Pearls Before Wine (MC, Fdom, preg)

By Deedee and Homer Vargas [vargas111@yahoo.com]



"The invading army of a small Queendom gets a

pleasant surprise."

PEARLS BEFORE WINE

Queen Fanuta smiled wryly as she looked up from the

parchment in her hand. The messenger who brought it

offered to interpret it into her language, but she

had no need of translation. She read and spoke

Corthon almost as well as she did her own Nurian. Her

mother who had been Queen before her had seen to that

by giving her the son of her Corthon slave, one of

her many lovers, as her playmate and later as her own

first boy. "Our neighbors to the North are ambitious,

my dear. One day they may come calling. I want thee

want to give them a 'proper' reception." The

carefully scripted words on parchment indicated that

day she and her people had been preparing for had now

arrived. She re-read the brief document.

*

Honored Fanuta, Queen of the Nurians. Hail!

Marius Portius, Emperor of Cortho sends thee

greetings.

Fame of the richness and splendor of thy realm,

Nuria, has spread far beyond thy frontiers. It has

come to my Imperial Knowledge that many enemies covet

the prize of thy land. I, Marius Portius offer thee

the protective embrace of Cortho. Within the fold of

my Empire, Nuria would be safe from the predators

which round about her compass as wolves about the

defenseless lamb. Thy ascent to our gracious offer

cannot be doubted. In three days my armies will be at

thy frontiers. In three more, at thy gates.

Open then, the gates of Nuria to Cortho, as a maiden

to her betrothed. Make ready a banquet for the

nuptials of our kingdoms.

Hail!

Ah! The insolence of the Corthon Emperor! "Safe from

predators?" Indeed! The lamb that has been eaten need

fear the wolf no more. "The nuptials?" Speak clearly,

Marius! Thou meanest the subjugation of Nuria, our

absorption as yet another province of the Corthon

Empire, another source of gold and women. "No,

Marius," she smiled. "Nuria will not be an appendage

to thy Empire. Nuria will fight thee, nay, vanquish

thee as we did the Thrussians and the Sirtaphs before

thee," she smiled, "and thou wiltst never know the

battle has already begun."

Fanuta clapped her hands. "Run, Rini," she said to

her serving girl, "call the High Priestess Dolphia

and the other priestess from the Goddess's temple. I

would see them in council." They had six days to

prepare a banquet. More than enough for a night

Marius and his men would never remember!

*

"Everything will be done, My Queen, even as thou hast

spoken," Dolphia smiled confidently. "One of my

priestess will be at each officer's side to lighten

his heart. The praetorians will be similarly

entertained. I will accompany mighty Aldos the

Strategeon. And of course Marius Portius is thine, My

Queen."

"What of the lesser officers and men who will not be

at the banquet?" Fanuta asked.

"The women of the city have been informed, My Queen,

and are more than equal to that pleasant chore,"

Dolphia chuckled. "After all, we keep our husbands

and brothers happily tamed and they KNOW our wiles. A

few thousand foreign soldiers will be in no mood to

be troublesome that night, even without the Zuma we

will infuse in their officers' wine."

"The Zuma, have we enough?" Fanuta inquired.

"Enough and to spare," spoke up Munira, Dolphia's

deputy. "The women of Azunia were so grateful for our

assistance in putting down the revolt of their men

that they have supplied us with seventeen cartloads

of the finest leaf. Thy temple priestesses even now

are extracting the essence in abundance. In two days

hence we shall have enough Zuma to tame several

barbarian armies," the young woman concluded proudly.

Gassara stepped forward scowling. Towering over the

priestess and even the Queen, the Captain of the

guard commanded respect. "Do not underestimate these

barbarians, my sisters. They are not like the soft

and weak-minded Nurian men. Their custom is to take

pleasure from women, not allow themselves to be

pleasured. And my spies tell me of a custom that

makes them not so easy prey. Corthon men refuse to

drink from a woman's self. Nor will they take a

nipple into the mouth. They believe this to be

penetration by the woman and that a man must never be

penetrated. So, my sisters, ye shall not be able to

drug them with the Zuma-rich fluids of your sex,"

Gassara concluded.

"This is grave news, My Queen," spoke Dolphia. "The

Zuma in wine makes a man's mind soft and open to a

woman's words, but only his worship at her temple

makes him fully her own."

"Fear not, my sisters," Fanuta replied. "These

Corthons have never met women like ye. What a man

thinks and believes in the cool bright air of Cortho,

may be very different in the warm thick vapors of a

Nurian bedchamber. Somehow I doubt they will know the

difference between taking their pleasure and merely

receiving it, when ye make their semen to boil up

inside ye. As for the city women, give each a pitcher

of wine for her "guest." It will do our work even

though the woman understand not the power of Zuma. Go

now and adorn yourselves, my lovelies. Let us make

our visitors glad they have come before they regret

it -- if they ever do," she added, to the gathered

women's giggles.

