“I’ll have to stay here tonight, I have nowhere else to go” I said, hoping I could have a night of peace away from the chaos. The handsome doctor almost turned white in shock, and stuttered before he could even say anything.
“You can’t, that’s not possible” he said. I was confused; he’d helped me in my time of need but wouldn’t give me his spare bed for the night?
“You have to, that’s an order, I need protection” I’m not sure on whose authority I made that order, but I said it strongly enough. By this time the handsome doctor had calmed down, and had a face that looked like a million thoughts were being processed all that the same time.
“Okay” he said, succinctly, “I’ll work it out”
I didn’t know what he had to work out, but I was thankful for his help. In that moment I was able to calm myself down, and settle in to my surroundings. The pain in my head was easing off, and for the first time in a long while I was able to gather my thoughts. I didn’t know where I was or exactly what I was doing there, but I felt safe. The handsome doctor was my saviour, I still couldn’t figure out how I wasn’t killed by that bear. For now, I was under the protection of a man who I had long desired. He was my hero for the moment, and he certainly looked like one. He was young for a doctor, he could only have been in his mid-thirties. He has chiselled good looks and while not having the biceps of some of the prince’s I’d encountered, he clearly worked out. I imagined his body to be ripped and oozing masculinity. I wanted to get inside of his head, and I wanted him inside of me.
I followed Adam when he went into his bedroom as I wanted desperately to share a moment of passion with him. I looked up at Adam and we shared a passionate kiss, but it was not going to stop there. I sunk to my knees in front of Adam and unbuckled his pants and unbuttoned them. I pulled them, and his underwear, down to reveal a hard cock that must have been all of seven inches in length.
I grabbed the base of his cock and placed my lips over the tip and eased the cock into the back of my throat. Adam let out a moan as he watched me suck his cock below him. I continued to work his cock, stroking it with my hand and massaging the tip with my tongue.
After a heavenly few minutes for Adam, I got to my feet and pulled him back onto the bed in the centre of the room. With Adam now lay back on the bed, I climbed onto him, ready to take his full length into my pussy. I grabbed my panties with my left hand and the base of his cock with my right. I pulled my panties to the side and guided his cock into my now warm, wet pussy. We both let out a moan as Adam’s cock slid all the way in.
I pushed the top Adam was wearing as high as I could to reveal his ripped torso; I placed my hand on his chest as I started grinding my hips on my cock. We were both moaning in pleasure as I switched from rotating my hip to bouncing up and down on his cock. I was barely able to balance myself as the pleasure was overwhelming.
Adam then sat up, with our two chests now upright and pressed together. Adam placed one of his hands on my arse cheek and one on my back as I moved to the end of the bed and stood up with his cock still rock hard in my pussy. Adam walked over to his bedroom wall and continued fucking me against it, as my moans turned into screams of joy. We were in the middle of the dark wood and where was no-one to hear my moans of pleasure.
Adam grabbed me once again, but this time to take me to the bed and place me down. Adam placed my back on the bed and moved both of my legs so they were resting on his shoulders with my feet pressed in against the side of his face. He placed his hands on my hips as he started thrusting his full length in and out of my tight pussy. Adam was going harder and faster and was going as fast as possible when I let out a huge moan as I orgamsed under the sheer enjoyment of being fucked by my hot new lover. Adam released his whole load of cum into my pussy as he collapsed onto me as we embraced on his bed.
It was a quick, hot fuck and exactly what I needed after the madness of the day. It was a huge release from a man who still had many mysteries to tell me. We lay on his bed for a while as we recovered from the sex that we just shared together.
Bella – The reveal
I lay there in blissful comfort with the man who had only just saved me and a man I just fucked. I thought in that moment he was going to let me fall asleep in his arms, but instead he got himself up and sat up at the edge of the bed with a face full of concern. I was wondering what was wrong with the man who just before was so full of joy, but before I had the chance to ask he started speaking.
“If you’re staying here tonight, I need to tell you something” he said in a sombre tone, I was nervous in anticipation about what terrible thing he was just about to say.
“Have you heard about the beast that roams the dark wood?” he asked. My mind was racing with a million possibilities about where this conversation was going. Is that what attacked me last night? Will it come to attack us tonight? I’d always thought it was a local myth, but the expression on Adam’s face quickly made me realise that it was no myth. Of all the possibilities that my mind was trying to come up with, I wasn’t prepared for what he was just about to say after I replied with a simple yes.
“Well, I am the beast” he said. I laughed, almost in shock more than anything. I mean, here was a man sitting in front of me. Was he crazy? He must have anticipated I was just about to have a multitude of questions so he carried on speaking.
“About 10 years ago, I was struck down with a curse that can only be released through an act of true love. As soon as the sun sets, I turn into the beast. At sunrise the next morning, I am transformed back. It’s why I am only ever see you at the castle during the day. And it’s why I have to live out here on my own so that no-one sees the beast that I become” as soon as he explained it, it made sense. It also sparked a memory from the night before, my brain must have repressed it as being a semi-conscious delusion.
