The Coming of Age Ceremony

By: TheHiddenPen



Jess had looked forward to her trip for a long time. Ever since she had heard about the opportunity at a gap year fair she had had her heart set on it. She was currently being driven down the badly maintained track to the tribe's village and both her excitement and nerves were building.

The tribe that Jess would be living with had little contact with the outside world, and so had preserved many of their strange customs and traditions. Jess knew little about them, but was aware that at the end of her month there the annual coming of age ceremony would be taking place. She knew that this ceremony was participated in by all of those who had turned eighteen during the past twelve months and was intended to help them find a spouse. Having turned eighteen earlier that year she was fascinated to witness the ceremony.

Soon they arrived on the outskirts of the village, and the vehicle drew to a stop. The driver stepped out of the vehicle and unloaded her bags. Jess stepped out too, wondering what she was to do next, how to introduce herself. As she stood there staring in the direction of the village, the driver jumped back in the vehicle and drove off.

Jess picked up her bags and started to walk tentatively towards the outskirts of the village. It consisted of relatively crude huts, built in a circle around a central open area. Nobody seemed to be around. The village seemed almost abandoned. She wondered what had happened, and various terrible prospects filled her mind.

She walked into the central area and looked around. Suddenly she got the shock of her life. A group of completely naked men of varying ages leapt out from their concealment all around her and started to race towards her. Jess was terrified. What were they going to do to her?

As they approached, suddenly they broke into what appeared to be a dance, all moving in time to some non-existent music. She stared in shock at the display. This seemed to be some kind of welcoming party, but what a strange party it was. Not a single man in the group (which seemed to consist of men ranging from about her age right up to much older men) was wearing a stitch of clothing.

Jess had never even seen a naked man in real life before. She had attended a girl's school back at home, and came from a protective family. She'd never even had a boyfriend. It was such a strange sight to see so many naked men all at once. Jess stole a glance at a few of their penises, which they were making no attempt to hide. She wondered if they would mind, but thought that if this was the way they normally walked around, it probably would not bother them. Jess found a few of the younger men quite attractive, and decided that it might be an even more enjoyable month than she had previously expected if the men walked around naked.

Then a thought struck her. She looked down at her own body, concealed in her western clothes, and looked back at the naked men. She knew so little about this tribe and their customs. Would she be expected to spend the month naked too? The thought horrified her.

Soon her confusion was increased further as another group of villagers came dancing out to join the other men. It was a mixture of younger boys and girls, mostly in their teens she would have guessed, and they were all fully dressed in brightly coloured clothing. She breathed a small sigh of relief at the revelation that not everyone in the village walked around naked.

Finally a group of women, ranging like the original men from around her age to much older, came out and started dancing. They too were naked and made no attempt to hide their own bodies. Unlike the men, however, they had elaborate paintings all over their body: symbols and pictures that meant nothing to Jess but which must signify something to the tribe.

Now the whole area was full of dancing villagers -- the younger amongst them fully dressed in traditional tribal robes, the older completely naked and seemingly not remotely embarrassed. Finally a small group of villagers started to play traditional instruments, and the air was full of the sound of the tribe's traditional music, mixed with the singing of the tribespeople. Jess' nerves were starting to give way now to fascination at this strange but enthusiastic greeting.

Eventually the music and singing died down and one of the women stepped forward to greet Jess. She was a very attractive girl who looked to be around Jess' age, and to Jess' relief was wrapped in the tribe's traditional robes, not naked like her older peers.

"Hello and welcome," she said to Jess, smiling and giving a little bow of her head.

Jess was a little uncertain as to how to respond, but bowed her head back slightly and thanked the woman.

"My name is Sigma and I will be looking after you during your stay in the village," the woman explained in good but heavily accented English.

"I'm Jess," responded Jess. "I'm so pleased to be here in your village. That was a great welcome."

Sigma turned to the other villagers and said something in their native tongue. A chant went up from around the group.

"They are chanting their pleasure that you enjoyed it," Sigma translated.

Sigma introduced Jess to some of the other tribe members, both those who were senior within the tribe and those who were Sigma's friends and family. Jess discovered that many of the older tribespeople could not speak any English, but some of the younger ones, including Sigma, had been taught English during a short lived government programme a few years earlier.

***

Over the next few days Jess learnt many things about the tribe. The tribe members did not usually walk around naked. Normally they would wear rather dull coloured but intricately patterned robes. It was only on major ceremonial occasions that they would vary from this normal dress. On the most special of occasions those who had not yet come of age would wear the brightly coloured robes, whereas those who had would wear nothing at all.

Sigma explained the reason for this somewhat strange behaviour. Many years ago the village had suffered a run of awful events, and the tribespeople had become convinced that they must have offended the spirits. At the time, nudity was highly frowned on within the tribe, and to be naked in public was considered a thing of great shame. It was reserved for those who had committed some major crime against the tribe -- they would be stripped of their clothes and then cast out of the village.

The villagers however were desperate to bring their run of ill luck to an end, and eventually decided that the only way to appease the spirits would be for all of them to dance completely naked around the village, to demonstrate their shame at having wronged the spirits. Almost immediately after this first ceremony, the tribe's luck had changed, and everyone became convinced that they had been forgiven by the spirits. 

Now it had become tradition to disrobe for any major ceremonial event, to demonstrate their shame for any wrong they may have done previously, and to avoid the spirits becoming offended again. Only those who had not come of age yet were excluded from this obligation, because no tribesperson was deemed to have responsibility for the actions of the tribe until they had been through the coming of age ceremony.

Jess started to engage in many of the traditional day-to-day activities of the tribe, from going to collect water at the nearby lake to preparing the food to helping in making the elaborately decorated robes all the tribespeople wore. She was delighted to be gifted her own set of robes, which made her blend in slightly better than she had when she had been wearing her Western clothes.

Jess found the tribespeople extremely friendly. They rarely saw outsiders in their village, and so this fair skinned girl was very exciting and exotic to them. Jess was by any account a very attractive girl, a beautiful brunette with a great figure. She proved especially popular with the menfolk of the village. Being a traditionally shy girl who normally dressed down and made little of her looks, Jess had never had the amount of male attention that might have been expected for a girl of her looks when back at home. But here she was the centre of attention, and, after some initial reticence, she started to love her new found role.

She became especially close to one of the boys, Theta. He was the same age as Jess and was preparing to take part in the coming of age ceremony at the end of the month. Like Jess, he was a little shy, but he was a very attractive boy. He had a reputation in the village as being one of the best hunters, something which Jess would not normally have looked for in a boy, but which she could understand the attraction of in a village that was hundreds of miles from the nearest supermarket.

After a few weeks, Sigma told Jess she needed a word with her. Whilst she was pleased Jess was settling into the tribe so well, she had some concerns. Firstly, Jess had become a very popular girl amongst the young men in the village, and there had been mumblings amongst them about the amount of time she was spending with Theta. Whilst Jess might be leaving at the end of the month, Theta would be staying, and it would not be good for him to become unpopular due to the amount of time he was spending with Jess.

Secondly, it was not the done thing in the village for any girl and boy to spend too much time with each other prior to coming of age. They were supposed to socialise with everyone, so that they could get the best idea of who would make the best spouse for them. The older tribespeople particularly were concerned about their breach of custom, and concerned that Theta was not socialising with the other girls in the village to try to find himself a future wife.

Thirdly, Sigma was worried that Theta may be developing the expectation that Jess would become his future wife, and would stay in the village with him. He would be bitterly disappointed when she left the village, and Sigma felt it was unfair for Jess to lead him on, no matter how unintentionally, especially at this important time in his life.

Jess was very disappointed to hear this, but understood. She didn't want to cause any trouble for the tribe, especially for Theta, of whom she was very fond. Over the next few weeks she did her best to spend more time with the other tribespeople, and to only see Theta occasionally. Theta seemed slightly confused and hurt by her apparent rejection, but she hoped that it would be for the best in the long term.

***

The day of the coming of age ceremony finally arrived. There had been a great anticipation around the village prior to the ceremony, especially amongst those who would be participating in the ceremony. It was an extremely important event for them -- not only the day on which they would come of age and be able to take a full part in village life, but also the day when they were supposed to find a future spouse.

Jess had met all of the people who were to participate in the ceremony. There were four girls, Sigma amongst them, and five boys, including Theta. The imbalance added an extra degree of nerves for the male participants, as one of them was certain to end up without a partner. Not only did this mean a lonely time at the ceremony, but, given there was little opportunity to socialise outside of the village, it meant an uncertain future. There were two single girls in the village who had come of age in the past few years and not been able to find a spouse, but none of the boys were at all keen on the prospect of marrying either of them.

The ceremony started after lunch. All the female members of the tribe gathered on one side of the central circle, with the four girls who would be taking part in the ceremony at the front, and the males gathered at the other side in similar fashion. Jess was sitting close to the front, dressed in her own brightly coloured ceremonial robes that she had made with Sigma's help over the past few weeks. Jess was rather pleased to see that none of the tribespeople were naked for this ceremony, as she would have again felt rather embarrassed.

Just prior to the commencement of the ceremony, Sigma turned to Jess.

"The first part of the ceremony will be traditional dancing with the boys," she whispered. "I'm sure no one would mind if you took part too. After all, otherwise one of the boys will be left without a partner."

At first Jess resisted and declined the offer. She didn't want to invade their special ceremony, and anyway, apart from helping Sigma practice her dancing for the ceremony, she had little knowledge of how to perform the dance. However, Sigma insisted, and eventually Jess gave in. She had after all spent the last year looking forward to this ceremony. It would be the only chance in her life to take part in it. Why not?

The music struck up, and the girls, Jess included, danced into the middle of the circle, as did the boys from the other side. Each girl partnered up with one of the boys, Jess taking care not to partner up with Theta, lest she be taken to be giving him any signals.

The dancing continued for quite some time, the girls and boys regularly swapping partners. During a short break, Sigma explained to Jess that dancing was a very important part of tribal life, and that traditionally this part of the ceremony was designed to help participants test potential partner's dancing ability, to help them make their final decision as to why they wished to spend the rest of their life with.

Jess laughed a little.

"Surely you're not going to change your mind about your future husband based solely on how he dances?" she smiled.

