When I Come Back

Patience

Hiccup

"So, do you want to tell me what's going on?" She asks, hand on hip.

I sigh, "I'm having trouble with the gang. I don't know what's going on, but they're questioning my every move."

"Well Snotlout and the twins always question everything. Don't take it personal."

I shake my head, "No, it wasn't just the twins and Snotlout. Fishlegs was disagreeing with every idea I had."

Her brows raise in surprise, " What ideas were you coming up with?"

I name as many as I could remember, going into as much detail as I could just in case I was out of hand.

"I don't understand, those are all good calls. It doesn't make sense why they weren't agreeing. "

"That's what I'm saying! It's like they're just trying to get on my nerves! Of course, they were all dead serious." I made sure the frustration in my voice was heard.

"They are most likely not used you leading them anymore. I mean, you were gone for five years. You can't just expect them to fall in line like nothing ever happened. You and I don't exactly lead the same way, you lead by what you feel is right, and I lead by the rules." She was right, I didn't like it, but she was.

I exhale, defeated, "What should I do?"

"You need to be patient with them. Don't get frustrated and instead be understanding. Both you and them have to adjust to these changes."

I grab her waist and pull her against me, "How'd I get so lucky?" I whisper.

   Her checks flush a rosie pink as her eyes shoot down to my lips. On cue, I slide my tongue over my bottom lip and allow it to pull my lip into a bite. Sheepishly, she lifts her lips to mine, causing her to rise to her tippy toes. Using this to my advantage, I slide my hands down to her thighs and pick her up.

"Hi-hiccup," she gasped.

   Hearing her breathlessly say my name drove me absolutely wild. I want her, so fucking bad. Based off of the way she clenched her thighs around my hips and teased my tongue with hers , I knew she wanted me too.

   I pin her against the nearest wall, a buzz of lust and excitement numbing me. I began to grow more hungry and needy as I nipped gently at her lips, earning me a soft moan.

   Heat rose from just below my naval area, to my chest, and up my throat causing me to answer her with a low growl.

   At this point forward, I knew I needed to be extremely careful. I can't have sex with Astrid, not yet. If she lost her virginity before we were married then she'd never be treated the same. No matter how bad I wanted it or she wanted it, we have to wait.

   There's of course other ways to meet the needs of a woman. Without wasting a moment, I pry her from the wall and carry her up stairs to my bedroom. I gently set her on the bed and she stares up at me, eyes a shattered blue and hungry for more.

   I slid her boots off as well as my own and our lips meet once again. She was sitting on the edge of the bed and I was standing just before her, towering possessively over her. I hated the thought of anyone else being able to see her like this. We may not be bound by law, but she was mine.

   Another low growl escapes my chest and I move my hands on either side of Astrid on the bed. Thus, causing me to lean over her even more. Before I could crawl forward and slowly push her up to my pillows, she tugs at the hem of my tunic.

   I break our kiss to make sure I understood what she was asking. Once understanding, I nod, and she slides it up and over my head. My skin now exposed to the cool air sent goosebumps to cover every inch of bare skin.

   She slides her hands from the waist band of my pants, over the lumps of muscles shaping my abdomen, to my pectorals, wrapping around to the nape of my neck, and lowering my head to hers; asking to continue our kiss.

This whole holding back thing is going to be harder than I thought.
