Summers End

A couple of minutes after Lagertha and Gyda had gone to sleep Thorfinn had decided that it was time he slept as well. "Go to sleep Arwyn," he told the girl beside him as he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. She would need the sleep as he was planning on having Lagertha make good on her promise to turn her into a proper shield maiden. Elijah had been teaching her as of late, but the difference in their bodies made it difficult for his style to work with her. Lagertha was slender and only a few inches taller than Arywn so she would make a much more effective teacher.

"Will you be okay lord?" Arywn asked, she could sense that he was troubled and she didn't want to leave her lord while in such a state.

Thorfinn smiled at Arywn, something which warmed her heart. Any attention he gave her made her heart flutter and any touch lit her body on fire. "I'll be fine," he assured her.

He stood up lifting Arywn by the hand as he did. The low flow of the fire made her look even prettier than she usually was, and the way she looked at him as if he was one of the Aesir, it felt good. He leaned down again and kissed her, she moaned as his lips touched hers. She felt her nipples stiffen and her womanhood grow wet; even just being in his presence had that effect on her. She made a disgruntled huff when he removed his lips; Thorfinn smiled at the cute pout that was on her face. "How about you come join us..." he whispered to her.

Arywn felt her core burn even hotter at his words and she felt her breathing grow heavier. Her dress felt so tight at the moment, her instincts told her to rip it off and pounce on Thorfinn. Thorfinn didn't even need an answer as he heard the slight rumble from her neck, she loved being ravaged by him and would take any opportunity to feel him inside her.

Arwyn had often pressed him to mate her much more often than any of his other women. It wasn't difficult to see why... Rebekah and Hild were both pregnant, her sister had been pregnant and yet she had not. It worried her more than she'd like to admit, all she wanted was to carry Thorfinns child and to serve him for the rest of her life, while she would be contented to do the latter it would devastate her if she couldn't do the former. "Come." Thorfinn pulled her along out of the main hall and through the corridors to his own room.

When the door opened Thorfinn was immediately hit with the smell of sex, the smell of arousal was familiar to him and he knew who it belonged to. He looked over to the bed and saw Rebekah and Hild naked on the bed with their hands between their legs. Their bodies had a slight sheen of sweat and they planted heavily as they ran their fingers across their lower lips. Their little moans and the sounds of their fingers penetrating their holes sent a throb of pleasure rushing through his cock.

Their breasts had grown just as their bellies had, their areola had grown wider and darker and their nipples stood erect on their chests. "You thought we'd forget our promise?" Rebekah said breathlessly as her piercing blue eyes gazed at him. Thorfinn didn't think he'd ever been as hard as he was now, and it was only made worse when Arywn ran her hand along his shaft squeezing him at the tip. "Is Arwyn joining us too?" Hild asked.

Thorfinn nodded as a grin formed on his face. "I'd be neglecting my duties to leave such a pretty girl in this state," he said as he pulled Arwyns dress over her shoulders exposing her slender body. Out of all his women she was the most muscular, while not close to Thorfinn's body type she had lean muscle all over her body and a soft outline of a six-pack across her stomach.

He stepped behind Arywn cupping her breasts and brushing his fingers across her nipples. She moaned softly and leaned her head back into his chest, she ground her arse against his cock which made Thorfinn start to thrust. He leaned down and began kissing her shoulders, his hand moved down from her breasts and rammed down her stomach; she felt herself coiled tightly, she needed to release so badly. "Mmmmmmmmm!!!" She moaned as Thorfinns fingers moved through her honey-blonde bush and slid between her lips. She wiggled in his grasp as his fingers found her nub and started stroking it.

Rebekah and Hild watched with mild envy as Arwyn moaned and rubbed herself against Thorfinn. She could feel the warmth and hardness of his body pressed into her "Please Lord!" She moaned.

Rebekah didn't know why but seeing Thorfinn dominate the submissive girl, turning her into a squirming mess without even penetrating her. 'Gods what's wrong with me...' she arched her head back as she was close to giving herself another orgasm. Thorfinn guided Arywn over to the bed, the smell of the girl's arousal was growing thick soon becoming the only thing that he could smell.

He pushed her onto the bed where she crawled on her hands and knees. "Rebekah is going to be my wife, I think you should pay your respects to her," Thorfinn said as his hands squeezed her small tight backside.

