Prologue

In the Seventeenth century, a nobleman’s daughter named Irena Nosova was tired of her father’s dictatorship; she rebels against a prearranged marriage. Irena was in love with a German Lord named Yule Lawson, who was more than your run of the mill nobility. Yule is a wealthy landowner, and has only one downside in society he was not pure in breeding his mother Nicolette was born of African descent, and traded into service. Yules mother spent many nights in her lordships bedchambers producing an heir.

The earl Arthur Stewart Lawson would not hear of disposing of the child and does the unspeakable, and marries his mistress becoming an outcast in society. Yule received the finest education money could buy. He attends only the top-notch schools, and introduced into society at the age of fifteen. Life for Yule was much easier with his father’s backing. In 1787 Yule turns twenty-one enlists into Catherine the Greats army.

He was a killing machine on the battlefield no man would dare face him, unless forced. In 1792, five years later Yule returns from the war a decorated soldier with high honors, and society ignores his breeding. Yule never married his first love Irena Nosova, but a young woman named Anastasia Mellon. Eight years later their union produced one son named Oden Lionel Lawson. Yule and wife Anastasia leave Bremen Germany to live in peace in Liverpool England.

Yule used his wealth to purchase lands in Liverpool and London, he and wife Anastasia are welcome into the Le bon ton also known as high society (Ton), becoming one of the favorite couples among many. He uses his wits and influence to support the King in war ventures receiving even more titles to land. Yule took advantage of his wealth and builds homes for tenants, and provides them with jobs working his lands. It was a life of privilege for the Lawson family, and his son Oden receives a strict upbringing as Earl of Lawson Castle.

His daily routine consists of fencing, reading literatures from Aristotle, and other scholars. He attends Military school, fluent in Russian, English, French and Danish. His mind was a sponge absorbing information at an accelerated pace. At Twenty seven Oden had travel the world spending time in Italy and France, Oden is a skilled artist by trade, and his paintings praised for capturing the soul of his subjects.

Chapter One

Come back here this instant Oden! Where are you off to now? Caspian is one of Oden’s best friends since childhood they attended school together living a life of privilege, no one treats Oden different he is the son of a Nobleman. Oden rides fast and furious across the large expanse of territory, glancing over his shoulder at Caspian struggling to keep up. Oden yells. Race you to the river. Caspian finally catches up with Oden sending a string of curse words toward his friend. By damn Oden that stallion will be the death of you yet. Oden laughs at the remark, and brings the stallion to a halt. Today they are hunting for quall. Oden lifts the Musket from the saddle filling it with power and a lead ball stuffing the barrel as he waits on Caspian to do the same.

The men are quite weaving their way into the bush. Oden whispers to his friend. Let’s see how good of a shot you are my friend over head in that tree. He points in the direction of the prey. Caspian squats down steading the musket in both hands and takes aim. The sound echoes in the silence creating a flurry of activity in the forest. Oden congratulates his friend for the nice shot. Excellent Caspian, I see you have been paying attention to the lessons. Caspian’s face splits into a grin. Damn, right I have Oden. You would not let me live it down if I failed. Another rumble in the bush Oden signals his friend to be quiet, a mother and her chicks are leaving the bush. Oden steadies his musket aiming at his target, pulling on the trigger and firing his gun.

The ball makes contact with the target dropping the prey to the ground. The men place their weapons in the saddle, and grab a bag to collect their kill. Once the quall are in the bag, the men mount up and head for home. The ride is in companionship as they make their way in the direction of Lawson Castle. The construction is a huge stone structure complete with Draw Bridge and lookout tower. Oden and Caspian ride into the courtyard, which echoes with the sound of castles residence all working in a peaceful atmosphere. Once they dismount, the stable men take the reins from their hands. Oden slaps his friend on the back and continues into the building. The house cleaners scurry to bring refreshments, stumbling over each other trying to please their master. Oden takes a seat by the fireplace and Caspian joins him. The men enjoy the ale then begin conversation. Oden was staring into the hearth with a solemn expression on his face as Caspian comments. My friend it is time you let go of the past. I know you have had a lot to deal with of late, but a man cannot just let life pass him by it is not natural Oden.

