Capitulus II (Chapter 02)
Sex practices at the Academy
Several weeks have gone by since Steev and Cherl found themselves on this new world. It extremely Earthlike; however, in comparison to Earth, Romana is 21 centuries behind Earth time. The Earthlings have established themselves in trade and their lives are pleasant but boring. Everything goes too well and, so far, there have been no challenges to keep them stimulated. Well, they have been stimulated but only (only?) sexually.
Cherl has had her hostess, Zhanet, in her bed quite frequently. Zhanet is a graduate of an academy that trained her in the arts of lovemaking with both men and women. When Zhanet isn't available, Cherl has the choice of her host's four lovely musicians, and Steev has offered her the services of his two young consorts, Keri and Sera. She has not accepted them yet, as she has had her 'brains fucked out' by Zhanet and hasn't been in need of another woman -- so far. There is also the factor that Steev would be saddened if they left his bed even for an evening.
Cherl has been waiting patiently for Claude to take her to the nearby city and allow her to purchase a woman of her own. His own business has been foremost in Claude's mind, and he hasn't had time to spare for Cherl's needs, uh, wants. He knows there are enough women in his household to take care of any sexual activity or deviance that she can possibly dream up. He is in no hurry to take her to the market.
On Dies Solis, Sunday, everyone is on the patio basking in the warm sun when there is a commotion at the service entrance. A servant approaches Claude and whispers in his ear and waits for instructions.
Claude speaks to Steev, "There is a delegation of tradesmen who wish to discuss a pressing problem. Come with me, Steev. You need to know our local business people."
Claude welcomes the men into his home and waits for them to tell him of their problem. One by one, they tell him how the new trade goods are hurting their business. They are not making money because everyone is bypassing their stores to buy Claude's goods. They explain that they don't expect him to discontinue sales, but would he distribute the goods to them as well as a select few merchants. Claude realizes that he has upset a balance within the business community, and that if these men have no money to make purchases, the entire economy could suffer. He asks them for a few days to come up with an answer. They are relieved that he is not angry with them and thank him as they leave.
After they are gone, Claude is deep in thought. He asks Steev what he thinks they should do. He doesn't want to lose Steev's goodwill and trade goods. Fortunately, Steev has been wondering how long this trade imbalance would go on. With much coming in and none being sold outside, the whole economy might collapse. He asks Claude for a day or two to find an answer and Claude agrees.
On Dies Lunea, Monday, Steev returns to the ExoSphere to pore over the rep-card catalogue. He checks to see if there are instructions to manufacture some items that the replicator can produce. He finds that there are a set of instructions and diagrams for many items in the catalogue. He wonders if those plans existed before he started checking. Since there is no way of finding out, he prints out several dozen sets of plans and returns to Claude's estate. He may have the answer to the local problem.
When he shows the diagrams to Claude and tells him of his plans, Claude grimaces and wonders why he hadn't thought of this apparent solution. They will set up a training school to teach the locals how to manufacture goods similar to those that Cherl and Steev have introduced here. Steev will no longer have to use the replicator for items the townspeople can make; he and Claude will charge a small surtax on every item sold both in the city and in foreign trade. Claude is ecstatic. He foresees the city's economy blossoming. He puts their plans into immediate effect and has a training facility set up in his warehouse and invites craftsmen to join union shop.
His plan is to buy raw materials from neighboring towns and have goods handmade in his shops. He sees gold coins pouring into his treasury whenever he closes his eyes.
Steev is not so jubilant. He finds Sera and Keri rather depressed, and they can't seem to express their feelings to him. He asks Cherl to talk to them and try to discover what is troubling them. Cherl does as he asks and the young women open up to her, crying at their unhappiness.
"Steev, you bastard. You have made those two sweet young women miserable."
"What did I do? I have treated them with nothing but kindness."
"What did you do? What did you not do? What the hell did we discuss a few weeks ago? You were concerned about their ages and that they were like the daughters you wanted to have but didn't have. You swore you wouldn't let that stand in your way, and you would treat them as you would any other beautiful women. It turns out that you have permitted them to suck you off, but you haven't fucked them. They are beside themselves thinking you find them unappealing or worse, that you dislike them and their bodies.
What did you do? Absolutely nothing. That's my point. Either fuck them or give them to me and find some old bags your age to share your bed."
Cherl is steaming mad and stomps off. She finds one of the pretty musicians and practically drags her to her room. She pulls off her chiton and directs the young women to her genitals. She tells her not to bother with foreplay but just lick her to orgasm, many orgasms. The girl pulls off her own chiton, slides up between Cherl's legs and begins an oral sex session that goes on for over two hours. Cherl's anger is dissipated and she is more relaxed. She tells the musician to clean her face and prepare to sleep with her this evening. The girl asks if she wants another girl to join them, but Cherl says no. She wants to sleep with only her tonight. The young woman is pleased by Cherl's choosing her. She snuggles up against Cherl and puts her face between Cherl's breasts and profusely kisses them all over; she asks Cherl what more she can do to please her.
Cherl tells her to go to sleep.
The next morning, Cherl awakens to the girl between her legs; the young woman's tongue is in Cherl's vagina. She is not licking, but just pressing her mouth against Cherl's pubes. Cherl expects the girl's tongue to begin thrusting but that doesn't happen. Cherl sits up and looks down at the girl's face. The girl is looking up at her as if expecting some sign or other. "What are you waiting for, child? Are you going to eat me?'
The girl withdraws her tongue and says, "No Ma'am. I'm going to drink you as soon as you're ready. I've been waiting for half an hour for you to empty. My tongue is very tired, but I can wait a while longer. I'm sorry if I am rushing you."
"Your waiting for me to empty what, honey? My secretions? My pussy juices? You managed to suck me dry last night. As wet as I get, you did a fine job sucking it all out. We can get up and have our morning meal now."
"But Ma'am, I'm supposed to take care of you in the morning if I sleep with you all night. That's what I've been trained to do. It wouldn't be right if I didn't do it."
"You have me at a disadvantage, sweetness. What are you supposed to do? Remember, I'm new here and don't know all the rules yet. Furthermore, stop calling me Ma'am. I'm not your mother. My name is Cherl."
I can't call you by name, Ma'am. I would have to be beaten if I did that."
