unfit For The Duke

strange Raymond

The silent ride to the social ball was suffocating you utter not a word and refused to look at him. at arrival he got out figuring how to make you speak to him again when she arrived dressed in scarlet red dress, Mirabel an enticing woman of class indeed he helped her out of her carriage and you watched while finding it difficult to get out of your carriage again, you always get a bruise on your legs while getting out, your short legs were not up to par with the built of the carriage this days always high as a castle wall and again you jumped down and sustain another bruise on same spot you wiped it with your huge skirt you hated only to found him watching silently trying to understand you.

At the ball he let you not out of his sight hand in hand he escorted you and you could hear the whispers of the town folks surprised at the duke’s sudden show of affection for his difficult uneducated wife. You couldn’t escape after all the escape plan you had made up In your head.

You both arrived home and all of a sudden he decides to help you out of the carriage you stared at him in disbelief yet your stubborn heart refused to take his hand and you jumped down as usual, he followed you as you head to your room with a box of ointment for the bruise on your legs only then the he realizes that it happens often. He took the box from you after minutes of struggle for you were stubborn and you finally gave up. He started slowly his hands were warm and somehow you went hot underneath his long fingers caressed your legs and made way to your thighs you saw his eyes darken as he stared at your soft white skin and of all of a sudden he averted his gaze and sat on the bed

“ I am sorry” he said you were shocked he had never said sorry to you not even when he spanked you in front every one like a child when you did something uncommon or shouted at you in the crowd, you knew not how to respond to his apology you remained silent he laid his head on your thighs something he never do

“Are you still angry?” he asked. you remained silent trying to grasp it all

“If I grant you your request to see Mr Marcus would you talk to me?”

Your silence was unbearable he had tried to strike up a conversation earlier all He got was your silence His behavior was all too strange

“Tomorrow we shall see Marcus then I promise I apologize then” he quietly walked out leaving you puzzled.
