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.
