The Kingdom Pt. 01

So I do. I kiss her just as I kissed Micaelah, but this time, halfway through, I pull her into an embrace. She lets out a satisfying moan, wrapping her arms around my neck. The kiss lasts much longer than the last time. Eventually, we both break it off, gasping for air. Lisbeth looks flushed and begins to fan herself.

Now Micaelah wants another kiss, so I take a deep breath, embrace her, then kiss her for all I'm worth. Caught up in the moment, I pull her across my body so her side is reclining on my lap. My lips move from hers, across her cheek, over to her earlobe for a visit, then down to her neck.

She says breathlessly, "Oh Quillion, you're wonderful at this."

"Can I have another turn?" Lisbeth pleads.

I reluctantly return Micaelah to an upright position on the bench next to me, then take Lisbeth in my arms. I kiss her soundly, also pulling her across my lap. By this time, I am completely aroused, my erection straining against my trousers.

As I move away from her mouth to kiss her neck, she says, "Something's poking me in the ribs." She moves a little to create some space, then reaches down between us and lifts my tunic up to discover two inches of my cock protruding above the waist ties.

"Oh my!" she exclaims backing up and looking at it, then at my face, then at my erection again. Micaelah looks at it too, her eyes going wide.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it," I apologize. "I'm really enjoying my time with both of you."

Lisbeth slowly reaches out her hand, but hesitates just before touching my cock.

Micaelah suddenly asks, "May I touch it?"

I really want her to touch it, but I also realize that someone may discover the three of us at any time, which may be difficult to explain away, so I reply, "I don't know if that's a good idea. Maybe we should stop and go back to the castle now."

Lisbeth exclaims, "But I don't want to stop! I'm having a good time." To emphasize her point, she grabs my cock and squeezes it. Seeing the expression on my face, she says, "See? You don't want to stop either."

I look around, then say, "Well... maybe we should at least go on the other side of those bushes."

They agree, following me as I walk around the end of the hedges to a grassy area amid a small grove of trees.

"This is better," I say, sitting down, leaning back on my hands. They hike up their dresses and sit down next to me. Lisbeth lifts my tunic up again. My erection has retreated just inside my trousers, but there's still an obvious bulge. She unties the laces, then pulls the front of my trousers down. My larger than average manhood greets them. Lisbeth grabs the base, staring at my cock in wonder. Micaelah, curious, reaches out cautiously.

"It's okay Micaelah," Lisbeth assures her. "It feels nice."

Micaelah slowly reaches out and grabs the top half. Squeezing it, she states, "It does feel nice." She looks at my face. "Does it feel good when we squeeze it like this?"

"Are you kidding me?" I reply.

"No," she says innocently.

"Have you never touched one before?" I ask her.

She shakes her head and says, "I wasn't allowed to spend any time alone with boys. My parents had a nanny stay with me at all times. I was thrilled when they let me leave to attend Teritha. I haven't really had much opportunity to meet many boys since then."

Lisbeth moves her other hand to my balls during Micaelah's speech. She takes up the next part of Micaelah's story, saying, "Teritha asked me to keep an eye on her. You know, make sure she stays out of trouble, especially with boys."

Seeing my confused look, she adds, "I was doing such a good job... until now."

With no warning, she leans over to suck on the head of my cock for a few seconds, then backs up. Seeing Micaelah's startled look, Lisbeth says to her, smiling, "It tastes good too." She gestures at Micaelah to try.

Micaelah hesitates for a very brief moment, then leans down and tentatively begins to lick the head.

Unable to just sit there and take this, I recline completely on the grass and calm myself as I did with Teritha. Grabbing Lisbeth's arm, I pull her down for a kiss, forcing her to let go of my erection. As Lisbeth and I kiss, I feel Micaelah's other hand join the first one. With both hands, she slowly strokes while her tongue randomly explores this new toy.

I kiss my way to Lisbeth's neck, then close to her bosom at the top of her dress. My other hand works its way up from the bottom, finally reaching her breast. She moans and whimpers as I massage it, then abruptly sits up and pulls her dress over her head to get it out of the way.

Her breasts are beautiful, with large nipples. I take one in my mouth and suck, flicking it with my tongue.

Micaelah pauses to follow Lisbeth's lead, removing her dress to reveal small, firm breasts with long, pink nipples standing at attention.

Lisbeth takes the opportunity to sit up and grab my cock. She strokes it a few times, then satisfied it's ready, she moves to straddle me. As she lowers herself onto my erection, Micaelah crawls over to kiss me briefly, then turns and watches Lisbeth intently.

