Viking With A Heart

Chapter 15

Asher's POV

I noticed her face brighten in color when she noticed I was no longer wearing anything. But then she got under the pelt and rolled way from me. Did she not like what she saw? Does she not want me? I had so many thoughts run through my head. I got onto the bed and she rolled over and faced me. Her beauty makes me smile, I had no idea one could smile so much. She just stays frowning and huffs at me. I bring my hand up and brush my thumb across her cheek and she turns a pale pink. I run my hand from her face down her side til it rests on what feels like her hip and pull her closer to me. It is then she goes from pale pink back to red. I want to see that color spread all over her.

I want to feel her skin against mine and it upsets me that I still don't know what she is thinking or feeling. I move my hand up to her shoulder were a thin piece of cloth holding the dress up. I start to pull it down looking into her eyes. She just wiggles around like she is trying to get away from me, so I wrap my leg over hers to keep her in place. I would love to just rip this dress off of her but I want her to want to be bare with me. I move in closer to her and rub my nose over her nose and cheek. She wiggles around more and all I can smell is her scent. She smells like something sweet like fruit  mixed with the smoke from the fire she was sitting at.

She brings her hands up to rest on my chest and I smile. Then she pushes at me like she is trying to get away. I don't like that so I move my arm back around her and hold her close. I place a kiss on her forehead and start to drift off to sleep with my love in my arms. I feel a happy content feeling wash over me. I am in the best mood when I fall asleep.

When I wake up she is still in my arms and we have clearly set sail due to the rock of the ship and the wind I can hear above us. I realize I need to get above deck to help out up there but I dont want to leave my future bride. But I reluctantly pull myself from the bed and get dressed then I pull out a heavier pelt tunic for her to wear in the weather. If she so decided to come up above deck I want her to be warm.

After I have gotten dressed I look over at her and cant help but make my way back towards her sleeping form. Then I lean in and kiss her forehead. I pull away some and look down at her slightly parted lips and kiss them lightly, when her lips slightly close to press against mine its like she wants to kiss me in her sleep. With that I peck her nose one last time then leave through my door. When I get up on the deck I am waved at and called over by my father. This is going to be a long day and all I want is to get back to her already.
