This is a darker chapter, like Chapter 5, because Calum Blackthorne is not a nice man. It contains instances of anal and oral sex and non-consent or reluctance. While it has no direct incidents of torture or discipline, those things happened in the background and you are aware of it. Be aware if those things are not your cup of tea.

TeƔrlag crept through the dark passage, a hand outstretched in front of her, touching the wall. Even with the lit candle in her other hand, the light didn't reach far; the tunnel seeming to absorb light. Similar to the way the tunnel's owner absorbed love and joy with his presence, leaving only despair and hate. It was time for her report to Lord Blackthorne, a day she detested with all the fervor remaining in her soul. At least this time, she had news to report so perhaps he would be less cruel, although she doubted that was possible. She reached the end and fumbled for the hidden latch.
The door swung open, and she stepped into Blackthorne's dungeon, smoky from the few lamps. She heard the female moaning from the cage in which Blackthorne confined her. The poor girl had been here for several weeks now and TeƔrlag wondered how she was still alive. She dared not look at her, the grotesque and appalling things perpetrated on her too horrible to contemplate. TeƔrlag could only wonder what she had done to so anger Blackthorne, a severe reminder of what he could do should she stop cooperating.
"Help me," her voice whispered, raw and gravelly, no doubt damaged by the screams wrung from her throat as Blackthorne tortured her.
"I cannot," she whispered back. "It would be worth my life if he found out I helped you. I would take your place in the cage."
"Then kill me," the voice pleaded. "I can't take any more. Send me to my Savior."
"You ask too much of me," TeƔrlag answered. "I cannot take your life."
"It would be a blessing," she whispered. "I would consider you a Saint if you could find it within your heart to stop my suffering."
"Don't ask it of me. How can I do it without him knowing I've killed you, ending his pleasure? You must end it yourself."
"Suicide is a mortal sin. Even could I locate means, I cannot condemn myself to eternal damnation."
"As is murder."
"You would put down an animal who suffered as I do," the voice whispered. "Am I less deserving of your pity?"
"Please, you cannot ask this of me. I'm late. I must go."
Only a forlorn moan answered her back.
TeƔrlag continued her journey to hell, climbing the dark stairs to Blackthorne's study. It would be where he waited for her report. With every step, her dread increased, knowing the indignities that awaited her there. She opened the door and looked inside. Blackthorne sat at his desk, writing. He waved her in.
"You're late," he said.
"I'm sorry, Master. It won't happen again."
"I shall make sure it does not."
TeƔrlag nodded. He continued to write and she removed her clothes, laying them over the couch. When she was naked, she knelt down, waiting for him to finish. He worked on his letter for several minutes, finished, and sealed it closed. When completed, he turned to look at her.
She asked, "Might I ask my Master who the woman is in the dungeon and what she has done to offend my Master?"
He eyed her. "Why do you want to know?"
"She has been here several weeks. If I know what she has done for my Master to torment her so long, I could avoid making the same mistake."
Mollified, he said, "She is a servant girl and I'm trying to extract information from her."
"I would have thought she would have told my Master everything he wanted to know weeks ago."
"Sometimes they are unaware of the information they hold. It helps to approach the same query in different ways to establish the information is truthful, relevant and complete, especially when tortured. They say anything to stop the pain. It is important that the information remains the same every time you ask."
"You still question the information she gives you?"
"Right now I question why a mere servant girl means anything to you?"
"The moans she makes as I come in are distracting and disturbing, Master. I wonder how much longer you need her so I no longer have to listen to her."
"I am undecided. It may interest me to see how long I can make it last without her dying."
"Yes, Master. As you will it."
He considered her questions for a while, studying her. TeƔrlag remained calm and unflustered by his scrutiny.
"The servants tell me you sent them away two days ago. Why?"
"Laird Cameron called upon me and I sent them away so I could do as you instructed, begin my seduction of him. Servants can't speak of what they don't know."
"And you learned what in the process?"
"The Laird is interested in me. He opened up to me. He told me they have acquired the lands of Abner McTavish, won in a card game," TeƔrlag said. "The wife, Isobel, also changed hands. She is staying at Cameron Keep, a guest of the Cameron's."
"Damn!" Calum exclaimed. "They should be losing their property, not gaining more themselves."
"If my Master would consider; when he takes their lands, it will only be more for him."
"Quite right, I suppose; more for me. The woman, Isobel, is she a threat for Thorburn's affections?"
"He says not. He believes his younger brother, Frang, is interested in her, but wonders if she will respond to him. McTavish mistreated her and may have ruined her for other men. That is his suspicion although he does not know."
"What else?" He demanded.
"When they travel together, there are always twenty to thirty men at arms with them. I think none travels with any less than six men. Even Thorburn had six men with him when he came to the house in Dervaig."
"Where were they? Did they enter the house?"
"They remained across the street, not right by the house, but nearby. Close enough to hear him call for help."
"The bastard seems well prepared to avoid any ambush. Why have you had nothing of value to report before now?" He asked.
"They do not come to Dervaig often; once a month usually."
"I suppose that means it will be another month before I get anymore of value for my plans?"
"Perhaps not, Master," she replied. "I have been invited to attend a Midsummer's Eve festival at the Keep."
"Mmm," he considered. "Perhaps we can use that. Crawl over her and suck my cock."
She dutifully crawled on her hands and knees until she was beside his chair. He turned facing her and watched as she undid his pants and released his cock. He was semi erect, her servile crawling stimulating his interest. Her mouth enveloped his cock and he leaned back to enjoy the lips and tongue bathing his member in her soft mouth.
"Touch yourself," he ordered.
"Master?" She said after lifting her mouth from his cock.
"Frig yourself," he ordered. "Rub your sex until you cum, but not before I do."
She lowered herself over his prick once more while her own fingers drifted down to her own sex. It would be nice if she was wet, but being around Calum always dried her out, perhaps from fear. Her mouth was dry as well until she was well underway on his cock. She started a slow rubbing of her sex that would result in her release. After her natural lubrication flowed, it became easier.
To compare Calum's cock with Thorburn's mighty prick left her wanting. Calum at his hardest was half the size of Thorburn. She remembered the way it filled her mouth, how difficult it was to engage him fully with her mouth. Thorburn smelled and tasted clean as she laved his cock, whereas Blackthorne was sour and musty. She dreamt of the way Thorburn's cock split her apart when he pushed it into her cunt. How full, how complete a woman she was, having that sword piercing her. Her thoughts of his splendid fucking increased her arousal and she panted, working harder to bring Blackthorne to release before she did.
"I see that my lessons on the proper way to suck a man are finally bearing fruit," Calum said. He groaned as her fervid sucking brought his release closer.
Hah, she thought. If he only knew I dreamed of sucking Thorburn's cock and that was the reason for my increased passion and skill.
She could tell that Blackthorne was getting closer to his climax. His hips lifted off the chair to thrust into her mouth. There was a knock on the door and she began to rise off his cock, but Calum pushed down on her head and wouldn't allow her off his prick.
"Enter" he said.
The door opened and a flood of his cum inundated her mouth and throat as the butler entered. She swallowed rapidly to keep from drowning in his discharge.
"Cum," he ordered and she surrendered to her orgasm as the butler watched her fingers busily working her pussy. Her contractions swept through her body along with her shame at rubbing herself with her Master's cock spurting his fluid in her mouth.
