The Pleasure Room (4 page)

“And where exactly did your ride take you last evening?” asked Anthony, looking at me over the top of his cup.

“Em…I believe just a little to the west.”

“Ah, perhaps that’s what the servant meant when he said you had gone to Bayswater.”

I almost choked on the sandwich I nibbled on.

“Are you all right, Lucinda?”

I raised my hand. “Perfectly.”

I hoped my almost choking on the bread had put a stop to Anthony’s questioning, but alas, it didn’t.

“So it wasn’t Bayswater?”

“Goodness, no. I did not venture that far.”

Lies, lies and more lies.

“Well, next time you feel like a ride at night, I would prefer you ask me to go with you. The roads are not always the safest for a lady traveling alone.”

I nodded, and once again guilt washed over me. He was such a caring soul. That was perhaps why I craved him so much. A man with looks, charm and a warm heart. The same as my late husband.

“Well, I must run, because I have yet more preparations to oversee for next Saturday. I must say I’m getting very excited about the evening.”

I realized perhaps I would need to buy another mask by then. The original was getting well-used and well-worn.

I walked him to the door and then waved goodbye as his carriage headed down the driveway. Now I was on edge, sexually. Being in Anthony’s presence always did that to me. The blue eyes and wavy hair.

I walked back into the house. I would once again go to Baywater and get him out of my system.

Chapter Five

It had begun to rain halfway on my journey that night. I stepped out and gave the driver the usual orders of returning for me in two hours. I waited until he was out of sight and then put on my mask before I made a dash for the door. Once again the same girl answered it, and I wondered if others frequented the club as often as me.

“Hurry inside,” she said. “It looks to be an awful evening out there.”

She took my cloak and gave me my number, nine for tonight. I headed straight to the main room, hoping mine would be picked immediately so we could get down to business.

As I opened the door, I noticed one thing was different—no other women were in attendance, and all the men wore the same black and white mask. My stomach flipped. It was the same one Anthony had selected for the ball next Saturday.

“Number nine,” all the men shouted at once.

One man stepped forward. “You know the rules of the pleasure club. Only two men can have a lady at any one time.”

“I was the first here,” said a man.

“And I was second,” said another, pushing his way through the group.

Both men led me outside, and none of us spoke as the girl handed the taller of the two a key. She smiled at them and then we headed up the stairs to room ten where they blindfolded me.

“Do you like games?” one man asked.

“I suppose. It depends on what they are.”

“The first one is I will sit and watch while the other gentleman undresses you.”

I lifted my arms, allowing him to unbutton my dress. All the time I thought perhaps this would be like the other night with Simon and Alan—one to fuck me, one to grow hard. One after the other inside my pussy. Moisture gathered on my thighs as I was stripped of my dress and then undergarments. Rough hands pulled the leggings off my body.

“What a beautiful woman we have found tonight.” He had a deep rich voice that sent shivers down my spine and legs.

“Touch her body,” said the other man. I could tell he sat some distance from me.

The man who had been the one to undress me ran his hands over my breasts, pulling on my nipples until they stood upright like pebbles. He ran his hand down my belly, into my pubic hair and then skimmed his finger downward, catching my clit and breath in the process.

He lifted me and placed me onto the bed, parting my legs. He ran his fingers over my folds, slipping what felt like his middle finger inside me.

“Hot, wet and beautiful and so in need of a cock,” he said.

“Let me take a look at her beauty,” the other man called to him.

Nothing was said. In fact, there was no sound of movement, and I wondered if he looked at my pussy.

“I want to taste her,” he finally said.

He pushed my legs apart and then I knew it was his tongue, not his hand or cock, that pushed into my pussy. It was wet and hot and oh, so soft as it plunged into me.

My husband had always thrilled me this way, and I suddenly missed him more than I’d ever imagined. I grabbed the bedcover and pulled it between my fingers. My cream slid out of me and no doubt onto this man’s lips.

He lashed out with his tongue, creating a flicking sensation that stirred my nerve endings and made my pussy almost convulse. One more flick and that was all it took for me to cry out with ecstasy. One of them removed my blindfold.

“This gentlemen has to leave now, but don’t worry I’ll keep you entertained, “ he said, looking up at me, but still kneeling in front of my outstretched legs.

The other man nodded and left.

“My name is Sean.” He kissed his way up my body, sucking on my nipples and then came close to my lips. “There is not a piece of your body that does not taste delicious.”

He kissed me. None of the other men had done that, and it was something I had to admit I had missed. Sex without kisses was only half the pleasure. Sean was a great kisser. His tongue slid into my mouth and dueled with my own.

He raised himself and looked at me. Those blue eyes were so beautiful. “I think I should take my clothes off, because my cock needs to be free,” he finally said.

He stood and disrobed with lightning speed. His cock was thicker and longer than any of the other gentlemen I’d been with at the pleasure club. The thick, dark curls circling his member made it look beautiful.

Once naked, he climbed onto the bed with me, and I couldn’t contain myself a minute longer. I reached out and stroked his cock. He drew in his breath with each one of my caresses.

