Her mother had been very mad at her father that night. She had said many things that Sarah didn’t want to recall. They had hurt her too much at that time, so why relive them?
But now she had the upper hand in all of this. Her father had got the marriage he wanted for their status, and her mother had gotten rid of her. She had been waiting for this time for so long, she almost missed the thought of not going home with them.
However, when she thought of her life, she knew she didn’t miss it, and never would.
Chapter 3
“You want to get out of here?” Colin leaned over and whispered in her ear.
Sarah looked up at him and shook her head yes. “Please, I’m so tired of all of this.”
Colin took her hand and pulled her out the door. He made short work of their exit of the hall. He said good bye to only two people. She had been impressed on his quick strategy to get them out of the event.
He wanted nothing more than to get her into a closed room. But she wouldn’t be wearing those clothes for long once they were alone. The last few hours had been amazingly painful for Colin. He had gone from excited to trying to keep calm far too many times.
“Where are we going?” She asked him.
“The quickest place I can think my room.” He said and pulled her along.
He felt a slight hesitation in her movement, but then she followed him. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know how else to keep them from circling us again.” It had been true, he felt like he was at the middle of an entertainment show for the day.
“No I’m okay; I just want to get out of there.” She said.
“Here it is.” He said and opened the door for her.
Colin looked at her as he closed the door. He saw the blush spread over her face once more. There was no need for him to hide how he felt behind closed doors.
“Come here.” He demanded.
Though she didn’t want to react, she instinctively moved towards him. He lowered his mouth to hers and pulled her closer. He squeezed her and ran his hands over her figure, it was nice.
“Let me get this dress off of you.” He stated.
As he pulled roughly at the dress she pulled back and said. “Please be careful this is the only nice dress I have.”
“I’ll get you more.” He growled, but slowed down and was more careful with the fabric of the dress.
Colin got frustrated several times as he had a problem with the knots.
“Here, please I’ll help you.” Sarah finally said.
In just a few minutes she was naked in front of him. He whistled in appreciation. “You are beautiful.”
He picked her up and moved her to the bed. Lowering her down softly he kissed her again, and let his hands roam over her body. He stopped at her breasts and played with the ample mounds of flesh. Colin placed his mouth around her nipple and lightly pulled his teeth across it.
She yelped in surprise. “Do it again.” She said.
Colin gladly did so this time with her other nipple. Sarah moaned loudly.
He wanted to explore more of her body though, so he lowered his mouth to her mound. Sarah begged him to come back to her nipples for only a second. As soon as he licked her slit with his tongue and sucked on her clitoris she moaned loudly.
“Don’t stop, please do that more.” She moaned out. Colin lashed his tongue back and forth on her cunt. He stuck his tongue into her and moved his fingers on her clit. He felt her body hump his face.
Colin could tell she was getting close to orgasm. He sucked up her clit and nibbled on it lightly. She jumped and her body shook all over as the climax shook her. Colin drank up her juices.
He wanted nothing more than to put his cock into her now. He put the tip close to her opening.
“Have you ever had sex?” He asked before pushing.
She shook her head no.
“I’ll be careful don’t worry.” Colin said to her.
Being careful he pushed into her a little at a time and then would pull back out. Soon he was all the way in, and he held his cock in place. He made it jump inside of her and heard her moan.
Sarah was moving in rhythm with him, her moans becoming louder and louder. He put his thumb on her clit and moved it around as he thrust into her. They both went a little faster and he could feel his orgasm building.
He was trying to hold back so that she could climax once more. Colin was having a hard time though; she was wrapped so tightly around his hard cock. It was that thought that sent him over the edge and he shot a load into her pussy.
She moaned out loudly and he could feel the walls of her pussy as it pulsed in another climax. She yelled out and kept moving her body, driving his cock in and out of her hole. Then she was shaking as her whole body froze and she let go completely.
Colin rolled off of her and lay on the bed beside her. “It didn’t hurt did it?” He asked, realizing that he wasn’t sure how easy he had been on her at the end.
“Not much, just a little bit.” Sarah sighed.
He could hear pleasure in that sigh, and smiled. Colin kissed her. “So tell me about your father thinking I’m the king’s son?” He asked.
Sarah laughed and told him the whole story of her childhood. Well she did leave out a few parts of the story. Not telling him about her mother and how Sarah would get beaten.
“He has always been a man who wanted to be high up in status. I’ve never understood it myself though. In fact, I’ve often hated this whole society thing.” Sarah admitted during the conversation.
“But he thinks I’m the king’s son?” He asked again.
“I guess so, I thought you were too.” Sarah admitted. “That’s why I didn’t talk to you. I was trying to make you pay for this marriage.”
“How were you going to do that?” Colin asked.
“I didn’t know yet. Not talk to you, and I don’t know what else.” Sarah shrugged her shoulders. She knew her plan sounded flimsy, but it was all she had.
Colin started to laugh then. “It would be kind of funny to see their faces when they found out I was just an orphan boy that the king raised.”
