Chapter 5

Suzanne sneaked into her room as most of the family members had already gone off to sleep. She changed into her night dress as she awaited the knock on her window.

Alan was really perplexed how to deal with this situation. This was his last resort at holding a job. He did not want to lead the life of a criminal anymore. It was just too much blood and gore and he had promised his father that he would keep away from trouble. Alan had his fair share of women in the past and there was no reason for him to be excited at the prospect of sleeping with another. He knew that sleeping with the Master’s daughter would be an ill-fated move. But he still yearned for that kiss. He had never felt that way about any other women like he felt when Suzanne kissed him. She could feel himself just at the mere thought of that kiss. But there was no way that he was going to sneak up to her room in the middle of night. So he decided to just not do anything tonight and see how the situation unfolds in the morning.

Suzanne was woken up by the sound of the knocking on her door and she started gaining her senses that she had gone off to sleep right beside the window. Alan had never come. She kept waiting for him for over two hours but the knock on her window never came. She was really annoyed that Alan did not follow what she had asked him to. She opened the door to her room to let the maid in and asked her to prepare hot water for her. She was looking out of her window and as the maid approached her, she casually asked which among the small barracks below belongs to Alan’s.

Over the course of the next few weeks, Suzanne would wake up early in the morning and spend hours just watching Alan go about his work. Alan knew that Suzanne must be upset that he left her hanging that other night and when he noticed that she was looking at him, made a small note on a small piece of paper and hid it under a pot of plant outside the Kitchen. Suzanne saw it and after a few minutes went over and picked up the piece of paper quietly without letting anyone notice. Alan had written to her about how they should not be doing this and how this could possibly damage his whole life. Suzanne wrote back saying that she had fallen madly in love with him and there was no one in the world that she would rather be with than him. She also told him that she had received a letter of apology from Daniel, which she had not shown to her father yet. Alan advised her to speak to her father and get the issue with Daniel resolved instead of pursuing her love interests with him.

One early morning, she crept out of her room wearing an overcoat over her night gown and took the stairs at the back to the garden and sneaked into Alan’s room. Alan was not in his bed and it was too early for him to be out doing work, so she decided to wait for him. That is when the door to Alan’s room swung open and Alan entered his room wearing nothing but a towel to hide his manhood. Suzanne had never seen a human body sculpted like the way Alan’s was. She was quite certain there wasn’t another human being on the planet with a body like that.

“I had asked you to knock on my window with a stone pelt did I not?” asked Suzanne.

“Are you trying to force me to sleep with you?” asked a frustrated Alan.

“What? I am doing no such thing. But what are you so afraid of? You were a bandit for god’s sake! You are exactly the kind of people who take risks and get away with it don’t you?” asked Suzanne trying really hard to keep her voice down.

“This is neither a situation where a bandit finds himself in usually and that life is in my past now.” said Alan.

“Am I not pretty enough for you? I feel like a prostitute coming over to your room like this. I should just leave!” said Suzanne as tears started welling up from her eyes.

Alan was gutted to see her cry. He could not bear to see tears on such a beautiful face and said “No! Stay. Please!”

“Why should I? You don’t want to have anything to do with me. Daniel is probably on his way to the house again. He will probably manage to get his hands on me tonight and this time there won’t be an Alan to save me!” said Suzanne crying.

Alan walked up to her and swiped her tears away. He pulled her close and hugged her tight against his bare body. Suzanne tried to pull away first but Alan was too strong for her so she let herself go and cried over his chest. Alan pulled up her chin and looked her straight in her eyes. He moved his lips closer to her and they kissed passionately. He removed the coat that she was wearing and saw that she was skimpily dressed underneath in her almost see through night gown. Passion got the better of him as he pushed her into his bed and took the towel off his waist to reveal his bulging manhood. Suzanne let out a squeal of delight as let herself be taken by Alan. Alan moved on top of Suzanne as she lay down on his bed and pushed his manhood deep inside her. Suzanne had never felt emotions like this before as Alan kept doing her on the bed. Suzanne went through waves of orgasms as Alan pushed himself deep inside her stroke after stroke. They both climaxed after almost half an hour of intense love making. Alan then, pulled out from inside her and crashed beside her.

“Why don’t we just run away Alan!?” asked Suzanne exhausted from the passionate love making.

“What happens to my father when your father, my master, finds out that I have eloped with his beloved daughter?” asked Alan. “Let’s just get through each day right now. I have been on the run from the Police all my life, Suzanne. And I am tired of it all. I have seen things that no boy growing up should see. I have seen people killed in ways that I never thought were possible. By the time I was 15 I was able to take on men twice my size. I was used by my uncle to fight in pits where he bet money on me.” he added.

“Oh Alan! How did you survive such atrocities?” asked Suzan stroking the hair on his chest.

“I really don’t know. I have worked on board a ship, under a pirate and in a brothel. It took me nearly two decades to rid myself of the chains that my uncle had weaved around me since childhood.” Alan said as a tear rolled down his eyes.

Suzanne got into a routine of coming over to Alan’s room every early morning when it was still dark and then pretend as if she had gone out for a walk. Sometimes they would keep talking for hours never realizing that everyone inside the house was looking for her. And they started finding new and innovative excuses to meet up outside the house. There was barely a place left outside the house where they had not had sex. Once afternoon, when all the servants had gone out for a ride to the market nearby, they even had sex in the Kitchen. They both found out very intimate details about themselves that day. They were not sure how long this sneaking around was going to last but they had made it a point that they are going to enjoy this as long it does. Suzanne had struggled with the idea of telling her father about Alan, but she was sure that the pride that he felt for his family would cloud his judgement and he would not be able to see the situation objectively. Suzanne and Alan had also worked out a plan to elope to America with Alan’s dad. Alan knew some people who had moved there and he was certain that he could find a job decent enough to make a living. But Alan could not figure out a way to tell his father about it. Soon they realized that they had been keeping this up for over two months now and the more they kept at it, the more would be chances of them getting caught.

