Consequences

A/N: Hello everyone…sorry it has been so long in between chapter updates but I have been working a lot of hours so I haven’t had much time to write. Here is the latest and I really hope that you enjoy it! Please don’t hesitate to review because good feedback encourages me to update faster!

Mena stood staring at herself in the floor length mirror in her bedroom at the mansion. Her bright blue eyes widened even more when Elizabeth finished loosening the last of the laces on her corset sending the thick and heavy garment sliding off her waist to puddle around her ankles on the floor. Now in nothing but her paper thin soft white lace chemise she stood there trembling in front of the mirror. The chemise was so thin that Mena could easily see her pink nipples as they hardened and began straining against the thin lace. She was beginning to reconsider her cousin’s insane idea that she should try and lure Wesley into bed just incase of the possibility that she could indeed be pregnant. Elizabeth reached up and began pulling the hairpins out of Mena’s long thick coffee colored hair letting it cascade down her back. Stepping back to admire her work Elizabeth shot her a crooked grin.

“Well now…don’t you look positively…what’s the word I’m looking for?”

Mena raised her arms quickly to fold them across her breasts as she felt her cheeks redden at being so exposed.

“Adulterous? Like a harlot? Take your pick!”

“Oh relax Mena…you don’t look like a harlot…you look beautiful.”

“And practically naked! Elizabeth…I can’t do this!”

“Yes you can…you can and you will!”

“What if Wesley won’t have me? What am I to do then?”

“Well…I suppose if he won’t take you to bed then you’ll be in real trouble.”

“You’re no help at all!”

“Oh Mena…slow down and just breathe! Wesley is insanely in love with you! And when he sees you waiting for him in his bedroom like this…he won’t be able to keep his trousers up.”

“You seem awfully certain about this…considering you’re still a virgin Elizabeth.”

“My virginity…dear cousin…has nothing to do with my knowledge of the male libido. Trust me when I say…Wesley won’t be able to help himself.”

“You had better be right about this!”

“Or else what…you need me don’t forget that Mena. Now put on your robe and let’s get you to Wesley’s room before he arrives.”

Mena allowed Elizabeth to help her into her pale pink cotton robe and then the two of them ran quickly down the long hallway towards Wesley’s quarters. Looking over her shoulder Elizabeth made sure that no one was around to see them enter Wesley’s room. Once inside the room Mena had to cover her mouth with her hand to keep from screaming when Elizabeth began yanking her robe off her shoulders roughly. Her fingers worked quickly to untie the belt of her robe so that Elizabeth could slip it the rest of the way off of her. Elizabeth began pushing Mena towards the large wooden four poster bed making Mena suddenly start dragging her feet.

“Elizabeth wait!”

“Quiet…or someone will hear us Mena!”

“Just wait…please?”

“For what?”

“Let me have a moment to think!”

“You haven’t got time to think! And besides you obviously weren’t thinking when you went to bed with a pirate!”

“Alright…fine…I’ll do it!”

“From where I’m standing this is your only option.”

Mena allowed Elizabeth to usher her over to Wesley’s bed. She gave a small whimper when her cousin shoved her down so that she was sprawled across the mattress. Reaching down Elizabeth grasped the left strap of Mena’s lace chemise and yanked it off her shoulder suggestively.

“What are you doing?”

“There…perfect…Wesley won’t be able to resist you for certain now.”

Mena felt her heart start slamming against her ribcage as Elizabeth headed for the door to leave her alone in the room.

“Where are you going?”

“Downstairs to meet Wesley…I can’t let him go anywhere else but up here once he gets here.”

Before Mena could say anything Elizabeth rushed out the door leaving her alone and nearly naked on Wesley’s bed. Leaning back on the mattress Mena sighed heavily. Oh what a mess her life had become…and to think it was all that scallywag pirate’s fault! Whoever and wherever he was…it was all his fault that she was even considering just offering herself up on a silver platter to Wesley! There was the matter that she and Wesley were engaged and had been for some time now…but even still…ladies of her station just didn’t do this sort of thing.

Downstairs Elizabeth raced to the door when she saw the butler opening it. He barely had time to step aside as she barreled out the door and into the courtyard. Wesley was just stepping down out of the carriage that had brought him to the mansion from the pier. He looked over at her as she ran to greet him and a smile stretched across his face immediately. Wesley really was a handsome man…he was tall with sandy blonde hair and dark green eyes and muscularly built. He was dressed elegantly in black trousers and a matching overcoat with a dark green vest underneath and a crisp white cotton shirt. His black leather boots came to rest at his knees and were perfectly shined. As his smile widened his dimples deepened. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around his neck and stood up on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear.

“Mena has a special surprise planned for the two of you upstairs in your room…she’s waiting for you there right now. It would be very rude to keep her waiting much longer.”

As she pulled back from their hug she smiled up at him. Wesley looked up towards his bedroom at the mansion before glancing back down at her.

“What aren’t you telling me Elizabeth?”

“Never mind that…hurry upstairs and see for yourself.”

Feeling a bit intrigued at the idea of a special surprise from his beloved Mena Wesley began walking quickly towards the mansion. Elizabeth grinned as she watched him break into a jog as he neared the front door. She turned and addressed the servants to bring in Wesley’s things.

“Hurry and bring in Master Chase’s things…but leave them in the parlor until you are told otherwise. Master Chase and Lady Westover are not to be disturbed at this time.”

Wesley hurried through the front foyer of the mansion only to be greeted by Governor Weatherby Swann.

“Ah Wesley my boy…I see you have made it back from London?”

“Yes sir….forgive my curtness but it seems that Mena has a special gift for me and is waiting upstairs for me.”

“Oh yes of course my boy…go on…it’s quite impolite to keep a young lady waiting.”

Wesley nodded as he began quickly climbing the long spiraling staircase. Once at the top he started walking quickly down the hallway to his room. He found that the closer he got to his room the faster his heart started to beat in his chest. Grabbing the knob on his chamber door he turned it hastily pushing open the heavy door. He stepped into the dimly lit room that was bathed in soft flickering candlelight and stopped short. His dark green eyes widened at the sight of Mena stretched out across his bed. She looked like a goddess laying there clad in nothing but her thin lace chemise. Her nipples were straining against the thin fabric like two little pebbles they were so hard. It made his trousers tighten as he felt his cock start to harden.

“Hello Wesley…I’ve been waiting for you.”

His mouth fell open in a silent gasp as he shut the door to his chambers locking it without even thinking. The silence in the room was almost deafening as he stood there staring at her not knowing if he was dreaming or if she was really laying there on his bed. Finally snapping out of his stupor he walked slowly over to his bed and stood over her staring down at her. Mena slid onto her knees and leaned in closer to him titling her head up silently begging him to kiss her. That was all the invitation Wesley needed as he leaned down and crushed his lips to hers in a passionate kiss.
