Huh. Doesn’t seem desperate, but she wants to make a match that fits her.
Or so I think.
“Well, aren’t you direct?” Alex said, leaning back in his chair.
“I do not think it would be good to deceive you this early. No good would come of trying to commit to a poor contract with lies.”
“That’s certainly fair. Let’s turn this around then. Why should I take you, Holly? You say you don’t need to be here… but there are certainly a number of women who do.
“Why you, and not them?”
Holly thought on that, her nose scrunching up and her brow furrowing.
“Because I will do what is asked of me as your wife. I know my place, and position. I would barter myself for you to support my family.”
Oh? This might work out to my benefit, then. I could use her as a source of contract power at the same time, couldn’t I? Get her to slowly swear to things as time goes on?
Or everything in one go.
Let’s… test it.
Alex gave her a feral smile and leaned forward.
“Are you sure about that?” he asked.
Chapter 10
“Yes. I am sure,” Holly said, her pale shoulders straightening.
“Well, let’s test that then a bit. I’m not a great person. I do what I must.
“That means you’ll end up privy to a number of secrets as my wife. Would you swear an oath to secrecy as if you were nothing more than one of my people?”
“I would,” Holly said immediately, nodding her head.
“Then please do so. On Leah’s name, no less. On pain of death and losing your soul. For the secrecy of anything I tell you in this room today, and anything that happens in this room today.
“In return, I’ll swear an oath that nothing untoward will happen to you in this room today.”
Holly blinked, her eyes unfocusing as she stared through his head.
“Then I do so swear. On Leah’s name for the secrecy of what’s said in this room, and done in this room. On pain of death, and the loss of my soul.”
Alright. She’s willing to wade a little bit out into the water… let’s see how deep she’ll go.
“First… I have a dungeon that I’m slowly filling with women. Women I’m turning into personal sex slaves, pawns, or… well, tools. I plan on having them serve me till they die, and I plan on expanding their number significantly.
“What do you think about that?”
Holly’s mouth opened, her tongue touching the front of her teeth.
“I think that sounds like a lot of work, and you could use a helper. Or someone to manage the house while you take care of your business.”
“That’s certainly a good answer. So, if I cornered my local nobility into giving up their daughters in trades, and turned them into whatever I wanted, you’d have no qualms?”
“No, so long as you continued to support my family and my needs.”
Alex nodded to that. It was definitely an answer he appreciated as well.
He’d need to dig into the details on what support she needed later.
“If I had you put in a cell with them to find out what they wanted… What made them tick. Their needs.
“You’d do so? Betray them to me, so I could turn them inside out into bed pillows for my own needs?”
“Yes, if that’s what you needed of me.”
“As an example of what I mean, Two here,” Alex said, hooking a thumb at Carla. “Is my bodyguard and personal bed warmer. Once a week it’s in my domain to plow her into a bed and fill her up. For now.
“Thoughts?”
Holly’s eyes flicked to Carla and then back.
“I would hope you’ve purchased her Mother’s Bane, as I would prefer not to worry about bastards of my husband running around.”
Alex smiled at her wolfishly, deciding to close the trap and see how far she’d go for this.
“Yes, I’m supplying her with all the Mother’s Bane she can eat.
“Let’s take this a step further though. If I decided I wanted to splay my dear Two apart wherever we were,” Alex said, patting Carla on the rear end, then giving it a firm squeeze. “And fill her up to the brim with my seed, then make you chow down on her until you fish it all out with your tongue, what’d be your response?”
Holly sighed as her face took on a pained expression. Then she gave him a bitter smile.
“I suppose I’d be eating out your servant until I was done.”
Desperate indeed. Let’s push it further.
“What if I told you that’s how you’d be able to get to the next interview? And there’d still be no guarantee I’d marry you.”
Holly seemed to stop breathing, her eyes floating from Alex to Carla and back again.
“Would this count as your one time this week?” Carla asked, getting his attention. She was clearly looking for her own angle in this exchange.
“Hm? Yeah. It’d count,” Alex confirmed.
“Tch. Do you have to cum in me again? I leaked for days last time.”
“That I do. Part of the fun. Filling you up to bursting is something I really enjoyed.”
Holly cleared her throat, getting his and Carla’s attention. She held up a single finger.
“You wouldn’t mount me during this exchange? My maidenhead would be intact? You wouldn’t touch me in any way, Alex? I see no reason to give you that if you’ll not be my husband.”
“Ah, yeah. You’d keep your maidenhead, I’d not touch you in a sexual way,” Alex confirmed.
Holly nodded her head slowly. She was very clearly torn on this, but he imagined he himself was the only significant possibility to help her family.
“Then I suppose you better hurry up and get to it. The interviews don’t have time limits, but it’d be circumspect if we took too long,” Holly said, her tone sounding resigned.
Alex knew his crystal wasn’t full. And this might just be a deal that could push him along.
“Alright. Let’s make this official then.
“I’m going to mount Two and fill her up with my seed. You, Holly, need to get it out and eat it up. I’m not going to touch you during the exchange, but I’m sure as hell going to watch.
