Story Notes:
Well this is a love child (the series in entirety) as well as the newness of trying my hand as a story of the erotic persuasion. I wanted to begin with Snow White (which is underway) but when the concept of this came up in my twisted mind, the flood gates were opened and I found myself clacking away at the keyboard, it was simply perfect. I'm alittle daunted (I admit) by this because it's out of the comfort zone but I must see it through or I might go crazy!

Although I can lay claim to my characters (with a tasteful blend with the classics), it's of course heavily influenced by Carroll and and the 1950's film especially. Also, it shares elements with the 2010 Wonderland so it's all around a grab from here and there while being true to my vision. But all in all this is NOT you childhood Wonderland!

Chapter I

All Good Things

(Must Come to an End)


From the moment Lord Mather darkened her father’s doorstep- the man, with high hat in hand- he sought beseechingly for a glimpse of her oval face as he glanced past her father’s shoulder. Chessa, the maid and her trusted comrade of four or so years shifted her glassy eyes upon the now lax frame of one Alice Darhling.

The girl who had moments ago light-heartedly chased the skirt tails of the slightly older woman- with a whimsical look upon her dark skin washed by a ruddy flush creeping up her neck and tasting her cheeks- now seemed to have fallen from a precipice right before the woman. Chessa clucked her tongue lightly- for Alice’s benefit and ears only- and clutched the girl’s fingertips between their multilayered skirts. Her glassy eyes tried to convey some conviction for the poor girl.

The man, who’d now regularly come to call upon the lord of the manor- gossip flying about saying he frequented the estate perhaps at least thrice a week, looked much of a besotted man.

His deep blue eyes lingered upon Alice, taking in the eggshell blue and white silk dress, the immensely wide pagoda sleeves with lace trim at the wrist- what much to his distress- concealed much of that beauteous skin. He’d oftentimes imagined what it would be akin to lay his upon that skin, the flesh supple and vibrant with the cusp of youth. His Alice, yes his. That sounded astutely satisfying.

Alice, failing to regain composure and the distress marring her generous mouth, looked pleadingly at the hind of her father- wishing he would send the man off. He was not wanted here- surely not by her!

-&&-


The evening meal commenced.

Previously, her father had spirited the man away- his hands almost too enthusiastically clasping about the younger man’s far taller shoulders, pulling him into an embrace. They were in his study for hours. Topics they were discussing were lost upon her, further imbuing the fear causing her flat stomach to quake. The feeling that resounded there was something she could only equate to – betrayal. At her father, at this home empty of maternal shelter.

But now they were all sitting like the ladies and lords that venerated society had bred them as, well gilded, groomed façades but nonetheless shit filled. She tipped her bowl forward, the silver pealing against the crockery as she spooned her soup.

Lord Mather- Arthur, as he had almost mortifyingly pleaded to be called, made Alice cringe at the familiarity. At how close it seemed to bring him to her body as his name left her mouth. Her breasts heaved slightly, a tight sob beginning to form from the depths of her soul at her increasing dilemma.

Laughter surfed over her as she looked at each red face odiously. At her father, who’d during the course of the conversation had unbuttoned his wool waistcoat, his chest expanding as each man appeared to stroke the member of their exponentially large egos.

Arthur had made a joke of some sort.

Suspicion took to her like a vise as she stared from one man to the other; then finally coming to rest upon her step-mother, Anna Louise- whose pretty face glanced quickly over to her place at the table- almost knowingly. The smile which lit her face alerted Alice to this. Her chestnut curls framed her heart-shaped face exaggeratedly with her wide brown eyes alit with something akin to arrogance. Her creamy breasts jutted out tastelessly, her flesh full and lush from indulgence and the vast resources of her father’s pocket books.

“Alice,” her step-mother called. At once the entire table of four silenced, taking in her mum figure.

“Yes, ma’am.” Alice said, expelling each syllable as though it afforded her a great deal.

“I was just now commenting at how accomplished of a young lady you are becoming at the pianoforte. Please do tell Lord Mather,” she turned conspiratorially to the gentleman, “and singing as well.”

She cleared her throat, the soup suddenly thick upon her tongue, “Well I can scarcely call myself accomplished. I adhere to my practices and Mister Crosby has esteemed me to be one of his best pupils.” She would match the woman wits for wits, and would not be put on the spot as she took in the woman’s wicked expression. “As for singing, one can hardly lead per say, but I can carry a tune my lord.”

Arthur appeared as though it cut him deeply to have been referred to so distantly.

“Please,” he held his hand to his breast theatrically, which contained the meat of his life-sustaining organ. He continued on: “Arthur, I beg you. I feel as though we have grown to have such an intimate acquaintance that it is hardly necessary to refer to be with such severe formality.”

“My lord,” Alice pleaded at feeling the heat begin to rise to her face.

“It’s so formal and conventional that it begs for encroachment upon woe. Woe- that our friendship has escalated so little.” He then stated adamantly, “So please, Arthur.”

Arthur,” she repeated.

It came out low and foreign upon her tongue as though from disuse or perhaps a burden of forced complacent conformity. They were all so fond of the foppish man, and she felt as though she would be picked upon until she was hanging from his coattails as well.

His eyes gleamed effervescently, his mind and senses assaulted by her gentle loveliness: The soft swell of post-adolescent breasts. The soft skin- God, the layers of silk of it he begged doggedly to touch. To lave for countless hours. The floral toilette upon her skin floating over to him, goading his astral self upon the air until he hovered above her lamenting that cupid’s sure arrow had struck him hard.

