Chapter 171: Stag Party
This Chapter is R-18
After a party, two days before the wedding, Marcus looked over at Will. He could tell Will wasn't enjoying the party either.
Marcus hated these formal gatherings. Unlike his landing-owning brothers, he was Marcus Ballard. He was a noble in name only but was expected to maintain decorum and etiquette, which is why he always envied commoners. Commoners, we're free of the constraints of nobles. Commoners never had to pretend or put on airs to entertain guests.
Marcus teased and fought with Will as a way to connect. Marcus felt that the only thing he and Will had in common was the last name.
But he always loved his younger brother and wanted to dote on him. That's why Marcus wanted to get Will those wyvern cores so badly.
Now he had another opportunity, two days before the wedding. He could tell Will was drowning in pomp and circumstance. Something he knew his younger brother hated. That was one thing, he knew they had in common.
Marcus hatched a plan to free Will from these depressing parties.
Tonight, Helen planned a second noble ball in Will's hall. Nobles and rich merchants from the kingdom were invited.
Will had enjoyed the first ball, earlier in the week. Now the same ball four days later had lost its appeal.
As Will was debating whether or not fake sick. Marcus and Jason came barged into his room and hoisted Will onto their shoulders in merriment.
Will wasn't sure what was going on, but so far it was more enjoyable than the other parties, and soirees.
"Where are you taking me?" Will asked.
"We're kidnapping you for a night of fun on the town!" Jason said.
"At your expense!" Marcus laughed.
Will was shoved in a carriage with his brothers and Francis II, Elizabeth's brother.
The first stop was a tavern outside of Gadreel referred to as the Dwarven District.
Marcus slammed the door open, looked at the stunned Dwarfs, and yelled, "Barkeep your finest and most expensive beer and whiskey!"
The Dwarves looked as Marcus, Jason, Francis the II, Evan, Samuel, Bradley, Rupert, Miles, Kurosawa, and Will entered the tavern.
When the Dwarves saw Will they relaxed somewhat. They were used to stupid humans entering and shouting obscenities before running away or getting beat up.
The men found seats at the end of a long table. Unlike human taverns that square or round tables and chairs. Dwarven taverns were filled with long wooden tables and benches.
"Oi lads, what do you think you're doing here?" asked a suspicious-looking bartender in a thick Scottish accent.
"Celebrating my littbrotherr's Will's wedding. The next round is on Will!" Marcus laughed.
"Ol' I suppose it would be unfriendly to turn down such a request from our City Lord's brother," the barkeep said.
Soon free beers and whiskey were handed out. One round of free drinks became five. By the fifth round, the men were dancing jigs and hugging their Dwarvish friends.
"Alright, alright, settle down now," said Marcus to an already quiet tavern. Marcus was standing on a long table with a tankard of whiskey raised.
"To my brother…hic…may he have a nice wedding…hic…and a great night in bed!" Marcus hiccuped to a round of laughter and cheers.
After they left the tavern, they returned to the city stopping in front of the Silver Phoenix General Store. Miles opened the store and took out 11 bicycles.
"The last to the horse track is a rotten corpse," said Marcus hopping on his bicycle only to promptly fall to the ground.
Soon the 11 men raced drinking to the horse track. It was challenging to stay upright on a bicycle. Everyone was drunk except for Kurosawa and Miles, but they didn't let the other on, they were sober.
Kurosawa had been used to this sort of merriment at the Royal Academy. He was always invited to get drunk or smoke pipeweed. Yet he never got drunk, because he didn't want it to affect his scholarship.
Now, as the City Administrator and Planner, he worked hard to build up an image. He would hate to see his image tarnished.
Miles did not get drunk, because he didn't want to make an ass of himself in front of his boss.
As the men raced to the empty horse track, the city guard was called to intercept a group of disorderly men.
Imagine their surprise to arrive at the horse track, and see the City Lord and the City Administrator and Planner trying to break in. Well, technically it wasn't breaking in, since Miles had the key.
Instead of arresting them, they alert their commander. Bubba ordered his guards to stand guard as he went inside to investigate.
When Bubba went into the horse track, he saw the men raiding the bar.
He approached to ask what was going on, but before he could ask, Marcus threw him a tankard of beer and popped open a new keg of ale.
Soon Bubba was drunker than the rest. His words were slurred, but he was alert.
"I've always wanted to ride a horse?" Bubba said.
"Then ride one! Who wants to race?" Marcus said.
Bubba and Miles raised their hands. Miles had never ridden a horse and didn't want this opportunity to slip away.
"Miles open the stalls," Jason said happily.
Twenty beautiful thoroughbreds were sleeping in the stalls. When Miles opened the stalls, the horses were jolted awake.
Marcus and Jason helped put on the tack for Bubba and Miles.
The first onto the racecourse was Francis II, who took his horse on a leisurely jog around the track.
After a few minutes of warming up the horses. Miles sounded the starting gun. Jason, Marcus, Francis II, and Evan shot out front of the starting gate.
While Will, Kurosawa, Miles, and Bubba all took a leisurely stroll around the track. No one realized that Samuel had disappeared after coming to the horse track.
