One shot - this was initially going to be in my fic but never made it into it, who knows it may make an appearance as a flashback
Warning it gets a bit suggestive!
Her heart ached, relieved that he had finally awoken after several weeks of being in and out of slumber and was seemingly in good health despite his grievous injuries.
When she walked in he had been pacing back and forth his personal room, clad only in his trousers boots, and a simple white shirt to cover his modesty.
âQueen Elsa! I had not heard you enter, I apologiseâ He bowed respectfully, Elsa immediately intervened, a hand coming to tenderly halt him.
âYou and I both know, that there is no need for formalities between usâ Elsa smiled softly, her cheeks pink with rising heat.
âEspecially since that kiss we sharedâ
âA kiss that should not have happenedâ Hans sighed, his fingers rubbing his temple,
âBut it did and as much as you may will it, you cannot force these feelings back into a boxâ Elsa folded her arms, clearly growing frustrated.
âElsa I can understand an infatuation, a carnal desire but you will find someone else. I cannot carry this on, for nothing can come of it.â His chest rose and fell with rapid breaths.
âHans this is more than some fantasy or some infatuation that needs to be satisfied. I would have explained myself sooner, but I was scared at what I felt, and then we had to go against Weselton and we have had no time to talkâ her eyes burned with want.
âWhen you nearly lost your life, I realised time wasnât something that was on our side. I need to tell you the reality of how I feelâ she wrapped her arms around herself as she glanced at the floor anxiously before forcing herself to look up at his loving gaze that was more intimidating that that of a lion bearing his teeth.
âWhilst our friendship has meant a lot to me, I know that it is more than that.â Her eyes took in the sight of him, trailing up from his feet to his strong legs, and muscular chest, then to his handsome and kind face , that was flushed.
âHansâ she paused as she worked up the courage to admit the feelings she had suppressed for so long.
âI love you!â
Hans was taken a back, his eyes wide and his skin pale with shock.
âAnd I know you, Hans, you love meâ her voice shook, as her neck muscles tensed, her breath held.
âSay something please!â Elsa felt her heart begin to crumble into a million pieces , for the fear that he did not return such feelings. She bit her bottom lip as she buried her head into her hands.
âI didnât expectâ He muttered stumbling over his words âElsa youâre a Queen, I am a man who once threatened your life. Elsa we canâtâ he clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. A muscle in his jaw twitched, as he swallowed that primal instinct within him to capture her mouth.
She looked up from her hands, her brows furrowed.
It wasnât what she had wanted to hear, but it wasnât an explicit no on his behalf, but rather a fear of what others would think of the pair if they did follow their desires.
âAnd yet, I want you. I want you more than anything I have ever wanted in my life.â Elsa interrupted.
She inched closer to the wounded admiral trembling. He swallowed hard, as desire rose within him, he wanted to forgo all gentlemanly manners and take her right there and then.
But she wasnât his to take, she was a Queen, her body and soul belonged to her kingdom.
âBelieve me I have tried, I have tried to think of others, to consider a future without you in itâ She croaked with a mix of frustration and anger.
âHans I have not been able to stop thinking of you. Each night I look forward to my dreams because that is where Iâll find you!â Her blue eyes gazed intently into his, she noted how his lips parted and his hands twitched.
âFor a moment, Hans. Imagine, if not for the opinions of others, if not for our titles and scandal; if I was but a simple woman standing in front of you, telling you that I love you, what then?â She pleaded tears welling in her eyes.
âItâs not that I donât love you Elsa, I do.â He snapped as he himself was In shock at his admission, his chest heaved, as he fought for control over his body.
âYou love me?â Her face lit up.
âI love you.â He reiterated green eyes pooling with tears that threatened to let loose.
âBut I cannot allow you to ruin your life with a man such as Iâ He warned, his head shaking ,his words conveying what the right thing was to say but his body, to her definitely screamed the opposite.
