I sat down in front of the fireplace after tossing a few more logs onto the pile. We were running low again, which meant we were going to have to sacrifice our lives to get more. Every time we had to leave the castle to get more supplies from the surrounding forest, our rose wilted and we started to get sick. If we returned, it would come back to life, but as one unfortunate beast had demonstrated when he tried to escape, death was a certainty if we stayed gone for too long. All it would take was an injury or a wolf attack that we weren’t prepared for and our life would be over if we didn’t make it back in time. I heard footsteps coming from the direction of the east wing and when I turned towards the noise I was put on guard immediately.
“Who the hell are you?” I jumped to my feet and prepared to fight. “Wait—Alexander?”
“Indeed.” He smiled and walked over to the fire. “It is quite cold without my beard.”
“You no longer look like a beast.” I raised my eyebrows. “You look normal.”
“I had forgotten there was a man underneath that muck.” He shook his head and walked over to a broken mirror that had been shattered as long as I lived there. “At least I will leave this world wearing the face of the man I was before I was cursed.”
“I guess we should all be so lucky.” I let out a sigh and walked next to him, tugging at my hair and beard.
“Anabelle is an amazing woman. I was wrong to put her in a cage.” He turned towards the kitchen where I saw Randall and Boone staring at us in shock.
“You’ve claimed her then?” I walked back to my chair.
“She isn’t mine to claim. I will not keep her here in this castle any longer. If she wants to go, she can go back to her family.” Alexander walked back to the fire. “I ask that you honor that wish if I am gone before she is. I will not hold her prisoner, but I do hope she remains until my days are at an end.”
“Of course.” I nodded my head in confirmation.
“I’m not leaving.” I heard a voice behind me and turned to see Anabelle walking into the room. “When I was in that cage, all I wanted was freedom, but now that I am out—I don’t want to leave this place.”
“You’re not cursed.” Alexander’s brow came together with a hint of unhappiness on his face. “You can go back to your family.”
“I will miss my family, but I feel like I was brought here for a purpose.” She walked over to me. “When I saw the man behind the beast in Alexander, I realized that all of you are suffering the same fate. The witch cursed you and sent you to this place, but you became beasts because you had nothing to live for.”
“It’s true...” Alexander nodded and sighed. “Now that I finally have something worth living for, my days are at an end.”
“I don’t want you to be the only one.” She looked around the room. “I want to bring all of you back from this madness you’ve endured while living under the witch’s curse. It’s how I will repay what my father did.”
“You’re serious?” Alexander raised his eyebrows and she walked over to him.
“It is how I will honor your memory.” She lifted on her toes and pressed her lips to his for a quick kiss.
“You have been like family to me.” Alexander turned to the rest of us. “Anabelle is not mine to claim and we have shared everything since you arrived. If this is what she wants, then I believe we should consider it.”
“You don’t have to share me.” She smiled and shook her head. “We will live together as a family—just like you said. All of us will be joined as one.”
“As long as you are in this castle, no harm will come to you.” Boone nodded and walked into the room. “When Alexander is gone, we will continue to take care of you as our way of honoring his memory.”
“Come...” She extended one hand to me and another to Alexander. “Let me show you the man beneath the beast like I did for Alexander.”
“Okay...” I felt my mouth drying up for the first time in what felt like eternity.
Randall and Boone walked back into the kitchen as Anabelle led us to the east wing of the castle. I had seen the room she took us to, but I hadn’t put much thought into it.
Alexander told me a story of the woman he thought lived there at one time, but it was all just fantasy in his mind from years of living alone. Alexander and Boone were already beasts that barely resembled men when I came and although I tried to keep my humanity for a while, I soon lost focus of it and drifted into the same madness that consumed them. We took turns hunting for a while, keeping ourselves alive with what we could find.
Time lost all meaning and we thought we would be the only ones there until the twins came. They rejected us at first and secluded themselves in the west wing of the castle, but eventually they had to join us to forage for food. When Randall came and showed us new ways to grow and find food, they had come to love their lives as savages so much they returned to the west wing and never returned. I assumed they were still there since their conjoined rose was still on the vine, but it had been a long time since we had seen them.
“Now I remember why I quit doing this...” I chuckled as I brought another bucket of water down the hallway.
“It will be worth it, trust me.” Alexander patted me on the back and followed with a second bucket. It took a number of trips before the tub was finally full.
“It is ready.” Anabelle started to remove my cloak and I stared at the steam rising from the water.
A loving touch from a woman was one of the first things I missed when I arrived at the castle, but it wasn’t the witch’s embrace I wanted to return to. I would have taken the stone walls and the cold over ever seeing her again. The ironic thing was that by cursing me and sending me away she did the one thing I was trying to accomplish to begin with—I was no longer under her spell.
Anabelle’s hand were amazing on my body when I was fully undressed. Alexander sat on a chair while she took care of me and scrubbed away the years of disgust caked on my body. The scent of the soap brought back memories of the first bath I had at the castle when I found the room with the tub. Once my body was clean, she started working on my hair, trimming away the long blond mop that had fused with my beard. Just having it gone made me feel refreshed with the weight of it no longer on my head. I finished cleaning myself once she was done with my upper torso and when I stood up in the water, I was amazed at the sight of the man I had forgotten in the mirror.
