				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn sat as still as she could as the servant pulled and prodded at her long, raven hair until her grandmother, Lady Isabelle was satisfied with the curls in the back.&nbsp; It didn’t matter that a headache threatened and she had argued endlessly for the torment to stop.&nbsp; She hated being here, back in this horrific place where everything was about who had more, could do more, was better than this one and that one.&nbsp; All she wanted was to go back home, back to Atlanta and nothing more.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The last three days had been nothing but continuous arguing over Autumn’s not wanting to attend the first spring ball.&nbsp; It had been Lady Isabelle’s idea, with the constant excuse that she needed to be reintroduced to her former peers and it best to do it early in the season.&nbsp; Autumn had no intention of becoming reacquainted with any of them, the only one she cared anything for was Amelia and she would understand her not attending as they had already visited with each other a couple of times since her return.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Corset tied and every layer imaginable on the maid servant helped the blue dress that pushed her bust up further than she had ever had.&nbsp; Autumn’s ocean blue eyes stared back at her in the floor length mirror.&nbsp; “Your truly beautiful, Madame.”&nbsp; The girl beamed in awe of her work.&nbsp; “Thank you, Sarah.”&nbsp; Autumn turned, her skirts bustling as she climbed down the stairs.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Grandmother.”&nbsp; The southern accent standing out far too well, costing Autumn a glance of annoyance from Lady Isabelle.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You would think you could try to at least sound as if you were born here!”&nbsp; The woman said with a huff as she turned leaving the corridor heading out onto the porch as the carriage came around to take them to Lord and Lady Stewart's home.&nbsp; The night air was still quiet cool, resulting in Autumn pulling the shawl around her tighter as she climbed into the carriage.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The short drive was held in mostly silence other than the occasional order of how a lady should behave at a function such as this.&nbsp; The grand manor was brightly lit and already filled with people young and old a-like.&nbsp; The unmarried ladies in hopes of capturing the right man and their parents more than eager to see that it happened, all except for Autumn as she had no intentions of actually marrying anyone not before she was back home at least.<br>

				Katey was board out of her mind, she was dressed in a black skirt and a black tank top, she had thigh high socks with black and whit strips on them. She was Goth through and through, she sat at the window to her room looking out board. She had a tong stud and her ears were pieced multiple times. She was grounded; her mother was angry with her for staying out to late. She was 18 and she argued the point, but it did no good. She watched as all the men left there houses. She then smiled at the new guy, she watched him for a moment, before sliding her boots on and sneaking out of the house. She walked over to him and leaned on the fence watching him, Her long black hair blowing behind her, “Hi there.”<br><br>She pressed her fingers in deeper to her pussy and hit her g-spot making her cum, she smiled as she licked the juices as they flowed out from around her hand, She then let Melina down before leaning over her to kiss her lips lightly, “Now you rest hear, I have some other things to take care of.”<br><br>“Why do I have to go to this ball,” he sighed and looked at him self in the mirror, he was dressed in trousers a white shirt with sliver lace around it and a black and sliver coat jacket with a long tail was held by a servant to help him get it on. “Quit complaining, you need to be out and with the people,” The woman behind him was an elderly woman with graying hair and dressed in a maids outfit. <br><br>He slid in to the over coat and looked at him self in the full length mirror, his hair was short brown combed strait, his eyes were his best future, he was very handsome, but his eyes were an odd color of silver, the girls had a roomers that when he smiled they glowed like stars in the sky. “See there you look handsome,” said the elderly maid, “now stand up strait and find a wife I want to hear the sounds of children in this house hold.” He rolled his eyes at her words and she smacked him in the side of the head. <br><br>He gave a little laugh at the smack and he smiled at the maid, “what would I do with out you Juila?” She smiled and pushed him to the door, “be lost in the woods I would say,” she then shoed him outside to the carriage waiting. He got in and road in quite before the door was opened and he stepped out, walking inside they announced every person, when his name was announced several of the single girls looked up at him.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The shriek coming from Autumn’s only friend nearly toppled her over.&nbsp; “What has you acting so?”&nbsp; Autumn questioned sternly as she looked up to see the man that had just been announced.&nbsp; As attractive as he may have been Autumn wasn’t interested and had no problems with leaving him to all of the other single ladies and her friend.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her name was already being blabbed about the social circles enough as it was at how peculiar she now was, she didn’t need another rumor upon her.&nbsp; “I can’t believe he is on my dance card.”&nbsp; Amelia said her smile wider than Autumn could ever recall it.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Well, he isn’t on mine but Lady Isabelle made sure to have every other potential suitor available on mine.”&nbsp; She looked at the card for the umpteenth time that evening.&nbsp; “I barely have any time to take a break according to this.”&nbsp; Autumn’s voice trailed off as Lord Waverly joined them momentarily before leading Autumn&nbsp; out on to the dance floor.<br>

				He walked in to the large hall and was swarmed by single women; he smiled nervously and walked around them being as polite as possible. He soon was free of the girls, as a servant handed him his dance card, He looked it over and he knew he was in for a long night. Soon a young woman approached him introducing her self, and she was first on his ticket. <br><br>He took her hand and led her on to the dance floor, as he moved with her making idle talk. Well she was making most of the talk, he was just nodding at the right times. In his head he thought he would marry the first woman who said nothing wile they danced.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; By the time the music ended, Autumn hurried away from her first dance partner her feet aching in the process.&nbsp; Why would the man even attempt to dance when every step that he made ended up on top of her feet?&nbsp; Finding the study unlocked she quickly entered taking a seat in front of the fire that was burning in the fire place.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The décor was way too dark for her liking but well it was the Lord of the house’s study and her input wouldn’t be appreciated.&nbsp; Nor was she supposed to be in there.&nbsp; Removing her white gloves and then her heeled boots she began to massage her aching feet.&nbsp; Tears threatening to spill, Autumn wasn’t a weakling in the least but the man himself hadn’t been very light.<br>

				When the music finished he smiled and bowed to the woman, and then stepped away as if to refresh him self, he found the study and walked inside. He closed the door behind him, his ears still ringing with the idol chatter of that annoying woman. <br><br>He then paused and relisted he was not alone, he looked at the woman in the room with him and he put on his best smile, half expecting her to act like all the other women. Then he saw that her shoes were off and so were her gloves, "Ooh I am sorry, to intrude madem. I was just looking for the lou." a clear lie.<br><br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn looked up to see who had come in on her.&nbsp; “Alexander of Demar, am I correct?”&nbsp; She asked a light smile playing at her lips.&nbsp; “You’re not intruding at all. I was just well attempting to prevent any damage that might have been done.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;At right about this moment she should have been more than retreating from the room before anyone could see the two of them together.&nbsp; The words scandal playing throughout her head as Lady Isabelle would be more than irate at the thought of her alone without a chaperone.&nbsp; He was attractive and Autumn could more than see why it was the ladies threw themselves at him.&nbsp; “Shouldn’t you be out on the dance floor?”&nbsp; She finally asked.<br>

				He gave her a smile at her accent and the way she talked, he chuckled at her words about the damage, he had seen the clumsy man step on her toes once or twice, “I understand.. Autumn is it.” She did not act like the other women and he liked that. “Well I would be out on the dance floor, but I wish to save my ear drums so that I may listen to something other than the squeaks of nerves hens.” <br><br>He walked to her and looked down at her she was pretty, and she had a spark inside of her not seen in many women, the thought of a scandal did not even enter his mind.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A light laugh escaped her lips, the comment of the nervous hens.&nbsp; “At least they talk you to death in hopes of marrying you.&nbsp; The nervous hens squawk about me in hopes of…never mind.”&nbsp; She said quickly changing the subject as she would be just as guilty in the gossip mill as they were.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“I do know that my friend Amelia is eager to dance with you and I wouldn’t classify her as a nervous hen.”&nbsp; At least she thought she wouldn’t although were well to do handsome men were about that was generally enough to change the way a girl acted.&nbsp; “I do have to return now but it was rather nice talking to you.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn laced her boots back up and slipped on her gloves as was proper, how sometimes she just wanted to scream at the word.&nbsp; Lady Isabelle had propered her to death as of lately. Standing she made her way quickly to the door giving it not one or even two turns before pulling on it.&nbsp; “It seems to be stuck.”&nbsp; She said glancing his way.<br>

				He looked at the door, “it could not be, The lord hear keeps it well oiled,” He walked up next to her , “Move aside madam and let me do it.” He took the door in his hand and pulled on it but it did not open, she rattled it gently at first and then pulled harder on it.<br><br>The handle then popped and snapped off the door and he was pulling it hard as he fell backward in to her. He tried to regain his balance but her skirts got tangled in his feet, he tried to reach out for her to keep her from falling. But it was futule and he tumbled to the floor along with her.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; Autumn hadn’t really thought she was standing that close, but the thought was pointless as she now found herself on top of the man, at her horror.&nbsp; Before she could move the door was swinging open and her grandmother, Lady Isabelle stood there with her stern face and eyes narrowed.&nbsp; “Autumn remove yourself from the gent, now!”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It really wasn’t a position she wanted to be in nor have her grandmother find her in no matter how attractive the man was.&nbsp; “Grandmother it’s not what you think!”&nbsp; She cried quickly moving nearly toppling over again as she stood.&nbsp; “The, the door was…”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“The door was what locked?&nbsp; Autumn it’s the oldest trick in the book, that’s why insist upon your being chaperoned at all times.”&nbsp; The lady said with a huff.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn looked at Alexander with a pleading in her eye.&nbsp; Her grandmother wasn’t the nicest of people in social gatherings especially with so many ladies holding her opinion so high, and she was only worse behind closed doors.&nbsp; Autumn could already feel the sting of the punishment she would receive for this incident.<br>

