Uhtred had always known he had feelings for you but unfortunately he hadn’t realise the weight those feelings carried until he was taken and sold to the slavers.
Life was less than bleak on the slave ship. His belly was left hungry and his body ached, wishing for the sweet release that death would bring to him. But even when the hunger was too much to bare he thought of only one thing. You. Uhtred made a silent vow to his gods that if they would let him live as a free man once again he would find you and he would take you as his woman.
Finan:~
It was just another average day. Finan was enjoying the peacefulness that life in Coccham brought him. He had headed down to the market to pick up a few things and that’s when it happened.
His eyes landed on you and immediately he felt it. Just seeing you filled him with a strong sense of euphoria and comfort. It was an odd sensation, the mixture of excitement and contentment that you brought to him. He almost felt like he would float away with the delight that swelled in his chest yet he was rooted to the spot as he watched you, unable to pull himself away.
That was when he realised how much he loved you and you were completely unaware of it.
Sihtric:~
The handsome Dane was never short of offers from women to warm his bed. He had a way with women, a charm that seemed to have them lining up at his door wherever he went and he was always eager to perform for them but not tonight.
Sihtric had found himself in a quiet room, behind a locked door with a very busty blonde woman who was more than eager to bed him. She made quick work undoing his belt and pulling down his trousers, wishing to taste the dark headed Dane but he just could not rise to the occasion. This was a first for Sihtric and although he felt a little ashamed and embarrassed all he could think about was you.
He did not want the woman in front of him, he didn’t want any woman in fact. He just wanted you. That’s when he realised that you owned his heart and subsequently his manhood also.
Osferth:~
Osferth did not know what love felt like. Unfortunately he had lived his life without truly ever experiencing it. He was the bastard son of the king, ripped from his mother’s arms and shipped off to a monastery to live as a child god.
Life had been cold for poor Osferth, the only bit of warmth he had ever felt was from you. You were another bastard, born from a noblewoman and a man who was not her husband and much like Osferth you were sent away to prevent your poor parents of looking at the sin they had created.
When Osferth was accepted into the group of men that followed Uhtred he paid his old life no attention, grateful to see it behind him. That was until tonight. As he laid on his makeshift bed on the floor, staring up at the stars as the campfire gave out its last few flames, he found himself craving you and the warmth you had once given him. That’s when he realised he loved you and he always had loved you.
Sigtryggr:~
As Sigtryggr warmed his hands by the fire he couldn’t help but let his gaze wander, immediately finding you. He always seemed to find you.
You were stood with another man, laughing curtly at what he could only presume was a lame joke the man made in an attempt to make you laugh and unfortunately it had worked.
Sigtryggr was normally a very astute man. He was always calm in the face of tricky situations, calculating every move before he made them. Always able to maintain the level head that made him such a formidable warrior but as he watched the man stood in front of you clearly undressing you with his eyes he felt his blood boil. It took all of his willpower to stop himself rushing over and pummelling the fool right infront of you and that’s when he realised that he loved you. You stripped him of his clear mind, making him nothing more than a man in love. A man in love with you.
Edward:~
The prince realised his true feelings for you after his mother handed him a list of what she remarked were “eligible ladies of nobility,”
“Eligible for what?” He asked confused.
“To be your future queen,” she said with a smile.
It should have excited him, the idea of a wife, someone to bare his royal heirs but instead it filled him with a gut wrenching sadness as he realised just exactly how he felt about you.
You had been the woman warming his bed at night and keeping his mind busy with his constant thoughts of you but it was only now that he was told he would be married to another that he realised what you shared was not just lust, he loved you.
The preachers tell us that pride is a great sin, but the preachers are wrong. Pride makes a man, it drives him, it is the shield wall around his reputation... Men die, they said, but reputation does not die. - Bernard Cornwell, The Last Kingdom

Death was no stranger in these lands, not in this life.
You had not said a word since the rescue. No doubt your liberators’ minds reluctantly lingered on what you had endured. The weary expression etched into your features told them enough. They did not dare ask lest your tongue corroborate with the suspicions hounding their wits.
It had been dark, and the only sources of light came from Máni and the thatched roofs the Northmen had torched upon their arrival. Your party had been on the way back to the Elmeslac estate, camping out in the northern Jórvík woodland, and when you saw the fire licking at the sky, it was clear as day what the cause was.
You had let your guard down for just a second, and it had nearly cost you your life, as well as that of others. There was no self-pity within you, only a seething disgust and exasperation directed at yourself.
Osferth had convinced you to eat and drink despite your complete lack of appetite—you had always found it difficult to say ‘no’ to the meek lad. The warriors you regarded as friends were treading lightly, and although you had no wish to cause worry, you were too occupied in your mind to comprehend the extent of their reasonable dread—raiders possessed no morals, adhered to no code. They were the very definition of barbaric, and any foreigner in their capture could expect the treatment of a slave.
Besides the humiliating experience of having your nakedness paraded, the blows you had received as a result of biting a chunk of flesh off the first brute that tried to hump you, and a bout of unconsciousness, nothing had happened to you. At least, nothing had scarred you too much.
