Chapter 11

Teagan sat glumly in his old wheelchair. "I never expected to go back to this."

"We will burn it when its done."

"And we will celebrate in bed after."

"I can't wait

"Now you have to look catatonic while Britta will be the shy and frail elf who takes my verbal abuse."

"I can't believe Britta agreed to that."

"She agreed for ten sovereign and the right to kick Vaughn where it hurts the most one time, once he is exposed."

"At least I get to see that."

They had paid the tavern owner thirty sovereign to take a vacation and Marcus, one of the Blackstone Irregulars was behind the bar.

The rest of the Irregulars were outside dressed as townspeople ready to take down Vaughn's men.

Marlena was wearing a red dress with a bodice that accentuated her breasts. Her hair was down and framed her face.

"How do I look?"

"If he touches you, I will throttle him." Teagan pulled her on his lap.

"Don't worry." Marlena kissed him. "We have your weapons strategically placed. Once I get him to show his evidence…he will be done."

"He's riding down the road." Britta said as she rushed in the room.

"Let's head down to the tavern. By the time we get there, he should be on his second drink."

….

Vaughn was on his second drink when Britta pushed Teagan's chair in.

"And watch how you roll that thing!" Marlena hissed. "Stupid knife ear!"

"Yes Ma'am."

"Roll him to the corner." Marlena commanded. "I need a drink."

"Marlena." Vaughn stood up from his chair.

"Vaughn." Marlena rushed towards him. "The Maker has answered my prayers!"

"You seem distressed my dear." Vaughn helped her to a chair and sat next to her. "What would you like to drink?"

"Some wine would be nice."

"You heard the lady." Vaughn growled to Marcus who immediately poured her a glass.

"It's just that I am so fed up Vaughn and look what I have to deal with." Marlena pointed to Britta and Teagan who was staring into space.

"May I ask, what happened to Teagan?" Madeline could see a mixture of concern and morbid fascination etched on his face.

"He had a complete….mental collapse a few weeks ago. It also did not help that our wine master ran off with not one but two knife eared harlots."

"He did?" Vaughn practically choked when she said that but got up and walked towards Teagan.

Marlena stiffened but watched as Vaughn waved a hand in front of Teagan's face. He blinked but did not respond.

Vaughn returned to his chair and sat down. "Such a shame about Teagan is there anything I can do to help."

"Well I suppose I could trust you since you were one of the few nobles who did not look down on me when Eamon destroyed my reputation."

"What Eamon did to you was absolutely horrid especially after all you did for us. I was so disheartened when you left Ferelden."

"My time in Antiva was good for me after I retired from the Wardens Vaughn. I realized I need to start taking care of myself."

"But why did you agree to help Teagan if I may ask." Vaughn eyed her between sips of his drink.

"The answer is simple Vaughn." Madeline smiled. "But we need to be somewhere more….private. I think I can trust you." Madeline put her hand on his leg and rubbed it.

"Oh you can trust me. Why don't we go to my room?"

"Excellent." Marlena purred. "It's so nice to be talking to a whole man."

Marlena watched Vaughn shudder as she licked her lips gently.

"Follow me then." He smiled.

"Watch Teagan." Marlena commanded Britta. "I might need you too later for some…fun."

"Yes Ma'am." Britta bowed

"Fun?" Vaughn asked. "You have me intrigued."

"I have certain….proclivities. And Teagan's current condition has made him fun….to play with."

"Mmmmm. You certainly are not the same Grey Warden that found me in that cell. I think I like this version of you better."

"I'm not the same person Vaughn." Marlena purred. "Now let's go."

Vaughn grinned and put his arm around her waist and Madeline masked her disgust when he felt his hand on her rear.

They walked up the stairs to his room.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Teagan got up from his chair headed for the stairs but Britta and Marcus held him back.

"Marlee knows what she is doing, Teagan." Britta said. "The weapons are hidden in the room and some Irregulars are in the other room."

"Everything is under control." Marcus added."
"You better be right on that." Teagan hissed as he sat back down his chair.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .

"Make yourself comfortable. The tavern owner's son even left my favorite brandy for us to enjoy." Marlena watched as Vaughn poured her a drink.

What Vaughn did not know is that Marcus placed several drops of a serum that would make him more…loose. The only problem is she would have to pretend to sip the drink.

"Now tell me, why you are helping Teagan."

"It's a simple reason Vaughn. Revenge. I wanted Teagan to sign his lands to me and then I would sell them to the highest bidder. He would have nothing and his brother would have to deal with the humiliation. You know how Eamon hates that."

