gentleman's manor

It seemed that I suddenly returned to the entanglement of my boyhood. I sat on the horseback and stared blankly at the window on the second floor.

The cold wind blew through the clothes, and the moonlight sprinkled coldly on the ground.I got off my horse and walked to the gate, raising my hand to knock on the door, but hesitated before I touched it.

I'm so stupid, just quarreling with Edward, and knocking on the door at night, disturbing people's sleep, how rude.Shaking my head, I turned and walked back, planning to come back tomorrow.

As soon as he took the rein of the horse, before walking a few steps, the gate opened with a 'squeak', and Edward came out with a lamp.He walked up to me a few steps, grabbed my arm, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here, and you have to leave again."

He looked at me with bright eyes and a gentle expression, very different from the stern face at the ball.Without any explanation, he pulled me into the house, and we tiptoed up to the second floor.

As soon as he entered the room, he hugged me, pushed me down on the bed, and kissed me excitedly.

I saw that he was neatly dressed, so I asked him, "Did you not sleep?"

"No, I was waiting for the dawn. I planned to go to your house early in the morning, but I didn't expect you to come to me first." His voice was soft, as if there was a hint of happiness and grievance: "I heard the sound of horseshoes, I saw you coming, but why didn't you knock on the door and leave."

"It's too late, it will alarm the servants, I'll leave later." I said.

"How can you ride out in such a cold night? You're freezing all over." He pulled the quilt over us, and pressed his warm cheeks against mine.I heard him babbled and said: "At the dance today, I wanted to make you jealous. I wanted you to only look at me, but I didn't expect to be jealous first. It's too immature for me to get angry with you. Are you angry?"

I just felt that I missed him so much, so I rushed to see him impulsively. When I saw him, I forgot all the hesitation and entanglement.I kissed him, then bent down and unbuttoned my tie and button...

His breathing was a little unsteady, and his lower body became hard for a moment, then he kissed me without hesitation, started to pull his clothes, and soon we rolled together naked.

I hugged him tightly and opened my body to him. When we were together, I couldn't control my emotions and whispered in his ear: "You won't leave me, will you?"

He was stunned, stopped, looked at me from above, and then he put his body on me, put his arms around me very hard, and whispered: "I've made you sad, I'm sorry, forgive me .”

I didn't answer him, I just wrapped him around harder and kissed him.

When I awoke, it was broad daylight.Edward lay on top of me, he was dazed, rubbing against my body lightly, his head buried in my neck, like a small animal.

I wiped my face in annoyance. I must have gone crazy last night. I ran to him in the middle of the night and did this kind of thing to him.I woke Edward up and sat on the edge of the bed to get dressed.He got out of the bed, hugged me from behind with his warm and naked body, kissed my neck and said: "You are so cold, you won't be warm with me for a while."

I turned to look at him, and the morning sun was shining on his beautiful blond hair and pale blue eyes.I laughed, stood up and said, "Get up, let's be careful, I'm going to sneak out."

"Adam, I will never try to make you jealous again, I love you." He looked up at me and said.

"I also try not to make you jealous." I said with a smile.

We tidied up, and then quietly opened the door, Edward said to me: "Don't be nervous, it's better to be generous, most people don't think about that, just say that I have something urgent to call me last night, and then I will arrange for you to sleep in the guest room gone."

Sure enough, the early servants were very surprised to see me.After breakfast, Edward sent me to the door pretendingly: "I will try my best to help you with what you said, please be patient and wait for my news."

But later, I heard that the doorman of his house blamed himself very much, because he fell asleep in the middle of the night, but he didn't hear the knock on the door, and asked the master who slept late to open the door himself.

When I got home, everyone in the family was asleep.Only the servants got up and didn't say much when they saw me coming back from the outside in the early morning. After all, I was the master and I didn't need to explain anything to them.

In the afternoon, Anna will take Martha out.

"Mr. Burns invited me to the church he presided over. I mentioned to him the monastery in our town. He was very interested and wanted to know what we had done, saying that he wanted to emulate." Anna said happily.

"Oh." I stood in front of her, looked at this silly girl hesitantly, and finally decided not to clarify what I said, lest she had no idea at first, but she would have an idea when she said it.I stared at her and said, "Mr. Burns is just being polite to you, please don't point fingers, you know? My dear girl."

When Anna heard this, she immediately opened her eyes wide, nodded and said, "So that's the case. Mr. Burns is kind and treats me kindly. He is really a nice man."

"Yes, he is my friend, that is, your elder. You must respect him, and don't appear intimacy just because our two families are close." I educated with my hands behind my back.

Then I told Martha: "Be careful with Miss, don't allow her to be alone at any time, and then go home early."

After sending Anna away, I sighed deeply, how could this matter develop like this?

In any case, it never occurred to me that Mike would show interest in Anna.Mike and I have known each other since we were 12 years old and were classmates and friends through college.

