Love in The Snow Part 1
So this is a story I've been working on for a while now. It's part one of a hopefully three part story, it takes place in the same fantasy world that my story Desert Love takes place in, so if you want go read that one as well. I hope people like this one, I'll hopefully have the next part out in a few days to weeks depends on if other story ideas get in the way. Also feedback is appreciated and if anyone want's to be a beta reader for me I'm open.
Olivia sighed as she felt the light jostling of the ship as the waves outside rocked against it, for once the weather was calm it seemed Isran was smiling upon them this day as their trip had been marred by storms and unsavory waters that made the trip most unpleasant, for her and her family. The cervine adjusted her brown hair looking at the hand mirror that was on her nightstand, she then read a few prayers to make sure that Isran continued to give them a safe trip. Opening the door, she walked into the hallway of the ship and opened the door. The sea air was flowing serenely, blowing strands of brown hair back as the wind lightly buffeted her, with Olivia clutching at her dress. She looked out into the rolling sea ahead of them, in the distance she could see an island appearing over the horizon. This was going to be her new home, the island of Isfält.
“My Lady, we’re nearly at our destination.” The captain of the ship said as they neared the shore of Isfält, Olivia nodded as she returned to her room, packing her things in preparation to arrive at her new home. Isfält was the home of her new family, the one that she would be marrying into: House Asulfsson, one of the Thegn of the island that she would now call home. The ship docked and she could feel the cold air from the shore as it came from the snow covered glades of Isfält, soon sailors were preparing the dock for her arrival, anchoring and lowering the gangplank so she and her family could walk onto the docks where an aged lupine was waiting. Bending on one knee and pulling out a sword and embedding it slightly into the wooden dock, he spoke up.
“Ah! Welcome Lady Watts.” The wolf said in a husky voice, his left eye was scarred and milky white with blindness, “ I am Sigeræd, I will be your steward for your time here.” Sigeræd said as he rose to his feet.
“Thank you Sigeræd.” Olivia said as her family continued to unpack, they were soon ushered onto a carriage with their belongings.
“So how much do you know of the young thegn?” Olivia’s sister Helena asked, Sigeræd smiled seemingly thinking of good things of the thegn.
“Lord, Asulfsson? He’s a rather jovial man if a bit dour sometimes.” Sigeræd said thinking of his lord, Olivia had never really given much thought; she’d never even met her betrothed, with this whole marriage being mostly political in nature.
“Well I’m glad that Lord Asulfsson has accepted my daughters’ hand.” Her father, Gunther said happily, Oliva gave her father a wry look as the carriage continued down the snow covered path, with the loxanne’s hooves trotting softy against the stone paved path; so relaxing was the sound that Olivia fell asleep. She was woken up a few hours later by her mother Lydia who was shaking her.
“Olivia, my dear it’s time to wake up,” The older deer said as she shook her awake, Olivia could see that the sun was now high in the air, which meant it was mid-day, “Come on, and see the castle.” Her mother said, Oliva got out of the carriage and was able to see the full beauty of the castle, while it was mostly stone, the stone was carved in such a way that made it look somewhat immaculate, all around were various soldiers and servants moving about taking care of various things, or just simply guarding the estate from any would be intruders. The grounds were still snow covered, but hopefully that would change with Spring being right around the corner. The group was escorted into the grounds where Olivia could see two wolves fighting in a training exercise.
The youngest looking one was weaving in and out of sword slices, blocking with his shield when need be, or parrying the attacks. The older wolf, one clearly more experienced, continued to press his attacks, looking for a chink in the younger wolf’s armor, then he found it, taking advantage of it and knocking him flat on his butt, with the older wolf pointing his blade at his neck, with the younger wolf growling in annoyance at being
“You need to better train young lord, if this were a real battle you’d be dead.” The older wolf said as he sheathed his blade and held out his hand helping the younger wolf to his feet, “It appears we have guests, young lord.” The older wolf said pointing to the gathered cervine who were watching the training exercise.
“Good afternoon my thegns.” Oliva’s father said as he bowed to the wolf before him, Olivia and her sister and mother doing the same, “It’s good to see you my old friend.” Gunther said as the older wolf pulled each other into a tight hug.
“Gunther, it’s good to see you.” The older wolf said, pulling from their hug.
“I could say the same to you Solmund.” Gunther replied, the two were soon talking like old friends, because well they were, “Solmund, this is my wife Lydia, and this is my daughters Oliva and Helena.” Gunther said pointing to the three, Solmund walked up to Olivia and inspected her.
“Ah, you are the one who is marrying my son, speaking of whom, I think you two should finally meet, come here my boy.” Solmund said as the younger wolf walked up from behind her betrothed was a tall wolf, with him standing several feet above her in height, he had deep white fur and bright yellow eyes.
