhaps he could even convert you today and we can plan our marriage ceremony." she was very excited at the idea of perhaps being able to legally wed him sooner then they'd hoped.

Getting up she went over to a cabinet and pulled out a belt and sword and placed it upon herself. "Just in case I have to defend your honor against any of those wicked women" she teased. Of course the real reason was she was planning on fighting if they found themselves flanked by Lord Vance's men or anyone else that thought of scathing her husband.

They went to the stables and had their horses prepared and headed out. As they left the town behind them she pointed out different places which roads led to where, and which farms produced what. They came upon the church and although she could dismount on her own, she gave him the courtesy of waiting for his help. Of course she also wanted an excuse to feel his hands on her body again. "Thank you" she said with a smile that held a lot of mischievousness behind it.

Anne entered the church and closed it's wooden doors behind her. "Lady Anne, you're alive I was so worried." she smiled "Of course i'm alive Father Joseph, it's good to see you. I apologize that I didn't send word sooner. But all is well, actually it is on it's way to being the best it's ever been."

He looked at her confused. Her tone saddened for a moment

"First i'm sure you've heard that during the capture of our town, we have lost many members along with my father."

"Yes the heathens"

She held up her finger. "No" he gave her a confused look. "Our town was poorly maned and unfortified, this fault i lay with its leader. The viking leader Erik did what any leader would, he captured the town fairly, and him and I have entered into negotiations. We both realize that the other has knowledge and strengths that would work better together, then to strip the town apart and sell it's people, you included, into slavery. We have agreed instead to join forces and bring our town forward with hope." He looked confused. "I intend to marry him father, as several of the women in town have decided they would be willing to be potential matches for his men."

"You can't marry him, the law won't accept a heathen marriage."

"No it won't father, but it will accept a christian one. Erik and his men have agreed to convert to Christianity."

Father Joseph had several perplexed looks go across his face as he thought about it. One of which was probably that he could be responsible for bringing so many heathens to his lord and savior. Even the pope might award him with something for such a feat. "You say this is whats in the best interest of the town, and no one has been coerced into it? you realize that we'll have to be sure as you are a lady and they will do the purity test upon you."

"Yes Father, I nor none of the towns women have been coerced, nor have we been taken against our will, we have been treated fairly and justly. We are all free to make the choice of our own accord. In good faith, I have brought Erik to your doors, he waits outside, willing to be converted this very day to show you his resolve to god and to our town."

"I would be willing to meet him, if I find his resolve to be true I will convert him this very day."

She smiled did the cross upon her chest and went to the door. "Erik, Father Joseph would like to speak to you. I've been telling him of your resolve to be one with our god and your deep commitment Christianity." as her back was to the father she rolled her eyes so only Erik could see them.
 
Erik had teased at having their own ceremonies, and while Lady Anne had not rejected she had given him good counsel. "We'd have to be careful about it, there is a lot of superstition among the people." He nodded, "That is good to know, and my idea is strictly for us, to celebrate our exploration together. Our world can be all we choose to make of it! However, are there things I should particularly be wary of as to not concern the people over their superstitions?"

They discussed a cottage and his desire to have a place near the water, "Yes I think we would my love. Though with no clothes we may never leave the bed." He had a twinkle in his eye, "Ahhh, but think of last night when we were in the water and instead of sliding up and down on my sword, it slipped inside your soft, velvety sheath, don't you think you might have enjoyed our time all the more?" They spoke of the concerns and high likelihood of aggressors, and that would be the primary source of the discussion he shared with his men later today when they met.

He smiled at Lady Anne's description of their attraction, nodding as she spoke, "My Lord I believe needed a woman that was capable of holding her own against him in a sword fight" she teased. Then composed herself and thought carefully before she replied. "There were so many moments that made me convinced it's hard to say there is just one. I honestly don't know if it would be the same for you or anyone else. But when I looked in his eyes, and he talked to me, not at me. When his hand laid lightly upon my arm to comfort me, when.. Well, you get the idea. The most important thing to remember is that if you don't tell your partner what you think or what you feel, they will not know. If they disagree, you have to find a compromise that works for the both of you. For if neither is willing to give a little footing, nothing will ever be resolved."

He caressed her hand as he then turned to the servant, "I agree with everything the lady says, there must be true respect and admiration of the inherent qualities and strengths of your partner, and an understanding and tolerance of weakness and a desire to help assist. But, I do believe there must also be passion in the strongest and best of couplings...a deep down desire to explore and enjoy this individual that is most unique and exceptional. I know it is not usual to say this, but your Lady has ignited a fire in me that I never dreamed possible and that I know, deep in my very soul, will keep me on even the coldest of nights. You are young and I truly hope you find the same."

He laughed at Lady Anne's comment after she left, "If she finds herself anyone like I have, there will never be a moments work done between the two of them if we allow him into the service of the house." HA, he laughed, "And do you not think we can rule and lead our people and still maintain unending and insatiable passion. I believe our love will make us burn hotter and brighter in all facets of our lives, feeling complete and trying to create a world for ourselves and our children truly worth having!"

She had hinted at her acceptance of a chaperone, and he had offered his personal services, "I would indeed my Lord, we should be back with in a couple hours. Though when we are there you will need to wait outside. The priest has to believe that this is my will or he won't allow it. I should be able to sway him, and perhaps he could even convert you today and we can plan our marriage ceremony." He smiled, "I can't imagine any man could refuse you, but I will follow your lead, and I believe I can be convincing, afterall I won your heart."

