Part Ten
Rupert's going to spring a surprise tomorrow night,' Rhea said as she lay in Adam's arms. He's got the ring and he's going to announce the engagement at dinner.'
Eve? Are you awake and is Rupert with you?
I'm awake and no, Rupert isn't here. What is it?
He's going to announce your engagement at dinner tomorrow night.
Well I suppose we'd better get it out in the open, I can't keep fighting him off.
You mean you haven't as yet with him?
No, I've been the proper lady and said I wouldn't until we were officially engaged. It's been bloody hard not having it while you've been romping with Rhea. Is she there with you now?
Yes.
Lucky sod! Well I'll be having Rupert tomorrow night then. Will you be announcing your engagement too.
Good Lord! I don't know. I'll let you know later after I find out what Rhea has in mind. Sleep tight and I'll see you in the morning.
`Rhea?' Adam said softly.
`Mmm?' she asked sleepily and his heart began to thump loudly inside his chest.
`Will you marry me?'
`What?' she gasped suddenly coming wide awake and propping herself up on an elbow.
`I said, will you marry me?'
Oh Adam,' she cried, flinging herself over him and kissing his face. Marry you? Of course I will. I've been waiting for you to ask ever since I first saw you walk into the drawing room.' She was bouncing about, her breasts thumping him on the arm as she did so. I'm so happy now you gorgeous man,' smothering him in kisses again as she felt down the bed to find him hard again. This is to be all mine,' she cried as she moved the covers back and got astride of him and holding his cock upright, slid down onto it. Mrs Rhea Baker,' she cried in time to her moving up and down on him, her breasts moving quite violently that made him reach up to hold them still as she moved. I'll lose the title of Lady, but who cares.'
`You'll always be a Lady to me,' Adam said. She stopped her bouncing and sat on his thighs and then began to move her hips in a swivelling motion, almost as if she wanted him to be a screw fixing itself to a piece of wood.
`I don't want to be your lady. I want to be your wife, your mistress, your whore, your slut, your slave. You will be my master as long as you can keep this up, especially where it is,' and she gave out a groan and her hands knocked his away as she crushed her breasts and stifled her scream as she had an orgasm. He came too and as she fell onto his chest, he held her tight and felt her tears drop onto his neck.
Both Eve and Rhea were positively buzzing at breakfast as was Rupert, and Adam asked the latter if he could talk to him outside in the gardens after the meal. He agreed and they were soon walking across the grass and Adam spoke.
`I did a hasty and ill timed thing last night,' he began and Rupert laughed and stopped and shook his hand.
`Rhea couldn't wait to tell me this morning that you proposed to her last night. Congratulations. She came bursting into my room while I was still in bed to tell me her news. I'm happy for her and happy for you.'
But you don't understand,' Adam said. I haven't asked your father yet if I could and would he accept me as a son-in-law.'
`I shouldn't worry about that. He'll be as pleased as punch. I can see him puffing out his chest and declaring that at least we're keeping it all in the family.'
But I haven't even thought about buying an engagement ring yet,' Adam said, a worried look on his face, for she let it slip that you were going to make your announcement tonight. Now, I have this premonition that after you do, she's going to make hers.'
That would be just like her,' he laughed. Well the ring is no problem,' and he told Adam where to go in Guildford to buy one. He even gave the chauffeur the address and sent Adam off to buy his ring.
Adam was hesitant at first when he went into the jewellers to try and find a ring that would be suitable. When he said to the sales clerk that Rupert Ransome had sent him, they couldn't be more helpful.
`It's an engagement ring I want but it mustn't outshine the one that Mr Ransome bought.' The salesman knew what ring Rupert had bought and so showed him comparable ones.
`The ladies finger size sir?'
`I've not the slightest idea,' Adam had to admit.
`Would the lady by any chance be Lady Rhea?'
`How astute of you, yes.'
`Then it's no problem sir for we have her finger sizes on file. She's has bought a few from time to time.' He then went on to show which he thought would appeal to Rhea and when Adam picked out the one he had been guided to, blanched at the price but gave over his credit card knowing that it was the only engagement ring he was ever likely to buy. With the card accepted and the ring in its box, he went back in the car to Ransome Hall.
When he was back, he managed to find Lord Robert before lunch and requested a private talk with him. Miles Tremayne, the secretary was sent off on an errand to leave them alone.
`I have to apologise sir by behaving in a foolish manner and being a bit presumptuous. Last night I, without thought, blurted out my love for Rhea and proposed to her before asking your permission if I may do so. I do hope you'll forgive me and grant me this belated request that my suit would not be denied.'
