CHAPTER 3 An
Underhanded Deal
Tessa Bordon had stayed with her Father in his
cell until nightfall. She was later driven back to the estate by carriage
accompanied by Lieutenant Scott.
When she returned, she had dinner brought to her
rooms. It was then that the servant informed her that he had let Colonel
Tavington into the Bordon Suite while she was away earlier that day. He needed
to retrieve all the Dragoon paperwork, maps, reports, and documents that
Geoffrey had in his possession. This was so that he or one of the other
officers could finish it up, not knowing when�or if�Major Bordon would be
released for it could not wait that long. Tess responded to this with a tired
and indifferent nod of her head, not caring that he�d
invaded her room when she was gone.
After supper, which she had toyed with, not being
hungry, she went down on her bed and wept. She was worn out and thoroughly
overwhelmed by the recent events. She cried herself to sleep and slept soundly
until 11:00am the next day.
After she awoke, she had a bath brought in, as
well as lunch since she had slept through breakfast. Afterward, she rode her
horse with an escort back over to Fort Carolina to visit Geoffrey. However, her
time with him was cut short by O�Hara, wanting to talk more with the Major.
Tess soon found herself back in the Bordon suite
alone. She did not leave it the rest of the day, sitting aimlessly instead. She
was distraught, overwhelmed, depressed, and confused. Her mind was a whirl as
her body sat motionless.
Their living quarters seemed big and empty without
her father there. She was alone there nearly every day or night, but always
knew that Bordon would return from his duties within a matter of hours usually.
Now, she didn�t know when he was coming back. She didn�t know what to do with herself.
She fought back tears as she remembered Geoffrey
telling her in his cell to �be brave.� Those were his signature words�he said
them to everyone.
Aside from trying to be brave, Tess also tried to
figure out what Geoffrey would do to run the household. She wondered what he
would want her to do in his absence.
She passed the time in thought and finally came to
some decisions. Tessa knew now that she was not a child without
responsibilities anymore. She was an adult now�a young lady. The girl now had
to grow up and take on Geoffrey�s tasks of the household and affairs in his
stead.
Miss Bordon went through the Major�s desk and
books. He had made it very easy�everything was organized in meticulous order!
She had no problems finding anything and little trouble understanding things.
Although this would provide some distraction for
her, the fact of the matter was that she missed him terribly and believed in
his innocence. But, how could he prove this if he was in jail? Also, Tess
needed his presence there. She needed her father to protect her, guide her, and
comfort her.
Again, Tessa made up her mind. She could not sit
idly by as he rotted in jail. She had to do something about it. She had to find
a way to help him. But what or how?
She went to the window bed and lounged upon it,
looking out over the activities of the plantation. First, she thought she could
go into Devington and gather information to prove his
innocence. It was a good idea, but then she remembered that she knew almost
nothing about Bordon�s Colonial woman.
In a moment, another idea flashed across her mind.
She recalled something that Lieutenant Scott said in passing during the coach
ride to the Fort yesterday, after her Father�s arrest. She remembered that he
stated that Colonel Tavington had a lot of influence with the Generals, and
that if anyone could get his second in command freed, it would be him. Tess
also knew from her Father�s words and from reputation, that the Colonel was
firm, fought for what he believed in(especially for
the Dragoons), wasn�t afraid to use his initiative, and hated to take �no� for
an answer.
Tessa thought more about this and assuming
the household duties and sighed. She knew that she had to get over her profound
shyness and the sense of security and protection that comes with being
sheltered so by her father. She would have to get better at getting out,
talking and dealing with others.
As far as her father was concerned, Tessa Bordon
now knew what she had to do. She would pay a visit to Colonel Tavington and
talk with him about Geoffrey�s situation. She would convince him, if need be,
to do everything, use all his influence, to procure her father�s release from
prison and treason charges.
That evening, Tess took dinner in her room as she
planned strategy and thought about what to say and how to approach Tavington.
She knew that he needed his second in command back desperately. Surely, he was
a wise and reasonable man.
So, at 8:00 that same night, she left her suite to
call on the commander of the Green Dragoons. Tess soon found herself standing
outside Colonel Tavington�s room. She was very
nervous when she knocked on the door.
�Come in,� said the Colonel in a weary voice.
