Princess is just a tilte but not protection (closed)

[JadeKnight]

He watched her walk away for a moment before shutting the door behind him. He really didn't have any other clothes yet, but he was comfortable in his uniform as it was. He probably should have packed his dress uniform, but then this was ohnly supposed to be a recon mission.

He stood as the window, watching the activity as he waited to be summoned for dinner. He didn't exactly feel like getting in trouble for wandering to some area where he didn't belong. He wasn't long before he heard a knock on the door. He opened to see a young servant, bowing and saying dinner was ready.

He followed after the servant into the dining room, taking in the splendor. He smiled and gave a little bow to everyone upon seeing them. He paused for a moment, chuckling softly seeing the only seat was next to Adina. He wasn't sure what kind if spell he had put on her, but she seemed quite taken with him. He carefully sat down next to her.

"I hope you didn't wait long on me."

 

[Adeline04]

She smiled at Derek after taking a sip of wine as her Mother smiles at Derek as well shaking her head softly to what Derek said.

“No not long I am Queen Bethany Mother of Adinia and the other girls you see here and I also want to thank you for your service…”

She found him also interesting but mostly of the way, he looked in his uniform. The King didn’t really like the thought of Adinia smiling so much around Derek other then he might be a lord or such then it wouldn’t be all that bad. He had spoken to his wife about Derek and what he had done and the strange things he had with him and were he came from.

She had told him to invite him to stay a while and see what kind of a man he really was and then maybe even offer him a position with his guards maybe then Adinia would stop being so childish or stop trying to get away from Hector or the others.

He wasn’t that fond with the thought of his wife but thought it wouldn’t hurt to invite him to stay a bit longer. The servants then started to serve the food as the king waved a hand.

“Derek let us drink on your name tonight as this dinner is a thanking for you being in the right place to save one of my most precious items I have in this kingdom….”

Adinia smiled rising her cup as well to her father and then her mother.

Adinia ate slowly and nicely not that Derek might think of her as a pig or such as her, little sisters watched her and Derek and giggled some while their mother hushed them. Adinia gave them a look of hate as if she was telling them to stop that. She didn’t say a thing the whole time.

After dinner was done, the servants took the plates and brought fruits and sorts for dessert. Adinia laid her hand on his thigh softly and said nothing, she didn’t really look at him she watched the others. She took some strawberries to her plate raising one to her rip lips biting into it carefully, as a drop of juice wanted to drip from her lip as she licked it up pulling her lower lip in her mouth and letting it slowly slip back out.

 

[JadeKnight]

He grinned for a moment, seeing that he hadn't made them wait for long. Judging from the queen's beauty, he could tell it was her that Adina took after. He was quiet most of the time, just listening and watching how she interacted with her sisters. It did make him feel a little empty at not growing up with a real family. However he did push that aside for the time being.

The idea of him staying around as a guard did appeal to him, even if it would be temporary. He wasn't going to mention that part of his plans. At the request of a toast, he picked up his own glass as well.

"It was my pleasure."

He downed his drink, finding the drink a little sweet for wine. He really hadn't been a wine drinker, so it was a new sensation for him. When Adina laid her hand on his leg, he made no effort to move it. He did watch her from the corner of his eye, since he doubted the king wanted such focus on her.

"It is quite generous of you to let me stay tonight under your roof. I was most likely going to sleep under the stars tonight as I don't have any currancy that would be usable in your kingdom."

Her actions were tantalizing, but he did his best to control himself. Standing up with an erection wouldn't be the best way to leave the table.

 

[Adeline04]

Adinia smiled some as she saw his reaction not to react to her hand on his lap as her finger tips grip slightly to his thigh. She wanted to tease him there was something about him she just had to have or at least she thought so as she wondered what it would feel like to kiss him.

Her fingers traveled a bit higher on his thigh as she shifted some on her chair to lay her right leg over her left leg.

“I do believe Father that the cook has done his magic once again this tastes sooo delicious and the fruits are so rip and fresh. I’m glad that it is so well done today since we have a guest eating with us…”

Her father sighed and with a slight laugh to it as he took another big sip of wine before he could even react to his empty glass his servant filled it quickly.

“My lovely Wife and my Lovely Daughters always love to tell me how fresh the fruits are but if there is to much wild on the table they don’t speak of the nice meat which I hunted maybe we can hunt together Derek….”

