Page 71 of Their Brazen Countess
Linc cleared his throat. “I love you, Arthur, and you, Jo, and our boy Matthew. I promise to make all of you laugh and to ensure all of Jo’s curiosity is slaked to the best of my ability. Whatever is mine is yours, including my heart.”
“Then I pronounce you all bound for eternity.” Stone grinned. “You may all kiss.”
Arthur pushed Jo into Linc’s arms first. The man kissed her as though they had no audience, her toes curling as he bent her backwards a bit. When he released her, Arthur was there to take over. He kissed her just as thoroughly, his tongue tangling with hers in an erotic kiss full of promise. Then he set her back from him and reached for Linc. Before everyone, he hauled the man in for an equally long kiss. Jo swore she would melt into a puddle just watching them. Behind her, a few of the women sighed softly as everyone watched.
Then Arthur released Linc and looked at their friends and family gathered there. “I believe breakfast is in order!”
Everyone pushed forward to congratulate the three of them as they made their way into the dining room, where a lavish breakfast awaited them. Jo tamped down her excitement as she staved off thoughts of the night to come, and tried to eat. She would need her strength.
Chapter Thirty-Three
Arthurlookedaroundthedining room, pleased to see everyone enjoying themselves. The day had been everything he’d hoped for, with the exception of the one interruption. He still wanted to curse himself for a fool over having been so wrapped up about Lord Downs that they’d completely forgotten about her father who, while no real threat to Jo’s physical safety, was absolutely a threat to her happiness.
He looked over at Linc, on the other side of Jo, and saw a look of relief and need etched on the man’s face. Not unlike himself, he suspected Linc was glad to have Jo safely wed and was now done with the social part of the event.
Arthur stood. “Thank you all for attending our wedding. Linc, Jo, and I appreciate your love and support. But I believe that the three of us are ready to retire. I hope you all feel free to stay until Stone decides to toss you out on your arses.”
Everyone laughed as Linc and Jo rose.
“Be careful you two, I hear brides can be testy on their wedding nights!” Cooper called out as they departed.
“Really, Cooper, has your bride ever ceased being testy?” Wolf could be heard ribbing their friend.
The laughter around the room continued as the three of them escaped. With Matthew safely ensconced in Stonemere’s nursery for the night with his and Theo’s children, they could focus on the night ahead.
A short while later, they walked into Arthur’s home—well, their home now—and were greeted warmly by Harris.
“Good evening my lords, my lady. Congratulations to the three of you.” The man bowed as he took their coats.
“Thank you, Harris.” Arthur offered a relaxed smile now they were away from all the pressure of the wedding. “We are headed upstairs, likely for the rest of the day. We’ll ring down when we are ready for food.”
“Very good, my lord.”
Arthur gave Jo a little nudge toward the stairs before she could start asking after Harris’ family members. He didn’t want to wait. Linc followed her up the stairs and he trailed behind.
In their bedchamber, Arthur walked in and found Linc was already kissing Jo. The two were meshed together, his legs lost in her skirts. Easing up behind her, Arthur unfastened the laces of her bodice as he pressed hot kisses down her neck. Linc reached up and helped him ease the top down her arms, even as they continued to kiss. Next Arthur untied her skirts, loosening her outer skirt and then the multiple layers of petticoats before releasing the mass of fabric to the floor. Linc released her lips and turned her to face Arthur, who sucked in a breath at the love shining in her beautiful green eyes as she looked up at him. Then he leaned in and captured her lips with his own.
Jo sighed softly as their tongues twined sinuously around each other. The feel of her in his arms paired with the taste of her and Linc on his lips had Arthur’s cock growing harder by the minute. When he felt her corset loosen and drop between them, he hesitated a moment as Linc pulled her chemise off over her head.
He resumed their kiss as a low moan of pleasure ripped from her. He felt Linc’s hands slip between his chest and her breasts, caressing them. Arthur continued to explore her mouth, relishing the heat and welcome he found there. As his hands found the soft skin of her stomach and hips, he enjoyed the silky feel of her under his fingertips. He deepened the kiss and pressed her back into Linc’s chest, loving the way she had nowhere to escape him. Then her hands were pushing his coat off his shoulders, forcing him to drop his hands from her waist as she wrested control from him.
Lifting his mouth from hers, he glanced at Linc. “Strip.”
Linc grinned. “Thought you’d never ask.”
“That wasn’t a request,” Arthur growled as he tore at the cravat wrapped around his neck.
Jo eagerly helped him, pulling the flap of his trousers open and pushing them down his legs. Then she spun around and finished helping Linc before she removed her own pantaloons. Arthur noted that she left her stockings in place, just as he preferred.
Dropping to his knees, he began pressing kisses to her stomach. Linc eased up along her side, his cock hardening as he leaned over and sucked one nipple into his mouth. Arthur reached over and grabbed Linc’s length, stroking it firmly, Linc groaning low as his hips pumped into Arthur’s fist. Meanwhile, Arthur was dragging his tongue along the wetness he found between Jo’s thighs.
“Good God, that is incredibly arousing,” Jo whimpered as she threaded her fingers into his hair, pulling him closer to her pussy.
Unable to respond since his tongue was buried in her cunny, he simply swirled his tongue over her clit and stroked Linc’s cock.
Reaching down, Arthur lifted one of her legs and eased it over his shoulder so he could have better access to all her silky pussy. Her sweetness flooded his mouth with each drag of his tongue as he let go of Linc’s cock and feasted—feasted on their wife. Then Linc was there, pressing his cock into her soaked and dripping entrance from behind her as Arthur continued to lick and lap at her clit. Balanced between them, Jo shuddered as they worked her together. One of her hands gripped his hair and her other wrapped around Linc’s neck.
All too soon Jo was moaning, “I’m coming!” She groaned, a long and low inarticulate sound of ultimate pleasure. Arthur continued to lick that sensitive bundle of nerves as Linc worked his cock in and out of her tight channel. “Yes! Don’t stop.”
