The Bride Absconded (closed for cumnchat)

[Opensesame54321]

As she held it, she could feel its warmth, the thing fairly throbbing in her hands.

Can oi kiss it James? Oi'll let you kiss me down there as well, fair's fair tha' knows.

James seemed to gulp before he spoke.

“Sure, ifn yew loike. Oi wood be ‘onored fer yew ta do so.”

She paused, wondering just how to go about doing this. If she bent over to kiss it the whole thing would be awkward. And she had heard some of the other maids complain about how their knees were sore from having been on them the night before. That just seemed common. And somehow she could not imagine Her Ladyship doing something like that. She was a lady.

Well, Bea was a lady too. Oh, maybe not as high up the social ladder as her Ladyship, but a lady nevertheless. So it would not be knees.

She took his hand and slowly led him over to her bed. James had to follow shuffling along as he walked as his pants were bunched around his ankles. The whole thing was a bit awkward but the move was accomplished with no mishaps and once there she arranged him so that he was beside the bed.

“Now, Oi‘ll sit on tha bed loik a lady, but don’t yew go getti’ ideas, James.” Her voice was softly emphatic as she didn’t want anyone else hearing her and James. “Oi’m savin’ meself for marriage, understand?”

James smiled at her and nodded in agreement. “That’s as it should be, Bea.”

Now that the thing was at eye level, she could really get a good look at it. It stood almost straight up and out from the curly thicket of black hair that grew at the junction where it met the rest of his body.

The sleeve that sometimes covered it had slid back a ways and revealed it to be somewhat larger than she had thought.

“It’s boo’iful, James. Kinda majestic, loik sumfing that a King would ‘ave.”

“Really? Yew fink so?”

“Oh yes, Oi do.”

She smiled at him before leaning in oh so carefully. Her lips were almost like a feather on the tip of his Willy. There was a little bit of moisture that leaked out of that slit at the very end of it and she pulled back and looked up at him.

“Ar’ yew ‘bout ta pee on me, James?”

“Oh no, Bea. That’s not piss. It’s just me body showin’ yew that it finds yew boo’iful and yew excite it,” he assured her and she realized that it was like how her panties were wet but she hadn’t peed.

Nodding her understanding, she leaned in and kissed the tip again, the stuff getting all over her lips. Licking her lips, she looked up surprised.

“It actually don’t taste too bad. A bit salty ...” she smiled “...but nice.”

 

[cumnchat]

Roger lay naked with Clarissa cradled in his arms, the fingers of one hand gently squeezing one swollen nipple the other rubbing her swelling belly bump,

"Clarissa my love, I would not wish James to be frustrated tonight nor would I wish for him to throw caution to the winds, perhaps you can tell me has anyone explained to Bea how Mother Nature works, the Birds and the Bees?"

He cast an enquiring eye at her.

******************************

At about the same time Bea was tasting James' salty cream,

He stood stock still his mouth open as Bea held his manhood in her dainty little hand, barely able to fully encircle the girth, her little pink tongue licking at his sensitive cock head. She looked up at him smiling and licking her lips,

'It actually don’t taste too bad. A bit salty ......but nice'

James smiled back at her and asked,

"when yewz has a lollipop do you just lick it or do yew suck it as well? I wud loike it if yew sucked me down thar, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, only if yew want to tho'."

He placed his hands on her shoulders and drew her face closer to him while his cock twitched with expectancy. Bea looked uncertain but something in James' voice decided her.

"Roight James oi'll do it but if oi don't loike it yew'll 'ave t'go."

"That's fair 'nuff Bea, oi don't want yew thinking oi'm mekking yew do it tho'."

"Yew ain't mekking me do anyfing oi don' wanna do. but is it it going to spit at me loike last toime?"

James blushed the memory of his unintended spurt on Bea's hand still fresh in his memory,

"Oi dunno Bea, mebbe oi will, oi dunno."

"Well if yew do it'll ruin me new dress so oi 'ad better take it orf."

