“I’ve gotten the carriage ready just outside of the house. No one is going to stop us.” Azzie said, going to his room to get his stuff. “Lord Quinn, have you packed your things?”
“Yes.” Quinn nodded, pointing at the 2 rucksacks just beside the couches in the main living room and a third smaller rucksack, which had all the possessions of Alicia. He then looked at Alicia and deadpanned. “With all due respect, you need to get some new clothes after this, we’re not taking any of your clothes with us.”
Alicia blushed and looked away in shame. There was no way she was going to comment on that, all of her clothes had been taken away when she had been enslaved by Vesille. Even before that it wasn’t as if she had a lot of money or possessions either, she was just a teenager that lived in the city and had gotten extremely bad luck.
“Let’s move into the carriage,” Quinn suggested, grabbing every single one of the rucksacks. He was still in his armor, hadn’t even taken out a single piece of it, and was insistent they leave immediately. “Azzie will join us soon enough.”
“Let me, Sir Quinn,” Alicia protested, grabbing one of the bags from his hands. “I need to help as well.”
“Please, as if this needs any help. As of right now, you are a guess of the House of Suthell.” Quinn declared, easily lifting the bags and into the two-horse carriage inside. For the first time, Alicia was looking inside of a carriage and she found it to be the most beautiful piece of invention she had ever seen in her life.
It was covered in velvety protection, of course for the people that would travel inside of it, in the case of a bumpy ride. The wheels of the entire thing looked ready to move and travel at a much faster pace then any human could hope to possess and even the driver’s seat was completely padded to perfection, making it a high-class travel equipment. Azzie didn’t take long, he only had one bag and instantly put it inside of the undercarriage carrier.
“The eight horseriders have already left, they’ll meet us at the port of Menkh, two days worth of travel towards the north. From there we’ll take a ship directly to Drenstan,” Azzie said as he locked the undercarriage. He looked at Quinn for directions, who nodded, undoubtedly not minding the time.
“As fast as possible,” Quinn said, giving Alicia his hand so she could climb into the carriage. Once she was inside of the carriage, Quinn walked inside and closed off the locks of the carriage and closed all the windows and the curtains to give them complete protection. They felt the carriage move and undoubtedly soon enough, they were rushing down the road towards the town of ‘Menkh’.
Alicia was silent, as they were leaving. Her thoughts were whirling on the previous five years of her life, how she found herself trapped by Vesille, her parents being killed and then her turning from a girl to a slave. She found herself unable to think of a situation that was better than this one, unable to even fathom that there would be one day that she would be finally freed from all of her nightmares and finally taken away from Nephlin. Most of all, she was unable to fathom that she was indeed out of the service of the Cyzen family, and there was nothing that Vesille could do about it because he had lost. He had lost against Quinn and in return, he had lost her. She gazed at her new Lord and found her face heating up.
‘I... what is happening to me?’ Alicia thought to herself. ‘What is going on? Why can’t I just think about anything else than him? He’s a noble, he won’t keep me around for long. Once he finds someone more enticing then me, I’ll be replaced. I don’t mind serving him but... why do I feel as if I want to do just more then to serve him? I... I want to be beside him, helping him out in every single one of his tournaments and having a say in his life. I don’t just want to be a servant... I... I love him!’
Coming to that sudden realization, she gazed at Quinn in a new, adoring light. 3 full weeks of conversations with him had made her realize this fact, that he was absolutely amazing. He was kind, caring and at the same time stern and strict. He didn’t like when people didn’t agree with his views, especially on women and children, and absolutely hated the dishonest ones, like that one time when he had asked her if she had eaten all day or not and tried to pass on by lying to him. He had been absolutely catatonic after deciphering the lie and made her promise to never lie to him again. She chuckled at that. At the time she thought she was only making a temporal promise, but now she guessed that all those rules applied to her as well.