�Good Evening, Colonel Tavington,� she said.
The Colonel looked up from his paperwork, which
was strewn all over his massive desk. He looked puzzled, surprised to see the
normally shy girl before him.
�Ah, Miss Bordon,� he greeted. �How are you
doing?�
�Fine, considering,� she answered, fighting
shyness. �I�ve had to take over all of Geoffrey�s tasks.�
�What brings you here this evening?� He put his
pen back in the inkwell and sat back in his chair. The commander was intrigued
that she was there.
�I wanted to talk to you about my brother�s
situation,� she answered.
�Yes, and what of it?�
�Well, to put it bluntly, you and I both need him
back here-not in prison.� She found some boldness somewhere within herself when
she said that.
Tavington sniffed. �True!�
�Isn�t there anything else we can do to get him
out?�
�Well, I don�t know��
�You believe his innocence, don�t you,� she
interrupted him.
He shook his head and sighed. �It is not a matter
of whether I believe him or not. Treason is a serious charge. His fate
doesn�t lie with me, it lies with those higher up than I.�
�You have influence with them,� she remarked.
�To some degree, but�� he stopped short, then continued. �Just what is it that you want, Miss Bordon?�
�My brother out of prison,� she answered in a
forlorn voice.
�Miss, it is not that simple,� Tavington stated.
Obviously, she didn�t understand the serious nature of
the charge.
�But, he is innocent! He is your second in command
and everyone knows he is a good and dedicated soldier. He�d never betray his
country!�
Tavington was getting irritated at her
interruptions and boldness. This wasn�t the normal,
shy Miss Bordon that they were all used to seeing. He was also anxious to get
back to his paperwork, which he was already behind on. The officer really didn�t think she�d stay more than a moment.
The Colonel snapped. �I can�t be sure of that.
After his secretive activities with this rebel woman, I don�t
know anything anymore! When I first found out, I was furious at him and could
have wrung his neck myself! I mean, what was he
thinking to take up with the enemy!? For all I know, our secrets could be all
over the countryside by now!� His arm made a sweeping motion as he said this.
�He would never!� she shot back.
�I don�t know that! What am I supposed to trust?�
�You know you can trust him,� Tess said
emphatically.
Tavington leaned back in his chair and looked up
at the ceiling. He was confused by her actions and the conversation was leading
nowhere.
�Miss Bordon, really, I�m sorry, but I am buried
alive in paperwork, as you can see and am now short an officer. Please state
your business and be on your way.�
�I�d like to ask you for help with my father,� she
began. �I know the Generals will listen to you. If you could
please intervene on his behalf.�
Tavington rolled his eyes. Had she not heard a
word he had just said? She obviously didn�t know he
had already talked with the Generals and made a strong case for his innocence.
He looked at her. She seemed desperate. He sighed
and would explain things to her one more time, then he would have to escort her
out�he had too much else to do.
�Look, Miss Bordon��
�His release is worth a lot to me, Colonel,� Tess
interrupted. She tried to sound brave and confident. �I�m prepared to offer you
anything you want in exchange for your help with this.�
Tavington was taken aback once again at her
boldness. But, by this time, he was intrigued nonetheless. He decided to probe
a little further.
�You want him out of jail so badly that you�d pay
a high price?�
�Yes,� answered Tess.
William was quiet again as his mind spun rapidly.
She didn�t seem to understand the severity of the
charge and didn�t know he�d already talked to the Generals about it. She also wasn�t comprehending the fact that even though he had some
influence with them, his fate was to be decided by the Inquest Board.
Tavington could barely suppress a smile as impish
and mischievous thoughts crossed his mind. With Bordon in jail for who knew how
long, William could exploit her offer to his advantage. For here was a beautiful young girl, now alone; a girl who was
sheltered and overprotected by Bordon, now having to fend for herself.
In fact, Major Bordon had threatened more than one soldier for looking at her
the wrong way. He had made her unobtainable to any soldier in the area. Now,
with him out of the picture for awhile, it might be sport to see if she was
obtainable. This could be great fun, he thought. And, he beamed at the
thought that he might just be the one to tear down that wall that Major
Bordon had built around her all those years.
