To the Highest Bidder Goes the Prize (Chuckeles/butterfly040

Hearing the door open, she stopped and turned towards him, her eyes filled with weariness from the late hour yet also filled with other emotions mixed in. Was that fear? Was that suddenly relief upon seeing him there? Perhaps both as she ran over to him and threw her arms around him, hugging him tight, "Where did you go? Why did you take your sword with you?"
 
Lund blinks slightly as she rushes to him hugging him tightly. He holds on to her closely his arms wrapping around her tightly. "I just went for a walk through the manor love. I didnt leave the grounds I promise you that." He kisses the top of her head as he continues to hold her close. "I only picked it up out of instinct, not to worry you."
 
She held him tightly, just having him in her arms was calming her nerves. "I am sorry. I'm... I'm over reacting I know I am but..." she sighed. "I just I worry that every time you walk out that door and I don't know where you are going you'll never come back again."
 
"Its alright now darling. Im right here safe and sound back in your arms." He pulls her close hugging her to his body tightly. "I just needed a walk to help clear my head of all that wine." He delivers another soft kiss to her head smiling as he rocks her softly. "You should have been asleep for when our daughter next needs you Kiana." Without hesitating and despite the fact it hurts him slightly he lifts her up carrying her towards their bed. "Now we should both get some sleep."
 
"Lund your wounds!" she scolds him quickly trying as best as she could to be still in his arms, fearing that any movement would only hurt him more. "You put me down. I can walk to the bed you need not carry me. Please you will only hurt yourself more."
 
Lund smirks as she protest to his carrying her to the bed. "Shush love." He doesnt put her down until they reach the bed lowering her to it carefully. He smiles as he leans in pressing his lips to hers softly as he pushes her back against the bed his hand touching her cheek gingerly. "Im just fine love. You act like I havent carried you before." He smiles as he backs away starting to tug his shirt off being more careful now of his wounds.
 
She sighed and rolled moved over to leave in the room he would need to take his place in bed beside her. "I suppose I have become a bit paranoid, haven't I? I've been treating you like a piece of glass that will fall and break at any moment." She smiled slightly as she rested her head against the pillow, not even bothering to take of her dress as she knew she would need to be up within a few hours to tend to Sarah again. "Am I annoying you with all the attention and fuss?"
 
He laughs softly as he tosses his shirt at her. "You are a wife, healer, and mother my love. If you didnt worry about me then I would be annoyed and worried for you." He sits down on the edge of the bed tugging his shoes off letting them lay on the floor where kicks them off. "What truly annoys me right now my dear is the fact your still wearing that dress that keeps me from cuddling with you." He scoots over towards her pressing his hand against her cheek.
 
A hint of a smile crossed her lips at his mention of her dress. She only cuddled her face into the pillow a bit more firmly, taking in a deep breath. "I will only need to put it back on again when Sarah wakes. I am to tired to do it now." That and her fear that letting her bared body touch his and they would end up doing something that left the question as to if she held Jax' baby in her impossible to answer.
 
He smiles as he leans in to kiss her cheek brushing her hair back out of the way. He slowly lets his lips move to brush against hers softly. "Love you act like your scared to let me see you naked? Are you feeling alright?" He pulls back just enough to be able to look into her eyes the concern evident as he trails his fingers down along her side. His lips move to brush against hers again as he smirks. "Besides if your to tired I could always be of assistance to you m'lady." As he says this his fingers begin to ease the bottom of her dress up.
 
Her hand reached down to grasp his, keeping him from pulling on her skirt any more, "I need to know Lund," she whispered to him perhaps some fear actually in her voice. "Just like with the mountains. I need to know if there is any chance that there could be a baby in me that might be Jax's." She stopped him before he could go on telling her he didn't care yet again, "I know what you will say already but this is for my peace of mind. I promise you as soon as I know for certain yes or no I will give you anything and everything you want like that but until then I just.... NEED to know."
 
Lund blinks softly as he goes to open his mouth, but is silenced by her words before he can say anything else. "Why do you need to know this so badly love? Is there anything we could do if you were carrying his child?" He brings his hand to her cheek caressing it softly as he leans in to kiss her softly. He leaves her skirt along as he slips his arms around her waist. "I love you Kiana."
 
"I know you love and I know that you would love any baby I had but it's just one of those things a woman like me has to know. I can't look at a child every day for the rest of my life and the first thing I think be if it was a child made of love or hate." She sighed and moved to settle herself more snug against him. "It would not change my loving the child, but I just have to know. It is in not knowing I fear would slowly drive me mad. I know it's hard to understand..."
 