"Yes lord..." she breathed out as she looked back at him with a heavy blush on her face. She crawled forward putting her head between Rebekah's legs, before the woman could protest Arwyn had already begun to brush her tongue against her lips. "Aaaaaaaah!" Rebekah moaned, her hands first went to push Arywn away but as her tongue moved up to her nub she gripped the Saxon woman's hair and pushed her harder into her womanhood.

Arywn started moaning into Rebekah's sex as Thorfinn began to push his fingers into her own tight hole. As she was bent over she had exposed both her holes which Thorfinn took advantage of. Hild was slightly impatient and so she stopped rubbing herself and stood up off the bed moving next to Thorfinn and pulling him into a tender kiss. His hand reached around her and gripped her cheeks hard pushing her harder against him.

"This looks painful," Hild whispered as she pulled away from the kiss and started rubbing his cock through his hosur's. She lifted his tunic up over his body and tossed it to the floor looking at his heavily muscled body appreciatively.

She went to her knees pulling his hosur down. His cock flopped out and almost hit Hild in the face, her nectar gushed out of her when she smelt the thick stench of his pre cum leaking from his tip. She grabbed his cock unable to wait and placed her mouth around the tip, lapping up all the fluids that leaked from it. Thorfinn groaned as the head of his cock was engulfed by her warm mouth, her tongue began to twirl around it licking the back side and pressing into the hole.

"Are... you enjoying yourself, love?" Rebekah asked as she panted heavily, she was grinding her face against Arwyn biting her lip as the other girl thrashed her tongue against her nub.

"Never as a man has been more favoured by the gods..." he groaned as Hild pushed herself deeper onto his cock, letting it slide down her throat. Thorfinn started pushing his fingers deeper into Arwyn hooking them inwards and brushing her insides. "MMMMMMM!!!" She moaned into Rebekah's sex causing her to go crazy and arch her back.

Thorfinn felt his cock start to twitch in Hild's mouth, he grabbed the back of her hair and moved her off. She understand his intentions and immediately went to his balls, sucking them into her mouth and flicking her tongue against them, as she did this Thorfinn lined his cock up with Arwyns hole. When he pressed against her entrance Arwyn pushed herself back impatiently almost squirming; with a swift powerful thrust, he sunk into her tight hole. "MMMMMMMMPHHHHH!!!" Arywns screams of pleasure were muffled by her Rebekah's sex, but the vibration inadvertently triggered the latters orgasm and she wrapped her legs tightly around Arywns head. "YES!!!" She hissed out as her hole began to throb with pleasure, though she wished that it had been filled with Thorfinns shaft.

Thorfinns fingers dug into Arywns waist as he delivered powerful strokes, the slapping sound of his balls hitting her thighs echoed throughout the room mixing in with their moaning. Hild knelt between his legs with her hand on his backside as she engulfed one of his balls in her mouth slobbering on it and heightening his pleasure. Arywn was moaning loudly but didn't stop licking Rebekah's sex, her lord had told her to honour his wife and she would do so. Rebekah gripped the back of Arywns hair while grinding her womanhood on her face. She had to bite her lip or she'd end up moaning too loudly; soon Thorfinns pace began to pick up, his thrusts becoming more erratic and forceful, Arwyn instinctively spread her legs more trying to open herself up to the seed that was about to burst out of him.

Hild felt his balls start to grow in her mouth and she started to massage them. Thorfinn groaned and reached his down to Hild's head pushing her face into it making her take his balls further into her mouth. "Gods!" Thorfinn shouted as a river of his seed started spilling out the end of his cock gushing through Arywns hole. The girl moaned and her sex tightened up, his seed had triggered her own orgasm and she felt herself shaking as pleasure rushed through her body.

Thorfinn drew his cock out of Arywn and watched as her gaping hole twitched, he still had some seed left and he aimed it at Hild's open mouth letting her gladly suck it down. She gently started suckling on his cock while fondling his balls, the act kept him hard, but if he was honest the three beautiful naked women before him did a good job of that as well.

"I hope you still have some left for me..." Rebekah said breathlessly as she reached down and spread her lips. Thorfinn smirked "Always," he replied as he climbed onto the bed pushing Arywn aside as he got ready to penetrate his future wife. When he moved between her thighs she wrapped her legs around him and twisted him onto his back. "We can't forget your other woman can we?" Rebekah hummed as she reached between her legs and placed the tip of his cock at her entrance. She reached out to Hild pulling her onto the bed and guiding her onto Thorfinns face.