The comment brings Oden’s head up with a start. His steely gray eyes center on his friend. He realizes that Caspian only has his best interest at heart but this was a sore subject. He has already suffered the loss of his parent’s from the plague, not to mention an unfaithful betroth. It has only been a couple of months since he was in a duel over his beloved Rosaline, and to discover her unfaithfulness was the ultimate blow to his ego. A frown creases his brow, as he scowls at the remark. Caspian ignores the look. Caspian is undaunted, and prides himself on the openness of their friendship. Oden and Caspian have always been honest with one another and today were no different. He waits for his friend to respond to the remark. Maybe you are right Caspian I have become a prisoner behind these walls. After the debacle with Rosaline, I dare not show my face in society again. A shadow of pain crosses his friends face at the mention of Rosaline. Caspian laces his next remark with compassion. "Look Oden. I know it was difficult for you to accept Rosaline’s unfaithfulness, especially risking your life to protect her honor, but no one in society will look at you any different.

If anything they will shower you with understanding, no one can blame you. Oden takes a hard look at his friend. He was right as usual, how could anyone in his or her right mind blame him for Rosaline’s disgrace? Oden leaves his seat to stand leaning against the fireplace. What are you suggesting Caspian? That I make another grand entrance into society? Caspian leans into his seat with the glass of ale in his hand. He lifts it in salute to his friend. Very eloquently put my friend. That is exactly what my suggestion would be." Oden’s scowl deepens, was he ready to return to his rightful place in society? He has to admit hiding out in the country is not the answer. It was time for him to return, find a good woman and settle down. Oden was not lacking for attention in the female department. He has plenty of women to warm his bed at this moment, and if he does not feel like making house calls, his staff was sufficient. Yes, he has taken a couple of servants to his bedchambers a few times. A smile touches his sensual lips at the memory of one favorite servant, a young Housemaid named Inez.

The young chit has curves swollen breast with luscious thighs, and well-rounded bottom. Hardness fills his lower half at the memory of her soft curves against his hard body. The sounds of her pleasure in his ears, even now he could take her this very instant. He shakes the memory from his thoughts, and replies. I think you are right my friend we leave in a couple of days. I would enjoy the favor of one of society’s crème de la crème. This time Caspian rises to his feet. I thought you might miss the lifestyle of high society. I have taken the liberty of making the arrangements for us to leave at dawn on the morrow. Oden raises one smooth brow at Caspian. Was it that obvious? Caspian grins at his friend. Let’s just say you are easy for me to read my friend. Both men laugh at the remark as the butler announces dinner is waiting. The meal was prepared to Oden’s specifications, everything taste delicious down to the quall they caught earlier. The two men retire to the library share a glass of port and discuss current events. Oden leaves instructions with his Stewart to pack for London. He would be staying in one of his townhouses. He muses at the benefits of wealth unlike his father Oden was a gambling man lucky at cards, but not an excessive gambler. No, he would never be foolish enough to gamble his inheritance or his family’s fortune.

The evening draws to a close and the men part company until dawn approaches. Oden calls upon Inez. He needs comfort tonight and she was more than willing to be at his disposal. The valet completes the task dressing Oden for the night. He dismissed the valet for the evening, and sits on a challis waiting for Inez arrival. Twenty minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door. He allows entrance to the bedchambers, and Inez bobs a curtsy to her lordship then walks into the room. May I be of assistance to my lord tonight? Oden smiles at the woman, flashing strong even white teeth. Oden’s shoulder length hair loosen from the ribbon, and falls around his regal features. His features consist of a strong square jaw, long sideburns, and bronze skin. What attracts women the most is his crystal gray eyes. He is muscular and tall at over six feet in height. His large feet compliments other areas that provide women with the most delightful pleasure, some even become addicted to his ardor in the bedchamber.

Oden leans back against the challis moving his legs apart leaving room for the woman to join him. Inez was looking forward to a night with Oden, as she did every night he calls upon her. She quickly sits between his legs, turning to face him. His eyes roam over her features she was lovely and his gaze drifts to her bodice. My lord is there something in particular that you request of me? He thinks on the question with a smile tugging at his sensual lips. Yes, my dear let me feel your precious mouth upon me. You know how very much I enjoy your talents. That was all the invitation Inez needed. Her small hands remove the nightshirt that covers his broad chest. The hairs on his chest send waves of desire surging through her. She leans closer to take his nipples into her mouth kissing each one with slow deliberation. A moan escapes Oden while his hands draw Inez closer. Inez smiles with pleasure savoring the sounds of her lord, and the tremors racking his body. His lower half speaks volumes, and she continues touching him with skilled hands in all the right places. His large hands caress and tease her flesh with gentle circular motions sliding back and forth upon the soft supple skin on her shoulders. He removes the thin linen night grown she is wearing, stripping away the obstacle. Oden pulls Inez against the length of his hardness. His hands cover the firm round mounds of her backside, grinding Inez body against stiff, pulsing maleness. Warm lips cover Inez mouth with raw desire, as his tongue explores the depths slipping in and out of the hot wetness. Inez releases him for half a second leaning down to remove the rest of his clothing. Once she completes the task, she stands before him in the nude without shame. Oden positions one leg against the challis exposing Inez to his swollen manhood. A soft gasp escapes her, and she leans down touching his well-formed body kissing his nipples once more, trailing her tongue down his lengthy body in circular motions. She slides lower tracing kisses down his stomach.

