Chapter 31: “That’s it Ruby, let the men know what you want!”


Lady Hoxton's guest bedroom at Hoxton Hall


Journalist Edmund Molloy is staying at the home of fellow dinosaur expedition member Lord James Hoxton for his debauched birthday weekend. While Hoxton and the other male guests ride to Winchester for lunch, Molloy is enticed to participate in maids' bath day in the scullery, where he is on the point of taking Ruby, the red headed maid, in the bath when he is interrupted by Lady Hoxton, his host's stepmother, former nanny and first lover.  Invited into the bath with Lady Hoxton they have an intimate episode and Molloy draws her naked.


I took my portfolio back to my bedroom and took out my erotic journal.  My carnal experiences at Hoxton Hall were proceeding faster than I could note them down.  I took my journal down to the Rear Drawing Room to make some notes.  I paused outside the Turkish Salon to see if I could hear anything.  There was conversation and laughter but I could not make anything out.  It must be a very substantial door, I thought. I settled in the small drawing room on the sofa on which Sutton and I had had our unexpected moment of passion the previous night.  ! started to write about maids’ bath day and was soon happily tumescent. 

“Can I get you anything sir?” asked Ruby, having knocked on the door a half hour later and causing me to put my notebook on my lap, to cover my excitement.  I hoped she would not notice my blushing, as I was just at the point in my narrative when I had partially breached her womanhood.

“Now, Ruby, look what happened last time you asked that!” I said.  “Perhaps a cup of tea would be nice.”

“Would you like some fancy biscuits with that, sir?”

“That would be very nice.”  It was still nearly an hour and a half until lunch.

“What are you writing, sir?” she asked, cheekily.

“My journal, Ruby!”

“Lots to write about from this morning!” she said.

“Lots, indeed, Ruby,” I replied.

“You don’t need anything else, sir?”

“No, thank you.”

“You don’t need oral relief, as his Lordship calls it?  Or something more than that, maybe.   We was cruelly interrupted, so we was.  I’m still all wet below. Dribbling, so I am.  Had to take me drawers off!”

“Ruby!  Oral relief, indeed!” I said immediately thinking that would be quite nice, while I wrote up my journal. “I thought his Lordship did not engage in intimacy with his staff,” I said, wondering, again, how Hoxton kept his hands off these lovely ladies.

“He doesn’t sir.  But sometimes I do it for his guests.  Sir Gerald, for example, while his Lordship and Lady Crozier watch.  I’m really good at it!  Oral relief.  Lovely!”  She smacked her lips.

“I don’t doubt it, Ruby!”  I suppose nothing could shock me as regards the goings on in Hoxton Hall.  I remembered a comment Sutton had made about Ruby during our conversation in the Long Gallery. “But as you can imagine, I am now rather drained!”  Actually I was well able to take on this lovely little redhead but thought it would not be considered appropriate by Hoxton.  I felt guilty enough about Sutton, the butler.

“Course, you are, sir.  Although I have been told I can raise the dead, so I have.  Ingrid and Madeleine they was professionals.  Sorry.  They were professionals.  But his Lordship always gets me to do it.  On account of me superior technique!  Well, if you ever need it, let me know!” said Ruby.  She puckered her lips and blew me a kiss. “Jenny and my room is in the attic.  Last room at the end of the corridor off the west wing staircase.  We’ll be there from about just after midnight, sir.  If you don’t enjoys it downstairs.  Some as don’t.    You wouldn’t mind having Jenny as well, would you?  She is me best friend and everything, so I wouldn’t want her to miss out!  We’ll give you a good time, sir.”

“A kind offer, indeed, although I suspect I may not be able to escape tonight.  Tea and biscuits, however, sounds just perfect for now!” She bobbed a curtsey and left.  Two months ago I couldn’t get a woman to look at me and now they were flinging themselves at me.  I had just not been mixing with the right women, I supposed.  Or the wrong women!  I sat and carried on making notes in shorthand.  It was Sutton who appeared with the tea.  “I thought that Ruby might bring it,” I observed as she poured the tea.

“Ruby is quite excited enough as it is. Cook tells me that you were almost in up to the hilt until you were interrupted by her ladyship!  Do you intend to have all of the staff before you leave, sir?  Milk, sir?”

“Of course,” I replied, watching her pour it, rather than looking at her directly. In my mind all I could hear was her gasping and moaning and see her wanton hip rotations.  “At no point have I initiated any close contact with any members of staff, Sutton.”

“I suppose stripping naked in front of a group of equally naked girls, none of whom are older than nineteen, Cook excepting, isn’t initiating then, sir?”

“I am only twenty three myself, Sutton,” I said.

“Really, sir?  I thought you were older!” she said.

“There is also a difference between taking a sensual bath and actually...”

“Doing it.”

“Exactly, Sutton.” 

“But you were doing it with Ruby, really, before you were interrupted, so I have been told. So the girls got you going and her ladyship got the benefit?” said Sutton.  “That is typical!”

“You are starting to sound like a socialist, Sutton.”  She sniffed but did not reply.

“Are you enjoying sitting on that sofa, sir?” she asked, eventually.

“It holds precious memories of a lovely episode with a very special lady!” I replied.  I could now appreciate why Hoxton kept his hands off the staff. Sutton appeared to be quite jealous.

“You are good with the words, sir.  Just like her Ladyship says!”

“Now, please don’t be cross with me, Sally,” I began.

Don’t call me Sally!”  her eyes flashed.  She paused and composed herself again.  “Sir.”  I stood up and tried to put my hand on her shoulder but she backed away.

