It is cold here. It had always been cold but it became worse some times ago. And I think everywhere is wet too. I'm not sure, I might just be feeling the moisture of all the urines down here. But I did not think so. I think it rained yesterday or two days ago, I don't know. Time has become useless to me. I have waited, counting the seconds, minutes and hours, trying so hard to hold into my sanity. But I failed. Time is meaningless to me now. Whether it is the day or night, it was all dark in this new world. I think I heard some footsteps, thinking it was the one who brings me bread every night, I began to crawl to the gate. My knees were all battered and my arms peeled, but I did not care. I held on to the metallic gate, trying to pick out the human figure from the dark. I looked into the darkness but could not make out any form. The small gate was suddenly opened and I fell backwards, making me to groan with pain.I heard the approaching footsteps and then I was taken out of the
I wanted to fight him. God knows I wanted to. But the moment his lips came upon mine, I lost my senses. It was as though the body does not belong to me again.i have lost all my sense of reasoning and I just wanted to taste those lips again. I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him back with all the compassion in me.i was only a slave and not deserving of any love or compassion. But it was my only chance at love and I would take every chance of it. I wouldn't let my social status stop me. I remembered the hardships I have gone through all because of his heartlessness and a tear fell from my eyes. I was torn in between pushing him away and hugging him to my chest. Why is my life so complicated? Why am involved with a man whose heart was as hard as a stone? He will never love me, I was sure of that one, unlike my future with him. Another tear fell on my cheeks. But I would love him as fiercely as I could. "I'm yours.", I murmmured against his lips and he replied with a fli
I smiled as I felt his seed entered into me. He gave me a peck and while I expected him to roll to my side, he got down from the bed and rolled into his trousers and he ran out of the room, locking the door after him. My smile vanished. I watched as he hurried out of the room and my heart tightened. It was as if he could not spend any other minute with me. I knew he wanted me. It might not be as much as I wanted him but I was sure he felt it too, this unexplainable connection between us. I could remember the intense way he entered into me. Hell! I could still feel him in between my legs. While he was with me, he seems almost as passionate driven as I was. Then why did he leave so quickly? He must have been disgusted, I realised with a saddened heart. And I could almost understand His plight. His brothers all had nice women with great social and political status. Mikael was courting the daughter of the chief of market women while his elder brother, Duncan was married to two women
I was happy. Not as happy as I've ever been in my life, if we could call those happiness. And I did not need to be told, I knew it could not last but I would enjoy every moments of it while it last. I turned to him and kissed him before I let the slumber take me into the Dreamland. When I woke up the following morning, it was as early as the dew but that was not what saddened me but Angus was again nowhere to be seen. With difficulty, I walked around the chambers but he has left already, leaving me to deal with the pain and discomfort alone. But I did not ponder about it too much, he might have had an urgent issue to attend to.With the that, I entered into the bathroom and I washed. I did the work of a vigilante to make sure no one saw me till I walked into the slavery chamber. As usual, I tipped to my side and I laid on the sheet. I was awaken by a loud bell moments later and to my dismay, it was the market day. Many of the slaves were agile and expecta
"Why not take the one beside her", somebody said and I gasped in shock. I turned to see the one who spoke and it turned out to be Jo's. I looked at the psychopath as if I was just seeing her for the first time."You said what?", the slave master said and Jo's grinned. "That one before you.", she nodded towards me."She is known as the Slave princess, cherished by almost every man in The Oak.", her eyes met mine briefly and she continued. "Her hair is a burnt blonde but you will think she is brunette. All shre can do, you will be surprised ". And then she whispered the last part."Even beneath The Oak. Freya". Being the only one that would never call me by my real name, she emphasized on the "ya" and like always, I corrected her."Freye"It was then that I knew what she meant. I closed my eyes in apprehension while my lids burned with tears. "Freye", the slave master pronounced my name like a caress, all the while staring a
He had his back to me and so I crept towards him, walking on my toes. I stood behind him and I placed my hand on his shoulder. I had only meant it as a playful gesture but then he turned to me. I stepped back immediately.My mouth widened my I saw his eyes. They had turned dark and blazing with fury. I dropped my hands to my side, and my face towards the floor. I took a peek at him, wondering how I could have caused such an hostile reaction. "Where are you coming from?", he asked in an annoyed voice and I caught the whiff of alcohol on his breadth.He was now fully turned to me. His black hair was not shiny tonight, it was in disarray and his eyes were brewing with anger. He had his jaw set in a grim line while his furious gaze remained fixed at me. I began to fidget.It has been a while since I've seen him so angry, since I have seen that hatred dominate his eyes. It has been so long that I did not even know how to behave with him. "Won't you ans
