Chloe realized her situation was ambiguous. Although she was raised and educated in the Duke's household, nobody publicly acknowledged her parenthood. Without that, a noble marriage was impossible. The people of Tiramasu generally, and correctly, assumed that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Duke himself. But nobody knew about her mother. Chloe knew that her mother was the Duke's favorite love slave, Gilda. She did not know that Gilda was a former Tiramasu noblewoman whom the Duke had captured when he captured the city. Chloe was warned never to discuss her mother's identity. As the daughter of a slave and a free person, she could have been raised as free or slave. Her father, at the urging of the Duchess, had chosen to raise her as free. Nevertheless, Chloe had enough exposure to the harem to wonder if being a slave might be preferable. At least slaves get to be with men. As a young gentlewoman, Chloe was warned to abjure all close physical contact with men until she was married. But she yearned for the caress of a strong man. She chafed at the demands for feminine modesty. She certainly envied the freedom available to men. The Duchess had warned her that a woman could only obtain sexual satisfaction from her husband, but a man could be satisfied by any woman, willing or not. From her observations in the harem, she doubted that was true. To her, marriage could not come soon enough. Because of her ambiguity, Chloe felt that marriage would be the key to a stable, respectable situation. Even though she was not of noble blood, several young men were vying for her hand, and body, because she was well educated, very pretty, and could command a large dowry. The oldest and handsomest was Lieutenant Risotto, an officer in the regiment attached to the city. The army was a tradition in the Duke's family. He was a former general, and the Duchess was the daughter of a general. Their oldest son, Richard, was attending the military academy at Pesto, and the younger son would follow eventually. But Lieutenant Risotto himself had a relatively modest background. He hoped that by marrying Chloe, the Duke would assist his career. However, for him military advancement would probably mean leaving Tiramasu for the colonies, something Chloe was reluctant to do. By far the wealthiest of her suitors was Senior Vitello, a wine merchant from the city. He wanted Chloe because he expected the Duke to offer a large dowry. She was charmed by his rich cloths and spices, but she felt there should be something more to a man than his material things. The Duchess was supporting the suit of a third man, who was the closest to a noble rank. He was Carlos Vermicelli, the step son of Sir Reginald Vermicelli. Vermicelli was a colonel in the Duke's army when it captured Tiramasu. He married Lady Pamela, a Tiramasu lady whose first husband was killed in the war. Vermicelli adopted her young children, including Carlos. Reginald and Pamela has a daughter, but they did not provide a son before he died. That left Carlos as the principal male heir to the estate. Pamela successfully ran the estate after Reginald's death and supported Carlos's claim, since it was her ancestral land anyway. Since Pamela and Chloe's mother were both descended from the Tiramasu nobility, Chloe and Carlos were actually distant cousins, although neither one of them knew that. Chloe spent time with each of the men, letting each one believe that she had selected him. She knew how to flirt and flaunt her body without committing herself to anything. Eventually, she thought that Carlos would be the best at satisfying her. She knew that he occasionally used a brothel in the city. A few pieces of silver revealed that the women there thought highly of him. The fact that the Duchess would offer Carlos a large dowry determined the deal. She accepted his suit. Chloe and Carlos visited his estate, to talk to his mother. Since they were engaged, they were allowed to spend time together unchaperoned. Carlos gave her a tour of the villa. Finally, he came to his bedroom. "Darling, this is the bed where we will consummate our marriage," he said. Chloe sat on it. He sat next to her. She put her arms around him, holding him close. She lay back, pulling him down. He kissed her face and lips. They held each other, and fondled each other through their clothes. "I wish we were married already so I could hold your body," she whispered. "So do I. Soon." he replied. He respected her enough to avoid trying to seduce her before the marriage, but Chloe wished he didn't. The wedding was not elaborate. Only the Duke and his family, and Carlos's family attended. Chloe's mother watched from behind a curtain. She recognized Lady Pamela, but did not say