The Aerie

Kruella's jaw clenched tight as her two smoldering eyes held Sarah motionless. Sinch held her breath, awaiting the burst of anger she knew would follow. Sarah would have turned and run, but she was caught in the conflict of fear and desire. A long moment passed, and the two women were surprised to see a smile pulling at the corners of Kruella's mouth, growing steadily broader until a sharp bark of laughter erupted forth. "Excellent! Excellent!"1

Puzzlement creased Sarah's expression, "I do not understand, Mistress."2

Kruella moved forward to stand before the girl. Her hand caressed Sarah's cheek lightly, "Nor have you any need to understand." She leaned forward and kissed the child's trembling lips. Sarah responded with little hesitation for she had enjoyed the touch of the older woman's hands across her body on several occasions before. Her hands rested on her Mistress's hips as her attention was gently directed to Kruella's breast. After a long moment, Kruella sighed as she pulled away to take the young woman by the hand and lead her to the blanket.3

Sarah removed her slippers and stood between the two older women. Kruella kissed the girl while Sinch untied the bows of her dress. Pulling away, Kruella let the dress slowly slip passed Sarah’s large breasts. As the receding fabric revealed the sight of Sarah’s erect nipples, Kruella’s breathing became heavy and she let the dress fall to the ground. Kruella and Sinch backed away as Sarah stepped out of her dress, gathered the material, and tossed it to one side. 4

After Kruella had retrieved a short, wide-mouthed, clay pot, the three women stood in a small circle. Kruella removed the lid and offered the contents first to Sarah, who stood to her left, and then Sinch, on her right. Each women removed three leaves of khaff. The soft leaves were deep green in color, a little over half the length of a finger, and about two fingers wide. Kruella removed her three leaves, then set the bowl to one side. In Kruella’s thinking, she was the leader of the ritual, so she commanded the offering in order of youngest to eldest. However, Sinch had always felt slighted by Sarah being served first. She knew the reason was that Sarah was Kruella’s favorite. If anything, thought Sinch, Sarah should be made to serve and should take her leaves last. In Sarah’s naivety, she simply accepted the ritual as it was presented, as it had been enacted for generations, or so she was told. 5

Between thumb and index finger, each woman held their leaves at the base with the tips spread apart. They held their hands forward to touch the leaves together at the center of their circle and Kruella began, “With this offering, …”6

“… Our souls and senses become as one in the presence of the Goddess,” all three finished together. They placed the leaves in their mouths, joined hands, then stepped backwards until their arms were fully extended and their hands slipped apart so that only their fingertips touched. With eyes closed, they chewed the leaves of khaff. 7

In almost no time, they could feel the familiar tingling in their skin as sparks seemed to ignite at their fingertips. The sparks grew with intensity to become an unseen fire that engulfed their hands and wrists. Unseen by the closed eyes, thick bolts of lightning suddenly arced through their arms to crash together between their shoulders. Their bodies stiffened and jerked as tensed muscles suddenly twitched to send waves of ecstasy rippling along their spines. Their fingertips separated for brief moments, but the flow of energy pulled them back together until the three women once again stood quietly as the peak intensity of the feeling slowly subsided.8

As one, their eyes drifted open to gaze directly across the circle at the touching fingertips of the other two women. Immediately, they were awestruck by the visible glow surrounding their fingers and hands. Without moving their eyes from those points, they could see the liquid lightning that extended outward passed their wrists and along their arms to form a glowing ring of fire superimposed on the circle they had created. On previous occasions, they had the same impression of sparks pricking at their skin, but never had they seen the actual circle of lightning flashing along their flesh. 9

Mesmerized by flowing rope of sparkling fire, fascination tugged their eyes closed once more as the practiced habit of ritual took control of their actions. Slowly, they moved together in tiny half steps, allowing their hands to run up along the others’ arms to meet again between their shoulder blades. Their skin tingled as their hands gathered the fire into bright knots beneath their fingertips and palms. When their fingertips just barely touched, the sparks flared and flashed once again to highlight the smoothly curved arch of their necks, spines, and legs.10

Down their spines their hands gently traced the fire, the sparks growing brighter until their palms rested lightly at the small of their backs. They leaned backwards against the pressure of the glowing disks beneath their touching fingers which gently lifted them to the tips of their toes. They breathed deeply as the energy seeped through their bodies, coalescing into tingling balls of flame that centered on their womanhood. For a long moment, they held their breath, every muscle strained and tight, lifting them to the edge of sexual peak. Suddenly, the sparkling disks glowing at the small of their backs flashed brightly, sending lightning arcing around their waists and crashing into the balls of flame which then exploded across their clitorises. Wave after wave of sexual ecstasy coursed through their trembling bodies until they dropped abruptly from their toes to stand again on their heels with their heads slumped forward as they gasped heavily for air, their bodies clad in a fine sheen of sweat.11

