She jumped back from the sinful—if happy—cock guiltily as Rojan scrambled to stuff it back into his pants. And then Bajoc and Rojan were off to the side, whispering and gesturing wildly, while she was stuck staring at a mortified Marcie.
“Sorry,” Marcie mumbled. “We were just going for a walk and heard moaning. We thought someone needed help...”
“I lost my virginity.” Joy leaned in to whisper excitedly. She wanted so badly to tell someone, she didn’t even care about the embarrassing situation of getting caught in the act.
“You did what? When?” Marcie looked baffled.
“I have been deflowered. Just now. You saw us.”
“Sweetie, how could you lose your virginity when you’re still clothed?”
Now Joy felt as baffled as Marcie looked. “Oh, is that a requirement? I didn’t know.”
“Honey, did Jannie explain how you lose your virginity?”
“Yes. To think of it as bubblegum. Except it’s not pink. And to blow on it.”
“I’m not sure what that means...but obviously, something got lost in translation. Because trust me, you are still a virgin.”
“I am?” Joy was aware her voice sounded crestfallen.
“Definitely. Remember, you have to both be naked to lose your virginity. Look, I think you better head to Jannie’s and sneak in another lesson...”
“Oh, I just got one,” Joy assured her. “I hadn’t even thought of it, so distracted I was by Rojan. In fact, I was on my way home to relay it to my sisters...”
“Good, good,” Marcie said, relieved. “Focus on that.”
Suddenly Bajoc and Rojan were there, and Joy wasn’t sure which one looked more embarrassed. Neither warrior would meet her eye.
“Joy..sie.” Bajoc cleared his throat. “Are you alright, Jo? I was just explaining to Rojan that outside in plain daylight is not a place to bring such a delicate female and expose her to the elements...”
Marcie laughed. “Bajoc, who are you trying to fool? You and I were caught by the Supreme Commander and Pariah in an even further state of undress than Rojan and Josie were.”
Bajoc squirmed as Rojan’s eyes narrowed at his friend. “Do tell,” Rojan said, through tight lips.
“It was a very compromising situation. Nothing was left to the imagination. In fact, I seem to recall Pariah fainted at the sight. So you two have nothing to be embarrassed about. Trust me, been there, did that. And did it worse. Now, come along, husband. Let’s finish our walk so these two can get on their way.”
She pulled the larger man along as he grumbled in the distance, his voice growing fainter. “Marcie, did you have to tell I was completely naked? I was trying to make a point to Rojan...”
Rojan, on the other hand, still looked grim. His beautiful lips were pressed into a grim line. “Jo, I’m sorry. I keep screwing up around you. I won’t embarrass you further.” Without another word, Rojan stalked off.
Did he seriously just walk away?
“Rojan?” She called out after him. “Where are you going?”
“I’ll watch from a distance to make sure you get home safely. But until I pick you up later for our date, I’ll stay out of the way. I won’t compromise you further.” He stalked off without giving her another word.
Great God of the Turgid Man-sword. Did he know she was so bumbling in her sexual education that she’d mistakenly thought she’d lost her virginity by blowing on his cock? She clenched her eyes in humiliation. The damp area between her thighs was a shameful reminder of the unfinished business between them.
She refused to let loose a sob though. No, he would hear that. She would be a brave little human and hold it in. That’s what humans would do.
She had no idea how she managed to stumble the rest of the way home. She practically ran the last few feet and burst into her front door.
“Sisters!” she screamed at the top of her lungs.
The pattering of feet echoed down the wooden hallways as they approached from all sides of the house in the stiletto heels they liked to wear indoors.
“What?” Tris asked.
“What is it?” Virginia asked.
“Oh, stars, is it time for our sex lesson?” Molli screeched suddenly. “Shall I pop some corn?”
“No! This was a horrible one. Where is Pariah?”
“She’s out. She needs to meet with the Helian Six crew over some information she found out about the Quakers and their hunt for us. Then she’s going to jump aboard the shuttle on her own private mission that she couldn’t tell us about. It all sounds very mysterious. I should like to be a spy like her one day,” Tris said, her tone reverent. “Nursing may be out.”
“Dammit,” Joy gritted out. Of all days! She hadn’t yet discussed as much as she wanted to with Pariah. One of her twits of a sister was always about listening in. She had no idea Pariah would be leaving so soon.
All three sisters stared in shock at the curse that fell from her lips.
“Are you sure it’s not the lunacy legacy beginning? Like that which befell Wilma?” Virginia mouthed the words from one corner of her lips as if Joy couldn’t hear what she was saying.
