Albert Arrondale, better known as Sir Allan Dale these days, wasn’t a happy man.
He had to be very careful being back in Midland. He was well known, and while he looked different and ten years had passed since he was last here, he knew the Constables had a more recent description of him. Frankie had suggested they needed to alter his face some more. He was happy to give Albert a couple of more scars if he wished.
Albert didn’t find his suggestion funny at all. It had been touch-and-go whether he would live after he got the scar that now crossed his face. An irate father had taken exception to him fucking his daughter when he was living in Jahyundi.
After the King had exiled him, he had headed home and packed up everything of value he could lay his hands on and headed north-west. He made it to Haldol, the capital city of Nordland. He had hocked off what he could and then headed west for Sailfish Cove.
Albert knew he couldn’t stay in Nordland, as the two Kings let each other know when someone was exiled, and they often shifted them on if they turned up in each other’s countries. He had chosen D’Jang the continent to the south-west over Paulartica because he knew his money would go further, plus they had slaves.
He was planning on buying a farm and raising horses and screwing pretty slave girls. The best horseflesh came from D’Jang. It also had similar weather conditions to Nirvana, and he hated the excessive heat of Paulartica. He wasn’t in love with the people from there either. Iceland to the north also was not his first option.
The first seven years of his exile had gone well. Albert had picked up a decent property for a song and was soon searching for horses and girls to stock it with. He had a good eye for both, and he didn’t take long to make a name for himself as a breeder of fine horseflesh.
Then he fucked up. He found breeding horses was just as boring as growing crops. Albert also found that while fucking the slave girls was fun, he missed the chase. They didn’t put up any fight and just bent over for him. He’d had to resort to a little torture to get a reaction out of them.
They also didn’t fuck him back or love him as his Maria had. Of all his conquests, she had been the only one who inspired him to keep coming back to her. He knew that he should have married her instead of getting her to seduce Ty, but she was the only person he had ever met who seemed to be able to screw up Ty’s lie radar.
He was that pissed-off when he heard she had died in childbirth that he had gotten drunk for a week. Albert knew that when Ty had busted him with Maria, that his goose was cooked. He had already tried four times to get rid of Ty, but his nephew seemed to live a charmed life. Maria wasn’t helping towards the end, as she got really sick and moody during her pregnancy.
She was very resentful that Ty had gotten her pregnant on their honeymoon as she had planned to fall pregnant with Albert’s child as soon as she got back. She knew it was Ty’s child because they hadn’t been able to spend any time together in the weeks just before the wedding and she’d had her monthly during those weeks.
Albert got worried when she started telling him that she was having second thoughts about helping him kill Ty. She was finding it harder to lie to Ty and got jittery even being in his company, let alone letting him touch her. She had told Albert that Ty’s gift was getting stronger the more he used it. He was questioning her actions and whereabouts more and more.
During those final months, Albert found that if he didn’t screw her often and well and reminded her that she was his, then she might tell Ty his plans when she had one of her moods. He had planned to act again very soon when Ty had caught him.
The moodiness Maria had displayed reminded him of his first wife, Sienna. She’d also had mood swings when she was pregnant, and she would even lock her door to him. She had told him that his rough loving of her made her bleed and she didn’t want to lose the child.
Sienna didn’t like him fucking the maids either and this often led to arguments where she had to be put in her place. It wasn’t as if he loved her and she knew it. He’d only been eighteen when they married, and he felt that he still had a lot of willing women to fuck.
If Sienna hadn’t told Henry and her father that he had gotten her pregnant, he wouldn’t have had to marry the silly bitch. She had been a lousy fuck and a big mistake. Even her dowry had been a pittance as most of the money was held in a trust fund. Arranging the death of her prick of a father had been one of his joys. He’d even been smart enough not to do it, until after the brat was born.
Albert was rather nonchalant about killing. He was unaware that his moral radar was rather warped, and his every decision had been affected from the time he had accidentally pushed his beloved mother down some stairs. He was thirteen, and they were arguing about his habit.
Unbeknown to the rest of his family Albert had a substance abuse problem. He had always been an over-active kid. When Albert was eleven, he had fallen and broken his leg. His mother had always doted on him, and Albert loved having her attention. He was, however, a very fractious patient.
Nadack was a very powerful pain-relieving drug. His mother made the mistake of mixing the nadack with another rare herb that was supposed to calm a person. However, the two herbs when used together had some nasty side-effects. Addiction was the least of them.
Albert needed a fix every day or he went a tad crazy and did stupid and dangerous things. He was also mean and callous to everyone who displeased him. He could fly into a rage over the least of things. What was worse was that Albert’s ability to feel strong feelings like remorse, guilt, love or compassion, were dulled from the drugs.
