Esther stays with the other girls

Slowly Esther sits back down on the settee. "Very well. I'll stay, but...it gives me no pleasure," she says stiffly.

{if BellingtonParty-Esther-Caught = True}"Really? Percy seemed to think it might be otherwise," Annalise whispers, and Esther blushes scarlet. {endif}Annalise just laughs and puts an arm affectionately around her shoulders. "Now tell me, Foxhavens," she says, "why are your elder sisters still unmarried? I would have expected that at least Anne would have found a match by now!"

"I - well, I - I don't know," Peggy says faintly. She's finding it hard to concentrate with the sounds of Dorothy gagging on Percy's member in the background. She keeps shifting her eyes around the room, looking at the ceiling, the mantel, the side tables...everywhere but at the young man in the center lustily fucking the bond girl's mouth.

"Anne is...slow to make her affections known, and private in general," Esther says stiffly. "She's a modest girl, and sometimes more easily passed over than she ought to be, in social situations."

"Really?" Annalise asks. "I'm surprised. She's not the bustiest of girls, but I think her rather pretty. Though of course, I think all you Foxhavens have gotten rather lucky in that respect." Peggy and Esther blush (though for different reasons).

"Right enough," Percy comments from the center of the room. "Come on, Dorothy, give my balls some attention. Actually, wait. Clasp your hands in front of you." The girl does so and he giggles. "Well now, that's charming. A rather literal rendition of worshiping my cock. Proceed!" His hardened member bounces off the poor girl's nose and forehead as she begins to suckle on his stones. Percy tilts his head back and lets out a groan.

"Does this really not bother you, Lise?" Esther hisses. Annalise smirks.

"You need to get into the world a little, Esther, beyond this closed-off little island. All over the world men use women to give themselves pleasure; the only thing that changes is the legal framework they build around it." Annalise shrugs with a little smile. "As a woman, your main goal has got to be to understand this system...so you can use it to avoid being taken advantage of yourself. Better to accept that this is happening than to turn a blind eye and then be blind-sided, I'd say." She looks at Peggy and Esther curiously. "And besides, it's not as though your family is so far removed from this kind of behavior - don't you keep a bond girl? Are you telling me you and your family don't use her for pleasure?"

"Never!" Esther snaps.

"Alice does," Peggy whispers.

Annalise laughs. "Ha! She always was a bit of a terror. Well, I suppose that sheds some light on things...if you're not used to seeing a bond girl used this way, it might be pretty shocking."

"What's shocking is how talentless the slut is," Percy complains. "No good at ball-suckling at all." He pulls back from Dorothy and slaps her face lightly. As the bond girl gasps, he shoves his rod back into her mouth, making her gag, and sighs. "Agh, she's not very used to this at all. If I'm going to relieve myself properly I need to be able to fuck her hard, and I have neither the energy nor the inclination to give her mouth a break. Peggy - be a dear and come hold her head, would you?"

Peggy freezes in her seat, eyes widening. Does he really want her to...hold Dorothy's head still...while he fucks her mouth? Her heart beats wildly - she wants to be polite, and a part of her likes Percy, but still, she's never done anything like this before...and if word of it got out...