“Well aren’t you a handsome sight.” I grinned and felt some of my old cockiness returning.
“Yes, you are.” Anabelle walked up behind me. “But is there more to the man than just a silly smile?”
“Baby, you have no idea.” I leveled my gaze at her. “If I had a deck of cards, I’d play you for your panties—and I’d win.”
“You wouldn’t have to. I’m not wearing any.” She slowly pulled her dress up her thigh until I could see the curve of her hip.
“Believe it or not, she was a virgin until I got my hands on her.” Alexander stood and walked over to us.
“You awakened something inside me.” She reached back and put her hand on Alexander. “I want more.”
“Both of us?” I raised my eyebrows.
“Yes.” She nodded and bit down on her lip.
Chapter 9: Anabelle
I didn’t understand the growing need inside my body. I was so shy before I came to the castle, yet I was in the middle of two men and begging for them both to take me to bed. It was like a faucet I couldn’t turn off. I didn’t want to be separated from Alexander, but I wanted Gill to enjoy the same pleasure I had seen raging on Alexander’s face. Gill didn’t seem to mind that Alexander was joining us and Alexander was already kissing my neck. Gill leaned down and let his lips lightly graze mine for a moment. I thought it was a sweet gesture, but it was just the beginning.
Once he had a taste, he was a little more forceful, and he flatted my lips against his. He drew me in for a kiss that sent fireworks exploding in my head. It was different from Alexander, but it was just as passion
ate. Alexander worked to remove my dress for the second time and when it was the floor, his hands were exploring my body while Gill’s did the same. They ravaged me with their kisses covering my skin before they started leading me back to the bed where the stains of my virginity were still present on the wolf pelt covering the straw.
“It has been so long that I might not last a minute.” Gill chuckled and pushed me towards the bed.
“Take your time, I’m sure I can find something else to keep me busy.” Alexander ran his fingers across my lips and leaned against my ear. “I want to feel your delicious lips on my cock.”
I nodded—after what he had done for me, it was hard to even consider denying his request. I could show both of them pleasure at the same time. I crawled onto the bed and Gill got behind me while Alexander took a position in front of me. I dropped to all fours and felt Gill’s cock against my pussy. The thought of having him inside of me made me get wet again, even before he started moving his cock along my labia and dragging it across my clitoris. Alexander was hard, already breathing heavily as he stroked his enormous cock. I leaned forward and started to kiss the side of it as Gill pushed his way into my pussy. It was sore from my experience with Alexander, but it didn’t hurt nearly as bad as it did the first time.
He worked his cock in a little faster than Alexander did, but he still struggled with my tightness. I started to cover Alexander’s cock with my saliva as I moved along the shaft and back to the glans. I opened my mouth wide and swirled my tongue around the head in a circle, pulling him between my lips. He let out a gasp when I started to suck on the glans. Gill’s started to grunt as he pushed with a little more force and sank his cock into me. I felt his hips against my ass and then he started to withdraw and thrust himself all the way in for the second time.
“Maybe I’ve got more than a minute in me.” Gill put his hands on my ass and started to thrust faster. “This is just too good to rush.”
“If I could last long enough to give the lady the satisfaction she needed, you can do it too. I’ve been here much longer than you have.” Alexander ran his fingers through my hair and groaned when I pulled him further into my mouth.
Alexander’s cock was so large that it was hard for me to get it between my lips, but once my jaw had adjusted to his girth, I started pleasuring the bottom of his dick with my tongue. He squeezed my hair in his hand and started to push himself in further as I ran my tongue along the bottom of his shaft. I could tell he was hungry for the same feeling he had when he was inside of me and I was eager to provide it.
The distraction from Gill was making it more difficult than I imagined. His cock was already deep inside of me and teasing my g-spot with every thrust. He was able to get a faster pace much quicker than Alexander since he wasn’t the first man inside of me. The sensations were sending my body into the depths of pleasure again even as I tried to focus on Alexander. I kept my jaw loose and let him take control of my mouth. My tongue moved against his shaft as much as it could with his enormous dick going further into my throat. He finally got enough of himself past my lips that he was able to enjoy the strokes as he pulled back and drove his cock across my saliva coated tongue again and again.
“This castle might actually become tolerable now...” Gill squeezed my ass as he continued to hammer his cock into my pussy.
“I fully intend to enjoy this beautiful woman until I draw my last breath.” Alexander pulled back to my lips and shoved his dick deep into my throat.
Being sandwiched between the two men with my pleasure erupting like a volcano inside of my body had made me temporarily forget about Alexander’s fate. I had to refocus once again and I swallowed more of his cock. If I had a short time with him, I wanted to enjoy every single second that I could and make sure he felt as much passion as he had shown me. My body was begging for the same release I had felt earlier with Alexander, but Gill showed no sign of slowing down. He was definitely going to last a lot longer than he originally thought.
