If this is supposed to scare me, then heâs in for a rude awakening, as the dungeons were my home as a child, thanks to my father.
Skarth, Ulf, and I are chained to a brick wall. We sit across from each other, as Aethelbald knew that if within reach, we would find a way to escape. But these chains are fastened tight into the bluestone walls.
Skarth sits quietly.
Ulf does not. âI would rather die in battle than in boredom. This is indeed torture.â
âAlways so dramatic.â Skarth rolls his eyes.
âWhoâs being dramatic? This is far worse than any torture I have ever endured. Remember that time a Christian put herââ He soon ceases from continuing as I can only guess where she put whatever where.
âWhat are you thinking, Emeline?â
Skarth knows me well. âThe only real collateral Aethelbald has over us is our children. He wonât harm them. For now,â I add, my stomach churning. âBut he will go after all the others who have helped me. King Raedwulf. King Beornwulf. My mother. Many are in danger.
âAnd I cannot do a thing about it. If only we knew where Sigrith was. Or Aedan. Truth be told, they are the only ones I trust.â
âWe have no allies because no one knows where we are. We must make our presence known,â Skarth says.
Heâs right.
But thatâs difficult to do when we are caged.
Peering around the dark, dank room, I look for an out. There are none, however. Unless someone frees us, we are at the mercy of a merciless man.
Footsteps echo in the darkness, and by the scuffling of them, itâs safe to say they belong to someone who is blind drunk.
Skarthâs spine straightens when he looks over my head.
Instantly, goose bumps prick my skin.
This wonât end well.
âWe shouldnât be down âere,â says a soldier to his friend. âIf Aethelbald found outâ¦â
âThe only way he would find out is if someone opens their big trap.â The man with sandy-colored hair carries a look I know too well. âJust one taste. What harm will it do?â
Skarth yanks furiously at his chains as the men approach me. âGet away from her!â
âOr what? Youâre in no position to be making demands, Viking.â
Ulf frantically searches the room, attempting to seek a weapon, an escape, anything to avoid the inevitable. I am accustomed to men showing their true nature when it comes to lust. One of them pins my legs down as the other unfastens his trousers, freeing his disgusting cock.
I donât even have time to fight.
He forces his cock down my throat and grips my chin with a pistol grip to stop me from biting down. He coaxes me to move my mouth up and down his shaft as he commences fucking my mouth. I gag when he hits the back of my throat. It only seems to encourage him to push down farther and faster.
I try to move my head, but his hold is tight.
I detach from my body and focus on flaying the skin from their bones as this is the only thing that helps me survive.
