Read The Duke and The Duchess Online
Authors: Lady Aingealicia
Regina allowed Belle to dress her for the evening festivities. She felt the pearl crown placed on her head. She looked in the mirror and saw a vision. Belle was very good at making her look divine. She stood up in the gold ball gown that had been made for her. Everything was in place for her announcement to Marcel. She had fallen hopelessly in love with him over the few days that they had spent together.
It was something she had not expected. His charm and wit won her over in the first few days. He presented a very regal front and always made sure she had her needs or wants taken care of. He seemed to be as excited about the ball as she was. As Belle placed her feet in the golden shoes for the evening, Regina took a deep breath and looked at Belle.
“How do I look?” She asked.
“Beautiful as always miss.” Bell responded. “You will be the center of attention tonight.”
“Well I guess it is time for me to go join our guest.” Regina picked up her white lace fan and put on her long gloves.
As she headed down the stairs, she noticed how decorated the castle was from the top of the stairs to the bottom. Rose had gone all out for this party. There were gold flowers that had white trim to give it an opulent affect. The servants were bustling about taking care of all the guest as she walked down the stairs. There was silence when she came into view.
Her chestnut hair had been placed upon her head in a bun with ringlets hanging down. Her gold gown was sewn on her to become the perfect fit. Her full breast were pushed to show pillows above the fabric. She walked with grace down the stairs to join her mother and father who were standing with the Duke and the guest he had brought with him. She looked around to see where Elzbeth and Martinita were. She was sure they were there somewhere.
Marcel kissed her on the cheek when she joined the party and stood beside her. The orchestra was playing in the ball room and Regina’s heart leapt. She wanted to dance. Almost reading her mind, Marcel took her by the hand and led her to the ball room. He held his hand out and bowed to her and then pulled her into his arms as they moved around the dance floor. She was sure her heart was going to come out of her chest.
Soon the dance was over and everyone stopped to clap for the orchestra that was getting ready for the next dance. Rose and Prince Valsroy moved to where they could speak loudly for all to hear. They were going to announce about the marriage that was to take place in the spring of Regina and Marcel. At that moment, Regina felt the excitement grow as the crowd listened to the announcement and then clapped for the couple. The music began and Marcel and Regina danced alone in a circle of their friends.
As the night moved on quickly, Regina finally did run into her friends and introduced them to Arron, Markus and Buford. Buford removed himself as Martinita was lead to the floor by Arron and Elzbeth with Markus. There was nothing that Regina would have changed about the evening as it came to a close. She noticed that some of the guest had headed out to the gardens that were softly lit by candles along the walk way. She even noticed that some were headed to the labyrinth.
She said goodnight to her guest and kissed Marcel on the cheek excusing herself to go to bed. As she went to her room, she walked out on the balcony that looked over the gardens and saw that Marcel was headed to the labyrinth. She wondered what was going on as Belle came in to undress her. Placing on her nightgown and dismissing Belle, she looked out over the balcony again. There were no more guest headed to the maze. Suddenly she wanted to see what was going on in the garden and went to her room and placed on her golden slippers and slipped out of the house quietly.
Walking down the pathway, she entered the maze with expertise. She could walk the maze blindfolded. As she made her first turn, she came upon Arron and Martinita. They were wrapped in their own passion as Arron had one hand upon her breast and one up her skirt as she moaned from his touch. Moving closer to the trees as not to be seen, Regina watched quietly.
Martinita kissed Arron deeply as her hands traced down the front of his shirt, exposing his arms and chest. Regina placed a hand over her mouth to keep quiet. She wanted to see what would happen next and knew that she could not move until they were done. As she watched she saw Aron grab Martinita and turn her around, lifting the skirts of the ball gown she wore. He spread her legs and undid his pants as he thrust into her.
Martinita threw her head back and whimpered from his activity as she pushed back on his hard member. Arron placed his hands in her long black hair and pulled her back to him. His thrust became faster and faster as she begged him for more. Regina felt moisture form between her thighs as she watched. She saw Martinita claw at the trees to hold on as Arron gave one final thrust into her and released.