any thing. However, with the Duke's permission, she sent a confidential note to Lady Pamela congratulating her for her son marrying the Duke's daughter. Carlos and Chloe returned to his villa. Chloe did not even have a personal hand maiden. She arranged her things herself. When it came time for bed, she dressed herself in a silk night dress that had been a gift from the Duchess. She joined Carlos in the bedroom. "I have been dreaming of this night ever since I met you," Chloe said softly. "I also. You are the prettiest girl in Tiramasu." "Do you think so?" With that, she pulled up her dress, letting her husband see her body. "Yes. You are by far the prettiest girl. And you are my wife." They embraced passionately. They kissed each other on the lips. She said, "Darling, pull off your night clothes. You have to take your virgin wife." They stood there naked, embracing each other. Chloe hoped the stirring between his legs meant that she would enjoy being his wife. "Let us get into the bed, Chloe," he said. When they lay next to each other, they resumed kissing on the lips. He leaned down to kiss her oval breasts, setting them tingling. When he put a finger on her slit, she thought her body explode. "I want you now," he said, urgently. "Take me now. Make me your wife." He placed his prick at her entrance. He pushed in. Her tight pussy initially resisted, but eventually succumbed. She closed her eyes, feeling the rapturous experience. It was the greatest sensation she ever experienced. However, it was really just the beginning. He moved inside her, making her burn with greater desire. She loved what he was doing to her body. Gradually his movements became more erratic. He wanted to pleasure her, but ended pleasuring himself. "I can't hold myself back any longer," he grunted. "Darling, do what you need to do. I am here for you." she whispered. She felt her body get drenched in his love juice. That was enough to send her on her own path to ecstasy. She was not a virgin any more. "Oh Aphrodite, this feels so wonderful," she sighed. He relaxed on top of her, but stayed inside. He occasionally wiggled his prick. "Do you want me to pull out of you?" he asked. "No. Stay with me. You feel so good." He wiggled some more, letting his prick resume its tension. She pulled him tighter, and then put her legs on his hips. She pulled at him with her legs and pushed up with her pelvis. They spontaneously found themselves in a rhythm. He started pounding into her and she pounded back. Soon, she was squealing as her tension mounted. The tension released in spasms of pleasure, which rocked her whole body. He continued to pound her, until another tension and another release snapped out of her. This happened twice more until he prick had had enough, and his abdomen pushed another rush of cum into her pussy. Only then did he relax and lay next to his pretty wife. They had both such intense orgasms that their bodies were tingling. Only holding each other tight enabled them to recover. She said quietly, "You are wonderful, even better than I expected. That was the best experience of my life. Thank you." He replied, "I cannot believe it either. You are welcome. May this be the start of a wonderful marriage." Carlos was right. It was the beginning. Over the next several months they had sex several times a week. Carlos taught Chloe several positions which made the encounters more pleasurable. Chloe was very happy that she had selected such a virile and passionate husband. And Chloe was relieved that her status derived from her marriage. None of the other proprietors cared who her parents were. They just admired Carlos's pretty new wife. Several of the squires were envious of Carlos, and wished they could spend more time with Chloe themselves. They admired her even more when the Duke and Duchess paid a social call. Their passionate sex life simmered down when Chloe began to feel ill in the mornings. When she asked Lady Pamela about it, she soon realized that she was pregnant. At first, Chloe and Carlos tried to continue as before. But her morning sickness reduced her receptiveness. Things were fine when she stopped feeling sick, but as her belly grew larger, both she and Carlos were uncomfortable with rigorous sex. Chloe began to waddle around the villa, finding it difficult to walk or lie down. One day she heard some noises from the pantry. She found a maid facing the counter, with her dress up over her back, and Carlos behind her pumping her pussy. They were so engrossed in their encounter, they did not notice Chloe. Only when they stopped grunting and cumming did they realize someone was watching them. Carlos pulled out just in time to spend her cum all over her back. "What are you doing?" Chloe