“Sorry, Sutton but I am trying to reach the woman not the butler!”  I noticed her body, which had tensed up when I tried to touch her, relaxed. “I was invited down to this...extraordinary event and pitched into a sort of carnal cauldron where apparently respectable people behave like the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah.”  I recalled Daisy’s description. “I most sincerely apologise if I was so overcome by your beauty, personality and charm that I committed an act which was not appropriate!”

“My personality and charm was it?  Not my abbreviated costume, then?  Not having my boobies on show, then?”

“Sutton, you are a magnificent creature but it was our conversation in the Long Gallery that inflamed my interest in you.  You are a fascinating woman!”

“Oh sir, it is me who should apologise.  I was the one who made the running, as you say.  It’s just everyone here gets lots of it except me.  Ross and Debney and Ingrid and Madeleine with each other.  Ruby with the guests.  Cook with the butcher, Mr Maurice.  Jenny has a thing with the milkman.  And the blacksmith’s son.  And the baker’s assistant. Anderson, the under butler, is doing it with Mr Amstrong’s gardener from the adjoining property.  Susan, the chauffeur has a man in Alton. But I have to be above it all.  I’ve never done what I did with a guest of his Lordship’s before.  I am ashamed at my lack of discipline.  It was very unprofessional of me. Cook gave me some Sherry before I got into my Turkish costume as I was nervous about my appearance.  It went to my head! I don’t drink!  Please don’t tell his Lordship!”  She stepped forward into my arms and started crying, something I have never been very good at dealing with and something I found very unexpected, given her previous demeanour.

“There, there,” I said, patting her back, my brain totally unable to come up with anything more helpful or intelligent.  She turned her face up towards me and I kissed her and she started to kiss me back.

“Well, well, Edmund.  Do you intend to have every woman in the house?  You are going through the staff like a ravening dinosaur through an expedition!  I have just seen Ross and Debney, the gardeners, in the herb garden.  They were asking after you.  Perhaps you could go out and have some al fresco fun, given what a nice day it is.  I am sure that they will put their unnatural proclivities aside for a romp with a rampant, famous Irish explorer!”  Lady Hoxton shared Sutton’s ability to appear silently, like a ghost, it seemed.  Surprisingly, given the creaking floorboards of Hoxton Hall.  I supposed that they had developed mental maps of the place, knowing which boards creaked and which did not, so they could stalk the corridors in silence.

“Sorry, Milady.  Mr Molloy was just comforting me,” said Sutton. “I was upset!”

“Yes, he is a very comforting young man.  Now, I see Mr Molloy has some tea so perhaps you might fetch me a cup as well.  Don’t worry, there is no need for me to mention this to James.  Now run along!”

“Yes, Milady.  Thank you, Milady!” Sutton bowed (she didn’t curtsey; probably by reason of her trousers) and left the room, still sniffling.

“I think she is lonely,” I said, standing up as Lady Hoxton approached the sofa.

“Yes, you can be quite lonely and still be surrounded by people,” she observed, sitting down.  “What it must be to be so desirable, Edmund.”

“Well, I imagine you would know, Lady Hoxton. Anyway, I’m not sure about that.  I think it was just because I was here, really!”

“You underestimate your physical presence.  You are a very attractive young man.  Now it seems that we are going to be on our own for luncheon!”  I sat down next to her and she patted my thigh companionably.

“Really, what about the ladies?”

“The ladies have decided to take lunch in their Turkish seraglio.  They have been joined by several more prostitutes and I shudder to think what they are all up to.  A photographer entered there earlier with a large camera and a snivveling assistant.  No doubt the Romney Marsh Warbler is continuing to debauch everyone, aided and abetted by her rancid daughters, whoever their father is. Fathers quite possibly. No doubt they have requested that their behaviour be immortalised for James to frig over.  Sir Gerald, of whom I am very fond, your fresh faced friend Mr Britten. Sir Jonty, the general and James are having lunch in the George in Winchester.  At least the inns in Winchester haven’t kept prostitutes for sixty years or so. Otherwise they would have rolled back later smelling of port and cunt, as Caroline would no doubt crudely but accurately put it.  I intend to keep you for myself this afternoon!” 

“I don’t mind being a kept man, Lady Hoxton!” I said, smiling.

“I really do insist that you call me Molly, at least when we are on our own.  Lady Hoxton makes me sound so dreadfully...old.”  I opened my mouth.  “No, Edmund, there is no need for well meant platitudes as to my youthful appearance and comely form.  I am very attractive, still, thank God!  This I know. Now, I think I would like you to draw me once more. More visual evidence of my desirability would be most welcome!”

“Shall we retire upstairs for that?” I said. Sutton had brought en enormous plate of biscuits and I had not eaten that much at breakfast, as Lady Hoxton had barely given me an opportruniuty to take so much as a mouthful. I wondered if I could take the plate of biscuits with me.  I eyed them greedily.

“I was not aware, Edmund, that the consumption of fancy biscuits was a key part of the creative process!”

“I, I,...I..” stammered.

“Fear not, you can draw me here and consume all the biscuits you desire, although if you were young James, as he was, I would forbid it on the grounds that lunch is imminent!”

“Of course, nanny," I said cheekily.  "I will go and get my drawing materials!” When I returned to the Rear Drawing Room, Ruby was removing Lady Hoxton’s clothes.  I was surprised, as I thought that we would be doing some clothed poses, given the public nature of the room.  Lady Hoxton stepped out of her drawers and stood before me unashamedly naked apart from her black stockings.  I was already erect.  She looked at my groin.

“I do hope that will not prevent you from concentrating by diverting blood away from your brain, Edmund!” Ruby looked at my groin too and giggled.  “Now where do you want me?”  I mumbled and indicated the sofa.  Lady Hoxton told Ruby to run along and ask cook to provide a light luncheon on trays, to be consumed afterwards. “A bottle of Hock too.  It makes a change from all the French wine I usually have.”

