Sisterhood - Temptation Ch. 19

Mari led them back into the long bedroom. They made their way past the first of the row of beds.

Josephine put her arm around Ivy's shoulders, "Now I'm just thinking about how I can make you do that sexy scream again," she giggled, nuzzling her face into Ivy's neck. She called out to Mari, "Does Anna have any spiders?"

"No," Mari replied, "She has snakes, and she has birds."

"Hers was the garden with the bird cages that we saw outside?" asked Josephine.

"Right," Mari nodded, "That's where most of them are kept."

"Are the cats hers too?" said Josephine, "There was a load of cats in the hallway earlier, when I was walking around."

"Those just live here. But it's her sister, mostly, that looks after them," Mari smiled subtly to herself, as if recalling, "She's the one with a thing for cats."

They passed the bed in which Katharina had lain earlier, with Ivy. It was the penultimate one before the opposite doorway. Through the curtains she saw the crumpled bedcover within. The bed stood out from the others as unmade, used.

"Er, should we perhaps tidy up a bit?" Katharina glanced across at the bed. She pictured vividly the damp patches that she and Ivy had left behind, and the cum-smeared pillow. It irritated her to think of them, left there, and of someone finding them later.

"Nah," Mari chuckled, flicking her hand through the air to dismiss the thought. She looked at Katharina, and rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, goodie-goodie girl, I take full responsibility. It's all on me."

"Okay," Katharina laughed at her, "Well, let me just gather up my clothes."

Katharina could feel that the smear that Josephine's pussy had left on her fingers had dried away, and the traces of cum still on her face had turned to flakes, now tugging tightly at her skin. Not wanting to dirty her clothes, she checked her hands and her body quickly for any stray patches of wetness. Satisfied, she stooped to pick up her blouse from the floor beside the bed, where she had discarded it. She took it in one hand, and then turned to the next bed. She tugged aside the curtains and leaned in to fetch her pants and her underwear. She gathered the clothes in a bundle, then turned back to where the others were waiting for her.

Mari was pulling two ragged pieces of ochre brown fabric up her arms and over her shoulders, carefully hefting up the snake to slip the shoulder straps under its body. "Oh my," she gasped, "Whatever happened to this?"

"Woah," Josephine reached out, wide-eyed. She touched the irregular, frayed edge of Mari's torn dress, "Who tore your clothes off? That is so fucking hot!"

"Katja?" Ivy laughed.

Katharina hesitated. She was irritated to feel her cheeks heating up. "Roleplay," she mumbled. She folded her own clothes over her arm, "So, let's go. The showers are back through there, right?"

She headed for the door by which they had first entered, and found Mari falling into step with her at her side. From behind, she could hear Josephine laughing with Ivy, "Why didn't you rip my clothes off, huh?"

They entered the main chamber. Katharina had the impression of revisiting a place she had not been for some time. It was difficult to judge how long they had spent in Anna's bedroom. The sensation derived perhaps in part from how different she felt. She was naked, and aware of a slight stickiness of sweat on her skin, along with the flaking patches of cum.

Mari lifted the snake's tail to point at the middle of the three doors in the opposite wall, "Just got to put Julie back. Then we can go shower."

As they crossed the room, Katharina paused by one of the tall armchairs that sat around the central rug. She laid her clothes draped over the back of it. "Julie?" she called out to Mari.

At the door, Mari put her elbow on the handle and leaned down, "She names them after the other girls."

Katharina followed Mari into relative darkness. For a moment all she saw was the ring of small dim lamps, set at even intervals around the edges of a small room. Then she saw that each lamp was hanging by a cord from the ceiling, suspending it over one end of a tall glass container. The containers sat on a long wooden surface that encircled the room at its edges, broken only by the doorway by which they had entered, and another in the opposite wall.

"Wow," said Josephine, stepping in behind them. She crept forward with slow, light footsteps, to look inside one of the nearest glass tanks.

Katharina, too, felt compelled to walk slowly, not wanting to disturb the quiet. From the back of the room came the hum of a small machine of some sort, perhaps one of those that purifies or dries the air. She stood at one end of the tank that Josephine was examining, and felt the heat that was radiating from the lamp in front of her face. Coiled inside the tank and basking beneath the lamp was another mottled python, much larger and thicker than the one that Mari held.

"So which one is this?" Katharina looked up.

