The Nephilim & The Maiden

C h o o s e

I'm so sorry this took longer than anticipated! But better late than never? 🤷‍♀️

Gentle fingers brushed across my cheek, pulling me from my sleep. My eyes opened lazily meeting familiar blue ones. Ivar's face was unemotional as he looked down at me. I was laying against him, my head resting on his bare chest, rising and falling gently with his breathing. I felt my brows furrow, confused as to why I was held in his arms until flashes of last night ran through my mind. I suddenly became very aware of my nakedness against him. My cheeks slowly burned and I tried to back away from him but his arm around me stiffened, keeping me in place.

"I can't imagine you being nervous to be laying naked by me after last night," Ivar teased as a smile finally formed on his lips.

Burying my face against his chest I tried to hide my ever growing embarrassment showing on my cheeks. Ivar chuckled at my failed attempt to hide. His fingers hooked under my chin and brought my face back up to him. His eyes sparkled with the sun light that shined in through the cracks in the wooden walls.

"Last night... did you mean it?" His smile faded as he asked his vague question.

"What do you mean?"

Ivar's eyes rolled, annoyed that I didn't understand his question without him having to say the words he clearly didn't want to say aloud. "Did you lay with me because you wanted to, or...?"

My heart sunk knowing that he was questioning our actions last night. That he thought I did it in some sort of scheme. Moving from him, I propped myself up on one of my elbows and scooted up so my head was above his. Hurt was clear in his eyes though he tried desperately to stay stoic. Placing my free hand on his cheek, my thumb brushed against his stubble while my lips met his.

Our kiss was gentle, nothing like the rough and dominating ones from last night. Ivar breathed out a relieved sigh while our lips were still together. I could feel his apprehension melt away at my touch.

Hearing his sigh and feeling him under me gave me a boost of confidence. I felt for the first time in a long time, powerful. Laying naked next to this normally powerful and explosive man and having him under my thumb was empowering. I smiled into our kiss before I pulled away.

"I fucked you because I wanted to." I said, bitting my lip as I looked down at him.

Ivar's tongue ran across his bottom lip as his breath caught in his throat at my blunt words. Quickly trying to gain the upper hand he always loved having in conversations, he corrected me.

"I seem to remember being the one who fucked you." He hummed.

Moving carefully to not hit his legs I swing my leg over him, straddling his waist. I kept myself just above his crotch so that my already wet self was barely touching his dick. The furs fell down my back, pooling behind me and making myself fully on display for Ivar. Ivar's hands latched onto my hips before they moved up and down my body hungrily.
