Chapter 112

Simon and Vagn were in their chamber, lying naked in bed. Simon kissed his lover, caressing the whip marks on his bakc.

"Oh Simon, I want it again", he moaned.

"Ask, and you shall receive", he chuckled sardonically, caressing him with the whip, before lifting it and striking him.

Vagn moaned in pain and ecstacy, the tiny pinpricks of blood on his flesh like rubies in the dim light. Simon had an equally ecstatic look on his face, enjoying the torment he inflicted.

"That was wonderful, Simon. Too bad about your wife, how much longer do we have?", he grumbled.

"She is with child, she told me yesterday. After the child is born, then we get rid of her. The brat can be raised by Mrs. Jarvinen. Hopefully it is a boy, I need an heir, a girl would be fine as well, I need someone to inherit everything", he replied.

Vagn stroked his head, kissing his cheek. "Shall I go to the village and get a boy for us? Finnish boys are so pretty", he chuckled.

"Yes, I am in the mood for some young flesh. Pay off the mother, though, and tell her to keep her mouth shut. Finns are like children, several kronor should do", he said.


Bridget sat in front of her vanity, as Maria brushed her hair. She dismissed her maid, placing her hand protectively over her belly.

I am with child, she thought, a sad smile on her lips. I hope it is Dave's child, and not Simon's. But I took the potion when we slept together, except for that last time...

Her eyes widened in delight, hope filling inside her. If I conceived that night, it could be Dave's child, instead. But even if it were Simon's child, I would love them. It is not their fault, who their father is, she vowed.

I wonder how everyone back home is doing. I wonder if Sean is courting Sonja, and how all the children are doing, and if Master Burton still tells the children Black Sabbath stories, she chuckled to herself.

She swiftly undressed and put on her shift, climbing under the covers of the bed. She was grateful that Simon had not come to her; in fact, he had not touched her since they had arrived.

That is odd, but I am grateful. Lying with him was terrible. Maybe he has a mistress who slakes his lust. Oh Dave, hopefully this is your child, and your child will be as good and handsome as you are, she prayed, silent tears falling down her cheeks.

That was sooooo sad. Poor Bridget. It's a good thing that it's not me because I would have poisioned Simon, and probably have gotten myself beheaded in the process.

I wonder how they can find out if the baby is Dave's. They didn't have The Maury Povich Show to go do paternity tests. :lol:


I sooooo can't wait for more of this.

I'm in a generous mood, so here's another chapter. Can you guess who Pekka and Johannes are based on? Hint: they are based on the lead singer and the bassist of a popular Finnish rock group who's merchandise is popular at Hot Topic.

Chapter 113

Pekka Toivenen and his friend Johannes Valo left their village of Rantajarvi. "The manor is hiring, and I need the coin to court Hanna", said Pekka eagerly.

"Yes, I know, you two drive me sick with all your love-talk. I wish I court a woman, but all the women want to court me", chuckled Johannes sardonically.

Pekka smiled at his friend. Poor Johannes, it is not his fault he is as beautiful as a woman, he mused.

Pekka and Johannes were as physically dissimilar as two friends could be. Pekka was short and stout, his dark brown hair and olive skin a reminder of his Gypsy heritage. His round face was dominated by bright blue eyes and full lips, which were often turned up in a smile. Johannes was tall and slender, wavy dark brown hair falling past his shoulders. His face was delicate, with an androgynous beauty, with its full lips, high cheekbones and brilliant green eyes.

"I would not mind being coveted by so many women, Johannes. It is better than being an ugly troll like myself", he joked.

"Of course you would, you are not exactly handsome yourself", he retorted.

They reached the house several minutes later. Pekka knocked on the door, and it was answered by Mrs. Jarvinen.

"Hello, may I help you?", she asked kindly.

"Yes, we wish to apply for employment here", said Pekka.

"Follow me, lads", she said, leading them inside.

Simon had just emerged from his chamber, a satisfied grin on his face. He was going to the kitchen for a cup of tea, when he saw the young men.

He quickly glanced over at Pekka, dismissing him as being too ugly. His gaze fell on Johannes, the green orbs widening in lust. What a pretty boy, he is far prettier than the peasants in the village.

His expression was bland, as he looked at the two young men. "Paivaa, gentlemen. What is your business here?", he asked smoothly.

"We are looking for employment, Herra Bergstrom", replied Pekka.

"As a matter of fact, I do have an opening. What are your names?", he asked.

"I am Pekka Toivenen, and this is my friend Johannes Valo", he said politely.

Pekka felt an eerie chill go down his spine. He gazed back at Simon, finding something unwholesome about him.

Simon looked the picture of the elegant, yet dissipated, aristocrat. His wavy blond hair curled in disarray around his cold, pretty face, green eyes slightly glassy from drink. He was clad in red silk pajama bottoms and a red velvet smoking gown, velvet slippers on his feet.

"Young man, I have a job for you. I need someone to be my valet, to help me. You look like a good boy, and you are very handsome, a valet must be handsome as well, I do not want an ugly valet attending me. What do you say, Herra Valo?", he asked.

