Karina took no notice of the tray of fruit or the slice of cake placed in front of her. She felt hot and the glasses of water she quaffed down did little to ease her discomfort. She barely noticed Bargan talking to Tessa, but quickly averted her eyes when she found herself admiring his muscular profile.
"Are you alright?" asked Helga, leaning over towards Karina. "You look flushed."
"Too much wine," murmured Karina, trying to keep her eyes off Bargan. Helga stared at Karina's untouched wineglass. She turned to Octavia and the two of them whispered back and forth to each other. They then walked over to talk quietly to Bargan and Tessa.
Karina squirmed in her seat, unconscious that her legs were rubbing together as she fought to keep her lust in check. Her nipples were rock hard and poked out the soft cotton material of her blouse. Every movement that Karina made seemed to rasp the sensitive nubs against the cloth.
Tessa pulled a bell cord and four men walked into the room. Each man was in his early twenties with a superb muscular build and wearing a short toga. Tessa turned towards the table.
"Ladies, we have baths drawn for each of you. Helga, will you please follow His Grace and, Lady Karina, if you will follow me? The attendants will show the rest of you to your baths and rooms. Your luggage and gear has already been brought up."
"Great service, Bargan," commented Cendri, eyeing the attendants. "How big is your staff?"
Everyone jumped as Karina guffawed and then went into a coughing fit. Karina turned away as she felt the heat radiating off her face. Her clothing had become unbearably tight and Karina struggled to regain some of her composure.
"We used to have twenty-three working in the temple, including myself, as of the day before yesterday," said Bargan to Cendri, allowing Karina to collect herself. "I'm not sure what we have now because some of the faces I've seen are new."
"Fifty-eight, Your Grace," said Tessa, matter-of-factly.
"I see," said Bargan, in a tone that spoke volumes. He held out an arm. "Helga, if you will permit me the honor of escorting you..."
Helga looked around, momentarily confused, before putting her hand on Bargan's arm. They walked out the door and were followed by each attendant escorting Octavia, Ivin, Gedda, and Cendri. After they left, Tessa turned to Karina.
"Lady Karina, will you please follow me?"
"Please just call me Karina, Tessa. Too many titles make life stuffy. I..." Karina shook her head to try and think clearly. "I'm sorry. I'm sort of in a daze right now."
Tessa smiled. "We can talk later, but, for now, just relax."
Karina let some of the tenseness out. Her body tingled and felt hot from her lust, but it did not overpower her as it had before. She idly wondered if it was because she had only seen the back of the man in the hallway instead of his front. She stood up and a feeling like small electric jolts coursed from her nipples through her breasts as her shirt was pulled over the hard points.
Tessa led Karina to a luxurious bathroom. A large sunken tub was in the center of the room and it was filled with hot, scented water. Several couches were lined up against the walls and there was a door on the far wall opposite of the one they had entered through.
"May I assist you?" asked Tessa.
"No offense, but why you?" asked Karina as Tessa led her over to a couch to remove her footwear.
"Normally, His Grace would be filling this role," said Tessa as she helped Karina undress. "However, since you changed that arrangement, I am here for you."
Tessa only made a small gasp as Karina's huge breasts sprung out as her shirt was removed. She let Karina slip into the hot water before picking up Karina's clothes and placing them outside the door in the hallway. Tessa then walked back over to the sunken tub.
"You haven't answered my question on if I can assist you," she reminded Karina.
"What? Oh, um, I guess so."
Tessa reached behind her and undid the cords and fasteners of her dress. As she took off her dress, it was now Karina's turn to be impressed. Although Tessa could not match Karina's measurements, she had a body that was right up there with Melinar and Octavia. But her large, heavy breasts and well-rounded hips were matched by her air of sexuality beyond anything Karina had ever known. Tessa laid her dress across a couch, picked up a pitcher, and came back to the tub to sit on the edge behind Karina.
Karina closed her eyes as Tessa filled the pitcher from the bath and poured the steaming water over Karina's head. Karina sighed in bliss as Tessa shampooed her hair and rinsed it clean. She almost moaned when Tessa began to wash her gently with a soft cloth.
