Thread: A Victorian Tale... Innocence Corrupted (Silvamoon and ThomasWaller)

It had been so long since shed been to Danby Pond, but Josie remembered it as if it was yesterday. She too had been thinking about the past fun she and David did have in this place, and the young woman was ecstatic that they had been reunited. It didnt take more than a moment for them to spot each other upon her arrival, and in a rather unladylike manner she hitched up the hem of her skirt and hurried toward him. There was no hesitation as they embraced, indeed it felt as if they had been together always in the way that their bodies molded together. Josie couldnt remember ever feeling this way about a man before, and that might be due to the feelings that she had long harbored for her childhood friend. Davie She murmured, her blue eyes taking in every feature of his handsome face. Her lips parted briefly, and then they mutually met in a kiss. As a sheltered country lady she had no practice in this art, but quickly she learned the rhythm and melted into his arms. Josie couldnt tell how long they stood and kissed, their lips exploring each others. Her hands had involuntarily reached up to rest on his shoulders, but slowly they began to slide down and explore the strong muscles of Davids back. Eventually they did pull away, her pink lips now swollen from their actions and painted a deeper rose color. She was breathing deeply as they regarded each other, her ample chest rising and falling against the bodice of her plain dress. Hearing his apologies made her shake her head, her body drawing closer to his so that her head could rest on his shoulder. Dont fret about it Davie, that is in the past. We were children and could not control our destiniesbut at least we have found each other again. Josie smiled up at him, the worried look in his eyes driving her to distract him with kisses. It felt as natural as breathing to be with him the townspeople would be shocked to see quiet and polite Josephine Barlowe in such an embrace. When they began to walk along the pond she grasped his hand in her own, simply enjoying his company. Josie hadnt given a thought to the fact that she might be followed, trusting that her father had been duped by her story of venturing into town. Since her mother abhorred having to mingle with common people she did not fear that the woman would go looking for her either, but a strange feeling occasionally tickled the back of her neck. Covertly the young woman gazed around the calm and wooded area, wondering perhaps if someone else had found their secret place in the time since they had left it. Seeing no one around, she shrugged the feeling off as fanciful thinking and turned her full attention back to her secret love. There was no doubt in mind that this is the man she was going to marry, and she only had to convince their respective families. Darling, are you quite sure this is what you what? That I am what you want? She couldnt look at him as she spoke, wanting to share the truth with him. My parentsare not the most polished or cultured, and I know we have no title. Are you sure your mother would approve of this match? The upper society of London might not understand this union. Josie felt in her heart what the answer would be, but she still wanted to hear the reassurance.