“We’re outside of Nephlin now,” Azzie said from the driver's seat. “Everyone was staring at our carriage, as if wanting to peek inside but none of them could as we kept moving. I didn’t see Vesille anywhere, so undoubtedly he’s still reeling back from his shame and loss. I’ll be careful though. Soon enough we’ll be on the road that leads straight to Menkh and I’ll increase the pace at the time.”
“Good,” Quinn said, nodding in satisfaction. Azzie then fell silent and Alicia took a deep breath as she realized it had happened. She was officially out of Nephlin, she was outside of the one place where she never wanted to go again and she would never go again. “Good.”
He smiled at her, waiting patiently to let her catch her bearings and her breath as the girl’s utter outlook on life was destroyed the second Azzie said that. She wasn’t a slave. She wasn’t a servant. She was a person now.
“You know, it is time for you stop calling me ‘Sir’ now,” Quinn said, looking at her in amusement. “You did say to me if you were free you’ll call me by my name. Now that you are free, can you try to at least?”
“I I’ll try my best.” Alicia agreed. “When will we reach Drenston, and what will I do there? I don’t have a home and a place to stay.”
“As long as the Suthell Family has a member, you’ll always be welcomed as a guest and a friend,” Quinn said. “And right now, you’ll be staying with me for as long as you think you want to live. Once you think that you’ve got the right person to live with or the right job to carry out, then you can shift. Even if you don’t want to live with me, as a guest and not as a servant or slave or whatever you call them, I will make arrangements for you to be around me so I can come and check on you.”
“But.... I can’t just do nothing,” Alicia protested. “I need to do something to pass my time.”
The way her black eyes looked at him with sadness and concentration, Quinn sighed, rubbing his face at the look.
“You will do nothing for the first 3 to 4 months you reach Drenston. You’ll learn how to live first. By that I mean you’ll learn about the world, it’s history and geography, natural subjects and mathematics so you can survive. Then I’ll see what type of things you can do and not do, and if you still insist on ‘serving’ me, then I am in the need of a helper whenever I go out for tournaments which I think will fit you perfectly.” Quinn said, looking at her intensely. “But no matter what you chose, I won’t be able to stay away from you, especially now.”
Once again Alicia found herself blushing, she was doing that a lot with him around, and looked away from him, instead focusing on her fingers as their ride took onto a silent tone, her questions answered for now. For the entire day, they were traveling with the chatting kept to a minimum. Both Quinn and Alicia were in their own thoughts, regarding the other person in the carriage, but most importantly were Quinn’s thoughts.
‘Should I do it?’ Quinn asked himself, his eyes not leaving Alicia’s body as she seemed to be too deep into her thoughts, unfocused on anything. ‘She has all the needing abilities and qualities, she is kind, gentle and loving. Sure, she needs to learn a lot of things, but I am sure she can handle it. She’s beautiful and loyal and that is only helping in my decision and I for sure hold enough feelings for her to make the Lady Suthell.’
Shaking his head, he sighed, rubbing his hair to banish the thoughts. Like she would actually want him to do something like that. He gulped, his eyes traveling up her legs and towards her thighs, her plump thighs that were not exactly on view but traced her skirt enough for her to see. Forcefully moving his eyes from her thighs, in
stead, he found himself focusing on her bust, and shook his head. No, Quinn, don’t think all that, please!
His attention was mercifully grabbed when their carriage stopped. The day had turned from the late evening when they had set out of Nephil, after the tournament was over tonight. It was way past dinnertime, but none of them were even remotely close to being hungry. All of them needed to rest after the physically and emotionally draining day, especially Alicia and Quinn, so when they crossed out of the borders of Marqueis and were further inland, Azzie had chosen a small town where he could see a nice inn as their resting place for the night.