Bravo! he heard Eve clap. Best bit of grovelling I've heard in a long time.
`My boy, I think I speak for my wife when I say that we are delighted you have done so. Let's keep it in the family, eh?'
That's what Rupert said he would say, Eve said.
Were you listening then as you are now?
Of course. Let's keep it in the family, and she chuckled.
`Thank you sir, and of course Lady Elspeth...'
Cut it there, Eve said. Don't go over the top. Least said, least mended. With that and listening to Eve's advice, he left and went to find where Eve was.
He found her in the gazebo with Rhea and they were both laughing together.
`Adam! Rhea has just told me that you proposed to her last night and that she has accepted. Do you know that even though you are my brother, you will also now become my brother-in-law?' and they both burst out laughing again, which meant that they would become sisters-in-law with the same twist between Rupert and Rhea. It was amusing but not an uncommon occurrence when two of one family marry two of another.
Lunch was a gay affair with everyone knowing the secret of what was going to happen at dinner that night, but went along with it and waited in agonising expectancy for Rupert to finally make the formal announcement. He kept the tension high right up until the dessert dishes had been cleared away before he finally stood up and tapped his wine glass.
Sir, madam, ladies and gentlemen,' Miles was at the table too. I wish to announce formally that I asked for the hand of Eve Baker and for her to become my wife and am proud to say that she has accepted it.'
Everyone at the table clapped their hands and Eve had the decency to blush. `Therefore Eve, I would like to place this on your finger as a plight of my troth.'
Christ! What century is he in? Adam asked Eve.
Shut up, I'm enjoying this.
Rupert had pulled out a box from his pocket and took out the ring and moved over and placed it on her finger. They all clapped again as she smiled her thanks to them and accepted the kiss that he gave her. Rupert went and sat down and Lord Robert stood up with his glass in his hand.
`We are here tonight to really celebrate a birthday party that, due to tragic circumstances was postponed. Our condolences that we sent were heartfelt to both Adam and Eve. But, as they say, life must go on and so this party has been held. Now to prove that old saying, we are doubly delighted to hear from Rupert his wish to marry Eve and that she has accepted him. My congratulations to you both and wish the pair of you a long and happy life and if you wish to make me happier than I am now, go forth and multiply.' He raised his glass and all laughed and stood up and drank their health. There was bubbling talk after this and Rhea caught Adam's eye and winked and he seemed to shrink in his chair as Rhea stood up and tapped on her glass.
Not wanting to upstage Rupert in his wonderful choice of wife, I waited,' and she gave a hiccup and a grin, 'scues me, before standing. Adam too has an announcement to make,' and she sat down and flashed him a wicked grin as the others at the table looked at him.
Oh that was nice putting you on the spot like that, Eve chuckled. Don't let the family down now. Adam reluctantly got to his feet and looked about at those at the table.
`Er, I don't know really where to begin. I suppose it was the day I walked into the boardroom of Ransome Insurance. I saw, or thought I saw, that I was about to lose my sister who has always been my closest companion since I don't know when to Rupert. But then we came here and I met Rhea and saw in her what I think Rupert saw in Eve. My feelings for her were reciprocated and so, so last night, knowing that Eve had accepted Rupert, I asked last night if Rhea would accept me and become my wife. To my delight and I hope not later to her regret, she accepted.' There was clapping at the table.
Therefore, as Rupert did,' he moved round the table and produced the box from his pocket the ring he had bought that morning, I place this ring on your finger Rhea and hope that you will cherish it as I do you,' and he put the ring on her finger. This brought forth more clapping as he blushed after giving her a kiss, went and sat back down.
Do we have any more children at the table dear?' Lord Robert asked of Lady Elspeth as he stood up again. For if there is and they are getting engaged, I'm going to be going up and down like a yo-yo.' To this everybody laughed. `Thankfully there isn't, but I'm a proud father to do so once again to wish Adam and Rhea, a happy and fruitful marriage.' Again all the others stood up to toast the two who nodded their thanks to those standing.
There was much hubbub of talk when all were seated again as the two women showed off their engagement rings, Eve pleased that Adam hadn't tried to outshine Rupert in his purchase of the ring for Rhea.
`Have you given any thought to the date for the wedding Rupert?' Lady Elspeth asked, which brought all other conversation at the table to a halt for she seldom spoke and therefore when she did, everybody stopped to listen.
Well,' and he gave a self conscious laugh, not to make a parody of it but with my future wife's Christian name, I was thinking of Christmas Eve mother.'
Capital!' cried Lord Robert, ignoring the look he got from his wife as he clapped his hands. So be it! We'll have the wedding here on that date.'