				He rubbed his head as he had taken most of the blow from the landing on the floor, his head was spinning. He blinked a couple of times to try and clear his head, he wanted to move away from her and this position but she had him pined and his foot was caught in the folds of her skirts. “This is awkward…” he said with a bit of a smile on his face. <br><br>Then Lady Isabelle walked in, he heard her talking and felt Autumn stand up and adjust her self so she would look proper. He stood up shortly after her dusting his coat off a hand moving to her shoulder to steady her so she did not fall again.<br><br>He started to say something but was cut off by Lady Isabelle, so he waited for her to finish maybe he would not say anything at all. But when Autumn looked at him with pleading eyes he could not help him self but come to her defense, “Madam, I apologies it was simply a complete accident, and I assure you, your granddaughters honor is in tact.”&nbsp; <br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Lady Isabelle shook her head.&nbsp; “It doesn’t matter if her honor is intact dear sir, the fact is you have ruined her name with this little accident of yours.”&nbsp; She stared at him accusingly as two men joined her side casting accusing glances in Alexander’s direction.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The first of the men was the one that had nearly crushed Autumn’s feet, as he wasn’t very light on his own two.&nbsp; The second was the lord of the house, Lord Neville, who would do anything to prevent any scandal from taking place within his home.&nbsp; “Grandmother, you can’t think that I am guilty of doing anything wrong?&nbsp; I can’t speak for the gents intentions but I didn’t do anything out of line.”&nbsp; Autumn, near tears continued to plead her case.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Lady Isabelle, raised an eyebrow as she thought of what could be done to resolve the situation.&nbsp; “So what you’re saying is that his intentions were anything less than admirable?&nbsp; That he locked the door so that you couldn’t leave the room for his own pleasure?”&nbsp; They weren’t questions that were in need of an answer but accusations for the woman to get her own way.&nbsp; A fine catch for her granddaughter and a fine deed to restore the family’s name after the scandal Autumn’s mother had caused by marrying a commoner.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn knew that if she argued against the woman the punishment of the actions would be far worse than agreeing to them.&nbsp; “Yes, ma’am.”&nbsp; Autumn replied dropping her eyes to the ground.&nbsp; “It was all him.”<br>

				He started to say something, but was cut off once again by Lady Isabelle. The he gave amber a look of are you leaving me to this alone. He turned to the two men, he knew Lord Neville, a good man all about keeping face, and as for the big man he knew little about him besides his loving to ruin the reputations of other business owners.&nbsp; <br><br>He cleared his throat, anybody could tell his temper was rising, but he kept it under control. “Lady Isabelle, I know what it may seam, but what you saw was the product of a series of unexplained events.” <br><br>He took a deep breath, “I madam can prove it, if you look there you will see the door knob missing from, trying to unjam a door.” His words cut off as Lord Neville moved aside and it could be seen that the door knob was intact, he even tested it. Alex did not know what to say, he thought to him self looking for an escape besides marriage, maybe ritualistic suicide, he though to him self.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Lady Isabelle laughed at the door knob remark.&nbsp; “Dear sir not only do you stir scandal up for my good family but also attempt to make fools of us all.&nbsp; I guess this leaves me with little choice in the matter.”&nbsp; Her attention turned back to Autumn.&nbsp; “The two of you will marry in a quick ceremony to avoid anything further.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“No!”&nbsp; Autumn yelled rejecting any notion of such a subject.&nbsp; “You can’t force me to marry him, its not fair!&nbsp; I don’t want to marry him and you can’t force me to do so.”&nbsp; Her sobs coming quick, she wanted to go home not stay here as some uppity class Lords wife.&nbsp; “He did it and you expect me to oblige you in a marriage to a man that I don’t know and what little I do find despicable.”&nbsp; It wasn’t fair in the least.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“The two of you will marry and there will be no argument about it.&nbsp; If you hadn’t wanted your fates then the two of you should have never been alone is that understood?”&nbsp; Lord Neville’s voice was stern allowing Autumn no argument.<br>

				The suicide started to look very good at that moment, First of all they wanted him to marry a complete stranger, and secondly the words she said about his person almost made his heart brake. He had not known her long but she had no right to say that she found him despicable.<br><br>If this woman thought he was despicable, then he defiantly did not want to marry her. He spoke up in a voice on the bridge of anger, “You sir have no right to tell me and this woman how and when we should be married, we know nothing about each other and it would drag up more supsion if we rushed in to a marriage, with out even courting.”<br>

				&nbsp; <em>&nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn looked at Alexander a moment, admiring how he stood up for himself.&nbsp; She didn’t really find him despicable but she couldn’t admit that not in front of the looming three.&nbsp; “He’s right we can’t rush into a marriage without drawing suspicion.”&nbsp; Her own anger rising at being ignored.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Who said it was rushed?”&nbsp; Lady Isabelle asked.&nbsp; “The fact is you came back to London in order to marry.&nbsp; The lord of demar had been on business in the states and was instantly smitten with you and you with him.&nbsp; Your father gave his approval instantly and seeing that the gent had to return you were sent back a couple of months later to marry.&nbsp; It’s not rushed at all besides that will be the rumor.&nbsp; Unless of course we need to take this business to the queen who will see it my way and that much is true.”<br></em>

				Alexander blinked at the woman’s logic and it ran through his head. He had been in the states a wile back, but he was no where near where he thought Autumn mite be from, he was in the north, around New York.<br><br>He looked to Autumn giving her a look that said if you don’t want to get married help me out hear. Then she said the Queen, there was a shutter through his spine at the mere thought of going to the Queen about this, he tried to think of a way out of this but he was at a loss for words. <br><br>Then it hit him he looked to Neville then at her former dance partner, then back at Lady Isabelle. “You planed this, you were all in this, what did she promise you Neville?” Neville closed the doors to give them privacy.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When the door had closed behind the others, except for her grandmother, Autumn took Alexander by the hand and led him away from the peering woman’s ears.&nbsp; “Look there really isn’t any way out of this but I do have a plan if you’re willing to consider it.”&nbsp; She looked back at her grandmother making sure that she couldn’t hear.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“We will get married and as soon as the war is over you send me back to the states and divorce me.&nbsp; Whatever reason you wish to give for the divorce is fine, as I will be home put the blame on me.&nbsp; Once we are married you don’t even have to pretend to be a loving husband except for in front of people of course.”&nbsp; She looked up her eyes pleading with his as it was really their only hope.<br>

				When Autumn pulled him aside he turned to look at her, “I don’t know, the war is coming, but it could be a long time before it is over.” He paused to look at Lady Isabella then looked back at Autumn, “Marriage is not something I like to just jump in to, when you take my family name its not easy to get rid of it.” <br><br>He took a deep breath and looked in to her eyes, “I don’t know if it is right thing to do.” He then looked in to her pleading eyes and he sighed deeply, “if you think it is the right thing to do then I will do it.”<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“It’s not about right, sir, it’s about it being the only thing we can do.&nbsp; Unless of course you want to explain everything to the queen and have her order us into further humiliation.”&nbsp; Autumn turned to face her grandmother.&nbsp; “Fine we will be married as we really have no choice in the matter.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Lady Isabelle smiled.&nbsp; “Well then by the weekend the two of you will be married. I’m glad the two of you have come to your senses and accepted the fate that you chose.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn wanted to scream at the woman.&nbsp; How had she chosen the fate, the woman had done that all on her own with the insistence of marriage no matter what position Autumn was in.&nbsp; “Yes, grandmother.”&nbsp; Autumn said softly wishing the war was already over.<br>

				Alexander rubbed his temples and tried to stop the approaching head ache that was coming. He then looked up at Autumn, “So we are to be married by the end of the week, that gives us so little time to get to know each other.” He took in a deep breath and looked at Autumn waiting for Lady Isabella to leave.<br><br>He reached in to his coat pocket and removed a sliver ring with engraved bands on it. “I guess the announcement will have to be made tonight.” He paused and looked at her as he walked to her taking her hand in his as he slid the sliver ring on to her finger, it was beautiful, sliver with etching on the out side of it with sparkling small diamonds on it, “do not lose this, it belonged to an old friend of mine.” He seamed to hold her hand for a moment longer than he needed before he let her hand go.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn had thought about arguing against taking the ring, but he had a point it was custom.&nbsp; “Well we can get to know each other later I suppose.&nbsp; I do have to apologize for my grandmothers behavior though and all of this.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She really couldn’t blame him for hating her even if it wasn’t her fault for his being trapped by the woman.&nbsp; “I’ll try to stay out of your way and allow you to continue on the life you’re accustomed.”&nbsp; Autumn did know of a few wedded couples where the man kept his entertaining of other women and wives that didn’t argue against.&nbsp; She might attempt to stay away from the gossip but there were times she overheard things that a lady shouldn’t have.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“If you’re ready to get this over with then lead the way.”&nbsp; Autumn gave the best attempt she had at offering a friendly smile.&nbsp; Her eyes not looking at him as if she were happy to be in the situation or even that of a happy lover, maybe one day that would change but not now.<br>

