Fallen from Grace

[Lovelickin]

the house was far grander, spotless and shining almost. They were greeted and shown to the drawing room where they waited only moments for DuBois to arrive. Clad in a brgandy dress jacket he seemed the perfect example of manhood, smiling he bowed and poured a wine for them both, taking particular care with the glasses. He guided them through to an opulent dining room - his hand momentarily touhing Nora on the back. They sat and ate, Goose, and a fruit pudding on the menu. DuBois talked of the state of the country and plans to develp his business interests in India. Finally he offered her father a sherry as they moved back to the drawing room, it took only 5 more minutes before the old man slipped easily into a slumber and DuBois turned to Nora,'come let me show you the house' he smiled

 

[HottieKatie]

"Ok, but do you think my father is ok?" she said, sitting by his side and catchiing his hand. "He doesn't usually fall asleep this way." She was worrying he was sick. "Maybe we should take him to a doctor?"

She was really wanting to see the house, as it was a huge mansion and the dinning room was so nicely decorated. But she worried about leaving her father alone. On the one hand, he could be sick, and she didn't want anything bad hapenning to him, On the other hand, what would happen when he woke up if she wasn't there? He would get so angry. Nora liked disobeying her father, as she always wanted to do what pleased her and not him, but she didn't like escaping from him, as he may be worried about her.

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois stepped forward and touched her fathers neck.

'he's sleeping soundly, it has been a long dayI gather,maybe he needs the rest. Come I'll show you the house and then we can organise your carriage to get you both home safe'

he grinned, the predatory leer flashing momentarily across his face. He held out his hand....

'come Nora - let me show you.....' the pause hung in the air......

 

[HottieKatie]

"Ok", she said slowly and not really sure about it.

But her father looked so peaceful that way that she wouldn't bother waking him up. It was tue that it had been a busy day, and he for sure would enjoy a little rest.

"Show me your house then..." she said getting up. "I'm really looking forward to see this place, as it is really nicely decorated and so big...", she said following her host into the slight darkness of the corridor

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois took a small lantern from the dresser and opened the shutter, the little light flicckered on the walls as they walked.

'I bought it all as one - the decoration, the furniture. Not one thing here was mine. I loved it as it was' he smiled 'but there were two rooms that made the sale. The master bedroom - with views over the estate and the stables was one - the other, well shall we?'

he walked, his hand offered to Nora towards a door at the back of the house. He paused at the door then opened it and stepped through to a large conservatory, in the floor was an actual pool, deep and long filled with crystal clear water that had been heated by the days sunshine. The room was lit by thousands of candles set around the walls, giving a flickring light

DuBois smiled, put down the lantern and began to take off his shoes....

 

[HottieKatie]

So he had his own pool. Nora loved swimming in the water. The sad thing was that they didn't have a pool and her father didn't let her go to bathing places, as it was not meant for ladies.

"So bad I din't take my bathing suit", Nora said as she couldn't keep her eyes off the water that was filled with sparklings from the candles and moon.

"This place is so wonderful, I love water so much.", she said as she turned back to her host, who had already taken off his shoes and shirt.

Nora was mesmerized at the sight of his bare chest. He looked so strong and protective...

"Oh, sorry", she said turning her eyes again towards the water and blushing a little from the sight. She had never seen a naked man and was sure she wasn't supposed to see it either.

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois slipped into the water, letting the water splash near Nora

'this always feels so good! He enthused 'the warmth on the skin. So where do you swim Nora? He purred

the reflected light from the water sending hints of his shadow dancing onto the wall before her

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois watched Nora from the pool - sensing her unease at the situation but also sensing she wanted to let go and join him. He playfully splashed water onto the tiles near her fet and then with his body against the wall of the pool tugged at the hem of her dress.

'its feels wonderful' he whispered

 

[HottieKatie]

"I can't swim much, in fact,", she said, trying to get her sight away from him, "because we have nowhere to swim at home nd my father doesn't let me go away much often. I used to visit a cousin of mine when I was younger that lived near the beach, but I haven't gone there lately. My father thinks it was not proper".

His wet body made her recall an experience in her childhood. When she was visiting that same cousins when playing hide-and-seek she saw something she shouldn't have. At first she didn't know what she was looking at hiding in the curtains. She thought her uncle and one of the maidens were playing, as they were laughing and having some good time. But she thought it was strange because they were mostly naked, although it was winter and it was quite cold. Only some years after she relized what she had seen and when she told her father, he wouldn't let her go there anymore and he told her she shouldn't talk nor think about it, as it was not propoer for a lady. But she couldn't understand what was wrong, as they seemed to be having a good time.

Since then, she had always had questions about it, but nobody would answer it. Even her sister, qho like to teach her so many things, said that the only thing she should know is people shouldn't be naked until they were married.

That is why she knew it was not right to be there with Mr DuBois.