His mother had been trying to wean him off the drugs, which is what led to the argument. The horror of killing his mother had also added a block in his mind because he didn’t want to remember what he did. His mother’s affection seemed to be the only strong, loving feeling that Albert had been able to still feel. Seeing her twisted and lifeless body at the bottom of the stairs turned the key.
Albert had always enjoyed hunting. After his mothers’ death, he found that he enjoyed the chase more than the kill. He was quite happy to set up situations and accidents that might cause the demise of another, especially if it removed a perceived obstacle from his path. He didn’t really get any pleasure from doing the actual killing part; it was simply a means to an end if he had to do it himself.
His Father-in-law’s death gave Albert access to more of the trust fund, and he got more money to spend. He was also glad when he finally got rid of ‘That genteel, stuck-up bitch that he had married’. Taking out his brother, Henry’s, ‘Interfering cow of a wife’, had been a bonus as far as he was concerned.
Interestingly, he did think it was a damn shame he’d had to organise the death of the coachman. He had thought the man was a ‘good whip’ (coach driver).
His reward for killing Sienna had been the freeing up of more of the money from the trust fund. As long as Vincent was kept alive, he got the dividends. Not being able to dispose of the brat had irritated him nearly as much as Vincent’s bookishness and lack of interest in sports and manly activities. His consolation was that he could at least fuck whomever he wanted to again.
After Vincent’s mother’s death, Albert found that the looks Vincent often gave him were unsettling. They always made him feel as if he should be sorry for something he had done. Guilt didn’t rate high in Albert’s book of emotions and it, trying to push its way back into his consciousness was not to his liking. He couldn’t get Vincent off to the Academe soon enough.
In hindsight, he should have killed his wife before she whelped. Even though the money he inherited after he got rid of her was nice, at his age, he could have found a richer heiress than Sienna. He wouldn’t have had ended up with a kid tying him down or competing against his own inheritance.
It was when he accidentally caused the death of his brother and sister that he decided that he should get rid of Ty too. Then he would rule Arrondale and Midland. What he did to please himself, and access to money wouldn’t be problems anymore with the interfering relatives gone from his life.
He told himself that he had only meant to frighten his family. He wanted to warn them to stay out of his business, but the old house had burnt so damn fast, it had even shocked him that they didn’t escape.
It was not long after the accident that he got the idea to use Maria to seduce Ty. He wasn’t so worried about Prue surviving the fire when she didn’t blab about him and Maria. Her staying out of his way and at the Academe had been a bonus for him. The only thing was Ty was bloody hard to kill.
Ty then turned the tables on Albert and got him exiled. Albert wasn’t a happy man when Ty proved to the King that he could tell when people were lying. The fact that he and Maria had been presented to the King half-dressed didn’t play so well into his act of innocence. Then the stupid bitch had confessed that they had tried to kill Ty.
He still didn’t understand why Ty had taken-in his useless son and treated him as if he was his brother. When he heard that Ty had handed Midland over to his insipid son, he had been ropable. By rights, he should have handed the Dukedom over to him if he was going to just give it away.
Now he had to use sub-defuse to get his inheritance back.
Albert’s latest lot of trouble started in his last three years in Jahyundi.
Albert got bored with his farm and to be honest, he was lonely. He had started spending more and more time at Court, and he started using a substance called Snort. Albert didn’t realise that drug was a more potent cousin to the one that he still took on occasions when he couldn’t sleep or felt edgy.
He had never totally shaken his dependency, but a small tote when he got stressed was enough to keep him level. The new drugs addictive qualities snuck up on the user. The effects were pleasant and made him feel mellow.
He also made some new friends. Unfortunately, he didn’t appreciate that they were the type of people that other members of the Aristocracy didn’t approve of. He had always liked the racier crowd. He then got dragged into the racing game, and it was not long before his excesses were getting him into even more trouble.
By the start of his ninth year in exile, he had lost what was left of his estate on a race and realised he was destitute. His only avenue to come back from poverty was to find a rich wife. He had also found his charm wasn’t what it used to be.
Because he spent most of his time drinking and using Snort, he had put on a lot of weight, he had even greyed at the temples and his hair was streaked with silver. He looked more like a man in his late-forties rather than the thirty-seven that he was.
He finally found a plump pigeon to pluck. While she had given him a little bit of a chase, once he caught her, he found she wasn’t very exciting. However, he had to play nice, as her father was bloody rich and an Amir (Lord). Albert knew if he hurt Rosie, his own life would be in jeopardy.
