Chapter 70: Come Back In One Piece
The guards kept dragging Reynold. His boots were scraping against the wet stone as they pulled him through the side passage.
His arms were locked in their grip as his knees kept hitting the ground each time they just yanked him back up without stopping.
Reynold gritted his teeth as he tried to resist.
"Fu*King move boy.." A kick landed in his ribs.
Reynold grunted and curled slightly but they did not stop dragging him.
The passage was narrow and dark. Water was dripping up from a corner. The sound of it echoed off the stone walls.
Reynold could hear Gift’s voice behind him fading slowly.
"Please.. stop.. please.."
They reached the cellar door.
It was made of iron. It look heavy and dark with rust at the hinges.
One of the guards pulled the bolt and swung it open. The smell that came out from the inside was very ugly.
Two guards grabbed Reynold by the collar and the back of his belt and threw him inside.
Reynold hit the floor hard and the stone tore open his palm.
He felt the sting and the wet of small blood dripping. He gritted his teeth.
The iron door start to swing and the bolt started sliding.
Reynold lifted his head.
His jaw was tight. His torn palm was pressed flat against the wet stone floor.
He could feel his heartbeat in his hand, in his throat, behind his eyes.
"I refused to be weak!
"I refused to be treated like a nobody."
"You are a Starweaver, act like one.."
Something shifted inside Reynold’s chest as he closed his eyes.
He exhaled slowly and then flipped the eyes opened.
At first, it started small like a pull.
Then the sky above the mansion made a loud sound.
The clouds began folding into each other, darkening at the edges and thickening fast.
The wind was moving fast now..
One of the guard had two fingers on the bolt trying to lock the door.
CRACK!
A single strike of lightning came straight down from the sky like a blade being thrown and into the iron door itself.
The bolt blew apart, the door flew and was wrenched completely off one hinge, it spun sideways through the air and landed on the guard full in the chest, sending him crashing back into the passage wall with a grunt.
The second guard grabbed the wall to stop himself from going down.
For a moment there was nothing but the smell of burnt iron and the low rumble of thunder rolling away across the rooftops.
Then Reynold stepped out of the cellar.
He was standing straight now. His eyes moved to the guard still pressing himself against the wall. The guard was breathing fast and staring at Reynold like he had just watched a man walk out of a grave.
"What... what in the..." the guard breathed. "What the hell was.."
Before the guard could finish talking, Reynold reached out and grabbed him by the collar — the same way they had grabbed him.
He dragged the man back up the passage the way they had brought him down. The guard stumbled and tripped and grabbed at Reynold’s arm with both hands but he could not do anything with them. The second guard scrambled up behind them.
Reynold stopped, then turned to looked at the rest.
They froze.
"Crawl," Reynold said..
"What the hell boy...." One of the guard tried to argue.
"I said crawl.." Reynold shouted and the guard was sent flying..
Seeing this, the rest started crawling.
Reynold resumed walking...
The sky outside was was dark now like storm dark. The clouds had come together over the mansion specifically. The wind moving through the yard was cold.
Gift had her mother’s hands in hers.
They had both been watching the sky change since the moment it started, and Gift’s mother had gone very still, her eyes moving from the clouds to the door to the clouds again.
Gift was on her feet.
"Mama," she whispered. "The sky..."
"I see it," her mother said.
Harven was in the middle of the yard with his arms folded across his chest, looking up with a deep frown showing on his face.
"Why is the sky changing?" he said out loud to no one in particular. "If rain wants to fall it can go fall somewhere else. We are in the middle of.."
The door to the side passage opened.
Reynold walked out.
He was still dragging the guard and the rest was crawling. He walked three steps into the yard and then let go of the guard. The guard stumbled forward and landed on the stone floor.
Harven stared.
Then his face darkened in a way that shows he was furious.
He looked past Reynold at the open passage door, then at the guards crawling and moving quickly away toward the far side of the yard.
"Fools," he said through his teeth. "You all could not handle one boy.."
"Harven."
Reynold’s voice sounded through the yard.
Harven’s mouth closed.
Gift’s mother had raised her head. Her eyes were on Reynold and they had not moved away from him since the moment he stepped out that door.
Gift was holding her mother’s hand so tightly.
Reynold looked at Harven.
"Take your things and leave now," Reynold said.
Harven let out a short, ugly laugh. "You are giving me orders? In my house? You little.."
"I will not say it again."
The thunder rolled right above the mansion.
Harven looked up at the sky again then back at Reynold.
For the first time since, real fear flashed in Harven’s eyes but he pushed it back quickly.
