A Nomadic Encounter: Part 6 Hywel woke suddenly. He had a strange feeling that he was being watched. Jumping quickly to his feet he scanned the valley but he couldn't see much in the early dawn. Even the bushes seemed to take on different shapes somehow in this light. He thought about Amelia and wondered if she was safe? He slowly crept into the mine shaft to reassure himself, sighing with relief when he saw her still fast asleep on her improvised bed. He returned to the entrance and sat down again, still pondering on what had woken him so abruptly. A sudden noise quickly followed by turmoil confused him. He was trapped! He couldn't move. He felt his hands being pulled away from his body and tied around his back. His feet were strung together. `What was happening to him?' He struggled against his captives but it was useless. He was unable to do anything to save himself. A voice mocked him. "Now we will see who she wants. She's mine and always will be." He looked up into the face of Amelia's husband. Hywel felt his heart sinking rapidly. `Why hadn't he taken more care?' He blamed himself for falling asleep. `I should have looked after her better than I did.' He watched on helplessly as her husband strode into the mine shaft, suddenly realising that he had led them directly to her hiding place earlier that morning. He felt arms being placed around his body before he was dragged unceremoniously into the bushes behind him. * * * Amelia woke up in a panic when she heard the sound of her husband's voice. `What's happening? He shouldn't be here.' "Where's Hywel?" "Amelia, He's gone, it does seem that he is besotted with you but I'm taking you back home. Back home where you belong." He walked towards her and pulled her close before kissing her slowly. He felt her tremble slightly and whispered to her. "When I saw you yesterday, I realised how much you still mean to me and what I have thrown away. Will you forgive me?" Amelia looked at him cynically. `Could she believe him? Had he really changed his attitude towards her?' "But where is Hywel? Please tell me he is okay. You haven't hurt him have you?" She knew just how callous he could be. "Hywel's fine. He just had to go somewhere else in the valley. That's all." Amelia wasn't sure if she believed him or not but there again he could be telling the truth. He was smiling at her, not like the cold calculated smile of old, this one looked genuine. She gave him the benefit of her doubt. He held her tightly and started to kiss her again. Amelia found herself responding to his touch. Slowly she started to relax with him once more. His fingers caressed her body stroking her softly, sometimes bringing a smile to her face as he touched one of her more sensitive spots. "Oh my darling, I've missed you so much," he whispered. "I'm so sorry for all the pain that I've caused you. Please come home with me now." Amelia looked at him again. It seemed like he was being truthful but she had been caught out by him before. She still wasn't certain that he was being truthful with his story about Hywel either. She knew that he wouldn't have left her without saying goodbye. She decided that she shouldn't relax but would play along with him for a while. Amelia nodded her response as her fingers reached for his belt. She slowly unbuckled it and pulled it away from his trousers. She knelt in front of him and slowly slid his trousers down his legs. His manhood stood proud. She licked him stroking her tongue around it. He became firmer and harder. She continued to taste him before opening her mouth wider and sucking him in. She heard him groan in passion. `Did he honestly think that I believed him? Does he think I'm a fool?' Her tongue continued to caress his penis as she suckled him deeper. She felt his spasms of desire as he started to tremble. When his knees started to buckle, she lowered him to the floor. She knew he was near and he was now at her mercy. An evil thought entered her head but no, she couldn't do that however much she wanted to. She would just have to make him desire her even more. That way it would hurt him even harder in the long run when she left him and besides, she still needed to know what had happened to Hywel. She felt him freeze and stiffen. She prepared her throat to take his load because she didn't want to gag, that would give her game away. She continued to suck him as hard and fast as she could. "Aarrgghhhhh." His liquid shot into her mouth. She gulped as quickly as she could swallowing it all. She watched him as he recovered. Behind her cynical smile she was still working out the best way to find and rescue Hywel. * * * Hywel was distraught; He couldn't think straight. What was that man doing to Amelia? He just hoped that she was able to escape. `Pull yourself together man, how are you going to help her like this?' He tried to calm his thoughts and think about his situation. `I've got to find something to take off this rope. Think. Come on man, think. There must be some flint around here, if I could manage to rub it against the rope that might work.' He shuffled his hands to the ground and felt around. It wasn't easy because of the tightness of his bonds. He flexed his wrists trying to loosen them before scrabbling on the ground again. His fingers felt for numerous pieces of stone before he found one that he was satisfied with. `Got it, now for the hard part.' Holding the rock with one hand, he tried to move his wrist enough so he could rub the rock against the rope. It wasn't easy, it was slow and tedious work and he had to make sure that no-one was going to disturb him. He wasn't sure where those men had gone either. They might come back and catch him. After what seemed like an age, Hywel felt the threads begin to break and the bonds loosen. Pulling his wrists apart quickly he managed to break the remaining fibres. Breathing rapidly and with his heart beating furiously, he turned to the bonds around his feet. He quickly undid them, wriggled his toes, massaged his ankles and then stood up. He studied the valley before moving to a different vantage point to watch the entrance to the mine shaft. Hopefully he would catch a glimpse of Amelia soon.