Sigma looked serious for a second.

"The dances are each representative of different things. One is representative of hunting ability, another of fertility, and so on. We are supposed to be able to tell how good the boy is at these things by the way they dance."

Jess' smile fell a little. She hoped she hadn't offended Sigma.

Then Sigma chuckled a little.

"Of course most of us don't really believe that any more. It's just ceremony. No, I decided which boy I wanted years ago."

She blushed a little then subtly gestured to one of the boys on the other side of the circle, who was laughing and joking with a tribal elder. His name was Chi, and Jess could see what Sigma saw in him. He was very funny and a perfect gentleman. He wasn't at all bad looking, either. There was also a rumour amongst the girls that he had been bitten on the penis by a venomous snake many years ago, and this had caused it still today to be swelled to a most impressive size. Size, it appeared, did matter to the girls in the village. It was a genuinely held belief that those with larger penises were more fertile and better lovers. Given that those who had not come of age yet would never be naked in public within the village however, nobody had any idea as to whether Chi's penis really was as impressively sized as was believed, and Jess thought it rather farfetched.

The dancing went on for hours. At times they were joined by the other villagers, and Jess was by now very much enjoying the ceremony. Her initial inhibitions were lost. She felt very much one of the tribe and was really glad that she had not just sat out as a spectator.

Later in the afternoon the dancing finally ended and it was time for a series of trials for the villagers who were coming of age to prove themselves ready to be admitted into adulthood. The trials for the boys were of a very physical nature -- catching a wild boar that was let loose in the village, an archery demonstration, even running over hot coals. The girls, in accordance with their traditional roles, were expected to show demonstrations of their needlework and to cook a meal for the entire village. Again, Jess was invited to join in, and, though her needlework was nothing compared to the standard of the other girls, the villagers were most impressed by how quickly she had learnt. She was delighted when all the villagers declared the meal cooked to be the best they had ever tasted at a coming of age ceremony.

As the light started to fade, the day entered its final section. Sigma explained that each of the villagers who were coming of age would step forward to be declared an adult by a tribal elder. They would then be expected to remove their robes and stand there naked in front of the entire village. Sigma explained that although as children they were immune from any responsibility for wrongdoing by the tribe, all adults had to accept responsibility for any wrong done by any member of the tribe, and the disrobing was a symbolic representation of their acceptance of this responsibility, and their shame for any wrongdoing the tribe had committed in the past.

"Are you... are you nervous about that?" Jess asked, very surprised at the revelation.

Sigma blushed.

"Of course," she said. "We are a very private people normally -- that's why we always wear these robes which show very little of our bodies or even their shape. It is most embarrassing for us to be naked in public, and this is even worse that the big ceremonies like you witnessed when you arrived. Almost everyone else will be dressed -- it will only be the new adults who will be naked, and it will be our very first time revealing our bodies."

Jess felt bad for Sigma and the others, and was very glad that she would not have to undress in front of the rest of the tribe.

First it was the turn of the boys to be inducted into adulthood. The first boy stepped forward and bowed his head slightly before the great tribal elder who was stood in the centre of the circle. The elder recited a long chant, which Sigma whispered was welcoming the boy to adulthood and explaining his rights and responsibilities. The boy chanted back, accepting the welcome and agreeing to do his best for the tribe and to abide by its laws and customs. Then the elder made a gesture by pulling on his own robes.

The boy looked around at the entire group assembled nervously, then, as quickly as he could, removed the robes and dropped them on the ground. A chant went up from the entire tribe, welcoming him to adulthood. He looked rather embarrassed at his nudity and all the attention, but did his best to smile.

Jess looked at his body, especially his crotch. A feeling of excitement welled up inside her. She had only once before seen naked men, on her first day in the village, and then she had been rather too nervous to enjoy the sight much. Now she was determined to enjoy the five naked bodies, the five exposed cocks that would be presented in front of her. She was especially looking forward to seeing Theta naked, although she also couldn't wait to find out in the rumours about Chi's penis were true.

The first boy went back to the edge of the circle, and another of the boys approached the centre. Again, he went through the same process. However, upon him removing his robes Jess noticed almost immediately that he had a partial erection. Jess found the sight of an erect penis even more exciting that the flaccid penises she had already seen, and could feel her own body starting to respond to the sexually exciting nature of the events. She looked at Sigma, wondering if she was feeling the same, but Sigma was just staring into space, seemingly more concerned about her own exposure to the group.

Next up was Chi, and that did get Sigma's attention. Jess wished that the chanting wasn't nearly so long, and her excitement grew as the moment of exposure grew closer. Finally, after only a second's pause to take a deep breath, Chi removed his robes. Whilst she still doubted that a snake bite was the reason, Jess had to admit that Chi did indeed have a penis of a most impressive length, even in its largely flaccid state. Jess tore her eyes away from his cock for a moment to look at Sigma, who's eyes were clearly fixed on a very specific part of his body. Sigma had a wide smile on her face.


The Coming of Age Ceremony Ch. 02



The vehicle turned a corner and there it was: still a little in the distance, but close enough to bring the memories – and emotions – flooding back. 

Her mind took her back to this time last year when she had seen the tribe's village for the first time. All she had known last time was that she was going to spend a month with a tribe who had little contact with the outside world and so still had many of their own special customs and traditions.

She was just as nervous this time as last, but for different reasons. Last time she had been completely stepping into the unknown. This time she knew a lot more about the tribe. Not only had she spent a month with them but she had participated in their coming of age ceremony, rather too enthusiastically.

The memory of this made her turn and look her fellow passenger. She had met Stu soon after returning from her time with the tribe, and a friendship had turned into something more. Stu and Jess had been dating for about eight months now, and when Jess had told him she would like to go and visit the tribe, he had insisted on coming along. She had chosen to keep most of the details of her previous summer's trip a secret, something she was now beginning to regret.

As the vehicle drew closer to the edge of the village Jess took a deep breath and started to pull off her top. It took Stu only a few seconds to notice what she was doing and he gave her a surprised look. Having removed her top she unfastened her jeans and started to remove these too.

"What on Earth are you doing?" Stu asked.

This was going to take some explaining.

"Well, the tribe see being naked as a way of demonstrating your shame..."

Suddenly the vehicle took an alarming swerve to the left. Jess paused for a second, jeans around her ankles. She looked at the driver and could tell instantly what had caused his lapse in concentration. He was staring into the rear view mirror, clearly more interested in what was happening on the back seat than on the road.

"... shame for something you have done wrong," she continued when the vehicle had finally returned to the correct side of the road. She pulled the jeans off and started to reach behind her back to unfasten her bra. She took another deep breath. It wasn't just the driver she was nervous about seeing her undressed, it was Stu as well. Although they had been dating for what seemed like ages, she hadn't slept with him yet. It just hadn't felt right yet. Not like it had with...

"I don't understand – what did you do wrong?" Stu asked, puzzled.

Jess released the fastening and pulled her bra off as quickly as possible. Stu's eyes moved straight to her bare breasts, and another violent swerve made it clear that the driver's eyes had too. Typical boys.

"Remember I mentioned the coming of age ceremony?" Jess asked, and Stu nodded. She put her thumbs in the waistband of her knickers and pulled these down too. She was sitting there naked now, ready to encounter the tribe and show them her regret at how she had behaved.

"Well, it's a traditional way for boys and girls in the tribe to find themselves a future spouse," she continued. Stu's eyes were fixed on her bare crotch now. It felt a bit weird – nobody had seen her naked for a year, but she knew that a whole lot more people were about to see her naked and she would have to get used to it.

"And I sort of accidentally gave a guy the impression that I was going to marry him –"

That was enough to distract his attention from her body for a second, and he looked up at her.

"What?! How?"

"It's... it's complicated..."

She didn't want to explain to Stu right now how she had given Theta a hand job in front of the whole village then lost her virginity to him.

"But anyway," she continued, feeling the vehicle starting to slow as it arrived at its destination, "I just hope they'll be OK about it."

The village looked deserted as they stepped out of the vehicle. Jess could see the driver leering at her naked body. She stared back at him defiantly but he didn't avert his gaze.

"Looks like they've all gone out for the day!" Stu joked. "Did you tell them we were coming?"

"Yes!" insisted Jess. "This is what they do. They'll all jump out in a minute and start a ceremonial dance. Be warned – most of them will be naked."

She led Stu through the village to the central circle, and as they arrived her heart started to beat much faster. This is where it had all happened just less than a year ago.

It was just how she remembered it: naked men suddenly emerging from all around, dancing to silent music. She even knew the dance – it was a version of one she had taken part in at the coming of age ceremony. It was here that she had seen a penis for the first time last year. Seeing the men in all their naked glory reminded her that she hadn't seen a naked man since the last time she was in the village.

Tearing her eyes away from the array of exposed cocks Jess looked up at the villagers' faces to try to gauge their reaction to her arrival. Although most of them seemed lost in the dance, a few of them had looks of surprise. Presumably they had all been told the identity of the guest they were welcoming, but perhaps they had not expected her to arrive minus her clothes.

She searched the faces for the friends she had made the previous year – one in particular. She managed to pick out a few of the villagers of her own age who had participated in the coming of age ceremony the previous year. She saw Chi dancing away in the front row, and couldn't resist a glance down at his huge manhood, reputedly the result of once being bitten in that intimate place by a venomous snake. She could feel herself starting to get aroused but hoped that her naked body did not reveal this.

Finally she found the villager she had really been searching for. Three rows back she could just make out Theta, dancing away with the rest of the men. However, he did not look as happy as the rest to be welcoming her. His eyes were firmly fixed on Stu, clearly wondering who he was and clearly not entirely delighted to be welcoming him to the village.

Jess glanced over at Stu who was glaring at her. She gave him a quizzical look. What was he annoyed about?

"So this is why you wanted to come? To stare at other guy's cocks?" he hissed loudly.

Jess was surprised by his reaction. She had warned him that the welcoming party would be naked. What was his problem?

Before she could reply a further group of villagers came dancing out, this time the adult women of the village, all as naked as Jess was. Jess looked back at Stu, planning on answering his ridiculous allegation, but she noticed that he appeared to have been distracted by the newcomers.

