Body disposal and Onna's reward in the City of London 1905
*
Sir Douglas listened to the sound of the horses hooves as they made their way back to his home. The steady movement of the carriage and the 'clip-clop' of the horses hooves had eased some of the tension that had gathered as they made their way through the fog shrouded streets of London.
Sir Douglas never felt comfortable when he shared his mode of conveyance with a corpse. He was all too aware of the difficulties that he would face if they were somehow discovered by one of the earnest members of the Metropolitan Police. Even with his social and political connections, Sir Douglas would have difficulty evading the law if he was caught.
While the shadow government department that Sir Douglas often did 'favours' for were very happy for him to slaughter his way across Europe and the sub-continent, they became very unhappy if this sort of behaviour happened on their front doorstep as it were and had made their displeasure known in the past in ways that were better not thought of.
So Sir Douglas was relieved when their carriage drew to a stop on top of London Bridge. Due to the early hour and "pea soup" fog that shrouded everything, they had total privacy in which to bring the carpet wrapped corpse out of the carriage and drop it, carpet and all off the bridge and into the Thames.
Sir Douglas knew that the body would be carried out to sea on the outgoing tide. He also knew that there was a distinct possibility that the corpse would be washed up on any one of the sand banks near the mouth of the river, but there was no identification on the man and anyway, if the body was found then it would help 'stir the pot' for those who sought out Sir Douglas.
Now that unpleasant task was done, Sir Douglas felt the familiar thickening of his pulse and the stirring of dark energy within his breast. It was time, after many months of keeping Onna on the cusp of breaking completely, to have her in every sense of the word. It was time to remove the self imposed restraint that mirrored the real restraints that had often tied Onna back, it was time to finally allow himself the release that he craved.
He told Jonathan who was driving the carriage for them to make good speed as they made their way home. Jonathan took up the horsewhip and cracked it above the horses, startling them into a gallop as they made their way through the dark London streets.
Inside the carriage, Onna was under the blankets with Chelsea, who was still dead to the world. The evening events had been quite overwhelming for her, which was as Sir Douglas had intended. It was an extraordinary world she had stepped into and it was in his opinion much better to jump straight into the deep end and get the shock over and done with than to toy with the edges.
They arrived back at the stable where Jonathan went ahead with the stable-hand to unhitch the horses and brush them down before putting them into their stables for the rest of the night. Onna and Sir Douglas carried the very sleepy Chelsea through the rooms of their manse into her bedroom, where she was settled under her quilt.
Sir Douglas knew that Onna was waiting with quivering anticipation, judging so by the minute telltale elements in her demeanour. He could tell that her mouth was dry and from the slight movement at the base of her neck that her pulse was racing like their horses had been on the way home.
He followed Onna into her room. This had been set up as a refuge for her, a very deliberate space for her to be herself, without any interruption or upset. This had been a place for her to think, to practice her physical arts and to help regain her equilibrium after the times when Sir Douglas had taken her to her limits and beyond.
The fact that he entered here, into her sanctuary said more than any words could offer. This was going to be the culmination of their long and involved courtship and would begin now.
Onna gasped, in shock at the reality of his presence here in her room. This was the moment she had fantasised about for many months. There had been many times when she had been bound, exposed and open and brought to the edge of orgasm and left there, begging for that final act of sensual abandon that had not as yet happened. She had lain here in her western style bed on many a night, forbidden to bring herself to orgasm yet dreaming of Sir Douglas bearing down upon her, thrusting into her hot moist core. There had been some nights where she had achieved orgasm just by thinking of this due to the long hours spent constantly aroused.
