"Oh, Gods! Oh, Gods! Oh, Gods!" chanted Karina, as tongues delved into her pussy and asshole and flicked back and forth over her sensitive nipples. "I'm going to, I'm going to cummmm!"
Karina's body shook uncontrollably as her hot slit gushed out its juices. Ivin and Andie lapped away at her nectar, causing her to orgasm again and again. Donna and Calla kept on sucking her tits, which only increased the intensity and duration of each orgasm. Eventually, Karina could not cum any more and just laid limp on the table.
"Come, Karina, we need to get you cleaned up," whispered Ivin in her ear.
With the help of the four priestesses, Karina got groggily to her feet. They led her back to the bathroom where another bath had been drawn. Karina sank blissfully back into the tub and smiled contently as the four priestesses washed her and combed out her hair.
"Why are you all smiling?" she asked absent-mindedly. "I was the one who got all the pleasure."
"We get almost as much pleasure from giving as getting," replied Ivin, running a comb through Karina's long ash-blond hair. "It's part of our religion."
Karina was led to bed and tucked in. It was comforting to be treated this way.
"Goodnight," said Ivin as the others put out the lamps. "We'll check on the others and see you in the morning."
"Would you check on Helga?" asked Karina.
"Of course, now, go to sleep."
Karina laid drowsily in the bed, basking in the afterglow of her orgasms. She was satisfyingly exhausted, but could not sleep. Her mind kept thinking of the other people in her group. With an exasperated sigh, Karina got out of the bed and put on a robe.
The hallway was dimly lit by a single lamp, but it was bright enough to see by. Karina went to the door across from her own. It was locked and, even listening carefully, she could not hear anything. At the next door, she twisting the doorknob slowly, cracked open the door and looked inside. Octavia had been assigned to the room and was lying naked on the bed with her head buried between Andie's legs. The priestess was moaning, but her moans were muffled because she was eating out the petite Donna. Donna, in turn, completed the triangle with her head stuck between Octavia's thighs. Karina admired Octavia's magnificent body and the erotic scene for a moment, then quietly closed the door.
"Whew!" thought Karina, fanning her flushed face. "Hey! I'm not overcome by my lust! I wonder if it was because of the earlier sex?"
She stepped across the hallway and listened again. Grunts and squeaking bedsprings punctuated the air from beyond the door. Karina quietly opened the door.
"Oh, yea!" yelled Cendri as the man who had brought up Karina's tray climaxed. His thick prick was sandwiched between Cendri's tits and his jism shot forth to splatter over her neck and face. Another man was kneeling between her legs, his hands cupped under her ass, with his cock shoved deep into her pussy. Karina felt her passion lurch and she closed the door before she lost control.
Behind the third door Gedda and Calla were both on top of a man she didn't recognize. Gedda was riding up and down on his cock as Calla had her leg on either side of his head.
At the last door, Karina could clearly hear Helga groaning. She slowly opened the door to look in. Helga was on her hands and knees. Her body was covered in sweat and trembling with her face buried in the bedcovers. Her ass was sticking up in the air and she was groaning loudly in passion as Ivin, who was kneeling behind her, was fucking her vigorously with a strap-on dildo. Karina watched mesmerized as the artificial phallus plunged in and out of Helga's wet pussy. Without missing a beat, Ivin looked over at the slightly opened door and smiled at Karina. She motioned with her head to come and join them. Karina smiled, shook her head no and closed the door.
Walking back down the hallway, Karina felt at ease with herself. She was not sleepy, so she wandered around the temple and soon found herself overlooking the main temple floor from a balcony. The floor had been laid in mosaic tile and the images were beautiful.
"Pretty, aren't they?" came a voice from behind Karina.
Karina spun around only to see Adelpha and a figure who could only be another goddess walking towards her. Both of them were surrounded by a soft, glowing radiance. The other goddess was dressed in brown and gold robes. Her dark hair was pulled up on top of her head and she moved with a stately, regal air.
"Adelpha," greeted Karina with a curtsy.
"Demare wanted to meet you,' said Adelpha, indicating the other goddess.