`My dear,' Lady Elspeth began, but she was stopped from voicing her opinion by his Lordship patting her hand and bidding her to remain silent.
`That's settled then. Now Adam, Rhea? Have you set a date yet?'
Er...er no sir,' Adam stuttered. I only proposed last night. A date hasn't even been thought of yet.'
`One month after Rupert's,' Rhea spoke up, her eyes flashing round the table.
Two,' said Rupert, speaking up. Unless you would rather that Eve and I not be present? For I intend for us to honeymoon for at least a month.' Eve reached across the table and put her hand over that of Rhea's who had this sudden calmness flood through her and acquiesced to what Rupert had suggested. The actual date in February was left in abeyance for later discussion and the party then went on to the pleasure of them all.
`Why did I give in so easily to Rupert over the date of our marriage?' Rhea asked Adam as they lay in bed that night.
`Because you saw the sense of what he was saying,' Adam soothed her and she soon lost all thoughts of what had been said under the skilful hands of Adam upon her body.
Eve lay in bed waiting, for she knew he would come to claim his future wife and didn't have to wait long before the door opened and he slipped quietly into her bedroom.
`Surely you will not deny me now,' he said as he got into her bed.
`I will and continue to do so while you wear this ridiculous and outdated night attire. If I'm to have your body, I wish to feel it too,' she replied. He couldn't get his pyjamas off quick enough to lay his bare flesh up against hers.
`This is decadent,' he said as he felt the heat from her body up against his.
`This is life in the modern times,' she replied as she took him into her arms and kissed him. He was like a boy in his thinking of lovemaking and it took some pushing to get his hand down to finger her, to get her worked up to be ready and wet enough to take him into her body. Even then, he came as soon as his cock touched her vagina and he cried out in frustration of his coming so soon.
You were too eager,' she said soothingly as she cradled him at his premature ejaculation. I've made you wait too long. Let's wait for a little while and you'll find it easier then.'
You're right,' he sobbed, I'm sorry I wasn't quite the man I led you to believe.'
You will be,' she said as she pushed a nipple into his mouth to suck on, you will be in time.' He did eventually penetrate her and gave a good account of himself but as she lay under him as he rode her, she wished it was Adam and vowed that if she was going to have a child, it would be Adam's and not Rupert's.
Michael did his exams and when the results were published, found that he had one B, a course that he hadn't gone into with Adam and Eve. Two A minus and one straight A and he was highly delighted in what he had achieved and couldn't wait to phone them to thank them for their help in his achieving his required levels.
He was then over the moon when he saw that Adam had come to the graduation day to see him receive his diploma, for he had nobody else there. Adam bought him a celebratory dinner and then they went to Adam's room in the hotel he had booked into for the night and had a glorious night of sex to round off his perfect day. He sealed his fate that night by becoming Adam's slave and faithful adjutant.
Michael went off to an obscure relative's place while Adam went home to Eve. Even though he loved having Michael fuck him and doing the same in return, he still loved going into the warm embrace of his twin sister, to fuck her and have her in her own way, fuck him. Time was getting short for them for they knew that once she was married to Rupert, their couplings would be severely limited. For the rest of the year they savagely attacked each other to have as much sex as they could possibly achieve with one memorable night.
It had been a normal night to begin with as they lay in bed, already having had a session and were resting for Adam to regain his strength, kissing and stroking each other. She raised him up again with her mouth and expertise and it was decided by both that they have it this time in the doggie position.
She went up onto her knees and he slid into the warmth of her body and was fucking her when he pulled back too far and slipped out. He pushed back and found her tight as she gave out a cry and found that he'd lifted himself too high and had entered her back passage. His cock had been lubricated enough with her juices for it to slip in with her being unprepared. But he was in and continued his thrusting in and out as she cried out.
`Adam! You've gone up into my arse!'
`Too late,' he grunted as he held her hips tight as he began to come, holding her tight to his thighs as he pumped his semen up into her backside.
You beast!' she cried as he lay across her back, his cock still up inside the wrong aperture. You're in the wrong place!'
Sorry darling,' he said panting, loving where it was at that moment. Many's a slip twixt cup and lip,' he quoted.
`It's not funny,' she said, her body quivering, not daring to move as she was still on her knees with him inside the wrong place. She didn't want to move for she didn't know if it would cause damage to herself if she was too precipitate in moving.
`What you are experiencing is what I love,' he simply said as he pulled out. She gasped as she was widened again as she never had been before in that area.
`That hurt,' she said as he got off the bed to go and wash himself.
