RE: Penance
And it wasn't until now that she finally realized just what she had gotten herself into. Not in a regretful manner, of course, but in no small amount of uncertainty. She could look back at several occasions that her master had used her to play the political game, being what she was, which meant that if Celeste had seriously asked her to please the 'rough man' she probably could have performed acceptably (though not to the level of a professional, considering her greatest appeal/asset had absolutely nothing to do with the performance of her own two hands); but that wasn't the command here, oh no. It made her realize that she had never even touched a woman sensually. She was even hard pressed not to include her own body in that assessment. Please her... it was the most important command. The only command, as she saw it... and it was breaking her heart to think she might not be able to fulfill it.
With a hard gulp she cleared her mouth as if to wash away the uncertainty before obediently pursuing her new mistress. As if weightless, she slid her slender frame right alongside Celeste on the bed (though she still kept a single foot on the floor) and leaned in to press her lips as directed. For the first time since they started kissing she showed a bit of her experience, meeting the passion with a level of grace and control that made it almost seem like a massage. Once again she could feel the woman's healing energy course through her body, compounding on the work her curse had already done and removing every little ache and pain, right along with her energy, the crimson sparkle in her eyes, and most of the redness from her cheeks. It was a shame to lose all that arousal Celeste had just worked so hard to build, but at least it would let her better concentrate on the task at hand.
No questions asked, no need for a response. Selini looked down at the shirt intently, as if searching for its secrets, and it seemed she found them, for when she looked back up a smile crossed her lips. Simple start, indeed. Sliding her dangling leg upon the bed, she gently placed her thigh right between the woman's legs and slowly applied pressure as she situated herself. She may not have been very certain on how to please her, but she could certainly place something soft and firm there for her to rub against on her own time and pace.
For the first button she cheated, in a way. The only way she could keep her gaze upon her mistress' face (or at least her jaw) was at an angle, so she simply took the end of cloth between her lips and folded it back with a careful pull until the button popped on through its hole. For the rest, however, she did things properly. At first she was thrown off once again by anatomical differences between genders and had to practically bury her face in the woman's cleavage to get a good grip on the cloth around the button, but from there it was a simple matter of lifting up and slipping it free. The process remained slow around her breasts, but went faster with each one. Once she got low enough she was forced to remove her leg and slide halfway off the bed, but she tried to make up for it by slipping her hands beneath the shirt and stroking beside the small of her back. She probably hadn't even needed to command eye contact, for Selini was already extremely interested in gauging her reactions to each little touch. Still, whether her performance was a result of actual talent or simple cleverness/resourcefulness was yet to be seen.
Then came the last button. Almost too conveniently placed. Her eyes almost began to wander as she took in the rather distinct scent, but she quickly corrected herself. Though she took her time, she knew enough to make sure her hesitation looked like sensual delay (there was a great deal of arousal in anticipation) so that there was a sense of finality when she conquered her reserves and put her lips to work. This button was by far the longest as she made sure to rub the fabric in a few slightly less sensitive places before delicately teasing the jewel as she lifted the final slot free.
From her snug position between Celeste's thighs, Selini leaned up to look more clearly into her mistress' eyes (inadvertently sliding her hands down to the woman's ass), anxiously seeking any form of feedback or further commands. The thought of having freedom wasn't exactly a comfortable one in this situation, and her puppy-eyed expression showed it.