Turning around and kissing him deeply, Martinita took Arron by the hand and moved further into the maze. They never realized that Regina was there or if they did, they did not care. Regina waited a moment and moved further into the maze as well as she heard the noises begin to get louder the closer to the center she moved. She moved behind some trees when she got to the center of the maze and was shocked at what she saw.
Her eyes widened when she saw the scene before her. Everyone was engaged in very compromising positions of a sexual nature. Arron and Martinita were in the corner kissing again. Her crown till on top of her head, her skirts lifted over her exposed rear as she bent over. Her mouth was on someone’s hardness as she bobbed her head up and down faster and faster. Regina searched the scene and saw Elzbeth laying on her back with someone between her thighs, she was holding their head in place as her hips bucked up and down.
She continued to look around the activities going on and saw Belle on her knees in front of Marcel and Buford. Her mouth was going between the two members placed in front of her. She opened her mouth and took Marcel in her mouth deeply as Buford moved behind her. Getting on his knees behind her, he lifted her skirt and pulled her legs wider apart as he thrust in her without warning. Marcel placed his hand upon the back of her head and forced her forward further. Thrusting back and forth faster as Belle played with his balls. Buford held her hips tight as he went in her deeply.
Regina found her hand going lower between her thighs as she watched. She had never seen such a party. She turned her attention back to Elzbeth who was now crying out and whimpering at the same time. Her hips thrust all the way in the air, she gave one last cry as her legs closed around the head between her legs. She pulled them up by the shoulders and wrapped her legs around their hips. Regina saw it was Markus that Elzbeth was with.
Markus kissed her neck and pulled on her breast as his hips moved back and forth on top of Elzbeth as the moans became louder in the maze. Regina turned back and watched what Belle was doing as she sucked on Marcel’s hard member faster and faster. She traced her mouth up and down the shaft and back to the mushroom head as Buford slapped her bare ass and made her whimper.
Markus held her head where it was as he groaned loudly. Regina covered her mouth to keep quiet as her hand moved between her thighs and found the moisture. She rubbed her nub back and forth as her body tingled all over. Biting her lip, she turned her attention back to Martinita and Arron. Arron had bent her over and was playing with her clit as his fingers moved in and out of her. Then he would move his fingers out of her wet hole and explore her further by placing his finger inside her tighter hole and made her moan wanting more.
Arron placed the tip of his hardness against her tight hole as she whimpered and threw her head back. She moved her legs wider to take him in as the tip slipped inside her tight hole. He placed his hands on her waist to hold her still as he went in slowly. She began to breathe harder as he pushed in an inch at a time. Soon he was halfway inside her and she gasped and began to cry out.
Regina watched and then turned to watch Elzbeth who was moving her hips in rhythm with Markus as he bit her breast and then teased her nipples with his mouth. Flicking his tongue around the nub and then sucking on her soft pillows. Her arms were around his neck as she pulled his mouth to hers. Kissing deeply, Regina watched as Markus pounded her on the bench. Elzbeth screamed out as her body arched and she fell on the bench breathing hard.
As Regina turned to watch what was going on with Belle, she saw that Marcel had replaced Buford with his hard member while she sucked on Buford getting him hard again. Soon Marcel lifted her up and Buford moved behind her, holding her by her breast. Quickly he thrust inside her from behind as Marcel kept moving inside her from the front.
Wrapping her arms around Marcel’s neck for balance, she whimpered and begged for more as her body was ravaged by the two men. She was fully enjoying what was being done to her as both hard phalluses were inside her. She threw her head back and Marcel kissed her breast as Buford nuzzled her neck. Soon Elzbeth and Markus were watching as Belle was taken hard and fast.