To Albert’s way of thinking, Rosie was as plain as a paper bag, thick as a brick and fat as a pregnant sow due to drop. Although she was only seventeen, she was older than his current tastes preferred. He had been doing everything he could to get her pregnant.
He had heard murmurs at the time that higher society in Jahyundi was contemplating adopting the same laws as decreed by King Harold of Ausland. This was regarding marriage and the loss of virginity not being a reason to make a couple marry. The new Khan of Jahyundi was looking into many reforms.
So, to make sure he got his pigeon, he needed to get Rosie pregnant before this happened. He had talked her into coming on an outing with him and ditched the chaperone in the park. He got her to his flat over the brothel and soon had her kneeling on the bed for him. At least she had been tight, and he fucked into her hard making her scream when he forced through her thick hymen.
He didn’t think she masturbated or had ever ridden a horse for her cunnie’s opening to be so closed up. He had played nice, and when she settled down, he fucked her for all he was worth. He had always had good control and worked her until she came for him.
Albert had cuddled Rosie afterwards and told her how much he loved her and how much she excited him. That he couldn’t wait until she was his wife. She was putty in his hands. She didn’t get a lot of attention from males and had been rather sheltered.
He got her back to the flat on six more occasions over the next month. Rosie was even helping him set up times for them to meet to Albert’s delight. She did seem to enjoy a good fuck. He had taught her what to do to make it nicer for them both.
He was rather partial to head-jobs done well, and he would go down on a girl. Rosie happily complied believing he loved her, especially because she loved what he did to her. Albert did decide that she had some potential. Once they were married, he would teach her what really turned him on.
It was their next encounter when her father burst in on them. Albert was in the process of filling her with his seed. Rosie’s father had very different ideas on whom, he wanted his only child to join with and it wasn’t some upstart, exiled Baron from Ausland.
The Amir had also done some checking when he had realised Albert was sniffing around his daughter. He wasn’t happy with what he learned. He knew his Rosie wasn’t the prettiest girl around, but she was a nice girl, and he’d already had another offer for her.
Finding Albert balls deep in his daughter had him sufficiently enraged that he drew his sword and slashed at Albert when he looked at him. Albert had screamed and reared off Rosie. While Albert writhed in pain and bled profusely, Rosie found herself bundled up and tossed in a coach and on her way to the families’ county estate before she had even dribbled out Albert’s cum.
Albert’s primary thoughts became how to stop his face from bleeding. He was amazed he hadn’t died from the wound. Having his face damn near slashed in two was the most painful wound he had ever experienced. His friend, Frankie Yates, had given him some heavy doses of Snort to help ease the pain.
Frankie owed the establishment that Albert was using as his new home. He had become Albert’s bosom buddy the year before when they learned, they had similar interests and had both been evicted from their homelands. Frankie was from Nordland and Albert later learned that he was in fact also wanted for murder in Ausland.
They didn’t get regular supplies of Nadack here, and Snort was cheaper and easier to obtain. Previously, he and Frankie had been recreational users, but Albert soon found, due to the doses he’d recently receive for his pain, he became fully addicted to the stuff.
Frankie’s brother Mattie warned Albert it was best to keep the stuff away from Frankie, as he did stupid things when high. Albert soon worked out why Mattie had warned him. He learned that while he liked his partners younger and didn’t mind inflicting a little pain, he didn’t get-off torturing and then killing them as Frankie did. It was rather pointless and a waste of a whore to Albert.
Frankie’s wife, Anne Yates, ran their other brothel in Sailfish Cove in Nordland. When things got hot there, she had sent Frankie here to run the other side of their business. He purchased the slaves to send to her. They even owned two ships for collecting and transporting them.
Slaves here were dirt-cheap, and many in the aristocracy didn’t really care what happened to them, as long as, they didn’t tend to end up being found tortured, mutilated and dead in alleyways. Some goodie-two-shoes had started writing in the local news-sheets about the fact the victims were very young and demanding the law do something about it.
The crux came when the author started hinting that the man killing the slaves was an animal and would do the same to any child. Not a week later, Frankie had been high when he snatched a pretty boy from the park near them. He had been particularly brutal with him.
They headed south. They decided to continue on to John’s even though they believed it had been a fake message. Prue wanted to see him anyway. The two crates on the roof of the carriage were for him. They took it easy as Nianna and Tah’s heads still hurt. Prue sent a message ahead, so John knew they were coming. He was delighted to see them. “Oh my! Isn’t she a little heartbreaker,” John said when he picked up Nianna. He looked at her and then at Tah. “I’m glad you’re going to make an...
