Dickerton

AwkwardMD helped me a lot by editing the text of this story!

The Honourable Samuel Alderton was the second son of Baron Alderton of Norwood. They had their mansion Nordwood Hall in the countryside near London, in Surrey. They also spent time in their city house in Mayfair, near the heart of London.

Samuel had one older brother, Charles, and two younger sisters, Julia and Beatrice. His mother Lady Honoria Alderton was from so-called better family and was expecting a lot from her children.

Samuel was in both a good position and also in a bad position. His older brother would inherit the family mansion and his father's title. That let Samuel free to imagine his future like he wanted, but at the same time he wasn't going to have any position or place automatically. So he was able to make his future be like he wanted but would do all the work for it by himself.

He also never received as much attention from his mother compared to his older brother and his sisters. Their mother wanted that Charles would marry up, so that it would give more prestige to the family name. That could be done also if his sisters could enrapture a duke or a count.

No one expected much from Samuel. He liked that, because he didn't want to be the center of any attention. He had intelligence and looks, and he knew a lot about history and politics and so on. He was well read, and listened when men were talking in their mansion or city house. Of course, with his father's standing in the House of Lords, he was able to hear about the politics from the top.

It was a very important thing for his brother and sisters to participate in any social event, so that they could get themselves familiar with possible marriage candidates. So it came to pass, as it had many times before, that they attended a great ball in the nearby Brackenshire House. They were, of course, all invited; Samuel was going as well but wasn't that enthusiastic about the occasion.

They went by horse-drawn carriages to that powerful mansion, but Samuel, who wanted some time and silence before the storm, rode alone by horse and didn't follow the roads in the countryside. He was riding through the forests and fields when he noticed a rider before him. Samuel wasn't sure if the rider was a woman or a man. The outfit was more like a woman's but how the rider rode their horse and was built, the silhouette, was more like a man.

So Samuel decided to catch that rider to find out who it was. When accelerating his horse the other rider also noticed him and did the same thing. The race was started, though soon Samuel had to give up. The other rider had a magnificent horse and the skills to ride. No fence, hedge or other obstacle slowed them down.

When Samuel arrived, delivering his horse into the stable of the great mansion he almost walked into some other rider as they were leaving in haste. For a quick moment their eyes were connected. She was a woman, with eyes like two emeralds when they looked directly at Samuel. He saw intelligence and beauty and, from her manners and clothes, he could also see that she was nobleborn. She was also the rider who had beaten him.

The moment was very quick; it seemed she knew that Samuel was that other rider and a smirk spread across her lips. The lady was very competitive, and liked to win.

The ball was in the great hall surrounded by pure luxury. People were dancing and were social, but there was as much genuine enjoyment as there was performative theater, with everyone trying to play their part as well as they could.

None of this appealed to Samuel, though, and he soon found himself outside where it was already a little dark. When he was standing near a bench looking to the sky he suddenly noticed some movement from another nearby bench. He hadn't noticed that there was anyone sitting when he came, but he hadn't really looked in that direction.

He turned and said, "I am sorry. I thought I was alone. I came to get some fresh air."

The person rose from that bench and Samuel's eyes widened.

"Was there any other reason to come here to stand than that fresh air?" a woman's voice asked, and Samuel noticed that there was again his rival.

"I am sorry I have not introduced myself. I am The Honourable Samuel Alderton, second son of Baron Alderton of Norwood."

"I am Lady Alexandra Wexcombe. I have heard of your father, Baron Edmund Alderton.".

Samuel quickly understood that he was now facing the powerful Duke Reginald of Wexcombe's daughter. The eldest, who rarely participated in any occasions. That is why he hadn't known her at the moment he saw her.

Alexandra was more legend than woman. She didn't talk much, to anyone Samuel had ever met, or dance in the balls. She hunted and rode horses like a man. She was already twenty-six but had no husband. Her younger sisters did their part, and their family let her do as she pleased.

"Why are you suddenly so quiet? Are you embarrassed from losing?" the lady said with a little smirk in her low voice.

Samuel quickly tried to correct the situation and, as he bowed, said, "Not to a rider like you, my lady."

"You almost sound sincere. That is rare from a man who lost to a woman in a horse race. I must leave you here because we can't be seen here in the dark, just the two of us," the lady said, and left.

Samuel watched behind her. He knew that it was very improper for a lady and a man that aren't married to be together like that but that short moment had been magical for him.

He didn't see her for the rest of the night. He also wanted to leave the party as early as would be appropriate. When the time came, he took his horse and rode home. When riding in the dark his horse was the first that sensed something. A moment later, Samuel saw it too. In the moonlight he saw a rider off their horse and they were not moving. From the silhouette, he also noticed that the rider was a woman.

Who else would it be than the lady Alexandra? Was she in some kind of trouble? A lady alone at night, with a horse in those fields? He turned in their direction.

Her horse had lost one of its shoes and was limping. Alexandra wasn't very satisfied when she noticed Samuel riding to her. She would have gladly raced with him again but she didn't like that he would see her in that situation where she was in a vulnerable state.

"Did your horse hurt its leg, my lady?" Samuel asked.

"No Mr. Alderton. It's just lost one of its shoes," Alexandra answered, a little annoyed.

"You're a long way from your home, m'lady. I would suggest to you that if you would come to our mansion, our stable men could put your horse right with a new shoe, my lady," Samuel said.

"Wouldn't it be quite a scandal if the people would find out that we've been riding in the night Mr. Alderton?" Alexandra said matter-of-factly.

"I would trust our men but you are right ma'am that someone else can see us also. I don't want to cause any damage to your reputation, my lady." After a moment, he added, "What if we change horses? I have just a short way to walk with your horse to home and I give you my horse so you can ride with it to your home, my lady."

Alexandra was quietly thinking about that. The suggestion was good, but she wasn't the kind who wanted any help ever from anyone. Finally, the facts forced her to admit that it was the only solution to this situation that could work.

"We have to change the horses saddles and harnesses also because they are quite different," Alexandra said.

They did that and Alexandra rode to the night, leaving Samuel to walk home with her horse. Alexandra was thinking that Samuel was quite a gentleman, but she didn't want him to know it. It just wasn't her style and she was so annoyed from needing and taking any help.

In the stables of Samuel's home mansion the men noticed, of course, that the horse wasn't theirs but they didn't ask anything. They liked and trusted Samuel, and they didn't want to make any scene about it. They just fixed the shoe issue and gave the horse something to eat and drink.

Samuel knew that in a week there would be a great ball in Wexcombe Abbey, another of the biggest mansions and where Alexandra lived. Normally, he wouldn't go at all, but now he had two reasons. He had the opportunity to take the horse home and (the bigger thing) he could see Alexandra.

Samuel's whole family was again going to that ball and they didn't wonder at all when Samuel announced that he would ride alone. It was his way.

Alexandra's horse wasn't accepting of him, as a rider, but along the road they finally got some kind of understanding of each other. It was a great horse and it ran fast.

It was faster than the others in that mansion and rode directly to the stables there. Of course, the personnel there also noticed the horse right away, but they didn't say anything. They put two and two together when the lady Alexandra had rode there on an unfamiliar horse the other night. They were also very discreet and wouldn't gossip.

The ball started with all the formalities and there were a great many people. He was again very satisfied when his brother and sisters were in the spotlight from their family and he could just observe. He also spotted Alexandra's younger sisters socializing actively with the guests. He didn't see Alexandra at all after the start, when their whole family was greeting the people welcome to their ball.

Samuel started to get bored quite quickly and remembered that the mansion itself was said to be very unique from the architecture, art, and especially the library was said to be big with an awesome amount of books. He decided to look around a little bit.

When all the people were in the ball room the other spaces were empty. No one was anywhere when Samuel was walking in the corridors. It was an amazing building and he was enjoying his time. Of course he was also thinking that it wasn't completely appropriate to wander like that. At some point he found the library. He started to look what books there were and was very lost in his thoughts when suddenly one of the library's doors opened and someone stepped in.

The sound of the door woke Samuel up and he turned quickly towards the sound. If he wouldn't be so quick the other person would certainly have turned away before he would see her. It was Alexandra. She didn't like to be in that ball either and was bored. She never enjoyed to be in the places where there were a lot of people and she felt like a prisoner trying to stay in the private rooms of the mansion.

For a few seconds they were just staring at each other. Then Alexandra said to Samuel, "But Mr. Alderton, are you lost? You should be in the ball and yet here you are, in our library."

