Once again, we agreed that it was expedient to postpone hearing the conclusion of Frances's most interesting account of her amorous adventures until we had rested our organs of delight, and were in a better condition to respond actively to the call to pleasure which her luscious descriptions would be sure to elicit.
So, after a plentiful application of the coldest water we could procure to the realms of love, we sat down to a generous repast of food and mild stimulants.
A little byplay of wanton dalliance and sportive freedoms with naked pricks, cunts and bottoms diversified the scene, and kept the fire bright on the alter of Venus.
Our bodily powers being thus recruited, and our spirits revived, voluptuous desire again resumed its sway; so we placed our naked forms in the most comfortable and convenient attitudes for listening to Frances as she, in highly lubricious language, continued her interesting tale. Playing with loving fingers around my husband's halferected prick, she commenced.
'In taking up the thread of my narrative, I would remind you how, in the still midnight hour, I was enjoying stolen bliss straddled over monsieur's sleeping form.
'The flood of pleasure was now rising to the overflow, and the throbbing of his prick in my heated cunt warmed me that the throes of emission were commencing; suddenly, to my no small alarm, his steady thick breathing ceased and was succeeded by short gasps and soft mutterings as the sleeper gradually recovered consciousness and realised what was taking place.
'"Oh! wife! how good you are tonight! Something like your old self — you bring back the time when you first received me in your fond embrace, and your hungry cunt sucked in my prick with true delight." 'Poor old fellow! I was glad to have been able to afford him a taste of real pleasure once again, for I felt he must have been badly treated; but what was I to do next? I had nothing for it but to throw myself forward on his breast, and stop his mouth with warm kisses as he poured into me the essence of life. The pleasurable sensation passed away and was followed by the usual languor. I remained lying on him without motion, only pressing him gently in my arms in hope that sleep would again assert its power and I might slip away without his perceiving it.
'But every time I moved, he muttered, "Don't get off me yet; it's so new to feel your loving weight!" 'I began to feel rather uncomfortable, fearing that madame might return and find her place occupied by a stranger. I had been there more than an hour, and she might come in at any moment, so I whispered, "I want to get up. I will return directly, got to sleep." 'As I spoke, I heard madame coming along the passage and enter the room. I had barely time to slip out the further side of the bed as she came up to that nearest to her.
'For the moment I stood in shelter of the curtains at the foot of the bed, thinking it wiser not to open the door until they had gone to sleep.
'As she was drawing the clothes round her, he said, "You were not long doing that little job, dear; turn to me again — you have been so good to me tonight, that I feel quite happy." 'What makes you feel so happy? Go to sleep, you old fool, you must have been dreaming." '"Ah!" he said with a sigh, "true, I must have been dreaming when I thought you were good to me; yet, certainly someone mounted across me and gave me such delight as I have not had for many a long day.'
'"What do you mean? I wonder, could that slut have been here! I know she is as randy as a she-cat. I will go at once and try whether she is in her bed." 'She got up, lighted a candle, and made toward the door.
'Now, thought I, the fat will be in the fire, and no mistake.
I therefore followed her, but at a sufficient distance to avoid being seen. Just as she was approaching Juanita's room, which was in the upper storey, someone opened the door and ran up against her. In the concussion, her candlestick fell and the light was extinguished; she had, however, recognised a man's shirt and bare legs; so she took Julian, who had rushed out on hearing her steps, for me, and throwing her arms round me, said, "For shame, Francis! What brought you here? Did you not get enough for one night with me? I wonder at you." 'Fearing that if he replied his voice might betray him, I sprang forward and violently bumped against her. She tumbled down with a yell, which I did not want, but as not time was to be lost, I put my hand on Julien's mouth and whispered: "Follow me." I led him at once to my room, told him to get into bed with Henri, and cover them both with the clothes until I called them. Then throwing on my dressing gown I lighted my lamp and went out into the passage.
'I met madame returning from the maid's room. On seeing me, she exclaimed: "Oh! Francis! Surely this house is haunted! Now tell me honestly, were you with Juanita tonight?" '"No, most assuredly, as you yourself very well know." '"I believe you, Francis, for you certainly had no cause; but my mind is all in a maze; my old man, too, fancies that something in woman's shape got across him, put life into his old tool and gave him pleasure; but I think the old cock must have had a wet dream — or something of that sort," she said with a laugh; "however, let us all get to bed now, and we will talk it all over tomorrow.'
'Going back to my two friends we had a quiet laugh together over the strange events of the night. They were in first-rate humour, as they had enjoyed themselves most thoroughly and thought it the best joke they have ever heard of.
'When all was still, I let them out, and having returned to bed was soon fast asleep.
'Next day, however, my troubles increased. Juanita was most loving, and seemed inclined to hug me every time I was within her reach.
"But," she observed, "it is very odd that you seem so big and strong by night, while by day, you look more like a boy than a man." 'I only smiled and said, "Ah, Juanita, you must not judge people always by appearance." '"Oh, indeed, you have taught me that lesson; but when may I expect you again?" '"As soon as I can manage it; I will give you due notice."
'"There is no need of that — come whenever you can — every night if you like. But what was wrong with the mistress last night? She seemed like a hen on a hot griddle, in no way easy with herself. She gave a screech outside my door, just after you left, and when I went out to see what was the matter, I found her sprawling on the floor, where she had been knocked down, she said, by a ghost with a blow of his wing. I looked most innocent, and helped her up; then she asked me, whether I had gone to her room and sat like a vampire bat on her husband's belly and sucked up all the juices of his old cock. I assured her, I had never left my room until that moment. Then she turned her tune, and charged me with receiving you. This, of course, I strongly denied; and I told her that, however much I desired a bachelor, I never aspired to you. 'Quite right!' she said, throwing her arms round me."
"You are a funny girl, Juanita; when I see your mistress, I will convince her that such a charge against you is a mistake; now kiss me, like a dear, and go for this time, as I am very busy.'
'I tried to keep out of Madame’s way, but it was no use, for she pounced upon me at the first opportunity.
'"Ah, Signor Gipton, you are very clever! You think to throw dust in all our eyes; but we have ears as well as eyes. You never thought that I was listening at your door last night when you and your friend were making merry at my expense. So it was not yourself that I favoured with my embrace! And you, you naughty boy, preferred the maid to the mistress! How can you be such an arrant deceiver and yet wear so innocent a face! Never mind, I'll pay you off — ah well — don't make up such a pitiful mouth — I am not so very angry, after all, if you tell me truly, which was it, your naval friend or the marine officer, who occupied your bed last night, I will not be unmerciful; and if you will let me know when he will be here again, I will overlook your offence of bringing a stranger by night into Monsieur Rinaldo's house."