A drop of pre-cum bubbled from its tip. I leaned over and licked it before rolling his shaft into my mouth. He turned over, taking me with him. I lapped at him, and he ran his fingers through my hair.

“The pleasure room is just that,” he said as I took more of him into my mouth. “But it’s not supposed to be about me but you.”

He took his member from my mouth and twisted me so I was the one now on my back. Sean ran the very tip of his finger down the middle of my body, over my navel and through the middle of my curls. He pushed my legs apart and massaged my clit with his thumb. I closed my eyes, drifting off to a place where there was nothing but pleasure, and within minutes, he had brought me to my climax.

His finger danced through my folds as he teased my pussy opening. “I do believe it’s the most beautiful one I’ve seen.”

I smiled. He seemed kind, and his words reminded me of Anthony. I glanced down again as his finger played with my pussy opening. I caught sight of the ring on his little finger. Gold with a stone in the center. I recognized it. The beautiful eyes too. Only one man possessed those deep blue eyes.

It couldn’t be.

“Anthony,” I said. My heart beating so fast I almost fainted.

“I wondered if you’d recognize me. And if you did how long it would take you.”

He took off the mask, but I was too ashamed to take off mine. I turned to face the wall, knowing I could never look Anthony in the eye ever again. I was a liar, a woman who frequented these sorts of establishments. I’d been with two men. Strange men had fucked me, spanked me. I put my hand over my mouth, sensing I would be sick from the shame of it.

“Lucinda, look at me,” he said, pulling my chin around so I was forced to finally face him.

He pushed my mask off, and a tear ran down my cheek. I had been caught red-handed by my brother-in-law, no less. He had given me two orgasms, and one had been brought on by his tongue, of all things.

I tried to cover my breasts and pulled my legs up to hide my shame, and stop him from looking at my pussy for a second longer than he already had. Anthony stopped me again, pulling my arms down by my sides.

“There is nothing to be ashamed of, dear one. You are a woman with needs that must be met. Since you no longer have a husband to take care of them it is only natural you must seek out this sort of place.”

Another tear ran down my face.

“Why did you not come to me and tell me that you needed pleasuring?” he asked.

“Because you are my dead husband’s brother, that’s why. And I would have died from shame. How long have you known I visited this house?”

“I am the one who planted the idea. I told the ladies to speak of such a place. I wanted you to have some fun for a night, but the when I was told you had returned a second time I grew jealous.”

Jealous?” I asked.

He rubbed my cheek with his thumb and then leaned toward me and kissed me. “Have you not known I’ve had a certain soft spot for you ever since my brother introduced us before you wed him? Had my brother not been in love with you, I would have made you mine.”

“I am ashamed of the feelings I’ve had to for you,” I said, more tears sailing down my face.

“But no more, dear Lucinda, no more,” said Anthony.

He kissed me again and parted my legs with his right knee. Before I could protest and tell him this was so morally wrong, his cock was inside me, warming my pussy and thrilling it like never before.

He thrust deeper, and I suddenly forgot all that had happened tonight. Now he was one of the men at the club, and not my dead husband’s brother. I lifted my body to meet his thrusts, drew my legs up and around him, sending the tip of his cock burrowing deeper into my pussy walls.

I climaxed repeatedly as he pushed harder, thighs smashing against mine. The best thing of all was when he found his release and his hot seed filled my pussy and brought me warmth and a sense of fulfillment.

We lay together, our bodies locked, as if someone had thrown away the key. His cock was still buried deep within me. We kissed like two people madly in love, and I thought perhaps we were as I no longer needed to hide my feelings for him. He ran his tongue over my lips.

“What will others think if we are to become lovers? Our good names in society will be in ruins.”

“I do not mind what others think of my reputation, but yours is of the utmost importance. And for that reason, and that alone, we cannot and will not be lovers,” he said, kissing me again.

His cock pulsated inside me, and disappointment washed over me on the news that he and I would and could not enjoy one another’s bodies on a regular basis. He spoke the truth.

He tapped my nose. “I have always loved to tease you, dear one. It’s one of the things I love most about you.”

“Tease me?”

“While we won’t be lovers, we will be husband and wife.”

“Surely people will think—”

He put his index and middle finger upon my lips, preventing me from saying another word. “Can think what they like. You are to be my wife. It is what my brother would have wished. He wouldn’t have been happy seeing you remarry just any man whose fancy you took.”

“And have I taken yours?”

His cock grew long and hard within me. “I am sure you just felt my answer.” He slowly thrust inside me. I flexed my toes. “We will announce our engagement at the masked ball.”

The masked ball. The mask. How I had lied and deceived my now husband-to-be. I would make things up to him every day of our lives together. I would give him an heir if that was what he wished.

I brought my legs up over his bottom and crossed my ankles. “We will make love every night,” I said.

“Nonsense, it will have to be at least twice a night.”

I threw my head back, taken with yet another climax. I liked the sound of being pleasured more than once a night.