Samuel noticed that she was a little annoyed. Not because Samuel was in their private section of the mansion, but because she had to face some people. Worse, that person was Samuel who had helped her that night. She had been thinking that she could avoid facing him.

"I am sorry, lady Alexandra, that I am here but I have heard so much of your great library that I had to see it. I was thinking, hoping, that if I see you, my lady, and would ask you to show it to me." Samuel said smiling and knowing that those sentences were a needle in her skin.

She tried to explain herself. "I wasn't feeling very well, so I withdrew in my chambers."

"Then I am very sorry that I am here bothering you, m'lady." Samuel left the book in his hand and started to walk towards the door where Alexandra was standing.

Alexandra was frozen to her place when Samuel was passing by her. He did it with a purpose, a little bit too close. He sensed her presence and scent very strongly and it made him stop close to her.

They just looked at each other silently. Samuel's face was starting to change red. Alexandra watched him closely, not showing anything with her face.

"I was wondering if you would have had any room for me in your dance card tonight, but I understand that you aren't feeling well. Your horse is in your stable. Very good evening to you, m'lady. I will leave soon, if it pleases you, my lady?" Samuel said. The dancing thing was a little tease from him. He wasn't that keen on dancing but he knew that she wasn't either.

That teasing put Alexandra into competition mode again. She could guess that Samuel mentioned the dancing just because he knew that she would not like to dance no matter the occasion, least of all in this kind of large gathering. She also could imagine that the dancing wasn't anything that Samuel was very comfortable to do.

All that made her smirk internally. She could tease this man back a little. She didn't want to lose this one either.

So she said, "I might just have one dance left that I could share with you, Mr. Alderton."

She was very surprised that she said that and so was Samuel. For a moment Alexandra was thinking that she won, when she saw hesitation in Samuel's eyes.

But he didn't back up either.

"It might be better if I go to the ballroom alone and wait for you there, my lady." Samuel could hardly believe what was coming out of his mouth. "When I see you there, I will come to ask you to dance, if you will, m'lady?".

Alexandra was, herself, just as much confused about where all this was going. She just curtsied for agreement.

They both were cursing in their minds when they separated. In some way Samuel wanted to be close to her, but dancing? In that full ball room?!

Alexandra was thinking maybe no one would notice if she danced with someone less well known among the elite circles. Everyone paid more attention to her sisters anyway, and no one noticed what she was doing like always. Or, at least, she hoped that.

Samuel had been waiting for some time when he saw her coming down those fabulous stairs. She looked stunning, and he wondered why no one else seemed to notice that. She could have been the star of the evening, if she'd wanted.

She walked like she hadn't seen Samuel, but of course she had seen him from the stairs. One moment Samuel was afraid that one man looking at her would ask her to dance and he would lose his opportunity. Yes, his thinking about dancing had suddenly changed when he saw her majestically descending the stairs. She knew that Samuel would watch, and she did her best to tease him.

The man was approaching Alexandra but she looked directly into his eyes, and he froze knowing that this wasn't his lucky day.

Samuel walked casually in her direction and, like a gentleman, asked a woman that no one else had even spoken to if she could fit him in her card.

She curtsied again and Samuel took her hand, and they went to the dance floor. This wasn't the first time Samuel held a woman's hand, but he noticed that this was something special. There was some weird energy that wasn't familiar for Samuel; Alexandra felt it too but tried everything to keep her face disinterested.

Samuel was glad that his younger sisters had so many times insisted for him to dance with them at home. Because of that, the dancing came from his spine, avoiding stepping on her toes entirely. Alexandra wasn't a bad dancer either. Like Samuel, she had danced many times with her sisters because they had no brothers. She had used to be the one who led, so there was quite soon a new competition going on who would lead and who was the better dancer. Of course, when it went that direction people started to notice them. Started to talk.

In a stroke of good fortune, the song ended quickly, and they could separate. Samuel escorted Alexandra off the floor and that was it. She kept moving forward a little too quickly, enough that everyone could notice that there was something special going on. Samuel tried to be calm and just walk casually towards the door and out.

Many mothers were now looking at him and thinking if he would be a good enough man for their daughters.

Outside, Samuel could breathe properly. He decided to walk straight to the stables, ask for his own horse, and leave. People had noticed him so he could leave. He had so much to think about. The dance had brought up some big emotions in his mind that he didn't know how to handle. The lady was outside from his reach, but he had started to want her like no other. Maybe if he could ride as far as possible as fast as possible he would forget feelings that could only hurt him.

In the yard, though, his older brother caught him when he was walking fast.

"Did you hear already? We are staying a couple of nights because father has business with the Duke," the brother said. "Things to discuss."

"You can stay, but I am thinking that I could go," Samuel said, but his brother insisted he stay. The Duke had asked them all to stay, so it wouldn't look good for Samuel to leave after that. The Duke was a very important person in the region.

He stayed outside the whole evening, sitting and standing in many places alone. He could only think of Alexandra. He was angry with himself. He shouldn't play with her. He was the only one who would get hurt. She was from a mighty family, and didn't care about him. He had no rank; no girl with a duke for a father wouldn't think anything serious with a man like him.

Samuel didn't notice, but someone was watching him from the third floor windows. Standing behind the curtain Alexandra was in her room, watching Samuel nervously walking around. She could have felt that she won, but she didn't and that surprised her. Somehow she was also interested in that man. She didn't like arrogant men like those fine men in her circles usually were. This one seemed humble. Little teasing, yes, and competitive, but he didn't seem to care if he lost to a woman. That was something new to her. He wasn't bad to look at either, and he danced well. Not that she cared about the dancing, she added in her mind, but her subconsciousness knew that there had been something very special in their dance and she wanted more.

She had to work very hard to keep her face straight when she went to the breakfast table in the morning and saw Samuel's entire family sitting there.

"Baron Alderton's family is staying with us for a couple of days," said Arabella, the second oldest of the Duke's daughters, smiling widely. She had made friends with one of Samuel's sisters, and was glad that they were staying. Maybe the friend nomination was more than friends. Arabella, who was now 23 years old, had asked Samuel's 18 year old sister Julia to join her chambers last night. She had been very interested in what kind of experience Julia had with men. Of course she didn't have much because her mother was very strict when it came to her daughter's reputation. So when Arabella had asked from her if she had ever kissed a boy Julia had just blushed and said that of course not. Then Arabella had asked her if she had ever trained kissing with a girl? Like dancing with other girls before a ball for training. Of course Julia hadn't done that either so Arabella had asked from her if she would like to try that sometimes so she would be able to give a proper kiss when a suitable man would be found? To that question Julia could say nothing, so Arabella had just leaned toward her and said, "You can say no."

When Julia still said nothing, she kissed first tenderly to her lips. When Julia kissed back, just a little, she had gone more passionate, giving her deep French kisses.

Alexandra didn't look at Samuel. She just greeted the Baron and sat in silence and started to eat. There was much for her to swallow and not all of that was breakfast. In a big crowd she could hide and no one would notice but now she might have to be social. Then there is that man also that makes her feel odd feelings that aren't proper to her. She had to keep her calm.

Before lunch they had play time at the yard among the young people of both families. Of course Samuel and Alexandra immediately began competing because they just couldn't lose without putting all in the game. They were playing pall-mall, a game played with a wooden hammer used to make wooden balls go through little gates.

During the game Samuel and Alexandra noticed that they were separated from the others behind the trees out of other's sight.

"Thank you from the dance last night, lady Alexandra," Samuel said, trying to keep some conversation going between the two of them.

"You are welcome, Mr. Alderton." She grew more than a little uncomfortable as the silence went on.

After a while, she added, "You are quite a dancer, Mr. Alderton. You have maybe danced a lot and with many women?"

"Yes, a lot, and with many women. I have sisters as you have noticed, my lady," Samuel said, and laughed a little.

"So you have danced with your sisters?" She smirked teasingly, but inwards she was smiling because she liked the answer.

"Mostly yes, m'lady."

"You seemed to like dancing. Why do you just dance with your relatives, Mr. Alderton?" Alexandra was getting curious.

"Dancing is fine if you are dancing with a woman with whom you are comfortable," Samuel said.

"I didn't know that you were comfortable with me, but you seemed to enjoy the dance anyway so... maybe you were?" She kept pushing Samuel, trying to ruin his game by putting him in an uncomfortable situation.

"You are a very fine lady, my lady."

Alexandra couldn't be sure what he meant by that.

They stared at each other for a moment when, from the other side of the tree line they heard noises that told them that someone else had already won that game. They started to walk where the others were.

