Esme was confused when her cantankerous husband came rushing in the door and the Captain followed him for the evening meal. They ate the food she prepared with a hungry gusto and in silence it was quite unnerving this strange tension that was between these two men. The Captain usually accompanied her husband out to the fields every morning which seemed strange to her with the excuse that it was for his own protection. Esme was tired that evening and excused herself just after the meal as she left the table the last thing she noticed was the two men sitting down to have a nightcap of brandy, it was a male thing that a shot of alcohol was usually drank after the meal. Her husband had once asked her if she wanted a glass and she declined as she had an aversion to alcohol.
That night the usually easy sleeping arrangements were not the same as she found the gap between her and her husband was closed as he normally slept on his side of the very large bed that was custom made for them. She actually woke up entwined into him and that even when she tried it was difficult to pry herself loose from him. It soon became aparant to her that the reason she was in this tight clinch was the fact that he was reeking of alcohol and this was totally unacceptable as he started to message her body she was surprised to find it stimulating. She pushed him away and he mumbled something and then rolled away towards his side of the bed.
The next morning just as the sun was coming through the window she was surprised to find her husband watching her as he was sitting up in the bed and he was watching her while she was asleep it was so strange as it was the first time he did that. He bent down and then he put a stray hair into the back of her ear. He bent forward and kissed her it was a great shock to be awakened with a kiss but it got more serious as he deepened the kiss a fire went straight to her belly. She was in shock and then started to struggle and kiss him back at the same time.
He was smiling as he kissed her saying sofly "Make up your mind hun do you want me or not." She was not sure what to think about this proposal of his "wanting business " what was that all about. Her aunt had taught her all about the birds and the bees as she called it.
Aunt Mary had a saying that went like this that she repeated quite often it was 'IF THE BOYS TOUCH YOU THE STORK WOULD BE ANGRY." Her aunt explained that the stork that delivered babies would not bring her any babies if she let the boys or young gentleman touch her. She had no reason not to believe her aunt as her own father told her to listen closely to her aunt. It was with this in mind that she heaved her husband away from her with a great push till her almost fell off the bed. He had a hurt look on his face as he rubbed his jaw looking very perplexed.
Eric could see he had his work cut out for him as this was not going to be an easy seduction no sirree not at all. He was just surprised how wonderful her lips tasted and like a bee to honey he wanted more of this loving. Esme jumped out of bed and as she had a flimsy nightdress on that was see-thru and he could see her whole body. His eyes were shining with a lecherous glint that made her very nervous. As she stumbled he was there to catch her and the next instant she was in a clinch of his hands and beautiful maleness a man so astetically beautiful she had never seen anyone as handsome as him. He had sweet breath and beautiful white teeth and the next instant the kiss that resulted from his lips touching hers was so breathtaking her hart nearly stopped beating but then galloped so strong that she needed to come up for air.
Very firmly she told him "Eric , please stop this right now!" He stopped and with still shinning eyes said "Ok, you win for now my sweet pea." Eric was totally enthralled by this lovely bewitching beauty infront of him and his heart was still beating fast as well as the rest of his body especially the very male part of himself that had firmed up quite a lot but he was a gentleman and when a lady said no it was no.
Eric was up and he knew he had to go for a very cold bath and the pond not far from the homestead was his destination and he got himself there in hast. When her husband left Esme was alone and her mind was in turmoil because her husband had stirred up feelings inside of her she had no idea was inside of herself. She was confused as his lips brought a beautiful fire to her lips that she touched in wonder. How could such a silly man kiss like that and did her aunt lie to her as this was something her aunt never explained to her that she would want a mans kiss the way she wanted Eric's lips on hers.
She had to do something about this problem and the only way out was to explain to her father that she had to get out of this marriage and leave this man that was distracting her. If she was plain and honest and told her father maybe he would let her marry someone else and then an idea came to her. What if she told her father that she would rather marry the Captain instead seeing as she has no distracting feelings for the Captain.
