Countess of Desire (The Young Ancients Erotic Moments Book 1) (5 page)

Blinking she
realized that Marvin had touched Debbie at the same time. That could, no doubt,
be hard to work out, using normal social rules.

Nodding she
grinned a bit.

"I'll see
if I can set something up? For now, Debbie, would you be free tonight? I'd like
to spend the evening with you, and Marvin. We've never done that sort of thing.
If that's objectionable, or if you have other plans, I'll understand. I don't
mean to come between you, but I do think of you as being one of my best
friends." There. The truth was out, and if anyone in the world had a
problem with it, they could go and fuck themselves, because she certainly
wouldn't be doing that kind of person.

To her relief,
Debbie smiled back and reached out to her.

"That
would be most welcome. I've been trying to think of a way to bring the topic up
for a while, but... Well, I didn't know if that was a thing that you'd like?
Count Ward is your husband, and I don't know if you... enjoy women that way.
We've never spoken of it." She seemed very shy, and a light rose color
came to her face.

She really
looked very attractive, in the early evening sun. It would be light for a few
more hours, and like her, Debbie didn't seem to feel the heat of the day.
Things were a bit damp, but not that trying. It was the same reason for both of
them, Maria didn't doubt. Despite her lower social position, Debra Smalls was a
very wealthy and powerful woman, with extremely good connections. She sold
magic amulets and items and could no doubt afford her own without hardship.

Maria smiled
and took the slightly smaller woman's hand. She was about five-nine or so, and
not tiny really, but Maria was nearly seven inches taller, which made a
difference.

"I
do
enjoy women that way. I didn't know that you not having that information would
be what was stopping us, or I would have brought it up before. Still, I promise
Marvin, I won't steal her away
all
the time. I know that you two are
close. Now, let's get settled for the meal? I think that you should sit with
us?" There was a sidelong glance at Marvin, but the Count looked down,
smiled and then gave a slow nod of his head. It wasn't
exactly
appropriate to have a common woman at the high table like that, but this also
wasn't a state dinner with high ranking people being displaced for it either.
Not yet at any rate.

Sighing, Maria
ran inside to find her communications device. It would work best for her
anyway, in case she had to actually beg and wheedle Gerent into coming to take
them on a trip. You could buy passage, after a fashion, but most had to go on a
very long waiting list, and more gold didn't get you to the top faster, for
some reason. Suggesting that a Prince come and service her whims was a bit too
much, really. Even if she was a Countess.

Still, halfway
to her room, she noticed that a rather worried looking Debbie was with her.
That was interesting, but not that huge of an issue. If you couldn't beg and
plead in front of your best friends, then who could you do it in front of? All
that would really leave was strangers and enemies, which she didn't need more of,
personally.

The other woman
followed her into her main bed chamber, the one that she actually shared with
Marvin, and once inside tapped the front of her chest, making her clothing
vanish. Maria understood then. She'd thought that they were supposed to have
sex right
then
, not the later that had actually been intended. It...
Well, there was almost no real way to tell her no without being insulting or
making things awkward, was there? Dinner would be served soon too, and she
really wanted to make the contact with Gerent, if he was available.

So, smiling,
she nodded. She could do more than one thing at a time, couldn't she?

It was tempting
to have Debbie kneel in front of her while she spoke over the device in her
hand, using her mouth and tongue on her in a pleasant fashion. Still, that
would be a little selfish, wouldn't it? They hadn't done anything before, and
she'd asked the other woman for her attention, not the reverse. If anyone was
responsible for pleasing the other, it had to flow that way.

"Here, lie
down on the bed? I need to talk to some people, so try not to moan too
loud?" That got the naked, and rather nicely figured, woman to lay down as
requested.

Her skin was
soft looking, and bare, since that was the fashion. Maria needed both hands to tapped
the code in on the moon glass rectangle in her hand. It took a bit to find the
right name, since she wanted Prince Gerent, not Petra. Probably because she
really was a bitch and avoiding her sister in-law more than she needed to.

