Chapter 18 -- The Red Goddess
Sarge woke me up in the morning, "Rise and shine Josh another day beckons." I turned over and got up slowly and sat on the edge of the bed. I was still hard and had to pee. I put on my robe and walked to the urinal and couldn't bend my dick down enough to hit it so I backed up and just let out trying to hit the urinal from long distance. Fortunately no one saw me doing it and the duck boards caught what missed the urinal. I poured a bucket of water on the floor and with another flushed the urinal.
I got hot water and shaved as closely as I could, squinting in the mirror and hoping I wouldn't cut my own throat.
Sarge came out of his alcove and said, "Breakfast in ten minutes Josh get dressed."
I turned and said, "I'm off today. Lenore and all."
Sarge said, "No, I can't let you. I mean I let you go twice, but you're all spent. She needs a fresh stallion."
"But the Chief asked me to go back last night."
"Grace doesn't control Kiva business. You'd just be shooting blanks. I got Bob to fill in for you today."
I was relieved in a way, I mean I liked Lenore and the food was good but I knew Sarge was right. "Ok Sarge but I have to go see Irene this morning."
"Irene Black, the spider lady?" he asked.
"Yeah, I saw her last night on my way to the Chief's. She said she wanted to talk about something personal after breakfast."
Sarge put his hand on my shoulder, "I'll bet its personal," and laughed.
I got dressed and had to leave my shirt untucked to cover the erection I couldn't get rid of.
I got to the dining hall and waved at Wini, she smiled and waved back. I saw Sarge eating with Bob and Steve and joined them. A girl left a bowel of corn mush in front of me and a plate of bacon.
I started to eat and felt a little better but my dick was throbbing and every where I looked I saw women, short, tall, fat and thin and I wasn't seeing their clothes, just their naked bodies in my mind. I was wondering how they would feel and had to put my head down to not look at them.
"Something wrong, Josh?" Sarge said from across the table.
I kept my head down, "Sarge, you know how you said not to smoke anything?"
"Yeah some of their Sativa is very potent."
"Well some of it will knock your dick stiff." I said and risked looking up at him. "Lenore has some stuff called Number Eleven and ever since I smoked it I can't get rid of this erection."
Bob laughed and said, "Got to get me some of that."
"Don't laugh, Bob it's brutal. Every woman I see, I see without clothes and I want to fuck her and my dick throbs, it's brutal." I ducked my head down as a couple of younger women crossed my sight line. I was this close to pushing both of them down on the table and hammering both of them.
"Go get some air Josh, Sarge said. I'll be out in a minute.
I walked out and ran into April at the door.
'Hello Josh, I was coming to see if you could look at the combine."
I had to look up, April, in her dark good looks, was in uniform and all, but I remembered how she looked spread over the bed, moaning and wet.
"Hi April," I said. "Where is it.?"
"We are bringing it down from the facility after breakfast. I want to try it on one of the barley fields." She was smiling at me and I saw her in my mind stark naked, her breasts waving in the sunlight and her slit was so close I could smell it.
"Something wrong Josh your face looks like you're in pain." April touched my arm and shot a thrill though me that was hard to ignore.
I just caressed her cheek. 'You are so beautiful April, it hurts."
She pecked my cheek and said in my ear, "The Soul Sisters would throw me out if I let you flatter me like that, but thank you."
I walked out and into the air and got away from women as much as I could while I waited for Sarge to show up. I found it easier to breath now but I kept my head down and didn't look as the women went in and out of the Dining hall. Their voices were naked and teased me. Even the little girl's giggling was painful.
Sarge finally showed up and walked me up the path and I was able to lift my head as we got away from the women a little.
Sarge looked at me, "How do you feel?"
"Like I could fuck a redwood tree if it weren't for the splinters." I said.
He laughed, "Well Irene is waiting and I'll bet she hasn't any splinters."
"I just hope she doesn't want to talk a lot, or just talk." I said.
"Josh, I want you to come with Bob and me when we go up to Lenore's. I can explain why you can't service her, but you can convince her to like it. Ok?"
"Sure but don't let Bob smoke any of that number eleven. It's brutal."
"You said that before," Sarge laughed and slapped me on the back.
He went on his way when we got to Irene's. I knocked on the door. A woman I didn't know opened the door and looked at me.
"I'm here to see Ms Black." I said, and she led me in to the stairs. "She's up stairs just knock at the door."
I walked up the stairs and knocked. Irene opened the door, smiled tentatively and let me in. She was dressed in a blouse and skirt. Her hair was down and she seemed nervous. "Here sit, would you like some tea?"
"That would be nice." I said and sat so I could sort of hide my throbbing erection.
She got the tea, poured me a cup and sat beside me. She sat back then picked up her cup and sipped her tea, looking at me over the rim and started to say something then put down the cup, looked at me then she looked down and took my hands in hers and sighed.
I lifted her chin and kissed her lips softly. "Tell me what's troubling you Irene."
She smiled, looked down and said, "The other night with Audrey, Well I watched and it was so beautiful and you were so caring and I wanted to know if you could make love to me like that." She was afraid I'd reject her and perhaps afraid that I wouldn't.
I put my hand up to her face and touched her cheek and ran my fingers back in her hair and put my face very close to hers, just letting my lips touch hers and said, and "I couldn't do that to you, Irene. If I treated you like a girl in love you'd reject me."
Her eyes got wide and she was going got get mad at me.
"But If you'd let me make love to you as a mature woman I promise you," I kissed her softly, "that you won't regret it."
She opened her mouth and put her arms around my neck. I took that as assent.
She was willing but my hand made her shiver when I brushed her ribs and belly, her mouth was nervous so I just held her for a while than turned her to lie on my lap. She put her legs up on the arm of the sofa and her skirt fell down to her waist. I didn't look at her legs but stared into her eyes, smiled and asked, "Nervous?"
"Yes, I never thought that I'd want a man to touch me like this. It's taking a little getting used too.
"It's not the first time I've touched you like this." I said and began to unbutton her blouse, smiling at her.
"Yes but Audrey was there and if you did anything, she would protect me," she said. "Now I have no protection."
"Except me." I said and bent low to her face. "Irene I would never knowingly hurt you or cause you pain or humiliation. You are too precious and wonderful. No man of the Kiva will every treat you but with respect and care."
She pulled me down and kissed me tears on her cheeks. My hand slid in to her blouse caressing her breast and she didn't shudder but pressed it firmly to my hand. We kissed for a while and now she had no problem with my touching her. I leaned back and said, "How much time do you have?"
"I have a meeting after lunch, but I'm not hungry."
I looked at her, "Irene you'll eat lunch, you'll be very hungry before I finish with you."
"We better hurry then." She said.
"Have you a trade to suggest?" I asked.
She looked at me, not understanding.
"The rules of the Kiva, we have to make a trade and I have to wash you with soap. I let you out of it the other night, but not today," and I kissed her softly.
She smiled and stroked my chin. It was a good thing I shaved this morning. She looked up at me and said, "I don't have anything precious, I don't know what to offer you."
"Could you get me three good stiff hair brushes and two nice combs, fine and coarse toothed?" I asked.
