Chapter Text
Sun rays were resting on his complexion. You opened your eyes before him to admire his asymmetrically cut sandy hair and unique beauty. He was enigma, a subtitle force that tamed you when you thought that was impossible mission, that no one will ever capture that wild heart of yours. You could rest on his firm chests for hours, listening nothing else than sound of his breathing, he was the peace you always longed for, peace that you knew you will never feel.
Driving in your train of thoughts which started to glide down into tunnels where heaviness was sleeping, you missed the moment in which he opened his eyes.
His hand traveling over your shoulder to your hair brought you back in the moment fast, before you reached that dark spot, and sighting relief you searched for his eyes.
“Good morning my goddess” He said, than confirmed with long tender kiss which left you unready, but the more it lasted, the more you drifted beyond the thoughts again, and his warm breath and gentle hands worshiping your skin reminded you again how happy you finally were.
Your hands were repeating their journey over the magnificent landscape of his athletic body. Even with your eyes closed you exactly knew where everyone of his tats was. Dark ink suited perfectly to his complexion, it gave him that edge, that bad boy touch, although he was far from bad. Hafdan the Black was one of the nicest guys you met, which surprised you when you finally got the opportunity to meet that handsome brother of your dangerous boss.
Finally it was weekend; you both had time on your hands for everything you craved entire chaotic week. Unable to fight your desire any longer you wrapped your legs around his waist and pulled him closer.
After enjoying the sight your face, expression of hunger for his body, he kissed you again, this time touch of his lips was more intense, more filled with power and lust and you gave in completely continuing his game of conquer you tugged nape of his neck to feel him even closer.
Trough his loud breathing you could hear the buzzing of annoying phone he obviously forget to turn off, and he started to wiggle from your embrace, losing the focus which annoyed you.
That urge to see what is all about, does his brother maybe needs him, he jumped from the bed, despite your attempt to keep him there all for yourself a little more.
“Oh, that is terrible. I hope it’s nothing serious.”
You couldn’t unheard his conversation, he was standing naked in front of you going back and forth, when he apparently heard some bad news. You rolled your eyes and wondered who did they shot this time.
“Yes she is here. I guess she can. We don’t really have any plans” He said glancing at you over his shoulder, smirking but forced to do so, and guessing what is all about, you turned your back on him, covering your body and your head. You wanted at least one normal free weekend to enjoy, and somehow everything was telling you not gonna happen.
“I know brother, I really hope you will succeed” He said before finishing conversation, and he approached you with another kiss, which you refused this time.
“What does he want now?”
“That can wait” He said moving your long hair behind your back and starting to place kisses on your neck, your body enjoyed but your mind really couldn’t, mention of Harald was always followed with certain dose of anxiety and you stopped him again.
“The faster we do what he asks, the more time we will have to enjoy uninterrupted” you said, gazing at his phone than back at him.
“He needs a favor”
“Tell me something new” You rolled your eyes and jumped from the bed, teasing him with sway of your hips on the way to the bathroom. Like a faithful dog he followed, stopping you halfway with his hands around your waist and his lips on your bare shoulder.
“This time is really important” he whispered and you shivered from warmth of his breath next to your ear, but moving away his hands you continued straight making him to follow you to the bathroom, before you entered the shower, you gave him time to tell you.
“Melanie has a fever, she can’t race today. So… Harald knows that you used to compete in riding… and today it is very important for him to leave good impression, important guest is coming over. He really need that this day passes perfect.”
“Important guest, you mean the guy for which arrival he raised alert like the president himself is visiting?”
“Yes, that guy, Harald really needs to sign a deal with him or we will lose the hotel. You know that IRS is on our tail. We need this, not only my brother; people will lose jobs if this fails.”
You loved that hotel, it was more like a home than the job to you and all those wonderful people working there, and you missed horse riding so you just nodded before stepping into the shower, where you tried not to think about anything else except the race, which started to seem like a great idea.
You arrived on Hafdan bike, it was fastest that way, because entire town was a mess and speed was great enhancer of adrenaline you needed for the win.
Head of Harald personal security greeted you two more anxious than usual, and your curiosity lingered around the question what kind of a man was capable to transform exnavy officer in a mess.
“Where is my brother?” Hafdan asked, already missing him, and it was funny how those two were connected.
“He is in upper lounge with Mr. Ragnarsson, he will join you after the race.” Ragnarsson, you tried to remember from where did you know that last name, but you couldn’t.
“Please follow me y/n” security guy continued and Hafdan encouraged you with his smile.
“Among the rest, you will also compete against Ubbe Ragnarsson.”
“The guest?”
