Do you reciprocate her feelings?

A group of Ladies arrive, Miss Piper and her friends. You stand at attention for them as they sip tea and eat cakes.

They giggle and whisper as they glance at you every once in a while. One of them calls you over, a lady you've never met before. "Come here." She commands.

You walk over, carrying a small teapot in both hands. The Lady looks you up and down and smiles at her friends. "You were right, I can tell." She says at Miss Piper.

Your face turns red as the women laugh.

Miss Piper seems embarrassed, she's always been kind to you. She looks at her friend reproachfully and then looks at you and says "I'm so sorry Andrew, Lady Marta is a miscreant."

"It's quite alright." You stammer out.

"I'm positively slandered." Marta cries out. "I said nothing even remotely inappropriate to the young Mal."

"Not even a Priestess would take offense at what I said." She continues with a smile. "You must have misunderstood me."

"I dare say." Miss Piper says. "The lad is blushing, I think he knows exactly what you meant."

"I simply meant he's charming." She says "Is that such a grave crime here?" "Don't be so serious."

The women laugh and then continue to talk as you refill their cups with tea and their plates with cake.

"Why is everyone in this city so pious?" She asks in the air.

"Because our Goddess is the only one who will save us from the darkness." Miss Piper says.

"That's right My Lady." You add. "We should all give thanks and praise to the Goddess."

The women laugh again.

"What a good little Mal you are." She says "Are they all as brainwashed as you in this city?" Marta asks.

You don't reply.

"Do you know what the followers of Tenebrae teach, Mal?" She says. "They teach Womyn to stand up and take what they deserve from life." She says.

You don't understand.

"I won't have that filth spoken off here." Miss Piper warns her friend. Marta drops the subject but it was obvious she wished to say more. You finish serving the ladies and then return to your housekeeping duties.

Over the next few days you wonder about what Lady Marta said. But not knowing anyone you can ask about it you just keep it to yourself and forget about it over time.

That evening you eat with the other Serfs as you always do. They are a bunch of rough women who work hard. You never really talk to them much as your mother says it's not proper. After you finish eating and return to your room that you share with your mother. It's a simple room, sparsely decorated but it's dry and clean and the furniture is solid.

It's more than most Serfs enjoy.

"What were you thinking?" Your mother asks.

"I was thinking about how Lady Marta said that those who follow the teachings of Tenebrae are willing to stand up for themselves." You reply.

"Why were you speaking with the Ladies?" Your mother asks.

"The hot water kettle needed refilling." You say "I had to take it off the fire."

"I didn't give you permission to speak with them."

"She spoke to me, Mother." You say.

"I'm sorry" Your mother says "It's just they're so far above our station and I don't want them to look down on us."

"I'm sorry as well." You say.

"You always are."

You head over to your humble little bed and lay down.

"What did Miss Piper say?" Your mother asks.

"She was thanking me for the refill." You say.

"See, and I ruined it by reprimanding you."

You fall asleep thinking about what Lady Marta said.

The next day is uneventful until lunch time when your mother calls you to her and says "I had a talk with Lady Patience."

"Oh?" You say.

Your Mother is beaming with pride at what she has done. "Lady Patience wishes to sponsor you to become bonded to a family of free Womyn."

"Oh" you say lamely.

"She thinks your good breeding and hard work would serve well in her blacksmith's family."

Your mother says overjoyed. "You would be a free Mal, your daughters would be free Womyn." She says. "Oh, I always wanted this for you." You sit in silence and ponder your future.

"She even offered to pay for the marriage." She says.

Should you take this opportunity to get out of the life of a lowly serf or would you rather not meddle with the fates and risk angering them? "That's wonderful Mother." You say.

"But what about you?" You ask.

"I'm old enough to be grandma to several of the village children, I can't expect much more from life."

"But you're happy here?" You ask.

"I could be happier, but yes. I'm satisfied." She says.

"Then why should I take this chance?"

"Oh Andrew, it's different for Mals." Your Mother says.

"How so?"

"It's dangerous being a Mal Serf." She explains "Many end up in Red Houses. "I don't want my son spending his life as a pleasure ****."

"But I wouldn't!" You protest.

"Miss Prudence would never sell me to them." You say.

"Perhaps not." She says "But not all Womyn in the family are so respectful of Mals." your mother says. "I know Lady Esmeralda has a reputation."

"It's not safe for you, now that you're coming of age." She says "Any of those Womyn might try to take advantage of you."