She jumped some as her sister starred at her and Derek just smiling not saying anything but Adinia knew just what she would say if mother and father wasn’t there to hear it. She gave her a look back as if to tell her to mind her own business. Her mother also kept Derek in eye as if to watch out that he didn’t upset her husband and also kept an eye on her daughter. Derek was a very good looking man and her daughter was in the age that she would start to have urges and be very curious to things that started to make themselves noticeable to her.

Adinia looked to her father smiling she then looked to her mother as her mother smirked some at her, as if telling her she knew just what was going threw that pretty head of hers and should be careful. Adinia waved to a servant for more wine as she was allowed to have some more thou her sisters were too young for it and wasn’t allowed. Her father added then as his wife gave him this look to already ask him to stay for a bit.

“As I said before about Hunting I couldn’t invite you to stay a bit longer then just a night nor could I Sir Derek…. It would be nice to see a man which protected my daughter even thou he didn’t have to have a bit freedom and prays…”

He wasn’t sure what he should say as he would rather not have such a good looking man in his home he didn’t know were to put when his oldest daughter was in a age she should be wedded off as she would soon start in a new timeline of her life.

She tried to think of someway to be able to tease him some more but wasn’t sure what to do. She stood up some next to Derek leaning over him some to grab a fruit on the middle of the table but on the other side of where she was sitting so she could lean closer. She smiled as she then said to Derek.

“This fruit you just have to try…. It’s very juicy…”

She tilted her head some holding the fruit to his lips.

 

[JadeKnight]

He gave a little chuckle as the King complained on how much the ladies didn't appreciate the meat that he tried to put on the table.It was much richer than what he was used to, which he personally found delicious.

"I think everything on the table is very good. It's been forever since I had real food like this. I am honored you would let me have such a meal with you."

He really didn't pick up on the subtle communication between the ladies, so he wasn't really sure exactly what they were thinking. He was no stranger to flirting, but this was a new place for him and there were many things going on, too much to really picked on quickly. He looked towards the King for a moment at the mention of going hunting.

"I've never really been hunting myself. It was a very special privilege for a select few from where I came from. The game is so scarce, it's almost extinct."

He watched her lean across the table for some fruit before she sat back down. However when he saw she was going to try and feed him, he felt that was going a bit for just meeting. He grinned and reached a hand up, closing it over the fruit and her hand gently before gently lowering it to her plate.

"I am sure the fruit is quite juicy."

He released her hand before he plucked up a piece of fruit himself, biting off a piece of strawberry before chewing. He mmed for a moment before looking at the king.

"I know this may be a bit forward, but I believe that chances are I am going to be in the area for quite awhile till my current assignment is done. I know you have plenty of guards around, but perhaps I can offer my services as well. I have training as a scout, special training from where I came from, close combat fighting and even medical training...."

He trailed off for a moment, glancing from the king towards the queen, licking off a little bit of stickiness from the corner of his mouth for a moment.

"Just a thought."

 

[Adeline04]

When he put his hand around hers to put the fruit she offered him on her plate instead of biting off, she wanted to sigh but didn’t while she just listened to them talking about hunting and all. She crossed her legs and jus sat there, watching everything.

Her father was starting to enjoy himself as he found someone to talk about hunting with and all. Thou he did give Adinia this look as she had tried to give Derek a fruit, as if saying not think about it. Her eyes dashed back and forth from her mother and father as they poke, then as he mentioned his service and her father in a way of asking him to stay long made her smirk some.

Her father looked to his wife, as he then offered his service and not just to stay here, she smiled some with a slight nod, as Derek looked to her lifting her cup some and then looked back to her husband as she then said.

“I believe that is a wonderful idea maybe he can show the guards some new tricks in how to keep Adinia maybe safe and of course all our daughters”

She said as she looked to Adinia a playful way as if she was joking in what she said about Adinia but she was a feisty child and got in trouble so many times cause she tries to trick her guards so she is alone.

“Mother!”

Adinia said once as she almost blushes she made her sound like a small child in front of Derek thou she wasn’t and she tried to how him this but if it was her Fathers choice she would still be a small child.

She tried to think of something she could do to get at Derek; she laid her cloth on her plate and stood up saying.

“Sooo I will be seeing myself to my room now I wish you all a good evening!”

Her father stood as well as she stood up to leave nodding.

“Then rest well my child!”