Mari was laying the other python carefully inside a tank on the opposite side of the room. She skipped over to Katharina, "Well. This is by far the fattest one. So..."

"You want to make me say something rude?" Katharina grinned.

"Well come on," Mari clapped her hands to Katharina's buttocks and shook them up and down, "Who has a giant truckload of ass?"

"Ooh, I like a bit of ass on a girl," Josephine looked up, and called to Ivy, who was standing in front of the doorway, "Ivy, which of your head girls has a big plush butt?"

"Marianne, of course," Ivy snorted, "Fucking huge."

"Ivy," Katharina giggled.

"What?" Ivy shrugged, "It is."

"Wow, well I hope I get to be her pet. Is she nice?" asked Josephine, still peering into the tank, "Is she hot?"

There was a brief silence. Katharina exchanged a glance with Mari, who simply smiled at her. Considering it for a moment, Katharina realized that it was probably Ivy's responsibility to sound Josephine out about being offered. Judging by Josephine's remark, Ivy had already at least broached the subject, or somebody had. Nonetheless Katharina had a strong impression that the other two were waiting for her to say something now, that she had somehow fallen in to the role of responsible leader. If Ivy had more sexual experience, then even by her own reckoning Katharina had the greater knowledge of the workings of the Sisterhood. She found she was quietly happy with the notion.

"Well," Katharina stood beside Josephine and joined her in contemplating the large snake, basking and motionless, "Marianne. She is kind of stern, perhaps. She's sort of in charge of a lot of things. But I guess she's nice, yeah."

"And hot?" Josephine turned to grin at her.

"Definitely," Katharina nodded, "Long red hair, very elegant, curvy, you know."

"Ooh," Ivy giggled, mocking, "Who has the hots for headmistress?"

"Hah," Mari stuck out her tongue at Ivy, "Bet you'd be singing a different tune if she were here right now." She put her hands beneath her chin and fluttered her eyes in a caricature of simpering deference, "'Yes Miss Marianne, please Miss Marianne, let me swallow your dick Miss Marianne.'"

Katharina turned away from the tank, but stayed beside Josephine. "So it's something you've thought about then?" she asked, "Staying here?"

Josephine looked up. She answered quickly, without seeming to think about it, "Yeah. I want to." Then she looked at Mari, "That's what we're doing after this, right? Going to be initiated."

When Mari said nothing, Katharina continued, "Sort of. But now that you know what, um, Sisterhood girls have in common, you're already initiated. That's all there is to that."

"Oh," Josephine turned around to face her.

"You disappointed?" Katharina laughed.

"No, no," Josephine said quickly, "Not at all!"

Katharina smiled at her reassuringly, "Only kidding. So anyway next we want to take you to a different part of the house, where there will be more girls like us. If you'd like."

Josephine addressed Mari again, "To that North Wing place? That's where girls who stay here live, right?"

Katharina shook her head, "No, the North Wing is just a code name, really. It's not a wing of the house that people live in, more a place to gather, in private. Away from the main area of the ball, so we don't have to be secretive. If you stay here you'd live in a normal room, here in the main part of the house. But Mari and Ivy told you a bit about it, I guess."

"Well," Josephine hesitated, looked at each of the other two girls in turn, "Some." Then she giggled, "Mari focused mainly on the sex. Not sure she told me much else."

Mari held up her hands and smiled, "It is the main part. Speaking of which, shall we go get showered?"

Josephine touched her hand to her face, then her hair, feeling herself, "Ooh yes, I could do with a cleanup. Who's first?"

Ivy held out her hand to Josephine, "I think it's a pretty safe bet that Anna's bathroom is gonna be big enough for all of us."

Josephine laughed, and skipped forward to take Ivy's hand. Ivy turned and led her out of the room.

Katharina found herself alone with Mari. Mari smiled at her, then rolled her shoulders in a slow shrug, casting off the remnants of her dress and letting them fall to the floor, "So, are you going to carry me?"

"Okay," Katharina sighed. She turned to Mari and bent down, holding her arms outstretched. She was momentarily unsure how exactly to go about lifting Mari off the floor, but then Mari hopped up and threw her arms around Katharina's neck. Katharina grabbed Mari's thighs and straightened up with the momentum of Mari's leap, then hefted her up against herself as Mari wrapped her legs around her waist.

"Mmm, Katja," Mari mumbled, kissing Katharina's neck, "This brings back a happy memory."

"Our, um, dance, you mean?" Katharina grunted.

