The Warlord

Both men chuckled and Dominic answered. "And I bet they will all be groaning and on their back before lunch."

She winked and then grinned a little. "Do you want to make it more interesting?"

Both arched a brow and Ter spoke first. "How?'

She gave a slight shrug and looked back over to the men warming up then back to Ter. "Tell them, whoever beats me and whoever hadn't had a go can use me to make sure I learn my place in a mans world. Give them a bit more incentive not to hold back."

Dominic looked at her. "Are you sure you want to do that? What if one beats you?"

Smiling sweetly. "There's only one man here I would allow to beat me. It also gives me a reason not to loose."

Dominic nodded and stood up. "Fall in!" he shouted. Once the men were closer he spoke loudly. "This little lady thinks she can take on our army single handily. I told her that she's full of bullshit. So we've made a little wager. To anyone who beats her, them and the rest who haven't fought her get to do whatever they want with her for a week." There was a roar from the men thinking they could get her into bed already. "She needs to learn weapons are for men and she should go back to sewing dresses." The men cheers again and Dominic gave the signal to make the fighting circle.

He then looked down at her. "Weapon changes?"

She nodded as she picked up the poleaxe. "Fans, daggers, long sword, duel sword". Putting thick tubing against the sharp edges of each of the weapons from the bag she bought with her, so she wouldn't spill any of their blood.

Ter nodded and picked up her gear. Before every tenth man, the weapon was dropped near them so she could change weapons.

Dominic watched her fix the tubing and asked, "What's that for?"

Not looking up when she fixed the tubing on the axes blade. "The blades are made the same as the dagger. I don't spill blood with those I spar with, I only want blood when its against the enemies." Then she looked up and grinned. "They'll just have some really nasty looking bruises from it."

He chuckled and bowed his head. "Good luck, my lady Isabella. I hope your weapon skills are as good as your talk."

Her parents and others that weren't joining in on the spar sat around the arena. Bets were even taken placed with how far she could go. Both Dominic and Ter got two of their stable hands go to and place bets that she would complete the circle. They were the only ones who did it.

Once she had gotten to the first man, she held up her poleaxe and the first ten men raised their weapons. Everyone knew the rules of the fighting circle. As soon as the first man was down, she would go to the next one straight away and so forth until the last man was down and then she would change weapons and repeat it.

Everyone was ready and she nodded to the first man to make his move. But no one was ready that she was quick with her weapons or the strength behind each hit. Within four moves, she had gotten the first man down and moving onto the second. Each move she made, was different against each man. And within ten minutes, she had all the men down groaning and she handed her poleaxe to Ter and picked up her fans. She double checked the tubing and held them up and waited for the next group to be ready and she began again.

The whole circle was completed just over an hour. She had decided to play a little with a few of the men when they told her what they wanted to do with her. She was drenched in sweat and breathing a little harder after the last fight. But smiled as the defeated men came up to her and patted her on the back with a good fight.

A bucket of water was bought over to her, she ladled some down the back of her neck, then across her face before taking a long drink. A few of them had gotten a good connection to her. She had thin cuts over her arms and stomach but nothing serious. The men though, they had nasty looking bruises already coming out when they removed the chest plates and tunics to see the damage she had done to them.

After a while, Dominic went over to her, sitting down beside her as she ladled more water over the back of her neck. He watched his men laughing and comparing bruises. He finally said. "Ask me again."

She looked up to him a little confused then realized what he meant. "I offer my services to you, will you accept them?"

He nodded. "I accept them." She smiled brightly and couldn't help but give him a tight hug. He hugged her back and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He pulled her back a little and looked at his men again. "Am I allowed to tell them who you are, or does that stay between the ones who know already?"

She looked around at the men. "I think it might be better if you tell them. So none think they just got beaten by a normal girl." She couldn't help but giggle to that idea.

