I kept thinking what I am to him. There were moments when I thought I'm his lover and that he really cherishes me, then again he starts calling me a slave in front of his family, mocks me and humiliates me. Lessens my self respect and derides me. A moment later brings a priest for my blessing and respects my customs, well more or less.
Lorcan is a strange man. I crave his presence and I fear him. My own feelings are so twisted I don't know how I really feel.
This one hour passed very quickly and I had prayed less than I should have.Lorcan actually came to fetch me back to the castle.
We were walking slowly side by side, he looked calmer now.
"Thank you, for the priest and the blessing." I said quietly.
He looked at me and touched my cheek.
"I care about what's mine."
Right, that again. I'm his, his possession. Great.
"We are going to stay here for the night." He said as soon as we reached the front door.
Well, I kind of thought that we won't make it back to the other side of the castle. After that unfortunate encounter with the lady in the morning I didn't feel like meeting her again. As soon as we stepped into the castle a servant approached us.
"The dinner is ready."
Lorcan followed the servant and so did I, with a heavy heart. We were back in the dining room, the Lady and twins were already waiting.
"My Lady." I bowed to greet her.
She only nodded, so much for paying any respects. For the previous dinner I was overdressed, for this one I was still wearing the clothes I was wearing for the whole trip. There was nothing I could do.
The dinner wasn't fancy. A soup with mixed vegetables,some bread later meat with mashed potatoes and thick gravy. I ate the whole soup and a bit of that meat.
"You should eat more, you are very skinny." That advice came to me from one of the twins, I assumed it was from Tod.
"Thank you for your concern but I had enough. The soup was really tasty." I decided to compliment the food and hoped to get out of here as quickly as I could.
"Do you have that musical instrument with you?" The other twin asked.
"No, I'm sorry." I smiled apologetically.
"Well, you can always sing." The Lord suddenly butted into our conversation. I flushed, as I recalled during which situation he said the same.
"You can sing?" The Lady asked.
"I'm average." I smiled again hoping they would drop the topic.
"I'd like to hear you sing." Tod looked at me with puppy eyes. Fuck him. I didn't feel like singing.
"Well then I assume we all gladly listen to you." The Lord of the Bridge made himself comfortable on the chair and looked at me with a weird smile.
I took singing lessons as well as dancing and playing an instrument. I could do it properly but I wasn't excellent at singing.
"I shall do my best, please excuse my shortcomings. The song is called "The Whisper of the Night."
I liked this song, it was calm rhythmic and told a story of unfortunate love between the sun and the moon. I remembered the words and the tunes fine so I started to sing. My voice sounded clear, I was trying to bring the feelings and emotions the song was talking about. The song wasn't very long but it required some work from my midriff. I did my best and when I finished Tod was clapping his hands looking at me with round eyes.
"That was a beautiful song." I wasn't sure if the Lady complimented the song itself or my performance so I just smiled.
After dinner we went straight to the bedroom. I was supposed to sleep with Lorcan. Nobody even tried to keep up any pretenses. The door closed behind us and Lorcan turned around and looked at me.
"What else can you do?" He was angry again.
"I can dance, shoot arrows, ride a horse and well, fight with a sword. I speak four languages and know the etiquette. I'm well versed in literature and philosophy." I looked at Lorcan, not sure what he wanted from me.
"Right, you were a prince." He came closer and rested his hands on my shoulders.
"I must be the one who will see any of your talents, as a first, do you understand?"
I nodded, still not sure what he really meant. After all, he was the one who asked me to sing.
"I'm sorry Lorcan but it was you who wanted me to sing. I just followed your wish."
Angry sparks in his eyes appeared immediately and he clenched his hands on my shoulders. It was a bit painful. I needed to calm him down or else he would take his toll on me. I raised my arms and gently cupped his face.
"If you wish my lord, I will sing for you only. Tunes nobody before you has ever heard." I was on my tiptoes with my eyes focused on his lips. He lowered his head and our lips met. I gently touched them then gave a lick before I sucked on his bottom lip. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. We kissed again, more fiercely he was holding my hair and he was pressing me tightly to his chest.
"That's right, you are mine." He was murmuring, not sure whether it was for my ears or for himself. We dropped on the bed and he started to undress me. His hands were all over my body and I shivered from excitement and a bit from cold too. Lorcan flipped me on my belly and I felt his dick rubbing between my buttocks. He took out a bottle with oil out of his pocket and poured some on my ass. Then he slowly slid inside. We had sex every day so I got used to it yet in the beginning it was a bit painful. He started to move more rhythmically, pinning me down to the bed with his big hot body. He was holding my hands and he kept moving his hips. I moaned when he hit the spot I liked most . Lorcan was breathing hard. I couldn't move, I could only take what he was giving me. I looked to the side and a sudden chill runned down my spine. There was a shadow visual in the chink between the floor and the door. Somebody was listening to us behind that door.
