Chapter 8: More of the Beginning

My new wife and I woke late the next morning. Then we
cuddled against each other for even longer. A tentative rap
on the door, and a maidservant enquiring if she could
prepare the bath finally disturbed us. I acknowledged that I
would be most pleased if she would. The girl opened the door
as I pulled a light blanket over our nude forms and she gave
Mia a happy smile. As she supervised the filling of the tub
by two large slaves, I asked her to bring us a breakfast in
one hour. She nodded obediently, then escorted the slaves
from the room. I helped Mia to her feet, and led her to the
tub. I noticed it was noticeably less full then the other
times I’d used it, and I laughed to myself when I considered
why. Mia looked at me curiously wondering what I was amused
about, but I simply smiled and helped her into the tub.  The
water level rose and I laughed aloud. Then I followed her.

Mia had bathed me several times before. I took great
pleasure in bathing her for the first time. She seemed to
enjoy it as well. When we were finished, we were both clean,
and Mia was very relaxed. We were just stepping out when the
maid again knocked, this time announcing breakfast. With a
call of “Enter”, I wrapped a thick towel around my lady and
began to dry her. I also whispered in her ear, enquiring as
to the maid’s name. She replied softly.

“Kiro, I have a meeting to attend this afternoon. I want you
to arrange an escort for me to Mistress Nalita’s estate. I
also want you to arrange for a seamstress to attend
Mialibao. Oh, we also need to find a maidservant for her.” I
grinned at the nodding girl. “Is there anyone you would
recommend?”

She was going to answer when she looked up and saw my
teasing grin, then blushed and looked at her hands. “Umm, no
Master, I don’t know anyone who could accept such a duty.”
Mia looked at me like I was mad.

When Kiro finished serving us, she closed the door behind
her. “What are doing, Master?” Mia asked.

“Mia, I am a wealthy man.” She nodded, knowing this. “The
wife of a wealthy man should be well dressed. Don’t you
agree?” She nodded for a moment, then looked at me in shock.
“You thought last night was a dream, didn’t you. You didn’t
truly believe me when I called you wife. I hope you will
never forget I truly mean it.”

She leaned over and wrapped her arms around me and sniffled.
“My husband, I will never forget.”

As I kissed her head, another thought occurred to me. “We
need to find a jeweler.” Again she looked at me in
confusion. I explained. “Among my people, we seal the oath
of marriage with rings. I want to do the same with you.”

“All right,” she said hesitantly, but then more firmly, “But
why did you tease Kiro?”

“Because she looked at you like a friend. Am I wrong there?”

“No, but…. My husband, what happens now? My parents sold me
to Akira when I was eight. These are the only people I have
for friends! Will you drive them away?” She looked like she
might cry.

I wrapped her in my arms. “No, but I was going to give you a
wedding present. I was going to give Kiro to you for a
handmaiden. And if you desire, I’ll hold the candle while
you burn her ownership documents with her.” She made to kiss
me so suddenly she bumped her head on my chin, and made my
eyes water. And I noticed when they cleared she was rubbing
the top of her head while she kissed me.

“I’d guess you think it’s a good idea, then.” She just
grinned at me.

Before I left, I arranged for Kiro to attend to Mia while
the seamstress began to produce a wardrobe for her, and when
they were both occupied, I explained my intent to Akira. He
wasn’t thrilled to lose two girls in two days, but we came
to an agreement.

At noon, I dropped the knocker on the entryway to Mistress
Nalita’s home. The door was opened by a young girl I hadn’t
met before, although, I suspected she was the sister of the
bodyguard that had moved Mia out of Dalon’s grasp that day
months before. “Master Erlic to speak with Mistress Nalita,
please.” The girl stepped aside, motioned me in, and led me
to a sitting room.

“Mistress is attending to a minor matter, Master Erlic. She
invites you to refreshment while you wait.”

I thanked the girl with a shake of my head, then looked
around when she left the room. I was in a large room, with
several comfortable chairs and couches, and small tables
beside the chairs and in front of the couches. It took me a
moment, but then I realized the furnishings would have
looked appropriate in any wealthy man’s house back home.
Very different from what I had become accustomed to here in
Nasai.

A few moments later, soft footfalls could be heard
approaching, and I turned to the doorway. Today, her flaming
locks hung loosely down to the middle of her back. Her
blouse was light blue silk this time, but it again clung to
her, and again, I tried not notice she wore no chemise. Her
skirt was indigo colored velvet, and I noted she wore a pair
of  leather sandals. She had very pretty toes. Then I
remembered my manners and offered a deep bow.