Stu was clearly enjoying the view of the village women dancing around without any clothes on. Jess realised that this was a guy's wet dream: the village women were generally attractive and all had generously proportioned chests. Their vigorous dancing was making their boobs bounce around in all directions. She looked back at Stu to see his eyes flickering from one set of big boobs to another. Hypocrite.

Finally the younger members of the tribe came out with their own welcome dance. They were all dressed in brightly coloured clothes, the privilege of those who had not yet been through the coming of age ceremony. Stu didn't even seem to notice the new dancers. His eyes had now settled on one of the most attractive women. Jess recognised her at once. It was Sigma. They had become close friends last time she was in the village.

Jess looked down to see a bulge in Stu's trousers. She wasn't at all surprised. She suddenly remembered that she was as naked as all the other women. She looked down at her own chest. She never normally thought of her boobs as being particularly small, but compared to those possessed by the village women they were. She looked up at Stu again, whose eyes were still focussed on Sigma's huge boobs. A pang of jealously welled up inside her. Why was Stu paying Sigma so much attention and ignoring her?

Finally the dancing finished, and, just as a year ago, it was Sigma who approached her.

"Welcome back," Sigma said, giving the same bow of her head that she had given a year ago.

Jess returned the bow and smiled back.

Sigma looked at Stu who seemed to have no shame in continuing to focus on her breasts.

"Welcome to our village," Sigma said, but she didn't sound particularly welcoming. She was clearly trying to mask her disapproval at his blatant objectification of her.

"You've got great tits," Stu replied.

Sigma looked shocked. She looked questioningly at Jess, obviously wanting to check that "tits" meant what she thought it meant. Jess could feel herself going bright red. She had never seen this side to Stu before, and she didn't like it.

Now a few of the other villagers had started to approach. Chi, Sigma's fiancé, put a protective arm around her and looked threateningly at Stu. The other villagers seemed none too pleased with the newcomer's attitude. Jess knew that the villagers were all very friendly welcoming people, but they were a proud people too. She decided to take him away from the crowd before any further damage could be done.

***

It was a few hours later before Jess finally found Theta. He was sitting outside one of the huts telling a story to some of the village children in their native language. They were clearly very much enjoying the story, and Theta was obviously enjoying himself too. Jess stood at some distance for a while, smiling at how good Theta was with the kids.

Eventually the story finished and the children ran off, pushing and shoving playfully. Theta stood and started to walk off too. Jess called to him.

Theta turned around and his facial expression changed quickly: first to a wide smile, but then to something less happy. She knew that she had hurt him last year, and she worried that coming back, especially bringing Stu, would just hurt him all over again. She knew she had to have a talk with him.

"Hi Jess," he said, trying to appear cheerful. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, thanks," she said, smiling back. "It's great to be back here. I've missed it."

Theta glanced down. He didn't respond.

"I've missed you," she offered.

Theta looked back at her. She was still naked. She wasn't going to wear any clothes until Theta had forgiven her. But Theta didn't stare at her body. He looked her straight in the eyes.

"I've missed you too, so much," he said, and she could hear the emotion in his voice.

Now Jess didn't know what to say.

"The guy you came with...?" Theta said, leaving Jess to finish off the sentence.

"Stu," she said, reluctant to have this conversation with Theta. "Yeah, we've been dating a while."

A sad look again on Theta's face and he averted his eyes again.

"And you?" she asked.

Theta shook his head.

"Nobody? I don't believe that. A guy like you?"

"Nobody," he said quietly.

"There's... there's not much chance to meet anyone here," he continued. "Besides... once I'd met you... how could I settle for anyone else?"

Jess could see tears in his eyes now. She wanted to give him a hug, but with her still being naked it felt inappropriate.

"You'll find someone," she said. "I know you will. If I... if I hadn't had to go home..."

She paused, wondering how much she should say. Could she really admit that she had fallen in love with him? That so many times since she had returned to England she had wished she had stayed? Did she mean it?

The moment was interrupted by the arrival of two very angry looking villagers pushing Stu along in front of them. Stu had a defiant look on his face and was trying to argue with them, but they were ignoring him.

Theta turned towards the new arrivals and one of them shouted at him in the tribal language. Theta responded, clearly trying to calm the men down. After some further discussion the men shoved Stu forwards, almost knocking him off his feet, then stormed off.

"Stupid fucking idiots," Stu raged. "Who the fuck do they think they are?"

Theta looked angry at Stu's outburst, but he addressed Jess calmly.

"He was caught... peeing... against the side of one of the huts," he explained.

Jess looked at him surprised. Again he was showing a side to himself that she had never seen before. She could see why the natives were furious. The villagers were a very private people and would never have dreamed of relieving themselves in public, especially against the wall of one of their homes.

"I thought that's what they did round here!" Stu protested. "They don't have fucking electricity or running water – how was I supposed to know they had toilets?!"

Theta looked absolutely furious now at the insinuation that the villagers were so uncivilised that they would simply relieve themselves wherever they felt like it. For the second time that day Jess decided that she had better take Stu away before he did any more harm.

***

Jess and Stu had been given a hut to share during their time in the village. The hut was empty apart from a mattress stuffed with straw to one side of the hut. It was wide enough for both of them to sleep on, but Jess was not sure that she wanted to share a bed with Stu.

Before they had arrived at the village she had thought that perhaps this would be an appropriate place for them to sleep with each other for the first time. After all, this was the only place she had ever had sex before. Maybe the magic that had led to her wanting to sleep with Theta would work for her and Stu. But now they were here, it still didn't feel right. Perhaps it was what had happened earlier that day. Stu had seemed so out of place – and out of character – in a place that Jess felt so at home, felt so much like she could be herself.

Jess tried to cast her mind back to her last night in one of these huts. Although it was a different hut, it looked very similar to the one that had been gifted to Theta and her a year ago. All the huts in the village were built to the same specifications, and all had that same atmospheric feeling after dark in that dim flickering light of a single lantern.

Stu started to undress. Jess tried to get excited about seeing him taking his clothes off. Her mind once again returned to that day a year ago when Theta had dropped his robes at the ceremony. Stu took his shirt off revealing an upper body that was the work of many hours in the gym. Jess felt the slightest twinge between her legs. What girl wouldn't want to get her hands on that?

Again a flashback to the year before; her hands exploring Theta. She had felt safe, protected. That body had been the result of his physical work for the village: hunting, chopping down trees to burn on the fires. Theta would always provide for her. Theta would keep her safe.

She shook her head violently, trying to shake the feelings. She wasn't with Theta now. She was with Stu. Stu could protect her too, provide for her, she was sure. Only last week he'd gone to the supermarket to get her some milk when she had run out. She couldn't help but giggle. It wasn't quite the same.

Stu looked hurt, obviously thinking she was laughing at his body.

"No... sorry... it was..." She trailed off.

Stu removed his shoes and socks, then his jeans. Finally she was about to see him naked. She was determined not to compare with Theta. No, she wouldn't...

His boxers came down, revealing... well, not the most impressive manhood in the world. Jess might not have had much experience with guys, but she had seen plenty of penises during her time in the village, and Stu's was... well, on the small side, even though it was already at half mast. Well... size didn't matter, did it?

Jess cast her mind back to the first time they had met, in the bar at university. She had been flattered to be approached by such an attractive guy. He had made her laugh, made her feel special. They'd been dating for months now – her longest relationship by a long distance. Sometimes she wondered whether she would ever feel about him like she felt about Theta but – well, that wasn't real, it was one night of madness, it would never have worked.

Jess lay on the mattress and Stu joined her, putting his arms round her, holding their naked bodies close. A tingle went through her body at the feeling of her against hers: her boobs pressed into his chest, his cock pressing against her thigh. Their lips met, first with a gentle, chaste kiss, but then more passionately. They had kissed before of course, but the intimacy of their bodies added an extra enthusiasm to their action.

His hand found their way onto her bottom, and she returned the gesture. He had a very good bum, she'd always thought that. She could feel his cock continuing to grow, now standing almost fully to attention. She was flattered that she had done that to him.

"Jess..." he breathed, separating his lips from hers for a second.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"You're beautiful," he told her, running a hand up her back.

"Thanks," she smiled.

"You make my cock so hard," he continued.

"I noticed," she giggled.

His hand found its way onto her right boob, squeezing it hard, a bit too hard. She continued to stare into his eyes, hoping that he would read her mind, know that she wanted him to be a bit more gentle, at least until she was more aroused. She was just starting to get excited, but she needed a lot more work yet.

He squeezed her nipple between his fingers, giving it a tweak. Again, too rough.

"Baby..." she said, planning on telling him, but then suddenly feeling a bit shy about it.

"I love you," she finished, supplying a plausible ending.

Stu took this as an invitation, and his other hand slipped between her legs. It felt nice having a man's hand there again, but still... it was too quick. She wanted it slower.

She returned to kissing him, letting her hands explore his body, trying to get herself more aroused. She fantasised that Stu had been out hunting with the tribe today, killed the biggest beast they had ever seen. She imagined that the tribe had enjoyed a hearty feast, and Stu had been offered a night with any girl in the village as a prize. And he'd picked Jess, of course.

She felt Stu slip a couple of fingers inside her, exploring her intimately. She opened her eyes, and there was Stu, staring ravenously at her. His facial expression showed how aroused he was: he ready he was to consummate their relationship. She wanted to too, but not yet. Surely he could tell she wasn't wet enough yet?

He removed his fingers, then she felt him place his cock against her vagina, ready to penetrate her. It didn't feel right. She didn't want to. Not with Stu. Not now. She pushed him off.

He looked at her, confused and frustrated. What was she doing, denying him the pleasure he was expected?

"Not tonight, baby, I'm tired," she said, knowing that it was a lame excuse.

He gave her a look that indicated he was not best pleased with her change of heart, but did not attempt to change her mind. She lay with her back to him, and soon heard him grunting with pleasure, clearly having decided to finish the job himself. She was frustrated too. She had been looking forward to having sex again. But she didn't feel in the mood to pleasure herself. She wished... did she?... she hated to admit this, but she wished she was with Theta.

***

The next morning Jess left the hut earlier before Stu awoke. It felt strange going outside naked again, and a little inconvenient given that there was an unseasonal chill in the air, but she still had to be forgiven by Theta. Perhaps she could find him now and sort things out with him.