After two fast laps around the track, Francis II came in first, and Jason beat Marcus by a nose. Then men laughed enjoying the evening. The track employees took the horse back to their stalls. At first, Marcus wanted to ride the horses to the casino, but the Track Master, Miles, and Will refused.
Even worse, the bicycles had returned to the general store.
Thus, the men walked to their destination signing merrily in the streets. The walk to the casino was short. The horse track and casino were not far from one another.
Inside the casino, Marcus gambled recklessly on roulette and craps. He was a bad role model for Miles who followed in his every step. While Marcus seemed off-put by the opulence, he played steady games of blackjack. Only Will and Francis II played baccarat.
"Will, I'm glad you're marrying my baby sister. I'll be happy to call you brother. But, I ask you don't break Elizabeth's heart.
When I heard you failed to protect your house with an array, and my sister was meters from an assassin's blade, I was enraged.
But, I forgave you after Elizabeth wrote explaining the circumstances. I won't forgive you a second time," Francis II said winning the pot.
"I understand, and I'll do my best to protect Elizabeth," Will said.
"See to it you do," Francis said bidding another hand.
They continued to play until the clock tower struck the 1st bell.
"Alright gentlemen, now to wrap up the evening I have a treat. If you would please follow me back to the carriage, we'll head to our last destination of the evening," Marcus said.
It wasn't long before the carriage pulled up to the White Lotus.
The men filed into the establishment, and the waiting room filled with naked girls.
"I reserved the entire brothel!" Marcus said exclaimed in triumph.
"I didn't know that was possible?" Kurosawa said in shock.
"When you have the money Will does, almost anything is possible," Marcus laughed manically.
"How did you get ahold of my money?" Will asked.
"I didn't. I just promised them you'd pay for it. You have good credit, so they accepted my reservation. I also arranged for a present!" Marcus laughed, as a familiar-looking woman stepped out from behind the curtains in lingerie.
April looked esthetically pleasing, Will turned his head to Marcus to ask a question.
"Don't worry, you're still the only man she's slept with," Marcus comforted Will.
The men pounced on the women like hungry wolves. Before they were led to their separate bedrooms, the women brought the men to watch a performance.
A scantily clad woman sang on stage and acrobatically performed to a brass quartet. The music and, alcohol kept going until one by one the men walked away.
Will saw Bradley taking to the madam, Big Momma before he was escorted to a bedroom. Will saw Marcus and Cherry watching the music. Cherry waved at Will, while she swayed rhythmically on Marcus' lap.
It wasn't long before April brought Will to a room, they opened the door only to see a half-naked Bradley kissing another man. Both men had their shirts off and were heavily petting each other.
April quickly closed the door, but not before Bradley and Will locked eyes. Bradley looked horror-struck. Will could see the nervousness in his eyes, like a criminal who had gotten caught. Will wanted to tell him he didn't care, but April had already pulled into away.
April took Will downstairs and grabbed another key, this time to an empty bedroom.
Will and April fell onto the bed kissing. They removed their clothes and moved under the sheets.
Will's member throbbed against the mattress as he buried his face between her voluminous breast. He told himself that he had all of the time in the world and that there was no rush. He wanted to enjoy April and at the moment that meant taking his time.
Soon the tip of his cock was pressed against her drenched entrance just waiting for her approval.
"I think I want you more than I've ever wanted anything," April moaned wrapping her arms around Will.
"I'm here now," Will said gently pressing the tip of his thick cock against her slick opening as she accepted him.
April wrapped her feet around him as he took his time going deeper. He gradually delved into her soaked pussy until he reached the back and the gorgeous woman winced.
"Are you okay?" Will asked while letting her pussy adjust to him.
Her warm walls compressed on his thick cock like she was trying to milk it.
"Yes," April answered while running her hands down his back until she reached his waist. She gently pushed on him signaling him to pull out slightly. After a few inches, she pulled on him directing him deeper.
"Ahh," Will panted out as the walls of her pussy massaged his cock. He didn't know if he had a minute. His knees were trembling as he desperately tried to think of something other than the beautiful woman in front of him.
"This feels too good! Imagine if I regained my position in your household staff. We could do this all the time as we used to in the barony," April moaned.
"I know," Will said increasing his speed.
"Oh, goddess. I don't know how much of that I can take, you're the best Will!" April moaned.
"You're amazing too," Will said earnestly while kissing her cheek.
"Cum inside of me?" Will!
You want me to cum inside of you?" Will asked.
Yes, I want to have your children," April's voice trembled as Will thrust his cock into her.
Then April's legs wrapped tighter around his waist.
"Please, cum inside me," April yelled louder. Her arms gripping Will's back.
She let out a variety of moans, whimpers, and squeals.
Her arms and legs tightened around him and her body tensed up, to the point Will had trouble thrusting.
Her hands moved to his ass and pulled him like she was trying to lock him in place.
"I'm cumming," April squealed as she squeezed him with all of her strength. Her legs wrapped around him tighter than he thought possible as her hands gripped his bare ass.
