The Scottish Princess

Excepting My Fate

The further away from the MacKenzie land the more my stomach twisted into knots. I knew what was about to happen wasn’t going to be pleasant, but I could not break, I will not break. I don’t care what becomes of me, but I will save Fiona. 

We finally arrived at the estate, it was no where near what I imagined, a ‘powerful’ man like Frazier, you would expect something much more grand than what stood in front of me. He must be compensating for something. The building itself seemed like it would blow down with the next gust of wind. All the crops were dried up and the grounds were disheveled. There was no green to be seen, it was all brown and crusty. 

 Once we came to a halt the guard in front of me hopped off and yanked me down from the horse. 

“Christ! Easy lad, I will come willingly. You don’t need to leave bruises.” He scoffed and shoved me into the side entrance of the castle towards the service entrance. 

“Chief is going to be so happy to see you, he’s been anxious to get his hands you.” My stomach suddenly curdled and I was doubled over in the long, dark corridor. “Come along lass, we must not keep chief waiting!” 

The guard grabbed my elbow and was dragging me down the hallway. The room started to spin and it was a struggle to continue on. 

We finally reached the end of the corridor and the guard opened the large double doors. We walked into the great hall where I could see Frazier in the far corner. He was talking to someone, about what I wasn’t sure. But that all stopped when his comrade pointed at me. Frazier straightened and turned to face me slowly. He stared at me with the same evil eyes as before. I felt a chill run down my spine and my stomach started to doing somersaults once more. 

“Ahh, Isla, you’ve finally arrived. I hope I didn’t cause too much trouble for my dear friend Chief MacKenzie.” I was white hot with anger, how dare he speak his name. As he neared me, I had to fight the urge to rip his throat out. “Welcome to your new home my beloved.” He gestured at the room and the pitiful space he called a great hall. It was then that Frazier noticed how the guard was holding me. “Sirus, that is no way to treat your Madame. Let her go at once.” The guard let go of me and tossed me towards Frazier. He started to circle me, taking in my appearance. I know that my hair was a mess and my skirts were destroyed. 

“This is not suitable for a Bonnie lass like yourself. I shall have you stripped and dressed in fresh clothes.” I don’t know what it was, but he made it sounds so dirty, he put extra emphasis on the ‘stripped.’

I knew that I had to inquire about Fiona before I let this go too far. The farther away I am from this man the better, but I also know that he plans to hide me away, some where Graham will never find me.

I straightened my posture and softened my face. “Chief Frazier, I was curious as to where my sister is, do you have any idea where I might find her?” 

“Please my beloved, you may call my Isaac. And I’m afraid that I don’t quite trust you enough to discuss such matters. I must see how far I can push you, I have to see how loyal you truly are.” His eyes glistened with lust, this fucker wanted to play hardball, game on. I fought my urges enough to step closer to him. I leaned my body into his just enough for him to touch me. I leaned close into his ear and whispered.

“Chief Frazier, I won’t be giving you anything until you tell me where my sister is.” Frazier reached up and pulled my hair back so I could look into his black, soul-less eyes. 

“You really think that you have power? You have nothing. You are surely mistaken if you think that I will give in that easily.”  

Isaac lingered his lips close near my neck, I could feel his breath graze my skin. “You are so intoxicating, now I know why Graham was so taken with you. Unfortunately, he will never appreciate your beauty and your fire.” Isaac leaned into my neck and placed a kiss against my neck. 

A wave of repulsion rippled through my body and I shudder without meaning too. 

“I’m sorry lass, am I making you uncomfortable? You better get used to me touching you, you will never see Graham again.” My heart stopped beating in my chest and I suddenly couldn’t breath, I wanted to puke at his advances. Tears started to pool in my eyes as I thought about the possibility of never seeing Graham again.

“Oh don’t cry beloved, I will make you forget all about him. I can make you c*m more than any other man. You will be mine beloved, there is nothing you can do to stop me.” Isaac released my hair and looked passed me to the guard standing near by. “Take her to my bedroom. I want her washed and dressed when I get back.” 

The guard stepped forward and grabbed hold of my elbow. I knew that fighting back would not help, I still didn’t know where Fiona was, I needed to be strong until I could find out where she was. 

Sirus led me up the stairs and down the hall to a room at the end of the corridor. He unlatched the door and pushed me inside. 

“Strip down, no need to keep the Chief waiting when he arrives.” Sirus stepped back against the door and crossed his arms across his body, he had no intention of leaving. 

“Are you really going to watch me undress? Chief Frazier wouldn’t like that very much.”