After some looking around she had an idea. She vaguely remembered the location of the hut that they had been given after the coming of age ceremony. Perhaps he still lived there. She went to the central circle then headed off from there. It took her a while to remember the way – last time she had made the journey it had been running through the darkness with Theta leading. Eventually though she came across their hut. "Their" hut. She smiled then grimaced at the thought.




The Coming of Age Ceremony Ch. 02



Jess poked her head around the doorway. The light was streaming in through the opening and it did indeed illuminate a still sleeping Theta, lying on the mattress where she had lost her virginity a year ago. His body was covered with the sleeping robes that villagers traditionally wore to bed.

Half of the hut remained empty, the half that had been left free for her things, still preserved, waiting for her return. She walked in slowly. Villagers generally did not enter each other's huts without permission, but she didn't think Theta would mind.

She stepped on a small stone on the floor. The pain of it against her bare sole made her say "ouch!", and Theta started to wake. He rubbed his eyes and opened them slowly, blinking in the bright light. As soon as he saw her a wide smile crossed his face.

"Hi Jess," he said.

"Hi Theta."

Jess took a seat on a stool in the populated half of the hut. She sat there looking at him for a long time, and he looked back at her, again not wavering from her face, resisting the opportunity to enjoy the sight of her naked body.

"I'm really sorry about what I did last year," she started.

"I know," Theta nodded.

"Thanks for this..." He gestured down at her naked body. "It means a lot to me, you showing your shame to the whole village; especially choosing to do it in the traditional tribal way."

"It was the least I could do," she smiled.

"Do you love him?" Theta asked, suddenly changing the topic. "Does he... make you happy?"

Jess averted her eyes. She didn't want to answer those questions.

"What does love mean anyway?" Jess asked, more to herself than to Theta.

There was silence for a long while. Then Theta spoke.

"Do you – did you – love me?" he asked.

"Yeah," Jess said, then stopped herself. What was she saying?

"I... I thought I did... it's... it's different with Stu."

"Different better?"

She didn't answer him. Sitting here in this hut with all those memories, remembering how she had felt a year ago – she hadn't felt like that since. She didn't know if she ever would again.

Theta smiled at her. She had ruined his life. She had offered him that perfect future then ripped it away from him. Now he lay here every night dreaming of what might have been. Yet he didn't hate her. He didn't hold a grudge against her.

"I just want you to be happy Jess," he said.

He stood up and walked over to a box at the edge of the hut. He pulled out some clothes – some western female clothes. Jess' clothes. She had only remembered when she had returned home. She had been given her own set of tribal robes a week or so into her last visit, and had changed into them at the home of one of the villagers. She had meant to pick her discarded clothes up before she left, but with everything that had happened she had forgotten. Theta had kept them for her.

She took the handing over of the clothes as permission for her to get dressed. Theta even averted his eyes whilst she put the clothes on, something which seemed rather unnecessary, but was a nice gesture. As she pulled the top on she noticed something – a hole she had made in the top shortly after arriving in the village had been seamlessly repaired. Theta noticed her searching for evidence of the hole.

"I fixed it for you," he smiled.

"You?" she exclaimed. That sort of work was normally allocated to the women of the village.

"I know how!" he retorted with mock indignation.

"I just wanted it to be right for you if, you know, you ever came back," he said, more softly.

Jess couldn't help but rush up to him and give him a hug. The tears came almost immediately. She had missed him so, so much. A year away may have dulled the ache, Stu may have provided a distraction, but now she was back with Theta the feelings ripped through the flimsy wall she had built around them, attacking her with full force.

"What the fuck?!"

Stu was standing there in the doorway with a face like thunder. Jess and Theta broke the embrace.

"Get your fucking filthy hands off her!" Stu raged.

Jess manoeuvred herself between Theta and Stu. She had never seen Stu like this before. What the hell had got into him?

Stu marched up to them and shoved her aside. She lost her footing and fell to the ground. She looked up just in time to see Stu aim a punch straight at Theta's face.

With the swiftness that had made him the village's best hunter Theta evaded the punch, then he grabbed Stu and wrestled him to the ground. Stu's gym-built muscles were no match for Theta's finely honed hunting skills, and Theta pinned him to the ground.

Jess jumped to her feet and raced out of the hut. She soon found some passing villagers and gestured for them to come and help. They followed her to the hut where they surveyed the scene. Theta explained what had happened in his native tongue and the two men roughly took hold of Stu, yanked him to his feet and escorted him out of the hut.

"Are you OK?" Theta asked, looking concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she smiled. "You were really good. Stu's a strong guy."

"I wouldn't normally have fought him," Theta said. "I'd normally just have run. I could outrun pretty much anyone. I'm not one for fighting. But I was worried he'd hurt you, and I'd never let that happen."

Suddenly that rush of feelings for Theta came back even stronger. She'd always thought he would protect her, but now she knew. He was a brave man taking on Stu, and he had done so with almost super-human strength.

She could see it in his eyes. He hadn't enjoyed grounding Stu, despite his good reason to hate him. He could clearly have hurt Stu if he had wanted to, and nobody would have blamed him if Stu had received a black eye in the struggle. But he hadn't. He'd just done enough to protect Jess.

She threw her arms around him again. There was only her and Theta in the world. Nothing else mattered. Stu was history. She didn't know what the tribe would do to him. She didn't care. All she cared about was Theta. She had caused him so much damage emotionally last year. This year she had brought Stu who had almost caused him some serious physical damage. Yet he still loved her. And she loved him. This was what love meant.

***

The sun shone brightly in the sky. It had done so for the whole of Jess' first week back in the village. Jess was happy. Stu had left, thrown out of the village in disgrace. The villagers had welcomed her back with open arms. The skills that she had learnt last year came straight back to her, and she was able to make a real contribution to village life. She was delighted to renew her friendships with those she had got on with so well the previous year.

At this time of year everyone in the village was in a good mood. The annual coming of age ceremony was coming round again in a few weeks, and another group of villagers would be finding themselves admitted into adulthood and (hopefully) finding a future spouse to share their life with. A month after that was another big ceremony – the wedding ceremony. All those couples who had got together at last year's coming of age ceremony would be formally marrying in front of the whole village.

Jess spent a lot of time with Sigma, and she could tell how nervous her friend was. It was going to be one of the most important days of her life. Sigma was blissfully happy with Chi and couldn't wait to make her vows to him.

Jess tried to get Sigma to provide details of the wedding ceremony. After all, given the strange traditions that surrounded the coming of age ceremony, surely the wedding ceremony would have some equally strange events. But Sigma was keeping quiet. She just kept telling Jess that she would have to "wait and see".

"What about you and Theta?" Sigma asked her one day.

"What about us?" Jess replied.

"Well... you became betrothed at the coming of age ceremony last year. You're back together now, aren't you? Will you be taking part in the ceremony?"

Jess shook her head.

"No, I don't think so... I mean, I've only been back a week. It's a bit soon."

"You're not planning on going back to England again, are you?" Sigma asked, looking concerned.

"I don't know," Jess said, shaking her head again.

She had been giving this a lot of thought. She had a plane ticket booked for the end of the month, she had university to return to. But over the last week she had felt so at home here, so happy to be back in Theta's arms. Seeing all the other girls preparing for married life, she wished she was one of them.

But then, why shouldn't she be? She had gone through the coming of age ceremony the previous year. She was a member of the tribe now, and officially betrothed to Theta. She was perfectly entitled to marry him alongside the others if she wanted to.

It was late one night when she made the decision. She and Theta were lying on their backs in exactly the same clearing they had lain in a year ago, staring up at the sky, breaking from their observations of the heavens only to stare lovingly into each other's eyes.

"Remember what we said last time we were here?" Jess asked.

Theta screwed up his face. He didn't want to remember the moment when she had told him she was heading back to England. Perhaps he thought she was going to make a similar revelation now.

"No – I'm not going to tell you I'm going back to England again!" she exclaimed, laughing a little at the look on his face.

Theta visibly relaxed and a smile started to develop on his face.

"I mean about the moon – I said that we could both look at the moon at the same time and think of each other."

Theta nodded, smiling at the memory.

"Did you... did you ever do it?" she asked, a little nervously. She had laid there for so many hours starting up at the moon – she didn't really want the feeling of comfort it had given her to be shattered by a revelation that Theta had not been doing the same.

"Every night," Theta said, still smiling but with a little bit of sadness crossing his brow at the memory of lying there, waiting for a return he didn't really think possible.

Jess threw her arms around him, pressing her lips to his. He held her tightly, kissing back violently, making the most of a feeling he had never thought he would have again.

Finally Theta broke the embrace. Jess looked at him, slightly disappointed that he had chosen to end the pleasure. She put on an exaggerated sad face to indicate her disapproval.

Theta raised himself to his knees. He made a little bowing gesture of his head. Jess gave him an inquisitive look. She had only ever seen the gesture at formal occasions: her welcome to the village, the coming of age ceremony, worship of the spirits. She had never seen it exchanged between friends in a social context.

"Jess, you are the only girl I have ever loved, the only girl I ever will love," he said, staring straight into her eyes. Her heart gave a little jump and her tummy flipped. He wasn't about to do what she thought he was, surely?

"In our village we believe that every person has only one perfect match. We trust in the spirits to bring the two people together. We joke that the spirits don't like to travel much, because they always seem to match people up from the same village! We're grateful for that though, because it means that the spirits are always here to protect us."

"But in my – our – case, the spirits travelled a long, long way," he continued, then took a deep breath before continuing. His speech was getting faster and faster with the nerves of the situation.

"They brought you here from England not once, but twice. I'm so lucky just to have met you. But... but... I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least ask... will you stay? Will you marry me?"

She wanted to answer, but she was rendered mute. All she could do was nod her head, staring into those beautiful eyes of his, seeing a tear start to well up, fighting back her own tears.

They lay there in each other's arms, the beauty of the clear night sky and its millions of shining stars an irrelevance to them now. All they cared about in the world was each other.

There was something magical about this moment – they were going to get married, spend their whole lives together here in this wonderful village. It was fitting that it had happened here, the same place where she had told him she would be returning to England the previous year. It had been a long year.