The day of the wedding arrived, and Willow had the jitters. She was surprised she was worried, but Grace helped put her at ease, saying that she had felt the same. Prue was going to be her matron of honour and Ulani had agreed to be the maid. Bethany got to be the flower girl again, of course. Ulani felt honoured to be asked. She even received a message from her father saying he was happy with her new choice of friends. He supported her mother in her choice to stay and attend the Academe....
I went running to the house next door. The pool party was in full swing and I had for some reason got a massive erection. I happened to be looking at Emma Logan's swim suit, you could almost see right thru it and she smiled at me. My cock went to rock hard in about two second and I knew my swimsuit would not hide it at all. The only thing I could do was run to the vacant house next door and either take a cold shower or masturbate. I knew the owners of the house were at the party so I ran thru...
By the time the trio finally got up, it was late in the morning. They met in the dining room. Ty was grumpy with a mild hangover, while Willow was tense, not looking forward to the day ahead. Vincent was the only one in a good mood. Hettie had slipped into his room earlier and taken care of his morning problem while he took care of her insatiable itch. If he didn’t need to get back to start school, he would be more than happy to stay a few more days and keep scratching it for her. Morris...
Prue rode into the yard. She got down off the horse and gave it to the stable lad. “Do you know if the owner of that carriage is inside?” “Yes, Ma’am, the man and his daughter got hurt by highwaymen. The constables are out trying to track them. The man said they took his wife.” Prue sighed in relief that Tah was okay. “What of the little girl?” The young man shook his head sadly, “She was still unconscious, and the man is in a bad way, worrying about her.” Tears welled in Prue’s eyes....
Oh my God I had never had such a raging hard on before......my cock was stiff and throbbing as Albert slowly teased me pumping his old calloused hand up and down my shaft before pulling my foreskin right back and dipping his head he sucked the tip into his mouth and sucked as he slid his lips down my shaft to the base and slowly oh so slowly back up to the tip. I was being sucked and wanked by an 71 year old pervert who had persuaded me to let him into my toilet cubicle ... a place I often...
There was no good news in the next couple of days. Albert and Frankie had disappeared. Inspector Tyrone came out to tell them they had searched the taverns and dives and couldn’t find them. Apparently, Anne’s boys were looking too, and they hadn’t had any success either. A Constable reported that a carriage had been stolen from one of the Estates and they now believed the men had left the area. Paul decided to head back to Terville with the news. There wasn’t anything left for him to do...
Prue and Tina soon settled in on the ship. This trip would take six weeks, and Prue was glad she could afford the bigger accommodation. It was designed as a family unit. She had a decent sized bed in her cabin, and one of the two smaller cabins had enough room for Tina and Nianna. They had a railing surrounding half of the lower bed. So Nianna could sleep safe and the other half of the bed made for a change table. A tiny sitting room divided the main bedroom and bathroom from the two...
Willow was very nervous at meeting the King. She wore the green striped dress and found a lovely necklace and earbobs in her mother’s jewellery box. She didn’t like wearing powders on her face so she didn’t. She did smear a pink gloss on her lips and darkened her eyelashes. She grabbed her cape and purse and headed out to the sitting room. Ty turned when he heard her door open and he stood transfixed. She was beautiful, that was all he could think. Then she smiled that little smile she gave...
Upon arrival, the crew found her a carriage and sadly loaded it for her. Prue looked up to see Stuart standing on the deck. He had a pensive look, and she too felt some sadness at parting from him. He had been an enjoyable lover. Prue’s driver took her to the orphanage. She had been amused by the look he gave her when she told him her destination. Apparently, she wasn’t the first pregnant woman he had escorted there. “Hello, I was told to see a Druid Sandie,” she said to the nurse she...
The party was more than glad to pull up in the circular drive of Terrell Manor. Victor was first out of the coach and was soon happily being hugged by his cousins. He’d loved the idea of spending all of winter with them and had been more than enthusiastic in the trip north. He had a lot to tell them about his trip. The kids were soon carting him off to show him his new room as he was going to be in the communal nursery with them. Nanny Dee followed in their wake to keep an eye on him. She...
Carol had started playing up to Vincent. She acted as if she was his old lover and that Ulani was in the way of them being together because he had to marry her. She staged little scenes to make it look like Vincent was pursuing her. She would give Ulani little guilty looks but then look at Vincent as if he was the love of her life. She was really pissing Ulani off. Vincent had noticed the tension between the two, but with all his other problems, he didn’t realise what Carol had been doing...