				He took a deep sigh and looked at her, “I don’t think that would be wise, for me to see other women wile I am to be engaged to be married. I may not look like it but I am a man of honor and I will show you honor wile your to be my wife. It is only right.” <br><br>He held his arm out for her to take his arm in hers he straitened his cote and stood strait and stepped out of the room, he led her in to the hall with all the people. Most of them were dancing but the single ladies immediately noticed you were on his arm, he bowed to you and released your arm as he wondered over to Lord Neville.<br><br>The Lord Neville waited tell the music came to a stop before banging a spoon on a crystal glass, he moved to the podium and smiled at all the people, “Ladies and gentlemen, after this next dance we will have an announcement, that will instate playing a wedding waltz.” People gasped and mumbled to them selves as the music began to play again. <br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn nodded but she had meant after the wedding he could resume his life with little of her involvement.&nbsp; As for the rest of the week she was more than sure she would be to busy to give a thought to honor and what not.&nbsp; Before she knew she was standing within the crowd of people with their eyes gawking in the couple’s direction.&nbsp; She shifted uncomfortably and tried her best to place a smile on her face pretending she was happy to be there.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The gossip mongers turning instantly to discuss what the apparent reasoning for the announcement and sending hateful looks towards Autumn.&nbsp; She had expected that but well, it didn’t take the pain away of it as she had already been on their sharp tongues as of lately.&nbsp; “Why didn’t you tell me?”&nbsp; Amelia hissed into her ear pulling her back to the hall way.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Amelia, please!”&nbsp; Autumn exclaimed tears stinging at her eyes.&nbsp; “I’m sorry I know I should have said something earlier.”&nbsp; She was really trying to explain as she could see the pain clearly in her best friend’s eyes, the girl had really wanted a chance at the man and here she was preventing such a chance.&nbsp; Or was she?&nbsp; She could always play match maker between the two even if he wanted his honor Autumn felt it crossing the line to refuse him enjoyment.<br>

				The song played and he stood next to lord Neville, waiting for the dance to finish, he was nervous just from looking at him, but he did well to hide most of it. Lady Isabella leaned in to him and spoke in to his ear, reminding him to play this off well or the queen would defiantly be involved. A shiver went down his spine at the thought.<br><br>Soon as the music was finished Lord Neville banged the glass once again and this time Alexander moved to the podium. He looked over the cround of people looking up at him, escpecly all the single women wanting him to name them as his soon to be wife, <br><br>“Thank you Lord Neville and thank you everybody who has come. On this night of April I wish to announce my soon to be wife, Autumn Elene Richardson.” He held his hands out to take yours as you joined him at his side on the stage. There was a collective applause from the older married people, and fake applause from the single women. The band began to play a bridal waltz; he took your hand in his and moved to the dance floor, and began to dance.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn caught the sight of Amelia bolting out the door as she allowed Alexander to lead her from the room.&nbsp; Her heart sinking as her friend went even though a smile was pasted to her lips.&nbsp; Autumn’s eyes read anything but happiness as she fought the urge to cry, the jealous ladies no wiser though.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her mind quickly went to the dance and what she was doing as her fiancée led her around the dance floor perfectly, never once stepping on her feet, at least that part was good.&nbsp; “I’m sorry Lord Alexander.”&nbsp; She whispered before the dance ended.&nbsp; Not only had she dashed all of her best friends hopes and dreams but this man as well.&nbsp; He had done nothing to deserve the punishment that had been inflicted upon him.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Maybe one day the two could forgive her, though she didn’t expect it yet or even in the near future.&nbsp; None of this was fair to any of them, except for Lady Isabelle, who she swore to hate for a long time to come for the pain she was causing.&nbsp; “I think I need some fresh air.”&nbsp; Autumn said excusing herself as the music ended, and she headed outside.<br>

				He moved across the floor with her moving with grace, he saw her smile, but then he also saw the sadness in her eyes. He said nothing as they danced, when she spoke to him he figured he should have said something but he was lost in trying to keep up appearances.<br><br>When the dance ended and she excused her self he thought of going after her but he was soon attacked by the men with back slaps and hand shakes in congralations. He smiled and thanked them the older men trying to give him advice. <br><br>It was a good 10 minuets before he was free and he made his way to her side, outside making sure to lock the door this time to allow them to be alone, “This is not your fault, there was nothing you could have done to stop this.” He moved next to her and offered her his handkerchief. <br>

				He leaned aginsed the banister of the balcony, He paused and listening to her, ‘I don’t wish to marry anybody, the only reason I come to these balls is because of either business or my head maid sends back a RSVP.” He removed his coat and draped it over her shoulders the night was still chilly and cold. <br><br>He looked up at the stars in the night sky, “I have never meet a woman that I wanted to be with, all of them have turned in to chatty little girls who want nothing more than to talk about there daddies money.” He paused and looked in to her crying eyes as he did something odd, he pulled her close.<br><br>Up close he smelled musky like a man the smell was of also leather and the sweet sent of sweet grass. His arms were strong you could fell that and his chest was muscled and strong. He held her there for a moment, before looking down at her he shrugged, “Someone once said there’s opportunity in everything.” <br><br>He wiped a tear from her eye, “maybe this is the opportunity we truly are given,” he gave his head a&nbsp; shake and a small smile came to his face, “maybe fate locked that door so we would be together.” He laughed gently at that, “listen to me I sound like a romantic fool.”<br>

				There was more to his holding her than trying to be nice, people were pushing the curtain back and looking at them. He looked down at her and she could see why a lot of the women thought his eyes glowed like star light, because for a second you would have sworn that they were glowing.<br><br>He looked away at the door then back at her, “Well let’s try and make the best of what we have, let’s go back inside and take everybody’s congregations.

				Alexander had been trying to get them out of the party early all night. But all his attempts failed, he was speaking to a couple of older gentlemen when they saw her approach the men nodded at her aproch and spoke there congregations to the both of them, before excusing them selves."<br><br>There was one man who was left an older man his own wife on his arm, he smiled at Alexander and so did his wife, “My boy Alex why did you not tell me you were courting such a beautiful woman.” Alexander smiled at them and introduced you to them, <br><br>“This is lady and Sir Nelson, old business friends of mine.” They both laughed, as Sir Nelson spoke first, “more like pulled me out of the fire, I own this man much more than that.” The Miss. Nelson on his arm gave him a playful slap to his chest, “hunny don’t boar them with sad stories.” <br><br>He smiled at his wife, “it was more like a story of how some unknown man could save my house an businesses.” Alexander smiled and looked around, “It was nothing, but I must say my goodbyes, the hour is late and I must escort my soon to be wife and the Lady Isabella home.” They both nodded and smiled as he walked with you on his arm to the door, where Lady Isabella was wating.<br>

Whether this arranged marriage works out or not, as for the wedding you can talk to my head maid she will help you with the arrangements.”<br><br>Before she could speak he was loading her in to her carriage, he closed the door and turned to Autumn and smiled gently, “there is always hope, never forget that.

Alexander stood up and walked to her side trying to calm Julia down, “it’s ok Julia, I’ am sure that this is just a miss understanding.” <br><br>Julia threw up her hands and threw open the door and walked out, “Well if your new wife needs me I will be doing the helps work,” with that she slammed the door.

Outside Sir Nelson was standing waiting for his carnage, He blinked at Autumn and smiled, “trouble in paradise?” he asked ovesly overhearing the argument. <br><br>“Well I guess sense the wedding is off, I do not need these papers. He handed them to her, they are in your name just missing your signature.” Looking down she could see that they were addressed to her, her full name was written only Demar was on the end of it, the papers were meant to be signed after the wedding. <br><br>They stated that the money from the dowry was to be placed in a holdings for several companies, and that all profits were to be placed aside in a savings in the event you and your grandmother would need them. Nelson smiled and watched her. <br><br>Alexander made his way down the stairs and was staring at her desiding if he should talk to her or not.