Rebekah moaned as she slid down on his cock, she almost fell onto his chest were it not for Hild holding her up. Both pregnant women moaned loudly as they ground against Thorfinn, he had no problem sticking his tongue in Hild's hole drinking her nectar and making her shake on top of him. Arwyn who did not want to be left out sat on Thorfinns arm and almost screamed when two of his fingers pushed into her, she licked the sweat off his chest and brushed her tongue against his nipples.

Rebekah's moans started to increase as she further sunk down on his cock, she was so tight that she wasn't able to fully engulf him on her first or even fourth try. Every time she bounced on him she would sink an inch or two until he was fully sheathed inside of her, every time she took him she always felt like she was being split in half.

Hild leaned forward and to Rebekah's surprise, her tongue snaked out of her mouth and ran up her neck to her ear making her gasp. Hild had smooth skin and Rebekah couldn't help but run her hands over her body before tugging at her nipples making Hild moan in her ear. She had gotten a lot closer with Hild since she had first started serving her, however, she didn't expect to feel excited at her touch, nor did she expect an orgasm to overcome her as Hild sucked on her nipples. "AAAAHHHHH!!!" Rebekah moaned as she exploded over Thorfinns cock; she splattered him with her juices while her hole contracted on him almost milking his cock.

Rebekah's touching of Hild's nipples soon pushed her over the edge and she orgasmed atop Thorfinns face. Thorfinn wasn't far behind, Rebekah's tight hole convulsing on top of him was too much to handle and he started shooting his seed inside of her. "Mmmmmmnnnnn!" Rebekah moaned as her fingernails scrapped his chest leaving red trails across his scarred body.

All three girls collapsed onto him, all sweaty and thick with the stench of sex. "There's still one hole you haven't taken..." Hild whispered in his ear before she lay on her back raising her legs nearly above her head. Thorfinn was treated to a glance at her arsehole, it was soaked with her vaginal juices and looking very enticing.

He got onto his knees and went to stroke his cock to fill hardness, but Arwyn beat him to it, she pumped his cock with her small hand and very quickly made him hard again. He took hold of his shaft and rubbed it against her lips making Hild moan. Rebekah moved over to Hild's head and in a rather daring move she straddled her placing her sex on her face. Hild almost went crazy as her tongue snaked out her mouth licking the combination of Thorfinn seed and juices.

He pressed his cock against her tight anal ring. He could immediately feel the heat emanating from it, but the muscle refused to give way. Rebekah grabbed Hild's feet pulling them back even further; Thorfinn pushed harder against her crinkled hole and her ring gave way, the intense heat and tightness were nearly all-encompassing, he could hear Hild scream in pleasure and a bit of pain into Rebekah sex.

It was so snug in her anus that he struggled to push any further than the tip, but Arwyn moved up to his side rubbing her body against him and letting a glob of her saliva fall onto his cock which she rubbed in with her hands. Thorfinn sunk in further, despite spilling his seed just moments ago he found himself very quickly reaching his finish. "Ruin her..." Rebekah breathed out with a sultry smirk. Thorfinn grabbed Hild's thighs and fully engulfed himself inside her, the friction was incredible and he knew he wouldn't be lasting long.

"MMMMMMMMMMPPHHHH!" Hild screamed as Thorfinn started to properly thrust inside her. Arywn started to suck and kiss his arms and shoulders marking him. Hild was so tight that Thorfinn was moving her along the bed with every thrust, it was an incredible feeling. Hild seemed to be enjoying it as Thorfinns lower abs were being soaked as she periodically squirted on him.

Thorfinn grabbed her hips, sinking his fingers into her soft muscles and began thrusting as hard as she could. All three girls were moaning as they all fresher their end again, and Thorfinn exploded inside of her arse filling it with his seed. When he drew his cock out he still had some left and it covered her belly. However, it didn't last there long as Arwyn leaned over and ran her tongue over her belly.

Thorfinn panted heavily before collapsing on his back, as it turned out having three women was a pleasurable albeit difficult experience. Rebekah and Hild pressed themselves against his sides also feeling exhaustion set upon them, while Arywn lay on his lower body next to his cock. All of them fell asleep together feeling tired from the intense satisfaction.

...

It was an awkward breakfast to say the least, while Floki and Helga didn't much mind the sounds of their fucking, and Blaeja had gotten somewhat used to it. Elijah, Lagertha and Gyda all had to hear the sounds of three women screaming themselves hoarse as Thorfinn fucked him. Elijah had left his room and slept in the stables unable to sleep while hearing his sister getting pounded.