“H-Hello, I’m Olivia.” Oliva said nervously,
“Gunnald, it is a pleasure to meet you,” Gunnald said bowing towards Oliva, with her doing the same, Olivia barely made eye contact as Gunnald turned to his future in-laws, “It is also a pleasure to meet you as well.” Gunnald said in a gruff tone. The rest of her family bowed towards him and her father walked off with his old friend to reconnect and her mother and sister left to explore the castle, leaving Olivia alone with her fiancé.
“You're quite beautiful.” Gunnald said happily, this made Olivia squeak a bit and she wasn’t expecting him to say something like that.
“Th-thank you, you're rather handsome yourself.” Olivia replied, pulling at her dress in a nervous tick. Gunnald then heard a voice from the other area of the hall speak to him.
“Young lord, you’re needed.” A servant said and Gunnald nodded and left Olivia alone with her thoughts, her wedding was weeks off and already she was acting like a lovesick puppy around her fiancé. At least she knew she liked him, maybe not loved him, at least not yet; she hoped it would evolve into that. Taking a deep breath, she went to go find her sister and the two of them explored the castle with her mother. The grounds were quite beautiful even on the inside with several gardens that despite the winter cold had some plants, mostly trees that were growing quite well, druids kept the plants alive through the winter with their nature magics. When they were finished exploring and after enjoying some lunch. Her and her sister separated again. With Olivia finding Gunnald again, he was busy doing his early evening training. She watched him intently. How his muscles even through his dark white fur bulged and moved with muscles. It was rather bewitching to watch him use his body in such ways, the way he fought against multiple opponents keeping his body from being touched by any of them, a mesmerizing sight indeed.
Later, when night fell Oliva and her sister were in their room, with Oliva brushing her hair in preparation. Helena was already in bed, she was fluffing her pillow and was talking to Oliva.
“You know I saw how you were looking at Gunnald.” Helena said as she laid down, Oliva nearly pulled out her hair when she yanked the brush and turned to Helena.
“In what way do you think I was looking at him?” Olivia asked, her face read, her sister giggled at this and spoke up.
“Oh, I saw how you stared at him, he is handsome isn’t he?” Helena said, and Olivia had to agree, Gunnald was handsome and she definitely liked to look at him. After she finished brushing her hair Oliva went to bed but, try as she might she just couldn’t get to sleep, tossing and turning in her bed multiple times. Eventually she figured she could tire herself out and got out of bed and took a walk around the grounds. It was during this walk that she ran across Gunnald again who was shirtless this allowed her to see some of his warrior frame; well what parts she could that were illuminated by the soft moonlight the wolf absolutely dwarfed her in terms of size with her face just barely reaching his chest, it was quite intimidating.
“Oliva, couldn’t sleep as well?” Gunnald asked, Olivia nodded she couldn’t take her eyes off his body, and he couldn’t do the same with her, the two turned away from one another not willing to look the other in the eye, well at least Oliva knew one of her betrothed weaknesses.
“I…I could invite you to my room,” Gunnald said, Olivia turned to him with a bit of a shocked look on her face, “Completely innocently…of course.” Gunnald said Olivia thought of the proposition for a moment and accepted, and Gunnald led them to his room, the room that after their wedding would be theirs together.
Her fiancé’s room was quite well lit, a few wall scone’s were lit illuminating it brightly with a orange hue, in this light she could also make out more of her fiancé’s body, and she noticed the many scars that were across his body, many of them looked nearly healed while some were rather fresh based on how they were healing. Gunnald was sitting on his bed when Olivia walked up behind him.
“C-can I touch them?” Olivia asked, Gunnald nodded and Oliva traced a gentile finger down one of his scars, “Where did you get them?” Olivia asked; she knew the answer, but she wanted to hear it from his mouth.
“Battle…it is…a heavy thing to deal with.” Gunnald said. He flinched when Olivia touched a fresh scar, his body was covered in them, and it was rather haunting, she wondered how many of them were caused by accidents during training and the others were from actual campaigns he participated in, “Many women would think them ugly.” Gunnald said not looking Olivia in the eyes as she moved to the front of his body, she turned his face to hers, the deer looking her fiancé in the face.
“I don’t.” Oliva said as she traced her slender fingers down the large scar on the front of his chest, very few touched him this intimately, the feeling was rather alien to Gunnald, he didn’t mind it, it was just…different.
“Can I see you as well?” Gunnald asked, Olivia hesitated for a moment, then nodded as she undid her night gown’s straps letting it fall to her waist revealing her modest bust and soft brown fur. Gunnald took a deep breath and touched her soft fur, trailing his hands up her stomach and stopping at her left breast, the feeling made Oliva’s breath hitch slightly.
“I didn’t lie this afternoon,” Gunnald said as he drew Olivia into a deep kiss, her first ever, “I think you are quite beautiful, radiant even.” Gunnald whispered into her ears as he kissed her again, with him biting her bottom lip slightly she let out a light cry of pleasure as her mouth opened wider and Gunnald deepened their kiss, he pulled her into his frame and the two fell down with Oliva landing on Gunnald’ s chest. The two parted, breaths heavy and husky from the kiss. Gunnald then began to knead Oliva’s breasts making the deer stifle a moan so that no one else would hear her in the other rooms, though she was sure that the stone walls would muffle out any sound. Gunnald then moved one of his hands down to her most sensitive area and this made Olivia stop dead in her tracks, noticing this Gunnald spoke up.