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn handed the papers back to the man.&nbsp; “I have no need for them.&nbsp; Give them to the maid seeing that everything is of her business.”&nbsp; She said with a huff crossing her arms over her chest.&nbsp; “Now if you will excuse me I have to be going.”&nbsp; Autumn was still reeling mad over the whole situation especially the out of hand maid.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She would have never allowed any of her help to speak to Alexander that way.&nbsp; Her family had taught her to always treat them as family and pay them very well but to never allow them to step out of line to guest.&nbsp; How was she supposed to marry a man who would for one place her plans in the hands of his maid without so much as asking her and then allow the woman to speak to her so?<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It was clear to Mr.&nbsp; Nelson and anyone else that the driver was refusing to leave only adding to Autumn’s anger.&nbsp; The move was out of line but the driver had no choice but to interfere out of fear for the girl’s safety as he went to talk to Alexander.&nbsp; “Sir, I do not beg for much but this I do.&nbsp; If I take her back to the Mistress and all is known that she refuses to marry you then I fear for her life.&nbsp; Her mother may have escaped but the girl well she will be less likely to, sir.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He dropped his head and stared at his feet.&nbsp; “Sir if you would only be so kind as to force her into marriage for her own safety.&nbsp; As you can see sir she does have a passion in her even if she is stubborn sir and she would make any one a fine wife and I know within time she would come to love you but her anger is due to the Mistress it is and not to do with you sir.&nbsp; She was lied to sir that she was but I couldn’t say anything but I thought for sure everything would be worked out had she seen you but it was my mistake.”<br>

				He nodded to the man, “thank you…” Lord Nelson was soon in his own carriage and was riding off. Alexander stood there for a moment his temper still raging, “to hell with it he said to no one but him self.” <br><br>He rolled up his sleeves and walked out there and took her arm and pulled her to him, he then threw her over his shoulder showing his strength, and carried her inside with all her kicking and fussing, to much the amusement of the drivers. He walked in to a room that looked like a lounge and dropped her on one of the couches; he was angry as it was his time to yell. <br><br>“Now listen hear you spoiled little brat, I am not some little dandy to just be thrown away because you are too stubborn to listen to reason, I am trying my damedest to help you and you storm in to my house insult two of my closest friends. Then you insult me, Julia is more than my maid, she is my close personal friend who I go to for advice on things I have no idea on, like what suite matches the flowers you pick out.” He glared at her and she for a moment could see his eyes glow silver, before he turned away and pored him self a drink downing it.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn stood there unsure of how she should react to what had just happened.&nbsp; Her grandmother threatening to tell lies and then Alexander had, had, she didn’t know it all had happened so fast.&nbsp; She wasn’t angry with him for what he had done but confused as to what he was and how he had done that.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Lady Isabelle’s eyes widened and she was horrified by what had happened.&nbsp; She tried to scream and no sound came from her.&nbsp; The fear of what had just happened sending her from the room and the house as fast as she could.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Autumn finally managed to force her feet to move coming up behind him.&nbsp; She placed a hand on his shoulder lightly.&nbsp; “Lord Alexander what just happened?”&nbsp; She finally managed more worried about him than her grandmother though she probably should have worried more for the elder woman and herself.<br>

				He looked back at her and smiled, “umm looks like she was struck speechless.” Julia spotted the old woman running around, she sighed and carefully as she could helped the woman calm down, placing her in a chair, She handed her a glass of water letting Lady Isabella drink from it. <br><br>It barely took more than a few sips and Lady Isabella was sleeping with her head on the table. Some of the servants at Julia’s demand helped to take the Lady Isabella to the guest room to let her sleep. <br><br>Alexander looked at you a small smile on his face, “She will be fine just needs to calm down, he helped you back to your seat, “sit down I will answer any questions you have.” <br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn took the seat that was offered her, but patted the seat next to her for him to sit.&nbsp; “What are you?”&nbsp; She managed after a few moments, several deep breaths before.&nbsp; “I mean how did you do that?&nbsp; No I mean what are you?”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She wanted to know what he was and who he was and how he had done that, oh, how she had a million questions as to what was all going on.&nbsp; “I mean you scared Lady Isabelle and no one does that I think the queen herself is even afraid of the woman but not you.&nbsp; You scared her speechless.”&nbsp; Autumn beamed from ear to ear that someone wasn’t afraid of her awful grandmother.<br>

To her, I simply took her voice away and sealed it in a binding spell, tell she learns her lesions.” <br><br>He leaned back in the couch they were sitting on, he took her left hand din his as he slid the ring on to her finger, “as for what I am, that’s a bit harder to anser, but I will try and keep it simple as I can. I am a person trying to live a normal life, so please do not tell anybody.” <br><br>He took a deep breath and you see him tence up, “what I am is hard to explain, but I guess the only way to put it is I am a half god.” He paused and waiting for her to stoke it all up.

I have powers and abilities but none of the status of a god.” <br><br>He looked down then back at her, “I am not lying, my mother is going to be hear tomorrow to over see the wedding. That’s what I meant when I said you could not just take my last name and fall in to the background.

				Alexander looked down at the floor at her jokes, it kind of looked like he was hurt by her words and it would come to the understanding why he did not tell just anybody about theses kind of things. He waited for her to finish, he then looked up at her, “one of the things you will need to learn about me is I do not lie, you will see tomorrow.” He looked back at her his eyes were not glowing just a dull silver, “any other questions?”

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn took his hand and stood from the chair letting him lead her out of the room.&nbsp; The planning should have really been dealt with as there was so much to do and only a few days before, though she wasn’t going to argue.&nbsp; It really was a lot to do but she understood the point of not wanting or even knowing how to be involved.&nbsp; The day was really turning out to be nice as the sun was shining brighter than it had been before and the air nicely warm though the chill would be back at sunset.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You do have to tell me though with the raven cawing just what was it he was saying?”&nbsp; Autumn’s attention taking the moment a carriage started up the drive.&nbsp; “Amelia!”&nbsp; She exclaimed.&nbsp; “She did come after all.”&nbsp; Autumn looked all excited from Alexander to the carriage as she dropped his hand and darted off in the direction of her friend.&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The young woman stepping from the carriage was the opposite of Autumn.&nbsp; Her hair as blond as corn silk hung in curls in the back where Autumn’s was more for day ware at the moment.&nbsp; Amelia’s pink low cut dinner gown shown more than Autumn’s yellow day gown, as the woman’s corset was pulled tighter than Autumn would ever dream of wearing.&nbsp; Autumn took a look at her friend and everything about her was for the night hour and not so much the day hour.&nbsp; “You look lovely, Amelia.”&nbsp; Autumn offered taking her friends hand making sure that everything she said was polite.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;She might have felt a sting of jealousy, but she really wanted to make amends with her friend and there was no reason to have another argument due to one’s jealousy.&nbsp; “Come Alexander and I were just talking about you.”&nbsp; She said knowing it was a lie as she led her to meet Alexander.&nbsp; “Lord Alexander this is Amelia Randolph my oldest and dearest friend.”<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“It’s a pleasure.”&nbsp; The girl’s strong English accented voice said softly as she curtseyed before him.&nbsp; Amelia’s own jealousy hidden quite well though she had no plans of being jealous for long.&nbsp; <br>

				He bowed to Amelia taking her hand gently in his hand and kissed it gently before he released it, “It is very nice to finally meet you, I have heard Autumn has told me so much about you. All good trust me.” He smiled and looked her over he saw she was dressed for evening.<br><br>“I can say we were not expecting you tell later tonight for dinner,” He paused and looked to Autumn, then Back to Amelia, he could see the difference between them and it was playing in his head. “We were just about to go for a walk, would you care to join us, or should we stay hear and have lunch?”<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“A walk sounds wonderful.”&nbsp; Amelia said placing her arm in the crook of his.&nbsp; “I know that I’m relatively early but I couldn’t refuse or wait when I got the invitation from Autumn.&nbsp; I do have to apologize for my early leave of the ball last night I was quiet looking forward to our dance but I assumed that you would rather dance with your fiancée.”&nbsp; She said with a polite smile.&nbsp; “I must say your gardens are absolutely beautiful this time of year.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn felt the slight bit ignored by her friend and uncomfortable with the looks from Alexander.&nbsp; “You two run go ahead of me.&nbsp; I have some things to do.”&nbsp; Autumn was trying to hide any and all emotions she had over the situation.&nbsp; True she had wanted to make both happy and had pushed for it but well it didn’t hurt any less.&nbsp; Autumn excused herself from the two and headed back into the house.&nbsp; She didn’t want to return to the library in case the raven showed back up it wasn’t as if she was taught in how to understand their cawing so the kitchen seemed the logical solution as she took a seat at the table.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“So tell me just how it is you met Autumn?&nbsp; I heard something about your meeting her on a business trip in the states?”&nbsp; Amelia’s brown eyes twinkled up at him.<br>

				He tried to pull away from Amelia to speak to Autumn, but Amelia dragged him off on the walk. He finally gave in looking at Autumn he could see some kind of emotion going on even as she tried to hold it back. <br><br>Alexander, gave in and desisted he would talk to her when they got back to the house. He turned to Amelia and smiled, “yes, it was a shame to miss the dance.” He was debating on whether he should lie to her but he was a terrible liar.<br><br>“Well that is not interlay true,” he led her in to one of the parks. Walking with Amelia, “it’s more of a forced marriage,” he explained what happened that night being careful to not have anybody over hear them. <br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; And with his openness he had given Amelia everything she needed.&nbsp; “You poor thing being forced into marrying Autumn.”&nbsp; A slight pout on her lips.&nbsp; “I mean it’s awful and to think I thought I knew Autumn and here she goes trapping you in a room with her so that her grandmother could force you to marry her.&nbsp; But who could really blame her I mean you are a very handsome man and most of the ladies are dying from heartbreak now that you are marrying.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Although Amelia pretended to be upset it really was funny to her and well it helped in having something to give the gossip mongrels.&nbsp; He may not have wanted anyone to hear them but well how humiliated was Autumn going to be when word got out, though Amelia would never admit to doing such damage.&nbsp; “So how are you handling everything then?”&nbsp; She asked feigning concern quiet well.<br>

				He raised an eye brow at her and something inside of him sent a flag up that something was wrong. Alexander nodded, “Yeah I guess, I know she did not trap me in there on purpose, it was more my fault than anything else.” He kept her distracted as he moved them around to head back to the house.<br><br>There was something about this woman that made him want to get to Autumn and make sure she was all right. “As for what I am to do, I will marry Autumn and keep both her honor and mine intact.

