Teela and I walked back to the rooms we were assigned. My room was a permanent assignment, Teela's was temporary as Lord Tausin would be spend a lot more time at the castle getting settled into his new role and assuring that his successor as Reeve was brought up to speed quickly. Along the way I had to ask what was appropriate for a trip to the bathhouse. I had seen her wearing her plain white dress when she accompanied her owner, and thought that I would wear the same. Thought I thought an upgrade to the usual white linen frock was in order.
Using the wardrobe bracelet I selected a simple white linen dress in the same style that Teela planned on wearing tonight. I giggled as I thought about entertaining Yashu with a glimpse of the little barbarian girl outfits that I wore on the wagon ride to the castle, but thought that I had better attempt to fit in than stand out tonight. I also did not want to scare off Captain Yashu either as I had plans for him.
It did not take Teela long to put herself together for the evening, which denied me any time for makeup and hair fixing. I wrapped my hair loosely then pinned it to the top of my head with the two throwing spikes that I rarely left home without. Lately I did not feel comfortable unless I had a little something hidden away for protection. Teela knocked at the door just as I was slipping into a pair of white flat sandals. I thought that turning an ankle in heels on the coble stone streets would not be much fun tonight. I closed the door to my room, and headed down the hallway. Once outside we hooked arms and walked together to meet up with Lord Tausin. Along the way she interrogated me about Captain Yashu and the prospects of him and I doing the "boratcha" boogie. I giggled slightly the first time she mentioned his name. Until now it never occurred to me that the studly guy I wanted to pounce on had a first name that sounded like a sneeze.
I teasingly told her that I planed on immediately ripping his clothes off and taking him right there in the bathing pool.
She got serious all of a sudden and told me that this would be forbidden. There was to be no sex in the bath ever and mentioned that there were alcoves along the walls on the ground floor and more luxurious accommodations on the balcony overlooking the bathing pool.
I nodded and told her that I understood. I had planned on playing it careful and conservative anyway being that I had just been thrust into a new role with many responsibilities and that this was my first trip to the Kreetin bathhouse. I had read up on how the bathhouses in Pompeii and Rome were back in 100 BCE, and in my mind I thought that the ones here would be similar and they were.
Teela mentioned that this was one of the more upscale establishments reserved for the Royals, the Lords and Ladies, and the captains of business and industry. She explained that in my new position I am welcome there as Yashu would be also as he shares a similar position with Lord Tosk's staff. Teela went on to say that given his position and mine, and being that I reported directly to Prince Vortak, my rank superseded his and that I should behave accordingly in public.
That was a bombshell that just exploded on me, as I did not have time to think of such things, as I was very close to becoming a cat in heat. Teela cautioned about us doing anything sexual in public, but stated that it was not forbidden; just that it must be done properly, as in I should not assume a subordinate or submissive position to him in public. In other words, no boratcha in public places. I could do what ever in private, but even then she cautioned me about lessening my standard of behavior with a subordinate.
I jokingly responded to this news that perhaps I should just pounce on the Prince tonight and let him have his way with me.
A deep male voice from behind us chimed in and suggested that his highness would probably enjoy that, but he would probably be worn out and walking funny by morning.
I turned to see Lord Tausin walking close behind us. He broke out in a loud belly laugh as I turned around and looked up at him. Had it been earlier in the day he would have seen my cheeks tinge pink with embarrassment. He gave us both a gentle shove, "Get moving you two, let us not keep Kitty's victim waiting too long" he said as we stopped dawdling about and made our way to the bathhouse.
As we entered the bathhouse, Lord Tausin put his lips to my ear and cautioned, "Teela was correct in what she told you about your position, should you and your Captain bathe in view of others, the washing should appear mutual." He ended the whisper with, "Do you understand Kitty?"
I nodded and replied seriously, "Yes My Lord, I understand."
Lord Tausin and Teela smiled at me then ushered me to a cordoned off section of the bathing area. I followed their lead and stripped off my dress and sandals. Like Teela I had gone commando tonight. I left the bra and panties tucked safely away in my wardrobe bracelet. A young lady collected our clothing for us as we disrobed. She carefully folded our garments and placed them on a table next to a folded stack of soft towels.
I left my hair pinned up and followed my friends to the washing pool. The bathhouse was divided into two areas, one for washing, and the other for bathing. It was similar to the custom of old Japan where first you washed, then you bathed. The bathing was more socializing than anything else. Before I slipped into the water I looked around for Yashu and to my dismay, he was nowhere to be seen. I felt a bit sad that he was not there but I figured that perhaps some late minute issue had cropped up that required his attention.
Teela began soaping up Lord Tausin and started washing his front side. Not knowing if it was proper or not I picked up a soft cloth and followed Teela's lead and began soaping down his back. I looked quizzically at Teela before I joined in and her wink and nod told me that it was ok. Together was washed him down good, and Teela paid extra attention to his most sensitive man parts, which had him, erect and ready to boratcha Teela good and proper.
Teela gave him a final rinse off, then we turned to each other and as I turned toward her I was promptly struck in the chest with a wet soapy rag that she had lobbed toward me. Lord Tausin gave his throat a cautionary clearing and Teela got the message that she had to be careful of my new station in the Kingdom. Unfortunately she got the message as the same soapy cloth spattered against the center of her chest then hung motionless between her orange sized breasts.
We both had a giggle together than we gave each other a good washing. During the soaping and rinsing I had a chance to get a good look at our Lord and Teela standing close together. He was a good six inches taller than her and they both could have been the poster people for keeping the Kingdom physically fit. Even though there was a large age difference, he was more than capable of keeping up with her, and she was more than capable of keeping him up if you know what I mean. My eyes kept falling to his manhood and as I kept looking him and her over, one thought that kept occurring to me is how often he hits bottom when he is inside her. I was so tempted to just reach out and touch his marvelous tool as for the first time I had become truly envious of Teela.