Belle began to claw at Marcel’s back as her body arched between the two men. This only made Martinita and Arron move faster. They were heated by all going on. Finally Arron was all the way inside Martinita as she bucked back, crying out for more. In grand finale, they all seemed to release at the same time. Regina had been playing with herself as she watched the party that was going on before her. She felt the wave come over her as Belle cried out from the men that were taking her without question.
Moving back into the shadows, Regina waited for the party to leave before she headed back to the castle. She knew there was a secret passage to her room so she would not be scene going back into the house. As the party disappeared, she waited for the maze to be empty before heading back to her room. She slipped in the house and into her room, crawling into bed. She was not sure how she felt about the situation or how to handle it.
The next morning Belle was right on time to wake her as she opened the curtains and looked at Regina. She smiled remembering the night before. Regina had had all night to think about what to do about the situation and then figured out a perfect plan.
“Good morning miss.” Belle chirped as she gave Regina her cup of tea. “I hope you slept well last night.”
“Oh I did Belle, thank you.” Regina responded. “How do you like this household?”
“Oh very much miss.” Belle answered, she was not sure where this conversation was going.
“Good, I believe I will leave you as a gift for my mother when Marcel and I are married.” Regina answered, “She needs someone like you to help her and I can always find a new maid.”
“As you wish miss.” Belle answered in shock.
“I want to wear the purple gown today Belle.” Regina stated boldly, she wanted to look beautiful when she told Marcel of her decision.
He really had no need to know she saw the activities of the night before. She would keep that to herself until needed. She enjoyed watching and with any luck, she would be able to watch in silence again very soon. Especially since Martinita and Elzbeth would be staying in the guest rooms until the wedding to help out. She smiled as she got out of bed and sat at her vanity waiting for Belle to tend to her needs and planned how to tell Marcel that Belle would be staying behind.
Faustus had been a Gladiator for as long as he could remember. He had worked his way up through the ranks and was on his fifth and final fight to gain what so many wanted. There was nothing in his mind except the win, at any cost. He never knew that from the stands of the Coliseum a woman watched breathlessly for his freedom as well. For him, his whole life was about the fight and the spoils that came from that. He never expected that after his freedom would be granted he would have to fight to keep his heart in the end.
Faustus looked at his opponent in the ring. He knew that this would be his last battle part of the famila if he won. He rose his sword to the Coliseum where the people roared in approval. He looked at the Emperor’s box and rose his sword to him. The Emperor nodded in approval as Faustus approached the man he did not know. He knew that he came from another town and had upset the Emperor. He also knew that after this he would gain his freedom.
Faustus had been with the famila for so long, he had forgotten what it was to be free. When the opportunity came for him to be able to leave the famila, even though many had become like brothers, he jumped at it. He knew that he had a fair lanista, however there was no price on freedom. Today he knew that he would become a Rudiarii. He had planned on teaching after he gained this title.
He noticed that beside the Emperor sat a Senator and a woman he had never seen before, her beauty struck him. Her red hair was done in many ringlets and hung down the back of her neck. Her porcelain skin was highlighted by with an indigo stola and silver jewelry. He shook his head as he scanned the rest of the Coliseum. The people roared again as he advanced towards his opponent.
Holding his sword and shield, he circled the boy that he faced. The boy did not seem older than 18, 19 at the most. Faustus had no idea what he had done to upset the Emperor, he just knew he had a job to do as he approached the boy from behind. He caught the boy’s side and blood ran down the bare skin. He saw the fire in the boy’s eyes as he swung without thought. Moving to the side, Faustus missed the tip of the blade that was jutted towards him.
Spinning, all Faustus could feel was the rage building with in his body. He moved without thought. He had been trained by some of the best in the Gladiator ring and had excelled at sword fighting. With a few thrust and movements soon the boy was on the ground and Faustus looked at him. Placing his foot on the boy’s chest, he knew that he had the choice of death or life for the boy. As he looked at the boy who pleaded with him, Faustus delivered one final blow through his side and the boy closed his eyes.