He’d mourned of course, at his jostled state of bachelorhood- any man with a sound countenance would have, and at his surcease of plowing through London’s ton of young quim. And he’d been elbow deep in that fresh virginity. But at the exact moment of their fateful meeting, he had been had. Her soft flaxen curls framing that angelic face as she called his name, perhaps he hoped that soon it would be mid-coitus of him ribbed deep within that softness. He didn’t even mind the gossip of her gentility- that of her mother’s lineage of course.

Arthur’s cock twitched mercilessly at the concept of their lovemaking.

“Well,” his well greased lips smacked.

She recoiled at the sudden perverse nature they had spoken and formed themselves.

“You should surely enlighten me with your company- and your pianoforte of course. And I dine to hear you sing-” he held up a staying hand. “Nevertheless whatever breath may expel from your mouth Alice, I dare say is as enrapturing as the last as it must be in song.”

She blushed violently.

-&&-


Alice loathed admitting and submitting to her conscience, but the quiet stroll in the garden was- nice. Pleasant almost as he foddered and over indulged himself in light caresses at her arm caught in the bend of his. Her parent and step parent had so overtly given the young couple free exercise of each other, the impropriety.

She pretended to lose her thought upon a bush nearby, boasting pearlescent pink roses. Her fingertips lingered upon its creamy membrane half wishing the obstacle at the other end of her would disappear. He clung to her every word and at present he was lavishing her with praise of her gentle breeding and what a magnificent example of modern pragmatism was that it afforded the escalation of young women.

He had been speaking for some time now, even switching his topic. “…a testament to intellect. That you are.”

He fancied that he looked rather exquisite in a short double-breasted, ribbed cloth frock coat of dark navy, grosgrain lining and wool trousers which together complemented his fair complexion, pale hair and light blue eyes.

She stared back at him with darkened eyes, forcing herself to further indulge him, fearful that her disinterest might foster more damaging inquisitions.

“An accomplished woman has always stood upon the fringes of progress, my dear. England far surpasses that of its cousins and children. Your conviction is almost staggering when in its presence my dear.”

His hand touched hers then and she could hardly fool herself the lenience he had given himself upon skittering his fingertips across the back of her hand. He patted her arm gently and drew her closer to him as they ambled through a tight pathway and he led her to a bench.

Arthur felt that the moment of proclamation was right. He was certain that a man of his station should not succumb to a woman no matter how pleasurable the thought of cock to quim. Especially the lovely Alice’s young quim.

He thought of how he’d take her, perhaps even before the taste of matrimonial consummation. And he further mused on the depth and tightness of his future lady’s delicate, well-bred pussy. But he reeled himself in and brought himself to the matter at hand.

She sat, as though waiting expectantly for him.

And then he knelt, ever so gallantly making his intentions clear as he looked up into her face dotingly. And she did something he had never expected, something that a man of his status and station could never fathom and succor.

She ran.

-&&-


Alice half expected her actions, for she simply felt her body pull into motion solely upon instinct. At present, she did not care for impropriety or society or even the swag gossip from the lips of the ton. She simply picked up her many yards and layers of silk and ermine and ran, her undergarments peeking out overtly risqué.

Her legs propelled her forward until she knew that she’d lost sight of the man then slowed ever so slightly as she came upon the door from which they’d exited perhaps half an hour ago. And she ran straight into the arms of her father, whose smile instantly died upon his lips as he took in her displaced, flushed countenance.

He expected the worst, she thought, that perhaps his youngest and only had just been defiled at the hands of a lord. A wealthy and powerful one at that.

She shook her head furiously half at the denial and half that her days of lightheartedness had peeled away in such a short duration of time. “Father,” she began her lower lip quivering terribly.

The look of contempt weighed heavily upon his brow as he continued to take in her disheveled appearance and grasped the bend of her arm fiercely half taking her from her feet as he ushered her from the cavernous vestibule- which led out to the marble portico- and into the much smaller antechamber leading into the quarters that served as his study and scholarly haven.

Without further word, she parted from him upon entering flexing and rubbing at her arm where surely a bruise should sprout some time soon. He’d never in her nine and ten years manhandled her. This new Papa, she did not understand- and did not want.

He went behind his oak desk to forage for a cigar.

He’d never done that, smoked in her presence due to him lamenting the decadent relief would incur upon her mind, feeble lungs and the female disposition. Her father walked nearby her perch in the armchair before the fireplace, which was lit but yet the warmth could not seep into her flesh. She felt sorrow and in the throes of drowning like a mewling kitten in a world of hurt and- and shock. She could not bring herself from this, she was sure of it.

“Father,” Alice began with a small voice.

And there she reminded him so much of the woman who had been his first wife. His first love. The woman he still in many ways grieved desperately for. He’d gone to the Africa as a fresh faced, opinionated youth full of hunger for protest and had returned to his homeland with a dark Namibian with an Afrikaans tongue. It had been…eventful, his return.

He pulled long on the cigar between his fingers at the unwarranted onslaught of memories.

“Silence Alice. I beg peace from your tongue for once.” He turned just so to throw his hot glare upon her.

Yes, she was definitely her mother’s. But he was there as well- somewhere between the olive, sun-darkened skin (that he couldn’t shield from the truth of the sun and ton) to the crown of golden locks billowed about her face like a halo. His wealth and name alone had been barely enough to shield her from society. Just barely.

“But father, I cannot have you think the worst of me- under the circumstances-”

He cut her off curtly. “You shall listen to me girl.”

Alice’s mouth clapped shut as she returned a hot look at being commanded such as this. She’d always been mindful of herself as a woman but from him- who had nurtured and cultivated her as a father of his station and possessive of that immense love, she could not have guessed this…

“I’ve coddled you for long enough, Alice.”

