Desert Queen 2

by Nuit du Loup

Alimah was very interested in where such a person as Teya lived. She imagined that it had to be very different from the Palace if it was in a place like this.

They came to a section of some truly decrepit looking buildings and Teya led them toward one that looked huge. It was several stories tall and the outside was a crumbling mess. There was no light in any of the windows and she couldn't see anyone. They left the road and walked behind a short length of passage that was narrow and pitch black. She hadn't even seen the entrance to it until Teya had them right on top of it.

Then they stopped in the dark and Alimah heard a scrapping sound followed immediately by a click. The apparent door swung open and again they traveled down what had been a hallway once. And when it ended after ten paces Alimah stopped dead and her mouth slipped open. She was so stunned that she didn't hear the laughter of her companion.

The hall had emptied at a truly huge, circular room with stepped sides. It had once been several rooms on all three levels but the floors on the upper two and even the roof had been broken open and moonlight shown down through it all. But that wasn't all. There were girls everywhere. They sat or laid together in small knots on blankets and some walk around with each other or moved to talk to other groups. Most had food on chipped clay plates and cups. She guessed that their ages ranged all over the place too. And there had to be at least thirty or forty of them in sight. She could hear noises from above that said the upper levels were occupied as well.

Most of the girls appeared to be dressed similarly to Teya and many carried obvious blades. Not quite like Teya's sword though, but there were definitely weapons.

Crude rope ladders went up to the other levels of the structure. And in the middle, where it was open all the way up to the sky, sat a large fire where two girls of differing ages were cooking and serving food to the others. All of them seemed unconcerned about their arrival. Most just glanced over and smiled.

Another thing that shocked her was that many of the girls seemed to be very close to one another. A few were lying so that they were resting on another's lap or against their sides with arms wrapped around. And there was a lot of affectionate touching with the very young ones. At home, she had been taught that any such behavior was kept behind closed doors and that such physical contact was sign of filthy thoughts. But this seemed so homey and comfortable that she couldn't see any fault in their actions. If fact it looked very pleasant.

"Teya!" the cry came from close by and a girl no older than eight came running toward them and giggling away with a grin across her face. The girl came flying at them and flung her arms around Teya in a hug. Teya finally let go of Alimah's hand and she felt disproportionately saddened by its loss.

"Hey'ya, Maha," Teya said, returning the girl's hug.

Behind the young girl Alimah saw another girl was approaching from where she'd been sitting in a group of girls. This one was older and closer toward Alimah's age, yet not as old as Teya.

"You broke your own rule again today, Teya," the girl said crossly with one hand on a hip, though Alimah would say that she seemed more concerned, not angry. "No one goes out alone, remember?"

"I know, I know," Teya said, smiling. She raised her hands in a placating gesture. The young girl was smothering her face in Teya's stomach and smiling happily though all that could be seen was her mop of brown hair. "But something called be out today and I knew I had to go into the city."

"It's always something," the older girl said and sighed resignedly. "So, who's the girl?"

Alimah flinched at having attention drawn to her. She saw that others were closing there conversations to listen in. Most seem unconcerned but curious. Two gave her friendly smiles of greeting.

"Her?" Teya grinned and Alimah flinched again as the girl separated herself from the young child and threw her arms around her shoulders. "I suppose we should have introductions."

Alimah was led into the center of the room near the fire and food pots and felt apprehensive at being the center of so many eyes; even if they were all girls. At least they didn't seem at all hostile.

"Listen up!" Teya said loudly with a smile. Now all conversations ended and every single face turned to look at them. Some faces even appeared from the huge hole in the ceiling on other levels. Each seemed to be attentive to Teya's words and Alimah was surprised by the respect and adoration she saw. "This is our new friend Alimah!"

Alimah tried to smile and raised a hand slowly in shy greeting. "Hi."

"Oh, you can do better than that!" Teya laughed and hugged her tighter. "Alimah here just got out of a bit of trouble and needs to lay low for a bit. She may end up staying here with us so everyone be nice and make her feel welcome. Sound good?"

There was a general murmur of assents.

"Where'ya from?" called out a girl near the fire, she had lanky black hair and was lithely attractive. She had just scooped out a portion of what looked like rice and some kind of meat onto her plate.

"Uhm…" Alimah had no clue what to tell them.

"No secrets, that's a rule around here," Teya said with a friendly smile. "Just tell them everything. We're a close family and we give each other our trust."

Alimah nodded and slowly got out her story, even telling about her flight through the streets. When she was done she was crying softly and tears burned down her cheeks.

"So, I have no where to go," she said in conclusion. "If I go out where the soldiers can recognize me, they will kill me. And I don't have any useful skills to live from."

