hard again. The cloth dropped to the ground. He
looked predatory as he prowled back to her.
Rolf turned her onto her back and pulled her legs up around
him. His huge arm wrapped under her hips keeping her behind
from the furs. Droplets of water rolled down his body to land on
her. She felt each individual splash. He thrust into her vaginally and
Sky gasped in surprise. He wasn’t hurting her, but when he used
his power, she moaned as his muscles bulged and flexed. Her hands
pushed at his chest, but he gripped her wrists with one hand and
held them over her head. His blue eyes were so intense she became
locked in time. They were the only ones in that moment. She
never wanted it to end.
He took her harder, harder than any man ever had, including
Brandr. Sky panted his name and screamed when she came again.
Rolf threw his head back and howled. He collapsed on top of her.
Sky was exhausted. Her fantasy had become a reality. Her eyes
closed and she fell asleep with him buried inside her.

It was late when Brandr returned. Rolf and Sky were curled
up together in the furs. The fire in the hearth had been banked for
the night and just a small glow gave him sufficient light. Brandr
lifted Rolf’s flask and hefted its weight. Half was gone. Both Brandr
and Rolf were concerned when Sky cried after Brandr had taken
her. He hadn’t meant to be cruel, he was just eager. He knew he
was only the second to have her that way, but thought Rolf had
prepared her since his cock was huge. Brandr felt awful. He always
seemed to be hurting her.
Brandr settled down at the table and munched on some bread.
He had wanted to hunt not only for food but for the peace it would
offer so he could think. When he had seen Sky for the first time in
the clearing he had thought the boy to be small and of no
challenge, so he hadn’t even drawn his sword. He would have
allowed him to retreat and would have caused him no harm—but
the boy wouldn’t know that. He had snapped the twig on purpose
and waited for the boy’s face to light with terror at the sight of
him. Brandr was surprised the boy had run to him instead of away,
and looked thrilled he was there. It was so unexpected to have
what he thought to be a young warrior wrap his arms around him.
Brandr had been shocked. And when he had asked for Rolf, he was
confused. Rolf was a common name; though, he had thought
perhaps it was the name of the boy’s father. Perhaps he was lost
and fear of loneliness had set in.
A thought had occurred making him wonder if the boy was
from the village that had been destroyed by raiders. Brandr and his
hunting party had been too late to be of any help. The scene had
been sickening. It always made Brandr furious to see the senseless
slaughter of helpless women and children. What warrior would
commit such a tragedy on the defenseless? Brandr and the others had left
the victims where they lay. Their village men would want to bury
their own. They must have been out in a large hunting party. Only
a few elderly Vikings had been left behind as guards. A fateful

mistake in this day and age. A thought had occurred to him that
perhaps the boy had run in terror; the only one to have survived
the slaughter. Perhaps he had been searching for help.
When Cull had suggested they kill him, as he could pose a
threat to their own village if he was the lost son of a raider, Brandr
had made a point of pointing out how small he was. Thin neck,
easy to break; tiny arms with no power. This boy was no threat.
More of a nuisance really. And just because he had come from the
direction of the burned village didn’t necessarily mean he was from
there or had been involved in any way—although Cull had a point
when he said he couldn’t speak their language; an inhabitant from
the village would have understood. Still, Brandr felt there had