*

Dressed in the finest of diaphanous silks that hid

nothing of her full breasts and large dark nipples,

queen Fanuta watched the triumphant entrance of

Marius and his officer into the palace precincts.

Siting proudly upright she faced the Emperor as he

slowly approached her portable throne. Her eyes fell

on his narrow hips and broad shoulders. Glancing over

at Dolphia, she smiled, wondering if the High

priestess was making a similar appraisal of the

rugged Strategeon. She could not refrain from

comparing these beautiful specimens of males to the

nobles of her court. She noticed Marius's large

powerful hands and feet. "Large feet, large ..." she

mused. None of the men in her kingdom, delightful as

they were with their practiced worship, measured up.

Before handing the realm over to her, Fanuta's mother

had insisted she should produce a daughter as heir as

soon as possible, but Fanuta dreaded allowing herself

to be made fat with the child of an effete son of one

of the scheming baronesses who coveted her crown.

Least of all Utafi.

"This light-skinned barbarian may serve me in other

ways as well," she caught herself thinking. "And my

priestesses." Fanuta knew that Dolphia's and Munira's

almost constant night play was more frustration with

their pretty-boy mates than real predilection for

women on their part. Indeed, the extended visit of

the barbarian army could be "very fruitful." Rising

to meet him, Fanuta was aware of a growing wetness

between her legs.

"... In sum, My Lord Emperor, I, Fanuta of Nuria

welcome thee and thy men to our city. Even thought we

cannot conclude any treaty or high business of state

with ye during Thirteenth Moon Festival, we wish ye

to remain as our guests throughout the celebrations.

In honor of the happy visit of thy Imperial Majesty

we offer ye the toast of "Pearls before Wine." Hail!

At her word, the woman at each officer's side reached

to her necklace and quickly removed one of the many

pearls that adorned her neck. Fanuta did the same and

before the astonished eyes of Marius dropped the

shining pearl into his wine flagon as did all the

other women. "What hast thou done, Queen Fanuta?"

Marius asked. "The pearls will dissolve in the wine;

their beauty lost to the world for ever."

"Not lost, My Lord Emperor, transformed into thy

further glory and of thy warriors," she replied. "And

to cover the first taste of the Zuma," she discretely

refrained from adding. After a few droughts, the

tongue no longer detected the bitterness of the

essence. "Now let the banquet begin!" Fanuta smiled,

raising her goblet in toast.

The feast proceeded as planned with platter after

platter of delicacies, the flesh of exotic animals,

fruits unknown in Cortho's colder climes, seafood

from Nuria's southern coasts. Each dish was prepared

with just a little more spice than necessary and

Marius and his men partook liberally of the wine that

never ran short. If they had been more attentive,

they would have noticed that their flagons were

refilled from different pitchers than those of their

smiling tablemates.

But the men's attention was already elsewhere. Except

for campfollowers, none of the men had been with a

woman in weeks, certainly none like the exotic

beauties now at their side: high cheekbones, gleaming

ebony-smooth skin, hair that hung in hundred of tiny

plaits interwoven with silver and copper-hue threads.

The eyes of the men were assaulted with images of

voluptuous black bodies, breasts that pushed against

the flimsy upper body ties, bare waspish waists, and

ample womanly hips.

"The hospitality of Thy Highness surpasses even the

fame of thy beauty," Marius said and he toasted

Fanuta yet again.

"My Lord is too kind to the Queen of a small people,"

Fanuta replied with downcast eyes, but she read in

Marius's gaze more that mere flattery. He was

smitten. As well he should be. Her garment was of

sheerest silk and wound so as to display her dark

breasts. After the first goblet of wine, his eyes

seldom traveled far from them except to gaze deeply

into her dark eyes. Fanuta noticed a massive bulge

beginning to show itself beneath his tunic. That was

good; she had plans for it. By the time she finished

softening it, Marius would have taken the first steps

to his eventual enslavement.

It had been a day of surprises for the tired Emperor.

Fanuta smiled, remembering her powerful visitor's

amazement when he first saw her. Apparently, his

intelligence had not informed him to expect a woman

of her age and with her beauty -- and black! Nor was

he prepared to be greeted in capitaline Corthon

without the whistled "s" that betrayed his own

provincial origin. The luxury of the banquet brought

further amazement and she watched with amusement as

Marius's face reflected the gradual shift from

arrogance to mere contempt, to acceptance, to

admiration, and now fascination with his scantily

clad hostess.

As the night wore on, a large torchfire was lighted

in the center of the couches. Marius and his men

reclined around the circle and pretty, flirty serving

girls continued to bring around plates of food and

flagons of wine. The torch burned down and a pounding

drumbeat was gradually growing louder. The serving

women were now bringing more drink than food and

their clothing had grown skimpier. Large unencumbered

breasts were dangled in front of the men's eyes as

the women leaned down to refill their drinks. The

loincloths barely covered their provocative little

pussies. And when a girl stood close enough to a

seated man, he couldn't avoid smelling a cunt in

heat.

