All Chapters of Tova's Four Kingdoms: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

TOVAI looked at Erik’s earnest face and nodded, warily. He was certainly full of surprises these last two days. I looked at a guard who looked back at me, impassively. I squared my shoulders.“Certainly, sire. I am yours to command.”An emotion crossed Erik’s face for a moment but disappeared quickly. He captured my hand in his, again, and we followed a guard down the maze of hallways. One of the halls ended in a huge room, filled top to bottom with books with a huge table in the middle. Erik watched my face light up when I saw the books.“I will make sure you have time in here to select the books you want to bring back,” he said. “Though I believe we probably have most of the same ones in the library at the castle. My mother is an avid reader and she insisted that the libraries in all the castles be stocked so that she could enjoy them when she came to visit.”I let him lead me to a chair beside a fire that the guard had efficiently lit before disappearing down the hallway.

ERIKThree days later we left the castle. Everything had been done as I had ordered, and as Tova had suggested. She had spent most of her time with her parents and I watched her mother break down as we rode away. I looked over at Tova and was surprised to see that she hadn’t shed any tears.“Are you heartbroken, little one?” I asked, worriedly. Ever since she confirmed my suspicions, I had been worried about every little thing with her. I regretted agreeing to let her stay with me; I wanted her back in the castle under the watchful eyes of Birgir. Not that he would be there.“No, I am okay,” she said, her eyes clear as they looked at me. I must have looked confused because she continued to explain. “It was nice to see them, but I am changed. I do not belong to them anymore and I will never fit in. The last day I was there I realized I was tired of hearing about people I once knew but don’t remember, and about customs I once participated in but no longer know how. I wanted t

TOVAThe brief skirmish that we encountered drained us all of energy. I, myself, was exhausted and it took sheer willpower to keep my feet moving, pulling them out of the mud with a sickening squelch noise.Erik hovered near me, his face stony. I couldn’t tell if he was angry with me or with the situation or with the Bog People, but I figured I would find out soon. Ever since his apology he has been gentle and considerate, and I’m ashamed to admit I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I want him to be changed, I really do, but I am afraid it was all words. I wondered if tonight it would be confirmed.The ground gradually changed, becoming more and more firm the closer we got to the grove of trees. I finally stood without sinking into the ground and even Bo made a noise of relief when we got to the grove. It was small, smaller than an acre, but large enough that it hosted a bubbling stream that disappeared into the bog. Grass grew sparce, most likely shaded from the sun

TOVAErik carried me to the bed and gently put me on the thick fur that covered the bed. He then stepped back, looking at my body splayed out before him, my hair tumbled on to the fur, my long arms outstretched, and my breasts pointed towards him. He dropped to his knees on the edge of the bed, and I obediently opened my legs.He gently bent my knees, putting my heels on the bed and then pushing my knees apart so I was wide open for him. He looked up at me and then dipped his mouth to me. I tensed, waiting to feel his gentle touch.I felt his tongue, lapping at me, following the lines of my sex. He attached to my little nub and began to nip at it. I gasped and then groaned, the sensation bordering on pain but not quite. It was highly erotic. His fingers were busy. They were tugging at me, spreading me wide, giving him access to all parts of me. He dipped his mouth lower, using his tongue to lap at my entrance, twirling his tongue around, dipping in and out and then sucking

ERIKI carried her up to our room, ignoring the giggles from the chambermaids who had come out to see the show. Tova covered her eyes with embarrassment, giggling herself. I kicked the door open and then deposited her on the bed, going back to the door and securing it. I didn’t want anyone to interrupt me for the next few minutes. I needed her.I turned to see her stretching, arms outstretched and muscles rippling, elongating her arms and legs. She saw the look on my face and dropped her arms. “What?” she asked, worried.“Do that again,” I ordered, my voice a little deeper than usual. She looked confused for a moment and then grinned.“Oh, you mean this?” She stretched her arms above her head and pointed her toes. I pounced on her, and she screeched and giggled.I pulled her tunic up over the top of her head and was surprised to see she wasn’t wearing her typical undershirt. I was instantly aroused, and started peppering her breasts with little, tiny kisses, sucking and lick
