Eloise Featherington: Bridgerton

16| Evolving

Benedict: "Hey lady!" He smirked at her.

A lady standing in the lonely portion of the palace at the first ball of the new season. Holding a glass of wine in her hands dresses in an elegant red dress her hair tucked in a bun. She was comparatively short but had a beautiful smile.

Surprised by sudden disturbance. She turned around to see the man causing disturbance. Recognising him she quickly turned around to go to a crowded place. He followed her quickly. In a way he was captivated and totally unaware of his doing.

She stood in the ball trying to find some company. He quickly stood in front of her.

Benedict: "May I have a dance my lady?" He asked in a charming way.

She looked around to check if somebody was yet aware of them. She quickly denied and walked away.

"Is not it bad manner to deny a dance for such a charming lady?"

She stopped for a moment. Then quickly started walking again.

Benedict quickly held her hand and dragged her to the dance arena. Despite her resistance she was now forced to dance with him. He quickly grabbed her waist and moved closer to her. She pushed her a bit to maintain the distance.

He was constantly staring at her adding a wink to it to tease her further.

"Please I want you to stay away. I do not want a scandal like last time." She pleaded while looking around.

Benedict: "Like when last time Lady Whistledown saw us and published it?" He teased her.

"Shushh!" She quickly put her hand on his mouth. She was scared. He quickly kissed her hand. She quickly removed her hand and looked around to see if anyone noticed it.

"I do not want this. Please Benedict I am married and I have kids I cant do this."

"You missed your husband and also denying the fact that you also want this." He looked straight in her eyes.

She quickly pushed his hand away. Quickly leaving the halls she left the ball and went back in her carriage after informing her husband about her departure. For a moment he stayed there looking at her leaving him behind. He could not keep himself away from her.

Lady Alice was married to Lord Rutherford and had two daughters with him. Lord Rutherford mostly stayed away on his travels. She was married now for seven years. She became acquainted with Benedict last year and fell prey to his charms.

She was done with changing and lying down on bed resisting thoughts of Benedict. She was constantly reminding herself how immoral it was and how she couldn't deny that she did not wanted him.Suddenly she heard someone knocking at the window that faced garden.

She quickly removed the curtains. It was none other than Benedict banging it hardly managing himself on the pipes. For a moment she thought her heart stopped beating. Quickly she opened the window as a result he fell inside and luckily for him exactly on top of Alice.

"Hey!" He smiled and put his head on her chest. He then closed his eyes and felt her presence for a moment and took pleasure out of it.

"What are you doing here?" She questioned. Quickly she moved him from her and stood up and locked the door.

"No lady whistledown here!" He winked.

"Leave. I beg you!" She begged.

She held her gown and covered herself as much as she could. Her hair untied lying on her neck and back He quickly stood up without losing a moment grabbing her from her waist and brushed his lips against her. Resisting him for a split of second she was swayed away yet again.
