Rutherford continued to stare at his wife until she was willing to explain why she had to interrupt such a pleasant environment that was surrounding the happy couple.

Raylene gulped feeling cornered and then rubbed her arms over his shoulders in a weak attempt to calm him down.

"I only desired to know whether this would affect her." She mentioned her reason for accidentally ruining the romantic air around them.

"Ruthy, you know that Paula has always been by my side and she came up with that solution because she could not see me worrying about what to give Vonny." She defended her maid.

Paula had followed her from her maiden home and hence Raylene favored her and was closer to her when compared to the other maids.

Though she had a good relationship with all the other maids, she had a close affinity with Paula since they had practically grown up together.

Paula's mother had been a low-level maid in Raylene's father's estate.

So when the time came for her to choose a maid to stay by her side, she chose Paula.

Rutherford knew of the close relationship between the two women so he waved his hand in dismissal.

"She must have seen Howard's clothes and thought that they might help Vonna in her training." He muttered an explanation for the maid's actions.

Raylene was quick to nod her head to show her agreement with what he just said.

"Yes, yes…! She did not know that the dress would cause a major problem to Vonny's reputation." She added her thoughts to ensure the maid's safety.

Though Raylene had just punished the maid when she commanded her to carry that tub of water, she did not want her to face Rutherford's harsh punishments.

He was cognizant of the thoughts running in his wife's mind and hence he said that to make her feel at ease.

'But if I come to know that she had done so with even an ounce of ill will against you or Vonna then no one can save her from my wrath!' He gritted his teeth when this sudden thought came to his mind.

'Not even you, my sweet Ray. Not even you…' He ended his thoughts about what the maid's future would be if she had made this grave mistake.

Raylene felt a shiver run down her spine when she felt the menacing aura that the man under her had let out for a few seconds before it dissipated.

'I must have imagined that. Ruthy said that he does not think that Paula had any ill will when she gave that suggestion.' She calmed herself and then turned around.

"Shall we continue?" She coquettishly whispered in his ears once she was sure that he would not blame Paula for this incident.

Rutherford watched her suspiciously and when he noticed that this time she was as eager as he was, he smiled and then leaned closer to her face.

In an instant, their lips were pressed against each other as they partook in a slow passionate kiss.

Very soon his arms wrapped themselves around her slender waist and he hoisted her up in his arms.

"Ruthy!" Raylene yelped in surprise when she was lifted off his lap without any prior notice.

The muscular man placed her on the desk as he faced her with his eyes darkening with a combination of love and lust.

Raylene blushed and giggled when she saw his hungry eyes which looked as though he would gobble her up at any second.

'Let's try something new.' The husband smirked mischievously before inching closer to her.

His arms pulled her waist until she was perched at the edge of the desk.

He then held onto each leg and spread them apart before leading her ankles to rest on either side of his chair.

Raylene's eyes widened when she observed how smooth his actions were as he made her spread her legs wide open for him.

'This is so shameful!' She cried out in embarrassment in her mind.

She watched as he leaned forward in his seat and began pulling the hem of her gown gently upwards until they reached her calves.

"Ruthy…" She whimpered when the gown was raised higher.

As her fair and soft thighs came into his view, Rutherford gulped before inching closer to her.

"Ruthy…" Once again her soft voice was heard in the study.

Raylene was filled with embarrassment and shame when she saw that her husband was exposing her further without any intention of stopping.

Rutherford smirked hearing her mewls and finally pulled her gown until he had a proper view of what was between her thighs.

This time, Raylene stayed silent as her hands had by now covered her face since she did not want him to see her red cheeks.

"Ray is so precious!" He whispered the same phrase he used every time they did anything remotely sexual causing her to blush endlessly.

The next moment, Raylene bit her lips to stop the moan that had leaked out of her mouth.

Her husband's hot breath was now fanning over her delicate skin and she could not seem to sit still.

Rutherford gripped her thighs to keep them apart when he felt her trying to close them on a reflex.

The room was soon filled with soft moans and occasional whimpers thanks to the husband's ministrations which were causing the wife to lose control over her inhibitions.

Rutherford did not let her go even when she began tapping his shoulder indicating that he needed to stop before she lost herself in the pleasure he was giving her.

Raylene bit her lip which was hidden underneath the hand that covered her mouth to block her moans from getting any louder than they already were.

'I cannot believe that we are doing this here!' Her muddled brain could only think of this at the moment.

Any more than this was not possible since her body was focusing on the pleasure that she was being subjected to by her husband's tongue.

Hearing her loud ragged breathing, Rutherford knew that she could not last any longer.

So he did what anybody would do in that situation, he hastened his speed and also rubbed his rough palms along the length of her thighs.

"Ruthy…" Her moans grew louder as she was on the verge of erupting and this was possible because of all the love that she was receiving right now.

She chanted his name like a prayer and looked down at the man whose face was covered under her gown.

Her teary eyes glanced at his back which was the only thing visible to her right now.

Her stomach felt like it would cave in when she felt new sensations that she had never experienced before.

When she had finally reached the edge of her pleasurable experience, she widened her eyes when she felt his fingers entering her which immediately tipped her over the edge.

As she felt the power in her legs giving out as they slumped to the floor, she cried out in a voice that was louder than she had done before.

"Yes…!" She exclaimed as she felt fluids gushing out of her body.

Sadly, the timing of her scream matched the sudden knock on the door.

Raylene was still huffing and puffing after the assault she just faced on her senses.

She paid no heed to anything else and dropped her body onto the desk that she had been seated on.

Rutherford froze when he heard the knock coincide with his wife's pleasurable screams.

The person standing outside the door was Butler Limo who was puzzled when he heard his Madam yell out her consent in such a loud voice.

"Master, Marquess Samed has come to visit little Miss. He is in the parlor right now." He announced as he stood outside the door.

Rutherford sighed as he lifted the gown and came out from underneath it.

'I would have scooped Limo's eyes out if he had entered the room!' He glared at the door and then at his wife who was catching her breath as she laid on his desk.

Thankfully, no one could enter this room unless he would give them permission to do so.

The admission that Raylene had yelled out in her euphoric state was interpreted by the butler as permission to relay the message and not as permission to enter the room.

Butler Limo waited but when there was no answer from his master, he knocked on the door once again.

"Master, what are your orders? Marquess wouldn't leave and insisted on meeting little miss even after I informed him that she was taking her rest at the moment." He narrated the interaction that he had with the Royal Tutor.

Since Marquess Sullivan Samed was a man of a higher status in society and to top it off he was also the Royal Tutor, he deserved a certain amount of respect and reverence.

He could not be sent away without a proper greeting from the head of the family, which was Rutherford.

While the butler was pondering on what to do next, the door of the study was pushed open.

Rutheford stood before his butler, blocking the view of everything that was inside the room.

He then glanced at the other woman who stood there and narrowed his eyes.

"Go help your Madam." He commanded and then shut the door behind him.

Butler Limo and Paula both opened their eyes in surprise when they heard his words though they were for different reasons.

"What are you waiting for?" He snarled when he saw that she did not budge from her position.

The maid flinched before rushing in his direction since his command required her entrance into the forbidden room.

Rutherford did not hesitate to step aside as he let her into his sacred space and then shut the door after she had entered the room.

Butler Limo could not believe his eyes but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

So he sighed in confusion as he followed his master who had begun walking in the direction of the parlor where the uninvited guest was seated.