“For this deal, I’d move you to the next interview round and earnestly consider you as my wife.
“On Leah’s name,” Alex said, closing the oath for himself.
Holly took a deep, shuddering breath.
“I agree to the terms, as you’ve listed them, on Leah’s name,” she said. “Heavens help me.”
“Great. Go lock the door, Holly,” Alex said, standing up. Pulling the tongue of his belt out, he started to work his pants off. “Drop your trousers and hop up on the table, Two. Time for you to earn your keep.”
“My keep isn’t earned on my back. You hired me to keep your narrow ass safe,” Carla said. She unhooked her weaponry and shield and set it down on the ground.
Grumbling, she started to work on her belt.
“Today, that nice ass of yours is earning your keep. So put it on the table, get on your back, and spread those legs for me.
“I was looking forward to this,” Alex said. He didn’t want to antagonize her, but in the same breath, he had to keep her shame about the situation up to a degree.
Otherwise she’d be no value in the trades.
“What?” Carla asked, the annoyance and anger clear in her voice. Her pants hit the ground with a clank of her belt buckle.
All she had left on was her leather armor and the padding under that.
“I was looking forward to this. Having you. I wasn’t teasing when I said you felt great.”
Alex stood in front of the table and patted it.
“Come along, Two,” he said, smiling at Carla.
“The door is locked,” Holly said, rejoining them.
Carla complained under her breath as she got up on the table. Shimmying around, she got to the point where her bottom was at the edge.
“First a desk
, now a table,” she said.
Alex shrugged his shoulders and stepped up between her legs. Reaching, up he started to unstrap her leather armor.
“Maybe you’ll get a bed next time. Or maybe I’ll give it to you in the coach with the new wife watching.
“Dunno yet,” Alex said.
Carla fended his hands off gently.
“Stop it. Just hurry up. We have work to do today after this.”
“Fine, next time I’ll get you properly undressed,” Alex said. “I’d love to devour you with my eyes again.”
Pressing a hand to her shoulder, he pushed her down to the table.
Carla folded her legs, pointing her knees to the ceiling, and spread her legs, settling onto the table.
Taking a peek down, Alex didn’t miss that her entrance was wet and glistening.
You’re getting warped, aren’t you, Two? Getting forced into the shape I want. Excited about being used in front of another woman and having her eat you out.
We’ll need to fix up your clothes and hair soon. Get your collar and tag.
Not far off, though.
Taking a hold of his girth in his left hand, he reached up with his other hand and gently caressed Carla’s hip.
She didn’t flinch away at his touch this time, either.
Content that she wasn’t against this, he pressed the tip into her and took a better stance.
Laying his left hand on her other hip, he took hold of her.
Leaning forward, he sank himself into her depths.
Without any resistance at all.
Carla closed her eyes, her lips pressing together.
She looks like she’s actually rather into it, and doing her best to hide it. Or to stop herself from enjoying it.
We can use that.
Reaching the hilt, he ground himself against her hood and lips. He felt her insides twitch, even as her fingers curled into her palms.
Pressing his hands tight to her sides, Alex started to pull himself back and then forward into her again.
Pushing himself up into her hips, Alex slid in and out of Carla smoothly. His hands holding tightly to her.
He upped his speed and force with each consecutive entry. All the while, he watched Carla intently. Trying to gauge her reaction.
Her cheeks were flushed now, and her breathing had changed on a subtle level.
Finding a good rhythm and burying himself into Carla with each forceful thrust, he looked up to Holly.
She was watching the space between himself and Carla intently.
Then her eyes flicked up to Alex.
He gave her a predatory grin, then deliberately slid his eyes down her body and back up.
Holly stood up straighter, her face turning a deep, dark red.
Looking back to Carla, Alex sped up. Pounding himself into Carla’s legs and deep inside her.
He wanted to see Holly pushed up between Carla’s thighs.
Imperceptibly, to the point that he doubted his hearing, he could hear tiny grunts and moans coming from Carla. Punctuating each of his thrusts.
“Get ready, Holly,” Alex said. “Go ahead and crawl under us so you can take over when I’m done with this beauty here.”
Carla’s eyes slid open. They were a little out of it, he thought, but she was mostly there. She was watching him.
From what he could see, she was enjoying this now.
Grinning at her obvious pleasure—despite her claims otherwise—Alex pumped hard and fast into her, his shaft spasming as he started to peak.
Grunting, and pushing himself up against her to drive himself as deep as he could, Alex ground down on Carla’s hips.
With each spurt, he pushed into her roughly. Unwilling to pull away until he was completely done, he held tight to Carla.
Letting out a slow breath, he finally felt his climax end. Nothing else spilled out of him.
A touch out of breath, Alex bent over Carla and pressed his forehead to her armored chest.
“I know you don’t do anything to help it along, but by the gods and goddesses you feel good, Two,” Alex said.
Carla mumbled something incomprehensibly before he felt a hand pat him on the back of the head.
