Excerpt:
“Any bed that has you in it, my girl, must be a more
desirable one than without.” So saying, he sat down and drew me towards him,
lips parted. His mouth moulded
mine. I liked that kiss, though a detached part of my mind could still note how
he had been at the tooth powder again. He was a vain man, I knew, and besides,
he made a habit of drawing in unwary witnesses with his flashing smile.
After more kisses, and much fondling and stroking through my
nightdress, his hand slipped under it to fondle one breast, the fingers teasing
the nipple.
After yet more kisses, each one deeper and more passionate,
he broke off fondling me to draw my nightdress down to my hips, gazing
delighted on my body and marvelling at my breasts. Being so newly grown, they
were round, and stood up as
proudly as was a certain part of him that I was soon to discover.
“Such pretty ones: you have the body of one of those statues
of Venus, come to life and warm.”
“I am quite shy of seeing yours, Sir, this being my first
time.”
He smiled. “Then we’ll introduce you to it slowly.” He
slipped the dressing gown off his shoulders.
I had guessed him to be well made, and so he was, with the
muscular lean build and the chest raised above a hollow waist and hard belly of
an athlete. Seeing him undressed, I was pleased to note his proportions were as
fine as I had guessed.
He drew me to him to kiss again. I ran a shy hand down over
that chest, and over his belly. There I paused. Hussy though I might be, I was
yet too shy to explore further.
BLURB:
Sarah-Ann Jennings is quite happy to
satisfy her master’s lust. Forced into domestic service by a penny pinching
aunt, she is determined to make enough money to secure her own future and that
of her eccentric younger brother. She rather enjoys him, besides.
There is, of course, no question of any emotional entanglement between them. Mr. Alfred Grand is a cold-hearted fortune hunter in search of a wealthy wife, after all.
For all that, when Sarah-Ann comes to
suspect that somebody may be trying to poison him for reasons of their own, she
is ready to put all her energy and determination into finding out who it is.
This steamy romance set in the mid-Victorian UK is definitely for over
eighteens.
