His eyes were already open when his vision returned. He blinked to try to moisten them and blood filled them blinding him again. With a shaky hand he wiped them and tried to look around. Complete darkness surrounded him. He lay on a cold wooden table, splinters digging into his back. Breathing came hard as he gulped for every breath. Memories came back slowly and he fought against the fog in his mind. When realization hit him he screamed. A long piercing scream that echoed in the chamber he was in. A torch lit and blinded him again, figures stepping from the shadows all around him.
"You weren't supposed to come back," one of them hissed. "You were supposed to stay gone forever. Now you die for real."
A knife plunged into his chest and his fresh screams echoed throughout the chamber as the rest of the robed figures surrounding him, hacked him to pieces. Blood dripped from the table as his body was slowly taken from him piece by piece. Eventually darkness came again but this time there was light calling to him. He stepped towards it and was gone.
Ashley and I rode out to where the gate used to stand to try to figure out what was going on. Men worked to take down the walls and remove the posts. The wood was being piled in carts and taken to a clearing set up just for this purpose. Eventually we'd get around to building an additional barn but for now, we had bigger things to deal with. Their small camp was visible to the islanders now that a major portion had been dismantled and people were frightened.
"Where's Steven?" I called out as Ashley and I reigned in our horses.
"He's back at our camp, Lord Richard," one of the workers called back.
They had taken to calling me "lord" and Ashley "lady". Nothing we said could make them change so we just ignored it. We dismounted and tied off the horses and immediately a ring of our guards were around us. They didn't trust these new people either and would make sure nothing got close enough to even smell Ashley's perfume. Approaching their camp I called out for Steven again. He came out of their main tent and bowed to us.
"Lord Richard, Lady Ashley, what brings you to our lonely little camp?" he asked.
"You know damn well why, Steven. Your men were wandering the market again this morning. You've been told. It's off limits for now. You stay on this side of where the fence was until we can figure things out," I said with much more attitude than I had intended.
"Truly my lord, this is the first I've heard of it. I was off east removing the wall from near the water line and didn't get back until a few moments ago. I'll find out who they were and deal with them personally, your highness," Steven said with another deep bow.
He seemed genuinely sincere. He was one of the few who understood completely what had happened and seemed remorseful for what he and his people had done to the island so long ago. Others in his group I would never trust but I felt with enough time, I could even get to like Steven.
"Your men are being held at the palace. You can collect them there later. The King will need an explanation and some sort of promise that it won't happen again. Consequences will be forth coming if it does," I said.
Ashley had been quiet up until now and stepped towards Steven.
"Are you and your people getting enough to eat? How are the children doing?" she asked.
I kept my face calm but inside I sighed. Way to ruin my performance. I knew it was her nature though and I couldn't hold it against her. Ever since she had been made princess of the island she had seemed a little more grounded, calmer. And she thought of everything in regards to the island.
"I'll see about getting you some more open fields for crops. I'm sure the island won't mind and I think I can talk her into making sure the bounty comes fast and is plentiful," she continued.
Bounty? Plentiful? My wife never used those words.
"Thank you Lady Ashley. We are getting by but extra space to grow more crops would be appreciated," he replied and bowed to her again.
"Lord Richard, I will come straight away to your palace to collect my men. Rest assured that they will be dealt with swiftly and forcefully. We are all at your service and you have our deepest gratitude for saving us from a fate that although deserved, was complete madness," Steven said.
As we turned to leave their camp, Ashley called back to Steven. "Your fields are ready." Surprise on his face he sent a handful of his men to set about planting right away. He knew she was the island princess but the magic of this place always caught him off guard.
Getting back in the saddle I looked at my wife questioningly. She giggled at me then laughed.
"Oh shut up," she said. "You did it too. All their weird high speech seems to be rubbing off on me."
"Wait till we get back to our rooms, my lady. Then we'll be rubbing something else on you, and in you. Heck, maybe I'll just wave it around for a bit," I replied.
She half laughed, half snorted at the thought, and the sound she made just got us both laughing even harder.
Erica lay there with Henry. Sunlight streamed in through the open doorway and spilled across the bed, her blond hair made golden by the rays. She was covered today and Henry was in the process of delicately undoing the buttons on her shirt. It was see-through as usual and they didn't want the delicate blouse ruined. Her nipples were hard and poking at the fabric and there were wet spots from where he had licked her through it. Her shorts were off and lay discarded on the floor beside his pants and shirt. The tight little gstring she had on was soaked already in anticipation of him finally taking her and was riding well into her pussy. Her full, pink lips had swallowed it.
When the last button popped open he slowly moved the shirt aside. Erica's huge eighteen year old breasts sat there waiting for him to devour them. Kissing her he moved down her neck until he reached her chest. Taking them in his hands he pushed them together and sucked on her nipples, alternating but taking the time to explore each one fully. Her hands in his hair pulled him to her and he took as much of her breast into his mouth as he could. Holding her nipple tight he flicked his tongue over it. His hand slid down her body and between her legs rubbing her pussy while pulling out her gstring. With a quick tug the string slipped free and she moaned. He could feel her wetness against his hand as he rubbed her gently but with enough pressure to get her clit going. With her laying there panting he moved without warning and slipped his fingers inside her, they were soaked instantly. As he slid he would tease his thumb against her clit then keep sliding up inside her to find her gspot. Moaning loudly she arched her back a little. Henry knew it was time and pressed his thumb down hard against her clit. He rubbed her with little circles while he was exploring inside her. She was so tight and the pressure was so great that his cock started to throb wanting its turn inside her. Without taking his hand away he managed to slide his head down towards her pussy while sliding his legs up the bed to bring his cock to her face. The heat from her dripping pussy felt amazing as he pushed his tongue in to replace his thumb. Erica cried out as his mouth surrounded her puffy little clit and sucked it hard.
She took his cock in her hand and moved her head over. Stroking him hard she got the tip of him in her mouth then slowly took his length. His hips started moving involuntarily and she moved with him. Fucking her mouth and sucking her clit was getting him close so he slowed down a little. Erica refused to let him. She moved her head faster and stroked him harder until without warning he cried out and filled her mouth.
His hand never slowed and as she lay there swallowing his cum, and she came as well. With a scream she let loose weeks of built up tension. Fresh wetness spread over his hand and he sent his tongue down to get as much as he could. She tasted heavenly. Licking his fingers he slipped his face back up to hers. She kissed him and then sucked on his fingers as well.
"You'd better be ready for round two, my love," she said.
He responded by sliding around and climbing on top of her, letting his already stiffening cock slap against her thighs. Lust filled eyes looked at him as he lowered the tip of his cock to meet her. Kneeling in front of her he pushed until just his head was inside her. Erica gasped as she was spread her open.
"Oh my god you're big," she panted.
"It gets bigger," Henry said and shoved his cock into her.
