Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 15:28:10 -0800 (PST) From: Selena Anders Subject: Concubine As one of the chief concubines of the Queen, my mother is technically a slave, and so am I. But we are a lot better off than many free people. Her Majesty even let my mom have a man once, which is how I came to be. I have always done lots of cleaning around the palace; everything from floors to fine glass cups, but still it was a shock to receive a summons from the Queen Herself. I put on my best skirt, which still wasn't all that fancy by palace standards, and entered the throne room. There were dozens of women there, all very beautiful, for the Queen will have none other in Her sight, all bare breasted as is the custom at court. My mother stood proudly at the Queen's left hand, ready to provide food or wine or whatever Her Majesty might require. I had not lived my whole 9 years in the palace without learning what to do in such situations, so I walked straight toward the Queen, and knelt at the foot of the dais. I bent to touch my forehead to the bottom step, and waited for the Queen to notice me. She turned to my mother, "Your little one is well trained, and really quite pretty. This evening, would you please find her something a little more delicate to wear, perhaps in dark blue, then bring her to my chambers?" This request, made in public court, caused something of a flutter among the other women. Many of them had older daughters who had been striving for the royal notice for years. My mother's status at court had just gone up, but so had the jealousy of some women she would have to work with. The Queen made a motion of dismissal, and my mother descended to take me by the hand and out of the throne room. My mother had always bathed me and washed my hair every day, wanting to make me as beautiful as possible, but would never let me dress well or use perfume or kohl upon my eyes. She was used to court intrigue, and did not want to be seen pushing her daughter before the Queen. But she knew the palace schedule, and made sure I was always the one scrubbing the floor wherever Her Majesty went. Other concubines had daughters less willing to clean the royal chamber-pot. "Come, Dia," my mother said, "we must get you ready". As we went, Mother began to remind me of my lessons. Ever since I can remember, she had spent one or two nights a week with the Queen, and when she got back she would show me exactly what sexual subtleties seemed to please Her Majesty best. I spent endless hours practicing licking her pussy and that of a few of the other concubines who were my mother's best friends. One of them was a nice lady who Mom said had a sex almost exactly like the Queen's, so my mom encouraged me to practice on her a lot. In the daytime I studied poetry and philosophy, mathematics and astrology, whenever my duties permitted. Mom and I walked to the concubine's quarters, where we share a single room that opens onto a courtyard with a large bathing pool. A few women and girls were relaxing in the late-afternoon shade. Almost all of them were my friends, since my mother's political enemies were mostly still in court. My mother called out, "Dia has been chosen to serve the Queen this night! Come help me prepare her!" That is when it hit me. I was about to become not just a concubine's daughter, but a Royal Concubine in my own right! All I had to do was be good enough tonight to be asked to serve Her Majesty again. The only thing worse in the slave quarters than never being called to the Queen's bed, was to be called once and never again. Tonight would be my test. But for now, my friends were all over me, leading me toward the bathing pool to make sure I was totally purified. They scented the pool by floating gardenias in it, and a few of my special friends climbed into the pool to receive me. I was stripped and some of the older concubines held my hands as I stepped down into the pool and into the arms of the other young girls. They scrubbed me with sponges, paying special attention to my hairless little slit. The older women sitting around the edge of the pool laughed at me as I moaned in pleasure. They each remembered their first time with the Queen, and some even with the old Queen before ours. Preparing me was the duty of those who had not yet had that honour, so most of the hands sliding over my body were those of 7 or 8-year olds. But one girl was my best friend, 12-year-old Pia, who was cursed with a wine-colored blotch on her face, and so had given up on ever being called to service the Queen. But it was her hands, soaping me with a sureness of long practice that felt the best. Again the older women helped me out of the