“Welcome to my home, Erlic, son of Gustaf.” She took my hand
in welcome, then laughed and tipped my head down slightly to
meet her eyes. They were still the most beautiful green I’d
ever seen, and her freckles seemed to glow against her pale
skin. “And it pleases me very much when a man admires me.” I
could feel myself blushing. I’d hoped she wouldn’t realize
I’d been  gawking. “When we are alone, feel free to enjoy my
presence, but don’t allow yourself to become tongue-tied. I
have no patience for foolish boys. Take no offense, but when
you are as old as I, a man of twenty four is still a boy.”

I looked at her closely, and spoke before I thought. “Oh
yes, a woman perhaps thirty six is so much older.” It
sounded sarcastic even to my ears, and I was getting ready
to apologize humbly when she let out a delighted chortle.

“Oh, my friend, you are a delight! I could kiss you for your
words, but we’ll get to that later.” And I began to wonder
what I had gotten into with this partnership. “Now, tell me
what happened after you left me last night.”

I told her of my visit with Mia, and she nodded with a smile
as I admitted I’d bought her from Akira.  She grinned when I
told her of burning the document. She was a bit surprised
that I still considered myself married this morning. “So,
you are serious about the girl, then. And her child? Will
you care for it too? Even if I told you it was Dalon’s?”
When I looked up startled she smiled. “No, I actually know
it wasn’t his, but I wanted you to realize that you don’t
know who’s it is. But I think you don’t care, as long it is
Mialibao’s.”

I nodded, but when I mentioned my hope to give the child
siblings, a shadow seemed to touch her, but it passed before
I was certain.

“Well, I think I’ll need to gift the happy couple on the
occasion of their nuptials. And I have the perfect gift. But
I’ll show you tomorrow night. For now, I expect you to keep
a bargain we made.”

She took my hand and pulled me to my feet. Then led me
deeper into the house. “We have an agreement. You are my
partner now. And you’ll learn more about this part of the
world then any man from the east ever has. But when I gave
you the use of my ships, I told you that I would require
payment. You agreed. I told you what the payment would be,
but I know you were too polite to interpret it honestly. But
I am demanding your first payment now.” And she led me into
her chambers and shut the door behind me.

I spun to the door, but she was already unbuttoning her
blouse. “Mistress Nalita, I don’t think I should….”

“Then don’t think. Come over here and undress me. I told you
before, all on the docks do my bidding. I am bidding you to
pleasure me. Now, I know you worry about Mia, and your vow
to her. This has nothing to do with your wife. You don’t
have to tell her, but if you do, she’ll tell you what I say
now. The only choice you have to make is whether or not to
enjoy what comes.”

Her blouse was open now, and I saw her breasts for the first
time. They were like small coconuts, maybe a third larger
then Mia’s, but firm and upright. Her aureole stood out in
sharp contrast to the pale of her skin, and her nipples were
like a baby’s fingertip. I moved past her and put my hand on
the chamber door.

Her hand closed around my throat and she lifted me off the
floor. I know I outweighed her by seven stone,  but her
strength was immense, and she held me easily as I gasped and
gagged. She carried me by the throat to her bedchamber, and
tossed me across her bed. “Erlic, I have no wish to hurt
you. Truly I don’t. But I need you. And I need this from
you.” She shrugged her blouse off and untied the lacing of
her skirt. It slid easily off her hips and pooled at her
feet. The thought that flew through my mind was “Why do her
pubes look groomed?”  “Please don’t make me hurt you. I
promise, if you let me, I can make this the most magnificent
experience you have enjoyed in your young life. I’ll teach
you  things that will make Mia weep with pleasure when you
use them upon her.”

I realized the truth. If I refused, Nalita would take what
she needed, and Mia would be a widow. And I would not do
that to Mia. As much as I adored her, I wanted a lifetime
with her. And to have that lifetime with her, I made a
sacrifice. I nodded agreement.

Nalita undressed me. Even in my state of distress, it was a
wondrous and sensual experience. It felt like she kissed
every inch of my body, with great attention to areas I’d
have expected and even more to others that I’d never dreamed
would make me squirm in delight. Then she lay back and gave
me a teasing smile. “Now, show me what you have learned from
Mia so far.”

I started by kissing her forehead, and moving lower. My lips
caressed her eyelids and traced her cheekbones. We kissed
long and passionately when our lips met, then I kissed her
chin and along her jawlines. I kissed up and down her neck
and throat, and she whimpered in delight as I nuzzled her
neck just below the ear.