He loved the way she went to the cabinet and picked out her weaponry, "Just in case I have to defend your honor against any of those wicked women" He teased, "Perhaps you need a quiver and arrows as well, I think I may have drawn quite the fancy from your fine ladies!" He knew the real enemies and they were no joke, but he thought it unlikely they would run into issues quite yet. He helped her onto her house, enjoying the momentary grasp of her fine body.

The morning ride out to the edge of town was glorious, as he delighted in this time together, and her pointing out the various landmarks and things he should know about these lands. She was s unlike any women he had ever met, her worldliness and sense of greater purpose, she was as much or more the queen than the queen herself. Every minute they were together he was more impressed and loved her all the more. Finally, they arrived at the catholic church. He resisted kissing her, only helping her off the horse and tying them up and getting them pails of water as they rested. He took a moment to look around. There was a small cemetery where there were several new graves being dug, which he realized were due to his invasion. He would address the moose on the table when he spoke with the priest.

Lady Anne had been inside close to twenty minutes when she walked out, and motioned for him to join her. The minute he walked in he could not miss the concern, if not outright hostility he saw from the local holy man. "Good morning Father..." He walked in and bowed to honor the priest, "....thank you for meeting with me." The priest gave him little quarter, "So, you are the heathen that has somehow convinced our Lady Anne that you are willing to convert, and are fit to lead after savage attack on our people."

He took the onslaught and kept his cool. "I appreciate how you may feel that way, we were certainly the aggressors, but I hope you will realize, as Lady Anne has, that this community was not ready to defend itself which no community can allow. Together we will be stronger and able to create a sustainable and secure home for all, and there is no shortage of challengers. She has also allowed me to see the wisdom and importance of finding the love in someone greater than yourself. I have pledged my intent and desire to devote my life to the singular divine."

Of course the Lord was referring to Lady Anne, but he had intentionally been ambiguous so that the holy man would believe it was the Christian God. Suddenly the man brightened, "Well then, this truly is a miracle! Perhaps, this can be as you say. Are you truly committed?" Erik looked at his love and with all the sincerity in the world he answered, carefully, but truthfully, "I could not be more committed, I promise with all my heart."

That was that, the holy man, could foresee a great win for Christianity, and a clear legacy for him in Rome. "Well then, let's go through your steps to conversion, plan to return here tomorrow, and then on Sunday we will baptise you at mass...." He turned to Lady Anne, "I assume you would like to take your wedding vows as soon as possible, what say we plan for a week from Saturday, 8 days hence..."
 
"That is good to know, and my idea is strictly for us, to celebrate our exploration together. Our world can be all we choose to make of it! However, are there things I should particularly be wary of as to not concern the people over their superstitions?"

"More or less anything that can be taken as offence to God. I think if we do our ceremonies, or whatever we come up with in private, we should be good. Did you have anything particular in mind?"

She spoke of them never leaving the bed when they go away together. "Ahhh, but think of last night when we were in the water and instead of sliding up and down on my sword, it slipped inside your soft, velvety sheath, don't you think you might have enjoyed our time all the more?" She couldn't help but blush at his description and reference. "Fair point my husband" she said with a smirk.

Anne half heartily spoke of her concern over the young servant having her husband employed here as well. "And do you not think we can rule and lead our people and still maintain unending and insatiable passion. I believe our love will make us burn hotter and brighter in all facets of our lives, feeling complete and trying to create a world for ourselves and our children truly worth having!"
She placed her hand on his thigh under the table and slowly worked it up to his groin where she stroked it lightly through the fabric of his pants. "Are you saying that once we are married and you get to sheath your sword as often as you wish, wherever you wish, that this will not be a hindrance in getting things done?"

Her smile beamed at him when he spoke of his belief in her ability to convince anyone of anything, and that he felt he stood a good chance since he won her heart.
"I'm quite sure my sword will make a finer statement" she said jesting with him about protecting him from the women of the town.

When it was Eriks turn to talk to the priest she took a step back and folded her hands in front of her lowering her head slightly. It was important that she appear as a good christian subservient bride to be. It took great reserve for her not to smirk as Erik wrapped the priest around his little finger. He was quite skilled with their language. He never seized to amaze her in his diplomacy, willingness to learn her culture, and ability to charm everyone around him.

He turned to Lady Anne, "I assume you would like to take your wedding vows as soon as possible, what say we plan for a week from Saturday, 8 days hence..." She raised her head and smiled giving a nod and a curtsy. "That would be most wonderful Father Joseph thank you. There may be others joining Erik tomorrow with the same desire. We are throwing a mingle tonight at the great hall if you would like to come and observe the way the two peoples have united." "I may just do that" he said thinking of how he could use a healthy amount of wine.

Giving another curtsy and a smile she motioned slightly for Erik to walk in front of her, and she followed like an obedient woman. Once outside she said "That went as well as i'd hope. You seemingly won his heart with your pledge to the divine" she said with a knowing smile. "Only 8 more days and you can plow my fields" she said with a laugh as she clicked her heals and set her horse forth with a nice sprint.
 
He had broached the topic more flirtatious than serious, but she had answered sincerely and put the ball back in his court. "More or less anything that can be taken as offence to God. I think if we do our ceremonies, or whatever we come up with in private, we should be good. Did you have anything particular in mind?" He kept his arms around her, holding her, but pulled back just enough to look in her eyes and wink. "Well, I can't say I have anything specific, but you, your body and the worship thereof, inspires me, as I hope mine does you, and with our passion, our imaginations and our want to dedicate and worship each other fully, who knows where that might lead?"