				Alexander allowed her to direct him down a different path, and when she took a deep breath and her breast moved like they were going to brake free he could not help but let his eye wonder down to them. He looked ahead at the path as they walked, “I do not think so Autumn is not that kind of person I can tell.” <br><br>This path was empty and few people would travel down it, “Sure so tell me how is your family?” Alexander did not know her family to well, in truth he did not know much about any of the families.<br>

				He nodded and smiled at her, walking with her through the park, “Well I think we should head back I fell badly about leaving Autumn behind.” He turned them around and began to walk back to the house. “Well I hope you meet the right man to marry, that will make you happy.” <br><br>He walked with her moving back to the house not stopping or detouring from the path, that sense that something was wrong was annoying him like a buzzing insect. “Well do you have any men in mind for marriage?” <br>

				There were several doors and all the rooms were very well decorated, Julia was folding some laundry when she spotted you and&nbsp; turned to allow you to pass before she walked in to Alexander’s room, You got a peek and inside was a large bead with beautiful carvings and his smell the smell of leather and sweet grass could be smelt, It was not a bad odor but one that was soothing to the mind.<br>The library was full of books and no Ravens, Soon a servant approached you smiling, “miss your things are in your room,” The house was warm and cozy like cuddling in to a soft blanket. At least to Autumn and Alexander. <br><br>Alexander walked in to the house and took off his jacket, “I will go and see about Autumn, make your self at home.” He walked up stairs to find her, “Autumn I am back.”<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn had never allowed a man to kiss her in such a way before and well it was tantalizing and slightly had her nervous as well.&nbsp; She really should stop him, they weren’t supposed to be in such a manner not until their wedding night and well they still had a couple of days to go.&nbsp; But feelings within her stirred, feelings she had never felt before and they felt more than good as she grew moist between her thighs.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“I do like the way you smell.”&nbsp; She moaned as he continued to nuzzle at her neck.&nbsp; Autumn hoped he could contain his control as she wasn’t quite sure she could not the way her body was acting.<br>

				Taking in her sent and the felling of her skin he could fell his control slipping, he should wait for there wedding night. He through to him self and he nibbled lightly on her earlobe. His hands moving down her back, but when she moaned, he lost control. <br><br>“and I love the way you smell, and the softness of your skin,” His lips kissed her lower neck his hands moving to work on the back of her dress undoing the laces holding it up her dress. He then broke the kiss of her neck and he lifted her in his strong arms as he carried her up to his bed room. He kissed her wile walking up the stairs. He kicked the door open and then closed; he laid her on his bed, moving to kiss her lips as he moved over her, “I think I want the wedding night right now.” He said his hands undoing the laces of her dress.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Everything was happening so fast as one moment Autumn was on the couch and then she found herself in his bed.&nbsp; Autumn just as eager as Alexander, all except for the words of her grandmother calling her those names that began to play out in her head.&nbsp; If she were to give in to her own desire wouldn’t that make her grandmother right in her name calling?&nbsp; “Please, stop.”&nbsp; Autumn asked stopping his hands from undoing her laces any further, her eyes looking at him in a pleading manner.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It wasn’t that she didn’t want him just as badly as he did her, but Autumn knew it wasn’t right not before the wedding night.&nbsp; If he still wanted her then she would more than happily give herself to him.&nbsp; But with everything that was going on surrounding them she really wanted to wait, at least by waiting she had that much respect regardless if anyone else respected her after the forced marriage or not.<br>_____________________<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Meanwhile, back in the city the rumor was already going around that the whole wedding of Autumn and Alexander was not what he had told the night before.&nbsp; Autumn and her grandmother had forced the poor Lord Alexander of Demar into a marriage that he didn’t want.&nbsp; Word had it that Autumn had convinced him into a provocative situation allowing her grandmother to discover them, and Lord Alexander was only marrying the girl due to honor though Lord Alexander had never done anything wrong and it had all been a scheme to cover up the fact that Autumn was with child.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The ladies of their social circle all laughed at Autumn, even if it was behind her back.&nbsp; The Lord’s found pity with Alexander and scorned the thought of the young beautiful Autumn as they could have easily found themselves in Alexander’s position.&nbsp; Everyone vowing to attend the wedding upon invite to offer sympathy to the Lord Alexander and nothing but dirty looks for Autumn.<br>

				Her hands on his made him snap back to his mind, he rubbed his head for a moment calming down and he looked down at her. “I am sorry I lost control there,” he moved off of her and sat on the edge of his bed. He sighed and looked at her, “forgive me I sometimes have trouble controlling my lust at times.” <br><br>He hugged her to him self and kissed her lips gently this time, he then let her go and stood up striating his clothing. Then there was a knock at the door, then the sound of Julia’s voice, “Alexander Lord Nelson is on the phone for you.” He nodded and hugged you kissing you one more time on his knees in fount of you as you sat on the edge bed, “I will wait for you, it will make the wedding night all the more better. I will be back in a bit.” <br><br>He stood up and walked to the door then was gone, he had a phone installed in the house for business, he sat down to talk, Lord Nelson was asking about The rumors going around, he confided in Lord Nelson and told him the truth. Lord Nelson agreed that Alexander was doing the right thing. <br><br>He hung up the phone, thinking for a moment the only people who would have known was, Autumn, Lady Isabella, Julia and Amelia. He sighed and picked up the phone to do some diging on Amelia’s family and find out how they really were.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The funny thing about the whole rumor situation was that Autumn was far from being with child.&nbsp; The lady was still a virgin if Alexander hadn’t noticed in her refusal until the wedding night.&nbsp; If he investigated far enough it would be easy to see that Amelia’s family was in debt and her father facing debtor’s jail if he didn’t come up with the finances to cover his debts.&nbsp; Amelia’s plan was to earn the name of Lady of Demar in hopes of helping her father and living out the life as a rich Lady and until the wedding her plan was still in action, if the Lord of Demar were to actually go through with this little game she would definitely need to switch her plans but either way rather a bride or mistress her families future would be&nbsp; secure.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The butler answered the light knocking on the door and accepted the white envelope with the crest of one of the most prominent Lord and Lady in the area.&nbsp; “This is for you sir.”&nbsp; He said handing the envelope over to Alexander, an invite to a dinner that night for Alexander and his future bride.&nbsp; The note inside said that Lord Logan would not take no for an answer.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn struggled with the laces on the back of her dress a problem she hadn’t had that morning due to having a maid but now with none it was harder than she ever thought.&nbsp; She frowned at her efforts but it wasn’t like she could ask anyone, Julia still despised her even with her effort to make amends.&nbsp; It would just have to do at least until time to change for dinner, at least she could hang about in her own room, she thought before retiring there in hopes of hiding her problem.<br>

				Alexander sat back looking at the invitation, what most did not know was he was stubborn and he was smart, he knew how to move pieces across the board without causing to much trouble. He put the invasion on the desk and leaned back in his chair the invite was for 6:00 it was 2:00. He sighed and wrote and wrote and RSVP and handed it to the butler. Have this delivered to the Lord Logan’s residence, then tell Autumn I would like to see her in my office.<br><br>He leaned back and thought for a moment, he knew Autumn was not with child, for one thing he did not need magic to tell, he could tell in the way she kissed the way her body moved when he held her, she was still pure and even if she was not he still would have married her and taken the child as his own.<br><br>Out side Julia was cleaning the floors as she spotted Autumn walking by and she saw your dress, she sighed deeply and walked behind Autumn in to her room, “Dear, let me help you with that,” she began to do up the laces, tieing a beautiful bow with the laces. <br><br>She sighed, “I am to head to the market this evening then to the training house to hire on a few girls to help you around the house, they will be your maids, secondly is there any thing you like food wise, or anything that will make you sick I should know about?” The butler soon showed up and knocked, “Madam Autumn, the master wishes to see you in his study.” At that he left the women be. <br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Thank you.”&nbsp; Autumn said sweetly as Julia tied her bow there was no sign of sarcasm in her voice and there wasn’t meant for any to be there.&nbsp; “I am fine with whatever it is you would like to purchase I have no allergies that I know of.&nbsp; But I would very much like it if I could join you this evening?&nbsp; I mean just to see how it is you do things and I promise to keep my mouth shut unless you ask me something.”<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn nodded at the butlers words.&nbsp; “I will be in, in a moment.” She said before turning her attentions back to Julia.&nbsp; “I think that I need to see what it is Alexander needs, but I really do want to go to the market and the training house.”&nbsp; Autumn kissed the woman on the cheek before leaving, a thank you for tying up her laces.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn gave a slight knock on the office door before pushing it open.&nbsp; “You wished to see me?”&nbsp; She asked as she entered the office still slightly embarrassed by what had happened earlier, and finding him more attractive as well.<br><br>