Lady Hoxton posed for a trio of nude drawings I made in red and white chalk on coloured paper, in the Whistler style.  I had her reclining, bottom up on the sofa, sat on a chair in her stockings and finally standing (always the biggest challenge) with her hands on her hips looking appropriately assertive.  She selected the standing one to keep, as I knew she would and offered me any one of the others.  She would then keep the third drawing too. Instead, I asked her to pose for an intimate portrait and she agreed to sit on the chair, with her legs spread while I did a detailed drawing of her parts in pencil for my collection. 

“Oh!” came a voice.  I turned around and saw Edith standing in the doorway, dressed in one of Lord Hoxton's paisley dressing gowns. 

“Mrs Challenor!  Do come in!  You have escaped from the seraglio!  Of your own volition, I hope, not abducted, as Mozart would have it!”

“Indeed not, Lady Hoxton.  I take it that dear Edmund has been exercising his skills once more!” She entered the room and I stood up and showed her the picture I had just finished of Lady Hoxton’s parts.  “You really will have to exhibit these at that brothel you seem to enjoy visiting of late!”

“Ah, is the depiction of women’s parts a particular peccadillo of Mr Molloy?” asked Lady Hoxton, standing up to kiss Edith on the cheek.

“He is building a collection, indeed!” replied Edith, sitting next to Lady Hoxton, as she indicated.

“A small collection!” I added.

“Mr Mollloy, will you ring the bell for me please?” asked Lady Hoxton.  “Would you like some tea, Mrs Challenor.  Edith nodded.  I caught her appraising Lady Hoxton’s toned body. I stood up and rang the bell on the wall.

“I must say, Lady Hoxton, that you have a from worthy of a skilled artist!  I am impressed!” said Edith.

“Thank you Mrs Challenor.  Your compliment is appreciated. I do participate in a lot of physical activity.  I swim, ride and play tennis, in France.” 

“Do you spend most of the year there?” asked Edith.  Lady Hoxton seemed to have no qualms engaging in chit-chat with Edith, as they discussed her house, the climate in the South of France and the importance of keeping out of the sun, despite only being dressed in her stockings. Sutton appeared.

“Ah Sutton, will you ask Madeleine to bring me a peignoir, as I do feel somewhat underdressed. Also please send Ruby in here forthwith with some fresh tea and a cup for Mrs Challenor!  You will take lunch with us also?”  Edith nodded. Sutton bowed and left.  A few minutes later Ruby appeared carrying a tray. She attended to our tea.

“Will that be all, Milady?” she asked.

“No Ruby.  Mr Molloy is a collector of female pudenda.  In more ways than one, I suspect, but for now would you assent to him drawing yours, Ruby?  It is well thought of I know!” Lady Hoxton stood up as Madeleine arrived and dressed her, rather disappointingly, in an ornate silk peignoir. The French girl withdrew.

“Draw me what, milady?” asked Ruby, frowning.

“Your pudenda, dear!” said Lady Hoxton. Ruby kept frowning. “Your pussy, Ruby.  Mr Molloy enjoys drawing ladies’ parts!”

“Oh!  Right!  Of course!” said Ruby.  “Where do you want me?” 

“Just remove your drawers, dear and sit on that chair with your feet on the seat so that you are nicely displayed!”

“Not wearing any drawers, Milady!” said Ruby, hiking up her skirt and sitting on the chair, her magnificent ginger pussy displayed to excellent effect.

“Oh what a lovely colour your intimate hair is, Ruby!” said Edith.

“I like it!” said Ruby, stroking it, distractingly.  “Would you like me to frig meself, Mr Molloy, sir!” asked Ruby.

“An uninterrupted view would be best!” I said, pulling out a piece of cream paper.

Sans doigts!” said Lady Hoxton.

“You what, milady?” asked Ruby.

“Without fingers, dear!” I set to work, not at all surprised at such an opportunity.  Ruby was grinning at me and my close study from not much more than a yard away had me observing her patently aroused state.  In fact I could smell it upon her. I sniffed.

“Did you just sniff, Edmund?” laughed Edith. I blushed and pretended I had not heard. Young Ruby had quite the most delicious parts I had ever seen.  They were as nice as Daisy’s but had the extra enticement of her ginger curls. I finished at last.

“There!  Thank you Ruby!” she hopped up to look over my shoulder at my pencil drawing.

“Ooh you is clever! Look at me.  All glistening, you can tell!”

“I assume Mr Molloy has immortalised you in such a way as well,” said Lady Hoxton to Edith.

“Indeed so.  Very early on in our...arrangement,” answered Edith.

“I have had an artistic inspiration!” said Lady Hoxton, suddenly. “Mrs Challenor, I may assume too much but would you be prepared to pose in such an intimate way?  Before us all?”

“Of course!  What fun, although Edward already has a picture of me, as I said!”

“Nor for a drawing!” said Lady Hoxton.   “We will create a piece of avant-garde work to shock my friends in France!   Now we need to engage the services of that photographer.”

“Smaile,” I said.

“Really?  Snail?  A nickname, no doubt!” I did not bother to correct her. “We will ask him to make some arousing pictures to give James a shock when he looks at them later!  You will join in of course, Mr Molloy, as you are intimately familiar with us already!”

“Well, while any time with you ladies would be lovely,” I said, actually worried about when Daisy might emerge and now wishing I had ridden to Winchester too.  “I am not sure about Smaile’s presence!”

“I have quite decided!  Ruby dear, do you feel brave enough to enter that den of iniquity down the corridor and extract the photographer, Snail?”