Harven breathed out through his nose as he unfolded his arms.
"This is my house now, what are going to do about it, boy?
The sky above gave a low, rolling growl of thunder that landed on the stone floor beside Harven and they cracked.
Harven shifted immediately as he trembled. He stare at the cracked floor and then back at Reynold.
Reynold looked at him back..
Then he said: "Leave now or the next strike will be right on your head.."
Something moved in Harven’s face.
Reynold said again. "Leave right this minute and i don’t want to ever see you here again. And if I ever hear that you are troubling the woman or her daughter again in the future..."
The lightning rumbled again as the clouds above pressed down another inch. The temperature dropped. The torches at the edges of the yard bent sideways..
"...then i will be back," Reynold said, "and I will be frying your head with dragon fire."
Harven was very still.
He was not a coward by nature. He was not the kind of man who got scared easily.
But he was not going to take the risk and get strike by this boy.. Better to leave, go reset and be back.
Harven said said nothing as he turned and walked toward the gate.
Mature Content!!
....
Sable’s moan sounded high and ragged, her throat working around the sound like it was being fucked out of her.
"Val.. fuck..right fucking there.."
The bed frame hammered against the wall with Thump-thump-thump-thump sound that matched the wet slap of Valerius’s hips driving into Sable from behind.
Sable was on her hands and knees, her fingers clawing fistfuls of the rumpled sheet, and her back arched so deep her spine curved like a bow pulled taut.
Her tits was swinging heavily with each thrust.
Valerius’s hands gripped the back of her hips hard enough to leave fingerprints. His jaw was clenched, and his teeth bared as he was letting out a low groan from his chest every time he buried himself to the hilt inside her cunt.
"Fu*k.."
The sight of his thick co*k, slick with her arousal, moving between her swollen lips was intense.
Her body seemed to welcome every movement, her smooth, sensitive skin clinging to him whenever he pulled back.
Each deep thrust made her body tremble slightly.
Sable bucked back against him, fucking herself on his co*k with desperate little jerks. "Don’t stop.. don’t you fu*king stop..I’m gonna come.. Val..."
Her voice cracked. Her thighs trembled.
The muscles in her cunt started fluttering, those involuntary little spasms that milked him, and Valerius leaned over her back, one hand sliding up to fist her hair. He pulled her head back, not gentle, and her mouth fell open on a silent scream.
He growled against her ear.
Her whole body trembled as a powerful wave of pleasure rushed through her.
Her back arched, and she tightened around him as a soft cry escaped her lips.
Warmth was spreading between them.
Valerius kept moving, thrusting a few more times before his own release overtook him and he groaned.
His body tensed as he reached his climax, holding her close while waves of pleasure ran through him.
He buried his face against her shoulder, breathing heavily as they both slowly came down.
Then they collapsed together.
Valerius fell back onto the bed, his chest heaving. His cock slipped out of her with a wet pop, followed by a slow trickle of his seed spilling from her.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Then Sable rolled onto her side, propping herself up on one elbow. Her tongue darted out, and she licked her lips.
She shifted closer, draping herself across Valerius chest, and her fingers traced idle patterns on his chest.
She bit her bottom lip.
Valerius title his head to use the the tiny furrow between Sable brows.
"What is it?"
Sable bit her lip again. Then she exhaled.
"I’m scared, Val." she murmured "I’m fucking terrified. Those forsaken lords, you need to be careful. Promise me you will be fucking careful."
Valerius sniffed. He scrubbed a hand over his face, then pushed himself up to sit. "I’ll be fine."
"You don’t know that..."
"I’ll be fine." He swung his legs off the bed and stood up.
His trousers were on the back of a wooden chair, and he grabbed them.
He slide his leg into the trousers.
Then he reached for his shirt next and put it on.
Sable stare at him as he dress. She then shifted on the bed as she dragged the bedspread up to cover her body.
Valerius finished with the last button and turned.
He walked back to her and his hand cupped Sable chin, tilting her face up, and he pressed his lips on her forehead.
The kiss was soft.
"I will be fine," he murmured against her skin.
He then turned toward the door.
Valerius was halfway through the doorway when her voice stopped him.
"Val."
He glanced back over his shoulder.
Sabel was sitting up now, the bedspread still clutched to her chest.
She bit her lip. "Come back in one piece, you hear me?" her voice dropped to a murmur. "I love you."
Valerius mouth curved into a slow, crooked grin. The kind that had made her fall for him in the first place. "I love you too, Sab.. "I promise.. I’ll be back in one piece."
Then he turned, and the door clicked shut behind him.
