The evening wind was fouled by the sweaty smell of the male folks who had been training in large numbers. War was coming and they couldn’t be caught off guard. The intense regimen had caused them to break down so much sweat which had been ferried the nostrils of unsuspecting ladies, causing some to spit out in disgust while others seemed to be so pleased with the foul smell till it caused them to inhale with a smile. Evening was here and most young men had paired up with their lovers to brag to them on how good they had turned out in the training regimen. Everyone seemed to move in pairs except for the young lady that stood by the path that led all visitors to the hamlets. She kept on gazing in succession to catch the glimpse of a figure of fancy but could find none.
” So what are you looking for at this juncture. Shouldn’t you be at home sleeping or doing chores for your mother.” A feminine voice said to her.
” My mother is dead.” Said Luitsi and turned abruptly with a scowl on her face.
” Your stepmom is your mom by culture. We work by it.” Said Bonis, a maiden of catoris palace who helped did chores and Laundry.
” Fuck the culture! What are you doing here to. Did Catori send you to spy on me as he always does?” She asked with a flat face. Perhaps a positive answer was going to take off the scowl.
” Damn you Dear. You dream too big. The king has a thousand things on his mind. You have also seen the thing of beauty he brought with him. Oh my god I’m a lady but I find it difficult to take my eyes of her. She…”
” Blah Blah … Don’t you have some plates to wash or some dogs to bathe in the king’s house. You are disturbing my peace.” Said Luitgi, whose scowl was quick to be enacted.
” Bathe Dogs? What do you mean by bathe Dogs. Stop saying bullshit. At least think before you talk Luitsi. I do not believe you are mad. You just think less.” Said Bonis and waved her head in shock. Her words made Luitgi a little happy and she smiled.
” You don’t think I’m mad? What do you think of me.” She said and quickly walked to Bonis side and took her wrist in her hands.
” Yes I don’t think you are mad. Why do you deny the fact that Amelia is made like a god. See how white her skin is and how full her hips are. See her crimson lips and oh my good, have you seen how pointed her nipples get when she wears that red gown of Natalie.
” Natalie is dead. Why do you look at a woman like that. Are you okay.” Said Luitgi and took her hands off her friends wrist.
” I’m not taking about Natalie from the plane crash. I’m talking about Amelia the girl you sat next to yesterday. The pretty girl with blonde …”
” Enough. If she’s so damn beautiful then Catori can make her his bride for all I care. My man would take me for what I am soon. I can feel it.” She said with a smile on her and hurried back to the exact spory where she had earlier left.
” Oh I see. When I call you beautiful and pretty, you smile and hold my hands, you even hug me. But when I ascribe those words to someone else, you get angry and attack my sexuality. I came to see you because I wasn’t happy about how sad you felt in the gathering, but if you will do is stand there and judge my sexuality, then fine. Get lost.” Bonis said and angrily turned to take her leave.
” Wait Bonis. Why are you leaving. I’m lonely. I have been waiting all evening for Agiyon and he hasn’t returned yet. I pray he is alright.” She said in a sober tone as she gazed at her slim friend who was so slim she almost had no curves visible. Her smallish stature only matters worse in making her look like a kid unless for her tiny breasts which had sprouted out and hung erect on her chest as it was too small to even afford a curve. No boy really ever wanted anything serious with her and neither did she want anything to do with them to. She was fond of the most beautiful girls in the village and did all she could to become friends with them. Over the years, she had noticed that the luitsi who was hands down the most beautiful maiden in the all the clan was handicapped, thus got rebuked by the suitors she liked. She saw her as an easy prey to racialize her sexuality and do so with full confidence since she believed that even if the lady spoke about it, no one was going to believe her.
” Agiyon you say. I pray he never comes back. All he does is takes your mind away from me. There is nothing he can give that I can give you. I can do it better.” Said Bonis and frowned her face, turning her back to her friend.
” Bonis. I want him to come back. You are my friend. He is my man.” She said in an innocent tone. She couldn’t bring her mind to wrap up why Bonis had always done things like a man and even tried to kiss her on many occasion. She concluded it was a kind of social level which she understands because she had a broken mind. Apart from friendship, she knew not the intentions of the palace maiden.
” Forget about that drunkard. Have you taken a bath today. Let’s go to the stream and have a night bath. I hear the fisherman don’t fish at night any more.” Said Bonis as she turned her gaze towards the bare bosoms of Luitsi She wanted to know what they felt like and what they tasted like but she didn’t know how luitsi was going to react.
