'Caroline will lie with her face between my thighs tonight, Beatrice. I shall wear black stockings-pearls around my neck. My thighs will clench her ears. Will you see? Do you wish to see?'
My eyes pleaded. She laughed. She squeezed my chin until my lips parted. 'You can see his cock,' she breathed. Her tongue snaked within my mouth. I tasted the breath of her, warm and sweet as Benedictine. She twirled her tongue, then moved to Caroline. 'Put your tongue in my mouth-Caroline!'
Oh, the fool-she should have obeyed immediately. Katherine slapped her face. The tip of Frederick's prick quivered.
'I shall commence exercising you soon, Caroline. Do you understand?'
'No.' My sister's voice was small as if she were hiding behind a pew in church.
'You say, `No, Madame.''
'No, Madame.'
Caroline can be dutiful. I like her body. It curves so sweetly. Her breasts and bottom are plentiful.
'You will learn,' Katherine said. Then Jenny entered. It was a play-a private play, I felt. She stood in the doorway, hands on hips, observing us. Was she jealous? When Katherine turned, Jenny's hands dropped immediately to her sides. There were no words yet. It was a mime.
'Let him rise,' Katherine commanded. Jenny smiled. She walked forward and flicked her crop against his straining tool. He groaned in his rising. His eyes were haggard.
'You may choose,' Katherine told her. Jenny tossed her head. She looked from one to the other of us. She strode -strode to Caroline and pulled her forward.
'Please no,' Caroline said. Her feet skittered, dragged. Her free hand pleaded to the air. The chaffeur had turned to face her. He had tucked our dresses up sufficiently tightly for them to remain so. I wanted to kiss Caroline's bottom. The cheeks are firm and plump. Her pubis pouts.
'Bend her over the trestle,' Katherine said.
Caroline shrieked. Jenny had hold of the chain from her neckband and pulled it tight, forcing her over. Caroline's shriek dropped like a fallen handkerchief and lay there, crumpled and used. Her back was bent until she was forced to place her palms on the floor. Her bottom mounded. The sweet fig of her slit showed.
The servant waited. His erection remained as stiff as ever. There was excitement.
'Dip!' Katherine said.
There were new words. I was learning them. Display -dip. His eyes burned. Caroline's hips were high. He took them, gripped them. Rebelliously she endeavoured to twist them but he held her. His lips moved. I wanted words to come-a revelation-but no words came. His loins arched. The crest of his penis touched, probed.
'Caroline! Do not move or speak or you will be whipped!' Katherine said.
She stood observing, as one observes. It was so in the drawing room the night before when my aunt watched the waiting penis enter between the cheeks of Arabella's bottom. I could see now only the servant's haunches, his balls hanging below. Caroline bubbled a moan. Was it speech? His shaft entered-slow, but slow-the petal lips parting to receive it. The straining veins, the purplish head, the foreskin stretched.
Caroline's head jerked up and then was pulled back down by the tensioning of the chain in Jenny's grip.
'No, Caroline!' Jenny said softly.
Four inches, five. Caroline's mouth opened. Perhaps she had not, as I thought, sucked upon the penis. Her lovemouth gripped. The ring of truth. Cries gurgled from her lips. Six inches, seven. The fit was tight. I saw her buttocks squeeze, relax. His hands moved to the fronts of her thighs, suavely gripping them. A burr of stocking tops to his palms.
'No-ooooh!'
A soft, faint whimper. In! Ensconced. Buried to the hilt, his balls hung beneath her bottom.
A second ticked. Two. Three.
'Out!' Katherine snapped.
Gleaming, his shaft emerged. I saw his face in profile, the lines etched as by Durer. She jerked her head. He moved towards his clothes. Caroline blubbered softly, her hips wriggled as if she still contained him. Jenny drew her up by the chain. Caroline's eyes floated with tears. Her face suffused.
In the house-not until in the house-were our neck halters removed. We stood in the morning room. We waited. Katherine moved to Caroline and stroked her cheek.
