  “Edgar. You’re so big.” She reached out to touch it, sliding her hand back and forth on his shaft, while he gazed at her in amazed disbelief. Overcome with lust, he reached out and lifted her nightgown over her head, tossing it to the floor. Feasting his eyes on her supple chest and subtle curves for the first time drove him mad with desire. He lifted her off the floor, and carried over to their bed, kissing her the entire way.

  Scared but aroused, Lynette, followed his lead. He was her husband and as much as she still loved Robert, she needed to find a way to love Edgar now. If the only to love him was through her body, then that would have to do. Lying down next to her, he reached up to massage her breasts before lowering his head and sucking on her hardening bud. He had only begun to suckle, when he was unexpectedly treated to a warm mouthful of milk.

  “Stunned but aroused, he looked up at his wife. “Lynette, are you still nursing?”

  She nodded, then arched her back as he returned to her nipple, latching on until he’d almost drained one breast and switched to the other. He had never imagined experiencing anything so erotic as breastfeeding from his wife. Hearing her moan and feeling her writhe underneath him while he fed from her, made him harder than he’d ever been. When he reached down to feel her drenched cunt, he heard her whimper lustfully just before she rocked her hips into his hand.

  “I need to taste you Lynette.” Edgar slid down, diving face first between her thighs and proceeded to dip his tongue into her pussy, scooping out all the moisture that had gathered before seeking out her clit. When he began feathering her swollen nub with his tongue, she keenly showed her appreciation.

  “Oh Edgar, yes, right there, you’re going to make me cum. Please don’t stop.” She ran her fingers through his wavy hair, tugging it when she came close to climaxing, until she finally lost control and jerked her hips frantically into his mouth, crying out unintelligible sounds until he finally stopped and positioned his cock at her quivering entrance.

  Edgar knew he wouldn’t be deflowering his wife. She had been married for two years and had a child. But he was pleasantly shocked by how much she seemed to love sex. When he covered her body with his and plunged his length into her, they were both overwhelmed by the sensation and groaned loudly in unison.

  “Lynette, it’s so good, nothing has ever felt this good.” He was thrusting into her tight passage, trying to open her legs wider to shove his long dick even deeper.

  “Edgar, you’re so big, you’re going to make me cum all over you.” She lifted her knees higher to give her better access while she raked his back with her nails, urging him to pound her harder.

  Taking her cue, he lifted one leg and pummeled her saturated walls, making her muscles spasm against his shaft until he could feel his orgasm building and surfacing, spiraling out of control. When he felt Lynette start to shake uncontrollably, rocking her hips and finally cry out in gratitude for his gigantic cock, he lost his restrain and let go, filling her with his hot potent seed.

  The first few days of their marriage were a blur of sex. Just as Robert once had, Edgar took her as much as he could, wherever the mood struck him. They made love in the stables, in the barn, in his study, a few times in the out of doors, but most of the time in their bedroom. He was drinking her milk so often, she was able to wean Henri, but held little hope of drying up her breasts before her next pregnancy.

  They were married only a few weeks when he introduced her to something new that he had been trying to work in since their first night together. Late one night after they had already made love, he continued to finger her cum filled pussy while she was resting on her stomach. Using the some of his cum, he slowly inserted his finger into her puckered hole, gliding it in and out while he waited for her reaction. The sensation was not foreign, Robert had fingered her there as well, so she moaned and let herself enjoy it. Motivated by her excitement, he inserted another finger and pushed in deeper, bringing his violation to Lynette’s attention.

  “Edgar, what are you doing?” She groaned but clenched against his finger.

  “Don’t tense up Lynette, let me do this.” He worked in another finger saturated with spittle and slid it in and out of her.

  She struggled for a few seconds, but when she let herself relax she pushed into his fingers and began rocking her hips slowly against the mattress. As he worked in four fingers, he lathered his erection with spit, then positioned himself at her back opening. Suddenly aware of what he was doing, Lynette panicked.

  “What are you doing? You’re going to hurt me.” She thrashed underneath him, but he held her steady.

  “Please let me try this, if its too painful we an stop, but let me give it a full try. Give me this, you gave Robert everything else.” He hated invoking her late husband’s name but he wanted something that bastard hadn’t already plundered.