Lisbeth slowly works her wet pussy up and down my shaft until I'm buried to the hilt. She is even tighter than Teritha was, but it feels amazing despite the discomfort. Micaelah kisses me again. I gently stroke her breast, then pull her closer so I can suck on her nipple. She gasps in response, then says, "Quill, you're so good at this."

Lisbeth is now sliding slowly up and down my cock, stopping at the bottom to grind her clit against me. Her hands massage her own breasts. She seems to be enjoying herself immensely.

Micaelah, however, is becoming restless.

"When is my turn Lisbeth?"

Lisbeth, however, is in another world and doesn't respond, so I decide to speed things up.

"Hold on a minute," I tell Micaelah, gently pushing her to the side. I reach up to pull Lisbeth down into an embrace. Deftly flipping her over onto her back, I begin ramming my cock in and out of her. Lisbeth moans, then moans louder until her moans become so loud that Micaelah covers Lisbeth's mouth with her hand.

"Shhhhh...not so loud," Micaelah warns her, laughing.

Thirty seconds later, Lisbeth has an explosive orgasm. As soon as it fades, I pull out of Lisbeth, then guide Micaelah gently to the ground. Crawling between her legs, I rub the head against her opening, then slowly push it inside. She lets out a whimper.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

She nods. "Keep going. Slowly. It's so big!"

I try to push it in further, but am prevented from going deeper. Something seems to be in the way.

"Does it feel like it's in all the way?" I ask, confused.

"No," Micaelah says.

"You'll need to push harder," Lisbeth explains, sitting up. "This is her first time."

Not understanding her meaning, but not knowing what else to do, I push it in harder. Suddenly, some barrier inside her gives way and the remainder of my cock plunges into her depths.

"Ohhhhh!" she cries out, clearly in pain. I agree. That was painful for me as well.

"It's okay Micaelah," Lisbeth assures her, grasping her hand and stroking her hair. "It will feel better soon. That pain only happens once."

"Should I keep going?" I ask, not sure I actually want to.

Micaelah nods and tells me, "Just go slow."

I pull back until only the head is inside. "Are you ready?" I ask.

Micaelah clamps her eyes shut and nods.

Gritting my teeth, I slowly push forward, Micaelah's pussy stretches to receive my cock again. I hit bottom, then pull back again. She doesn't say anything, so I pull back and thrust again.

After a few times, Micaelah's eyes open. She looks up at me, a smile spreading slowly across her face. I pull back and thrust again. She's unbelievably tight, but it no longer hurts.

That is apparently true for her as well because she tells me to go faster. I pump in and out, her tightness milking my cock. Lisbeth bends down to kiss Micaelah gently on the lips, then smiles at her.

"See? I told you it would feel better." Her hand moves to gently massage Micaelah's breast and nipple. I work into a steady pace and soon feel my explosion on the way.

At the last second, I pull out of Micaelah and back up so I can shoot my load somewhere other than all over her.

Micaelah sits up and watches in fascination as I stroke my cock, shooting wave after wave of jizz onto the ground between her legs.

Finally empty, I collapse on the ground next to her. Micaelah rolls over and smiles at me.

"That was fun! We should do it again sometime." She kisses me quick then grabs her dress lying nearby. Lisbeth stands up and puts her dress back on. After brushing the leaves off, she adds, "Yes. I definitely want to do that again. How about you Quill?"

"Definitely," I answer.

§ 9 ~ Celebration

That evening, after a much needed nap to recover from all my earlier physical activity, I enter the sitting area of Teritha's suite and discover a small feast waiting, along with Teritha, Lisbeth and Micaelah.

"Oh good! You're just in time!" Teritha says as I come through the door.

"I'm sorry m'lady," I apologize. "Was I supposed to be serving you dinner this evening? I must have forgotten..."

"Nonsense," Teritha says. "Although you are welcome to pull our chairs out before seating yourself. Oh, and pour everyone a glass of wine."

I do as she says, my curiosity piqued. Lisbeth and Micaelah smile and thank me. As soon as I'm seated, Teritha makes an announcement.

"This is a very special day for someone seated here." She looks around meaningfully at the three of us. I look back at her, confused. I glance at Lisbeth. She's looking at Micaelah, who's smiling and blushing.

"We're here to celebrate someone's birthday!" Teritha announces cheerfully. "Isn't that right Micaelah?"