The night did not drag on for long. Osferth reluctantly retired upon seeing you finish your meal. The familiar chatter by the hearth fell on deaf ears, providing you no comfort as it usually would. You did notice the absence of laughter and crude jests, and while there was what sounded exactly like home, you appreciated the quietness of its absence, your brain thumping too hard against your skull. More men followed and turned in for the night, seemingly not in the mood to call the rescue a victory despite the death of the raiders. Sihtric and Finan left, too, but only once it had gotten too quiet, leaving their dice to echo awkwardly in the hall.
You had not paid much attention, too busy staring into the flames swirling around the head of a torch, but heavy footsteps moved closer to where you sat perched against a wooden pillar. You did not have to move your head the slightest to know whose it was, the familiar clanking of buckles and chains revealing Uhtred sooner than he could say a word.
“Do you not wish to rest?”
Uhtred was angry with himself for not attacking sooner, blaming only himself for allowing you to suffer their presence for as long as you did.
You had known each other for a few years now, lived close, laughed and killed, avenged and cried together—his instinct was to comfort you physically, amicably rub your back, pat your shoulder, embrace you, or something. Today, he was afraid to lay a hand on you.
A moment passed before your lips finally parted, voice coarse and low, as if gravel had lodged in your throat. “I don't think my mind will allow me.”
Uhtred sighed heavily.
You thought he might leave you for the night, but instead he sat on the floor beside you, legs spread, then crossed, seeking your gaze. The need to comfort you itched at his skin, and he wiped a hand over his face, leaning slightly forward with his elbows resting against his knees.
“They are all dead, frozen over in Niflheim.”
It was nowhere near enough, he felt.
There was no emotion in your eyes, nothing that would divulge your experience, but that was no surprise—you were not an easy scare, Uhtred knew this. It made his blood boil to think any filthy bastard had taken one of his own like a slave.
“You will not meet my eyes.”
This drew a reaction from you, even if it was only your lips twitching, skin tightening across your jaw. You tore your eyes from the fire, though they fell on the floor between you and not his eyes.
“I let myself distract,” you muttered.
Uhtred's brows knitted together in confusion. Should you look at him, you knew you would find his plump lips pursed—they always did when he was bewildered. “I do not understand.”
“When I heard Finan call on you, I thought you were in danger. I let myself distract and got overpowered all too easily,” you sneered, shaking your head.
“It’s what happens when you fight with people you care for. It becomes easy to get distracted. It could have happened to any one of us—”
“It shouldn’t have,” you interrupted harshly, finally meeting his eyes. They looked too soft to be the steely, blue orbs of Uhtred Ragnarsson. Something flickered across his irises, and you gulped, turning away once again. “I am here to fight, not care.” The word sounded like poison on your tongue.
“Not even for me, woman?” he chaffed, unable to withhold the charm he so easily wielded.
Cocking your head at him, you scoffed and rolled your eyes, while he chuckled softly, the sound making your chest tighten.
“Whether you care to admit it, we all care for each other here,” Uhtred started. “It's what makes us both strong and vulnerable. But it is not a weakness—”
“Until it is,” you cut in again, watching him wince subtly. He did not appreciate interruptions, you knew as much; however, his scorn was not your prime concern in this moment. You were too angry with yourself. “I allowed myself to be taken and thereby dragged the battle on for longer than what was needed. I put the rest of you in further danger. You cannot say otherwise—”
“I can and I will.” It was his turn to speak again, his tone acerbic. “We killed the raiders in the village, but had they not stolen you and fled, we would not have found their base. I will never wish for harm to touch you, but your rescue saved a great many women and children from collars. They will live because of you—your distraction saved them.”
You looked back up into the fire, resting your head against the pillar. There was no use continuing to fight him on this; Uhtred was too steadfast.
It was nothing but embarrassment that harassed you; however, Uhtred believed your silence indicated something more, and he worried that the Northmen had taken the fight from you. He spoke your name in a voice barely above a whisper: “I am sorry I was not there sooner.”
You furrowed your brows when you noticed the regret in his expression. Now he was the one who looked tormented by shame. Cursing, you finally realized the reason for all the men tiptoeing around you. “They did not touch me, Uhtred.”
Lips parting ever so slightly, confusion was once again apparent on his features. “They did not? But you were…” he began, trailing off, suddenly feeling ashamed to admit to having seen your nakedness when they found you.
You caught on. “Some tried. But when I bit a chunk of one o’ the bastards’ arm off, I suppose they decided I wasn't worth the fight—threw me into the cage instead.”
The surprise gradually vanished from his expression. While he could not believe any man, especially a raider, would not fight to the death for a piece of you, relief filled his lungs like the air he so desperately needed, the coil in his chest slowly but surely loosening. He sucked on his teeth, his own desire too crude to voice. He teasingly nudged your knee with his own. “So that's why you were not too hungry.”
