Anna watched as David looked about at her family and said, “My apologies for barging in like this, but I must speak with my wife.” He held his hand out for her, and Anna took it. She did not know of what else to do. She was speechless that he was there. They walked in silence to the parlor. Anna sat upon the couch and waited for David to speak. She was terrified at the look in his eyes. This was not the same man whom she’d left at the estate.
Chapter Seven
“Anna, you left,” David said.
“I know, I…”
David held up his hand and continued on. “You left, and I let you. And I have come to tell you that if you want to leave me, then I will grant you your wish.”
“You are willing to let me go?” Her eyes filled with tears.
“No, I am willing to let your happiness come before that of mine. I have had much time to think over the weeks, and I have realized that your happiness matters to me more than I ever thought it could. So if being away from me will make you happy, then I will let you. It will be bloody hell for me, but I will not make you miserable anymore, Anna.”
“You care more about my happiness, but why, David? You have been so cold and distant. And what reasoning do you have for not following me here immediately?”
“I know I have been, and I will be punished for the rest of my days for making you feel thus. I was afraid for what you were making me feel. My father was not a good man, Anna. He was a philanderer and a drunk. My parent’s marriage gave me a skewed idea of love and marriage. Every holiday he was away with another mistress. I hated him, and my mother became cold and distant. The very idea of love terrified me. You were not supposed to enter my heart, and when you did I was scared witless. I backed away, and you suffered. I am so sorry, love. As for your other question, why it took me so long to seek you out? I thought you were trying to control me, as my father controlled my mother. However, thank the stars, my mother set me straight and made me see my true feelings for you.”
Anna’s eyes never left his as she said, “What are you trying to say, Your Grace?”
David took a slow steadying breath and said, “I love you. I have loved from the first moment I saw you skating on the pond. I love you to distraction, and my marrying you was not due to an obscured contract. It was you, only you.”
Anna began to cry, and David knelt near her and said, “If you can give me another chance, darling, I shall prove to you that I love you. Every day, for the rest of our lives together. However, if you do not love me, I have enough in me to let you go. I only care for your happiness.”
He felt Anna shake in his embrace, and then she replied, “I never stopped loving you, darling. I will always love you. I want our marriage.”
David gasped in pleasure as he held her more tightly to his heart. “I promise you, my darling, it will be different.”
“It will be in about six months’ time. I am expecting your heir, Your Grace,” Anna whispered.
“Truly, you are pregnant?” David was told she might be, but he wanted confirmation from his wife.
“Yes, I am quite sure.” She smiled.
“Around this time next year, we will be celebrating a New Year with a new life. I thank God everyday your father and my father made that dicker. I am sorry I waited so long to come for you,” David stated with tears in his eyes.
“You and I are here now. Let’s not dwell upon the past and just concentrate on our future.”
“Indeed, my darling, indeed.”
The happy couple kissed and felt as if new vows were being made to one another. A short time later when they sought their bed for sleep, David pulled a piece of paper from his waistcoat pocket.
“I stopped at a solicitor’s office to have a new contract drawn up for you to sign.”
Anna sat heavily upon the bed with a look of dismay upon her face. “David…”
“Read the paper, my darling,” he insisted.
As Anna read the paper, tears began to form in her eyes, “It states that we are to share the celebration of New Year’s every year together as a family for eternity.”
“The man who drew up this paper said I was a besotted fool and that my wife must be some kind of lady to leg-shackle myself to one woman. I told him that if he knew you, he would draw up the same contract. Our relationship began with a contract, and I thought, why not another?”
“A new New Year’s Eve dicker. I love it, darling.” Anna walked to the desk and signed the paper along with her husband. It was a new contract for a fresh marriage.
David began to kiss his wife deeply. He groaned and pulled away. “Anna, will we hurt the babe if we make love?”
“No, of course not. I want to make love to you, husband.” She laughed.
David undressed his duchess and noticed the slight bump to her belly. He placed his knees to the floor and reverently kissed the bump. Anna sighed, and a tear escaped her eye.
“You will know the love of your parents and understand what it means to be a family,” the duke swore to his unborn child.
David’s kisses went from her tummy to her welcoming cunt. Anna moaned. He lifted her leg over his shoulder and worshiped her clitoris with his tongue and teeth. Her body swayed. And David was able to just keep her upright. His tongue darted in and out of her pussy and pulled forth a honeyed-tasting cum that finally satisfied his appetite. When he was done licking her, he wanted to be inside of her.