She sat back and slipped her arms out of the dress and stood to let it drop to her feet then she picked it up and put it out of the way. James watched all this with a surprised but delighted look on his face as Bea sat down again in just her underclothes, he could see that she was excited at the prospect, her nipples hard and pronounced against her underclothes. He crossed his arms and lifted his shirt over his head and stood there naked but for his trousers round his ankles and his boots. Bea giggled and said,

"Yew do look silly James, a bit loike Atlas in boots. I'll suck on yer loike oi sed then yew 'ave t'tek yer boots off."

"Whatever yew say Bea, if yew wanna stop yew just say so, oi ain't gonna ask yer t'do owt yer don't wanna do."

Bea's lips on his cock head were so warm and soft and Bea slid her lips over his shaft her tongue swirling around as if knowing just what to do.

James stood still in shock and ecstasy as Bea sucked his thick shaft.

 

[Opensesame54321]

Clarissa my love, I would not wish James to be frustrated tonight nor would I wish for him to throw caution to the winds, perhaps you can tell me has anyone explained to Bea how Mother Nature works, the Birds and the Bees?

Clarissa cuddled in his arms as Roger gently stroked her body, giving a little laugh.

“Trust me, Bea and I had a quite lengthy discussion about sex and where babies come from. Seems that she is very adamant as to saving herself for her wedding night ‘loike a really Lady’ so hopefully James will not be too disappointed if he doesn't get to lay with her. Bea is very strong-willed.”

Roger’s hand was comforting on her belly. Suddenly, she started, surprised.

“Oh!”

Roger was worried, asking her what was wrong.

“The baby...”. The words were barely out of her mouth before Roger seemed to be panicking and wanting to call the doctor. Clarissa finally she got him calmed down.

“No, Love. Give me your hand. The baby just kicked.”

She took Roger’s hand and placed it where she had felt the baby kick. There was nothing for a minute and Roger seemed wary of what she might have felt. Suddenly, there it was-that little thump from the inside against his hand. Before long the two of them were laughing at the energetic kicking coming from the new life growing inside her.

*****

James had grown quiet as she licked it and sucked it like some fancy sweetie, even if the thing was more salty than sweet. And it seemed that the more that she did so, the fatter that the thing grew.

She paused and eyed it before looking up at James.

“‘ow much bigger do it get, James? Cause my jaw can only stretch so far.”

 

[cumnchat]

'‘ow much bigger do it get, James? Cause my jaw can only stretch so far.'

James didn't know what to say , he could hardly say he didn't know 'cos she was the first girl ever to take as much of him in their mouth. He thought for a brief moment then with a confidence he didn't feel he blurted out,

"Oi dunno Bea, you're so good, oi ain't never bin this far afore, yew just keep going, Oi fink it'll go dahn soon."

Bea nodded her head wisely and lowered her head to resume where she had left off, she found all this rather thrilling, she knew it was naughty but she reasoned that she had been a good girl all her life and she was really enjoying herself and James was behaving himself, not forcing her to do anything she didn't want to do. She loved the feel of it throbbing in her hand and between her lips, soft and silky on the outside but so hard inside, she was glad she didn't have to bite it, just suck it.

Suddenly the throbbing changed to a series of short pulses and it jumped inside her mouth and she felt her mouth filled with a glutinous sticky substance that tasted a bit salty. She lifted her eyes up to James who stood stiffly with his head back and hs eyes closed.

Bea tried to speak but her mouth was full of this salty cloying stuff and there was nowhere to spit it out and so she swallowed it, finding it surprisingly pleasant, completely different to anything else she had ever tasted.

She looked down and some had dribbled from her mouth and was dripping onto her chest and threatening to slide between her breasts.

"James," she said quietly, "Oi dunno what just 'appened but oi fink it's gonna mek a bit of a mess on me shift so is it alright wiv yew if Oi tek it orf, while oi'm tekkin it orf yew c'n tek yer boots an' breeches orf, nuffink 'll get messed up then."

