Chapter 3: Oh The Intrigues

Miroku went into Monty's study after she had her servants take DuBois away. Monty sat behind her large desk with her head in her hands.
"Monty? Are you going to be alright?"
"Yes, Miroku. I just didn't think any one would have the gall to evoke the code, just to threaten me. Those idiots in France, They think because I agree with their edicts to give women rights to property means I will agree with all of their radical ideas. Most are completely stupid."
Miroku turned around, closed the door and locked it. "Perhaps, I can help you calm down. You have a chess tournament to win tonight." he said as he moved behind her, removed her surcoat from her shoulders and began to rub them.
"Mm, you have magic hands Miroku."
"I had a very good teacher, Adeline." he whispered in her ear as he loosened her cravat, kissed her ears and neck.
"Kagome tells me there is a young girl very interested in you, and that you are interested in her."
"Interested, yes. Sango is quite a beauty. She would make a wonderful wife."
"You are not sure if you love her or not?" Monty said as Miroku reached down and unbuttoned her waistcoat and massaged her breasts through the silk shirt.
"I have not had much of a chance to get to know her. I have been so very busy. From what I have seen of her, she stirs my heart. But, she is not the one who stirs my passions, Adeline."
Monty turned around in the large chair, put her arms around Miroku's neck and kissed him.
"How long have we been friends, Miroku?"
"For nearly five years."
"You know I have other lovers besides you."
"Yes, I know."
"I will never marry you."
"I am quite aware of that."
"Yet you still come to me."
"Nobody makes me feel as satisfied as you do."
"That is because I know tantra. Lets move over to the couch, there is just not enough room here."
"As you wish, my sweet Adeline." He said as he used his feet to remove his shoes.
Monty continued to disrobe as she made her way across the study. She walked to the door to make sure it was locked before she sat seductively on the couch.
Miroku removed his surcoat, vest, and shirt slowly, allowing Monty to allow her eyes to wander up and down his form. Monty was in control, and Miroku knew it.
If he made one wrong move, Monty would grab a robe from the armoire in her study to cover herself, and toss him unceremoniously out. She had tossed Miroku out twice before, when he upset her.
As he edged closer to the couch, Monty held out her arms to embrace him. Miroku kneeled and burred his head in her chest as she worked the laces on his breeches. He allowed his head to slowly wander lower, kissing her belly and then to the folds between her legs.
Monty had to bite her lip to keep from crying out. She had taught Miroku well in how to excite her sexually.
She grabbed Miroku's head and pushed him away from her. He allowed himself to fall backwards onto the fur rug on the floor, so Monty could remove his breeches and hose.
She sat on his legs and teased his penis with her large breasts.
"Adeline, you torture me so," Miroku said breathlessly.
Monty sat up and grabbed Miroku's arms, so that he was also sitting. She wrapped her legs aound his waist and helped him ease himself into her.
They rocked back and forth, carefully stifling cries and moans.
Miroku's head went light and stated to spin. He let nearly let out a loud, moan as he spent himself. Monty was sure if she had not covered his mouth , anyone in the hall would have heard.
Monty stood up, poured some water from a large pitcher into a matching bowl and dipped a cloth into it. She opened a dressing cabinet that disguised a chamber pot, and cleaned herself up. She picked up her clothing and slowly got dressed
Miroku continued to lay in the floor, his head still spinning. Monty took another cloth and dipped it in the bowl of water and tossed it on Miroku's chest.
Miroku let out a gasp. "Hey! Monty! That wasn't nice!"
"Clean yourself up and get dressed before we are missed." She said as she went to a mirror, adjusted her hair and sat back down in the chair behind her desk to study some paperwork.
"How long was I out of sorts this time?" Miroku asked as he dressed.
"Nearly ten minutes."
"Is that a new record?" He said as he leaned over her desk for one last kiss.
"No." She said quietly as their lips parted. "On another subject. What is your cousin's maiden name?"
"Higurashi, why?"
"As in Sir Anthony Higurashi of Birkstead?"
"Yes. Is that important?"
Monty leaned back on the chair and gave a sigh. "I don't know yet. I want you to stay for another day after the party if you can. There is something I need to discuss with you, Kagome and Inuyasha."
"I see no problem. I had planned on it anyway."
"Good, and, before you leave I want you to have Miss Tremaine on your arm and to have at least kissed her once. You may be one of my lovers, but you are one of my dearest friends first and foremost. I want to see you happy. Besides, I want to know if she heard DuBois evoke the code. She was standing next to Kagome and Angelique. Inuyasha can handle Kagome. Angelique will say nothing. But, if Kagome's friend, Sango, gossips, and it reached His Majesty."
"It could be the end for us all. I will do my best , Monty. May God bless our swords."
"May the rose protect you." Monty said as Miroku unlocked and left the study.
"May the rose protect us all." Monty whispered as she tidied up the study.
Monty joined Kagome outside as she and Inuyasha were watching the various games. There were groups of men and women firing pistols, rifles, and arrows at various standing targets.
Kagome had an odd look on her face as Inuyasha tightly held her hand.
"Ah, there you are Kagome. What is the matter? You look so forlorn."