He then stood and took her to the bed where he continued to kiss her into an orgasm. Her twat wept into his mouth, and he suckled her into relaxation. He subsequently placed his finger inside her slit and brought her to another orgasm.
She was sweating and pleading with him to make full love to her. “I want to watch you come for me again, Anna. I love to see you reach your pinnacle under my mouth and fingers. Come for me once more, sweeting.”
And Anna did, while she was shaking. He brought his prick to her weeping pussy and inserted his cock into her warm, wet slit. She felt like heaven, and David could not hold back his need to pump into her at a quick pace. Anna moaned against his mouth as he felt her body, once again, begin to tremor under his.
He felt her cunt clamp greedily against his cock. He gave a curse of satisfaction as he felt her orgasm. He held his at bay for as long as he could. However, her pleasured face and glistening body brought his forth. It was fierce and profound. Making love to someone you loved was much different than coupling with a woman for sexual gratification. He felt the difference and knew he would always love Anna. She was his soul mate in his heart and now in name. This woman, his wife, meant everything to him.
He held her close and whispered words of love to her. He had never been as happy as he was at this moment. He finally found a family with Anna. His babe would be here soon, and Anna and he could spend the rest of their lives together as a family.
“I love you, David,” she said simply.
“I love you, Anna. I always have, and I unfailingly will. I promise that I will never hurt you again.”
“I trust you, David.”
And with their new vows spoken, they fell into an exhausted sleep.
* * * *
Early into the next morning, Anna awoke to her husband’s stiff cock against her backside. She delighted in the knowledge that her husband loved her and desired her. She shifted her backside against his growing prick and felt a smile tug at the sides of her lips when his hand wrapped around her right breast and began to knead. He moaned as she grasped him in the palm of her hand and began to stroke.
“Anna, Anna,” he whispered.
A secret smile spread across her lips when she ducked under the covers and took his cock into her mouth. He was incredibly large, so large that she could only take a little of him into her mouth. She began to pump her fist against his base as her lips worked his head. His fingers tightened into her hair as she felt his legs stiffen.
“Anna, stop, love, I cannot wait much longer…”
“David, let me love you with my mouth as
you have loved me with yours,” she pleaded.
A shadow crossed over his face as he relaxed and let her suckle him into an orgasm that left his cum in her mouth and all over her face.
David took a moment to recover and placed her back onto the bed. He moved over her with deliberate slowness, dragging his coarse chest hairs against her highly sensitive breasts. She gasped with pleasure and then moaned in lust, when his kisses ran from her chest to her hips.
He was driving her mad with lust. She was desperate to come. His skill was poetic. Her head writhed back and forth upon her pillow. She moaned and groaned, reaching for the stars. Before she could catch a breath, she came upon his tongue in a violent rush that sent her head spinning.
She smiled down to him as he moved up to kiss her warm lips, letting her taste her own passion. He bundled her up against his chest and hugged her to his beating heart.
She had her heart’s desire within her arms and within her womb. It would seem his father’s folly became his reward.
* * * *
She was beautiful in her release. How could he have ever thought to deny this woman his love? He was a fool for far too long. What he had been missing in her arms was the warmth of her love and the fire in her spirit. If he could go back, he would have come for her at her majority and kept her in his safekeeping for all time. He cursed himself a fool and then counted his blessings. If it were not for his father, he would never have met his heart’s desire, Anna. It would seem his father had done his life some good before he perished. Anna would be married to another, possibly a mother, and that thought alone arrested him. He was indeed lucky that he found her before the New Year.
He held her closer to his heart and felt her breathing slow and her murmuring of sleep begin. He smiled and thanked the grand destiny and deity that granted him the most important boon of his existence, his darling wife.
He had found love, and he would never let her go. The holidays would no longer remind him of despair, but of new beginnings.
Epilogue
The Duke of Kingsberry Estate, over one year later
Anna was sitting in her office when a knock came to her door. She rose in curiosity. Anna had just fed baby David, and he was supposed to be sound asleep. They had talked about hiring a wet nurse, but Anna wanted to feed him on her own. It was a bonding that she wanted with her children.
As she left her letters, she opened the door to find no one behind it. She turned to go back into the office when she saw a missive on the floor.
It said, “Follow your heart and come forth to find me.”
Curious.
David wanted to play a game? She knew it was her birth date, but they had already celebrated the other evening with friends and family.
