Because She Loved Him

Restitution

Bjorn manoeuvred himself carefully out from under Agnetha and stood. He stretched and watched Benny do the same. He smirked and teased Benny "Are you sure you don't want me to help you? You're not as fit as you were" Benny glared at him and said " I'm perfectly able to manage thank you. Just because we don't all carry our wives wrapped around us half the day doesn't mean I can't do it!" He huffed and said " you just sort your own wife out and leave me to mine!!" Bjorn touched Benny on the arm and said gently "mate, I'm only teasing, I made Anna a promise a little while ago that I would always be able to carry her, even when we are old and grey, it's a thing with her. Always has been. Got to keep doing it or I might not be able to one day" he smiled and shook his head resignedly "not that I mind in the slightest"
He bent down and slid his arms around Anna and lifted her gently, she didn't stir. He jiggled her a little as he positioned her so he could get up the stairs safely. "Ok, got you" he whispered. He gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead. Benny watched him for a moment and said " look at you, you adore that woman and yet you say you are unhappy and bored? Bjorn, you need to settle your arse down. You've got your world in your arms. Don't do anything to fuck it up" it was Bjorn's turn to glare now and he hissed " not NOW Benny" he checked to see if Anna was awake. She definitely was not and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Bjorn waited while Benny hoisted Frida into his arms, it certainly was not done quite so gently and Frida woke up. Bjorn had to snigger and said " I told you, it takes practice" Benny grunted and Frida asked drowsily " practice what?" " Never mind" said Benny. " I can get down if you like" offered Frida. " No! Just stay where you are. I'm fine." Frida made it easier and held on tight. "My hero" she swooned and gave him a kiss. They went up the stairs and to their respective rooms. Anna did not stir. Bjorn settled her in bed and went to check on the children who he was relieved to see were absolutely fast asleep. He returned to the bedroom and got himself undressed, he got into bed and Anna cuddled herself up to him in her sleep. He arranged them both so they were comfortable then closed his eyes. His mind drifted over the events of the day. He thought of what Benny had said.
His eyes snapped wide open when he remembered Lena. In all the drama he had forgotten the kiss.
He frowned in the darkness as he puzzled over why Lena had approached him like that. He hadn't kissed anyone else since he'd met Agnetha and he felt guilty, even though he hadn't been the one to make the first move. His brain whirled as he realised that he felt guilty because he could not deny that he was intrigued and wanted to know more.
At some point he must have slept because he was jarred rudely awake by Agnetha screaming. He shot bolt upright in bed, his heart pounding and fumbled for the bedside light, he turned it on and he could see that Anna was fast asleep with tears pouring down her face. She was clearly terribly distressed, she was kicking the covers off and her arms were hitting out. He gathered her up and secured her arms against him. "Hush my Anna, hush darling, it's just a dream. You're safe. I won't ever let anything happen to you. You're ok." He whispered it over and over, stroking her face. He wrapped her up tight in his arms. "Come on Anna wake up, you're safe. You're with me, it's just a dream" he felt her relax and she opened her eyes. There were tears still in her eyes and he held her until the storm passed. "Bjorn, it was terrible" she hiccupped through her tears. She couldn't breathe properly and he was having a hard time understanding her. " Hush my Anna, it's over now. It's all gone" he soothed " but what if they come back??" She cried. "Who?" asked Bjorn. Agnetha took a deep breath and said " I dreamt someone slashed my tyres again and I had the kids in the car. I dreamt you were on the side of the road and I couldn't stop the car and I hit you and....."it all tumbled out of her in a rush. Bjorn kissed her gently and his heart broke a little bit for her. "Anna, it's just a dream, we will make sure nothing like that ever happens again, we will find a way" Anna sighed and took comfort in what Bjorn said. She trusted him totally. She lay back down and curled into his chest. Bjorn settled back down and ran his fingers up and down her spine. It must have really rattled her he reflected. She hadn't had a nightmare like that since just after Linda was born. She used to have them nearly every night but Bjorn had become adept at managing them and easing her mind and they had become less and less until finally they had stopped. Until now. He shut his eyes now that Anna was sleeping peacefully.
