The golden afternoon sun bathed the endless fields, windmill creaking as Thorfinn chopped wood with rhythmic precision. His wife stepped out, complaining of his labor. “Come inside,” she whined. “Last tree,” he warned, eyes stern. When she defied him, playfulness glinted in her gaze. He sighed, then swooped her up, ignoring her giggles. Carrying her to the couch, he pinned her down, hips pressing between her legs. His hand wrapped firmly around her neck, not choking but controlling. “You don’t wanna listen?” he asked, eyes locked on hers, rough movements betraying his calm facade. “I really don’t like it when you don’t listen… dumb brat,” he whispered.
