She could not say that she completely came down or that she ever stopped orgasming, but the woman's voice broke through the haze. She became aware of all that was happening around her.
Before this night, all that had happened to her, all she had felt, she would have been scandalized, petrified, embarrassed.
An orgy. The room seemed to have broken out into a massive orgy. Naked and semi-naked people were distributed about the place. Some couples, some threesomes, and more than one group. While it was mainly heterosexual couplings, there were men with other men and women with women.
While she was confident that no porn had ever been as graphic, there was nothing cheap, demeaning, or dirty about it. Holy. Sacred. As odd as that sounded, there was some beautifully solemn presence that hung about the room.
"Yes, my Priestess, now you see, now you understand. In Her, in the eyes of the Goddess, nothing done in love can ever be wrong."
The woman bent and kissed first her left breast, then her right. The caress was not as much sexual as it was an anointing and blessing. She just knew this somehow as well.
Still, it was a shock when the woman's head continued lower. The first kisses were atop her lower abdomen, an inverted triangle that she knew roughly corresponded to her ovaries and cervix. But the woman's words stunned her, "You are blessed among women, and the fruit of your womb is blessed."
Those brown eyes were laughing as they turned upwards to capture her gaze, "She is hidden in plain sight among them all. Interwoven with those male gods is always Her loving grace and presence."
She nodded as other phrases, other scriptures that had been virtually forced fed upon her by various foster parents came to mind, each revealed in some new light. She realized that, for the first time, so many things made sense to her.
She did not have time to ponder all the revelations as she felt something warm and wet, licking her inner thighs. Two somethings actually. One began at her knees and crept slowly upwards. It was the other that held her attention as the solemn benediction of those womb caresses transmuted into a sensual explosion.
The woman's head was once more bent between her legs. This time it seemed she was washing the blood and other bodily fluids from her inner thighs. Her tongue and lips moved ever closer to that core, which continued to strum with need and quake with aftershocks or perhaps tiny orgasms.
Those exploded once more the moment that she felt the wet tongue on her clitoris. It seemed so surreal, yet, on some level, more real than anything ever had been. Her body, her mind, her very soul resonated with energy, like the keys on a piano that has been struck by a finger or the strings on a guitar. She sang a melody so ancient that it was life itself. And those around her joined in the chorus.
What was time? Only pleasure, acceptance, and unconditional love registered in her mind. She felt and understood things that she had never felt real before, but now they made perfect sense. She found perfect union with the universe, this world, its creatures, those around her, and for the first time ever with herself. The orgy and her orgasm went on and on and onβan eternity in the blink of an eye.
The woman lifted her head from her legs, but the orgasm did not abate even a little. Those warm brown eyes smiled at her, "Are you ready to accept your mate, my daughter? To become one in body as well as soul with another, as the Goddess intended for us all."
"Yes, I welcome my mate. I embrace my Fate." The seemingly ritualistic words were out of her mouth before she even thought them. Before she had time to consider her choice or the implications of it. But she did not care. She no longer doubted, at least at this moment.