At breakfast they had teased of whether their desires for each other might prove difficult to maintain and excel a their other obligations and responsibilities. Suddenly, he felt her hand on his thigh, and then caressing his manhood as he let out a welcome moan, adjusting to allow her as much access as she desired. "Are you saying that once we are married and you get to sheath your sword as often as you wish, wherever you wish, that this will not be a hindrance in getting things done?" He thrusted slightly into her hand, enjoying this unexpected moment and devilish side of his lady. "Your point is well taken and most enjoyed. I quite like the liberties and freedom you now take in enjoying my sword, it is always here craving and eagerly anticipating your touch. But to answer your question, I believe you will keep my sword so well kept, and my desires so singularly focused and knowing that there is so much enjoyment and to come home to, I will work most efficiently and focused to maximize the time I can spend in such pursuit and enjoyment, the hunger we have between our legs, will only heighten our senses in all of our pursuits. However, what about your sheath, once it had enjoyed enveloping and owning its sword, how will it deal with those gaps when it is not holstered?" They were teasing, both eagerly anticipating their consummation!

Erik knew he had won over the priest when he turned to Lady Anne, "I assume you would like to take your wedding vows as soon as possible, what say we plan for a week from Saturday, 8 days hence..." She raised her head and smiled giving a nod and a curtsy. "That would be most wonderful Father Joseph thank you. There may be others joining Erik tomorrow with the same desire. We are throwing a mingle tonight at the great hall if you would like to come and observe the way the two peoples have united."

Erik smiled at the priest's response, rightly understanding that the priests desires were far from pious, or even celibate. At the right moment he might well use that to further his and Lady Anne's ambitions. Suddenly the priest went to his desk and pulled out a tomb of which he lifted two leather bound sections. "These are the stories of creation and the crucifiction of our Lord, Jesus Christ. You do read the King's language, don't you?" Erick smiled, "The King's word and Latin, the unspoken language of he Pope, correct, I am fluent in both!" The old priest couldn't help but be impressed. "Perhaps you are all that Lady Anne suggests, we shall see? Please read both prior to our meeting tomorrow, so that you can help me with your men?"

Erik nodded, solemnly, "It will be my honor to." Once they were alone, Lady Anne was pleased and again flirtatious! "That went as well as i'd hope. You seemingly won his heart with your pledge to the divine...Only 8 more days and you can plow my fields" He laughed, "Well, while your fields still may require a bit of wait, I do believe we have a reservation for some plowing tonight, and your fields will be well farmed and satisfied as well....In fact..." He never finished as suddenly, teasingly, she took off at a gallop!

She was stunningly beautiful her red hair flowing in the wind, she rode with skill and daring, just as she fought! "Yeeeawww" He put his heels into his stallion and was quickly in pursuit, but he knew it was folly, she was far too skilful, and he frankly enjoyed marveling in the skill and daring of his woman! Finally just a bit outside the town's square, she slowed to a trot and he pulled up aside her. "Well my Lady, if you want me to catch you, you will need to slow down a bit, for now man nor beast will catch you with such as start!" He was breathing hard, but got seriious. "My Lady, what are your people's feelings for the new king, are they loyal or do they understand his tactics and the cruelty and selfishness that will guide his rule?"

It was a leading question but a fair one, and he needed to understand if he had the local support to provide some resistance to outright tyranny! "I need to go, my men await, thank you for letting my join you, once again we were a fine team...I look forward to the mingle, shall we have a small dinner beforehand or will you be consumed guiding the preparation?"
 
"Well, I can't say I have anything specific, but you, your body and the worship thereof, inspires me, as I hope mine does you, and with our passion, our imaginations and our want to dedicate and worship each other fully, who knows where that might lead? She couldn't help but blush at his response. "I will admit that I am a beginner in the arts that our passions induce. But you must know that I follow your lead with willingness and eagerness. I hope that I worship you with the attentiveness you deserve. My imagination is limited, but my willingness to learn is exponential."

As they flirted at breakfast:
"Your point is well taken and most enjoyed. I quite like the liberties and freedom you now take in enjoying my sword, it is always here craving and eagerly anticipating your touch. But to answer your question, I believe you will keep my sword so well kept, and my desires so singularly focused and knowing that there is so much enjoyment and to come home to, I will work most efficiently and focused to maximize the time I can spend in such pursuit and enjoyment, the hunger we have between our legs, will only heighten our senses in all of our pursuits. However, what about your sheath, once it had enjoyed enveloping and owning its sword, how will it deal with those gaps when it is not holstered?"

"I imagine my lord that I shall have to use the void of your sword as inspiration to get my tasks done as quickly and efficiently as possible to have it filled once again. For even when I cannot touch you I ache to do so."

"Well my Lady, if you want me to catch you, you will need to slow down a bit, for now man nor beast will catch you with such as start!" she giggled and smiled at him. "But you are no ordinary man mi lord, in fact I think thee may be a Demi-god like your Thor."

He was breathing hard, but got serious. "My Lady, what are your people's feelings for the new king, are they loyal or do they understand his tactics and the cruelty and selfishness that will guide his rule?"


They were still in mourning for their King, and then with the events of yesterday. I don't think they have had the time to really process the great risk the country is at. Perhaps we should do a town meeting tomorrow so we may relay our concerns and address any they, our people and yours, may have."

"I need to go, my men await, thank you for letting my join you, once again we were a fine team...I look forward to the mingle, shall we have a small dinner beforehand or will you be consumed guiding the preparation?"

