Tova's Four Kingdoms Good Advice
ERIKWhere was she? How long could it possibly take to curry a mount? Granted, Bo had eight legs, but she should have been done by now. I was pacing back and forth inside my tent when I heard her voice outside.“Thank you, sir. I would not have found my sire’s tent without you.” I loosened the flap and opened it up. She was standing uncertainly in front of the tent. I frowned at her and gestured inside. She bowed her head and scurried in, and I fastened the tent again.I turned to her with a smile and then stopped. She was intentionally turning her head and I could tell that she was hiding something from me.“Tova,” I said sternly. She put her hand to her face and bowed her head in submission.“My lord?” she asked.I sighed. “Get on the bed,” I ordered. She gave me a wink but didn’t remove her hand from her face. She turned to walk to the bed and sat on the edge, leaning forward to unlace her boots. Her hair swung forward and covered her face. I stood in front of her an
Tova's Four Kingdoms River Crossing
TOVAErik gently covered me with furs to keep me warm from the chill wind that blew across the prairie and managed to come under the tent and swirl around us. Between his body heat and the fur, I was comfortable and slept well. He slipped out from the furs when the dawn light broke and I soon followed, slipping into the garments I wore yesterday. I then followed him out of the tent.He possessively clasped my hand and strode over to the mess tent. Men bowed and moved out of his way. I could see Leila peeling apart a biscuit and dipping the morsels into honey before poking it into her mouth. She gave me a conspiratory wink as I was dragged by. Erik went to the cook and pointed. We were given two steaming plates.He led me over to where the Generals were gathered. They made room for the two of us to squat on the ground near them. I started eating my breakfast, listening to what was going on between them.“We have two rather large rivers to cross today,” General Zerg announced
Tova's Four Kingdoms River Rescuer
TOVAI grabbed my saddlebags off from Bo and tossed them to the ground, trying to lighten his load as quickly as I could. I leaped into the saddle and raced him back into the river at a gallop, Laila shrieking my name behind me.I saw several warriors on the other side of the river jump in to help save their comrades, but unless they were really strong swimmers, two would be lost instead of one. This river was too deep and too fast for beginners.Just as I hit the water I could see Erik astride Troi on the other side, riding her straight into the fray. Then the water hit me, and I could see no more.I slid off Bo and tugged his bridle downstream from where the barge dumped. I let go of his bridle, diving deep, trying to see in the murky depths. I felt something bump my leg and then it grabbed me, pulling me down. I kicked out, loosening his grip, and then grabbed hold and pushed hard, swimming for the surface. We broke and I could hear Bo going crazy, neighing for me. When I s
Tova's Four Kingdoms Drunk
ERIKTova relaxed in my arms and turned towards me, tucking her head at my shoulder. I was angry with her, but only because she scared me. I had heard the shouting coming from the river and had ridden Troi hard to get there, just in time to see her racing Bo into the water. The river was running high, too high to be safe, and the current was fierce. We were lucky we only lost three men and we were very lucky she wasn’t killed. She was a stronger swimmer than I knew. She also had a bigger heart than I was aware.I knew that the warriors that had heard her passionate and authentic declaration for the warriors’ welfare would spread it all over the camp within minutes, and that she would have the loyalty and love of all the warriors once they heard.I was correct. I carried her into a silent camp, most of which was gathered around a huge bonfire. She wiggled a little and I gently put her on her feet. She wrapped the fur around her tighter and stepped forward, a little unsteadily,
Tova's Four Kingdoms General Brut
ERIKShortly before dawn I slipped out of the furs and quietly got dressed. Tova was still sound asleep. I figured she would probably sleep a few more hours and she would be lucky if she wasn’t hung over. I chuckled, remembering her lack of inhibitions last night. I got a cup of coffee and stood by the dying fire from last night. Someone was feeding it to keep it up and to ward off the chill, but it was much smaller than it was during the celebration. I was joined by one of my favorite Generals, Brut Sult.He brought his coffee over in one hand and the other hand held some dried deer loin. He was chewing a chunk and he stood next to me silently, the only noise coming from his mastication. He noisily swallowed and I waited for him to slurp some coffee. I knew he wanted to say something.“Your queen,” he finally said.“Yes, what about Tova,” I replied.He grinned. “She’s something.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”He smacked me on the arm. “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed.
Tova's Four Kingdoms Dry Drowning
ERIKI leaped for Tova but four other warriors who saw her fall got to her first. One of the Warriors had already sent another for Garth, the healer.When they saw me pushing towards them, all of the warriors fell back. The one that had sent for the healer bowed his head. “Sire, the mess tent has not been taken down. You can bring her there.”I nodded, gathering her in my arms. Leila appeared, white faced, looking at her friend, but took hold of Bo who was becoming agitated. “I will take care of him until she can,” was all she said. I nodded and started off towards the mess tent with long strides, Tova in my arms.Garth met me there and gestured to a table that they had cleared off for her. I put her on the table and Garth immediately opened her blouse. I fixed glares on the warriors that were standing around, worriedly, and the one that had arrived at Tova first started shooing everyone away. I loved that they loved my queen, but her bre^sts were for me to see only.Garth p
Tova's Four Kingdoms New Camp
TOVAI felt so weak and being in Erik’s arms was bliss. I snuggled up to him, hoping he didn’t mind the smell of onions. Because I smelled. Bad.Someone had hung up some curtains over the corner of the tent to give me a little privacy. They had taken a tub and filled it with steaming water and someone, bless them, had put a half-used piece of soap and a rough rag. I would need some serious scrubbing to get the smell off from me.Brut had asked someone to get a change of clothing from my saddlebags so I even had clean clothing to put on. That was good. I wasn’t sure how we were going to get the smell of onions out of my tunic. Erik gently put me on my feet and waved the curious and helpful onlookers away. “Go,” he stated. “I will tend to my wife.”I looked at him with some confusion. He gave me a tiny smile and then turned a stern look on to the warrior that was lingering. He bowed and left, fastening the curtain.“You know they are right outside the curtain listening,” I w
Tova's Four Kingdoms Keeping the Promise
TOVA“You made me a promise,” I said, again. Erik continued to stride towards me, eyes dark. He looked at me and licked his lips. I realized the warriors around us had stilled, watching the scene.“So I did,” he acknowledged, stopping directly in front of me. I held my breath.He took another step forward and swooped down, grabbing me and flinging me over his shoulder. I shrieked and giggled, and he playfully swatted me on the butt. The warriors around us visibly relaxed and went back to what they were doing.Erik strode over to a tent that had been erected on the edge of the field. Erik walked through the open door and unceremoniously dumped me on the bed before turning back to the flap and fastening it. I scrambled up and shed my clothes. I wasn’t in the mood for foreplay, and I wanted Erik now. I needed to feel him inside me, and I needed to have his arms around me.He turned around to see me standing at the bed, naked. “How do you want me, sire?” I asked. I ran my fing