” Yes I took my bath in the morning. It’s cold I don’t want to bath again.”
” Oh my God you bath just once a day? Oh my god? Really you bath just once a day as girl.” Bonis exclaimed in seriousness.
” Yes I bath just once. I’m doing anything wrong. Why do you say oh my god so much.” Said Luitsi as she peered at Bonis in anticipation.
” It’s the reason why Catori don’t find you attractive. All maidens including I , bath at least three times a day. It’s the only way you can get a husband in this village.” Said Bonis and waved her head in a pitiful manner. ” Bonis are you about this? If I take my baths regularly would the king love me.” She asked in soft tenor of inquisition before holding the hands of Bonis in affinity.
” That Amelia that you resent so much takes her bath almost every hour. I haven’t seen a maiden so clean in my whole life.” She said, causing her Luitsi to gaze at he feet and smelled her armpits.” I’m not very dirty I’m i?” She asked Bonis with a frown on her face.
” I’m afraid to disappoint you my dear, but you stink.” Said Bonis and spat to the floor. It caused luitsi to take her hand off her and took some steps away from her. She sniffed herself vigorously but didn’t smell anything more odd than sweat and the musk oil Agiyon had given to her.
” I smell of musk. Here me sent.” She said and pushed her hands to nose of her friend. ” Does Catori hate Musk so much?” She asked with a visible fright on her face.
” He hates it more than you can think. Wash it off tonight and you may end up having him in your hands.” Said Bonis.
” Really? ” She asked in awe.
” I always used to ask myself why a pretty lady like yourself was getting rejected by the boys. I never knew you didn’t bath so often. Oh that’s so awful.”
” We should go the stream and take a bath now. Let’s go.” She said and held the hands of her friend and began to walk her along the dark path.
” Isn’t it too cold for the night. Yes it can get you in the hands of the king tonight but it’s quite Cold and dark.” Said Bonis in a pretentious plea.
” No it’s not so cold. I know an area by the flanks where it’s always warm. I will take you there.” She insisted as she walked to the stream in the silver of the night. Bonis didn’t argue again till they were at the bank of the stream. All through the journey. Soon they were at the empty stream and it didn’t even remind luitsi of Agiyon. She had forgotten about him and her mind on getting the king himself.
” Bonis watched with astonishment as her crush pulled up her knitted panties leaving her bare in the nudes. She felt like applying her, back first on the tree and giving her thorough kiss.
” Bonis! What are you waiting for? Won’t you bathe.” She said to her friend as she paused to learn on the validity of their prescription.
” Go ahead, I’m coming in.” She said and took of her own panties leaving her with nothing but cotton beads over her waist. She hurried into the water and began to think of the easiest way to get her hands on the alluring body of Luitsi.”
” My grandma told me of a way to bath which all men can’t resist. Not even kings and not even the father’s of kings.” Bonis said as she slurred water over her head and down to her chest.
” Oh don’t cry. I will teach you. It’s a good thing that both of us are here alone. Swim over her and place your hands on beneath my breast. There are some dirts there and my hands can’t wipe them clean. Kings and all men hate it so much. Clean my and I shall wipe yours very clean even if I have to use my tongue. I want the king for you and you alone.” She said and Turner her Bony back to her crush who was to innocent to know what was happening. She placed her palms under the breast of Bonis and wiped it up even though she could feel nothing but water. ” No! Not so fast. I have those sweats on my breast. Be easy on them they hurt.” She said and was closing her eyes while Luitsi worked her palms over the spongy breast of her friend.
” Why are you breathing so hard? Are you okay.”
” Keep on the good work. I feeling cleaned thats why. It’s how you feel when you start getting cleaned. It’s a feeling of ecstasy and pure joy. Luitsiii.” She called out as her breath began to transpose to soft moans.
” Yes Bonis.”
” We are all girls. So alike. I want your palms between my legs. I have the sweat there to.” She said and held the hands of her friend and slid it down her belly, through the water and eventually the soft crouch between her legs which was submerged in water. Luitsi felt it was odd to touch her friend in such a confined region but since she was watching off her fingers intervals, she kept on wiping her crouch till she felt Bonis palms over her wrist.
” Inside. Go deep” she moaned and guided the long finger of luitsi to go into her. Keep cleaning!” She moaned out and got the idle hands of the young lady to resume work on her breast.
