Susanna echoed his shout and one more flew.
Chapter
Eleven
"Give me one good reason why we agreed to
this?" Tony stood at the front of the chapel on his country estate and moved
his cravat an eighth of an inch. "I should have let you entice me to
elope. Withholding your favors would have done it." He muttered the words
out of the side of his mouth as the vicar beamed at him and Susanna.
Susanna made a noise halfway between a giggle and a
cough. "Now you tell me. Mind you, that would be easier said than done."
Her voice was as low as his.
The vicar cleared his throat and looked at them with
disapproval. "May we begin?" he asked, in a frosty tone.
Tony looked at him steadily until the man shifted on
his feet. Then Tony inclined his head.
"Of course, vicar. I was merely telling
my bride how beautiful she looks."
Susanna shot him a mischievous look and shifted one
leg to show him a split in her bridal gown, which, as she moved showed more
than a decorous amount of thigh. He did his best to frown. It wasn't easy, when
all he wanted to do was get the ceremony and wedding breakfast over. He had
great plans for the honeymoon.
"Ah yes. Radiant," the poor vicar agreed. "Now." He raised his voice. "Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today…"
Tony listened with half an ear as the Reverend
Porter intoned the words of the marriage service. He spoke when prompted, and held
his breath when the congregation was asked if they had any just cause or
impediment as to why the marriage shouldn't go ahead. When he slipped the ring
onto Susanna's finger he knew his hand trembled as much as hers. Finally they
were pronounced husband and wife, and Tony was told he could kiss his bride. He
heaved a great sigh of relief, and proceeded to do so with much gusto, all to
the irreverent cheers of his peers.
The waves of disapproval he expected from the elders
in the congregation didn't materialize. As he reluctantly drew back from
Susanna he looked at his mother. The cat in the cream was an understatement for
her expression.
"Our Mamas think their plan worked," he
said once they'd signed the register and were walking down the aisle and out
into the sunshine. "Little do they know... "
Susanna laughed as she waved to friends, cronies and
hangers-on who were clustered in the pews. "My Mama gave me the talk last
night. All I could think was thank goodness I know now what I know. Her
euphemisms, warnings and ramblings would either have me a gibbering idiot, a
runaway or a very reluctant bride who refused to open her legs. I swear I will
not let any child of ours, male or female, go to the altar as ill informed as I
would have been. Of course our sons will look to you for guidance."
"Of course. How many are you
anticipating?" Tony grinned at the way Susana narrowed her eyes and licked
her lips. Such a contradiction of expressions, designed he knew to tease him,
and beg for his own unique form of punishment. His cock stirred at the memories
of Susanna spread over their bench or impaled on one of the protuberances on
their chair. She admitted she loved all they did, and teased him to get the
reaction she preferred. Tony now knew the way to curb those actions—by
withholding what she wanted, be it the flogger or a climax.
"At the moment?" Susanna asked.
"None, and in truth I hope to have you to myself for a while. However it
will be as life, or your cock wills."
It seemed the tricks he'd shown her to stop his seed
sewing, had worked. Really, living in the Far East had so many benefits. Tony
thought of his plans for that evening, and his skin tingled.
"How soon can we get this breakfast over and
retire?" he asked.
Not soon enough. The hours he smiled, chatted, cut
the cake, and shook hands were interminable. Why they called it a breakfast
when they ate at three in the afternoon he had no idea. By the time he was able
to take Susanna by the arm and lead her out of the long dining room, Tony had heard enough innuendos for a lifetime.