She saw many were in awe of her story and she heard the word 'princess' said softly here and there. She also saw that many seemed sympathetic to her problem.

"Not so!" said a deeper yet still feminine voice. Alimah turned and saw a girl that looked slightly older than Teya was. She was sitting with another girl who had her head laid in the speakers lap. Her eyes were fierce but welcoming and she looked to be muscular and strong to fit the voice. "There is always a home here for displaced or homeless girls. We keep each other safe."

"Exactly!" Teya said cheerfully. "No one here would let someone as lovely as you come to harm." Alimah's cheeks heated at the words and she tried to dry her face. "So, Alimah, you feeling hungry? I know I am?"

"Yes," Alimah said in some surprise. She had been so busy worrying that she hadn't noticed that she hadn't eaten all day. Now she realized that her stomach felt empty.

"Let me get her some!" said the excitable young girl that had greeted Teya at the entrance. She seemed to be bouncing with the chance to be helpful. Before she or Teya could say a thing the girl turned, her brown hair trailing behind, and took off through a doorway in the room's circular wall.

"You'll have to excuse Maha," said the teen girl that had also greeted them. Alimah saw that since the excitement seemed to be over, most of the girls except these two were going back to their own discussions and meals. "She has way too much energy and adores Teya."

"So I saw," Alimah said with genuine smile. She rather liked these two already, they were so very friendly. "It's alright."

"Good, I'm Leila by the way."

"Alimah," she returned, reflexively bowing in formal greeting. The girl seemed very amused by the gesture and gave a return one that seemed more playful that hers.

"So what have we got to eat tonight?" Teya asked Leila.

"Rice and some fish a few of the girls earned working down at the fish market," the girl grinned again. "They got us enough to last for a ten-day."

"Excellent!" Teya crowed in delight. She gave Alimah a wide smile. "I happen to love fish."

"Alimah!" Maha come running back into the room. In her hand were two plates and two bowls. She handed one set to Teya and then gave the other to Alimah.

"That was quick, thanks Maha," Alimah said. The girl grinned and then, surprisingly, hugged her. Not really knowing what to do, she hugged the girl back. It felt nice hugging the small girl.

"I think you've made a friend already," Teya laughed. "Let's get some food.

They went to the big pots on the fire, Maha and Leila following with plates they retrieved from where they'd been sitting before, and a young girl of about twelve or so plopped a large helping of the rice and fish concoction onto her plate. The girl next to that one took her bowl and filled it with water from her big pot that sat on the floor.

"Would you be more comfortable eating with just us?" Teya asked. "I saw that being in the center of things was making you uncomfortable."

"Is that possible?" Alimah asked sounding hopeful. She really did want to get away for a little bit and get used to the idea being around so many people all the time.

"Sure, follow me." Teya in the lead, she, Leila and Maha who was humming some song to herself all took their food up a set of hidden stairs that were down a short hallway and spiraled up a stone shaft. They got out on the third and top floor.

Alimah was heartened to see that it was completely empty up here and very quiet. . To one side of the hole in the middle, on the east side she guessed, was a massive looking blanket that looked like it was thickly cushioned and there were a great many pillows sitting about it. There was also a pile of what looked like more blankets to one side of it all. Behind the big blanket was a tall wooden thing with metal hooks mounted on it in many places. All of it was bathed in the dim silver glow of moonlight. Teya led them over to the blanket and set her plate onto the floor

"One moment Alimah, just let me take all this off," Teya said. Alimah watched in interest as Teya undid her bewildering array of straps, clothes, ties, bandoliers and other odds and ends. She didn't even have a name for some of it. She saw that on many of the things there were many hidden pockets and pouches. She saw a multitude of knives and other implants too. Teya hung it all, sword included on the wooden rack thing. She was left with just her baggy pants and a loose yellow shirt of a thin material that hung closlely on her nicely rounded breasts. Alimah had to try hard not to stare at them, but Teya seemed amused by her gaze.

They sat in a circle on the soft blanket and it was just as nicely cushioned as it looked. Alimah took of her slippers and sat next to Teya and Maha, who decided apparently that Alimah was her new best friend in the whole world. Alimah kind of envied the young girl's easy good humor. Leila simply watched on with a constant smile of amusement on her face. The young teen seemed to be almost like a voluntary older sister to Maha or something.

"So how do you like the place?" Teya asked as she scooped up some of the rice and meat with her fingers. Alimah followed suit and though it was a bit bland, her hunger made the food taste amazing.

"It's a bit overwhelming," Alimah admitted. "I was mostly on my own in the Palace and only around a few teachers. I went to dinners of course, but those were infrequent. So being around this many people makes me a bit nervous. Are all those girls homeless?"

"For the most part," Teya nodded.