Jess started to tug at Theta's robes, wanting to see her future husband in all his glory. He didn't resist. She unwrapped him like a longed for birthday present, and discarded the robes on the ground. She ran her eyes slowly down his body, bathed in the moonlight. She had seen him naked a few weeks ago at the welcoming ceremony, but then he had been in a large group of village men, largely concealed from her. Now she could examine closely once again the body that she had seen only in her fantasies for the previous year.

Theta returned the favour by helping her out of her robes. The tribespeople did not wear underwear, so the removal of her robes left her naked. Theta rolled on top of her, laying her on the thankfully soft ground. The sound of a disturbance made her jump – was someone watching? She turned to see a little rabbit like creature scurrying into the undergrowth.

She giggled nervously.

"Theta – what if... what if someone catches us?" she asked. She didn't think this was the kind of activity that the tribespeople would approve of taking place in public.

Theta gave her a concerned look and started to raise himself up and if he was about to stand.

"You're right," he said. "We shouldn't do this here."

She felt a twinge in her girl bits. Her body didn't want to wait. Besides, wasn't the risk of getting caught part of the fun?

"No!" she protested, a little too sharply.

"No," she continued, softening her tone. "Let's do it here. We'll just have to hope we don't get caught."

She gave him a coy look then giggled a little. This was totally out of character for her; hadn't everything been since she came to the village?

Theta looked for a second like he was going to protest, but then he looked down at her naked body again, her nipples already hardening with excitement. She could see that his cock was already starting to respond too.

Theta smiled at her, then lowered himself again, wrapping his arms around her, bringing his lips to meet hers. Her whole body tingled with anticipation. She wanted to be touched everywhere. They kissed, gently at first, refamiliarising themselves with the feeling of their naked bodies together. She stared into his beautiful eyes, mentally trying to communicate to him how much she loved him, because she knew she couldn't put it into words.

Jess ran her hands down his back, and he bit her lip, quite hard. She winced a little but didn't complain. Her tongue touched his, then she pulled it back. It was strange: for the first time she felt a little shy with him.

Theta's lips separated from hers for just long enough for him to tell her he loved her. A smile spread across her face. He kissed her smile. Their tongues touched again, and this time she built her confidence with him. He took her hand in his, a beautiful romantic gesture.

Her boobs were teasing her now, tingling, demanding to be touched, promising her pleasure if she obliged them. She felt herself gently rubbing her chest against his, which felt so good. Theta seemed to detect her need, and his free hand moved onto her boob, gently exploring it, watching her reaction.

She let out a groan of pleasure, and Theta's smile widened. He gently started to massage her boob, increasing her pleasure. She could feel herself getting warmer and wetter between her legs, her clit starting to respond to her arousal. She wanted so much to be touched down there, but she wanted Theta to do it.

Jess took hold of Theta's cock which was now partially erect. She decided to help him along a bit. Firstly she just held him, enjoying the feeling of touching him there.

"Jess," he breathed, squeezing her boob just a little bit harder.

She teased him, rubbing her hand backwards and forwards so slowly, knowing he'd want it faster but denying him the pleasure, frustrating him. He gave her a knowing smile, then in protest released his grip on her boob, leaving it lonely, demanding attention again.

He rubbed his hands down her side, moving promisingly closer to her aroused vagina, but at the last moment deviating to feel her bottom instead. She decided to take the matter into her own hands, rubbing his ever harder cock against her vaginal lips, letting him feel her wetness, delighting in the reuniting of their private parts.

This increased intimacy made them kiss even more passionately, both now letting out groans as their bodies rewarded them. She pulled back his foreskin and stroked the exposed head of his penis against her clit. They were now both fully aroused, every stroke giving her more ecstasy that the last. She was so wet now, ready to welcome him inside her again.

No words were needed. Despite their short time together, Theta knew her better than anyone else ever had. He took hold of his cock and gently slid it inside her. Jess squeezed her arms hard around his body, delighting in the feeling of having him inside her again.

"You're really wet Jess," he said, smiling.

"Because of you baby," she replied, smiling back.

Theta started to gently thrust in and out, making both himself and Jess moan with pleasure. His breathing was becoming heavier now, faster. Jess tried to time her own breathing to match his, uniting them as one writhing mass.

His hands continued to explore, flooding her brain with tingles of pleasure. In return she massaged his own body, delighting in the knowledge of the pleasure she was giving him.

Everything around them was blocked out now: they could have been anywhere, it didn't matter. All she knew was Theta: her eyes stared into his, her ears delivered his moans of pleasure. All she could smell was his scent, all she could taste was his lips, his tongue. But her fifth sense rewarded her most of all: the feeling of his cock thrusting powerfully deep into her vagina, the touch of his hands against her and hers against him.

She knew that she was close to orgasm, and she could tell that he was too. She didn't want it to end, but she knew this was just the beginning. His breathing was so heavy now, as was hers. She could tell that he was struggling to keep himself from coming, waiting for her to be ready too.

She took his hand and placed it between her legs, remembering how his hand had felt on her clit.

It was just as good – no, better – than it had been last time. Her whole private area was on fire, the flames of pleasure radiating down her thighs and up into her tummy. She knew that in just a few seconds she would have the most lovely orgasm.

"Ou'le?"

A voice broke through the wall she had built between her and the outside world. A shock of panic went through Jess' body, competing with the pleasure, fighting it.

"Ou'le?"

Louder, closer. The thrusting between her legs continued, still feeling amazing. Frustration joined the other two feelings competing for space. She couldn't come now. There was someone here.

"Ou'le?"

Even Theta noticed it now. With a look of great reluctance on his face he pulled out his engorged cock and then jumped to his feet, the alertness of his inner hunter taking over immediately.

"Someone's coming!" he whispered, somewhat unnecessarily.

He helped Jess to her feet quickly, then holding her hand quickly started to make off in the opposite direction to the voice.

"Ou'le?"

Jess' whole body was incredibly sensitive from the cocktail of sexual pleasure and outright panic. She could feel every little stone, every twig she stepped on. She could feel the tightness of Theta's grip on her hand. She brushed past a prickly tree and each little thorn felt like a tiny knife.




The Coming of Age Ceremony Ch. 02



She looked at Theta, feeling once again that trust she had felt a year ago as he led her off into the unknown. She knew that he would protect her. Nothing bad would happen whilst she was with him. Only good things. Very good things. She looked down as his cock. It was still half erect, almost ready for action should that be called for. She could feel that her own bits had kept themselves primed too.

After a few minutes the voice had vanished into the distance and they could hear it no more. They stopped running. They were in an area thick with trees, the canopy entirely blocking out the moonlight from above.

Jess felt Theta wrap his arms around her naked body, bringing himself close to her, kissing her. Her barely suppressed passions were fully aroused again; her body ached for him to once again be inside her. His hand found its way between her legs, massaging her clit, sending warm pleasure through her body. She returned the favour, holding his cock tightly and thrusting hard.

Theta grabbed her body tightly and manoeuvred her backwards slightly, pressing her back against a conveniently placed tree. She felt the rough bark against her back, her enlivened skin intensifying the feeling, overwhelming her brain. Theta pressed her hard, wrapping himself around her, taking control of the situation. Any worry of being caught was gone now. So what if they were found? All that mattered was having Theta inside her again.

He slipped his cock back inside her, her body welcoming it, demanding it. The frustration was not quite gone yet; it still ached, still demanded resolution. Each thrust pushed her closer towards her climax.

His hand was back between her legs, playing with her clit, knowing what she needed. She had lost all composure now, breathing heavily, moaning, demanding he take her harder and faster.

She felt his cock twitch inside her and heard him emit a deep moan of satisfaction. She was so close now, so close. A few more thrusts. And then... Her entire body was alive with pleasure. She felt weak with the pleasure – had Theta not been pressing her body hard against the tree she would almost certainly have collapsed onto the floor. She felt so perfectly happy, the frustration and the arousal clearing immediately and being replaced by sheer ecstasy.

How long Theta held her for after that she was never sure. She felt closer to him than she had ever felt to anyone. Her future husband. The one she was going to spend forever with.

***

Zeta walked into the clearing and saw the discarded robes on the floor. She smiled. The couple must have left in a hurry once they heard her coming. She wondered who it had been that she had disturbed.

Zeta walked over to the robes closest to her and picked them up. She appraised them with an expert eye. Making robes was a traditional duty of the tribeswomen, and Zeta was known as one of the best robe-makers in the entire village.

Each woman had her own signature: a pattern or design that instantly identified to a trained eye a set of robes as being made by her. Zeta had no difficulty recognising who had made these robes. They were one of her own creations.

And – her smile broadened – she remembered exactly who she had made these robes for. She remembered Theta arriving at her hut early one morning in a state of evident excitement. He had spoken so quickly that she had struggled to keep up with what he was saying. She had just about made out that Jess, that lovely girl from England who had come to stay with the tribe the previous summer, was returning. Theta had wanted to give her a present and had come to Zeta to ask for her help.

Zeta had spent many hours on making sure that these robes were perfect for their returning visitor. She had finished them just in time for the welcoming ceremony. She remembered taking them to Theta. He was so excited about seeing Jess again. He had planned to give the robes to Jess straight after the ceremony.

She remembered the look on Theta's face when Jess had arrived with Stu. She had so hoped that Jess and Theta would end up together again – they made a lovely couple. And this seemed like pretty clear evidence that they had very much made up.

Zeta's favourite event of the year – the wedding ceremony – was coming around soon. Zeta's skills were always much in demand for producing the wedding robes. No bride would get married in robes made by anybody else.

Zeta always planned the designs months ahead: all of the brides had to have their own unique designs but all the designs had to work together as well. With four brides she had designed the dresses around the four seasons: one girl's dress would represent spring, one summer, one autumn, one winter.

Now it looked like she was going to have to start all over again: she guessed – and she wasn't often wrong about these things – that she was now going to be making dresses for five brides.



The Coming of Age Ceremony



Chi looked over at the girls, and his eyes seemed to focus on Sigma. Sigma did not notice as her eyes were still focussed on his crotch. Jess nudged Sigma a little, and Sigma looked at her, seemingly annoyed to be distracted. Jess gestured with her head towards Chi, and Sigma looked over. Upon seeing that Chi was looking at her, Sigma blushed and looked away. Finally Chi returned to his place, but Jess noticed that his penis seemed to have grown a little since she first saw it. She really hoped for Sigma that Chi was hoping to be with her by the end of the day.