He began to toy with her. �Oh, I don�t know. I am
just not sure if he is innocent or not. It would take a lot of
convincing. I mean, it is my reputation that is at stake if I defend him.�
�I said that I would give anything,� she repeated.
�That is a very generous offer,� he said. �Am I
honestly to believe that you would sacrifice anything for his release?�
�Yes. I meant the offer.�
He wanted her to expand on her offer of
�anything�. William couldn�t seem to get anything
specific out of her. He would just have to draw it out another way.
�Anything? Hmmmmm. And you are prepared to make good on your bargain,�
William questioned.
�Yes.� Tess tried to fight off her nerves. She
wanted him to see confidence in her.
�Well, then, you will not be shocked at my being
forward and admitting that your offer is construed as��.lascivious favors�.in
the bedchambers?� William said with a lewd smile.
She was shocked but tried not to show it. But, she
had known in her mind when she had come to this decision, that this may be the
price she�d have to pay.
�No,� Tess replied. �I�m not shocked, Colonel.�
Tavington got up and walked around to the front of
his desk, standing before Tess. �I say that because I tire so of the camp
whores. All they do is cheat, lie, steal, and raise
their prices. They seem to think that I am the Bank of England. Favors from you
for the small price of my time at headquarters would be less costly than time
with them.�
Tess squirmed uncomfortably and said nothing.
Tavington was enjoying this. �Now, let me get this
right. You would give your bodily integrity in exchange for your brother�s
freedom?�
�If need be,� she answered, trying to act
confident again.
�Indeed your level of self sacrifice to save
someone you love is admirable,� Tavington said. �You�d give it even though I
can guarantee nothing and can�t even prove his innocence?�
�You know him well! You know he is innocent and
would not commit treason,� she shouted angrily.
�I have my doubts,� he answered calmly. He walked
to the fireplace and was quiet for a moment. �It will take some
convincing.�
Tess looked down at the floor. What had she gotten
herself into? The least the Colonel could have been was noble and offered to
help her for nothing! Instead, she was going to have to do more now to convince
him of Geoffrey�s innocence. Still, she wanted him home badly enough, that she
would keep her end of the deal. All this, despite the fact that she was still a
virgin, sheltered from the world by Geoffrey, and had never even kissed a boy
before. She barely even knew anything about the sexual act itself.
Tess now knew what it was like to be a grown-up.
She was experiencing part of the ugliness of life�doing something one doesn�t necessarily want to do for the right reason. The cut
throat, dirty deals that adults sometimes had to make to obtain things they
needed or wanted. She wasn�t sure she was going to
like having all this adult responsibility.
William saw Tess moving in her chair. He could
tell she was still her childlike, shy self and was putting on a show of
confidence. He admired the girl for trying, but she couldn�t
fool him. No matter. She was his now for the taking, by her own hand.
Tavington came forward and stood next to her
chair. �You are very beautiful, Miss Bordon.� He then walked behind her to the
other side and continued. �Your father is right to shelter you. Our little
world here is full of many hungry soldiers that would devour you alive.�
She never met his gaze during these last words.
When she finally was brave enough to look up at him, he was looking down at her
with those piercing blue eyes of his. He held his hand out for her to take hold
of it.
Tess grasped the hand offered to her and stood up.
William pulled her slowly toward his bed. She followed him apprehensively.
Suddenly and without warning, Colonel Tavington
threw her down on her back upon his bed. His body was on top of hers before she
could take her next breath. The girl fought him as best as she could while his
hands groped her body and grabbed at her dress.
In a moment, though, she was able to push him off
of her. Tessa then bolted up from the bed and jumped a safe distance back away
from it. She just stood there, stunned and looking back at him with saucer
eyes.
The Colonel laughed aloud as he rolled on to his
side. He propped his head up on one elbow and looked
back at her. William had just tested her to see if she was really willing to
uphold her end of the bargain. To him, her struggle was answer enough that she wasn�t, so he relaxed his hold on her enough to let her get
free. He had just wanted to make sure she knew the consequences of her offer
and how serious it was.
�Miss Bordon,� he began in a condescending tone,
�It is clear you did not intend to keep your offer. It matters not to me what
you do or don�t do. It is your father that rots
in prison�not mine!�
Tess was too aghast to say anything. Tavington
continued on as he sat up on the bed.