“What?” She asked.
“He found me when I was a bit older. Well I found him. It really is a longer story. But in the long run, he took me in and raised me. So I do consider him my father. But I’ve learned to grow up in the streets most of my life.” He told her.
Someday he might share the full story with her. But right now his mind was still trying to clear off the haze of left over sexual energy.
“By the way what did you mean when you said I wasn’t what you had expected?” She asked him about his comment at the ceremony.
“Well honestly I expected you to be very demanding and telling me that if I didn’t do something exactly as you wanted. That you would tell your father or the king and I would be punished. But you didn’t say anything at all. Now that I know you were planning to make my life hard, I might change my opinion a bit.” Colin laughed, hoping that she wasn’t still thinking the same way.
“I’m not still thinking that way though.” She said, grabbing his attention.
“Good I’m glad to hear that!” Colin said.
She laughed at him. “You really think I would still be thinking that way after?”
“I’m sorry my mind isn’t fully with me right now. No I don’t think that.” Colin stated.
“Good I’m glad to know that.” Sarah smiled at him.
Colin thought that this might be a marriage well worth being commanded to do. He had a feeling that it might work out to be something really amazing. He kissed her deeply and made love to her once more. After they lay wrapped up with the blankets over their bodies. They fell asleep in each other’s arms.
Chapter 4
Sarah looked over at her husband, Colin McGrath. She was proud of him; they had been married for about six months now. The time had flown by for both of them.
“Hard to believe we’ve been married this long!” He said to her smiling.
<
br /> “Do we have to go to see them today? We’ve avoided them this long.” Sarah asked Colin.
“I know you don’t like your parents. I promise we won’t see them often at all. They won’t have us over but every once in while anyway. It will most likely be when someone new is around them. Someone they feel it is important to impress.” Colin stated. He had learned a lot about Sarah and her parents over these months.
She had told him about everything in her life, including the fact that her mother had beat her often. Sarah hadn’t hid anything from him, once she trusted and loved him.
“Alright, but I’m only doing this for you, not them.” Sarah finally agreed to go peacefully.
“Thank you my love.” He kissed her. “Plus I’m sure once they hear you are pregnant they’ll want to avoid much communication. After all, that would mean having a small child around them. You’ve told me how they both were in that type of situation.” Colin stated.
Sarah had to agree with him there. “They definitely don’t want little kids around them. I can’t tell you how many times I saw them as a small child. I honestly thought the maid was my mother until I was like 7 years old.” She said.
“I know that’s why I figured we would break the news early, so we don’t have to stay long!” Colin laughed.
“Perfect!” She laughed.
“Come on we have to go the driver they are sending is almost due.” Colin said.
Sarah got up reluctantly. But then smiled at the thought of the news they would ruin her parent’s day with!
It all happened so quickly Sarah wasn’t sure what was going on, but the next thing she knew she had something covering her eyes. She had seen Colin fall to the ground as someone had hit him with something from behind.
The coach had been somewhere in the woods, between their home and where her parents lived. They had been stopped and attacked by a group of men. She didn’t even know if Colin was alive or not. She felt them pick her off the ground; she could feel the horse under her.
There was a man on the saddle behind her. He held her tightly. She flinched as their skin touched.
“What are you doing?” She cried to the person who was on the horse with her.
“Shut up now. Once we get the money you can go back home.” The gruff male voice said.
All she could think was, wait until they find out he’s not the king’s son and we have no money. Well not the money they were thinking, Colin and her had some, but not enough. If he is even alive, she thought.
Sarah began to cry lightly, hoping that he was okay.
Chapter 5
Colin came too slowly. His head hurt badly. “What happened?” He tried to clear his head and remember. Then his eyes shot open, he looked around for Sarah. “Sarah, where are you?” He called out.
He looked around; there was a dead guy on the side of the road. It was the driver who had picked them up. The wagon was gone, he didn’t know if it had been stolen, or the horses simply ran off with it. Colin panicked looking all over for Sarah, calling out her name.
He wasn’t sure how long he had been out for either. He looked up in the sky; it must have been for a few hours now. He rubbed the back of his neck once more. There was a big lump forming where he had gotten hit in the head from behind.
They had ambushed the coach as it had stopped for a minute. The driver had claimed he needed to take a quick break. Colin wasn’t sure if it had been a planned attack or not. Something about it seemed so orchestrated.
But where was Sarah. He looked around for her frantically. They had to take her, his mind screamed out. But he wasn’t ready to admit it. He knew that it was the case, before his heart finally accepted the answer that his mind had already known.
He hung his head; they most likely took her off to kill her after raping her. Colin’s body shook with a deep rage. Clearing his mind he began to think of those skills he had used so long ago.
Those two men he had stopped from attacking the king he had tracked them around for months. He had followed them, without them even being aware of it. This time he would have to track these people quicker, but he knew the skills were still in his mind.
