Lady Finchley had retired to her room after a long night at the gambling tables. Lord Pembroke had caught her eye as he stood opposite sipping sweet sherry by the fireplace. The party was still going on downstairs when she entered her bed chamber. Her lady's maid assisted her getting undressed discarding her dress and whale bone corset onto a nearby dressing table.
'That will be all thank you Anna'. 'Very good M'lady' answered the maid. She left the room, and lady Finchley in her night gown and stockings.
The fire crackled and hissed in the grate, as the warm glow filled the room. She climbed into bed, the sheets soft and warm. The comforting heat of the bed pan still evident. As she led down she watched as the candlelight danced around the room casting shadows from the furniture. Lady Finchley led there and began to think of the dashing gentleman she was making eyes at in the gaming salon.
Lord Pembroke the younger son of the Duke of Warren. He was her ideal man. Tall, handsome, athletic and rich. However he was attached! He also had children. But that did not stop her from fantasising about what could be?
She climbed into her bed and pulled the covers up high. She lie there thinking of her handsome peer. Imagining him whisking her away off into the sunset. As she did this she brought her knees upwards and opened her legs. She envisaged him stood there before her naked and aroused. She began to touch herself. Her soft lips being gently prised apart by her dainty fingers. Slowly rubbing herself she began to cream and let out tiny groans of enjoyment.
As she gently rubbed up and down and in a circular motion near her pleasure spot her breathing became heavier. How can it be? How can he be spoken for? He's too young to be shackled down. She fantasised about him making love to her in the meadows. Her eyes closed she entered into herself pretending it was him. Her finger gliding in smoothly with the help of her love juices.
Suddenly she heard footsteps outside her bedroom door. She stopped! 'Hello.' She cried. Then two knocks at the came. 'Lady Finchley, it is I, Lord Pembroke!' He spoke in a hushed voice. What on earth was he doing up here? Thought Lady Finchley? Could he have been thinking the same thing as her?
Did he hear her moans from downstairs? 'How can I assist you my lord?' 'May I enter?' She thought for a second. The scandal this would cause should he be seen coming into her room alone at this hour?' But the thrill of the thought amused her. 'My Lord, I am very tired. This evenings adventures have taken it out of me. Please, I pray let me sleep?' Secretly she didn't want to be left alone. She wanted him, but the risk of exposure forced her to deny him.
Lord Pembroke was persistent. 'Lady Finchley I saw you making eyes at me. You sent my heart into a flutter. Please allow me to speak with you?' She knew if she refused him then she may never get this opportunity again? Reluctantly she agreed. 'Alright you may enter but only for a while.'
The door opened and in walked the peer. Dressed in his finest rock coat, waistcoat, frilled shirt, silk stockings and breeches he was very dashing. He had not bothered to rouge his cheeks as some men in society do. Instead he allowed his natural beauty to shine through. Clean shaven, with a chiselled jaw and a fair complexion. His emerald green eyes were piercing like daggers. He approached the bed as lady Finchley looked on.
'Oh Elizabeth, you send my heart racing and my blood pumping. Your beautiful porcelain skin, hazel brown eyes and soft red lips. Oh those lips so bountiful I long to caress them with mine!' 'Lord Pembroke, control yourself. Think of your wife and children.' 'I live a prisoner in my own home. A gilded cage, a loveless entanglement with no way out other than the via the grave. It is not a marriage it's a prison sentence. And one I long to be freed from!'
The sadness in his eyes and the desperation in his voice told her that these feelings were true and that he was trapped. 'Please, let me hold you?' Lady Finchley, a society sweetheart and the daughter of the Earl of Sodbury knew that this was not permitted. However Pembroke was very good looking and it is true she had been admiring him earlier. She gave in. She could not resist his desperate pleas and that yearning look of desire in his eyes.
She motioned to him to come closer. He slipped off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. Lady Finchley slowly pulled back the covers. Her slender legs bound in her stockings were slightly apart. His lordship moved closer to her loosing his frock coat and wig in the process. The bed clothes went back over the pair and they leaned in for a passionate kiss. Lady Finchley began to tremble as Lord Pembroke locked lips with hers and placed his hand on her waist. The feel of her fleshy hips was a wonder. He'd longed for this moment.
