the sudden of Lagertha close to him was surprised but not
at all unwelcome. especially when s o f t lips pressed against
his own all of the sudden — and in public as well. he did not
fight against her conquest of his mouth, giving in easy and
pressing his hands against her waist to tug her close, devouring
her just as she did him.
he pulls away with a tug of his teeth on her bottom lip. addicted
to her touch and uncaring of any who saw their affection.
” Not that i’m complaining at all — but we are in public.”
such an expression caused warmth to penetrate the
very marrow of her bones despite the chill in the breeze
which rustled through flaxen locks. although his loyalty
had once wavered from her former husband, in Rollo,
Lagertha found complete devotion, not once hearing
whispers of him straying since the moment affection
was shared between them.
a chuckle flowed from her lips as they brushed teasingly
over his own before quelling her amusement to speak,
all words meant in jest.