Theta was last of the boys, so Jess had to wait for one more boy to be inducted into adulthood before she got to see Theta approach the centre. He looked very nervous -- Jess knew that he did not like to be the centre of attention. Though Jess did not understand what was being chanted, she had by now got a good impression of what it should sound like, and it was clear that Theta kept tripping over his words. Every so often he would glance over at her, and she would give him an encouraging smile. Finally the time to disrobe came. He stood there for ages, tugging at his robe but not removing it. Some disquiet started to arise around the circle. Finally he glanced over at Jess. Jess herself was starting to get frustrated at the wait to see him naked, but tried to give him another encouraging smile.

Still focussed on her, he finally removed his robes and let them fall to the floor. Jess was rather embarrassed to admire his body when he was watching her, and kept focussed on his face, as much as she wanted to look down.

It was Sigma's turn to nudge Jess now.

"You can look down -- I'm sure he won't mind," she whispered.

Jess let her desires get the better of her reticence, and looked down his body. He was clearly very strong and fit, and his penis was nothing to be ashamed of either. There was something particularly exciting about seeing Theta's private parts. She wasn't only physically attracted to him, but she really liked his personality too. In different circumstances, had she not been leaving the tribe, he would have been a perfect boyfriend. Seeing this boy she felt very attracted to both physically and emotionally naked was thrilling.

She realised now that she hadn't touched herself since she arrived in the village. She was used to having a room to herself at home and could play with herself in private whenever she wanted. But here all the huts consisted of one room shared with the whole family, so she hadn't had any privacy. She could feel her private parts begging to be touched and pleasured, and was glad that in a few days she would be leaving the village and be able to relive all this excitement in the privacy of her own room.

Finally Theta retired back to his side of the circle, and it was the girls' turn to go through the ceremonial induction to adulthood. Again each walked up in turn, exchanged chants with the elder, and then nervously dropped their robes. Soon there were three naked girls -- no, they had come of age now, they were women now -- sitting close to Sigma and Jess, clearly fighting the urge to cover up their bodies.

Finally it was Sigma's turn. She looked at Jess for encouragement, and Jess smiled back. She felt a little bad that she was able to sit there and just watch while the other girls had to go through the embarrassment of the very public strip, but knew that this was a long held tradition that everyone in the village had to endure once in their life.

Sigma chanted loudly and confidently, and at the conclusion removed her robes. Sigma was so private that even though she had spent much of the last month with Jess, and they had shared a room and bathed together in the local lake, Jess had still never seen her naked. The revealing of her body showed that it matched her face in terms of attractiveness: she was slim and well proportioned. Jess had noticed both at the initial welcoming event and today that all the women in the village appeared to have large breasts, but Sigma had the largest chest she had seen whilst she had been in the village. It was normally concealed by her robes, and Jess was sure it would be a big plus on her side if any of the boys were still undecided as to which girl to select.

Jess looked over at Chi, who clearly had his eyes very much fixed upon her naked body, and saw that his penis seemed to be very much more erect than before. Finally Sigma came to sit back down, and as she approached Jess noticed another interesting feature about her body. Unlike the other girls, whose pubic hair was natural and very thick, Sigma's crotch was entirely bare. Sigma blushed when Jess pointed this out, and explained that she had once heard Chi say that he did not find body hair on girls attractive in the least.

The elder in the centre of the circle seemed to be waiting for something, and all eyes were now turned on Jess. For a second she wondered why, then she realised. They were expecting her to participate in the ceremony too.

She started to shake her head violently and started to protest to Sigma, but Sigma dismissed her complaints.

"Come on Jess," she said, nicely but firmly. "We've all done it. We all found it incredibly embarrassing, but we all did it. It's a once in a lifetime event, for you as much as for us. You'll regret it if you don't do it."

Jess continued to protest, but her protests started to weaken. She had been made to feel so much a part of the tribe over the last month, and to exclude herself now from their most important ceremony seemed rather rude.

"But... I don't know what to chant!" she protested.

Sigma reassured her that the elder would help her.

Nervously Jess walked towards the elder. An anticipatory silence fell around the village.

Jess remembered how to begin, and gave a little bow of her head to the elder. The elder broke his stern expression for a moment to give her an encouraging smile. He then began his chanting.

After the chant had come to an end Jess stood there wondering what to do next. She tried to remember what the others had chanted. She remembered how the beginning went and started, rather nervously. The elder smiled encouragingly again. As she started to waiver, the elder whispered the correct words to her, and she was able to carry on. Finally her chant was done. The elder tugged on his robes.

This was the moment Jess had been dreading. She looked over at the male contingent, and the five naked men who had endured the ceremony before her. She looked back at the females, and the village's newest four women, all completely naked also. Jess had always been very insecure about her body. She had always been very flat chested growing up, and although to her relief her breasts had filled out a little in recent years, they were still on the smaller side, and were dwarfed by those of the tribal women. She never even normally wore particularly revealing clothes, but now she was facing being completely naked in front of the whole village, ranging from friends to those she didn't know at all. 

She took a deep breath and dropped her robes, exposing her body completely. A chant went up from around the circle, seemingly even louder and more enthusiastic that it had been for any of the previous participants. All eyes were on her exposed body. It was a novelty to the tribe, her fair skin. Her chest was a particular source of interest, both because of its size and proportions. The tribal women all had large nipples and areolas, whereas Jess' were small and tight. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were exploring her body all over, from head to foot. The pairs of eyes she saw focussed on her crotch were particularly embarrassing. She had never expected anyone other than a boyfriend to see her down there.

Just as she was forbidden by tribal custom from hiding her body, so were the men who had already been disrobed. Their still exposed crotches gave away their excitement at seeing this spectacle. Every single one of them now had an erection. Jess was incredibly flattered at this sight. Her insecurities about her body melted away. She couldn't believe that she was here, thousands of miles from home, standing completely naked in front of the entire village.

Again she started to get aroused by the experience, but hoped that nobody could tell. She subconsciously clenched her legs together tightly, determined that nobody would notice her increasing moistness between them. Sexual excitement had always been something private for her before, something that happened when she lay on her bed, pyjama bottoms round her ankles, playing with herself and fantasising. She had never before been in such a sexually charged environment, never had such a problem keeping her sexual feelings under control in public.

She retreated back to the group on women, and Sigma gave her a hug and congratulated her.

"You are now a woman," she told her.

It was strange, but she really did feel like one. She really did feel different, like some invisible barrier had been passed. She could fully understand how this ceremony prepared the village boys and girls for adulthood and marriage. Before today she hadn't felt like she would be ready for either a long term relationship or sex for a long time, but now she almost wished that she was one of the other women, looking forward to starting a lifetime relationship with one of the men on the other side of the circle. If only she was staying, maybe her friendship with Theta could have become something more.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a nudge from Sigma. Something was happening. The five men had now lined up on the other side of the circle, each sporting a full erection.

"This is a symbol of their fertility," whispered Sigma. "They prove that they can get an erection to prove that they will be suitable for marriage and fathering children."

There was a sense of expectation throughout the crowd.

"This is the point where we go and select our future husband," Sigma whispered, her voice trembling with nerves. "We approach our desired man and take hold of his... thing and start to massage it. If the man wishes to marry us, he will allow us to continue, and will attempt to..."

She struggled for the word.

"Finish -- you know?" she asked.

Jess nodded mutely, her excitement growing as the overtly sexual nature of the event's climax was explained.

"If he finishes, that proves that he is able to... you know... perform his duties as a husband for that woman, and the two will be betrothed. If he can't, the two can never be together."

"And -- what if he doesn't want the woman? What if he wants a different one?" Jess asked.

"Then he has to stop the woman touching him straight away -- he must remove her hand," Sigma explained. "That's the sign that he is not prepared to marry her."

"And if two women want the same man...?" Jess asked.

"Then it is a matter of who can grab him first!" exclaimed Sigma. "You will see quite a race when we are told we can go!"

One of the elders approached and said something in the native language. Almost immediately the four women stood and raced over to the men. There was a fair amount of pushing and shoving, but Jess was delighted to see Sigma get hold of Chi's giant cock. Her hand started pumping it furiously -- she was clearly determined to make him cum before he could change his mind.

Two of the other woman looked disappointed at their failure to grab hold of the most coveted asset, but they both quickly found another man to pleasure. The fourth woman had no hesitation in approaching one of the remaining men, and he seemed delighted to have been selected by her. None of the men made any attempt to resist the pleasuring of their penises by the women. Jess realised that they would all be terrified of being left as the one without a partner by the end of the night.

That indignity fell to Theta. As four naked woman pumped away at four throbbing cocks he stood there on his own, looking entirely dejected, his erect cock already starting to shrink as the disappointment set in. Jess felt incredibly bad for the man who had become her best friend within the village. She couldn't understand why he had been left out. If it had been her choice, if she had been one of the tribal women, she would have been racing towards him as quickly as she could.

Suddenly, without giving herself chance for a second thought, that is exactly what she did. She stood and raced across the circle towards Theta, grabbing his cock in her hand. The other women broke off from their own work for a few seconds to witness with surprise this unusual turn of events. The expression on Theta's face turned from crushing disappointment to a massive smile. Jess would worry tomorrow about the implications of this rash decision -- right now, there was only one thing on her mind.

Soon a cheer went up from around the group. Chi had orgasmed and his cum and shot directly onto Sigma's huge breasts. Both Chi and Sigma had a look of considerable satisfaction and happiness on their faces -- Jess knew that this was much more than just a hand job -- they were now betrothed; they would now spend the rest of their lives as husband and wife. It made her pause for a second -- she knew that in pleasuring Theta she was causing a massive problem for herself tomorrow, but she didn't care. She would worry about that then.

His cock became fully erect again almost immediately after she started massaging it, and soon she could see his pre-cum glistening on the head. She had never seen a man orgasm before -- she hadn't even seen Chi orgasm as she had been so focussed on Theta's cock at the time. She so much wanted to see him orgasm now, as soon as possible. She could feel herself getting increasingly wet between her legs and hoped that he would be returning the favour later.