"Yes m'lady. Thank you for remembering, but it's nothing really."

"Nonsense," Teritha says, using her favorite word again. "It's important Micaelah, because you're important."

Micaelah blushes more.

"A toast!" Teritha says, holding her glass high. The rest of us follow her lead, raising our glasses.

"Happy Birthday Micaelah!" Everyone clinks their glasses together in the age-old custom, then drinks.

Teritha continues, "It's always a joyful occasion when a young lady finally reaches the age of eighteen."

I nearly choke to death on my wine.

"Goodness!" Teritha says, looking at me, concerned. "Are you okay Quillion?"

Recovering from choking, as well as from shock, I reply, "Yes m'lady, I'm okay. It seems the pipe was barely big enough for what went down it." I glance at Micaelah, who is now blushing furiously, but smiling. "I think next time I'll go slower."

"Alright then," Teritha says. "Let us share this meal together and be thankful for those special people in our lives. I'm very thankful for you Micaelah."

Lisbeth says something similar, then hugs her. I compliment Micaelah's beauty, her friendly nature, and how much I've enjoyed her company. She blushes again, but seems touched by my words.

After dinner is over, Teritha presents Micaelah with a gift. It's the package I brought back from the city yesterday. I'm nearly as curious to see what's inside as Micaelah is.

Unwrapping it reveals an embroidered robe and a pair of matching slippers. Not exactly my kind of thing, but Micaelah is thrilled at the sight and feel of them and expresses genuine gratitude to Teritha.

The rest of the meal is pleasant. We all share funny or fond memories of Micaelah. I don't have much to share, having only known her a few weeks, but I do my best to make my stories count.

Micaelah laughs and blushes often, but is clearly touched by the attention she's receiving, evident by her continuous smile.

Eventually it's time for bed. We wish each other a good night then part ways, heading off to our own quarters.

It's Micaelah's birthday. Huh. As I clean my teeth and wash my face, I recall what Micaelah said earlier in the Grove, about how her parents had her watched like a hawk. And what Lisbeth said about how she's kept Micaelah out of trouble, especially with boys... until today. I'm beginning to wonder if our rendezvous in the Grove was as much a birthday celebration as Teritha's dinner.

Just as I'm about to get undressed, I hear a faint knock on my door, so I walk over and open it. Standing there in her new robe is Micaelah.

"May I come in?" she asks. "I just wanted to ask you something." She turns and looks around Teritha's sitting area, then turns back to me. "In private," she adds, appearing nervous.

"Of course," I say, motioning her in and closing the door. "What's going on? Is everything okay?"

She stares at her feet and remains silent for a few seconds, then raises her head. She meets my gaze and asks, "Do you like me?" She begins chewing on her bottom lip.

Easy question. Simple answer. "Yes Micaelah. I do like you. I meant what I said at dinner."

"I meant... well... I don't know what I meant... I guess." She pauses. I wait for her to clarify. She looks at her feet again.

"I mean... we... you know... Does that mean we're a couple? But you also... you know... with Lisbeth too. And I know she likes you. But I like you too."

As I try to process what she's really trying to find out, she apparently feels like she's made a fool of herself and turns to leave. "I'm sorry," she says, reaching for the door handle.

While I don't know what answer she was hoping for, I do know I can't just let her leave. I cover her hand on the door handle with my own, then twine my fingers through hers. Gently pulling her hand away, I turn her around, then take her other hand so I'm holding both, facing her.

"Micaelah."

She looks up at me.

"I like you. I like Lisbeth too. We all shared something special and exciting this afternoon. But I don't know what the future holds for me, especially right now.

"I'm a Page for the Duchess. I don't have a trade or land or even a home. I grew up in an orphanage. I suppose you could say my home is really wherever Teritha decides to take me or send me. Right now, I have really nothing to offer anyone except my time. Right now, most of my time is spent with Teritha, Lisbeth and you.

"So, I guess, when I'm with Teritha, I'm hers. When I'm with Lisbeth, I'm hers. When I'm with you, I'm yours. So I suppose you could say we're a couple, but sometimes there's three or four of us together, so I suppose we're a threesome, or a foursome, or whatever.

"But I like you Micaelah. I'm glad you like me too."

Micaelah looks thoughtful as she ponders my confusing speech. I know it confused me, but instead of asking more questions, she looks at me and says, "Okay."

She wraps her arms around my waist and tilts her head up to kiss me. Stepping away, she says, "I like you Quillion." Then she turns, opens the door and leaves.