"They are the homeless, the parentless and the displaced," Leila elaborated. "I don't know how it started, but over the last few years Teya started gathering up girls in need of a safe home and brought them here. Some just end up here somehow. Some live here full time and others drift in and out as their home situation changes."

"But it' like I said earlier," Teya said, smiling nicely. "We're all one huge family of sorts. We look out for each other and try to see to the needs of the group. Like the girls that worked today for the fish we're eating, they didn't have to go do that, but they did and brought us all some food."

"What's the Palace like?!" Maha said, not liking the deep conversation that she was getting lost from. "Are you really the princess?"

"I was the princess," Alimah said, smiling at the girl. Maha's cheerfulness was infectious. "I'm not anymore though. But I guess I can tell you what its like.

******

She ended up spending several hours in pleasant conversation, telling about the Palace to the three very interested girls. Even Teya wanted to know about it. Maha seemed to have a limitless supply of questions. The child had a new one ready whenever the conversation seemed to be dying down. But it got late and Alimah felt her eyes getting heavy.

Alimah saw Leila smile at her and nod in understanding. Then the girl turned to Maha. "Maha, it's late," she said, interrupting the girl's next question. "You'll have plenty of time to ask Alimah about the Palace tomorrow. Let her get some sleep."

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Maha said in a hopeful voice, perking up after the disappointment of being denied more questions.

"Of course," Leila laughed. "Come on Maha."

They both stood up with their plates and bowls and Alimah made to do the same.

"Stay," Leila said, pushing her back down next to Teya with her free hand. "We'll take care of your dishes. Maha, why don't to take Teya's?"

The two gathered up the dishes and then descended down the stairs, leaving her and Teya alone. When their footsteps disappeared, it grew very quiet.

"So you're the leader around here?" Alimah asked after a while.

"That's how it turned out," Teya shrugged and then leaned back on her arms, Alimah found it very hard not to stare at her now outthrust chest. "They just started gathering around and before I knew it I was their leader. They even made me this huge bed and gave me this whole floor to myself."

"Where should I sleep?" Alimah asked. "Do I need to find a blanket somewhere?"

"Don't be silly!" Teya laughed, in her current position it made her breasts bounce nicely and Alimah definitely noticed. She was finding it much harder to try and ignore how pleasant she found it to look at Teya. "You are staying here with me tonight." Teya sounded pleased by it.

"With you?" Alimah's heart started to race. She had never shared a bed with anyone, not even as a child. And doing so now with the girl she was so strangely attracted to? It seemed like a bad idea. What would happen?

"Yes, with me. Or would you prefer to share with one of the other girls?" Alimah thought Teya sounded a bit concerned and a little disappointed.

Does she want to sleep with me? Alimah thought with an oddly pleasant tingle growing between her legs.

"No, I was just embarrassed. I've never shared a bed," she admitted. She felt her cheeks heat again.

"Oh! Well…" Teya was grinning happily now. She got up and quickly went to fetch the other blankets. "There's nothing to it really. And I would very mush like you to stay here with me." She came back with the sheets and plopped back down.

Almost as she did so Alimah heard an odd sound drift up in through the night. Then another came. It sounded like a moan or a wail. As the night silence grew her hearing seemed to sharpen and she realized there was a whole soft chorus of moans and cries coming up from the lower floors. They were sounds that seemed to wake something strange inside her. And more than a little fear. What kind of place had she come to?

She slowly crawled over to the edge of the hole, well away from the bed, and Teya let her go with a small smile on her face. Alimah peered over the edge of the hole and looked downward.

She saw that the fire had been banked low, but a stray few embers cast a slight redish light. She saw bodies on the bottom floor, since no one else was at the edges of the other floors and her eyes widened. Two girls writhed in the shadowy ground floor that was in her view and one had her head between the other's legs. Neither was wearing any clothing. Alimah could also more clearly hear the noises. She heard more moaning and the occasional name cried out into the night. She felt a strong shiver pass through her when she recognized one crying voice. It had been Leila.

She quickly retreated away from the hole and returned to the blanket where Teya was watching her closely.

"What are they all doing?" she asked quietly, though she suspected the answer and feared it.

'They are making love," Teya said with a gentle smile that made her feel a bit warm inside. "All the girls here love each other and express it physically. Some are couples and only spend such times with each other, but most will go from partner to partner as things happen. Many have partners they prefer to have sex with of course, but they would never turn down someone if they are asked to spend the night with them. We are a very close and free society here in the Oasis. And it brings us much closer to each other as sisters."

"The Oasis?" Alimah asked numbly, she felt stunned by the explanation. All the girls here had sex with each other? It was forbidden by the Sol Priests as a sin. Yet wasn't she already sitting next to a sand witch anyway? And wasn't she already feeling her own strong attraction toward Teya? She was so very confused. She wasn't a devote follower of the sun god, not at all, but lifelong teachings didn't just disappear. She was also nervous because had never, ever, seen such a thing before or experience it herself.