"you will find mi lord that I am a very diligent task manager. I will have the preparations in order by two hours after the sun has hit the middle of the sky. I intend to then have lunch, get some fittings with the seamstress and have a rest before all of this evenings events." She gave him a smirk of anticipation for what they would do after the mingle. "If other preparations need to be made, perhaps mi lord would want to attempt those prior to my dressing for the evenings mingle. I should see to that list of things to do now. I look forward to being prepared."

When they were done with the conversation of preparing her ass for his massive cock as well as the tasks for the mingles that needed to be completed they rode into town together and put the horses in the stable.With a public curtsy and knowing glance and some double en-tundras they went their separate ways.

Anne made her list of tasks to address: food, decoration, lighting, seating, and musicians and went about the town finding the parties needed to entrust the tasks too. As this town had run like a well oiled machine most were already on their tasks knowing their responsibilities to the town, and enjoying the bonus that she would give them if they exceeded her expectations.

As she was talking with the butcher movement out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. Her hand immediately went to the hilt of her sword ready to draw if needed.

"Lady Anne" one of Lord Vance's men bowed to her. She did not curtsy or offer her hand as his presence was not welcome. "Mi Lord wishes to have the presence of your company for negotiations of marriage as now your father is dead and you require his protection."

Anne took a deep breath trying to remain diplomatic and not allow her temper to be released. She also noticed a couple of Eriks men standing with their hands on the hilt of their swords as it was obvious of her discomfort with being addressed by this man.

"Your Lord is very presumptuous to think that I would be in need of his help for anything. You will tell your Lord that I shall never be his wife. He will never be lord of MYvillage. You will tell him his banishment and that of his men is still in effect."

"Are those heathens?" he asked pretty much ignoring the message although he would deliver it word for word and anything he observed.

He'd noticed Eriks men. She wondered if her husband had them guarding her out of sincere concern. Or if they had just happened to be there. She smiled at the thought of him being protective.

"As we are forward thinking we have increased our towns members significantly with various, dedicated loyal folk. As you can see I am without need of protection or without tasks that require my attention. You are most invited to leave, and not return. I really wouldn't say another word."

The messengers stance puffed up as if to intimate her as he stepped a foot closer and towered over her. "Look wench, you will be wed by Lord Vance, and he's a giving type of man that doesn't mind sharing his toys. We will all be, very very grateful." He was even brazen enough to put his finger under her chin and force her to look at him in the eyes as his lust and evilness poured through his eyes.

For a moment she was visibly shaken by the invasion of her space. Then she was mad. Her knee came up swiftly to his leather cod piece and driving it back hard into his tender flesh. Her sword was drawn and now against his throat as he writhed on the ground in pain as he gripped his groin. "You'll pay for this bitch" Eriks men were right there and knocked him hard on the head with the hilt of his sword and knocked the man unconscious.

"Please put him on his horse, and secure him. Place a sign around his neck that says Denied and Banished and send the horse on its way. It will make its way to the destination. When the men left her to do their task. The altercations effect hit her. She was unnerved and angry. Her mind was on fire as the angry words stirred in her brain. She couldn't focus or function, she was in need of being grounded.

The smile that had been always so brilliant upon her face was removed. Her interaction with her people was short and to the point. All she wanted was to be home and to curl up in a ball.

She needed Eriks arms. She wanted to feel his weight on top of her. She needed to feel that safety and divine pleasure that only he could provide as he possessed her mind body and soul. When she made it home her staff noticed her demure and became concerned.

"Please let Lord Erik know that I am resting when he gets here. I am quite sure he'll want to rest as well before tonight's events. While we're resting I want no staff on the second or third floor, we are not to be disturbed." "Yes Mi Lady, the servant girl replied and quickly spread the word among the staff. She knew by now Erik would have heard about the encounter she had and would soon be here to check in on her.

She went up to her room and locked the door. Taking off her clothes she stripped down to nothing and placed her thick robe on and tied it off. Opening the door to his room she crawled into his bed grabbing his pillow and curled up. His scent slightly remained.
 
They had enjoyed a spectacular morning. She had made it clear that her longing was every bit as intense as his. "I imagine my lord that I shall have to use the void of your sword as inspiration to get my tasks done as quickly and efficiently as possible to have it filled once again. For even when I cannot touch you I ache to do so." He touched her cheek, "But we are lucky to feel that ache, I feel it too. However, others never feel it, and it is that ache that let's us know we have found our soul mate, and that ache is the almighty's way of making sure we never take our love or passion for granted."

Before they parted, he asked if her people knew the new boy king? Unfortunately, he was nothing like his father, a man whom Erik held in the highest esteem. The son, in turn, was petty, cruel, self centered, and Erik was confident would lead England into nothing but increased peril while dispensing nearly constant misery to its citizenry. "They were still in mourning for their King, and then with the events of yesterday. I don't think they have had the time to really process the great risk the country is at. Perhaps we should do a town meeting tomorrow so we may relay our concerns and address any they, our people and yours, may have."

Erik nodded solemnly, "I too still mourn his loss, if not a second father, he was an uncle to me, and when I was there treated me with the respect and pride of a son. He even confided in his disappointment in his own lineage and how he felt I was the son he should have had. He was a wise ruler, and England will very soon realize the enormity of his loss, when they see the true colors of his inadequate replacement....Yes, I think a town meeting tomorrow is important I want it it a setting where people can freely share their views with no fear of reprisal."

