Intermission - Alexis (5)

That evening Cedric summoned Velma to his tent.

"It's time for you to work for me," he said casually.

Velma averted her eyes from his face. She knew this would come eventually. Although Cedric said he'd give her a few days to rest from serving his men, she never expected him to include himself.

Seeing that she wasn't moving Cedric cupped her chin in his hand and raised her face. Her eyes slid off of him to stare at the tent's ceiling behind his head, but he didn't mind. He bent down and kissed her on her lips, slowly and methodically, but she didn't respond.

Disappointed, Cedric tried kissing her neck and fondling her bottom and her chest, but there was still no response at all. Velma simply stood as stiff as a statue, unwillingly tolerating his actions. Finally, Cedric sighed and gave up.

"Take off your clothes and lie down," he said.

Velma finally looked at him again.