Johannes tried to control the pounding of his heart. I am going to be a lord's valet. Mama will be so proud, he thought happily.

"I shall, Herra Bergstrom. Mama will be so proud", he said.

"Yes, your mama will be proud", replied Simon smoothly.

Sweet! More updates! I'm glad that you were in a generous mood because I had a long-ass day at work. I think someone let the nutcases out of the loony bin for the day. Needless to say I'm stoked to see updates in your stories.

I loved everybody's description, even that asshole Simon's. You did very well describing what he looks like to us. He looks how I imagined him to. I'm also interested and seeing what's up with Pekka and Johannes. I don't know which group you were talking about. I'm a big dork, and haven't been to Hot Topic in ages.

I can't wait to see what's going to pan out and what's up with these new characters. I love how you find ways to give new life and excitement to your stories.

Thanks Ashley for the reply :) BTW, this the band I mentioned:
HIM
Wikipedia At the time this story was set, Finland was ruled by Sweden.

Chapter 114

Johannes and Pekka walked back to their village. Johannes was excited at his prospects, but his friend was upset. I did not find employment in the manor, I hope Mama and Hanna are not disappointed in me, he thought sadly.

"Do not worry, Pekka. There must be other ways to find coin. There is always the army or going off to sea", he said reassuringly.

"Maybe you are right, ystava. If I cannot find work here, I can join the army, my father's there, he has connection. At least I shall be useful, defending the land for the kind", he replied sardonically.

"Yes, like the King of Sweden cares about us peasants. Remember when the king visited Turku? He is not much of a king, and he did not even speak a word of Finnish", said Johannes, rolling his eyes.

They arrived at the village several minutes later. "See you tomorrow, Pekka", said Johannes, waving goodbye to his friend.

"Johannes, did you find employement?", asked his mother, Olga, speaking with a slight Russian accent. She was still slim and lovely, her blond hair braided and piled on top of her head, her blue eyes cheerful.

"Joo, Mama. Herra Bergstrom said I shall train to be his valet", he said proudly.

Olga embraced him, a proud smile on her face. "Johannes, I am so proud of yu. This can be a great opportunity", she beamed.

"Where is Tatiana?", he asked.

"She is out walking with Mikko. They will be home shortly, he is coming over for supper", she replied.

Johannes chuckled. His sister Tatiana was being courted by his good friend, Mikko. I could not ask for a better man for my sister, he will treat her well, he thought.

Olga hummed under her breath, as she bustled about the kitchen. His eyes fell upon a framed portrait of his father, who was dressed as Macbeth, a smile forming on his lips.

Papa I wish you were here, so I could tell you the good news. I am going to be a valet for Herra Bergstrom, he thought, smiling.

His father, Saku Valo, was an actor in the Teatteri Englannkielnen a Suomalainen, a premier Shakespearean troupe that toured Finland and Russia. He had met Olga while playing an engagement in Vyborg, and had taken her back to his village, where they married.

Just then, the door opened and Tatiana and Mikko stepped in. Tatiana was tall and slim, with her mother's blond hair and blue eyes. She had a shy, almost anxious smile on her face, her cheeks flushed. Mikko was over six feet tall, with long dark blond hair framing his thin face, blue eyes darting about nervously.

"Paivaa, Herra Vestarinen. I hope you are treating my daughter well", said Olga, raising an eyebrow.

Mikko turned bright red, looking down at the floor. "Paivaa, madam. I like your daughter very much", he stammered.

"Mama, you are frightening him. Do not worry, Mama will not bite", chuckled Tatiana.

Johannes smiled, putting an arm around his friend. "Tatiana, Mikko, I have great news. I am going to be a valet to Herra Bergstrom", he said proudly.

"Congratulations, brother. You are becoming a gentleman", she teased, as he blushed.

Thanks for the info. I feel like a total dork not ever hearing about HIM, because I've heard a lot of different bands, but I guess I'm a little out of the loop. I liked the extra background reading material though. :dance

I like Mikko and I can't wait to see where this is headed with all the fresh, new characters.

Awesome!! :P

Don't worry Ashley about not knowing about HIM, I don't know what's on the Top Forty station, or what the hell is the number one song in the country right now :blush:

Chapter 115

Dave sat on the edge of his bed, his shoulders heaving with sobs. Watching Mary and Kirk together made him miss Bridget even more.

Damn it, Mustaine. You ran away like a pussy. You should be ashamed of yourself, he thought bitterly.

There was a knock on the door and then Annaly entered. "Why are you so sad, Dave?", she asked.

He lifted his face, hazel eyes red from crying. "Annaly, it's grownup stuff. You'll understand when you get older", he murmured sadly.

"Is it about Miss Bridget? She looked very sad", she replied innocently.

"How did you know that? You're a smart chick", he chuckled weakly.

"I am not dumb, Dave. I saw how you looked at Miss Bridget. It is how Papa looks at Amy", she replied.

"You're a good kid, Annaly. You're right, I can't believe she got married to that asshole", he muttered.

Sean entered the room, looking about furtively, before closing the door. "I could not help but overhear your conversation. Dave, I know about you and Bridget", he said.

