COLLECTION OF LUST AND LOVE Chapter 2
She had flattered him, cooked for him, and given him the praise and admiring glances that had worked so well on her father when she wanted something from him. She had found out which colours Herd liked best and had endeavoured to wear those when he was around. She wore her luxuriant dark hair several ways when he was around at first, and she watched to see which style pleased him the most. And when she saw that special look of favour for a particular style, she henceforth wore her hair down, flowing free to beneath her shoulders—ignoring her father's looks of disapproval. And then the other special looks from Herd began, and she returned them demurely, as she hoped. Herd was an outspoken man in the book, and she didn't want to scare him off.But Herd was also a man. And she was a young, beautiful, and ripe woman. It didn't take much. A few warm apple pies, a dress in cornflower blue, a special smile, and fluttering eyelashes. Then moments alone on the porch swing after a good dinner,

Abegail sat paralysed, her dream world collapsing about her, as her father and Leonard briefly talked of Leonard's leaving. He was going farther west, into the new Colorado territory. Not east. He was leaving. He was leaving without her, and he was going west, not east—to the even more primitive wilds than the dreary Nolana, not to the opulent, lively cities of the east.Herd hadn't gotten a foot off the front porch, however, before Abegail let out a wail of betrayal and despair and ran past her father to the door out onto the porch, spewing out all that she and Leonard had done and that she was sure that she was pregnant by him now and that, as a man of God, he surely understood that they were already man and wife.Still not looking at her, Herd covered his embarrassment with his own raging."Man and wife?" he blustered. "I have not lain with you in the eyes of the Book, woman. We have not fornicated within the biblical context. I did nothing in your womb. That would be a sin. You ca

Wally blushed a deep red. "Oh, I'm sorry, so sorry, Abegail. Forgive me. I don't know.""Oh, you needn't be so shy, Wally," she said, giving him an "almost" coquettish smile, not wanting to scare him away, though. "You've been so good to me. It's the twentieth century now. We can show our feelings for each other.""Our feelings for each other? You have feelings for me too, Abegail? Oh, Abegail."It didn't seem he was going to take the moment any further now, almost as if he'd already surpassed his slow, deliberate courting plan. So Abegail turned his shoulders towards her and took his lips gently with hers.His kiss was sweet, but he was handling her like glass. This just wasn't developing fast enough for Abegail. If the length and breadth of her world were going to be Slater and Wally Holland, they might as well get on with it. She opened her lips to his light touch there, took his hand, and placed it on her breast. There wasn't much for Wally to feel th

The pressure of his fingers on Abegail's hand was almost unbearable. He was electricity; he was fire. She melted to his touch. "Yes, oh yes, I would," she managed to say in a strained, small voice."And what would you do to be able to go to the World's Fair, Abegail?""Anything... anything," Abegail answered breathlessly. He was stripping away all defences and anything but a totally honest response."If you come with me back to my room, Abegail, I will take you to the World's Fair tomorrow."When Wally returned, not having found the catalogue anywhere in the storeroom, the store proper was, of course, empty. The missing catalogue was lying on top of the showcase Cole had been leaning against.Cole had Abegail stripped down to her corselet expertly in no time after they had gotten to his room at the hotel. She had no idea what to do, but he was doing it all. They were sitting side by side on his bed, and he was encasing her shoulders with one arm and pushing her bodice down to below he

And she lifted her arms to him, and he came to and into her. And he was gentle and he was expert, and she arched her back and cried out in pleasured pain as his gentle-as-possible piercing deflowered her, and then, increasingly, she cried out in passion and shared lust and pleasure as he moved more assuredly and deeper and more possessively inside her and as he held her tightly to him, one hand on the small of her back and the other buried in her hair. He devoured her lips and nipples with kisses even as he filled and stretched her and moved in and out relentlessly to a mutual flow, sighing and crying out.Abegail was in ecstasy. Just by going down the Pike, pulling an amused Cole Raven behind her, she was transported to Rome, Jerusalem, Paris, the Tyrolean Alps, Siberia, an Eskimo village, Japan, and a floating trip through the whole of creation. Her world was limitless now, just as she had known it would be if only she could get to the St. Louis World's Fair. The Pike was t

"We'll see, Cole," she said in a prissy little voice, and he removed his stroking hand from her forearm. "We'll just have to see." At least she now knew what Cole had been giving her such a complete and hurried course in lovemaking. And there was a glimmer now of leverage she could have over Cole. Yes, she'd try—but she'd just have to see what he was suggesting.They met Cole's brother, Jasper, at a restaurant in a pavilion at the Palace of Fine Arts for lunch. Jasper was a little like his brother. He was as handsome and finely constructed as Cole, but he was more like Wally Holland in disposition than he was like Cole. He was very shy and quiet. But he was Cole's brother, so Abegail turned her full charm on him, and Jasper was mesmerised by her. Before lunch was over, Abegail was convinced that Jasper would follow her anywhere or do anything for her that she asked him to do. She learned that Jasper lived in the Lake District of north-central Indiana, where he would be opening an insu

She didn't know how long Shaffer had been standing in the room, watching them in their possessed lust, before she noticed him. But when she did, he was standing there, near the table, with a sloppy grin on his face and his eyes hooded in arousal. He held both the brandy snifter and a smoking cigar in one hand, and he had his trousers fly open and his penis out and was stroking himself with the other hand. His member wasn't as big as Abegail thought Vaughn's must be, but it was a large one.At length, he came over behind Vaughn and leaned down, put his head on Vaughn's shoulder, and took Abegail's lips in his. He was a fine, sensual kisser. Then he put his lips in Abegail's ear, told her she was beautiful, and then spoke. "Cole tells me of your lovemaking with your Kansas beau. I want you now too. May I have permission to join you two, Mam? May I mount?"Abegail was gasping, lost in the ploughing that Vaughn was giving her. And she wanted Shaffer too. She simply rolled her eyes and smi

But Abegail's world was destined to challenge and surprise her and deny her any promise of stability. Just as she was beginning to adjust to this world and a future with Wally Holland, her world had collapsed inside her.She let out a little, involuntary sob as the last of the children filed out of the schoolhouse. She busied herself briefly inside, setting up for the lessons of the next day, and then, with a sigh of resignation, a sigh that had a little catch of a sob in it, she closed the schoolhouse door and walked down the path to the street, easel and paints in hand, bound for an escape into the world of her art."Howdy, Miss Abegail," Horace the postman sang out as he came up the road on his bicycle."Howdy back at you, Mr. Trap," Abegail called to him.He tipped his hat. "Mighty fine day, Miss Abegail, but it will turn cold soon enough. You off to Holland's to be the first to snag one of those newfangled electric heaters that man from the fair over in St. Louis is pushing?"Tha
