The Bearskin-Rug: A Collection of 10 short Pride and Prejudice Intimate Variations

By Laura Maybrick

This is a collection of 10 separate intimate short stories for adult readers only, featuring mainly Darcy and Elizabeth, but also other couples from Pride and Prejudice, and it certainly helps to know the original book. Warning: This is not a clean set of romantic short stories and certainly not to be read by anyone under the age of 18!The Bearskin-Rug: One night, while Elizabeth's stay at Netherfield, Darcy has a little, rather embarrassing accident and requires Elizabeth's help.In the Arms of an Angel: Jane and Bingley have just gotten married, but how is a man supposed to perform his marital duties when his wife is such an angel?A certain step towards falling in Love: Accidentally locked out on the terrace during the Netherfield Ball, Elizabeth and Darcy have to find a way back to the ballroom, which proves to be more difficult than anticipated in the glare of the lights from the ball and the shadows in the garden.A somewhat pleasant surprise: Charlotte and Mr Collins just got married, but neither have much of an idea of what to do once the bedroom-door is closed. Help comes from an unexpected source and the results are rather surprising.Ardent Love: Thinking Darcy's proposal to be nothing but a tasteless joke, Elizabeth carelessly accepts him only to find he has been sincere. A long conversation follows and she soon finds that she could easily come to love this man.The Young and the Gay: Wickham has his own designs on Lydia Bennet, and they are far from honourable.A Beautiful Prospect: Visiting Derbyshire with her aunt and uncle, Elizabeth is reluctant to see Pemberley and only agrees to go there after being assured that the Darcys are not there for the summer. However, while waiting for the gardener to show them around the grounds, Elizabeth meets Mr Darcy in the most unexpected place and situation.Mistress of the Parsonage: Charlotte had enough. She is the mistress of Hunsford Parsonage and it is high time Mr Collins acknowledges that!An Afternoon at Oakham Mount: In order to get Darcy out of Bingley's way so he can court Jane in peace, Mrs Bennet sends him and Elizabeth on a long walk to Oakham Mount, not realising that there is yet another happily engaged couple right under her nose that could do with a bit of chaperoning. Marital Pleasures: When the recently married Charles Bingley realises that his friend has no experience with women, he gives him a little advcie right before leaving for Darcy's and Elizabeth's wedding. At first unappreciated, his words proof to be extremely valuable, to make a pleasure out of duty.Note: The volume of this work is approximately 49.000 words of story. Due to a fair amount of block text, the spacing has been increased to 1.5 in order to make reading more convenient, meaning that the pagination is off. This is not to mislead anybody regarding the length of this publication.
