Chapter 7 - Able and Amelia
I awoke in the morning in warm sunshine. Audrey was in my arms. I kissed her before slipping away and thought I'd made a clean get away when Audrey said, "Don't go."
"I have to," I said. I really did. I had to pee so badly. She got up, took my hand and led me to a door, inside was a urinal and a toilet. I didn't even wait for her to close the door before I started to drain the dragon. She hadn't left but was peering over my shoulder. I reached for her hand and let her guide the stream. She laughed but I finished up and she pushed me out of the way and squatted slightly over the urinal.
Her hands were on her knees and her breasts swung attractively in the dim light I stooped over and cupped one and kissed her while she pee'd. She squirted a few times then stood up into my arms and we kissed for a long time. She finally pulled back and said, "Oh Josh, you have duty and I have to castrate more goats today."
"I don't really want to go." I said.
Audrey kissed me and said, "Nevertheless we have duty and I am Bahia now so duty comes first." She backed up over the urinal and began to pour water on her bush, using her other hand to rinse herself. She smiled at me reached down and I saw her wince and I asked, "What's wrong,"
She smiled and said. "I'm just a little sore."
"Here I'll check," She let me fondle her pussy and only winced again as my fingers examined her opening. She was just a little chafed but nothing major. I patted it and kissed her, "You'll be all right with a few days rest." I said.
She put her hand on mine and pressed it to her. She was giggling and said, "What if I don't want a few days rest?"
I kept my hand on her rubbing her lightly, "I'll have to rest, I have duty at the bath house tomorrow or the next day and I have to save up a load for then." I kissed her, "Besides," I said, "You need to convalesce and wait your turn."
We made our way out and found our clothes. Audrey asked my help with her dress so I helped her and she buttoned my shirt for me after taking liberties with my chest.
Finally dressed, she took up her shawl and we left. Only one woman was at the desk and she just smiled and waved as Audrey and I walked past her. Audrey stopped at the front door and ran her hands through my hair and straightened up my shirt and fixed my collar. Then she reached up and kissed me, "You go on and get to breakfast," she said with her arms around my neck. "I'm going out the back door and change out of this dress. "I'll see you later." I kissed her again and turned to walk out the door.
I found that I was lost and asked two girls about 9 or 10 where the mess hall was. They both looked at me and each other and shook their heads. "The Dinning hall?" I asked.
They both smiled and pointed down the hill. "We are going to eat, could we walk with you?" one of them said.
"Sure, I'm Josh Perkins. What are your names?"
"I'm Emily and this is Margaret." We shook hands and the two girls each took one of my hands and led me down to the dining hall. Emily kept up a skipping constant chatter while Margaret practiced her proto-go-fer girl marching.
The girls didn't let go of my fingers until we were in the Dinning hall. They made sure that everyone saw them with me and then said good-bye and ran into the rapidly thinning crowd.
I saw Able and Steve setting with a few women and went over and sat down across from them. "Josh, Sarge is looking for you." Able said as he finished up his eggs and sopped the yoke off his plate with a tortilla.
"Did he say why?" I asked suspiciously.
"Didn't say, but he looked like he was just making a headcount." Able said.
About this time a motherly type came up to me and said, "Oh Josh," and giggled a little before she continued, "We can only make you some eggs. The corn mush is all gone. You'll have to get here earlier next time."
I looked at her, she was smiling and waiting, "Some eggs would be fine, ma'am."
"My name is Winifred Desoto, call me Wini," she said putting out her hand.
"Pleased to meet you." I said shaking it, "Are you kin to Astral then?"
"Josh everybody is kin in Burney, except you all," she waved off-handedly at Steve and Able but I knew she meant the whole team. "I'll see if I can find some ham to go with those eggs."
A woman came over and herded the girls that hovered around Steve and Able away saying, "Girls go get to work. These men need their strength and you are just getting in the way."
Able watched the last of them who had kissed him good bye leave and turned back to me and smiled. "Maidens, don't you just love 'em."
I said, "I'm surprised at the reception we gotten. I expected everyone to be, well I don't know not as friendly. But everyone has been mostly smiling."
"I'm not surprised," Able said. "It seems that there has been a feud going on for the last hundred years between the men and the women here. When we showed up, we broke the log jam and it seems everybody is happy. How long that will last I don't know."
Steve spoke up, "You can keep everybody happy some of the time and some of them happy all the time but you can't keep everybody happy all the time." He grinned as if he had just thought that up.
Wini came out and brought my eggs and a small piece of meat. "We only had venison, Josh is that all right?" She said putting the plate in front of me along with a plate of warm tortillas.
I looked up at her and said, "Fine Wini I like venison. Thank you."
Able and Steve kept me company telling me about their exploits last night at the bath house.
"We got to the Kiva after dinner last night and started to sort out our gear when about an hour later Sarge told us to go down and take a bath. I thought he was commenting on Steve's hygiene but he said to give out a couple of freebee's and generally recon the area." Able began.
"You'd a thought that we had thrown a wild cat into the dressing area when we came in. Women were runnin' and throwing on their clothes, taken off their clothes and generally screamin', laughing or squawking like geese.
Steve and I got the hell out of the way and waited for it to settle down and let me tell you, it became calm and peaceful, a mandolin started to play and our clothes were off in no time, they plucked us clean and didn't hardly fondle our privates. Civilized people here."
"The women undressed you?" I asked looking up from my plate.