As Angus' lips mine, he tension between us seemed to dissipate, replaced by an intense desire with my whole body aching to be joined with his, to be filled with him. He deepened the kiss, his hands roaming over my body, igniting a fire within me.Like a magnetic attraction, I was being drawn towards the bed, Angus' gentle guidance leading me there. The softness of the bed enveloped me as I lay down, his drunk weight pressing down on me. The world around me melted away, leaving only the two of you, lost in the passionate moment. He broke the kiss to take off his own dress, his eyes not leaving mine. It dance in merry with a silent promise for the long night. Even if I suffer through the day, I have found my solace. The air was thick with anticipation as his hand reached out, his fingers brushing against my cheek. His touch sent shivers down my spine and my eyes fluttered closed. Angus' hand trailed down her jaw, his fingers tracing the curve of my ne
With the way he was now moaning loudly, I knew he was close to release. But then, he suddenly held my hand. I released him and gently, he parted my legs and he began to rub himself on my clit, heightening my pleasure.I had thought he wanted to thrust into me but he was only rubbing the crown of his dick on my pussy. I began to make sexual noises. It was nothing like I've felt before. The pleasure was foreign but good. It made me desperate for contact. I raised my hip and I began to move in sync with him. I tried to make him penetrate but he would only enter the crown and pull out again, driving me with pleasure. Soon after, he added his finger. He thrust a finger into my pussy and I yelped softly at the foreign feeling. I became full when he added two more fingers. He began to fuck me with his dick and fingers and soon, I reached climax and we both came at the same time.I was wondering why he didn't come in me when he knelt in between my legs. He parted my l
As I changed out of the luxurious silk and into my simple dress, Angus's gaze lingered on me, his expression solemn. I knew what he was thinking about. What he has come to realise. I could sense the weight of his thoughts, the unspoken words that hung between us. I knew that he was thinking about the vast differences between our worlds, the societal boundaries that separated us. To imagine it is vastly different from seeing it. As I fastened the last button on my dress, I caught his eye, and for a moment, we just looked at each other. I could see the longing in his gaze, the desire to bridge the gap between us. But I also knew that there were forces beyond our control that would not allow it to be easy. I stared at his elegant attire to my very worn out cotton and I gulped in. I'm sure he could see it too, and I wonder if the nature of our relationship would have been any different had I have been of a different status. With a quiet sigh, I tu
We made love a few times during the night, but it did nothing to ease the hurt in my heart, nothing to erase my memory of Lyla. The way she stared at him with such intimacy made my blood boil. It made me see red. But all the same, I felt helpless. I'm drowning in this river of emotions where only Angus could save me.My mind ran on many thoughts. I wondered if Lyla had recognised me earlier. Could she tell it was me? I could not tell. Not when she was so focused on Angus, with her body drawing to him like magnet. The scene repeated in my head and I gritted my teeth, seething with anger.I think he felt me tremble against him and he placed his calming hand on my shoulder. "You are not sleeping, is anything bothering you?".I hesitated before I spoke. "Can I ask you a question? And I want a sincere answer."He went silent behind me at once. It was as if he anticipated for the question. "Could you not ask?", his voice was gentle, tryi
Angus held me close to himself, , trying to pacify me. His warmth and scent enveloped me, calming my frazzled nerves. But as our bodies touched, the air seemed to charge with a different kind of energy. I felt my resistance melt away and my body relaxing into his embrace. Angus's chest rose and fell with steady breaths, his heart beating in rhythm with mine. He cradled my head against his chest, his fingers gently stroking my hair. My eyes shut close as the gentle touch sent shivers down my spine. I opened my eyes as he tilted my face up to his. Our eyes met, the connection sparking like electricity. The atmosphere suddenly changed and it became heated with our lust. I went lax in his arms and he crawled my head to his chest before his lips descended upon mine. The kiss, soft and gentle at first, but grew more insistent as it deepened. I could feel myself getting lost in the moment, my senses overwhelmed by the taste and scent of him. The world around us melted away, leaving only
The footsteps grew louder, and my anxiety spiked. I pulled the sheets closer, feeling vulnerable and exposed. The door creaked open, and my eyes met those of Lyla. My eyes widened.Lyla's eyes looked around the room, her expression guarded and searching, her gaze piercing as she moved closer to me. However, sensing her intensity, I looked away, my face hidden behind a veil of my hair. But Lyla wasn't deterred. She took another step forward, her movements quiet and deliberate.I could feel the weight of Lyla's probing stare. My skin prickling with unease and my heart beat loudly in my chest. I knew that look in her eyes. I knew it meant Lyla was piecing together fragments of suspicion and doubt. My heart beat faster, my breadth catching in my throat as Lyla took a step closer. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in on me like a vise. I began to sweat."Freye," Lyla she called, her voice low and her tone uncertain.My hands tremb
I twirled around to face him and my eyes locked onto his, shining with gratitude and desire. I wrapped her hands around his neck, my fingers tracing the nape of his neck, and pulled him closer. Our lips met in a tender kiss as my heart drummed in my chest. Angus's hands moved deftly, helping me out of the tight dress, until I stood before him in all my naked glory. The soft glow of the room's candles danced across my skin, highlighting my curves and I watched Angus who has paused to stare at my body as though he was seeing it for the first time, his eyes filled with admiration and longing. As we lay on the bed, my body arched toward him, anticipating the union while Angus's hands explored her skin, sending shivers downy spine. He bent, his mouth showering my body with kisses while I struggled to loose his trousers. When I finally succeeded, I took his manhood in my hand and I gave a firm squeeze.