He prepared to part, offering they might share a small meal, if she had time, prior to the mingle. He should have known his capable lady was two steps ahead and with a far more interesting proposal. "you will find mi lord that I am a very diligent task manager. I will have the preparations in order by two hours after the sun has hit the middle of the sky. I intend to then have lunch, get some fittings with the seamstress and have a rest before all of this evenings events." She gave him a smirk of anticipation for what they would do after the mingle. "If other preparations need to be made, perhaps mi lord would want to attempt those prior to my dressing for the evenings mingle. I should see to that list of things to do now. I look forward to being prepared."

He enjoyed her hint, "Yes, yes, some preparation may well be in order, and perhaps my lady might enjoy a bit of stretching to put her spirits in an amorous state even prior to the mingle." He winked and looked forward to their getting back together, even earlier than he had originally hoped. With that, just in case others were watching, he took her hand and bowed kissing her gloved knuckle, before bidding adieu and going to find his men.

Once he found them, he grabbed three young soldiers, two infantry and a fine rider. "While I do not believe there is likely to be trouble this soon, one can never be too careful. Please go to the hall and watch for any sign of trouble, and most particularly, there should always be an eye on Lady Anne. If there is trouble..." He spoke directly to the able horseman, "...Peter, you come find me at the edge of town, I will be there beginning to train the new men in our styles and skills. Bjorn and Thorgren, you two aide Lady Anne however you feel necessary or she directs you. You will obey her commands just as you would mine, understand?" Erik trusted his men, and they would follow his orders to the letter, he was a strong and loved commander and his men were very well trained.

For the rest, he gathered his men who had recruited the men of the village to join them. "Men, today we begin our transition from us vs. them to we. You will learn to trust my command and skill, as I will never utter an order that does not have the safety and prosperity of this community as its singular objective...well, that and the safekeeping of our women and children. But we must learn to work and fight as one, and we do not have the luxury of time as I believe we could see aggressors very shortly."

He got the men in formation, mixing in his men with the town folk and farmers, his men would hel teach and in short order they were marching as one, more importantly they were getting to know each other, laughing and learning how to communicate, even a bit of each other's languages. He would speak with Lady Anne about that, as he hoped to make as many bilingual as possible, they were already fortunate that so many on both sides knew their letters and had some ability to read.

They had marched out to a large field at the edge of town, he was about to break them into small groups for swordsmanship instruction. He had already decided to spend today on skills instruction the first two hours with the sword, the second two with the bow on archery. He rightly assumed most of Anne's men had never been properly trained to fight, but they were sufficiently athletic and more importantly seemed eager to learn. He was just beginning to describe how to wield a sword, and the basics of balance and footwork, when Peter came galloping up, calling for Erik. "My Lord, Lord Vance's man is in town and bothering Lady Anne...."

He had to say no more, Erik turned to his top aide, "Trouble apparently comes sooner than I thought, you know how to proceed here, only do sword work, and I will instruct archery tomorrow." He grabbed a nearby horse and was off, but by the time he got back, Lady Anne had handled the situation in her own unique and impressive way. Bjorn spoke very complimentary and Erik had to smile at the thought of her knee crashing into the unexpecting visitors genitals. He turned to Peter. "Go find the man, and his horse, I expect the horse is taking a leisurely walk back home. When you find him, pin this note to him as well...

"Lord Vance,

This is Erik Olaffson, and I am now the betrothed of Lady Anne. You may not know of me, as to my knowledge we have never met, but ask any knight, who was loyal to King Alfred where I served in the King's court, and they will either know me or know of my reputation. We want no trouble with you, but you need only ask and you will learn that should you choose to battle with me and my men it will be a fight to the death, and if history is a predictor, that death will be yours. Be warned and I hope this is the last we feel the need to engage one another, as it relates to my betrothed. Consider your man lucky that we allow his return with this message.

Lord Erik Bjornsson"

Leaving at a sprint, he was at the home of Lady Anne in a second. Crashing through the door he saw Molly, "She is upstairs my lord, resting, I believe she would appreciate your audience." He climbed the stairs two and three at a time, he knocked at her door and heard no response. He went to his room and their she lay, curled up, and vulnerable. He let her watch him as he stripped down, and stood naked before her, and then he crawled int bed, and spooned her, leaning over and kissing her cheek as he held her. "I heard you were magnificent, I would have imagined no less, but are you okay my love, I am here, how can I help you?" And again his lips softly kissed her cheek as he pulled her even closer...
 
He let her watch him as he stripped down, and stood naked before her, and then he crawled int bed, and spooned her, leaning over and kissing her cheek as he held her. "I heard you were magnificent, I would have imagined no less, but are you okay my love, I am here, how can I help you?" And again his lips softly kissed her cheek as he pulled her even closer.

There was something to be said about the way Erik's touch had an effect on her. The noise in her head calmed. "the messenger" she said lightly "was quite happy to tell me of what my fate was to be if Lord Vance got his hands on me. He threatened that i will be broken, and passed around."

She turned over to face him "I didn't tell him about you, because I was afraid that he would gather more men and convince them that I was being forced to wed against my will. I'm like a shiny bobble that he feels he must possess. But It's you that I need to possess me."

She wasn't quite sure of what she was saying so tried more words to make sense of it. "When i got home the only thing i wanted was to feel the weight of your body pinning me down. I wanted that feeling of safety and security that belonging to you provides." She still wasn't quite sure what she was asking for, but hoped he did. She reached down and untied her robe and then moved her hand to his hairy muscled chest and stroked it lightly.
 
She naturally melted into his touch, he even felt a little wiggle. Yet there was something bothering her, something she needed to say, she was clearly troubled and spoke in little more than a whisper, "the messenger... was quite happy to tell me of what my fate was to be if Lord Vance got his hands on me. He threatened that i will be broken, and passed around." Erik was enraged, but he only held her tighter, letting her say what she needed. "I didn't tell him about you, because I was afraid that he would gather more men and convince them that I was being forced to wed against my will. I'm like a shiny bobble that he feels he must possess. But It's you that I need to possess me."