He suppresses a sigh as he runs his thumb along her lips looking into her eyes tenderly. "You should try to sleep love. Our daughter will be awake soon and wanting your attention." He smiles as he continues to look in her eyes. His fingers continues to stroke her cheek softly as he begins humming softly trying to help ease her passage into sleep. Cradling her closer his smile continues as he closes his own eyes the humming continuing softly.
 
Soon after that, her eyes did drift closed and sleep overtook her.

Life moved onward around the manor. Plans were made for the wedding, making sure it was to be a fine affair and that everything was in order for the occasion as well as for when the newlyweds would depart shortly after for the lands Gaisse had been given. The lord was generous in making sure to send along with his daughter not only her dowry but supplies to help them get there home off the ground and workers for it as well.

A week had passed and yet there was still one more week before the wedding. Kiana had been melancholy a day or so after the night with Lund before her mood seemed to brighten. There did not seem to be an explanation for it.

That night, Kiana sent a note to Lund while he was down training in the yards with the men. It had been the night before she finally gave him the all clear that as long as he took things easy, he had a clean bill of health from her. The note told him she wished to have a private dinner in their room that night and that she hoped he would join her.
 
Lund smiles as he stretches himself out really exercising for the first time since his injuries. He finds some movements still alittle stiff, but manages to work himself through them. Pausing in his motions he motions the messenger forward taking the note Kiana wrote out for him. Rereading it a couple times a smile appears on his face. He folds the note up before tossing his practice sword to a squire making an excuse to be off wanting to clean himself up before the dinner. Keeping himself calm he heads back to their rooms nudging the door open his shirt coming off before he even has closed the door again.
 
"Was my note that obvious?" her sweet voice greeting him as the shirt hit the ground. She sat upon the floor before the fireplace, a fine warm blaze going and a soft rug on the floor. And Kiana, completely and totally naked lounging in it's glow. "I had thought you would at least give me the joy of the surprise to enjoy before clothes started to come peeling off..." she rose up her hand and with one seductive finger beckoned him to join her.
 
Lund pauses as he hears her voice turning slowly. His eyes widen slightly as he sees her completely naked before the fireplace. "I thought I might have a chance to clean myself up first before our dinner love." His eyes roam over her body as he moves towards her slowly. "You are beautiful darling, but you said you wished to wait remember." He kneels down next to her his eyes looking into her eyes before slipping down over her naked form once more.
 
She smiled, a real calm, relieved smile, "I did and I did not have to wait long. Two days after the last time I asked you... I'm not pregnant." She moved to reach for him, and pull him close, "I did not tell you right away because I wanted this to be perfect. Do you realize we have not been with each other for a whole evening like this since before you went missing? I wanted to wait until you were fully healed and I was as well before we could do this..." she lifted her lips to give him a passionate kiss that promised of a lusty night. "I promised you that when I knew yes or not I would do anything and everything with you. I keep my word now Lund... and I BEG you to not keep me waiting any long to feel your body against mine." She sounded almost desperate.
 
Lund smiled as he presses his hand against her cheek. "You sexy woman. Making me wait this long before telling me. I should put you over my knee and spank you." He is caught off guard by her kiss returning it with just as much lust. He is quick to push her down on the floor pressing his bare chest to hers. His lips move to meet hers as his hands begin to explore her body quickly. "I'll not keep you waiting my love."
 
She giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him such a sultry look. "Mmmm, maybe later..." she whispered to him in regards to him putting her over his knee and giving her a spanking. "The night is young and we have all the time in the world." She tilted her head to the table to show him the small intimate meal laid out for them. "We have everything we might need and Lily is watching the baby all night. So it's just us. What EVER will we do with all that time?" she asked with a devious smirk.
 
He smiles softly tilting his head to look at the food. His head lowers towards hers. "I'm not sure, but I'm positive we can think of something to do with it." He presses his lips to hers passionately as his fingers brush against her breast squeezing them softly. "Your skin is still as smooth as I remember it."
 
"Oh you remember that hmm?" Kiana laid herself back on the rug, folding her arms behind her head like a pillow as she lounged on her back, letting him touch and explore all he wanted to. "What else do you remember about this body of mine?"
 
He smiles softly as he begins nibbling on her stomach softly. "I remember a few things I believe." He slides his fingers between her legs rubbing her slowly. "I just hope I haven't forgotten it all." He laughs softly as he eases a single finger into her lifting his head to watch her reaction.
 
"Mmmmmmm," she moaned loudly just ever so slightly squirming under his control, "Oh my my my... that is certainly a find place to get your memories back..." she commented with a smile. She had not felt this playful and feisty in so long. For a time her forced seriousness has start to make her feel like some kind of old maid in her late, stern years of her life. "Your touch... it brings something out in me..." she told him as she nipped her lower lip."