"Can you introduce me to the library later, Lady Alexandra? I would like to know what books you are having there. Your library is very famous." he wasn't that keen on the library but he wanted to spend more time with her.

"I think my sisters are very enthusiastic to show the library," she answered him, dryly, "and I think you'll find your way in there without any guidance, Mr. Alderton."

That wasn't the answer Samuel wanted, but he didn't have a chance to keep going because they reached others.

After lunch Samuel couldn't find Alexandra, so he decided to go to the library alone. There were many interesting books and he spent several hours there reading and looking at a few of them.

"You decided to come alone then, Mr. Alderton?"

The voice came from right behind him, behind the couch where he was seated. Samuel turned and faced Alexandra. He didn't say anything at first, just looked. He was thinking how beautiful she was, standing there with her teasing smirk yet very intelligent eyes.

"I thought I should come here to look if our guest is alright and can navigate all these valuable books. Are you enjoying yourself Mr. Alderton?" she asked.

"Yes, I am. I didn't find one book I was searching for. Wexcombe Abbey. In a library as esteemed as this, there must be one of it? Am I right, my lady?" he asked.

"Why, Mr. Alderton. I believe I can help you with that." She went to one shelf, took a book, and held it out to him.

In his haste Samuel reached forward awkwardly, and for a few seconds the book was in the air. They both tried to reach it, and collapsed to the floor with the book between them. Their faces were just a few centimeters away from each other.

They just held that book and stared at each other from close range. Their breathing mixed and Samuel felt again that scent that seemed to make him crazy. For the first few moments it looked like they would kiss, but then they both woke up to that situation and quickly rose from the floor. Of course Samuel was very sorry about what happened. Like the gentleman that he is.

Samuel noticed a bit swelling in his pants when he stood, and quickly turned so that she couldn't see but she was also turning because she didn't want him to see her in a state of arousal. So there they were, standing with their backs to each other.

"I will leave you to the book, Mr. Alderton," Alexandra said, and Samuel heard from her breathing and huskiness of her voice that the situation had been quite special for her too.

During this time, Arabella again had Julia in her chambers. She liked very much about this younger woman. She had noticed that she liked women as much as men, sexually. She wasn't sure if Julia was feeling the same but their kissing had gone quite wild, so she wanted to test if she could go further with her.

Arabella started to ask again questions from Julia.

"Have you ever touched yourself from here?" she asked, touching between her legs.

Julia again just blushed, not knowing what to say.

Arabella continued with a sultry voice. "It is good for every woman to know how to have some nice time alone when your man is travelling or, even worse, can't give you any pleasure."

She then lifted her skirt and, with nothing on under that, showed her wet pussy to Julia. Julia hadn't seen any other pussies before and didn't know where to watch, but somehow her eyes were drawn between Arabella's legs.

"You can touch yourself with your fingers. It feels very good." Arabella laid her fingers on her pussylips.

"You shouldn't touch yourself!" Julia managed to say, finally. "You should be a virgin on the wedding night!"

"No one knows what you've done if you don't put your finger, or something else, in," Arabella said, and continued touching herself.

Julia just looked at her, in some kind of hypnosis. That looked so erotic for her, but also strictly forbidden. Taboo.

"Put your hand under your skirt and do as I do," Arabella said seductively. I'll teach you."

Julia first hesitated, but then Arabella took her hand and guided it under the skirt. From there, it was easier to copy her movements. It was impossible not to notice that she was also wet.

It was so embarrassing but it turned her on so much. Every word from Arabella kept her going.

Because this was her first time, she couldn't fully concentrate on the masturbation; it felt great, but nothing more. Arabella said to her, "That looks like it feels good. I can tell by the way you're breathing, but you can have so much more. How about I show you with my hand, so you can in the future do it yourself."

This was beyond any limits Julia knew, but she was so horny and seduced by this older girl that she let Arabella put her hand under her skirt.

Arabella felt her lips and parted them a little, starting to go upwards. Then she was on her clit, touching it lightly.

Julia felt like her eyes would roll over, and Arabella guided her on to her bed keeping herself on the floor. She fingered her many times near orgasm but then always stopped for a bit.

Julia looked at her and said softly, "Please..."

Arabella noticed that she had her and said, "I teach you one new thing."

Then she went under her skirt completely and Julia felt her breathing between her legs. She was thinking what she is doing now when she felt Arabella kissing her pussylips. Then the tongue went between them and up to the clit.

Julia had to put her own hand over her mouth so that her moans wouldn't be heart.

She was very near coming again when she felt Arabella's finger again but it wasn't on her pussy. It was on her anus, massaging it and spreading her pussy liquids on it.

Julia started to say something but couldn't. It felt so good, and she started to cum. When Arabella noticed that she pressed her slender finger up and into her anus, and it boosted Julia's orgasm even more. She pulsated onto her face and finger for a long time, burrowing her face to the pillow.

After that Arabella kissed her tenderly on the mouth and said. "You are welcome! I will help you whenever you feel like it."

When they were at dinner, Samuel had the opportunity to sit next to Alexandra and of course took it. She tried to avoid contact in any way, but he felt that the energy had changed between them. He felt her presence next to him was no longer that cold distance, but he couldn't actually understand what it was. The situation was quite ambiguous between them. The others were talking so much that none of them noticed what was going on between these two.

Samuel's family were set to leave next day so Samuel started to think that he had to do something before then. Do something that would get him a read on her feelings and let her know his. It was already night and he hadn't seen her anywhere. Maybe she would be outside alone in the darkness? It would fit her very well.

Samuel went out, making sure that no one saw him. He started to circle around the mansion but he didn't see her anywhere. He came upon a quiet little pond, and stopped his search there, feeling frustrated. He stood next to an old oak, looking out over the pond.

He didn't know how long he had been standing there quietly in that big tree's shadow when he heard something. Like someone was approaching. It was more like some energy change that he felt than steps because the one that was coming knew how to walk quietly without that the game would hear. They were the hunter's steps and suddenly Alexandra was standing at the pond no more than ten meters away from Samuel.

He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to scare her but on the other hand this might be the last chance for him. He had to do something, but it needed to be something that improved his situation, not make it worse. The situation would normally be quite awful; a man and woman, alone in the dark like that, unmarried. It would have been an enormous scandal. Of course it would have been a scandal this time too but they had some practice meeting in the darkness. So Samuel knew that she wouldn't say anything to anyone but he also didn't know if he could make his situation any better in her eyes.

When Samuel was thinking these things, of course, Alexandra also felt that she wasn't alone. She was the huntress, so she was used to feeling the presence of the other living creatures that were masters at hiding themselves. She stood there quietly. She wasn't afraid. She knew that, whatever was there, she was quite capable of defending herself. She didn't want to scare the other one way by starting to look around. She wanted to somehow sense where that other one was and make a quick turn so she could see it before it was gone. She also didn't want to be the one that would have been caught off guard. She liked it the other way around. This was a contest to her, again. Which one would catch the other?

She tried to smell around her. First there was nothing but then a little wind came from Samuel's direction and she caught it. The scent of the man in the night with the unshod horse she had. The scent when they were playing in the yard, or searching for a book from the library. The scent of the man that sat next to her at dinner. It was Mr. Alderton, and he was behind her and to the left somewhere.

She didn't know his exact spot, and she didn't want him to give him time to prepare so she suddenly just said without turning, "Why are you at the pond at a time like this, Mr. Alderton?"

That woke Samuel up from his thinking. How did she know he was there? Had he made some noise? She didn't turn and see who it was. Had she seen him earlier?

"I couldn't get any sleep," he said, a bit of uncertainty in his voice, cursing what and how he said that.

"What is keeping you awake, Mr?" she asked, without turning to the direction of the man's voice.

Samuel was quiet and didn't know what to say, so when the quietness had been already too long he just blurted, "You, my lady."

Then, finally, Alexandra turned towards Samuel and said, "What have I done to you, Mr. Alderton? Has it been too much for you, that you have lost to a girl too many times?"

Samuel knew that he could only be sincere. He didn't have anything better to say.

"That is the least of it, that keeps me awake. It is the opposite. I adore you because you can defeat a man in many things that normally just men do, and still be a perfect lady." Samuel said. To his thinking, now that it was said, it was up to her to react.

Alexandra felt that Samuel meant what he said, but she couldn't understand it. They were living in a quite masculine world with quite strict rules as to what women or men could do, and how men were superior to women in many ways.

