Indiscretion

“Lord Primrose’s daughter is rumored to be here at court this evening your majesty.”

“Who?” I turned to the earl of Northwick who was seated at the high table with me, as were a few of the other noblemen who were enjoying their cups.

“Lord Primrose, have you not heard then?”

“Heard what?” Percy could be a troublesome bother sometimes but as one of my oldest and dearest friends I saw fit to let him keep his head even though he taxed me.

“Oh ho, ho your majesty, have you not heard of the lady Georgina? You’ve been remiss. She’s been touted as the fairest maiden in all your kingdom.”

I looked at him skeptically; had she been such I’m sure I would’ve heard of her ere now. Then again her father is a rather astute man, it was probably wise of him to keep her existence hidden from me.

“Where is she? This paragon of beauty?” I had no real interest but so as not to give away my hand, I had to keep up appearances. If I showed no interest then for a certainty he would suspect something was troubling me other than the loss of my brother of course.

“She has not yet graced us with her presence. One such as she must take extra care with her toilette I suppose.”

Just then I saw my sister in law come into the room but looked quickly away again. Lately when my thoughts were not consumed with the plot against me, I have been thinking of her.

I had even come close to going to her more than once, which wouldn’t have been hard to do out from under the watchful eye of the court gossips. Her rooms were on the other side of mine from my sister.

“Ah, and here she comes now your majesty. Tell me is she not the most beautiful specimen? I hear tell she learned plenty at the French court.”

“Oh really?” I looked towards the young woman and had to admit she did possess a rare beauty. Her golden locks, unlike the other women’s, were worn in loose fat curls with barely a bit of lace ribbon holding it in place.

She moved with a certain grace that drew the eye and she was rather beautiful of form. I felt a strange sensation down my spine and turned my head slightly to see my brother’s widow Cecile following my gaze before returning her eyes to me, then looking quickly away.

What was that look on her face just then? Surely it could not be what I thought it to be. I returned my attention to Percy, but something had gone out of the evening. I should just take her and be done with it. Maybe then this raging need would cease and I can find peace of mind again.

I felt the moment she left the room and silently scolded myself for being fanciful. There was no use dwelling on my sister in law, there was no way I would ever defile her.

“Here she comes your majesty.” I turned just in time to see the young woman in question dance by on the arm of some young nabob. Her laugh when it rang out was almost as beautiful as she and I had to agree she was very fare to look at. But nowhere near…I cut my thoughts off.

Georgina and her suitor danced by again. She made eye contact over the shoulder of the young man who seemed to be valiantly trying to win her favor. But I knew from the look she gave me that she wasn’t hearing a word he said.

I can’t say I was surprised to find her awaiting me in my bed later that evening when the festivities were at an end.

“Milady?” I dismissed my man who had been waiting to get me ready for bed, before I closed and secured the door, as I made my way towards the chair in the corner, to remove my boots.

She said not a word just followed me with her eyes as I stood to drop my breeches. I disrobed leaving my garments on the floor as I walked towards her supine form on the bed.

She was naked and ready for me, one leg bent at the knee, the other laying spread wide so that I could easily see the wild honey gold bush that grew there. Her pink cunny peeped out from between her folds as she ran her finger sensuously along her thigh.

I covered her body neither of us uttering a word as my lips covered hers. I realized for the first time since my youth that I wasn’t in the mood.

The realization jolted me but not as much as my reasons. Cecile. Ever since she became free she has plagued my mind, my every thought morning noon and night.

I shook my head to clear it of the images forming there as I pushed my hand between the thighs of the warm willing woman beneath me. Her fingers wrapped around my rod and tugged gently before gaining in pressure and speed.