"I think I should go now if you want to swim like that...", she said turning to the door.

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois started...

'wait one moment Nora' an air of regret in his voice 'I did not intend to offend - merely to impress you. The circles I have moved in are more liberal than those from this little town.'

he left the poool and dried himself quickly - dressing only in his breeches and a wet shirt he moved to her taking her arm and pullin her to face him.

'I would ask for your permission to request your hand when your father and I meet again. In the meantime please come use the pool - I am out of town from tomorrow - and it would be such a shame if you couldn't feel its warmth.'

his eyes were almost pleading with her....

 

[HottieKatie]

"Oh, it would be wonderful if I could use your pool." They were so close together she could feel the warmth of his body. His wet shirt was making her clothes wet a bit too. She couldn't resist to touch his chest and was surprised to feel its toughness

"And how long will you be out of town?", she kept staring at his eyes, which were calling for hers. So bad I can't see him naked until we are married, I would really enjoying seeing his muscles. Last summer she had escaped her nanan's view sometimes and hid to watch their horseman ride their horses barechested. She enjoyed it so much, and she couldn't understand why it was so bad.

"I'll ask my father and hopefully he'll let me come. I'd love being able to swim again."

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois smiled

'a few days only, shorter I suspet as I will miss your smile.'

he leaned in to kiss her, his hands upon her arms

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois paused as his lips closed on Nora - sensing unease from her he gently pulled away

'too soon?' he whispered 'I apologise' I'll have your carriage made ready.' he moved gently back his eyes locked n hers

'Miss - I would have your thoughts? Please?'

 

[HottieKatie]

When he kissed her, Nora felt quite strange. A sudden warmth filled her body from lips to toes. It was like a sudden fever and it made her feel good but also strange. Dubois sensed it and pulled away.

"No, sir, it... it is ok. It is just I wasn't expecting it...", she stayed closer to him, torn between a desire for him to kiss her again and a sense of going back to his father. Something inside her told her she shouldn't be there, she shouldn't let an stranger kiss her or touch her. But deep inside she wanted everything to happen. His lips were so sweet and warm, she wanted to feel them again.

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois knew the effect his kiss would have, he knew she was torn now and he knew she would return to his house soon....

'lets organise your carriage' he whispered 'maybe you should get your father home before I o something we may regret....'

he let the words hang as he looked into her eyes.....

 

[HottieKatie]

"Yes, probably I should...", but she couldn't move, she was completely dazzled by him. "... although I don't think he won't mind waiting a little", she continued almost whispering.

She felt strange saying that last words but something inside her told her to stay. It was like that inner force that made her sneak around the stables, caress her skin when she was alone, read the prohibited books in her father's library...

Her left hand was still on his chest. She was feeling him breath harder and his heart was beating stronger. She relized hers was also quicker.

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois smiled and looked at Noras hand, he reached up andplaced his own hand at her hip.

'it feels good to touch another person doesn't it?' he smiled

then he gently pulled Nora closer, his eyes locked on hers. His other hand now at her side - stroking her through her dress.

'so many clothes....' he whispered

 

[HottieKatie]

"It feels good indeed, it makes one feel part of something...", she said, as she put her other hand on his waist. Now she was feeling like an electric current flowing thru her body. It was a warm feeling that filled her body.

"I'm suposed to be wearing all these clothes. I do think there is no need for corset and underskirts... simple dressed might as well do, but you have to follow dress codes...", she continued, her eyes stuck on his.

 

[Lovelickin]

'dress codes are for fools' he smiled, ' I only dress for company, the establishment only wishes to hide the beautiful and make the ugly conform'

his hands moved higher up her body, his thumbs now a hairs breath from the underside of her breasts.

'I often send the servants home on a summer day and walk the house in as little as possible' he smiled 'but don't tell anybody that - it's our secret' he winked

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois paused, he gently squeezed Nora, and smiled at her. 'listen,your father seemed to be sleeping soundly, I have spare rooms here,you can both stay the night. I will ensure that I am the very soul f discretion and you will not see me once we have said our goodnight. You may use the pool - I promise I shall be in my chambers '

he looked seriously at Nora waiting for her response and letting his grip reassure her

 

[HottieKatie]

"Oh, that would be perfect. I'm missing so much having myself into water.", she said.

"I'm sure my father wouldn't mind staying here, as you said, he is sound asleep.", she saind thinking about it. "But maybe you could sent a messanger to our mansion so my mother doesn't worry about us. I'm sure she must be sleeping by now, but in the event of her waking up in the middle of the night, she could now we are safe in here".

 

[Lovelickin]

DuBois smiled 'consider it done my sweet'

he leaned in close and kissed Nora again 'I should leave you here - feel free to enjoy the water' he left closingthe door behind him and moved qickly into he hall. Huridly he went to the secret room, entered and settled himself to watch the pool room