Teya gave a soft laugh. "It's what my girls call this place, the named if Teya's Oasis. I'm flattered of course, but I don't really need a building named after me, even a crumbling one like this. I only picked it because I thought it was fitting to live in an old noble's manse."

Alimah heard Leila's voice drift up again and this time she clearly heard her calling out Maha's name. She felt that chill again and something between her legs. "Do…do you wish to do that with me as well?" she asked hesitantly.

"Of course I do," Teya said with a confident grin. She leaned in close until their faces were inches away. "Why do you think I kissed you that day I passed through your garden? I thought you were like a jewel in the center of a lotus. A beauty surrounded by beauty. I had to have something to remember you by, so I shared my lips with you. And it was a very pleasant memory indeed, you lips were very sweets."

"You thought of that day too?" Alimah said, feeling her heart race quicken again from their close proximity. She looked at Teya lips and remembered them on her own as if it had happened just a moment ago. She could also smell

"Oh yes," Teya's golden eyes seemed to glow like they had in the street when she used her magic. "I came home that night and couldn't even eat before I got someone to help satisfy me and it took them a long time. I burned for you that night and since then. I thought myself especially blessed when you ran into me today. And I think that you are feeling the same for me."

Unconsciously Alimah found herself laying back into the blanket bed and Teya followed her down. Her black hair pillowed her head.

"Many girls have been in my bed and I have loved very moment spent with them Alimah, but for the first time, when I saw you, I longed for someone and dreamed of you. I desired someone. All of the girls may attract me, and I enjoy making love to them and seeing their bodies, but for some reason, with you it is different. I just don't know yet how so."

Teya lips slowly drifted down and when they touched her own, Alimah felt warmth suffuse her and no desire at all to resist. She felt Teya's body settle onto her own slim form. She felt the hard points of Teya's nipples against her small breasts and wondered what it would be like to touch them with her hands. Her lips parted and Teya's tongue slipped inside.

They both began to breathe heavily and they exchanged an ever more passionate series of kisses with Alimah learning as they went. She tried giving her own tongue to Teya and she shivered violently when the girl sucked on it and licked it. She had never felt anything like this in her fourteen years of life. Her heart was racing and through their touching flesh she could feel Teya's doing the same. And between her legs was an ache that yearned to be touched, yet she wasn't sure if she should.

Then Teya moved her kissing down and onto her neck and she arched herself to try and receive more of what she felt from it. Those lips traced down to the hollow of her throat and teased over the top of her chest.

"Teya, Teya, I….I…" her mind was awash with emotions. But on top of them all was the desire that Teya never, ever stop what she was doing. She no longer cared if it was wrong. If she was to be damned, than at least it would feel amazing.

Teya shifted slightly to the side of her body and she felt the older girl's hand on her stomach. It drew up over the front of the open fronted shirt and tight bodice she had put on this morning on the order of her father to entice her suitor. Fingers deftly undid the ties on that bodice and felt no need to stop them. When they were undone at last, Teya drew up from her and pulled her garment open to reveal the minuscule bumps of her breasts. She looked into Teya's eyes and the apprehensions she felt at the lack of womanly curves disappeared as they were born. Teya's eyes seemed to hunger for her and the golden glow was still there.

Teya's hands roamed over her smooth chest and Alimah hissed in pleasure as a finger traced over the small but very hard point of one of her nipples. Alimah looked down and watched as her new lover played with her the darker nubs sitting in the middle of her tan colored skin. Teya seemed almost mesmerized by them.

"I just knew you'd be so lovely," Teya said softly, almost reverently. "May I see the rest, please?"

Heart still pounding crazily, Alimah nodded. But then she felt worried because she realized she was soaked between her legs. She instantly worried that she had wet herself and that Teya would be disgusted with her and tern her away.

"What's wrong?" Teya said gently, not stopping her playing and caressing with Alimah's nipples and breasts.

"I am very wet down there. I fear I have soiled myself." Alimah said in shame. "You will me disgusted with me?"

Shocking her out of her moroseness, Teya giggled delightedly. "Oh Alimah, that is not what you think it is. Have you never pleasured yourself?"

"No, I was told that was sinful. I did try once, but I did not wet myself then," Alimah said in confusion. And she felt even more confused when Teya laughed again. And she started to feel a bit angry too, that Teya would mock her fears.

"I am not making fun of you," Teya said, reading her face. She raised one hand and caressed her face; Alimah nuzzled into it and sighed, but still started at Teya, demanding an explanation. "It is your womanhood," Teya said. She bent down and flicked her tongue over on of Alimah's nipples, causing her to gasp aloud. "When you are excited and ready for loving, it gets wet. It means you are feeling very good. Your mother or some woman should have explained all this to you. You are old enough that I thought even a noble would have been told."

