In country residences other than those with which we are engaging ourselves, the arrival of a governess as a social guest would possibly have been considered beyond the pale Edwina, however, was constantly alert for the presence of toothsome females, and thus she received Miss Martin quite as if she were an equal.
As also, of course, did the Colonel who perceived her immediately to be a fine figure of a woman, her noble breasts taking his eye immediately, as did the rondeurs of her thighs and the impressive thrusting of her bottom.
Having been 'weighed up” frequently by males, Miss Martin took this in good part and gave him as full a view of her possessions as she could by turning this way and that while she conversed with her hosts whom she in turn judged quickly enough by virtue of what is called the pecking order. In a matter of an hour she had placed Jonathan accurately enough as having been dutifully up his mother-in-law's skirts as he had his wife's. Caroline she saw as being sparky, mischievous and therefore easily led, this being also the category into which Bella was fast descending.
Another couple were also present on this occasion and, upon being introduced to them, Miss Martin learned that the female of the species was Annette, the stepdaughter of the Colonel, while her attendant male, Sidney, was her fiance. No hovering Mama of the young lady being present, Miss Martin soon enough elicited that the Colonel and his wife were separated and seemed likely to remain so, which intelligence pleased her for it promised fewer complications in such plans as already formed themselves vaguely in her mind.
Miss Martin's determination not to remain homeless for longer than was needful was uppermost in all her thoughts and, with some well-contrived show of shyness she admitted to the fact that she was leaving her 'dear Bella and dear Ethel.'
'What shall you do?' the Colonel asked her. Having drawn Miss Martin aside at a wink and a nod from Edwina, he led the Way into the garden, leaving the others behind them.
'I shall suit myself to those who suit me. One must choose carefully in this world. There are rogues and vagabonds about', Miss Martin said theatrically and in a manner that momentarily caused the Colonel's heart to sink, for he took her to intend matters of common morals thereby.
'Indeed that is so, Miss Martin, and-if I dare press upon the point-some exceedingly dull ones also', he ventured probingly.
'Dullness, yes! Is that not the greatest of sins? As kind as Easton and Letitia have been'-said she, using their Christian names in an over-familiar way that was intended to impress him-'I have sat often enough in my lonely room-though that could not be helped. How foolish, how romantic of me to wish for adventure'.
'By no means, by no means, dear lady. To the contrary, a little adventure is the salt of life. Edwina, being my dearest friend, we have ventured upon several, though some might say… '
The Colonel paused and sighed, and this in a manner that caused his companion to smile inwardly since he was clearly bidding her to ask how his words were to have ended.
'Yes? What were you going to say? Oh, but you must think me very forward to ask', murmured she, fluttering her eyelashes and so drawing back her shoulders that her titties were made even more prominent. That she was younger than Edwina was a point in her favour that Miss Martin had not failed to grasp.
Those who emerge from occasional solitude are ever and rightfully curious. Had we known each other longer, and were I to venture to speak, then even so you might be exceedingly shocked, Miss Martin'.
At those words, she broke away from him and stepped forward as if confused by his admission. Concerned that he was forwarding matters too quickly, the Colonel made to approach her once more when Miss Martin turned and subsided languorously against the wall of the summerhouse, her face lowered.
'My dear, I have offended you', the Colonel muttered having thrown a quick glance all around to make sure they were not observed.
'No, no-I have been shocked before', came her whisper.
'Ah, then I fear it was something very naughty-very naughty, eh?' asked he playfully.
'Oh, desperately so', Miss Martin fluttered, 'I was but young, untutored, had no one to run to for advice as to that which was done to me. So frequently were the sheets of my bed ruffled in the lists of desire. Oh, but I am letting my tongue run away with me. How shocked you would be if Caroline or Annette were to utter such words!'
'She is very cold', responded the Colonel mournfully, though the course of the conversation was yielding higher hopes than he had anticipated.
'Caroline, you mean?' came a subdued whisper while Miss Martin continued to gaze down modestly.
'No, my dear, Annette', said the Colonel, thereby revealing at one and the same time two mites of information that he had not really intended to yield.
'My dear Colonel, would you-could you-possibly forgive the temerity of my remark if I say that I, too, was thus, even through to my second or third trial?'
The Colonel pawed the ground with his right foot just as a horse might when ready to leap forward into action. '1 have long desired to hear a lady of good breeding say such. Miss Martin, and-I would dare to add-to say more, for how else can we add to our sum total of knowledge as to male and female behaviour? By no means think yourself immodest, for we are alone, and all that passes between us shall be in strict confidence. To your second or third, you say? I trust you were not roughly handled'.
Miss Martin threw her head back as if concealing thereby a blush, albeit that there was no tinge whatever in her cheeks.
'I was handled, but no-I cannot say roughly, less the birch or tawse be deemed rough instruments. Rather would I say that I was urged, and that amid my early tears and cries, I succumbed, I yielded. I received that which is sometimes referred to as the cooling draught, and by such a route as left me virgin to the world. Oh, what am I saying to speak thus?' she cried, turning her back upon him and covering her face.
'You will cleanse your very soul by speaking thus, dear lady. Arrogant as no doubt the instrument was that effected its rude insertion in your parts, did it not-eventually, that is-bring you to pleasure? And were you cold before?'
'Yes! And yes, I was cold before. Warmly caressed as I was, I even so spurned he who wished to annoint me. And hence the birch and the strap. I was made to learn. Do you think that is wicked, Colonel?'
'To the contrary, my dear, I think it perfectly natural. Ah that one could by such persuasions overcome the shyness and rebellious behaviour of other young ladies and bring them to the pleasures they unknowingly seek'.