I turned to leave. I have reached the door when he caught my wrist. Slowly, I turned to look up at him and he dragged his hand from my wrist, up my arm to my shoulders. My eyes closed as I struggled to fight my body's submission to him. With shaky hands, he held my cheeks and his lips descended to mine. As his lips touched mine, I felt a spark of electricity run through my body. Despite my initial intention to resist him, I could not. My lips seemed to melt into his, surrendering to the intensity of the moment. The world around me began to fade away, leaving only the sensation of Angus's lips on mine. His kiss was like a storm, wild and unpredictable, yet somehow familiar. My heart pounded in my chest as I felt myself getting lost in the moment. I tried to push back, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own, responding to Angus's touch in ways even I could not control. The kiss deepened, and I felt myself being pulled under, my senses overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the
He looked at me for a while and then he smiled. He moved closer to me and held me by the waist. He cocked his head to a side. "I have missed you.", he said. Looking into my eyes, he placed his forth on mine. Our noses touched before he covered my mouth with his. My eyes closed as I drew him closer to me, getting lost in the sensation. Our lips crashed and I sucked on his lip, allowing him to take me another world where there was no worry for us, just me and him. He placed his palm on my buttock, pulling me to him and joining us together. He rolled his hip into mine and I stifled a moan. My hands moved from his nape and I threw my fingers into his hair. He trailed the kiss from my lips to the corner of my mouth, down to my jaw and I exposed my neck to him. I did not even know when, my clothes were already on the floor and I was standing naked before him. Staring into his blue eyes, I wondered why I could not be enough for him. But the thought could not linger in my mind. Angus had
"Last night," she began, staring grudgingly at me. "A girl was seen with Master Angus", she said, her arms folded as she encircled me. "Although her face could not be seen due to the concealing robe, it was reported that she entered into this chamber.", she said without breaking contact. My brow furrowed and I swallowed anxiously. "You do not suspect me to be her, do you?", I asked in a disbelieving tone, making her to pause. She closed the space between us and held me by my shoulders. "All I'm saying is that you should not let it be you." "Should it be you then? You want to be her, don't you?", I mocked. Her eyes widened and she scoffed before she pushed me off, making me to land on my buttock. I grinned through the sharp pain and looked up at her. "Why should we fight for anything that can never be ours?", I said to her and she walked out in anger. I smiled. But deep down, my heart raced with fear. I kep
Throughout the day, we all in a bright and energetic mood. It was that lovely mood that I took to Angus that night. But like almost every other night, he was not in. I decided to wait for him. I spent my time checking out the canvas. I found an intriguing one of a lake where a lamb sat staring at the lake while a wolf stares at it from a close distance. Another one was of a dove that flies elegantly in the sky. A smile took over my face. "Enthusiastic?", I made a U.turn to face Angus. "I guess the day has gone well.", he said with a smile, his face neutral. I turned back to the canvas. But I could barely contained my excitement. "It's just that Damascus visited the slave chamber today," I began, her eyes shining with enthusiasm as I reminisce on the day. "He's so kind and genuinely cares about our well-being. He even promised to get us new sandals and improve our living quarters.", I turned to face Angus and my smile froze in place. Angus' expression has darkened, his eyes