She spoke. “What do you mean?”

“He is a good man. Fine-breeding, wealth, and- and a well connected family Alice. Think of it, no man of his station will ever have you, there will not be a second likelihood of you marrying well, living a life I’ve afforded for you for so long now.”

“It does not matter. What are the chances that he will have me? But I shall not give him the option- I refuse to be a concubine.”

He approached her then at her vulgarity. “What do you know of it?”

“My mother’s pride runs deep in my veins and it tells me I am naught but a conquest, as there will be others naïve and fresh as me- pre and post-nuptial. This constant fawning, his rapt interest, he’s a charlatan.”

Richard Darhling slapped her hard across the face and for a moment he caught himself. The fear in her eyes, the skin about them wet with shock and tears as she stared back at him in disbelief. His hand trembled as he went to her to appease the pain, to remedy his actions.

Apart of him surely died this day for those were the words of his ex-wife. He had but wanted to reveal to her ways of the world, but she was a woman- who he had inhibited.

He retreated, his assaulting hand still at his side as it had newly become the assassin of his dearest relationship. The other clutched at the cigar- what was sending ribbons of smoke and tobacco odors into the atmosphere of the overcastted, book-shelved study.

He did not apologize, he knew his daughter just as he knew the conviction upon her face.

“I never wanted this for you, love. Nor us.”

Within she swayed as though she had disconnected from the world and its gravity. But she found herslef. She found pride, so that she may speak.

“You are mistaken. I cannot blame you for your ambitions father, I’m but a small piece upon the board, aren’t I not?" Her fists were balled at her sides, hidden by the folds of her skirts. And surprisingly she found that she could feel nothing towards him. A sure numbness had settled itself about her. "For in a much grander scheme of things there is nothing as perfuse as what gleams like the gilded gates to Parliament. I hope you will be happy in this decision, that you can eventually find absolution given that you make it to the ripe years of a century and forever.”

He motioned as though to speak, but this time it was he who was quieted.

She held her hand before him, knowing her resolve would be shaken if he held her close and loved her to the ends of the New World. “You have set me right to my ways, I know my place and that I ultimately have no decision in this. But understand if- when I do this, love lost will be between us surely. And I’ll leave you to your lecherous wife. She will know what to do with you and thus avenge me.”

Regaining her composure, she rose to her feet and readjusted her tan kid skin gloves. And she walked from the room, but paused momentarily to speak again. “I never said I would make the chase easy for him. I will not show him kindness and I will no longer indulge his musings of nothings. But if he still means to have me, I’ll tend my keep father. I gift you that. At least.”

And she walked away, for the second time for the day- away from the life she was so well versed in even if she did not call it to mind. She’d left his study, gaining a million and one years upon her head. As she left her father's study that evening she mused that upon entering she had been a foolish girl and daughter but now, with her back ramrod straight and forcing the dignity she did not possess- she was now a woman.

-&&-


The man would stay the night at the far left wing of the estate. She was grateful of the distance of course, but she could still feel his rancid breath upon her. As he fretted at his standing with her after she’d come into contact with him. That perhaps at sup he might’ve displeased her in some way.

Decidedly, silent it was, her father would retrieve the situation and so he did with his silver tongue from the silvered spoon residue.

In her room, she slipped from her layers of clothing, remaining in her cream, satin chemise and drawers.

“Chessa, I won’t need you tonight,” she stated as if from a distance.

The woman went still from picking up the clothing upon the bed. “Are you sure ma’am?”

“Deadly so.” She turned, half unseeing of the woman as Chessa silently moved about fetching her castoffs and replenishing fresh water in the basin for her wash.

As soon as the door clicked into place Alice finished undressing. Her small, slender hands squeezing and poking at the planes and valleys of her lean body. She was unfit to bear children, from where would they come from such a meager frame?

She washed her skin slowly, languidly relishing what would be possibly her last days of perpetual freedom. The cool cloth skittered across her hot flesh as her hands found her mound- the soft thatch of dark curls and then her pulsating core. And she was ever neglectful of her needs, she was fearful but perhaps- perhaps she thought it wouldn’t be that bad as she envisioned Lord Maher working her gushing pussy furiously.

She almost gagged. He was not portly, far from it, but she wanted to think of him as so. Not as the dashing, tall lord- Adonis to the ton- who’d come to call. The meal had been awkward and his skin looked like pig flesh secreting juices, causing a wan and unhealthy gleam to coat him. This might’ve been attributed to his obvious anxiety but she cared naught.

Chessa had irksomely lectured her upon the fineness of him, but the woman- she could have him whole if she wanted.

-&&-


Chessa went off to her duties as fast as humanly possible, excitedly pushing tendrils of escaping hair back into her bun. And when she came upon him, Lord Maher, under strict dictation from the lord of the manor she was more than willing to do said duties. Wages equating to nothing would be surely worth it even.

She rapped at the door thrice before entering the dim, gas lamp illuminated chambers. “Pardon me, sir.” She bobbed her curtsey at seeing the man in a state of undress.

“I’ve b-brought w-w-water,” here she was reeling like a schoolgirl caught by the headmistress.

He simply ignored her, waving her in with his sea-blue eyes glossy as though a world of worries were upon him. He sat upon the bed heavily undoing the ascot at his throat in one swipe as she clambered forward upon unsure limbs to pour water from the pitcher.

She stood there for some time, uncertain. Suddenly feeling especially inadequate in her thin layers of limp, wool petticoats, the fabric worked to inches of its life. She swallowed hard, “May I speak freely?”

Chessa had half expected to hear nothing from the man but she was frightened when he acknowledged her finally. “I’ve got ears, and you’re a free woman.”

