A reprimand and a surprise

The following day, around midday Takumi brought Madam Kazuko into my room for the difficult conversation.

She bowed all the way to the floor and then looked up at me with a sensual, but cautious gaze.

"Greetings, master," she murmured. "I hope I'm not summoned here because I had the misfortune to unknowingly displease you."

I invited her to sit down. "Let's put it this way," I said. "I have a topic I wanted to discuss with you, Kazuko-dono."

She knelt in front of me, her gaze turning downward. "So then, I did displease you. I'm mortified. Master, please tell me what my error was and how I can return to your good graces?"

She bowed, intentionally directing her head so that her hair almost touched my cock under my kimono.

"Lift your head, Kazuko-dono," I said. "You are in my good graces. However, I have to worry about my family's reputation as well as your own."

She looked up, seeming genuinely surprised.

"What have I done to put my reputation in doubt?" she exclaimed.

"You put it at risk, Kazuko-dono. I advise you to be more careful with the games you choose to play with your servants," I said, shaking my head. "There are eyes everywhere, as you know. The walls are thin and the screens have holes. And some servants might have loose tongues."

She raised an eyebrow. "Do you mean…"

"A woman can use all the harigata she wants for her own pleasure," I said. "But when others are involved, there is always a risk of harmful rumors spreading around the household."

A flicker in Madam Kazuko's eyes showed that she understood what I was referring to.

She bowed again. "But master," she whispered, half-lifting her head so that I could hear her well. "If you're referring to a certain girl, then you must know that I'm not doing it entirely selfishly."

That sounded like a thinly veiled hint.

"How so?" I asked.

She leaned a little closer. "Of course, I miss you very much some days, Taro-dono, and I just have to release my lonely suffering…but that girl, that dirty slave, is also being prepared for you to enjoy."

I reached for her chin with my hand and gently pushed up her face to see her expression. As expected, it was completely unashamed.

"Me?" I said, in a low voice.

"Certainly, master," she whispered. "I know you deserve many pleasures, Taro-dono. And if I'm unable to deliver enough of those myself, I can at least help prepare them for you–and if you're willing, we could maybe even partake in those together."

I cocked my head. "Together?"

"Yes, I've been training that slave to be shared, master. She's able to serve both of us at the same time," her eyes were shining with excitement. "Of course, my hope is to serve you myself, whenever possible. But if you desire variety, Taro-dono – and I sense that you do – I'd like to be by your side as you're enjoying it…"

She pulled slightly on the sides of her kimono, exposing the tops of her breasts. She almost achieved her goal – I was about to reach for them until I thought of Takumi kneeling behind the thin wall. He'd say my serious conversation wasn't going in the right direction.

Accordingly, I restrained myself and sighed. "Kazuko-dono," I said pretty loudly. "I appreciate your loyalty and your desire to please me. I count on you to remember that in doing so you can't cross the boundaries of propriety and our family's good name."

She seemed to grasp my intent.

"Of course, your lordship," she said, also in a clear and loud voice. "I won't do anything that would cause you concern."

I raised my hand in farewell. "Thank you, Kazuko-dono. I knew you'd understand what has to be done."

"I understand perfectly, master," she got up and shuffled to the door. "Wishing you a pleasant day, your lordship."

Upon Kazuko's departure, to my surprise, Takumi didn't ask me any questions – nor offered his opinion. I figured that either the conversation concluded as he expected or he had something on his mind he didn't feel like sharing.

I contemplated for a few minutes and decided that a samurai couldn't spend this much time worrying about his servant's opinions.

I looked out the window and thought of Hana.

She was somewhere out there, beyond the forest, where the lake's waters drew us together. Unsettled, I ventured outside the house and strolled to the tree line behind the family compound, and toward the ridge overlooking the valley.

Hana, Hana… I couldn't wait to possess the beautiful creature…

There was a rustling on the left, and as I turned, a woman came toward me, glowing with happiness.

"Oh, the happiest of days!" she cried. "I get to meet your lordship among nature!"

I recognized Emiko, my wife's attendant who prepared me during the night of conception.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I don't even know what possessed me to take this shortcut coming from the village," she exclaimed. "Heavens must've guided me!"

She knelt before me. "Oh, please, master, grant me the honor of looking at you for just a minute."

I shrugged. "Am I running away?"

"If so," she said, looking at me pleadingly, "please, master, permit me to admire again your perfect member."

I stared.

"Don't be angry with me!" she cried out, bowing to the ground. "It's just that I can't stop thinking about it since the night I was fortunate to see it for the first time…Your lordship, please! Allow me at least one more look at it…"

I sighed. How silly some young women are, getting obsessed with pretty penises. And what is a pretty penis, anyway? I liked my own, but was it pretty? What deserves a title of a pretty penis? And what is it about penises that drives women crazy?

While I was debating the topic in my head, Emiko interpreted my silence as permission and reached out inside my kimono. Before I could stop her, she had my cock in her hands, smiling ear to ear – happiness personified.

"Oh, master, I don't know how to thank you," she cooed. "Now I can die happy."

She stuck out her tongue and ran it over my shaft a few times, savoring every touch and then smacking her lips in satisfaction.

"Your lordship tastes great," she said. "Allow me to show my appreciation for giving me this honor."

She opened her mouth and swallowed the entirety of my cock that was already growing from her licking. Emiko kept bobbing her head gently but persistently until I was full of desire.

"Master's gorgeous member likes it!" she beamed, letting my cock out of her mouth for a brief moment.

She licked the full length again, all the way down to my balls, flicking them teasingly with her tongue.

I must say, her tongue was silky smooth and slippery. It made her sucking and licking quite special. I let out a soft moan of satisfaction, and she looked at me, glowing.

With the same broad smile, she wrapped her hand around my cock and started to jerk it, while holding the top half in her mouth. Her tongue was gliding and slithering around my cock causing it to twitch, ready to burst. She probably sensed it because she switched to bobbing her head again, faster than before, while also eagerly jerking with her hand.

I could hold no longer.

I reached for the back of her head, pulling it closer and pushing my cock all the way in, and with a loud roar, I started shooting into her throat. Her tongue kept caressing the bottom of my shaft as if reloading it for more shots. I instinctively thrust as deep as I could, reeling.

I looked down. The bulge on her throat moved up and down as she swallowed several times. Finally, I let go of her head, and she carefully took my cock out of her mouth.

"Yummy," she murmured. "Master, I can't thank you enough for your magical essence." She licked clean everything she could find remaining on the shaft and closed my kimono. "I'm forever in your debt," she said. "With your permission, I'll leave, but I hope to be able to be of service to your lordship in the future. In any way you desire."

"We shall see," I said. "I might make your wish come true one day." She smiled ear to ear again and ran, bouncing, back to the house.
