The Zenobee Women

"That was quite brave and quite foolish," Ko-tonna said staring straight into Jessica's eyes. "You will complete the ceremony or your friend will be done with his purpose well ahead of time." Jessica nodded her head in submission and the guards let her go. She leaned down over Rollie, her eyes welling up with tears. They slowly dropped onto his chest and chin.

"Rollie, I am so sorry about this. If I hadn't gone off on my own, none of this would have happened," Jessica whispered, keeping her words from the other's ears.

"It's not your fault" Rollie slowly whispered back. "I see what my fate is. Just promise me two things."

"Yes Rollie, anything."

"Promise me...promise me you will find a way of getting out of here. Anyway you can."

"I promise, I swear."

"Good."

"What's the other Rollie?"

"The other day we had raw sex. This time make love to me."

"Yes Rollie, yes," Jessica said and stroked his cheek with her hand. She gently kissed him on his sunburned lips and he could taste the salt of her tears. Her hand slowly caressed his chest as she kissed the underside of the neck.

"Enough of this" Ko-tonna interrupted. "This is not part of the ceremony".

"Well this is the way it's going to be," Jessica angrily answered back. The tribe was stunned. None of the tribe had ever spoken to their leader that way. Even Ko-tonna was left momentarily speechless as Jessica continued making Rollie feel worthwhile. And he was worthwhile in her eyes. She had promised to escape and she made a promise to herself that she would somehow save Rollie as well. She picked up the pitcher of oil from the ground and poured a generous amount on his upper torso. A smile came across Rollie's face as he felt the oil's rejuvenating power.

Jessica began kissing her way down Rollie's stomach and grabbed his cock in her hand. She began stroking it firmly, bringing a joyful sigh from Rollie's lips. She smiled at him and then leaned over, taking his cock deep into her mouth. The tribe again was taken aback by what they saw. No tribe member dared ever treat a man in such a way. Ko-tonna stood by and watched, putting her hand up to stop the protest Maya was about to launch into. Jessica let Rollie's cock slip from her mouth and she ran her tongue up and down his shaft and over his balls. She playfully lapped at the precum that continuously dribbled out of the head of his cock.

Rollie lay with his eyes closed, a smile on his face for the first time. He imagined that he and Jessica were alone in her room back in England. That they were on her four poster bed, making love for the first of what would be many times. He let out a playful sigh as he felt his cock become pressed between Jessica's breasts. She slid his cock up and down, occasionally tonguing the head as it re-appeared at the top of her cleavage. Jessica took Rollie's cock in her hand and repeatedly licked the head till it was soaking wet. She then rubbed the head against each of her nipples, leaving a trail of precum hanging from her nipple ring.

"Rollie?"

"Yes?"

"I want you to give me a baby." It was now Rollie's turn to cry. He had been adopted as a child and it was always his dream to have a family of his own. The tender way in which Jessica had just spoken to him, sent him over an emotional wall. Jessica kissed Rollie's tears away and then mounted his cock. She slowly ground down on his shaft. She was incredibly wet and she felt nothing but love at the moment. Given the dire circumstances, she found herself amazed she could be feeling that way. She leaned forward so that Rollie could suck on her nipples. He did so as if a he were a hungry babe being fed. By now the tribe was talking amongst themselves, unnerved by the display of affection and emotion they were seeing.

Jessica began riding harder as she felt herself reaching an orgasm. It was one of the most powerful and wonderful feelings she had ever felt. She let out a cry of pure joy as a climax rushed through her body. Rollie responded to Jessica's body and began cumming inside her. Their orgasms lasted for what seemed like an eternity. When it was done, Jessica leaned over, kissed Rollie on the lips and said, "I love you".

Rollie smiled, forgetting where he was for a moment, and said, "I love you too." Ko-tonna's voice brought them back to reality.

"Prepare him for his death" Ko-tonna angrily demanded. Rollie and Jessica stared into each other's eyes until Maya took Jessica away.

Night had fallen over the base camp. A full moon and millions of stars shone brightly in the night sky. Under normal circumstances, it would have been a peaceful, serene, sight to behold. Its beauty was lost, however, on the remaining members of the Jennison expedition. Thomas Jennison sat around a small campfire, drinking coffee and worrying. He knew his time was running out to find his daughter. He also knew that Jessica's time as well as Rollie's could also be running out. It had occurred to him that the tribe may want to indoctrinate Jessica and that Rollie was probably going to die if he wasn't dead already. The research he had done had told him that.