Chuckling, you gazed back at him. “Still got dirt in my teeth,” you jested, then felt the heaviness of guilt return. “I'm sorry for causing you all worry. Aside from a few smacks, nothing happened to me, I swear it. I've only been quiet because I was too ashamed to face you.”
Uhtred sighed and instinctively reached across to take your hands in his. “You have nothing to be ashamed of, never,” he insisted, squeezing your warm hands.
The coarse pads of his thumbs caressed the scarred skin on your knuckles. You sighed deeply, your head drooping slightly as you relished in the feeling of his strong hands grounding you, keeping you. The crackling of fire and warmth enveloping you, the smell of food lingering, and everything him—it was enough to make you feel light-headed. You were focused on your breathing - eyes closed, knowing there would be no danger around you - when you noticed the tension in his hands, and you wondered if it was restraint.
You had seen it before in his body tensing up around you, when you had lingered too long after a wanton joke, stared too deeply into his eyes after a teasing comment. It was always brief—just a flicker. The subtle way his jaw would clench, how his shoulders stiffened like he had to physically brace himself. Sometimes he looked away with a half-laugh, like he had not noticed the heat crawling between you. Other times, he held your gaze for a moment too long, eyes unreadable, like he was weighing something behind those stunning blue eyes.
The first time you had noticed this tension, you had questioned yourself—whether you were imagining it, if perhaps you were reading too far into a fleeting moment that really was nothing more. You had decided to test him, after that, wanting to know if he would ever go further with you. But that was before today, before the raid—there was no challenge now, only the feeling of him. Not just the warmth of his hands, the squeeze of his thick fingers curling around yours. It was the stillness in his breath as well, the way you could almost feel the ghost of it fan over your skin, the way his thumb's caress faltered a tad when you locked your gaze with his, how his eyes spoke truths he could not form with his tongue.
You could not fathom why he was looking at you as if seeking permission, as if sitting with you like this was bringing him immense pain. Uhtred Ragnarsson had never been shy, never been afraid to take what he wanted. You could not help but question yourself, thinking you were, in fact, projecting your own desire onto him.
You were not one to spiral into self-doubt, so in the moment of vulnerability, you decided to reveal the cards you had been dealt. “Are you going to kiss me or not, lord?”
A thin sheen of that familiar arrogance spread across his face, though his brow cocked in surprise. “Is that something you would like, lady?”
Scoffing, you rolled your eyes at his deflection, not feeling particularly emboldened by his sudden interest in what you wanted. Just as you moved up on your knees, intending to leave with a chance missed, he took you by surprise by reaching for you once again, pulling you down on his lap, catching your lips with his.
The kiss gave way for all that had been held back, like a dam breaking, desires flowing freely. You gasped into him, lips parting, and Uhtred did not hesitate to accept the invitation to claim you, hungry tongue sweeping into your warm mouth with a growl low in his chest.
His rough hands held your waist tightly, pulling you closer as if he was afraid you might bolt, while your own snaked around his shoulders, legs instinctively wrapping around his form. A large hand slid down to your thigh, kneading the flesh possessively and swallowing the moan you emitted. Now you felt bold.
Grinding down on him, the firm bulge pressing against your clothed core made you smirk against his lips, biting down on his plump bottom lip as he groaned into you.
“You will be the death of me, woman,” he breathed heavily, though unable to hold his grin back as he needily leaned forward to catch your lips again.
Your hand clutched the hair at the nape of his neck, keeping him in place as you cradled his jaw in your other hand, thumb ghosting his cupid's bow. “Don't worry, warrior. I will give you a fair chance.”
This elicited a cocky chuckle from Uhtred, and his teeth snapped for your wet lips. Something resembling a beast's craving growl escaped him, hissing as your grip tightened in his hair. “Hopefully not too fair.”
You laughed heartily and pressed him into the crook of your neck where he latched on and eagerly began to suckle on the sensitive skin. Grinding your hips again, you gasped raggedly when his teeth teased the flesh at your throat as he simultaneously pressed your harder against his growing cock.
“Come,” you whispered, suddenly pulling off of him.
You took his hand and dragged him up the steps and into your room, where the fireplace cast a golden hue on the walls—since returning, you had not been in the room, but figured one of the men had prepared it in case you wished to retire immediately.
Now that Uhtred knew you wanted the same thing, he no longer hesitated. The moment he closed the door, he pinned you against it, mouth finding yours like he simply could not bear another moment without. Between roaming hands and tangling tongues, you stole breaths between fervent kisses.
While your one hand was entangled in his locks, the other slid down his sturdy chest, fingers looping through his belt, forcing his crotch closer to your sex. Uhtred hissed into your mouth and complied by grinding forward, suspending you against the wooden door with his hips.
“Do you feel what it is you do to me?” he rasped lowly, tracing his plush lips against the shell of your ear. “You have no idea how often I've thought of taking you.”
