As my nineteenth birthday approached, in the year 1920, I was sent to live with a distant cousin in a mountainous area of Austria, not far from the German border.
To tell the reader a little about myself. I'm a slightly built young woman, with finely textured dark blonde hair, blue grey eyes, small hands and feet. I've always been fortunate with my complexion and my figure, which is slender rather than voluptuous, almost boyish. My parents died when I was young, and I lived deep in the country with a reclusive though fairly well off aunt, who spoke little and drank a lot.
The village was small and backward; we associated little with the villagers, except as rather unsatisfactory servants. I've always been shy and reserved, submissive by nature, so did not have many friends or intimates, but entertained myself with reading, painting and my flower garden.
At this time, I had just completed my first term boarding at a strict Young Ladies' College in a small local town. Discipline and rules were imposed by the elderly nuns who staffed the college; we were closely watched and restricted in our movements. I had never experienced any sexual contact. Occasionally while bathing I had discovered warm sensations, but had never followed through on them. I suppose I was unusually naive. Certainly at the age of 19 I had seen very little of the world.
I was therefore taken very much aback by an incident that took place a month into my school term. We slept in dormitories; the lights were out and the no talking rule was in effect. As I drifted off to sleep, I was shocked when another girl slipped into my bed. She was a tall, handsome, red-headed young woman whom I had admired from a distance for her confidence and good looks. In the dark I started to protest, whereupon she placed a powerful hand over my mouth and whispered a warning to remain silent. She then kissed me passionately, thrusting her tongue into my astonished mouth, and proceeded to pull up my nightdress to fondle and squeeze my tender breasts and bottom.
When her hand moved between my legs I tried to push her away; she silenced me with her palm over my protesting lips and gave my hair several painful tugs. Intimidated, I allowed her to reach between my thighs and place her fingers on my pussy. She began to skillfully caress me there, finding a spot that seemed extraordinarily sensitive. A warm glow kindled, I became very wet, and she held me close as she steadily brought me to my first, necessarily silent but intense orgasm.
Taking my slender fingers, she then guided them into her own wet orifice and demonstrated a combined stroking and inserting that clearly gave her immense pleasure, so that she convulsed several times. Kissing me repeatedly with open mouth, she stroked my face and murmured an endearment, along with a warning to remain silent. She then padded away back to her own bed.
From this point she invited herself to my bed almost every night. She had told me that I must be naked at such times; she pulled off her own shift once she was beneath the covers. Beginning by probing my soft mouth with her tongue, she graduated to pushing my head deep under the covers. There she had me lick and suck her pussy, while caressing her with two fingers making a "come here" motion.
By the end of the encounter she would be soaking wet, and my face would be covered with her slippery, salty secretions. During the day she kept her distance, except to give me an occasional meaningful glance. Any resistance I might make was greeted with painful hair pulling and pinching; I quickly learned that it was easier to do her bidding, which after all brought me some pleasure as well.
One afternoon most of the students had been taken by the nuns on a strictly chaperoned outing. The redhead and I had stayed behind at the school; she found me in the dormitory alone, made me strip naked and lie on my back on the narrow bed. Undressing, she presented a fine, somewhat freckled figure, with large upright breasts and shapely hips, quite a contrast to my more boyish shape. She knee-walked across the mattress and spread her legs apart over my upturned face.
Pressing her open pussy onto me, she leaned forward and began to lick me. I was almost smothered by her soft round buttocks, but found the space to reciprocate with my own lips and tongue. In this position we licked and sucked until we orgasmed together several times. Her naked parts excited me, so that when she repositioned her bottom to press her most secretive opening against my mouth, I was able to bring myself to lick her small puckered entrance as she desired. This caused her stupendous delight and she writhed in sensation, sliding her soaking wet parts back and forth across my face. Afterwards I was deeply embarrassed; as usual she remained remote, as if nothing untoward had happened.
This passionate sapphic education necessarily ended when I was informed that, my aunt being virtually comatose, I was to be sent to live with my relative. I had never met him; he was apparently middle aged, well set up, of some means. His home - virtually a castle - was situated on a small mountain side that was accessed through a deep pine forest. The carriage brought me through a tall iron gate set in a high stone wall, where I was met by an unsmiling uniformed servant. He brought me up a flight of steps to a well appointed, comfortable bedroom with windows that looked out over a sharply dropping cliff., He informed me that I would be dining alone, but would present myself to the master - the Count von Konigsberg - after dinner.
Guided through high ceilinged hallways hung with valuable oil paintings, I knocked timidly and entered a vast reception room, brilliantly lit and containing much fine antique furniture. On a dais before me reclined a tall, powerfully built middle aged man, dressed in beautifully cut evening clothes. Next to him sat a handsome woman of about the same age, also expensively attired and beautifully coiffed. I curtsied politely to this imposing pair and waited to be addressed.
"Young Sophie. Welcome to my home, which will be yours for the immediate future." His voice was deep and penetrating. I thanked him and asked what he would wish of me.
"You are here to learn...to be trained to be a presentable, respectful wife, possibly to one of my business connections. To that end, your behavior must be exemplary. My sister here, Countess Leonie, will educate you in proper comportment". Here the handsome woman nodded at me haughtily. "It is essential that you be thoroughly molded; you will after all be representing my family to a wealthy, influential gentleman. You will obey our directives without question. Submission and obedience are all-important. The Countess will begin your education now; I leave you in her excellent hands."
The Countess - she was tall and energetic in her movements - stepped down to my level. As I stood there nervously, not entirely sure what was expected of me, she inspected me closely, took my hand and checked my manicure, touched my hair and stroked my cheek. Placing a hand beneath my chin, she tilted my head back and examined my features. They seemed to please her, and she stepped back.