I kissed the top of her chest, and along her bosom. She
groaned when I took her nipples between my lips, and gasped
as I bit lightly. Then she shocked me. “Bite me, Erlic. Bite
my nipple.” I tried to raise my head, but she wrapped her
arms around my head and held me to her breast. “Bite hard! I
want you to draw blood.”

I tried to shake my head in refusal. “Do it, Erlic! Try to
bite it off. I need you to hurt me this way. DO IT, GODDESS
DAMNYOU!!!”

I bit her, hard. My teeth ground the stiff flesh of her
nipple, I honestly tried to bite it off. Then I felt her
flailing beneath me, and realized she was climaxing at my
viciousness. Her screams of pleasure filled my ears, and
then I tasted blood.

It welled from her harshly injured nipple, and coated my
tongue. And my mind split apart like an overripe melon. I
saw Nalita as a child, in an ancient city of marble and
columns. And again, as the woman I held, in the same city,
now brought to ruin by eons. Images rushed through my mind
as ages flashed by, history as seen through one person’s
eyes. Then I began to tremble and shake violently. Spasms of
pain drove through me. A thousand white-hot needles pierced
my flesh, and all of the muscles in my body cramped into
charley horses.  Then I heard ten thousand voices scream in
agony, until they blended into a single voice, my own. And
then the pain passed, and I lay on top of Nalita, my cheeks
wet with tears and soaked in the sweat of fear and pain.

And someone lifted me off her, and carried me to a large
granite pool. The water steamed around me, and someone
stepped in the pool behind me. I jumped as their naked
breasts pressed against my back as they reached for soap and
cloth. “Sit, let me wash you. You smell like you’ve been on
a ship for six months without water.”

I didn’t know if I should be offended or not. “What
happened?” is what I asked.

“Your body has changed. It was something that had to happen,
for you to be what I need you to be. The pain you felt will
never come again. After this, it will feel like the most
glorious climax you’ve dreamed of. You will look forward to
it.” I doubted this. I could feel her chuckle behind me, and
she reached around me. “Let me show you.” She took me in
hand and began to caress me. Against my will, I began to
respond. Then she rested her other arm over my shoulder. Her
wrist was cut and bleeding. I felt myself wilt. “Trust me,
Erlic. You know I won’t hurt you again.”

I didn’t believe her. My mind screamed “run!”, but I turned
my head to the bloody wrist beside my face. I tried to force
myself away from her, but my lips caressed her arm. Then I
smelled the copper of her blood. I thought I was going to be
sick. But I licked her wrist, and let the blood coat my
tongue again. And I was instantly hard. My staff throbbed
under the water, flexing against my belly. I didn’t
ejaculate, but I felt like I had just poured a wineskin of
juices from my loins.

Then Nalita was in front of me, and straddling me. She
settled on to my shaft, and her vagina caressed every inch
on the way down. When I was buried within her, she placed
her hands on my shoulders and began to raise and lower
herself on my erection. She set a speedy pace, and her tight
sex gripped my staff with each stroke. “Touch me, Erlic.
Caress my clitoris as I ride you.” I was confused for a
moment. What was a klitturrus? Then she took my hand and
rubbed my thumb against the tiny button that pleased Mia so
much. “This is my clitoris. Rub it gently for now.”

She began to sigh as she moved up and down. “Oh goddess, I
knew you’d be a marvelous lover. Rub me harder now, please.
Ohhhhhyyyeeessss, that feels wonderful.” She wrapped her
arms around my neck , then got her feet on the floor of the
pool  and began to raise herself by standing on her toes and
back down. “Harder, rub harder,
ohhhhhggggggooooodddddeeeesssss, harder, harder,
ohhhhyyyyyesssssssss!!” Then she let her feet slip from
under her, and slammed herself down to engulf me completely.
Her climax wrapped the walls of her sex around my penis and
began to milk my shaft. With a groan, I could feel myself
erupt within her, each blast coating her womb. Then I drove
my hips against her and I came again with a massive groan,
as I felt her lips against my throat and her teeth rip my
skin. I could feel the blood pulse across my skin with each
beat of my heart, as I could feel my cock throb in
counterpoint. And I could feel myself growing sleepy. But I
could hear her voice, “sleep, rest, recover. You will not
remember all of this, but you will remember the pleasure,
and  you will wish to visit me often. You will know when I
need you, and you will come to me. And I will reward you.
Now sleep, and rest, then go home, and make the woman you
adore happy.”