Joy gritted her teeth. “Pariah told you. Just because I’m willing to embrace my womanhood and become a slut does not mean I’ve gone crazy.”
“Oh, yeah. I forgot,” Virginia said.
“Please,” Molli interrupted. “Do go on with the sex lesson.”
“Well, I learned a new one, and somehow debunked the last one,” Joy said.
“Whatever do you mean?”
“Lesson three is sexual disease. Wanton women increase their likelihood of catching a disease of the lady parts.”
“What are the symptoms of such disease?” Tris asked, reaching for the little white hat one of the humans had assured them nurses wore. She plopped it on her head as if she already forgot she no longer wanted to become a nurse.
“Bugs.”
“Bugs?” Virginia’s eyes were huge. Slyly, she inched her hand toward her lady parts and began scratching.
“Virginia of Wails! You do not have the bugs disease, do you?”
“I think so! I itch suddenly...”
“Have you allowed a man between your legs?” Tris asked, mouth agape.
“M-maybe! Just his fingers, and perhaps a tongue.”
“A tongue!” All the sisters screeched in unison.
Joy swore again. Dammit, this was turning into a lousy day. After they called her a slut, turned out Virginia the Vamp had a man’s tongue on her virginal bits.
“H-He’d said he’d n-never,” she hiccupped. “So I allowed him just a taste. I had to pretend to be worldly, right? Isn’t that what we agreed we’d do? Only it felt so good, I’m afraid I allowed it to last a bit longer than it should have.”
Second base. Joy felt the exhilaration of hitting first base wan in comparison.
“Well, never fear,” Joy said, swallowing her envy enough to be the better person. The nerve! Two of these tramps had called her a slut and were barely even chastised by Mother Pariah. With the Madonna’s newfound ways, she had just gently reminded them to be supportive of their sister. It simply wasn’t fair. “I have the cure.”
“You do?” Tris leaned in eagerly. “What is it?”
“We must shave our forests clean.”
Virginia turned to Tris. “I’ll do you, then you can do me...”
“I’m not touching yours with a ten-foot pole,” Tris informed her haughtily. “Not with those disgusting bugs.”
The three of them broke out into chattering quarrels before Joy interrupted. “I don’t have a lot of time, ladies. I need to have a bath before my date with Rojan later tonight.” And she had her own lady parts to smooth out. “Did you want to hear about me debunking the second lesson or not?”
“Which one was that?” Tris whispered to Molli, keeping wary eyes on Joy as if she had indeed gone insane.
“Lesson two. Blow the cock like bubblegum,” Molli whispered back.
“Oh, yes. Please do go on.”
“Well, I just blew Rojan’s.”
“You did? Congratulations!” Molli said. “I must say. You don’t look any different.”
“No, but we already looked human to begin with,” Virginia reminded her. “It’s why we’re pretending.”
Joy so didn’t have time for this. “I’m still a virgin,” she cut in.
Finally, the twits stopped talking.
“How does one know?” Tris asked.
“Fortunately for me, we were caught in the act by Bajoc and Marcie.”
“Heavens!” Virginia crossed herself, and the other two sisters immediately followed.
“Marcie pulled me aside and assured me that you must be naked to lose your virginity. Clearly, I was not. The only body part that was indeed naked was Rojan’s cock.” She was rather proud of the way the word rolled off her tongue.
All three sisters stared.
“Which means,” she concluded the lesson. “That a blow-job does not necessarily entitle that one loses their virginity. I suppose more lessons are in order.”
“But you can’t get a lesson before your date tonight.”
“No. But I can go down first thing tomorrow morning for another. And just enjoy tonight, hoping that it happens. For all I know, we could do something tonight and I’ll learn during tomorrow morning’s lesson that it was a virginity breaker. We shall see.”
“So mote it be,” the three added.
“I do hope Rojan shows,” Joy said. “He was mortified with himself for getting us caught by prying eyes.”
“Bajoc and Marcie’s fault. That Bajoc does look like a watcher,” Virginia agreed. “Probably how he got that scar on his face.”
“I imagine so,” Joy said sadly. “Well, I’m off to the bath. I need plenty of time to pick the perfect sexy outfit for tonight.”
Mostly because it would be harder than ever to entice Rojan to take her virginity now that he was being so uptight.
* * * * *
WHAT IF HE DECIDED not to pick her up for their date? Worse, what if he sent one of his men down to tell her it was canceled? Oh, the humiliation. Joy sat up in the tub quickly. Time had gotten away from her as she relaxed in the bath.
