There are many uses for a man’s cravat… Sophie
CHAPTER 33
Sophie knocked gently on Eden’s bedroom door.
“Come in, Sophie, I left it open.”
She pushed it in and saw Eden sitting at her dressing table still in her nightdress staring into her mirror. It was early morning yet, and her personal maid had not been in to begin getting her ready for the wedding.
Her riotous curls were as they always were: tangled and haphazard. Her eyes behind her spectacles looked sleepy and soft. Sophie felt a swelling of love for her best friend and went to her, embracing her from behind.
The girls looked at their reflections in the mirror, Sophie’s dark hair and thin face against Eden’s blond curls and sweet round cheeks. Eden turned her head and gave her friend a peck on the cheek before patting the bench next to her for Sophie to sit.
“I cannot believe that this is your wedding day. It has seemed that the weeks have flown by. I am so very excited for you, Eden.”
Eden laughed, “I do not think that Phillip would agree with you. Last night he said that it’s been a damn nuisance and we should have run off to Gretna Green.”
They both dissolved into giggles.
“Randall has never been one to suppress his feelings,” Sophie said wagging her eyebrows. “My entire household has proof of that.”
Eden flushed wildly, “Oh, please do not mention that again. I am utterly mortified every time Cece brings up farm animals in company for fear she will expose me.”
Sophie snorted, “She is only teasing you, Edie, because she likes you. She doesn’t want to truly embarrass you. Well, maybe also to get a rise out of my husband, if only he wouldn’t get so angry. She delights in it so! Siblings - what is one to do?”
Eden smiled, “They are pretty entertaining together. I am glad that they stayed on for the wedding, teasing and all.”
“Cece said that she had to, her torture instruction had to be completed before she returned back home.”
The girls laughed again.
“Can you believe that she insisted on tying Charles up though?” Eden was scandalized.
Sophie smiled secretively, “Don’t knock it until you have tried it.”
Eden looked at her in shock, “What are you trying to tell me?”
“I am just saying that there are many uses for a man’s cravat,” Sophie colored. “I have no idea why I keep telling you all of this, except that you are my very best friend.”
“You had better always tell me these little secrets,” Eden added with a naughty smile on her face.
Sophie looked a little hesitant.
“What?” Eden demanded. “What is it?”
“There is something else, something of a family joke. But honestly, Eden, I do not want you to think differently about me or the family if I let you in on it. You will have to be sworn to secrecy.”
Eden looked at her with wide eyes, “I will take it to the grave, I swear.”
“There is this book. It is old and maybe Greek or Latin, I am not sure the origin. It started out as a young boy’s fantasy, but there are things in there, things that would make your head spin. Eden, it is hedonistic, beyond erotic, beyond moral. But if you think that you might want to see it…...?”
“Go,” Eden jumped up, “go get it now!”
Sophie giggled, jumping to her feet, “I won’t be just a moment!”
She raced out and came back moments later carrying a small brown leather book. The cover was old and worn, obviously from years of use. It looked like any other manual that one would find in a library. Eden looked at Sophie with inquiring eyes.
“Just open it,” Sophie grinned, “Any page. Let me warn you - the words are not in any writing that I know, so the pictures will have to speak for themselves.”
Eden looked disappointed, “Do you mean to tell me that it does not even explain what to do?”
Sophie laughed aloud, “Oh trust me, you will get the general idea.”
Eden was doubtful but took a chance and opened the book part way through. What was on the yellowed pages intrigued her: she felt her nipples begin to ache and her heart start to race.
The woman was on a bed of some sort, her arms and legs tied to the four ends causing her to be exposed to the elements - not a single part of her left unexposed.
There was a man at her head teasing her face with his cock, almost feeding it to her.
Eden looked up at her, “Do women do this?”
Sophie laughed when she saw the page, “Men enjoy this quite a bit, and you will see this frequently in the book, but there are also parts about women receiving this type of loving.”
And she flipped to another page where the woman was on her hands and knees with her head pushed into the bed and her thighs spread wide while the man licked and ate her from behind.
“Good heavens,” Eden was shocked.
“There are also many pages with multiple partners. I am not at all interested in trying that, but I must admit that Elias like when I look at it because he says that it makes me very… Well, never mind. Anyhow, would you like to borrow the book?”
Eden wasn’t paying attention - she was too busy looking through the incredibly naughty book.
Sophie grinned to herself: I think I will take that as a yes. And, Randall, you can thank me for that later. Happy wedding day, my dear friend.