They stood there looking to each other and thinking what next. Samuel slowly approached her but stopped at a decent two meters away from the lady. Her mother had taught him to be a gentleman in any situation, so he couldn't go closer, especially when he felt that he might not be able to handle himself so close to her.

The moment was odd for Alexandra. She hadn't had so sincere a comment from anyone, let alone one so much to her liking. That man had also been oddly pleasant company also before. She had learned to hate men during the years. It wasn't exactly their fault but it was benefiting her when she wanted to keep them distant.

She didn't hate Samuel; that was something that she had noticed quite early, so that wasn't making any odd feelings for her. The oddness came from the feeling that drew her to that man. To the man that was standing before her quite openly, and giving her the opportunity to make the decision whether to go away or stay.

She hadn't any words. She just stood there and investigated the man. So did Samuel look at her. Their looking changed like questioning, if the other one would take the one step closer would they then too?

Alexandra blinked, and she took that step. Sensing that move, Samuel also approached her. They were standing face to face having even bigger questions; what would happen next?

Samuel tilted his head a little to the right and Alexandra did the same thing. It was like an agreement for the next thing, their faces coming closer. The scent of her washed over him, like earlier, but it was even more strong in his nose.

They kissed, pressing their lips together. There wasn't much going on physically but mentally there going on was enormous. Samuel had kissed girls before, and been close to them in many ways, but this was something completely different.

Alexandra didn't have that experience with men before. This side of her had always been hidden and buried. She was very confused, but noticed that her body reacted when her mind still tried to stall. Her hands went around him and she drew him against her. Her hands were everywhere feeling that man's body.

Samuel moved to do the same. The kiss changed, becoming more and more passionate, and they held each other strongly. Bodies pressed together. They became more and more bold with each touch, their hands on necks and asses. Even breasts.

Samuel felt that he was hard, but he didn't mind it anymore and then he felt her hand on his hardness and it felt so good and so right.

From there he grew bolder, and started to act more on instinct. His hand went under her skirt, and an unspoken like agreement Alexandra lifted her leg and put it around Samuel, locking herself to him. Matching him instinct for instinct.

But that changed quickly when Samuel's hand reached her crotch! She pushed him away with such force that Samuel fell on his back, and she used that moment to run away quickly.

Samuel didn't try to reach for her like he should. He was very confused and embarrassed by what he had done. He had ruined her, touching her like that. Had anyone seen them, it would have sullied her reputation while threatening him not at all.

On the other hand it had felt better than anything in his life before!

There was also something else when he thought about the happening more. He had felt something in his hand. When he had run his hand along her leg up he had first sensed familiar moistness that he had felt with other women but then his hand had got in touch with something else. Something that was more familiar, like when he touched himself.

That made him more confused! How can a beautiful lady like her also have that, nestled within her so-alluring hips? That was a pure male part!

When rising and starting to walk towards the mansion he understood what that extra was; it was the same as his. He loved her just like she was, and he understood now why she had been kept away from men though her younger sisters were very active with them. They were trying to hide her rare secret. It would be a big scandal for her family if everyone knew, and the other sisters would have also ostracized by high society.

Alexandra was cursing herself because she had let herself go with her emotions and now he knew her secret! Damn her and damn Mr. Alderton! She went in carefully, like always, and headed directly into her rooms. She felt angry, disappointed but also aroused. She had never felt anything like that, never been so close to anyone, and never done anything sexual with someone. Knowing how it can be made her even more mad. She couldn't have it and it had also put him in a difficult position. She was still so turned on she wouldn't be able to sleep unless she masturbated, but she couldn't do it now when she was so angry with herself and her sexuality. She'd had to keep those things hidden all her life. She just started to think what now? What was he thinking and to whom would he tell?

Eventually she came to the conclusion that he would not tell anyone. It would leave a stain on him and his family, what had happened between them. This, somehow, still, annoyed her. Should she tell his father that he had kissed her and more? His father would force him to marry her. Thinking more, she came to a conclusion that she didn't want that. She didn't want a husband that couldn't touch her or even be in the same room with her. That was what she told herself, but under her pride what she wanted was to protect him because she liked him so much. He was, after all, such a gentleman that he wouldn't hurt her ever. Maybe she should keep herself away from him, so that he wouldn't think that he had some sort of duty to protect her.

During this incident the younger sisters were, again, all over each other. Arabella had told Julia to come to her chambers at night, and Julia was now so under her spell that she went when all the others had gone to sleep.

Arabella was waiting on her and had decided it was time to go a little further with Julia again. She had one piece under her blankets that she had found in London in a shop from one of the shadier parts of the city.

It was a wooden male part that had attached to a leather belt.

They started with kissing and Arabella then licked her breasts, and nibbles, and gave her pussy some licking. She again put her finger on Julia's anus and she felt that this time Julia was more relaxed with that. She didn't wait this time for Julia to orgasm, but went right ahead pressing her finger deeper and massaging her insides tenderly when licking her clit.

When she sensed that her anus started to relax she added a second finger. That was new to Julia and she moaned silently but took it. After a while Arabella was fucking her with her fingers and Julia was nearing an orgasm although she had stopped licking her and concentrated only fingering her anus.

When Arabella stopped, Julia looked up in surprised, and saw her putting on that belt.

"It is perfectly okay. Don't worry! You can keep your virginity when I put this into your bottom. No one will never know," Arabella said, and couldn't keep away the husky voice she had now. "This is our secret."

The dildo wasn't big but was bigger than two fingers. Oiled and polished. The head went in slowly and Arabella stopped there while Julia groaned and strained. Then she drew a little out and again a little in. When Julia was adapting this a little she started to press deeper and deeper until she was completely in and she gave extra push there giving her own clit a nice little pulse of pressure.

"You can always come to me, sweet Julia. I will not give you anything but the greatest pleasure. Be my little one that takes all I give. Would you be?" Arabella asked, when slowly fucking her, always giving herself that extra pressure when fully in.

"I will," Julia said, as a long moan came out of her.

Arabella started to fuck her faster and stronger and kissed her with passion. Julia came, but she kept going because she was also near. Julia started to push a little back, enough that it gave a little extra pressure to Arabella's clit and she started to coming too. She bit to Julia's breast when she came, marking her with little imprints.

When the morning came, Samuel's family left the big mansion. Alexandra was in her rooms pretending to be sick so Samuel didn't see her. He knew why she didn't show and cursed himself that he should have proceeded slower so that she would have started to trust him more before anything intimate happened.

Samuel participated in every single ball, for months, so that he could see Alexandra but there were only her sisters representing their family with their father. They always came to talk to him but he couldn't ask anything about their sister. The season was going to end soon and Samuel couldn't find a way to see her and talk to her.

Those balls were successful for Samuel's family, anyway. His older brother found himself a woman that he would marry. She was from Hampshire, the daughter of the Earl William Ashford and the Countess Mary Ashford. It was a great family and suited well for Samuel's brother. Fortunately Lady Georgina Ashford was also very pleasant company for Samuel. They had a strange connection. Not romantic at all, or even plainly platonic. She was more or less like an older sister to Samuel. During wedding preparations she spent time in the Alderton home, and they often talked a lot specifically when there weren't others around. She was very keen on Samuel's love life, wondering why he wasn't getting involved with anyone. She had seen that those beautiful daughters of the Duke very often approached him, but he was acting very platonic to them.

Samuel told her that they were very nice ladies but he couldn't think of a future with any of them. Samuel loved how natural and informally their conversations went.

"There is also the oldest one - Alexandra. Have you met her?" Georgina asked. "She would be the one for you I think. I think you could appreciate a woman who is very independent and doesn't like to be the center of everything."

Samuel's face went red, and he didn't know what to say. Georgina sensed this and with that odd connection she knew there was something that no one knew. She also knew that Samuel's family had been the Duke's guests recently, so Samuel would definitely have met her.

"What happened during your visit to the Duke's mansion? I think that, since then, Alexandra has stayed in the mansion and declined any ball since their own." She had already connected these things and was sure that Samuel had something to do with that, because he was kind of embarrassed.

Samuel kept his silence. He didn't know what he could say. He had to protect their families, and above all Alexandra herself.

"You can trust me. What ever happened you can tell me. I would like to help you and my good friend Alexandra." She said comforting Samuel to talk to her.

"Is Alexandra friend of yours?" Samuel asked.

"Now you found your tongue!" Georgina teased Samuel.

