Chapter 42: The Inevitable Testing Of Bonds

The Grounds, The DuChene Estate, Leighton, England (1763)...

  The arrival of guests and the seemingly endless chatter did little to lighten the mood as Alain Remington stood with a glass of red wine in hand as he peered out the window of his mother's dining hall. He watched with barely any interest as guest after guest made their way into the house while the live music played and the fire crackled in the enormous fireplace in the center of the hall as people from most noble walks of life filed into the manor.

The bitter mood Alain found himself in was courtesy of having his young heart broken in such a short amount of time. He managed to pick himself up off the ground after dusk, his hopes of having a life with Noreen McCray had been dashed considerably as he began to emotionally withdraw from the world around him.

All he could see from the moment he foun

    Chapter 43: Living A Life High On The Vine The Slums, Boylesten, England (1763)... The cool chill of early morning air did little to quell the apparent heat that stirred within the loins of Alain Remington as he found himself in the slums of Boylesten with a redhead moaning in his ear and her belly pressed up against the dilapidated brick wall of the building that had been her home as he stood behind her, his trousers down to his ankles and his cock impaled into the warmth between her thin legs as she gripped the wall and pressed her pale cheek against it. He had not remembered how he had gotten to this point. Following the events of Casimir's engagement party he'd taken his leave of the estate and a bottle of wine along with him as he wandered the streets getting as far away from his heartbreak as possible. He was filled with only bitterness and spite as a result of being used by Noreen and resented not only her but his status as a noble as well as any other. He headed towar

    Chapter 44: A Studious Avenue The Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... Renting a space away from the prying eyes of his overbearing family was one step toward independence as the grove was no longer a place he had any intention of returning to. Casimir's wedding was due to take place and there was no way he wished to share the same living quarters as Casimir and Noreen when it was all said and done. He found Noreen to be quite nosey when it came to his personal affairs and the fact that she'd gone to his father to speak about his occasional overindulgence with rum and wine was all the more aggravating. Sir Alfred had taken her side not knowing the kind of viper she was nor the fact that it was her lies and wickedness that led him to seek soles in the bottom of a bottle now and again. Alain yawned as he entered his room it was a modest space, with plenty of room for him to work if he so desired, and well above the tavern where a local place where women

    Chapter 45: Something Of An Anesthetic AppreciationThe Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... Hazel eyes flickered with mischief as they watched the movements of a thinly built redhead with puffy cheeks and emerald green eyes given to decidedly pale skin and an average build. Alain Remington found himself quite enthralled with the goings-on of the redhead girl only a few years younger than him as she worked day and night at the local linen cleaning spot. He frequented the tavern more often than not leaving the confines of his room to get himself good and drunk only to come back to an empty room and pass out in bed despite his need for companionship of sorts. His birthday had only been a month away and the new year right after and he had planned to indulge in whatever he liked when the time came. Casimir's wedding was only two days away and already he and Noreen seemed to have gotten closer and closer still.Rage burned inside Alain to the likes of which

    Chapter 46: Embittered PerceptionsAlain's Room, The Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... Aches and pains the world over greeted the ailing Alain Remington when he opened his eyes to find that he'd been hauled back to his rented space after yet another night of hard drinking and endless mischief. His face hurt something awful as he recalled a fist crashing into it over and over in the wake of the tavern brawl that had broken out due to the patrons and Alain in his drunken stupor getting a bit too rowdy after an argument. Fists continued to fly for hours on end until everyone either grew too exhausted to throw another punch or were chased off by the owner of the tavern. Much to the shock of those who had been in attendance, The ailing young noble had surprisingly come out on top, beating the best of the brutes to the point of causing them to quit the match-up as if it were nothing. He'd been tagged in the face a time or two, but not enough to stop him from

    Chapter 47: The Shameless Swindling Of Virtue Alain's Room, The Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... Drunkenness could have possibly been to blame for the way Alain Remington had suddenly taken an interest in the innocent redhead peasant girl as he often looked upon her with eyes teeming with lust and desire unmatched when he saw her day in and day out. She'd been a sweet thing, trying her best to appease his tumultuous temperament and sexually charged directness when it came to her. The fisticuffs champion had been something of a shameless flirt when it came to his drink and he was often escorted back to his room because of it. The Innkeeper had invested quite a bit in the wonderous fighter and sought to protect him even from himself as the days rolled on and he remained undefeated. The peasant girl, known vaguely to him as Cordelia had once more ventured into Alain's room, which was surprisingly always left unlocked for her whenever he inclined tha