Karina libido never subsided. Although relaxed, Karina was managing to hold her lust in check, despite Tessa's soapy hands sliding over Karina's huge, slick tits and the rest of her body. Tessa finished up, then toweled Karina dry and combed out her hair. Finally, she produced a powder-puff and powdered Karina's body.
"Feeling better?" asked Tessa.
"Somewhat," replied Karina. "I do have a question for you, though."
"Ask away."
"My son is Per, the half-ogre," said Karina. "This quest I'm on is to find the women my son has made love to or who may have influenced him greatly. I understand you are one of these women. I have to ask you if you will take part in an ogre ritual of ascension. Per is supposed to make love to you and all the other women during the ritual, which lasts for a week. The consequences of not performing the ritual could kill Per."
"I would have to discuss this with His Grace," said Tessa. "I can't give you an answer until I do."
"Talk also with High Priestess Ivin," suggested Karina. "She has agreed to participate and has some insight that could prove helpful to you."
"I shall," said Tessa, as she stood up. "Come."
Tessa led Karina through the other door into a spacious bedroom. Elegant wood dressers, bureaus, end tables, and chairs were in the room, but the bed dominated it all. It was eight feet wide and twelve feet long, covered with golden silk sheets, which offset the rich blue walls of the room. Karina just stood in the doorway, mesmerized by what she saw.
"Come," said Tessa, gently pulling Karina over to the bed. "Lie down and close your eyes."
Karina did as Tessa asked. The silk sheets felt cool against her skin and she moaned slightly as Tessa began to massage her back. After a few minutes, Tessa leaned down. " Karina, I have to leave. Someone will take my place so do not be startled. Just keep your eyes closed and enjoy."
Karina moaned her assent as she rubbed her body against the sheets. Her lust had started to build up slowly during her bath and massage. Karina ground her nipples into the mattress in an effort to diminish the tightness she felt in them. She could feel her pussy seep out moisture as her loins burned hotter.
"Shhh," came a soft, hush from a new voice close to her ear.
Karina kept her eyes closed as a pair of hands began to massage her back again. Karina gasped and her eyes snapped wide open because no sooner did the fingers touch her back than her mind split into six parts. She was herself and five other people. Her part knew her body was in the huge bed getting her back massaged by some unknown person.
Another part of her mind was in Helga's mind, seeing and feeling what Helga saw and felt. She was laying face down in a bed and Bargan, wearing only a towel around his waist, was massaging her back. Karina was amazed that she could feel Bargan's fingers expertly knead Helga's back, while her own part of her mind could feel her own back being massaged. She could also feel a sort of panic welling up inside Helga at what was happening to her.
"It's alright, Helga," said Bargan softly. "It's a gift from Adelpha." Bargan looked upward slightly exasperated. "Although, I do wish Her Divineness would give a little warning." A silver bell blinked into existence over Bargan's head, rang once, and then disappeared.
The third part of Karina's mind was inside Cendri's mind. The young woman was sitting in a six-foot square tub with two young men on either side of her. Through Cendri's thoughts, Karina knew that one of the men was
the bath attendant who Cendri had invited to stay and the other had come out of the bedroom when Cendri called for him. Cendri was swapping passionate kisses with both of them as they caressed her breasts. Karina could feel their fingers fondling Cendri's pert tits and pinching her hard nipples. Karina could also feel their hard cocks as Cendri stroked each one with a hand under the water.
The fourth part was inside Ivin's mind. Karina saw through Ivin's eyes that Ivin was being carried by three men into the bedroom from the bath. The men were tall, muscular, and their hard cocks jutted out as they placed her in the center of the bed.
Karina sensed confusion in Ivin's mind. Ivin had once perverted her deity's orders by demanding others gave here pleasure. She had been taught the error of her ways and had never strayed again, but now that she was a guest in Bargan's temple, her role of providing pleasure was again reversed. Ivin knew she should relax and enjoy, but there was also the fear that Adelpha would not approve of her being on the receiving end.