"Well, she does worship me," said Demare, in a full, rich voice. "I was curious what games Adelpha was playing with Ahhspah, and how you were faring."
"And how am I faring?" asked Karina.
Demare smiled at her. "You seem a resourceful woman."
"How is Tenan doing? I mean, is he well?"
Demare waved her hand in the air. A shimmering ball formed there, enticing a gasp from Karina. The center of the ball of light cleared and Karina saw an image of Tenan riding across a meadow with Gar lumbering along by his side. The image then faded from view as the ball disappeared.
"He's well," said Demare. "I am concerned with your extra-marital affairs, though."
Adelpha snorted. "We've been having this argument for centuries, Demare. Who does it hurt?"
"That young girl, Helga, for one. Your priestess is practically raping her now."
Adelpha's eyes turned upward and she appeared lost in thought. She then broke out in a wide smile. "I think it's the other way around now," she said, smugly.
Demare gave her a dirty look, which caused Adelpha to chuckle. She then turned to Karina. "Do you love Tenan?"
"Yes, I do. I don't know why I keep having sex all the time."
"There!" said Adelpha to Demare. "She loves him. That's all there is to it."
"Would you be upset or angry if Tenan fucked every woman he met?" Demare asked bluntly.
Karina thought about it for a couple of moments and said, "No, it's strange, but no. I wouldn't be. I know he loves me and the others would be just, um, just some form of satisfaction."
Demare sighed. "I think Ahhspah has tampered with more than just your body. I'm going to go and have a talk with him. Good luck, Karina," and she disappeared.
"Will she have any influence over him?" asked Karina.
"I doubt it," replied Adelpha. "At least, not under these circumstances."
"I wanted to thank you for all that you have done for Per," said Karina. "You've been a great help to him."
"You're welcome," said Adelpha and then her face grew thoughtful. "I just had a thought that needs to be examined. Go to sleep. Your friends' activities are winding down and you still have a long way to go. Here."
Adelpha handed Karina a necklace. The pendant was a silver circle, about an inch and a half in diameter, suspended from a silver chain.
"If you get lonely, grasp the circle and call out the name of the person you wish to see," Adelpha told Karina. "An image of that person will appear. Be careful whose name you call out."
"Thank you," said Karina and she went off to bed to rest for the journey tomorrow.
Chapter 6: A Special Surprise
It had been four days since Karina had left the Temple of Adelpha. Her group now included Ivin, who had startled everyone as they prepared to leave Tectin by walking out of the temple in burnished scalemail and a thick kilt. An open-faced, high-winged helmet adorned her head, a round shield was affixed to her left arm, and she carried two wicked-looking maces.
"Aren't you contradicting your religion with those?" asked Gedda, pointing at the weapons Ivin was carrying.
"Maybe," she replied, unconcerned, "but I'm not foolish enough to believe that all my neighbors want to follow the teachings of love and peace. Sometimes, you just have to beat some sense into folk to make them understand that love is the way."
Ivin turned out not only to be an excellent equestrian, but she also had an inexhaustible supply of dirty jokes, songs and limericks, which both shocked and delighted everyone else. Octavia, Cendri and Gedda joined in
with jokes and songs they knew and the miles passed quickly. The six women were now approaching the city of Cific, the last known location of Alana, the halfling thief who was the first to join up with Per.
"Any ideas of how we'll find her in here?" asked Karina as they passed through the east gate of the city.
"You don't," replied Gedda. "That'll be solely up to me. I'll need five silver pieces to find her, if I can borrow them. Let's get settled at an inn and I'll put out the word that you want to talk to her if she's still here."
After asking around, they went to the Greenspring Inn, a moderately priced tavern known for its good food and pleasant atmosphere. The proprietor welcomed them and assigned them their rooms.
After they had unpacked, Gedda left to make contact with the thieves and cutthroats who would pass the word on to Alana. Karina and the others settled down in the taproom of the inn. After several minutes of dead silence between them, Octavia stood up.
"Well I'm not just going to wait for Gedda to get back. After four days on the road, I could use a drink - I'm going out to hit some bars."
"Can I come with you?" asked Ivin.
"Sure, one should never go drinking alone."
"Will you be alright if I go along with them?" Cendri asked Karina.