    Chapter 48: A Shameful Morning After Alain's Room, The Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... An agonized groan escaped a still very hungover Alain Remington as he rolled onto his back amid the soft covers that lined his bed. He had some kind of a headache that only intensified with the onset of beaming sunlight that pierced the makeshift drapes and came right for his face as he winced in pain and found himself awakening before he was good and ready. He was quite shocked to find that he'd been naked although it was more or less routine ever since he'd taken to drink and in the company of a strange new bedmate. Alain froze when his movements to escape the blaring light of the sun jolted the slumbering smaller female body which had been tucked very neatly amid the covers and his naked form he gasped for a moment unsure of what transpired the previous night when he'd been under the influence of his less than savory feelings and drink. The naked pale redhead

Whispers and stares abound when Alain finally strolls into the mansion after a long weekly absence. He looked disheveled and wild via his hair and his clothing had been a mess in the sight of those who had known him best. He cared not for their concern nor their frequent whispers as he moved about ignoring their presence in search of his chambers to avoid the unwanted lectures about his recent radical shift in behavior. Noreen had been the first to observe him as he moved about clearly drunk and reeking of wine and filth. She had been embarrassed for him, and doubly so for his mother had she been privy to seeing her youngest son in such a state. She made up her mind to confront him, although it never seemed to do any good. They would inevitably spit and he'd rush off and do what he wanted in the first place. Still, she had not been able to sit idly by and watch the po

Fists met flesh as the two men went back and forth with blows with embedded knuckles as they fought to keep themselves upright amid the booze they ingested prior to slugging it out and the various blows absorbed against their respective persons. Alain Remington was faring quite well against the chosen opponent and holding his own despite his drunkenness. In the corner of the room, a lone redhead girl had taken a special interest in the evening's bout in the form of watching the handsome nobleman take on the dirty seafarer. Both had been shirtless, stripped down to their trousers, and stumbled about after a substantial application of drink on both their parts while committing to wayward blows dealt to one another via the intent to come away with a hard-fought victory once the bout had come to an end. The redhead, who had been none other than the peasant girl Cordelia Barlow

There had been something of a contented smile filed across his handsome face as he lay on his back with his right arm folded behind his head and his sizeable cock tenting the bedsheet that had been draped over his waist. Corelia lay beside him, her beautiful supple breasts exposed just shy of the border of the crisp white sheet as she gave off a few light snores in the wake of her well-earned and much-needed rest. A slight smile creased his pale lips as he recalled just how she had earned that rest and the subsequent efforts he'd put into making it so. The cool morning air had been welcome against the naked noble's heated skin as he turned his attention to the unyielding urge that had been a product of his bladder. He pulled back the crisp white sheet that covered both him and the slumb

Once more the sound of the thick wooden headboard beating against the nearby wall echoed throughout the tavern room as a sweat-slick Alain found himself towering above a moaning Cordelia as he had every night since the first time he'd invited her up to his room and drunkenly wooed her into his bed. Their various articles of clothing littered the floor as their bodies clashed beneath crisp white sheets in the wake of their strenuous act. Hazel eyes locked onto the emerald green as Alain found himself unable to look away from the lovely young face of the redhead peasant who had managed to fool the lot of the high society big wigs with her newly learned grace and fully fleshed out the beauty in the wake of his rather masterful tutelage when it came to the wedding of his elder brother and former lover. Cordelia's soft moans filled the mostly brooding noble's ears

Throughout the ceremony, whispers had abounded about the mystery surrounding the elegant redhead who had entered the estate and had gotten Alain's undivided attention despite his participation in his elder brother's wedding. It had become so odd that even the bridegroom himself, Casimir Duchaine, had become consumed with wanting to know the mysterious lass' identity. Alain had been slightly amused by the badgering of questions. Still, he ignored them in a particularly carefree manner as he sought to give the bulk of his attention to the newly arrived lady as his parents stood in shock at how devoted he seemed to have been to her. Casimir glanced at the beautiful elegant young woman and then at Alain and at last thought he had known just who she had been. Of course, his keen mind had put the pieces together and of course, Alain would be of the mind to keep it a secret, she'd been his lady afte

Both Alain and Casimir arrived in good time from the brothel despite Alana Duchaine being mortified when she realized where her elder son had been and where her precious younger son Alain had to retrieve him. Alain had been quite amused as he moved through the crowd making his way to the servants carrying champagne and he watched from afar as everyone scrambled to get ready for the upcoming nuptials. He'd taken a moment to clear his head after heading upstairs in a bid to avoid a bombardment of unwanted questions from women still auctioning off their unwed daughters and found that the room that one of the guest rooms had been occupied by none other than Noreen McCrayson herself. She had been quite a lovely sight, sitting before the vanity in the room and appearing to compose herself as she awaited news of Casimir's arrival and the impending wedding that was to change both of their lives forever.