Lagertha and Gyda however felt more awkward, the latter because she had touched herself while thinking of herself in one of the women's places, and the former because while she didn't touch herself her loins felt like they were on fire. Even when she woke up she found herself soaked between the thighs.

Thorfinn however was feeling refreshed and renewed, which was good considering the topic of conversation this morning. "Elijah I need you to leave," Thorfinn said with a serious expression on his face.

Despite his stoic demeanour, his surprise was evident on his face. "If this is a jest Thorfinn then I fail to see it," he replied.

Rebekah frowned "What's this about Thorfinn?" She asked.

Thorfinn continued to eat for a few moments as he looked at Lagertha who kept an even expression. "Things are not going well in Kattegat, and if things continue to get worse then we will find ourselves on opposite sides," he explained.

Elijah took a second to think before nodding in understanding "Father has chosen to overtly support the Jarl then?" He said, though he more directed the question at Lagertha.

She nodded "Kattegat has grown tense, it won't be long before things turn violent."

"You're my friend Elijah... I don't want to fight you, but I couldn't ask you to fight your family either," Thorfinn said with sincerity.

Rebekah gripped Thorfinns arm tightly, fear was quickly enveloping her heart, fear at Thorfinn fighting her brothers, at killing them. "Do not worry, I won't kill any of your family if I can avoid it," he said trying to reassure her as he placed his hand on hers.

"Neither will I or Niklaus, though I cannot say the same for Finn or Kol," Elijah replied doing little to reassure her fears.

"Rebekah will have to come with-"

"No," Thorfinn replied immediately.

"If I show up alone where what will I tell my father?" Elijah asked.

"It doesn't matter, Kattegat is too dangerous for her while she's with child," Thorfinn stated.

Silence then reigned over the room as they all considered the situation. Floki scratched his chin before leaning forward "Elijah is in Uppsala with Rebekah, why should he not stay there," he suggested.

"You mean for him to stay out of the fight?" Thorfinn said.

"It would not be a bad idea to have someone here should all the fighting men need to leave," Floki shrugged.

Elijah frowned but didn't say anything as he considered it. "I would not feel good leaving my family to fight alone, but my sister needs me more than them, I will stay," he decided. Rebekah smiled brightly before running over to Elijah and engulfing him in a hug.

Thorfinn smiled at the sight but it soon melted away. "I want your word you will not divulge any information about what you see or hear," he stated.

Elijah nodded "You have my word," her replied.

Thorfinn turned to Hild "Why don't you, Rebekah and Arwyn show them around the farmstead."

Hild nodded though Rebekah and while Gyda looked a little perturbed at being left out they didn't protest. "We have enough iron we can start forging weapons and perhaps some armour for our warriors," Thorfinn stated.

Lagertha nodded, they had been having a few issues when it came to getting weapons, there was only a few blacksmiths in Kattegat and they were being threatened by the Jarl to not sell anything to Ragnar or his followers.

"How many men can you muster?" She asked.

Thorfinn rubbed his chin "Twenty perhaps? Though maybe a bit more if I ask the older men."

Lagertha frowned "Combined with the men that'll support us that's 60 less than half what the Jarl and Mikael can muster," she stated.

"Then we can't attack, we'd have to fight defensively, preferably somewhere easily defendable," Thorfinn said, though he didn't feel good about the large difference in numbers.

"I know these forests well, there will be little advantage for either side if we were to fight there," Floki added.

"The men would have an issue with this as well, it wouldn't be honourable to not fight the enemy head-on," Lagertha stated.

"Perhaps not, but we have little choice unless we want to be slaughtered," Thorfinn replied.

"Quality of men can make up for quantity," Blaeja chimes in as she looked up from her book.

She wasn't exactly wrong, Ragnar, Rollo and a few others were worth ten men; Thorfinn himself had done well in battle too and he had only gotten stronger over the past summer. He also considered Arwyn, he was conflicted on whether to make use of her abilities, he knew a lot of men would hate her and it's possible some allies might even try to kill her. An idea started to form in his head, perhaps her could train his men up the same way he did. "I will start to train the men and outfit them as best as I can, Floki, Lagertha will you assist me?" He asked.

"Of course Thorfinn," Floki said with a giggle.

