Enigma (closed)

[heartofcourage]

She knew he was in a playful mood and he was painfully hard as he pushed his pants and underwear down his legs. She laughed softly as he pressed closer to her, her legs hooked around his shoulders. Victoria found herself effectively pinned to the bed beneath her lover, her knees pressed back against her chest as he pressed against her entrance with his swollen head.

"This is new." She whispered breathlessly, looking up into his eyes. "And I love you, Jim."

She always enjoyed when he was inventive and wanted to explore new things with her. This moment was breath taking and it didn't matter if the rest of her family was sleeping just feet away...she was going to make love to the man that she loved above all others.

 

[KiwiD82]

James couldn't hide his smile when she expressed her love for him. He was incredibly horny - there was no other way to be for someone in his enviable position - but he truly adored Victoria and their bond went beyond the physical.

"I love you too, Victoria," he whispered back.

James pushed his hips forward slowly, gently pressing his swollen head between her folds, gasping breathily as he did so. He dropped his head between his lover's knees and kissed her lips gently as he slowly buried his full length inside her tight entrance.

 

[heartofcourage]

A hand instantly went to Victoria's lips as she stifled her own moan by biting on the heel of her palm. She gasped as he pressed insistently into her body, his thick cock never pausing until he was seated fully. Her hand moved to the side as he leaned in to kiss her, their lips locking passionately and intimately.

"You are a wicked man, James." She murmured softly, trying her hardest to be quiet as he took her to heaven.

 

[KiwiD82]

James gritted his teeth as their bodies adjusted, Victoria's familiar but irresistible heat gripping him firmly.

"I swear," he whispered, wearing a hungry smile, "You made me this way."

They kissed again, passionately pressing their lips and tongues against one another. Their moans became muffled by their own mouths.

James lifted his hips slowly, patiently withdrawing much of his thick veiny length from among her soft and soaking blonde hair. Then he pushed back in, still slowly, until his stomach pressed up against her thighs again and his full shaft was buried deep inside her.

He continued, finding a slow, patient rhythm, enjoying the sheer sensation - amidst the darkness and the potential risk of being discovered - as they rocked back and forth.

 

[heartofcourage]

"You were like this the day I met you." Victoria commented before his lips were back on hers, kissing her with a passion that made her toes curl.

She moaned against his lips, gasping as he set up a slow and steady pace. The ebb and flow of his movement was incredible. It was a slow climb to the top of a mountain, but each would enjoy the journey along the way. Her arms settled against his sides, feeling the flexing of muscles beneath her fingers. She was covered in a thin sheen of sweat, her blonde hair sticking damply to her brow as their lips parted and she was left staring up into his handsome gaze.

"Faster, Jim." She whispered for him to hear, cooing softly as she grew wetter at the situation they found themselves in.

They could have been discovered at any moment and there was no way to tell someone that they didn't see her splayed out and draped over her lover. She loved him when he was like this though. It was what had drawn them together and had kept them connected.

 

[KiwiD82]

James had nicknamed Victoria his queen not long after they'd first started sleeping together as a jest at their debauched lifestyle in comparison to the moral strictness of her namesake monarch.

But whether she knew it or not, James really did view his lover as royalty. He yearned to make her happy, knowing full well that she was perfect at returning the favour.

So when she asked him to go faster, he obeyed. His hips increased the pace of their movements, his pushes became stronger, and his thrusts went further. Before long, his heavy sacks were bouncing off her firm backside, her body was becoming pinned harder with every passing moment, and his moans were beginning to engulf him as he kissed her ever harder.

And all the while, his blonde beauty, her hair matted and her luscious limbs draped over her shoulders, welcomed his every return.

 

[heartofcourage]

The soft sound of their flesh striking together and the smell of sex that filled the room were beautiful. James was using all of his control to keep up with the situation and she admired him greatly for it. His body was pressing her down towards the bed, his lips demanding satisfaction and she grinned with delight. She absolutely loved every moment of this experience with him.

When she came, she could hardly move. Except for the soft cry against his lips and the ripple of her wet folds around his cock, he wouldn't have known. Her brown eyes closed tightly as she saw stars, her fingers gripping his sides tightly. This was what she had missed so much when he was gone to Scotland. He knew how to make love to her in the most delicious way and she was addicted to him.

 

[KiwiD82]

James moaned into Victoria's delicious kiss as her orgasm sent him over the edge. He felt as though every muscle in his body was strained as her body squeezed his length as if it were urging every last drop of his love into her.

When he finally broke the kiss, James gasped, grinning at Victoria in full satisfaction. He slowly withdrew his still throbbing length, unpinning the English woman's gorgeous legs and gently laying them flat again.

Then he crawled up her side, laying down next to her, an arm quickly finding itself wrapping around her waist as he kissed his lover's lips again, gently, softly, and gratefully.

