The Queen's Chamber

{If Exhibitionist = 1}Negana wept. She kneeled on the grass inside the tent hugging Amber and Onyx as the mix of emotions and exhaustion racked her body. She looked for Gerwald, through her tears she saw him standing nearby, concerned for her but unsure whether he should still be here. She held her hand out to him and he stepped forward and held it. Then she pulled him toward them so that he could join their embrace.

After a while Negana’s tears subsided and she was able to speak with her companions. Amber fetched a bottle of vodka and some plastic mugs and they moved into the queen’s chamber. Onyx pulled the sheet from the bed and wrapped it around Negana’s shoulders as they all sat or laid on the air bed. {else}Amber and Onyx led her into the queen’s chamber. Gerwald stayed at the entrance to the tent, unwilling to just follow them but Negana paused, looking back and held out her hand. He stepped forward and took it and she pulled him with them as they all sat or laid on the air bed. Amber stepped out, returning shortly with a bottle of vodka and four plastic cups, which raised an excited cheer from Onyx. Amber asked Negana how she had escaped? How come she was wearing Gerwald’s tunic? Where had she found the bow? Onyx told her to chill and let the queen tell them in her own time. {endif}

She recounted the story since this morning’s battle, but skipping the details of being gagged with her panties, or losing her skirt climbing out of the toilet window. She just said she had torn her clothes in the woods, then during the fight after she found the weapons they had just fallen apart.

‘Well,’ Onyx said, leaning back on her elbows, ‘that was quite the adventure!’ Negana’s eyes lingered on her toned, tan stomach. ‘So tell me, what did you think of our White Wolf this afternoon?’ She stroked Gerwald’s bicep. He was still topless. ‘Quite the performance, eh?’

‘You were very impressive,’ blushed Negana. Gerwald smiled at her.

‘Bad luck having your arms in that thing,’ joked Onyx. ‘I bet you wished you could have diddled yourself when he took his shirt off?’

‘Or when he pulled her knickers off,’ Amber joined in. ‘That was my favourite part.’ Gerwald was blushing now, he took a sip of his drink to avoid having to make eye contact.

Onyx was becoming more animated. ‘We all know your favourite parts,’ she laughed, then turned to Negana. ‘Oh, I bet it was driving you crazy, not being able to touch yourself!’

‘Stop it,’ laughed Negana.

‘Oh, Gerwald,’ Onyx moaned, kneeling now with her legs apart, her hand rubbing her crotch. ‘Your queen demands your services, she says you can butcher her blaviken any time!’

Gerwald laughed at this, then held his cup out to Amber for some more vodka.

‘I’ll tell you what, Ted is going to be pissed in the morning,’ she said as she poured another round. ‘First you get captured when you weren’t supposed to, then they write a new story where we go and rescue you, then you escape! I bet his head is spinning!’

‘Do you think he’ll be upset?’ Negana was worried.

‘No he won’t,’ replied Gerwald, ‘it’s part of the job. He’ll just re-write all of your scenes so you have to be naked.’

They all laughed. ‘I seem to be able to manage that without his help,’ Negana joked.

They lounged on the bed, laughing and drinking for some time. Onyx flirted with Gerwald more and more as the vodka gave her even more confidence{if Exhibitionist = 1}, and Negana forgot that she was naked beneath the sheet, so that Amber repeatedly had to cover her up when it slipped from her shoulders. Onyx smiled at her friend, noticing the way she was constantly watching in case the queen’s breasts or bush should come uncovered.{else}. Amber and Onyx teased Negana for stealing Gerwald’s tunic, the poor chap must be cold, and Amber was eventually allowed to pull it off over the queen’s head and offer it to him. He politely refused so she laid it on the floor and wrapped Negana in the sheet instead.{endif}

Everybody grew tired, and Negana drifted into sleep. She awoke, still on her bed, surrounded by her friends. Gerwald was lying on his back and her head was on his stomach, her arm around his waist. She was no longer covered by the sheet, and her bare leg was curled around his. Onyx was on the other side, her face nuzzled into his neck. She was no longer wearing her top, and his arm was around her, his hand on her hip. His other arm was around Amber who lay with her head on his chest, her hand on Negana’s shoulder. She thought they might all be asleep, or just really relaxed.

Whatever the case, this felt like a good end to a pretty challenging day.
