“Yes, this is true.” Shelly nodded.
“Learn well Shelly.” Gwyneth sat her cup down and stood, walking out into the gardens.
Shelly followed her. She knew that there was a reason why Gwyneth had taken the time to talk to her, she wanted to know why. They had never been friends and there was always tension between them. She looked over the roses in the garden, she had never seen so many colors of roses. The aroma was intoxicating.
“I planted this garden.” Gwyneth stated, “When I had your room. You see Shelly, I have already put in for your transfer to come to Rome. So I know you will be staying in this house, in that room.”
Shelly gasped, this was not something she had expected. She figured she would have to work harder for it. To charm her way to remain. It seemed it had already been set up in advance. She looked up and saw that Adrian was walking towards them. He approached Gwyneth and kissed her on the cheek. Shelly caught her breath, he still affected her and made her heart flutter. He hugged her and then stepped back.
“Glad to see you both could make it.” He finally said. “Colby will be here soon I have been told. Then we will be meeting in the great room.”
“I will make sure Shelly is ready Adrian.” Gwyneth smiled. “We don’t want to disappoint Colby as to what he has heard about her now do we?”
Adrian shook his head and laughed. He turned and went back to the castle and slipped inside. Shelly was wondering what exactly Colby had been told of her. She was sure she would find out. Gwyneth headed back inside, leaving the table as it was. The cakes remained where they had been placed. Shelly desperately wanted to have one, she figured there would be plenty to eat later at dinner.
Gwyneth led Shelly back to the room and walked in the closet, bringing back out with her a black sequined dress and matching shoes. Placing the dress on the bed, she then went to the dresser and pulled out a pair of black silk stockings. She opened the next drawer and found a silk camisole to wear under the dress. Shelly watched as Gwyneth put her outfit together.
“Colby likes sexy, not trashy dear.” Gwyneth stated as she nodded to the clothes. “He is Italian and likes to imagine what you have underneath.”
“Gwyneth, why don’t you like me?” Shelly finally asked.
“Because you remind me of me when I was your age.” Gwyneth finally stated. “I worked my way to the top as well, I paid a heavy price as well. Now sit down so I can help you with your hair.”
Shelly somewhat understood the statement. She could not believe that Gwyneth would do what she stated. She watched as Gwyneth put her hair in a French twist and put a string of black pearls around her neck. Handing Shelly the matching earrings to put on. Gwyneth handed Shelly the camisole and left the room for her to get dressed. It was not until Shelly had put on the dress she saw that the camisole gave the dress a unique look.
Turning and looking in the mirror, she was amazed at how well the dress fit and how good she looked in it. Slipping on the shoes, she was not sure if she was supposed to wait for Gwyneth. She stepped out into the hallway and saw Adrian and Gwyneth standing and talking. It seemed as if they were waiting for her to come out.
Adrian was the first to notice her. He whistled and nodded. Leaving Gwyneth’s side, he walked over to Shelly and placed is arm around her waist, leaning in to her, his lips brushed her ear. She wanted to rub her hands over his body and ride his hard cock until they both fell asleep in exhaustion only to rise and do it all over again. They used to get away for the weekends and have a sex marathon. Out of all the men she had been with, he was the one she actually cared about.
“I want to take you back into the bedroom and muss your hair up.” He whispered and smiled. His dark eyes sparkled. “And rip that dress off you.”
“Maybe later.” She responded as she felt him lead her down the hall.
Rex came out of his room and saw the three, joining them, they all headed to the great room. When they entered, Shelly saw why it was called the great room. It was mind blowing with everything that had been placed in there. For Shelly it was like stepping into a museum. There were statues and paintings that amazed her. She was awestruck as she looked at everything in the room. She felt Adrian lead her away from Gwyneth and Rex.
“Look, now don’t be nervous about meeting Colby.” He commented to her as he showed her the paintings in the room. “He can be a bit intimidating. He also knows a great deal about you.”
“Should I be worried?” Shelly asked as she placed her hand to her chest.
“No, he just knows you came up the ranks quickly.” Adrian laughed. “He will quiz you on the company and what you have learned.”
“I can handle that.” She responded.
“He is going to want to know who you fucked and sucked as well.” Adrian stopped and looked at her. “He has heard the rumors, he is aware. Clients tell him everything and he finds it amusing.”
Shelly noticed that the room was filling up and she wanted to disappear into the walls at that point. She was not sure how she felt now about her climb to the top. Sure she had stepped over the line. Who had not in this business? She never slept with the clients until the package was sold, she was always just the cherry on top. Her mind raced on how to handle Colby and what he might throw at her. She heard the room go silent and turned from Adrian to see a man walk in.
He smiled and nodded, shaking hands as he entered. His jet black hair made him look as if he were in his 30’s. His blue eyes sparkled as he nodded and listened to the conversations directed to him. He searched the room and found his target. Walking over to Gwyneth, he hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek. She took Colby’s hand and led them to where Adrian and Shelly were standing.