Her mother also said it as Adinia walked over to her first giving her a soft kiss to the cheek and then past her sisters to her father as to also give him a kiss before leaving. She tried to walk so that maybe Derek would notice her, she tried to walk elegant but wasn’t sure if she hit it right.

After kissing her father on his cheek she smiled and made her way slowly to the door as she tried to show her ankle was still very sore while she then looked to Derek and said.

“Good night….!”

Thou she hoped she would be able to see him before the sun rises in the morning but wasn’t sure how she was going to get that to happen. She was so in thought that she almost fell again.

 

[JadeKnight]

He couldn't help but chuckle at Adina's reactions to the whole situation. Judging from the way she had been fawning over him, he figured she would be happy he was staying longer. He did think his words earlier would probably have to been implemented, never too late for a good spanking.

"I'll do my best to keep everyone safe."

He did follow after her as she left the table. It was a little comical at the way she tried to show off for him, especially with the sprained ankle she seemed to be favoring. He smiled back to her for a moment.

"Good night as well."

He gave a little shake of his head as she stumbled a bit before going fully out of sight. He laid his napkin on his plate before standing up from his seat.

"That was a wonderful meal. I never got my tour finished from earlier, so perhaps I could get shown around or wait till the morning?"

 

[Adeline04]

Adinia waited outside the door for a second before she slowly made her way to her room thinking about maybe going to his room and waiting for him and think of something why she had done that. She smiled as she then remembered her mother telling her that if a man should ever save her from anything he should get a soft kiss to the cheek as a reward. She hadn’t had the chance to give him the reward so that could be the reason why.

She nodded and did so she made her way to his room and sat on the edge of his bed and waited for him to come to his room.

Derek stood up thanking for the meal and asking about the tour that wasn’t finished, her father nodded and then rose from his seat. He didn’t really wanting another daughter of his to fall for him as he already noticed Adinia was and didn’t want him to be alone with his wife therefore thought to get to know him better he should show him around himself.

He walked over to his daughters kissing them all on the head and then to his wife giving her a kiss and then telling her she could go to bed, she didn’t have to wait for him if she wanted. He then looked back to Derek showing him with a hand towards the door.

“I shall show you the rest of the grounds of the castle and were you can go tomorrow to find Hector he will tell you what you can do to service a bit around here and he can show you the rest on the outside ground then when the sun is high in the sky….Shall we?!”

He started off threw the big halls and all as he asked him questions about how he got here and why he was alone and all.

Adinia sat on his bed waiting as it was taking longer then she thought so she laid on his bed some playing with the sheets some and as soon as she would hear someone outside or the door she would sit up again and smile.

 

[JadeKnight]

It didn't surprise him the king took it upon himself to guide him around. Derek answered the King's questions as best he could, without sounding crazy. Most of it was a bit of fabrication, mixed in with some truth. He also asked a few questions of his own, learning what he could. The idea of slavery was foreign to him, but he was beginning to understand some of it.

Having gotten the basic inner tour, they ended up back at his room. He gave a little bow to the king, whom seemed to appreciate the effort. It was going to get a little interesting to get used to this more lavish lifestyle.

Waiting till the king was out of sight, he opened the door to his room. He blinked for a moment seeing Adina sitting on the edge of the bed and chuckled.

"Quite the minx aren't you, excusing yourself to sneak in a strange man's room? Did you get lost again?"

 

[Adeline04]

Hearing Derek and her father outside of the door she got nervous hoping her father wouldn’t see her as she then sat up again on the edge of the bed fixing her hair some and her dress as she waited for him to come in.

She heard her father say good night and then after a few seconds then the door to open. She smiled up at Derek as he walked in; she tilted her head some as she listened to him and shook her head standing up to walk towards him.

“No…no I’m not lost, but I just wanted to make sure you have everything you need for the night and on the way to my room I noticed I never really thanked you in the proper way as a woman should when a man saves her life….”

She walked over to him tippy toeing slightly as she leaned up giving him a soft kiss on the cheek, her hands resting on his chest. Her hands still resting on his chest she then says softly.

“Or how do the woman thank themselves by one were you come from?!”

 

[JadeKnight]

He smiled for a moment as she stood up and walked over to him, not moving from the spot.

"Thank me? Well, I wasn't exactly expecting to have you thank me like this."