“Den of what, Milady?”

“The Turkish Salon.  Where the ladies, for want of a more accurate term, are no doubt desporting themselves, as if they were in a harem painting by Gérôme.”

“They was all naked, Milady!”  Lady Hoxton raised an eyebrow. “They were all naked, Milady.  See I is learning!” added Ruby, triumphantly.  Lady Hoxton shook her head.

“And what were they up to, if it wouldn’t shock Mr Molloy, here?”

“They were making some concoction, so they were, and sitting around with their legs apart!  All very Turkish. apparently!”

“A concoction indeed.  They sound more like the witches from Macbeth.  Do we need to add witchcraft to Caroline’s other vices, I wonder?”

“It is the reason I left them earlier.  The concoction was not something I desired!” said Edith.

“Sensible, Mrs Challenor.  Sensible.  There is a good chance that anything Caroline gives you will have marijuana in it!”

“Oh, I had that!  That was not a problem!” laughed Edith.

Within a few minutes, Ruby had brought Smaile into the drawing room.

“Mr Snail!  I am Lady Hoxton and I would have you bring your photographic apparatus into this room and take some photographs for me!”

“It is nice and bright!” said Smaile, looking over at the windows.  “Where exactly were you thinking about posing?   I assume it is you that is wanting to pose, Milady!” 

“Indeed so and while you are the expert, Mr Snail.  I do have an idea I wish to pursue!”

“Excellent!” said Smaile looking her up and down and rubbing the thighs of his check trousers.  “If we can move this sofa more into the light and remove that table I can put the camera here!  I will fetch my assistant.”  Smaile disappeared.

 “Ruby you will remain here!” said Lady Hoxton. “Please remove all your clothes!”

“Of course, Milady!” said Ruby, removing her apron. By the time Smaile and Smithers had entered the drawing room with the camera and its tripod Ruby was down to her stockings.

“Everything off, dear.  We are creating art not titillation!” said Lady Hoxton. Ruby removed her stockings while Smithers leered at her.

“I miss me mum!” said Smithers.

“Really, how unfortunate, although you should say ‘I miss my mum!’ Kindly remain quiet, young man!” said Lady Hoxton.  Smithers sniffed and shuffled backwards. Smaile then had him move the sofa after Lady Hoxton and Edith stood up.  Lady Hoxton dropped her peignoir on the sofa.  Edith immediately did the same with her dressing gown.  “Ruby. You may remove my stockings!”

“I was going to ask what sort of pictures you were planning, Lady Hoxton but it appears clear!” said Smaile.

“Mrs Challenor, Ruby, sit next to me on the sofa.  Feet on the seat.  Haunches touching.  Do not be shy!  We are creating art!”

“I am not shy!” said Edith, winking at me.

“Now, Mr Snail.  Is it possible for you to position your photographiuc apparatus in such a way that you can capture our displayed feminine parts in one image?”  Not our faces.  Just that area."

“Not with the tripod,” said Smaile. “You are too low down.  Wait a minute!” Smaile started to remove the camera from the tripod and then had Smithers clear a coffee table. He placed the camera on the table and used some books to slightly raise it up.  In the meantime I did a quick sketch of the ladies posing in front of the camera.  Ruby, who was sat next to Edith in the centre of the trio, wriggled.

“Keep still dear!” said Lady Hoxton.

“I need a piddle, Milady!” said Ruby.

“You will have to hold it in, dear.  As James is not present there is no excuse for any micturation in public, unless Mr Molloy would enjoy it!”  I pretended not to hear and hoped Edith wouldn’t say anything.

“I’m alright, Milady!” said Ruby.

“Come and have a look, Ed!” said Smaile.  I looked through the camera and even though the image was upside down, and the wrong way round, the sight was something to behold; three disembodied pussies on display.

“Gosh!” I said.  "Splendid!"

“Hold very still, ladies!” said Smaile and took the first photograph. “Another plate, Smithers!” said Smaile.  He took four images in total. “All done ladies! All completely anonymous!”

“Excellent.  Now some of myself alone, please!  You may now include my face.”

“What a pleasure!” said Smaile.  Smaile snapped into professional manner and photographed Lady Hoxton, posing very provocatively, on the sofa.  "Just lean forward a little, Milady! There that’s it!  Lovely!” Smithers kept handed him more plates and noted down and numbered every exposed plate.

“Mrs Challenor?” said Lady Hoxton.

“Oh yes, what fun!” said Edith, going through a similar set of poses.

 “Perfect!” said Smaile, taking a picture and handing the plate to Smithers who replaced it with another one.  They worked like a well oiled machine and soon there was a stack of a over a dozen exposed plates on the coffee table.  Finally, Edith knelt on the seat of the sofa, her bottom presented, her arsehole on display, as suggested by Lady Hoxton.

“One for James!” laughed Lady Hoxton “Excellent, Mr Snail!  I should have had you take my photograph the last time I was here.  Now, James says that you take photyographs of people in the act of coition, is that correct?”

“Do you mean...?” began Smaile.

“Fucking, Mr Snail.”

“Er, yes, Milady...” said Smaile.

“Excellent.  I will remain on this sofa and Mr Molloy will copulate with me and you will photograph us!”

“Really?” said Smaile.

“Really?” I asked.

“Excellent!” said Edith.

“I do apologise, Mrs Challenor but I am afraid that I have already had the benefit of Mr Molloy’s splendid appendage this morning.  A record of it would be amusing!”

“Please do proceed!” said Edith.  “May I observe?”

“Of course!  Rather the purpose of this weekend, I do think! Now, Mr Snail, the following pictures will be a separate commission from me and are not to be included in any images you supply for James.  I will pay you fifty pounds and I rely on your discretion.  Yours too, Mrs Challenor!”

