Tomorrow I am to be wed to a man I don't love in the name of peace. He's fine to be around and nice to look at, and by all standards he's a great Viking and leader, but my heart aches for someone else. I've denied this part of myself my entire life. I don't know why it's just now surfacing, I've kept it buried deep for so long. I pace back and forth in my cabin waiting for Astrid's arrival. She's been gone for eight nights, traveling to a neighboring village for trade. I decided against sending word of the arrangement of my marriage six days ago. I want to tell her in person. Astrid and I have been friends since we were teens. We met for the first time at Uppsala ten years ago and have been together since. There's always been a bit more between us, but we've never spoken of it directly. I noticed things changing when we left our families homes and traveled to Hedeby together. We find any reason to be alone together, stealing looks and touches, preferring our solitude and intimacy. Neither of us has ever had the courage to take it to another place, or even talk about what it is that we do.
I'm startled as Astrid bursts through the door of my cabin, her eyes sparking as she excitedly rushes to me to tell me about her trip. She hugs me tightly and takes off her cloak. She begins rambling on about the things she saw and what happened as she pours herself a cup of mead and sits by the fire. I try to find the words to say, but am suddenly completely blank.
"Come on, tell me what I missed!" She says while sitting back into the chair. I told my breath as I search for the words to say.
Of course, even under these circumstances, she distracts me. The way her hair is braided into a pony tail is so beautiful. SHE is so beautiful. I've spent so many hours watching her lips as she spoke, imagining how they would feel on mine. How they would taste.
"Well?" She says again. My eyes begin to sting, my heart beats faster. "Siri what is it? What happened?" her voice echoes with concern.
Astrid's eyes are now filled with worry as she stands to walk over to me. I put my hand out, motioning for her to stop. "You're scaring me. What it is?" She sets her cup down and steps closer.
"I am to be married tomorrow. An Earl from Norway has made his offer, and it has been decided that it is what should be done." Astrid puts her hands over her face before sitting back down.
"What do you mean?! So you're going to marry him?! You can't be serious! Siri, you really can't tell me you're going to do this can you?" She waves her arms in the air as she speaks, a vein on her neck strains against her skin as she tries to take in the news. Her hands go to her chest as she pleads for me to stay. Tears threaten to fall from my eyes as I try to reason with her.
"Come with me, Astrid. Nothing has to change." I beg, now walking over to her. I take her hands in mine and she stands. She takes my face in her hands and looks straight in my eyes.
"You're wrong, Siri. Everything has to change. You know why you can't do this. It isn't about leaving! Of course I would follow you anywhere! You already know that. But this..." She moves her hands between us, pointing back and forth. "This is different, Siri. This is so much different." The look in Astrid's eyes as she pleads with me is heartbreaking.
"I need you to say it, Astrid. I can't live my life not knowing what could have been." Tears fall down both of our cheeks.
She remains silent, instead she takes big steps towards me, closing the space between us. She grabs my face and kisses me. Her lips are softer than I ever imagined them to be. I move my lips with hers, our bodies pressed together. Astrid's hands move to my waist, desperately gripping at my clothes, pulling me tighter to her body. I put one hand on her cheek and the other in her hair. Our tongues move gently across one another, our breathing in sync. My entire body feels like it's been freed from chains as I take her in, finally getting to taste her, feel her, and show her what feelings have been inside of me since we met. A soft moan leaves her lips as I tug her braids, and she moves one of her hands to the back of my dress, her fingers lightly tracing across the tie that holds my dress together. I nudge her arm, encouraging her to take this further. She pulls on the small rope, untying my dress.
I break our kiss for just a moment as a slide my arms from my sleeves. Astrid's breathing becomes heavy as I lower my dress and step out of it. Our eyes meet and she grabs me by the back of the neck and pulls my mouth back to hers. Her hand finds my breast, her fingers knead and explore, she rolls my nipple between her fingers and we both moan. I grab her shoulders and turn her around. I press my naked body against her and trace her jaw with my fingers. Her breathing hitched as I gently kiss her neck from behind. I untie her dress and slowly move it down her body. She steps out of it and turns around, both of us staring at one another in awe. Lust courses through my veins like fire as I look at her plump round breasts. My sex aches as I move towards her breasts and take one in my mouth. I suck on her nipples, moving back and fourth. Astrid moans softly as I twirl my tongue around her nipple. I move my hand from her waist, slowly going further and further until I reach her sex. I bring my mouth back to hers as I tease her, barely running my fingers up and down her slit as our kiss goes from passionate to desperate. Finally I rub my fingers into her folds. I lightly circle her clit before pushing two fingers inside of her. Astrid bucks her hips, which causes me to moan.
"Keep doing that" I instruct her, my breathing now shallow and rapid.
Astrid rocks back and forth on my hand, fucking my fingers. I begin pumping them in and out as she whimpers. I reattach my mouth to her nipple as I pick up the pace. Her wet pussy pulses around my fingers as I push into her harder and harder. She moans loudly as she cums on my fingers, causing me to moan at the sight of her. I ache for her as I remove my fingers from inside of her. I bring them to my mouth and clean them with my tongue. I grab Astrid by the hand and lead her to my bed.
"Lay down on your back" She says, and I oblige. Once I'm laying back, Astrid crawls over me. She places a light kiss on my lips before moving down my body. Her tongue traces over my nipples, and she sucks and bites them. Her fingers find my sex and play at my entrance. She sits back, placing her hands on my knees. She pulls my legs apart and licks her lips, my wet core now on display. With two fingers she opens my folds and examines me. She brings her face down and wraps her lips around my clit. I moan loudly at the contact and push my hips up towards her mouth, begging her to keep going. Her tongue laps up and down, sending me into a mind blowing orgasm. I grip the sheets as I come, pushing myself further onto her.
Once I come down from my high, Astrid climbs on top of me and straddles me.
