Prologue

Jendri lay quietly in her restraints, listening to her lord, Queen K`Endarra of Asperia,
with her youngest and favorite wife, the Lady Sharue. Just a few more days, Jendri told
herself, and we will be away from here for a while.

The sound of the queen`s rapid breathing signaled her imminent orgasm, and Jendri spared
a thought for V`Anekka, the queen`s second wife, shackled like Jendri, just a few feet
away. By now the numbness will have worn off, Jendri thought, but she is in spreaders. Her
orgasms will be weak and brief.

We knew it would be like this. Well, perhaps not exactly like this, but this is close
enough to what we expected, Jendri reminded herself. As K`Endarra`s senior wife, and a
submissive, she did not expect to lie with the queen every night. She had a right to be
present for the queen`s relations with other women, and to witness her orgasms with them,
but there was no requirement that any individual wife stimulate the queen on any given
day. There was no requirement whatsoever that the queen satisfy her wives. Their
satisfaction was supposed to derive from hers. She didn`t have to touch them at all if she
preferred not to.

Jendri`s thoughts drifted back to their return to the great Castle Golgathex, following
the honeymoon in the south islands. The queen had been in excellent spirits, because all
three of her wives had offered to be pierced in various ways to celebrate her third
marriage. In addition, she planned several royal progresses throughout her realm, to see
her people, to be seen by them, and to examine the stewardship of her nobility.

As it turned out, Queen K`Endarra had something else to look forward to – the remodeling
of the imperial bedroom according to her specifications, which had been accomplished in
their absence. Jendri was lying on her back, arms over her head and legs held apart in one
of the new alterations. Built into the interior wall of the enormous bedroom, across from
the French doors, were two alcoves. They looked like bench seating but by night, they
could be made into two narrow beds complete with various restraints. K`Endarra wanted all
her wives present for her relations with whomever she took to the Imperial bed, at least
until she was satisfied for the night. After that, they could release themselves and go to
their own apartments if they wished. By custom, if she came with any wife on a given day,
she had to come with all of them. By having all of them in the room with her, she
fulfilled her marital obligations.

Jendri remembered what K`Endarra had told her and V`Anekka in private, away from Sharue,
who had been told earlier. As the queen`s favorite, she had the right to sleep with
K`Endarra and come in her bed. The more senior wives, each of whom had been the favorite
at one time, no longer shared those privileges. They might lie with the queen in her bed,
but only to serve her. If the queen wished to give them pleasure, she would visit them in
their own bedrooms elsewhere in the grand imperial apartments.

Of course, all the women knew this before the third wedding, or the honeymoon, or their
return home. Now K`Endarra wanted to discuss the distribution of her favors with her first
two wives, especially Jendri, who, as queen consort and first wife, had the job of making
sure the queen distributed her sexual favors appropriately.

"Before the honeymoon," she told them as they sat together in her library,
"I had intended to lie with Sharue every night of the week but one, which I reserved
for my harem, and with you at different times throughout the week, afternoons, early
mornings, or evenings."

She paused to sip her wine. "However, we all discovered that Sharue`s tongue is too
harsh for that frequency, and if I lie with her, I will not be able to resist it. Soon I
would be celibate! That would not do at all. Therefore, I will lie with Sharue every other
night, or four nights a week. I will lie with each of you one night, and spend one night
in the harem, along with any daytime diversions I care to take. I expect the two of you to
keep me on schedule. It is not something for which I can depend on Sharue."

Jendri and V`Anekka both forbore to mention there was virtually nothing for which the
queen could depend upon Sharue, except to lick her to ecstasy. They merely nodded their
acquiescence and were summarily dismissed by their wife, who was catching up with the
administration of her realm, taking back the reins from her sister, Her Royal Highness
Princess S`Eranda, who had been regent in her absence.

Retreating to Jendri`s apartment, the two senior wives closed the doors and locked them.
"Who is minding Sharue?" V`Anekka asked.

"Sharue is a grown woman. Let her mind herself for a change," Jendri snarled.
"Did you have any clue K`Endarra meant to deny us her bed after serving her
needs?"

"No! I thought one night a week was rather harsh until I realized she had intended
to lie with Sharue exclusively," V`Anekka said sadly.

"Well, we must come up with some counter-proposal, but let us take our time,"
Jendri had counseled.

Since that afternoon, they had yet to make such a proposal. Part of the reason was the
fulfillment Jendri derived from the humiliating nights in the imperial bedroom. She
writhed with fire night after night as K`Endarra took her favorite wife or, once a week,
V`Anekka. Another part of the reason was that K`Endarra had rendered herself rather
inaccessible to her first two wives, both through her work schedule and her attachment to
her new wife. Finally, both senior wives loved their lord, saw how much she was enjoying
the new arrangement, and neither wanted to interfere with it or incur her wrath. So they
silently suffered for her sake as well as their own.