James nodded eagerly, he wanted to see Bea's pert little breasts again, well they weren't exactly little but they weren't huge like cook's.

"Yeah course it's alroight wiv me, don't fer'git oi'm gonna kiss yew down there later when yew've finished so it'll mek it easier."

The two innocents were soon naked and Mother Nature was was playing her usual tricks with their bodies and emotions.

 

[Opensesame54321]

She sat there looking at James, his body all strong and manly from having worked hard handling the horses and from lifting the bales of hay. He stood there naked and with his thing still kind of bobbing in front of her. It occurred to her that she should probably call it something other than “his thing”, but just what?

She couldn’t believe that she; Beatrice, Bea, plain Bea; and here she was totally naked with this handsome man and he was naked too. And she had kissed his thing! She had even popped it in her mouth and swallowed some of his seed.

Meanwhile, her body was a confusion of emotions. Her nipples were brown and puckered, partially from the slight chill in the room and partially from a shy embarrassment at being naked in front of James, and partially from being excited.

There was a flutter in her tummy like butterflies. And between her legs? It was strangely moist and she felt an urging for more.

Yet, her mama had been most adamant as she had raised her daughter. A lady did not have sex with a man before marriage. It had been drilled into her head. A man may have urges and there were ways of satisfying those urges without her losing her maidenhood before her wedding night. However, mama had never told her just what those ways were. She suspected that these were some of those ways.

Still, her insides were turning to mush just being here naked with him. And he had reminded her that he still owed her her turn, with him kissing her womanhood. She wondered if this would sort of make them dating, or boyfriend and girlfriend, or what. After all, she didn’t think that she was someone with loose conduct so that she would do something like this with just any man. With James, she felt special. James was special.

There! She had finally admitted it. James was special to her. He meant something to her. He was nice and kind and sweet and always treated her like a lady. Like she was special to him. Love was a strong word for her. She realized that what she had felt for the Master before had been a schoolgirl crush, or a sort of sexual awakening in her. But that was gone. James was here and now. He was a fine man and in him would be a man that she could depend upon. For James, she thought that perhaps she felt love for him.

Looking at him with new eyes, she smiled.

 

[cumnchat]

James stole a look at Bea sat on the bed naked and tried to make out he wasn't staring but she looked so beautiful with some of his ejaculation on her face and dripping off her chin onto her chest and sliding slowly between her pert firm breasts. Her nipples looked swollen, definitely larger than when he had first seen them. He had to fight the urge to reach down and take one little swollen bud between his fingers but Bea hadn't said he could touch her breasts and he didn't want to do anything to upset her and spoil the night so he just returned her shy smile, she still held him in her tiny hand and gently stroking it.

"Can oi do it t'yew now Bea? Loike yew said, fair's fair."

Bea hesitated for a few seconds she had butterflies fluttering in her stomach and she felt strange down there where he wanted to kiss her but she had already said he could and she wasn't the sort of girl who broke her word. Gathering her courage she whispered very shyly,

"If yew really want to James, but it'll be new t'me 'n oi don't know what t'expect."

"Well it'll be new t'me too, oi'm 'opin' that it'll be noice fer us both."

He helped Bea to get fully on the bed and lay down, she was trembling with nerves and James thought about stopping but he had promised Bea so he had to go through with it,

"Wud yew loike me t'kiss yew properly first and let yew get used t'me 'and down there.?"

"That'd be noice James, yes, if yew wud kiss me first."

Bea lay back trying to relax as James lay down beside her and gently kissed her, pressing his tongue between her cherry red lips, without thinking Bea opened her mouth and let her tongue wrestle with James's. She half rolled towards him and one of her breasts dropped into his hand and she felt his thumb brush over her taut hard nipple,

"OHHHHHH James," Her voice was muffled but excited.

