This is a story of an alternate reality where there is a branch of Christianity that has rejected the dogma normally associated with sex.

Chapter 8: Her Father's Maiden
The next few days for Marcia went by in a blur. With her mixed feelings of dread and anticipation of her father making her a maiden, she was having a hard time focusing on the present. Since she was not a maiden yet, she couldn't socialize with anyone outside of the girls who were initiating with her. This left her days filled only with instructions and lessons preparing her to belong to the kingdom.
Much of the instruction was pretty mundane, from how women cook and clean within the kingdom, so that they can work together as a team, to how to properly use make up and other beauty tips to attract the attention of others -- both men and women. Most of this Marcia already knew from her mother, she just didn't know that this was all part of belonging to the kingdom.
Other things she did to prepare herself were things she could never have imagined, like all of the dom/sub role-playing, and using sex toys like dildos. Of particular interest to her for some strange reason was the bikini area electrolysis. The lady who performed this on all of them was very talented, and employed the pain of the hair probe, and oral stimulation of the clitoris, to drive every girl mad with pleasure.
Her only view to the kingdom at large was in the evening talking to Laura before she went out on dates. Some of the things Laura related were fascinating, and made her want to become a maiden even more. ...although... the guys Laura was going out with must not be that great, considering she always came back incredibly horny, and desperate for attention from Marcia.
...And she was only too happy to oblige. Marcia by now was clearly developing into a full fledge dominatrix. Of the girls she was initiating with, only her and Evellyn were comfortable with the domination roles. Ally seemed to be also, but she definitely preferred to submit. When the other girls were forced to take the domination side during their exercises, they couldn't be more clumsy and inept at it.
To everyone's surprise, Ally became the first girl among them to initiate into maidenhood. She did so on the fourth night, and this actually incensed Marcia, because she knew she was ready also. She saw her mother every day, and each time it was "No, not now. Soon. I promise." After the fifth day her mother's answer became "You can always select Lord Jacob. He'd take you right now." But no, having her father initiate her had become a point of pride for her by now.
On the eighth day, after all of the other girls had been initiated, her mother finally said, "Your father is ready for you now. I'm here to take you to his office."
Marcia had wanted this to happen for so long that she was unprepared for the panic that descended upon her with what she was about to go through. She knew from talking to Ally and the others that she was at a minimum going to receive a fierce belt spanking. What else she might receive as a pre-test that is supposedly worse than that was filling her with fear.
Wearing only what she had been wearing the entire week, which was a knee-length white dress that buttoned up the front, and flared out at the hips, her mother loaded her into the car, and drove her from the manor. On the drive, her mother said, "I know it seemed cruel to make you wait so long, but we both wanted to make sure that you really wanted him to do the initiation."
After driving in silence for a few minutes, Marcia said, "So are you still not going to tell me what to expect? Don't you even care that I get in or not?"
Linda was clearly torn, but finally said, "I want you to know that I will be devastated if your father throws you out, but you have much to learn about our kingdom if you think I'll disobey his wishes." After a few more minutes of silence, she continued, "I know your father plans to push you like he has never pushed any girl before you, and because of that, I'm at least comfortable with offering you advice. When it finally dawns on you what it is that he expects of you, you are going to panic. You are not even going to believe it is possible, but trust me, it is. Don't fight it. Just submit. Remember that. Total and complete submission is the only path that works."
After a few more minutes, the realization of where they were going finally struck Marcia. "Why are we going to Dad's office? Shouldn't we be going home, or some other place where the agents that work there won't know what is going on?"
"We can't go home and risk any of your brothers accidentally stumbling in on what he will be doing to you," replied Linda. "Actually, your father's office is a perfect place for this. It's nearly sound proof, and all of the agents that work in the front office area are members of the kingdom, so it doesn't matter if they know what is going on."
"Now that I think about it," said Marcia. "I've always thought it odd that when I went over to his office that all of his agents working there were beautiful young women. If it wasn't for your own beauty, I would think you would be jealous of it."
"Jealous?" Linda said. "You really do have a lot to learn about our kingdom. Sure, I do jokingly refer to your father's downtown real estate business as his personal harem. Yet this kind of work is ideal for women of our kingdom, because they can come and go as they please. At any one time there are twenty women working there, but over eighty are listed as actual agents. There is even a day care facility on the same floor. Of all of the jobs women are encouraged to get, your father's business is the most sought after. But in no way am I jealous.
"You have to understand that there is nothing any of those girls can offer that is special to him. He can pick and choose among the loveliest young girls, but all they have to offer are their bodies, and those are a dime a dozen. With me, he has a unique perspective onto his soul that takes years, and a complete dedication to him, to develop. No other woman could ever threaten that. There just isn't any way.
"I find jealousy to be probably the single most tragic emotion any woman could possibly indulge in. Ninety-nine percent of the time when a husband leaves his wife for another woman, it is the wife who is at fault. The other one percent it's the man's. It is never, and I repeat never, the other woman's fault. Wasting one second on hostility towards her only ensures the likely-hood of him leaving.
"By focusing all of your attention on him, and letting him know that there is nothing he needs to hide from you, you will become invaluable to him; you will become irreplaceable to him. And how will you know you are irreplaceable? It's when some young tart catches his eye, and you know down to your core you have nothing to fear from it.
"So am I jealous of where your father works? Far from it. In fact, as the wife of your father, I'm entitled to do or demand anything thing I want with those girls. You're father likes to joke that this is actually my personal harem." Both women giggled at that comment as they continued down the highway to Anthony's office.
After again driving in silence for a while, Marcia asked, "Mom, I've been thinking about something. Is it just me, or does it seem like there is far more focus placed on women pleasing men in sex than the other way around?"
"Before I answer that, I would like you to elaborate some more on why you think that is true," Linda replied.
"Well," Marcia continued. "Not only do the rules clearly favor men's pleasure over women's, but I've noticed that Laura always comes back to our room incredibly frustrated, and in desperate need of release. Then there is the fact that the only time I have seen a man engaged in sex in this kingdom is when Lord Jacob had sex with Lady Jennifer, and he had Laura finish her off, rather than him. Don't the men of this kingdom feel any responsibility in satisfying women?"
Linda's answer really surprised Marcia. "The short answer is, none at all." After giving Marcia a chance to dwell on that she continued. "Seems unfair, huh?"
"Yes. Yes it does," Marcia replied almost stunned.
Linda continued, "You need to keep in mind that in this kingdom, we focus on what is important, and not on what is fair. Let me ask you, which is more important, lighting your 'fire,' or quenching it?"
"Isn't it obvious? Doesn't the pleasure of sex come from the sexual release?" Marcia replied rhetorically.
"See, you're focused on the pleasure, and not on the steps required to bring it about," Linda said. "Your answer totally dismisses how important it is to first light your fire. When it comes to an orgasm, I can bring one about much better than what anyone can do to me, and that includes both men and women. I find a good vibrator excellent for that function... but you know, staring at a shaft of plastic or silicone has never done much for me.