She pauses at the navel licking the center, which sends Oden into ecstasy. She continues lower taking his swollen maleness into her mouth. Her head bobs up and down circling the enormous sized shaft. The room echoes with the sound of mating taking place between male and female. Oden releases a pent up breath, amazed at how well he has taught Inez the art of seduction. His body relaxes as she takes him repeatedly in the mouth.There was no emotion involved beside the act. He had given up the notion of love long ago. Today he focused his attentions on seduction leaving a woman satisfied but nothing more. Inez climbs on top of Oden, and he draws her down against his swollen shaft, hot heat rushes through her when his hardness melts inside. She was gasping with pleasure feeling the heat and friction of their mating. Oden positions her in different directions touching each wall penetrating all defenses making her want him even more. She whispers his name aloud, as fingers slide within her, spreading her cheeks with strong experienced hands.

A climax tears through Inez and she screams out in ecstasy, as Oden quickens the pace, driving himself even deeper. The motion of his hips thrusting inside sends her flying over the edge of passion, moans of delight tear from Inez. She wished this could last forever, and her mind torments her with thoughts of losing Oden’s passion. What happens when he tires of her? Could she be strong enough to watch as the inevitable happens? One day he would take a wife and she would be stuck waiting on his new countess, longing for his touch. A tear slides down her cheek. No, she could not bear for Oden to love another as he did her. He was about to release his seed when wetness covers his chest. Oden is deep into the climax, and lets out a bellow of satisfaction as tremors rack his body. Once they subside, he asks in a concerned voice. Inez, are you crying my dear? Was it not pleasurable enough for you? Inez bows her head in shame. She has no right to expect Oden to love her. She was nothing more than hired help, with no position or wealth.

How could she have possible believed he would see her as anything else? No, my lord it was very pleasurable for me. Oden raises himself on one elbow to look Inez directly into the eyes. He lifts her chin and comments. Inez, if that is the case my dear, why the tears? Inez eyes dart nervously from her lord to the wall then she answers in a miserable voice. It is nothing my lord, I only wished for something that can never be. Oden was curious now, and presses for answers. What is it that you wished for Inez? The woman steadies her voice and looks into those cool silver eyes. I wished that you loved me my lord. That we could make love all the time and that you would love only me. Oden was taken aback the answer leaves him speechless. What in the hell was she thinking? Clearly, Inez is young and foolish. There was no way in hell any Earl could be with her other than a few nights of shared passion. He makes his point by reminding Inez of her station, and gives her a sit down for thinking such ludicrous notions.

Inez, clearly you have forgotten your place. I am your lord no one can know of what is between us. Do you understand? I will not tolerate such foolishness from you or others of my staff. Are we clear? His words cut into her as a knife tearing out her soul. Lord Oden made it clear to Inez. She is nothing more than a bed warmer and she would do well to remember it. She bows her head struggling not to shed more tears. Yes, my lord. You are very clear. She lifts her head to meet his gaze. Will you need anything else my lord? She replies in a tortured voice. May I return to my rooms? Oden hears the defiance in her tone, but he would let her sleep on the matter. He waves his hand then replies. "No Inez you have pleased me enough tonight. You may return

This review is from: Confessions of a Diabolical Lover (Kindle Edition)

In Confessions of a Diabolical Lover by Dorothy Cosey. We are in the seventeenth century where Lord Oden Lawson is a troubled man because while sleeping with a servant Inez, he realizes he loves her and cannot marry her due to what society would think. As he seeks to find a suitable woman to marry, he can't seem to get his mind off Inez. During this time his cousin Lady Victoria Mellon is staying with him due to the fact she was molested by an Earl whom she is supposed to marry. Will Lord Oden find a acceptable wife or will he get the courage to marry Inez and why does Lady Victoria want to stay with Oden?

Dorothy Cosey's Confessions of a Diabolical Lover has a remarkable romantic theme set in the Seventeenth Century in England, where nobility was very important. You see in your mind how people in the Seventeenth Century thought and acted. I felt it was extremely well written with and there were no problems with grammar and the characters came alive with the dialog that Mrs. Cosey wrote. The climax was one that I was not expected and I commend Mrs. Cosey on such a interesting ending. Confessions of a Diabolical Lover is not your run of a mill historical romance by any means and this reviewer highly recommends this novel