 

[heartofcourage]

Victoria smiled happily as he finally let her legs down and crawled beside her. Their lips gently cling to one another as they kissed and relaxed in the bed. These were the moments that she enjoyed, simply lying beside her lover and smiling at his company.

"That...was amazing, Jim." She whispered softly, her hand coming to rest against his cheek gently. "Everything I could have imagined and more."

 

[KiwiD82]

James grinned back at Victoria as they slowly and gently kissed and caressed each other.

"Funny," he replied, feigning confusion. "That's precisely how I describe you."

He ran his fingers through her hair, pulling the matted strands away from her forehead.

"You know," he whispered, "I was going to return to my room to set an alarm clock, but you're an early riser. What would you say to me staying in here and you waking me up instead?"

The cheeky grin had returned.

"I always find more satisfaction on the days when I wake up next to my queen."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I suppose, but if my father catches you in here, I'm going to deny everything." She said softly, laughing as she kissed him gently and reached for her blanket.

"And if you hog the blankets tonight, I'm going to kick you out of this bed." Victoria threatened playfully, pulling the old quilt up over the top of both of them before she curled up against his side.

"I missed how peaceful it is out here in the country. Perhaps I'll always truly be a country girl, no matter how far I try to run away from it" She murmured against his ear as she found her favorite spot against his shoulder and let out a content sigh.

 

[KiwiD82]

James chuckled quietly at Victoria's jestful threats.

"If he comes in, I'll make myself scarce," he responded. "I'll blame you for not waking me early enough!"

He grinned into her kiss, wrapping an arm around her naked waist as they curled up together and she spoke of country life.

"As long as you're always my girl, I'll be a happy man," he quipped.

James shifted onto his back, loving the feel of their bare bodies against one another.

"Seriously, though," he added, "If you'd like to live in the country after we're married, I'd be more than happy to oblige."

 

[heartofcourage]

"You'll never give up the city, Jim." Victoria teased as she yawned and let out a little sigh. "The soot flows through your veins. You would miss the hustle and bustle and noise."

The idea was nice, though. She missed living in the clean, fresh air. She missed certain things about living out where the nearest neighbors were a few fields away. In the city, everything was quick and stressful. She could settle and relax, be herself. That was a lovely thought.

 

[KiwiD82]

James laughed, perhaps slightly louder than he should have.

"I didn't say it would be easy, Miss Stirling," he jokingly admonished her. "But I would miss you far more than any hustle or bustle."

James shifted slightly in the bed, pulling Victoria closer against him in a gentle but firm embrace. For the following few minutes, he stared up at the darkness towards where he presumed the ceiling to be.

It had been a wonderful day. From breakfast, to Berry Head, to the drive with the younger Stirling sisters, to dinner, and finally to the bliss of Victoria in bed.

James yawned and closed his eyes with a grin on his face.

Tomorrow might be a challenge, but that could wait until the day arrived. For now, he was happy, content, and satisfied.

 

[heartofcourage]

The next morning came far too soon. Victoria woke in James's arms, noticing that the sun was just beginning to peak over the horizon as she reached for the wrist watch that was on her side table. It was early and almost time for breakfast to be served.

"You better get up and get dress if you want to eat before my father puts you to work." Victoria whispered against James's ear, kissing his lips gently to wake him up. "And no sense in being grumpy. You're the one who agreed to help him."

 

[KiwiD82]

James groaned at the touch of Victoria's lips, then mumbled something incomprehensible. Bleary eyes opened, then the meaning of her words began to register, and an adrenaline rush sat him up in bed.

He was even aware enough to laugh at his own expense when Victoria spoke of his occasional morning grumpiness.

"How could I be grumpy today?" he grinned, turning and kissing her gently. "I'll be asking your father for his blessing!"

He paused, letting the words soak in for them both, before bundling out of bed, collecting his clothes, and carefully returning to his bedroom. Once there, he changed into clothes much more suitable for hard labour, then made his way towards the dining room.

 

[heartofcourage]

Victoria had never seen James move so quickly to get out of bed when a threat from MI-5 wasn't involved. She couldn't help but laugh as he grinned down at her and kissed her gently, telling her that he was going to ask her father for her hand in marriage today. The very thought was welcome and she couldn't think of anything better for him to do.

"Be gentle to him." Victoria mentioned. "He'll be losing his little girl so he might be grumpy."

She was still smiling as he left the room to change into his clothes and she settled back down into her bed for a few more moments of shuteye. The thought of being the wife of James was certainly something that brought a smile to her lips.

Ruth had a feast on the table for her husband and James by the time they both arrived. The girls would eat later in the morning when they all rose. There was sliced ham, beans, tomatoes, eggs, sausage, and tea. Enough to fill a group of men about to go do some hard work.

