A SINFUL EDUCATION
by Layna Pimentel
Who knew an
unconventional education could be so sinfully exquisite?
Lord Charles Avonlea has evaded marriage over
the last year, but his mother is determined to find him a wife. Far
from consenting to any of her choices, he sets his sights on the one
woman unavailable to him, his best friend's younger sister. With no regard for
the law or her impending nuptials, he is determined to make Lady Emily
Thompson his bride. The only trouble is, he’s stumbled upon dangerous
information and hopes he can get to her before it’s too late.
Stunned and dismayed at discovering the
arrangement between her mother and the Duke of Downsbury, Lady Emily Thompson
searches for a way to break the marriage pact with the duke. She longs to be
with the only man who indulges her curiosity, yet finds herself in the middle
of a scandal that will crush her dreams forever.
Will she find a way out of marrying the duke, or
will she find herself in the same predicament at the previous duchess? Which was dead.
How would he perceive her after tonight? Would he deem her the most
incorrigible female ever bestowed upon London? Or, would he call her a minx and
throw her out of his room? Her only desire was to learn, to educate herself in
the ways of pleasure for when her time came to be a wife. To become a wife in
name was not an option, nor did she want to play second fiddle to another
woman. Yet, the truth be told, Emily desired to get closer with the earl.
Suddenly, the image forever engrained upon her mind of a woman’s mouth wrapped around a manhood seemed more of a challenge. The kind of challenge that would certainly scandalize any respectable female. But she desired to know the intricacies of said intimate moments. Perhaps Charles would find it as pleasurable. Emily shook her head and pulled off her covers.
She rose from the bed and put on her slippers and robe. Using the utmost discretion, she opted to leave behind the candlestick and left her room in the dark, knowing all too well it was only the two of them in this side of the house.
Emily gently closed her chamber door and swept down the hall, pausing outside of his room. The glow of the fireplace danced across the floor under the door, but all was silent. Perhaps he was reading from the privacy of the curtained platform bed or standing in the window, basking in the view the west side of the manor offered.
She quietly opened his door and closed it behind her.
No one stirred, nor made a sound.
She took a step forward, parting her lips to call for him.
A soft moan caught her attention and uncertainty crept up her spine. She should not have proceeded, but went on to appease her curiosity. Stealing further into the room, she paused in the corner.
She caught sight of his lordship through the break of the curtains. Charles’ eyes were closed, chest exposed as his hand moved beneath the sheet barely covering his waist. Lord, he’s a sight to watch, but what exactly is he doing?
Emily moved closer, but could not make head or tails of his motions. That is, until he called out, “Emily.”
He moaned then kicked off his sheets.
Good heavens, the sight of him was impressive. Dark, curly hair dusted his chest. His muscles so refined that the creases begged her to touch them. Dampness settled between her thighs again. What the hell is wrong with me? Did he just moan out my name?
She could see clearly now as he stroked his manhood.
Emily gasped and stepped back, bumping into a chair. Drats!
Avonlea opened his eyes.
She lost all sense of what she had stumbled upon. She should not have been there, no matter how glorious or how beautiful he looked with his eyes closed, or how impressive his body appeared. She would land straight in purgatory for this sin and many others, but she stood at the edge of the platform still.
