CHAPTER TWO
✣✣✣
Alora had enjoyed her time with Uhtred very much, even joining his group to Thyra's wedding, as well as her brother's. And he had enjoyed herself in their company, they had not treated her like most men did, and instead let her do whatever she needed to do.
Shortly after Alora joined, Uhtred let a monk join, Osferth, he had been the bastard son of King Alfred, and the nephew of a late friend of his. Leofric had spoken highly of Uhtred, which made Osferth curious about the Godless man. Uhtred had sent him to their home, which was shared with Finan, Sihtric, and Alora.
Osferth didn't meet Alora until a few days after he had joined Uhtred, and it had been the most embarrassing day of his life. Osferth, a young man of 18, who had never thought anything unholy, or impure in his life, despite being the bastard son of Alfred, had walked into a scene which he knew wasn't meant for his eyes. He had frozen in his spot as he saw Alora, who had neared her 25th birthday now, riding a man on the furs of the Great Hall. She had no top and only a skirt around her waist which covered the true unholy act they were performing.
He had almost watched with open mouth, and he couldn't tell if it was because of the embarrassment or the excitement he felt. No other woman had ever made him feel the way he did when he saw Alora. She had noticed him soon after he had frozen in his spot, and she laughed. She wasn't laughing at him, but she did see humour in it when she saw the shy monk stand before her.
"Want to join us?" Alora had asked, but the smile was quickly taken from her face when the man below her released himself prematurely, and instead of helping her, he just laid there. She sighed as she got off him and put on her clothes again.
Osferth had placed his hand before him, feeling his cock harden beneath his breeches and tunic. Alora smiled at him. "Don't worry, I won't bite, are you looking for someone?" she asked as her clothes were on again, and Uhtred, and Finan walked into the Hall themselves. Finan laughed when he saw Osferth, a blush on his cheeks and his hands still hiding himself from Alora, but the men in the room—and Alora herself—knew exactly what it meant.
"I see you met the baby monk" Finan said, shooing the man away who laid on the ground. "Don't shoo him, he owes me money" Alora said and Finan held out his hand, the man sighed and gave her the gold he promised.
She turned back to Osferth and smiled at him; his blush had only worsened when he saw her smile at him. "So, why is there a baby monk in the Hall?" she asked, looking at Uhtred as she sat on the bench, leaning her arm on Finan's leg who had sat down on the table, resting his feet on the bench before it. "He's staying with us, so be nice" Uhtred said. "Promise" Finan and Alora said.
Alora turned back to Osferth and smiled. "So, sweet baby monk, where do you hail from" she asked as she looked at him. "Beware the words that come from your mouth, witch, you will make him release his seed in his breeches" Finan laughed. "Don't be mean, Finan, I am sure a handsome man like him has been with women before" Alora said, and Osferth stumbled over his words trying to remove himself from the situation. He followed Uhtred, trying to stay away from Alora as far as possible.