Two more men reached climax, but Jess hardly noticed. She was focussed on one man only. She could hear him moaning in satisfaction, saying words in his native language of which she could guess the meaning. She continued to massage his shaft, desperately hoping she was doing the right thing. Then it happened. A shot of cum flew out of the tip and onto her body, landing on her stomach. She hoped there was more. She wanted to be covered in it. She knelt down a little and aimed him squarely at her breasts. She was rewarded with another spurt, which hit her left nipple as accurately as he had hit the centre of the target with his arrow earlier during the archery.

She squeezed every last drop onto her body, then looked up at him. She had never seen a man so happy. She had never been so happy either.

One final orgasm from the man standing next to Theta brought the ceremony to an end. Every woman had found her man, and every man had proved himself worthy of being a husband. Four new couples had been created.

Sigma approached Jess hurriedly, breasts still covered in her new fiancé's semen. She took Jess away from the group.

"What are you doing?" she asked, seeming to be quite angry.

"The same as all of you," Jess smiled back, unsure as to why Sigma was so angry.

"But you are now betrothed to Theta, you know that?!" exclaimed Sigma. "How do you think he will feel when you leave the village in a few days time?"

"He... he understands," said Jess, a little uncertain now.

"No he doesn't!" replied Sigma. "He thinks you are to be his wife! Everyone does!"

Jess was a little downcast by this revelation, but was in no mood to have her bubble burst now.

"So what happens next in the ceremony?" she asked, trying to avoid the main issue.

"That's it, it's over," said Sigma, still clearly angry. "Each couple will be given a new hut by the elders, and now we retire to them with our new fiancé's to... you know... celebrate."

"You mean... have full sex?" Jess asked.

"Yes," blushed Sigma.

"Do... do Theta and I get a hut?" asked Jess, hopefully.

"Yes!" exclaimed Sigma, angry again, "because everyone thinks you are betrothed!"

Jess wasn't worried about anything else now. She would sort everything out in the morning. Right now, it was time for her and Theta to retire to their hut.

***

Before Sigma could raise any further objection, Jess walked away, back to Theta. He looked to be in shock at the strange turn of events, but on seeing her his face broke out into a wide smile. His smile was one of her favourite features. He always seemed to smile when he saw her. She made him happy, she knew that, everyone knew that.

Instinctively she threw her arms around him, pressing her naked body against his, pressing her lips to his. In the moment their lips touched she remembered that this was the first time they had kissed. She hardly knew what to do, so little experience did she have even of this, but her instincts took over. She kissed him with all her passion, blocking out the crowds around them, knowing it was only him and her in the world.

It was Theta who broke the kiss. She looked at him, slightly indignantly, wondering why he had ended their shared pleasure, a moment she had wanted to continue forever. Theta took her hand and started to lead her through the crowd, which divided to let them pass. Jess looked from side to side and saw that all eyes were on them. They were engulfed in hundreds of whispers from all around. She looked behind her and saw Sigma staring at her, stony faced, so annoyed that she was even ignoring her own prize.

As they broke free from the crowd Theta started to pick up pace, so that they were almost running through the village. As they left the central circle the light from the burning torches faded and they were enshrouded in darkness. Soon she couldn't make out even the ground at her feet, but she let Theta lead, knowing that she would be safe for as long as she held on to him.

Theta was taking her away from the part of the village she knew, the part she had lived in up to now, and into a part of the village she did not even know existed. Most of the huts they passed were empty, their inhabitants obviously still at the ceremony, still talking about the white girl who had betrothed herself to one of their number.

Finally Jess saw a pinprick of light in the distance. They were now running, heading towards the light as fast as their legs would carry them. As they approached, Sigma could see that the light was coming from two torches outside one of the huts.

The hut was different to all the rest. It had been elaborately decorated all over with pictures of men hunting improbably sized wild creatures. She knew that this was Theta's hut, the place where the expert hunter could bring home his prey.

Outside was a trough full of water, and as they reached it, Theta stopped.

"There is a tradition that we follow when we bring our future spouse home for the first time," Theta explained.

"To symbolise our purity and virginity we wash each other clean with the water before we enter our new hut."

Theta bent down and dipped his hand in the water. He brought it towards her, and rubbed it over her stomach, wiping off the dried cum, the physical reminder of what had happened a short time before. The cold water made Jess jump a little, and for the first time she realised that there was a late evening chill in the air. The coldness reminded her of their nakedness.

What a strange situation she found herself in. This shy girl from England who had never even been touched before, about to lose her virginity thousands of miles from home to a boy she had never even been on so much as a date with, in a strange tribal ritual that she knew nothing of.

She felt Theta's hands on her again, now on her bare breasts, gently massaging the cold water into them. She looked at him, his face lit up with the happiest expression she had ever seen on it. He focussed diligently on his task, leaving not an inch of her upper body unwashed. His caressing of her was clumsy and inexpert, his inexperience obvious, but his love and care for her obvious. He was clearly not just enjoying touching a pair of breasts, he was enjoying the fact that they were her breasts.




The Coming of Age Ceremony



Next he moved on to her legs, washing each thoroughly, clearly enjoying the sensation of touching her bare skin. Her body started to acclimatise to the temperature of the water, the gentle breeze beginning to feel soothing against her bare skin. The touch of his rugged hands reminded her of his skill at hunting, and she remembered how safe she had felt running into the unknown in his company.

Jess started to relax again, and started to enjoy her ceremonial washing. By now she knew that only one part of her body remained to be washed, and she was starting to look forward to it.

Having taken an age to wash her feet, Theta looked up at her and blushed. He knelt there silent, looking like he was looking for the right words for his next request. Jess understood. She positioned herself so that her legs were apart, giving Theta access to that last forbidden part of her body.

Theta's smile grew even wider. He washed his hands thoroughly in the trough, then dipped them in one final time to cover them in water. He placed his right hand between her legs, touching her where she had never been touched before. The coldness of the water against her private parts made her jump a little, and Theta stopped, a concerned look crossing his face.

"Do you not want me touching you there?" he asked.

Jess thought for a second. This was her last chance to stop things before they went too far. Then again, had they not already gone too far?

"Yes... yes," she giggled, "it was just cold, that's all."

She looked him straight in the eyes.

"I'd love you to touch me there," she said.

He dipped his hand in the water again, then turned to look at her, seemingly unsure of what to do. Theta seemed to be taking an age to pluck up the courage, and frustration started to well up inside her. She had had to go through the sexually charged coming of age ceremony without any opportunity to pleasure herself, and now she really needed an opportunity to release her pent up desires.

Finally Theta reached out and placed his hand between her legs, and this time she didn't jump. She had always worried about what her first time with a boy would be like, her first time being touched, but this just felt right. He started to rub up and down her lips, but frustratingly never reached quite high enough to touch her clit. With her own hand, she gently manoeuvred his hand upwards, and was rewarded immediately as her sensitive clit responded to his touch.

Then he stopped. Frustration immediately welled up inside her again. After a month without being able to play with herself, after all the events of the day, she didn't want to wait any longer.

"You have to wash me," Theta explained. "Then we can go inside."

He blushed slightly at the thought of what was to happen next. Jess giggled at their shared inexperience. She was glad that it was his first time too. She knew that it would be as special for him as it would be for her.

Jess dipped her own hands in the trough and then started to run them over Theta's muscular upper body. Her own body was telling her to get this over as soon as possible so that she could enter the hut and get back to being touched, but a small part of her brain told her to make it last, to enjoy every second of the experience. Whatever happened tomorrow, today would be one of the most special days of her life.

She ran her hands all over his chest, all over his handsome face, up and down his strong arms and legs. She was amazed that none of the other girls in the village had chosen him, but their loss was her gain. She took in every detail of his naked body, appraising it in a way she had never viewed a male body before. Jess had always been a girl who thought personality mattered more than looks, but her body was telling her that looks could be a very nice bonus.

Finally there was only one part of his body remaining to be washed. Jess wet her hands in the trough once more, and fixed her eyes on his penis. It was starting to grow again; not yet fully erect, but certainly starting to prepare itself for its upcoming task.

Jess thought back to earlier in the central circle when she had touched him for the first time. It had all happened so quickly she had hardly had an opportunity to think about it. She was determined to concentrate more closely this time. Taking hold of his manhood she slowly pulled back the foreskin, taking in every detail with willing eyes. His penis responded to her touch, growing once again towards that impressive size.

She looked up at Theta. There was no need for words in any language. A mutual understanding formed between them, and both headed together into the hut.

Jess looked around the hut, lit by a single flickering lantern. Theta had already moved his things into the hut, but there was a large empty space. She understood instantly what it was for. It was her space. Theta could not have known which girl would choose him, and could not even have hoped that the English girl would choose to participate so fully in the ceremony. This was their home now.

And there it was, in the middle of the hut -- their bed. Like the bed she had been sleeping on for the past month, it was a simple affair: little more than a mattress stuffed with straw. Jess looked at Theta, wondering what happened next, hoping that he would take control and make the first move.

Theta moved close to her, looking straight in her eyes.

"I may never have been further than the next village," Theta told her, softly, "but I know that you must be the most beautiful girl in the world."

He wrapped his arms around her, and their lips met in a passionate kiss. He manoeuvred her slowly and gently towards the rudimentary mattress, their naked bodies pressed tight together.

They collapsed onto the mattress together, Theta on top, taking control. They continued to kiss, but now their hands explored each other's bodies. Jess felt her breathing quicken, and could feel her whole body growing more sensitive to his touch. She could feel her girl parts between her legs once again begging for stimulation.

Theta parted his lips from hers and moved them down onto her neck, running a line of kisses down her body. As he reached her breasts, he paused for a second to contemplate them.

"You have perfect..."

He searched for the right word, but clearly intimate body parts had not been part of his English course.

"Boobs," Jess supplied.

"You have perfect boobs," Theta smiled.

Jess blushed slightly.

"Thanks," she said, somewhat shyly.

Theta planted a kiss on each of her nipples, which gave Jess a feeling of pleasure much more intense than she had expected.

"More," she said.