As a friend, he has nothing to criticize.He is loyal, broad-minded, good at observing words and expressions, but never timid, getting along with him makes people feel relaxed and happy, and he is a person worthy of association.

But... when I think that he led me to visit a brothel for the first time... I can't get rid of an awkward feeling.

Do you have a woman you like?Dear brother, this is really great, just go and harm women from other families, and stay away from my house.

For several days in a row, Anna happily went to a nearby church, and when she got home, she kept talking about Mr. Burns.I think I'm getting wrinkled because of worry, but I'm a man, even if I'm her brother, it's not appropriate to talk about this kind of topic with a young lady face to face. is wrong.

I complained to Edward, "What do you think Mike is doing? He's coveting my sister!"

"Haha!" Edward expressed dissatisfaction with my attitude, and retorted: "Mike is a gentleman, he wants to pursue Miss Anna, what's so strange about it? How can you use covetousness, what does Mike make you dissatisfied? Or Do you think he is not good enough for Miss Anna?"

"No, no, Mike is fine, I mean as my friend, if he's in trouble, I'd give him a hand. But... Anna..." I shook my head, "No...they're not suitable... ...It's not that the status is inappropriate, but in terms of status and property, Anna is not worthy of him at all, I mean...I hope that Anna can live a simple and stable life."

"You think Mike can't bring Miss Anna a stable life?" Edward asked.

"You know what I mean." I paced in front of him. "We all know Mike, what was he like when he was a teenager, don't you forget? If my future sister-in-law is in and out of brothels all day, God , I don’t have to wait for Anna to be sad, I will come to fight him personally.”

"You would also say that was what he looked like when he was ten years old. Have you seen any troubles when he grew up?" Edward shook his head and said, "You are too spoiled and careful with Miss Anna, even if she doesn't choose Mike, how can you confirm that her future husband is not a playboy?"

"But Mike..."

Edward interrupted me and said, "Adam, your life circle is too simple. You don't know those of us who came out of the aristocratic circle. Mike's ancestors were French nobles. What can he learn from his father and brother who is surrounded by women of all colors? You can't be so harsh on him, should he be beaten to death with a stick because he was young and flirtatious? Then he is too wronged. Won't you give it to him?"

"I know he's a nice guy, but..."

"Adam, my dear, we have been together for so long and have made out many times. You still don't let me lift the quilt when you are making love. You are too reserved. Remember the scene I showed you? Two male whores? You ran faster than a rabbit, and your experience with this is like a blank slate. I guess you don't know what we all witnessed when we were children."

When I heard him complain about our sex, I blushed and asked him in a low voice: "You...do you think I'm too conservative? Am I boring..."

Edward burst out laughing, put his arms around me and said, "If I say you're boring, will you change your style? Next time we lift the quilt and do it in front of the mirror, will you?"

My face turned red in an instant, and I stammered, "But...but...it's too cold, we'll catch a cold..."

"It's okay, I'm very patient, we can wait for spring to come." He said hoarsely.

After a while, I suddenly realized that I had strayed from the topic. I raised my head and said to Edward, "I'm still opposed to this matter. Anna has just entered the social world, and we have plenty of time to pick and choose. Can you do me a favor? Help me meet Mike, every time I go to look for him recently, he is not there every time, I suspect he is hiding from me."

Edward raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, your request is my highest will, but... is it necessary?"

I froze for a moment, then frowned and said, "Wait, what you said sounds weird...have you talked to Mike about this? Have you met him?"

Edward said with an innocent look on my face, "Dear Adam, don't look at me like that."

"Your Excellency, you'd better confess now."

Edward saw that I was angry, and hurriedly said: "Well, I met Mike. You know some gambling clubs, gentlemen like to gather there to drink and talk about political affairs. We are all members, and you have been to it too, right?" ?"

"Yes." I nodded and said, in fact, I don't like going to those high-end gambling clubs. I heard that there are many masters in there, who can make people lose their fortune overnight.Although Edward was a frequent visitor, he seldom gambled with others. He often said that playing cards was a trick and it was not interesting.

"Do you know why he avoided me?" I asked.

Edward smiled: "Just like you know him, he also knows you. We are old acquaintances. Why, are you going to block him?"

I thought for a while and said, "Since he's avoiding me, it's not easy for me to block him. There will be another dance in two days, and I don't believe he can avoid me at the dance."

But the worry that lasted for many days disappeared in an instant on the day of the dance.

Mr. Laurent appeared at the ball that night, and he invited Anna to dance with a simple and honest smile.Seeing this scene, my heart fluttered in my stomach.I used to think that this gentleman was not good at words and had a dull personality.Now I look at him like a rich man with land, a decent job, average looks, no affairs, and a crush on Anna.Edward is right, I do appreciate men who are as down-to-earth as me.
