Zenobia's Tale [Undergoing rewrite]

Part 11

"Love tell me what is wrong? If it was my rash thoughts I do hope you forgive-" Sven's lips suddenly met his own and he nearly melted into the man. Sven's arms wrapped around Normans neck as he wrapped his own around his lover's waist and pulled him closer. Sven was shaking making Norman only worry more.

"I-I am fine, love. I j-just" Sven fell silent and laid his head on his lover's shoulder before closing his eyes. Norman lifted Sven into his arms and carried him into his bedroom to lay him on the bed.

"I am sorry my love, I did not mean to upset you." He trailed a finger down the man's chest as he laid next to him. "I only wish to remain in our state of peace. I dread the idea of losing you, you wonderfully muscled man and if we had to fight because the girl can not control herself. Well, you never hesitate to fight. Immortality has made you feel too safe in battle." He whispered in his ear. Sven shivered and rolled over onto the male with a mischievous smile.

"Normy...Stop talking and kiss me before I do horrible things to you. I truly am fine." He lowered his head towards Norman and claimed his lips one more time determined to make the man forget about the tears he had shed in the closet. Norman kissed back unable to fight his needs anymore, wrapping his arms around the man's shoulders he gripped the soft cloth of Sven's white shirt and yanked it off ripping it as he did so. Sven moaned and nipped Normans lip gently as he ripped the males shirt off and pulled him up so he was straddling the man's lap. Both hearts pounded faster as they grew closer. Sven could feel Normans groin grow harder against his own. They both let out a soft moan as Norman grabbed Sven's buttocks. Leaning down to claim his lovers lips once more, Sven ran his hands through Normans thick wavy hair taking it out of the leather thong it was pulled back in. His own hair had fallen loose in the closet when he had cried. His black hair mixed with his lovers light brown waves making them both smile. "Norman, I forgive you. Always will." He stated in a whisper then jumped hearing a slight knock. Norman looked around Sven and turned a deep shade of red making Sven smile and peek over his shoulder only to see Zenobia wrapped in a towel shivering.

"I think we need to warm her up," Norman whispered and shifted slightly to relieve a pressure within his trousers.

The movement caused Sven to stiffen and bite his lower lip looking at Norman with a hunger in his eyes Zenobia did not understand. She simply stood looking at the two men in such an odd position and tilted her head.

"What are you doing?" She asked softly huddling into the towel. Her skin had taken on a bluish tint during her cold bath. She stood clean without a drop of blood in sight. Sven moved from Normans lap with a slight groan and stood up moving towards Zenobia slowly with a small smile.

"Let's get you dressed and into bed." He said softly lifting her up into his arms. "Then you need to sleep, you have been a bad girl staying up during the day with us," he teased lightly and poked her nose causing her to giggle. They moved to her room Norman following moments later. When Zenobia was dried, dressed and in bed she looked at them both and smiled.

"Sven? Norman?" She spoke suddenly causing them to both stop their treck from the room and face her.

"Yes, child?" Norman asked softly.

"Are you in love?" She asked innocently. She never understood the feeling. She knew love for a family but never understood what it was like to love another as if they were part of her. Both men smiled as Norman moved back to the side of her bed sitting on the edge.

"Yes, Zenobia. We are." He admitted.

"Why do you hide it?" She asked slightly confused. "If you love him shouldn't you show it?"

"No, we would love to but you need to understand that no one wishes to see two men as we wish to be. It is not natural and believed to be a sin." Sven explained moving to wrap his arms around Norman. "Our love gets to remain secret and no one but those we are closest to get to know about it."