Fanuta saw her women tittle and whisper to their

delighted guests, making sure their wineglasses

remained filled. The men grew tipsy and boisterous as

their tablemates teased them. Seeing that all was in

readiness, she gave the signal. Suddenly silence

welled up like a cobra rising from its basket. At the

sound of a gong, each man's companion leapt into the

circle and positioned herself, one in front of each

man. Talking, laughing, and ribald remarks ceased as

a temple priestess began to writhe slowly before each

man, her movements in time with the imperceptibly

accelerating drum.

The officers were riveted by the swaying of the

women's hips and bouncing breasts, none more than

Marius himself by Fanuta. She was taller and heavier

and a little older than the others. But what she

lacked in youth, she made up in a sultry sexiness.

Like the others, she had a bright silver disk

dangling from her neck in from of her large round

tits. Marius could not take his eyes off of those

tits and so he stared too, at the shining, flashing

disk.

As the dance accelerated, each woman inched closer to

her prey, forcing him to look up at an uncomfortable

angle at those wonderfully round, bouncing boobs.

The drum was louder now, as well as faster, and

filled the ears of the transfixed men as the flashing

disks filled their eyes. Slowly, Marius and his men

were falling into the power of the Queen and her

court. The men were being "tamed!"

Now the drum grew still louder and the rhythm more

frenetic. The dancers ground their hips in the faces

of the men. Their stares became glassy, their bright

blue eyes growing dim. Equally noticeable were their

hands. Quite unconsciously, the men had begun to

slowly stoke their rigid cocks. Suddenly the drum and

the dancers stopped. The men hardly reacted, so deep

was the spell they were under. Perfect!

Yet Fanuta noticed a bit of light creep back into

Marius's gaze. He was a strong man, a willful man,

not an easy man to "tame," by the looks of it.

Slowly, as if waking from a dream, he began to look

around him. The other dancers had fallen on his

entranced comrades. Even Aldos was lying cradled in

the arms of the busty Dolphia, placidly nursing her

breast, his eyes closed in a docile, beatific smile

as she stroked his face. His own aide-de-camp's head

was thrown back as he sucked the pussy of Munira who

kneeled over him, slowly jacking him off. Two others

-- Marius couldn't see who in the dim torchlight --

were lying with their tunics up around their waists,

their heads lolling, as two smirking women

methodically rode them toward orgasm.

Like a lonely, cornered animal, Marius instinctively

sensed the danger and poised for fight or flight.

Fanuta looked down at him and saw his partially

successful efforts to throw off the spell. Her

nostrils flared to think of the powerful mind as well

as body that soon would be hers. Immediately, she

stepped forward, dropped her skirt, and thrust her

crotch in his face. The scent of a hot pussy must

have hit Marius with the force of an assagai. She

watched Marius fighting the powerful aroma of her

rank, dripping love slit. Marius was no longer

looking around at his vanquished followers; he was

staring straight ahead, straight at the wet, bushy

cunt in front of his eyes. Fanuta was looking down at

the big man, aroused but amused. She could see him

weakening; subject to the one instinct she knew that

could overcome the anger leading to resistance, the

fear leading to flight: lust.

In a desperate effort as if to ward off the

enchantment, Marius brought up his hands, just about

high enough to shield his eyes from the bewitching

sight before him, enough perhaps to push away the

tempting vision that held him fast. He stretched

forth his hand and -- with a lunge, grabbed Fanuta's

ass and buried his face in her warm snatch.

A kind of cheer went up from the watching women as

the barbarian leader went down to defeat. The Queen

allowed the slavering man to fill his mouth and nose

with her lust inducing juices for long seconds, then

dropped them both to the couch placed nearby for that

purpose. As Marius lost himself between those plump,

delectable thighs, nimble fingers removed his clothes

and the Queen began stoking his hardened prick.

*

At an early-morning meeting of her Council, Fanuta

looked around at six contented, if somewhat tired and

disheveled women around the mahogany table. "Did all

go as well as your faces tell me?" Fanuta asked.

"Indeed, My Queen," reported Dolphia. "The men are

all still sleeping. A whisperer is with each filling

his mind with lustful thoughts. She has at hand a

sleeping potion if her charge should stir. Not one

will not leave our beds until he is our slave."

"No, Dolphia. I do not desire them to be taken thus.

If our foreign guests disappear into our palace to

quickly, the remaining troops may become restless.

Remember, our sisters in the city can only entertain

the army. They are not skilled in the use of Zuma and

we cannot let them use it in the powerful mixtures as

we do. It can be many months before the soldiers are

so besotted with Zuma and soft bodies as no longer to

prove dangerous to us."