He took a deep breath still&nbsp; holding her, “I did a little digging in to her families satis her father is close to being in deters prison, her mother is spending money like it grows on trees, I think Amelia is looking for a way out and I think she has set her sites on me.” He paused to let all this sink in.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn let him pull her to his lap though she didn’t understand why the rumors.&nbsp; Everything had been fine and everyone had believed his announcement the night before so why would they change their minds and begin to talk to her of such a nature.&nbsp; “I don’t understand.”&nbsp; She said shaking her head.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“No one knew besides my grandmother and the two of us so how would Amelia even know?&nbsp; I mean I never told her anything as you’re the one who spent the morning with her.”&nbsp; It all dawned on Autumn that he had told her adding to her embarrassment.&nbsp; It was bad enough to discover that your friend wasn’t your friend not when she spreaded lies as to Autumn being with child but she wouldn’t have had anything to spread had Alexander not told her anything.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn stood from his lap moving away from him.&nbsp; She studied the rug for a long moment before speaking, yet never looking at him.&nbsp; “I suppose you got your revenge for being forced into a marriage that you didn’t want.”&nbsp; Autumn had gotten caught up in the whole fairy tale part of things that she hadn’t really thought of anyone besides her grandmother being the villain and it was quiet clear to her that Alexander wasn’t the man she thought him to be.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“I am going with Julia to the market and you will have to attend the dinner alone without me.”&nbsp; She said battling the tears that threatened to fall.&nbsp; “And Alexander, I will have revenge on your playing into lies and announcing an engagement that I didn’t want due to your honor, sir.&nbsp; Had you not I wouldn’t be in this situation but where was your honor when you helped destroy what little of the good reputation I held?”&nbsp; She left the room waiting for Julia in the sitting room.<br>

				Alexander felt her little kiss and it tasted odd on his lips. Unlike Autumns kisses that tasted like honey mead on his lips, looking down at her as she sat there, he was going to play her game, for now. He moved to sit beside her and looked at her studding her, “If I do not marry her then my honor will be the problem, then some of my business partners would back out on me.” He leaned back on the couch, “Unless there is no way for us to have our cake and eat it too.” <br><br>“Oooh more like an Aunt, I rember when he was little, he went through a fit of lying about everything, but his mother wanted to put a stop to it, so she put a little hex on him that every time he lies he gets the hiccups.

				He looked at her hand on his leg, he smiled at her, “I do have an idea, how about I take you as my mistress,” it was a popular thing back then for a man to take a mistress on the side. “I will pay for you to have a place to stay and live, I will help your father get out of the debt that he is in, I marry Autumn and carry on as the happy couple, all you have to do is replace these roomers and everybody will be happy.” <br><br>He looked at her for a moment, then he smiled once again, “Or I could take this matter up with the queen, and say you are spreading lies and seditions, I will have proof of your lies, and your family name will be dragged through the mud, and your father will wind in jail, you mother will try and find another man to keep her in the life she loves, your brothers will be forced to be servants, and you will be on the streets, wile Autumn and I weather the storm of the roomer mill.” he smiled wickedly leaning in to her as he pulled her chin to his, he kissed her gently, “rember you need me more than I need you.” <br><br>Julia smiled at her and spoke to a keeper byeing more food; she then began to walk to the training house. She winked at her question, “Yep, if he lies he will begin to hiccup uncontrollably.” At the training house witch

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Yes, why wouldn’t I be?”&nbsp; Autumn asked looking up at him as he held her close.&nbsp; “I can’t lie I hope to never have to see those people again.”&nbsp; A light giggle flowed from her lips.&nbsp; “They really were strange and I can see why all of the ladies drool after Lord Logan he was attractive but strange.”&nbsp; She added.&nbsp;

				Alexander smiled and pushed some hair from her face, “well that sweetie is because he is a vampire, they are rare and most remain hidden from the world and you are a virgin that is like waving a juicy stake in front of a hungry wolf.” He smiled and looked down at her, “don’t worry he won’t touch you or he will fell my rage, I made that clear.”<br><br>He then smiled at her and leaned down and kissed her lips lovingly holding her close, he loved her lips he loved kissing them, they were like honey in his mouth. He held on to the kiss for quite a wile, before braking it keeping his face close to hers, ‘of coarse if your scared you can sleep in my bed tonight,” he said with a smile.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“A vampire?”&nbsp; Autumn hadn’t gotten an answer as his lips were on hers and she was very much enjoying the kiss.&nbsp; Her eyes twinkled as she looked up from after the kiss had broken, he definitely made her feel like the woman she every bit was.&nbsp; Autumn had no doubt that she was safe with Alexander, she didn’t think that she had ever felt unsafe with him even when he had been mad at her earlier that morning.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn scooted closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder.&nbsp; “I’m not scared.”&nbsp; She said softly though with the way she was feeling she probably wouldn’t refuse sleeping in his bed.&nbsp; “Wouldn’t people talk if I did?”&nbsp; She asked as she gathered courage to do so.<br>

Either way I want you?” <br><br>He looked in to her eyes for a moment before kissing her again, and then he kissed down her neck, “But I will not take you to my bed if you do not wish it.” He said in her ear, he took her hand in his, “I will say this there is nothing to be afraid of.”<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn let a soft moan as he kissed down her neck.&nbsp; She really questioned why she cared what people thought as they seemed to think whatever they wanted regardless of truth.&nbsp; It also wasn’t as if sleeping in his bed would tarnish her reputation further and there was the benefit of not being stared at by the vampire should she run into him again.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn wished she was as intelligent in this area as other women when it came to seduction but her parents had spent a good bit of time keeping her in a very sheltered life.&nbsp; Her fingers entwined with his as she liked the way it felt when he held her close and when he held her hand.&nbsp; “We will see what the night holds.”&nbsp; She said softly brushing a kiss across his lips.<br>

				Alexander smiled at this and kept holding her hand in his, and holding her close for the rest of the carriage ride. He would steal a kiss hear and there, trying to control him self. When the ride finally ended he kissed her one last time in the dark of the carriage, before stepping out helping her out of the carriage.<br><br>He walked with her up to the door as it was opened by Julia, she smiled at the both of them, Alexander removed his coat and hat. He smiled at Julia, “did mother say what time she would be in?” Julia nodded, ‘Early morning.” <br>

				Alexander smiled at Autumn, “Sleep well,” he spoke to Julia for a bit, then him self he went to bed. He un dressed him self and dressed in a night shirt, He looked out at the night and smiled, the woman in the next room was on his mind. He sat on the bed for a moment. He lay back but could not stop thinking about her in the other room, He sighed and looked out his window at the moon.

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Autumn waited for Alexander to come to her room she had thought that what she had said in the carriage ride had been clear.&nbsp; But maybe he was busy there was really no telling what all Julia had needed to discuss with him and it wasn’t like she could just go to his room not without raising an eyebrow or two.&nbsp; The look on Julia’s face might have been priceless but she really couldn’t afford to make her another enemy.<br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Autumn’s eyes refused to close or at least stay closed and the large bed felt more than empty as she slept alone.&nbsp; Not that Autumn knew what a full bed felt like.&nbsp; She turned on her side and looked out the window, the moon seeming to smile back at her, she thought as she pulled the blankets up.<br>

He smiled down at her eyes closed as he slid in to the bed with her pulling her close to his warm body.<br><br>He could fell her night gown on her as his arms wrapped around her and his lips moved to her neck, kissing her lightly, his hand moved over her hips gently down to her leg.

				Alexander smiled as he had autumn under the blankets; his head was in between her legs his tong working over her, showing her new things he could do to her. His hands were on her hips, lifting her up his tong diving in to her. He lips were like honey to him, but her juices that flowed from her were like smooth honey mead. He drank deeply of her sucking and licking her all over.<br><br>&nbsp;He pushed her close to her orgasm then he stopped and moved over her, “a lady should not finish her meal before the gentleman has his soup, with that he pushed him self in to her thrusting abet harder this time smiling at her his eyes glowing with lust and a playfulness.<br><br>The Lady Freya drank of her tea and she seamed to radiate beauty, she had a body that would make every woman jealous, and would make any mortal man get on his knees and beg. She smiled at the maids giggling, as Julia walked behind them, “I believe you have some things that need to be doing.” As he walked in and sat with the Lady Freya.<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Autumn was in awe of everything he was doing to her.&nbsp; Kissing places of her that she had never thought would ever be kissed.&nbsp; Her moans anything but light playing out over the gardens through the opened door way like a siren singing to a captain to come home.&nbsp; Her hips rolling lightly as he sucked and licked at her. <br>&nbsp; <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The glorious feeling from the night before returning to her only to be stopped as Alexander thrust himself into her wet core.&nbsp; Each thrust bringing her back to her orgasm, her eyes remained on his glowing ones until they were forced shut by her orgasm.&nbsp; Her body arching into his and her moans flowing down to the giggling maids as she screamed his name, her bodies juices flowing on his manhood, her body milking him.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Yes, Ms. Julia.”&nbsp; The brunette said giggling at the sounds radiating from upstairs.&nbsp; One more look at the lady and they headed back to the kitchen to make sure more water was boiling for the mistresses bath as her water was growing cold.<br>

				Alexander groaned and felt her orgasm, He was teaching her but now he learned just the right place to hit her and make her orgasm. He groaned as he juices coved him and her body milked him, as he could not help but to cum hard inside of her. <br><br>He smiled at her looking down at her, leaning to kiss her lips, he was breathing hard, as he smiled at her he pulled him self out of her and moved off the bed, “Mmm that was wonderful” he said she could taste her own juices still on his tong. <br><br>He found his pants sliding them on along with his shirt, “ I will see you down stairs.” Alex left the room and both of the maids blushed and smiled at him as he walked past. He walked in to his room and found the basin of water washing and soon he was dressed, he walked down stairs and saw his mother in the sitting room, Julia stood and walked out.<br><br>Alexander smiled and his mother stood and took him in her arms kissing his cheek, “mmm it is so good to see my little boy again.” Alexander blushed and pulled away, “Mother it is good to see you too,” They both sat down as Freya smiled, “where is this new bride of yours?” Alex smiled, “She will be down soon.”<br>

