*Baldir POV*
Being reunited with my best friend has brought me endless joy. Bjorn has always been there for me. Never before would I have thought that I would find someone else that could make me happier than being with him and going on adventures.
That was until I met his sister for the first time. Seeing her was like watching beautiful gems coming out of the ground. Every movement seemed to sparkle in my eyes. Her red hair drew me in with its citrus smell. Her eyes captured my soul. Her body made me want to worship her and giver her anything she wanted.
To be honest I am pretty sure that this dwarf fell for the cliche. I fell in love at first sight. I would have told you that you were lying if you had told me I would fall in love on this trip to meet up with my friend again.
I have never felt for any of the women I have had in the past. It has been years without feeling anything for any woman. With Beth though I feel to many feelings. That is how I know she is special.
Right now I am trying to talk to her about when she wants to do this fight she asked me for. From what I have heard from Rolo and Bjorn, she has a fight that she doesn't care if the man wins but they have to impress her during it. They said that they just don't know what it is that will impress her and I have to figure that on my own.
"Beth, could you tell me when you would like to do the proving fight? I want to prove that I am serious about you and a possible relationship with you."
I asked her while she was sitting across from me weaving a crown of flowers. She looked up at me and the twinkle of playfulness in her eyes took my breath away. With a radiant smile she said to me.
"Baldir, are you wanting to capture my maiden heart?"
Her response was not what I was expecting. It seemed like she liked me too but I couldn't quite tell. Its not like the other women I had been with. They would always throw themselves at me and try to jump right onto my bed. Regaining my ability to talk that she so ruthlessly took from me I spoke spilling my heart because I just couldn't not spill it. She just has that kind of power over me already.
"I... I would have to say that I am. You completely take my breath away. It would be my honor to steal your heart and protect it always. Every smile is like a thundering strike to my heart. Every glance is like I am being surrounded by the most amazing feeling. Beth you are different... You are the first woman that made me feel this way."
I watched as a charming blush spread up her neck to her face and ears. It seems I embarrassed her with my speech. Is she going to reject me now and call me a freak? Shit I really should have asked Bjorn how to fall in love. Fuck even Rufus has a wife and kids back home. Oh man I know it I really screwed this up. I was falling into a spiraling descent plummeting myself into the abyss that is my own head. I was brought back to reality when I heard Beth's beautiful voice.
"Baldir I think you should know..."
*Beth's POV*
Watching the Dwarf in front of me spiraling into his own mind I couldn't help but chuckle to myself at just how cute he is.
When I first saw him drinking with my brother I knew he was different from the rest. I was quite grossed out by the Vampire drinking with them. He was just a lecherous disgusting piece of shit. I am glad that Bjorn killed him or I would have done myself. If old man Dracula had cared I would have fought him to. I am sure my grandpa Ares would have joined me for some family bonding over smashing that prick.
Baldir though was just a handsome hunk of a man. I could tell he was a Dwarf by the way he carried himself. It was like he could hold a whole mountain on his broad shoulders and thick arms. He may be shorter but not by much. I stand at an easy 5ft 11in and he is only about 3 inches shorter than myself. Quite large for a dwarf when they generally don't grow taller then 5 foot at most.
He also holds himself with honor, not once did he look at me with anything other then admiration and faint traces of love. So I guess it was time to tell him the truth about the so called proving fight that I have made all of my suitors go through.
"Baldir, I think you should know that the proving fight has been a ruse this whole time. I just didn't like any of the guys that came for me. So I just beat them up and sent them on there way with the excuse that I couldn't be with anyone weaker then myself."
Watching his face go from crestfallen to completely shocked was priceless. I laughed heartily pressing my hands above my breast to stop them from moving to much because I could see the clan members around us starting to stare at me.
"Beth... That... that is... Amazing! But, why are you telling me that? Do you not see me as a suitor?"
I couldn't get over the range of expressions on his face. He hid nothing from me I could see his thoughts written all over it. With a chuckle I just grabbed his hand and held it while looking into his eyes.
"What do you think Baldir, I know Bjorn has already said he wouldn't mind if we got together. So I see nothing wrong in exploring a relationship with you. But know this mister, if you fool around on me I will skin you alive!"
Baldir just looked at me with a calm smile and without skipping a beat spoke.
"If I ever betray Beth I will have my soul abolished by her father Thor Odinson willingly!"
*Crack*
*Boom*
The divine power of my Father's resounded in the sky with Baldir's oath. I was stunned no man has ever gone this far to win my heart. With a smile on my face I couldn't help admiring him even more. My heart beat sped up to the point that it was hammering in my chest. This man is really winning me over at this rate.
{ Just to let everyone know I will be slowing down my writing just a bit. IRL troubles and all that fun stuff. But I will try to keep a constant flow of chapters coming out. If you haven't yet you should check out my other novel Being Reincarnated with my Beast King System. Have a good one.}