"What then wouldst thou have us do, My Queen?"

Dolphia frowned. "Our spell upon them is well begun.

Shall we now allow our captives to slip from between

our fingers -- and our thighs?" Dolphia added with a

chuckle.

"Nay, my clever minions," Fanuta replied with a

smile. "Our new foreign friends will not escape from

your skilled hands or your lusty loins. It is a

foolish fisherman who pulls hard on the line when the

fish has just begun to nibble. Play with your fish

until your hook is deep into his mind. For now allow

him to awake each morning with memories of a night of

unspeakably intense sex. I trust ye had no difficulty

with that 'chore.'"

"It is even as thou sayest!" Munira blurted out

causing the older women to giggle at her enthusiasm.

"Lucas may be a barbarian, but he is skilled in

wielding his manly weapon. I have never passed such a

night before. He brought me unto a woman's pleasure

nigh unto a dozen times."

"'Lucas' is it?" Fanuta teased her young companion.

"Methinks were it not for the Zuma in the drink of

the Emperor's aide-de-camp, thou wouldst be in HIS

thrall." Munira blushed and the other women tittered

before Fanuta continued. "'Tis well, Munira. Cortho

is our enemy, not Lucas. Take thy pleasure from the

youth, Munira. Thy sisters did the same. Their

quarters are not so far from mind that I did not hear

THEIR cries last night." Fanuta looked around

grinning at the other women whose embarrassed silence

confirmed her words. "I did even so with the Emperor.

His weapon is long and thick, but fortunately I have

a sheath that is the equal of it." All the women

smiled and nodded.

"We want our guests to tarry long with us. Let's make

their stay here a pleasant one. I shortly will be

awakening the Emperor Marius with a delightful

surprise. Do ye likewise. Later today I shall be

showing him the sights of our beautiful city. But I

do not doubt he will wish to share my bed again

tonight. In fact I suspect he will not wish to wait

that long to drink again from my womanhood and allow

me to melt the steel of his weapon in my furnace. If

anyone should venture to the Generalife gardens about

dusk this evening," she grinned, "please do not let

thyself be seen."

*

Fanuta judged well when her captive would awaken and

she was at his side when his eyes fluttered open.

"What...? Where... Oh, my head!" Marius moaned. Then

he saw the beautiful young black woman smiling down

at him.

"Good morning, My Lord, the Emperor," Fanuta smiled

and kissed him softly on the lips.

"OH, my head!" the Emperor moaned. "What? What

happened?

"I fear thou didst partake too liberally of our

Nurian wine. As for later ... Surely My Lord has not

forgotten last night. I never shall! My Lord was

magnificent!" Fanuta's flattery was purposeful, but

not insincere. She had indeed come many times on the

barbarian's thick cock. The Zuma weakened only his

will; it fortified and stimulated his body. "Thou

didst slay me with thy spear and gladly was I slain!

Never has any man filled me as didst Thou. Aye! My

Lord!" she gasped, her eyes widening in partial

surprise, "I scarce can believe my eyes! Thy weapon

is again ready for battle."

Marius winced at her words. Fanuta knew he was well

aware of his erection, an inevitable result of seeing

her firm breast just inches before him. Aware, but

not pleased at that moment. As his large penis

throbbed to life, so his head throbbed with pain. He

moaned again, partly with arousal, partly the ache in

his forehead. "I feel thy pain, My Lord. Here, take

this potion; it will assuage thy torment."

Marius shook his head, "'Tis nothing,"

Fanuta smiled and persisted, pressing a goblet she

had prepared to his lips. It was sweet to his tongue

and he drank. "Yes, My Lord, drink it all. It will

cause thee to sleep and thy pain to cease."

"Sleep again? But I have just awakened. The day is

well begun. My officials will expect me at noon for

Council," Marius protested.

"Ah my brave, noble Lord," Fanuta smiled. "Do not

concern thyself for them. Thou didst not battle alone

last nigh. I heard Aldos slay Dolphia many times,

last not long before dawn. The Council can wait."

"Nay, Queen Fanuta. Duty is everything for a Corthon.

We cannot allow the weakness of the flesh to deflect

us from our appointed tasks."

"It is as I feared, My Lord. Thy strong will is

preventing the potion from giving thee its balm. Rest

thy head on my bosom and I will make thee to sleep."

"I must ... not" Marius replied, struggling not to

pillow his head on the Queen's perfect breasts.

Fanuta could see the potion beginning to make his

eyes heavy. It was time to take him one step further.

"My Lord, it is thy weapon, drawn and ready for

battle that does not allow the to sleep. Let us

battle again as we did last night, thy sword and my

sheath. Gladly would I have thee conquer me again!"

And before the drowsy and aroused Emperor could

react, Fanuta had straddled him and positioned her

moist cunt lips at the tip of Marius's engorged cock.

"The sheath of thy sword awaits thee, My Lord."