The quickness of his leaving stinging at her a moment.&nbsp; &nbsp;The two maids were soon in giggling as one picked up her night gown and the other waited for her to rise from the bed.&nbsp; The whispers of just how beautiful Freya was did have her concerned as she hadn’t a clue as to what to wear or how to present herself no one had told her anything. The brunette quickly left the room in search of Julia as the blond was left to help Autumn.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn wrapped the sheet around her as she scurried to the wash room, sinking her body into the warm water.&nbsp; The jasmine scented water relaxing her muscles relieving her of any aches that she may have felt as she washed herself clean.&nbsp; “Madam please do hurry they are waiting for you downstairs.”&nbsp; The maid pleaded.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Please don’t rush me.”&nbsp; Autumn said hushing the woman her nerves already a jumbled mess.&nbsp; “Where is Julia?”&nbsp; Autumn asked more in a pleading tone as she wrapped a towel around her frame and hurried back across the hall way to her room.&nbsp; The sounds of dresses being torn from the hangers and thrown to the bed as she couldn’t find the perfect one, might have been heard down stairs.<br>

Freya, took a napkin and put some of the eggs on the bisket and took a bite, “do not worry about the wedding dear after you tell me everything you want I will make it happen, that way you can focuses on getting to know my son better.” She gave a giggle, “and I see he all ready knows you pretty well in bed.”<br>

				Alexander was angry, he would have stood next to her and believe in her, but he was to old to put up with a child who could not handle any kind of criticism, all she dose is get angry if anybody says anything about her that is even the smallest little thing that may or may not overstep in to there personal life.

He made his way up to Autumn, he looked at her as he walked in, <br><br>“Ok first off why did you storm off, you could have waited a few to let me cool down, and why are you so angry when my mother expressed her opinion of you. So are you telling me you are so conceded that no body can express there opinion about anything that my cridsise you, in the least should I warn my family and friends when they talk to you don’t say anything to me in private because you may be listing.” <br><br>The butler walked to the door and Alex raised his hand and the doors slammed shut and locked, “Were not being entrapped, we need to talk alone.”<br>

				&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“You’re wrong Alexander, you are so far wrong.”&nbsp; He may be older than her but Autumn wasn’t as stupid as to believe the way he did, she knew better.&nbsp; “If you loved me you would have never allowed your mother to speak of me in such a way.&nbsp; If you loved me you would have defended me then but no you didn’t and when I did you want to put me down as well.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Autumn took a deep breath.&nbsp; “Alexander you tell me I need to grow up, in all truth it’s you who needs to grow up.&nbsp; I could have easily turned on you when you cast a spell on my grandmother but I didn’t.&nbsp; I could have gone to the queen I could have easily told everyone that you were a witch but I didn’t.&nbsp; I would have never thought to turn on you no matter how much I may disagree with you on something but you don’t mind doing that to me.&nbsp; You don’t mind telling me how wrong I am when I don’t see eye to eye with you or your family.&nbsp; I could say that you acted irrationally when it came to my grandmother but I didn’t and now you stand there telling me to grow up when I stood up to your mother.”<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Autumn gave one more tug of the ring and pulled it from her finger.&nbsp; She placed it in his hand.&nbsp; “Just go.”&nbsp; Her heart was breaking in a million pieces but it was clear to Autumn that Alexander and her would never be happy because she wasn’t going to be the woman that would submit to his family no matter who they were and that’s what he was asking of her, something she couldn’t nor wouldn’t give.<br>

				She was not the only one who had a broken heart; he took the ring and looked at her, “what am I to do Autumn?” He looked at her his anger was gone; he was holding the ring looking at her. “So you want me to just walk away, leave you be. Then you will never see me again. All you have to do is say it.”

				Alexander paused and looked at her, “I do not expect that of you, I want you to be my wife, but this is a two way street. All I am asking is if you do not like something my family said then don’t yell at them. Talk to them, talk to me. I was not mad at your argument, I was mad because you were yelling at my mother and throwing insults her way making it worse. When you could have talked to her and things would have been better and I would have most likely taken your side.”

				“That’s because I never got the chance,” he looked at her stepping forward, “ She said that about you and then you began to yell before I could even say another word.” He sighed, “Autumn I think before I speak, and try and order my thoughts before I speak to my mother, not just yell at her when she says something bad about a person, even if I love them, that in my family has lead to deaths. I had barely a moment to think before you were yelling at her and that angered me.”

But I do agree that they should not have said that” <br><br>He paused when she brought up Amelia, “yes I made a mistake with Amelia, as for your grandmother she could have done much worse than Amelia ever could have, but I did not run away from my mistake and I want to ask you. Why did you not stand up to your grandmother when she was ploting to trun you in to her little pawn, if you understand that question then you should understand why I did not yell at my mother." <br><br>

But this is not going to happen overnight, for either of us." He looked up at her, "relaships are hard, but I want to make this one work. " he gently kissed her hands, "i think maybe we should, push the wedding back, maybe a month or two." He placed his hand on her face and looked at her, "give us some time to get to know each other. I dont care what anybody has to say about it, wether it be the roomers or our families, lets do what is good for the both of us."

Do not take it off” He sighed deeply standing up. <br><br>“I said I love you Autumn, and I meant that.

				Alexander found his way home; he walked in and sighed deeply. He was mentally tired, but he could not rest. He walked in to his library and found a book, he pulled it out and there was a click and a secret door opened. <br><br>He walked down a set of stairs, he lit some candles with a snap of his fingers and the room was lit. Inside was a room filled with shelves with old books on them, boxes that contain all kinds of different exodic magical things, and in the center of the room was a copper circle used for summoning and binding, he sighed and took a book off the shelves and sat at a near by desk. <br><br>He opened it and began to read, he wanted to keep his mind occupied and right now this was the best way, at least he though. “So where is you soon to be wife,” Alex looked up he seamed to recognize the voice, an old man stepped out of the shadows, he had a long beard and was dressed in a trench coat. He picked one of the books off a shelf and looked it over. Alexander sighed, “Grandfather, well she is mad at me and to tell the truth I am not sure why?” The old man put the book away, “Well sounds like you are too much like your mother, stubborn and unable to see your own faults.” Alexander looked at the old man and raised and eye brow. <br><br>The old man smiled, “You mother is just the same pointing out everybody’s mistakes, but your own take a little wisdom from an old man. Give her some time to relax, and your self some time to think, then go and speak to her.” The old man then walked out of the room. Alexander did not take wisdom from his grand father lightly, as he seamed to think it over.<br>

				“Never again,” He said as he picked her up in his strong arms he let her rest her head on his shoulder as he carried her. He walked to a spot in the room, “close your eyes” he said as he whispered a few words and they vanished from the room, and the both of them were standing in his room. <br><br>He took her to his bed as he lay her down, he looked down at her as he smiled and kissed her lips lovingly, “I will never leave you again.” he whispered as she could see the open balcony and the moon light showing the room, this was home and he was there with her. <br><br>He let her go as he striped his clothing off and crawled in to bed next to her pulling her close to him kissing her deeply his arms around her holding her to him.<br>

				Autumn embraced him as they kissed, she was home but there was one thing that she really needed and that was to wait to make love again.&nbsp; “Alexander, please, not until we are married.”&nbsp; She loved him and understood that part of celebrating that love was to make love but nothing had been the way she had thought.<br><br>“I want to wait until after we are married.”&nbsp; She tried to explain not sure if he was going to be mad about the situation or not.&nbsp; “I know that I wasn’t saying that last night but I’m sorry I can’t until we are married.”<br>

				He smiled and her and kissed her gently, he still had his undergarments on, “thats fine, I can wait" he leaned down and kissed her deeply on the lips, before settling next to her holding her close. As he watched her letting her sleep in his arms, as he soon fell asleep with her.

				Alexander was also sleeping in late, he had his arms around her holding her close. He moved lightly as she began to stir, but he did not wake up.<br><br>Down in the kitchen Julia was not alone, she was sitting at the table with Freya and another woman, and she was not quite as beautiful as Freya but she was beautiful, she had brown hair and looked more motherly. They both were eating breakfast, with Julia. <br><br>Freya was the first to speak up, “They had a hard day yesterday let them sleep.” The other woman spoke up smiling, “Yes but they do need to get the wedding going I thank you need Autumn to get fitted for her dress. But I guess they could use more sleep.” Julia nodded, "let her sleep, if there not up in two hours wake them."<br>

The book you were looking at was written in Latin and had all kinds of pictures drawn in it, and it spoke of dimensions and placements of scared items.<br><br>The door to the liberty opened and an old man stepped in he was dressed in a nice suite and he had a long white and gray, his hair was the same color, he smiled at you, “I am sorry to intrude on you, you must be Autumn,” he smiled and stepped in as you see him closer you see he is missing his left eye.

				Autumn looked up at him in surprise as he placed her hands on his hard member.&nbsp; She wasn’t really sure of just what she was supposed to do as her hands slid up and down slowly.&nbsp; Never in a million years would she have ever imagined herself touching a man so intimately married or not, though she found the act quiet arousing for herself.