So Azzie had hired the last of the room, and he himself chose to sleep in the bar below in the inn so he could have some ‘celebration’ of his own. Considering that it was late at night after the entire tournament was over, and they had nothing to do, Alicia and Quinn decided to spoil themselves a little, or at least Quinn did. Alicia had simply asked for a pair of some casual clothes so she could go to sleep, she really needed the rest.
So at exactly 10:20 PM in the evening, Quinn, after having a nice, grilled chicken for dinner, walked into the room, and looked around. Luckily, he could hear the water in the attached bathroom running and decided to be quick and change his clothes. Just as he was about to remove his pants, the door to the bathroom opened up and Alicia walked out. Their eyes crossed for the littlest of the seconds.
Alicia had taken a nice long bath before coming out, washing away all of her worries and problems. She didn’t expect Quinn to be standing there, neither did she expect him to be removing the last of his pants and stand there in just his underwear, shorts of sorts, with his upper body and much of his body out for a view. And goodness, was it something to look at. Perfectly sculpted muscles, the perfect pectorals, the perfect abs and the perfect broadness, everything was mixed in his body as he looked on dumbly at her.
Similarly, Quinn was focusing more on his new charge’s body and her face. Now that she was out of the outfit of the servant that she had been given, he could get a good, perfect look at her and she was beautiful, perfectly doing good to the number of times he’d called her that. Her pale skin shone slightly in the moonlight, with her body covered by just a towel, hiding her larger than a handful breasts from him. It was perfectly curved, a result of the amount of work she did every day and he wondered if she really ate only 1 time a day. She was amazingly lithe, and smelled great, from a distance.
Now normally Quinn would have turned around, or Alicia would have squeaked and slammed the door to the bathroom shut, but none of them could do anything because they were too immersed in staring at each other to care. Finally, Quinn got up his courage and walked up to Alicia. Her heart thumped with every step he took until he was standing right in front of her, slowly raising his hand to trace her cheek.
Her eyes never left his, black meeting golden brown. Quinn smiled softly, his eyes filled with emotions and glinting with something akin to happiness.
“You know, I might consider myself a noble and honorable man, but you are simply too much for me to just ignore,” Quinn said softly. Alicia’s face was so warm especially with his fingers tracing down her cheek.
“It is strange.” Alicia’s voice was also soft as her hand came up to rest on his bare chest. “I.... find myself with a mutual feeling of sorts.”
It was as if a mutual force and dragged the 2 of them closer, that made their lips meet. First, it was just a soft, simple kiss, a lip lock sharing their mutual feelings for each other, and nothing more, until it did start to turn just more than a liplock.
It started first as a gentle prodding from Quinn, his tongue tracing out of his mouth and along her full lips. Her naturally thick lips were slowly massing his, and they opened up to let his tongue access. It wasn’t just a kiss, Alicia and Quinn both thought, as their arms tightened around each other. Alicia let go of her towel, letting it fall down and reveal her naked body to him which he still didn’t have the pleasure to see, as he was much more interested in just kissing her for now. Her unclothed bust pressed up against his chest, rubbing against his own chest, firm and hardened buds that were on her breasts tracing across his body.
Quinn slowly turned around with her in his arms, so he could lead her towards the bed for a situation such as this only deserved to be completed inside of the bed. On the other hand, he never stopped kissing her, rolling his tongue around her mouth and softly embracing her own sweet appendage. Learning from his actions, Alicia was quick to respond, letting herself being carried and led by Quinn, towards the bed. When the back of her knees hit the bed, she finally parted, her eyes pooled with glittering emotions, her face extremely close to his.
“Please, Sir Quinn, don’t make me wait,” she softly said, and he didn’t even wait. He pushed her onto the bed, watching her fall down and watched her unclothed body for the first time. Larger than average breasts, firm thighs, pale skin and the perfect blush on her face, Alicia lying naked on the bed in front of him was one of the most erotic, and mind-blowing, images he’d ever seen. She tilted her head, beckoning him further as the pale flesh of her uncollared neck was revealed. “And do remove the last of your clothing as well.”