Dazed by the sudden break in pressure, their thoughts remained jumbled and confused. Slowly, they opened their eyes, blinking against the blindingly bright light flooding through their fully dilated pupils. As their sight returned, they could see their bodies glowing from the energy still trapped within their skin and they could still see the flickering circles of fire forming girdles about their waists. 12

With their fingers still touching at the small of their backs, the three knelt together, first on their right knees and then on their left. They sat upon their heels with their legs spread slightly, their knees touching to maintain the continuity of the circle they had created. Enraptured, they watched as tongues of flame flickered down their legs from the girdle of fire at their waist. The flames grew longer until they joined at the knees where sparks flashed as the circle of fire renewed. Waves of energy pulsed repeatedly from their knees to their waists. Their hands began to glow once again as the ball of flame between their thighs re-ignited. 13

Their breathing once again became heavy, making them light headed. With their eyes wide open, black flames of darkness sprouted at the edges of their sight. The darkness grew stronger as their vision tunneled until they could each see only a bright point of light. Dim at first but growing brighter, a glowing halo appeared around the point of light. Two tendrils of lightning flickered outward from the edge of the halo, reaching into the darkness. Suddenly, the end of each tendril encountered another identical tendril and there were instantly three points of light girdled by three halos connected by a river of lightning that pulsed with energy. 14

Swept up by the waves of light, the women became dizzy. Their consciousness became disembodied and their sense of identity lost as the pulsations became faster, the lights became brighter, and the tendrils crackled with increasing energy. The roar of the firestorm became deafening and the lightning became blinding. Crackling arcs of lightning flashed suddenly from the points of light to their surrounding halos. The tendrils broke, snapping violently back against the halos which then collapsed against the points of light.15

With their eyes wide open and staring at the sky, the women’s bodies began to tense while their sight grew dim. Unable to move for long moments, their tension steadily increased as their shared vision unfolded. When the energy they had gathered collapsed violently against their souls, their circle became broken and their bodies suddenly convulsed as the crescendo of their sexual tension reached a tremendous climax. Kruella’s body lifted on her knees, arms flailing against her companions as she twisted from side to side. Struck by Kruella’s fist, Sinch’s body jerked to her right, slammed against the ground, and rolled onto her back as her every muscle clenched and knotted to arch her back so that only her heels and head touched the ground. Also struck by Kruella’s fist, Sarah’s body lurched backwards, her knees bending and body arching until her head touched the ground, then her body twisted, her legs unfolded, and she rolled violently back and forth, her arms and legs pounding against the ground. With all her energy spent, Kruella dropped back into a kneeling position. Likewise, Sinch’s muscles suddenly relaxed and she collapsed back upon the ground. Sarah’s convulsion also ceased and she too lay still.16

The ritual these three women had just played out had been repeated on numerous occasions, but never with results such as these. While they had never seen the glow of fiery energy, the intense tingling sensation of the khaff commonly led to their first orgasm without fail. Re-ignition of the previously invisible flame through their legs had never occurred. The tingling sensations flowing from their waists would always fade away before reaching their knees. Kruella had been insistent that they could reenergize the circle to achieve a second orgasm, but not even she had anticipated the sheer fury of the energy they were attempting to harness.17

Sinch groaned as she opened her eyes to a world of shimmering brilliance. As she lifted her head, every muscle ached to the point of intense pain. She gasped at the sight of Kruella, whose pupils were still so extremely dilated that her eyes looked completely black. Her lips were pulled back tight in a monstrous grin accentuated by flecks of white foam at the corners of her mouth. Her head lolled lazily to one side, staring intently as Sarah’s body convulsed one final time, her large breasts heaving and her legs spreading to reveal the wet folds of her womanhood. Sinch watched in horror as Kruella’s face contorted into a mask of feral hunger. 18

With every sense of inhibition and conscience being overwhelmed by the emotions raging within her, Kruella was uncontrollably driven by the need to dominate, to possess, to devour the woman lying before her. Launching herself onto the prone figure, her mouth engulfed the woman’s swollen nipple. As one hand clenched Sarah’s breast tightly, the other hand slipped fingers easily into her body. Sarah struggled feebly, her hand grabbing Kruella’s by the wrist. 19

Though she resented Sarah intensely, Sinch felt an urgent need to help her. She tried to rise, every muscle screaming. Then she suddenly realized that Sarah was not pushing Kruella’s hand away. Driven by the same wonton desire, Sarah was pulling it harder, trying to ram the fingers repeatedly into her own body. Pain beyond all her experience exploded in Sinch’s head and she immediately passed out.20