He reached up a finger on his cheek where she had laid the soft kiss with her sweet lips. He reached up with his other hand, laying it gently over her hands. It was almost as if he was doing it to keep her warm hands in place.

"This would be the first time a woman has thanked me like this. Normally it's just saying thank you."

He reached his other hand down, cupping her right cheek softly for a moment.

"However I guess I should start my duties in keeping you in line from now on."

He leaned his head forward as if to kiss her, but pulled back slightly as he pulled his hand away from her face. He dropped his hand down before Smacking her shapely ass three times with his open hand.

"That's for acting like a little brat when getting up from the dinner table."

 

[Adeline04]

Listening to him, she smiled some wondering how the woman thanked themselves from where he came from but just only saying it was not really thanking one without giving something to the words or was it enough. She couldn’t help but think about it for a second.

She smiled some as his hand cupped hers and he leaned forward was he really going to kiss her. She couldn’t believe it was she getting what she wanted this time without anything wronging wrong this time. She closed her eyes slightly as she went to lean into the kiss she gasped some as his hand left her cheek opening her eyes.

Then feeling his hand then smack her ass three times she cried out some, as she wanted to step away from him as she then said quickly.

“How dare you touch me like that don’t you know I'm a Princess…! And i’m not a brat…!”

She even thought about lifting her hand to slap him for his action.

 

[JadeKnight]

He chuckled for a moment.

"Of course I know you're a princess. But even you need some discipline."

He grasped her hands gently but firmly beneath the one at his chest. He stepped from her before pulling her towards the bed where he sat down facing towards the down. He pulled her down on his lap so she was on her stomach over his legs. He gently but firmly held her in place as he smacked her upturned ass once more, this time five more times before stopping.

"That's for running away earlier in the forest."

He rested his hand on her ass for a moment, squeezing teasingly before releasing her from his grip.

"You probably should get back to your room before your father goes looking for you."

 

[Adeline04]

She wanted to scream as he pulled her to the bed laying her over his lap but knew if her father found her here not only he would get punishment she would also. She wiggled and struggled trying to get from his lap as he smacks her ass five times.

She gasped then as she felt his hand teasingly squeezes her ass before letting her go. She slipped from his lap as she fell to the floor a bit, as she scooted away from him at first and then stood up. He told her she should probly go back to her room before her father searched for her.

“How Dare you!”

She rubbed her ass some as she then walked over to him again. She looked at him at first and then quickly lifted her hand slapping him once across his face before he could react to what she did she turns to leave. She walked towards the door while rubbing her ass slightly some more as no man had ever dared to touch let alone smack her like that before. She wasn’t sure if she liked him more now or less, as she was so shocked about what had happened she couldn’t think about it really, what she felt.

Her hand rested on the door knob for a second as she hesitated to open it right away not sure, if someone was outside.

 

[JadeKnight]

The smack caught him off guard for a moment and he rubbed the stinging cheek for a few moments. He shook his head as he watched her hesitate at the door.

"The longer you wait, the greater the chance of getting caught. Try not to wait so long."

He didn't move as he waited for her to leave. His thoughts began to drift of the conversation he had about slavery with the king. He wasn't given any direction on how to keep adina and the others safe, so he guessed that would be at his discretion. He began to think of a few things that would probably have to take place behind closed doors, but it would be doable.

"Good night and sweet dreams minx."

 

[Adeline04]

She heard him tell her not to wait to long or she might get caught she wanted to scream at him or hit him again but she only gave him an angry look and then opened the door looking out. Before she left she hears him tell her good night and sweet dreams. How could he be so mean but also so sweet at the same time she thought.

She made her way quickly to her room as she opened the door Sarah her servant sat there waiting to help her out of her dress with a smirk to her lips. Adinia sighed some and quickly closed the door and walked over to Sarah saying.

“Sarah helps me i’m tired and want to go to sleep….”

Sarah did as asked as she quickly danced around her to open the dress and then help her in the night gown. Sarah didn’t dare ask if her wondering off had something to do with the new guest but did then ask.

“Princess can I do something else for you or shall I have leave “

Adinia shook her head and laid down she covered herself up till her shoulders and thought about what just all happened. The smack didn’t really hurt it sting a bit but nothing was more to it but she also couldn’t help to wonder why he did that. She even felt weird about it something deep inside of her told her not to look at him tomorrow but on the other side she wanted to know why he thought he could do what he did and why he thought that was the proper punishment.

