Aisha waited anxiously on the floor with the other naked virgins in a hallway of the palace. Some of the girls were clinging to each other and crying. Others simply tried to unsuccessfully cover their nakedness with their hands and long hair, or stare at the floor, fidgeting nervously. Aisha simply stared at her surroundings, observing the grand height of the ceiling, and the vibrant, lavish dΓ©cor surrounding them. She had never been this far away from home before, and was not self-conscious about her nudity in front of the other girls. In a poor family, there is no time or room for modesty when getting dressed or bathing beside her nine older sisters.
Several guards were nearby, trying not to stare too closely. The guards did make Aisha self-conscious, so she tried to pretend they were not there. Suddenly a door opens in front of them and from it appears an attractive woman that Aisha assumes to be about 10 or 15 years older than her. She is dressed in colorful silks and has a commanding presence unusual in a woman. Though she is older, she has retained her beauty and Aisha observes one of the guards trying to hide that he admires the woman's appearance. Aisha thinks to herself that he must not want to live very long. The older woman speaks to one of the guards in a low voice. The guard says loudly, "All of you stand up for inspection, now". The young women do as they are told, most of them visibly shaking. Alisha stands up at the farthest end, not fearful, but not in a hurry to be "inspected" either.
The older woman approaches them and her eyes scan them all, one by one. She begins to slowly walk down the line. She passes the first three girls and stops at the fourth in the row. "Turn around so I can see your backside, girl." The particular girl she speaks to has been clinging to another girl crying and hesitates.
One of the guards sternly says, "Let go of her, and turn around as you were told."
The girl sniffles and moves from her friend to turn around, shaking all the while. The older woman looks her up and down from behind, then nods to the guard. The guards take the girl by her arms, leading her away which results in her crying hysterically and her friend to wail loudly in panic.
They all wait in the hallway as the older woman continues looking at the girls, passing some by, and nodding for another to be taken away. Most of the girls are quieter when taken away, but sniffling just the same. Finally, the older woman approaches Aisha. She pauses to tell the guard to lead the girls away that she did not choose.
The older woman turns to Aisha and starts to look her up and down. Her eyes raise up again and she notices Aisha looking her straight in the eyes. "Girl, what is your name?"
Aisha raises her chin and says, "My name is Aisha."
The woman stares at her, seeming to contemplate something. Aisha, assuming she should, turns around to be inspected. The older woman looks a bit startled, but says nothing. She stares at the younger woman's backside for a long moment. "Guard, lead her to my personal chambers. I will continue the inspection myself." A knowing look crosses the guard's face briefly, but he recovers and nods. "Girl, follow me."
Alone in the lavish chambers of the older woman, Aisha fidgets nervously, not knowing if she should sit or remain standing. An over-sized bed with deep purple and dark pink silks bedding is the center of the room. She barely gets a chance to look around, when with a whisper of silk the older woman enters the room. "Aisha, my name is Huddah. I am the First of the harem, and have been with the Sheikh from the time that we both were very young. He trusts my judgement in selecting new girls for the harem, but ultimately it his him that decides who stays. Now, I must inspect you to be assured that you are a virgin as the Sheikh wants no man but himself to touch any of his women before he does. Lay on the bed, with your hind end at the edge, and spread your legs."
Aisha stared at the woman in confusion. "I don't understand. They already confirmed my virginity at the market, and again when we first entered the palace."
Huddah crosses her arms, and says in a stern voice, "If you want to have an easier life in the harem, IF the Sheik decides to keep you, it would bode well to do what you are told at all times. Move. Now."
Aisha walked reluctantly to the bed. The first time she was inspected, was terrifying and invasive. The elderly woman that checked her had spread her legs apart roughly, sticking her nails into her thighs, and laughed when Aisha tried to close her legs. She had gripped her "down there" roughly and pulled the lips apart, pinching them hard. Aisha, being proud, had fought off the urge to cry out in pain when the woman jammed her fingers inside her. She was not going to let anyone see her cry or be afraid. At the palace, they were gentler, and the inspection was done by two women closer to her age. They had spoken to her soothingly as they spread her lips carefully, only looked at her and did not put any fingers inside her. It was like when her mother would help other women deliver their babies. They seemed to just perform a duty.
Now, she didn't know what to expect. Would this woman hurt her too? The woman seemed like no one to defy, but she didn't seem terribly unkind either. Aisha laid down on the side of the bed, and scooted her behind down to the edge. "Put your hands on your inner thighs, and hold them apart, girl", said Huddah. Aisha did as she was told, closed her eyes, and braced herself for what was to come. She could hear the silks that Huddah was wearing whisper slightly as she settled down between her legs. Aisha felt Huddah's breath on her pussy, which slightly tickled it. Aisha swallowed nervously, hoping that the woman would not hurt her. She felt her lips being spread again, gently and slowly. Huddah paused, and after a moment say, "Yes, I can see your virginity is still intact. Your parents must be proud to have such a daughter. Have you let anyone play with you down here, girl?"
"I don't understand what you mean, Huddah."
"Well", said Huddah, "has anyone touched you like this?" Aisha felt Huddah slide a finger up and down slowly between the lips of her pussy.
Aisha sucked in her breath both in shock and for another reason she could not explain. "Nnnn...no Huddah."
"Hmm. Pity. Well, you will get used to it." Huddah continues sliding her finger between Aisha's pussy lips, stopping to rub toward the top on the hard nub that Aisha had sometimes accidentally bumped when bathing. She had noticed it was sensitive and now it was getting more sensitive with each stroke. "You will come to crave it. I can tell that you are a sensual creature. Somewhat defiant too. You remind me of myself when the Sheik accepted me. Listen to me, and you will have a great life here."
Aisha gulps, and is having difficulty listening to the woman's words. She is confused by what the woman is doing to her down there. It doesn't hurt. In fact, it feels...good. She feels like something inside her is building up, and if the woman were to stop what she is doing, she may need to rub it herself to relieve whatever it is that she is lacking. She feels Huddah moving the finger between her lips, faster. Aisha feels her pussy getting wet. Huddah slides the pussy juice up and down, spreading it over the little nub at the top. "This little place here, Aisha, is your clit. It feels good when I rub it, doesn't it?"
Aisha squeaks out a non-verbal response. Huddah laughs softly and kisses Aisha's thigh.
"Yes, I believe the Sheik will be very pleased with you. I am sure he will accept you." The woman abruptly pulls her hand away, leaving Aisha still holding her own thighs apart, panting, and still wanting. Wanting what, she can't put words to. "Now rise girl, it is time we begin your training."
Training begins
Haddah led the naked Aisha to a small, dark room that only had one candle in a far corner as a light source. On the floor was a narrow, shallow bench with the shorter ends against the back wall, and towards the door. The bench was covered in teal, purple, and pink satin covered flat cushions. The box had several circles cut into the sides, with the exception of one large square cut out on the sides closest to the end away from the door. Haddah had Aisha wait outside the door with her until a young woman appeared, that Aisha recognized as one of the girls that had inspected her earlier.
The girl smiled shyly at Aisha, and walked into the room. She paused at the bench, pulled placed her hand at the underside of the bench and opened it like a coffin. Aisha could see a handle was on the inside of the lid. She noticed that on the end closest to the back wall, there was a round circle cut out in the middle of the cushion. The girl stood inside the open bench, laid down on her back and closed the lid from the inside.