Plus, she’d lingered longer because if she had any bugs from sitting on the same toilet as Virginia, she wanted to make sure they were good and drowned.
“Joy? It’s been an hour since you’ve been in the tub. And you have a visitor.” Tris called out.
“I’ll be right there.” Quickly, Joy toweled off and dressed, and then headed toward the living room.
“Oh, good, your hair is wet. I’m here to fancy you up for your date,” Raine said, setting her teacup down. Titi sat on her lap, waving excitedly to Joy. “Don’t mind Titi. I promised Lara I’d keep an eye on her for just a couple hours.”
“Of course I don’t mind. Would you like to come to my bedroom?”
The three of them moved back there, where Titi promptly rolled on the bed. “Do not tell your mother I allow you to jump on the bed,” Raine warned. “Remember the monkeys?”
“Three little monkeees, jumping on the bed. One felled off and broke up her head.”
“Yes. So stay in the middle and mum’s the word.”
“Mum!”
With her hand in the small of Joy’s back, Raine seated her in a small chair near the vanity and began brushing out her hair.
“Raine? Can I ask you something personal?”
“Of course.”
“I’ve been getting these sex lessons from Jannie, and I don’t really know if I understand them completely.”
Titi’s tuneless voice started, the pitch moving up and down. “S-E-X. X-E-D. Find out what you do to me. Just a lil bit. Just a lil bit.” Sang Titi as she jumped. She squatted, pointed her index finger at them and waggled it a bit as she wriggled her rear. “Just a lil bit. Just a lil bit.”
“What are you confused on, honey?” Raine asked her. “Don’t beat yourself up about not understanding. I’m not saying anything bad about Jannie’s lessons, but she’s a bit distracted with trying to get Chautles into the sack all the time. The other person who offered to teach you all was Anita, and well...she’s a little extreme. Doesn’t have a lot in the tact area, so I think they were afraid to let her go at it.”
“Well, Jannie says the men think we’re loosy goosy and are afraid we have diseases.”
“Oh, wanton women syndrome, huh?”
“I-I’m so looonesome, I could cry. The moon just went behind the clouds. To hide her face, before she dies. I’m so lonesome I could cry.” Titi’s voice wailed in the distance.
“Honey, there are different standards for men than there are women. Especially on your planet. If a man is...what did you call it? Loosy goosy? If a man is loose, he’s considered experienced. If a woman is...well, suddenly she’s the bringer of disease. So what you have to do is manipulate the male mindset. Appeal to his primal instincts. What is the base need every man has? To own his own woman. So as long as you pledge to be his, all the past falls away.”
“That’s it? That’s all it takes? Because he would hardly look at me earlier.”
“Trust me. On your date tonight, you tell him he’s the only one in your life. Watch as he walks through fire for you. He’ll defend you against the entire planet.”
“That’s what I want,” Joy said. “I don’t care that I’m gonna die. I just want to experience life first. I don’t want to die with this disease, virginity!”
“Of course not, honey,” Raine soothed. “None of us do. Some of us get rid of it at fourteen.”
Joy’s eyes widened.
Titi broke out in a new song. “You’re the one that I want. Yoo, hoo, hoo, honey. The one I need. Yes, indeed.”
Joy began to tap her foot. That one was a catchy tune.
“Well, maybe Anita did,” Raine confided. “I was more like—eighteen.”
“Eighteen! That was so long ago. It seemed like I sneezed...and suddenly, I was twenty-eight and never been kissed.”
“On top of spaghet-Titi...all covered with cheeeese. I lost my poor meatball...when Joy-sie sneeee-heeezed.”
“There. Hair fit for a princess about to be queen.” Raine whirled her chair so she could see the stunning sight in the mirror.
“It’s absolutely regal,” Joy breathed. She’d twisted small braids coming from Joy’s temples, forming a crown across the wavy tresses. It was simply glorious. Raine was definitely the best at what she did.
“And so are you. Listen, it’s all about attitude. You go on this date with attitude. Rojan will sense it and want it. That’s all you have to do.”
“But I don’t exactly know how one loses the disease of virginity,” Joy said, glancing at Titi, afraid she was picking up on too much of their conversation.
“Leave it up to Rojan. He’ll know what to do. You just be a willing partner and tomorrow, after this date, I’ll bet you’ll be one of us.” Raine gave her a sure smile.
One of them. A human. No greater honor existed.
“I shall be honored,” Joy said, bowing her head regally.
“Come along, Spaghet-Titi.” Raine scooped the purple toddler off the bed and swung her onto a hip. “Let’s leave Jo to get dressed.”