He also grinned with that idea. What would it look like to hear that his blood thirsty men were beaten by a average girl. He stood up and yelled out, "Fall in". Once everyone had come closer, he stepped up on the bench Isabella was sitting on and looked over the faces. "I can't believe you guys let this little lady beat you. For shame on all of you." He shook his head and disappointment crossed his men features as they realized that was what just happened.

He held his hand out to Isabella and she stood up beside him as he continued. "But it's good that I know this lady here isn't exactly the normal, run of the mill woman." He watched the questionable looks from his men. "This was a test to see her in action with close range combat. She offered her services to me the other day and I had to tell her I had to think about it. But I think you'd agree with me her skills as a fighter are extremely high and we'd be happy to have her part of our group. So I have accepted her offer."

The men who fought her nodded and cheered hearing she was going to join them in battle.

Dominic held his hand up to get silence. "Something I believe you should know about her. She is Vrah." He watched the stun faces and they realized what she could of done to them. A few of the younger warriors looked confused before ones beside them told them what it meant and they went wide eyed. "As always, this stays with us. No one outside our group or that will come into our group from now on will know that piece of information. Anyone that talks aloud, you will loose your tongues." He warned them. "That's it. Go and cool off, you deserve it after her beating." Then chuckled along with a few of the beaten warriors. He jumped down from the bench and helped her down.

She went to grab her gear but he grabbed it before her and held out his arm to her. She bowed her head and placed her hand above his and they headed back towards the castle.

Once they had gotten to the stairs she sighed. "I'm going to be paying for this later". Giving a slight laugh.

He looked over to her. "What do you mean?"

The walk to his room became more slower than their speed from the arena to the first lot of steps. "The downfall of being Vrah. I won't beable to move much for the next day or so until my muscles relax."

He nodded, understanding what she was talking about. "We'll get a bath drawn for you so you can soak in it so your body can begin relaxing."

Half an hour later, she was undressed and in the bath tub. Letting the warm water relax her muscles. She closed her eyes and didn't realize she had fallen asleep, only to be woken up in a bath of cold water. Her muscles were stiff and she couldn't move at all. When she heard Dominic calling out, she cringed and answered. "Err, still in here."

He went into the bathing room and looked at her. "Isn't that water cold?"

"Freezing but I can't get out".

He grabbed a towel and put it over the tub before reaching down and grabbing her arms and helping her up slowly to her feet. He quickly wrapped the towel around her body and lifted her out of the bath. She was shivering and he quickly started to dry her with another towel. Once she was dry, he picked her up and took her over to the bed, pulling down the covers and slipping her underneath, pulling the covers back up and taking the towels away from her. He started to rub the covers against her and after ten minutes he slipped his hand under to her shoulder to feel her body still cold.

He moved to the other side of the bed and started to undress. "Sorry Bella but it's the only thing I know to get your temperature back up quickly." Once he was naked, he slipped under the covers with her and moved across, pulling her against his chest, jumping a little to start with from her cold skin before hugging her tightly.

She was about to protest but feeling his warmth against her, she hid her head against his arm and under the covers and soon fell asleep.

When he felt her go to sleep and feeling her body was warm again, he was about to slip out from the bed but he couldn't. She had a tight hold on his arms so whenever he moved, she would hold his arms tighter. He took a deep inhale of her scent before closing his eyes to sleep as well.

* * * * *

By morning, she had turned around and he was laying on his back. She had one arm across his chest and a leg tangled with his. He was just laying there silently. He was enjoying the small movements of her body next to his. Dominic's hand started to trace back and forth along her spine which made her wriggle and push more against him. He opened his eyes up and looked out the window. He knew he had to control himself now, but the little moves from Isabella's body, it wasn't helping him at all.

With him looking out the window, he didn't notice Isabella opened one of her eyes then close it again. For the second time in her life, she felt really at home with someone. Someone she felt safe with. She hadn't felt that way since before the Kingdom changes and living with her parents, but then all children felt safe when with their parents. But this man was giving her strange feelings. No one had made her feel like that before. She didn't want to disturb his thoughts, but her thoughts were tempting her to just do that.