She peered around Mari's head to see her way to the door. With one foot, she nudged the door a little further open, then strode through into the main chamber. When she saw the other two girls waiting, she became aware that her dick had started to rise. The sensation of it pulsing and lifting was somehow more vivid for the fact that she couldn't see it with Mari blocking her view.

"That one," Mari leaned back and craned her head round to nod at the adjacent door.

"Hah," Josephine smiled at Katharina, hesitated, then reached out and took hold of the end of Katharina's dick, "I'll lead you two through."

With Josephine pulling on her gently, and Ivy leading Josephine by the hand, Katharina followed them through into the next room. The layout of Anna's rooms seemed to be similar to that of the other chambers Katharina had seen in the house, only grander in scale. Just as Katharina remembered from the guest rooms, the route to the bathroom was through a large antechamber that served as a dressing room. The floor was covered by a thick red carpeting. There were more dressing tables and mirrors here, a long rack of gowns and tops and other items on coathangers, and various small couches and chaises on which lay draped a few discarded items of underwear.

In the opposite wall was a pair of frosted glass doors with brass handles. Ivy led on and pushed them open. The doors swung into a large, darkened space, perhaps almost as much as half the size of the main chamber.

Mari swung her legs apart and leaped down out of Katharina's arms. She leaned back out of the doorway and reached her hand around the wall. There was a click and the room was lit up from above by a grid of small, star-like lights set into the ceiling. Katharina saw that the floor and walls were lined with aquamarine blue tiles. Protruding from the walls in the spaces between some of the tiles there were thin metal nozzles with flared ends. Mari fumbled again, and there was a sudden sharp hiss just before wide jets of water began rushing out of the nozzles.

Josephine shrieked and flinched as the water struck her body. Then Ivy led her on into the center of the space, and their bodies were enveloped in a quickly gathering cloud of fine mist. With the doors still open, Katharina stood where she was still shielded from the water. A few drops splashed back onto her legs as water began to strike the floor, and she felt the vapor begin to settle on her skin. It was lukewarm at first, slightly uncomfortable in a way that made her want to turn and shield her body. But then it seemed as if a single surge of heat swept out into the room, and the spray began to throw up a cloud of steam.

Mari entered behind her and pulled one door closed. Katharina swung the other back into place beside it, and the direct force of the water hit her. There was a powerful pressure to it, more so than had appeared at first. She walked carefully towards the wall, testing it, then stopped a few centimeters away when she could feel each separate jet pounding into her skin. She turned herself slowly, presenting each side of her body to the water. The sensation was like a rough massage, but smoother, like hot fingertips pressing into her muscles.

Mari skipped past, towards where Ivy and Josephine stood, their figures already wreathed in steam. Mari was holding a clear plastic bottle. She put her hand on Ivy's stomach and pushed her aside, "Okay move over, I'm going to lather up our guest."

Ivy snorted, seemed about to offer a retort, but then stepped back. She turned herself, presenting her body to the streams of water as Katharina had done. She held out each limb and ran her hands across her skin to wipe herself clean.

"Ooh, I like this," Josephine giggled.

"Hold still bitch," Mari held Josephine by the thigh and shook the bottle, flinging a thick trail of clear gel up Josephine's back. Mari turned her around, then shook another load of it onto Josephine's chest and stomach. With her free hand, Mari began rubbing the gel into a lather against Josephine's skin.

Katharina watched for a moment as Mari turned Josephine again and began rubbing her back. When Mari reached up for Josephine's shoulders, Katharina stepped forward and took hold of the bottle in Mari's hand, "You done with this?"

"All yours," Mari replied without looking up.

Katharina took the bottle. It looked almost empty. But there seemed also to be a thick coating of the gel lining the walls. She turned it upside down and held it against her palm, then shook. A slow blob fell out onto her hand. She worked it quickly against her chest and around her neck, then under one armpit and down between her legs. The water continued to press at her from all around and she felt the suds of the gel run down her body and along her legs.

Katharina saw Ivy still rinsing herself. She beckoned to her friend, "Come here."

Ivy turned and met her near the center of the room. Katharina stood behind Ivy and shook the bottle a few more times to bring the remains of the gel to the neck, then held it over Ivy's shoulders and squeezed hard. She rubbed it quickly down over Ivy's arms and her back to work it into a foam before the water could wash it away.