“Of course, Lady Hoxton!”

 “Excellent!  Ruby please remove Mr Molloy’s clothes.  You may excite him as you see fit, so that he is in an appropriate state for his pictures!”  Ruby leapt at me with alacrity and began to remove my clothes in something of a frenzy.

“Oh yes, Milady.  I’ll soon have him up and about, so I will!” she said, undoing my waistcoat buttons.

“I am not sure about this!  I said bravely.  “Mr Smaile is a work colleague!  It would be most inappropriate!”

“This is not a request on my part, Mr Molloy.,” said Lady Hoxton. “You will comply with my instructions.  I am not sure how James would react if I told him of our activities in the scullery.  He does have something of a temper!”

“I see!” I said, recognising blackmail when I saw it.

“It’s all professional Ed,” said Smaile.  “Photographed hundreds of  people doing it I have.  Men with women,  Girls with boys.  Men with men.  Women with women.  Men with girls..”

“Alright, Smaile!” I said.

“All just bodies to me!  All just technical exercises and compositional challenges!  Yes indeedy! I won’t mention it to anyone.  Bad for my reputation, that would be!”

“Even so!” I said.  Ruby was undoing the laces of my shoes, having got me down to my shirtsleeves above the waist.  Edith had put her dressing gown on again but had left it undone at the front.  She gently stroked her belly as she watched Ruby disrobe me.

“Do feel free if you wish to frig, Mrs Challenor.  Although I have no interest in tribadic activity I do enjoy witnessing sexual arousal in anyone!”  Edith cupped a breast.

“Now, of course you can’t just go at it as you might usually, Milady!” said Smaile.  “Even in this bright light you need to be able to keep still.  No movement.  I’m not photographing you copulating I am photographing you in the poses of copulation.  It is quite different!”

“I understand perfectly, Mr Smaile,” said Lady Hoxton.  “The image is an artifice not a true record of a coupling!”

“What if someone walks in on us?” I asked, as Ruby put her fingers inside the waist band of my drawers.

“Then they are in for a treat!” said Lady Hoxton.  Ruby tugged my drawers down to my ankles.

“Good God, Ed!” said Smaile.  “You are going to be an excellent model.  You could earn a lot of money from some of my clients!”

“No comments, Smaile!” I snapped at him.

“Shall I get to work, milady!” said Ruby, who was kneeling in front of me.  She looked up at me. eagerly, like a well trained dog about to be given permission to attack a bone.

“Do proceed, dear!” said Lady Hoxton, leaning back in the sofa and parting her thighs. 

Despite my initial discomfort about being naked in front of Smaile and Smithers, I swelled like a fairground balloon within seconds of Ruby beginning her ministrations.  I soon discoverd that her boasts as to her oral ability were quite justified, as she set to work on me with her soft lips and probing tongue.

“Such a lovely one!” said Lady Hoxton.

“Christ, Ed!” muttered Smaile.  “Beg pardon, Milady!” he added hastily.  She nodded at him and grinned.

“Like a donkey!” said Smithers.  I looked at him and he had a worrying bulge in his trousers.

“Schlmp, schlurp!” went Ruby, saliva dripping on to the Persian rug. She pulled off me.  “How’s that, Milady?  Sorry he's covered in my spit.”

“Perfect, dear!  Quite perfect!  Such a lovely curve!  You have well lubricated him indeed, although looking at him I do not need such!”  She stood up and removed her peignoir.

“Wriggle forward slightly off the end of the sofa, your ladyship and you kneel between her legs, Ed and enter her!” instructed Smaile.  Smaile was a professional and obviously an expert at this sort of photograph.  He briskly put us through a series of poses upon the sofa.  I had, by now, lost all my inhibitions, even at the rather passionless time of ten minutes past midday.   Ruby sat on the chair watching us intently and ‘oohed’ and ‘aaahed’ ever time I penetrated Lady Hoxton, who must have been enjoying herself as her female parts were quite wet.  Edith had her fingers in her parts. Smithers continued to pass plates to Smaile as he took more and more photographs.  As I sat on the sofa with my feet on the rug and Lady Hoxton sat on my lap, astride me, I did wonder how many plates he had brought with him.

“How many plates have you brought with you?” I asked, as Lady Hoxton span around on my lap so she had her back to me and her front to the camera.  Skillfully, she managed the manoeuvre  without me having to withdraw from her.

“Well over eight hundred!” said Smaile. “Needed a lorry!”

“Goodness!  It will take some time to develop and print all those!” I said.

“That it will!” said Smaile.  “Smithers is going to be busy, ain’t you Smithers?  And that is the last one, I think!” said Smaile. “You do all possess very attractive nether regions, ladies.  If you ever want to supplement your income...!”

“Smaile!” I warned.

“How kind, Mr Snail!  Right, Edmund.  We will get dressed and have some lunch. I hope you will join us, Mrs Challenor.  Ruby please tell cook to bring lunch for three and an extra bottle of Hock.  

“Yes, Milady!” Ruby curtsied. “Shouldn’t I finish Mr Molloy off, Milady.  He looks awful stiff, so he does.  Ballocks must be bursting!”

“I think not but Mr Smaile why don’t you take a photograph of Ruby servicing Mr Molloy orally?”  I was positioned siting on the sofa while Ruby knelt to one side and took me into her mouth.  She looked up at me and gave me a cheeky wink.

Perfect!” said Smaile.  “All done!"  Ruby pulled off me, kissed my knob and stood up.

“We are taking a short break," said Lady Hoxton.  “We will renew our carnal activity after lunch, I think!  Mr Molloy can simmer in the interim.  You may get dressed Mr Molloy!”