Her tempting thoughts where to much for her. She stretched a little so he would know she was waking, she could feel him move slightly to pull away but her leg held him firm against her lower body. She pressed her hand flat against his chest and moved it down and lightly traced the muscles across his body before moving further down.

When Dominic felt her wake, he started to pull away. He didn't exactly want to be caught by her with how hard his cock was right now. It had been painfully hard most of the night, just the softness of her skin and the scent of lavender on her skin and through her hair. Having her so close and not able to touch her was torturous for him. Since the first time he laid eyes on her, he wanted her. But something about her wanting him was more important than what he wanted. He wanted her more than any of the other lovers he had taken in the past. And he promised himself he wouldn't just take her, he would let her get to know who he was. Now that she was part of his army, he knew more than ever he had to take things slow, he didn't want her to run away because he had forced himself on her.

But when she locked her leg around his, he stilled. He looked down to her features to see she was still playing possum of being asleep so he looked up to the ceiling and closed his eyes. His body moved involuntary as did the escape of soft groans from her touch.

When she felt him relax under her soft touch, the little shifts and groans made her smile to herself, and she felt her body reacting to those moans. Her nipples became erect against the side of his body and she felt moisture beginning to pool between her legs. As her hand moved lower over his chest, she pushed her hips against his thigh to let him know what she was feeling as well.

As soon as he felt the heat against his thigh, he moved his leg a little harder against her then started to flex his muscle against it, which made her give him a tiny moan. He continued with the light touches against her back. He kept his eyes closed and allowed her to do whatever she wanted to him.

Her hands moved lower over his abdomen then she hesitated when she felt the soft tip of his hardness. She moved her hand back up and circled his nipples with her fingertips to feel them getting hard from her touch. She opened her eyes to see them hard as she circled them before sitting up a little, resting on her elbow. She watched his chest reacting from her touch and then lent forward and circled his nipple with her tongue which got a sharp moan from him.

The feeling of her tongue touching his skin, sent a fire throughout his body. His hand pressed firmly against her lower back and pulled her hard against his body. He moved his leg a little firmer against her warmth then flexed his thigh muscles more to give her a bit more stimulation.

She started to rock her hips back and forth against his thigh, her tongue continued to circle his nipple as her hand moved back down over his chest. This time, her hand didn't stop and it moved slowly over his hardness and she only stopped when she reached the heavy sacks underneath it.

He let out a deep groan and moved his hips against her touch. His free hand was flat against the bed and clawing at the sheets before gripping the sheets tightly in his fist so he wouldn't move his hand.

She ran her nails over his heavy sacks a few times before moving her hand flat against his cock. Once she got to the tip. She curled her fingers around it and began to stroke him slowly, in time with the movements of his hips.

His body was in sensory overload. None of his lovers in the past had ever made him crave for their attention like Isabella was doing to him now. His breathing became harder and letting deep growling groans escape with his need for her touch. His mind started to falter and quickly placed his free hand over the top of hers that was stroking him. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Unless you want to be taken, my lady, I suggest we stop now," he warned.

She looked into his eyes when he spoke and she nodded a little. She could see him looking at her with lust and need, but also had regret that he thought he was going to take advantage of her. It was her decision to make now. There was only one correct decision in her mind right then. She had started it and now she would finish it. She had known during their first long conversation he had wanted her but he was a complete gentleman to her. He would never push her to sleep with him and that this choice was hers to make.

He could see her mind was ticking over with his words so moved her hand away from him and turned to get up.

She saw him getting up but she wanted this. It felt right for her. So quickly she pulled him back down and when he went to protest, she quickly hooked her leg over both of his legs and sat up on his thighs. She looked at him without speaking and moved her hands to his wrists and forced them to the bed which he allowed her to do, letting him know she didn't want him to leave the bed just yet. Once she felt him relax, she moved her hands to his hands and bought them up with hers, slipping her hands around to the back of his hands and placed his hands on her breasts.