'Are you learning?' she asked. There was summer in her voice.
'Madame?'
Caroline's voice was blank, soft as the sponge that had laved us. Katherine shook her head. 'It does not matter,' she said. We shared secrets, but I knew not what they were. The secret between Caroline's thighs tingled. I could feel its tingling like a buzzing on my lips. Caroline was wicked. I felt certain that she was. Her containment had been too great. She should have cried. Would I have cried? Kathy turned away.
'You know I will whip you if you do not tell me, Caroline.'
Caroline's lips moved, burbled, hummed. 'M… m… m…' Her thighs trembled. Kathy turned back to her.
'That is better,' she smiled, 'you are naughty, Caroline, you know you are. I have to train you. Edward is trained. Do you not think he is well trained?'
Caroline bent her head. She was alone. Each of us alone except when we are kissing, touching. Sometimes when I am being touched I am alone. There was a small cloud around her lips, pretty lips. It said yes. Katherine was pleased again. Aunt Maude entered. There was movement. Unspeaking she took my arm and led me out.
Upstairs in my room she removed my dress. I saw the bed and it was not my bed, not the bed I had slept in. The headboard was different. Wrist clamps hung from the headboard. She made me lie down. She straightened my stockings and drew my legs apart. I waited for my ankles to be secured. I was passive. She drew my arms above my head and fastened the wrist straps. Her face bent over mine.
'It is for your good, Caroline. Are you happy?'
I said yes. I wanted to please her. Proud in my bonds I lay. My belly made a slight curve.
'Perhaps,' she answered. It was a strange word. 'You will grow happy. Edward was weak for you, was he not?'
I nodded. The morning light grew and bloomed over my body. I had fine breasts, good haunches, a slender waist, Aunt Maude said. Was Jenny nice to me, she asked. I thought yes, no. I wanted to be kissed. I parted my lips as Jenny had told me to. I was not sure, Aunt Maude said. I would be sure soon. She bent over and kissed me and laid her fingers on the innerness of my nearest thigh. Her mouth was warm and full.
'Flick your tongue a little, Beatrice. Quick little flicks with half your tongue.'
She was teaching me. Our mouths fused together. Her forefinger brushed my button-too lightly. My hips bucked. My aunt stopped kissing me and smiled. She sat up. Regarding me, she unbuttoned her dress and laid it back from her shoulders. Her breasts were heavy gourds, the nipples dark brown and thick. Brown in their darkness brown. The gourds loomed over my face, brushed my chin, my nose. My aunt purred a purring sound. Her breasts swung Iike bells across my mouth. The nipples grew and teased between my lips. I wanted to bite. Katherine entered. She waited and my aunt rose.
'He has not whipped her yet?' Katherine asked. Aunt Maude shook her head.
'Soon, perhaps.'
'Yes,' Katherine said. She removed her dress, the filmy folds. Her stockings were silver, banded by black garters of ruched silk. Her drawers were of black satin, small, such as a ballet dancer wears. Her breasts jiggled free. She sat at the dressing table beside my bed. Aunt Maude stripped off her own dress and stood at Katherine's back, brushing her hair. They smiled at one another in the mirror. The smile would stay there for a moment like the impress of my lips when I used to kiss myself after father had spanked me.
Katherine rose. My aunt looked superb in her stockings, bootees, a waspie corset, frilled knickers. They exchanged sentences with their eyes as if they were posting small, personal notes. My aunt nodded. Katherine mounted the bed over me at my shoulders, facing my feet. The moon of her bottom loomed over my face.
'Her legs,' she said.
The board of the bed to which my ankles were now tethered and spread moved forward, making my knees bend. It was an ingenious device, as I later discovered. The upright board was fixed to the legs which rested on heavy castors. Being slightly wider than the bed itself, the legs and the board were able to be moved at will. My knees were bent up, splayed. The globe of Katherine's knickered bottom brushed the tip of my nose. It descended. In a darkness of bliss it squashed upon my mouth, my eyes, my face.