bathing pool, followed by the other girls who had not yet been called. The girls dried me with the softest towels and dusted me with scented powders. There was a small commotion, as many of the women from court returned to the harem area. Some, whose older daughters had not yet been called, looked daggers at me, as though it was my fault that their children had been passed over. My mother had been absent during my bathing, but she returned soon enough with the most wonderful skirt I ever saw. She had been to visit the royal costumer, and got on loan a skirt of dark blue expensive cloth, far finer than anything I had ever worn before. It was almost completely see-through, and there was a slit up the front all the way to the little real gold belt buckle. My mom put it on me and then got out a necklace of gold and lapis lazuli, that perfectly matched the skirt. She put that on me and went on to brush out my long brown hair. Mom was really nervous, because she didn't want me to shame her in the Queen's bed-chamber. I had been there lots of times before, but only to scrub things clean, never as the honored concubine. Mom repeated my lessons about only using my fingers if Her Majesty wanted food, since to approach the royal person with anything dangerous like a fork was unthinkable. She fussed over me until the sun showed that it was approaching the Queen's supper hour, then led me out of our little room. The eyes of every woman and girl in the harem courtyard followed us as she led me away toward the Queen's residential wing of the palace. At the door of the Queen's outer chamber, my mother stopped in front of the Amazon guards. She gave my hand a little squeeze so I looked up at her to see an expression of pleading in her eyes. I knew that she was praying that I wouldn't embarrass her. Then she turned and walked away as one of the guards opened the door and I walked through. I had scrubbed every inch of this room lots of times, but still I was met formally by the old chief concubine. She had to be more than 60 years old. I had long known what to expect, so I didn't flinch as she ran her hands through my hair, then up my inner thighs to my sex. Finding no weapons anywhere, she gave my clitty a quick flick with her fingertip before withdrawing her hand from the slit in my skirt. Then she turned and opened the door to the inner chamber, and I walked though. My first thought as I entered, was that I had never seen all the candles in there actually lit before. Many times I had cleaned the candle holders, but that had always been in the day when I could see by the sunlight that came in through the high windows. But evening was coming on, so the flickering lights danced in the faint warm draft of the room. Quickly I paid attention to the low platform where the Queen's bed was raised, just like Her throne in the room of state. Her Majesty lay there, quietly smiling at me, and she absolutely glowed in Her simple gown of the finest cotton from Egypt. Sitting on the bed behind Her, for it is a very large bed, was Shalia. Shalia is really nice, and she and my mom are always in a good-natured competition for the Queen's choice of favorite concubine. She has no daughter, so she has sort of adopted me to help me learn the lessons of love. She smiled at me too. I decided to be bold, and walk right up, dip my forehead to the lowest step of Her bed platform, then rise without permission. I looked for the choicest of the fruits on the little tables around the royal bed, and both my eyes and my nose were drawn to a plate of lamb meat, cooked with a whiff of tarragon. I snatched up a small chunk and brazenly mounted the steps to hold it within inches of the Queen's lips. The Queen turned lazily over to look at Shalia, "What a deliciously impudent little girl we have here!" She turned back to me. "Bring the food tables closer, then kneel on the bed with us and feed us." She took the morsel of meat from me, and that was the first time I ever felt the kiss of Her royal lips on my fingers. Eagerly I did Her bidding, choosing raspberries and dipping them in sugar, or peeled grapes, or wedges of sweet small oranges. Her Majesty offered no instructions, so I just offered Her what my instincts told me she would most like next. The Queen leaned back on a huge bolster pillow as I fed first Her, then Shalia, and occasionally asked for wine. Often as I fed Her, she sucked my fingers into Her mouth. She asked me a few polite questions about my studies, but seemed more interested in exploring my body by lightly brushing me all over with Her fingertips. "Move your knees a little wider, dear." She said, and I did so, wide enough to slightly part my sex lips for Her. Then