“Get up so she can dig in. I’ve never been eaten out by a noblewoman,” Carla said, her fingernails grazing the back of his skull.
At mention of her, Alex felt Holly shift beneath him, her head touching his balls before she jerked away from him.
Standing up, he pulled himself out of Carla, making sure to smear his tip against her clit and lips.
“Be sure to lick that up,” he commanded before dropping into the chair next to them.
Holly took a deep breath, then opened her mouth and leaned in.
Her tongue slid out and she began to lap up Alex’s seed that he’d deliberately wiped all over Carla’s slit.
Alex picked up Holly’s interview sheet and began to idly fill it out as he watched.
Carla shuddered as Holly finished up with the outside of her.
Leaning in further, Holly wormed her tongue up and into Carla.
“Good. Be sure to get it all out and swallow it down, Holly,” Alex said. “In fact, if you can manage to get a big clump of it, and show me it, then swallow… I’ll give you all the questions for the next interview. On Leah’s name, I swear that.”
Alex ticked the box to move her to the bride selection and listed her as a finalist.
He wouldn’t tell her that, of course. He might be able to get more from her in the second interview, let alone the final one.
Holly grunted at that, presumably accepting or declining the offer; with her face pressed tight to Carla’s privates, it was unintelligible.
Carla’s head turned to one side, her eyes falling on Alex as Holly worked her internally.
Clearly repressing a shudder, the ex-bandit was obviously enjoying herself. Or at least, Alex believed so.
He gave her a wide smile, watching her being devoured.
And was surprised when she gave him a tiny smile in return.
“Mah lahd,” Holly said, turning to face him and getting his attention.
Her face was sticky, stained with seed and Carla’s fluids.
Opening her mouth, she showed Alex a mouthful of his seed, her tongue swirling it around to demonstrate it. Then she closed her mouth, visibly swallowed, and went back between Carla’s thighs.
Damn. Isn’t she fun? Getting worked up again.
“Wait, what do I get out of letting her eat me out?” Carla asked.
“Nothing, other than having a noblewoman go down on you. You didn’t broker a deal for anything,” Alex said.
Carla groaned. Whether in anger or pleasure, he couldn’t tell.
***
Alex set six sheets to the left side of the table, making sure to put Holly, Anna, and Eugenia on the top.
Leaning back in his chair, he stared up at the white-washed ceilings of the Brit mansion.
He’d narrowed his choice down to two of those three ladies even before Holly had finished up with Carla.
At first, he’d put Anna on the discard pile. But with how readily she’d accepted everything, and the sheer size of her dowry, he couldn’t deny his own greed.
That and she was one of the hottest ladies he’d seen so far, with a body to match.
“You put Eugenia in?” Carla said over his shoulder.
“Yep. She’d be pretty useful. We’ll see how she does in the next interview.
“I might see if I can get her to do something to make it to the final interview,” Alex said, shrugging. “Feel like being eaten out again?”
“Maybe. You realize you’re poisoning the relationship at the start doing that though?” Carla asked.
Looking to her, he hesitated in his response.
Telling her how he was handling others might give her ideas on how he’d been handling her.
“They’re all in need of me. Some desperate, some not. The three I picked are more on the desperate sid
e of things.
“There were women with more connections, better alliance possibilities, or simply better talent. Hell, or just prettier than Eugenia.
“You saw them. The problem is they all would want to be treated equally. I have no desire for a partner; I need minions,” Alex said with a shrug.
“Which is why I’m here, rather than rotting as a corpse somewhere,” Carla said with a strange look on her face.
“Accurate, yeah. You have a skill set I need, and you were in a position I could leverage.”
“So… it wasn’t to turn me into your personal fuck-doll.”
“Originally, no. That’s just a benefit that came secondary, with you being cute and built well.”
Carla mumbled to herself and pressed her fists to her eyes.
She was dressed in her “off duty” gear. Which was padded armor and a short sword, rather than her full kit.
This was what she felt was suitable for wearing in the mansion.
“You’re such a prick,” she said through her hands.
“Sorry, Two. I’m not here to make friends. I’m here to be the count of Brit, and to rule it decisively.
“My kidnapping opened my eyes.”
“You’re never going to release me, are you?” she said. It wasn’t really a question.
“No, Two. You’re bound to me until you die. If it makes you feel better, I don’t plan on spending your life frivolously. You’re quite valuable to me.
“And speaking of value, I’d like to offer you a deal. Simple things, for something I know you want.”
“Uuuuugh… more deals? You already bed me, you work me to death, and you used me on another woman. What else can you do to me?”
“A number of things. But I can also give you quite a bit, too,” Alex said, folding his hands in his lap. “I never asked about what you needed to do in town with all that money, but I’m going to assume family or friends. An example of something I could do is set up part of your salary to be turned over to someone here for you.”
Carla dropped her hands and glared at him severely.
“Did you spy on me when I went on my day off?”
“No. Just a guess. That’s all. Would you like that, though?”
Surprisingly, Carla pouted and nodded her head. “Yes… but you’ll want something extreme for it.”
