The Old Rose Garden ~ Victorian Romance and Erotica

Summary:
There is an old rose garden across the fields behind Halifax manor in Yorkshire where no one ever comes. Abandoned for years, moss and climbing ivy vines have long ago claimed the wooden pergolas and overgrown the white marble statues around the forgotten pond in the middle of the garden.

No one ever comes there except Georgina; a young woman who everyone thinks is a little bit peculiar ever since that strange accident.

But when her brother hires a couple of workers and a new gardener from the village to help clear up the gardens around the estate, everything will change...

An extract from the story:
"Did you not know that it is forbidden to run in the rose garden?" he mumbled and kissed my hair softly.
"You made that up," I accused him and tried to move away from him; however, he would not let me get away. Instead, he pulled me closer, and kissed and gently nibbled my earlobe. It tickled a little, but I also found it rather exciting, something that I knew he was perfectly aware of. I shivered despite the warm summer day.
"There is a punishment for running in my garden," he continued and left a trail of soft kisses along my throat. I felt his grip around my waist increase slightly, and one of his hands travelled downwards and stroked my lower back. My heart beat faster, which was not entirely a result of having been running.
"There is not." I giggled in protest. "Besides, technically it is my garden and not yours! The old rose garden belongs to my family's estate, after all."
"No one can own a garden, you silly girl. It belongs to the person who takes care of it, of course. Everyone knows that..."