Your hand slid from the back of his head to cradle his jaw, thumb brushing over the stubble at his cheek as he continued to press soft, reverent kisses along the curve of your neck, trailing up to the corner of your mouth. “So why have you never acted upon this desire, lord?” you murmured, teasing, though the question was genuine beneath the jest. It was difficult to believe that Uhtred - a man of great renown and impeccable sword-skill, who faced enemies twice his size without flinching - would be reluctant in taking what he wanted. “You're not someone to beat around the bush,” you added, voice low, breath hitching as his lips hovered near yours.
Another kiss on your lips, passionate and entirely bewitching. He then rested his forehead against yours, thumb and index tipping your head by the chin. “You are the fiercest shield-maiden I have ever met. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were not someone to simply take—I had to be worthy.”
A coquettish smirk tugged on the corners of your lips. You reached for his hand and guided it between your legs, allowing him to feel your dripping heat underneath the clean gown. Your alluring lips brushing his as you spoke, “and now? Do you think yourself worthy?”
The breath was stuck in Uhtred's throat the moment his fingers grazed your bare core—hot, slick, ready. His blue orbs widened a fraction, darkening as his jaw clenched at the feeling of your desire. The muscle twitched beneath your palm, his breath suddenly uneven as if you had stolen all sense from his being. You gasped when he slid his finger through your lips, coating them in your juices. “You will always be worth more than any man on this earth deserves,” he muttered, tracing the line of your seam like a warrior learning the edge of a new sword. “But I will worship you deeply and violently. I will stand between you and every bastard who wishes you harm—” he pushed his middle finger in. “I will burn kingdoms, split skulls, make the Gods bleed should they try to take you from me.”
Uhtred curled the thick finger inside you, eliciting a breathy moan from you as your eyes fluttered shut. That wolfish stare did not waver, wild and sharp eyes - like the tip of his blade - locked onto yours, a golden sheen from the fire glazing them.
He inhaled your ragged gasps, chest puffing out as if he were feeding off of your quiet whimpers. “I will never be worthy of you, but I will die trying.”
Your walls clenched around his finger, and something sounding like a strained sob escaped your lips as you pressed your forehead harder against his, hoping it would help you cling to this moment.
“Gods, Uhtred,” you whined, lips nibbling at his. “I need you inside me.”
“But I am inside you,” he teased, adding another finger, curling them against your spongy walls, making your cheeks redden further from the squelches your cunt made.
While grinding into his hand, you reached down to feel his hardened length in your palm. “I need your cock.”
Uhtred chuckled lowly, continuing the teasing pace and taunted, “say ‘please’.”
Jaw taut and brow arched, you had to hold your tongue from giving in to the assault. Your grasp tightened on his clothed cock, squeezing. “Take me now, or I will call on someone else—Osferth is always so eager to please.”
Something flashed across his eyes, and it was not difficult to guess what. His thick fingers halted as a knot tied between his brows. “You would not dare.”
“Would you care to find out?” you quipped, tilting your head.
In an instant, he withdrew his fingers and lifted you by the back of your thighs. “You are wicked, woman,” he growled before pressing his lips to yours, leading you to the bed.
You grinned into mouth and let him place you on the soft furs, wrapping your arms around his broad shoulders when he began kissing down your throat, sucking, biting, sure to leave marks—at least, you hoped he did.
As you tugged on his shirt, he suddenly stilled, allowing you to pull it over his head, but it seemed the pre-existing bruises had finally caught his eye.
There were bruises all over your body. The left side of your ribcage and neck was decorated with purple and yellow, lacerations to your thighs and stomach, red flesh where chains had secured your ankles and wrists.
“Do not treat me as if I were damaged, Uhtred,” you soothingly whispered, cradling his cheek so that your eyes may meet.
You watched his Adam's apple jump beneath the skin in his throat and sighed, hating how his eyes filled with a concoction of sorrow and anger. Swinging one leg around his waist, you used the momentum to turn him over and straddle him.
Reaching down, you pulled up your gown and discarded it. You guided his large hands to your breasts and moaned at the feeling of the coarse pad of his thumb brushing your perked nipple.
“You will worship me regardless of my bruises,” you ordered, grinding your drooling sex against his still-clothed shaft. “And you will give me new marks to erase those of our enemies.”
A wild beast rattled against the cage of his ribs, seeking to both wreak havoc and devour, make the world bleed your name.
Sitting up, one hand remained on your breast, caressing the soft flesh, pinching your nipple, while the other cupped your face. Uhtred leaned close and placed a soft kiss. “Deeply and violently,” he reiterated.
Then he rolled you over and admired you for a second, breathing heavily as he took in the sight—hair tousled, naked, panting, wanting. With a deep sigh, he moved to rid himself of the rest of his clothing.
You bit your lip to suppress the contented moan from spilling, weary eyes feasting on the man before you as he stripped. The belt buckle clinked softly as it landed on the carpeted floor, and Uhtred chuckled as you licked your lips in anticipation.
When he had rid himself of all his clothes, his thick cock stood proud, throbbing and waiting, you whined and shifted on the bed, wiggling further down to feel him.
