roaring?”
“Aye. All warriors are dense when injured. I am convinced of it. Magnus is so as well. Jarvik believes himself healed.” Deidra drew the comb through Elaina’s hair. “Now, pinch your cheeks, and let me tighten your laces to plump your breasts. For if Jarvik is like Magnus, naught will speed his recovery more than the thought of tupping you again.”
“Deidra. Never have I heard you speak of such. And you don’t even blush.” Elaina couldn’t repress a grin.
“Ah, but I have discovered that all that you spoke of is more than true. ’Tis the greatest pleasure indeed to learn a warrior through touch, smell, mouth, tongue, and teeth. I am indeed fortunate to be wed to such a lusty man. And such a handsome one. I swear, ’tis over a year we are wed, and I never cease to sigh when I look at him.”
Elaina suffered Deidra’s primping for only a few more moments before leaping off the bed and racing to Jarvik’s sick room. Deliberately slowing her steps, she took a deep breath, folded her hands at her waist, and entered the chamber. The unoccupied chamber. “Where is he?”
“I have needs other than you, woman.” Jarvik’s voice came from behind.
She whirled around and ran to him. “Why are you standing?”
“How else am I to visit the garderobe?”
Elaina locked one arm around his waist, set his hand on her shoulder, and ordered, “Lean on me. Who let you walk unassisted? I will tear them apart. Slowly, my lord.”
“Jarvik, wife. You owe me at least six score kisses and I will have them all as soon as I lay my head on that bed.” He was panting, and Elaina knew the trip to the privy had tired him out.
After getting him situated on the mattress, she turned to gather her cleaning cloths, but he snatched her hand. “Lay with me, Elaina. I need to hold you for a while.”
Carefully, she eased onto the bed, and he pulled her down beside. He kissed her forehead and draped his uninjured arm over her shoulder urging her head to his chest. She breathed in his unique scent. Even though he had been in a sick bed for days, he stilled smelled of the outdoors.
“Sweetling.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “You and the girls are safe now.”
She stroked his jaw and smiled at the feel of the soft hairs lining his chin. “’Tis the strangest thing. From the very start I have always felt safe with you. Even as a girl begging for kisses, I never thought you would do me harm. And in the pond. I should have been screaming. Me, naked in a warrior’s arms. Lusty arms, I might add. And though I urged my body to flee, my mind said nay, you have found haven.”
“You unman me with your words, wife. But I will treasure them always as I will you.” He thumbed the seam of her lip. “My eager cock is only too willing to show you how much, but I fear the rest of me is not yet up to a thorough swiving.”
She smiled.
Jarvik hissed.
“Why do you that?”
“I well know that siren smile. So does my lusty fellow and my stones.”
“’Twould seem a torn belly does not hinder the workings of your sex.” She touched her chin to his chest. “I will have them move you to our chamber today. And this eve, I will alleviate the suffering of your both your eager cock and his twin globes.”
Chapter Seven
Three sennights later, Jarvik was nigh ready to order everyone gone. He wanted his wife and girls to himself.
“What ails you?” Magnus swung a blunted blade at Jarvik’s side.
Jarvik parried the blow. “’Tis time you all depart.”
“Nay.” Magnus came in fast.
Jarvik hopped backwards and barely avoided Magnus’s sword smashing his knee.
“Aye. Eógan and his men are dead.” He swiped the sweat dripping down his face with one hand. “Máel Coluim has claimed Strathclyde’s crown. Cnut and Coluim have agreed to sign a treaty. I am well enough to train with you. ’Tis time you depart.”