Dominic allowed her to move his body to where she wanted it. She had been the first woman he ever allowed to control his actions. In the past, he would take what he wanted from his chosen lover then kick them out. But with Isabella, he wanted something more from her. As soon as his hands touched her breasts, he squeezed them a little before his fingers begin to tease her nipples.

She took in a sharp breath with his first pinch of her nipples. Her nipples became harder under his touch and she moved her hips a little against his thighs. She released his hands and moved her hands back to his hardness and began to stroke him slowly. She sat up a little and moved his cock back a little to feel the heat coming from between her legs and letting it get the first cover of her moisture before she started to stroke him again.

She watched him close his eyes. She could see a tortuous pleasure crossing his face. She moved a little further up and rubbed his heavy pouches against her heat which made him rock his hips against her, and made him part his legs so he could do it better which made her legs widen a bit more.

She moved her hands to his chest and crept up a bit more and rubbed herself against his straining cock. She moved her hips slightly to catch him at her entrance. She felt him buck his hips but she moved as well so he only had the mushroom head only inside her. Once he had calmed, and looking up with pleading eyes, she moved so he was pointing up to the ceiling and then gave him a wicked little grin before falling down around him, impaling herself around his hardness.

Both weren't expecting the tightness and pain that came from the impaling. She let out a silent scream when he torn her open and he let out a large groan from her tightness. He squeezed her breasts firmly, then moved his hands firmly over her stomach then to her hips and held her there firmly against him.

When he felt her inner muscles flex, he groan loudly and did his best not to move. His fingertips dug into her soft skin. Once they had both seemed to get their breath back under control, they looked at each other and he started to move her up and down along his length, holding her half way along himself and started to buck his hips against her.

Their moans started to fill the room, the passion overload their senses. He moved up into a sitting position and started to pull and push her around his length and kissed her hard and passionately.

Her arms wrapped around his neck and moved her legs quickly to wrap around his waist, holding her body tightly against his as they kissed.

He quickly moved them to the side so he was on top and started to thrust harder. His breath danced across the sweat on her neck as hers did to his. She started to hold him against her tighter then cried out as waves of pleasure crashed throughout her body. Her inner walls pulsating tightly around him which made him cum a moment after her.

He made short, sharp thrusts inside her as they rode the orgasms out. He rested his head on the pillow beside her head. Neither could move, neither wanted to move until he felt his softening cock slip from her body, she untangled her legs and he rolled off of her body. Both seeing stars during the daylight.

Once their breathing was back to normal, he said, "If I die today, I will die a happy man." Then he chuckled and looked over to her. "My Lady, no past lover has ever made me cum like that before." Then he looked back up to the ceiling.

She didn't know what to say so remained silent.

Once he had enough energy back, he rolled onto his side and looked at her. "What is wrong, Bella?"

She shook her head and moved to the other side of the bed to get up slowly. "Nothing, my Lord."

He knew something was wrong so didn't let it rest. "Don't bullshit me." He reached over and pulled her back down in the bed then half laid on her so she couldn't move. "What's wrong?"

She still didn't look at him, she didn't want to show him what she was thinking. She knew from his stories, this was a one time deal and didn't want him to know she wanted more of him than what he could give her. She softly said again, "There is nothing wrong, my Lord."

He knew she was lying but knew she wouldn't tell him until she was ready. He moved off of her and watched her quickly escape, slipping a robe on before leaving his room to go back to her own. He groaned when she left and got out of bed himself and started to clean up. There was a knock at the door and he yelled out, "Enter."

Ter walked in. "Sir, the Vrah council has sent word, saying their going to be here in a few days to see them." He couldn't help but grin when he smelt sex in the room and saw the blood in the bed of virginity being taken. Then he realized that, that would have been why Isabella looked upset. "Did you force the girl, Dom?"