He did not speak yet, still, instead he slid one hand down and inside her robe, his strong hand moving between her thighs as she opened them slightly in response. He slid his hand over her mound and cupped it securely, not only taking possession of what she wanted only he to have, but also showing her purity was under his extremely capable protection, and would be guarded with his life.

She rolled slightly onto her back so that he now hovered over her from the side, with his hand now owning her virgin cunt she seemed more at ease, and the look she gazed up with told him as much as her words. "When i got home the only thing i wanted was to feel the weight of your body pinning me down. I wanted that feeling of safety and security that belonging to you provides." She slid her hand down and opened her robe, availing her body for him to satisfy her need. He felt her hand and nails on his chest, needing to feel the strength and love of her protector and soulmate.

Eric rolled on top, his cock and pelvis resting on her "Y", his weight on his elbows, so that he could lovingly gaze down on her. "I am here, and I promise you are and will be safe. My angel, the messenger had no idea of who he was dealing with...you or me. Although, there is not a more beautiful maiden in all these lands, you are not a bobble, and as the messenger now knows, are not a woman to be trifled with..." He smiled wanting her to feel a bit better.

"I have made sure Lord Vance knows that you belong to me, and I fully expect him to attack, and I want him to. We will be ready, and we will defeat him resolutely, and we will send a message, to any others who are so foolish." He leaned down and nuzzled her, and then gave a soft kiss, then a second, pressing himself into her wiggling as his manhood grew hard pressed against her.

"I am the only one who will ever possess you, I promise you that, you are mine and I am yours and we are forever...." He looked into her eyes, "I know what you want, what you need, and I do too but we must not taint your purity. However, I have an idea....You and I need to become one, I can enter you, as long as I don't press too far, if I just press in the tip, my ridge will pleasure you, as your hold and the tightness of your entrance will me...I will spill my seed at your entrance, and my head will bring you relief and the bond we both need."

He smiled "And tonight when we mingle, your flower will have her man's seed guarding her. But you must follow my lead, it would be far to easy to push further, and we mustn't, would you like to try my love?" In only a small movement, his now rigid head found her sweet opening, and rising himself in a plank position, he pressed his into her opening, the head pressing just inside his ridge rubbing her clit, and then back out....in...out...it was a most careful dance, but a most thrilling and arousng one as well!
 
"I am here, and I promise you are and will be safe. My angel, the messenger had no idea of who he was dealing with...you or me. Although, there is not a more beautiful maiden in all these lands, you are not a bobble, and as the messenger now knows, are not a woman to be trifled with..." He smiled wanting her to feel a bit better.

There was something in which the tone that he spoke to her soothed her mind. The way that he cupped her cunt showing it was his was read through the lines without words. She loved how he believed in her ability to do what needed to be done without needing the coddling of a man to do it. Yet how he was there as her back up ready to leap forward as her ferocious lion. "Thank you" she said in almost a whisper.

"I have made sure Lord Vance knows that you belong to me, and I fully expect him to attack, and I want him to. We will be ready, and we will defeat him resolutely, and we will send a message, to any others who are so foolish." She didn't like the idea of battle, she just wanted to live in her little town with Erick and enjoyed the simple tribulations of intertwining their two cultures. At least until the war against the King was inevitable.
She knew Erick was right though, Vance would retaliate. She hoped that his optimism about the outcome would be as favorable as he anticipated.
She nodded in response to his statement and gave a soft smile.
The fact that he grew hard hadn't escaped her notice. But this didn't cause her any worry that he was so close to her vagina. She trusted him and in their love and ideas for the future.

"I am the only one who will ever possess you, I promise you that, you are mine and I am yours and we are forever...." He looked into her eyes, "I know what you want, what you need, and I do too but we must not taint your purity. However, I have an idea....You and I need to become one, I can enter you, as long as I don't press too far, if I just press in the tip, my ridge will pleasure you, as your hold and the tightness of your entrance will me...I will spill my seed at your entrance, and my head will bring you relief and the bond we both need."

Oh how she loved the idea of him possessing her, and the idea of being his and him hers forever. Oh how easy it would be to just let him take her maiden hood. But it would ruin everything they were fighting to build. She had the trust in him to stop before he broke her maiden hood...but could she trust herself? "I trust you" she said softly as she stared into his eyes.

He smiled "And tonight when we mingle, your flower will have her man's seed guarding her. But you must follow my lead, it would be far to easy to push further, and we mustn't, would you like to try my love?" "yes" she replied in almost a wanton rasp. In only a small movement, his now rigid head found her sweet opening, and rising himself in a plank position, he pressed his into her opening, the head pressing just inside his ridge rubbing her clit, and then back out....in...out.

Her eyes never left his as her legs opened wider and toes and fingers dug into the sheets. His fingers had given her tight cunt a little leeway, but the thickness of his member did stretch her. It took her a moment or two to adjust to the width of his member slowly pushing its way in a bit. Just enough to give them both pleasure. The moment was overwhelming to finally be able to be one with him, even if it wasn't fully, it was still enough to have a tear drop from her eye. She was his and would be full of his seed for the first time. A soft purring and moan came from her lips as he worked the tip of his cock slowly and carefully.

