Kat stood beneath the needles of hot water, in the shower, and gently soaped her taut tender breasts. The jets stung her swollen, erect nipples, as she washed the sticky semen from her skin. She turned the water to cold for a few seconds, playing the shower head over her smoothly rounded belly and against the smooth mound of her pussy. A twist of the control shut the water off and she stepped out of the cubicle, reaching for the soft towelling robe, warming on the radiator. Gently, she patted the droplets of water off her skin, cautiously pressing the towel against her tender, sensitive nipples.
While she showered, a maid had laid out her clothes for dinner. On the bed she found a dress, in midnight blue silk that had been expertly designed and cut, with slits on either thigh that reached to her mid-thigh, to emphasise her full bosom and pinched waist. Next to the dress were a pair of sheer silk stockings with a garter belt and a tiny pair of briefs, cut high on the hip. There was no bra, although the bodice of the dress was lightly boned, so that her naked breasts would be cradled and supported in the silk.
Kat slid the silk briefs along her legs and settled them snugly against the mound of her sex, her breath hissing through her teeth as the thin ribbon of material nestled between her buttocks and pressed against her tender asshole. As she ran her thumbs around the waistband to settle them comfortably on her hips, Kat felt the soft silk clinging to the tender, puffy lips of her pussy. Drawing a deep, shuddering breath, she slipped the silk dress over her head and slid it down her body. Reaching behind her she tugged the zip up, feeling the cool material closing around her body, cradling her breasts, until she was fastened firmly inside. The silk felt chill, then warm, against her still proud nipples and she groaned softly as she realised that the dress was just loose enough to allow them to brush against the inside of the bodice.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Kat slowly rolled the stockings up her legs, clipping them to the garter belt. Slipping her feet into matching heeled pumps she stood and observed her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was sleek and smooth, hanging in a sleek blonde curtain around her neck. The blue-grey of her eyes was clear and there was no trace in them of the lustful wanton of an hour ago. The memory of her voice, cracked and broken by passion, as she begged James to make love to, no to fuck her, brought a crimson flush to her cheeks. The thin band of leather around her neck stood starkly against her creamy smooth skin.
Kat moved over to the dressing table and sat in front of the mirror. In a velvet lined case, already opened, she found a string of flawless black pearls and a pair of perfect black pearl teardrops. Resting on top of the pearls was a small envelope of creamy vellum paper. Kat slipped her thumb beneath the flap of the envelope and slid out a slip of matching paper. Written in a precise, almost fussy, script was a single message. "Wear these to represent your earlier tears." it read. Kat slipped the necklace around her throat, feeling the icy smoothness of the nacre against her skin as the pearls slipped, like a rivulet of water, into the valley between her ripe breasts. The pearls hung, lustrous, from her earlobes and seemed to wink from within the curtain of her hair. Next to the case that had held the pearls, she saw a tiny cut-glass phial of perfume. It was unlabelled but, when she carefully prised the stopper out of the bottle, she could detect an expensive blend of musk and citrus. Carefully, she dabbed a drop of the scent on each of her pulse points, inhaling deeply and feeling the effect of the aroma, making her head swim.
Kat stood up and surveyed herself in the mirror, carefully appraising the image. The heels tilted her hips a little, flattening her smooth belly and making her taut breasts jut proudly against the fine silk. Satisfied with the effect she would have, Kat opened the door and stepped out, into the hallway. The long corridor was empty and her footsteps on the deep pile were almost silent as she made her way to the drawing room.
The door to the drawing room was already open and she pushed it a little wider, pausing in the doorway, waiting for James, lounging comfortably in a high backed armchair, to look up and notice her. The logs in the hearth were well alight, making the room almost too warm for comfort, but nobody seemed to notice the heat. James looked up from the book in his hand and, placing a finger between the covers, beckoned her over. Kat walked slowly into the room, passing James' dinner guests.
Kat stood to the left of James' chair, her hands clasped in front of her and her eyes slowly sweeping the room. None of the men, who were James' guests, struck any chord of recognition in her thoughts but they all wore an air of authority, like a mantle over their clothes. They were all over forty, with athletic figures, not fat but well muscled and broad shouldered. Each of them gazed interestedly at her, their eyes running over her dress and her figure as though they were cataloguing her in some mental collection. One by one, they turned their gaze to James and nodded, treating him to a slight smile of approbation.
James turned his head and spoke softly, but commandingly, to her.
"Kneel." James ordered.
Kat knelt by the arm of his chair, her back upright, so that his hand almost brushed her shoulder. James reached out and traced his fingertips across the nape of her neck, beneath the shining fringe of her hair, and along the smooth curve of her shoulders. Kat could feel the frisson of his touch rippling beneath her skin and swallowed a tiny groan, as she felt the warmth between her thighs. The fragrance of his cologne, sharp and tangy, made her throat tighten with the memory of him possessing her in her room, less than an hour ago. Reaching to the small table, on the other side of his chair, James lifted a large snifter, with a dark amber pool of Armagnac in the bowl. Reaching down, he slowly circled the mouth of the glass beneath Kat's nose, letting the fumes from the spirit rise and invade her nostrils. He leaned closer, as he brought the glass to her lips, and gave her another soft command.
