Surrender Your Grace (24 page)

Cici let out a shaky breath and whispered, “thank you, my lo-.” She stopped abruptly as he gave her his patented censorious stare and added hastily, “uh Andrew.”

“Back to my lo-uh Andrew, is it?” He bent his head and grazing her ear with his lips whispered, “We shall have to work on that some more tonight.”

“Yes please,” she breathed as a shiver of anticipation ran down her spine. They hadn’t been together for over a week, which was a tortuously long time for them. Although an old married couple of seven years, they still craved one another. Andrew was stunningly adept at keeping things fresh and exciting in the marriage bed. He even pulled out the forbidden sex manual and played pick a page at least once a week.

He chuckled at the lusty look in her eyes, enjoying her heated response. Turning her toward a wooden swing that was hidden in a shaded alcove in the garden, they settled to watch their children play in the sandbox as they relaxed, gently swinging. He then asked about her recent trip home.

“You found your parents well?”

“Yes, they enjoy good health even though papa will be sixty next month. Mama thinks he is too grumpy by half, but they are well.”

“And Elizabeth and her vicar?” He asked this in a detached tone, his demeanor always cool and remote whenever they discussed her sister. She couldn’t blame him. Neither had been able to forget her mistreatment of Cici and the pain that she caused.

“He is very good for her, Andrew. I am thankful that my parents stood firm and made her stay in the country. Otherwise they may have never met and fallen in love.”

He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, efficiently bringing the swing to a halt. Cici’s hand rose to his back and she stroked him, comforting him knowing the depth of his feelings for her sister. “I’m grateful that you changed your mind and allowed me to visit. She is truly contrite and prays daily for God’s forgiveness as well as ours. Jonathan is very supportive, keeps a careful eye on her and she has become an asset to the church and community. They are expecting their first child this fall and I pray for their happiness.”

“You are a better Christian and much more charitable than I. I don’t wish her misfortune, but I can’t seem to muster the strength to wish her well.”

Leaning into his side, she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her forehead against his broad shoulder. “I understand, Andrew. I guess it’s easier for me because I remember when she was a loving sister to me as a girl. I don’t blame you for feeling the way you do and neither do Jonathan and Elizabeth. But I have to remind you, if not for her devious ways, we might never have come together.”

They sat in comfortable silence both deep in thought for a long while. The children having tired of the sand played with a ball nearby. When luncheon was announced he helped her to her feet, his arm wrapping around her waist and he would have slipped it lower and cupped her curvy bottom if it hadn’t been for the bustle on her gown. He shook his head and turned her around. “Damned contraption. I’m sure a man didn’t think up this manky design.”

“Actually, Charles Worth is credited with creating the bustle.”

Hearing that Worth was the inventor, he nodded his head in confirmation. “A totty-headed nincompoop to be sure.”

The children who were within earshot found this hilarious and began to chant, “Nincompoop, nincompoop, totty-headed nincompoop” over and over.

Cici frowned at her husband’s language. She shook her head and sighed knowing the children would be chanting it for days and weeks to come. Their papa was their hero and they idolized anything he did. Andrew, who couldn’t overlook the humor in the situation, cut his laughter short as he took in his wife’s expression. “Sorry, my love,” he said before turning to James and Caroline, squatting down to their level. “Papa shouldn’t have said such a naughty thing and you shouldn’t repeat it, understood?”

“Mama punishes us when we are naughty.” James piped up.

“She does?”

“Yes, she puts us on the naughty stool in the corner, papa.”

“Some of my friends get spankings for saying bad words, papa.” Caroline nodded with sincerity.

“Yes, papa needs a spanking.” James giggled at the thought of his big papa being paddled. Andrew shook his head in dismay and was about to explain why that wasn’t going to happen. when he was rescued by the nanny calling the children in to wash up before luncheon. As they scampered away, Caroline remembered that she’d wanted to go to the stable. “What about Daisy’s apple, papa?”

“After luncheon we shall all go to the stables and have a ride, Caro.”

“Hurrah!” she cheered then ran hurrying after James to share the news.

“Really Andrew, the things you say around the children are almost as bad as what you say around me.” She gave him a mockingly reproving look with a little shake of her head.

“Hardly sweet Cici. It’s fortunate that I was still in papa mode and didn’t say something truly vulgar.”

“Ironic isn’t it, after all the spankings I have received over the years for bad language, you are the one corrupting the children. It would seem that papa is indeed in need of a spanking.”

“Ah my love, I have been naughty. But the day you take a paddle to my arse is the day I wear a bustle and skirts while dancing a waltz at the Whitamore’s annual ball.”

Amused by the image that came instantly into her head; her eyes traveled his tall, muscular form as she pictured him in tulle, lace and a bustle. Abandoning her mild pique she burst into a gale of the most unladylike laughter. “Oh Andrew, I can see it now. You sashaying around the Whitamore’s formal ballroom with your bustle cage abrading your well spanked behind. One can only dream, my love.”

Grabbing her, he slid both hands down her hips and gripped her backside beneath the full drape of material and caging that made up her bustle. He lifted her against him and ground his rapidly hardening shaft into her as he dipped his head to lap at the hint of cleavage that peaked above the neckline of her summer gown. “Enjoy your wicked little imaginings, my darling but know that it is just a fantasy. Picture me taking you hard and fast tonight after I warm your backside for disrespect, now that will truly be a dream come true.”

“I was only joking, Andrew.” She became breathless under his caressing hands and wandering mouth.

“I know my love, but you know me. I look for any opportunity to exert my dominance and have you lying naked and draped submissively across my thighs. But don’t worry; my hand on your bare bottom will only be a prelude to the main performance. I have a craving for some
soixante-neuf
, my darling. I’ll make you come over and over and over with my fingers and mouth while you devour my cock.” Groaning into her neck he growled, “I can’t wait to conquer your delectable body.”

She melted against him, her nipples hardening with the familiar moisture collecting between her thighs. “Your wicked tongue and fingers are too glorious to contest. I surrender, Your Grace.”

Those words said in a husky, desire-laden voice were nearly his undoing as he pressed firmly against her soft, curvy body.

“Oh Andrew, I can’t imagine how I will make it to this evening.”

“No need to wait then. I am the master of this domain and if I choose to take my pleasure with my beloved wife in the full light of day, who is there to gainsay me?” He then scooped her up in his strong arms and carried her off to their rooms. The servants thought nothing of the sight of the squealing duchess, giggling helplessly in His Grace's arms. They were blessed to serve the happy and loving family and wouldn’t have it any other way.

The end.
