<strong>Hugh, Baron Covington</strong><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/03/Geraint_Baron_Hugh_Covington_Av.jpg)</div><em>"Ouch!"</em><br/><br/>It is possible, the Baron knows, that he pushes her too far, only time will tell.  She seems not quite so pliant to his hand as when he paused earlier, and more tense.  But she's still not pushing away the hand slowly kneading her arse cheek, and he's given her something to think about.  At least that is what he chooses to believe.<br/><br/>Still, she seems less belligerent in now, as she moans her answering plea.<br/><br/><em>"I'm sorry … Pray, be done with this punishment upon my body, my lord … I shouldn't have snooped in your chambers, and I won't again."</em><br/><br/>He has no experience with the woman, to know whether or not she is acting, but he chooses to take her words at face value.  Hugh is not a bad man, nor vindictive, nor particularly violent.  He just chooses his recreations differently that others, and exercises his excess energies in different ways   And there is a least a small glimmer of hope in him that this young woman might be amenable to such interests.   It would make his life, and indirectly that of his wife to be, a lot less complicated.<br/><br/>"There now, that wasn't so bad was it, for a courageous lass like yourself?  I accept your apology."<br/><br/>He gives her arse one last gentle pat, and relinquishes his hold upon her.<br/><br/>"You are free to return to your mistress, and my offer remains open should your curiosity continue."<br/>