"My my my you have changed…for the better."

"Vaughn…I am tired of being revered without the rewards. I have saved Ferelden twice and look what Eamon did to me. I deserve my revenge. I am retired from the Wardens. Ferelden can find its new savior. I want to spend the rest of my days living a life of luxury and pleasure. I deserve it!"

"I agree my dear. You definitely deserve your revenge and pleasure."

"I was so close to Teagan signing over his lands to me." Madeline slammed her glass down.

"You know I think we would make excellent partners in crime." Vaughn crooned. "Would you be interested in a….partnership?"

"That depends…would that include a little pleasure as well as business?"

"Oh that I guarantee." Vaughn grinned. "I need to confess something first. I have been after Teagan's lands for quite some time."

"Really?"

"Your former wine master was even working for me."

"Jarrod? That bastard took of with two hundred sovereign and ran off with two knife eared whores who worked as my maids. Did you have any idea he was into that sort of thing."

"No my dear and I would not have hired him if I did know. I promise you we will find him and deal with him accordingly."

"How do you propose we get Teagan to sign over the lands?"

"Before we agree to partner up, don't you think its time we sealed our partnership."

"What do you have in mind?" Marlena stood up and walked towards him.

"You need to submit to me."

Marlena glanced at his drink and realized he had barely drunk it. She looked up just as Vaughn struck her, knocking her to the ground.

Vaughn pulled her up and ripped the bodice of her dress.

"I happen to enjoy a little rough housing my dear and I have wanted you the day you freed me from that cell." He knocked her to the ground.

"I like it a little rough too." Marlena slapped him.

Realizing the plan was not going how they planned; she knocked the brandy bottle to the floor and watched it shatter as Vaughn pulled her against him.

He crushed her lips and forced her lips open with his tongue as he shoved her against the wall.

Marlena could feel his hand between them, unlacing his breeches as she tried to get away.

"Vaughn!" Marlena struggled to get away but he grabbed her and shoved her against the mirror and before flinging her to the bed.

"I love a good fight." Vaughn said as he stroked himself through his breeches.

"It was that moment Marlena realized that violence was the only way Vaughn could get aroused. She also noticed he was not very well endowed.

"Get down on your knees and suck me."

The main door was suddenly kicked open and Vaughn looked stunned when Teagan lunged toward him and began to beat him.

Marlena felt Britta pull her away as Marcus finally pulled Teagan away.

"Are you alright?" Teagan rushed towards her.

As Vaughn opened his eyes Britta walked over to him and kicked him. The pain knocked him out.

"I'll search his belongings for evidence." Marcus said as he went through his bag. "We got his men and most have agreed to testify against him."

"I'm alright but I want a bath! NOW!" Marlena shivered as she covered her exposed breasts with a clock that Britta handed her.

"Put him in the dungeon and let us know what you find." Teagan swept her in his arms and carried her out the door.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Teagan watched as Marlena laid her head against the edge of tub and close her eyes.

"You know there is room enough for two."

He slowly removed his clothes and slid into the tub with her and wrapped his arms around her. Marlena sighed contentedly as rested her head against his chest.

"I'm sorry I scared you Teagan. I didn't think the plan we set would go so awry."

"I'm just glad you're not hurt. We did get him and that's all that matters."

"I wish I let him rot in that cell when I found him there. What a despicable human being. He…could only get… aroused when he was violent Teagan."

"The rumors about him were apparently true." Teagan said as he gently washed her breasts with a cloth. "At least he will never hurt anyone again."

"That feels so good." Marlena moaned.

"Let's not talk about Vaughn again." Teagan said in a soothing voice. "I'm here to take care of you."

Marlena gasped when his fingers brush against her folds. He stopped his movements and the way she moved against him told him to continue.

With each stroke, Teagan made sure to brush against her with his fingers, with a bit more pressure each time. Marlena arched her back and spread her legs wider and pressed herself into his hand. She cried out when he began rubbing her clit in small circles as he used his other hand and moved two fingers inside her with deep, slow strokes. Marlena breathing became erratic as moved her hips in time with his rhythm.

"Come for me Lena." She cried out his name and Teagan felt as she pulsed around his fingers.

Marlena turned around and they kissed.

"Now its your turn." Marlena cooed as she stepped out of the tub and grabbed a towel.

"I'll be in the bedroom. And Teagan? Please do not get dressed"

Teagan grinned as he got up to grab a towel.