You ponder your situation, staying here with your mother or moving to the country and becoming a blacksmith's bondmate.

"Why would anyone try to take advantage of me?" You say. "The Womyn here are good Womyn." "I've never had any problems with them."

"Everyone knows how pretty you are and I think it's obvious you've been filling out lately" She says looking down. "You're a Mal now and it's natural for Womyn to want to try... things with you."

It's true that your male parts have gotten so much larger lately that you can hardly hide them in the tight shorts of your uniform. Wherever you go the eyes of Womyn are on your grotesque crotch these days. And you've noticed that even the ladies tend to look at you differently.

"You'll have to be careful around the Womyn now." She says

"But mother, I don't want to leave you here alone." you say "And besides I don't know these free Womyn at all that I'm supposed to be bonded too. What if they are perverts?"

"They are an upstanding family who have the fortune of being free." She says "And you will be fine. It is my wish that you go and take this opportunity."

"Even if they take advantage of me?"

"They will be your wives, they can take advantage all day long if they want." Your mother says with finality “And you will submit yourself to them.”

Your mother's sobs as she realises that you're leaving and will be gone, perhaps forever.

"Just be safe."

You get called to Lady Patience's room later that day and she announces what your mother just told you. You're to be married as a free Mal to her Blacksmiths. You'll live in their house and help around the home, raise children.

"Aren't you glad my Mal?" She asks beaming. "I've found you a good home where you'll be happy and safe."

"What are their names ?" You ask Lady Patience.

"Oh I didn't get names. Electa maybe, I think." She says. "She's down in the forges."

"She has four sisters. You'll be bonded to the five of them."

"I see."

"I'm sure you'll bear them many daughters." She says."I've asked my daughters to escort you back to our country Estates and officiate your bonding." She says "Two of them volunteered." she continues "But I'm not senile yet so I told Smeralda to shove it." she chuckles.

"I'm too old to make the trip." She says regretfully.

"Very well my Mal." She says "Go with Lady Piper and do what she says, I'm entrusting you to her care."

Today is your last day at the city estate. Your mother throws a party for your departure. You eat cake and even the Ladies come bid you farewell. They remind you once again to listen carefully to everything your new wife and her sisters tell you and to please bear them many strong daughters.

"Yes I will make sure he gets there safely." Lady Piper assures your mother.

Lady Esmeralda comes to you during the celebration and says "Andrew my Mal, I'll miss seeing you in the mornings. You improved the worst part of the day tremendously."

"I'll miss you too, My Lady." You say bowing your head.

She leans in for a kiss and whispers "I'll miss seeing your big cock dangle in front of me most of all." with a wink. You're so shocked and that you don't even respond.

You just go beet red and get hard, an effect Lady Esmeralda has on many Mals.

Several Womyn notice and look you up and down with a few giggles that make you even more ashamed.

Lady Prudence looks at Lady Smeralda reproachfully but then she glances over at you with a strange look on her face and you notice her licking her lips.

Lady Patience comes over to you and hugs you tightly and says "Be well my Mal, make us proud."

You're still blushing but you manage to mutter a quiet response. Your mother is in tears the whole time but she keeps saying they are tears of Joy. You hug her one last time and depart with Lady Piper and several guards in a carriage.

The carriage takes you over the bridge and out of the city into the lovely summer countryside. It's truly magnificent country and you relax with Lady Piper in the carriage. You converse and she offers you tea and small honey cakes. She's always been sweet and respectful to you. You like her a lot.

The temperature is really hot and she decides to go topless as is natural for Womyn, most of the guards already are. Of course Mals can't as their flat chests are indecent to expose to Womyn and would drive them to Sinfulness, but for breasts it's natural to let them breathe. You sit on the carriage bench opposite her and find it very distracting. Her bosom is so close and jiggling as the carriage moves.

You wish you could ignore it but you feel yourself harden inside your tight shorts.

There's a slight ache and you shift a few times to try to relieve it but that only serves to make it more noticeable and uncomfortable for you. Lady Piper notices and smiles at you.

"Are you finding the ride a little uncomfortable my Dear?"

You blush and nod silently.

She smiles and says "I have a confession to make Andrew." She pauses for a moment and looks at you very intently. She then says "I've, for quite some time, had feelings for you Andrew. I have tried to ignore them but I can't, I've tried to sway them but I can't. They are there and as strong as oak. I care for you deeply. In truth it breaks my heart to see you leave. Even though I am happy for you." she says her hand reaching out to touch yours.

"I had no idea My Lady." You admit.