“Right!  Off to take some more photographs of the Babylon ladies in the orangery!” said Smaile. “The string quartet should have arrived by now! One of 'em has a dog.  Famous for me dog portraits I am! I’ll photograph them naked playing their instruments.  Always like to see a naked girl with a cello between her legs! Come along Smithers!”

“Massive cock!” said Smithers, looking at me.

“It certainly is!” said Lady Hoxton. “I still feel quite liquid!”






We took a very light lunch of ham and cold boiled potatoes with piccalilli, from trays in the rear drawing room,  We shared two bottles of Hock and chatted about the preparations for the expedition.  Lady Hoxton was intrigued as to how we were going to carry food for so many weeks.  I answered that I was intrigued too.

“A caravan of glistening naked negro bearers would do the job, no doubt!” said Lady Hoxton. “I visited a dear friend who lives on the Congo.  We travelled up river and arrived at a village just as all the young men were bathing in the water. Such lovely ebony cocks swinging as they moved. I had to buy one for the afternoon!”

“Very exotic!” I said. “What were the girls like?”

“I don’t see women, Mr Molloy.  Not in that way!”

“Perhaps you should try it. I’m sure...” I began.

“How do you know whether I have not already tried it?” She looked at me over her glass and raised her eyebrows.

“That is an arousing thought!” I said.  She patted my crotch.

“So it is!”

“You, I believe, Mrs Chasllenor, are that way inclined however,” said Lady Hoxton. 

“Not exclusively, Lady Hoxton.  As an occasional alternative,” smiled Edith.

“Did you find my body arousing?”

“I did, your ladyship.  I enjoyed everything about our activities before luncheon.  Especially the photographs.   I am intrigued to see how I look in them.  In particular, our triple portrait!”

“Yes, I will display it in my house in France.  I will call it ‘the irrelevance of class’.  It depicts an upper class, a middle class and a lower class woman and yet from observing their parts it is impossible to tell who is who.  It will bait my friends who will accuse me of socialist sympathies!”

“May I have a copy as well?” asked Edith.  “I am minded to display it in my bedroom and see if my husband notices it at all!”

“Don’t worry, Edmund.   You shall get a copy as well!” said Lady Hoxton.  “As well as a selection of the others!”

“Thank you Lady Hoxton!”  I really might have to tell Daisy about this, I realised.

After lunch, Sutton appeared with a petite brown haired girl in a dark grey maid’s uniform.  She was introduced as Sir Gerald and Lady Crozier’s maid and she would be helping, as she usually did, with arrangements for the weekend.

“What sort of arrangements do you undertake, Violet?” I asked politely, as she helped Sutton take away the decanters on the sideboard which, I assumed, Hoxton did not want raided during the weekend.

“You really are a greedy young man!” scolded Lady Hoxton.  “Mr Molloy is attempting to have every women in the house this weekend!”

“Really, your ladyship?” asked Violet, looking at me with interest.

“I really am not!” I said.  “I have been most...”

“Willing to give things a try, I rather think. From maids to dowagers!”  I glanced at Sutton who looked at the rug.  Lady Hoxton spotted it immediately.  “Not you too Sutton?  I am astounded!”

“Please don’t tell his lordship!” she said.  “It was all me not him!”

“I am amused,” said Lady Hoxton.  “Amused and surprised, not critical in any way, Sutton.  Mr Molloy is a most enjoyable gentleman!”

I could feel Violet still looking at me and made sure I stared at the rug.

“I will be helping with the costunes, sir,” said Violet.  “As  I have some skill as a seamstress.  Although people had fittings some months ago they sometimes need altering on the day!”

“Now run along, Violet dear.  You can ask Sutton all about Mr Molloy’s...accomplishments!” 






Half an hour later Lady Hoxton, Edith and I were naked in the principal guest room, where Lady Hoxton was staying.  I must have looked uncomfortable, looking at the bed, as she pulled the covers off.

"Do not worry, Edmund. the sheets are clean. James took me on the floor, not in the bed, this morning!"

Edith and Lady Hoxton lay on their backs with their legs apart while I darted from one pussy to another like a humming bird, licking their juicy parts. The scenario had been Lady Hoxton’s and I was thoroughly enjoying the contrasting taste of the two musky quims. Lady Hoxton, despite her repudiation of Sapphic pleasure, had her arm around Edith and was commenting positively on Mrs Challenor’s bosom. Edith, during those intervals when I was gamahuching Lady Hoxton, gently frigged herself and watched me perform upon Lady Hoxton.

“I do confess, Edith,” said Lady Hoxton (she had begun to use Edith’s Christian name since we had gone upstairs) “that being gamahuched is the only way that I can habitually reach climax these days.”

“It is a pleasure indeed,” said Edith, as I transferred my increasingly fatigued tongue to her parts.  “As I once said to young Edmund, the act of copulation is like banging a drum but the act of gamahuche is like playing the violin”. 

“Ah!  Very well put indeed!  Even our brief time today has made me realise that you may be something of a soulmate, Edith.  When your husband is chasing dinosaurs with Edmund you must come and stay with me in France.  Perhaps next month?”

“I would be.. Ah!  Edmund!... delighted, Lady Hoxton.” While I was gamahuching Edith I slipped two fingers of my right hand into Lady Hoxton’s cunt and stroked her bud with my thumb.

“Some say that the act of gamahuching is best done by another woman, although that has not been my experience!” said Lady Hoxton.

“We really need to introduce you properly to the tongue of our dear friend Daisy!” said Edith.