Oh how she wanted to push more of him into her, she needed and wanted to be fully impaled upon his sword. Her mouth slightly opened and head tilted back as he moved just the tip back and forth in her tight little opening. With the ridge of his cock working the underside of her clit her orgasm was building quickly. It took every ounce of control she had not to buck wildly in fear of pushing him in all the way, but she came hard and cried out in bliss.
 
Lord Erik had made sure she knew he both had confidence in her and that he would protect her. She had waited and wanted his touch only to make her feel better, grounded, and then she had opened and availed herself to the only man she ever had or would want, and it was his solemn oath, that he would never let another man take her against her will.

He worshipped her, and her beautiful body, her maidenhood, she inspired and aroused him in ways he had only dreamed of prior. He also knew, that she would have a hard time refusing if he truly wanted her purity at that moment. Oh how he did, how he wanted to share that ultimate intimacy, but he loved her too much, and wanted too much of their lives to be so short sighted now.

Instead he had quite cleverly given them an almost, the ability to enjoy the first bit of entry, the grinding of their most sensitive parts, and the ability to share his seed. While not in her womb, with the ability to create the first of their hopefully many children, but still in the soft, wet lips of her tender cunt, and to wear him their as they enjoyed the mixer.

Showing a remarkable combination of strength and restraint, he positioned his muscular legs between her beautiful spread ones, his muscular chest hoverd over her, his pelvis lightly brushed hers, and his sex seeked hers like a missile with a homing device that knows exactly his intended purpose and destination. His strong arms kept his body aloft so she could look at her man, and then he leaned down and began the first of so many both tender and passionate kisses.

With each kiss she spread wider and soon his cock slid up and down her warm, wet lips and nectar glazed opening. Finally he groaned, as did she, as his head found her opening and began to press inside her welcoming slit. He had been born a man, given this magnificent cock for this purpose, this woman, this cunt! “Let me control it, I will respond to your body, but I will not take what it is not yet mine to take.” Her vagina opened and stretched to take him, he was big, but she captured and caught and would not let go. “I love you so much Anne, I am yours, all of my is yours, forever and ever!”

She was the lock and he was the only key, they fit together as if made for each other, physical perfection and the stimulation as he began to rock back and forth, oh so careful, but oh so good! It was as overwhelming as it was intimate and itself, and although not completely, he was the first man inside her, and nothing could have been a greater gift! He began to rock, his sensitive ridge, her swollen and needy clit. Quickly he moved, so assured yet so controlled, while every nerve in is body felt ecstacy.

In, out, in, out, in, out…the sensations were amazing, but the emotions so intense they would not last long, and as soon as he felt her tense, her body gasp, he did as well…her sweet little cunny, gripping, milking and finally drinking as he emptied his seed, over and over into her opening. “Oh my lady, that was incredible!” he said as he leaned down, still so carefully, and kissed her. “Soon my love, there will be no rules, and then we can enjoy each other completely, but this…you were incredible!”

He rolled off her and held her, “I know you do not want to fight, but when you value something you must be willing to fight for it, and never have I valued anything like I do you…and our people. I only ask that you trust me…tonight is important for settling our joint community, creating families…for family gives a man and woman purpose and if our people share that joint purpose they can not be defeated.” He held her and gently stroked his lover until they both fell asleep only to awake a bit over an hour later, and began to get ready for the evening’s festivities.
 
"Let me control it, I will respond to your body, but I will not take what it is not yet mine to take.” Anne wanted to tell him it was his to take at his whim, but she knew as well as he that their futures depend on her passing the purity test.

“I love you so much Anne, I am yours, all of my is yours, forever and ever!” She smiled as the joyful tears fell from her eyes "And I am and all of my is yours as well. Forever Erick, I choose you. No matter what, I will always choose you."

With their juices now mingled and he lay upon her, Erick said “Oh my lady, that was incredible!” he kissed her. “Soon my love, there will be no rules, and then we can enjoy each other completely, but this…you were incredible!” "That was quite difficult. I had to fight my bodies desire to pull you into me. The tip teased and taunted me with what glory was to come. Yet still it was so perfect and so what i needed my love. So thank you for knowing me better than I know myself."

Once he rolled off and they laid in each others arms he said “I know you do not want to fight, but when you value something you must be willing to fight for it, and never have I valued anything like I do you…and our people. I only ask that you trust me…tonight is important for settling our joint community, creating families…for family gives a man and woman purpose and if our people share that joint purpose they can not be defeated.”

"I accepted you for the warrior you are when I agreed to marry you. But you need to know that I saw the greatness that you hold within you. I watched carefully how you articulate your words with the people, how you subtly demand respect and they give it without realizing it. They too see someone that is born to be a King. What i'm saying isn't out of any self desire but out of the desire for the people and even the people that don't know you yet. Erick, you could lead this country into a greatness that could change things for the better. I believe you were led here to be King."
 
They had just come the closest yet to actually making love, and they had already discussed that later tonight would be the first time he fully penetrated her. Of course it would have to be her ass, as her pussy must stay pure until they were married next week. Yet, even partially inside, he had felt her grip, her love and her passion and it had taken everything they both had not to fully consummate their relationship.

He had held her, lovingly, enjoying and being honored that it was in his arms she felt safest. He explained the necessity of defending against the Lord, and winning convincingly. She listened and then it was her turn to speak. "I accepted you for the warrior you are when I agreed to marry you. But you need to know that I saw the greatness that you hold within you. I watched carefully how you articulate your words with the people, how you subtly demand respect and they give it without realizing it. They too see someone that is born to be a King. What i'm saying isn't out of any self desire but out of the desire for the people and even the people that don't know you yet. Erick, you could lead this country into a greatness that could change things for the better. I believe you were led here to be King."