demanded. "I did not want to get this wench pregnant," Carlos replied. "Is one pregnancy enough?" "Well your body was otherwise occupied, and I have needs." "My body is making the heir of this estate. I understand your needs, but what about mine?" "Your need is to protect your child." "You can take your pleasure with this wench now, but after I deliver this child, I expect you back in my bed." However, that was slow to happen. First, her vagina was sore and she was very weak for several weeks after the delivery. Second, Carlos was upset by the milk that oozed from her tits. Carlos felt inhibited that he could not touch her body as freely as before. Carlos moved into another bedroom so Chloe could dedicate herself to her son. Chloe tried to reach out to Carlos, but he found an easier time with the villa cooks and dairy maids than with her. Even when Chloe decided to hire a wet nurse so she could stop nursing herself, she found it hard to arouse him. Hearing him ram some young wench made increased her frustration. She decided that if he could get pleasure from the villa servants, so could she. One day, she approached her coachman. She said, "I think the master has been taking some pleasure with your wife." He replied, "I know that. I don't like it, but what can I do? We need these positions. He is the owner, here." "I am the owner, too." She walked up to him. She reached down between his legs. She said softly, "I have needs, too, and so do you." She pushed him against the wall, fondling his penis inside his trousers. "What do you want with me, ma'am?" he asked. "You know what I want. Lie on that bed." She pulled his trousers down, exposing his penis. "That is very nice. As nice as the master." she cooed, admiring his member. She was getting excited just thinking about it. She pulled her dress up, and kneeled over him. "Use it on me," she ordered. She lowered herself on his manhood. She sighed softly as her pussy surrounded it. She used her hips to raise and lower herself on him. Coachman was on automatic. He just let her pleasure herself on him. She said, "This feels great. I am going to take you. Just tell me when you are going to cum." She pinched her tits as she rode him. He put his hands on her back underneath her dress to fondle her ass. Her breathing came faster as she rode him up the hill of passion. She was at the peak when he started grunting. "Mistress, I am going to cum." She climbed off him and seized his prick with both hands. She pulled at him until he released a rush of cum all over her dress. When finished, she fell back on the bed, with her dress still above her hips. He leaned over to touch her hot pussy. His touch sent her up again. He scooted down, until his face was between her legs. "What a pretty pussy you have, mistress." He kissed it, causing her to hiss. He kissed it again, making her moan. "Do you want me to kiss and lick your pussy, mistress? "Oh yes. Do me. Make me feel good." He proceeded to lick her, until she was almost screaming with pleasure. She bucked her hips, almost crushing his head between her legs. She continued with wild orgasms for several seconds until she yelled, "That's enough!" He pulled his face away, and climbed up to her. "You were wonderful, Johan. If only I could get my husband to do that again." "I am here anytime you want me, ma'am, for as long as the master wants my wife." Chloe visited the coachman, and several other servants over the next several months. She was always careful to have them withdraw before they came, so she would not get pregnant again. But she made sure that Carlos never found out. In the spring, Chloe and Carlos were invited to the annual ball at the villa for Lord and Lady Gallo Nero. The previous year, Chloe was pregnant with their son, but this year she felt more free. The primary duty of a wife is to bear a male heir to the estate. Because she had done that, Chloe was free to do what ever she liked. The ball included feasts and dancing. Because of the distance to from villa Vermicelli to villa Gallo Nero, Chloe and Carlos had to spend two nights. When they arrived at the villa of Gallo Nero, Johan asked Chloe, "Will you be needing me at all while we are here, ma'am?" "No, Johan. I will be fine. You may search your pleasure elsewhere." "Yes, ma'am." They arrived around dinner time. Around the table, the men gathered to discuss animals, land, crops, and politics. The women gathered to talk about their children and gossip about who was having sex with whom. Several boasted about the fine service from their footmen or coachmen. Some of the men were flirting with some of the women, not their wives. All of the men were attracted to Chloe. She loved being the center of attention. Chloe asked one of the