“Certainly,” she agreed shifting from one foot to the other. “The lady will come around my lord.”

He reclined, defeated, perhaps she should not have broached the subject none at all. But nevertheless she continued, “I’m sure of it. She’s young and knows not the hardship of life as of yet and hopefully she will not have to.”

And she turned to leave but something came over her as she bit her lower lip ruthlessly. She dipped the wash cloth in the water and went over to him.

She sat.

There was no reaction which goaded her further into placing the cool cloth upon his warm, day-stained forehead.

His hand suddenly found hers as she sat there feeling ashamed but steadfastly transfixed by the blue sea gobbling her up and the firm, real fingers about hers. He let go, defeated again.

The cloth was upon his chest now, followed by a cold trail along his bared skin as it traveled lower until it rested at the top of his trousers. The crisp hairs upon his lower abdomen folded under her foreign weight as she looked at the evident bulge in his wool trousers then back to his eyes.

Which pled, Yes.

Her hand swiftly slipped beneath the fabric, her cool hand at once assaulted by the thick organ and the unimaginable heat within his pants. Her chest heaved lightly as electric shivers traveled through her as though she fought to vomit or expire of loss of breath, she was not certain.

But her head, it felt full and unthinking and she recalled reconciling her actions all the time: that she’d oftentimes went forgotten.

She peeled back the top flaps and his organ spilled free over to the side, finally breaking from its constraints. She looked at his eyes again, for some sign but she found none- she could not read him at all- as she took in the white flesh of his cock, the almost translucent skin ribbed with visible veins. The pink tip glistened lightly, betraying his appetite.

She continued to stare, finding her early shame dissipating rather quickly, his cock bulged by the second under her sheepishly placed hand, it looked like an animal- large in a mass of dark blonde curls.

Her fingers went to work as she gingerly gripped the shaft in her hand, pre-cum already flowing and wetting her skin. And a small challenge of her own as she gripped the other hand about the half-erect tool, licking her lips appreciatively as she failed to leave his glance the entire time as she parted his legs, knelt, then lowered her face to his crotch.

Lord Maher, he was much bigger than she’d ever imagined- not that the thought that this might happen had graced her mind. Her lips stretched over her teeth as she eased open her jaws ever so slightly as she lowered herself and fed his length into her inch by inch savoring that he felt the pressure of it the entire duration- by the look upon his face.

His hand moved to her head, slightly caressing her face as he loosened the bun upon her head, causing the thick locks to spill across her face and his swollen member.

She giggled, causing him to almost loose himself at the flutter of the back of her throat on his cock. He groaned audibly. “I still want to see that pretty face,” he huffed as he brushed the locks from her face.

Pretty. He’d called her pretty, but perhaps that had been proffered under the current circumstances. But who cared? She smiled within herself as she bobbed up and down- her full lips smacking and sucking at his cock, the girth stretching her face to the point of discomfort.

She dipped faster, her hands expertly pumping his shaft as her lips and tongue sucked up the length of tip to base, making enthusiastic gurgling noises. And half deep throating him to her disbelief- the fluids thick and streaming as she retreated for breath, his thick cock a new shade of screaming pink as she came up. He tasted of a light sweat and smelt of carnal musk.

She removed her mouth entirely before going back to the delicate tip, the slick sounds of working him with her fingers and hands incited her as she rubbed the fluids over his flesh- of saliva and semen- along the length for smooth friction. She smiled.

“How’s that my lord? I can tell it pleases you.” She giggled like a girl half her age.

“It does,” he agreed with a smile as the sticky sounds filled the dim room. “Suck me again.”

And she complied without argue, her head again dipping and sluicing his juices from the meat between his legs. He groaned again, through the fast up and down, up and down- suck and slurps as he peeled at her exposed chemise- his mouth forming a soft ‘O’- to free her heavy breasts and reveal hard, dark peaks upon the globes.

He squeezed hard, causing her to inhale deeply- her throat thrumming again and constricting, milking him- doing wonderful things to his cock. She sucked lightly at his testicles, bringing the loose sac into her mouth and nipping lightly, remembering not to neglect the delicate base of the scrotum. Her tongue flitted across like butterfly caresses, teasing his tip to no avail.

Chessa was not immune either. Her clit throbbed as a flood of hunger washed over her again, her center spilling its arousal from her slit. She found solace, even little, in grinding against his lower leg trying to find some kind of satisfaction through the layers of petticoat. The scent of her arousal wafted through the room.

They changed positions as he grew restless and eager, he gripped her head and wrest it at a grotesque angle as he clung to her tresses, thrusting his hips violently into her mouth as his member pumped rapidly, choking her and the sounds of oral satisfaction reverberating in her ears. His erection popped free and semen spilled from the corners of her lips.

And then his eyes had suddenly gone black with something, something she could not place as his grip became almost forceful as she discovered she was being pushed to her back by his strong, sculpted arms, his cock dangling from the splayed mouth of his trousers. There was little time wasted as he shed what stood between him and satisfaction.

Within seconds he was completely nude and ripping at her bodice and petticoats.

“My lord,” she pled feebly as she placed a hand at his chest. “It’s the only good one I’ve got.”

“I will buy another,” he said frustrated. She remained silent as he disrobed her and she retreated back on the bed her thatch of brunette curls on display.

Arthur lunged for her legs and pulled her roughly towards him and in a fluid motion he was hovering above her, his cock at a salute and shaking at his every move. Her breath was held the entire time as he neglected foreplay completely as he opened her thighs further apart with his own, the same hotness rolling from his groin and now his entire body was flushed by the fever.

