Chapter 46 Being Mischievous
“What am I supposed to do?”
Shrugging, Cole said, “How should I know? You said to let you have a go, and that's what I am doing. Just like you said.”
Emily gritted her fine teeth and stared at the silver pistol, not knowing what to do. She had never held one up close.
Lifting it, she tried to figure out how it works. It looked as complicated as ever. Now the prospect of shooting did no longer look as appealing to her. Frustrated. She turned and handed it back to him. Emily would have gone quietly, defeated as she was. Had she not heard that “I thought so, muttered slowly from her husband? She stiffened and turned. He lifted a brow at her as if to say I said that.
Like an affronted mother Emily marched down to the picnic basket cursing angrily and scooped its contents. She couldn't exactly say what it was she picked, but she knew she saw strawberry somewhere. Marching back with the fruits in her hand, Emily pos

Not Your Average Countess Chapter 47 The Tenants
Two hours later they pulled up on a small hill which gave a dramatic view of the village and the cottages below. The cluster of houses with chimneys and gable roofs where were the tenants lived. Surrounded by a wide mass of lands, meadows and fields. A picturesque sight well within the boundaries of the estate.The tenants were surprised to see them and had come out their homes the moment they arrived perched high on their horses. Emily was the most ecstatic and couldn't wait to meet them. She dismounted from her horse before anyone could help her and did the introduction herself. While Cole hung back surprised at the number of tenants, he had there. A few of the children were playing in front of the houses chasing a chicken but had stopped to stare curiously at them at their arrival.One by one the older men came to meet Cole, murmuring their greetings as they approached him. It didn't take time for Cole to find the head tenant and went straight to

THE SKY grumbled, and the wind howled, taking small particles of sand and hurling them up in the air. Up ahead there were activities in the sky that suggested the heaven would be letting down rain soon.Galloping at top speed, they urged their horses faster. The wind became stronger, snatching leaves from trees and causing them to take small flight in the air.They hadn't gone far when suddenly there was a mutter from the blackened sky and rain poured down in a monotonous fashion, wetting their clothes.The last shelter which they had left behind was a mile ago which left them with no choice than to ride the remaining way home as they had nothing but wide plateau separating them from the shelter of the house.Emily was grinning sheepishly, and Cole was irked. Did anything ever faze this woman? She turned to him in the rain. Her clothes soaked to her body and shouted something Cole didn't hear.“What

IT WAS SMOOTH, WET AND SOFT. The friction of the cloth as it wiped round and round her sex. Emily writhed and moaned delicately, but his hand still found ways to move between her legs and trailed down one thigh till he got to her calf and raised it up in the air. Sending splashes of scented rose water to the ground as he did the same with the other leg.Putting one leg on his shoulder, he sat down on the edge of the tub and then with the cloth wiped the other leg slowly till he got to her upper thigh. The inner thigh. It was a sensual move. One that had Emily wondering if he was still trying to bathe her or something else was happening.His face was concentrated. But it was that muscled chest, well toned, so out of reach that sent her in a fit of madness.Without thinking, Emily snatched her legs from his shoulder and rose. Filling the space with her image. Slowly, he glanced up at her, boldly meeting those e
Not Your Average Countess Chapter 50 The Morning After
THE NEXT MORNING when Cole woke up, Emily was still sleeping. Ruffled against the bed, the cream bedsheet covering her arse and her back left open with nary a single thing to cover her. Cole smiled, a look of satisfaction pulling his lips back from his teeth, and folded his arms under his head. He took his time to access his feeling while he watched her sleep. He realized he was enjoying himself more than he ought to. More than he had a right to. He had been lonely almost his whole life. His parents having died when he was so young. Cole didn't know much about companionship and would like to think this was it. He felt happy. A kind of surging feeling he hadn't felt in years.Cole was a loner and had been like that for a long time. After the death of his parents, he had used the first seven years to learn about being an earl. He had no friends except for Sebastian. He only knew his horses, his stable, his land, the silence,

IMMEDIATELY Cole left, Emily shot out of the bed and wore her night rail. She bit her lips and stared at the bed where they had made love last night. Blushed as she remembered how she had writhed under Cole, demanding him in every way possible. She remembered something else too as she moved closer to the bed. What he had said last night and even this morning. “You are mine.” Emily mouthed, savouring the words. Her brows furrowed as she wondered what it meant.Dare she hope?Climbing back to the bed, Emily wondered why she was embarrassed when she was getting everything she ever wanted. She didn't mind seeing Cole naked. No, she didn't think she minded seeing that broad chest, that well-toned stomach which flexed as he took in a deep breath and those powerful muscular thighs. No, she didn't think she minded. Her problem was with herself. How she couldn't keep her eyes away from him. Emily had a mind to tell him to take her again that morning bu

The following weeks that camewerespent beautifully. From riding early in the morning to spending time in the garden and playing billiard of which Emily always won. She suspected Cole had something to do with it. He was awfully losing a lot. Pushing the wrong balls. It had to be that or nothing else.Meanwhile, Coleon the other handwas irrevocably and utterly happy. Never had he felt anything like this before. He was enjoying her company immensely. And at one point had told his workmen to take a day or two off, and that was after he had already asked them not to work in

At once, he wrapped his hand around her, gently lifting her off the ground until her feet were dangling from his body and one arm came crushing her to his hard masculine body as he let her feet touch to the ground againAngling his head for a better kiss he kissed her thoroughly in a way that made Emily's breath catch in her throat, and she forgot everything and everyone except this man and what he was doing to her, the wonderful flutter in her stomach threatening to explode.Their harsh breath was out in the air. His hand moving over her body in a very accustomed way. Moving past the small of her back in a frenzied manner to her buttocks when it reached the back of her thigh, he hoisted her into his arms and dropped a kiss in the corner of her mouth. Moaning.Still not releasing her lips, he blindly fumbled his way around, revelling in the glory of her lips.Walking a little more in that state he lifted his h

It had been there before, this feeling, but she hadn't been able to see it like this. But now that she knew it was, it was as though with every passing moment it came knocking on her door, overpowering her. She felt this ridiculous need to blurt out her love for him. To say she loved him and hear the same from him, even when she knew that was impossible.Her husband might have taken her into his confidence, but there was nothing about the man that screamed his love. Sure, he was gentle and careful with her. He loved her company greatly, but did he love her? Will he ever love her? No, he must! He has to. Emily bit her lips, stopping the trembling in time.“Emily?”She raised her face, almost widening her eyes as she remembered he could still see her face as his eyes were yet to be tied. She lowered her face almost immediately. Her heart beating.“What's wrong?” The words floated in the air between them, concern