'Like Annette, you mean?' rejoined Miss Martin, giving a little sniff as though to indicate that she had shed a fretful tear or two. The Colonel's hands rested at that moment on her comely hips. A small forward step brought her rearing bottom closer to his loins.-'I felt attracted to her the moment I saw her and wished much to quell the imperious look in her eyes. I fear that her fiance…”
'Will not perform to best advantage, Miss Martin, no. How I concur with you! Would that she were in the arms of a wise and knowing-indeed, sensitive-woman such as yourself.
'You mean that I should speak to her?' came the reply. Miss Martin turned slowly and hesitantly at last and, in so doing, caused the top of her thigh to brush against the very protuberance that she expected to find him displaying.-'I find myself saying things I have never said before, and that I never meant to say', she added uncertainly, though her mind was ticking with a vengeance, as might well be supposed.
'Fate has brought you here! I shall have matters so ranged that her room is next to yours. Unclothe her, unclothe yourself. I believe she has a fine figure'.
'You have not seen her yet? How strange we are in our youths, as girls, for I too was such. I shall endeavour to brine her to a point of understanding, yes. One must not go in fear of the male instrument, however rudely it burrows'.
'Precisely, yes!'
'You have inveigled her, though? Attempted?'
'Several times', rejoined the Colonel hoarsely, feeling Miss Martin's resplendent thighs and bottom in the process though she was-as ever-careful not to provide him with any hint of response. Indeed, gliding away from between his masterly form and the wall, she but permitted him to hold her hand while they proceeded onwards.
'Persistence and persuasion are very necessary, Colonel. My interest is solely in her future happiness, you understand. If she needs to be spurred on, then thus it must be. I trust you will not flinch from the task? I will hold her, of course, should such prove necessary-provided I have your word that no other shall know of this, not even Edwina'.
'I say!' blurted the Colonel loyally, but at a sharp look from her, he immediately added with unaccustomed accession to a female, 'By jove, no-absolutely not. Keep it dark, eh what?'
'I would prefer it, Colonel. Were I to be thought of as a loose woman, what might be said of me? I understand, however, from your response, that you normally have no secrets from Edwina. If such be the case then I should not perhaps involve myself.
'But dammit, I wish you to! You have the advantage of greater youth than Edwina in this case. Annette is just upon her majority, yet is as cold as marble. I would not wish to have her continue so. She must be broken-in'.
'By us?' Having passed beyond a shrubbery and being doubly assured that they were well-screened from the house, Miss Martin swirled her skirts and sat beneath a majestic elm, leaning back against the bole while the Colonel eyed her quizzically and then lounged beside her, drawing open his coat whereby she might better view the line of his erection through his trousers.-'It is a fine one, from what I can see', said she with disarming frankness. 'If I am to assist you, then Annette must learn to appreciate it.
'What a strange one you are!' remarked the Colonel with a great strain of admiration in his tone. As he spoke, so he endeavoured to pass his hand up beneath Miss Martin's dress, but her own hand stayed his at the point where it reached one rounded knee.
'Afterwards, perhaps, dear Colonel. I wish to see how well you perform on her first. I am not one to delay the pleasures of others. I shall begin my coaxing of her tonight. By the morning you will know what has passed. It may then be necessary for us to take her to a more private place'.
“There may be difficulties therein so far as Edwina is concerned'.
'Not at all. There will be something you desire to fetch from your own house and will invite me to see it. I shall ask Annette to accompany me as chaperone. She will undoubtedly invite me to see her room and her wardrobe. Young women invariably do such. You will pretend to busy yourself about the grounds. Within half an hour, returning quietly, you will find that which you wish to see and may benefit therefrom. It is seemly that a young lady should first be pokered on her own bed, for each time she betakes herself to it she will better remember the sensations that she was brought to undergo there. Moreover, with myself as witness, her lips must be bound to remain sealed. Am I not a lady of propriety?'
'Does Bella know you as such?' rejoined the Colonel artfully, continuing to caress both her sleek knees.
'Does Caroline know you as such?' came the pert reply which, coming so unexpectedly, caused the Colonel to take a breath, thus allowing her to continue quickly, 'You must tell me all, my dear-all. If there is a map of love and desire already drawn in this abode, then I must know its routes, its alleyways, its arbours and its secret places'.
'One kiss, one moment of caressing your adorable cunny and naught shall be hid from you', declared he hoarsely, making to draw her legs downwards so that she might prove the more defenceless. The strength of her was such, however, that he succeeded not a whit and was repulsed with as cold a disdain as he had several times experienced with Annette.
'Quell your ardour, Colonel; save your forces for the morrow. Be certain, too, that you remove the key from Annette's door before she retires tonight. Such a small thing, yet it could prove both an encumbrance and an embarrassment if I am forced to tap on her door, alarming others. If you have already enjoyed Bella-as I begin to believe may be the case-then you have me to thank for that. Has it been so? She would have received your penis in her furrow without too much ado. Was it not thus? The equally licentious pleasures that I promise you shall obtain with your stepdaughter rest upon your frank confession'.
'And yours to me?' countered he eagerly. Taking her hand, he drew it upon the concealed but throbbing staff of his penis. Limply it remained, her fingers enclosing the tubular, hard shape delicately, neither moving nor unmoving.
'Tell me first-and then I, too, will speak', replied Miss Martin who was quite prepared to unfold the libertine activities of her girlhood but not those of the Sherwood household beyond what she had said about Bella.
'Rub it, you wondrous woman', croaked the Colonel, heaving his loins.
'Afterwards; perhaps afterwards. I may even give it a little suck if you are a good boy. Did you begin with Edwina?'
'Yes', came the Colonel's husky reply.
Dammit, he had never known such a smoothly commanding woman.