He wet the ends of his fingers with his tongue before lightly stroking his tip then reached for her cunt. She was so wet for him already, for she was practically spilling juices from her entrance and down her plump ass. He positioned himself before violently ramming half of himself into her slick channel. And he worked her pussy rapidly, his cock pummeling in and out in a tacky rhythm, his balls slapping loudly against her ass as he pushed up- jamming against her spot then out of her.

She bucked beneath him the entire time, equally as involved, trying to full her pussy to the brim. Her legs pulled high to her sides and parted as far as though they might split.

Perhaps he was not the perfect lover but it had always sufficed, with the size of him and all. Many women found it satisfying. He panted as he still lapped at her vigorously, “Speak trollop.” He ground his hips furiously, inspiring something that sounded like tongues to flow from her.

His face was mere inches from her and every hot zone of them connected. Her lips were wet from oblivion as the bed quaked up and down from his exertion.

He slapped her ass for her to comply.

She spoke that odd tongue again. “Arthur,” Chessa moaned.

She was close to coming, but as soon as he hit that spot again he had slid out of her before she could recall a rhyme. She recovered quickly, thinking they had been caught but instead he had scrambled to his knees, his eyes filled with fury and reached beneath her armpits and carted her off the bed.

“What are you doing, my lord?” By now she was smart enough to conjure fear, by the look on his face and his half nowhere near flaccid cock, slick and alert, as he shoved her towards the chair. “Did I offend you?”

Arthur stood before her, looking down at his nose through hooded eyes. He stalked forward clenching her hair in a fist, her pale, plump body glistening under the firelight. “Don’t you ever address me by name.”

He then flung her over the back of the chair, the hard peak digging into her ribcage and chaffing her breasts to near pain. Arthur positioned himself behind her, kicking her legs apart as he nestled himself between her. He entered, swift and painfully.

She was torn between pain and pleasure. He ravaged her and showed no semblance of compassion as his girth ripped into her, pushing her walls apart painfully. Their juices sloshed, causing the make of suction sounds upon their eager meeting as it trailed down her inner thighs as he pounded her senseless, her back and ass arching into him- her greedy pussy showing no loyalty.

He slowed eventually but that only incited more pain as he yanked her hair harder, her hairline standing at the roots.

“You will submit. Who are you to refuse me,” he hissed into her ear. He was no fool the chit was playing him, beating him at his game. But he would have the last laugh, he always did. He slapped her ass four times and she cringed beneath his touch but yet she nudged into his cock, desperate for more.

It played on like this for the next hour and half. He would inflict pain, even he was almost aghast at his extent of play- he’d never exceeded his set limits. Not with a lady, but he remembered she was no lady- merely a moment’s whore who needed to be broken. He would offer pain but conditioned as she had become, would eagerly submit knowing that an escape lay ahead.

He thrashed her bare bum again.

Chessa whimpered, her tears all but gone as of now. There was no out of it, she had stepped into something that was beyond her and it was the fear that kept her going. She trooped on, taking what was dealt, he’d spoken. And she had not heard. Which granted her another slap on the ass. She now realized he was no longer acknowledging her, but he was now fucking Alice.

Her pussy wasted no time on eating up his cock, as she eased backward unto his hard rod and gyrating hips. “Hmm, yes. Fuck.” The tendons at his neck protested as he fought the impending expenditure. He wasn’t ready, they weren’t finished.

Arthur grasped her hips and plowed into the soft, tight core of her pussy once again, feeling as though he could never tire of the hot recess. But all good things must come to an end. He repositioned her for his comfort, hoisting up her backside- his muscular buttocks clenching from the steady pumping and rode her like a bitch in heat.

She’d come at least four times during their session. Her walls ebbed from the fifth or seventh orgasm (she’d lost count some time ago) and she felt his release of seed as he slumped upon her, spent, before sliding from her causing her to unceremoniously crumble to the floor her wonton legs splayed for the world to see as his hot seed and her cream spilled from her and pooled on the ground before her ass. The entrance of her cunt visibly expanded and contracted, her face contorted in pain and head thrown back as she fought for tears that would not come.

She could no longer look at him, if she did she would be looking at something nondescript upon him such as an odd birth mark or the singular tan, but not his genitals if she could help it nor his eyes. Especially those laughing eyes, which she had now come to translate as a sneering. There was a darkness in him, she was sure of it. No man could do such- unspeakable things and be able walk about in polite society. He motioned towards her and she flinched at seeing his hands and the memory of what they’d done to her, where they had touched her.

It was as though she no longer existed in his world as he stepped over as though she were a cast aside throw rug and to the nightstand where the basin lay. He soaked the cloth, wrung as though what transpired here were nonchalant things, and lowered his hands to clean his cock. She watched, speechless as he stroked the underside and his testicles. After their coupling, he had finished himself, expelling his remaining spunk upon her- her face and breasts- especially the breasts seeing he was so fond of them.

Then he had ceased to see her. She was back to maid Chessa, nothing Chessa that a lord could fuck and throw away just as he cast off the cloth at her feet. She watched him as he walked to the bed, with his back turned and his hard form perfect under the gas light as he climbed into bed and lay down. He positioned himself until he was content then folded his hands behind his head, his cock lying flaccid and satisfied across his abdomen.

Silently Chessa reached for the cloth and went about cleaning herself, ridding him from herself as her hand worked between her legs and a sob forming thickly in her chest as she conjured up what was left of her dignity. She dressed, all the while subject to the scrutiny of his eyes what were half shielded by his generous lashes. She donned her dress- wincing every now and again at grazing the many welts upon her body, cradled one of the torn petticoats to her bosom, then bobbed a curtsey upon finding her exit- pulling the door’s hinges to a quiet close.

