Sophia's breathing quickened when his hands arrived at her center. She bit her lips and clenched her fists when a hand stroked over her pubic mound, feeling her soft curls. When his other hand touched her wetness she shivered and let out a sigh. His hand was strong and insistent as it massaged her vagina. When his thumb found her clitoris he rubbed her gently, but consistently. Sophia opened her legs fully and began to pant. When he let go it was only to lift her skirt up. Now she felt his breath on her. When his hot mouth met her soft folds she screamed. His tongue licked along her inner and outer lips and circled her clitoris. He put a hand on her stomach and felt the pressure building up in her. Her stomach normally soft, was rock hard with the strain.
His tongued lashed at her until she moaned and trapped his head between her legs. She pulled his hair and came on his mouth.
When her tremors had faded, he pulled her up and removed her dress. He took her breasts in his hand, feeling the weight of them. Sophia was exhausted. All she had done was lie on her back, but he had licked her so expertly. She had experienced such a deep orgasm that it had made her clench every muscle.
He cradled her in his arms as she recovered. His fingers played with her nipples and she rested her head against his chest. After a few minutes, she lowered herself to him and took his throbbing hardness into her mouth. She loved the smooth feel of his head, and the ribbed feel of his shaft, as she moved herself down his length. The Duke was impressed how deep she took him. When she put her hand on his balls and squeezed, he wanted to hold her head and come inside her wet mouth. She felt him jerk and she pulled away.
She wanted him come inside her, not in her mouth. Now she took charge. She pushed him onto his back and straddled him. She felt his cock at her entrance and slowly lowered herself onto him. She put her hands on his large chest and began to grind herself against him. Once again, she felt wave after wave seep up from her sex to her brain. She rode him faster feeling him slide in and out of her. When he thrust up into her, she came again.
He loved the sight of her breasts as they wobbled under the strain. He grabbed her shaking body and rolled her over without pulling out of her. She was still on a high plateau when he began to thrust hard into her. Her legs wrapped around him and she clung onto him as he ravaged her sex. As his cock slipped in and out of her, it rubbed against her clitoris. She was so overcome she dug her nails into his back and raked upwards. It hurt him but he just gritted his teeth and pushed harder.
When he started grunting, Sophia reached down for his balls. She felt them swell and when she felt his semen splashing inside her, she came again.
''Thank you, my Lord. That was most satisfying.'' Sophia said as she lay naked next to the Duke.
''You will come to me again in three days. You know where this house is now. Meet me in the afternoon at two o'clock. Please don't be late. This evening I waited for you, as you obviously could not leave until all your guests had gone. Generally, however, I have a hatred of waiting, so please don't disappointment me.”
''No, my Lord,'' Sophia said. She liked him taking command.

''Sophia, Sophia,'' Alice shouted.
''I'm here in the conservatory. What's the matter? You are shouting as if the world is about to end.''
''I have news from France. There has been a terrible battle at a place called Waterloo. The Duke of Wellington has defeated Napoleon. Thousands have been slain. Look at the newspaper here. I borrowed it from father.''
Sophia took the paper and began to read the short article.
'News has arrived from France, that British and Prussian forces, led by the Duke of Wellington and General von Blucher, have defeated the forces of the French army, led by Napoleon, at a village called Waterloo, in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The British casualties are thought to be heavy, with 6500 men losing their lives and 10,000 injured. It is known that most of the Duke's brave officers have been slain.
We will print more details when more news arrives.
''Most of the Duke's officers have been slain? David was an officer... he......'' Sophia stopped in mid-sentence. She glanced at Alice with a blank look on her face. ''David,'' she repeated.
She didn't know what to feel. It was probable that David was dead. She had only just married him, and now she was in all likelihood a widow. She thought of David's impotence on their wedding night, and, while it had been a very important matter to her at the time, and since, now it seemed trivial. A tiny insignificance that they could have come to terms with, and sought help for.
''My dear, are you alright? You look suddenly very pale.''
''Yes, I'm fine. This has been quite a shock. That's all.''

''Two weeks and I have heard nothing of my husband,'' Sophia said as she sat with her three friends in her garden. ''No news at all. There have been detailed reports in all the newspapers but no names of the dead have been published.''
The other three didn't know what to say to their friend. ''Sophia, we are very sorry that you are being kept waiting in the cruelest way,'' said Emily.
“Yes, it is most unfortunate. We all feel for you, dear Sophia,'' Charlotte added. ''Tell us how you really feel, perhaps it will do you good to speak out your true feelings.''
''My feelings are difficult to put into words. I had a husband and now I don't. We married and spent one unsuccessful evening together, and that was our marriage. Since I have neither seen nor heard anything from my husband. It must be the shortest marriage in history.''
''Have you been seeing the Duke?'' Alice asked.