Theta kissed her left nipple again, then slowly started to run his tongue around it. The feeling was amazing, and was enhanced by the view; her strong hunter fiancé tenderly running his tongue around her nipple, all in the flickering light of the lantern. Outside she heard the call of some exotic bird. This was all like some kind of fantasy, but the sensations emanating from her nipple told her it was real.

Theta moved on down her body, building her anticipation. Finally, just as he was about to reach the important bit, he stopped.

"Is it OK if I kiss your..."

Again he tailed off, his otherwise excellent English language skills deserting him.

Jess giggled. She'd never discussed "down there" with even her closest friends. She didn't really know what she wanted him to call it.

"I call it my va-jay-jay," she said, giggling nervously again.

"Is it OK if I kiss your va-jay-jay?" he asked, smiling reassuringly at her.

She nodded.

She watched as he pressed his lips against her clit, the feeling sending a tingle of pleasure through her already aroused body. He planted another kiss, a longer kiss this time, slightly lower down. He looked up as her. In the flickering light she could see that he had some of her juices on his lips.

Although she could have let him kiss her there forever, she wanted his big strong arms around her again. She gently beckoned him to come back up her body, and he did so, kissing her all the way up, on her tummy, on her breasts, on her neck, and finally once again on her lips. He wrapped himself around her, holding her tight.

Jess could feel her heart racing in excitement and anticipation at what was coming next. Their bodies were pressed close together, and she could feel his erect cock pressing against her body, its tip moistened by his pre-cum. She had never felt so close to a boy -- no, they had come of age: he was a man now, and she a woman -- as she did now.

"I'm ready," she whispered to him.

She hoped he knew what to do, because she didn't. She understood the theory, but now that it came to do it for real, she felt clueless.

Theta kissed her again. She closed her eyes, kissed back, lost herself in the sensation. She hardly noticed as he pushed the head of his penis against her vagina. As he started to enter her, she felt it. She had expected it to feel horrible, but it wasn't an unpleasant feeling. Just weird.

Theta said something to her in words that she did not at first recognise. It was his own native language, the language of the tribe. Then, from somewhere in the back of her mind came a flicker of recognition.

"I love you too," she replied.

He entered her so slowly, so gently. Any discomfort she felt was drowned out by the love she felt for him in that moment. She would let him do anything to her, do anything he asked of her.

The sensation of movement between her legs stopped, leaving her with just the feeling of being full.

"Is it all in?" she whispered. He nodded.

"It feels..." She searched for a word that described how it felt, but couldn't find one in any language.

"It feels nice," she said, giving up on her search.

Theta said something else to her in his language, words that she couldn't hope to translate, but which she knew the meaning of all the same. Love was a language of its own, a language which transcended mere words. She wished that she could stay in this moment forever.

She felt him start to pull himself out of her and immediately wanted him back in again. He obliged by pushing it back in, a bit harder and faster this time. Jess took a sharp intake of breath. Theta looked concerned. Jess kissed him.

"It's OK, baby, just a bit weird," she said.

Theta started to gently thrust in and out, making her vagina tingle with pleasure. Slowly she began to get used to the feeling of being penetrated, and she could feel his passage become easier as her vagina moistened and stretched to make way for him. She could see the pleasure on Theta's face, feel his growing confidence in his thrusts. She stared into his eyes, trying to communicate her total trust and submission.

Her clit ached for attention, and she wanted to rub it so much, but she wanted even more for it to receive attention from Theta.

"Baby," she breathed, and took hold of his hand. He willingly let her guide him. She placed it in the right place, then whispered, "rub there."

It took Theta a few seconds to coordinate both the penetration and the rubbing, and for a few seconds frustration welled up inside her as both became irregular. Part of her wanted to jump on top of him and take control, but she knew that she had to let him be the boss. She wanted her man to be in control.

With hand and cock finally coordinated, Theta gave her a feeling like she had never experienced before. This wasn't like playing with herself in the bedroom at home, this was something completely different. His smell, the warmth of his body, the shining of his eyes, the sound of his heavy breathing and gasps of pleasure. His cock thrusting in and out, his balls hitting her body with every thrust, his fingers making her clit tingle.

With his free hand he grabbed her boob forcefully. She gasped but didn't resist. She was his to do with as he liked. She grabbed his bum and squeezed back. She gave him a playful spank.

Suddenly she felt his cock twitch inside her, and along with the expression on his face and the moan that emitted from his beautiful lips she knew that he had had his orgasm. It felt wonderful knowing that she had given her man the ultimate pleasure, and a tingly feeling ran through her body too.

Afterwards they lay there for ages in each other's arms, not wanting the most perfect day, the most perfect night, to ever end. The feeling of their naked bodies together felt so natural. She had enjoyed her first time more than she ever thought she would, and she knew she had Theta to thank for that. She stared into his beautiful eyes, feeling nothing but total trust and love for him.

***

Jess woke up to a number of unfamiliar sensations and for a minute she couldn't tell if she was still dreaming or not. The early morning light illuminated a hut with which she was not familiar. The gentle snores emitting from close beside her convinced her that she was not yet fully awake. She could feel an arm around her. Her lovely fantasy from her last dream had clearly not quite gone away yet.

She absent mindedly ran her hand down the back of her lifelike apparition. The very real sensation that her hand returned convinced her that she was not dreaming. Last night really had happened.

Memories from the previous night came flooding back now, and she began to get aroused once more, encouraged by the thought of what her sleeping lover would do to her when he awoke.

She could feel his limp manhood pressed against her leg, and she looked forward to the moment when she would again help him to get it erect.

Suddenly she had a thought. She carefully removed his hand from around her body, doing her best not to wake him, then, as subtly as she could, she lowered herself down his body.

She started by gently kissing her way up and down his shaft, treating it for the pleasure it had given her the night before. She didn't really know what to do next, but she started to lick along the length of his manhood, which was now starting to respond to her attention. She heard a gentle moan from above, and looked up, but could see that his eyes were still closed and he appeared to still be asleep.

She decided that she was going to have to try a bit harder to wake him up and gently took hold of his manhood. She started to massage it, remembering the pleasure that doing so had given him at the coming of age ceremony yesterday. Another appreciative sound emitted from Theta's lips, and he now started to stir.

Jess gently allowed the tip of his growing cock to enter her mouth, gradually getting used to the new experience. She felt Theta's arms moving round, feeling for her, brushing against her shoulders, stroking the back of her head. His affectionate touch encouraged her to let him enter her mouth further.

She let his cock slide out of her mouth and looked up at him, his eyes now open, enjoying the view. As their eyes met they both shared a giggle at Jess' chosen method of waking her lover.

Jess decided to put on a show for her beloved and ran her tongue up his erect cock, keeping her eyes fixed on his face to witness his enjoyment. After a few more licks she let him enter her mouth again, and heard him draw in a long breath in anticipation. 

She gently slid his cock in and out of her mouth, using her hand to apply pressure. She knew it would not be long before he came: she could taste his pre-cum, could feel the glowing warmth of his shaft and its fully erect size. She could also feel her own parts aching to be touched again, and suddenly the teasing part of her personality broke through her arousal. Just as she was sure that he was about to cum she slid him out of her mouth and let go.

Theta looked at her, confused and then almost angry that he had been denied the incredible orgasm he had just been about to enjoy.

"Baby," Jess said, smiling at him and attempting her best sexy but cute voice, "why don't you kiss me down there for a bit, then we'll do something... special to finish?"

The promise of "something special" seemed to placate him a bit, though he still looked frustrated to have had his pleasure deferred.

Theta once again kissed his way tenderly down her body. This morning she felt so much more relaxed than she had done last night, and she realised how tense she must have been then, though she had not noticed at the time. Each kiss gave a little tinge of pleasure emanating from where it had been carefully planted.

Finally he reached her tummy, then kissed down onto her left leg, onto her inner thigh. He kept kissing down her leg, away from her bits. She looked at him a little confused and frustrated. The kissing was nice, but she had been ready for something a bit more intimate. Then he looked up at her, and the smile on his face explained everything: he had been teasing her in the way she had just teased him.

Eventually he allowed his lips to meet those between her legs, planting gentle kisses which sent tingles through her body. Then he started to use his tongue to please her. It was the best thing she had ever felt. He flicked his tongue across her vulva, teasing her by pushing it as far as the opening of her vagina without ever quite penetrating her. He had learnt of the importance of her clit from his previous night's experience and made sure that it received plenty of attention too.

She made sure to let him know how he was making her feel. "Mmm... yeah... baby... mmm... yeah, there... yes..." She gasped and moaned and just let herself do what felt right. She wanted him to know how fantastic he was making her feel.

She would have loved to lie there and have him do that to her forever, but she remembered her promise to him. She was ready to have him on top of her again as she had the previous night, but then a memory came back to her. She had once walked in on her best friend in flagrante with a boy. Though she had left the room as quickly as she could, she had just had time to make out the position they were in -- her friend on her hands and knees, her boyfriend knelt behind her. She had always wanted to try it when she had a boyfriend of her own, and she didn't know when she would next get the opportunity if she didn't try it now.

Jess smiled at Theta then got herself into the same position she had seen her friend in that day. She looked up at Theta who seemed unsure as to what to do.

"Use your imagination," she said, smiling at him.

He looked at her somewhat confused for a second. She gave a little jolt of her head to indicate that he should be behind her. She watched as a smile started to spread across his face. As he disappeared behind her she stole a quick glance as his still erect cock, knowing that she would soon be feeling it inside her.

A few seconds later she felt his cock being pushed against her vagina and took a deep breath as she felt him enter her. It wasn't a familiar feeling yet, but at least she knew what to expect.

"Mmm, that feels lovely baby," she said as she felt him fill her up.

She felt Theta take hold of her around the waist and remembered that this was exactly how her friend's boyfriend had been holding her. There was something especially exciting about reliving that moment with her in the action, not just catching a stolen glance.

She could feel him going deeper than he had managed the night before and she knew that would take some getting used to.

"Gently, baby," she implored.

He did as he was told, thrusting slowly at first, allowing her to reacquaint herself with the sensation. She missed being able to stare into his eyes, but she loved the submission of the position; she loved her man being in control.

Theta used his hands to explore her body, playing with her boobs, rubbing her clit, even giving her a back massage. Jess could feel herself edging closer to her first orgasm since she had arrived in the village.