Anna smiled and went to grab her cloak. She knew where her husband was. He was at the pond near their home. Anna walked in the chilly early evening air and saw her husband cutting across the ice. He stopped when he saw her approach. He smiled and came to her side. “I see you received my note.”
“I did indeed. What is this about?” she asked with a tilt to her head.
“We have a special day for our wedding anniversary, and a unique day for your birthday, but I also wanted to celebrate the piece of paper that brought us together to start with. I am eternally grateful to that dicker, and not a day goes by that I don’t relish our marriage. So I decided to bring you to a similar place to where we first met and fell in love.”
He fell upon his knees and helped her place her skates upon her boots. He then held his hand out to her, and she accepted. They cut across the frozen ice until they were laughing in hysterics over their happiness.
“Oh, David, that was wonderful. Thank you, darling.”
“Thank you, my love, for teaching me what a family means and what real love is.”
They embraced in a tender and sweet hug that brought tears to her eyes. “David. I have something to tell you, darling.”
David must have seen the amount of emotions in her eyes, for he whispered, “What is it my, sweet?”
She leaned in slowly and whispered into his ear, “We have another reason to celebrate the New Year. I am expecting another baby.”
David’s eyes widened at her pronouncement. “Truly, so soon after baby David? Why did you not tell me before? You should not be out on the ice in your condition. Rest is what you need, and we will hire more help.”
He picked her up into his arms, and she sighed into his neck. She was thrilled that the magic of New Year’s seemed to continue for her and her husband. Their family was expanding, and she finally received what she wanted all along, a family to call her own, a family with a duke who loved her and loved their children, for there was to be many more in the near future. A dicker between two fathers brought a new life for her, and she could not be more pleased.
As she was carried to their joined room, she felt and smelled the joys of Christmas still within their home. Her husband knew she loved the holiday and let her keep her decorations up far longer than what was conventional.
Once they were in their room, David began to undress her. She gasped as the cool winter air caressed her skin, much like a lover’s hand.
She saw the savage look within her husband’s eyes and felt a carnal need to express her undying love to him in the most basic way. She stopped his hand’s movements and began to untie his cravat with her teeth. He shuddered at her whispered breath across his neck. He shuddered under her hands, but wisely kept his curled fists at his side.
Anna reveled in her ability to bring her husband to madness. She became quite skilled in the art of lovemaking. She knew what her husband liked. She knew his sensitive spots. She used her tongue behind his ear and heard him growl. She smiled to him and dropped down to the cold floor with every intention of servicing his cock.
She licked her lips and pulled his breeches to where his boots started. His prick bobbed just above her head as she grasped his long cock and licked the pearly liquid forming on the tip. She felt his hands go into her hair and pull tightly.
Anna held her arms behind her back and slowly licked his cock, coating his skin with her slick saliva. She took as much of him as she could, but his cock was too large for her to wrap her lips around. So she placed her palm on him and began to pump him in time with her licking and suckling.
“Ah. Sweeting, if you are not careful I will come within your mouth,” he said gasping.
She stopped licking him to say, “Come in my mouth, husband.”
Picking up her cue, he pumped into her mouth harder and faster, and soon she was rewarded with his sweet-tasting cum.
“My turn,” he stated with intent.
He grasped her and moved her swiftly to their bed. He made sure her rump was positioned near the edge. He did not bother removing her clothing, for he flipped the material away from her pussy and set his lips to her.
Anna screamed with pleasure as he licked her into a dizzying frenzy. She moaned and groaned his name. She begged him to desist. She also begged him to continue. He was a magnificent lover who seemed to get better with every coupling.
“David. Oh, David,” she murmured.
“Come for me.” He growled against her pussy.
And she did. Explosively. She ground her cunt against his stubbled face and found exquisite release.
Sitting up to look at her husband, she saw his cock stand powerfully up. She wanted him inside of her cunt. So she pushed him to the floor, shifted her skirts, mounted his cock, and began to ride him like she would a stallion.
He was sweating and cursing and planting his hands at her hips to try and control her movements. She rocked back and forth on top of her husband and reveled in his curses. She loved the knowledge that she was his first and last desire.
“Anna, sweet. Please…” David begged.
She saw the emotion behind his eyes and snapped her hips and let his hands guide her. He found her clitoris and pumped his hip bone against the sensitive spot. Anna jerked her hips in r
esponse.
They both shared a shattering orgasm together, and then she fell across his laboring chest to catch her breath.
“Happy holidays, my darling,” he whispered against her ear.
She smiled and replied, “Now it is, my love. Now it is.”
