Chapter 11:

Rose had some pondering to do as Sean and her rode back to the estate. Mr. Edwards promised to contact her once he does some research of his own. Now that he has the Queen’s blessing - albeit very quietly- he can access some items and areas that he wouldn’t normally have the resources for.

  • A Rose’s Thorn   Chapter 10 - Mr. Edwards

    Chapter 10: Just off Main Street, sits a shabby little row of shops, all with some hand carved sign telling their wares… at the far end is the apothecary store, dark, with the sign hanging askew, some broken windows, and curtain’s torn. Clearly the townsfolk had seen to their own judgements. Rose let Sean lead them into the store, stepping over broken glass while clutching that damn voodoo doll in her bag. “Watch yer step, da nerve of people…. Ya tink ya knew yer neighbor! Guess not.” Says Mr. Edwards himself, shaking his head in dismay. Looking up, you’d think he saw a ghost. “Ack no! You’ve caused me enough grief with that damnable cursed doll!” He exclaimed, while pointing to Rose. She stopped advancing towards him. Okay, what did they say about approaching a scared animal? Don’t corner it… check, talk calmly and show no fear…. “Mr. Edwards”, started Rose…. “You must know by now that your previous rendezvous was the one who created your current circumstances, not

  • A Rose’s Thorn   Chapter 9

    Chapter 9 Sean watched Rose deal with each shopkeep, owner and staff at all 6 of the 7 places on her little list. If he hadn’t already been bedazzled by her, he would have after today. Rose stood up to the short, elderly gentleman that owned the shop containing the food containers, cutlery and linens she had ordered. When he suggested that Sean should be the contact for the account instead of putting too much stress on a poor delicate flower such as her… Sean thought she’d box his ears for sure. He wasn’t disappointed! That “delicate flower” went up one side of him and down the other, ha! She had him asking whether he should sit or stand by the conclusion of the visit. He was so apologetic, she got a bunch of beeswax candles thrown on top of the order no charge. Rose was ecstatic as they left that she checked an extra stop off the list! The upholsterer was friendly, and had some items done already from yesterday. They assured Rose and Sean that it would be loaded on the carriage by

  • A Rose’s Thorn   Chapter 8 - Go Slow

    Chapter 8: I writhed against him and he just “tsked” me! Like I was a disobedient child… well that was like a bucket of cold water on my desires. Rose tried to push him away and put some space between them but Sean misunderstood and thought she wanted to go to the bed… as he swung around and dropped them to her bed, she rolled away as fast as she could. Sean sat looking at her like a crazed banshee had just leapt off the bed, “I’m sorry if I was too forward Rose, I thought you had made up your mind about wanting me with the way you greeted me this morning.” Sean sighed as he ran his one hand through his ruddy locks as he leaned on the bedding. “Maybe we should take things slowly” he continued. Rose had a doe eyed startled look on her face because she had no idea what was going to happen. This made Sean realize that she hasn’t had any experience with rendezvous in the past, and why would she?! She’s a damned lady with a huge estate for fuck’s sakes! Okay, breathing deeply Sean t

  • A Rose’s Thorn   Chapter 7 - Sexual innuendo

    Chapter 7: Rose: Sean helped move all my belongings into another room and brought food up to dine with me. I think he was trying to guard me without letting me know he was… it didn’t matter to me how independent i was any longer. I was grateful for his company and realized I still needed a strong man to help me. As I sipped my tea trying to calm my nerves before bed, I couldn’t help observing Sean from under my lashes. Tonight I suffered quite a fright, but it also woke something inside of me that I didn’t know was there…. lust. Not for the drunkard that tried to take what wasn’t his, but the act itself that something so hard looking could feel soft when pressed between my folds. Luckily he never penetrated, and that is as close to feeling that sacred act as I have ever been. Thinking of the drunks cock had my line of sight drifting to Sean’s breeches wondering what his would look like, are they all the same? I would assume they are different sizes, as women’s breasts fall in varying

  • A Rose’s Thorn   Chapter 6 - Inn (warning rape trigger)

    Chapter 6: Bump, bump, bump bump bumpity bump! Someone needed to do something about the road to town from the estate! Rose had been thrown out of her seat and onto the floor of the carriage 3 times now, how on earth Sean and the driver were still on their perch never mind the furniture still attached was beyond comprehension! She would have to talk to her father about having it fixed. Besides the horrible ride, the scenery was quite beautiful. Lush green hills with spots of heather growing to add colour and fragrance. Giant trees in gatherings and groups were so eerie to cross through. The town was just reaching time for high tea when Rose arrived at the inn. As Sean unpacked with the driver Rose went in to have the room prepared and tea with sandwiches brought up. She was starving! The inn was quaint with yellow papering on the walls, blue glass lamps in the corners along with a huge bookshelf on one end filled with an assortment of books and writings. There were round tables spre
