After months of reaching new heights of sexual adventure and new lows of emotional self-destruction, I found myself once more at their event site. Luckily this trip went without event. The group’s king, Tim, was there, as well as maybe a couple dozen others. When we arrived, Glade’s pavilion was pitched, but he was nowhere to be seen. We were greeted by some people but mostly left to ourselves. This was a far cry from the pulsating hustle and bustle that I usually saw.
“Let’s get ourselves changed,” Sylva said to me as she pulled me towards Glade’s pavilion.
“I’m not going in there,” I lamented. “I don’t want him to think that we’re still together or anything.”
Sylva laughed at me. “You’re going in. I know it, you know it.”
She paused. “Or you can just change right here, I don’t care.” She continued walking up the low hill towards his tent. I shrugged and followed her.
Sylva was very excited. As we changed into our garb, she was going on and on about how this was her first-ever adult party, and she was so excited and curious to find out what happens. She had re-dyed her hair recently and spackled on way too much makeup for my tastes. Her brown eyes and brows were a huge contrast to her stark blond hair. She put on her purple sequined harem dancer outfit, this time foregoing the broad belt that helped to conceal her nudity under the diaphanous fabric.
I put on my new outfit, which Sylva had made herself. It was a medieval wench dress, cut with an asymmetrical hem rather than full length all the way around. It went up to just above my knee on my left side and swooped down to ankle length on the right. The top was a bodice type, cupping my breasts and lacing in the front. Sewn in a faded grass-green and complimented with a cream underdress, it matched my hair and skin tone quite well. It also fit excellently, and the waistline enhanced the contours of my butt, and the top lifted my breasts way up, showing off plenty of cleavage. My barely C-cups now looked like firm and high Ds at the very least.
As we finished up, Sylva produced a yellow velum envelope and handed it to me. My name was written upon it in an elegant, feminine hand. I opened it and saw an invitation to Kiera’s party.
“In celebration of her return to singleness, Mistress Kiera is hosting an adult-only party for selected invitees only. No admission without invitation, clothing optional, decadence required.”
“I, I don’t know if I’m up for that,” I said to Sylva as we left Glade’s pavilion. I had no ethical or moral reasons not to partake; I was just so nervous over seeing Glade once more after what I had done. Of course, fate chose that very moment to have him come into view.
He was headed towards his camp. My heart stopped beating; I forgot to breathe. Passion and pain welled up inside of me and mingled with each other. I felt like running to him and holding him, or like crying, or both.
He beamed out that perfectly crooked, pussy-dripping smile of his. “Ladies, what a pleasant surprise!” He came up to us, kissed both of our hands, hugged Sylva warmly and tightly and only nodded at me.
“We need to talk!” I erupted, and I hurriedly marched towards his tent. He shrugged, smiled, and followed.
I barged into his domain and stood by the center pole, trying to forget that he had once chained me to it at my request. He entered and looked me over with that same brazen approval he always does and then went to his storage chest. From it he pulled out a bottle of my favorite Pinot Noir and two long-stemmed gilded chalices. He pried out the cork with his dagger and poured it. I waited.
“Well, go ahead,” he said after toasting my exceptional beauty. “You obviously want to rip me some more.”
“No, damn you! I want to apologize for making a scene and breaking your heart. I got so caught up in everything that I didn’t know how I was feeling, and…”
He reached out and delicately quieted me by placing his finger over my lips. “I understand,” he said quietly. “I’m not exactly what one would call serious boyfriend material.” He laughed at himself over that comment and I laughed with him. “You did what you felt was right; there’s no dishonor in it.”
“Look,” I said. “I think I love you, but you can’t love me back.”
“What?”
“I’m poison! It never works out. You need to keep your distance from me. Sure it’s great now and the sex is mind-blowing, and you seem so perfectly amazing for me, and everything seems great now, but what then?” I became aware that I was babbling. I do that.