"Why in the world would you want to come along?" teased Octavia.
"If nothing else than to keep you two out of trouble," snipped Cendri. "Although, keeping Octavia out of trouble is impossible."
Karina laughed along with everyone else. "Go ahead," she said. "Octavia's right. We'll go crazy just sitting here and waiting. Helga and I can head to the market and replenish our supplies. Unless, you wanted to go with them, Helga?"
Helga shook her head. "Great. Give me a list of what you need and include the things Gedda might want."
"Gedda doesn't need anything," said Octavia cryptically.
"Of course not, she just borrows anything she needs," added Cendri. "She does have that bad habit of never returning things though."
Karina and Helga headed for the market, while Octavia, Cendri and Ivin took off for parts unknown. They spent the rest of the day shopping for items that had been lost, broken or used up. Helga was amicable, but Karina sensed that she had something on her mind. It was dinnertime by the time the two of them returned to the inn with their parcels. They put the items they had bought in their rooms and went to supper.
"Karina, can we talk privately?" asked Helga shyly as they finished eating.
"Sure, let's go up to your room."
Their rooms were furnished identically. Each had a queen-size bed, a dresser, a chair, and a small round table in it. Needlepoint pictures, no doubt done by the proprietor's wife adorned the wall. Helga plopped down on the bed, but refused to look Karina in the eye.
"Karina, I..." Helga started to say before falling silent.
"There is nothing so bad that we can't talk about it," said Karina. "Is this about you and Ivin?"
"How did you know?" exclaimed Helga, raising her head swiftly to look at Karina.
"Adelpha told me in the temple that night," said Karina, deciding quickly to keep quiet about her nocturnal peeping.
"Adelpha!" gasped Helga, open-mouthed.
"Close your mouth before you swallow a fly. She also said you had good form for what you were doing."
Helga lowered her eyes and blushed furiously. "You're not upset?"
"I love you," said Karina, getting up and coming over to the bed to put an arm around the girl. "I also love Tenan, Per and even Gar. I told you that we would find you someone some day."
"But I love you!" said Helga emphatically.
"Isn't your heart big enough to love more than one person at a time?" asked Karina with a warm smile. "Is what you feel for Ivin the same as what you feel for me?"
"No! Yes. Oh, I don't know," said Helga in frustration. "I know what I feel. I don't know how to put it into words. I'm not even sure how Ivin feels."
"Ask her," said Karina, standing up.
Helga snagged Karina's hand and held it to her cheek. "Don't go," she said with longing in her eyes.
"Helga, I don't want to hurt you or confuse you more," said Karina patiently.
"I know," said Helga, turning Karina's hand over to kiss the palm. "Maybe Ivin will feel the way I do. Maybe it will be someone else. For right now, I'm satisfied that someone loves me and I can return those feelings. At least, I'm feeling something now. I couldn't before."
Karina gently pulled Helga to her feet. Cupping her face with her hands, Karina tilted Helga's head and kissed her softly on the lips. Helga sighed with contentment and returned the kiss. Karina's hands stroked up and down her neck and back as the kiss continued. Helga's tongue flicked out to lightly lick Karina on the lips.
Karina took a step back and the two women looked at each other with conspiratorial smiles. She slowly undid the tie in the front of Helga's bodice and then slipped her dress off her shoulders. The dress fell to the floor around Helga's ankles and she stepped out of it. Helga bent down to remove her shoes and then knelt in front of Karina to remove Karina's greaves.
Karina removed her swordbelt and bracers and began unbuckling her padded armor. Helga stood back up to help Karina out of it. Karina breathed a sigh of relief as her breasts, which had been tightly imprisoned in the armor, sprang free. Karina pulled the underpadding off over her head and removed the rest of her undergarments.
"Does it hurt?" asked Helga, lightly touching the impressions left on Karina's breasts by the padded armor.
"No, just uncomfortable to wear," said Karina as she began to massage some feeling back into her tits.
Helga moved around behind Karina and gently kneaded her shoulders and back. Karina stretched and moaned under her ministrations. Helga then moved around in front and softly massaged each of her large breasts with her hands. Karina licked her dry lips as her passion began to flare up. She grasped the bottom of Helga's blouse and slowly pulled it off.