His hand left her breast and nipple and stroked its way over her belly to her tight blonde curls at the juncture of her legs. Without being asked Bea opened her legs and she felt the cool air on her hot wet privates. James's fingers slipped down further, in his ignorance he bypassed her sensitive love button but stroked along her wet slippery slit, Bea bucked a little at the first touch but James's lips made her think of other things, he was kissing slowly down her body, kissing and licking and sucking, soon he was at her tight golden curls and more by accident than design his lips landed on Bea's little pearl and she arched her back as he sucked it into his mouth.

"OOOHHHHHH James, what are yew doin' t'me ?"

As Bea's back arched James's finger slipped into her wet, pink slippery entrance and Bea felt herself riding on the crest of a wave. She closed her eyes wishing the moment would never end, but it did and the next thing Bea knew James was asking her,

"Are yew alright Bea? Oi didn't 'urt yew did oi?"

Bea smiled back at him,

"No James yew didn't 'urt me, it were wunnerful."

 

[Opensesame54321]

Bea didn’t want James to stop. In fact, she wanted everything to continue forever. But it was getting late and she could hear the other girls coming back to their rooms, saying long goodnights at their various doors.

She looked at James so patiently waiting and watching her. His smile was not coy nor was it lecherous, but rather sweet and loving. At least, it looked that way to her.

She waited until she heard several of the girls chatting about the dance and enjoyable time that they had with the music and good food. Keeping her voice low so that only James could hear her, she looked up at him and smiled as she whispered softly.

“Doies this mean that we are boyfrien’ an’ girlfrien’?”

James nodded. “Oi ‘ope that yew don’t fink that Oi dew this all tha time. Yer me special girl and Oi’m yer special boy. An’ we kin ‘old ‘ands under tha table at mealtime. An’ mebe kiss each other.”

And with that, he gathered up courage and kissed Bea on the lips. She leaned in to him, their nude bodies against each other. Quite without trying, James stiff cock slipped between Bea’s legs, resting so that her hot, wet slit was along the top side of his cock.

The feeling was incredible for James and his eyes popped open as he kissed Bea. Her eyes popped open at the same time and the kiss broke, with James pulling back and breaking contact between them. He quickly stood beside the bed, whispering his apologies to Bea.

“Oi’m so sory, Bea. Oi didn’t dew it on purpose.”

Bea was quiet for a minute, thinking. She could see that it was an accident, and gave a curt nod before whispering.

“We must be careful nevertheless.”

James nodded and blushed, which was quite unlike him.

“Oi shud prob’ly leave.” Bea nodded and they both quickly dressed, with Bea wiping away all traces of James’ seed from her body. Once dressed, James took her in his arms and kissed her again.

“Yer me special girl, Bea.”

James slipped quietly out, leaving a very happy Bea.


*****


The Servants Ball seemed to be a success, and it would seem that several new romances had popped up from the evening. One of which was Bea and James. Clarissa noticed that the girl was actually humming as she did her work.

Meanwhile, Clarissa continued to grow in size, with Roger practically dancing with glee every time that the baby kicked. She had to admit that at first it was exciting to have this new life make itself known to them.

After a while, it got to be a bit much as sometime the baby would kick all night, making it difficult to get sleep. And many was the night that the baby would kick the whole time that Roger made love to her, which was very frustrating to them both.

By now, she had a definite pregnancy waddle when she walked, and Thunder seemed unsure of how to accept her with her extended tummy. Even reaching over the stallion to comb him was difficult and eventually, despite the fact that she wore her specially made pants and jacket, Roger decided that it was no longer safe to do so and that he would take care of that too.

 

[cumnchat]

The weeks following the Servants Ball were a kaleidoscope of new experiences for both Bea and James, new sights, sounds, smells and taste as they became accustomed to being naked in each other's company.