The night's quiet was suddenly shattered by the sound of a warrior's battle call. The men froze in their places, their eyes wide open. "Clay, quickly, help me put out the fire" Jennison urged. Wright quickly responded to Jennison's plea and except for the light from the bright moon, the camp now was in total darkness.

"The bloody bitches are taunting us" Wright extolled.

"Keep your voice down," Jennison said with great urgency.

"Do you really think it matters Thomas? If we stay here much longer we're all as good as dead."

"That kind of talk will do us no good at...". Jennison's voice trailed off as he heard Cole Raymond scream. Wright aimed a flashlight in the direction where Raymond stood. All that was there was his rifle.

"Put that flashlight out you fool, they'll have a direct line at us," Jennison said. Wright for once used his head and followed his boss's instructions.

Moments later, Maya and two other women dragged Cole Raymond into the camp. Just as those who were captured before him, Raymond was blindfolded so that he could not find his way back if by some miracle he should escape. Ko-tonna surveyed Maya's entrance from her hut. It stood atop a large foundation, ten feet above the ground. A rope ladder was its only means of access. "Bring him to me," Ko-tonna beckoned. Cole Raymond was one of the toughest men Thomas Jennison had ever encountered, but at the moment he was filled with fear. Maya and her guards brought Raymond to Ko-tonna's hut, stripped him, and tied him down.

"When will you fools ever learn?" Ko-tonna began. "Year after year you come in search of us. For those of you who actually find us, you wish you never had. It will be no different for you. But, for now you will please me, for that is your sole purpose here. Ko-tonna sat next to Raymond and began stroking his cock with her right hand. Despite his fear, Raymond's cock reacted, growing harder with each stroke of Ko-tonna's hand. At times her grip tightened so severely, that it almost cut off the circulation to Raymond's member. It was purple from the stress it was absorbing and precum began to spill out its top.

Ko-tonna ran a single finger over the head, covering it with precum. She raised her finger to her mouth and licked the salty liquid off. "Mmmm, at least you have one redeeming value." Raymond couldn't help but smile. He actually thought to himself that he would be the exception to the rule of no male survivors.

The speed of Ko-tonna's strokes became more rapid and Raymond writhed on the ground. Ko-tonna, sensing that Raymond was getting close to ejaculating, moved closer to him so that her breasts were directly in front of the head of his cock. Suddenly Raymond's body arched upward and thick, whitish liquid began to explode from his cock. Each pearl string landed on Ko-tonna's ample breasts. She continued stroking until the last bit of liquid spilled out onto her nipples.

"Very good. I might have to keep you a little longer than I had intended, but that will all depend on your next chore." With that, Ko-tonna straddled Raymond's face, her knees and shins resting on either side of him. "Taste me now." Raymond could barely breathe as Ko-tonna's pussy ground down onto his mouth and face. He began to nervously lick her lips and flick at her already hardened clit. Ko-tonna let out a relaxed sigh. Beads of Raymond's expended semen began trickling down over her nipples and running down her stomach. As Raymond's tongue delved inside her orifice, Ko-tonna began rubbing her fingers over the droplets of cum and sucking it off her fingers. The rest she rubbed into her tanned skin. Ko-tonna could feel the first wave of an orgasm move through her body and she let out a loud moan as her juices covered Raymond's tongue and moustache. She began to squeeze her nipples as she rode his tongue back and forth. One orgasm after another followed until Ko-tonna felt satisfied.