I swallowed more of Alexander’s cock as he went deep in my throat, wanting to feel every inch being used to satisfy his craving. After a few dozen more trips across my tongue, I finally managed to swallow his entire length and his pelvis pressed against me. He kept it there until I was almost gagging and then pulled back to hammer it deep into my throat again. I could feel him throbbing and his motions got faster. The grunts coming from his lips were hurried, matched only by the moans that were rising up in my throat each time Gill slammed his dick into my pussy.
Oh my god, I’m about to cum.
My muscled tensed and I had to fight everything inside of me to keep my mouth relaxed so I could accommodate Alexander’s lust. Gill was more reminiscent of beast than man as he growled with satisfaction while he fucked me. I could feel both cocks pulsating, close to the same release that was nearly tearing me apart inside. Gill’s erratic thrusts as he entered the throes of his release sent me over the edge. I felt my body shaking as my muscles tightened to the point they almost cramped. The release rushed from my body and made my pussy spasm on Gill’s cock, which only seemed to heighten his lust. I felt him begin to ejaculate inside my pussy, each thrust being guided by the spasms he had created. It seemed like he was going to go on forever before he was finally spent. My body continued to convulse, but a relaxing feeling finally settled over me when my orgasm ended. Gill removed his cock from my pussy and I was finally able to focus only on Alexander. I reached out and took his balls in my hand, squeezing and caressing them while he continued to throb in my throat.
“I can’t live my life without that...” Gill collapsed onto the bed. “It was easy to forget it as time went on, but it was everything I needed.”
The added stimulation seemed to make Alexander’s desires grow stronger. He held my head with both hands and drove his dick into my mouth until I could feel him pulsating. I massaged his balls lightly, even as he destroyed my lips like a savage with his lust. I felt the tension in his balls build up and then I felt them start to twitch. Cum rushed through his shaft and it was the only warning I got before he started to explode in my mouth. I tasted the saltiness on my tongue for a moment before he drove his cock into my throat and began to empty his seed. I swallowed the geyser of his pleasure and felt him finally begin to release his grip on me. He pulled back against my lips and I licked the glans one last time, sucking on the tip until there was nothing left but my saliva. He sank into the bed and my tired body was finally able to collapse forward. Gill crawled over and wrapped his arms around me as I snuggled against Alexander’s chest.
I had never felt so safe or protected in my life as I did with two powerful men holding me in their arms. I didn’t want to leave the castle and I certainly didn’t want to lose Alexander’s embrace. He had shown me needs that I didn’t know could exist, and before I would be able to fully enjoy them, he would be gone.
ALEXANDER AND GILL brought me some food after we stayed tangled in our embrace for a couple of hours. I wasn’t aware how hungry I was until I saw the plate being brought through the door. I practically devoured the meal without thinking, pushing bites of bread and meat between my lips and swallowing them before they were fully chewed. My time locked in passion with them had left my body weak and I still wasn’t completely recovered from barely eating while I was in the cell. As much as I wanted to show Boone and Randall the magic I had shown the two men sitting in the room with me, I knew I would have to rest before I was ready to tame more of their carnal desires. After my food was done, Alexander and Gill emptied the tub and filled it again. I wondered if they expected me to continue going even though I was exhausted, but when they led me to the steaming water, I realized it was for me. I climbed inside and sank into it until my nose was nearly level with the surface of the water.
“You did such a good job washing away the beasts we had become, I think we should show you that we actually can be civilized.” Gill rubbed the soap between his hands until it had built up a lather and started massaging it into my back.<
br />
“That feels good.” I smiled when his powerful hands started to knead the muscles that had been cramped inside the cage for weeks.
“I’m sorry I won’t be around to do this every day.” Alexander took my arm and lathered it up with the bar of soap.
“Me too...” My thoughts drifted as they massaged and washed me.
WHEN I WOKE UP THE next morning, Alexander and Gill were still asleep on the bed. I carefully stood up and found a new dress in the wardrobe that I could wear. It was similar to the auburn dress, but it was blue and had a little more width on my hips. I was thirsty and the only water in the room was in the tub, so I started walking down the hallway to the main part of the castle. I could smell food cooking and it had a wonderful scent—I could even detect garlic and onion in the air, but they had a wilder aroma than what I was used to at home. I found Randall in the kitchen, busy stirring a pot of stew. He acknowledged me with a nod of his head and continued stirring. He lifted the spoon to his lips for a moment and then started to add some more vegetables to the mixture.
I poured some water into a metal cup and sat down at the table, sipping it as I watched him. There was more finesse in the way he carried himself. His hair and beard wasn’t as long as the others had been, but it was matted up a lot more with dirt and debris he had never removed. He finally got the stew boiling and walked over to fix a glass of water for himself.
“I’m sorry we couldn’t be together last night.” I watched as he walked over and sat down at the table.
“It’s okay.” He shrugged. “I’m not entirely sure about this whole thing.”
“You haven’t been here long, have you?” I tilted my head and studied his expression. “You don’t look like the rest—there is less wildness in your eyes.”