As soon as the
strong face of the man himself appeared, she sat, her soft skirt brushing the
exposed and tender flesh of the other woman's side. There was a small gasp as
she started to stroke her stomach gently. Her skin was so smooth it felt almost
like silk.

"Hello?
Gerent here." The man had a deep voice, nearly as much so as Marvin did.
It hadn't always been that way. He'd been made to grow, by the Wizard Tor,
who'd fixed things for him, so that he'd become what he
should
have
been, instead of a warped and sickly midget.

She hadn't been
the only one that had been a bit shocked to find that he grew into a tall and
powerful noble man. She looked deep into his blue eyes, held on the device in
her right hand, and let her left trail down toward Debbie's womanhood. She had
a patch of soft black curls there, which was a deeper color than what was on
her head. Almost absently, knowing that she couldn't possibly be ready for much
more yet, Maria simply let her fingers gently brush the top of the curls.
Teasing a bit.

"Prince
Gerent! Maria Ward on this end. I was just calling to humble myself and beg
from you. That or trade services? I was thinking that I need to make a trip to
visit some people on Harmony. That, and get together with Petra. I have some
bridges to mend there, I think. So, what would it take to get that to happen?
You live on Harmony, so you don't need goods, or workers really. I can offer
some
other
things?" She let her face become coy, and didn't say
she'd have sex with him straight off.

It was nearly a
mistake, since the man clearly didn't get what she really meant.

"Oh? I
guess I could come get you all. Petra is off for a week, starting tomorrow. She
still teaches at the Printer School. Weapons work, and fighting? Would it be
all right if she picked you up? I'm a little busy for the time being. Nothing I
can't shift around, of course..."

She sighed,
noting that her offer to do things with him seemed to go right past his low
self-esteem. Normally that would have had a lot of men dropping what they were
doing to come and service her immediately. It was a bit off-putting, to tell
the truth, being ignored that way. Was she really going to have to throw
herself at the man?

Letting her
fingers trail down a fraction lower she lightly rubbed directly over Debbie's
clitoris. She was actually pretty, down there, Maria noted. Not that all women
weren't, but the slightly dark folds were very symmetrical on this one. It
would be fun to see what she tasted like too. Rich, no doubt. Dipping a finger
in, absently, she could feel that her friend was damp already. Slowly she
licked her finger, forgetting herself for a moment. It was a slow and very sex
driven movement. One that had the man in her hand staring at her.

Now he seemed
to get what she was talking about.

"Uhm..."
He sounded a bit aroused, as
well
as a little nervous.

Smiling she put
her hand back down, and started on her new friend’s clitoris again. That was
too direct of her, but sometimes speed paid off. They really didn't have a lot
of time before the meal.

"Sorry, I
forgot myself there. Anyway, I'm
trying
to bribe you with sex. I
suppose
I could try that with Petra, but as far as I know she really isn't into ladies
that way. Though we could both do you? If that's a thing you'd like, I mean.
I'll understand if your schedule doesn't allow it." That was a bit heavy
handed, but it could work, so she wasn't too shy that way.

The man
actually stammered.

"I'd...
Like that, of course. I... are you certain?"

His famous low
self-esteem again. It was less than charming really. He was a Prince now, after
all, no matter how humble his start in life.

"I am. I'd
also like to bring my friend Debbie to visit? I don't know if you remember
her?" Slightly wickedly, Maria let her middle finger speed up, making a
very regular up and down pattern on the woman. She dipped into her honey pot
again, for the lubrication. They had plans later too, so leaving her chafed and
sore would be poor tactics.

"I do! I
have to admit, I'm a bit fond of her, to be honest. It would be good to see
her, if she wants to visit? I'm sure we can find room for all of you at our
house. Petra and I... Well, we have our own palace, after a fashion. Plenty of
room for guests, though we haven't had too many yet." He seemed slightly
proud of the fact.