She made a vow. That at any expense, she would protect the girl from one Lord Arthur Tobias Mather.

Wounded Rhymes


The morn brought a fresh springtime breeze through Alice’s half-mast window as she made her first cognizant turn for the day. She’d overslept it seemed, by the tell of full bands of sunbeams, causing a disparaging groan to pass her lips at the realization that the previous day had come to past. Much To her horror.

But one could not sit and place their misfortunes in a basket, nonetheless how badly she wanted to foster those grievances. And desperately did she try to convince herself that she was the woman of quiet certainty but nevertheless the previous afternoon lingered in the recesses of her mind, like a ridiculing patch of bad weather.

She had gone above and beyond her rank with her father- that of her complacent tongue and misconstrued notion of dignity- and a woman could not afford such a decorous luxury. Fear made her desperate and flighty, but it was that in itself, fear, which kept her in the down of her bead. Amends could be made, perhaps her standing was salvageable. She knew not from where what had inspired in her this madness.

At one time it would be one thing that a glance would send her soul buoyant at a mere glance at her father. But now, she knew not where they stood. He’d struck her, her hand flittered to her left cheek at the remembrance still in her flesh. She supposed the wound upon her heart was visible in her flesh but she was still physically composed.

And her unabashed hatred towards her step mother- it seemed that drunk with anger, her tongue had been extremely forgetful. Perhaps the damage was done, Alice could envision the seams of their once tight knit ecosphere unraveling before her very eyes.

Her lips shivered and a deep sob found itself stuck at her throat at realizing that it wasn’t anything for a woman to find escape in marriage but not ever did she fixate herself pondering the same circumstances. It was being thrust upon her nonetheless, but there was something appealing. There were certain freedoms but in reality it would be nothing more than another prison filled with pretentious curtains- and under another man’s thumb.

Perhaps she’d outlive the Earl. But she thought better, his line was blessed with vigor and longevity much to her dismay and disfavor. He’d breed her relentlessly she knew as much, Alice thought as she began the slow process of steeling herself. He would want sons and with his rumored virility… but that was ton gossip- not meant for a gel’s docile ears. But in her defense she was not secluded in some ivory tower. She possessed intellect enough to surmise as there was not enough that a governess could tutor or a university could provide a woman.

Woman was the very definition of trial. She thrust back the covers and prepared herself for presentation. Her skin flushed with a whore’s blush as she managed to dress herself without the aid of her maid, which pleased her greatly because at present she could not bother with company, for certain sorrows were best mulled over in privacy. Then a thought came to her, one that she had not ever contemplated.

-&&-


Alice exited her chambers with hesitation and traversed the expansive pearl-hued and gilded crown molding corridors with a bittersweet lump caught in her throat. She would miss here, despite everything about the place being devoid of warmth. It was the shades of the once content that passed through these rooms that gave it even a glimmer of light, but not now- not after... A soft shuffle and she was thrown from her reverie.

She caught sight of Chessa quietly closing a door, a wash basin in hand, her frame looking weary as Alice stole an unguarded moment. It was brief but the two made eye contact before the woman’s years spilled from her and was reduced to a girl evading Alice’s gaze.

“Chessa.” Alice stopped dead in her tracks at her maid’s demeanor.

Chessa did not respond, instead sheepishly brushed back frayed wisps of hair and her hand smoothening the cloth stretching across her abdomen.

“Are you ill?” Alice immediately went into action and removed the basin from her hands. “Come sit.” She then ushered Chessa to a nearby armchair and knelt before her friend. “Please, speak to me. You’re worrying me.”

Chessa cleared her throat twice, her eyes swimming in a glaze. “It’s nothing ma’am.”

“Do not lie to me, Chessa. I happen to know when you’re lying.” A tear slipped from her friend and she used the loose apron about her waist to pat the offense away. Her voice softened by degrees, “Now what is the matter. Neither of us will budge from this spot I fear, until you divulge your worries.”

In answer she bowed her head and clasped her hands, looking at them dejectedly. “I cannot,” she sniffled.

Alice tipped her head up, forcing her to look at her. “Why can’t you look at me?” But Chessa only worried her hands more incessantly.

“Look, Chessa. I’ve considered you more than a maid or friend- but much of a sister to me. And I love you as I would one, I cherish that above else. It saddens me that you can’t come to me when I feel as though I am able to turn to you in any hour of duress. I have shared everything with you, so why mustn’t you?” She covered her hands over hers. “Please.”

A look flew into her and the earlier flight warping her mannerisms doubled in severity. She hugged Alice to her furiously and kissed the sides of her face. “I don’t deserve such a loyalty.”

“Yes you do,” Alice exclaimed adamantly. “You are my truest friend.”

“I do not deserve that either.” She clung to her mistress, not quite wanting to let go. She had betrayed her greatly but what she’d learned was something was perhaps to absolve her. Chessa, ultimately though, was not concerned about absolution it was simply she wanted so badly to save her friend- yes, her friend from something she herself could not understand or very much deter.

Both women, wrapped in an embrace failed to hear the heavy footfalls approaching them.

It was Chessa who was the first to be brought back to reality. Her breath caught in her throat and she could feel her face swell with indistinguishable shame, lust, and anger for the man before her. Her legs were loose and brittle like pasta shells and she feared she would not trust herself to stand on her feet.

Her mouth gaped slightly and a small sound escaped like wind stealing through an empty house.

She clung to Alice, as though desperately trying not to make one or the other see or perhaps to shield herself, she could not decide.