” Harder! I’m almost cleaned. Faster! Yes please. Luitsi faster.” She said breaking down in sobs as her commands were obeyed with loyalty.
” Why are you Crying bonis? Did I hurt you?” She asked when she realized her friend could hardly stand in the warm water which now had a glossy tincture in it’s surface.
” No not at all my dear. I got all the dirty sweat out. Just see them float away on the surface. Come I will get yours out and the king would cry to have you Tonight.” Said Bonis as he breathed heavily in relief.
” Oh mine. Thank you Bonis. You are kind.” Said Luitsi and turned her back to her friend leaving all her body parts at the mercy of the Cleaner. ” I will start by cleaning your nipples. They are black for a reason. Can you guess why?” She asked her friend. ” Yes maybe because too much of the bad sweat stays there.”
” You are right and full of intelligence. Don’t turn your back on me just yet. Look at me.” Said Bonis and slowly propelled her crush to face her like they were on the dancing floor. She wanted to taste her lips so bad but didn’t yet have a theory to successfully hack it through. She was going to make what she had count and leave the rest to chance.
” I will clean them with my lips. Its how my grandma thought me. It’s going to tickle and it’s going to feel good. Don’t fight it. Just flow with it okay.” She said and brought her lips to cup the nearest nipple she could find near her mouth. It wasn’t immaterial the one she sucked first. She had all the time and expertise in the world and she was going to suck both nipples.
” It tickles Bonis. Differently though. Ouch.” She exclaimed from the bizarre type of feeling she was experiencing for the first time in her life.
” Do you like it. It’s me cleaning you out for the king to love.” She said with her head held up, gazing at the eyes of Luitsi with so much passion.
” I don’t know what this feeling is. I think….”
” Shhhh. Don’t fight it.” Bonis assured and placed her lips on the neglected nipple, while her palms went to work on the areola of the idle one.
” She could hear as the breathing of luitsi got tensed as she obeyed the strange feeling in her system. She looked to the heavens for answers but couldn’t even remember the questions she had thrown at it. Bonis was working magic on her and what ever it was that she was doing to her, she didn’t want it to stop anytime soon. She was sucked, caressed, pressed, squeezed and finally it was time to feel the inner warmth of her moaning crush. She slowly walked her way fingers down the water, onto the thick thighs of Luitsi, and eventually over the deep line between the upper thighs of luitsi. Slowly she located the opening and was shocked to find it intact.
” My goodness. You are really a…”
” What’s that Bonis. I’m I clean enough. I don’t feel well down my …”
” Hushhh… I’m cleaning you. You are so sweaty in this region. It’s the main reason why no youth come after you. Let me in.” She said and exacted pressure on her middle finger causing Luitsi to moan out in pleasure. She achieved her thrust before she could shut her legs in pain.
” You are hurting me. Take it out… Bonis please..” she begged in confusion as Bonises long finger swiped upwards and downward in coordinated motions. Getting scared that her crush was getting too loud. She went for the ultimate and placed a kiss on the lips of her Luitsi who cringed in shock. It was at this stage she felt something sexual had been done to her.
” Why are you kissing me? I’m a lady like you.” She said and staggered backward in shock, and sliding away from the prick of Bonises finger.
” Wait. It’s all part of the cleaning.” Said Bonis and swam towards her.
” Stay away. Why did you kiss me. It’s a taboo. I better get going. Agiyon better be back to bring me my dinner.” She said and begin to swim to the shore which was just a feet away. She could feel the sensation of a bruise in her inner legs and it got more intense when she stood up to leave the water. She noticed blood rolling down her thighs.
” Bonis you tore my skin. I’m bleeding blood and not sweat. Where would I get a Napkin.” She cried out as she stood confused in the water. It eloped Bonis with so much guilt that she had taken the chastity of her long term crush in such a deregoratory manner. She never expected to find her a virgin and she should have let her keep it since it was not consensual.
” Luitsi. I’m sorry.” She called out and began to swim to the shore.
” It’s okay. You are a good friend but behave crazy. And you say I’m the mad one. I will wait here. Go fetch me a napkin from my step mother’s room. Tell her it’s mine. She knows where to fetch it.” Said luitgi and walked to a tree to rest her tired bones.
” Will get you a new napkin. Don’t go anywhere.” Said Bonis in a sullen tone as she wore her panties and walked away. No sooner had she left did luigi hear a strange noise in the surrounding bushes. It was horrid and caused her to stand on her feet.
