Chapter Twenty

Ingrid emerged fromthe boatshed feeling satisfied, but also hot and flushed. Her skin was clammy and she was in need of a drink. The wind had picked up another notch and she was glad of the way it lifted her hair from her neck.

“Well?” Tali said, folding his arms as she approached the new boat with Raud. “Let us see the evidence.”

She’d known this was coming.

“I can assure you, our wife-to-be has learned her lesson.” Raud stroked her hair back into place.

“And by the sounds of it, you helped her forget the pain afterwards with some pleasure.” Tali raised his eyebrows.

“Alotof pleasure.” Gunnvar laughed and threw a net full of fish onto the boat. The tide was coming in and lapping around the bow. Several tendrils of weed had caught on it and were flapping as if trying to escape on each watery retreat.

“It was time for us to have sex,” Raud said. “Unlike you all I have waited many summers to enter Princess Ingrid.”

“I’m glad for you both that day has come,” Erik said, clapping Raud on the back. “But we still want to witness her red ass.”

Ingrid clenched her teeth. Princess or not, it was clear she wasn’t going to get away without giving her men an eyeful of her stinging rump.

“Show them,” Raud said, squeezing her waist.

She swallowed and nodded. Her ass hurt just from the material of her pants rubbing against it.

Just do it.

Turning, she undid her button again, then slowly and carefully, lifted her pants over her ass and pushed them to her thighs.

The sea breeze whisked over her hot skin, and it felt like there were tiny grains of sand in it, stabbing meanly at her sore flesh.

“Pretty,” Gunnvar said. He peered closer. “Not a handprint in sight.”

“I used a paddleboard.” Raud said. “Covers more flesh.”

“Nice.” Tali said. “Well, maybe it doesn’t feel so nice but it does the job nicely.”

“Ja.” Raud slipped his fingertip down the crack of her ass cheeks. “A good deep sting that will stay until morn.” He dipped lower still, until she was sure he’d feel his own wetness nestled there, between her legs.

Erik stepped close and stroked the back of his thumb down her cheek. “Do you understand how seriously we take your safety and wellbeing?”