"Yes, we are friends from our childhood. She have been always a little different than the others but somehow we get along pretty well. Till this. Now she spends time just alone and don't see anyone." She carried on.

"I don't know which one it is. Me showing her my liking maybe too clearly or the fact that I found out something that she didn't like me to know. Either way I think she doesn't want to see me ever." Samuel finally could say.

"You said you found out her secret. What were you doing when that happened?" Georgina asked.

"You can tell me because I think that I might know that secret too but I have to be completely sure that we are talking about the same thing. She has a secret that I don't want to spread to people that don't already know it," she said, suddenly very seriously.

"We were in a place where we shouldn't be alone, at a time when we shouldn't be anywhere else other than sleeping in our own beds," Samuel said, leaving the details away.

"I didn't know that you do that kind of thing, and I am more surprised that she would. How on the earth did that even happen?" she asked.

"There were many things that led to this kind of a finale." Samuel said with a sad sound.

"You were intimate?"

"Yes..."

"Then you felt something?" She kept going.

"Yes," Samuel explained, "and before I had a chance to say anything she was gone."

Georgina wanted him to say it. "You felt her secret?"

"I felt it, but it didn't mean anything to me. Nothing bad. I think I am a monster because I even touched her and touched her there. The place that didn't belong to me to touch in any way. I think I ruined her and her life."

Georgina could see a tear in the corner of his eye.

"What you did was wrong, absolutely wrong, but I think you are a man that takes responsibility for his actions and you certainly didn't mean her any harm. You couldn't know about the secret but from many other reasons the things could also have gone very bad. If someone would have seen you," Georgina said.

"Yes, it would. I made a big mistake when I set out to find her," Samuel admitted.

"You would want to see her and talk to her and explain to her your feelings? Make all this better?" she asked seriously.

"I would do anything for that," he said plainly, and left Georgina.

The wedding day came and everything was amazing. Samuel was his brother's second and didn't have time and opportunity to concentrate any other than looking out to make sure that everything went well when it came to his brother's part in the wedding. So he didn't see all of the guests in the church.

But there was one guest that definitely saw him. The Duke's family had, of course, a good spot in the church, but Alexandra made sure that she sat behind some tall man so that she could not be seen easily. She was there because of her friend Georgina.

When the wedding ceremonies went less formal Samuel had his first opportunity to go out and be alone for a moment, but when he was going a servant came to him to say that the lady Georgina wanted to see him in the library.

For a moment Samuel was confused. Georgina was sitting at the main table, entertaining guests. When he looked in that direction, the lady to nodded him the way that he understood that she wanted him to go where the servant was asking.

So he went. The library was on the second floor, and in the other wing of the mansion, so there wasn't anyone else. The library seemed to be empty. He stayed there a moment, waiting, and then the door opened behind him. Someone snuck in and closed the door quickly. Samuel knew who it was. Alexandra.

She turned slowly to look at Samuel. She looked serious and sad.

"I am here only because Lady Georgina is my old friend and this is her wedding day. I didn't want to turn anything down that she would ask me this day. Even this," she said with a cold low voice. Almost a whisper.

Lady Georgina had arranged this. She had given him the opportunity he had wanted. He felt very warm feelings for his sister-in-law at that moment, but now he had maybe the biggest challenge of his life before him. What to say to Alexandra to make things go even a little better. Much worse they can not go, but this was maybe the one and only opportunity.

"Last time you were gone so quickly and I didn't have the opportunity to speak to you, lady Alexandra," Samuel started formally.

"Let's skip the formalities and say what you have to say for yourself," Alexandra continued, her cold tone. "I think we are beyond any of those good manners."

"I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am, what I did. I wasn't that gentleman that I should have been. I want also protect you by keeping your secret. I don't do it for myself or even for my or your family. I do it for you. I understand if you don't believe me but I have no bad intentions towards you. It is totally opposite what I have in my mind."

"You are not responsible for me anyhow, so you can feel free from any of those. Your reputation will stay clear what to comes to me." Alexandra didn't even look at Samuel.

"I don't think of that as a responsibility. I would think it as a privilege." Samuel said with a low and sad tone because he was starting to think that he was losing her forever.

"I don't think anyone would look at me the same way, ever again, when you know about me what you know," Alexandra said plainly.

Samuel felt a little angry in that point. He'd had a long day and was tired, and also he had some alcohol with his brother so he was a little bolder than usually when he said, "You wanted to leave any formalities behind us. Fine. I think you are right. What we did wasn't at all formal. It was a moment that we shared where we left all of the formalities behind us. We were just two people in a moment, once, in the way we liked. Without thinking of others and what they might think. I would do it again right here and right now. That Lady Dickerton you are walking with may join us if you like. I don't look at you differently. It just happens to be a part of you and I love any part you have. I may even bend over for it, through that window, if that is what is needed!"

Alexandra looked to Samuel after his very informal talk. What did she just heard? What he was saying? He called her big secret as a Lady Dickerton and was ready to take it where anyone could see! She was thinking and not knowing if to laugh or cry or run away. That was totally something different to what she could have ever imagined anyone to say to her.

Let alone him.

"Are you kidding with me?" she managed to blurt out.

"I am totally serious," Samuel said, more calmly, as he approached her.

She was thinking what now and was turning away when she saw him kneeling before her.

"Don't say it!" Alexandra said quickly, when she saw a ring in his hand.

"If you don't want it then say so but I want it and I want to say it to you. It is totally your decision what your answer is. I will leave you in peace if you say no," Samuel said seriously.

Before she could say anything Samuel continued, "Will you marry me, Lady Alexandra, and be my wife?"

She looked to his eyes a long time. That wasn't anything she had expected to happen here or in her life.

"Your wife might force you into many difficult situations, and make you keep your word in things that you have said but maybe not thought about. You would have to live with the Lady Dickerton... I mean my secret. It is a big burden," she said in a normal, calm voice. She wasn't convinced that Samuel understood everything he'd have to face in his life if he would be her husband and she wasn't that convinced either if she wanted to be the center of the attention that would come if she were to marry anyone.

Samuel smiled when he noticed Alexandra using the name he gave to her dick.

Alexandra couldn't either keep her face serious.

"Maybe a man like you won't manage in this world without a strong wife behind him," she suddenly said, and was a little bit surprised herself.

They started to laugh when they noticed the double meaning for that. The laugh came from the serious stress that had been on them, and now it seemed to be dealt with. The tensions broken.

"We don't announce anything about this here, and we separate now." Alexandra said, and calmed down.

"Did you accept or reject me?" Samuel managed to say because she actually hadn't answered to him.

"Why would we have to announce if I would have meant no?" She just turned away, and left Samuel kneeling there with the ring in his hand.

Okay, she wants to do this also in her way. Samuel thought and rose, putting the ring back in his pocket.

When the Duke and her daughters were leaving the wedding and standing next to their carriage, Samuel decided to act. He walked straight to the Duke and said, "Your grace! I am asking if I have your blessing to I ask your daughter Lady Alexandra to marry me?"

That was a very short and simple question in that situation, normally done in a quite formal manner but Samuel wanted to do it then and there. The weddings had ended so they would not affect that. So he just acted and wanted the confirmation that he would be able to marry her.

The Duke looked at Samuel like he was wondering what he had just heard. Then he looked to Alexandra. She just nodded.

"I am very surprised at this but, you seem to have talked with Lady Alexandra about this already, Mr. Alderton. She has always had her own mind about things and I know that you have to be a very special man if she is willing to consider this. Have you, in your knowledge, everything that will be involved in your marriage, Mr. Alderton?" the Duke asked firmly.

"Yes, your grace I have," Samuel answered shortly.

"Then I give my blessing to this marriage but remember that she is my oldest daughter. Maybe you will be asked a lot more than you think some day," the Duke said, and Samuel bowed to him.

A week after, Samuel's family got a simple letter, about Samuel's and Alexandra's small wedding in the Duke's mansion. Alexandra had wanted it that way and Samuel hadn't nothing against that. Of course Samuel's mother was very willing to have a big wedding when her son married the Duke's daughter.

The next time Samuel saw his future wife, it was in the wedding ceremony. She wore a simple dress and was prettier than ever in Samuel's eyes. When she took Samuel's hand he felt very good because he knew that after this he was able to keep her hand and she wasn't running anywhere.

On their wedding night they went to Alexandra's rooms. They started to kiss and tear clothes off each other. There was passion that had waited long to be able to release.