"No one said such a thing to me," Alimah said wonderingly. "But you're sure it is a good thing?"

"Oh yes, and if you are as wet as you say, than I know I will enjoy this a great deal. And most of the girls here would desire to be with you if they knew. They would be very jealous that I was with you first. "

Alimah settled back down as Teya really started to kiss and suck hard on her nipples. It was a sensation that gave her immense pleasure and she felt something powerful stirring within her. It grew and grew until even breathing was hard. Then Teya bit down on her left nipple and the combination of roughness and pleasure triggered something and the tension she had been feeling let loose all at once.

"Aiii!: She cried out her feelings and pushed her chest into Teya's face. She felt a flood of hot liquid between her legs and felt her wrap sticking to her skin down there and she felt muscles she had previously been unaware of clenching tight..

Eventually the feeling passed and she looked up into Teya's smiling gaze.

"Was that sex?" she asked, not entirely of sound mind just yet. Everything seemed to come through a fog.

"Only just barely," Teya smiled wide. "But you are a very sensitive one, which is very fun for both of us. But I have more to show you. So you just lay there for now and let me."

Alimah was in no mind to protest or complain. She felt amazing and her body tingled. When Teya's hands went down her smooth stomach and grabbed onto the wrap garment she wore as a skirt, she lifted her hips to help.

"My, you weren't joking," Teya said in amazement when she found the front of the wrap to be soaked to Alimah's skin. "I don't think I've met a girl who was this profuse."

"I'm sorry," Alimah said reflexively.

"I told you, it's a good thing," Teya smiled. "It is unusual, but it's something that is enjoyable for me. Now shush, and lay still." She tossed the wrap aside and looked down at Alimah's naked body. "Ah, Alimah, you are beautiful."

Alimah blushed hotly as she saw Teya looking her over. Teya's hands weren't idle and one passed through the light wisp of black hair between her firm legs. She hadn't actually had any hair there a few months ago, it was only recently grown. She had felt proud when it had come in; she had felt much more like a grown woman.

Teya's finger brushed through the hair and she didn't seem at all disgusted with how wet everything was down there. And that feeling of tension was growing in Alimah again from Teya's touching, but not strongly yet.

But then one finger brushed over the very top of the tightly closed but swollen lips of her womanhood and touched something that sent a bolt of pleasure through her body that made Alimah's hip shove up into the hair. Teya did it again and another bolt came.

"What is that, what are you doing?" Alimah asked hoarsely.

"I am touching your clit, it's that fun bump thing at the top of your pussy," Teya said, her voice sounded pleased. "And you are indeed very sensitive, everywhere."

Teya's fingers trailed down a little more and played with her very slippery and wet lips. It felt amazing but it was much less intense than the touching of her clit had been. Teya moved down between her legs, which Alimah eagerly widened at a touch, and moved down close.

Alimah watched Teya's face lower down until all she could see was her tail of beaded cinnamon hair. Then she felt something wet and warm flicker over her lower lips and her clit. It came again, this time a little more firmly. The sensation made her get even more wet down there.

"Hmmm, see, I told you I don't mind you being wet," Teya said, rising just enough to look Alimah in the face. Alimah saw that there was a lot of wetness now on Teya face. Teya raised a hand and pointedly scooped some into her mouth. Alimah felt her pussy quiver at the sight. How could Teya consume her juices? Wasn't that dirty? "It's not gross," Teya said, again reading her face like a book. "In fact it is a delicacy to us girls. You taste wonderful. So much so that I think I might become addicted to it. If the other girls knew, they would be envious of me being with you right now, though they would still understand and leave us alone."

Teya's head went back down and soon all further thoughts were shoved straight out of Alimah's head. She felt the soft heat of Teya tongue on and then inside her and it seemed to be everywhere at once. Teya found places on her body she had never known existed and explored them. She was soon moaning and crying out loudly into the night and she didn't care. She felt a finger enter her and she bucked her hip for more.

She wasn't sure exactly how long Teya lay between her legs pleasuring her, but when Teya took her sensitive clit between her lips and sucked hard on it while rapidly moving her finger over a very nice spot inside her, she screamed. It was a piercing scream and she felt something explode wetly from between her legs. Her body trembled and she had no control over it. Her hand flew to Teya's head and pushed her face harder into her pussy and then, suddenly, it was over and she let go.

Feeling suddenly limp, she laid there panting and staring into the darkness above. Her entire body trembled in aftershock of whatever it was that hag jolted through her. Very slowly she calmed down and began to breathe more normally.