Smoothed by the hot water and the slick of shampoo suds, Ivy's skin felt soft against Katharina's hands. Ivy's body was taut and firm, only a slim cushion of muscle over her ribs and shoulder blades.

Katharina was aware that her dick, which had been bobbing in front of her, half-risen, had begun to lift and lengthen. Before it threatened to nudge at Ivy's back, Katharina reached down and swept it aside, letting it to rest against Ivy's hip. "Sorry," she said quietly.

"S'okay," Ivy burbled. She sighed and looked down, then put her hands on her chest and guided a clump of foam down over the front of her body.

With her hands on Ivy's shoulders, idly kneading, Katharina sighed deeply. The heat of the shower had seeped all the way through to her core. She felt as if she was sweating, but being constantly swept clean and refreshed by the water striking her back and her flanks.

She looked over to where Mari and Josephine were showering, a few paces away. Now, a cloud of steam separated them from her, and their bodies faded in and out of view between translucent wisps of vapor that were buffeted away by the torrent as soon as they had formed. Josephine was on all fours, her hair matted about her face and neck in the downpour, and she had her mouth pressed between Mari's legs. Mari was gripping Josephine's head, and her face was knotted into a grimace of exertion.

Katharina's dick began to rise further, pulsing with some of the heat in her core. It slid up and over Ivy's hip, and fell back across and into the groove of Ivy's spine, just below her shoulder blades.

"Beautiful," Katharina murmured beneath her breath.

Ivy hummed her assent, "Mm. It's so hot when dmurrhisi girls get it on."

Katharina turned to Ivy and saw that she too was observing Josephine. Josephine's back was arched and her behind was in the air, water streaming down between her slender buttocks and over her exposed pussy.

"Yeah," Katharina nodded, whispering.

"Sometimes, I sort of..." Ivy continued. Then she fell silent.

"You...?" Katharina began a question, wondering what, if anything in particular, Ivy had meant to say. Then when it occurred to her what it might have been, she too fell silent, wary of pressing Ivy on the brink of what felt, suddenly, like a very personal revelation.

Mari's scrunched eyes flicked open and she gasped. She looked across at Katharina, "What you two staring at?"

"You getting a pussy-licking from a hot girl, obviously," Ivy retorted.

Mari smiled and then clutched Josephine's face more tightly to herself. Mari's grimace returned, and she began slowly twisting her hips. As Mari gasped and winced, Josephine's head began nuzzling rapidly up and down.

"Ahh... yeh!" Mari squeaked. Her fingers splayed wide and her legs stiffened in tension, then her chest heaved with a slow sigh as she let go of Josephine's head. She left one hand at Josephine's cheek, stroking, and brought the other to her own chest and began idly scrunching her fingers into the slight softness of her breast.

Katharina became aware that she had ceased massaging Ivy's shoulders. Her dick was pulsing in little twitches against Ivy's back, urging her to rub herself against Ivy's body. She resumed her massage and watched Josephine pull away to sit back on the tiled floor, gasping for breath as water ran over her face.

"So," Mari smiled, shaking herself, "You wanna see two hot girls get on top of each other and fuck?"

"Well," Katharina replied, "We're certainly not going to stop you if that's what you feel like doing."

"Jo, lie down," Mari instructed, "I'm smaller, so I'll go on top."

"Suits me," Josephine laughed, still catching her breath.

"Now, as a guest, Josephine here is bound to be curious about Sisterhood girls," Mari continued. She pushed Josephine gently by the shoulders to lay her back on the floor, then knelt and held Josephine's thighs to spread them apart. "So I think for the sake of her education you two should also provide a little demonstration."

"A demonstration?" Katharina laughed. A little frisson of excitement shuddered up through her dick. She thought perhaps that she felt a little liquid leak from the tip onto Ivy's skin, but it was washed away by the water of the shower.

Mari swung one leg over Josephine's body to straddle her side-on, their thighs interlocked, "Of what you girls get up to in your dorms, with each other."

"Ooh, yes please," Josephine giggled, "I'm terribly curious. Educate me. Or initiate me or whatever. What do you girls do to get off?"

Ivy's shoulders seemed to tense beneath Katharina's hands. "Well," Ivy frowned, "I mean, you know, girls will be girls. Of course we do all that stuff, like, you know, sharing stories, and, um..."

"Kissing?" said Mari. She held Josephine's knee, but sat still astride her, looking up at Katharina, "Or holding hands?"
