“We’re also working on that problem.”
“I mentioned her to Phily, and she wasmost distressed.”
Devil take it!
“She asked me to give you this,” said Lady Millicent. “Though it won’t do for me to passbillet douxbetween you. I am most disapproving of infidelity. Most disapproving indeed!”
Edward was of half a mind to tell her to pass the word along to Phily on the rare occasion she wasn’t sucking her husband’s cock before callers or cuckolding him, but he feared ending up charged with murder if she expired of shock in his vicinity.
“Thank you, Lady Millicent,” said Edward with a bow. “I can assure you this will be the last missive the duchess sends me.”
***
The letter, of course, directed him to come to Chevaliermont House on a specific day and time — with no regard for his other engagements.
And he was making his way there now because Phily wrote she knew something most interesting about Edward’s urchin girl.
He was furious, half tempted to kick puddles now that his boots were resoled, but he didn’t want his tailoring to suffer. This weakness in his defenses meant Phily had him dancing attendance, and he knew she’d use her newfound power to keep him at her beck and call.
While opening the unlocked side door her message had indicated, Edward’s bile rose further. No cobwebs to be found inthis passage; the duchess really was enjoying life after the birth of all those sons!
Upon entering Phily’s boudoir, Edward was surprised to find her in the lap of another man. Her husband, the duke.
Fucking hell, Edward thought,now I’ve done it.
“Netherwallop,” said the duke, sending him a quick nod of the head. “Forgive me if I don’t rise to greet you; I’ve rather got my hands full.”
Did he ever: the duke’s hands were cradling his wife’s bounteous bosom, which was well developed after so many babies.
“I seem to have entered the wrong house, Your Grace,” said Edward, summoning the stupidest excuse for bursting into this domestic scene. In his defense, there was a roaring steam engine currently lodged in his head.
“You don’t want to know what I discovered about your girl?” asked Phily, speaking at last.
“Young woman,” he muttered.
“She’s being very naughty. You’re going to want to hear this.”
Edward groaned internally. If it were information about anyone else in the world, he’d be racing back down that well-used passageway while screaming. But for Tabby? He’d do it. Andhe’d have to trust that Phily had something of enough value to end his suffering and bring Tabby home. He didn’t want to think of the odds, merely recognized that he’d pay any price. Like his former fiancée, Edward was about to play deep.
“Yes, I see that we’re thinking the same thoughts,” said Phily, her voice low. “Why don’t you remove your clothing? I need something from you to clear my mind so I can recall all the details.”
For his part, the duke nuzzled his wife’s ear as she squirmed in his lap. Her machinations, her blackmail, or her offer of quid pro quo did not bother the duke, demmed debauchee.
And Edward found he didn’t feel too disgusted with himself for accepting this bargain, particularly when he finally removed his smalls and noticed his cock was solid and hot.
“You always were a well-favored gentleman,” she said, surveying his naked body while she and her husband remained clothed.
The duke released one of Phily’s breasts and used his soft, aristocratic hand to gather her hems.
“My wife has a plan for this evening,” said the duke, revealing her thighs. “But she’ll require a good deal of preparation for it to work. She’ll need to be very wet.”
Edward’s cock jerked when Phily’s cunt came into view. How much wetter could it get? She glistened in the light of the candelabras placed about the room.
“You should ensure she is slick,” said the duke, helping Phily open her legs wider.
Edward felt his eyelids grow heavy and his knees go weak. The duke and duchess wanted his submission before he could learn something of Tabby’s whereabouts? He’d crawl across glass to know what they’d discovered.
Fortunately, he simply had to crawl across the carpeted floor to reach his former fiancée’s cunny.