she told me to take the plumpest grape I could find, hold it lightly between my teeth, and deliver it mouth to mouth. Shalia reached out and unhooked the neckace from around my neck, for fear that it might scratch the Royal person. That was my first time kissing the Queen. She turned out to be an aggressive kisser, and she put Her hand behind my neck to mash us harder together. Our tongues tossed that grape around until it disintegrated in a sweet flow of juice. My mother had told me that the Queen liked to have Her aggressiveness returned with enthusiasm, so I did my best to drive my tongue past Hers to tickle Her tonsils. Then I felt Her delicate fingers begin to stroke my slit. She was very gentle about it, in contrast to our meeting of mouths. I felt Her finger slip up inside my cunny hole, then glide up my slit until it barely brushed my clit. I gasped at the pleasure, and our kiss was broken. What if I were to faint? It was unthinkable to have an unconscious girl collapse on top of the Queen. Somehow I managed to keep myself under control as She continued to play with my sex. The Queen smiled as I wriggled against Her finger, teasing me. "Untie my robe." Her Majesty whispered. I raised myself so that I could reach the knot of the sash at Her waist. She raised the finger that had been probing my slit to Her lips, and grinned at me as she sucked it clean. I was only a little surprised to find that Shalia had already moved in between the Queen's legs and parted the lower portion of Her robe. Shalia was licking her way up the Royal thighs toward the thick bush of pubic hair that was legendary among the concubines. I pulled the bow free from Her middle, and the robe fell away from Her chest. Of course I had seen Her beautiful breasts before, as She had led the practice of going bare-chested at court. The Queen had good reason to want to display Her gorgeous body, and Her medium-large tits thrust out proudly with prominent brownish-pink nipples. As Her gown fell away, I gazed at them more closely than ever before. She cupped Her breasts in Her hands, moving them around a bit without ever hiding Her nipples from my eyes. "Please them. Please me." She purred. Again my years of instruction by my mother and other concubines told me what to do to please Her. Again I leaned over Her, this time with my mouth over Her right breast, while my right hand moved to firmly pinch Her left nipple. My tongue started to trace long wet streaks from the bottom of Her tits up to linger fleetingly on Her nipple before repeating the stroke from a different direction. Each time I ended with a quick swirl or dance on the tips of Her nipples that had grown to be 3/4 inch long. Meanwhile my hand was just a bit rough with Her other nipple. Mom had told me about the soft-and-wet approach versus the hard-and-dry method. I used both. The Queen leaned back, closed Her eyes, and started to moan as I switched techniques from one nipple to the other. I couldn't tell whether that was because of what I was doing to Her breasts, or because Shalia's tongue was beginning to lap at the swollen outer lips of the Queen's sex. Suddenly the Queen sat straight up, and said, "Thank you Shalia. You have done very well as always, but you know that I planned this night to be with Dia. You may retire, but I will call you again soon." With what seemed to me to be great dignity, Shalia withdrew her arms from under the Queen's thighs, and her mouth from that hairy pussy that looked like a patch of dew-covered grass. She arose and stood for a moment at the foot of the royal bed, bowed slightly, then turned to depart. Just as she was turned far enough away from Her Majesty, Shalia flashed me a smile and a quick wink. Once the door had shut silently behind the older slave, the Queen said, "Now let's see if you can finish what your elder has started. Now between my legs with you." All the other concubines had told me that the Queen likes a little bit of sauciness from Her lovers, so instead of moving immediately, I replied, "May I place that nice thick cushion under your hips? I'm sure I could do a much better job if you would allow it." With a small smile, She simply raised Her hips up, so I quickly snatched the pillow and slid it under the base of Her spine. So it was, that seconds later when I dove between Her legs, the royal bottom was tilted up for me to have easy access. Taking a chance on handling the royal person, I place my hands behind Her knees, then lift and part them so She is in what we call the frog position, totally exposed with Her knees reaching toward Her elbows. There is a tiny rivulet of woman-juice, slowly oozing out of Her sex and flowing thickly down toward