Albert married Carol a week later. That was probably the most noble thing he had done in an exceedingly long time. The lawyer had checked his credentials, and grudgingly, with a few growls and threats from Albert, he had finally signed the trust over to Lord Ronald Pirelli and his new wife, Lady Carol. When Albert had gone over the Portfolio, he knew the bastard lawyer had been milking the Trust and cheating Carol. Also, he should have handed it over to her when she turned twenty-five,...
The next three weeks flew by. Prue was working on her designs and the textbook. Tah spent more time with her than his friends. Raghu also spent a lot of time with them and Tina. Prue found Raghu had a very good eye for design and a strong mechanical aptitude. He picked out several issues that he helped her improve. Tah became her editor and sounding board for her book. He was fascinated with it and asked her lots of questions. They even set up experiments so he could see her theories in...
So where was Vincent’s honeymoon? Would you believe that they went home? On one of their shopping expeditions a week before the wedding. Ulani found a small flock of eight Uno’s with fleece that shone like silver. The man selling them said that while their fleece was pretty, it was almost impossible to get it to form a thread. Plus, he didn’t have a boar to service them as the boar he’d purchased died on the trip here, and none of the ewes was pregnant. He’d tried two other boars that were...
The two men decided it was time to get up. They packed their gear up outside the tent. Ty started breakfast while Vincent started pulling the tent down. Vincent looked at his relaxed cousin, “We should do this more often, Ty. I have really enjoyed this week.” Ty smiled at Vincent indulgently, “I have too. I miss our camping trips as well. You have come a long way from the skinny little kid, frightened of his own shadow.” The two men smiled at each other both remembering the first time Ty...
Vincent’s eyelids fluttered. When Vincent first became aware of the world again, he saw a beautiful sight hovering over him. “Ulani?” he said with a croak. She looked down on him. She didn’t seem happy to see him. Another face joined hers. It was an old man’s face, complete with a long white beard and the bushiest eyebrows, Vincent had ever seen. The old man placed his hand on Vincent’s head, “I think the fever has abated, at last, Princess. If he hadn’t been so healthy, he would have...
The next seven months were very busy for the people living in Tah’s house. Prue worked on the business side as required. For the most part, she left it up to the team she had put together to get things up and running. It was their town and their people, so they knew who was who, where the best places to build were and where to get the resources that they need. Lyle had turned out a godsend, and he ran the office. Tah and Raghu looked after everything that needed to happen out of the office....
Chapter 14: Passing the Torch One day Julie was playing around on MySpace. She was doing me a favor, checking all of the pages I had made for myself and every pseudonym I had lived under when I was living the life of the gambler, I wasn’t very good about keeping up on them myself. That was much more Julie’s thing—a reflection, perhaps, of the age/generation gap between us. On my personal page (that is, the one in my real name) Julie noticed that I had gotten a bunch of messages from a girl...
Gifted Grifter #8: The Return of Jessie My ‘sugar daddy’ weekend with Julie changed me. I missed her terribly after seeing her off at the airport. Since the time I had invented the mindreader until that weekend, I my primary objective had been to use my device to seduce as many hot women as possible. But now, when I thought of having sex with a hot woman, I always pictured Julie. Simple fact was, everything I liked to do—which was pretty much everything—she did better than any other woman I...
Vincent’s thoughts returned to the Winter Season when he and Ulani had just turned eighteen. In the year leading up to the Winter Season, Leigh’s father, Baron David Karlson, had married Ulani’s cousin and companion, Gail. Willow had said that Ulani was welcome to stay in the Terrell Mansion in Bavindor since Ulani would be attending the Academe with Vincent and Leigh that year. Because Vincent was still Ty’s ward, he lived at the Mansion. Leigh had moved out of home to give his father some...
The man collapsed to the ground and died. The collective gasp caused the survivor to look over at the spectators. As he did, his gun also tracked a path to stop so that it pointed at the chest of the other big man sitting on a horse. The big man was lifting his gun to shoot Vincent. “Stop. You are all under arrest for murder. Drop your guns now,” barked Vincent. However, the horseman showed his intent as he aimed the gun. This bullet did hit bone first but still did nasty things inside his...
She woke to him caressing her breast. He was just rubbing it gently through the nightie she wore, and it felt wonderful. She pressed her arse back into him, and he didn’t disappoint, as he was hard and ready. She knew he loved morning nookies. He groaned, “Please don’t Kitten. I just needed you with me last night. I’m sorry I was such a bastard and didn’t trust you. I upset you when you hadn’t done anything wrong. You hadn’t had a chance to talk to me about the will, and I jumped to...