				Autumn woke to the early rays of the sun beaming through the window and moved her way out from under Alexander’s arm.&nbsp; It was still relatively early and curiosity was winning out as to what was beyond that door.&nbsp; True, she could have waited and asked Alexander but after the night before and his refusal to talk about the fey it seemed like he sheltered her instead of answering what she wanted to know, not an always bad thing.<br><br>She tiptoed across the hard wood floor and shut the door lightly behind her.&nbsp; The hallway was still dark but viewable from a small stream of light that came through the high window.&nbsp; Autumn kept her steps light as if not to disturb anyone as she climbed the stairs to the third floor.<br>

				The House was quite, except for the sounds of the cook in the kitchen. Alexander rolled over and contued to sleep. The sun held at bay by the curtains pulled tight over the windows in his room. Even Julia seamed to be sleeping, and your maids were also dead asleep. The attic was brighter and you could see most things, the door was still there but when you try the door knob it rattles, but is locked. <br><br>“Tisk tisk,” says a voice behind you. Turning you would see the man from last night, he was smiling at you, “Don’t you just hate locked doors, they keep all the fun things hidden.”<br>

				Autumn turned quickly as the voice spoke, stumbling over a box on the floor.&nbsp; “Oh!”&nbsp; She cried out as she landed with a loud thump, looking up slightly embarrassed but her rump hurting more than any embarrassment at the moment.&nbsp; “What are you doing here?&nbsp; Alexander sent you away?”<br><br>Autumn finally stood up dusting herself off.&nbsp; “What fun stuff?”&nbsp; She asked curiosity winning out over the voice that said to call for someone.<br>

				He smiled and looked at her; he walked to the door and smiled looking at it as he ran his fingers over it. “Well the fun behind a locked door, who knows what is behind this door. It could be anything. Would you like to know what is behind this door?” <br><br>He smiled and sits on a chest looking at you. He reaches in to his pocket and pulls out a key, “I just happen to have a key to said door, and I will give it to you if you give me something of yours.” His smiles wide like a sales man trying to make the deal of a life time, “all I ask for this key to the mysteries of your husband is a single lock of your hair.”<br>

				“What kind of secret?”&nbsp; Autumn asked as her mind whirled around the word secret.&nbsp; The deal was enticing enough as Alexander did seem to keep her suspense about something’s and not telling until it was for the most part to late.&nbsp; Besides she was to be his wife and there really shouldn’t be any secrets between them, she was after all an open book and he not so much.<br><br>“Fine then.”&nbsp; She finally said taking a pair of scissors that just happened to be conveniently lying close by.&nbsp; Autumn cut off a lock of her hair, then raised an eyebrow.&nbsp; “Why do you need a lock of my hair?”<br>

He stepped in with you and inside was a large room with a pentacle in the middle of it, and at each of the points of the star were glowing orbs on pedestals; he took Autumns hand and placed it on one of the glowing orbs. <br><br>Soon she sees the world around her change and she is watching a little Alexander no older than 8 years old sitting on the back of a large horse, being lead by Odin.

She thought it must have gotten mixed up with the things they had next door. She smiled and took the bag to there door and knocked gently.<br>

				Autumn had watched Alexander and his sudden leaving a little hurt but didn’t say anything.&nbsp; Really, what woman wanted to be alone on her first night of being married not to mention dine alone?&nbsp; She however didn’t want to argue either so she said nothing and watched him leave.&nbsp; Eagerness returned at the knock on the door, thinking that maybe he had forgotten something or actually thought to return to be with her instead of off doing whatever it was he did.&nbsp; “Alex…”Her voice trailed off as she opened the door.&nbsp; <br><br>“Oh, I’m sorry I thought you were someone else.”&nbsp; Autumn apologized quickly.&nbsp; Her eyes roamed over the woman then quickly back to the woman’s eyes and a slight blush across her face.<br>

				Autumn looked at him a moment looking for a sign that he was kidding her and when she got none she sat back against the back of the seat.&nbsp; “Interesting.”&nbsp; She said lightly.&nbsp; It made since to her and well even thought she had never heard of such things they were quite entertaining in her head.

				He gave her a smile and pulled her close, “it can be,” he then watched her for a monument and he knew the idea was running through her head, “Sweetie do you want to try it with another woman?” He knew Autumn was exploring her sexuality with him, trying new things was never something he did not like. But he wanted her to be happy with it.

				Autumn didn’t know what to say at his question, basically he was asking for her to commit adultery.&nbsp; “I don’t know.”&nbsp; As entertaining as the thought was she was going to have to think.&nbsp; “I’ll think about.”&nbsp; She said lightly.

				He gave her a smile and leaned back with her, “Well if you do want to do something like that I only have one rule.” He paused and leaned down and kissed her neck whispering in her ear, “I get to watch or join in. Its only fair.”

				“Rules?”&nbsp; Autumn said more than asked.&nbsp; She could do it but she had to allow him to watch or join.&nbsp; “I understand.”&nbsp; She said lightly biting at her lip.&nbsp; <br><br>“I think I need to lie down.”&nbsp; Autumn placed a kiss on his cheek.&nbsp; “Would you do the honors of escorting me to our cabin?”<br>

				Uma smiled and put down her book standing, extending her hand to Alexander. Alexander took her hand and gently kissed it. “Its very nice to finally meet you Uma, My wife Autumn has told me all about you.” Uma blushed and smiled, “I hope not everything.” <br><br>Alexander smiled and shook his head, “Of coarse not, but it is very nice to meet you and thank you for returning the bad.”<br>

				Autumn stood there with all of the uncomfortable niceties, slightly jealous that Alexander had kissed her hand.&nbsp; How could she have told everything about Uma, she really didn’t know much.&nbsp; “If the two of you would be so kind as to excuse me, I really am quiet tired.”&nbsp; She said placing a kiss on Alexander’s cheek. <br><br>“It has been a long day and it still isn’t over yet.”&nbsp; She said offering a smile to both before escaping into the cabin, struggling to remove her gown.<br>

				Soon Alexander was behind her his hands were on her dress slowly undoing the lacing on it. He smiled and pushed her hair back and began to kiss up her neck. “Mmmm are you to tired to celebrate out wedding,” he smiled letting her dress fall to the floor his hands coming up to cup her breast through her corset.

				A light laugh came from Autumn in answer to Alexander’s question as he kissed up her neck.&nbsp; “No, not to tired.”&nbsp; Her answer honest, as she enjoyed the feel of her breast being cupped through her corset.&nbsp; “I thought you were busy entertaining our neighbor.”&nbsp; Her voice light as she turned to face Alexander and placed a kiss at the base of his neck.<br><br>Autumn’s fingers began to undo the buttons upon his shirt slowly as if she were teasing him.&nbsp; “You know sometimes brides and grooms exchange gifts on their wedding day.”&nbsp; Autumn continued to trail the length of his neck with her lips as she spoke softly to him.&nbsp; “If I told you what I wanted would you give it to me?”<br><br>Upon the last of the buttons being undone, Autumn pushed the cloth from Alexanders broad shoulders.&nbsp; “I really do need a maid servant and a lady I find lovely enough to grace our bed.”&nbsp; Autumn whispered into his ear as her fingers moved to the button on his trousers.&nbsp; “I think that with your business skills that you could encourage Uma to take the job I offered.”<br>

				Alexander smiled at her his hands running down her sides, “anything you want lover.” He said moving his head to the side letting her kiss down his neck. He smiled letting her undress him. He listened to her proposal helping her with his shirt witch fell to the floor on top of her dress.<br><br>He then ran his hands through her hair as she began to remove his pants his member all ready hard for her, “hmmm I do like the thought, but I think I need you to show me how much you want it.” He smiled at her kicking his pants off, so he was standing nude in front of her.<br><br>He ran his hands up her stocking legs and her corset, “Leave the corset on, I like to see you in it.” He told her his hands griping her ass, “I will get Uma for you, but I want you to show your husband how much you love him.

				Autumn’s blue eyes trailed Alexander’s amazing body before he pulled her closer gripping her ass, a moan escaping from deep within her throat.&nbsp; “Ohh, I want it very much.”&nbsp; She teased nipping at his neck, her teeth pulling lightly at the skin.<br><br>Autumn smiled as he ordered her to show him how much she loved him.&nbsp; “I thought I already had shown you how much I love you.”&nbsp; &nbsp;She ran her tongue over the places that she had bitten.&nbsp; “But it’s a challenge I would love to accept.”<br><br>She liked the way that he was ordering her what to do, which was strange because in any other situation she would have hated him.&nbsp; Autumn began to kiss over his body as she lowered herself to her knees, pausing momentarily to look up at him a moment a light smile playing at her lips.&nbsp; “Just how am I supposed to show you, Alexander?”&nbsp; She asked feigning innocents.<br>

				He had desisted to be rougher with her, as he took her hair in his hands and pushed her on to his member forcing her to take it in to her mouth. He watched her reaction to it, and he smiled down at her beautiful red lips wrapped around his thick shaft. “Like this lover.” <br><br>He loved the control over her, and her mouth always made him want to cum right then and there. He took her head and began to thrust his hips in to her mouth, “relax your throat and take all of me.” He said to her as he pushed her further down on his hard member gagging her lightly. <br><br>He looked over and saw there reflection on the full length mirror and he smiled at it, she was on her knees in front of him in stockings a garter belt and her corset. Her hair was being held back by his hands, and he stood there nude in front of her. <br>