"You have served me well. Too bad you are a man". Upon finishing her sentence, Ko-tonna powerful legs gripped Raymond's head like a vise. A quick movement and Raymond's neck was snapped, his life taken in an instant. His eyes remained wide open with a look of shock on his face. Ko-tonna clapped her hands, summoning Maya. Within moments the body was disposed of. Word quickly spread through the tribe. Alone in her guarded hut, Jessica Jennison's body trembled with fear, but her mind raced. One plan of escape after another went through her mind. Somehow, some way, she would save Rollie. Even if it meant her destiny was to become one of the Zenobee forever.

~~~

The next morning Jessica requested an audience with Ko-tonna. Maya escorted Jessica to her queen's lair. "Yes, what is it?" Ko-tonna had an edge in her voice. She had not forgotten Jessica's show of independence with Rollie.

"I challenge you to Quamari." Maya moved to strike Jessica, but as before, Ko-tonna raised her hand in a gesture to stop her.

"I am impressed that you know our language. Do you realize what you are challenging me to?"

"A battle to the death."

"That is correct. But, do you also realize that if the God's are not shining on me that day, you will take my place as queen?"

"I'm aware of that." Maya bristled at the thought of having to listen to Jessica's orders.

"Very well then. Tomorrow at sunrise it shall be done."

"I have one additional request."

"You show much courage. Possibly too much courage for your own good. What is it that you want?"

"That my friend spends today and tonight in my hut. That he be given more food and water."

"That is fine."

"My queen, but..." Maya began to interrupt before Ko-tonna's icy glare silenced her.

"Maya, you will see to it that the male is brought to her hut and provided with food and water. Even an inferior deserves a meal before dying." The last word of Ko-tonna's sentence sent a chill through Jessica's spine. Only knowing her plan, by some chance it would work, kept her legs from turning to jello.

"Thank you," Rollie said as Jessica fed him some more fruit and meat. Rollie had slept most of the day, his arms and legs finally free from the restraints. His wrists and ankles were badly bruised and bloodied. Jessica had bathed him while he slept and applied the mystery oil that she had stolen from Ramina's hut, to his injuries and his entire body. "Jessica, if it my destiny to die here, I am glad that I was able to make love with you. I loved you from the moment I saw at your house. The way you reacted when you were practically popping out of your robe." Jessica blushed and genuinely smiled for the first time in days.

"Well, I couldn't stand you at first. That didn't last long though. I have thought about you every night since the time we met. I don't why I feel such a connection to you, but I do". Jessica's smile turned to tears and she laid her head on Rollie's sunburned chest. "I made you a promise that I would get away from here and now I make you another. Tomorrow you will be out of here."

"I wish it were that simple Jessica, but you know as well as I do that it's not possible."

Jessica turned her face towards Rollie. The last of her tears fell upon his chest and felt cool on his aching skin. "In the morning I will be fighting Ko-tonna. It will be the distraction you need to get out of here."

"Are you crazy? She'll kill you. And, besides, even if I had the energy, do you think I would leave here without you?"

"Don't worry about me; I'll be right behind you. And with this you will have the energy" Jessica said as she lifted the pitcher of oil.

"How did you get that?"

"I stole it. Hopefully they won't realize it's missing until it's too late."

"That oil can do amazing things, but unless it can sprout wings and fly, I don't see how it's going to get me out of here."

"You'll drink it."

"What?"

"Just look at what it has done when applied externally. I know that we don't know what side effects it may have, but I don't think we have much choice." Rollie shook his head in agreement.

"All right. Just what exactly do you have in mind?"

"There's time for that later. Right now I have other plans for you". Before Rollie could speak, Jessica pressed her lips to his and began to kiss him with a deep passion. Rollie immediately puts his arms around her back and pulled her closer. The two locked in an embrace for several minutes, kissing, caressing, crying, and living. Jessica removed her clothes and the thin robe that covered Rollie. Rollie rolled Jessica on her back and began kissing her soft skin. Jessica's body reacted immediately to his touch. Her breasts rose and dropped quickly and she became moist between her legs. She reached down and rubbed Rollie's hard cock. No Zenobee oil was needed to provide excitement. Rollie sucked in Jessica's left nipple, the attached ring rubbing against his tongue. Jessica wrapped her arms around Rollie's neck to pull him closer to her breast. His hand squeezed her right breast, playing with its nipple until stood erect. Jessica moaned and playfully giggled from the pleasure she was receiving. She let out a pleasant sound of surprise as two of Rollie's fingers entered her pussy. They probed every inch of her opening and were quickly coated with her cum. Rollie took his fingers out and raised them to Jessica's mouth. She sucked each one in slowly, letting out a sigh of approval as she tasted herself.

"Rollie, fuck me now. I want to feel you. Fill me up and don't stop," Jessica said as she repositioned herself on all fours. Rollie held Jessica's thighs for balance and slid his fat cock inside of her. His thrusting was rhythmic and the sensations drove Jessica to a number of orgasms.

When it appeared Rollie was about to climax, Jessica reached back and pulled his cock out of her wetness and began to push it into her tight ass. Rollie slowly squeezed his large cock inside of Jessica's ass as she sighed with contentment. She pushed back against Rollie, forcing his cock in even further. Jessica's index finger played with her still hard clit. Rollie reached under Jessica's body and played with breasts, squeezing them. Feeling her hard nipples in the palm of his hand sent him over the edge and he made one final thrust between Jessica's cheeks. His cock twitched violently and thick cream sprayed inside of Jessica's ass. It was the last bit of strength Rollie had left in his body that night. He collapsed next to Jessica, who moved herself over him like a lioness protecting her cub. "I love you, Rollie and I will get you out of here".

The sun shone brightly in the sky as Thomas Jennison emerged from his tent, on this the seventh day that Jessica and Rollie were missing. This was the last day, according to the promise Thomas had made to his men, that they would continue to look for the missing pair. Jennison put on his sunglasses and wiped the sweat from his brow. It was only eight in the morning, but the heat from the sun was already blistering. The men began to break down the tents and equipment. They were leaving no doubt as to whether they would stay longer with Jennison. If Rollie and Jessica were not found today, they were headed home. Three men were already dead, and Jarred Taylor was still missing and presumed dead as well. Their demise left Jennison with an even heavier heart.

This was not the way this trip was supposed to be. It was Jennison's intent to find the Zenobee, make peace with them, and hopefully, return to England with some proof of their existence. He questioned his own near-sighted thinking. His spirit of "one big adventure" was foolhardy. He should have taken more precautions. He should never have allowed Jessica to go on the trip. On and on his mind raced with similar thoughts till Clay announced it was time to head out. It was now or never. Jessica and Rollie would be found or the crew would head for home. They had agreed on a four o'clock curfew. That would allow enough light remaining in the sky when they departed. Thomas Jennison said a quick prayer before grabbing his gear and starting the final day's search.