You swiped your thumb across the slit leaking pre-cum, smearing it around the red and angry mushroom-head before leaning down. Uhtred hissed, his chest puffing out as you pressed your lips to the tip, kissing the sensitive skin before taking it into your mouth.
He cursed under his breath when your tongue swirled around him, a hand coming down to brush back your hair, and you looked up through your lashes as you moaned around his head.
Inhaling sharply, his hips stuttered when you hollowed your cheeks, and his head fell back as you cupped his tight balls. The way you watched him was enough to send him reeling, ready to spurt his seed down your throat, but that was not what we had in mind—he was there to worship you, and he had every intention of doing so.
Growling your name warningly, you hummed in response around his head, before he forcefully pulled you off by your hair.
Leaning down, he hungrily licked into your mouth, one hand holding you by the jaw while the other snaked down your body, pinching your nipple.
“Mm—Uhtred,” you mewled, squirming.
“I know, I know,” he shushed. “Come here.”
Despite his appeal, he did not wait for you, moving you further up on the mattress himself. The warrior peppered wet kisses from your collarbone to your chest, sucking on the supple flesh of your breasts, down to your navel. You writhed instinctively under his touch, the hot breath, the tickle of his beard, all playing a part in unravelling you. His hands splayed across your waist and smoothed teasingly down your thighs, massaging the curves, admiring how you bucked into his touch.
“I am losing my patience, Uht—hmff!”
His wet, hot tongue licked a long stripe between your folds, smearing your slick with his saliva. He held you by your thighs, as if knowing you would try to wiggle away—and you did, not because you wished for him to stop, but a natural response from your body receiving too much too suddenly.
Involuntarily, your back arched and your thighs clenched, but there was little room for movement under his restrictive hold, and you had to bite down on your fist to stop yourself from moaning too loudly. Your walls tightened, his greedy tongue exploring as far as it would reach, as he groaned into your cave.
Only when he felt your legs rest limply on his shoulders - bar the occasional twitch - did he loosen his grasp, and prodded at your clenching hole with his fingers. You gasped when two thick digits curled against your velvety lining, immediately nudging at a spot you could never quite reach yourself.
“Gods,” you whimpered, craning your neck to see him. The moment your eyes met his, looking back up at you as if you were temptation incarnate, his lips latched onto your bundle of nerves, tongue flicking your clit and you all but sobbed his name. “Yes, yes, Uhtred—don't stop.”
He would not dare.
Increasing the pace of his torturous assault on your leaking cunt, you felt your orgasm approach, smouldering your restraint. One hand fisted the furs whilst the other pressed at the back of his head, fearing he would suddenly break away. He added a third finger into the mix, and you chanted his name in a string of pleas.
Uhtred hummed in satisfaction when your juices coated his tongue, his fangs digging into the flesh of your thigh as he let you ride against his face, coming down from your high.
Pulling back with a smug expression and your need lingering on his chin, he slowly removed his fingers from inside you. Your eyes fluttered open as he climbed atop of you, pushing his digits down on your tongue before kissing you passionately, like a man starved.
You were panting when he pulled away, pressing his forehead against yours, grinding his hard cock against your belly. Although his ego certainly was in no need of a boost, your fucked-out expression and seraphic pout had that exact effect, and he could not help the self-satisfied smirk from tugging at the corner of his lip.
“Think you have another one in you?” he teased, wiping a strand of hair away from your cheek.
Reaching down between you, you guided his throbbing cock between your slick folds. “I have a feeling you will bring it regardless of what I say.”
He chuckled in response. When you had lined him up at your entrance, he pushed his lips to yours and thrust inside. Uhtred moaned as he relished how your walls clamped around him at the intrusion, and it took everything in him to not pull out and fuck back into you with the ferocity of a deprived animal.
Crying into his mouth, you wrapped your arms around him, pulling his chest against yours, and appreciated the moment to adjust. Still pulsing with desire, you quickly overcame the stretch and ground against him.
He obliged your wish and sheathed himself in your warmth again, and again. Rolling his hips, Uhtred swallowed every sound you offered, groaning against your skin as he continuously stroked that spot inside you.
Your nails clawed at his back, legs wrapping around his waist, only for him to reposition them on his shoulders, pressing forward, making you bite down on his shoulder—it managed to dampen the sounds spilling from your mouth, though it did nothing to silence the wanton squelches and obscene slapping of skin.
“Shit!” you whimpered, panting heavily.
Uhtred kissed your calf before leaning back down to capture your lips, essentially folding you in half. His eyes were trained on you, and he interlaced his fingers with yours, holding them on the sides of your head as he pounded into you. Your head bumped against his, and you winced slightly, somewhat nonplussed. Then he chuckled, the faint dimples showing modestly, and you grinned into his mouth.
“Gods,” the warrior moaned, nipping at your lip, nuzzling his nose against yours, murmuring your name. “Taking me so well.”
The way your cunt clenched at his praise spurred him on. The pace increased, completely careless of the intensifying sounds of your union, and you, too, were lost in the pleasure to care.
