You’ve managed to resist their dirty standover tactics for months now, but when their infamous CEO Ivar Lothbrok gets involved do you even stand a chance? A fiercely independent and practiced businesswoman, you’re stubborn as hell with a reckless tendency to speak your mind, so you like to think you can handle anything the blue-eyed businessman throws at you.

But, in reality, you know it’s never that easy to resist temptation.

Chapter Four

Your heart takes a long time to calm down. Sitting at your desk, you stare at your computer screen for a while, then, realising you’re not going to get any work done while your mind is on him, you close the screen and head out into the bar. 

It’s not a particularly busy day, even for a Saturday. There are no football games on and the weather is good so most people are out enjoying it. Your regulars come in around dinner time and it’s a pleasant relief to sit and chat with them. 

Finally, around ten-thirty, the last person leaves and you start to close up for the night. You’re about to take the till out to the safe when you hear the old bell above the door chime. 

“We’re closed, sorry,” you call out, not looking up. “But I can get you a take–”

You pause when you hear the click-drag of his uneven gait over the tiled floor. Immediately, your brain starts to short-circuit in a supernova of conflicting emotion. 

“Come to apologise?” you ask, not looking up.

Chapter Five

It’s a full four days before you hear someone clear their throat, and you look up to see Ivar leaning against the door frame of the cool room. 

You had kind of hoped he would show up. Truth be told, if he hadn’t shown up that morning, you probably would have gone looking for him yourself. 

The end to your date had left a sour taste in your mouth, a thousand things unsaid, both good and bad. You wish you hadn’t bitten right away to his self-loathing, or his jumping to conclusions, or his name-calling; whilst you were generally known for being hot under the collar when the right buttons were pushed, you were also level-headed in confrontations, good in a crisis. There was just something about Ivar Lothbrok that brought out the worst in you. 

You stare at him for a while; he offers you a thin smile, then steps away, heading in the direction of your office. With a sigh, you turn back to your stock inventory; you’re not chasing him, no way. He can wait while you finish. He can sweat.

Ten minutes later, he appears again. 

“I bought you lunch, you insufferable woman,” he snaps, “come and eat it before it gets cold.”

“This frigid bitch is used to cold things!” you call after him petulantly. 

The sound of his laugh echoing down the hallway to you makes you grin as you tick off the kegs of Heineken from your list.

Okay now I wasn’t serious! I was trying to think of a random, silly plot!

But if you come up with a few chapters, I’m here to read it! 😬😬😬

My best advice for fic writers?

Get thee an enabler.

By that, I mean that you should have a friend who will encourage you to write whatever makes you happy. 

Self-indulgent stuff you think no one else will like? They’ll devour it. 

You’ve stumbled into a new ship? They’ll send you all the prompts you could ever want.

Every fic writer should have someone like that.

He totally took the cardigan home and cuddled with it while he fell asleep. I know this to be true!!

Chapter Three

It’s not often Ivar Lothbrok is lost for words, but he’s thankful now that he is practiced in schooling his face into expressionless blankness at the drop of a hat. 

He stares straight ahead for a while, pretending to watch where they’re going, trying to calm his racing heart, his shallow breath. The scent of shampoo reaches him, and he glances sideways at you, noticing for the first time your hair is wet. Like you were fresh out of the shower. Where you’d been naked. 

Oh, Gods. 

He swallows thickly and closes his eyes, taking a deep breath, letting it out slowly as he tries to regain some sort of semblance of composure. 

Bloody Hvitserk was right.

Hvitty, bro no don’t chase her! You need to run far, far away because Ivar is going to make sure you die a very horrible death.

Chapter Six

You snort in amusement, getting to your feet and grasping his hand to pull him up. “You’re the one who smashed the light,” you remind him, sliding your feet across the ground in the direction of where you think the staircase is. You kick something hard and it goes clattering across the floor.

“Here, use my phone,” Ivar mutters; you grope in the darkness for it as he turns on the flashlight. It takes the pair of you a while but eventually you make it to the landing and up into the kitchen. You wish you could say that getting to his bedroom was any easier with light and clear passage, but truth was it really wasn’t. You’re like a pair of teenagers whose parents weren’t home and you only had a few hours to fool around.

Pearl: Hey, how’s your day going?

Me: What if Ivar was an Alpaca farmer and the OFC weaved amazing blankets?