"Fanuta! No! This cannot be! A Corthon man never

allows a woman to ..." A gasp cut short his words and

Fanuta lowered herself over the helpless man's stiff

cock. Slowly as first she began to ride him.

"Speak no more, My Lord. Let me ease thy pain. Aye,

Thy manhood dost please me mightily. Yea, My Lord,

thrust deep and I will please thee, too. Deep, My

Lord, my sleepy Lord. Loose the hold on thy body, My

Lord. Let me take thee deep. Release thyself into me,

My Lord, deep into me, deeper and thou wilst sleep.

Release, My Lord and sleep. Release ...release

...RELEASE!"

Fanuta had felt his orgasm building and his

consciousness sunk beneath her whispered words. With

a final twist of her shapely hips and a clinching of

her cunt muscles she triggered his climax.

Surprisingly, the flood of his hot seed released an

irresistible warmth within her and she collapsed on

his hairy heaving chest. It was several long moments

before she was again in control of herself, but no

harm was done. The Emperor was safely entranced a

faint smile on his face. Amazingly, his thick cock

was only now deflating. Fanuta let herself relax a

few more minutes in the Emperor's strong, though now

limp, arms. She was aware that his penis still dammed

up her pussy, not allowing his thick sperm to drain

out of her. It was a pleasant sensation and stirred a

feeling of tenderness for her imperial captive.

Her pussy twitched at the thought of what could

result if they continued to "battle" thus if she were

incautious. Since she had become a woman, her mother

had taught her to drink a potion of Mea every morning

on three weeks of each four. "Do so and THOU canst

decide when and with whom to have a child, not thy

need for a man's organ," her mother had advised with

a knowing smile. Fanuta had done so as did most of

the elite of the Nurian women. Now she was beginning

to wonder if after twenty-five springs, if the time

was not approaching to put in practice the other part

of her mother's advice.

*

The treaty as accession was to be signed on the first

day of the month after the New Moon festival. The

rains had ceased, yet the harsh dry heat of summer

had not yet come upon the land. The sun shone merely

warm on the lush landscape around them. The treaty

was being signed on the portico of the temple of the

Goddess overlooking the newly whitewashed city below

and the green valley beyond. Originally scheduled for

the fourth hour, the ceremony had to be postponed

until noon, as Marius and his men had greater

difficulty than usual in arising from the soft beds

and softer arms in which they slept.

Now all was in readiness as Queen Fanuta and her

council of priestesses met Marius and his council of

warriors. An official of Corthon palace protocol

would have been surprise that rather than sitting on

opposite sides of the long table, Corthons and

Nurians sat side by side. Yet is seemed quite

appropriates to the participants, who only an hour or

so earlier had been entwined in each other's arms.

The formal toasts over, Marius arose to speak. Fanuta

smiled reflecting that unlike the banquet a month

ago, no pearls were needed to disguise the Zuma in

the wine. The men no longer noticed the drug and

indeed, would have felt quite uncomfortable were it

not supplied. "Queen Fanuta," Marius said, trying to

sound severe with the woman whose bed he had so

recently shared. "There appear to be some changes in

the treaty. It was carefully considered by the

Corthon Senate and drafted by our lawyers."

"Aye, My Lord. I asked that a few clarifying words be

added in the spirit of thy invitation to join the

Corthon Empire. Thou didst ask us to 'open our gates

as a maiden does to her betrothed.' I believe My Lord

will agree that we have opened more than our gates."

The men looked embarrassed as the women at their side

snuggled closer.

"But this treaty states that no legions, save the

Emperor's guard will be posted in thy land," Marius

pointed out.

"True, My Lord. Now that we are wedded to the Empire,

no enemy will dare attack. Thy legions will be freed

to defend thy northern marches. We can deal with

raiders as always."

"Aye, My Queen, but internal order?"

"Does the bridegroom send armed servants to watch

over his bride, My Lord? I dared hope My Lord would

do his own watching." Marius was not sure if it was

and accident, but at that moment his eyes fell on

Fanuta's ample breast and he could not suppress a

noticeable stiffing of his prick.

"But my Queen, soon I will return to Cortho. Business

in the capital demands it."

"Speak not of departure, My Lord. The marriage of

Nuria to Cortho is but consummated and the honeymoon

is not yet begun. Stay yet the season. Surely thou

dost not wish to return to Cortho just as the cold

rains and bitter winds of the North sweep thy

capital."

"But the Senate will be expecting a report and the

first tribute."

"Report the plain truth; the capital is wherever the

Emperor lays his head. Do not thy own laws say thus?

As for gifts, My Lord, with thy permission, I shall

send each Senator, Tribune, Praetor, and Pontifex the

finest fruit of our land, a Nurian maiden for to wife

with a rich dowry." Fanuta smiled at her words. Yes,

the Nurian women would take dowries that included

many large flasks of Zuma essence. Perhaps next year

when their new wives became homesick for their native

land, a goodly number of Senators and other high

officials would join their emperor in Cortho's new

Southern capital.

