I would love to, but...

"Very tempting, but it would be quite dangerous. Lord Richard is my last ally, and sleeping with his wife would sever any and all ties I have left from him. Even if we keep it secret... there's a serious risk we might be discovered and it would put you in danger as much as me. Are you truly willing to risk falling down to my level sis?" You inquired, your voice filled with concern.

Erika just looks at you with respect and adoration in her eyes, yet her smiled conveys mischievousness.

"Oh believe me, no one knows the risks more than me..." she replies in a husky, alluring voice. "Fortunately, Aunt Beatrice kept me informed of events at home, including your escape, so I realized you would end up here eventually. I even planned ahead for our encounter by keeping my dear husband and any one else out of the loop."

"How did you manage that..?" You ask with a smile, always loving how devious your sister can be.

"I sent a message to a few of his regular lovers, bribing them to keep him extra busy whenever he visits them... their talents seem to have encouraged him to keep visiting them enough to stay the night. So he wont be back until tomorrow morning, or late afternoon if they want another round...." She says with a smile before adding, "Plenty of time to get started... and of course we could plan for additional nights for as long as you'll stay with us."

She stands over next to her bed, the first bed of the two. "So how about it?" She asks, her body and voice hiding nothing of her intentions while loosening her gown just enough to tease the imagination. "Will you take me...? Here on my marital bed, giving me the child I so desperately need... who will grow to be the next Lord or Lady of this estate.... to serve their king loyally and faithfully, as this family has and shall?"

Sensing your hesitation she smiles wickedly as she points out, "You know my Fathers decree was that no woman would share my bed... he never said anything about another man though did he?"