I stand there for a while trying to figure out what just happened.

§ 10 ~ Visitation

Teritha spends most of the next day in conferences with the Duke and Duchess of Carnelia, as well as with some of the local nobles. Lisbeth and Micaelah remain on alert in case Teritha needs them.

My morning is occupied, as usual, by training with Kendric. With nothing else to do in the afternoon, I hang out with Lisbeth and Micaelah in the sitting room. Some stolen kisses are all I'm able to enjoy though as we're repeatedly interrupted by some type of summons. I eventually give up and spend time in my room practicing combat maneuvers.

Eventually we shuffle off to dinner in the kitchen, then Lisbeth, Micaelah and I all hurry back to our quarters, for very different reasons.

"I'm here to see the Duchess," Jolie says, dressed in her court best. She was expected half an hour past dinner this evening. That was fifteen minutes ago.

Lisbeth and Micaelah were given the evening off to do as they pleased out on the town, with a pair of guards escorting them, of course, so it's just Teritha and I present for Jolie's visit.

"Please come in m'lady. Duchess Teritha has been expecting you," I greet her cordially, opening the door wide and bowing as she sweeps into the room. I close the door then direct her to a chair in the sitting area. Pulling it out for her, I say "The Duchess will be with you shortly. I'll let her know you've arrived."

"Very well, page boy," she says condescendingly.

I bow again, then excuse myself to tap lightly on the door to Teritha's bedroom. She opens it a crack. "Yes?"

"Lady Jolie has arrived, m'lady. She is waiting for you in the sitting room."

"Thank you, Quillion. Let her know I'll be with her shortly," Teritha announces loud enough for Jolie to hear. Then quietly, "Serve her some of the chilled wine. Remember what we practiced."

"Very good m'lady." I move to do as she wishes, repeating her words to Jolie, then pour a glass of wine. When I offer it to Jolie, she looks at it surprised.

"The Duchess thought you might be thirsty," I tell her.

She hesitates. "My parents don't allow me to drink wine except for one glass at dinner."

"You are in the company of the Duchess. While she is in residence, these rooms are under her authority. You are temporarily a visitor to the Duchy of Jasper. You may drink whatever she offers you," I say, each word carefully rehearsed, holding the glass a little closer.

She continues to look at me for a few moments, then takes the glass from me, drinking some quickly. I step back and wait.

Taking another sip, she says quietly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, m'lady."

After a few minutes, Teritha enters the room, carrying two small packages I don't recognize. She sets them down on the table, then turns to her guest.

"Jolie, thank you so much for coming to see me. We haven't had much opportunity to speak at dinner with all the formalities getting in the way. I want you to feel comfortable during our time. This is purely a social visit. I won't ask you about politics or court nonsense, and I certainly won't ask you about marriage proposals you may have received. You're probably sick of that sort of thing, but if not, you are welcome to bring up any topic of discussion you'd like. Is the wine to your satisfaction?"

"Yes m'lady, thank you," she replies respectfully.

"Oh let's do away with that. M'lady makes me sound like an old woman. Please call me Teritha. And this is Quillion." She gestures towards me. "If you need or want anything, simply ask. He's at your service."

"Thank you... Teritha. You're... very gracious," Jolie says, sounding disarmed.

"Quillion, please pour me a glass of wine."

"At once, m'lady."

Now then..."

Teritha spends the next two hours engaging Jolie in conversation, deftly charming her way into Jolie's private existence, also sharing some of her own personal experiences as a young noble woman. I hover in the background, out of sight and out of mind, but always attentive, refilling Teritha's wine glass, only once, but Jolie's three times. I always make sure to smile at Jolie warmly as I fill her glass.

Eventually, the two are talking as openly as childhood friends, laughing together, even sharing a few tears.

"Jolie, I'd like to give you a few somethings if I may," Teritha says. "I brought them with me from Jasper."

"Gifts? Teritha, that's so thoughtful of you, but you didn't have to do that," Jolie says, completely taken aback.

"Nonsense. I most certainly did." Teritha rises and walks to the table. She retrieves the first package and hands it to Jolie.

Jolie accepts it with a shy smile, and despite her polite protestations, looks excited to open it. As she carefully unwraps the strings, Teritha says, "I understand you have an appreciation of the ocean, so I thought you might like this as a memento of our friendship."

Jolie pulls open the paper to find inside an intricately carved statuette of a dolphin leaping out of the waves. The craftsmanship is exquisite. Jolie looks at it in wonder.
