Champion

Chapter 22

No. Astinus asked me to not attend the service," replied David with a modification of the truth. He had no wish to admit that he was only being banned from the s*x.

"But why? This is your first chance to participate in a full worship service, and you are Eros' Champion," she said, growing significantly more agitated. "Certainly you of all people should be there."

Sighing David realized he wasn't getting out of this conversation easily. "Astinus said that I wasn't ready, something about me not being able to share correctly. If you want a better answer ask him."

As he moved to walk around her and exit the room she reached out and tugged on his arm, "Please, Champion, wait. I believe he is wrong. You have shown a desire to better understand our faith. And you have certainly shown your capability to participate," she added, rubbing his crotch. "I think you should attend."

"Well Astinus disagrees," David said, growing thoroughly tired of her teasing. "And since he's in charge that means I'm s**t out of luck."

"What he does not know will not hurt him...or us," she leaned in close to his ear and whispered to him. "I will put a ceremony robe next to the door that leads to our guest quarters. Once we have entered the worship area put it on, and wait by the door until the discussion of faith has begun. It will be busy and noisy, so there is little chance he will even know you have joined. Once the Blessings begin, come find me, and I will show you the true wonders of Eros' love."

David was pretty sure that it was a bad idea, but he was also positive his d**k was hard enough to hammer railroad spikes right now. And this temptress was offering to help hold the nails.

Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, he thought. Besides, I'm the Champion of Eros and he's a f*****g pacifist. What's he going to do, give me a stern talking to?

Mind made up, he nodded his agreement to Laurena.

Wolfsvale, Erosius

Laurena and Astinus stood at the entrance to the temple that evening, greeting the faithful that arrived for worship, handing out robes for them to change into, and using cleansing spells to refresh them. Many people had come this evening, nearly half the town and outlying farmers, and the temple's worship room would be full.

Astinus welcomed all of them with a smile, reading their auras and grouping them according to their preferences. Many were couples who wished to simply share love with their spouse, but there were also those that wanted to share love outside their marriage. Some of the couples wished to remain together, but be joined by another man or woman as well, some wished to separate and share amongst their friends or new townspeople they found intriguing. A large number of young and not so young men wished to receive the Blessings of Eros from the breathtakingly beautiful acolyte beside him, just as a number of the women wished to receive it from him.

The priest greeted and sorted them all, ensuring each would enjoy the service this evening. One of the last couples to arrive was Timothy and Dawn. Laurena greeted them happily, and praised their gracious hospitality, explaining to Astinus how she and David had met them. The young couple was thankful and a bit humbled by the praise, but bore it well. However, the old priest grew concerned after reading them.

"It is very good to see both of you," Astinus greeted them warmly, concealing his worry. "I have not seen you at services much lately."

"We have been very busy with the farm, Priest Astinus," Timothy explained. "It is harvest season, and we had thought to wait until all the crops were in and stored for the winter before we came to town again. But then Laurena and David came to the farm, and reminded us how much we missed your services. After all, it is where we met."

Turning to Dawn, Astinus inquired of her, "How is your father? I have not seen him much in the last few years."

"He has been busy on his farm," she replied nervously. "There is so much work to do, and even more now since I have married and left him. Also, he took mother's death very hard, and I sometimes think he only kept coming to service afterwards because I would beg him to bring me."

"I understand child," Astinus said, nodding his head. "I have my own experiences with loss, and I would never judge another in how they choose to deal with it."

"You two will be staying together today," he added with a smile. "Your love for one another is still new and very, very strong. There is little that another could add that the two of you do not already possess between you."

At these words they both smiled broadly, and looked at each other with love and devotion as they made to enter.

"Dawn," Astinus momentarily stopped them with his words, "could you stop by and speak with me about your father after the Blessings are complete? I worry that I have not done as much for him as I should, and I would like to know how he is."

"Certainly Priest," she said.

Then it was time for the service to begin. Astinus began with a sermon on loss, and how Eros' love would continue after death, guiding his faithful into the next life. Then he opened the discussion for others to share their own feelings on the subject.

This is a ceremony robe? David thought to himself after he had changed.

He was now dressed in a silken robe with shortened sleeves, a bottom hem that barely reached mid-thigh, and a flimsy sash to tie it off with.

This is the kind of thing I would buy a lady back home when I wanted to get lucky, he thought to himself.

Shaking his head he realized that was exactly what he was trying to do. With that thought, and the image of Laurena similarly attired, he had to shift an awakening part of his body straight up, and slightly lower the belt on the robe to keep it contained.

It sounds like they are starting, he thought, I better get in there before I miss something important...like the orgy.

Padding quietly down the hallway to the worship room, he cracked the door open enough to find Astinus; confirming the priest was facing away before sneaking into the room.

There were a large number of people in here. The room had once appeared ridiculously huge for such a small town, but after seeing how many had arrived David was surprised they all fit. They were also all attired exactly as he was, and the multitude of shapely feminine legs and barely covered breasts was causing part of his anatomy to threaten freedom from its confining sash. He crouched low and made his way to an unoccupied cushion before anyone took more than a passing note of his entrance. He scanned the crowd carefully, but was unable to find Laurena. Shrugging, he decided to just listen to the service. He figured that she would come find him when it was time.

