Time Traveller Journals: The Great Viking Army

Chapter 16

Me and Halfdan had to leave early to meet with his brothers to prepare for the executions. Halfdan wouldn't let go of my hand, he wanted me to be next to him at all times. Made me think he wanted everyone to know that I was with him. Protective much.

We arrived at where the executions would take place, I was quite nervous. I really didn't want to watch, but I had to keep my cover. As long as Halfdan doesn't let me go, I should be alright. We met his brothers at the front, as more and more people began to arrive at the executions.

"Did you two enjoy your alone time," Ivar sniggered, as we arrived.

Halfdan smiled, "Yes Ivar we did. Now, who are we going to execute first."

Bjorn came over and replied, "The King will go last."

I clung to Halfdan's arm, I was dreading the executions. Bjorn turned to the gathering crowd, and waved his hand. Men dragged on those Anglo-Saxon warriors who survived the battle and were captured. There was twenty of them.

"Welcome Everyone, we will execute these men in the name of our father, Ragnar. Bring the first sacrifice," Bjorn shouted out to the crowd.

With that the executions began. I gripped Halfdan's arm even tighter, as I was made to watch the executions. Halfdan noticed that I wasn't liking this, so he pulled his arm from my grip and wrapped it around my shoulders, pulling me against his chest, he kissed my forehead and whispered in my ear, "Try to watch if you can, but if you can't, cuddle into me. I will hold you."

I cuddled into him, but I tried my best to keep watching. Once, all the executions were complete. The final execution was that of King Aella by the blood eagle. King Aella was dragged in to the centre, where he was bound between two poles, each arm tied to a pole. Bjorn cut slits down Aella's back. Bjorn peeled back the flesh to reveal the bones of Aella's spine and ribs. Aella's screams were deafening. Bjorn took an axe and hacked off Aella's ribs. He pulled Aella's lungs out and put them on Aella's shoulders. It was incredibly gruesome. Aella had died long before Bjorn had finished hacking.

It was a gruesome sight. I couldn't watch it for long, I ended up burying my face in Halfdan's chest and wrapped my arms around his waist, squeezing him tighter. He wrapped both arms around me, pulling me closer to him. I didn't think it was possible to get even closer but he pulled me closer. Once, the execution was finished, Halfdan led me away back to my tent.

Arriving at my tent, I let go of Halfdan's hand and sat on my bed, kicking my boots off and placing my head in my hands. Halfdan knelt in front of me and pulled my hands away from my face. I looked up into his eyes and he asked, "Was that your first ever execution?"

I nodded, he gave me a quick peck on the lips, before conplimenting me, "Well for your first you did bloody brilliantly. If it makes you feel better, I threw up at my first."

"Really, but you fight in battle, I saw you, you were so brave and fearless."

He poured me a cup of mead and replied, "Now, how on earth did you see me at the battle, when you were here?"

"The tree, I am a great climber," I giggled, as he handed me the cup of mead.

"I noticed. Anyway, we have to sack York tomorrow. I don't want you to fight. I know you can but I would feel better knowing you are safe," he smiled, as he took a sip from his drink.

"I won't fight unless I have too. But, I am more concerned about you. You have to be careful."

"As long as I have you here waiting for me, I will always return."

I grabbed his shirt and pulled him towards me, slamming my lips against his. Our kiss was hard and full of passion. After hearing him say that, every ounce of my being was telling me to pounce on him. He was so kind and caring. He was a true gentleman, which is strange when you hear all the stories of how barbaric Vikings were meant to be.

He pulled away from our kiss, and looked at me, smiling, "Though, I would love for us to continue this. We have a big day tomorrow and we need to sleep."

I nodded and moved further on to the bed, laying on my side. He laid on the bed, on his back, and I moved closer to him laying my head on his chest, as he wrapped his arm around me. It wasn't long before we were both in a deep sleep...

Suddenly, I was outside surrounded by thousands of people screaming at me demanding, I be put to death. I tried to run but they grabbed me and I was screaming, begging for mercy.

"Daphne, Daphne, wake up," Halfdan was shaking me, repeating those same four words.

Tears streamed down my face, as I came too. I flung my arms around Halfdan, who rubbed my back and reassured me, "It is okay. It was just a nightmare. You're safe."

I pulled away from him slightly, so I could look into his eyes. As we gazed into each other eyes, I realised I didn't want to die a virgin, I had to have him. I leaned in closer, pressing my lips against, as I started to pull him on top of me. Halfdan climbed on top of me, as I pushed my tongue into his mouth. He began to run his hands up my sides, until he got to my breasts, but before he untied my dress, he pulled away from our kiss and gazed into my eyes.

"Are you sure you are ready," he asked, watching my every movement.

"All I know is I want you and I don't want to die without experiencing a man's touch, a man's love. I want you to be that man," I replied, before pulling him back to kiss me.

He smiled, as our lips touched. He began to undo my dress, pulled me up, and lifted the dress up and over my head. He quickly took his shirt off. He pushed me back down on the bed, admiring my half naked body.

"You're so beautiful," he said, before leaning over me and pressing his lips against mine.

His hands moved their way up my body to my breasts. I moaned in his lips, as he squeezed my breasts. He slowly kissed down my neck, causing me to moan softly. He reached my breasts, flicking my right n****e with his tongue before taking it into his mouth, and sucking on it.

He moved his hands lower, and began undoing my trousers, while he continued sucking on my breasts. Once undone, he stopped and sat back to take my trousers off. He made quick work of his trousers, before opening my legs. He gave me a devilishly sexy smile, as he made his back over me, before planting his lips on mine.

Our kiss grew deeper, as his hand wonder down between my legs. His fingers began to rub circles on my clit, causing me to moan into his lips. He rubbed faster, until he slid his finger inside me. He pulled away from our kiss, and watched me, as I withered in pleasure beneath him. He slid another finger in. He began pumping his fingers faster. My moans grew louder and closer. I was reaching my climax, but he pulled his fingers out.

"Are you ready? I will go slow just relax and focus on me," Halfdan said, as he positioned the head of his manhood at my entrance.

I nodded, he gave me a quick kiss. Then he slowly began to push in. He was big and stretching me out. I gasped as he tore through my hymen. He pushed all the way in, and he groaned, "Your so tight."

Halfdan pressed his lips against mine. Our lips moved in sync, as he slowly began pulling out and pushing in. We moaned in to each others mouths. Each thurst was harder and quicker than the last. It brought me closer to the edge. Until, my orgasm ripped through my body, causing my whole body to shake. My walls clenched around Halfdan's manhoods, as he began pounding in me harder and faster than ever before.

With one final thrust, he stilled inside me, releasing his seed deep into my womb. He met my gaze, as he caught his breath, he said, "Your incredible."

"Just incredible, aye. That won't do," I giggled, as I forced him to roll over, so that I was on top.

I sat up, feeling him go deeper into me, I let out a moan. I felt him harden inside me. I began to rock my hips back and forth slowly at first, which caused him to groan. That only spurred me on even more. I moved faster and began to bounce on him. I leaned forward pressing my lips on to his. This time we both reached our climaxes at the same time.

As we caught our breath, Halfdan whispered, "Okay I take that back your perfect. This was the best I've had. Come on, we should get some sleep."

I nodded, smiling, "That was perfect. You the most kind, caring and brave man I have ever met."

I laid down next to him, and he pulled me to his chest, wrapping his arm around me and pulling a blanket over our naked bodies. With that we fell into a proper slumber.
