***

Eska has sat in the shadows, the sounds emanating from the small cottage making his anger rise. The sound of her scream as her bastard of a husband punished her; then the sound of her screaming out his name, it made him sick.

He has waited, though, and now is his time to plant a seed as Freya and Asgar emerge, her giggle making his heart race as he comes from around the thick pine at the back of their home. The sight of her takes his breath away; her red hair loose and curly being held back by only a leather headband. Her skin is in a rosy blush and he is jealous, it used to be only him who could make her blush like that.

Finding his voice, he yells her name, his heart stopping as she spins and her eyes meet his. He stands proud, knowing Asgar is starring him down, but he doesn’t move his eyes from his love, silently begging her to come to him.

He sees her turn and say something to the blonde barbarian, the way she places her hand on his arm making Eska’s skin crawl and he averts his eyes to the ground, his hands clenching at his sides as he wants to unsheathe his sword and run it through Asgar right now. But no, his time will come, and Eska will make sure it is slow and painful.

“Eska, you cannot yell for me like that. It is disrespectful to Asgar.” Her beautiful voice makes him raise his eyes and she’s right in front of him, within arm’s reach. He has to withhold all he is feeling right now to not snatch her up into his arms and run off into the woods with her. His horse is only a few yards away and he could be on it and a mile away, before Asgar could even get his from the barn.

“I do not care what he thinks,” he grinds out, looking her right in the eye.

“Eska,” she chides, sighing heavily as she sees the stubbornness prominent in his stance. Her friend since childhood has always been her protector, taking beatings from her brothers and other boys when they were younger in her defense, but now he needs to know his boundaries.

“You can’t keep doing this or they are going to force you home.” She tries to smile at him, but gives up when she sees his jaw jut out. “They could and will do worse if you keep on like this, Eska. They are used to getting their way and they need their women to be treated, and to act, a certain way.”

“But that is not you,” he whispers, leaning down slightly and skirting his eyes over her head to see Asgar tense. He gives him a smile and returns his attention to Freya, her green eyes searching his soul without hesitation. “You deserve to be free and do whatever you would like.”

Why can’t she see he is offering her this? With him, she’d be free to roam the meadows and to talk with whom she’d like.