"Lovely!
Well, I'll set all that up then and get with Pet now. I'm sure she'll be
thrilled to have her holiday off work filled with relatives,
especially
me. Well, wish me luck then?" She looked deeply into his eyes, holding her
tongue for a moment.

He bowed to the
unit in his own hand, making the world on his end tilt a little. It was clear
that he was in space, by the décor, and given the people around him. It was his
crew, so whatever he was doing was work related.

She did it
back, making certain that the naked Debbie was just visible when she did it.
The man practically salivated at the sight, even if it was only of her naked
breasts. Her dark nipples and areolas were tight and she was just slightly
smaller that way than Maria was, so it made for a nice show.

"I look
forward to seeing you all." Then the man hung up, probably because he was
actually more polite than she was.

Rather than
call Petra directly, she turned her attention to Debbie, making use of both
hands for a bit, then kneeling next to the bed, getting the woman to spread her
legs so that she was accessible to Maria's tongue.

She was mild in
flavor, but alluring in scent. The woman clearly wasn't a stranger to this kind
of sport though, she realized, since she grabbed a handful of Maria's long hair
and placed her mouth directly over the right spot.

"Up and
down? With your tongue?" It was a question, but not hard to comply with.
Doing that had the woman bucking against her lips hard less than two or three
minutes later.

"Oh!"
She spasmed, her body going tight under and in front of the Countess. Several
times. With each one, she said "Oh!" A little bit louder.

It was
charming, but a bit tame really. At least if she were trying for more than her
own pleasure in the moment. Still, it was a good start and let her get clothing
back on while Maria wiped her mouth slowly, and then got in touch with Petra.

The dark skinned
woman scowled at her for a moment, but she went a bit blank after a moment and
then smiled.

"Maria? Is
everything all right?"

"Because I
seldom call unless there's a problem? I can see that actually. I need to take a
trip to Harmony, and figured that I might as well mend some fences with you at
the same time. Gerent suggested that I get in touch with you and set that up.
He also invited us to stay at your villa? I was the one that suggested you and
I could both have sex with him. He didn't say no, but seemed a bit hesitant to
make arrangements for you?" She grinned, and then shook her head, as the
woman on the other end of the thing looked at her a bit coldly. "I mean
that, by the way. Not that you have to have sex with me, but that I think it's
past time I stop treating you... Well, you know."

Petra gave her
a confused look then, and shrugged her large and rugged looking shoulders.

"I didn't
think you were treating me badly. We aren't close, but you hardly ever spit in
my food when I come to visit anymore. Why the last, what is it, two or three
visits, you haven't even slipped snakes into my bed."

That got the
other woman a fake glare. She was teasing of course, to test the waters. There
was a time when that would have gotten Maria to growl at her, and run to
Marvin, to make sure his sister’s allowance was cut to next to nothing. This
time she managed to just screw her face up a bit.

"True
enough. So, you'll come and visit tonight, then take us all off in the morning?"

Blinking a bit,
she smiled and nodded her pretty head. Her hair was very short, almost like a
man's, but her skull shape was good.

"Sure?
When do you want me there? I'm off work for the day, I was going to go and get
something to eat at the tavern here. After that?"

"Why not
come here for the evening meal? We can hold it for a few minutes, if you
need?" She had a jump ship after all, and those things were
fast
.
So much so that after a few minutes of walking, the scenery changed to a small
craft. A few moments of uninterrupted chatter later, Petra cleared her throat.

"It seems
that the roast pig is just now coming out? Oh, Martya! Over here!" It was
amazing, but the woman was there, from some six hundred miles away, already.

That calling
out would be to her best childhood friend, Maria knew. The local ice merchant.
She often came for the evening party.

"Good!
Let's meet outside then, in a few moments?"

"See you
then." The face vanished, leaving Maria alone with Debbie, who was
clothed, and looking down at the floor, a slightly amazed expression on her
face.

Taking her
hand, she started them toward the door.