As K`Endarra`s moans became more insistent, Jendri`s mind and body were forced back to
the present. She twisted in her shackles, wishing she could see more. K`Endarra had
arranged the alcoves so her wives could see her bed when they lay on their backs, if there
was any illumination. This evening, though, the lights were down and Jendri and V`Anekka
had to rely on their imagination and experience to picture what Sharue was doing to please
the queen. In a bed wide enough for six women to sleep comfortably side by side, with room
for four more women, two across and two deep at the foot, K`Endarra and Sharue were high
up in the middle. K`Endarra lay on her back, reclining on a mound of pillows, Sharue
burrowed under her hips, digging in with her toes to seal herself to her queen. Sometimes
the scenario varied. In the harem, the queen might recline on a mound of women, including
her wives. Or in the imperial bed, one or both of her wives might lie at the foot of the
bed, or on either side of her and Sharue, to watch the queen`s enjoyment up close. But
tonight they were restrained in the alcoves, their noises of frustration a more distant
accompaniment to the lovers` sounds of passion.

Jendri gripped the bar as K`Endarra reached climax, knowing V`Anekka must be doing the
same, for she was about to be subjected to the torture of a forced sympathetic orgasm she
would be virtually unable to enjoy. Having her legs in spreaders meant little or no
pressure upon her engorged clitoris, which meant more of a mild spasm than an ecstatic
implosion, repeated as often as the queen herself came. Jendri would rather not come at
all than come that way, but V`Anekka had no choice.

"Uh, oh, Sharue, love, yes!" the queen began to scream uncontrollably. 

"Yesyesyes! Yes! Oh, my love! Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

V`Anekka`s body jerked so hard, she severely tested the bolts that secured her restraints
to the wall. "No!" she screeched. "No! Not this! No! Please!" Her
juices wet her bed, but her orgasm soon died away to nothing, leaving her sobbing weakly.

Jendri`s veins burned with the agony of passion long denied. Her hips leaped in time with
the queen`s cries, lifting themselves toward the great imperial bed seemingly of their own
will. "Oh, K`Endarra," she moaned. "Mmmm, yes, have her. Use her, do her.
Oh, yes, my lord." For Jendri it was different. She had not lost an opportunity to
come, it was merely an indefinite delay, building until her wife released her, then she
would come with the strength of all the orgasms she had witnessed but not experienced. Her
ass bounced up and down in the wet spot she had made for herself, but she did not mind.
Her time would come, and while she waited, she made her wife`s enjoyment that much better.
When she was able to relax, she did, and sighed as she felt the tension drain away.

Unfortunately, she had to listen to the pathetic moans of her sister-wife, and these, of
course, pierced her heart. Why would K`Endarra not let her Asperian wife come properly?
After all, everyone knew the deprivation most effective for V`Anekka was primarily
emotional, not physical. It was intimacy with the queen that the second consort craved
most, and letting her come relieved only the physical discomfort, not the longing.

Well, Jendri reasoned, the queen could do as she wished, and she was merciful in that her
wives could leave her chambers once she was satisfied. Then Jendri could relieve V`Anekka,
and she would. When the queen`s gentle snores indicated she had finished her nightly
pleasures, Jendri slipped out of her bonds, released V`Anekka`s as well, and quickly
stripped the linens from their narrow beds. She led her friend from the room and to her
own chambers, where she tucked in the exhausted princess. When she returned from her
duties a few minutes later, Jendri slid gracefully beneath the hips of the queen`s second
wife and lovingly took the swollen womanhood into her eager mouth.

V`Anekka groaned. "She leaves me in such agony. If only I could lie at her feet
while she comes."
"Mmmm," Jendri agreed as she sucked. She preferred that herself, even though,
as a restricted submissive, she could not come even then. Orgasm was impossible for Jendri
unless the monarch removed her Paxverdian Jewel, which was both seldom and unpredictable.
But nearness to K`Endarra while she climaxed was what Jendri craved, to press her lips to
the queen`s boots or to tongue her anus as she came was Jendri`s idea of paradise.
Jendri`s own orgasms were truly a secondary consideration, although she certainly enjoyed
them, especially when the queen permitted her a bootfuck. No point dwelling on that now,
though – not when her first concern was to give V`Anekka the release she desperately
needed.

"Come, my love. Come while you think of her," Jendri encouraged as she caressed
the bulbous pleasure center with her tongue.

"I can think of nothing but her," V`Anekka sighed. She pressed into her eager
lover`s mouth and waited. The mild orgasms she had experienced to intensify their lord`s
pleasure had only increased her need for satisfaction. "And what are you thinking
of?" she teased Jendri.

"I am thinking of how I burn for her touch, how I want her buttplug heels in my ass
as she comes. Gods, there is nothing more intense."

"Ah!" V`Anekka gasped at the image, and the memory. "Yes! Oh, finish me,
my darling!" she urged. She rose up for more. "Suck, slave."

"Mmmmmmm," Jendri groaned, humping the mattress with desperation. She couldn`t
come this way – never had, never would – but her body tried all the same.

With a bubbling rush of fluids, V`Anekka came at last. She covered her own face with a
pillow as she thrashed about in ecstasy, groaning K`Endarra`s name again and again.
Wisely, Jendri withdrew once V`Anekka had completed one climax. They both knew she had to
be responsive to the queen`s demands, which could well come as early as the following
morning. Even if she used only her young favorite, Sharue, again, K`Endarra would want her
other wives to hear it, feel it, and want it as deeply as they always did.