The following night they decided to dine in. Once they ended up in the entertainment room, the discussion changed to wedding plans again. Prue had been stewing on the couch, and Nianna was, as per usual, in Tah’s lap. Prue still couldn’t accept that the only way of getting out of marrying Tah was to petition his father. She also knew it would cost her a lot to get out of the agreement. Jonas had made it very clear that he approved of the marriage. He wouldn’t be happy with her. “Wait, it...

Ty went into Terville the next morning. He needed to talk to the Constable and finalise the arrangements for the burial of Harry. He got a more comprehensive report of just what had been happening. The Constable said they had scared the rogues off on a couple of occasions. The men had been sneaky and had even resorted to killing the guards the last time. The scoundrels had also fired other fields to draw them off so they could go back to Baron Terrell’s estate. They had disappeared over the...
Willow hadn’t seen her father die. When she had heard the shots, she had headed back to the camp at a run. She had wandered further from the camp than she had first thought. It was late when they had stopped, but she had needed the exercise and had gone for a walk. By the time she got back close to the glade, she had heard her mother’s screams. The man called Harry had been trying to rip off her mother’s clothes. Her mother grabbed the hand with the knife with both of hers and stabbed it...
Vincent peered around the trunk of the tree. This section of forest was more open as it was regrowth. It still had a lot of shrubbery and short trees that were hampering his vision. He saw the man aim at him, and he quickly pulled his head back. A fraction of a second later, the shot chipped a large chunk of bark off the tree near his head. Vincent swore silently. He tried to ignore the sweat on his palms and dribbling down his back, as he heard another shot ring-out over to his left where...
Viincent hadn’t bothered with a new mistress that Winter Season. Seeing and being around Ulani again, he even found his visits to the tavern for sex had stopped. He hadn’t actually used one of the girls for months. He still found Ulani’s nearness affected him. He knew that he wanted her and was learning that her coolness was very frustrating. The problem was, he wasn’t ready to settle down and he knew Ulani wasn’t in the habit of playing around according to the rumours. He kept a careful...
Vincent shook off the memories. He sighed, and then he focused on the report he was writing. He concentrated on getting it complete. He had just finished when Paul came back with Ty. The prisoner had been conscious for a while, but Vincent hadn’t spoken to him. When he and Ty stood in front of the man, he looked at them in fear. They both knew they had developed a reputation that if they got on your trail, you would end up in prison. But the young man’s fear seemed irrational. Ty said,...
Ty was sitting in the library enjoying a drink. He was reading one of Willow’s many books. She had a whole section on Nordland and Ty was brushing up on their history, as they were the dignitaries that were coming for the Winter Season. The fields were bare, and they had already had a light smattering of snow. As soon as the product was packed into the crates, they would head to Bavindor. One of the big barns was heated, and the bags of leaves were packed flat in set weights, on the racks...
The next morning, Willow received a note from David that he needed to see her about her house. She needed to find the wedding planner and go to the auction house, so decided to visit David first. She took Prue with her and Brain drove. They were ushered in and offered tea but declined. David greeted them, “Lady Willow you look radiant today. Lady Prudence, it is also a pleasure to see you. Willow, we have a problem with the house. The agent contacted me yesterday. It was why I had to...
By the next evening, they were all established in Tah’s house. Walter had gone home and told Mary and his family of the job offer, the new company and his and Brian’s involvement. He explained the pseudo-companion reason for her to move into Tah’s house. He didn’t tell her that Prue had no intentions of marrying Tah and that it was their business as far as he was concerned. Mary had been having a hard time trying to get other businesses to take her skills serious. Walter assured her she...
Tah turned up later that morning. He had Raghu, Ulani and Grace with him. He invited Willow, Prue, Tina and the kids to an outing. Vincent said he was in, “Do want to see if Silvia and Mathew wanted to come with their kids?” he asked. Everyone agreed that would be great and he went to see what they had planned for the day. David and Leigh turned up while he was gone and they were happy to come too. Leigh sent a note to Gill and his sisters to meet them at the Zoo. When Tah went into the...
Gifted Grifter #12: Julie Whips Wall Street Our seed money now in hand, we opened up two online stock trading accounts, one in my name and one in Julie’s. To avoid the suspicion two separate accounts doing substantially similar trades might generate if noticed, we set our accounts up with different brokers. For an additional fee, we arranged for the brokers to pay estimated taxes and capital gains out of our accounts as needed, leaving us free to just do day trading. With any luck, they would...
Gifted Grifter #5: Lake Country Girls I decided to go up the lake country area for the weekend again. I put in a call to Erin, my red-haired real estate agent up there, and told her what I was looking for and at what price. The first time I had rented through her, I had seduced her using my mindreading sunglasses, but the second time she had been all business. I guess this time would be the tiebreaker. In order to have any chance at seducing her again, I figured, two things had to happen....
