5 Compromise

The ball at Netherfield was in full swing. Miss Bingley felt that she was the belle of the ball. Observing her female guests confirmed her conclusion that she was the most elegant woman present.

She had never felt so good and relaxed at any function.

Caroline would have been shocked to know that part of her relaxation was due to the judicious addition of brandy to the punch which her brother solicitously supplied her with.

She was particularly pleased by the fact that the most handsome of the officers was paying her a great deal of attention. Miss Eliza must be green with envy since Lieutenant Wickham was a particular favourite of hers.

Miss Bingley was only distractedly irritated that Mr Darcy was not present to see how much in demand she was, since he had chosen to remain in his rooms for the early part of the ball.

Her current set with Lt. Wickham was coming to a close. When the music stopped, he suggested, ‘Miss Bingley, allow me to fetch some refreshments for you.’

Caroline was agreeable since dancing had made her remarkably thirsty. Soon Wickham was back and handed her yet another spiked drink. By the time she had half finished her drink, Caroline was starting to feel its effects.

‘Miss Bingley, you look flushed. Are you well? Allow me to escort you somewhere where you can catch your breath,’ Wickham offered in a solicitous manner while guiding her from the ballroom.

Caroline was grateful for the supporting hand under her elbow as Wickham led her into the billiard room. He surreptitiously kicked the door shut behind them.

‘My dear Miss Bingley, please finish your drink. It will do you good,’ he encouraged.

Caroline was befuddled enough already that she followed his suggestion. When she had emptied her cup, he took it from her and placed it on a nearby table.

Transferring his hand from her elbow to around her waist, Wickham guided Caroline to a sofa. She did not appear to notice that he kept his arm around her as they sat down.

‘Miss Bingley, you are so very lovely and irresistible. You have quite bewitched me,’ he murmured as he brought her hand to his lips, kissing each finger. Turning over her hand, he kissed the inside of her wrist.

Caroline was torn between propriety and the pleasurable sensation. In her inebriated state, she lost the battle with propriety when he leaned forward and started trailing gentle kisses along her jaw.

Her fate was sealed when she turned her face towards him to feebly protest and he claimed her lips in a searing kiss, while he pulled her firmly into his embrace.

She was so distracted by his kisses that she did not notice his free hand pulling up her skirt and stroking her legs. When he reached their apex, he started to stimulate her until her legs spread of their own accord.

Caroline was breathing hard. She had never experienced such sensations before. Part of her knew that she should protest but she could not seem to want to. She felt excited and her body tingled.