Bea would giggle at the sight of James' cock, as she had learned to call it, swelling and growing bigger as she teased him whilst undressing. James for his part never tired of hearing Bea moaning and whimpering as he played with her breasts and made them so hard yet so sensitive. Rarely would James wash his hands until the next day, preferring to lay in his own bed and smelling the sweet odour of Bea's arousal on his fingers. Bea loved the taste of James when he deposited his seed in her mouth or on her breasts, she always cleaned up with her fingers first and sucked them clean before washing herself. Their romance blossomed under the watchful eyes of Clarissa and Roger.

So it was with just a few weeks to go before Clarissa was due to give birth that she was in the library reading the latest book by the author of the day, Charles Dickens, A TALE OF TWO CITIES. Roger took a walk in the grounds wandering aimlessly when he found himself at the lakeside and heard tinkling laughter and giggling coming from a small beach at the side of the lake, being naturally curious he watched out of sight as a Very naked Bea emerged from the water with an equally naked James waiting for her with outstretched arms. Bea ran into his arms and they kissed passionately.

Roger was not a voyeur by nature but the scene was beautiful to watch. He had never thought of Bea as a woman, she was his wife's maid and that was it, but now he had seen the beauty that she really was his breeches became very tight, something he had no control over.

He was close enough to hear their conversation and as he listened it became all the more interesting.

"Bea, don't yew fink oi've bin real patient wiv yew? Oi ain't tried to do more than wot yew said oi can 'ave oi?"

"Yew've bin a real gennelman James an' oi'm grateful but oi ain't changin' me moind."

"No yew misunnerstand me Bea, tha knows oi want yew loike crazy, so t'only way is fer us t'get wed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if yew'll 'ave me."

Bea squealed in delight and threw herself back into James' arms and wrapping her legs around his waist with James' cock jammed between them.

'Well I Never,' thought Roger, smiling broadly 'Just wait until Clarissa hears about this, she'll be so jealous that she didn't witness it.'

He turned silently and went back to the house.

 

[Opensesame54321]

It took all of Clarissa’s self-control not to let Bea know that she had knowledge of the maid’s secret. First, because the girl would die of embarrassment to know that someone other than James had seen her naked. And second, the girl should be allowed the honor of announcing to people the news of her engagement.

However, the fact that the young woman was in love and floating on a cloud was apparent to both Roger and Clarissa. Roger caught Clarissa’s eye with a raised eyebrow and a grin, but Bea was so happy and off in a dream world that she did not notice anything.

After the third time of asking the woman to bring her something only to not be heard, Clarissa feigned curiosity and asked Bea, “is something wrong, Bea? Your mind seems to be on something else.”

“Uh, ‘e did it!”

“Oh no! Who did what?” Clarissa acted concerned.

“James! ‘e asked me ta be ‘is woif! Oi’m gonna marry James!”

“Oh Bea! I’m so pleased for you!” Jumping up, running or anything remotely like that was beyond Clarissa’s capabilities at this time but she was still very happy for the woman and soon the two women were discussing just what Bea could use for a wedding dress.

That night, as she lay in bed trying to sleep, she just could not get comfortable. It felt as if Thunder was sitting on her, no matter which way she turned. Roger snored beside her and finally she woke him and thought that if she walked a bit, maybe she could finally get to sleep.

As he helped her stand, she felt a sudden whoosh and at first she thought that she had peed herself.

“Oh Love I’m so sorry.”

Roger seemed to be suddenly wide awake, announcing that her water had broken and the baby was on the way. Soon the house was in an uproar with James sent off to fetch the Doctor, and Bea and several other women preparing things for the Doctor’s arrival.

With the contractions started, Roger stayed right by her side, holding her hand and encouraging her to hang on until the Doctor Perkins arrived.

“I just had a feeling that she was going to deliver early,” Doctor Perkins said as he entered the master bedroom. Clarissa was too busy just trying to get through the next round of contractions to pay attention to what was happening around her.

She could hear Roger saying that he wanted to stay with her, but the Doctor was adamant that Roger leave.

“I promise that if there is any problem that I will send for you.”