“I’ll go as far as you’ll allow me.” He said as he waited for his fiancée’s consent, she spread her legs slightly.
“I’ll go that far, bu-but I’m not ready for…that yet.” Oliva nervously said, nodding, Gunnald could wait until she was in her opinion ready. Plunging one of his digits into her waiting snatch Gunnald could feel just how slick it was. His finger plunged deeper into her and then as quickly as it was inside her he withdrew it only to place it back in again. Oliva clutched at Gunnald’s body as he fingered her; her cries of ecstasy muffled by his large chest as she hugged him. Each plunge of his finger was so deep and so heavenly that Olivia had a hard time keeping herself from collapsing completely, then he added another finger to the equation. This brought her even more pleasure as he picked up the pace of his fingering. Clutching at her lover tighter Olivia let out a single long whine as she came on Gunnald’s finger, her vaginal walls closing in around his digits as she rode out the orgasm bucking her hips in a sensual manner as she cried out in his chest. Gunnald for his part held onto her firmly as she did, before kissing her several times. With her peak reached Olivia was panting heavily as Gunnald hugged her.
“Are you alright?” Gunnald asked, Olivia nodded as he kissed her again. He let out a small grunt when he felt Olivia’s hand reach down to his crotch touching his cock which was still covered by his loose trousers.
“I-I want to repay the favor.” Olivia said as she undid the string that kept his pants on, as they fell down his leg allowing Olivia to get a good look at her fiancé’s canine cock. His cock was thick and was veiny with a dark crimson color, it twitched and throbbed with want and she could see something leaking from it. Touching it cautiously she gently gripped the base of his shaft and began to move her hand up and down his cock, Gunnald let out several small groans of pleasure as and was gritting his teeth Olivia’s gentle hand worked it’s magic, she could see how much he was enjoying the hand job and began to move her hand faster and faster and he was getting close to cumming. Whining slowly Gunnald came; rope after rope of his seed came out of his cock landing on Olivia’s legs, feet, stomach and finally pooling on her hands . Pulling her hand away from his cock Olivia admired how much her fiancé came and kissed him deeply the two of them laid down with Gunnald wrapping his arms around Olivia’s body as he snuggled up to her. The two fell asleep together. The next morning Olivia woke up, she felt the warmth of her fiancé’s body she hugged him closer as she listened to the gentle thump, thump, thump of his beating heart and the soft breathing that emanated from Gunnald, alas this moment of peace was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the door.
“Olivia! Are you in there?” Olivia heard her sister Helena speak through the door, she heard the yawning of Gunnald as he woke up, Olivia dressed herself and she walked up to the door opening it slightly to see Helena who had a look on her face like she’d seen a scandal, which she sort of did, while Olivia was not sure of the customs of the Lupine, where she was from it was unbecoming of two newlyweds, especially nobility to be seen in bed together before their wedding night.
“Getting a leg up I see.” Helena said giggling like a young child despite being only three years younger than Olivia.
“You can say that,” Gunnald said as he walked up behind her Helena laughed even more as she noticed Olivia’s embarrassment, “Though we didn’t do much last night.” Gunnald said, making Olivia even more embarrassed.
“Oh my, well I’ll leave you two.” Helena said as she closed the door, and Olivia turned to Gunnald and gave him a dirty look, which Gunnald conveniently ignored, he kissed her again and began to get dressed.
“I loved last night; I can’t wait to experience it again.” Gunnald said happily as he began brushing his hair. Olivia sighed as she sat on the bed observing Gunnald’s morning routine; how he would keep his long black hair kempt and preened, and how he would comb his beard, so it was nice.
“Would you like to join me in a bath?” Gunnald asked. Olivia thought of the proposition for a moment and agreed. So Gunnald showed her his private bath, kept warm by magical flame, running the water inside he sighed as he stripped out of his morning cloths some fresh ones having already been laid out the night before, Olivia had to rush to get some clean cloths and hope no one saw her exit and then re enter into Gunnald’s room. Upon returning Gunnald was fully nude and inside the bath already, he motioned for Olivia to join him; she stripped out of her clothes and dipped a hoofed foot into the water to test the temperature before submerging herself up to her neck. The water was nice and warm, not too hot and not cold at all, just the right temperature to work the kinks out of tired and aching muscles it was a sensation that she seldom got in her home of the Principality of Bakian they had running water, but barely any heating due to the lands lack of many magic users.
“This is nice.” Olivia said softly as she snuggled up against Gunnald, the two soaked in the bath for a while, enjoying the closeness of one another: an intimate closeness that Oliva hoped would become more and more common with the two as they grew close to one another.