Meeting the Big Man
“Colby I want to introduce you to Shelly McCloud.” Gwyneth stated. “And of course you know Adrian.”
“Yes, yes.” Colby laughed and looked at Shelly. “I see why my grandson is taken with you Miss McCloud.”
“Your grandson?” Shelly responded, her heart dropped.
“Oh, yes, you did not know.” Colby laughed heartily. “Adrian is my Grandson.”
Shelly’s face dropped and she felt the lump in her throat. She could find no words to say. She looked at Colby and smiled softly. Her mind was racing as what to say. There were no words to say, in all her research, she had never found this.
“Come with me Miss McCloud.” Colby said. “I would like to discuss your place in this company. If you will excuse us Adrian and Gwyneth.”
He nodded and took Shelly by the hand, leading her out of the great room and down the hall to the library. He shut the doors behind them and sat on the red leather couch in the middle of the room. Patting the seat beside him, Shelly sat down and crossed her legs. He placed his hand upon her knee and looked at her.
“I am aware Miss McCloud of how you made your sales.” He laughed. “Most of my boys can’t do what you can. I am also aware you have slept with Adrian, Zander and Rex. There is nothing in this company that I don’t know about. That is why I am good at what I do.”
Shelly looked at him wide eyed. Her mouth was dry and she was floored at his candor. He nodded his head to the side and rose an eyebrow. He took a deep breath and continued.
“I don’t care how you made the sales.” He responded. “This is the best Veriton has done in years. I like that you are discrete and enjoy your job. I will tell you Miss McCloud, I will not be sleeping with you. I am happy with Gwyneth.”
“You and Gwyneth?” Shelly blurt out without thinking. “I am sorry Mr. Veriton. That just came out.”
“It is okay dear.” Colby patted her hand. “You would have found out this weekend anyway. So, here is my proposal. Gwyneth and I want to take our own trip and I was going to have Adrian take my place here while I travel. He will need a secretary.”
“And you thought I would fit the job?” Shelly was understanding what Gwyneth was saying earlier to her.
“Yes, actually I did.” Colby nodded. “As car
eful as you have been in your
Liaisons, clients talk. I don’t need a bad reputation for the company. You would be well taken care of.”
“I see.” Shelly started, “And when would I be able to go back into sales?”
“Oh, you wouldn’t dear.” Colby stated clearly, “That is part of the agreement of this proposal. The happier you make my grandson, the better you are taken care of. It has worked well for Gwyneth. After all I have taken care of her for many years.”
“And if I choose not to agree with this?” Shelly questioned.
“Oh, well see I have already spoken to your mom.” Colby smiled, “She is willing to have you back home and I will fit the bill. I am sure there is a fast food joint that can satisfy your needs.”
“I see.” Shelly felt the ground slip out from under her. “Then I will just have to make Adrian happy.”
“I thought you would see it that way.” Colby stood and took her hand to lead her back to the great room. “I would suggest you start as soon as we get back, take him to your room and just be on time for the party.”
All Shelly could do is nod as she went over to Adrian and smiled. He winked at her and made his excuses to leave the room with Shelly in tow. They made it to her room and he pushed her inside, shutting the door behind him. He was undressed by the time the made it to the bed and grabbed Shelly by her hair forcing her to her knees.
“Open your mouth and make me cum.” He grinned. “I have been waiting for a good secretary.”
Shelly placed her mouth on his hard cock and twisted her tongue around the shaft as Adrian laced his fingers in her hair. He felt her mouth take him fully as his hips moved back and forth. His breath quickened as he felt her hot mouth on his tool. He pulled her up by the wrist and grabbed her by the waist, turning her around. Pulling up her dress, her cheeks exposed, he placed the tip of his cock inside her wetness.
She gasped as his hands held her waist and moved her back and forth. He thrust inside her as she whimpered. He placed a finger inside her ass and wiggled it around as he could feel her cumming.
“I heard from Rex you like your glory hole poked.” He said as she felt his hardness move from her pussy to her ass.
She felt the head slid in and arched her back. He moved inside her with one thrust as his hands tightened around her waist. She dug her nails into the bedsheets and buried her head to muffle her screams.
“Tell me how much you like it.” He stated as he showed no mercy. “Tell me now.”
“I like it.” She gasped. “Fuck me harder.”
He did not need any encouragement, he quickened his pace and slapped her cheeks. She bucked back against him and let out a cry as he pushed her onto the bed. She could feel him cumming inside her. Standing up, he took her by the hand and they went to the shower.
“Time for round two.” He whispered in her ear.
“I have missed you Adrian.” She responded as her hands traveled down his muscular body. “Take me again and again.”
“Oh, I will have you everywhere believe me.” He smiled and kissed her fully, his tongue darting in her mouth. Breaking the kiss, he looked at her. “We have new places to explore.”