And with that, Roger was gone, relegated to the role of waiting to be told the sex of his child. Clarissa didn’t have time to worry about Roger or what he was going through as she was busy riding the crest of contractions.

Morning dawned with Roger still waiting. James periodically would check on the Master to see if he needed anything. Clarissa’s grunts and cries became more vocal. Finally, it was around 10:30 in the morning that the sound of a baby’s cry cut through the morning air. After a bit, the door opened and a tired Doctor Perkins stepped into the hall to be met by a very anxious Roger.

“Congratulations, Sir DeCoverly. You have a beautiful daughter. Mother and daughter are doing just fine.” He chuckled. “You can go in and see them now.”

 

[cumnchat]

That night, waiting and waiting for Clarissa to give him their first child, seemed to last for ever, not being there with her and holding her hand seemed wrong, he was sure that the doctor knew there was something wrong but wouldn't say anything, the dawn came and still nothing, he could hear Clarissa crying and grunting when he put his ear to the door. He paced up and down and even had a smoke of his pipe.

Around mid morning the door opened and out stepped a weary looking Doctor Perkins. Roger searched the Doctor's face for any indication of what had happened, before Roger could speak and question the Doctor a big smile broke out on his face,

'Congratulations, Sir DeCoverly. You have a beautiful daughter. Mother and daughter are doing just fine. You can go in and see them now.'

Roger forgot his manners and pushed past the doctor into the bedchamber to find Clarissa propped up on the pillows looking pale and tired with a tiny bundle held close to her chest.

"Just like a female, takes an age to get ready to face the world."

He chuckled as he went to Clarissa's bedside and took his first look at his newborn daughter. The babe's eyes were closed and seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

"How are you my love? Tired I'll be bound."

"I know it is early days yet but we must decide on names for her and as I was waiting outside it came to me that we are here now because of one person................. ADA. So what say you that be one of her names the other or others I will leave to you, but one I will not accept is the name ALICE."

"You must rest my love so I will go and pen a letter to your father, the old fool will be beside himself with joy I am sure."

He bent and kissed Clarissa's lips and then his daughter's forehead.

 

[Opensesame54321]

And so Ada Louisa DeCoverly was born. The baby was fair of face and did not have any freckles though Doctor Perkins had informed Clarissa that babies were not born with them but that the would be seen as Baby Ada got older.

“Probably around 2 years old, and since you have an abundance of them, I suspect that she will have them too.” Two bright blue eyes looked up at her as she waved a tiny little fist in the air. To Clarissa the baby looked perfect.

They had hired a woman to be the baby’s nanny, a woman named Mrs. Laura Lightfoot. She had been married and had several children before her husband had been killed in a farm accident. Once her children were all grown and married, she had looked to other children to raise and at 49 years old, had arrived just last week and gotten settled in, arranging the nursery as it would work best for her.

Now, once Roger had left to write to her father, and the Doctor had given Nanny Lightfoot (as she preferred to be called) any instructions as to the care of little Ada, the woman taught Clarissa how to let Ada suckle and how to burp her before leaving Clarissa to have her well-deserved rest.

Soon Clarissa’s life became a round of 4 hour feedings. Roger proudly showed the baby off to everyone in the household, and of course, all proclaimed her the sweetest, most beautiful baby that any of them had ever seen.

As soon as possible, Clarissa sent a letter to Lady Ada letting her know of her namesake. They were soon contacted by letter from Annabella, Ada’s daughter, informing them that her mother was extremely ill and unable to see anyone but that she would let her mother know of the baby. This was indeed sad news to both Clarissa and Roger as the last time that they had seen Annabella, the young girl had been more outgoing (at least that had been Clarissa‘a memories) but this letter seemed more cold and standoffish.

Roger was forced to continue riding Thunder as Doctor Perkins had told her that it would be a while before she would be able to ride again. In the meantime, they were ‘blessed’ with a visit from her father, who was extremely proud to now be a Grandfather, and quickly proclaimed Ada “the most beautiful baby in the whole of England, nay, in the entire world - even more beautiful than her own mother had been”, and was quick to point out to any servant or visiting tradesman that he was “The Grandfather!”

