Page 46 of My Blind Duke
She stifled her complaint and continued playing, barely able to contain herself much longer as he continued to lick and suck like a man starved. Staying quiet was the hardest challenge she had ever faced, with every sensation bleeding into her veins like torture, but somehow she still played, despite being overcome with pleasure.
She did not realize when her shaking hands dropped from the keys, one of them finding purchase on the bench while the other was lost in his thick, dark hair, fingers gripping tightly. She could hear the pleas spilling from her lips but she did not know what she was begging for.
It was uncertain as she pressed closer, chasing the warm, wet slide of his tongue in her most secret parts, chest heaving as her throat struggled to release her breaths amid sounds of pleasure.
“William, I… Please…”
He did not stop, insistent and bold in his ministrations, despite the cries that eventually spilled from her lips and her eventual release.
William just held himself there, mouthing at her until she pushed at him with a whine, before he eventually relented. He took his time adjusting her skirts, his touch lingering on her legs for a moment before he moved out from under the piano.
“You stopped playing,” he muttered, licking his lips as he took his place next to her on the bench. “I do not know about you, darling, but I think you still have much to learn.”
Chapter 15
“And I think it looks best pink!”
Prudence stared down at the bits of blue paper in her hands and sighed.
“Already learning how to be a bully at such a young age. I will not stand for this. Bring your guardian to me to answer some questions,” she demanded.
Melanie tilted her head to the side. “How do you plan to attend a disciplinary hearing as the accuser and the accused?”
Prudence paused for a moment and then conceded easily. “That is a fair point. I believe it is in my best interest to ignore all your transgressions.”
Melanie giggled, making Prudence smile.
“I am so glad we did this. I did not expect it would be so fun, to make paper crafts in the garden. But it is such a lovely day and I am so happy!”
“That is what I like to hear, poppet,” Prudence nodded proudly, satisfied with her work.
The duchess kept making plans for them to spend time outside, keen on ensuring that she kept Melanie from Clementina since the sight of the child always upset the woman. She had hoped that more outdoor activities would distract the little girl from the fact that Prudence’s piano skills were still nothing noticeable.
Especially after what happened during my last attempt to practice…
A rush of images filled her head, recalling how the duke had tasted her and was immediately obsessed with her. How deeply his tongue went, how heavy his hands were on her thighs and then her hips, holding her legs open and keeping her still, just like he wanted.
William had left her shortly afterward claiming that there was a task he had forgotten about, which needed his immediate attention. She had been unable to say anything, still fighting to catch her breath as her heartbeat rang in her ears.
Prudence had remained in the music room for an additional half-hour after he had left when she was certain her legs could work again.
“Prudence? Are you all right? You look rather flushed,” Melanie voiced in concern.
“Oh! I… um…”
“Are you ill?”
Prudence froze at the new voice that joined their little retreat. Melanie’s eyes widened at the sight of the newcomer, and it seemed as though the child could not help herself as she smiled and called out,
“Papa!”
William chuckled as he settled down next to his daughter, patting her head gently as he said, “Good afternoon. I heard that you were going to be here, and I thought it would be nice to join you.”
“It was! Please come and see us whenever you can,” Melanie requested earnestly, practically glowing beneath her father’s attention.
“I will do what I can,” William chuckled, before turning his gaze to Prudence. “Duchess.”
“Duke,” Prudence managed to reply, dropping her gaze down to her hands.