women, "What about Lord Gallo Nero?" "Oh, my dear, we never talk about our husbands. That would not be discrete." "Of course, not. How silly of me," Chloe replied. That night, Lady Gallo Nero showed Chloe and Carlos to one of the nicest guest bedroom on the estate. The next day was spent hunting and riding around the estate. That evening was filled with fine dining and dancing. Lady Gallo hired an orchestra from the Duke's estate. The musicians recognized Chloe, and bowed to her. During the dancing, Lady Gallo Nero focused on Carlos. She held his hand, moved her hips, and made suggestive jokes. She was fifteen years older than Carlos, but she thought he was a strong, virile man. Actually, she was instructed by her husband to flirt with Carlos so he could flirt with Chloe. The other men who were also attracted to Chloe decided to let him have a chance, since he was the richest planter in the area and the ball was at his villa. Chloe also was attracted to Lord Gallo Nero. He was almost twenty years older than she, but he exuded masculine confidence and maturity. She wondered if he might be better in bed than one of her servants. As some of the guests were leaving for various bedrooms, with their or other spouses, Lord Gallo Nero grabbed Chloe by the hand. "Come with me," he said. He took a candle and lead her through a labyrinth of corridors and stairs. Suddenly, he opened a door, pushed her into a large bedroom, and locked the door behind them. He lit a few candles in the room and stoked the fire. He said, "Madame Vermicelli, you are the prettiest woman in the entire valley. I simply must have you." "You flatter me, my lord." He embraced her passionately. She responded to his passion, kissing him on the lips. He fumbled with the buttons on her dress. "Please call me Chloe. Allow me," she whispered, undoing the buttons. She let the dress fall to the floor. He picked her up and carried her to the bed. He lay across her, kissing her face and fondling her breasts through her petticoat. She moaned quietly, trying to absorb the pleasure. He took his time, kissing her tits through the petticoat. "Chloe, you are even more beautiful than I imagined." "You may have your way with me. But please be careful." "Do not worry about anything." He moved a hand under the petticoat, lifting it to her waist. He placed a hand on her slit, making her moan louder. He inserted one finger, then two, then three in her moist pussy. Each digit increased her pleasure more. Then he leaned over to kiss her clitoris. The sensation was heavenly. He took his time, letting her pleasure build, until she was convulsing with electric shocks of pleasure. As he sat up, she reached up to kiss him. She turned him over, until she was on top of him. He let her undo his breeches. She extracted his penis, rubbing it to get it hard. "Kiss it, Chloe," he instructed. "I have never done that to a man." "Well, I did it to you. You should do it to me." "I will try." "Yes. Make it feel special." She kissed it softly. Seeing that he liked that, she kissed it some more. Soon, he was moaning with pleasure, just as she had been. As he started breathing hard, she removed her mouth. "Why did you stop?" he asked. "I don't want you to cum in my mouth." "I won't. Besides, you cannot get pregnant that way." She felt reassured, and resumed her oral ministrations. But soon he turned on her. He said, "You are right, we should not finish this way." He got on top of her and jammed his large prick into her eager hole. He urged, "Put your legs on my shoulders. I want complete access to your beautiful body." She did, using her legs to pull on him. He thrust into her systematically. Soon, she was on the verge of another orgasm. "Bless Aphrodite, this is divine," she sighed. Her moans increased until they became incoherent squeaks. He pounded her, grunting loader. Suddenly, he pulled out. "I am cumming now," he said, between grunts, letting his semen gush onto her legs. He held his prick tightly, until he and poured himself onto her body. He lay down next to her as they held each other close. He got up to use the chamber pot. He then took a damp cloth to wipe them both down. They lay next to each other for an hour. Suddenly, Lord Gallo Nero arose and got dressed. He offered Chloe her clothes. He declared, "You have to go back to your husband now. It would not do for him to awake and find that you are not there." A few hours earlier, Lady Gallo Nero spent the evening laughing and dancing with Carlos. After a signal from her husband, she said, "Carlos, I want to show you something." She lead him to the room he was supposed to share with Chloe for the night. "Where is Chloe?" he asked. "Chloe will be down later. I want to show you something