Karina was lucky that each part of her mind was separate; otherwise the fifth split would have scared her to death. Through Gedda's eyes, Karina saw that Gedda was climbing up a rope to a support beam about sixty feet above a gymnasium floor. Gedda was naked and Karina could feel the scratchy rope rub against her skin. Gedda looked over and Karina saw another rope hanging down about ten feet away. A naked, red-haired man was climbing up it, keeping pace with Gedda. They both reached the support truss at the same time and climbed up onto the six-inch wide beam. Thrills of exhilaration coursed through Gedda's body.
Despite Gedda's precarious position, it was the final part of Karina's mind that astonished her the most.
Octavia was in a spacious bedroom and lying down on a large bed with silk sheets. What had astounded Karina was the fact that she was tied down spread-eagled on the bed with a gag in her mouth. Karina could feel the softness and strength of the silken sashes binding Octavia's wrists and ankles. She tasted the texture of the gag as Octavia's tongue ran over it. A blond man, about thirty years old, sat in a chair facing Octavia. He rubbed his chin as he contemplated Octavia's desires and her level of frustration for him to begin. Karina sensed Octavia's frustration, even though she requested this. A thought flitted through that part of Karina's mind that Octavia wanted to try something new and different. She had told Bargan that she wanted to have no control over what happened tonight. What had surprised Octavia was that as soon as the man had secured her, he sat down and did nothing.
"Shhh," hushed a voice in Karina's own ear as the person with her started massaging her lower back. Karina remembered what Tessa had said and closed her eyes. Her lustful desire had not diminished and she wished the hands would just grab her ass to relieve some of the tightness she felt there. Karina wiggled her shoulders to mash her huge breasts and hard nipples into the mattress. Her lust was growing stronger, yet she could distinctly see, hear, and feel what the other five women were doing. Karina moaned and spread her legs apart as the hands massaging her back slid lower over her ass. One hand gently roamed over her round buttocks as the other slipped down to rub up and down over her wet slit. Karina gasped in approval as a middle finger slowly, but firmly wormed its way into her hot, tight vagina.
Helga was on her back with Bargan lying beside her. His tongue licked lightly over her apple-sized breasts, flicking every now and then over her pointy nipples. Helga had her arm draped around his shoulders and was gasping for air as his expert fingers played with her clitoris. Karina could feel both the rise of Helga's sexual tension and the exquisite delight of Bargan's fingers, which was causing that rise. Helga gasped and shook as Bargan's thumb traced up the length of her pussy and then slid all the way inside her.
Slowly, he began to fuck his thumb in and out of her. Helga moaned as her passion soared. A low cry began at the base of Helga's throat and she screamed out, burying Bargan's head in her tits, as her hips arched upward in the throes of her orgasm. Karina felt Helga's juices flow out and over Bargan's fingers. Bargan was still manipulating Helga's clit and, before her first orgasm had a chance to fade, a second, more powerful one exploded inside her. Helga cried out in her delight.
Cendri was going hot and heavy with her companion and bath attendant. The attendant one finger inside her as he sucked on her tits. Cendri was above average in the breast department, but not close to matching the very large proportions of Melinar and Octavia. She was passionately kissing her companion and Karina marveled that she could feel and taste his tongue. Cendri's hands were stroking his hard cock as his hands played with her free breast.
Ivin was surrounded by men on three sides. The two men to her right and left had each grabbed a breast to suckle and nibble on. They nuzzled her neck as their fingers roamed over the upper portion of her body. The third man had his head buried between Ivin's raised knees. Karina felt his tongue expertly lick Ivin's clit and the wet folds of her cunt, just as she felt the other two caress, massage, and rub Ivin's body. Karina could feel Ivin's desire, but pangs of guilt and role-reversal confusion kept a damper on her passion, so that it smoldered instead of blazed.
Exhilaration coursed through Gedda's thin body at the danger she was in and the fact that she was getting away with this stunt. She smiled at the redheaded man, who was balancing on the six-inch wide beam in front of her. He returned her reckless smile with one of his own and his green eyes had a mischievous glint that shouted out that he was having the time of his life also. Gedda stepped closer and they embraced each other. The man tilted his head down and they kissed, first hesitantly and then with passion. Gedda moaned in delighted anticipation as she felt his cock begin to harden and stiffen. One of her hands seemed to float downward to lightly grasp and stroke his lengthening prick. Karina was amused at the sensation of touching two cocks at the same time both through Cendri's and Gedda's hands, and yet distinctly feeling the differences and similarities in the texture, size and shape of each one.