“No, I don’t believe he can ride. His brother will be your opponent” he responded and confused you a little, why wouldn’t he be able to ride, was he one of the old despicable rich guys Harald had habit to gather around his legacy, was he the same as he, making his brother his puppet. It wasn’t really important after all, as long he helps Harald keep the hotel in business.
Sitting in the saddle you waited for the signal, you could connect with horses on deeper level than most people did, and sitting there not really thinking about anything you felt great, thinking you fight for noble cause even greater.
You noticed guy you didn’t know from before sitting on his black stallion next to you, and noticing you stare he smiled so kind that you did it too. Was that the brother of your infamous savior, he surely didn’t looked like a criminal, more like one of those guys who are always there for everyone, caring and nice. And you specially liked his long braid which reminded you of Vikings you loved so much from your history classes.
Racing with noble Viking looking guy pumped your body and blood with more power, you felt that when your horse set his strong magnificent body in motion and your body followed feeding on the speed which drag you further to your place of peace.
Nice look alike of the ancient warriors was riding like a one too, and soon only both of you existed on that track, exchanging the smiles, you were silly to yourself wondering why he does it make you feel that way, like a little careless girl on the horseback without worries and problems all over again.
It was matter of seconds but you won the race. And right behind you, he jumped from his stallion coming to give you a hand and congratulate with wide grin over his face.
Little shy at first you accepted it, and after dismounting he took you in tight bear hug like he knows you for ages.
“Amazing race, would love to do this again, while we are in town” he said and you nodded, starting to look around for the sight of Harald and his mysterious brother, little wondering are those good looks in common in that family, and how someone so young can have such power that even famous Finehair respect and fear him.
Hafdan jumped over the fence to congratulate you, you enjoyed his hungry kiss, but your eyes still roamed over his shoulder in hope to caught a glimpse of Harald and his guest.
“I’ll see you around” Racer comented, going somewhere while Hafdan griped you tighter around your waist.
“I’m so proud of you my goddess” he whispered knowing for your sensitive spot on the neck, shamesly continuing to make you want him there surrounded with audience which was cheering your name.
“Not now” you smiled wiggling from his grip and composing yourself for decency while you both are alone again.
“Hope Harald is satisfied?”
“I believe he is, he is upstairs in the lounge with younger Ragnarsonn.”
“Younger?” You asked remembering that Ubbe can’t be older that early thirties and he have younger boss brother everyone fear, intriguing he become and you were a sucker for mystery.
“Yeah, the guy is a genius, but I don’t like him already, he acts like he owns the world” Hafdan commented embracing you over the shoulder and following you to the dressing room, while your gaze ended up on the dark glass of the VIP lounge.
Rest of the day you both spent in bed, you really needed some sleep and while Hafdan was massaging your aching thighs from the riding, you drifted in dreamland.
You saw Ubbe, Hafdan and Harald there and you could hear somebody contagious laughter but you couldn’t see his face.
“I want you” You heard, while all three men started undressing in front of you, for Ubbe you could understand, but Harald it totally blow your mind while they were walking your way.
“They can’t have you” You heard him again. “No one except me can” He was laughing again and when Harald reached you first and took you breast in his hand you woke up in sweat.
“Hey” Hafdan cupped your face and placed peck on your lips, “It was just a dream” and he embraced you while caressing your hair.
“I know” you responded, hugging him back, and surprising when you saw that he was dressed in one of his finest suits. “Where do you think you are going Mr. Black?” you asked tugging his head close to your lips, you needed him tonight.
“I’m not going alone, I’m taking my goddess with me.” He said dominant in his expression and words and you distanced your head leaving his half open lips in the air above you.
“Not tonight, I’m really tired”
“We must, Harald called, he specially emphasized he needs you to run casino tonight.”
“Come on, this is too much. And you gonna allow him to treat me that way”
“I’m sorry, but you know this is not only about him. He apologized and promised us a month long vacay after this” His eyes was filled with enthusiasm, and you needed that vacation so bad, some time to spend away from the tension and stress.
“Better make it two months or no deal” you grinned, getting up and glancing at your wardrobe, thinking what to wear, you didn’t wanted to look your best, you wanted only to get over with the night and return to bed, and yet mystery guided your decision to chose one of the best dresses you had in store.
“Yours or mine?” You asked in the garage, while Hafdan couldn’t unglue his gaze from you. “Which car should we take? You repeated shaking his head a little and smiling to his confusion.
“Harald sent a limo for us.”
“And you are telling me this now?” You smiled even wider and he sealed your lips with a kiss. “Come on” you pulled him for his tie playfully bouncing your way to the black glamorous ride.
