MEMOIRS OF LADY MONTROSE

Virginnia De Parte

Christopher Mortlock—gardener extraordinaire. Everything you’d want from your gardener—and more, much more. Hedges trimmed and cravings tended with expert care and consideration.

Lady Helen attends a Brighton establishment to be sexually satisfied by their staff. Her husband Henry pays for this arrangement and together they relive the experiences.

This idyllic scheme falls apart when Christopher Mortlock recognises Lady Helen in London and endeavours to blackmail her. He is unaware of Lord Henry’s involvement and Mortlock’s blackmail plot is turned around to the benefit of all three of them.

Mortlock agrees to a new proposal to satisfy Lady Helen’s sexual needs and is inventive and athletic in his labours as their gardener and employee—until the day he introduces her to ‘fairy dust’. Lord Henry’s wrath descends to save Lady Helen from addiction and punish Mortlock for his audacity.

Chapter One

“Good evening, Mrs Brown,” someone murmured behind her. 

Helen’s stomach lurched. Her heart leapt and pounded at speed. Fear fizzed down her spine and twisted in her throat. Only a small group of people knew her as Mrs Brown and those people would not mix with, or be known to the present company. The cream of London’s society eddied around her, dressed to impress for their night at the Albert Hall—the interval afforded an opportunity to be seen and husbands attended with no interest in the musical recitals of Mozart and Chopin, let alone Beethoven’s Pastoral pieces.

She turned around, her gaze searching the moving crowd. Three men walked away through the theatre patrons, one younger than the others. From the rear, he looked well built, with wide shoulders, dressed in formal attire and walking with a slight swagger. The voice she’d heard had sounded young. Could it be him? Even if she could see his face she wouldn’t recognise him. When in the persona of ‘Mrs Brown’, she always requested a blindfold. If she had enjoyed his company, she wouldn’t know.

“Helen.” Charlotte touched her arm to attract her attention and she turned back to concentrate on the moment and get her nerves under control.

“Sorry, Lottie, sorry.”

“Lady Helen, may I introduce the Honourable Stuart Whitmore, Member of Parliament for Minderhurst.” Charlotte indicated the gentleman who’d arrived while her gaze had been fixed elsewhere. “Mr Stuart Whitmore, may I introduce you to Lady Helen Montrose.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t talk at the moment. Excuse me.” She inclined her head towards the fawning Member of Parliament and gave Charlotte a quick smile. “I must go, Charlotte. I’m worried about Henry. He was a little poorly when I left this evening.”

“But the programme is only halfway through.”

“I must go, Lottie. I’ve a feeling something is terribly wrong.”

“I’ll walk with you.”

They abandoned Mr Whitmore MP in the crowd. He would no doubt turn and inveigle his way into another group. More important things weighed on Helen’s mind than the ladder-climbing hopes of a back bencher. Lottie accompanied her through the throng that filled the foyer. The combined conversations hummed like a nest of wasps. They nodded politely to those who moved forward, hurrying past until they reached the entrance to wait for an available taxi.

“Helen, you’re quite pale. Are you ill?”

Charlotte had known her for many years but this was one secret Lady Helen could not share, even with her best friend. The nausea held its place, churning her insides and she couldn’t explain her pallor to Charlotte, no matter how desperate her need to spread the burden. Only to Henry could she talk. “Are you sure it isn’t you who is feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine, Charlotte, just tired. I’ll be happy to get home.”

The driver waited, holding the door open.

“Thank you for your company this evening.” Helen gave Charlotte a quick kiss on her soft powdered cheek then climbed into the back of the black taxicab. Her heartbeat had slowed since the man had called her Mrs Brown, but the lump in her throat still hurt. The sour taste of distress filled her mouth and her breath came in fast gasps as if she were panting. She leant back against the upholstery and inhaled several deep, slow breaths in an effort to calm her apprehension. Thank God Henry would still be awake when she got home. She needed his wise counsel, his old frail arms around her, his liver-spotted hands stroking her hair.

She pushed notes into the driver’s hand then opened the taxi’s door. Her relief to be home made her ignore the cabbie’s call about her change. In her haste to reach Henry’s side, she slammed their front door, the heavy oak connecting with a thud, then ran up the staircase to their bedroom.

