Prologue
Katherine, Lady Dunrossiter, propped herself up on one elbow and gazed down at the man in bed with her. Earl Dunrossiter was younger than she, and his well formed chest was only sparsely haired. By contrast, the hair at his groin was abundant and thick, which could also describe the cock laying idly between his outstretched legs.
Lady Dunrossiter gently moved the bedsheet down off their bodies, to gaze at his nude form, feeling a stirring in her naked loins. She reached out and deftly took his shaft between her fingers and began to stroke him back to life. Although he stayed asleep, the massive organ soon was standing tall and proud, overfilling the hand which began to manipulate it.
Katherine could scarce believe the events of the past few years, culminating in her present condition...
Chapter One
Arthur, 7th Earl, Dunrossiter, mounted his stallion and took the reins from the groom. He checked to see that the brace of pistols was seated firmly, and that his saber was nestled neatly along his leg, then set out down the lane to the gate. He never considered himself in any danger; if the worthless bog Irish peasants decided to give him any trouble, he was perfectly content in finishing it off.
Earl Dunrossiter was pleasantly sated as he loped through the green countryside. He had spent the morning whoring and fornicating with a pair of the scullery maids, a buxom pair of sisters who needed the miniscule wages he paid to help support their families. He had particularly enjoyed taking Sadie in the arse viciously, luxuriating in her whimpering tears of pain while her sister Mary, crying as he lightly caned her supple buttocks, was forced to use her mouth on her own sister's cunny. He had so enjoyed it that after he had spent, he had forced the two girls to revive his large and soiled manhood with their mouths, then had made them reverse positions and repeated the process. Afterwards he had lunched with his sons, then had departed.
It was a pleasant hour's ride from the estate, up the valley and across the ridge to Sir Dunston's small manor. He knew that Sir Dunston was old and rarely left home anymore, so that he was almost assured that the gentleman would be home. Riding up to the manor house, he climbed down and tossed the reins to the groom that scurried forth, then announced himself to Sir Dunston's English butler.
Earl Dunrossiter's visit was an annual occurrence and he followed the butler into the manor, waiting in the foyer until he was admitted. Moments later, he was ushered into the parlor, where Sir Dunston was rising from his armchair.
"Sit down, sit down, Malcolm. No need to get up on my account.", said Arthur.
Sir Malcolm Dunston managed to slowly climb to his feet, and said, "Welcome, Arthur. Pleasant ride?"
"Perfectly fine, Malcolm. Now do sit down, please." He went around to Sir Dunston's side and allowed the much older man to rest a frail arm on his wrist and lower himself back into the chair.
The butler came in and poured both men a glass of sherry, then left. Dunston smiled at his old friend and said, "I suspect I know what you are doing here today. You've come to inquire whether I will sell my lands to you, eh?"
Dunrossiter smiled back benignly. "Malcolm, can't I simply be here visiting an old and dear friend?" Dunston simply gave him a knowing smile, and Dunrossiter continued, "Well, can't that be one reason? Yes, I'm here to make my annual pilgrimage, to make sure you know I want these lands. I don't want you selling them off on me before I get my say in, what?"
"Not while I'm alive.", said Dunston with a smile. "Although who knows how long that will be, eh. After all, my three score and ten was a few years ago."
"Nonsense, Malcolm, you'll dance on my grave! I just feel that you'd be more comfortable living in London, away from these foul Irish bogs."
"Bah! I have no interest in being anywhere near court, thank you. I'll live out my days here. Why, even my granddaughter is coming back here. Now there's an idea..."
Dunrossiter looked at his host, hiding his disappointment. He needed these lands for water rights and pasture. If Dunston would move off them, he'd have been happy to pay through the nose. His children had died several years ago. What was this about a grandchild?! Now he'd never get the estate! "Eh, what was that?", he asked in confusion.
"My granddaughter, she's moving back here from London. She's been living with my sister since she was a little girl, and is of a marrying age. You marry her, and you'll get the lands eventually.", he said with a smile.
"Bah on you, now, Malcolm. I've already buried two wives; I have no interest in a third. When is she due?" Dunrossiter began turning the possibilities over in his head. Provided that the girl never produced an heir of her own, then his sons would inherit Dunston's lands without question, and what better way to insure that than by marrying the girl himself. "When does she arrive? You should have a ball in her honor."
"Today. A ball, here? Not today, of course not."
"No, of course not, towards the end of the week, obviously. Today you say?"
"Indeed, Arthur, I expect her at any moment."
"Well, then, I'll stay and greet her while I help drain your sherry. I don't think I've seen the girl in ten or twelve years, what? Her name is Kathleen?", he asked.
Dunston answered, "No, Katherine. Well, all right, if you wish." He rang a small bell and the butler reappeared and refilled their glasses.
***
Katherine Dunston appeared within the hour, and Dunrossiter helped his friend to his feet and down the manor's steps as she climbed down from Sir Dunston's carriage. She curtsied pleasantly to the two gentlemen, the Dunston helped her to her feet and clasped his arms around her, hugging her fiercely. Pulling back slightly, he turned her towards Dunrossiter, and said, "Katherine, let me introduce you to a neighbor and family friend, Earl Dunrossiter. Arthur, my granddaughter, Katherine."
Katherine curtsied again and Dunrossiter bowed to her, then took her hand and bent low over it, kissing it gently. She blushed graciously and took her grandfather's arm, helping him back into the house. "What brings you out here, milord?", she asked.
Arthur Dunrossiter had been pleasantly surprised at the sight of the young woman alighting from the carriage. He had been more than a bit afraid that the girl would resemble Dunston, an obese and florid man with an immense nose, or worse, his late son, a man even uglier than his father. Katherine Dunston was an astonishing beauty. She was slight and slim, though possessed of what appeared to be an amazing bosom, with long and curly brown hair, wide-set blue eyes, a pertly upturned nose, and a pleasantly heart-shaped face. How she had managed to stay unmarried past her sixteenth birthday was a mystery, since any land-hungry nobleman would by all rights have snapped her up for himself or a son. Instead she was still unwed at the almost spinsterish age of twenty! His friend's joke no longer seemed ridiculous, but was an obvious possibility!
"Oh, just here to visit and see how your grandfather is, Lady Katherine. My estates are on the far side of that ridge over there.", he said, pointing. "Sir Malcolm was just telling me that he planned a ball in your honor."