"Helga, are you still good at working leather?" He asked.

"The best in Kattegat," she said with a grin.

It was going to be difficult, he only hoped that the villagers would be willing to fight. Even if they lived on his land he knew forcing them wouldn't work well, luckily he had quite a lot of gold and silver to motivate them. First, he'd begin by building up their bodies, like he did with himself and then continue with their fighting techniques. He'd need to test them, they were at a numbers disadvantage so they needed to make sure their men were the best they possibly could be. That meant discovering the weapon that best suited them, since they had a working smithy and a stockpile of iron ingots they could begin forging weapons.

"Floki perhaps we can look into building that contraption we've been speaking of," Thorfinn said with a grin.

Floki giggled "That is not a bad idea Thorfinn, it would certainly give the Jarl a nice surprise."

Thorfinn stood up "Lagertha I need you to train Arwyn, she should be your priority while you're here."

Lagertha raised a brow at him "You mentioned this before and yet you never explained why you put so much faith in the Saxon girl?" She said which caused them to all look at him expectantly.

Thorfinn sighed "Her secrets are her own, I will say that she has the potential to be a great shieldmaiden should she be trained."

Thorfinn then turned to Elijah "I won't ask you to help train or continue training me, you are free to do as you wish here," he said.

"We will continue your training, it wouldn't be honourable to not finish what I've started," Elijah replied.

"What about your family?" Thorfinn asked.

"You will be my family soon once you marry my sister, we are also connected through my nephew as I've said," Elijah responded.

Thorfinn found himself smiling at the older boy "Thank you, Elijah," he said.

He then looked back to everyone else "We have a lot to do let's get to work."

...

The next few weeks were difficult, but in the end, he had managed to get 21 men to volunteer to fight, of course, this was with the promise of silver. Thorfinn had promised them he would pay them a single silver piece for every day they trained and would give them more once they battled. He hoped that soon he'd earn their loyalty and the idea of simply improving and protecting their land would give them the motive to train. Leading them all on his daily exercises had been difficult, especially for the older people, though Magni had excelled well in all physical-related tasks. Despite being slightly craven he was physically gifted, though his talent with a sword was abysmal, he had settled on giving the man a hammer with a thick block of iron as its head; he was strong enough to wield it if he combined that with good armour he could be a formidable force on the battlefield.

In his spare time, he had begun digging an underground cellar a small distance away from the house. He could tell this winter was going to be a difficult one, he wanted to store some emergency supplies for the women in case things got difficult, they could also hide out here in case of a raid. The only others who knew about it were Floki and Elijah as they both helped him.

"You should have them work on their fighting in groups, get them all used to the spear, I've read about armies in the great empire doing such things," Blaeja had told him one day as they watched the villagers train. The idea had merit, the empire couldn't have gotten so large if their army was not powerful, mastering the spear was not difficult either it was one of the easiest weapons to use.

It did however mean that shields would have to be crafted for them. Both Floki and Thorfinn dealt with that, it only took a few days to get a large number of wooden shields ready, and like Elijah did for him he forced them to carry it around everywhere they went. Weeks continued to fly by and noticeable changes were seen both in their body and form, Thorfinn had continued to gain muscle and grew a few inches. One of the people he was most impressed with was Magni who now held his giant hammer in one hand and a shield in the other, unfortunately, his arrogance had grown to rival his skill —if swinging a hammer around can be called skill.

However, the number one spot for the most impressive was Arwyn. Most days he made time to watch her, she looked beautiful with her warrior braids in the sides of her hair. Her speed and strength were far above Lagertha though the shieldmaiden made up for it with skill, it was often she had to face people stronger than her. Arwyn was a quick learner, or perhaps she wished to impress Thorfinn, either way, she did well and improved greatly.

Soon two months had flown passed and the last of the summer sun had disappeared, now the colder seasons were approaching. Thorfinn knew the fighting was close, neither side would fight during the winter and would not wait until spring.

This fall promised to be bloody.

(AN: So a bit of a time skip, it would be kinda boring if I went over the training in detail rather than getting to the good stuff. You know it's pretty crazy that Thorfinns harem consists mainly of blonde women, I'm not projecting I promise. I'm a redhead connoisseur myself, but I've been known to like a few blondes I mean come on have you seen Rebekah, Lagertha? damn... anyway Thorfinn still believes they are at too much of a disadvantage so he's going to try and magic some shit up. I hope you enjoyed the chapter.)