Soon they were completely naked and Samuel stopped to look at her beauty. She hid certain parts between her strong legs but Samuel directed his hand there and slowly brought it forward. He thought that it was very beautiful, and even quite a feminine penis. The femininity didn't mean that it was small. Quite a contrary. It was big, and hardening in his palm, but it was smooth and the skin looked and felt very soft when he kept it in his hand and kissed his wife.

Samuel felt tears on his face that weren't his. They didn't stop kissing and soon her hand was on both of the penises and she rubbed them against each other with her slender yet strong hands. Their erections were so hard that the explosion was quickly near. Alexandra took her hand off and started to guide Samuel's penis towards her pussy drawing at the same time him to the bed.

"I was thinking that the ladies should go first?" Samuel said to her softly and she stopped her move.

"Don't start kidding right now," she said huskily.

"I am completely serious, my loved wife." Samuel smiled at her.

She looked firmly at him but didn't stop him when he moved away from on top of her onto the bed.

She rolled and took something from her drawer.

It was an oil bottle that she opened and oiled her penis, looking directly into Samuel's eyes. His pulse was near 200 for the excitement, but he was also a little afraid. Would it hurt? Would she enjoy it? What if she wouldn't take him another time because he was bad?

She took a pillow and stuffed it under Samuel's back and moved between his legs. She guided her rod with her hand against Samuel's rosebud and kept it there for a while. Then she looked deep into Samuel's eyes and started to press slowly but firmly. It hurt but Samuel didn't want to show it because she would have stopped.

The head of the penis slid slowly in and when it completely passed his sphincter it suddenly went faster all the way in! Her pelvis was against his.

They both let out a moan and she stayed there for a moment. After that she drew her penis out slowly and then in again just as slowly, still looking directly Samuel eyes.

Samuel saw lust in her eyes and a warm feeling surrounded him. All worries were gone and there was just the lust left when she started to move faster and fucked using her strong feminine body.

Samuel had thought that it would be just her that could enjoy this but quickly he was understanding that actually she was giving him great pleasure too. She fucked and kissed him until they were sweaty and hot from the action.

Then she closed her beautiful eyes but forced them back open just moments later. She looked at him with a great lust and released inside him, pumping long and hard, filling him with her juices.

After that they just laid there, both thinking about what just happened. Then Alexandra took Samuel's stiff cock in her hand and started to guide it towards her pussy. It was slick and wet and the grip was strong when Samuel entered her. He fucked slowly, trying to make it last long but that plan didn't work. It felt too good too soon. He couldn't slow himself, he accelerated, and did come into her.

For the honeymoon Alexandra wanted to travel to Scotland, where she had a dear friend who lived in Dunbraith Castle, near Glasgow. She was Her Grace, Lady Catriona MacRae, Duchess of Dunbraith. Her husband, the late Duke of Braemara, fell at Salamanca in 1812 when leading Hussars. It had been a great victory for Wellington's army, where the Duke had been a high ranking officer. One of the costs of this great success had been that not everyone came back to their homes and families. Lady Catriona was just such a young widow, whom Alexandra hadn't seen since this unfortunate happening. She wanted to spend time near her and this was an opportunity to do so and get away from the hustle of Southern England.

When they announced their plans for the honeymoon, Arabella had an idea that she and Julia could come with them to see Scotland if it would be all right for the honeymoon couple and of course for Lady Catriona. Alexandra didn't see any obstacles to that and Lady Catriona was also willing to have them as her guests so they traveled to the north.

Dunbraith Castle stood high on the edge of the moor and had big stone walls with high windows looking south to Loch Lomond, a great lake north from Glasgow. The honeymoon couple had a complete wing for their use because Catriona wanted to give them privacy; it was their honeymoon, after all. Julia and Arabella took rooms in the same wing as Catriona's own chambers.

Samuel soon noticed that Catriona had that same spirit as Alexandra. She didn't mind being alone but she also liked to be among a small group of people that she liked. She didn't like very many people; fortunately, she liked this quartet. They had a nice and simple way of being together, but they also spent a lot of time on their own and that was also perfectly okay for all of them.

For Arabella that suited her very well. Her goal, after all, had been to have a lot of time with Julia. Their experiments continued in their rooms, which were side by side and had a door between them. Arabella wasn't in a hurry this time with Julia; she just kept her close and kissed her a lot.

"Could you teach me to do that thing that you did to me, when we were visiting your home?" Julia asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Arabella was smirking at her. "I think I did quite a lot of things to you when I got you in my bed."

"The kissing. The kissing of my other lips." Julia said, and couldn't look directly at Arabella.

Arabella tried not to show her enthusiasm. "Of course I can! I can be your training partner any time you want! But you can't go there directly. I had to teach you first what to do so that your partner is ready to have you touch her there." Arabella continued, and noticed how she was already wet and ready to take Julia, but she wanted to teach the whole process.

Julia nodded to her and Arabella guided Julia's hands to her nape and kissed her. Julia started to caress Arabella's nape and kissed back. Arabella guided her to kiss and lick her neck and move her hands from the nape to the breasts.

Julia had a very tender touch, and it felt great to have her touching and kissing. Arabella could count on that that she wouldn't touch her sensitive areas with too much force, and she could just relax and enjoy, and every now and then guide her a little, but she was a very quick learner. Her nipples were erect and she guided Julia to lick and suck them. Simultaneously she guided Julia's hands towards her hips. Julia caressed her buttocks and thighs and made Arabella moan when she was also sucking her very sensitive nipples that were in full erection.

The summer was warm even in the North so they had left their balcony door open. At the same time, Catriona had come to her balcony to enjoy the nice day and she heard something. At first, she didn't know what it was but she started to listen more carefully and heard it again. It was certain to her that it was a sexual moaning, and it came from the one of the rooms the girls were using.

During that time it would have been a great scandal to her house what was going on there. Normally, the visitors would have to leave because of that kind of behavior. Catriona wasn't like other people. She hadn't been like that ever. That was why Alexandra and her were such good friends. Her husband's death had made her even more certain that people should live more in the moment than always putting things off for the future.

She just took a sip from her wine glass and continued listening. First, she was just thinking that it was nice that the girls she liked had found each other, and that she could give them a safe place to be together. She knew her staff and they wouldn't gossip outside the castle.

When Arabella guided Julia from her breasts to her stomach, and then finally between her legs where Julia licked and kissed between the thighs of Arabella, the moaning started to turn Catriona on. She had looked at women in a sexual way before but hadn't ever done anything about it. She had married her man at a young age and had a perfect sex-life with him. Now her mourning period was over and she had again started to have sexual interests.

Julia started to lick Arabella's pussylips, slowly and tenderly, and tasted her nectar. It tasted good for her. She dived deeper into her pussy but didn't put her tongue too deep. Arabella couldn't contain herself without taking a grip of Julia's head and pressing her face against her labia. When Julia found her clit it was a matter of a very short period before Arabella came loudly against Julia's face.

All those passionate noises moved Catriona, inside her chambers, and she started to touch herself for the first time since her husband had died. She came quickly, biting her pillow to prevent making the same kind of noise as the girls had made.

Soon it was dinner time and Catriona was looking at the girls with new eyes when they were sitting side-by-side at the table. Julia was a little surprised that Catriona was giving them more attention than before. She had been mostly speaking with Alexandra when they had been together but now Catriona was asking all kinds of things from them like she was very keen on learning what kind of ladies they were.

On the other hand it was good that she was more keen on the girls. Samuel and Alexandra had again gone on some kind of after competition "argument" and they were mostly concentrated on each other.

What had happened in Alexandra's and Samuel's chambers, before dinner, was that they started like usual, kissing and touching each other. Things had progressed until Samuel had started to suck Alexandra, who liked it but prefer to come by fucking. When she had been near cumming she would have stopped Samuel, but instead she had turned herself quickly to 69 and started to suck Samuel so that he would cum first, sticking also her finger inside Samuel's anus to reach his prostate. That had started a moment where two of them tried to concentrate on making the other cum and not to notice the other's manipulations.

Of course that didn't go very well. Soon they both noticed that they had passed the point from where there is no turning back. Then it was just survival and trying not to cum before another. They both came and on there was no agreement on which one was the first. Of course they couldn't speak it outright there, at the dinner table, so between them was just some staring with different kinds of faces.

Both sides missed a lot when concentrating just on each other. Catriona asked if the girls would like to go riding with her in the evening. There would be a nice mist over the moors and the lake. The girls agreed to leave with her and they were thinking how nice and simple it was there to just leave for riding without a lot of staff going with them.

