Hello and welcome to another Hump Day Hook. We continue with
one more snippet from The Darkness of Love, and here is a little insight
into the adventure that awaits our hapless stable boy Marcus Scott, and the
young Lady of the Manor, Sarah Stockton…
Gregory watched Sarah and
Penelope trot towards the lake, the sunlight helping Sarah’s lustrous hair glow
golden, and Penelope’s flanks were silvered, making a nice contrast to her
mistress sat resplendent and proud in her pretty blue dress. Gregory felt his body tighten with
anticipation. It had been a week since
he had shared a bed with his wife, and now he needed her desperately. He had been extremely busy with work, and
now was concerned that he may need to spend some time at his offices in London,
to put his affairs in order. What might
happen at Stockton Manor in his absence?
Would young Marcus take his chances with the Lady Sarah, or would he
continue to resist, even though it was clearly becoming increasingly difficult
for him?

DeleteHaha, sorry. This made me laugh because he said it had been one week since he'd shared his bed with his wife. For a guy, that's like the end of the world! Seems he better rearrange his schedule to fit some time in for her ;)