At each clever reply, Fanuta saw the Zuma-addled

heads of the Corthons nod ascent. "Set thy had to the

treaty, My Lord, and let the marriage celebrations

begin." She smiled over that the Emperor who was

gazing at her almost in adoration. As she placed a

quill in his hand her other hand found his manhood

beneath his tunic and gently squeezed. Marius's

doubts and objections floated away. He certainly did

not want to feel the miserable cold of a Corthon

winter. Less did he wish to leave the bed of this

delightful woman who filled his nights and days with

pleasure beyond his previous imaginings. Carefully

appended the initials to the document -

C. I. M: Corthun Imperator Marius.

The heat of the dry season arrived making it

difficult for Marius to conduct Imperial business

around mid-day. Not that he conducted very much at

other times. Marius held Imperial court personally

only during mornings, mornings that grew shorter and

shorter as the Emperor, exhausted by long, vigorous

sessions of lovemaking with Fanuta, arose later and

later. Marius was introduced to the delightful custom

of siesta after the mid-day meal, a custom made more

delightful still by Fanuta's company in bed. He took

his meals with Fanuta and so it was quite convenient

for her to lead him to her bedchamber. There beneath

pukahs moved by beautiful servant girls Fanuta let

his suckle her breasts until he was moaning with

arousal and the send him to sleep by riding him to a

volcanic climax that left him almost comatose.

Marius did not realize it, but more and more Imperial

affairs were transacted in his name by Fanuta and her

court. She now wore the imperial Signet. It had been

thus since the arrival of the Santhian Ambassador.

News had reached Marius in Fanuta's chamber just

after a long slow siesta fuck that, as usual, had

left the Emperor quite drowsy. Fanuta gave his

eyelids a little kiss and offered to attend to the

matter. It had not seemed proper, but Marius was just

too sleepy to refuse his lively young bedmate, who

slipped off his ring and scurried to great the

visiting dignitary. Marius never remembered to ask

that she return it. A couple of times he started to

speak about it, but Fanuta was feeling amorous and

soon the Emperor was on his getting a marvelous fuck.

As Fanuta spent more and more time on Imperial

business, she introduced Marius to her servants to

keep him sated and happy. His vanity stroked by being

told he was "too much man for one woman," Marius

accepted them into his bed during the long

afternoons. It was difficult to satisfy so many

pretty women, but he tried.

As the summer drought burned the landscape to dull

brown, a challenge arose. The wild tribes of Zaria in

the West were causing increasing trouble. A decisive

blow was called for, but Fanuta did not wish to rouse

the Emperor from the lethargy she had crafted. The

danger, she decided, could become an opportunity and

set a plan in motion. Several weeks later a messenger

reached the palace with news from the frontier and

Fanuta was summoned. Leaving the Emperor in the post

coital bliss of an early morning ride, she rose and

persuaded the messenger that he should refresh

himself before delivering the message to the Emperor.

The young man's "refreshment" in the arms of two

temple priestesses gave Fanuta time to complete

preparations.

She arranged for the messenger, exhausted by the

priestesses, to stumble into the imperial chambers

just after the Emperor had come most satisfyingly in

his royal lover's warm wet pussy.

"Grave news, sire! The Zarians have attacked Quoma.

The Nurian defenders fled and the women were taken

away." Fanuta smiled secretly. The Zarians had taken

the bait. A few years with Nurian wives would tame

the tribe, but meanwhile for form's sake, they must

be chastised.

"Villainy!" roared the Emperor, trying to arise from

the couch. Guards! Bring my armor. <gasp> Bring my

sword." The unaccustomed exertion told on the Emperor

who was growing flabby from too much food, wine, and

sleepy lovemaking.

"Do not concern thyself with the Zarian raiders, My

Lord," Fanuta smiled and pushed another goblet of

wine into Marius's limp hand. "I shall deal with

these swine in thy name. Thou hast more important

matters to attend."

"My Queen, it is not meet that thou shouldst deal

with affairs of state while I remain always within

the palace. Of what 'more important matters' dost

thou speak?"

"The most important matter of all, My Lord," Fanuta

smiled. "I have brought thee the daughter of a

powerful prince and if I err not, she is ripe this

night for thy potent seed."

"What? Thou wouldst that I remain behind to bed a

foreign wench while thou leadest our soldiers into

battle?"

"The woman is Mai-te, from the Chen, My Lord. Make

her womb swell with thy child, and another kingdom

will be mine, er, thine."

"Can I not service her another day? I would smash

these insolent Zarians with mine own strong hand!"

"Strong it is, My Lord, but stronger still the weapon

thou wieldest here, in thy loins! Lo, I feel it stir

mightily!" the wily woman said, placing her hand on

Marius's cock.

