For one blissful moment between sleep and wakefulness, Tulio was himself again. Male, relatively dignified, and definitely not in possession of childbearing hips.
Then he rolled over.
"Oh right," she groaned as several bits of anatomy exhibited very not-masculine properties.
"Oh good, you're finally awake!"
Tulio cracked open one eye to find his own face grinning down at him with an expression he'd never worn in her life.
"Go away, Chel." Tulio pulled the silk sheet higher.
"Oh please, no need to hide," Chel laughed. "Those are my breasts, I know what they look like."
"The Chief certainly had good things to say about them at breakfast," Miguel offered helpfully from somewhere behind her.
Tulio bolted upright, then squeaked as the sheet slipped. "MIGUEL!"
"What?" He held up his hands defensively. "I'm just saying, he was very... enthusiastic in his appreciation. The whole city heard his, uh, enthusiasm. And, um, well, yours..."
"The WHOLE city?" Tulio's voice hit a pitch that shattered a priceless vase.
"Well, maybe the eastern district might have missed a few of the more colorful moments..." Miguel hedged.
"'YES CHIEF, SPLIT ME OPEN WITH YOUR--'," Chel added cheerfully.
"I DID NOT SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT!"
"Oh? Then what DID you say?" Chel's smile was pure evil.
"I... um... you..." Tulio spluttered, clutching the sheet like a shield.
"I've got it!" Miguel chimed in. "Ahem: 'Please Chief, I need your massive chiefly cock, I'm just a helpless little temple dancer, use me like the sacred vessel I am--'"
"THAT'S IT!" Tulio leaped up, modesty forgotten in favor of murder.
Unfortunately, gravity and silk sheets rarely take the side of justice. Tulio's foot caught in the fabric, sending her tumbling to the floor in a heap of flailing limbs and bouncing flesh.
Miguel and Chel exchanged a look.
"So," Chel said conversationally as Tulio struggled to right himself, "I guess the rumors about the Chief's 'scepter' were true?"
"Are you referring to his ceremonial cervix crusher?" Miguel vaulted over a table as Tulio lunged for him.
"I was thinking of his tribal battering ram," Chel adjusted her headdress in the mirror, unconcerned by the shrieks of rage behind her.
"Ah, the blessed breeding pole!" Miguel narrowly avoided death by decorative vase.
"His mighty monument to manhood..."
"I'LL MONUMENT YOU!"
"I think what our little lovebird is trying to say," Chel interjected as Tulio chased Miguel around the room, "is that the Chief's equipment was a bit... overwhelming for a delicate flower such as herself."
"I AM NOT A DELICATE FLOWER!"
"Of course not, darling. You're a sturdy, well-plowed field now."
Tulio made a sound like a boiling teakettle and launched himself at Chel, who sidestepped neatly.
"Temper! Is that any way for a sacred vessel to behave?"
"Someone's grumpy this morning." Miguel leaned down to pat Tulio's head condescendingly while she was in a heap on the ground. "Is this one of those lady moods?"
Tulio lunged, but was hampered by the sheet, her hair, and the fact that certain parts of her were still quite sore from the previous night's activities. She settled for an inarticulate howl of rage.
"We should probably get some food in her before the homicidal urges set in," Chel diagnosed.
"Oh, I think the Chief took care of that," Miguel said cheerfully. "From what I heard, he gave her quite the protein shake--"
The scream that followed caused birds to take flight from the trees in the distant jungle. Altivo, grazing peacefully in the courtyard, raised his head and then, deciding that he wanted no part of whatever nonsense the humans were up to now, went back to his breakfast.
"I DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANY OF IT!" Tulio's voice was hoarse from shrieking, but that didn't stop her. "HE WAS JUST SO BIG AND IT WAS ALL HAPPENING SO FAST--"
"Whoa, whoa, slow down," Chel held up her hands. "Take a deep breath. Start from the beginning."
Tulio glared at her, chest heaving. But she did take a breath.
"The beginning," she said through gritted teeth, "was when this conniving backstabber of an IDIOTIC SLUT--" she jabbed a finger at Chel, "--offered me up like a sacrificial lamb!"
"Hey now, let's not be dramatic--"
"--AND I TRIED TO SAY NO BUT HE JUST KEPT GOING AND IT FELT SO WEIRD BUT ALSO KIND OF GOOD AND I HATED IT BUT MY BODY LIKED IT AND--"
"Should we... stop her?" Miguel asked uncertainly.
"BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE I WANTED TO ENJOY IT, I DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THIS, BUT THEN HE HIT THIS SPOT AND EVERYTHING JUST SORT OF EXPLODED--"
"Nah," Chel said, examining her cuticles, which were in dire need of some attention. "She needs to get it out of her system."
"--AND THEN HE JUST KEPT POUNDING AND POUNDING AND HIS ENORMOUS FUCK STICK FELT LIKE IT WAS SPLITTING ME OPEN BUT ALSO FILLING ME UP SO PERFECTLY--"
Miguel's eyebrows shot up. "Wow. Okay. That's... vivid."
Chel smirked. "I told you. The Chief's totem pole is the stuff of legend."
"--AND WHEN I CAME, I SWEAR I SAW ACTUAL STARS, LIKE THE WHOLE COSMOS EXPLODING BEHIND MY EYELIDS AS I CLAMPED DOWN ON HIS FAT DICK--"
"Should we be taking notes?" Miguel asked, tilting his head. "Some of this sounds like it could be useful for the future novelization."
"--AND THEN HE PAINTED MY BODY WITH HIS HOT, THICK CUM AND IT FELT SO DEGRADING BUT ALSO WEIRDLY SATISFYING--"
Chel considered. "Might not be a bad idea."
"--AND NOW I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, ABOUT HOW GOOD IT FELT TO BE USED LIKE THAT, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT'S WRONG--"
"Wait," Miguel held up a hand. "So she's saying she... liked it?"
Tulio froze mid-rant, her eyes going wide. "I didn't... that's not what I..."
"This is too good," Chel grinned. "Our little Tulio discovered the joys of womanhood and now she's hooked!"
"I AM NOT HOOKED!"
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much," Miguel said sagely.
"I'LL SHOW YOU PROTESTING--"
"Okay, okay, let's all calm down," Chel interjected before Tulio could launch herself at Miguel again. "Clearly, last night was a lot for you to process. But the fact is, it happened. And from the sounds of it, it happened pretty thoroughly."
"IT WAS THE BODY!" Tulio screeched, gesturing wildly to his curvaceous form. "This thing has a mind of its own! It was just... reacting!"
"Reacting to some VERY thorough stimulation," Miguel added helpfully.
"NOT. HELPING."
"Look, it's nothing to be ashamed of," Chel said in a tone that suggested the exact opposite. "The Chief is a powerful man. Virile. Charismatic. With an absolutely gigantic--"
