Chapter 4
For a whole fortnight after the events recorded in the last chapter, Mr. Howard treated Miss Burke with every consideration and respect: the yacht sailed all down the Mediterranean, and out at the Straits of Gibraltar and afterwards it headed for the Azores.
No one could be a more delightful companion than Mr. Howard when he chose and Miss Burke, after ten days had obliterated all marks of the whip upon her white skin, began to look back upon that dreadful evening as a sort of bad dream. After they had left
Gibraltar three days behind them and were in Mid Ocean, the fourth day out settled in a pouring wet day.
"During breakfast," Mr. Howard remarked, "I am afraid Miss Burke it is going to rain all day, so we shall have to stay down in the cabin, but with you to amuse me I dare say I shall find the time pass pleasantly enough." With the disappearance of the breakfast he closed and locked the door, and seating himself on a low chair with no arms he said shortly:
"Come here!"
Miss Burke came docilely and stood beside him, she was dressed in very light muslin and looked very pretty and fresh.
"Come and sit astride on my legs," said he, "facing me."
"Oh Mr. Howard," she whispered, "you have been so nice to me for so long now, I do hope you are not going to take advantage of my helpless position any more, on the yacht with you, please don't make me do anything indelicate."
"Perhaps you have forgotten what happens to you when you disobey me," he continued, "if not you had better do what I order at once."
"Oh, I will be obedient," said the poor girl, getting dreadfully frightened.
"Now," said he, "as you begin to argue with me instead of instantly obeying me, you must do something to please me as a punishment, so be good enough to stand in front of me and lift up your petticoats that I may see whether you have drawers on that open in the middle or at the sides."
"Quick!"
With a gasp of fright and misery the girl tremblingly came and stood meekly before her master and gracefully stooping she drew up her skirts till her drawers came in view Mr. Howard observed. "I see they do not fasten up the sides, now keep up the skirts and come and sit astride of me."
The girl timidly obeyed and sat quietly down astride of his legs about half way up from his knees.
With one hand round the girl he drew her nearer while with the other be removed all obstacles between her straddled thighs and himself. He slipped himself a little lower on the chair and lay back intending to enjoy the young lady's contact in the most approved manner.
As soon as he was in full and proper possession of her he said: "Please, uncover your pretty front that I may satisfy the sense of sight as well as that of touch."
And he lay back comfortably on the low chair while the girl began with trembling fingers and with many scarlet flushes to undo her dress: "Take both arms out of the sleeves and undo your stays."
The girl knowing what might happen to her if she disobeyed him proceeded silently to do what she was told.
"Take your arms out of your chemise sleeves and pull everything down off your breasts, please," said Mr. Howard and as the girl gradually fulfilled his immodest orders, Mr. Howard buried in her felt his voluptuous sensations rising to a delicious pitch.
As he gazed at the lovely expanse of snow white bosom, he said: "Now, Miss Burke, you are slowly to rise and fall upon me till I tell you to stop; and please lean a little forward so that I may feel and stroke your plump firm bosoms."
The girl implicitly obeys and begins to work up and down upon him, she even feels a certain dawning of lasciviousness herself as she sits firmly down upon him and experiences the firm penetration between her legs, while he squeezes her large breasts with both his hands. Presently, he says: "Now sit quite still upon me and pinch me, you must learn quickly all the devices for increasing my pleasure or I shall have to whip you into docility."
Natural instinct stimulated by fear made the girl immediately fulfill even this, to her, Strang command.
Mr. Howard half closed his eyes and said quietly! "Go on doing that it is very pleasant." The girl obeyed.
One beautiful girl reduced to absolute obedience is all that an Emperor can get in the way of sexual delight, and I am to-day therefore as good as an Emperor, and with that he drew the lovely girl down onto him and kissed her again and again, while with quiet inductions of her loins and firm muscular pinchings of his emblem of manhood she tried her best to please him to the utmost, for she thought to herself that is she could satisfy his lusts thus it was much better than being whipped and flogged and tortured as she had been a fortnight before.
Mr. Howard fully understanding what made her so anxious to excite him, said to her: "You see my flogging you has served two purposes firstly it was delightful to inflict chastisement upon you and secondly the fear of more such whippings has made you anxious to have me in the most lascivious manner possible in the hopes that by rousing my passions in the way you are now doing you will escape the whip."
She answered with an extra firm pressure of her warm body onto him.
"Will, for once," he said, "I will let you off the whip, but I am afraid it will only make me more cruel next time!"
"Oh, no" she murmured, "if I am always good you will never want to beat me any more and she kissed him and glued her loins to his with a wriggling thrust."
Mr. Howard stroked the plump thighs spread widely apart across his own and passed his hands up over her large bottom and grasping the distended cheeks of it in each hand assisted her movements to and fro and up and down.
He then made her sit quite still upon him and then undulate again, and so alternately she excited him and delayed the crisis for quite three quarters of an hour, when at last he said: "Finish!" at which the girl oscillated and rolled about upon him till at last he lay listless and satisfied with her soft body clasped close in his arms.