“I have never seen him so proud in my life,” Clarissa told her husband. “You would think that Ada was the first child ever born.”

Still, it was sweet to see him thinking of something other than gambling. Roger had put him on a strict allowance, and had informed all the gambling tables that Lord Wilford Fernwood had a limit and that any overages WOULD NOT be honored. The limit seemed to set remarkably well with the man. There had been rumors as to her father enjoying himself with the opposite sex, but Clarissa had seen none of this. And if Roger had seen or heard of anything, he had kept it to himself.

Father stayed for a fortnight, claiming that the food here was tastier, and that their wine cellars was better stocked than Fernwood’s. This she knew was untrue. Clarissa suspected that in fact, father was lonely.

 

[cumnchat]

A few days after the arrival of Ada Louise Roger went to the stable to take Thunder for his usual morning run only to be met by James with a smile a mile wide on his face,

"Oi cain't be riding Cloudy wiv yer this morning, Sir, she's all sorta skittish an' wants t'be alone, yer know wot that means Sir?"

"No James, I don't know, is she ill?"

"Not ill 'xactly Sir but she's gonna need t'orse doctor t'tek a look at 'er Oi reckon she's gonna be foalin' pretty soon."

Roger's smile grew at the news, in the hoohah surrounding the arrival of his daughter he had forgotten all about Cloudy being pregnant.

"That is good news indeed James, has anyone told the father to be?"

"No Sir."

"Then not a word, I know who should break the news to Thunder."

Roger went back up to the house and found Clarissa who was watching little Ada kicking her feet and waving her arms about.

"Clarissa, would you wrap Ada up warm and bring her with you she should meet your best friend."

On the way to the stables Roger told Clarissa what James had told him and insisted,

"You should be the one to tell him that he will shortly be a father and you can introduce little Ada to him."

Thunder was impatient and pawing the ground wanting to be off, galloping across the countryside but when he saw Roger and Clarissa approaching with abundle in Clarissa's arms he trotted towards them and enquiringly pushed his nose into the bundle. Roger and Clarissa both laughed as Ada's tiny hand stroked Thunder's wet nose.

"Go ahead Clarissa you do the introductions and give him the good news."

 

[Opensesame54321]

Almost from their first meeting, little Ada and Thunder seemed best friends. Thunder seemed fascinated by the tiny creature in Clarissa‘s arms, the thing that smelled a bit like her and a bit like the man and a bit of her own scent. The stallion patiently let the tiny hand drum on his velvet, wet nose before he snorted and made the baby cry.

Soon there was another new life at The Gables, with Cloudy giving birth to a beautiful black foal. The colt was promptly named Stormy and could frequently be seen kicking up his heel in the pasture as he followed Cloudy around. However, it was easy to see that the colt had probably inherited Thunder’s love for running as he tested his legs and flicked his tail.

She looked forward to the time when the doctor would release her to ride again, but in the meantime, on nice days she would walk out carrying Ada, with Nanny Lightfoot following close behind, watching Roger gallop in, dismount, and curry down the black stallion.

Eventually James and Bea set the date for their wedding, and suddenly the poor thing was all at sixes and sevens, worrying about what to expect on her wedding night. Naturally she turned to Clarissa for moral support as well as feminine insight and wisdom and was secretly delighted to discover that she and James had already done a large portion of things, all except the actual deed.

Around the time of Bea and James’s wedding, Doctor Perkins gave Clarissa the okay to once again ride Thunder and resume normal marital relations with her husband, much to the relief of both. Therefore, during the wedding both Clarissa and Roger sported tired smiles from the rather active late night that both had enjoyed, and there were many secretive glances between the two all day as they remembered their own wedding night.

