"That one," he said quietly, pointing in her direction. "I like them with some meat on their bones."
Fellis swallowed, her throat dry as the uniformed man appraised her further from the doorway, his eyes lingering on her breasts for moment before dipping down to her hips and thighs. "How long has she been here?"
"Few days, sir. Good girl, well behaved, ain'tcha?" her guard asked her, pulling a ring from off his belt as he stepped into her tiny alcove, keys jangling.
"Yes, sir," she murmured, tucking into herself slightly as he neared her, the obviously higher ranking soldier watching silently from the open doorway. "What's happening?"
"Captain Rennyn here's gonna take you with him," the guard said and then lowered his tone, voice a bare whisper as he pulled at her chains, "No sassing. Do as told."
Fellis didn't even dare nod in acknowledgment, instead lifting hooded eyes toward the other man, trying to peek at him while her guard undid her locks. He caught her instantly, his dark eyes matching hers as he shifted, shoulders lifting. Fellis simply blinked and nodded deference, lowering her eyes once more.
"The men'll envy you. She's a good sport, wets fairly easily. Think she's from one of the brothels up north."
"Come closer," the captain told her as her guard shifted aside. "Look at me."
Fellis did as told, stepping up into his reach as he grabbed for the manacles that still held her wrists together. He closed a broad fist around the center link between them and tugged her close, his clothes and body heat giving her a haze of warmth that she hadn't felt since that morning's first soldier, his sweaty large body draped over her while he took her from behind. She felt herself lean into it, letting him position her directly up the front of him. He was nearly a whole head taller than her and she whimpered as he jerked at her wrists, pinching them up. He was red cheeked, like his razor had dulled. But his jaw was hardened and his features had a dry blankness that made her nervous.
"At the first instance of disobedience I will dump you in an infantry tent and let them do whatever they like to you, is that understood? There will be no guard to curb them."
"Yes, Captain," she whispered, shivering up against him. "I understand."