“Lord Mather.” Alice jolted at the change of atmosphere, his pleasant demeanor contradicting by wallowing in electricity. “I didn’t notice you.” She disentangled herself from Chessa and eased to her feet a little winded, partly on his unexpected presence she assumed.

Chessa watched silently from her perch at the transaction, even with her, Arthur barely acknowledged her- a fleeting glance as if that were all she was, a fleeting moment equating to naught. He did though voraciously consume Alice, and the poor girl reacted obliviously to this. She simply climbed to her feet with the elegance afforded to her station and the guarded mask marred her face. Chessa was relieved by this, that all her persistent lamentation of his fineness had not softened her.

She was very glad for this.

“May I request a moment’s dalliance? I fear that I must right certain misconceptions from yesterday, please forgive my forwardness to come directly to you instead of speaking forthrightly with your father but I feel that in it being a matter of the heart that I must implore that you-”

“Lord- Arthur. Please, it is hardly necessary to apologize. But as I think of it, if you would accompany me to my sitting room we could speak of it more appropriately.”

Alice broke away from the dialogue to look on Chessa. She hugged her again before whispering, “Later. We shall speak later, of whatever is troubling you.”

Chessa’s stomach fell as she watched Alice place her arm in the crook of his and the two slowly walked away.

“Tea?”

He’d been wolfing her down for the most part of being in her presence, for he could not control himself at such an intimate proximity. Her delicate scent wafted and skewed his senses as she stretched across him, her body quite innocently if not unconsciously pressing into him briefly before lifting the teapot and pouring its contents into the feminine bone white china.

His cock was unsympathetic to her wiles, because somewhere deep within her he thought she knew what her coy wiles were capable of.

She brought her cup to her lips, saucer in hand and sipped deeply with satisfaction after pursing her soft lips to blow across the hot fluid surface. She seemed disconnected and pensive, even behind that well construed smile.

“About the previous afternoon,” he began.

But to his surprise she held up an index finger playfully. She leaned forward again and removed the crystal dome that was the centerpiece of the snack table. She held forth a platter of what appeared to be cookies.

“Madeleine.” It was not a query, simply a demand and he was wise enough to catch on as she waited with the steadfastness in her dreamy dark eyes.

“Of course,” he took the crisp delicacy sitting at the peak. “But I think what I-”

“Uhh ah,” she warned as she waited for him to take a bite. He complied as she looked on at him in satisfaction as he took a mouthful. “That is much better.” She animatedly set the platter back amongst the festivities of fresh cut lilies and orchards and bouncily turned to him, then straightened out her skirts chastely layer by layer.

She took up most of the love seat, he didn’t mind for it was more of an opportunity to be closer to her- to take her in, in turrets as she was close enough for the light perfume at her neck to enrapture him. The fine lines of her lips, how plump and sweet.

Alice clasped her hands and held close guard to her cards. “Lavender madeleines. I made them myself.”

If it were only decorum he’d muse that what he beheld seated before him was a gem amongst paste but something told him flesh and bodily that this woman was more than he’d given credit. He could accept that, he favored the chase really. It had been some time now since he had conviction in little, especially considering the nether regions.

This ploy of hers- somewhere between teasing and placating him with sweets she had somehow gained the upper hand. He could feel the succession of succeeding power. And that was dangerous for him. He prided himself on being a man of enterprise- both in his business endeavors and the carnal bed. This, he could not understand. In her presence she had him buckling at his knees, worshipping her almost.

Perhaps it was more so his ego who had fallen victim. She was tainted, for lack of a better word. And him, he by nature was the repair man in all aspects of his life. He salivated almost at the prospect of conquering a woman such as that. Undesirable, shunned, scandalized…

And she did not want him.

He was very well aware of this, he’d be a simpleton if he didn’t. But that did not discourage him from playing upon oblivion, it did quite excite him to see her blatant discomfort. Her distaste and disinterest made her exclusive, made him quiver at the prospects… But now it appeared there had been some colossal shift, following yesterday and its tumultuous events.

And that, he chose to overlook that… thwarting occurrence, he’d managed to save face- he simply had to. And her father, the dense man had believed he had conciliated him. It didn’t hurt one bit to be perceived as a lovesick fool inebriated on a foolhardy notion love. He had no love for her, at least he believed it was very little of that as he really considered it as she spoke on about some sort of womanly nonsense.

And it did take a bit of effort to actually listen to her oftentimes, when all he wanted to do was fuck her until she squirmed with the distress of having him inside her. She had taken apart of him and he wanted it back, to even reimburse her for the inconvenience.

And that was the problem, to fuck her would be one thing but to actually have her was something altogether. She was old money, her father was bursting from the seams in prestige. And the pure mystery of her in entirety, the contempt of the ton- the gem in the ivory tower. The bullshit of it was romantic, really, the whole tragic marionettes upon the stage was very appealing to one as jaded as he.

He was bored and looked at her essesntially as an outlet, a project of sorts- one who had her grip about his balls.

She laughed airily although he could feign believably to know what the topic was on.

Yes, this was in actuality about ownership. Especially power. Apart of him, what he had held in check flared whenever in her presence as he found himself excited again and shifted in discomfort to alleviate the constriction of his cock. After all, she was breathtaking in the plum colored dress.

“Yesterday,” he began. He tired of this game of hers, the deflection and heady blushing she was playing at. He had no interest in a woman that wanted him- for he wanted the game. The taming. He wanted to break her.

He turned into her, freeing his coat tails from between them so he could face her wholly “I sought to make my intentions evident.”

“I intend to court you, I have spoken to your father and he has bestowed his blessing upon this endeavor. But out of newfound respect for you I have approached you on this in order to go about this tactfully with discretion.”