Later when they were leaving, there were three saddled horses waiting for them. Two of them had women's saddles and one had a regular one, which was also a surprise for the girls. Catriona rode like Alexandra, using the same kind of a saddle as men.

When they saw her they were even more surprised. Where they had proper skirts for riding she had tight riding pants on that showed her strong thighs and behind. Her riding boots also touched firm calves. She noticed the girls' looks and was very welcoming of it.

They rode circling on the moorland. There was a lot of fresh air to breathe and they weren't talking much. On the side of the lake Catriona stopped her horse and jumped, like a panther, down from the saddle. The girls did the same and went to look at the lake. They were standing quite near each other and they would have liked to take a hold from the hands but they couldn't do that there when Catriona was with them.

Slowly Catriona walked silently behind them and put her hands on their shoulders. She didn't say anything at first and both girls were thinking what she is doing now? Is that just a friendly gesture but somehow it felt different to them? They tried to look at each other from the corners of their eyes.

"It is okay if you want to hold hands when just I am seeing." Catriona broke the silence. She had seen their hands moving but going back quickly.

They both blushed, their minds boiling. What did she know? Have they been too loud, or had Catriona seen something?

"You are safe with me and you are safe in my home. The surrounding world is not that safe for girls, especially girls that have the same interests as you." She carried on.

She knew what their relationship was like. There wasn't any doubt of that anymore. Julia was frozen to her position and Arabella, who had more courage, moved her hand slowly to Julia's hand and their leather gloved hands gripped tightly to each other. They were giving and having support from each other in this situation.

They were like that for some time, just looking at that misty lake. Then Catriona took her hands off their shoulders, followed by a quit pat to give them a little encouragement.

"I think they start to expect us back soon, ladies, so let's get back in the saddles again and remember; my door is always open to you. All my doors," Catriona said, and as she rode off she left the girls wondering what her last sentence had meant.

When they got back to the mansion it was already quite late. They went straight to their rooms. Of course, the girls were quickly in the same room again because they had to talk about the happenings at the lake.

"I think we have been too loud," Julia said to Arabella, with a worried sound.

"But it seems that she didn't mind," Arabella added.

"Yes, that was weird!"

"And what did she mean by 'doors will be open to us'?" Arabella said what they both had been thinking the most.

"She meant that she will give us a safe environment to be together... but did she also tell us that her bedroom door is also open?" Julia looked at Arabella worried.

"Would that be a bad thing?" Arabella smirk.

"You are thinking that you could go and do things with her?" Julia asked, very surprised.

"Why not? She is a bit older than us but have you looked at her closely? Like when we were riding? She is such a stunning lady. Don't you think so?" Arabella asked.

"She looks pretty and powerful at the same time. A bit like your older sister," Julia admitted.

Arabella stared at Julia. She hadn't thought about that ever. There were a lot of similarities in those women. She had just thought that that is why they were so good friends. They liked the same kind of things but they were also physically very similar.

They put their thinking aside and started to make love again. Now Julia noticed that their balcony's door was open again. She went quickly to close it because she was thinking that it had been the way from where Catriona could have heard them.

When on the balcony and closing the door she looked instinctively to the other balcony's direction and she saw her. Still in her riding gear on but now she had lost the jacket and had only a thin shirt on and she could almost see her breasts through that. She looked directly at Julia and smiled.

All Julia could manage was to say, "Good night m'lady." before she quickly closed the door.

Catriona smiled that the girl had practically run away.

"I could show you what a good night is, my little angel." Catriona said silently.

Arabella and Julia made love, but both of them were thinking about that mystery woman in the next room. After sex Arabella soothed Julia to sleep, but couldn't sleep herself. There were too many things to process in her mind. She heard sounds from the other room so there was someone awake too. She started to focus on those sounds. Someone was moving and then she heard like a door had been opened.

Again that open door thing that Catriona had said came to Arabella's mind. She had to rise and silently step to her room's door. She tried to open it as silently as possible. She peeked through a crack in the door. She couldn't see at first so she had to open the door more. Then she saw it. The door to Catriona's chambers was a little bit open. She had heard it right.

When staring at that door she saw a hand coming out from the crack of Catriona's door. It was beckoning her to come in. First, Arabella quickly pulled herself back into her room. She hadn't expected that to happen. Curiosity made her look again.

When putting her head again through the door crack she was startled by the vision she saw! Catriona was standing by her door gesturing her hand to Arabella! Her eyes met Arabella's with quiet encouragement. The look was gentle but strong. Arabella felt that she didn't mean any harm to her. She gave her a chance to make her decision whether to take hold of her hand or close the door. The feeling that Arabella had from her gesture was that either way she did Catriona would accept it without becoming mad.

That strong older woman had a powerful effect on her and Arabella gave her hand to Catriona. She took it, gently but firmly, guiding Arabella out of the room to the dark corridor. When she was out she felt an older woman's other hand on her waist. She led her with a light touch at her waist and hand, quietly guiding her into her chambers. Arabella heard a silent clicking sound when the door was closed behind them.

Then she felt both Catriona's hands on her shoulders. She was pressing herself against her back and she could feel Catriona's breathing near her ear. She was also feeling her big breasts against her back.

This was a new situation for Arabella. She had been with girls before but she had been that dominating part who had guided things in the direction she wanted. Now she felt that she was the one being guided and she didn't know what was coming. She noticed that it aroused her a lot. She leaked onto her tights.

Catriona was also aroused by this situation. A young beautiful woman in her chambers submitting to her will. That caused a new sensation for Arabella, who felt something pressing between her buttocks. First, she was startled by that but then she understood why this woman seemed to be so similar to her older sister. She was quite used to a woman with a cock, so it wasn't anything weird or bad for her. She had always been very close with her sister and her sister was very important to her.

Catriona's hands sled from the shoulders to Arabella's upper arms. Her touch was constantly gentle and firm. She held Arabella from behind, and pressed her hips more strongly against Arabella's butt.

Arabella could feel Catriona's bulge grow bigger and her breathing grow faster.

"You can always stop me, my sweet darling." Catriona's voice was just a husky whisper. "If you don't stop me I will take you, but don't worry about your virginity. It will last." She carried on lust in her silent voice.

Arabella was now in the same situation which she had put Julia in earlier, at her home. The difference was that she knew exactly what would happen. She was very turned on but also afraid. She trusted in that strong dominating woman, though, so she didn't stop her when Catriona guided standing next to her bed and bent her over the edge.

Then she felt cool air when the older woman lifted Arabella's night gown up. Catriona looked with excitement at Arabella 's pale buttocks, glistening pussy, and thighs. She hadn't been wrong. The girl liked what she was doing.

Arabella felt her hands on her buttocks, caressing and slowly moving to the center. Catriona nudged and guided Arabella's legs wider, and her other hands glided between Arabella's thighs and slowly moved up, close against her pussy. At the same time her other hand slid down from her back between her buttocks, passing her sensitive anus, and her hands met on her pussy where they fingered her pussylips. Then her finger moved to Arabella's clit and the other hand started to move back upwards. Arabella felt slick fingers on her perineum, and then on her anus, which made Arabella moan when her clit was manipulated at the same time.

Arabella quickly picked a pillow from the bed and bit it when another moan was going out. That happened when Catriona's other hand fingers were circulating Arabella's clit and other fingers did the same to her anus. She felt that she was very close to cumming.

Catriona noticed that too and moved her hands so that now they were sliding inside to her night gown and slowly onto her breast where those slick fingers quickly found Arabella's nipples. She massaged them firmly, and enjoyed knowing that Arabella liked it when her nipples were touched a little roughly.

Then Arabella felt Catriona's breathing near her pussy. The position changes were happening so fast, she could barely keep up. Her tongue tasted first the juices that had streamed to Arabella's inner thighs. And then her pussy she licked and sucked with her tongue and lips. Arabella was again very close to cumming but Catriona had other plans. Her tongue glided upwards and Arabella knew where it was going. Soon she felt that on her anus. No one had ever licked her ass. It felt odd at first, but then it started to feel very good.

Catriona simultaneously sled her fingers between Arabella's pussylips like making them as wet as possible. Then her mouth came off the anus and the fingers came to its place. Slowly circulating and lightly pressing, she made Arabella's anus open to a finger that was lubricated with her own juices. One finger went in quite easily because she had used her wooden dildo there before.

At the same time Catriona moved closer to Arabella and guided her penis between those very wet pussylips, lubricating her tool, and then moved to Arabella's anus when the finger came out. Arabella tried to relax but she knew that something bigger was going in than she was used to. She didn't know how big it was because she hadn't actually seen it but it had felt big between her thighs.

