The Queen and Malaetol

The nine companions along with Malaetol left the cave behind them. They were in no hurry as they plodded through the woods, taking in the sights and sounds around them. As they walked along, Faye and Malaetol kept stealing glances of each other, neither one knowing exactly what to say to the other. As it turns out, both were virgins, having had no previous relationship experience with anyone. Faye went to steal another glance at the young beauty with her dark red hair, eyes of the deepest green, and full pouty lips. It was at that time Malaetol had also decided to steal another glance at Faye. Both of them smiled shyly at each other as their faces turned red.

Jenna saw what was going on, and decided to speak up. "Will you both quit looking at each other like you're pieces of candy you can't afford to buy? Say something to each other already! It's clear to everyone else that you're both interested in each other. You're about the most awkward virgins I've ever seen!" Everyone, including Faye and Malaetol began to laugh. The ice had been broken.

"Okay, you've made your point, Jenna" Faye responded. "Why don't we stop and rest for a bit before going on?" Everyone decided stopping for a break was a great idea. Their packs and gear hit the forest floor as they found places to take a seat. They had all gathered around under a great big willow tree. Its ancient roots made ample seating.

Faye sat down next to Malaetol, and smiled nervously. "I apologize for being so nervous" she started to say. "This is so uncomely for a queen, I know."

Malaetol brushed some stray hairs out of Faye's eyes and caressed the side of her face. "Not at all, My Lady. I'm just as nervous as you are. All my life away from the Continuum was spent being a guardian and High Priestess for Vulva. I have very few interaction skills myself. But we can learn together, can't we?"

Faye smiled sweetly as she took Malaetol's hand. 'That we can, Malaetol. That we can."

"Please, just call me Mal." She took Faye's hand and brought it to her lips, and kissed it. This little act set off strong jolts of static tingles through both women that neither of them could deny.

"You don't have to be so formal with me either, Mal." Faye was gushing with tingly sensations. "Please, just call me Faye. For you to call me My Lady makes me feel like you're my servant, and I want you to be so much more than that to me."

"Of course My... I mean Faye. I would like that very much!" She took a breath. Then she lifted up Faye's chin by her fingertips, and drew closer to the beautiful Virgin Queen. They closed their eyes as their lips met for the first time. It was the first kiss for both of them. Moments into the kiss it became much more than a simple kiss as they gently cupped each other's face. Their lips opened as they tasted each other, mewling quietly into each others mouth.

The rest of the group looked on silently, until Kris opened her mouth. "This has to be the hottest thing I've ever seen. But why don't you two at least wait until we get back home?"

Embarrassed, they broke the kiss. "I suppose you're right Kris. Shall we move on ladies?" Faye answered, red faced.

Little did the group know there was someone, or some thing, watching them closely, biding their time as they shouldered their packs and picked up their gear.
