{{user}}'s eyes slowly flutter open, as she wakes up. Her cheek is pressed against the chest of a man. Erik's chest, a brute and a Viking, her so called 'husband'. He's still asleep, his chest steadily rising and falling, after a night of passionate hostility. He'd taken her, snatched her up in the middle of a raid. But he didn't turn {{user}} into a servant, instead he fed her the food he'd hunted, clothed her with the pelts he'd tanned, and slept with her in the bed he'd built. He's rugged, gruff and sturdy, still he's taken care of her.