Karina stepped forward and kissed Helga again, their breasts and hard nipples brushing up against one another. Helga broke the kiss to pull Karina over to the bed. They kissed again with more passion, their tongues dueling together. Their hands wandered over the other's body, caressing breasts, stroking necks, and touching arms. Helga nuzzled at Karina's throat and made to move lower, but was stopped.
"No, dear, I'll do you first."
Karina moved Helga over so that she was lying on her back then dipped her mouth down to the rosebud of Helga's left nipple. Helga gasped as she felt her nipple and areola get sucked up into Karina's mouth. She moaned as Karina's tongue slithered wetly around and over the hard nub.
Karina's hand slid down over Helga's stomach and pubic hair. Helga wrapped her arms around Karina's head and shoulders as Karina's finger rubbed over the outer lips of her cunt. Peeling the lips apart, Karina was pleased as she felt Helga's juices ooze out. She put a finger right on top of her clit, causing Helga to squirm in delight.
Helga began to breathe heavily as Karina's finger moved in small circles over her clit. Helga's right hand came up to grip her breast tightly in her passion. Karina continued to suck at the other tit and lash at the nipple with her tongue.
Her cunt became wetter as Helga squirmed and moaned. Her passion increased as Karina left off her clitoris and slipped one, then two fingers into into her hot slit. Karina stopped sucking on the breast in her mouth and started rocking back and forth in time to her fingers fucking in and out of Helga's pussy.
Helga was gasping heavily as her eyes remained locked with Karina's. Her arms trembled down by her side and her cunt became sopping wet as Karina's fingers wormed their way deeper inside. Karina could sense that Helga was close and fucked her fingers in and out of her cunt faster. Helga's breath caught before she began to hyperventilate as her passion took off like a rocket. Suddenly, she cried out and her hips arched upward. Her pussy gushed out its juices over Karina's fingers as she orgasmed. Helga's arms spasmed and her hands slapped upward
to clutch Karina's hanging tits. Karina gasped and was surprised that she almost orgasmed from the pain.
Helga must have seen the pain on Karina's face because she immediately released Karina's breasts, although her body continued to buck and shudder in the throes of her orgasm. It took a few moments for Helga to regain her breath.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to grab them that way," she gasped out when she was able to.
"I've never had anyone try to swing from them before," said Karina with a wry smile. "I'm okay. How about you?"
"Oh, Gods, that was wonderful!" exclaimed Helga as she got up on her knees. "Now, it's your turn if you're game to try something."
"You mean try something like the last time when you wanted to see if Ahhspah's modifications were real?" chuckled Karina. "Sure, what is it?"
"It's a surprise. Turn around and get on your hands and knees facing the foot of the bed. Don't look."
Karina gave Helga a quizzical stare, but did as Helga requested. She felt Helga move around to the head of the bed and heard some jingling. Karina shivered in anticipation and uncertainty. Helga moved around behind her.
"Let's see how hot you are," cooed Helga. She leaned forward and began kissing and nipping at Karina's buttocks. One hand slid up Karina's thigh and rubbed right over her pussy. Karina already knew her cunt was wet and ready.
"Ooh, looks like someone's all excited," said Helga softly. She massaged Karina's clit, just as Karina had done to her earlier.
Karina moaned as Helga's finger became slick from her juices. She felt her body become hot and her breathing heavier. Helga slid two fingers from Karina's clitoris and very, very slowly slipped them into Karina's pussy. Karina's body shook as Helga slowly fucked her fingers in and out of her.
"Let me know when you are ready for your surprise," Helga whispered into Karina's ear.
"I'm more than ready," gasped Karina in passion.
Karina felt Helga pull her fingers out of her cunt and kneel behind her. She then felt something cool and slick touch the outer lip of her pussy. Karina moaned again and shivered as Helga grasped Karina's hips with both hands. The cool object pushed its way deep into Karina's hot pussy and her cunt stretched apart to accommodate the hard object. Helga's hips and legs pressed up against Karina's as the hard shaft embedded itself into Karina's vagina.