Friends of Henry’s considered her a ‘decoration on Henry’s arm’ and said as much behind her back, not loud enough for Henry to hear, but sufficient for her to catch the phrase. Despite being thirty years her husband’s junior, theirs was a love match.

At first their age difference had meant nothing, but of late the effects of Henry’s age had torn a hole in their lovemaking. Henry’s kindness and his concern for her physical needs were the foundations for the state of panic now coursing through her. She threw her silk wrap over the chaise longue, kicked off her evening shoes and climbed into bed beside him.

“What is it?” He tossed his book aside, then reached and wrapped his arms around her to pull her close.

“A man called me ‘Mrs Brown’ this evening. Someone from Brighton has come to London and recognised me. It can only mean trouble, Henry.”

“Sshh. Quiet, darling. Let’s think this out.”

She rested her head on his chest and stretched beside him. He moved aside the bodice of her low cut dress to stroke her breasts with a smooth caress, his hands no longer as strong as they had once been. With a soft touch, he wrapped his hand under the giving mass, cupping it, circling her nipple with his fingertips in a feather-light dance.

“Did he say anything else?”

“No, I turned around but several men were walking away from me, one a younger man. He had a thick mop of hair and his stride held an arrogance not seen in our circles. It could have been him, but even if I’d seen his face I wouldn’t have known who he was, Henry. You know I always wear a blindfold…so I can pretend it’s you.”

“Sshh, darling. Don’t panic so.”

Lady Helen listened to the steady, slow beat of Henry’s heart knowing his thought process could not be rushed.

After a minute he said, “No doubt he’ll try to blackmail you.”

 She shuddered.

“As and when he contacts you, we can arrange a meeting and I’ll be nearby. I’m sure we’ll be able to come to an arrangement. After all, surely that’s why he spoke to you, to prepare his approach.”

“Oh God, Henry. I’m always so careful. It must’ve been pure chance that he’s mixing in the same company as we do.”

“Perhaps he’s moved his services to London. Brighton may have palled and he wants to move up the ladder. It’s not in his interest to broadcast his previous means of employment. Discretion is the only means he can survive by, if he wishes to continue in his line of work.”

Moments passed as Henry continued to stroke her breast and calm her pounding heart.

“Did you meet anyone else? Anyone interesting? Who else was there tonight?”

“Charlotte kept me company and that dreadful member of the lower house, Whitmore, snared us during interval. While my gaze was following the young man’s progress through the crowd, Whitmore came upon Charlotte, insisting that she make an introduction.”

“Forget him, sweet. I’ll have lunch with him next week and satisfy his desire to be elevated in Society. He can then namedrop for a week or so.” Henry withdrew his hand and dropped a quick kiss on her aroused nipple.

His desire shone in his faded blue eyes. “See if you can get a rise out of the old member tonight. I’ve been resting all day so we may be in luck.”

With that she buried her head to his crotch and took his flaccid penis in her mouth, cupping her hands around his warm sacs. She worked. He sighed with delight, but with little physical response and after a time they admitted defeat.

Helen slipped out of bed, changed into her silk nightgown, and returned to spoon her body into his, her mind going back over her last visit to Brighton.

Lying beside Henry, listening to his deepening breaths, she thought of her last visit, recalled the pleasures, her mind dredging deep. She pictured herself spread-eagled once more on the spacious bed, her blindfold on, refreshed and ready to be amused and satisfied.

Chapter Two

A few weeks previously

Her visit had begun as all trips to Brighton did, with Henry ordering a taxi for ‘our guest’. Dressed in her Brighton clothes, a navy trouser suit and a small blue hat with black veil, she pretended to have been a visitor to Lord and Lady Montrose’s residence. The taxi took her to Paddington Station. Her visits to Brighton always began on the staff’s day off and her most recent escapade had followed the usual routine. She’d caught the train to Brighton, sat among the hoi polloi, her head lowered, reading or facing the window, ignoring all other passengers. The likelihood of meeting any of their peers was negligible, however caution was her byword.