"Fa -nu -ta!" he groaned.

"Yeah, My Lord, the sword of thy strength is ready.

Plunge it into her belly and make her thine." The

Queen clapped three times and two serving girls led

in a tall dark beauty with almond eyes, fighting to

break free. "Look on her My Lord. See the proud

breasts, breasts that thou wilst make heavy with milk

to give suckle to thine offspring. See the wide hips

that shall bear thy child. Is she not comely? Aye!

Thy sword leapeth in mine hand."

"But is this not the one brought in chains, but days

ago? Did she not cry aloud that she would never

consent to be my concubine?" Marius asked, unable to

take his eyes from the gorgeous woman.

"Indeed she is, My Lord, but she is but a woman. Her

mind is weak and her body is susceptible to the

potions and philters of thy priestesses and

enchantresses. She has been with them for these days.

Now she burns with lust for thee. Even now her temple

weeps with the joyful anticipation of thy manhood.

Lie with her until the new moon and thy seed will

find its fertile field. Her belly will grow fat with

the fruit of thy loins."

"But Fanuta, Th-The..." he swallowed as his eyes

feasted on the scarcely clad maiden in front of him,

unable to formulate his sentence.

"Zarian raiders?" Fanuta finished his implied

question. "My Lord, surely thou wilts not let this

beautiful flower wither on account of a few Zarians

who are foolish enough to defy thee." The queen

lifted one of the thin veils that barely hid the

young woman's charms. Her olive skin contrasted with

the alabaster thighs of her imperial captive.

"My Lord, thy humble servant will deal with and rid

us of this Zarian nuisance. Thy kingdom and thy

people need the issues of thy potent loins to remain

strong." With a tap of her hand, she made the

writhing young woman spread her thighs a little.

"Behold My Lord, this ready vessel. The high

priestess assures us she has never born fruit. At Thy

command my serving girls will ready her that thou

mightest pour her full of thy potent liquor.

"But how knowest, my Queen, that the time draweth

nigh for conception? Perchance we shall return and

she be yet ready."

"Ah, my proud Lord! I am a woman and I know the signs

of a woman's body when it crieth out for child, but

verily, I pray thee, prove my words."

Fanuta nodded to the woman. "Shew thy readiness to My

Lord, wench!" she commanded.

The servants released the writhing girl and Marius

suddenly realized her struggles had not been to

escape, but to fling herself on HIM. In a twinkling,

she had flown to the couch where Marius reclined and

had thrust her pussy into his face. Without thinking

Marius drew her to him and began to lick the copious

fluids that leaked from her vagina.

Fanuta smiled as she saw Marius loose himself between

the young woman's ample thighs. "Taste and prove, but

carefully, My Lord, lest the potions she has been

given affect thee, too. Do not drink too deeply of

her flowing fount or the desire to breed will

overtake thee as it has her." Even as Marius ate the

aroused woman, Fanuta was slowly stoking him. "Aye!

"Thy sword is drawn and ready. My Lord is too

generous to his concubine, to pleasure her in this

way. Wouldst My Lord make her come with thy powerful

tongue? Lo! A woman's pleasure is upon her! Her cup

overfloweth. Drink it not My Lord!"

The Emperor's enchantment was too deep to heed

Fanuta's ironic warning. As the woman's cum squirted

onto the helpless man's face, the crafty Fanuta she

gave his cock a final jerk and made him erupt into

her hand. "Ah, My Lord, my generous Lord! Thou hast

spent thyself giving pleasure to this foreign woman.

Even if thou willest, thou canst not now accompany

thy troops as we smite the Zarians. I perceive that

slumber overtaketh thee. Thy concubine is similarly

spent. Sleep with her, My Lord. Take her this night

and every night 'til my return. Fill her with thy

efficacious seed and make her grow heavy with thy

child."

Marius looked up at Fanuta through sated eyes, almost

pleading. "Do not speak My Sweet Lord. I know thy

eyes grow heavy. Thou wilst sleep and I will go. And

when I return, the woman will shew forth the fullness

of thy handiwork. Thou wilst breed her well, My Lord.

But now thou must sleep. Sleep deeply, My Lord. Thine

eyes close softly. Thy thoughts are scattered and

drift away from thee. Sleep, My Lord. Sleep."

Fanuta smiled again as the woman gathered Marius's

head to her breasts and he began to suck softly. The

woman looked up at Fanuta who winked. This clever

foreign prostitute Fanuta had procured would keep the

silly man happily occupied for the next several

weeks, she thought. Several more weeks of drinking

her drugged wine and eating her potion-laced food

would keep her imperial "guest" too drowsy and horny

to think about anything but this and other nubile

women in the harem Fanuta had carefully assembled for

him. Each was an enchantress in her own right,

skilled in enflaming the lust of any man and using

that lust to keep his will soft and pliable. Fanuta

herself had taught Marius to allow a woman to mount

him, pacify him with her pussy and draw forth his

sperm, sating him with sleepy pleasure. As Marius lay

abed letting one woman after another drain and

enervate him with pleasure, Fanuta would gather the

reins of power to herself. Soon the Empire would be

hers alone! Just one more thing was needed.

