guest into his study . He poured them each a generous amount of brandy .
“You told me I could have your daughter ! I do not like Greyton always about , her mooning over him so . S he scarcely speaks to me anymore , Brackenridge! Tonight at dinner she said no mor e than two words to me, ” Lord Marston said bitterly . He took a long draught of brandy .
“Have patience, Marston . I know exactly what I am doing . Grace has fancied herself in love with Greyton for years now . I sent her to London for a full year in hopes her feelings for him would dim and they have not . She is just like her poor mother, god rest her soul and as stubborn as my wife was as well.”
“She’s your daughter, she has no say in whom she weds ! Just arrange this marriage between us and let’s be done with it.”
“And you want her coming to you as your wife still in love with another ? I think not . Greyton is leaving next week to go to Italy for three months on his historical society business . I am purposely allowing them to get close so Grace can truly fancy herself in love . I can assure you, that in three months time, I can arrange things so s he thinks he has forsaken her. ”
The squire chuckled and continued, “ Her maid, the buxom and amorous Jenny makes certain they have a little time alone . I must stray from the topic of my daughter to comment on Jenny, Marston. I’ve never met a woman who could please my cock more!” The squire laughed lewdly . “Perh aps you will stay the night, eh ? I could let Jenny cheer you up, Marston ! The things she can do with that sinful mouth of hers- ”
Marston grimaced . “The only woman I want beneath me is your daughter, Brackenridge ! You know I have offered a very large sum for her.”
“You shall have her, Marston . Trust me when I tell you I know what I’m doing . Jenny and I have things well in hand . Grace’s heart shall be completely broken . And she will willingly marry a man who wi ll have her and who wants her. She will appreciate you when she comes to you. How do you think I happened to marry her beautiful mother , eh ? It certainly took some work on my part, ” Brackenridge laughed boisterously .
The squire added with a menacing chuckle , “Greyton has been sowing his oats this past year while Grace resided in London . I f need be I can also arrange for a woman who served as his casual mistress to let loose a few well-plac ed words . Thi s widow in particular , I currently have eating…out of my hand , I should say . For I have visited her often of late . I shall pay her a handsome fee to help my daughter fall out of love with Owen Darrington, Lord Greyton. ” The Squire shrugged, “ Grace will willingly meet you at the altar, it will be her idea, and all will be well ! She will come to you as a willing bride. ”
“I hope for your sake you are correct, Squire . Else your creditors shall eat you aliv e, for you’ll not get a penny more from my purse until I am wed to Grace!” Lord Marston drained his brandy, rose and faced the Squire. “Good evening, sir ! And exactly how long must I wait for this miraculous turnaround in her affections?”
“Six weeks . And you’ll be married and might even get an heir on my daughter before Greyton returns.” The Squire watched as Marston’s face lit up with an evil grin.
“I’d like that . I wait for the day he returns to find Grace is mine.”
“That day shall soon be upon you.” T he S quire called for the footman to see his guest out . When the footman returned he barked, “Send Jenny to me at once, Wilkins!”
“Yes , sir . A t once, sir.”
“You wished to see me, Squire?” Jenny slipped into the study.
“Shut the door and lock it, woman.”
“Yes, Squire, ” Jenny offered him a sultry smile . Once the door was locked she turned around to face him . She sauntered slowly toward the desk . She could tell by his red face and his movements he was pumping his cock to get ready for her .
“How is