Stepping off the boy so that the physicians could carry him away, Faustus knew that if they moved quickly the boy would not die. He would leave it in the hands of the Fate’s. His freedom was worth far more than the boy’s life, however he also knew if the boy wanted to live enough he would. He pulled his sword out of the boy’s side and looked at the crowd. Their thumbs were up to grant his freedom.
Walking to the center where the Emperor sat, he looked up at him with his dark eyes and sweat pouring down his face and well-toned body. He saw the woman sitting there, her hand over her eyes. She was flushed and had a vine of grapes hanging from her hand. The Emperor gave his thumbs up as the crowd roared in approval.
Faustus noticed the Emperor motion for one of the slaves to come forth and took a red tunic from him. He threw it onto the floor of the Coliseum before Faustus. Faustus picked up the tunic and nodded to the Emperor as he left the Coliseum and went through a tunnel. As he ran into his lanista, they clasped hands and hugged, stepping back quickly.
“Then it is done.” Faustus stated clearly. “I will teach as we agreed, however I will be known as Rudiarii from here on.”
The lanista was a man of few words and nodded. He patted Faustus back and walked away. Faustus noticed the slave in the corner and called him forth. Looking the man over, he was shorter in stature and wore the robes of a wealthy Roman’s slave. As Faustus removed his clothing to change into the red tunic for the celebration, he looked at the slave.
“Speak.” He finally ordered.
“My Lord.” He began, “My name is Otho. I have been sent by the Senator Lucius who extends his hospitality to stay at the Villa while you wait to teach.”
Faustus rose and eyebrow. He was not expecting this. Lucius was one of the better known Senators of the area. It was not an invitation he could refuse. He nodded to the slave and changed into a white tunic and sandals and grabbed his cloak to leave the room. He handed Otho his helmet and armor, keeping his sword on his side. He held the red tunic in his arms.
“Tell the Senator, I would be honored.” He nodded to the slave. “I shall join him at the banquet and we will discuss terms. Until then, please take this to the Villa and have it cleaned and placed in my room.”
Otho nodded and took the items given to him. Faustus went to the public baths and removed his clothing in the changing room. Leaving his clothes and sandal’s in charge with a slave who would follow him through the baths. He wanted to prepare for the banquet that was ahead. He noticed there were only a few people there as he washed up. As he went through the baths and was massaged and oiled up, his mind wandered to the woman he saw. He had never seen her in the city before. He wondered who she was.
If it were in the Fate’s plans, he would meet her in due time. He dressed and headed out amongst the people towards the feast that had been prepared during the day. To his surprise, Otho was there waiting on him. He led Faustus to a table where the Emperor and Senator Lucius were sitting. Beside them was the woman that sat to the right of Lucius and there was a woman between the Senator and Emperor. He knew that the Emperor had many women, none of whom he was married to.
“Ah, Faustus please join us.” The Emperor pointed to a seat beside him. “Very well played today. So you know, the boy will live so I am told.”
“That is pleasant to know Emperor.” Faustus responded as he grabbed a goblet of mead.
“This is Senator Lucius.” The Emperor motioned, “And his lovely wife Marcellina and daughter Junia.”
Faustus nodded to both of the women and Lucius. He looked Junia over. She was even more beautiful up close. There was much merriment going on around them as they talked of Faustus and where he would go to teach now that he was a free man. Faustus wanted to rest more than anything and remained polite as the evening wore on. Soon Lucius rose as did the women.
“Faustus,” He began, “It is my understanding you have accepted the offer presented to you by my slave Otho.”
“Yes, I have My Lord.” Faustus was a man of few words, he was more a man of action.
“Well then, unless you wished to stay,” Lucius continued, “please join us on our walk back to the Villa. I will see you at the meeting tomorrow Emperor.” Lucius nodded.
Faustus nodded to the Emperor as well. His red tunic swaying as he walked with Lucius. The women walked behind them, talking amongst themselves in low tones. Faustus knew of Lucius, however he had never met him prior and was not sure why the invitation had been granted to him to stay in the Villa. He was sure he would find out before he had to leave for training at the school.