-----------------------------------------------------------

In the morning, Adina was woken from her servant that pulled the curtains from the windows which let the sun come in. she pulled the sheets over her head some as Sarah then pulled the sheets off her.

“Its time to wake your Father wants you to show Derek around the grounds out side and show him were to find Hector since you so wished it yesterday to show him…”

She sighed and waved her hand some.

“Sarah why don’t you show him the grounds you also know were Hector is you always have an eye out for him…”

She giggled some before she then sat up in her bed and sighed knowing if her father had told Sarah to tell her that he wouldn’t find it pleasing that Sarah did it and slipped form bed getting dressed.

Sarah shook her head with a smile wondering what had happened yesterday that she was now so cold over to Derek. She then sent Adinia off knowing that her father thought maybe Derek was a good man and had probly talked to him yesterday and trusted him more or he wouldn’t have sent Adinia to him again.

After some time she stood before his door sighed some, knocked, and waited for a reaction.

 

[JadeKnight]

After she left, he took his time going to bed. The day had been an interesting one, not quite what he was expecting when he stepped through the portal. He just hoped that despite taking a liking to things here, he would be able to find some way to contact his chain of command to report what he had found.

He managed to make a few notes before turning in. The bed was much softer than he was used to, helping to ease him into a very restful sleep. He awoke as the first rays of sun came streaming in through the window. He groaned covering his eyes for a moment before sitting up. It took him a few moments to remember where he was.

He slipped from the bed before doing a few light exercises to wake himself up and getting dressed. He was looking out the window as the morning activity when he heard the knocking on the door.

"Come in, it's open."

 

[Adeline04]

Hearing him say come in its open, she hesitated at first but then turned the door knob. She opened the door only stepping in the door way folding her hands before her, looking at him, and said then.

“My father wishes for me to show you the way to Hector and the show the rest of the grounds outside…”

She looked him over seeing him wear his uniform again she then asked.

“Do you wish for me to send a servant to get something else for you to wear?!”

She didn’t move, as she didn’t want him to have the chance to smack her ass again but then took one step in his room.

“As I here you will be serving my father for some time…. Well then hurry i’m a princess and have better things to do then show you around”

She tried to play cold, as no one had ever treated her as he had thou many probly wanted to and she wasn’t sure how to live with that.

 

[JadeKnight]

He turned at the sound of her voice and smiled. He looked down at his uniform for a moment before looking up at her.

"Yes, that probably would be a good thing to do. We don't need to do that now though. This is comfortable for me."

He could tell she was a little unsure of him now, especially after last night. A little mixing of things on how he was going to treat her would most likely keep her off her toes till things were decided. Plus, he would have to be careful what was done in public so they wouldn't get in trouble.

"There's no time like the present to get things started."

He moved towards her for a moment, making to step past her to go out. However he stopped in front of her and lifted a hand up. He cupped her chin gently and tilted her face upwards towards his before he placed his lips gently against hers for a moment. He mmed at the soft touch of her warm lips before he broke the kiss and let go of her chin.

"I hope your ankle is feeling better, since you'll be walking around a bit."

 

[Adeline04]

She watched him and kept this look to her face thou as he then was so nice and didn’t show anything of the side of last night. She stepped back against the door way to let him go past her.

“As you wish then let’s be on our way…!”

Thou as he then stopped right in front of her she gasped some tensing up some not sure what he was going to do now. He then lifted his hand to cup her chin and gently lifting her face up towards him to look in his eyes as he then leaned in and gave her a soft kiss.

She gently leaned in the kiss but confused about how gentle he was and sweet. She closed her eyes while his lips were so soft but strong kissing hers. He broke the kiss letting her chin go she nibbled her lower lip some and opening her eyes slowly as she hears him saying he hopes her ankle is better today as she had forgotten about it in that second just nodding some.

Her hands lifted to her lips were his had been just a second ago. She had never been kissed like that and something told her deep inside of her she wanted more. Thou the thought of last night she wasn’t sure how to react as she then said softly.

“Did…umm my father already say what you were to do today other then go to Hector?!”

She asked as she then slowly turned to walk down the hall way, thou she couldn’t stop thinking about his kiss.