"Argh!" Will groaned as he spasmed, however, he flexed his muscles breaking her grip, and soaked her stomach, instead of her insides.
Gaining his sense, he pulled away from April. Will looked at her quizzicallyWhathat was all that about wanting me to impregnate you?"
"This feels so nice! Come back to bed Will," April said playing with the fluids on her stomach.
"What do you mean to return to my staff? Elizabeth said you were shutting down the mansion in Yorkshire," Will asked.
"Please Will, let's just stay like this the rest of the day," April said inviting Will back into the bed.
"Damn it, answer my questions!" Will shouted.
"Elizabeth didn't like us sleeping together, so she sent me back to your parent's barony. But I left and moved here. Big Momma took me and gave me a job waiting tables. When you came in, I thought this was my one chance to return to your embrace," April said with a hint of sadness.
"Elizabeth moved you with speaking to me first?" Will asked in disbelief.
"Yes, she said I had too much power over you," April said pouting cutely, playing with Will's emotions.
"She said that?" Will asked curiously.
"Something like that, yeah," April said taking advantage of Will's inebriated state.
"I need to speak with Elizabeth, goodbye April," Will said angrily putting on his clothes.
"Wait-" April called out in desperation. Her web was not yet complete. Will was once again out of her grasp. But she would get her chance. She would improve her chances in this life. Soon she would be Will's baroness.
As soon as he opened the door he saw a nervous-looking Bradley.
"Will let me explain what you saw," Bradley said nervously.
"I saw nothing, Bradley. Who you love, is who you love. Now excuse me I have to rush home!" Will said.
"Will you're a bishop! Are you sure you're okay with what you saw?" Bradley said blocking Will's exit path.
"Bradley, I saw nothing. I'm okay with not seeing or saying anything! Now, I must speak to Elizabeth!" Will said pushing Bradley out of the way.
Will hoped his wait for the carriage returned to his manor. It was dark and, most of the people were asleep.
"Michael wake up Elizabeth! And bring her to my room," Will shouted angrily.
Michael woke up Sasha, who then woke up Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth saw Will's mangled attire and smelling of alcohol, she knew where Will had been during the party.
"Did you fire April, without telling me?" Will said to a stunned-looking Elizabeth.
"I did, I moved her back to your parent's barony at your mother's request," Elizabeth said.
"You had no right to do that! What's this nonsense about her having power over me?" Will asked.
"Wait? Where did you hear that? Did you see her?" Elizabeth's face turned from surprised to angry.
"Answer my question, why do you think she has power over me?" Will asked.
"Because you are questioning your bride about something your mistress said. It should be the reverse!
How dare you shouted at me about that manipulative whore! Do you even care about my feelings? I removed her because I didn't want to look at my husband's mistress every day! Is that what you want to hear!" Elizabeth shouted back.
In a matter of moments, James and Helen vont Ballard and Francis and Charlotte vont Whitby came downstairs.
"Why are you two shouting at one another this late at night? What's the problem?" James asked.
"Your son's mistress is the problem. He keeps putting his mistress above me," Elizabeth said bluntly.
"April, is she here?" Helen gasped.
"Who is April?" Francis asked.
"She's Will's mistress keep up," Charlotte said.
"Having a mistress is perfectly normal?" Duke Francis said.
"Your grace is right," James said.
"Oh he is, is he?" Helen asked pointedly.
"Yes, but only for older noblemen?" James said, for which, Helen looked at home even angry.
"I meant only for high noblemen," James said as Helen finally stopped glaring at him.
"Will's mistress is a maid in his employ?" Elizabeth said putting Will on the defensive.
"She may be a maid, but you had no right to move her without my permission," Will said.
"But you gave me permission in Yorkshire, isn't that right Micheal? You were there, were you not?" Elizabeth said trying Will.
"Yes Lady Elizabeth I was there, and you are correct," Micheal said.
"Fine, but why hide it? Why not just tell directly," Will asked.
"Because I knew you'd act like this!" Elizabeth said.
"Very well, then goodnight," Will said returning to his bedroom.
Soon everyone left the study except for Elizabeth and Sasha. Elizabeth began to cry. She didn't want to hurt Will's feelings moving April, but seeing the strong feelings he had for another woman broke Elizabeth's heart. She only loves him, why wasn't she alone enough for Wil?
"My lady don't cry. He doesn't love her, he doesn't have feelings for her. My mother always said a man's emotions are between his legs.
Trust me Lady Elizabeth, after your wedding night he won't think of that bloody whore anymore," Sasha said.
"Sasha what if I'm not as good as her in bed?" Elizabeth whispered embarrassedly.
"No worries my lady, he'll tell what he wants. My mom said all men behave the same anyhow," Sasha said.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Silver_1_Phoenix
Silver_1_Phoenix This was a difficult chapter to write, beacuse Will is a very measured character. But, I've tried to show his battle between the mental maturity of an elder, and a pubescent body and emotions of a teenager.
I wanted to paint Will as a strong character who progressively becomes stronger overtime, both mentally and physically. As a new writer, that turned out to me a more difficult task.
