Two Suffolk Friends by Francis Hindes Groome

Chapter 1 OLD TIMES.

F?oks alluz s?a as they git old,

That things look wusser evry day;

They alluz sed so, I consate;

Leastwise I've h'ard my mother s?a,

When she was growed up, a big gal,

And went to sarvice at the Hall,

She han't but one stuff gownd to wear,

And not the lissest mite of shawl.

But now yeou c?an't tell whue is whue;

Which is the missus, which the maid,

There ain't no tellin'; for a gal,

Arter she's got her wages paid,

Will put 'em all upon her back,

And look as grand as grand can be;

My poor old mother would be stamm'd [39]

Her gal should iver look like she.

And 'taint the lissest bit o' use

To tell 'em anything at all;

They'll only laff, or else begin

All manner o' hard names to call.

Praps arter all it 'tain't the truth,

That one time's wusser than the t'other;

Praps I'm a-gittin' old myself,

And fare to talk like my old mother.

I sh?an't dew nowt by talkin' so,

I'd better try the good old plan,

Of spakin' sparing of most folks,

And dewin' all the good I can.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
