I took a deep calming breath as he led me out of the room. We walked through the castle together hand in hand and out into the courtyard where there was a horse already ready and waiting for us. Without any effort at all, he tossed me up onto the back of the horse. He climbed up after me and when the warmth of his chest pressed against my back, I couldn’t help but curl back against him. I could get used to this.
I was nervous, but at the same time I was looking forward to spending time with him. It had been so long since we’d been able to enjoy each other’s touch that knowing he’d set the afternoon aside for just the two of us felt special to me.
When we were both settled on top of the horse, he clicked his tongue and the stallion cantered down the street. The journey out of the city was relaxing in and of itself and I allowed myself to enjoy every moment of his body against mine.
When we breached the city gates, he clicked his tongue again and the horse took off even faster than before. We traveled down a lesser used dirt path for a little while before he turned off and ventured through some high grasses until we crested a small hill. Down below was a small lake and a soft grassy plain. Trees and a number of uniquely colored wildflowers surrounded the small oasis. It really was beautiful.
I pressed back against him, smiling as the bond pulsed between us. I could feel his happiness and I was sure he could sense mine.
The horse descended the hill. Magnar hopped down and lifted me off the horse, not even giving me a chance to climb off myself. He tied the horse’s reins to a nearby tree and took my hand, leading me closer to a small grove of young trees.
He tested a few branches with his fingers as I fidgeted a bit nervously beside him.
“Magnar,” I began anxiously. I couldn’t take my eyes off of his hands, watching as he found a branch that he liked enough to cut it free with a small knife he had on his belt. He swished it through the air and the sound made my heart drop straight to my toes. With a heavy swallow, I hummed fearfully, and the side of his mouth raised with amusement.
“Yes, omega?” he answered.
“You don’t have to switch me,” I said fretfully.
“Do you get to decide that?” he replied. His tone left no room for negotiation and my fear amplified at least tenfold.
“No, Alpha,” I whispered.
Without another word, he took my hand and led me back to the shore of the lake. He stopped beside a large flat boulder before he turned me around and began to unbutton my dress. I couldn’t think of anything to say as he flew through the buttons with a sureness that I didn’t think I could even be capable of at this point. I opened my mouth, hoping that the words would come but nothing ever did.
I pressed my lips back together.
“You’re nervous, little sigma. I can feel it,” he murmured, and a soft cry escaped me.
He kissed my cheek and I shivered intensely.
“You should be, my sweet mate,” he added, and my heart pounded in my chest. He pushed the fabric of my dress open, revealing my breasts achingly slowly. My nipples pebbled firmly in the open air as he slid his fingers along my shoulders. My clothing fell to the ground beneath me.
He left me standing there as he returned to the horse and unbuckled one of the saddlebags. He pulled out a soft blanket and swung it over the boulder before he took a seat on it. I wrung my hands together in front of me, not really knowing what to do with them until he reached for me and drew me closer to him.
“I’ve been looking forward to seeing you like this again for some time, my love,” he said gently and at once, my nerves flew away.
“I’ve missed you, Alpha,” I whispered.
“I know you have, sweet girl, and today I’m going to show you how much I missed you too. After your spanking is over, you’re going to come hard for me. Over and over until I fill you with my knot and my seed,” he explained softly.
My pussy clenched down in excitement.
“Now come. Lie over my knee. Your alpha wants to turn your beautiful bottom bright red,” he purred, and my core tightened with need. He lifted his hand and held it out for me. Immediately, I took it and he pulled me forward closer to him.
Fully bare, I lay over his knee and lifted my bottom for him. I was rewarded with the soft touch of his fingers against my naked flesh and I whimpered softly with arousal. I wanted him.
Badly.
His cock was already hard against my hip. He wanted me too.
And even though I was about to get my backside spanked hard, that made me feel powerful. It made me feel wanted, but even more than that, special. Cared for.
I liked that.
I angled my hips up, enjoying the feeling of his rough battle-hardened fingers against my skin.
“Alpha?”
“Yes, my sweet sigma?” he replied, his words full of appreciation as he touched me.
“I want it to hurt,” I whimpered, both nervous and afraid to ask for something like that.
“I know