Bea and James were married and off on a honeymoon before the young girl knew it. James took his new wife to Bath, and that night both James and Bea lost their virginity to each other. Bea took to sex like a duck to water and she and her new husband spent many delightful hours exploring each other.

It was some time after Christmas that Clarissa received a note from Annabella. “This is to inform you that my Mother, Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, left this world to be with our Heavenly Father on 27 November 1852. May God have pity on her sinful soul and take her to his bosom.”

That was it. No private note, just a general message like something printed in the papers. She and Roger grieved over the loss of such a dear friend and one that had been so instrumental in them getting together and getting married. They were not certain as to the strange wording of Ada as “sinful” and chose to chalk the that up to Annabella and felt that the world had lost a truly talented and intelligent woman.

Soon Bea discovered that all the late night “practicing” that they had been doing resulted in her becoming pregnant. The young woman really blossomed as her belly grew, and on a dark and stormy July night, she gave birth to a boy that they named Willam, which was after James’ deceased father.

About two years later, they discovered that once again Clarissa was pregnant and as before, it became necessary for Clarissa to take great care lest she lose the baby. Around eight months later, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, which they finally named Ashton DeCoverly, but they quickly called him Ash. He was a feisty baby and his older sister, who was now about two years old and a carbon copy of her mother, freckles and all, wanted nothing to do with her new baby brother and instead asked if they could trade him in for a pony.

On the day that the doctor arrived and announced to Clarissa that she could once again ride Thunder, she was overjoyed. As soon as Doctor Perkins had checked on little Ada and announced Baby Ash perfect, Clarissa quickly shooed him out and dressed in her riding togs.

At the stables, Thunder was already saddled and waiting and gave a welcoming whinny when he saw her dressed for riding. Climbing back up in the saddle, she felt at home and Thunder seemed happy too.

Roger watched from the window as Clarissa and Thunder appeared from the side of the stables. To him, the horse seemed to step a bit higher, as if dancing in glee at being reunited with his true best friend, before the pair headed out across the pasture. The stallion began to run and he admired how Clarissa never seemed unsteady in the saddle but was alway at home. Horse and rider became one. As he watched, his wife leaned over and he knew all too well that she was whispering in the horse’s ear the word that that black beast longed to hear. He never knew what that word was, and had no desire to ask her. It was a secret between Clarissa and Thunder.

Suddenly the two were racing the wind across the countryside with the jet black mane of the horse blending with Clarissa’s blonde hair torn loose from the pins that ineffectively tried to hold her hair in place. Thunder’s mane stung her face as the smell of him filled her nostrils, his hooves drumming to the beating of her heart.

A smile crossed Roger’s lips as his eyes followed the two wild things that flew along the crest of the hill, like a wild thing loose upon the countryside, uncatchable and free. Yet he knew that both would return to him. There was a shimmer as if horse and rider had crossed an invisible threshold between the past and present and future, and then they disappeared over the hill as they raced across the countryside.

He had promised her that if she would marry him, he would allow her that freedom that she so passionately sought. He had kept his promise. Yet he knew that between Clarissa and himself was that invisible bond of love that would always bring her back to him.

This is where we end “The Bride Absconded”. Cumnchat, my writing partner in this foray into the world of Clarissa and Roger, and I hope that you have enjoyed this story. I looked back and we began writing this in August of 2018 and in those 2 years Clarissa and Roger and all the other characters have won a place in my heart. I hope that they have in your heart too.

Unfortunately, I find that I must leave the Literotica Forum as my real life has become too crazy at this time. There is always the hope that in the future maybe I can again return and write again. One never knows.

I have been blessed to have partnered with several really talented writers - writers the spurred my imagination and helped me to improve this craft, and for that I thank them.

Cumnchat, I will deeply miss writing with you. Hopefully some day we can again partner and create characters that will fill the pages of a new story. I highly recommend him for a writing partner and if any females are looking for a collaborator, be sure to check him out. And do be sure to read the other of Cumnchat’s stories that he is currently working on.

God Bless and Stay Safe to All