Octavia's frustration was palatable to Karina in that portion of Karina's mind. The man sat motionless just staring at Octavia as she strained against her bonds. Octavia thrashed, tried to spit out the gag, and even tried to overturn the bed. It was all to no avail. Octavia finally realized the futility of it and lay still, panting from her exertions.
"So, my dear," said the man, rising from his chair. "You finally realize that I can and will do anything I want to you that I wish."
Octavia made a muffled curse and shook her head no.
"Ah, you think not," stated the man. "Let's try an experiment."
He walked over to a dresser and pulled out a six-inch long dildo from one of the drawers.
"How about if I fuck you with this?" he asked Octavia, whose muffled reply left no room for question on her thoughts about that. "No? Well, maybe you'll beg for it later." The man then pulled a short staff with feathers on the end of it out of the drawer. "Let's first see if you are ticklish."
Karina's body was quivering in sexual tension. Her passion was being inflamed not only from the expert fingers caressing and probing her pussy, but also from the sights and sensations she was experiencing through the other five women's senses. The fingers manipulating her cunt kept her right on the edge of an orgasm without sending her over. Karina's fists clenched at the silk sheets as her tension and frustration at not orgasming soared. Karina moaned in disappointment as the slick fingers left her dripping pussy and slid across her ass. She sighed as two hands gripped her hips and slowly pulled her backwards until she was resting up on her elbows and knees. Her huge breasts hung down to rest on the sheets as she folded her arms under her head with her ass stuck up in the air. The hands moved off her hips and several fingers slid back into her vagina.
Helga's two orgasms were subsiding as she released Bargan's head from her breasts. Bargan sat up and smiled down at the blond girl. Suddenly, Karina sensed a shift in Helga's mind. The glow and satisfaction of her orgasms blinked out just as quick as if someone had just snuffed out a candle. Karina could sense no emotions at al
l coming from Helga.
"I'm ready for you, Your Grace," Helga said woodenly, holding up her arms and spreading her legs apart.
Bargan's smile faded and he looked at Helga with sad eyes. "I'm Bargan right now, not Your Grace," he told her. "This was for you, not for me, my staff, or for anyone else, just you. If you are satisfied and want to sleep alone, I would leave, wishing you the most pleasant of dreams and meaning it. I will do what you wish, Helga. I do to please you and not because I am forced to do it."
Karina felt Helga's mind go into a whirl. For once she sensed the power she had in this situation and it scared her. Her slavery to Cedric had not prepared her for it, but she suddenly had a glimmering that not all relationships were dominate versus subservient. Karina felt a pang of pain as she realized that Helga had placed their bond unconsciously in this category.
"Bargan?" asked Helga, looking up towards him. "I'm a little confused right now. Would you just lay with me here on the bed?"
Helga moved over to one side and Bargan laid down on his back. He threw an arm over his head and thumped on his chest with his other hand. Helga rolled onto her side and snuggled her head on his shoulder. Bargan lowered his arm to gently stroke up and down her back.
The companion Cendri had been kissing had moved back from her stroking hands before she made him cum. He and the attendant both had their hands under the water and were probing deep into her pussy with their fingers. Unfortunately, their fingers kept getting in the way of one another and a grunt of disapproval from Cendri meant something else had to be done.
"Please stand up, turn around and bend over the towel," said the companion, as he spread a thick towel over the tile at the edge of the tub.
Cendri complied and the two men leaned up against the back of her legs. The companion signaled the bathboy to follow his lead. He began caressing Cendri's ass and legs with light delicate strokes, paying particular attention to her inside thigh. The bathboy followed suit and soon Cendri was almost purring in contentment as first one set of fingers and then another strummed over her pussy. Cendri gasped and had a small orgasm as she felt two different fingers enter her vagina. The men had put their hands back to back with the middle fingers extended to penetrate into her wet, tight cunt. Cendri groaned in pleasure as the two men pumped their arms in unison, driving their fingers in and out of her hole.