“Perhaps this weekend, above all others, is one for another experiment.  Oh!” I had resumed my oral assault on Lady Hoxton’s parts. This particular form of sexual activity I had not even contemplated until I had met Edith Challenor.  My fellow rugby players had often discussed receiving what Ruby had called ‘oral relief’ from whores or, in one or two cases, from particularly forward wives but I had no notion that there was a female equivalent.  I soon got used to the strong taste, musky smell and started to appreciate the variation in both taste and the different appearance of each woman’s parts. “Oh!  Oh! Yes!” gasped Lady Hoxton. I kissed her parts, gently. Personally, I find it very satisfying to bring a lady to her climax with my mouth; it really is the most intimate of acts.  

“That was most enjoyable, Lady Hoxton!” I said.

“Indeed so.  I admit to being all of a-quiver!  Well done, Edmund” she replied. “Gosh!  Really rather a splendid one!  Now you must finish off Edith!”  I did so and she only took around a minute of concentrated effort, which was just as well as the root of my tongue was now starting to ache with the effort. The two ladies moved across on the bed so that I could lie between them.  We were all gently perspiring, as there was a fire in the room but the sun was streaming through the windows as well.  Edith was stroking my manhood and Lady Hoxton was tickling my balls.

“Perhspa we should help Edmund...” began Edith.

“I was thinking the same thing.  The poor boy!  Edith would you like to do the homours or should I arrange an alternative?”

“An alternative sounds intriguing!” said Edith, to my disappointment. This disappointment would not last long. 

Lady Hoxton stood up and rang the bell to summon one of the staff.  I did not feel the need to cover myself as I was expecting either Ruby, Madeleine or Sutton to appear; all of whom had seen me naked.  I was shocked, therefore, when another young lady, dressed in a butler’s tailcoat and striped trousers, entered the room.  I could not cover myself with the sheet as Lady Hoxton had pulled off all the bedclothes.  The new lady was a slim blonde with a long pigtail that reached to her tailbone.  She had pale blue eyes and a sweet rosebud mouth.

“Ah, Anderson!  How nice to see you again!” said Lady Hoxton. “May I introduce Mrs George Challenor, wife of the esteemed naturalist and paleontologist and Mr Edmund Molloy, the journalist and dinosaur hunter!”  I climbed out of bed, after Edith had stood as well, feeling even more naked than when I had been lying down.

“Delighted to meet you, Anderson!” I said.  She showed not one whit of surprise at my naked state.

“Mr Molloy will not shake hands Anderson, even though he is a very polite young Irishman, on account of his hand being covered in my feminine juices!”

“Of course not, Milady. I gather he is particularly good at inducing the production of those!  It is a pleasure to meet you sir and a delight to see you again, Mrs Challenor.”

“Anderson has been looking after us in the Turkish Salon,” explained Edith, "but we weren't properly introduced, earlier." Lady Hoxton tutted.

“Anderson is the under butler, Edmund, with particular responsibility for wine, something about which, despite her other estimable qualities, Sutton knows little about, being teetotal due to an unfortunate amount of Scottish Presbyterian blood,” said Lady Hoxton.

“I have just returned from London with the extra Champagne, Milady. It is being put in the ice house and will all be well chilled for tonight.”

“Excellent!  I think we might take a glass or two now!” said Lady Hoxton, picking up her peignoir. 

Anderson helped her on with it. Edith put her dressing gown on too.  I remained naked.

“Of course Lady Hoxton.  Do you require anything else at this stage!”

“I do indeed, Anderson!”  She stepped close to her and whispered in her ear.  Anderson smiled and looked at me.  Oh no!  What now?

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door and Lady Hoxton, although she insisted I call her Molly it did not sit very well with me, asked the person to come in.  This time Anderson was accompanied by Ruby, as Lady Hoxton had obviously requested. Anderson opened the Champagne and poured a glass for Lady Hoxton, Edith and myself.  She departed leaving Ruby standing there, her hands clasped neatly in front of her white apron.

“Ruby my dear,” began Lady Hoxton.

“Yes, Milady.”

“Lord Hoxton’s birthday evening is almost upon us. Within four or five hours the house will be full of copulating men and women!”

“Yes, Milady.  I can’t wait Milady!” said Ruby, giving a little wriggle.

“Now, I know that James whores you out to his guests sometimes, which is, basically disgraceful...”

“I enjoys it Milady,” answered Ruby.  “It’s only with his special friends, like Sir Gerald and Lord Ventnor.  I like them. Lord Ventnor has lovely big ballocks, Milady!  I like milking them, so I do.”  Oh no, I thought, I kept forgetting Lord Ventnor would be there.  I really did not want to see his big ballocks or the rest of him naked.  Hoxton, Britten and Sir Gerald were at least all slim and fit, although I had noticed that Britten was developing something of a paunch of late.  He had admitted to increasingly taking dinner at the Reform and then having supper ‘afterwards’ at the Babylon Exploration Society.

“Well then young Ruby, I am looking for something arousing to watch and as in the scullery earlier I interrupted you and Mr Molloy’s  imminent...how should I put it?"

“It wasn’t imminent, Milady, Mr Molloy was already half up me!”

“Oh dear, so I really did catch you in flagrante, Well, I was wondering if you might like to resume where you left off, for our entertainment and Mr Molloy’s relief.”  Ruby was already undoing her apron before Lady Hoxton had finished speaking.
.
“Let me at him, Milady!  Get ready to be ravished, Mr Molloy, sir!”  I don’t think I have ever seen a person remove their clothes as fast as Ruby did that afternoon.  Even faster than Britten that morning. “On your back sir!” she said as I sat on the bed.

“That’s it Ruby, let the men know what you want!” said Edith, who was sitting on her haunches at one side of the ornate canopied bed.

