“Dammit, another clueless virgin!” He guided her hand up and down, “Rub it like this, that’s a good girl.”
Doing as she was told, Jane rubbed him, all the time wondering how on earth they were going to manage this. She was his wife now, she was his to do with as he pleased, which meant she had to please him. If not, she’d end up following in the footsteps of his third wife.
The texture of his cock changed in her grip, becoming firmer.
“Good girl,” he said, “That’s the spirit, Yes.”
He moved further onto her and she had to shift the angle of her hand to keep going.
“I’ll take it from here,” he commanded. “Move your leg out more.”
She did so, hoping this would not take long.
He pressed his full weight down on her and shifted over her body. His hand knocked against her sex as he tugged at himself. Was he still wearing his rings? Her seat would be bashed blue if he kept going. Mama had said it would hurt, perhaps this was what she’d meant?
With a noisy grunt, he pushed himself again, knocking the wind out of her lungs. He grunted again, then suddenly stopped.
His hand was still wrapped around himself, his body slumped.
Jane’s breath returned at last.
“My Lord, have… have I done my duty?” He did not reply. “My Lord?”
Still no reply. On seeing his eyes were shut, Jane assumed he’d fallen asleep. This is what her mother had told her would happen. It wasn’t exactly as she’d described, but perhaps each man was different?
Keeping quiet, she eased herself out from under him. His hand was still gripped around himself and his eyes were shut tight. His face looked crumpled and cross, as if he’d rather be doing anything else.
“You and me both,” she thought as she slipped out of the bed.
The bashing he’d done against her seat made walking a little sore, but she breathed a sigh of relief. She had done her wifely duty and could now rest easily in the Baroness’ rooms.
As she tiptoed towards her own bed, Mama was in the room, sitting by the fire.
“How did you fare, my dear?”
“I did my duty,” she said, with a grimace, “You were right, it did hurt a little, but it was soon over.”
“My darling girl,” Mama held her closely. “You are a woman now. God willing you will be with child. You must go to him whenever he needs, as that is your priority now as Baroness Ealing.
“Yes Mama.” Jane said.
Mama bade her farewell and Jane climbed into her own bed, wondering what all the fuss was about. She’d heard rumours about the act, obviously, but could not understand how people enjoyed it so much when it seemed to be such a strange, unpleasant thing.
No point wondering any more. This was her life now. It wasn’t so bad. And if things went well, she would soon be with child. Please God let it be a boy, and then she wouldn’t need to have too many of them.
Chapter Two
The next morning, Abigail woke Jane with a cup of tea and some toast. Jane ate and sipped and felt herself fully rested after a truly comfortable night’s sleep. Yes, her husband might be a doddery old man, but he had not shown her any cruelty last night and he provided her with comfort beyond compare. She must thank him for his consideration.
Abigail dressed her and fixed her hair, then Jane made her way to her husband’s rooms. Hard rain splattered against the windows. The staff were busy replacing the candles to maintain the light. What a miserable summer they were having! If the sun had been out, she was going to suggest that she and her husband have a picnic, but that was out of the question now. Perhaps things would improve tomorrow?
As she neared the door to the Baron’s rooms, she spotted the footman approaching with his master’s breakfast tea and toast. He held the tray in one hand and opened the door for her, with a curt, “Good morning, Lady Ealing.”
“Mister Footman,” she replied.
She didn’t have to, but if she didn’t get the staff on her side, she’d be in for a lonely old time of it, especially as Mama would be going home in two more days.
She waited for the footman to put the tray down, then open the blinds. Grey watery light shifted some of the gloom, even though this was on the south side of the estate, and would be redolent with all-day sun.