"I was worried about you, at least until Your Hindi servants carried off DuBois."
"Oh, that. It is taken care of. Why should you worry? It looks to me like you want in on one of these contests and my wicked cousin won't let you."
"All she needs to do is ask," Inuyasha replied.
"Well, I am good a rifle and pistol, but I am very good with a bow."
"That is perfectly fitting, since this is the land of Robin Hood. Now let me hold your surcoat while you grab one of those bows, knock an arrow and show me if the spirit of Robin Hood still lives."
Inuyasha nodded and Kagome went to a table with several bows. She chose one that suited her. She took an arrow from the quiver at the end of the table and waited her place in line to fire at the target.
Once it was her turn. Kagome carefully knocked the arrow and fired. The arrow hit dead center. Those watching cheered.
"Wait there, Kagome!" Monty yelled as she grabbed another arrow for Kagome to fire." One more time!"
Kagome nodded and carefully aimed again. The arrow split the previous one in half.
Monty clapped and shouted with glee, "Now we all know where the sprit of Robin Hood resides today! It is getting late. It is nearly time for all who still wish to participate to find their boards for the chess tournament!"
Inuyasha grabbed his wife and whirled her around as he kissed her. "That was amazing! You are going to have to help me with my bowmanship."
"It is easy love, like in all things, you just have to aim well."
"Is that a proposition to skip the chess tournament?"
"Oh no. I want to play, but I may loose on purpose, so I can leave early."
"Come on you two, there will be plenty of time for that later."
"Monty, where is Miroku? He is usually half drunk, pinching bottoms by this time."
"Oh, he is fine." Monty said with a slight smirk, "He is already inside, playing chess with Miss Tremaine."
Inuyasha took a look at Monty, rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Lets go on inside, Kagome."
"What was that sigh about?"
"Never mind. Its Miroku's business, not mine."
The chess games were in full swing as soon as Inuyasha and Kagome made it inside.
Monty was sitting at the flat side of a half circle table, playing three games at once. Miroku was still playing against Sango.
Kagome saw the man, Bartholomew, whom Monty had won against in the fencing tournament. He was sitting alone at a table waiting for an opponent.
"Go ahead, Kagome, I will play you once a table clears." Inuyasha said as he sat on a nearby couch next to Sango's aunt. The older woman was smiling and blushing.
"He is almost as good a catch as you are." Mrs. Tremaine said, "I am so glad that Sango found enough nerve to finally talk to him. She has been pining over him for the last three years, Your Grace."
"Really, that long? I must say, that Sango did not escape his notice. He has just been incredibly busy, due to ill relatives and a death in the family."
"Oh, Your Grace, I was unaware of that. I hope Sango can help him ease his troubled heart."
"I do as well. He needs some happiness."
"I see your wife had the bravery to play the Pirate Roberts."
"Ah, so that is the Great Bartholomew Roberts. I hear he is as good at chess as he is at captaining his ship. The name, 'The Dread Pirate Roberts' is a gross exaggeration. From what I hear he is neither dreadful or a pirate. He just has the fastest ship on the waters. Other sailors are jealous."
Inuyasha looked over at the table where Miroku was dealing Sango a checkmate. Sango's face turned a scarlet red as Miroku led her to the couch where Mrs. Tremaine and Inuyasha were sitting.
"I have to ask you to move, Inuyasha. Sango has to sit next to her chaperone so I can claim my reward."
"And what sort of reward is that?" Inuyasha asked as he stood up.
"Hand me that pillow please, Inuyasha. My reward is to fall asleep with my head laying in her lap. With a pillow between us, and Mrs. Tremaine there to make sure I mind my manners, of course."
"Of course." Inuyasha said as he looked up to see Kagome shaking hands with Roberts. At first, he though his wife had lost, but, Roberts bowed and got up to go sit next to another gentleman.
Inuyasha quickly made his way to the chess table as Kagome set up the pieces again.
"So, did Roberts let you win?"
"No. In fact he was surprised. He said that I was an excellent player. I had plenty of practice. I played my grandfather all the time. I never won against grandfather, he was just too good for me."
"Well we shall see. I will not let you win just because I am your husband."
Soon, there were only three chess combatants left. Kagome, Monty and Philippe Calait.
"I should have known I would be playing either against the Compte de Calait or the Duchess of Wyvern. " Monty said loudly , "Philipe has beaten me once, and Kagome is the favorite granddaughter of one of England's champion players. Now, it is time to choose a prize before we proceed."
"One of your dances!" Roberts yelled from the far side of the room.
"I think my dances are a little too scandalous for this party, Bartholomew."
A huge group of dismayed 'ah's' filtered among the male guests, followed by a few slaps from the various ladies present.
"I have it," She said as she had one of her servants carry in a small box. Monty opened the box to reveal a ruby pendant necklace and matching earrings. Oohs and ahs filled the room.
"Now you two have the choice. Both play me at once, or each play me separately. The one who loses first looses the prize."
"Both at once!" Miroku yelled.
"Both at once is fine with me if it is fine with Philippe."
"It is perfectly fine with me." Philippe replied.