With another kiss, Uhtred leaned back on his haunches, holding your legs against his chest as if they were braces securing a pair of pants. “See how you coat me. Like the Gods made you just for me.”
You gasped when looking down, seeing how he sheathed himself in you, your cum creating a pearly white circle around his cock like a little bracelet. Cursing, you threw your head back into the furs, unbridled moans tearing from your throat as he began toying with your clit again.
“That's it, milk me dry,” he encouraged, feeling how your walls spasmed.
His hips snapped against yours at a pace sure to leave your skin red, heavy balls slapping against your ass, mouth open and panting in heavy breaths as he claimed you like he had imagined so often.
You became a blubbering mess as the pressure mounted to an almost unbearable peak. Desperately clawing at his chest and neck, seeking something solid to anchor yourself as you teetered on the edge, Uhtred continued his praise, loving how your body responded to him. It had never been his wish to see you unguarded; however, this—completely unfettered from all inhibitions and all for him, it made his head spin and pulse with a primal need to fill you with his seed, leave no doubt in your mind who you belonged to.
You cried out his name as you came, squeezing him so deliciously he could barely focus on his movements. Hips stuttering, he desperately thrusted until he emptied himself deep in your sex, cock twitching as hot, milky ropes coated your walls.
When he finally slipped out, you whimpered at the loss, but the ache quickly eased as he shifted beside you, draping a heavy, muscular arm across your chest. His breath was still ragged, warm against your skin, and the quiet weight of him there was enough to settle you.
The warmth between you lingered, skin still damp with sweat as your breaths slowly evened out. He was absentmindedly stroking along the lines of your ribs when you finally looked at him, reality beginning to seep back to you.
“Are you watching me?” he spoke softly, voice coarse, eyes closed.
“No,” you lied without another thought, but made no move to turn your gaze from his face. You were not sure you had ever seen him look so at peace.
Uhtred blinked up at you, a smirk slowly edging onto his plush lips. His arm flexed when he pulled you closer, making you nuzzle your face into the crook of his neck. “It's okay. You can look at me,” he assured with a teasing lilt, draping his thigh over yours.
A few moments passed before you spoke. “Will this be a… regular thing?”
Uhtred frowned slightly and moved so that he could see your face. “Woman, now that I have had you, I don't think I will be able to continue restraining myself.”
While you did not meet his eyes, he watched as a smile curved the edge of your lips, adoring the way you sheepishly tried to hide your face in his chest.
You hummed softly, letting your body tangle with his, and pressed a chaste kiss to his skin. “Good.”

the gif below does not belong to me
Spring had started not too long ago and you had just started to notice how long Uhtred’s beard had really become over the last two months as winter slowly came to a close this year, it was almost longer than Ragnar’s was.
At this point, you could tell that it was starting to get in his way. There would often be bits of his dinner in it that he never noticed whenever he would sweetly kiss you goodnight. Which, truthfully, grossed you out a little but you always kissed him back anyway, never wanting to withhold affection from your husband’s life.
One morning as he sat in front of the vanity he had built for you a few months prior, combing his hair as his soft skin glistened in the sunlight and he got ready for the day, his upper body still bare and lacking a shirt, you appeared behind him and placed your hands on his broad shoulders. You gently stroked the warm skin there and pressed a soft kiss to the top of his head, encouraging him to gently grab your wrist and guide you to his lap.
As soon as you sat down and got comfortable there, Uhtred set the comb down and placed one of his large hands on your waist while the other held your right arm out to the side. Your heart beat sped up as you watched him trail kisses from the back of your hand up to your forearm, making heat flood your cheeks as butterflies flew around your stomach.
You then pressed a light kiss to his lips and giggled a little at the feeling of his beard brushing up against your lips. Uhtred ignored this and soon deepened the kiss as he held your face in his hands like he was trying to wordlessly convey every bit of love he has for you until your giggling resumed that is, prompting him to pull away as his hands reclaimed their beloved spot on your waist.
He raised one of his eyebrows in your direction, “What is so funny?” he asked as he looked at you with a confused look in his blue eyes.
“It is nothing, your beard just tickled me.” you explained while a soft smile rolled out across your lips, making him brightly smile at you as he started to brush his beard all over your face again and again, causing your laughter to become louder.
“Stop it, Uhtred! That tickles!” you exclaimed a few times in between laughs as you tried your best to get away from his beard even though he was holding you in place.
“Gods, you drive me crazy, woman. I’m so in love with you.” he said through gritted teeth as he finally stopped and he held you in his arms like you were something he would go to the ends of the earth to protect, which he always would, making goosebumps appear all over your skin.
You smiled once more as you wrapped your arms around the back of his neck and gently threaded your fingers through his long hair, “Speaking of your beard, now that it is too warm to have one, could I shave it off for you?” you asked him, earning another smile as a look of love filled his eyes. Gods, he was whipped for you.
“Of course, whatever you want.” he lovingly answered before he then placed a hand on your back to keep you on his lap while he retrieved the knife he used to shave his face and a bar of soap from the vanity and handed them to you.