  Seething that he would use that against her when she never asked to marry him, she tried to relax, while he inserted his thick cock into her virgin ass. She whimpered and whined as he moved passed her sphincter, then he made slow thrusts into her channel until he was halfway there. He reached underneath her to finger her pussy and strum her clit, until her rectal muscles loosened up long enough to allow him entrance all the way in.

  Edgar shuddered intensely from the incredible feeling of filling her tight ass and Lynette fought back tears as her stretched hole tried to accommodate his width. When he started slowly thrusting in and out, she began to feel the pain mix with an undeniable pleasure. She hadn’t expected it to feel good, but the pain was sending shockwaves into her pussy, forcing it to clench and convulse wildly as his cock took her ass over and over again. Swept away with unrestrained lust, Lynette cried out in disbelief of her enjoyment.

  “Edgar, you’re fucking my ass. I can’t believe you’re fucking me like this.” She felt so wanton, how could she love something like this.

  “I am, my love. And it’s taking my whole cock. This ass is all mine now. It’s mine, Lynette.” He felt her body slamming back into his as she begged him to cum inside her. Unable to hold out any longer, he rammed into her one more time and emptied himself into her bowels. Lynette fell into her husband’s arms and while he held her tightly, for the first time since their wedding, she told him she loved him.

  Chapter 4

  The family who discovered the half dead soldier floating in the Trent didn’t initially believe he could be saved. He couldn’t remember who he was but he had the armor of a Norman officer and was fortunate enough to be found by the vassals of a Norman baron. Faith healers and an apothecary were summoned but the soldier slept for weeks and was incoherent for months. His wounds finally began to heal and his memory began to return. His name was Robert Malet, Lord Robert Malet and he owned an estate just south of Gloucester. His wife and son were there and they needed to know he was alive. With the help of some of the baron’s vassals, he was escorted back to his castle, unaware that more than 6 months had passed since he had been declared dead.

  “My lord, your wife was forced to remarry almost immediately after your death. I mean, after they believed you died. She didn’t want to, but she was not allowed to refuse.” The Knight appointed by the crown to guard his property was one of his former men, Eustace.

  “How long have I been missing? No one has told me.” He sat down, bereft and confused.

  “At least 6 months. I heard they made her marry Lord Grimm two weeks later. However, if you are alive, then that marriage is not legitimate, no?” Eustace tried to provide his old captain with some comfort.

  “No, it’s not. I am still her husband. Eustace, will you ride with me to London? I need to see William and the Archbishop so I can have my wife and my son returned to me. We can leave in the morning.”

  King William was overjoyed to see his old friend was still alive but the Archbishop and the King’s councilors were concerned about the long-term implications it would have on the peace in the North. Grimm would be furious if his wife was stolen again and since he was instrumental i
n bringing about peace, they feared he would threaten to instigate the rebelling forces that were still angry over their defeat. Some wanted to kill Robert and be done with it, but William would not hear of it. He had been loyal to a fault and had come back from the grave to be reunited with his family. Robert was granted the necessary decrees demonstrating his marriage superseded Edgar’s and was given the necessary men to carry it out. Accompanied by William’s men and his old men whom he recruited on the way to Warwick, Robert set out to reclaim his wife.

  Edgar smiled as he watched Lynette play with Henri. She was such a doting mother and now that she was more than halfway towards delivering their child, he looked forward to seeing her play with their children. When he caught her about to lift her hefty son, he stopped her.

  “Lynette! You know you can’t carry him anymore.” She looked at him, surprised that he had been watching her and embarrassed because he was right. Patting her swollen belly and smiling, she cleared a path for him to lift Henri off the floor.

  “I’m sorry. But I can’t help myself, in my mind he’ll always be a baby.” She kissed him then kissed Henri before they set off towards the gardens. It was a lovely spring day and she didn’t like keeping her son cooped up indoors so long.

  “Will you come with us?” She smiled sweetly and Edgar melted, happily giving in to anything she asked of him. “We won’t be long and then maybe you can take me upstairs for a nap.” Their eyes met and Edgar smiled devilishly.

  “I can do both those things. I am at your service, always.” They kissed again, before venturing into the garden for a walk.

