Billionaire Flawed 1(201)

His breathing began to get faster and shallower, but his excitement was interrupted by a loud bang on the door, and another one. He got out and shouted down the stairs. Who the devil is it?

After a few seconds, one of the girls shouted up the stairs, It's a man called Mr. Jones. He says he wants to speak to Victoria.

Tell him to go away, Pickford shouted back.

That's not a good idea, he's got a large threatening man with him.

Pickford went back downstairs closely followed by Victoria. Mr. Jones, she exclaimed. What on earth....?

It has taken me a very long time to find you, he shouted. Victoria remembered his voice and how loud he had been in Haslemere. I went to the mill first, and they were very reluctant to tell me where you were, he looked at a chair and sat down to catch his breath. He was wearing the same red breeches he had a few days ago. It was only after Mr. Jesop intervened that they were forthcoming.

Ah yes, Mr. Jespon, hello, Victoria said.

Hello, Miss, he smiled.

What's all this about. She's one of my employees, and she should be working, so say what you have got to say and go, Pickford stated.

Victoria, Jones began. There has been a development in you favor. I am here to hand you the deeds to the Landsborough Estate.

Victoria didn't say anything she just stood there with her mouth wide open.

Don't you want it? Jones asked with a kind smile on his face. “It's yours again if you want it.

Of course, I want it, she squealed. Oh Mr. Jones how can this be happening?

You should ask the Duke, Miss. He instructed me last week to make the estate over to you, with no conditions whatsoever. Mr. Jepson here gave me a lift here in his coach, and if you so wish, he is willing to take you and your belongings with us back to your rightful home.

Goodbye, Mr. Pickford, you will be hearing from me in the future, I can assure you. Just count yourself lucky you didn't lay a hand on me today.







Landsborough Hall was in a state of some disrepair. It wasn't uninhabitable, but it had a leaking roof and damp walls. Victoria had no idea what she should do about it, just as she had no idea how to run the estate. When she arrived, she found she had two servants. One of them was Rosie.

What on earth are you dong here, she asked.

The Duke asked me to look after you. I am a ladies maid, and there is no lady at the Hall, so I am better employed with you. If you are agreeable.

Of course, I'm delighted. In fact, a bit overwhelmed.

The Duke asked me to tell you that his advice is to hand over the running of the estate to a firm called Stephensons Land Agents in Haslemere. They will do the day to day running for you, leaving you free to make the big decisions and enjoy your new life.

Splendid,” Victoria said. But why can't the Duke come and tell me that himself?

Oh Miss, the Duke is ashamed to come and see you. That's what he told me. Rosie shifted from one foot to the other.

He thinks he wronged you when he didn't just give you the estate in the first place. And if you ask me, Miss, he's love sick. He does nothing but mope around; it is very sad to see. Rosie took a deep breath happy that she'd unburdened herself.







When Roberts answered the door, he was delighted to see Victoria. His boss had been intolerable since she had left the house so suddenly a few days ago. Miss Victoria, oh how lovely to see you, please follow me.

Edward was in the library, staring into space. When Roberts announced Victoria, he jumped off his seat and almost ran to her. At the last second breeding took over and he gently shook her hand.

My Lord, thank you for the great act of generosity you have shown to me. You have made me happier than you know, she said.

I'm very pleased. I'm sorry about the first time I.........

She stepped towards him and put her finger to his lips. Shh, it's alright, I understand. Any man who is able to see the error of his ways and change direction without being too proud to do so is a brave man indeed.

He looked down at his feet and contemplated an answer. He was afraid to ask for what he really wanted, but Victoria was not.

Will my Lord please kiss me?







I left Rosie at home, Victoria said as Edward walked with her up to his bedroom. We are both adults and no one need know what is about to take place. Need they?

No quite, he answered. Once we are married it won't matter, will it? She shook her head.

In the bedroom, Edward was suddenly very unsure of himself. Victoria had been around enough earthy women to have picked up a few tips, and she took the initiative.

Get out of your clothes, she commanded. He did so eagerly. When he pulled his trousers and underwear down, she gasped at the size of him. It was the first time she had seen a penis and in his, she was impressed. When she touched it, she remembered what Mary and the girls had always said men enjoyed. When Edward felt her hot mouth on him, he moaned and pulled her hair. He felt long and smooth, and it turned her on.