You briefly set them down in your own lap and quickly turned around in his lap to grab the water pitcher from the vanity, pour the water into the cup next to it and wet the bar of soap. Once it was fully wet seconds later, you turned back around to face Uhtred, covered your hands in the soap, rubbed it into his beard and wiped your hands off on your nightgown, it needed to be washed soon anyway.
You took the knife from your lap and started to carefully shave Uhtred’s face like you had seen him do many times before, ignoring the way the bits of hair tickled your arms as they floated down from his face to your lap. As you did this, his eyes never left your face, even for a second. He just silently watched you as you removed each bit of hair from his face with such care that made him feel like he was floating.
“Why are you staring at me?” you asked as you continued to shave his face, a look of total concentration in your eyes.
He was truly in awe of you, he never thought he would ever be worthy of a woman like you, “You are so beautiful, my beloved. You have no idea.” he said as he continued to stare at you like he couldn’t believe that you were real and that you were his.
“Considering the way you stare at me every single day of our lives, Uhtred, I think I do.” you told him as you smirked, making his cheeks blush while you tried to ignore how easily he had made those pesky goosebumps reappear.
You then smiled at him again and pressed a kiss to his now clean-shaven cheek a few minutes later, “All done.” you simply told him, feeling a little reluctant to get out of his lap, as usual.
You then placed your supplies back on the vanity behind you and rose from Uhtred’s lap, much to his dismay, to brush his hair off of your dress and into the waste container in the corner of your room.
Uhtred swiftly appeared behind you this time once you finished this task and spun you around by your shoulders so that you were facing him once more, bent down and pressed a soft kiss to your lips as he started to hold your face in his calloused but comforting hands again.
“Thank you, my love. I love you.” he said as he gingerly pressed his forehead to yours and closed his eyes for a moment.
“I love you more, handsome.” you replied as Uhtred’s eyes opened and flickered back to yours, his cheeks now a light pink yet again.
“So we’ll reach the village in the morning, eh?” Finan laughed, the ale still running in his body.
“Yes, so we can bring her back home.” Uhtred said as she looked back at the tent where you were sleeping. “I don’t know what came through her head. She’s lucky we found her. Wandering through the woods at night…” Uhtred sighed and shook her head.
“Osferth! Oh, Lord —“ You moaned as you clenched your hands around the furs beneath you, your face red and hot, your core aching as Osferth kept pounding mercilessly inside you from behind.
“She’s fine. She’s safe now.” Sihtric said. “And she’s kinda funny. We talked during the day.”
Osferth looked down at his soup as his friends talked.
“I’m happy she’s bringing us to a village.” Finan said with a big smile. “Women, and ale!”
“And prayers.” Osferth said, smiling shyly.
“Maybe you’ll finally hump some girl, eh Osferth?” Finan laughed loudly as Osferth's cheeks burned at his words.
“Come on, Finan…” He scoffed as he looked away.
“What? Maybe you’ll learn something! How to properly satisfy a woman!” Finan laughed, followed by Sihtric. Uhtred simply smirked and looked at Osferth, amused by his embarrassment.
Osferth slipped a hand between their bodies, quickly finding her bud, flickering his fingers against it, making you arch your back. He was panting loudly, he let out low hums of pleasure and shy moans.
“Oh — Osferth — N-not there-“ You panted as you whined. For a baby monk, Osferth knew perfectly how to play with your body, he had made you come already two times with a surprising ease.
“No -“ He said. “I know this is the place.” He kept moving his fingers against your clit. “I know this is good -“
“I would know how to please a woman.” Osferth mumbled, making Uhtred laugh out loud as Finan made a strange face.
“Do you?” Uhtred asked curiously.
“We… we study the human body as we train-“
“Trained? You get trained to pray?” Sihtric looked at Osferth, surprised and amused.
“You’re being too loud.” He panted. “They’re gonna hear us.”
“O-Osferth, I can’t — Ah!” Osferth quickly moved forward and covered your mouth before you would almost scream in pleasure. Osferth let out a low moan in your ear, pulling back quickly and grabbing your arm to make you turn.
“I- I am- Coming —“ He panted heavily as he wrapped his hand around his cock.
You sat in your haunches as Osferth kneeled in front of you, pumping his cock quickly until he let out another low moan, his body shuddering as his hips jerked forward, springs of white cum painting your skin and breasts.
Osferth rolled his eyes and got up, putting down his bowl of soup.
“I’ll go rest.” He said as he walked away from the fire.
Finan and Osferth looked at each other with a smirk.
“So it looks like his studies were indeed useful.” Uhtred said, noticing his companions’ smirks.
“Yeah, we all heard them last night.” Sihtric laughed. “Maybe you’ll ask him for some advice, eh Finan?”
They all laughed soundly.
“The baby monk is not a virgin anymore.” Finan laughed before taking a sip of his ale.