*

Several weeks later it was a self-satisfied Fanuta

who presided over the Great Council. One after

another the reports had all been favorable. The

Zarians had been chased back over the border feeling

lucky the Nuri-Crothon troops had not pursued them to

recover the abducted women. She imagined what kind of

homecoming the Nurian women had prepared. Nothing

more would be heard from Zaria raiders; that was

sure.

Messages had arrived telling of the success of the

Nurian maidens sent to Cortho. Each had quickly

become a cherished favorite of her new husband

without raising the ire of the first wife. As the

Zuma increased the stamina as well as the

malleability of the Corthon men, the first wives

found they were getting fucked better and more often

than before the Nurian girl arrived. The Senate

hardly met any more; with two horny women at home,

Senators had better things to do. In most households

both the Nurian and the Corthon wife were pregnant.

The Corthon foot soldiers were being rapidly absorbed

as second husbands for the women in the environs of

the capital, although some of the city women sent

their former mates back to their elder sisters,

preferring the imported to the domestic product. Most

of the Corthons had been farmers before being forced

into the army and would probably have been quite

happy to stay even if without having a woman who

wanted to fuck two or three times a day.

Surprisingly, the Corthons were able to introduce

several new crops and farming techniques that meant

greater agricultural output. The extra food would be

quite welcome as most of the Nurians with new Corthon

husbands were now found with child.

As Marius, Aldos and the other Corthon officials lost

interest in matters of state -- for months their

sleeping ears had been filled by whisperers making

them forget such things -- their captors encouraged

them to become more physically active. Fanuta and the

other women enjoyed going to the stadium and watch

their men wrestle, sprint, broad jump, throw javelins

and shoot bows, each cheering excitedly for her

bedmate. Fanuta was pleased that her Marius was

seldom bested except by Aldos, and that only in

wrestling, where the Strategeon's greater bulk made

him invincible.

"In sum, Nuria had never been more prosperous or more

secure. Nuria is, to all intents and purposes, the

capital of an Empire that is Corthon only in name.

The minnow has swallowed the frog. There is but one

thing more that we can do to seal our place at the

head of the Empire. I, myself, have already taken

this final step," the Queen stated proudly. "The

choice is yours, but for several weeks *I* no longer

partake the daily draught of Mea."

A little titter went around the table. "I may have

softened and blunted the Emperor's will, but I can

report that his sword remains rigid and sharp," the

Queen announced with a little smirk. "About the time

of next Thirteenth Moon Festive, I will bear the

Emperor's child!"

Fanuta paused and looked around; then she frowned.

She was expecting a reaction: surprise, jubilation,

outrage; instead Council appeared merely pleased.

Dolphia saw the Queen's consternation and smiled. "We

share thy joy, My Queen, but not thy caution."

"My caution? Why I have allowed the Emperor..."

"We well know what thou hast allowed the Emperor,"

the High Priestess smirked. "But thou art not the

first."

"What?"

"My Queen, I am with child since the night of the

treaty ceremony, although Aldos does not yet know

it," Dolphia announced.

"Lucas and I are expecting before the rains resume.

Behold!" Munira stood, lifted her short tunic and

displayed to everyone the first signs of her

delightful bulge. "I wanted his child from the first

night I made him lie with me."

One by one the other Council members nodded and

rubbed their bellies. "Even I, My Queen," Gassara

smiled at last. "Although in truth I cannot say which

of the Praetorian Guards is the father. As a

precaution, I have taken the whole lot for my

household!"

This announcement at last brought the gasps of

amazement Fanuta had expected at her own. Although

irked at being upstaged by her followers, surrounded

by so many happy women, she could not remain angry.

"Well," the Queen laughed, "It seems we need to

arrange quickly for a joint marriage ceremony, lest

we cause scandal."

"There will be scandal enough as it is, My Queen,

when thou and thy entire Council present their

swollen bellies before the alter of the Goddess where

an equally pregnant High Priestess will meet them,"

chuckled Dolphia.

"Enough? Oh, perhaps not," the Queen replied with a

mischievous grin. "I can think of something else to

set the gossips' tongues wagging." No one dared ask,

although the Queen's broad smile harbored no threat.

"Now that we have gotten ourselves with child, we can

begin to share the fathers to be. Methinks Munira is

not the only one to have admired fair Lucas," she

grinned, glancing at Dolphia who looked embarrassed,

"and, too, I would prove the mettle of Aldos sword,"

the queen smiled again. "Perchance for a few nights

my cries will disturb the High Priestess's sleep, as

for months hers have mine."

The End?
