A/N- This is the conclusion to George and Millicent's story and requires the reading of the first two chapters of A Regency Domination. It is a reverse-fairy tale, a broken tale of the young, impoverished, neglected woman who found pain, rather than romance, in the hands of the rich, handsome lord she married.

Millicent looked from the concerned face of her saviour to that of her tormentor. Every fibre of her being threatened to protest if she followed her head and accepted Mr Rawls' proposal. Bruised and battered as she was, she still craved George.
Her eyes met Vivian's, who nodded imperceptibly, conveying her trust and support in whatever her friend chose.
With a deep breath, embracing the tightness in her chest and the feelings of apprehension, she finally turned to Mr Rawls. "Thank you for your offer, Sir. But I m-must refuse... for I do n-not love you."
His gaze was compassionate, even as his mouth tightened. With a final nod, he walked away from the scene.
Before she could second guess herself, George strode towards her and engulfed her in a hug. She felt his heart quicken against her chest as he breathed her in.
"You are all mine now, Mousy Millie," he said, and kissed her fiercely, in front of everyone.
She allowed his tongue to invade her mouth, feeling weak and overwhelmed.
I am yours
, she thought, pulsing with want,
always and forever

My dearest Vivian
I was delighted to hear of your latest adventures in the tattle sheets. Did Phillip really play you Mozart's most dramatic symphony while you recited the words of Olympe de Gouge's declaration at my aunt's musicale?
I do agree with you that we have been absent from London for too many years. A part of me longs to attend this Season, but we will wait until George has to take up his seat in the House of Lords. At least I have him, John, and Eunice to keep me company, all though Eunice is still far too young to converse in anything but gurgles.
We had to fire yet another tutor and I think I shall home-school John myself, until he is old enough to go to Eton.
There is not much else to report, for life here is very peaceful. I miss you terribly and hope you can visit us again soon.
All my love,
M
George scanned through the letter his little mouse had written to his sister. He was a reasonable man and had allowed her to stay in touch with her friends and her suffragist club, but he needed to approve her correspondence before she sent it. Sometimes he woke up in a sweat at night, after suffering through a nightmare where she had conspired with a secret lover to escape him. On those occasions, he would awaken her and thrust into her without preamble, fucking her brutally until she cried his name in pain and pleasure.
The memory of how he had taken her just last night, after she begged him not to blame her for the frequent smiles their son's tutor bestowed upon her, made his balls ache with need. Her flesh had reddened from the sting of his riding crop, and she had sobbed when her skin chafed against his as he fucked her.
Her brown eyes, flecked with gold, watched him warily as he finished reading the letter.
"You did not tell my sister about the circumstances under which I had to fire the tutor."
Millicent flushed. "I... thought it would displease you."
"You thought right." He pulled her to him until her body was moulded to his. "She calls me jealous, but I seek only to guard my most precious treasure."
As she gulped, he ran his thumb over her lips. "I have news for you."
She did not say anything, so he continued. "The estate has turned twice the profit we anticipated."
Her smile was strained but her eyes grew animated. "Oh George, I am so glad you adopted my suggestions and invested in modernisation. How wonderful for the tenants!"
"I am as well, my little mouse," he said, and ghosted a kiss over her jaw. "I will reinvest some of that money, but the rest can go towards building that school for girls you wanted in the village."
She gasped. "George, already?"
"Anything for you," he promised, nipping at her throat as his hands roved hungrily over her curves. "I will give you everything you want, Millie, so long as you continue to obey and love me."
Her lashes descended to hood her eyes. "You are too good to me."
"So thank me," he commanded.
Immediately, she fell to her knees and gazed up at him in supplication, like the well-trained whore that she was. "Will you allow me to suck your cock, Master?"