“Hush! I will not ask again.” I surveyed the room and tried to spot a changing screen, no such luck. I then spotted a robe hanging on the hook near the door. I walked over and grabbed the robe. I stepped back towards the bed and sat on the edge. I started with the least sexy article, my boots. It became harder and harder to shield my body as the layers came off. When I got down to my chemise and corset, I struggled to slip into my robe. 

When I got down to my chemise and corset, there was a knock on the door. 

“We’re busy!” Sirus shouted at the person on the other side of the door. There was another timid knock on the door.

“My apologies sir, but Chief Frazier sent me up to bathe his beloved.” Sirus huffed and reluctantly opened the door, he wanted to finish watching the show. 

A small framed, fiery lass entered the bedroom. She was carrying a tray with oils and herbs. She gave me a shy smile as she walked into the room. I was clutching my robe close to my body. She set the tray down by the settee in the middle of the room. She turned towards the door. 

“Sirus, you may be excused, I can take it from here.” Sirus scowled at her before turning to leave, he knew just as much as I did, that he shouldn’t have been here in the first place. 

I felt much more relieved when Sirus was gone, the chamber maid watched after him to make sure that he was gone. Once the door was latched, she turned towards me. 

“I’m so sorry Madame. I was not aware that he was in here with you alone, I would have come sooner.” I couldn’t stop shaking, even as she spoke to me. I wanted to go home, I wanted my bed, my people, and my lord. Tears started to drip down my cheeks as I thought of all the things that I left behind. 

“Don’t cry lass, everything will be fine. Let’s get you into a hot bath, I’ll bring you some chamomile tea, it will help calm your nerves. My name is Leahry, by the way.” 

Leahry was a gorgeous lass, blonde hair blue eyes and freckles splattered across her nose and cheeks. I could tell she was a lot like me, she could hold her own in this world full of men. I did feel a little more at ease with her, but I knew that I should keep my mouth shut. The truth is, I don’t know who she is or what connections she has in this place. 

She pulled a screen out for me so I could undress in privacy, in all honesty, I was appreciative but I knew that when Isaac got here, all modesty would be lost. 

As I shakily removed the remaining layers, I could hear the water being spilled into the basin. I knew a hot bath would do some good, I was just nervous for Isaac to find out that I had been claimed. I knew that that was on his mind, was he going to be mad? Would he not care? In all honesty, I wouldn’t be surprised if he beat the s**t out of me. 

In a soothing voice, Leahry called to me, 

“The water is ready Madame. There is a robe hanging over the screen if you would like to keep your modesty around me.” It wasn’t necessarily her that I wanted to hide from, I just didn’t want people to see more of me than needed. I slipped the robe up over my shoulders and wrapped it around tight. I couldn’t see to get my feet moving, I knew that this was just a preliminary step towards the inevitable.

Leahry held out her hand as I stepped into the basin, once my feet were planted firmly she excused herself so I could disrobe and slip into the water. I leaned my head back and let the tears flow. I was thankful to not have cuts and bruises or a broken rib, but I missed home. Graham a was going to murder me when he comes to get me. I can hear the conversation in my head. 

How could you do something so stupid! Do you realize what he could have done to you? You’re lucky that I was able to find you. I don’t know what I would have done if he had killed you! I know that you want to sacrifice your life for your sister’s but there is a way to get he back without you throwing yourself into the fire! 

I could see the fire and the hatred in his eyes, I could hear the edge to his voice as he laid into me. I could feel the heat on my back as I imagined the leather biting my skin. I would much rather take that punishment, Graham would never do it maliciously, he would do what he needed to do without going to far. Here with Isaac, was much more unpredictable and dangerous. 

I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing, I couldn’t stop my thoughts from circling. I hadn’t noticed that the water was now cold and I had goosebumps coating my skin. I was just about to get out when the door burst open, there was no knock or addressing. I instinctively covered myself up. Isaac stepped into the room with a wicked smile on his face. 

“I was expecting you to be dressed for dinner by now, but this is better than I could imagine.” He saw the fear in my eyes and noticed that I was covering myself up. “There is no need to be modest my beloved, we’re about to get truly acquainted.” I couldn’t stop him from walking towards me, I was trapped, there is no way that I can hide myself from him. 

Isaac made his way to the side of the tub. I tried to keep my eyes down to the water, I didn’t want to look at him. 