Teya moved up her body and as soon as she saw Teya's face, copiously covered in her juices, she grabbed her and pulled the girl to her and kissed her hard. It wasn't even a conscious thing. She just had to kiss the girl. And in doing so she tasted herself on the girl's lips and realized that it did taste very good. And the smell was something wonderful too.

"What was that?" she said, when she finally relinquished Teya's lips.

"You came," Teya grinned. "It was an orgasm, like you had when I played with your lovely breasts, but much bigger." She barked a laugh. "I think everyone knows how nice it was, you screamed very loudly. You shook like an earthquake too. I very much enjoyed doing that for you."

"Sorry I was so loud," she said, her face getting very red.

"Oh, no one will be bothered by it really," Teya giggled. "Actually, there are some who are probably wanting to come join us, though they won't. You are going to get a great many invitations to share beds soon."

"I am?" Alimah felt even more embarrassed. She didn't know how she felt about being desired by dozens of girls all of a sudden. Or that she wanted their attentions.

"Yes, and you are of course free to go with them," Teya said with a smile. "Though I hope you will come to me again and again. I hope to see this sight very frequently."

"I think I would like that too," Alimah said softly, but truthfully. Then she slowly sat up and looked at Teya who was sitting up with her legs outstretched and resting on one arm to the side facing her. "Can I do something for you now?"

"Of course you can, but you don't have to if you are too nervous," Teya assured her. "But I would be very happy to be your first."

"I don't think I'm nervous anymore," Alimah said with a smile of her own. "But I don't know what I'm doing."

"Just do like I did, it's hard to do it very wrong, and it won't take much right now, I almost got off just from doing you."

Alimah reached out then and Teya sat upright so that she could take hold of her loose shirt and pull it up. When it came off she couldn't help but stare and Teya's round mounds. They were just large enough that it took her whole hand to cover them, but not huge and droopy. They sat high and firm on Teya's chest and her large nipples sat up hard in their darker tan areolas.

"You are free to touch me," Teya said, assuring her. "I know you want to."

"Okay," Alimah responded, eagerly reaching out again. She cupped a breast in one hand and sighed at the feeling of it. They were firm and soft at the same time and she loved the feel of them. Teya closed her eyes at her touching and her breathing changed. So she knew what she was doing felt good. She moved around behind Teya so she could more easily take one in each hand. She loved the feeling of the rubbery hard nipples and Teya's groaning said she liked it too. But she realized quickly that Teya was not as sensitive as she was with her breasts..

When she finally took one of those nipples into her mouth, she never wanted to let it go. They felt so natural there. She bathed them with her mouth and tongue and Teya laid back and squirmed.

"That's very good, Alimah," Teya cooed. Her voice was very airy and light. "But could you…I'm so very aroused and I need it."

Alimah smiled and nodded. She felt amazed that she'd had this kind of effect on another person. It took some doing to undo the ties on Teya's boots, and the girl apologized for forgetting to take them off. But Alimah didn't mind. And she then drew her pants and underwear off quickly.

Alimah stared at Teya's crotch and actually felt a little hungry at the sight. Teya's lips were slightly open and they were glistening in the moonlight from the roof hole. A small fleshy nub sat at the top, just below a thatch of redish-brown hair. Like Teya had done, she ran fingers through that hair and the softness made her want to lay her face in it. But she had promised to attend to Teya's needs, so she refrained.

Instead she lowered herself down like Teya had on her until her face hovered inches over Teya's excited pussy. She could smell Teya's arousal in the air and it made her pussy wet again, she could feel it leaking onto the blanket.

She stuck out her tongue and tentatively ran it up and through Teya's lips and when the fluid there touched it she wanted more. It tasted amazing, so much better than her own had. Her tongue flickered over Teya's hard clit and the girl let out a guttural moan of appreciation.

Happy that this was pleasing her first ever lover, she repeated the action of licking hard up through Teya's lips and then fluttering her tongue over the clit several times. It seemed to be driving Teya a little crazy because the girl started moaning and mumbling incoherently until finally she just shouted the word 'finger!; really loudly before descending back into the nonsense words.

Alimah knew what she wanted from her own experience, so she raised her right hand away from Teya's firm thigh and slid her middle finger into Teya's leaking hole. It accepted it easily and then suddenly it was as if Teya's pussy was trying to cut it off. She clenched tight and her back arched. Alimah kept up her licking and wiggled her rapidly numbing finger and felt another jolt go through Teya. She was going to continue but Teya's hand came down on her head and held her still.

"That's enough," Teya said with a raspy laugh. "I haven't come that hard in a long time, and twice! Any more and I think I might actually have a heart attack."