�I could have taken you by force, but why should
I? It was you who came to me begging for help.�
Tess tried to say something back to him, but words
escaped her.
After a moment of her silence, Tavington assumed
she had changed her mind and had rescinded her offer. His mind breezed over all
the work he had to attend to. He got up from the bed and stood before her.
�Why are we even having this conversation? You
don�t intend to follow through your intentions.� With those words, he gently
took her arm and ushered her to the door. Once there he opened it and said, �I
am very busy and you are wasting my time. Good Night.� He then gave her a
gentle shove through the door and shut it behind her, leaving her stranded in
the hallway.
Once there, Tess was shocked at all that had transpired
in his room and at how fast it had happened. Then, as she came back to her
senses, she thought that she had just missed her best chance to obtain her
brother�s freedom. She panicked.
Tess started banging on the door with her fists
and shouting frantically. �Colonel Tavington, please! You�ve
got to let me back in! You�ve got to help me! Let me
in! Colonel! PLEASE!�
On the other side of the door, William panicked as
well when he heard this, fearing she�d rouse everyone in the house to his door,
wanting an explanation. He bolted to the door, opened it, grabbed Tess and
yanked her back into his room.
�Good Lord,� he swore, � Are
all the Bordons going to cause scandals this
week?!�
He slammed the door. �Christ. You�ll disturb the
whole bloody house!�
�Forgive me,� begged Tess, �I do need your
help and I�ll give you whatever you want for it.�
Will stepped away from her and stared for a
moment. He cocked his head sideways at her, as if trying to make up his mind
about something. �Are you absolutely certain? Because once you lose your
virtue, you can never get it back.�
�Yes,� she sighed, �I�m certain.� She looked back
at him, somewhat defeated, yet giving off an air of peace with her resolution.
�You know your father would be angry over this,�
Tavington reminded her. �He wouldn�t want you to do it. He�d rather do the
prison time than have you give up something irretrievable.�
�Yes, I know,� agreed Tessa, �but I have to grow
up sometime. And that time is now. I have made my decision, and I�ll take responsibility for it. He would do anything,
including a bargain of this nature, if it were me.�
The Colonel now felt a better sense of certainty
from her. They were both quiet for a moment, thinking about things.
Tess broke the silence. �Colonel, I will give my
body to you but, I must confess, that I am not experienced in this.�
Tavington rolled his eyes. Even given the fact
that sex was not a topic of polite conversation, it never ceased to amaze him
how many young women were told nothing of the subject, expected to learn it
from their newlywed husbands on their wedding nights.
�Good Lord, has your father told you nothing?�
She shook her head from side to side to tell him
no.
�Well, small matter,� he said quietly.
There was another awkward silence between the two.
Tavington looked at her and drank in her youthful beauty. Tess returned his
glance, wishing she could sink into the wood of the floor.
She felt her heart begin to pound in her chest.
She was scared, but tried not to show it. Instead, she backed up until she was
flush against the wall, wishing, at that point, that she could back right
through it into the hallway. She leaned back against it with her hands behind
her back, palms resting on the wall.
William moved toward her. He wasn�t
sure exactly what he would demand of her this night. As he neared her, he could
see her body tense.
�Are you afraid of me, Miss Bordon,� he asked.
She shook her head up and down vigorously to
signify yes.
Her actions amused him. He chuckled at this and
smiled at her. His body seemed to tower over hers as he leaned in over her at
the wall. He rested the right hand of his straight arm against it, holding
himself out away from the wall, yet keeping himself close to her. It was
intimidating to Miss Bordon.
�Why, you are as charming as you are beautiful and
shy.�
She said nothing, afraid to answer.
He sensed her fear and wanted to put her at ease.
�Do not be afraid. I won�t hurt you.� The tone of his deep voice was sincere,
and she did ease a wee bit.
He now knew what he wanted of her this evening. He
looked into her scared and pretty face and said, �Kiss me.�
Tess trembled a little as
she looked away. Then, she looked around the room, as if to make sure no one
was watching. Just do it, Tess, she thought. This is all for your Father. He�d do everything in his power to help you. All he wants is
a kiss. So, just kiss him.
Tess Bordon had never kissed a man before. But,
she had seen couples kiss, so, she knew how to do it from watching them.