“Indeed we do.” Shelly laughed as she felt him get hard again. “Indeed we do.”
The Mail Order Bride
Western Romance
By Lady Aingealicia
Classifieds
Elizabeth was unsure what she was going to do, her world had just been torn upside down. Her parents were no longer there to support her and she had nowhere to turn except to put an ad in the paper. She dreaded the thought of marring someone she did not know, she feared the thought of living on the streets of Boston. It was no place for a woman and there was nowhere for her to go except the streets if she stayed. Choosing her words carefully, she put her ad in. The simple words of ‘Marriage for Sale, Can cook, clean and tend to children’. It was blunt and to the point. She was not looking for love, she just wanted to live.
Tragedy Strikes
Elizabeth had been out for the evening and had no idea what was going on in her home. She did not have a care in the world at the moment except to find the most eligible bachelor in the room. She was now 18 and most girls her age were already married. She had not even been looking for marriage, she did not believe in love. Her father had brought up to her, it was time she became a nun or found a husband.
She looked around the room and saw Charley talking with his friends. They had been friends since they were toddlers. She figured he was better than nothing. As she walked over to where Charley was, Sarah came in between them and took him on the floor to dance. She figured she would just talk to Charley tomorrow. She had been at the party for over 4 hours and was tired, she just wanted to go home.
She requested a cab and got her wrap to head out. Charley came up behind her and took her by the elbow. She looked up at him with her dark green eyes and smiled. He asked for his coat and escorted her to the cab. As he opened the door for her, the snow had just begun to fall. The holidays were just around the corner and Elizabeth thought it would be a very nice Christmas gift for her parents if she could tell them her and Charley were to marry in the spring.
“Charley will you be at home tomorrow?” She asked as he began to shut the door.
“Yes, I will be home after 5 Miss Elizabeth.” He answered, “Do you wish for me to call on you?”
“Yes, I would like to talk to you.” She smiled as brightly as she could under the circumstances. “I will see you tomorrow.”
He nodded his head and went back in to the party as the cab drove off. He wanted to talk to her as well. He wanted to let her know of his engagement to Sarah. He and Elizabeth had been friends for as long as he could remember. He wanted her to be the first to know.
Elizabeth saw the fire trucks racing past the cab. She had no idea what was going on. Watching out the window, she saw they were headed in the direction of her home. As the cab got closer, she saw her childhood home up in flames. Panicking, she looked around for her family. Racing out of the cab, she was stopped by a policeman who held her back. Terror ran through her veins as she looked at the inferno. There was nothing anyone could do. The house was gone.
Charley’s family took her in for the evening. She had lost everything in the fire, including her family. The doctor had given her a sedative to help her sleep. She was not sure what she was going to do now. Everything she had known was now gone. She tried to stay up for Charley and could not, the sedative worked through her system and soon she was sound asleep. When she woke the next morning Charley was gone and a man was there to see Elizabeth. Her father’s lawyer.
She sat at the kitchen table and listened to his words. He explained to her that her father had lost everything and was just about to lose the house. So there was nothing for her. She would be without means. She shook her head in disbelief that this could happen. What was she to do now?
Once Charley did come home, he found her in tears. She explained that her father had nothing, she had nothing. He listened sympathetically and told her that he knew she would be able to stay with his family until she got on her feet. It was then Elizabeth suggested marriage. Charley took a deep breath and looked at her.
“I was going to talk to you about that.” He started. “Look, Elizabeth, I was going to tell you today, Sarah and I are to marry in the spring.”
“I see.” Was all Elizabeth could say. What else could she say?
“Well you could always move out west and find you a husband.” Charley tried to make a joke.
“That is not even funny.” She hit Charley in the arm and shook her head.
“I know, I am sorry.” He responded, “It was in poor taste. Look Elizabeth, you can always work in a guest house. They would let you live there for free.”
“Work as a maid?” She spat back, “Really, work at a maid?”
“Look it is just an idea.” Charley answered. “I can ask around for you.”
“I think I would r
ather be a mail order bride and move out west.” She stated clearly. “A maid. I can’t believe you.”
As the month passed, Elizabeth thought more about what Charley had said about moving out west. She knew that she could only stay with Charley and his family until after the holidays. They had been kind enough to allow her to stay for as long as they had. She did not wish to wear out her welcome. Charley’s mother, Mae had begun to teach Elizabeth how to keep a house, how to cook simple meals. She wanted Elizabeth to be able to get a job soon.
Mae had her hands full with her large family and though Elizabeth did not understand why she just could not stay there and help Mae. She had even brought that up to Charley. He mentioned that he and Sarah would be living with his family, so Sarah would be able to help Mae with the household chores. He would slip Elizabeth money as he could. As the holidays drew closer, Elizabeth took her money and went to the papers.
