Maddend Heart ~Ivar The Boneless~

Chapter 49// Promise

There's nothin' you could do or say
I can't escape the way I love you
I don't want to, but I love you

...

I'm woken up by Ivar frantically shaking me. I look at him utterly confused as I push him away from me sitting up.

"You weren't moving just mumbling some stuff, I thought you were dead!" he huffs out looking quite distressed.

"Well do you move while you're asleep?" I ask getting annoyed. I had slept so well that I wish I could've slept longer. And though I wish I could, I can't deny the fact that Ivars pure presence has a godly effect on me. I didn't even dream and for once I felt truly Rested.

"No I was just worried." he shrugs as his hands glide through his hair looking quite stressed.

"I didn't die as you can obviously see." I huff out moving the blanket from my legs.

I'm about to climb out the bed when his hand pulls on my leg, his thumb tracing the black lines that freshly came on my thigh.

"You got one?" he smiles down at it admirering the nordic style it's held in. It makes me fit in even more to everyone here though I'm sure not many people would ever see it. I just nod as it is quite obvious that I have one letting his fingers trace the outside of my thigh for a few more seconds before a knock appears on the door.

"Come in." I answer unsure who it is as Ivar moves his hand away from my skin.

Revnas face appears through the slit in the door and second later Cerberus runs thorugh the door jumping on the bed.

"I'm sorry my Queen he wouldn't stop howling because he missed you so much." she apologises but I just thank her as Cerberus lays himself all over me, suffacating me. Ivar eyes my dog with wary as his big teeth glisten at him.

"I told you he would become a big, dangerous and stinking dog." Ivar says laying down again but without success as Cerberus howls again.

"I'd rather have my sweet boy here beside me snoring and stinking than you." I mumble scratching Cerberus behind his ear.

"I heard that." Ivar says turning around to us again.

"So?" I ask raising a brow as Cerberus lays over the both of us, his head now resting on Ivars stomach who looks up to me with wide eyes.

"Scared of my puppy?" I ask leaning down to give the dog a gentle kiss on top of his head.

"No just scared of your happy mood." he confesses his hesitant hand coming to stop on top of Cerberuses head to stroke him gently.

"So you want to use me and then even tell me how to feel?" I ask standing up and streching a bit.

"I stopped the thoughts the second I began catching feelings for you. But I could tell you whatever you would want to hear and you still wouldn't believe me."

"Yeah how am I supposed to know believe you when I don't even know you? You only let me in the pretty things, like I'm a stranger you like to fuck." I shrug sitting down on the vanity looking into the mirror.
