{"product_id":"2940014278409","title":"The Governess: Early Days - Multiple Partner Erotica","description":"Sarah Brandford agreed to become The Earl of Barclay's mistress and governess, the mother of the children she would care fore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt first the situation was wonderful. The minute she told him she was pregnant things changed...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSAMPLE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs it turned out Lord Robert Earl of Barclay did not return to Balford Manor for several months after meeting Sarah Brandford. He sent word to his wife that he would be detained on business for some time and spent most of his days and nights in his bed with Sarah. Sarah sometimes wondered if Lady Elizabeth suspected what his business in London really was, but most of the time she simply basked in the intensity of his attentions. \u003cbr\u003eAfter the first several weeks of daily and nightly love making she was disappointed when her time of the month came as scheduled. She worried that she might not be able to fulfill the one duty that was most important to him. A small concern that it might not be his wife who was incapable of producing an heir after all but that there might be something wrong with him. In that case would the contract that would establish her security for life become null and void? Would she be a ruined woman with nothing to show for it? The idea terrified her.\u003cbr\u003e“Don’t worry,” Robert, Earl of Barclay comforted. “We may have started too late. And I am certainly not minding this activity.”\u003cbr\u003eShe wasn't certain that all the things the Earl liked to do to her were normal. She wondered if his wife allowed him to do some of the things he demanded of her. Sometimes the innocence of women worked to their disadvantage. She felt a victim on some levels, forced to do things that hurt or disgusted her because of her position as his paid mistress. She was not in a position to protest and as long as things didn't get more intrusive she supposed she would be all right.\u003cbr\u003eTrue to his promise to set her up with income producing property according to their signed contract. They spent time establishing a bank account in her name. They bought her a small investment property in the city, found and hired a manager named Ian Cranack, who would see to renting the property and depositing the funds into her account. \u003cbr\u003eSarah had good intuition when it came to people and she trusted herself in that respect. Where Robert worried her a bit and his butler repulsed her, she liked Ian Cranack. She felt comfortable with him and knew immediately that she could rely on him. Under other circumstances he might have made her a nice husband, but these weren't other circumstances. Part of her wished she had met him before meeting Robert and agreeing to his proposal to bear and raise his children for his barren wife. She saw Ian once a week during the time she and the Earl were in the city and her trust in him grew with each meeting. \u003cbr\u003eOne of the things she had learned from her father was always to let the people who work for her know that she was interested in what they were doing and that she was watching carefully. It wasn’t a difficult task. She was indeed interested in the management of her property and the growth of her income. She and Ian Cranack talked about real estate and the market for rental property for hours. She asked him to keep his eye out for additional property and to let her know when her account grew large enough to invest further. According to their agreement, she would receive a monthly stipend from the Earl, but did not expect to have many expenses. She was keen to invest it and keep investing it for the day she would need it. That day might not be immediate but there would come a time when their children would no longer need a governess and at that time she wanted to have a house to retire to and an income with which to support herself in her old age.\u003cbr\u003eFrom time to time her god father, George Patterson, joined her and Robert for dinner. He was the only person, beside Arnold Smithson the butler, who knew of the arrangement and therefore the only person who was a member of their intimate social circle. Their dinners were lively with conversation. Sarah had always been interested in politics and joined the conversation happily holding her own in the debates about Parliament. \u003cbr\u003eSarah sometimes fantasized about being Lady Barclay, entertaining in the London House, creating parties for their many friends, but she was realistic. Even if something dreadful befell Lady Elizabeth she would never become Lady Barclay. \u003cbr\u003eOver the months she began to dread the trip to Balford M","brand":"Joan Russell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073988018416,"sku":"2940014278409","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014278409_p0.jpg?v=1763604768","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014278409","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