Colin knew that this time love would drive him to this. He would save Sarah and his child if he had to lay down his life to do it.
Clearing his mind he looked around again, looking for telltale hints. He noticed first the tree branches that had been bent as a person rode through a narrow area of the forest. It was a different position than most people would go, so it could be someone who was in a hurry to get away with something they shouldn’t have. In this case that would be his wife Sarah and their unborn child.
He moved along the forest floor quickly and silently. Colin had his claymore on his side; thankfully, they hadn’t searched the wagon and found his weapon. He quickly picked up all the old tricks he remembered from doing this as a child. Plus the fact that he had advanced that skill over the years.
The king had often complemented him on his skills of tracking people. He had become known as a great warrior among the men. But mostly he had become known as the man who could silently sneak up on just about any enemy they had faced so far.
Colin knew in order to do this though, he would need to keep his mind focused and not get upset. He kept thinking about Sarah and hoping her and the baby were okay. He could feel his anger threatening to boil over every few minutes.
But that would lead to mistakes, and if he messed up too much, Sarah and the baby might die. Whoever had taken her would have to kill him in order to stop him. However, he didn’t want them hurt in the process. He loved Sarah so much, and his unborn child. He was looking forward to being a father so much.
He didn’t know how far they might be by now. As long as Sarah was safe he would be good. After about three miles he saw smoke coming up through an opening in the forest. It wasn’t far away; it could be a cabin where they have Sarah. He would approach carefully and quietly.
Colin moved up to some covering and spotted a small cabin in the distance. There was one horse tied up near a small barn near the cabin. It was very big, so there wouldn’t be a ton of people in the cabin. He looked for an area to sneak nearer it to see if he could look into one of the windows.
As he studied the layout he saw a perfect spot to get a glimpse inside the cabin. He moved up and looked inside. He saw a man sitting with his back to him, and there across the room was Sarah. She looked okay, upset and scared, but nonetheless okay.
He took a deep sigh of relief. He couldn’t see any blood on her, so that was a good sign. Colin made sure that she didn’t see him outside the window though. Her look of surprise would surely let the guy inside know he was there.
Colin tried to think of the best way to move in and then it came to him. I’ll just go knock on the door, once he comes and answers, I’ll get him.
He moved in, hoping this would work. Since Sarah looked untouched he had come to the conclusion that someone thought he was related to the king. They were going to hold her and ask for money. Well this one guy, but Colin had a feeling that it wasn’t just this man involved in this plan.
Perhaps even the driver was part of the original plan, but they just saved some money and earned a bit more. There had to be more than one? He wasn’t sure why that thought had come to him, but it was just a nagging in the bag of his head for now.
So if he walked up and knocked on the door, perhaps this guy inside would think it was their partner. Colin got to the front of the cabin. Obviously there were no hideouts in the forest, or Colin would have been shot with an arrow already.
This was a small operation of that he was sure.
He put his fist up to the door and knocked.
“I’m coming.” He heard the man state inside.
As the door opened Colin was ready, the man didn’t know what hit him. Colin wanted to make sure he didn’t kill the man, to find out if there were more people involved. Because he planned to track each and every one down and make them pay for this.
Colin knocked him out and tied him up. Quickly he untied Sarah and asked her. “Did he hurt you at all?”
“No but he said something about money first before releasing me.” Sarah told him.
“Did he mention who might be behind it?” Colin asked.
Sarah shook her head no. “Its fine I’ll find out when he wakes up.” Colin said looking over at the man.
He smacked the man in the face. “Wake up, come on you have a few questions to answer.” He said as he hit the man.
The man shook his head. “Stop already. What do you want?” The man asked.
“You said once you get money you’ll return her, who is your partner?” Colin asked his face filled with anger.
“I didn’t say that.” The man tried to deny.
Sarah looked at Colin. “I know what I heard.”
Colin hit the man hard again. A drop of blood appeared on his bottom lip. “Who is your partner?” Colin asked again. “If you don’t tell me I’m going to kill you.”
“You’ll kill me anyway.” The man said.
“I might, or I might let you go. Even send you on the way with a little bit of money. It is better than nothing, right?” Colin told the man.
He saw the man think of the offer. “How much money are we talking?”
“How much were you going to ask for her?” Colin asked him.
“They said to ask 200 silver for her.” The man said.
“That’s it?” Colin queried.
“I know I thought it was low too.” The man said.
“How many partners do you have?” Colin asked.
“It was just the couple, her parents; they were the ones who set this up.” The man said.
“I’ll give you 100 pounds and I’m going to leave you tied up here.” Colin said. “After we take care of her parents, I’ll come back. If you are still here, I’ll let you go on your way. If you are gone, make sure we never see you again. Do you understand me?” Colin said.
He was furious. Her own parents had set her up to be kidnapped to make money? Colin didn’t know what was worse, him growing up with parents he didn’t remember. Or her growing up with parents who had her kidnapped to make money, how must that feel?