"So I did alright?" Alimah asked, sliding her finger out of Teya and idly popping it into her mouth to savor the flavor of it and clean it at the same time. She sat up onto her knees between Teya's naked legs.

"More than alright," Teya grinned and flung her arms out wide. "I'm totally bushed!"

Alimah lowered herself back down onto Teya and felt very warm inside from her experience with Teya this night. She wondered how the Sol Priests could think love like this was wrong. She decided that she didn't care. She brought her lips to Teya's and they kissed again, and kept on kissing for a very long time, each gently and slowly touching the other. She loved the way Teya felt against her.

She wasn't sure when she dozed off, but she woke briefly when she felt Teya pulling a warm sheet over them and then snuggling up to her. But Teya's hand running through her thick black hair sent her right back into oblivion for the night.

She did awaken briefly however, right when the very first light of the sun started show. She had felt something through the cushioning under her body and opened her eyes. Crawling over to them was a very drowsy looking, and very naked Maha.

"Leila went out," Maha said tiredly. "I don't want to sleep by myself. Can I sleep next to Alimah?"

Alimah was too tired and sleepy herself to complain or argue. She simply lifted that side of the sheet and the little girl quickly slipped under it. She felt small arms hug her and a small warm body against her and then back to sleep she went.

*****

She awoke the next morning to the call of nature. She didn't want to leave the nice bed and the even nicer feel of Teya's body. Maha seemed to have already left, but she didn't know when that was. But it was no use, no matter how hard she tried; she couldn't ignore the pressure on her bladder any longer.

She slipped out of the bed and quietly put her clothes on. She felt a little dirty for wearing the same clothes as the day before, but she didn't have anything else. She left the room without waking Teya's, who she smiled at when she saw Teya's blissful sleeping face. And she almost giggle when she saw the big damps spot where she had been lying the night before. When she arrived at the ground floor she saw that there were a lot more girls gathered around eating breakfast than she had thought she had seen the previous night, and they all looked her and every face looked very interested. She really wanted to know what they were thinking, but her bladder came first.

"Uhm, where can I use a bathroom?" she asked, nervous under so many eyes.

Several of the girls suddenly smiled, but a very familiar voice beat all of them.

"I'll show you!" Maha pushed through and past several girls. All the ones that looked like they had wanted to help her smiled and looked ruefully amused. Obviously they were used to Maha's antics.

"Thanks, Maha," Alimah said, smiling. The girl took her hand and dragged her through one of the doorways. They went down a short hall and they saw a girl coming out another doorway, the girl smiled at her in a very friendly manner and then Maha pulled her into the door the girl had just come out off. Inside were three toilet holes in a surprisingly clean room. The toilets themselves were smallish dark holes and she suspected they dropped straight down to the underground sewers that ran randomly through the city. Some of the noble houses in the Circle had bathrooms like this she'd heard. Against a wall was a water basin to cleanse her afterwards.

She looked for something to hang her leg wrap on but Maha thrust out her eager hands. Alimah sighed; obviously the girl wasn't going to just leave her to it. So she took her wrap off and tried to ignore the very interested look the girl was giving he slit. When she handed the garment over so she could pee, she almost groaned in embarrassment when Maha sniffed it and grinned, and then sniffed it some more. She'd forgotten that she had soaked them last night. She wasn't used to thinking about these kinds of things.

Instead she sighed again and took care of her business, all the while under the happy gaze of Maha. Then she went to the basin and used the provided water and a cloth to clean herself. When asked for her wrap back Maha pouted.

"But your so pretty," Maha complained. That at least made her smile. At least Maha was such a nice girl too. But she did take her wrap back and put it back in place. When they both went back into the hall they saw several girls quickly running back down it toward the main chamber. Her cheeks flushed red.

"Wer…were they peaking at me?" she asked Maha.

Maha shrugged as if it wasn't that big of a problem and smiled. "Probably, you're very pretty, and we heard you last night. I sure wanted to see you."

"Is everyone going to be like that?" she asked resignedly. It was really weird that so many girls were interested in her and it was embarrassing because they had all heard her last night.

"You're new," Maha said as if that was the obvious answer. "And Teya brought you in and they want to know what you are like. You're gonna be popular for a while."

"And you?" she asked seeing the child's sidelong looks at her.

"Me too," the cute girl agreed cheerfully, her loose head of brown hair bobbing with her nod. "And I know you're nice already. You even let me sleep next to you when Leira left for patrol."

Alimah didn't know what a patrol was for, but she was still smiling at the gir'ls compliments when they re-entered the main room. Maha got them plates and bowls again and then they got in the line for food, this time there were two different servers. And she saw that some of the girls' plates and bowls were painted and personalized.

The meal turned out to be some sort of rice porridge. It oozed over the plate in a white mass. She tasted it and it had a bland sweetness to it. There were also two strips of a cured meat of some kind, also mostly tasteless.

