Aiden smiled and said softly "yes we should" as he trailed his fingers along the edge of her jaw, and then caught her hand as the separated, and brought it to his lips, kissing it fervently. He stood there watching as she disappeared out into the dark courtyard toward the main house, and when she was finally out of sight set about bedding down the horses. He brushed them out carefully and saw to it they were fed before heading to the bunk house.
He lit the lantern and was about to get undressed when he saw to green eyes flash at him from his bed. Roxy lay their naked and smiling at him. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "one might better ask why weren't you here?" Roxy retorted. " I want mine now! I've been patient, let you accompany Addie to god knows where in the middle of the night. You were about to get undressed, well get to it! and don't get any high minded ideas about your loyalties. How do you think her brother would take it if he knew you had Addie out till 3am!"
Aiden said nothing, he gave her a sexy smile and sat on a bench and began to unbuckle his boots. Sensing victory, Roxy smiled back and batted her eyelashes at him in the flickering light. He removed a buckle and strap from each boot and then without saying a word, he took them to the bed and gently secured her wrists together and then her ankles. Roxy, was clearly turned on by his actions and smiled with delight. Aiden stepped back and admired his handy work before taking a sock from the drawer and then leaning down as if to kiss her quickly stuffed it in her mouth gaging her. He then slung her over his shoulder and carried her out of the barn and over to Victor's office where he quietly picked the lock and went inside. There was a large coat hook high on the wall behind the desk where Victor would hang his coat each day. He hooked the strap which secured her hands over the hook and slipped a few books under her feet so she could just stand, but could not get free. "I'm sure you will "get yours" in a few hours when Victor arrives. I suggest you tell him that you had your fellow maids arrange this as a present to him. I doubt he would be happy knowing you were waiting for me!"
Aiden left quietly and then locked the door behind him and then went to bed. As he lay in bed he dreamt about the feel of Addie tender skin beneath the water in the river, and the touch of her breast against his chest. Though he hadn't long to sleep, the few hours he had were glorious, and he woke the next morning still dreaming of her.