“You’re not going to look at me? Well, there are ways to fix that.” Isaac grabbed a fistful of hair and tilted my head against the back of the tub. “That’s better, now I can see your angelic face. This is how our night is going to go. First, I will take you as many time as i feel like it, and you will surrender to me with a smile on your face. Then, I will have dinner brought up to us, I have no intention on putting clothes on you. I know that you have been claimed, but frankly, I don’t give a damn. You are mine now, and if you do not behave, you will never leave this room. Is that understood? Do not run, do not fight, if you do, I will have to restrain you, I would rather not do that. Be a good little lass and do as you’re told.” 

The tears started to flow as the weight of my actions settled in, I knew that I had to do this, it was the only way to find my sister and to stay alive. 

“Do you understand me lass?” I gulped the bile down and willed the tears to stop.

“Yes, master.” His eyes lit up as I addressed him by his new name. I refused to use ‘my lord’, that was something special that I didn’t want to tarnish. Through all of the unspeakable things that were about to happen to me, I wanted to hold onto something that reminds me of the life that I once lived. I kept thinking about Graham as I slowly stood from the basin. Cold water continued to drip from my breasts down to my toes. I carefully stepped out onto the bare skin rug outside the tub. Every time I had to look up at Isaac, I pictured Graham. I pictured his kind eyes and his humorous smile. I tried to imagine that we were at home, about to make love in our bed. I wanted the sweet, sensual experience that Graham gave me. I knew that I wasn’t going to get that here, I had to put my best seductive face on and pretend that it wasn’t Isaac. 

Isaac pushed the settee up against the wall. He was leaning back against the wall with his c**k in his hand. He was anticipating my every move, he was watching me carefully, I’m sure he thought that I was going to run. As much as I wanted to puke, I knew I had to stay calm and do this, I had to make him trust me. 

“That’s it lass, come to me.” It took every ounce of energy in my body to keep my body moving towards him. When I finally reached him, I took a deep breath before placing my hands on his shoulders. I leaned down and kissed him, he tasted like whiskey and tobacco. I kept him distracted with my lips as I slipped down onto him. He took a sharp inhale as I let him fill me. I was not wet so it was definitely more uncomfortable. I felt my vision of Graham start to slip away so I shut my eyes tight and willed him to return. I adjusted my knees so I was hugging his hips under me. I felt his hands travel the length of my spine until they were grasping onto my ass. Isaac broke his lips away from mine and looked up at me. 

“My my my, what has gotten into you.” He c****d his eyebrow, second guessing my motive. I placed my finger against his lips. 

“Shh, just relax master, I want you to enjoy this.” Isaac shook it off and tilted his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. I took a deep breath and rode him like my life depended on it. I knew that I wasn’t going to c*m, but I as going to give him the best show of his life. I didn’t know how many times I was going to have to do this, but I was going to get more and more information out of him every time. 

I knew that Graham was on his way to me, I just had to stay strong and do what I have to to survive. I reached back and placed my hands on the top of his thighs and threw my head back, it was time for the performance of a life time. I started to moan and pant as I waited for him to finish. He leaned forward and started kissing my sternum. His lips found their way to my breasts as I heard his breathing labor, he was close. I only wish that I could bath myself again after this. I felt absolutely filthy, I wanted to burn my skin off.

Isaac threw his arms around my back and pulled me to him as he emptied himself into me. I felt him flex himself inside of me and his thigh muscles tightened. Isaac’s lips made their way up to mine and he bit down on my bottom lip. I prayed that he would release me from his grip, I wanted to rid my body of his demon seed. The longer he was inside of me, the more likely I was to get pregnant, and I was not about to have his children. I tried to wiggle my way free but he trapped me on his lap. He kept kissing my chest and tracing his fingers along my back. 

“We should really get some food in you, I will expect you to do that again and again and again.” When he finally let me go, I subtly slipped behind the screen to use the chamber pot. I had a headache and I wanted to puke.

“Are you almost finished yet my love?” I wanted to stay behind this screen forever, I didn’t want to face him. Now that he got what he wanted, I knew that there wasn’t much to talk about. I was going to have to sit there while he objectified me. I wanted to wrap myself in a robe or a blanket, I would somehow have to make him believe that I was just ‘cold.’ 

“I’m almost finished.” I was determined to sit like this as long as possible, I needed gravity to work in my favor. 

I could smell the roast beef wafting towards me and my stomach started to grumble. If I stayed here any longer, he would just come get me. I took a deep breath and prayed that I wouldn’t get pregnant by this beast of a man . I snuck out into the the common area and grabbed my robe before he could notice. I wrapped it tight around my chest and shuffled over to the bed. Isaac already had our food set out on top of the mattress. My mouth started to water and my stomach started to rumble. 