"You guys don't use any seasoning?" she asked Maha as they walked over to one side of the room.

"No one knows how to cook really," Maha shrugged. "This is about the best we can get."

"Do you have any?"

"Maybe, Teya won't let me cook at all yet," Maha grimaced. "She thinks I'll just play in the fire."

"And would you?" Alimah grinned.

"Okay, so maybe a little," Maha admitted. "But I know I could cook."

"Do you know where the food and stuff is stored?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Take me there."

After she slurped down her porridge and worried the meat to death in order to eat it, they downed their water and Maha led her down a short set of stairs in the back of the building. They entered a pantry and she marveled at what the girls had amassed in terms of supplies. For being poor they had a decently stocked kitchen.

Part of her teaching to be a proper 'wife' had been lessons in cooking. At the time she hadn't know why they had bothered to do so. As a noble woman she would never cook anything herself. But she learned it all anyway.

She scrounged through the supplied and pulled out what she wanted. Most of it looked a bit old, but things like salt didn't really get aged. When had loaded up Maha like a pack camel she took it all upstairs.

Two cooks seemed more than a little confused and bemused by her ousting them from their job, but they let her set down at the fire with the pot of porridge and the skillet and the burlap wrapped meat.

Like in her lessons, the ingredients went where she wanted them two and in precise amounts, all without any measuring of any kind. She added some butter and herbs to the porridge and rubbed salt, more herbs and spices into the meat strips. Soon very pleasant smells wafted through the room and the girls who had been amused now looked very intrigued and some started to line back up.

Maha helped her serve them and Alimah smiled broadly and her cheek colored when she they started complimenting the food. She didn't think it was deserved and said so; this was the most basic of cooking.

"What's going on here?" Leira came striding through the entry door from outside in an outfit like Teya had been wearing the day before. She even had a curved sword on her back. "Something smells awesome."

"Alimah is what's going on!" said one girl who seemed to be wolfing down her helping food. "Teya brought us a damn cook!"

Leira's eyes slid over and noticed her and Maha next to the fire with the food and Alimah smiled sheepishly at her. Leira walked over and gave Maha an arched look.

"I see Alimah's a bad influence already, Maha. You know that Teya didn't want you near the cook fire yet."

"I haven't played with it once!" Maha insisted indignantly. She pouted at Alimah. "Right?"

"She's just helping me serve the food," Alimah explained.

"And who made you cook?" Leira asked sounding angry now. "You shouldn't have to yet."

"Oh, no one made me; I kind of forced myself in here. Have some food," she handed the slightly mollified Leira food on her own now unneeded plate. Leira sniffed at it and then tasted some of each, her eyes shut up.

"Damn is right!" Leira exclaimed. "This is the best food I've eaten in months! No offense meant of course," she said looking around. No one seemed at all insulted. In fact most just nodded and continued eating.

"Something smells good down here!" Alimah smiled and turned her head to see Teya walking into the room. She was dressed in just her pants and shirt, minus the boots. Her bare feet slapped softly on the floor as she came over. She looked at Alimah and frowned in the same manner Leira had.

"Here, eat this!" Leira said, shoving the remainder of her food at Teya. Teya frowned in confusion but complied, chomping on a much less tough and better flavored strip off meat than had been served before. Her eyes shot up like Leira's had and she then tried the porridge that Alimah had made a little thicker so that it stayed put on the plate.

"You made this?" she asked staring at Alimah.

"Yeah, the stuff they were making before was cooked to death and kinda bland, so I just added a few things you guys already had down in your pantry.

"We have a pantry?" Teya asked, looking a Leira.

Leira slapped Teya playfully on the arm. "Of course we do. But you don't cook at all so you wouldn't know."

"And to think you were concerned about being good at something?!" Teya laughed. Her eyes seemed to glow as they looked at Alimah again. "If you want, you could be in charge of cooking. Then you can show this lot the proper way to make food."

"You mean like a job?"

"Yes, like a job, though you won't be forced to do it all the time of course. If this going to be your home, than there are rules and some of them mean you can't spend all your time cooking. But you'll be useful to the family."

"I can live here permanently?" Alimah said wonderingly. "I don't mind cooking It was kind of fun. But I can really be part of this family? Nobody will mind?"

"Shouldn't think so," Teya said, and Leira both grinned with her. She stood and raised her voice loud. "Oi! Any objections to Alimah living here with us permanantly?"

Most of the girls gave an amused and laughing assent and several raised their now slicked clean plates and gave a small cheer. Alimah felt warm and happy inside, like she never had back in the Palace.

"Looks like your good," Teya said, propping on hand on her hip and standing tall.

"Welcome home."