This is actually a pretty good service, David thought to himself later. His hardness had eventually worn off as he paid more attention to the words being spoken by the faithful. They spoke of the love they still felt for those that had passed on, the longing they felt to be reunited in next life, and the pain of having to remain behind in this one without the ones they had lost. It pulled at his heart to know that so many felt as he did, but it also helped him to hear how many others struggled on without their missing loved ones. It was a moving service, and as each person finished sharing their pain, they received a hug and/or kiss from someone nearby. He felt appreciation for those who shared their pain of loss in order to help others who still battled with it, and he also began to feel affection for a community that was so close they didn't feel the need to hide their pain from one another.

Sooner than he expected, Astinus rose and thanked all those who shared with the community today for their words and experiences. David checked his watch, and was surprised to see that nearly two hours had passed. Turning back to Astinus he realized he had missed whatever closing remarks the priest had made, and was surprised to see him disrobe and kneel down to kiss a young woman that was seated on the cushion next to him.

This seemed to be the starting bell for festivities. All around the room David saw the people that occupied each cushion strip themselves and their partners, and begin to kiss and fondle one another. He began searching the room for Laurena.

To his left his attention was drawn to a pair of lovely women sharing one man's throbbing hardness between them. They took turns licking up and down his shaft, and eventually taking as much of it into their mouths as possible, while the other enjoyed the kisses he planted on their lips and breasts. David was finally able to tear his gaze away from them as the women switched places for the second time.

Looking further into the room he saw a few things he had not expected. Two women were kissing passionately while they ground their soaked womanhoods together, and two men shared a cushion, locked in a 69.

That was an image he really hoped he would forget soon.

Averting his gaze quickly, he saw two men kneeling with a woman on her hands and knees in between them. With a hard rod stuffed in both ends, all three seemed to greatly enjoy her impersonation of Chinese finger cuffs. Further along he saw what he thought was Astinus; lying flat on his back while a middle-aged woman rode his hardness and the young woman he had leaned down to kiss earlier ground her velvety folds onto his tongue. Four more women shared the large cushion, stroking the man's body and each other's.

Way to go old man, David congratulated him with a mental high-five.

Looking further he saw a young woman that was really enjoying being the center of attention. She had all three of her holes filled, and a hard c**k in each hand. There was also a group of at least six more men of various ages stroking themselves and waiting for their turn. Slightly amused and slightly disgusted, he turned from that group to continue his scan...then turned back in shock.

Laurena?

It was her. The woman in the center of eleven horny men was none other than the object of his lust, and the major pain in his ass for the last three days. He was shocked.

What. The. f**k?

Why the hell did he kill five men to save her from r**e if this was how she spent her time? Hell, why had she been tied up at all? For that matter, why had he just spent three days being teased by her so much if she was this easy to sleep with? Was she just using him to get her way? Did she really care whether he came to the service, or was she just desperate for another hard c**k to fill one of her sloppy holes?

***

Laurena was happy. She had gone nearly two weeks without the Blessings of Eros, and it had been her longest period of abstinence since she had been permitted to begin attending adult ceremonies two winters before. But now her s*x was pleasantly full, her ass was also full, and the feeling of those two hard shafts rubbing back and forth inside her was amazing! She also had her lips wrapped around a third man's hardness, and the man below her was teasing her perfect breasts deliciously. Finally, each hand was pleasuring a different man awaiting their turn, and there were at least six more after them.

She wished she could turn her head. She had been able to see David enter the room earlier from the corner of her eye, but she was careful not to watch him too closely for fear that Astinus would notice her attentions and discover he was there. But now she really wanted the Champion inside her.

She spared a thought for her situation as the man beneath her picked up his pace, approaching c****x. As she milked his shaft with her internal muscles, she wondered if she would eventually tire of s*x with so many men at once. Since her first Blessing she had always been popular amongst the men and women that attended the services. Often her group would be the last to finish the Blessings. And it was always a group. She had yet to participate in a Blessing with just one man or one woman. She sometimes wondered if one person would be enough for her to enjoy it. Thinking of David she felt her pulse quicken a bit and stomach tighten. Perhaps if that one man was a Champion, she pondered.

As the man below her fired off inside her, it caused a chain reaction of climaxes that had her and the other two men riding the bliss of their orgasms as well. Swallowing the last of the seed she had collected in her mouth, she slid off the two c***s that had begun to shrink inside her. Next she cast a cleansing spell on the four of them, erasing her juices from their flagging members, and their essence from inside her womanhood and puckered star.

Sparing a moment to look for David, she was unable to find him before the next group of three pulled her gently back into their embrace.

The man below her sported a much thicker member than the last one, and she had to carefully ease herself onto it. It was a delicious tease to her already stimulated s*x. She enjoyed every bump and ridge as she slid down his engorged shaft. Finally reaching the bottom, she began to match each of his thrusts with an experienced wiggle of her hips, while she worked to coat the next man's member with a liberal amount of her saliva. She knew from experience that it needed to be dripping wet if she wanted to enjoy him in her ass. Once she was sure it was thoroughly coated, she winked at him and motioned for him to take up his position behind her.
