Lucy stood and turned to face her tutor, her face beaming. “Thank you, Professor. Thank you very much for your help.”
Charles smiled warmly. “You are most welcome, Miss Furniss. I shall see you tomorrow.” She nodded, and then turned and left the room.
Edward watched as Charles gathered his papers. As he escorted him to the door, he said, “It seems Lucille simply needed to have an incentive to truly apply herself to her studies. Her fear of another good thrashing served her well don’t you think?”
“I believe your ward will make you proud, Lord Wintercrest, if you only give her a chance.”
Edward smiled knowing the man’s shifting expressions during the exchange telling Edward that his guest had more he wished to say, and waited for him to do so. When Charles remained silent, he was slightly disappointed, but nodded and motioned for Henri. His driver led Charles down the steps and soon had him settled in the carriage.
Edward watched as the carriage disappeared down the drive. He smiled as he contemplated all he had learned over the last two days. His ward was indeed a young woman in need of strict discipline as well as having all the makings of a very good little submissive. Her beauty had caught the eye of her teacher and, if Edward knew anything about men—and he did—Charles’ eyes weren’t the only part of his anatomy that was desirous of the young woman. The teacher had jumped to defend his student with the quickness of a man defending his maiden. However, Edward had very serious doubts about Charles’ ability to tame Lucille much less allow her to find true fulfillment in her life. Knowing that the following few days would only cause his surety in his beliefs of what Lucy needed to be proven, he smiled and closed the door. Professor Lloyds would perhaps be one of Lucille’s suitors but Edward already had his mind on another man as a possible rival for her attention. One far more suited for the spirited young woman.
Edward forced himself to push aside the thoughts of his ward and, instead, climbed the stairs thinking of his own special little lady. Louisa was in her crib and he felt his cock stir as he contemplated on how well she had learned the lesson he had begun teaching her while Lucy studied. Naptime was over, it was time for the Lord of Wintercrest to wake his little one and see how attentive a student his precious young wife could be.