And here he was reduced to this. Proposing marriage in order to have a woman. The thought would have been ludicrous months before but in regard to stacking his new venture against the naysayers. And he defended his motive that it was more so a strategic business reposition if not for the sole reason of attaining unattainable pussy.

The Darhling family had lucrative exportation ties to Africa and the Indian Ocean- thus infinite possibilities. So he could muse and rightfully say his cock, for once, had not led him astray.
He was, in retrospect, in good spirits with a victory on the horizon. He saw the shock behind the mask of pleasantry and he smiled cruelly. Yes, he had her now. For once he set sights on an undertaking, he stood resolute.

-&&-


She was in shock. It was one thing to prepare for one’s execution but to walk the mile following the last supper, that was something she had not prepared for. Alice leaned forward with trepidation in her belly, her hands voicing said anxiety as she placed a hand to her stomach as she reached for her cup. She took a deep drink of the now cold draught. But of course, that did not help.

Alice looked at him with hatred bleeding her eyes, a feeling as raw and unabated as she’d ever had sanction to feel. In that moment he had robbed them – her, her relationship with her father- of all they had constructed these past years. There came the next verdict, the severing of her affection for her father and the finality that he had finality retreated from her and joined the mob, what was set to be her undoing. It was as though Arthur no longer teetered that line of her existence of them and her.

For a moment of time he had transcended that line and she feared that as best as she could hope there may never be a second chance. He had single-handedly managed to destroy the love of one person she adored, all for the sake of her father’s aspirations if she was able to face the truth- and for what? Wealth? They already had this, she was perplexed, wasn’t that enough but she knew her father had an obsession with betterment.

And here she was with her womanly scorn, she had foolishly sworn it- the dissipation of her relationship with her father, and to save face she would have to produce. How could she begrudge her dignity? This here was the catalyst to the end of her world as she knew it.

Not only was she shocked, but she found herself to be speechless as well. She gaped stupidly at him as she turned over in her mind what he had said, proposed actually. And finding out that she truly had no sway over her life or anything for the matter was extremely sobering.

“I do not know what to say my lord.” She licked her suddenly dry lips. Her dark eyes meeting his resounding ones.

His fingers trailed across his lap over to hers to cradle her hands in his. “Only that you would have me, when I do ask. I want to bring you consolation as to my motives, I admire you and we would make a fine match I fear. Gentle, steadfast, and endearing. That you are.”

It sounded so tepid coming from him. But upon his skin touching hers- the realness of it she crumbled and she fought to hide the tremor of her legs and the lax settling in her bones. “Lord Mather, I feel inadequate for such grand accolades.”

She lowered her chin almost demurely but his fingertips raced to her chin and tilted her head so he may continue seeing her eyes. “You are very deserving, my dear.” She watched as though in slowed motion, his clutch raising her hand as his sandy head lowered.

His lips were soft and left a blistering trail, as she swore she felt the flitter of his tongue against her skin as his mouth skittered across the back of her hand. She retreated but his hold was firm. And finally when he did return his gaze to hers they shone with a smoldering intensity that had her mouth going dry.

“I beg to simply impart a small token of my affection.” His eyes shimmered as though he’d lost any semblance of the gentleman that he was, merely mirroring a predator circling in the murky waters.

Her breath held tight, her breasts heaving heavily as the breath expelling from her blew out humid and thick. Her lips parted, waiting for the translation to connect.

Arthur shuffled silently, navigating his way into her space. He paused, still searching her demeanor for something as his grip still held hers. His hands shifted, slowly climbing her skirts then the narrow dip of her hips to rest at her waist as he moved in encouraged by her inaction.

Just a taste, he reconciled with himself.

He moved in at the earliest opportune, drinking in her breath and clutching her supple flesh. His tongue darted out tasting her lips- that sweet breath. He’d barely delved in but he’d become heady from the sugar and taste from tea and sweets. And it was as he’d dreamt, she complied- her soft mouth encouraging him as he plunged into the tight corners. He explored languidly, lapping at her lips- his tongue tasting hers- the deliberate tango as he coaxed her body into his rhythm.

She exhaled a faint mew, which maddened him enormously. Soon she was pushed back into the loveseat and his torso was set upon hers, the soft grind of his hips against her pure delirium. The play was nice, the laze as he began to knead higher towards the soft peaked mounds.

But he reigned in, remembering himself. It was too soon, for he enjoyed the chase more than he’d liked to have admitted. He gave long parting kisses as he drew them back up into erect positions.

Her face appeared somewhat stunned as she looked at him bewilderedly before her fingertips absentmindedly found her full lips. Her free hand worried at her skirt as her mind scuttled about in conversation. What was the matter with her? She’d never- had those feelings before, as intense as that.

But nonetheless she met his gaze and he’d been just as rattled as her. His immaculate hair was slightly out of place, his cravat shifted and his lips parted as though deliberating the prospects of another go about.

“I believe I should take my leave.” She looked away, at the pastel floral wallpaper- at nothing in particular. “My father has been expecting me for the past hour now.”

But neither of them moved. Arthur was the first to initiate action, he leaned forward to reclaim her hand. And his lips touched at her hand again, this time more chastely although he could do little to conceal the hunger in his eyes. “Have confidence in me and I will prove myself to you.”

Arthur raised to his feet and in leave-taking shot her a glance before leaving her with her demons.

There was not much to ponder on at her watching him- but the kiss, the memory of it was well branded on her and left her confused. As to what she felt for the man or even where she would subsist in all of this.

She could do this, she thought defiantly. Because she had to, she could do what needed to be done but nevertheless she found that she- who was her last champion- had even betrayed her own self.