~~~

Jessica Jennison woke up early. Her nerves were raw with anticipation. Throughout the night she gave Rollie sips of the oil. Rollie woke up and put his hand on Jessica's arm. He could see the stress etched on her face. She turned and smiled at him.

"Everything will be all right, Jessica. I know it will be," Rollie assured her.

"You're right," Jessica replied, though she didn't necessarily believe her own words. Rollie pulled Jessica close to her and the two locked in an embrace. Passion and fear intertwined in their kiss. Their embrace didn't last long though as Maya interrupted them.

"It is time."

"All right, please give us a moment alone." Maya icy expression stared back at Jessica. "It will just be a moment, please." Maya finally relented, somewhat unwillingly and Rollie and Jessica were alone once again. Jessica began removing some leaves from the floor of the hut until she found what she was looking for.

"My clothes, how did you get them?" Rollie said, amazed once again at Jessica's resourcefulness.

"That's not important. What is important is that when there is enough of a distraction, you start running."

"What? I never agreed to leave you here. There's no way I will."

"I told you last night, I will be right behind you. But, think about it. You've been through a tremendous ordeal. I still have my strength. I will catch up to you, I promise." Before further words could be spoken, Maya again entered the hut. Rollie turned his back to hide his clothing from Maya's eyesight.

"Now, red one!" Jessica nodded her head, gave a quick glance to Rollie, and left the hut. Rollie's emotions were torn apart. How could he possibly leave Jessica behind? He knew full well that if he left her, there was a good chance she would never be able to escape the Zenobee. Then again if he stayed, what good could he do for her in his present condition. The only way to help was to get out and bring back reinforcements.

The commotion outside caught Rollie's attention. The tribe had begun to gather to watch the fight between Jessica and Ko-tonna. Only one other warrior had ever dared to challenge Ko-tonna. That was Etara. She was headstrong, stubborn, loyal, and fearless. Most of the same qualities that her daughter Maya now possessed. Etara challenged Ko-tonna's right to rule the Zenobee. Maya was just sixteen when she saw her Mother perish at the hands of Ko-tonna. That is how Maya became Ko-tonna's lead guard. Ko-tonna tried to treat her as a daughter, but Maya always felt some resentment for what had happened even if her mother had instigated the fight. Now a stranger was challenging Ko-tonna. All because of a man. How foolish she thought, as she stepped forward to announce the challenge.