“Hear, hear!” said Lady Hoxton who had sat herself cross legged on the other side of the bed.

“Oh I know just what I want, so I do!” said Ruby, pulling her chemise off to reveal her perky, pale pink-tipped teats and that ginger moss. “Sod it, I’ll leave me stockings on!” she said, after fiddling with her garter. “Beg pardon for language, Milady!”

“Frank language is allowable, Ruby!” said Lady Hoxton.  “There is a time and place to behave improperly and if not this weekend then when?”

Ruby jumped onto the bed, her Champagne coupe breasts bouncing appealingly and pushed my thighs apart.  Watching her disrobe had already got me almost at full capacity and her hand soon had me all the way.  “Lovely cock!” she said before bending down and licking my length and then around the base of my knob. “Do you want to join in, Milady?” she asked offering my erection to Lady Hoxton.  “Big enough to share!”

“No thank you, Ruby.  This is all for you!”

“Thank you kindly, Milady!” she said, putting her mouth over my knob and starting to tickle me with her tongue.  Ruby gamahuched me particularly wetly, thick gobs of salive pouring from her mouth and soaking my cock and ballocks.  She pushed my manhood back against my belly and slurped over my ballocks, sucking them both into her mouth.  I felt her forearms sliding under my thighs and pushing my legs up.  I gave in to the pressure and pulled my knees back towards my shoulders. I felt very exposed. “Lovely big ballocks, so they are!" said Ruby.  “Just relax!”  Shockingly, Ruby then began to lick my arsehole while pumping my cock. She stiffened her tongue and pushed at my sphincter.  I did relax and even pushed back experimentally and felt the tip of her tongue slide inside my anal entrance a little.

“You dirty, dirty girl, Ruby!” said Lady Hoxton.  “Well done!”  To my surprise Lady Hoxton leant forward and kissed me on the lips.  Her tongue slid into my mouth in a way that we had not really kissed before.  I slipped my hand inside her peignoir and fondled her bubbies. Then I gasped! Ruby had slid her finger up my arsehole as she resumed slurping on my knob. In and out, went her slim finger and then she was feeling for a particular part of my insides with her fingertip.

“My God, Ruby!” I said as I experienced a completely unexpectedly enjoyable sensation from inside my rectum.  I was on the edge of spending when she pulled off me and extracted her finger.  She looked at me and licked it lasciviously. She clambered up me and settled over my hips, kneeling astride them. Edith reached across and held my manhood upright so Ruby could settle down on me.  Lady Hoxton turned her head to watch, as I did, Ruby settle down over my manhood.

“Bugger me!” said Ruby.  “Beg, pardon, Milady!”

“An understandable reaction!” laughed Lady Hoxton.

“Ooh, Mr Molloy!” said Ruby, as she started to bounce up and down on me, her small breasts bobbing.  I looked down and saw myself sliding in and out of that ginger thatch, her slim, ivory, upper thighs contrasting with her black stockings. White cream was running down my cock in rivulets. I grabbed her shoulders and rolled her over onto her back, filled with a desire to penetrate her as deeply as I could.  “Oooh!” she squealed, as I pushed her legs back as she had done with me.  She put her legs over my shoulders as I drove into her as hard and as fast as I could.

“That’s it Edmund!” said Lady Hoxton, stroking my behind as I plunged between Ruby’s slim legs.  “Ravish her!”

“Ohhhh! Fucking Christ!” said Ruby, coming, I thought, but I just kept pounding her.  No thought of Daisy, Edith, or even Lady Hoxton in my mind.  My whole being just concentrating on this lovely, hot, juicy cunt, those gripping thighs, those pale nipples and that sweet, freckled face.  Ruby was grinning at me and I was dripping sweat on her face as I started to lose control, gripping her tiny wrists and thrusting with all my might and main. I just had sense to pull out before it was too late and came and came and came on her belly. I collapsed on top of her, feeling my emissions on my own stomach as I gradually lost my stiffness.

“Well done Edmund!  Entertaining performance Ruby!” said Lady Hoxton.  I looked sideways at Edith who was furiously frigging.

“Oh God!”she sighed.

I lay on my back to recover myself and Ruby settled on top of me.  Lady Hoxton and Edith cuddled up to me on either side.

“What a lucky boy you are, Edmund Molloy!” said Edith.

“I don’t deserve such beauty and passion,” I said.

“You perhaps don’t,” said Lady Hoxton, "but your penis certainly does! Now let us get cleaned up and have some tea downstairs.  We need to change into our costumes!”

At that point the bedroom door opened and Hoxton strode in, still in his riding clothes.

“Molloy!  Have you just been rogering my first love, you cheeky bugger?” he asked.

“In fact he hasn’t,” Lady Hoxton said.  “He has been rogering Ruby, or rather more accurately Ruby has been rogering him, while we watched them!”

“Splendid!  Lovely girl, Ruby is!”  Ruby had lumped out of bed as soon as Hoxton appeared and stood with her hands  crossed in front of her ginger pussy.  A small trail of liquid was dribbling down her thigh.

“You smell of horse," said Lady Hoxton after he leant down to give her a kiss, "and while Caroline might appreciate being done by a stallion I do not!” 

“That was only the once and then just to win a two thousand guinea bet,” said Hoxton.  My mind reeled at this latest revelation.

“Why don’t you run along and get one of your whores to wash you down!” said Lady Hoxton.

“Top hole idea!  The string quartet has arrived.  They could do the job quickly! Well done Molly!” said Hoxton.  “Glad you’re having fun Molloy! Splendid as ever, Edith. Lovely arse, Ruby!” he said, swatting her naked behind as he left the room. She jumped and squeaked like a mouse.