He woke with the alarm, feeling like he had not slept at all. He rubbed a hand down the side of his face and yawned. He turned his head to check on Anna, she was still fast asleep holding tightly his hand. He tried to sit up but it was rather difficult with one hand so he turned more onto his side and brushed Agnetha's hair out of her face with his free hand. A gentle awakening was best after her nightmare. He knew this from experience. He kissed her lips gently, she stirred and grumbled at him. He smiled. He had never known anyone that could sleep like Anna. He kissed her more forcefully and then suddenly he had contact with ice crystal eyes that twinkled at him, she reached out to kiss him and said " I'm sorry about last night. I missed dessert and I woke you. " Bjorn smiled and said " it's not your fault, it's fine but seeing as we missed dessert how about breakfast?" Agnetha smiled and asked " are the kids awake?" Bjorn shook his head no. In answer Agnetha wriggled out of last night's clothes and straddled Bjorn. His eyebrows shot up and he waited eagerly to see what she would do. It was a rare treat when she took the lead and he couldn't wait. She leant over him and kissed him, her hair falling in a curtain around their faces. Man he loved her hair, he thought as he drowned in her kiss.He ran his fingers through it, it had got longer recently he mused happily, the longer the better was his opinion. She had cut it a bit when she was pregnant with Christian because it was easier to look after. He was bought back to earth with a bang as Anna moved slowly down his chest and licked his nipple then proceeded to suck on it gently. Suddenly he went from gently turned on to rock hard and raging. He went to move her under him and she clamped her legs tight. Refusing him. She slid further down him kissing him all the way, using her fingernails to trace patterns that made him shiver. His eyes closed involuntarily as he felt every single sensation magnify as she teased her way closer to where he really needed her to be. His eyes snapped open though when he felt her hot breath envelop his penis. He watched as her lips closed around the tip, she gave him eye contact and he thought right then that this image would be indelibly tattooed in his mind and on his eyelids every time he closed them until the day he died.
If it was possible for him to swell and harden even more then he was sure he did as Agnetha worked her magic on him. She was loving it as much as him judging by the satisfied sounds she was making. She was not gentle with him, she knew what he loved "fuck!" He cursed as she took him all the way into her mouth. He knew he couldn't hold on for much longer if she kept that up. His control was exhausted when she took hold of his balls and squeezed gently while deep throating him. "Anna, for god's sake please have some mercy" was dragged out of him. He never begged. Ever. Yet here he was. He shifted back lifting them both a little, then he seized Anna by her arms and lifted her up his body so she was touching every inch of him. He kissed her deeply and held her head still by winding his fingers tightly in her hair. She moaned into him and he felt dampness on his thighs. He slid a hand down between their bodies and stroked between her legs. His eyes closed for a second in total delight as he found Anna utterly drenched and swollen. He kissed her neck and sucked gently and felt her contract around his fingers as she became wetter than ever. "Is this for me??"he growled in her ear, making her squirm, "Always!" she breathed.
He shifted so that his knee parted her legs more, he moved his fingers gently and she moaned. He pressed his thumb to that little bundle of nerves and suddenly she was the one begging. "Oh Bjorn please" over and over. He took pity on her and the movements of his hand sped up, touching her in the way that only he could. He whispered in her ear. "Quiet!! Come for me Anna" and that was all it took. She buried her face in his shoulder to muffle her screaming. He gave her no time to recover and rolled her underneath him. He urged her legs round his waist and took her. She was still contracting from her first orgasm and Bjorn delighted in the feeling that it gave him. She moaned and there was sweat pouring off both of them "oh god Bjorn! You're killing me ...please I need you" she lifted her legs higher and locked them tight around him. She pulled him in and that right there was his end. He came undone in her arms. He gave her everything of him. They exploded together, Bjorn with a hand gently over her mouth to muffle the sounds of her completion. He buried his head in her neck and tried to keep his own silence.
Bjorn became aware of the time, thank god they weren't late yet. He did wonder why the kids hadn't awoken. He kissed Agnetha and said" we have to move darling" "I know" she replied "Benny and Frida stayed over last night, we had all had far too much to drink and it seemed silly to call a taxi as we are together today anyway" Agnetha smiled and said "last night was lovely, we need to do it more often" she got up and put her robe on, she left the room to go and check on the kids. Bjorn heard her say " shit!!" and then he heard her running down the stairs. He threw just his jeans on and went running after her. He skidded into the kitchen on bare feet and saw Agnetha looking all kinds of relieved. "What's wrong? " he demanded. He looked around the kitchen and saw that Benny and Frida had made breakfast and wonder of wonders the kids were up and dressed. Frida had even made a bottle for Christian. Agnetha smiled and said " I couldn't find the kids, but look at what amazing friends we have" she had tears in her eyes and she went to hug Frida tightly. "Thank you Frida, this is amazing" Frida smiled and hugged her back. "Anna, it's what friends are for. We heard your nightmare darling and we thought you could do with the rest" she winked. "Besides, Benny helped just as much" Anna sniffled and made her way to Benny. She gave him a massive hug, full of gratitude and kissed the top of his head. "Thank you so much" Benny batted her away affectionately" I was hungry" he said " I wanted breakfast and so did these little monsters" he winked at her and said. " You could starve in this place waiting for breakfast."he smiled. "Come on you two, I'm starving and we have a lot to do today" Bjorn hugged Frida thankfully and shook Benny's hand. He and Agnetha rushed back upstairs to wash and dress as they had worked up an appetite too. They clattered back downstairs again and enjoyed a beautiful breakfast with the people they loved most.
Bjorn would later look back on that breakfast and mourn those times, knowing that after that morning, though they didn't know it then, everything changed.
Forever.
