there was hardly anything forbidden about it. Everyone knewthe Orienter could use whatever means she deemed suitable to prepare a royal daughter for her marriage bed. Even so, the pulse of excitement throbbing in Maven’scunt increased wildly as she looked at the three strapping young men and began anticipating what was about to happen.
“You know Anglen, Ragan and Donnell,” Lavonia said.
Certainly she did. She’d just never before realized how attractive she found them. Anglen sported sandy blond hair and a rugged look—he worked in her father’s stables. Ragan was darker in both hair and complexion, with a lean but muscular build, and Donnell possessed a long brown mane, lengthier than the hair of most men, pulled back in a tail at his nape. The first two boys were among the ranks of her father’s army, beingtrained to lead his forces should Caralon ever come under attack—the latter served as a
fortress guard.
Without planning, Maven let her eyes drop from the young men’s faces to their crotches, where she spied the bulges she remembered seeing on men before. Her pussy spasmed with fresh curiosity.
“Should you wish to touch yourself in any fashion while we demonstrate—” Lavonia said, drawing Maven’s gaze back to her, “—feel free. Although you’ve been taught to suppress your urges, the time for that is nearly past. It’s important that you learn to embrace those urges now.”
Maven only nodded, beginning to feel a bit entranced, as if she’d been transported to some other place and time. In one sense, it was all happening too fast—her betrothal to a barbarian and now this , her maid preparing to…what was the word? Fuck, yes, that was it. Her maid was preparing to fuck three of her father’s young men right here in her room while she watched! On the other hand, though, it felt as if a new energy, a raw power unlike any sensation she’d ever known, was gathering in her middle—as if Lavonia was right and the time for innocence was done. Despite herself, she burned to see the boys’ cocks, burned to see every intimate part of this act between man and
woman.
As if reading her mind, Lavonia dropped to her knees before the broad-shouldered Anglen and began working at the lacing of his pants. A moment later, she parted the leather and the crisscrossed cording to reveal—oh my! What a peculiar-looking appendage!
Maven bit her lip, studying it. Lavonia had described it as a rod, and that it was, butstill… Maven couldn’t have envisioned the odd feelings of hunger she experienced at

the sight. Anglen’s shaft seemed to grow even longer as the maid’s hand closed around it. The whole length looked flushed with heat as Anglen drew in his breath, his expression instantly reminding Maven of the strange pleasure-pain she’d discussed with Lavonia.
“This is a cock,” Lavonia said, turning to Maven while running her fingertips gingerly down the front of the pole-like protrusion. “Lovely, isn’t it?”
Oddly, Maven agreed, although she couldn’t understand quite why. She moved on to something that suddenly seemed more important than its appearance. “This is to go inside me?”
Lavonia let out a cackling laugh. “No, my dear, this is to go inside me .” She shifted her gaze upward to Anglen, her voice going low and husky. “Very soon, my handsomeboy. Very soon.”
“But I mean—” Maven persisted, “—my husband’s cock…” She grimaced then, remembering Dane of Rawley, and concluded with a profound sigh.
“Yes, your husband’s cock will enter your pussy.”
“But…how? It’s so large.”
Lavonia chuckled. “If the rumors are true, Dane’s cock is even larger and more majestic than this.” She glanced upward again. “No offense, dear boy.” Then she looked back to Maven. “But as you will soon see,