�Come now,� he coaxed, �I won�t reveal our deal to
anyone nor will I reveal what transpires behind closed doors.�
She inched cautiously away from the wall under his
patient gaze. Tess rose up on to her tiptoes, raised her chin and brought her
face close to William�s. She brushed her lips ever so softly against his, in a
wisp of an innocent peck.
The corners of the Colonel�s mouth curved up into
a slight smile. He pursed his lips as he looked at her. �Now, I want to kiss
you.�
With this, she pushed her body back against the
wall, as if it was some sort of safe haven from him. She was full of crazy
emotions. Besides being fearful and nervous, she was also curious, and felt a
deep desire to be kissed by him. Mostly, she was full of wonderment.
William could see all the mixed emotions within
her in her eyes. He leaned in slowly over her and brought his face down to
hers. She closed her eyes as she felt his lips press softly to hers. He kept
his hands from her, and she did not touch him, either. He just kissed her.
The Colonel kept on with his slow and gentle kiss.
It was so light and tender to her. She felt his lips part as he kissed her. In
response, she parted her own lips and relaxed against his mouth.
Tess felt her knees go weak and began to swoon.
Tavington caught her arm and gently pulled her back up the wall as he ended his
kiss. Her head was spinning. Her first real kiss from a man.
And with that handsome rogue, Colonel Tavington. She
was impressed with how nice the feeling was to kiss someone. She wanted another
one.
Tavington kept silent. He took her hand and pulled
her out from the wall. Once in the middle of the room, her left hand still in
his right, he then slipped his left arm about her waist. He pulled her close to
him with his left as his right hand still clasped her hand down at her side.
She was strangely excited, knowing that he was going to kiss her again.
William dipped his head to hers and kissed her
softly. He deepened the kiss. Tess was startled as she felt his tongue slither
from between his parted lips and invade her mouth. He felt her jump, but held
her tight against him so that she would not get away.
Will felt her relax into this
deep kiss as she let go of his hand.
Her hands traveled upward and rested against his chest, as if she was going to
push him away. But, she didn�t. They kissed for yet
another moment as she relished his warm and soft tongue as it explored her
mouth. When he pulled away from her, she was left breathless.
After Colonel Tavington stepped back from her, he
turned to look at the fire, then at his desk. He was having a delightful time
kissing this innocent girl, but he knew work loomed ahead. Reluctantly, he
would have to end their evening and take back up with her another night.
Geoffrey would be in prison until the Inquest, and who knew when that would be.
Until then, he could take advantage of the situation with Bordon�s
sister and draw out the deal for as long as he wanted. Time was on his side.
William turned back to take his leave of her, and
was taken by surprise. Tess leapt at him and threw her arms around his neck.
She was going to have another kiss from this man.
Her face quickly met his and her mouth crashed
into his with ferocity. She kissed him furiously and fast. Then, she boldly
returned his actions and pushed her tongue into his mouth. He accepted it
willingly. She continued to kiss him hungrily as he slipped his arms around her
waist and held her close to him. One of his hands slipped to her soft bottom,
which he caressed as she slowed the pace of her kiss. Soon, they became light
and slow. Then, she gently pulled away from his mouth with one last gentle
kiss.
The Colonel himself was now breathless and taken
aback. The two of them held to one another, still in their embrace. They weren�t aware that they were both panting as they stared
into each other�s eyes, lost to the moment.
After a minute, they returned to their senses and
pulled gently from each other. Tess suddenly felt shy again.
�Please forgive me, Miss Bordon,� William began in
a polite tone, �but I have a lot of work left yet to do, as you can see on my
desk.�
She nodded her head that she understood. He walked
her to the door. �I will call on you very soon.� He now sounded like he was
back in the midst of a business deal.
As he opened the door, he said, �I have your
brother�s best interests at heart.�
She exited the room and he closed the door behind
her. �And a few of my own interests as well,� he added with a sly smile.
As Tessa Bordon walked down the corridor back to
her room, she was stunned at herself for giving away her integrity to save her
brother. Yet, she enjoyed kissing Colonel Tavington and couldn�t
wait to kiss him again.