It always does the first time,' he called out from the bathroom as he washed himself for the mistake he had made. It hurt me the first time Paul fucked me,' he said when he came back into the bedroom. I'm sorry darling,' he said as he got back onto the bed and cuddled her, it was an accident. Please forgive me,' he said as he kissed her.
`You like having it that way?' she asked as she lay in his arms.
`What other way is there apart from the mouth? But to answer you the answer is yes. It's the nearest way I can be to being a woman is for a man to fuck me in that place.'
`Do you really think you are a woman though you are a man?'
`Yes. If it wasn't for me having a penis, yes, I would be one. I love the hardness of a male cock and you don't know how many times I wished that I was you.'
`But you're going to marry Rhea?'
`Such is my fate, though I would rather marry Rupert.'
`Don't you dare try it on with him,' she said.
`No, I won't for I've still got Michael to fall back on.'
`Literally or figuratively?'
`Both I hope,' he grinned.
`Well I didn't think much of it,' she said.
`Horses for courses.'
Though she had said to Adam that she hadn't liked it, it hadn't been as bad as she thought it might have been, but she preferred it the female way as for her, it was more erotic.
Time flew by for them and before they knew it, Lucille was dragging Eve round to have fittings for a wedding dress. It was then a flurry of women's things to find and fit out the selected bridesmaids whilst Adam was fitted out in his clothes.
At Ransome Hall where it had been decided between both sets of parents that though Eve was the bride, it would only be fitting for the future Lord of Ransome Hall to be married there.
It was almost financially crippling for Peter and Lucille to fund the cost of the wedding but Lord Robert helped by taking on some of the costs as it was being held at the Hall.
Two days before the event, all the principles were ensconced at the Hall, the absentees being Martha and Mavis, the latter having been declared not fit to travel but sent her congratulations as did Martha who was looking after her.
The wedding itself was to be held in the Hall's own chapel which the Baker's had been unaware that the Hall had such a place. The reception was to be inside the Hall for close friends. Of course Rupert's were on the predominate side. The night before was one of the most violent sexual battles that Adam and Eve had ever had. He surpassed himself by coming five times to her seven orgasms, even taking her once more anally.
They didn't sleep at all in their sexually frenzy of the fucking and sucking of each other, knowing that this would be almost the last time they could couple without having to do it in secret.
For almost the first time, Eve had to use make-up to conceal the tiredness in her face as she was dressed and prepared for her nuptials. Rupert had many choices for his best man but he chose Adam to stand up beside him and it really pained Adam to be in this position to stand there and watch his beloved sister, his lover, the one and only love of his life, give herself in marriage to another man.
She looked absolutely beautiful as she had came down the aisle on the arm of Peter, proud in his role, escorting his daughter down the aisle of the small chapel to the strains of the Wedding March. Adam's gut went up into all kinds of twists when she finally said I do to the question from the priest.
He put a brave face on it as he passed over the ring to Rupert to put on her finger and to then hear the words that declared them man and wife.
Oh my darling Eve, he cried in his mind. A mind full of anguish. Don't ever forget me and the love we have for each other.
That I can never do Adam. I might be married to Rupert but my heart stays with you, she said.
The vicar pronounced them man and wife and gave permission for the groom to kiss the bride. He did and it was like a kick in the bollocks for Adam. It was Eve's crowning moment and so he put a brave face on it and smiled as Lucille cried and even Lady Elspeth was seen to wipe her eyes.
They swept up the aisle and out of the chapel for the photographs to be taken of them first and then with various other people being added until everybody was in the final shot.
It was more of a wedding brunch when everybody was in and being fed in the big dining room of the Hall. Adam, being the best man had the onerous task of getting everybody's attention to read out some of the telegrams which he did with some aplomb but was glad when he was finally allowed to sit down.
It was a Christmas Eve that many people would remember for years, Adam managing to get a joke into his speech about the two Eve's coming together and that Father Christmas had better have a big present for the bride in his sack. This made many laugh with the older woman asking what did he mean, not getting the play on words.
In spite of the cold, the whole affair went down very well and soon the bride and groom were allowed to leave the guests to enjoy the rest of the wedding feast while they changed. Though normally they would then be seen off in a car or carriage to begin their honeymoon, this was different for the next day would be Christmas and Rupert found out that Eve could come twice at Christmas. That, though he never found out was because she was having verbal sex at the same time with Adam as she coupled with her husband.
Mind you, Rhea came three times that night.
Michael drank on his own in his bedsit and contemplated suicide but finished up too drunk to do anything whilst Paul had found a willing male student to stay over at the university for the Christmas period.