Dave felt his heart skip a beat, but he remained outwardly calm. "So, you're gonna tell your dad and have him kick my ass?", he asked blandly.

"No, Dave. I do not like Simon either, but for personal reasons. Simon is not what he appears to be. You see, Simon and Vagn... Please go, Annaly, this is not for children", he said gently.

Annaly pouted, as she left the room in a huff. Sean sighed, closing and locking the door behind him. "Dave, Simon and Vagn, I caught them in the barn together. They were naked, kissing, like man does with a woman. Dave, they are sodomites", he whispered in disgust.

His eyes widened in shock. "What the fuck? Simon and his meathead bodyguard are gay? Then why the hell did your dad let them get married? Doesn't he have a clue?", he asked incredulously.

"Papa did not know, Simon is discreet about this. I am not sure if Herr Bergstrom knows either. I cannot believe I saw that. It was so ugly", he shuddered.

"Don't blame you, Sean. Got nothing against gays myself, but I don't wanna see that either. Why are you telling me this, though? Have you told anyone else?", he asked.

"No Dave. If I had told Father, Herr Bergstrom would have challenged him to a duel. And I would have been punished for lying", he replied sadly.

"Yeah, no one wants to find out sonny boy is gay. If this is true, this is dynamite. Poor Bridget, married to a gay dude. I had an idea he might be gay, and I was right. So what the hell do we do?", he asked.

"If we tell Father, he will not believe me. And Turku is very far from here", said Sean.

Suddenly, his head came up, his eyes flashing. "I got it! We can tell the Reverand Holmgren. We can ask him for advice, and he will not tell anyone. I have a feeling that this marriage would be considered illegal if he is a sodomite", said Sean.

"Good idea, let's visit the Rev", chuckled Dave.

That would kick ass if the marriage was illegal but Simon seems like a powerful, nasty, toad. Lord knows what he'll do to stop them.

I'm with Annaly. I would have been huffy too if I would have had to leave the room. But I understand why Sean and Dave made her.

I dont know what the number one song in the country is either. I guess that makes 2 of us. :dance

The views expressed in this chapter are not my own personal views, but the views that people in the 18th century had regarding homosexuality.

Chapter 116

"Hello gentlemen, do you wish to speak with the Reverand?", asked Mrs. Hansen, his housekeeper.

"Yes, ma'am. It's a private family matter, and we need to ask some questions", said Dave, smiling politely at the woman.

"Follow me, he is in the garden and he should be in shortly. Do you want tea? And I have just baked a gooseberry tart", said Mrs. Hansen, leading them into the parlor.

Dave and Sean sat down on the sofa in the parlor, as Mrs. Hansen went to the kitchen. Just then, the Reverand Holmgren entered. He was dressed casually in black breeches and a white shirt, in his stockinged feet, the muddy boots discarded by the door. His dark blond hair grazed his collar, his hazel eyes welcoming.

Wow, he looks a lot like Junior. And he's kinda young to be a priest,, thought Dave.

The Reverand smiled, shaking their hands. Mrs. Hansen entered the parlor, bearing a teapot and a tray with with plates and cups. She set down the tray and teaport, going back to the kitchen. She then returned with a pitcher of cream, a plate of lemons, a sugar bowl and a platter with the gooseberry tart, along with knives and forks. She set it all down on the table, before discreetly leaving.

"How do you take your tea, Herr Mustaine?", he asked.

"I haven't drunk tea since I was a kid. Eh, just put a lump of sugar in it, I'm not sure how you're supposed to drink tea", he shrugged.

"I will have mine with a drop of cream, one lump of sugar and lemon", said Sean.

The Reverand nodded, preparing their tea, handing them the cups. He then cut them each a piece of tart, as they ate.

When they finished, he turned to face them. "Why have come to see me? Surely it is not because of Mrs. Hansen's gooseberry tart", he chuckled.

"No, Reverand Holmgren. It is actually a family matter and we need advice. You see, the marriage between my sister and Herr Bergstrom has a problem. You see, he is a sodomite", whispered Sean in disgust.

The Reverand's eyes widened, but he kept calm, sipping his tea. "Go on, Herr Mackenzie", he murmured.

"You see, I caught Herr Bergstrom and his bodyguard Vagn in the barn. They were naked and embracing, like a man does with a woman. It was disgusting, but then they saw me. Herr Bergstrom kissed me, and tried to get me join them. I ran away, I am ashamed", he murmured. His hands shook as he set the cup down in the saucer, the cup rattling as some tea spilled over.

Dave's eyes were wide in shock. Damn, Simon's worse than we thought. I would've kicked his ass, he thought angrily.

"This is a very serious thing, Herr Mackenzie. If what you said is true, then the marriage between your sister and Herr Bergstrom is invalid. A marriage between a woman and a sodomite is invalid, and contrary to the laws of God and man. I will have to annul it, but it will be a scandal", he replied.

"Can you do it, Reverand? Only thing is, they're in Turku, Finland. It's gonna be a helluva long trip, pardon my French", said Dave.

"I will speak to your father and Herr Bergstrom. It is illegal, and I will pray for your sister. Thank you for telling me this, gentlemen", said the Reverand.