 

[JadeKnight]

He could tell by the stammer for a moment he had her awestruck. That and the way she had glossed over his question about her ankle. It wasn't really anything bad to he. He wondered if he should figure up a pet name for her, seeing how she would react to it. It probably would take her a little while to really catch on, but he was fine with that.

"No, he really didn't say much except Hector would show me my service. I guess Hector supposed to show me what I will be doing as part of my duties little minx. Nothing too hard I hope, though I am used to doing hard work."

He walked slow so that she could catch up, his hands clasped behind his back. He had left his rifle in his room, since he planned on getting the rest of his equipment when he would be able. He just hoped none of it was taken during the night.

 

[Adeline04]

She heard him call her minx once again like last night which made her tense up slightly and also sigh following him she then said.

“Well then Hector will know what you should do today and my name is Adinia…Princess! Adinia…”

She then took a step faster to walk before him as if showing she was better then him she walked with a straight back and swayed her hips back and forth to also tease his eyes if he looks.

She made her way out, to were Hector should be and some of the other guards. Her father had gotten up early this morning and had Hector be called to him. He wanted to tell him what Derek should be put to service.

“Hector my good man I wish to give you a bit of ease from my daughter since old man I believe it might be good for you when someone maybe a bit younger then you should take his turn on watching out for Adinia as she is full with energy and doesn’t like to hear….”

He paused for a second asking himself if it was the right idea and then added

“Sir Derek has offered his duties to my kingdom for a time being and since Adinia has a eye out for him but he seems none for her and he did save her maybe he can put some sense in the girl and you have more time to do your duties, other than just watch her and make sure she wont get in trouble…”

Hector smiled some knowing that wont work, there is no man on these lands that could tame her but a try wouldn’t hurt he thought.

“Yes Sir I will be sure of it to that he knows his duties for now and some others what he might be able to do as he stays as you wish…”

He then turned and left to go on with his duties till Derek finds him.

 

[JadeKnight]

He gave a little chuckle as she complained about he not calling her by her name and correcting him. He did also notice her little sway as she walked ahead of him, trying to entice him. It was much better without the hobble with her sprained ankle getting in the way.

"That may be, but it is so...formal...Little minx."

He didn't say much more as he continued to follow her till they found Hector in the courtyard.

"Good morning Hector. The king set me out to find you so you could fill me in on my duties."

Hector gave a smile for a moment, not saying anything as he judged the younger man before looking at the princess.

"Good morning Sir Derek. His Majesty told me that you will be watching Adrina from now on. You're the one who will be needing to keep her out of trouble. Will you be able to do that?"

Derek gave a little bow fore a moment, glancing towards her for a moment before looking back at Hector.

"That shouldn't be a problem. I'm happy to be of such service."

Hector gave a gruff for a moment before motioning for them to get going elsewhere.

 

[Adeline04]

Adinia sighed some as he then called her the little minx again and didn’t react to it this time. As she just kept walking her ankle didn’t hurt that much any more only with certain movement but she could walk normal again. they found Hector she smiled some thinking now she was rid of Derek as she then hears Hector tell him that he had the duty of watching her now instead of the old Hector himself.

“Hector!”

She gasped she wasn’t sure if she liked the thought of it but then smirked some she would show him that it wasn’t that easy as he thought. Without waiting for Derek to follow or Hector to react, she started of in the direction to her garden.

“We will see!”

She said under her breath more to herself then anyone else as the other guards looked at Derek watching Adinia already leaving before Hector could even wave a hand to tell Derek and her to leave that he had better things to do. They all started to even whisper if the new person was able to handle the girl since she wasn’t the easiest of the daughters.

She first stopped walking as she got to her hidden garden corner which she had shown Derek yesterday only a few Servants and guards knew of it as she liked to hide there from the out side world and stress.

 

[JadeKnight]

He raised an eyebrow for a moment as her outburst about the whole ordeal before storming off. Well, not storming off exactly. He gave a curt nod to the others whispering, before turning and walking after her himself, whispering to himself.

"Challenge accepted."

He wasn't sure where she was heading off to, so he decided to try checking her little garden hide-away first. Seeing her stopped at the garden door, he nodded slightly. Checking to making sure no one else was around he moved after her.

Coming up behind her, he lifted one hand up, wrapping it over her throat softly but firmly. His other am wrapping around her waist as he pressed up against her from behind. He whispered softly in her right ear.

"Scream and I'll choke. Now be a good little minx and lead us inside."
