Welcome to Sample Sunday! Thanks for coming by. Here’s a selection from Return to Brackford (Brackford Hall Book 2):
When Charles reached the door to Lady Charlotte’s bedroom, he didn’t bother to knock, or even to peep through the keyhole. He shoved the key into the lock and burst into the room. It took Andrew a moment to realize what was happening before he shoved himself off of Lady Charlotte, sputtering.
“This…isn’t what it looks like!”
Lady Charlotte examined her fingernails.
“Don’t be stupid, darling. It’s exactly what it looks like.”
The dark-haired woman’s droll tone and lack of remorse took Charles by surprise. Unthinking, he whirled on her and opened his mouth to scold, or perhaps to shout, but the words died in his throat as he caught sight of his sister’s cousin-by-marriage.
Raven hair fell against creamy skin which stood in stark contrast to the deep red bedspread. Lady Charlotte’s peach-colored silk undergarments were pulled partly down, stretched taut between her thighs, looking as though they might rip in two. Charles curled his lip in disgust and he tore his eyes away from Charlotte to glare at his brother-in-law.
“Couldn’t even wait to get her knickers down, could you?” he leered.
Andrew huffed even as he clumsily donned his pajama shirt and started to fumble with the buttons.
“How dare you!” Andrew spat.
“How dare I? Are you honestly standing in judgment of me? When your wife is down the hall, alone, while you carry on with your slut of a cousin?”
Charlotte looked up.
“I’m not a slut.”
“You could have fooled me. And Harry Beaumont as well.” Charlotte gasped. “Oh yes. I know all about that. Does he?”
Charles jabbed his thumb towards Andrew as he raked his eyes over Charlotte’s nearly naked body, making her squirm under his appraisal. Andrew, having tugged on his pants and dressing gown, made for the door.
“Where are you going?”
“I—I thought I had better leave.”
“You’re going to duck out of the room and leave me alone, naked, in a room with a man I barely know? Honestly, Andrew.”
“Yes. Honestly, Andrew,” Charles mocked them.
“You needn’t be so horrid,” Charlotte snapped.
“I’m sorry. Exactly how should I treat my sister’s knave of a husband and his mistress?”
Charlotte sighed and reached for the coverlet. As she dragged it up to her breasts, Charles fisted the other end of it and yanked it away.
“No. Stay as you are.”
“What?”
“I said stay as you are.”
“You must be mad.”
“Not at all.”
Charlotte chanced a glance at Charles’s midsection. His pants were straining against his very obvious erection. Charlotte smirked.
“I see.” she cooed. “Perhaps you ought to dismount your high horse. Haven’t you got a fiancé in London?”
Charles gulped. He couldn’t think for the tightness in his pants. Andrew hovered awkwardly by the door with his hand on the knob, but not turning it. He watched in shock as Charlotte crawled to where Charles stood menacingly at the foot of the bed.
“So what is your plan, exactly?” she asked, rising up in front of Charles, her knickers still stretched taut between her thighs. “Are you going to run down the hall and get her right now? Are you going to bring a photographer next time? Are you going to be responsible for rubbing your dear sister’s face in this?”
Charles fiddled his thumb and fingers together. Andrew held his breath. Charlotte, bold and wonderful, knelt proudly at the end of the bed, eye-to-eye with Olivia’s indignant brother.
“No. I’ve suddenly got a better idea.” Charles kept his eyes locked on Charlotte as he motioned to Andrew.
“Brother, why don’t you stop being ridiculous and get back on the bed?”
“Wh-what?” Andrew stuttered.
“I think it looks rather comfortable, don’t you? Take your clothes off and lie down.”
Andrew’s feet began to move before he thought much of where Charles was leading them. He reached the bed, stripped, and then laid down upon it, his legs dangling off the edge. Charles wiggled his eyebrows at Charlotte.
“Go on then.”
“What?”
He reached out and tugged her knickers to her knees.
“Go on, then. Go to him. Straddle him.”