Chapter 6

One morning, after having a session of intense love making, Suzanne lay on Alan’s shoulders for a few minutes when she heard voices calling her name from inside the house. She put on her coat hurriedly and leapt off the bed to tidy herself before she went out. Suzanne sneaked out of Alan’s room stealthily and made her way to the house oblivious to the fact that Edward Jr. had just seen her walking out of the servant quarters. Edward then made a dash for the room that Suzanne had just exited and found that it was Alan’s room where he was getting dressed. Suspicious of the whole thing, he asked Alan what was going on.

“It is not how it looks, sir!” said Alan fearful that he had managed to get himself into trouble again.

Edward Jr. did not need to listen to another word before understanding just exactly happened in this room a few minutes ago. He asked Alan to stay where he was as he rushed to the house to speak to Suzanne first and then get his rifle.

Edward Jr. along with Stephen who by now had heard from his brother an account of the situation that went down in the servant quarters, made their way to Suzanne’s room.

“What were you doing in the servant’s quarters Suzanne?” asked Edward Jr. as soon as he reached her room.

Suzanne was shocked to hear the question coming from Edward Jr. and that is when she figured out that he must have seen her exit Alan’s room.

“It is not what it looks like, brother!” she exclaimed.

“That is exactly what Alan told me. I am not really sure how you think this looks but as a custodian of my family, I have to say that this is really not something that we expected from you, sister!” declared Edward Jr. as he started to leave her room.

“What are you going to do Edward?” asked Suzanne frightened to see the rifle in his hands.

“I am going to kill that bastard Alan” said Edward.

“Stop him Stephen. Do not let this happen.” she screamed in vain as both her brothers stormed out of the room and locked the room behind them.

Suzanne darted towards the window to see what was happening. Edward and Stephen went to Alan’s room and dragged him out of his quarters and waved the rifle at him. By now, the whole staffs of servants were out on the garden. Nurse Abby had also made her way to the garden and she kept asking Edward and Stephen what had happened so drastic that they had pulled a gun on Alan.

“That guy defiled by sister! I cannot let him live!” screamed Edward.

Stephen by now was pretty shaken up and Suzanne was screaming at the top of her lungs pleading Edward to stop and just speak to her. By then the whole house was wide awake and both her sisters and father came down the stairs and made their way to the garden hoping to stop this madness.

“What in god’s name are you trying to do Edward?” asked the father.

“Why don’t you ask your manservant here that question father?” said Edward with a plain face still aiming the barrel at Alan.

“Go on, son. What did you do? Don’t be afraid now.” said Edward Sr. calmly.

“I am in love with your daughter sir!” Alan declared.

Violet and Elise were thoroughly shaking at the prospect of their dear brother shooting another person right in front of them and they started crying.

“You insolent bastard! You think you love my sister? You are a worm! You hear that? You are a worm! And today is the day you die!” shouted Edward Jr.

Edward Sr. was shaking his head and laughing hysterically by now. Edward Jr. and Stephen as well as the sisters were really confused to see this. Edward Sr. looked towards Suzanne’s window and shook his head.

“Suzanne! Do you have anything to say about this?” Edward Sr. asked his daughter.

“Yes! I do father!” shouted Suzanne.

“Alright then, come on down and talk to me! Someone go and open the door to her room!” said Edward Sr. as Tom brought a chair for him to sit down on.

Suzanne came down from her room and went straight to her father. She kneeled in front of him and told him that she was very sorry for her actions. She said that there was no fault of Alan in the whole thing and that it was she who forced herself on him. All the while that Suzanne was talking Edward Sr. was shaking his head seemingly amused by the whole situation.

“Child, you do know that I have already spoken to the Brooke’s about you hand in marriage with Daniel?” asked Edward Sr.

“Yes I do, father! But I do not like Daniel father! How can I marry some stranger that I despise and hate?” asked Suzanne.

“Those are some strong words that you have used for the young man! Why do you despise him so?” asked Edward Sr.

“He is one of the nicest guys in the world Suzanne. He is the living embodiment of a gentleman. Do you know how women are dying to spend just one night with him?” asked Edward Jr. to Suzanne.

“Oh believe me brother, I know! I have seen it with my own two eyes!” exclaimed Suzanne.

“You remember that I went out with him almost a month ago? He took me to a grand ball where I saw the number of women that flung themselves on him. And I have seen how he responds to those women too. I have seen how much of a gentleman he is and how well he can hold his drink!” Suzanne added.

“I am assuming you are going to explain that Suzanne. And I implore you to not leave out any details” said Edward Sr.

“Father, Daniel tried to rape me. He got really drunk that night and he tried to force himself upon me. Had it not been for Alan here, I would have been lying in a pool of shame somewhere on the road and probably would have killed myself by now. Take a look at this apology letter that he sent me a couple of days later. This will suffice as proof for whatever I am saying.” explained Suzanne.

“I do not need proof to believe what my own daughter is saying. Stephen!” Edward Sr. shouted as he took the letter from Suzanne’s hands.
