Frey grinned.
Then he said, low and rumbly, “Wife, if you think I’m going to further discover your significant charms in my cold cabin on a ship filled with my men, I must inform you that you are very wrong.”
I felt my eyes get wide and my heart swell.
“You’re not going?” I whispered.
“Gods, no,” he answered instantly.
He wasn’t going!
And he wasn’t going because he wanted to stay with me.
Woo hoo!
I grinned before I admitted, “Uh… that’s good since I actually was into all this Gales business mostly because I have a fabulous dress.”
That was when Frey’s grin became a fantastic smile.
Then, thinking about what he did on his ships, I tipped my head to the side and asked, “Isn’t your business important?”
“It was,” he stated, “it isn’t anymore.” My heart swelled so big, it felt like it was going to burst, his head dipped and his mouth touched mine before he pulled slightly away and muttered, “Ruben can deal with it.”
I nodded, agreeing eagerly. “He can. I don’t know him very well but he seems really competent to me.” And this, actually, was no lie.
His eyes held mine and I felt his body move the entire bed as it rocked with his laughter then he fell to his back, taking me with him so I was again on top. I lifted my head to look down at him and his hand held back my hair as his other one drifted down my spine.
Then he told me, “I’m afraid, my wee Finnie, your dressmakers are in for a long wait.”
Oh yes.
Hell yes.
“Maybe they’ll come back tomorrow,” I suggested.
His hand drifted over my ass, my eyes instantly glazed over as I felt his touch cause a spasm between my legs and he muttered, “I don’t think there’s any ‘maybe’ about that, wee one.”
I forced myself to focus on his face to see his focus was entirely on me.
Hmm. I liked that too. Seriously.
His fingers gripped my ass and his voice growled, “Kiss me, wife.”
I’d gone dazed again but that didn’t mean I didn’t whisper, “Okay,” and then, immediately, I did what I was told.

I stood between the door and the doorjamb, hiding the room from view but in no way hiding the fact I was wearing nothing but Frey’s huge sweater from Alyssa who standing out in the hall and looking at me with her eyes dancing.
“Uh…” I muttered, fighting the heat that was in my cheeks, “could you do me a favor and bring up some food?”
“Of course, my princess,” she said enthusiastically.
“Thanks,” I whispered, she winked, smiled brilliantly and hurried away.
Eek!
I closed the door and turned to the room.
It was hours (and hours) later. Frey was asleep in bed. After I’d carefully left his arms to pull the bell to order some much needed sustenance, he’d rolled to his side, commandeered a pillow and his arms were wrapped around it. His hair had fallen on his forehead and the covers were down to his waist.
He looked very hot. Hotter than ever. It was a wonder the bed didn’t spontaneously combust, he was that hot.
I kept watching him as I walked across the room and only pulled my eyes from all the glory that was my husband when I made it to my armchair. I scooped up Penelope who gave me a, “Mrrrr, Mummy, I was mrrrr sleeping.”
“Hush, baby,” I muttered.
Penelope hushed but only after I started scratching her ruff.
Cradling her close, I walked to the window and slowly and silently pulled the curtain open. The rush of the cold draft hit my bare legs and crawled upwards but, although I felt it, I didn’t really feel it.
I had other things on my mind.
I took in Fyngaard. Night had fallen. Torches were lit. People were out.
Life was going on in this world as it undoubtedly was in mine.
And I had finally become wife to my other world husband. There was no mistaking it now. I had five orgasms as proof (the first, two more with Frey inside me, one from his fingers (fabulous) and one from his mouth (so freaking good, I thought it might be supernatural and this was possibly not be wrong, considering his command of elves and dragons)).
And now that he was asleep, the lamps shining a glow on the room, the huge fire roaring in the grate banishing the cold but not quite holding back the chill, it came to me that I was screwed and not just in one way, in all ways.
In our love fest, birth control had not only not been mentioned, I didn’t even think about it.
And that was not smart.
In fact, I was wondering if any of this was smart.
It could not be denied it was good, the best by a long freaking shot. I couldn’t get enough of Frey, the more I had the more I wanted and, what was almost better, he definitely couldn’t get enough of me. He really liked my body and didn’t hide it and he also really liked my touch (however that came about) and he didn’t hide that either. Not even a little, either of them. And knowing both felt freaking great.
All the rumors were beyond correct. His skills were varied, they were vigorous and the man had stamina.
And it was worth it, yes, even worth the risk of pregnancy. Not only because it was fan-freaking-tastic but because it was with Frey.
And, by the by, right then, I wasn’t going to go there. Not then. Not until later.
Probably much later. Definitely stupid later.
But as I stared out the window unseeing at Fyngaard I thought that my parents had taught me to throw caution to the wind. Life was meant to be lived, every breath was a gift, every risk was worth taking.
But I had a feeling they weren’t thinking of something like this.
“Finnie,” I heard and, coming out of my reverie, my body gave a small start and I turned to see Frey was awake, he’d rolled toward me, his dark hair still on his forehead, his massive chest on display, his green-brown eyes were sexy-drowsy and he was up on a forearm in bed. “Come here,” he ordered.
My feet moved even before my mind made the decision to go and this was no surprise. A man looked like that, he was looking at you like Frey was right then looking at me and he told you to come there, you went there.
I dropped Penelope in the chair as I went and she instantly collapsed irately onto a haunch and started licking her foot.
I didn’t pay attention. My attention was elsewhere. When I got close, I watched Frey push up, twist and reach out to me. He caught my h*ps and guided me into the bed. When I climbed in on my knees, he pulled me to straddling him and dropped to his back. Then his big hands went under his sweater and up, gliding light and gentle over my h*ps then around to cup my ass.