    Chapter 57: A Fine Round Of Personal IndulgenceRoom 5, Tavern Room, The Backstreets, Boylston, England (1762)... The sound of the thick wooden framed headboard beating against the nearby elegant wall to the point of tearing at the paper echoed through the frequented favorite tavern room of none other than Casimir DuChaine as he found himself given to a rabid series of thrusts into the tight orifice of the rather cute pale blond lad that caught his eye in the wake of his drunken binge and subsequent issue with the knowledge that he was to be married in a few hours. He had been accustomed to having many bedmates in his time since his very first sexual encounter and had not planned to give up such freedom despite being in an arranged marriage. He had amended his dalliances to only good-looking young men mostly servants too ashamed to run off at the mouth about their exploits and ended his frequent trips to brothels, but that was as far as he was willing to go. Casimir had been e

    Chapter 56: Keeping Up AppearancesThe Duchene Estate, Leighton England (1763)... Sir Alfred Remington had been pacing quite a bit as he attempted to sift through the crowds of people well-dressed and pleased to be in attendance at the former Governor's eldest son's wedding. Casimir had quite a reputation and news of his impending nuptials and the fact that he'd been looking forward to them gave everyone pause when it came to wanting to know just who the bride had been that had garnered the attention of such an affluent and carefree young man to the point of making him want to settle down like anyone else. It was a rare thing to note that Alfred's problem child had not at all been Casimir, who was as nervous as can be about his wedding, even more so when he had not seen neither hide nor hair of his baby brother following their less than ideal run-in before the younger lad took off for parts unknown and stayed g

    Chapter 55: Desire's Unseemly TricksAlain's Bedroom, The Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... Alain Remington had not said a word as his ever-changing hazel eyes took note of how hard the redhead peasant girl seemed to have been focusing on his latest round of lessons. They had a mere few days left before the wedding and he'd been quite deadset on presenting her as a proper lady before the very eyes of everyone in attendance. For the most part, Alain had been having a rather difficult time getting a few aspects of practice through her mind and the occasional slip-ups had been most concerning but he knew she'd been eager to please him and looking forward to going to the wedding as his guest so she practiced night and day even after working hours to get everything just right. The rather silent handsome noble watched her intently, making her rather nervous despite her confidence that she could make a lasting impression. It had taken some doing, but Cordelia

    Chapter 54: An Awful Terrible Idea Alain's Bedroom, The Salt Mill Tavern, Fifth And Main, Boylesten, England (1763)... As the storm raged outside the tavern and pelted the dirty cobblestone streets with a good deal of flooding, Alain Remington had glared rather silently at his painting, the latest in his collection of masterpieces despite his resident bitterness in the way his life had turned out when the promise of love and happiness had become but a bitter memory of betrayal of the highest fashion. Alain had not been alone in his room despite his apparent tendency to sulk as his hazel eyes once more trailed toward the nearly finished and quite fetching portrait that hugged the easel as he stood before it, still naked from head to toe and his breath reeking of every manner of ale from the tavern below. It had been quite the match to the slumbering redhead peasant girl having a bit of a lie in due to the weather and their earlier exploits between his formerly crisp sheets. Slowl

A rolling storm had been of no consequence to the two young lovers coupled inside the room at The Salt Mill Tavern, on Fifth and Main. The noises within had been thankfully drowned out by the crackle of thunder and the flashes of lightning had been of no issue to two people who needed only their bodies enmeshed to adhere to their most basic of carnal needs. The frequent moans that escaped the pinked lips of the young redhead peasant filled the room as the occasional grunts and groaning from the handsome young noble lad hard at work drilling his impressive appendage inside the tight depths of the redhead peasant girl as they jolted along his bed echoed as well.Alain Remington had not had his fill of the redhead just yet as he continued to pump his hips between her thighs hissing regarding her involuntary clenching of his cock as he thrust harder and deeper than before