He smiled. "Oh your words do flatter me. But I am a foreigner, a Viking no less, do you really believe that some clever words or showing of military skills and valor could rule the day? I will be honest with you, in way I have never told another. I do believe I was born to lead, it is a skill that comes to me as easily as breathing, but never until now, until this very second did I dare believe that I could pursue such a position. Not even when the King himself treated me as a son, a son, as he said he had dreamed of but never been given."

He thought a bit more, held her. "Perhaps...with you as my mate, my partner, my moral compass, such things are possible. I do not really know, and for now I don't think our time is well served considering, but I will not rule it out. For now with you, more than ever, I believe my life has no limits." He looked into his eyes, "For never is a man more fortunate than when he has found true love...and a woman who makes him so much more than he could have ever been alone."

It was time to get ready for the mingling, he turned over and gave her one more passionate kiss. "I like the fact you will be wearing me, that I have filled one hole and can look forward to later enjoying the other...your body is my fantasy, and loving you my destiny!"
 
"Perhaps you are a foreigner today, but in a week you shall be a Lord of England, owner of lands, and a leader of the first intermingled self sustaining town." He thought a bit more, held her. "Perhaps...with you as my mate, my partner, my moral compass, such things are possible. I do not really know, and for now I don't think our time is well served considering, but I will not rule it out. For now with you, more than ever, I believe my life has no limits." He looked into his eyes,

"For never is a man more fortunate than when he has found true love...and a woman who makes him so much more than he could have ever been alone."
She blushed and smiled "You give me too much credit my husband, for I'm quite sure you would have come to this on your own." she laughed a little and placed kisses lightly upon his chest.

"I like the fact you will be wearing me, that I have filled one hole and can look forward to later enjoying the other...your body is my fantasy, and loving you my destiny!" "Never have more kingly words been spoken" she said half serious blushing as he flattered her deeply. "Let us agree we are each others destiny, for never have I or could I love a another man as I do you."
She kissed him again before sliding from his bed. Her pussy was tender from the little stretching the tip of his manhood had caused. Making her way into her adjoining room she got dressed for the Mingle. Joining Erick outside their rooms they walked down the stairs and out and over to the hall.

"Do you have men posted for trouble?" she questioned softly as she saw most of the town was gathered. It worried her that so many were here, it would be the perfect place to be ambushed if Lord Vance took it upon himself to do so.
 
"Perhaps you are a foreigner today, but in a week you shall be a Lord of England, owner of lands, and a leader of the first intermingled self sustaining town." He had let those words linger in his head a bit as they talked on. This actually did feel like home, as similarly he had enjoyed his time in the King's court. He had seen the great man's disappointment in his own son, and he even wondered, if the deceased King might not want this on some level? Of course this was folly, but he had clearly liked Erick and had treated him very much as a son.

"I must admit, it intrigues me, I always was told by my father I had a greater destiny, I would like to believe I would be a just and benevolent king, but never until now had I even considered the possibility." Yet he knew, it was the idea of doing it with Lady Anne at his side that made it feel possible. "You give me too much credit my husband, for I'm quite sure you would have come to this on your own." He loved her gentle kisses, and he ran his fingers through her hair and down her back. "No my Lady, I do not...for now I have something to truly live for."

They dressed and when they met at the top of the stair, he smiled. "I guess from now on I will be the envy of every man, as I will always have the most beautiful lady on my arm." They walked down the street and across the town center into the hall. "My Lady, let me take leave and make sure the sentry's are all set, you can figure out how you would like us to arrange everyone to announce the pairings. I can only hope some of them find at least some of the happiness we have found."

A kiss of her hand and he was off, he was quickly met by one of his most senior officers. "Sir, we found a second of Lord Vance's men. We turned him away, but as you said, we told him, the next person who comes here unwanted will not be sent back alive. While I believe that buys us the evening, you and I know it will not be long until they test our mettle."

Lord Erick nodded. "I am hoping we have tonight, but from now on we will have two layers of sentry's up until I say otherwise, we will not be attacked by surprise, have you moved the archers to the high ground?" The officer nodded. "Yes, they are camping there, thirty in all, should someone come in we are prepared to rain arrows down upon their advance...." He began looking around, "...speaking of advance, I trust my Lord, you and the Lady have arranged a most appealing pairing for your loyal hand?" Erick only laughed, "I believe you will be pleased my old friend...although I can't promise you will be as pleased as I am!"
 
Anne found herself restless when Erick left her to go check on the towns security. Even after their interlude, she found she felt her true self when he was by her side. It was hard to believe that only after a couple of days they were so entwined with each other.

She watched him go until she could see him no more, and then entered the hall. Everyone was mingling and chatting among each other. Stepping up on a box she called for every ones attention.

"We're so happy that so many of you have joined us this evening. Lord Erick will be joining us shortly. In the mean time continue to talk, dance, drink and eat. When Lord Erick arrives we'll have the ladies go to the left, and the Gentleman to the right. She used her hands to point in both directions for those that were unsure of their lefts from rights.

When Erick and his man entered she found herself able to breath easy once again. A smile crossed her lips as their eyes met. When he joined her the crowd separated with girls on one side and men on the other.

"Ok lets get started" She called the girls name, and let Erick call the guys name. She gave their reasoning for the pairing and Erick repeated it in his native language if the viking didn't understand English. Though there was some language barriers they seemed to have a lot of smiling faces around the room. The music started up again after all the matches were completed and the nights festivities were in full swing.

"Well my Lord, I think we may have some victorious matches, what do you think?"