  The sun was bright and the wind was fresh that afternoon. There was no sign that something ominous was just over the hills threatening to destroy his happiness, but it was coming. The call came out from the watchman that Norman soldiers were coming towards the castle. Lynette held Henri close to her and gazed at the regiment drawing near. She had no fear of Normans unlike some of the others surrounding her, so she remained glued and carefully watched the leaders of the company. Edgar asked her to go inside while he saw to them but she ignored him. There was something about the shape of man in front that made her knees weaken. She knew her husband even dressed in heavy armor, but how could that be him? One of her maids came up from behind to ask about the noise.

  “I’ll find out. Please take Henri inside, would you?” She handed her son to her maid and drew closer to the main gates.

  The men in front dismounted, as did the guards behind them who seemed to walk with their hands on their swords when Edgar and his men approached. Lynette watched from nearby, mesmerized by the officer carrying a piece of parchment. There was an exchange of words between him and her husband that infuriated them both, driving both their men to hold them back. Then the Norman removed his helmet and for a few seconds her heart stopped beating, it was her Robert. He was alive. He had kept his promise and moved heaven and earth to return to her. Lynette pushed her way through Edgar’s men, struggling to get to the front until she finally came close enough to be heard.

  “Robert!!!” Her joyous howl alerted everyone to her presence. Edgar’s men cleared a path, the Norman soldiers examined the crowd from their horses to seek out the source and Robert stopped arguing to look for his wife’s face.

  Lynette clutched her abdomen as she ran, afraid she would fall before she made it to the front. She wasn’t so big yet, but she didn’t want to take any chances. When she finally saw Robert looking back at her, she picked up her hem and ran towards him at full speed.

  “Robert!” Seeing his arms extended to her she ran towards him, ignoring Edgar, who demanded she stop. Flying into his arms, she embraced him so tightly they both fell on to the ground. “You’re alive! I can’t believe you’re alive! Oh Robert, I love you so much!” Lynette wept as she kissed his lips gently, but held back giving him too much affection knowing Edgar was right behind her. Her heart felt as if it would burst, Robert was her true love but there would be no easy way to leave Edgar. Sensing her discomfort, Robert helped her up. He was grateful she still loved him, but devastated to see that she was carrying another man’s child. This would complicate everything.

  Chapter 5

  Lynette sat in a room with Edgar and Robert and listened to them go over their dispute one more time. It was not difficult to understand, but Edgar was not going to bow out gracefully, especially when she was carrying their child. The decree was signed from King William and the Archbishop, since her husband had been found alive, she was still officially married him. Her marriage to Edgar was null and void.

  “I am not going to argue with you any longer. I have soldiers outside to enforce William’s orders. Lynette is my wife. I am taking my wife and my son with me today. I don’t care if you believe she is your wife too. What you believe is incorrect.” Robert moved to take Lynette’s hand, kissing it before trying to leave the room.

  “She is carrying my child.” Edgar yelled. “You cannot take her to Gloucester.”

  “She’s carrying your bastard. Which will legally be my child since I am her legal husband. Do not concern yourself, your child will be cared for along with all of our other children.” Robert was furious as he gathered up Henri and tried to prevent Lynette from saying goodbye to Edgar.

  “Robert! He was my husband for 6 months, allow me say goodbye to him or this evening will not go well for you.” She stared soberly at her husband who nodded and stepped just outside the door.

  “Lynette, you find it so easy to leave me? We made love all morning and now I mean nothing to you. Were you lying to me and just telling me what I wanted to hear?” His eyes filled with tears waiting for her to reply.

  “I never lied to you. I’m so sorry, Edgar. I do love you, but I never stopped loving Robert. I don’t know when I’ll see you again.” She kissed him and turned to leave, but he took her into his arms to stop her.

  “I won’t just let him take you from me. Not again. He can’t take you and my child away from me. I’ll do whatever I need to do to get you back.”

  His words frightened her but she didn’t have time to ask him what he meant. Robert walked back into the room to tell her they were leaving and she followed him out dutifully. When she reached the end of the hall, she looked back once more and found Edgar standing in the middle of the hall staring at her, his sad eyes pleading with her not to leave. She mouthed the words “I love you” once more before turning away, unsure of when she would see him again. Caressing her abdomen as she walked to the carriages, she knew deep down she would never be able to keep him from his child. Knowing Edgar, they would see each other very soon.