I went on. “I get jealous when the other women just look at you. I’m throwing myself at every guy or girl that winks at me just to get a rise out of you. It will be a disaster! I just can’t keep on…”
He grabbed me then and pulled me in, kissing my lips. His kiss was delicate at first; passionate, barely restrained. I lost myself and my line of thought as his lips consumed me. I found myself pulling him in closer, feeling his hard body against my softness. In that brief moment, stars were born while others exploded in fury.
“So, all made up now?” Sylva’s chuckling voice broke the kiss. I gave her my death stare as he broke our embrace. She was standing at the entrance to the pavilion with a look of delight on her face.
“No!” I cried out.
She ignored me and addressed Glade. “Tim has summoned you. Maris is awaiting you.”
“Who’s Tim?” I asked.
“The king,” Sylva said.
“King Tim,” I repeated, bemused.
As we trudged towards the fighting area, Glade spoke to me, freely, in front of Sylva.
“Look,” he began. “We can be just friends if you want, friends with benefits if you want, or anything else you desire. “
He paused and shrugged. “I’m not going to change, and I don’t expect anyone else to change for me. Neither of us have any say in what the other does, OK?”
“OK,” I agreed. “We’ll start with ‘just friends’. You may now hug me.”
He hugged me long and hard, even grabbing my ass in the process.
“Do you grab all of your lady friend’s behinds?” I asked him coquettishly.
“YES!” Sylva said.
The king, Tim, had a “throne” set up for me. While I had seen him around before, I had never really spoken to him. He was a kind, decent, funny man and probably about as geeky as one expects the king of a medieval re-creation group to be. He also propositioned me after a few minutes of chatting. He was gallant and polite about it, although a bit cheesy, and took me declining his offers quite well. I learned that he owned a local dispensary and Sylva worked there part-time.
“Are you and Glade back together?” he asked me.
“No,” I responded. “I don’t think that we are.”
“In that case,” he said triumphantly. “If you want some male companionship—to protect you from these perverted animals, that is—only I can truly treat you like a queen!”
He laughed wholeheartedly when I told him that was the cheesiest line I’d ever heard. “King” Tim was endearing and wonderful to be around. He reminded me of your high-school best friend’s cool, pothead older brother. Not exactly romance material, but a great guy.
I was still reeling from talking with Glade. He seemed so nonplussed about my previous tirade. According to Kiera he was really miserable. He didn’t seem to be. I was honestly looking forward to the extreme partying that always seems to happen here. Then I could forget all about my own self-induced woes and just flow with the revelry.
It was, however, really amazing to be fought over by two knights. If you ever have the opportunity to have two stalwart knights fight over your honor, do it!
Tim relayed the context to me, in between propositions, as we waited. It seemed that the night after I left, Maris and Glade were chatting, mending fences, so to speak, and Maris called me a “whore”. Glade challenged him right then and there, but Tim told them that it would need to be a formal duel. If Glade won then I would be proclaimed to be innocent of the insults leveled towards me. If Maris won then his insult was to be considered to be valid.
“So if Maris wins then I’m a whore?” I asked, more than a little upset over their logic, or lack thereof.
“Not at all,” Tim chimed in. “He just will not need to apologize to you.”
“And what would have happened if I didn’t show up?”
“They’d still fight because that gives us an excuse to let loose and enjoy what makes life worth living. “ He held out a silvered tray of candies. “Chocolate? It comes from my store; herbal enhanced.”
“Ah, King Tim, no brownies?”
“Later,” he said. “Later. They’re baking right now.”
Sir Maris took the field and approached me. He apologized for his slight against me and explained that he was merely attempting to cheer Glade up. I forgave him and wished him well in battle. Glade then took the field in full battle regalia, including my old red sash. They both fought well, long and hard.
At several moments I felt that Glade was going to lose. King Tim pointed out to me that my ex-lover was toying with Maris. As the battle went on, Tim pointed out the openings that Glade obviously saw, but ignored. Glade won, keeping my “honor” intact.