Later, as she lay in bed, she was wide awake. She
could not fall asleep. All she could think about was the Colonel�s kiss. Tess
could still feel his lips pressed to hers. She remembered the taste of his
mouth and his smooth, warm tongue. She could still feel her body next to his
and his arms encircling her.
Little did she know that in his room, William lay
awake as well, thinking about kissing her and other things he desired from her.
* * * * * *
For several days after Tess sealed her deal with
Colonel Tavington, he would call on her at his fancy. He never demanded more
from her than her kisses. She was simply amazed at this. She thought him to be
a gentleman, assuming he would ask nothing more of her. Lucky was how she
counted her fate.
Tess found herself still very smitten with the
feeling of the Colonel�s kiss. She was still enthralled at the feeling of his
arms about her and his body close to hers. The girl loved putting her arms
around him. She especially loved the times he would pull her down upon his lap
and kiss her.
A feeling of sin surrounded her that she tried to
reconcile to herself. It was a futile attempt, though. She felt guilty that she
was getting pleasure from his kiss. Tess felt shame, as well, for she found
herself longing for and anxiously awaiting more kisses from him.
She tried to deny her feelings of pleasure. She wasn�t supposed to like this; she was supposed to abhor it.
Tess felt like she should act more like a martyr, complete with pain, disgust,
and suffering at Tavington�s lewd attention, all for
the cause of her father�s freedom.
So, in between her visits to and from the Colonel,
she would busy herself with duties to keep the small Bordon household running.
She also rode to the Fort once a day to visit with her father.
About a week after Geoffrey�s arrest and her
ensuing bargain with Tavington, he sought her company one particular afternoon.
He sauntered down the hall to her residence. Once there, he found the door of
the Bordon suite standing wide open. As he stepped through the doorway, he saw
Redcoat regular army Privates, papers and things strewn about, and Miss Bordon,
standing amidst the room with a distressed look on her face.
He was immediately concerned. �What�s going on?�
He stood next to Tess and looked about. The enlisted men seemed not to notice
that an officer had entered their presence.
�They�re confiscating Geoffrey�s things,� replied
Tessa. She wrung her hands and looked around.
The Colonel cleared his throat. He then did it a
second time. The Privates stopped, looked back, and immediately snapped to
attention.
�What is the meaning of this? What are you doing
here?� he demanded with his usual firm tone.
�We have orders to seize Major Bordon�s
papers,� a young private said.
Tavington put his hand out to signify that he
wanted to view the written order. It was then handed to him. After glancing
through it, he gave it back to the soldier.
�See here,� he began, �There is no reason for you
to make such a mess of the place. I am sure if you tell Miss Bordon what
documents you need, she will be happy to furnish them to you.�
�Sir, we were told to look through the things
ourselves,� the private remarked. �They seemed to think she may try to withhold
or hide some of his papers.�
�No, she won�t,� Tavington replied as he looked
down at Miss Bordon. She looked up at him and shook her head to confirm that
she wouldn�t. �I can assure you that upon my rank. She
will comply and provide you with whatever you need. Miss Bordon?�
With this, she moved toward the soldiers and
looked at their written orders. In a moment, she was moving about the room and
closets, pulling the papers and diaries that they needed. She gave these things
to them without a hassle. After that, they left the room.
Tess stooped to pick up the odds and ends laying
about the room from the careless men. Tavington helped as best he could, picking things up and trying to arrange them into organized
piles about the place. He noticed that she was gazing out the window and had
stopped what she was doing.
�Something the matter?� asked William.
She sighed heavily. �I hope what I have given them
doesn�t incriminate him further.� Tess looked at Tavington with uncertainty in
her eyes.
�On the contrary,� he stated with confidence. �If
he is innocent as he says, then his papers may prove his innocence and help him
in the end.�
�I hope you�re right,� she said.
�Never fear. If he is innocent, it will come out
some way,� assured Tavington.
She nodded her head and began to place things back
on the bureau.
�Would you like to join the officers and myself
for dinner this evening,� asked William.
�Yes,� she answered with a simple smile.
�Ah, splendid,� he replied, smiling down at her.
�It will be good to have a Bordon at the table again.�
He bid her goodbye and left her quarters. Tessa
exhaled slowly and sat down for a moment. She desperately wished for her father
to be the Bordon at that table.