“I told you.” Growling in desire, he was quick to remove his shorts and crawl him, his lips tracing a line all across her shoulder, neck, and cheeks till he reached her lips again. “Call me Quinn.”
And then he captured her lips in his again, this time his hands rolling all over her body. Alicia moaned softly as his hands trailed down her hips and thoughts, slowly gripping her inner thighs, really close to her growing wetness. In return, Alicia slowly wiggled around till her thighs were positioned to lock around his waist, his lips leaving firm but soft kisses down her lips, cheeks, and throat, grasping some of her flesh in the middle of his lips and sucking on it.
“You’re beautiful.” He growled, continuing his affections on her body, his hands slowly parting her legs. His kisses got hotter and wetter as he slowly moved towards her bust. She could feel his long tool, pressed up against her pelvis and by the feel of it, it was quite large. Acting with the flow, her arms, which were on his back, moved, one of them going down towards his manhood and squeezing it into her hands. In her mind, it was almost two handfuls long, easily big enough to satisfy any woman’s needs but in this case, it was her needs. “Divine. Absolutely addictive.”
“*Gasp* It isn’t... My fault that you... cannot keep your eyes away from me.” Alicia moaned as his kisses slowly trailed onto her breasts. He licked around her left nipple, slowly bringing it into his mouth and applying a little suction in it to make her even more aroused. Her maidenhood and womanhood were slowly dripping onto the bedsheets and combined with the affections on her breasts that Quinn was forcing, it was something truly divine for her. “I’ve seen you... *moan* Look at me, you know?! Oh god, just like that!!!”
Giving up to the lust, Alicia moaned, arching her back as slowly one of his fingers had come in to trace her entrance, coating his fingers in her essence. He brought the hand to his lips, stopping his affection on her breasts and sucked on his own fingers to taste her, humming in content at the taste, but it was enough for Alicia. She locked her legs around his hips, forcing him as close to her as possible.
“No more, Quinn,” she moaned out in his ear, his left hand still massaging her other breast. “Take me, make me yours. Please! I don’t want this to end.”
“This doesn’t need to end,” Quinn whispered to her, tracing the tip of his manhood across her entrance, slowly pushing in. He forgot all thoughts about what he wanted to do to her, instead focusing on the pleasure he was about to give her. Alicia moaned as he entered, his wide girth of man meat parting her inner walls to perfection until he reached a barrier. “First time?”
“Yes.” She gasped at the feeling of his length half buried inside of her. “No one was an allowed to touch me before, and no one will ever, not if it isn’t you.”
“Good,” Quinn said, slowly pushing inside further and furt
her until he tore her barrier apart and completely buried himself inside of her. “Because I wasn’t about to admit this was my first time as well.”
His words brought out another gasp from her as he pulled on both of her breasts, his thumb and ring fingers rolling her nipples in between them, slowly pulling on. He was trailing soft kisses and suckles all across her neck and in return she was using her nails to scratch on his back, leaving slight red trails behind. Waiting for her permission to move was the hardest thing that Quinn had ever done, the simple feel of her warm, slick, walls had him wanting to pound inside of her without abandon but he would get the time to do so later on, right now, he needed to love her, he needed to show her what he wanted to give her. Finally, when he felt her slowly buckle against him, he started to move, agonizingly slow for both of them.
“God....” Alicia gasped, cupping his face and bringing it up to her own face. “Go faster. Make me scream.”
Not even caring when she heard such words, he did as she told and got onto a tempo, his erection slowly carving its way inside of its new sheath, plowing her insides roughly and that was what she wanted. Her mouth was open, letting out streams of his name and the words ‘Yes!’ and ‘God!’ again and again as he coupled with her, his lips finding hers again.
“You are mine,” he muttered against her lips. “All mine. Till now, all I have told you was what you can do. You can do this or you can do that, but that is not what I want you to do.”