Chapter 6: Julie Pays the Bills, Part I For nearly a year I had been living as the Gifted Grifter, and I was getting into an established routine. I would travel to Vegas or Atlantic City under an assumed name, betting horses and sports during the day, using my mindreading glasses to pick up tips from knowledgeable bettors. At night I would hit the poker rooms, using my glasses to know what everyone else at the table had in their hands when the table stakes got big, with those advantages, I...
Ty and Willow headed upstairs after dinner. Ty made her sit on the bed beside him. “Willow, we have to discuss our relationship and how this is going to work. I know I did the wrong thing encouraging you to sleep with me. You are a breathtaking and desirable woman. But if you were to have a chance of finding a husband, it would be best we didn’t continue to sleep together. Willow looked at him, “So I’m not good enough for you is that it?” Ty rubbed his face and stood. He paced the room and...
The trip to Bavindor was relatively uneventful. They made a long carriage train, which got longer when they picked up the Dwyer’s, their five wagons and a carriage, on the way. While it was common for thieves to attack the shipments, the local robbers gave them a wide berth due to their escort. The two older members of their Growers Society also joined them, citing safety in numbers. Ty and Willow had no problems including them, as they were, after all, members of their little society and...
When Willow awoke the next morning, Ty was already gone. She sorted through the morning mail and found a note from the lawyer a Baron David Karlson, who had contacted her the month before. She decided she had better go see him before she got any busier. She told Grace she was going out. She didn’t need to be accompanied as she was just going to see a lawyer and would take Brain with her. She dressed and went to the stables to find Brain. He was happy to drive the carriage and take her to...
Ty headed to the apartment. He fumed the whole way there. He entered the apartment and went and knocked on Willow door, “Willow the King has requested your presence, I’m to take you back.” Willow yelled at him, “Piss-off.” Ty sighed and tried the door. To his surprise, she hadn’t locked it, so he went in. She was lying face down on her bed. He rolled her back onto his arm, slid the other under her legs and picked her up. She struggled, “Put me down,” she ground out. She was very upset and...
After dinner, the party made their way to the ballroom. It was already packed with the guests who hadn’t been invited to dinner. The gossips wanted to know just who had been privileged enough to be invited. Ty escorted Willow into the ballroom. She clutched his arm, “Oh my, please don’t leave me alone in that sea. I’ll get drowned.” Ty had to laugh. He pressed his hand over hers and gripped it. He smiled as he led her into the throng. He introduced her around to people he thought she...
Grace was in the kitchen kneading dough. “What on earth are you doing woman? You should be getting your beauty sleep for your wedding tomorrow.” Grace smiled at him, “I find it relaxing.” “What? Are you nervous about getting married?” he asked as he went to the icebox and scooped some slushy ice into a jug. “Yes.” “Why? Hugh loves you. Anyone can see that,” he inquired, finding himself sitting at the table and watching her as he sipped his drink. Grace finished shaping the loaves as she...
Ty woke to hear Willow vomiting into the privy. In spite of his worry about her, he had to smile in delight. Well, she did warn him. It was just as well they were getting married in two weeks. She came back out, and he lifted the blanket so she could crawl back in with him. Willow snuggled back into his embrace, and he kissed her neck and hugged her then rubbed her belly. “No need to be so damn smug, you beastly man,” she grumbled. “I love you, Willow and you will be an awesome mother. I...
Vincent had been enjoying his time on the farm. Early in his third week on the farm, several things happened. Ulani’s shearers turned up for one. They sheared early in autumn to give the animals time to regrow their coats for winter. They were sheared again in mid-spring, so they carried lighter coats into summer. The winter coats were worth more than the summer ones. Vincent wondered if Ulani would be happy to move her flocks to his estate. He believed they could do well in the mountain...
Ulani rolled over to find a man in her bed. Vincent’s hand had been on her hip as if making sure she was beside him during the night. She watched him as he slept. She had a feeling the not too many women had experienced Vincent as she had last night or got to watch him sleep. They all said he never stayed, he always insisted on protection, and once he came, he left. He had done none of those things last night. She wasn’t even sure how many times he made love to her. He had spent a lot of...
Vincent and Ulani were going to stay at the Way Station that was half a day’s ride from the Terville’s Manor in Bavindor. They had left later than they planned from the one they had stayed in the night before. Vincent blamed it on Ulani, but she told him if he weren’t such a randy little cock, they would have left on time. Vincent countered that it wasn’t his fault that the sight of her naked had him worked up in mere moments. Ulani had to chuckle because she had to admit she had enticed...