“Last night . . . it was you” I said, recalling my patchy thoughts. “The beast who fought the bear last night before it could kill me, that was you.” I could hardly believe it, but the memory that had come back to me made me think that it must be true.
“Yes, that was me” he said, almost looking happier at the fact I wasn’t terrified. “I followed you as soon as you entered the dark wood to make sure you were safe, but I knew I had to make sure you didn’t see me. As soon as you ran away from the bear, I knew I had to act. I thought you’d remember this morning, but you hit your head very hard.”
He told me that I could stay here for as long as I needed too. The telling of his secret seemed to relax him, although he said that he would sleep alone in his room tonight and lock the door behind him. He assured me that I was safe and that becoming the beast doesn’t change his personality. I still felt safe in his company, perhaps even more so after finding out this was the man that saved me last night from the ravenous bear. Even if he wasn’t recognisable as a man when he did so. He was obviously following me in the forest for a while; it felt nice to be protected.
Adam made me something to eat, he was contemplating riding into town to see what the situation was, but didn’t want to leave me alone. We decided it was for the best to wait it out for the day, I wondered if the castle I had called home all my life was still under attack. I wondered how Josh was doing after the split, wondering if he had calmed down. I wondered about George, was he and his father behind the attack? I knew that they didn’t get on, but surely it would have never come to this? I thought about Max, I wondered if he was safe and if he managed to keep under-the-radar and away from the fighting. I wondered if Isaac and Ralph and if they were involved in the fighting, I wouldn’t have to wait a long time for that answer.
Adam was clearly tired, I talked to him more about the curse and how it came to be. He was hesitant, but told me a few details. We then moved on to the more mundane talk, our childhoods and interests. The type of thing you talk about on a first date, it was nice to discuss those things in comfort and away from prying eyes. I lay on Adam as we talked, stroking his bare chest.
He was tired and his eyes were getting heavier and heavier, on the verge of falling asleep. I knew it was late, and I knew he would have wanted me to wake him so that I didn’t see the beast he’d become. The curiosity got the better of me however, and I couldn’t help but let him fall into a deep sleep.
As soon as the sun set, I could see the transformation happen before my eyes. The chest I had been resting on grew larger and larger, as the arms started to grow thicker and hairier. The claws grew out from his fingers, and the fangs grew large from his teeth. The horns grew out of his head and everything became bigger and thicker until with a flash of light, the transformation was complete.
This 6ft tall, beautiful man was now this 8ft beast stood before me. The transformation naturally woke him up and we was horrified about the fact that I could see him. I was just stood there in wonder at what just happed.
“Don’t be scared” said Adam, strangely I wasn’t. He had talked me through it and clearly it was him behind the mask of the beast. I approached in cautiously and touched him, almost to confirm it was real.
“It’s fine, I’m not scared, let’s go back to bed” we were both tired.
“Thank you” said Adam, who was obviously apprehensive about someone seeing him in the beast form for the first time whilst knowing who the human was behind it.
“Nothing to thank me for” I said back to him, as my heartbeat returned to normal following the shock of the transformation.
He lay down on the bed and a lay there with him; I put my head on his chest as we both fell asleep. He seemed peaceful that I had reacted so well to his secret; it was obvious now why he didn’t want me to stay. I could have laid there all night, but my world was once again about to be rudely awakened.
Bella – The rude awakening
I awoke to the front door of Adam’s house being flung open. In poured a number of men including Isaac and Ralph. We were both startled out of bed, but not as startled as they were at seeing the beast. Before I could explain why they shouldn’t be alarmed, Isaac shouted “kill the beast!” as the soldiers in the house pulled back their bows and shot a flurry of arrows into the beast.
I let out a huge cry of “No!” at what had just happened and I was in shock. “You have to save him” I shouted at the two brothers. I was grabbed by the men and taken away from what they thought was danger. I wanted to try and explain, but I knew it was a waste of time. They did what they thought was right and any truth from me would be taken as ramblings from a terrified woman.
They tried to clothe me and feed me, but I didn’t want their help and was crying at the loss of a man they had no idea I’d just lost. I regained my composure to hear what they had to say. I was informed that the battle with the Gattzam was won, but we’d sustained losses and that patrols were sent out to ensure my safety and bring me back to the castle.
“As soon as our father heard about the attack, he sent us to help” said Isaac. “We’ve always had a bad relationship with Gattzam and we weren’t going to stand back and let them take over your castle” he continued. It made sense, they were the most unpopular kingdom in the land and stopping their expansion was in everyone’s best interest.
The brothers told me that they had been driven back to their kingdom, but might strike again. As soon as the fighting was over, patrols were sent out for me to try and find out where I had gone.
I asked them how they had found me in the middle of the dark wood. They said that no-one else wanted to go in there for fear of meeting the beast, but Josh had told them that I knew my way through it and that I may have hidden in there. I asked about Josh and how he had been doing. They said that he had forgiven me, but still didn’t want to see me. He had fought at the castle, but had gone back home once the fighting was over.