At the point of a sword, Maris apologized for insulting my honor. To see if I could get a reaction from Glade, I bent forward and kissed Maris, thanking him for his chivalry.
“I’m not a ‘whore’, brave Sir Maris,” I said to him with a smile on my face. “Whores charge money; I give it away for free.”
Glade reacted, just not how I had hoped. He threw back his head and laughed and egged Sir Maris on! “Kiss her good, Maris!” he laughed out. “It is paradise.”
With the excuse to gather out of the way, King Tim made some announcements. The showers were currently not working on the property. That sucked even though they never really got hot, only slightly less cold. He also had to attend his store, so he had to leave for the rest of the weekend. Finally, he said that since he was king, his word was our command. He then commanded us to have a great time and mentioned that he had some magic brownies just finishing being baked and that there was plenty of grilled food that his sister, the queen, had sent over.
We ate, feasted actually, on extremely good food. We drank mead and honeyed wine; plus I ran back to my ex-lover’s pavilion and stole the bottle of Pinot. We had some dancing and music, and I even let Kiera and Sylva teach me a bit of their period dancing. Glade and I spoke intermittently, awkward at first but then becoming comfortable. I should correct that. I was awkward at first; he took it all in stride.
Kiera took great delight in pointing out and introducing me to her chosen few for her party. For women it was her, Sylva, and me. There were seven men—because seven is the perfect number, she said—including Glade. She didn’t know if Glade was actually going to show up and participate, though.
I told her that I was uncertain if I would attend her sex party myself.
“Of course you are, honey.” She said to me. “I knew from the moment that I saw you. You’re exactly like me. You’re just afraid of your power.”
Night fell as the party went into full throttle. Those that were there with their own small groups went their own way. Kiera went to the very large tent where she camped. I stayed behind and chatted with some of the other group members that were not involved in the adult side of things. I was really waiting to see if Glade would make an appearance. He had wandered off someplace, as I discovered he does quite often. Eventually the others went down to their own campsite, leaving me alone.
I was feeling no pain yet still in total control of my capacities. Oddly, being around these people had made me feel worlds better. I debated going to my ex-lover’s tent to sleep. I thought about leaving. I decided that I could at least go see if Kiera’s parties live up to all the hype I’d heard. Grabbing another brownie, I made the trek over to the large tent. It reminded me of a miniature circus tent.
As I approached, I could see some dim lighting illuminating the interior and hear some raucous laughter. People were obviously having a good time. I went to enter only to find the flap closed and a small wooden sign that read “knock.”
I knocked and I could see the flap being undone from the inside. A man named Glen, whom I’d seen around, emerged and greeted me by name. He was handsome, dark, and not into ladies at all. He requested my invitation and I showed it to him. He explained that he and his boyfriend were on guard duty and asked me to wait. He went inside to talk to Kiera, leaving the flap open. Through the opening I could see her lying on a mattress covered with furs and cloth. She definitely looked decadent. She smiled, nodded, and waved towards me.
I was allowed to enter, and the sight before me was nothing short of shocking. The interior was dimly lit with lanterns and some candles. Kiera was dressed in a white, very much see-through top that was little more than a strip of gauze wrapped around her breasts and a tiny loincloth made of small metal plates that looked like snake scales. Every time she moved, it was obvious that she wore nothing underneath. Her meticulously manicured patch of pubic hair peeked out. Four men surrounded her in various stages of undress, lavishing her with attention.
Sylva was across from her, near the other side of the tent. She was dancing before one man, seated on the ground, and another was behind her, shirtless, grinding into her behind. Glen was talking with another man that I always saw him with. From what I understood, they were dedicated lovers. Glade was also there, which explained his absence from the other festivities. He lounged against a pile of cushions, gently plucking at a guitar and providing ambience. He seemed quite jovial.
