Chapter 15: Quick Shave
I waved to Genevieve as I left and walked up to the Kiva to shave. When I got there the water was cold so I took my kit and went to the Bathhouse.
I opened the door to the Bath house and went in.
Maria Bitterwater was in the dressing area sweeping and said "We're closed, until after lunch," without looking up.
"Maria, I haven't seen you since I first got here, How are you."
She looked up and saw it was me, she dropped her broom and came over threw her arms around me gave me a big hug. She looked up smiling, "Pregnant is how I am."
"I heard, any morning sickness yet?"
She kissed me and then let me go. "No I'm not sick at all, but I am starting to show a little." She backed up and patted her belly. "I hope it's a boy."
"Do you have hot water? I need to shave and the water in the Kiva is cold."
Maria reached up and stroked my face. "I'll give you a shave. Come inside." She took my hand and led me to the bath area where she started to undress.
I looked at her and smiled, "Just a shave Maria. No hanky panky"
She looked up smiling and said, "You should know by now that it is bad luck to enter the bath area still dressed, and I was going to bathe anyway."
"Ok but I've got a client this afternoon and I have to save myself for her." I undressed and sat on the stool. Maria got some hot water and soap and brought it back. When she set the bucket down she frowned.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"You're too short. Set on the shampoo chair."
I got up and adjusted the seat on the shampoo chair. Maria poured some water in the basin and soaked a towel in the hot water then wrapped it around my face, leaving a hole where my nose was. She let that set on my face for a while and then took it off and felt my face. She put some soap on her hand and as she applied it said, "I think you'll like this soap, it smells of wildflowers."
I sniffed and remembered June and April. "Is this some of June's soap?"
Maria looked at me, "You know June Black?"
"Yeah I met her and she ... Well she showed me her soap. She hadn't got it to harden into a bar yet, but I remember the scent."
Maria started to shave my cheeks and under my chin. I shut my eyes and just relaxed as she drew the straight razor over my face.
"You've gained some weight Josh. The last time I had a hard time with your cheeks. Now they are much fuller."
"It must be all the food that people have been pushing at me since I got here."
She started to shave my upper lip then changed sides and tried again, stopped and straddled me. I opened my eyes as she was pulling on my nose and I said, "What are you doing?"
She looked down at me and said, "Just getting around so I can shave your lip. Why, does it make you nervous?" She said as she stroked my cheek and bent low with her face close to mine.
"No just wondering," and closed my eyes again.
She finished my upper lip and sat on my lap to do my chin.
Now the shampoo chair is narrow and low and most of the time the women who sat in the chair sat with their legs spread. I had the seat made in a heart shape so that it was most comfortable if you spread your legs. I had my legs spread and when she sat in my lap her pubis was right on the base of my penis. It felt good and I did the Way of the Weasel and tried to counteract the sensation of warm pussy on my lap.
She had to squirm a little to get to all the whiskers off my chin and between her squirming, my remembering June and April and the scent of the soap, the Way of the Weasel just wasn't enough.
"Josh," Maria said.