Isaac chuckled as he took me in, “are you hungry lass?” I gave him a shy smile as I climbed up onto the bed. I gobbled down every bite of what he put in front of me, I didn’t realize how hungry I was until now. Once we were finished eating, he started to get dressed.

“If you’ll excuse me, I have to attend to some things. Do not make me chain you to this bed. I will be back soon.” I nodded my head just as I swallowed the last bite of food. I knew that he was probably going to check on Fiona. 

“Master, may I see her?” He stopped in his track with his back still facing me. Without turning around, he answered.

“Oh my love, it is still too soon for that.” 

“Please master, I just want to make sure that she is alive.” That made him turn around. 

“What monster do you think I am? I would never kill a woman for sport, especially one as beautiful as your Fiona.” I shuddered just hearing her name come out of his mouth. He was the one that took her away from the life that she is supposed to be living, he had no right to speak her name. “I will allow you to see her, but in due time. Now, I want you to be just like this when I return, I am not quite done with you yet.” 

With that, he was gone. I could hear the jingle of keys from the hallway, he was locking me in, there was no way to escape at this moment. I had to continue this charade a little longer, I needed to make sure that his guard was down, hopefully one day soon, he would forget to lock the door. 

It seemed like it was an eternity while I waited for Isaac to return. Not that I wanted him to come back, I was just losing all track of time. Leahry had come by to drop off some tea a pastries for me to nibble on. After a while, I started to pace the room, I couldn’t think of anything else to do. 

I heard the familiar jingle of keys in the hallway. I pushed myself off of the settee and bounded over to the bed, just in case he was going to be literal about how he left me. 

“Hello beautiful, I brought you something to calm your nerves.” He produced a crystal canister from behind his back and two glasses. I recognized the brown liquid to be brandy. 

I gave him a shy smile as he walked back over to the bed. I tied my robe a little tighter around my waist as he sat on the bed. Isaac set down the bottle and glasses on the table on the far side of the bed. He slowly walked towards me with lust in his eyes. 

“It appears that you are trying to cover up that incredible little body of yours.” He grazed my neck as he followed the fabric down to my bust. Without untying my sash he slipped my robe off of my shoulders. He stared down at me as he finished ridding me of my robe. He carelessly tossed it off to the side and pushed me onto my back. 

He removed his kilt and shirt before positioning himself in between my hips. He pulled down on my thighs so I was hanging off the bed just a bit. I knew what was coming, and I couldn’t stop it, I knew better than to fight, all the while hating myself. 

How can you do this to Graham?

He has done nothing but love you?

You are a claimed woman!

This man is disgusting and you are willingly surrendering yourself to him?

What the f**k is the matter with you?

I tried to block out my conscious, because she is f*****g pissed. I had to keep my eye on the prize, it didn’t matter what happened to me, as long as Fiona was alive and well. As long as I complied and did what I was told, it would ensure her safety. 

I faked a moan as he slid into me, I really wanted to kick and scream and fight him off, but I blanked out my mind and pretended to have a good time. When I shut my eyes, he barked me to open them, it was going to make it even harder to block him out. 

I tried to think of Graham as Isaac pummeled me, but it wasn’t working. I started thinking about my home land, the beautiful sunrise that I witnessed as we rode away from my parent’s estate. I thought of the picturesque glen with the vast valley and the lake that outstretched in front of me. I dreamt of the warm sun, kissing my porcelain skin and the gentle breeze blowing through my hair. I thought about my childhood and how much fun I used to have playing with my brother’s out in the field. Or picking wildflowers with Fiona on a hot summer day. I was so lost in my memories that I forgot that I was supposed to be acting. 

I clenched down on him and screamed as I played along. I even arched my back and dug my nails into his back. He seemed to buy my performance because he just dug into me deeper, I could feel the difference, but it didn’t make me any less nauseous. Isaac started to curse under his breath and he pressed my wrists into the mattress as he filled me.  

When he finished he leaned down and kissed the tip of my nose. 

“Now that’s a good lass.” He pulled out of me, letting my feet swing down to the floor. He walked away to grab a warm cloth to wash up. I quickly adjusted myself and ran to the chamber pot. When I came back, Isaac was already back in bed. I wrapped myself in my robe and crawled in next to him. I didn’t get any information today, but I would try again tomorrow. 

I knew that I was going to have to start counting the minutes. I would have to lie in wait until I could escape, I knew that that day was rapidly approaching, I just prayed that it would come sooner rather than later.