Her bum hole. It is the same brownish pink as Her nipples. I gently blow on Her sex, but wait until Her flow reaches that back crater before my tongue dives in, forcing some of that slick juice back inside Her. My nose is buried in the Queen's love hole, and the scent of Her woman-musk is overpowering, causing me to have to discipline myself again not to faint. I take several minutes to let Her Majesty enjoy the way my tongue wriggles inside Her bum hole, and by the time I withdraw she is clutching the bed sheets with her perfectly manicured finger-nails. She is ready for orgasm, so I drag my tongue from Her back hole upwards, collecting Her cream on the way. I pass over the entrance to Her vagina and deliver my load of Her secretions directly on top of Her clitoris, flattening my tongue against it. "Aaaaaaggggghhhh!" the Queen screams, and the stone walls of Her huge bed-chamber echo the sound as She cums, squirting a jet of joy juice against my chin, to run down my neck. It has been a fairly simple matter to bring the Queen to orgasm, but I have been instructed that She expects much more than that. She expects to be kept at that peak of excitement for as long as possible, with wave after wave of delight washing over Her constantly until She can no longer stand any more pleasure. It is a kind of contest between Queen and concubine, to find out who will last longer; the receiver or the giver. I realize that now is the time to dive into the well of the Queen's woman fluid. Her upturned vagina has dilated almost as if She were about to give birth, so I slip three fingers inside. I have been instructed about how to find Her glory-spot, and her reaction tells me that my teachers told me truly. Instantly more thick fluid boils up from the depths of the royal cunt, coating my fingers, so I move my face down to suck at the entrance to that cave, and my slickery fingers easily penetrate Her bum hole. And so begins the long dance of fingers and tongue, versus two holes, labia and clitoris. I have been warned that the Queen has a huge appetite for sexual pleasure, and that I must satisfy Her at all costs. I frantically nibble and nip at her thick fleshy lips, and must occasionally snatch a stray pubic hair from between my teeth, but somewhere in the back of my mind I can hear my mother's voice telling me to keep going, keep going^Å At last the Queen grasps my hair and forces my head from between Her royal thighs. "Heavens, child! Do you mean to assassinate me with pleasure?" I look into Her sparkling eyes, and know that She is not really displeased, but I still must answer humbly, "No, I mean no, Your Majesty." "That's good. But I have only had a finger taste of you. Cum and sit on my face, and let me truly taste you." I obey, and soon discover that my Queen is as expert at giving pleasure as She is at demanding it. I am ashamed that when She brings me to my orgasm it is only the trickle of a 9-year-old, rather than the gush of a real woman. But my Queen murmurs the words, "Oh, so sweet. Now cum into my arms little one, and sleep." She lay on her side with my back pressed into her still-hard nipples until I fell asleep. I dreamed that I woke up with the candles all gone out, and I was lying on my tummy with that same cushion under my hips, while She did amazing things with her tongue in my bum hole. But of course that was a dream, for it is not the course of nature that a Queen should kiss a concubine's bum. The next day I woke up with my mother shaking me. I was still in the royal bed, but Her Majesty was gone. Mother said, "Hurry, little one. We must get you bathed and ready for court." Mother practically dragged me back to the concubines' rooms, and again the youngsters bathed me, but making it quicker this time. They put a new skirt on me, even finer than the one in which I had attended Her Majesty, and a gold necklace. Mother didn't even have time to comb out my hair, which stayed in the wild jumble of a girl just out of bed as we ran back to the throne room for morning court. The throne was still mostly empty as my mother took her place, this time at the right hand side of the throne. There was a bowl of fruit just to the side at the top of the dais, and I was told to sit by it, just in case the Queen wanted some refreshment. This day it was Shalia who stood to the Queen's left. As the throne room filled with the usual sycophants, I could tell they all noticed the new arrangement. Then it struck me. Only the Queen and Her favored concubines were allowed to be on the top step of the dais. I was accepted as a true Royal Concubine! Then the Amazon herald announced the entry of Her Majesty, and I watched my new lover approach Her throne.