else." "What?" "This." She unbuttoned her dress and let it fall on the floor. She sat on the bed in her petticoat. "Take me!" she urged. "But what about Chloe? She might find us." "Don't worry about Chloe. She is fine. Worry about me." She crawled over to him on her knees. She pushed against his breeches, undoing his belt. When she pulled his breeches down, she was able to assess his prick. "Better than I expected. I need you to use it on me." she said. "How?" "Any way you want to. You don't need to be careful. I am well past the age where I might have a child." Carlos was relieved to have a woman he could finish inside. He looked at Lady Gallo Nero. Her breasts sagged slightly, but she was once almost as pretty as Chloe. She certainly knew how to use her tongue on him. Neither Chloe nor any of his servants came even close in oral skills. Within minutes, she had him bigger and harder than a stick of wood. He gripped her head, holding it over him. Her lips had him at the peak of lust. He pulled back. "Stand up and turn around." he ordered. She immediately complied, hoping he had something in mind. He pushed her against the bed. He lifted her petticoat above her waist. He moved his hands around her pussy, massaging it from behind. He declared, "I'm going to take you from behind, and I'm not going to be gentle about it." "You don't have to be gentle with me, senior. I like it any way." He roughly jammed his prick home. She emitted a sharp squeak as he entered her. He followed that with a series of pounding thrusts, which had her squeaks turn into a breathless series of squeals. "Do me! Do me! Do me as hard as you can." she demanded, breathlessly. He reached around to pull her tits, using them as levers to guide her motion. He pinched and squeezed them. He slapped her ass. She was lost in series on orgasms. She had no consciousness of where she was or whom she was with. All she was aware of was the pleasure saturating her body. As Carlos and Lady Gallo Nero banged at each other, they made more noise than a pair of randy cats. Other guests whispered to each other as they walked to their rooms, with their own spouse or somebody else's. Carlos was happy he was pleasuring Lady Gallo Nero, but the time had come to please himself. He moved into her more rapidly than ever, until his body became a blur. He grunted as he pushed himself over the edge, into orgasmic ecstasy. With each burst, he urged himself on, saying , "More, more." Each surge brought additional pleasure. He thought he was done, but he was able to generate a few more spasms, until he was finally empty. He pulled out of her, letting her fall face down on the bed. He pulled off her petticoat, and pushed her naked body onto the bed. He removed all his close, and joined her, holding her close. "That was absolutely fantastic, sir." she whispered. "I know, but what makes you sure I'm finished yet?" He moved his body against her. He kissed her pendulant breasts, making her sigh softly. "Do you like that?" he asked. "Yes, you can do that all night." He touched her pussy, still wet from his cum. She sighed some more. "Do you like that?" "You can do that all night, too." "Then we are not finished." "But what about you?" "Feel my tool." Sure enough, his prick expanded rapidly in her hand, until it was almost as big as before. He moved on top of her. "Open your legs. I want you the old fashioned way." She complied, and he entered her wet slit. As he thrust inside, he changed rhythms, to vary his pace. She bent her knees to allow her greater leverage. Soon she was returning to the heights of orgasmic bliss. She started roaring. "Yes! Make me cum! Arrh!" she screamed. He was in no hurry. He took is time. But she was in a hurry. She pushed up with her pelvis, increasing her pressure. She climbed the orgasmic mountain again, more slowly than before, but higher. She panted through her release. He mashed her tits as he banged into her. At first he wanted to stay with her, but her passion left him no reason to delay any longer. His prick expanded until it filled every crevice of her womb. Just when he felt it could not get any bigger, it exploded. Cum flew out. His pleasure was more intense but less prolonged than before. "I'm cumming. Take it!" he grunted. "Yes, fill me up." she grunted in reply, pushing up against him. After they were finished, he pulled out and held her tight. For several minutes she held him too. But she heard the villa clock and realized what she had to do. She kissed him, climbed out of bed, put on her petticoat and dress, and was gone. She did not even have time to fasten the dress properly. A few minutes after Lady Gallo Nero left, Lord Gallo Nero escorted Chloe back to her room. She found her husband sound asleep. She removed her outer garments, got into the bed, and fell asleep herself. The next morning Carlos and Chloe dressed and joined the other guests for breakfast. Several guests whispered to Chloe that her husband was a very loud sleeper. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Well, as we walked past your room, we heard two people making love like lions." Chloe blushed. "Yes, we can get quite passionate, sometimes." Madame Pollenta whispered, "You must come and visit us, sometime. Sir Pollenta and I would love to have the benefit of your experience." It did not take Chloe long to realize that Lord and Lady Gallo Nero had seduced her and Carlos for their own pleasure. On the way back to their own villa, Carlos and Chloe made the maid ride on top with the coachman so they could talk. "Do you think we should accept the invitation of Sir Pollenta and his wife?" Carlos asked. "Why? So Sir Pollenta could have sex with me while you bang his wife?" "His wife is not even pretty." "Neither is Sir Pollenta. But they suspect we did something with Lord and Lady Gallo Nero." "Did you have sex with Lord Gallo Nero?" "Yes, but he was a gentleman about it. He pulled out because he did not want to make me pregnant. Did you have sex with Lady Gallo Nero?" "Yes, but I did not have to be a gentleman. She said she as too old." "What a relief for you." "I don't like the idea of you have sex with other men." "Lord Gallo Nero is the riches proprietor in the valley." "My mother comes from one of the oldest houses in Tiramasu. We have almost as much land as he does." "Thanks to the dowry from my step-mother the Duchess. We owe fealty to my father the Duke, not Lord Gallo Nero. " "I still don't like you have sex with other men, especially a man like Lord Gallo Nero." "But you think it is all right for you to have sex with other women?" "Yes. A man has certain rights." "Well as the daughter of the Duke, I have certain rights, too. If you don't want me to have sex with other men, you have the power to stop it. " "How?" "All I want is the same attention you give to Lady Gallo Nero. You have the power right there. " She rubbed his crotch, gently. "But you might get pregnant, and you would give attention to the baby." "You can't be a gentleman with your own wife?" "You want me to avoid getting you pregnant?" "Yes. We are young. We can have another baby if we want. I can even go to the priestess of Aphrodite to get a magic stone which make it hard for me to conceive. But right now, all I want is you. If you satisfy me properly, I'll never look at another man." "The priestesses of Aphrodite are just whores." "Nonsense. Whores are slaves. The priestesses are free gentlewomen who are forsworn marriage in order to serve mankind." The priestess served a variety of spiritual, therapeutic, and sexual functions, all to honor the goddess of sex and family. Chloe might have become a priestess herself if he had not married Carlos. However, she was a bit disturbed when she realized that many of the priestesses sought sexual relief from each other. For such women, marriage was not appropriate. Throughout this conversation, Chloe was gently fondling Carlos's crotch. She smiled as she realized that his bulge was enlarging under hand. She found the buttons fastening his breeches. She extracted his prick. "This belongs to me, " she said. She pulled up her skirts and climbed onto his lap. "And this belongs to you." She eased herself down is expanding penis. Carlos loved what she did to him. He closed his eyes to wallow in the pleasure. The carriage bounced along the road, giving them an extra jolt. Soon, Chloe was cooing with the pleasure surging through her loins. Suddenly, Carlos cried out, "Get off. I am going to cum." Chloe fell onto the seat, and grabbed his prick. She resolved to use her mouth on her husband, just as she tried to do with Lord Gallo Nero. She enjoyed sucking out fountains of cum. She even leaned over to kiss it, savoring its sweet taste. He said, "You never used your mouth on me before." She replied, "There are many things I've never done before. If you dedicate your prick to me, I will do what ever you want me to do. I'll even have another baby." Carlos and Chloe reduced their encounters with others. He occasionally would find solace in his maids if Chloe was pregnant or nursing, and Chloe would even seek out a footman if Carlos was away, but they definitely preferred each other. They did not regard sex with a servant as cheating, since they controlled the servants anyway. Neither had another encounter with Lord or Lady Gallo Nero. Because of his land and wealth, Carlos was finally honored as Sir Carlos. Chloe eventually had a total of five children, three of whom survived until adulthood.