 

[KiwiD82]

The walk from James' bedroom to the dining room seemed to take forever. The enormity of the day was just beginning to sink in: hard labour, a request for an engagement, questions of identity...

The early morning just made the whole process more difficult.

James reached the dining room and was relieved to see such a generous array of breakfast foods. How early Ruth must have been up, he couldn't say - but again, he could see where Victoria got her wonderful cooking skills from.

"Mrs Stirling, you've outdone yourself again," he beamed at his girlfriend's mother.

James had spent enough weekends at the farmhouse to know the drill. He sat down, took a plate, and began to serve himself, smiling at both Robert and Ruth as he did so.

"Good morning to you both. I trust you slept well?"

 

[heartofcourage]

"Well, dear, I have to work at getting some meat on your bones." Ruth said in greeting as James took a seat and dished up his food.

Robert laughed softly as James asked if they had slept well. "You don't have to be so formal around us, James. You're practically family at this point."

Robert was a strong and merry Scotsman, his smile very reminiscent of Victoria's. She shared many features with Ruth and very few with Robert. The other Stirling children looked like their father, lending to the idea that perhaps Victoria wasn't who she said she was.

 

[KiwiD82]

Robert's laugh was infectious, and James found himself chuckling lightly in response.

He supposed his formality was borne of nervousness. He respected Robert and he hoped to have impressed the man enough to make an honest woman of his eldest daughter - if that was indeed who she was.

And despite all the friendly banter, with Ruth asking him when he'd pop the question, and Robert calling him effectively a family member, James knew it meant nothing until permission was granted, the question asked, and Victoria's acceptance received.

"So what's the plan for today?" James asked of Robert, showing his acceptance of the Scotsman's friendly admonishment by way of his more informal subject change. "How long are you expecting the fence building to take? I suspect we'll both be unpopular with Victoria if it takes us all day..."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I tell you what...if you help me pin in the sheep in the east pasture, I'll let you free to spend the afternoon with Victoria. We wouldn't want her to be cross with the both of us, would we?" Robert asked, winking in James's direction as he helped himself to another slice of ham and another boiled egg.

"We could go out to dinner tonight at the club. The girls could stay here on their own." Ruth suggested, her eyes practically lighting up at the thought of dinner and dancing.

"I think that would be a fantastic idea." Robert agreed, smiling at his wife with a fond and wistful look.

 

[KiwiD82]

James grinned at Robert's response. Sometimes he felt sure that the Scotsman knew more than he was letting on, and that thought could be intimidating, but the large man was really a gentle giant.

James said nothing to Ruth's suggestion of going to the club. Victoria adored dancing, and although he was no great dancer, James enjoyed sharing the floor with her. But Victoria might want to stay at the house instead, and she was forthright enough to say so. As such, James felt it best not to speak on her behalf.

"Mrs Stirling," he spoke between mouthfuls of his readily diminishing breakfast, "I wonder if you could spare some time with me after we're finished with the fence. I'd like to prepare a picnic for the afternoon and would appreciate you letting me have a look in the kitchen for anything you can bear parting with."

 

[heartofcourage]

"Of course, dear. I'll help you make a meal that will get a smile even out of Victoria." Ruth promised, smiling at the man that had completely captured her daughter's heart. "She is so much happier with you than she was here, James. You have brought out the beautiful spirit of our daughter and we are going to forever be in your debt."

"She's always been a serious little thing." Robert agreed, leaning back in his chair as he finished with his breakfast. "Always wrapped up in her puzzles. You know, her mother taught her here in the house instead of sending her to school. She was smarter than the teachers after her third year."

 

[KiwiD82]

"I don't doubt that for a moment," James replied to Robert's comment with a distinct sense of pride. "Victoria is the most intelligent woman I've ever met."

James found Victoria attractive in a myriad of ways. She was, of course, a gorgeous physical specimen that could get him worked up with little more than a mere glance. And the pair of them shared a sexual compatibility and chemistry that was like nothing else he'd ever known. But her intelligence was what truly captured James. Her ability to think through problems, her wit, and her humour were what he found most appealing. And that was to say nothing of her warm heart or her general verve for life in a time when death seemed to lurk behind every corner.

"Truth be told," he continued with a boyish grin as he finished the last of his breakfast, "Victoria Stirling is quite a puzzle herself. And the longer I sit here talking about her, the longer it'll be before I can speak to her, so if you don't mind, I think we should get started."

 

[heartofcourage]

"Oh, he's eager for work, it seems." Robert laughed as he pushed himself away from the table and stood to gather his work jacket.

"I think he's eager for something else, dear." Ruth said with an excited smile on her face. "And I expect you to tell me everything when you get back. Victoria's grandmother had a beautiful ring that would look perfect on her finger."