Lord Ronald Pirelli and his wife Carol strolled down the gang plank as if they owned the ship. Captain Jamil said they had two nights and then they sailed the next morning. This suited Albert. Tonight, was to scope and tomorrow was to gamble. It had been close to a year since he was last here. Albert was hoping that his new body, look and name, would let him pass by the shadow of Allan Dale, as most here knew him. He’d managed to fleece a few dollars from every member of the crew and while...
The following year was busy for both Prue and Ty. During the Winter Season, Ty met Maria Holtan. She was a year younger than he was. He had become totally fascinated with her. Prue and Vincent didn’t like her, but Ty believed he was in love with her. Prue’s dislike stemmed from her knowing who she was. She hoped for Ty’s sake, his uncle had finished with her. Otherwise, things could get ugly. Maria had been introduced to Ty by his uncle as the daughter of Baron Holton who had a district in...
During the spring to summer terms, Prue’s little group spent less time together. This year they had to spend more time in their specialised fields. Reggie was heavily tied up with modifications of his brainchild the steam boiler and getting it on the market. He was developing a smaller steam engine that could be used to drive other machinery. Prue had become involved in Master Green’s projects of finding the best chemical combinations to make batteries for storing electricity and machines...
Prue was happiest at the Academe. About two months after Richard’s death, Reggie approached her and asked if he could talk to her in private. She now had five other women sharing her dorm, so they went to one of the private reading rooms in the library. It wasn’t unusual for them to be in one, as they still collaborated on the many different projects they worked on. Prue sat down and waited. Reggie paced a bit and then pulled a chair up in front of her. “Prudence you know I hold our...
Prue moved out of the hotel to her lodgings. She was soon immersed in work. She had planned to spend two months in each of the three Academies in Sunland, before going to Paulartica. She had been invited to spend three months in both of their most prestigious Universities. She had found that the first Academe in Sunland had not advanced as far as she had. They recommended that she went to the second sooner rather than later because they couldn’t help her. So she only spent about five weeks....
Prue had never spent a month on a ship before. It was an interesting experience. Captain Stuart Sandie helped make it very enjoyable. They took a fancy to each other about two seconds after their eyes met. She recognised the interesting look and returned it. He gave her his slow, crooked smile, flashing his white teeth and kinked his dark, thick curly eyebrow. The look made her wet. She was surprised by her own reaction. But then again it had been nearly five months since she had shared her...
Prue woke about two hours later to find herself wrapped in a man’s arms. It took her a moment to realise first, that it wasn’t Sandie, then to remember it was Tah. He was taller and harder than Sandie. He hugged differently as well. His big hand was firmly attached to one of her tits. Sandie generally hugged her waist and tended to leave a little more space between their bodies. Tah was skin to skin, and his cock was hard and jammed between her thighs. She squeezed her butt cheeks together....
Prue and Vincent arrived the first week of the season. Prue had decided living at the Palace would be okay. She could continue to use her little house as her office. She hoped Willow didn’t need her all the time as she did have other commitments. When Ty sent her a letter, saying Baron Mathew Dwyer and his wife Silvia and their two children would be housed in old Sir Todd’s apartment across from theirs, it eased her mind. They were Willow’s neighbours and friends. More playmates for Nianna...
Prue had put on a gown that had a deceptively simple cut. Her bodice was more modest as she was supposed to be a matron, even though she was only twenty-three. She joined Ty and Vincent in the sitting room. She agreed with Ty that Vincent’s new suit and height highlighted Vincent’s well-toned body. It was no wonder he had little trouble with the ladies and he was only seventeen. Ty also looked very handsome in a suit that was similar to Vincent’s attire. They all turned as Willow came out...
The next morning Willow received a note from David. He needed to see her about her house. So Willow and Prue went to see him before going to the Auction house where Willow needed to sort out the sale of her nadack. They also had to see Mr Gary Snidel, the wedding planner. Willow’s grandfather had left her his huge house. It was practically outside the gates of the palace. It was supposed to have been rented for the Season, but the family who had rented it hadn’t been able to make the...
Prue opened her eyes to find two extra bodies in her bed. She had a little arm wrapped around her neck and two little knees in her tummy. She looked down to see her daughter cuddled up between her and Tah. Tah’s arm was wrapped over Nianna to lie on Prue’s waist. Her hand was on his hip. She looked at Tah and was glad he had put pants on. His eyes opened, and he grinned at her then looked down at his daughter. “She knocked on the door a couple of hours ago, and I had to let her in,” he...