In which Uhtred and his pretty boys are caught staring at the woman their heart desires
a/n: my first post finally!!! I decided to start small in order to get the feel of writing for these characters! likes and reblogs are appreciated!!
“I can feel you staring at me…”
You watch the timid monk stiffen and look away from your peripheral. You often noticed Osferth’s eyes were drawn towards you when in the same room. You didn’t mind, of course; it was quite cute, so you never felt the need to call him out on it, but the poor boy looked as if he was about to explode if you didn’t speak up soon.
“Ah…apologies… I don’t mean to stare." His eyes involuntarily straying back towards you for a moment before he forced his gaze to the wooden floorboards beneath his feet.
“Have I got something on my face?” You tear your gaze from the arrow you had been crafting, now trailing over the anxious-looking monk. “Or perhaps my hair is askew?” A smile curls its way onto your lips as you watch Osferth shake his head at your teasing, his eyes flickering up to your face before dropping back down as if he couldn’t decide if he wanted to meet your gaze.
"N…n-no, my lady, you-“
"I’m teasing you, Osferth,” you cut him off, not wanting him to embarrass himself further, his own lips curling into a smile as his eyes finally decided that he did want to meet your gaze.
“Oh…” His voice is barely above a whisper. “Right…”
The two of you fall into a comfortable silence as your attention is drawn back to what you were doing before.
and again, Osferth is staring.
He watches as your hands craft arrow after arrow as if it were nothing more than muscle memory.
From the corner of your eye, you notice Osferth fidgeting again, unsure if he should leave or try to start another conversation with you.
“Come, sit,” you break the silence, making the decision for him as you offer him the seat across from you. “I’ll show you how to make an arrow.”
“I can feel you staring at me.”
Your voice cuts through the loud ale house, but Finan seemed to hear you just fine from where he was standing, slumped against the wall next to where you sat.
“What? Now I’m not allowed to look at ya?" He scoffs, bringing the mug to his lips.
“First ya take my seat, and now ya won’t even let me look at ya?" He jests, shaking his head as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.
Your eyes roll at his words, unable to hide the smile Finan seemed to always bring to your lips.
“I’m going to get us some more ale,” you state with a laugh, plucking the mug from his hands as you stand up and make your way to the barmaid behind the counter.
Of course, once you left, Finan reclaimed his stolen seat. You opened your mouth to protest, but before you’re able to get a word out, he’s pulling you into his lap, the ale in the mugs sloshing around, coating your hands in the sticky liquid.
“Finan!” you scold. “I’m covered in ale now, you bastard!”
He shushes you as he takes one of the filled mugs from your hands. “I’ll help you clean it off later; just sit still and let me enjoy a nice cup of ale with a pretty girl on my lap.”
“I can feel you staring at me,”
A grin stretches it’s way onto Uhtred’s face as he tore another piece of chicken from the bone, his eyes flickering down to the meat as he slips it into his mouth before his gaze moves back to yours.
“Am I not allowed to look at my woman anymore?” He said in his usual smug tone that only added to his charm.
“There’s a difference between looking and staring,” you say with false annoyance lacing between your words.
This, of course, only makes him more smug, causing laughter to bubble up past his lips as he continues to enjoy his meal.
“I can’t help that you look so beautiful tonight." Uhtred shrugs, looking back down at his plate as he finishes his food.
“I look the same as I always do,” you argue, standing up to put away the plates.
As you walk by, Uhtred catches your waist with his hand. He leans back in his chair, his thumb gently moving back and forth, tracing the skin beneath your clothes.
“That doesn’t make you any less beautiful to me." His voice was softer than before; the smugness was gone as he gazed up at you.
“Sit, I would like to enjoy this moment with you a little longer." He releases your waist at the request, and you obliged, of course. Who are you to deny Lord Uhtred such a simple request? A request that ended up leading you right into his bed.
“I can feel you staring at me.”
You pull your hands from the cold water of the river, giving Sihtric your full attention. It was hard to believe he was the warrior that people said he was because every time you got a look at him, he looked more like a puppy than a man to you, much like he did now, staring at you with wide eyes, shifting in the place he stood as he worked up the courage to speak more than his usual two words to you.
“I wasn’t staring." His voice was light, almost light enough to be carried away in the wind, but you heard him. You always did.
“No?” you hummed, turning your attention back to the wet dress in your hand. “Just happened to be strolling by the river, looking in my direction then?”
There was a pause; for a moment, the only sound you heard was the sound of the river as you used it to wash your clothes.
“You shouldn’t be out here alone." Sihtric spoke up, changing the subject. It seemed he’d rather focus on you in this moment.
“I’m not alone,” you replied, squeezing the water from the dress you were cleaning. “You’re here.” You look back at him from over your shoulder, smiling at the sight of him moving his gaze down to his feet.
“Will you come and make yourself useful, or are you just going to stand there and stare at me?” Your invitation seems to break the barrier between you two, the leaves crunching beneath his feet getting louder as he gets closer.
“I was not staring,” he mumbles, taking one of the dirty pieces of clothing from her basket and dipping it into the river.