“Who died?” I said, as my concern immediately turned to everyone in the castle and more specifically to Max and John. They said that no-one notable had died, but losses were minimal. So John was alright, I thought, but I’d have to wait and see to check if Max was fine. He should have stayed out of the fighting, but I know what he was like. The castle remained intact for now, but everything was still uncertain. We didn’t have the biggest army, but it was big enough. My concern was a question that I needed an answer to.
“Who killed my father?” I asked, wanting closure on the incident. “It was the King of Gattzam”, said Ralph. He went onto explain that they had captured one of their soldiers and obtained all the information. He said they had been planning an attack for a while, but wasn’t sure when they were going to execute it. The confusion after the wedding was a perfect opportunity. They saw my father leave on his own and decided to ambush him, and stage it as a robbery so they could give themselves time to prepare their army.
I believed what Isaac and Ralph were telling me, but I was obviously suspicious. The last time I had seen these two men, I was just about to abandon their brother at a church. Why would they help me? I could see why they would not want the Gattzam kingdom to thrive, but why not take the castle themselves? I know they had a great relationship with my father, but the thirst for power does funny things to people. I wondered if they were actually taking me back to my castle, or somewhere else. As far as it looked right now, they had come to save me, so I’d wait and see before making any more judgements.
My initial fears were put to one side as I was clearly being taken to my castle. Riding over the drawbridge I could see that it was bloodstained. There were bodies to be seen, but thankfully they were dressed in Gattzam uniform. Then again, any of our men would have been taken away first out of respect. I still wondered what the true losses were. Isaac and Ralph dropped me at the castle before riding back to their kingdom.
I wondered if John was okay and if Max was still alive. I wouldn’t have to wait long to wonder about John. He was there to greet me as I stepped down from the carriage. There wasn’t a mark on him, not a blemish on his clothing and there was a smile on his face. Of course he looked like that, he was a gentleman, but also a ferocious and skilled fighter.
“Nice to see you alive and well” he said to me.
“And you too” I replied. I hadn’t done any of the fighting, I’d run away. It may have been for the best, but I felt like a fraud. “Is Max okay” I whispered to John, weirdly he was the only person in the castle aware of my affection towards him.
“He’s fine, all the servants were untouched” he said. I breathed a sigh of relief. I needed to inspect the castle and see what damage was done. The people seemed uplifted by seeing my face. It was as though I bought hope to the place. They had repelled the attack and the place was in high spirits, despite a few losses. There was still a lot to be done though. We had to repair the castle, build up the army and make sure the whole land knew we were no longer an easy target.
We knew that the Gattzam may attack again, they were surely all or nothing. They had to retreat and lick their wounds and rebuild, but there was no coming back from a failed attempt. If we couldn’t attack them soon, someone else surely would, knowing they were weak. We couldn’t do it just yet, and may have more battles to fight first.
Josh’s kingdom still seemed like our closest allies and George’s kingdom seemed reluctant to make the step to invade, we may be safe for now. For any other kingdom to invade, they’d have to go through one of the three that surrounded us. That was unlikely, but if someone exterminated the Gattzam then it was possible. For now, castle life was more optimistic. Before they were scared of being invaded, it happened, and we’d won, with a little help from our friends.
At this very moment though, we were vulnerable. The army was bruised, bloody and low on numbers. I was in charge and needed to make clear decisions. The girl who was unhappily trapped in the room under her father’s command had quickly turned into a woman. With the help of John by my side, I was confident that our castle could survive this moment in time. There was still going to be many challenges to come however, and if the fight was to return to the castle,
I wouldn’t be running away this time.
Bella – Uninvited guests
We were repairing the castle and treating the soldiers when there was a cavalry headed over from the valley. At first it was feared we were under attack again, but it soon became clear that it was only a small bunch of troops heading to the castle. We wondered who they were until they got closer; it was Isaac, Ralph and a group of soldiers heading on their way. Given the way they had helped out during the battle, we weren’t going to be turning them away. We let them into the castle to see what the meaning of the visit was.
“Hello Isaac, Ralph, for what is it I owe this pleasure” I said in a suspicious tone. There was still tension there from what happened with Josh, so I was wary of being too welcoming.
“We’ve been sent by my father to help protect the castle.” He said, which seemed like a very noble deed.
“I’m sure we’ll be quite fine on our own” I said, knowing that, while we were vulnerable, I didn’t want it to be seen that the castle needed help.
“My princess, if any of the other kingdoms attack now, you’d stand no chance” he said. I thought no chance was overstating the case as we were still strong, but he had a point.
I consulted with John about the idea. He told me that we could be okay if we were attacked again, but it wasn’t a risk worth taking. He stated that we should swallow our pride for now and accept them into the case. John was suspicious too. It was seemingly an act of kindness, but an act of kindness between kingdoms was rare. It was an olive branch that we were going to have to accept with trust. The business with Josh always played on my mind however, his lack of appearance hinted that behind the scenes things weren’t as peaceful as they appeared.