Slowly Catriona pressed her cock against the anus and then released the pressure and then again pressed a little firmer and then again released. She did that for a while until the pressure had increased so much that Arabella's anus started to give up and opened some. Then she stopped there and gave Arabella a little time to adapt to that feeling. Then she took the pressure again off and suddenly pressed more firmly, not stopping, so that her cock's head popped inside of Arabella. Then she stopped again but didn't reverse when continuing deeper into her.

Arabella felt that Catriona was huge. Her anus felt stretched and that the penis was going into her stomach, but it didn't hurt. She just felt full. Catriona had been firm but gentle and knew how to use her tool. Soon she was fucking her. One hand was on her nipple and other on her clit, and Arabella came hard then and there, biting the pillow and pumping Catriona's dick with her anus.

That made Catriona wild. She started to fuck with more intensity, filling the air around them with smacking sounds start when her pelvis slapped against Arabella's buttocks. Catriona could go for a while without orgasming, so Arabella was able to have another one before Catriona emptied herself into her ass.

After sex, Arabella had difficulties standing, at first, but found her balance with help of Catriona. The older woman hugged her, and asked if she was all right?`

She guided her back to her own room, and onto her bed where Julia was still sleeping. When Arabella was laying next to her Catriona gave her a tender kiss and put the blanket on her. She whispered, "You can send her too if she is willing. At some point you are welcome to come together but first I want to be with just the two of us." Then she left.

Julia adjusted, rolling over while in her dreams, and put her arm around Arabella. Arabella was feeling that life was so good at that moment.

In the morning Julia woke up but Arabella seemed to still be in a deep sleep. Arabella was laying there, eyes closed, looking very relaxed. One thing that Julia liked very much was her scent. She often just smelled her and enjoyed it. She did that trying not to wake her, but now something was different. She smelled Arabella's unmistakable scent, but there was also another scent that confused her. It was different than she had sensed ever before when being near Arabella. She couldn't quite picture what it was, but it was like having another person's scent mixed with her own.

She started to investigate that thing more. She smelled from under the blankets and caught a strong scent of sex, different from how they smelled after they'd had sex. What did she do during the night?

Julia rose, went to her own room and took her night gown off, and dressed for breakfast. She met Alexandra and Samuel there, and soon, also, Catriona came to the table. Catriona, who was usually very restrained, was in a very good mood and smiled a lot to herself. Others were looking at her and then others with a questioning look. Where did that sudden cheer come from?

Julia was thinking at first how nice that Catriona was so relaxed and in such a good mood, after what she had gone through. That sudden change allowed her very much rest. Her brains worked when the others were small talking. There had been two odd things at the same morning, and that riding trip had also had odd moments at that lake. Julia put those things together and looked at Catriona. Maybe her expression was the thing, or she just stared at her too long, because suddenly Catriona went silent and even blushed a little bit, which was also such a totally new thing from such a confident woman as Lady Catriona.

When Julia looked at Catriona, she had understood that she knew. She didn't know if Arabella had told her or just figured that out herself. Arabella wasn't there, so she must still be sleeping.

Quite sharp girl, Catriona was thinking and smiled at Julia, Her cheeks were hot.

That look and smile in return made Julia also blush. Now she knew that Catriona was behind all this, and Catriona also knew that Julia knew something had happened last night.

The end of the breakfast went more silently and Catriona was looking at Julia from time to time. Julia was trying not to look back, but now and then their eyes connected. Julia didn't know what to think.

When they were leaving the table Arabella came down from her room, and she seemed to be in a very good mood too. There were expressions on Julia's and Catriona's faces that told to Arabella that Julia knew and Catriona knew that she knew. Arabella looked back at both of them with such an odd face that Alexandra asked if that was her hungry face and that she should maybe come to eat earlier if her hunger looked like that.

Arabella took that as a joke between sisters. The moment went off but when the girls were back in their rooms Julia went straight to Arabella's side with a questioning expression.

"Sorry, I didn't think this through earlier. Did I make you jealous? Please forgive me if I did," Arabella said sincerely.

"I am not jealous. I am just confused. What has happened?" Julia asked.

"I think you already know. We had a moment with Catriona last night," Arabella shared.

Julia wanted to ask so many things. "How it happened and where and what?"

"I couldn't sleep and I heard some noise from Catriona's chambers, from her door. I went to look and there she was. Waiting for me or you or us. I don't know. She guided me to her room. Everything was like a dream but she let me decide if everything was ok," Arabella told.

"How was she? What did she do to you? I smelled her scent on you in the morning, and you smelled... mmm... like sex but differently than we do after we've had sex."

"She is different. You know Alexandra is different also?" Arabella asked.

"My brother told that to me once. Catriona is the same?"

"Yes, she is and we had sex. Great sex in a way I haven't ever before had it." Arabella said, a little embarrassed.

"It is okay. Don't feel bad if it was great. You want it more?" Julia comforted her.

"Yes, and she'd like to see you also. Alone, at least the first time." Arabella said, looking into Julia's eyes.

Julia collapsed to the bed.

"What does she want from me? Did she do the same to you that you have done to me with that wooden thing?" Julia asked nervously.

"Yes, but she is bigger and is better at using it than me." Arabella started smiling.

"She didn't take your virginity?" Julia was curious.

"Some kind of virginity, maybe but not that one." Arabella smirks. "The same one I took from you."

Samuel's and Alexandra's castle wing had a different kind of mood. Alexandra had odd feelings in her lower stomach. She hadn't eaten that much either at breakfast because she had felt a little sick. Now she was feeling better but it made her think what it was because this wasn't the first time she'd seen something like this. She had some memories from her childhood, when her mother had the same kind of a feeling. Those feelings eventually turned into younger sisters.

Could I be pregnant? she was thinking. Is that even possible?

She had been menstruating quite regularly but the doctor had said to her that she wouldn't probably have any children.

Samuel noticed her mood and asked what it was but Alexandra didn't want to say anything at least yet. She wanted to be absolutely sure.

Then Samuel approached her in a way she knew that he wanted to have sex. She was a little confused about her female parts at that moment so she didn't want to take anything in her pussy.

"If you want sex now you better bend over because it is the only way, at the moment, that you will have it!" Alexandra said, quite strictly.

That mood was a little odd to Samuel who wanted to make the situation a little lighter.

He thought for a moment. "That is fine to me. I'll bend over here at the window, maybe? There are only a couple of gardeners outside looking." Samuel went to the window, leaned through, and stuck his butt out at Alexandra, pants pushed down to mid-thigh.

"You seem to need some direction from your wife!" Alexandra came to him and smacked with her bare hand. "On the bed, and those pants off quickly!" Alexandra said, like some dominatrix.

Samuel laughed and did what was told. He liked this side of her, and the odd situation was forgotten.

When he was taking his pants off, she was oiling her penis that was in a full erection already. Then she came behind Samuel and pressed herself in with a one slow movement. That sudden fullness was quite a lot for Samuel. He had adapted to her penis quite well, but that kind of a quick thrust was something else.

She took hold of his penis and started to fuck. Samuel came like this quite quickly, but she didn't mind Samuel's orgasm. She just kept masturbating his cock and fucking his ass. Samuel was very sensitive to any touch after orgasm, but his wife wanted to do it this way, like time. Soon it was again feeling great but started off like a bit of torture. He cummed a second time and she just carried on. Fortunately she didn't have a hold on his penis anymore now that it was super sensitive, but his ass had to take quite a lot. Alexandra was like a locomotive when she took her orgasm from his ass filling it in the end with her juices.

That had been a very different sex, they were both thinking, when they were laying on that bed.

Soon, the honeymoon was over. They were leaving to the south. Alexandra had her final announcement before they would leave. She had already told Samuel last night. She had visited a doctor in Glasgow, and she was pregnant. That brought mixed feelings to the couple. The child might be the next Duke. His parents couldn't hide in the shadows. But they were happy. If it went like that, it went like that.

Julia also had an announcement. Catriona had asked if she would like to stay a little longer in the north, and she had accepted the invitation. She was already standing by Catriona's side, nestled under her arm, when she was saying it.

Samuel and Alexandra were surprised by this but it was alright for them. Arabella laughed inwards. She'd known what would happen. She didn't want to be in a way. She had noticed that between her and Catriona was a passion for sex but, between Julia and Catriona was also something else. Catriona held her so tenderly.
