increased the interest I felt in watching her performance; and besides, she seemed so terribly in earnest, and so carried along by pleasurable emotion, and her cunt looked in such a bursting state of excitement, that I, familiar as I am with the cunt and its longings, could not help admiring her and sympathising with her wanton exercise. So pushing my hand through the opening of my full wide trousers, I placed it on my own chink of delight, and by the friction of my finger speedily allayed for the moment the intense excitement into which I had been thrown by these two exhibitions of wanton female nature.
'That very evening, Juanita made up to me in the most unmistakable manner. She even charged me with deceiving her, and told me, in her own beautiful language, which seems specially adapted for giving utterance to the emotions of love, that I had spoken to her too kindly and looked at her in such a loving way that I had gained her heart and made her expect and long for some more palpable evidence of love.
'I smiled, and offered her a present, she smiled in return, but refused the present and, coming close up to me, said, "That is not the proof of love I wish for. It is you I want," she added, looking down, while a roseate flush suffused her face.
'"My dear Juanita, you have indeed gained my goodwill by your attention, and I enjoy conversing with you in your own language, for you are so kind in correcting me, and take such pains to get me right; but as to love, you know, I am only a boy, and won't be thinking of marriage for many years to come." '"I don't expect you to marry me, and I don't want you to marry me; I don't think marriage makes people fonder of one another; I know it foes oftentimes the reverse. I do want you to love me, and to love me without force or compulsion." '"My dear Juanita," I said kindly, for I really felt for the poor girl, while I pitied her infatuation, "What proof of love do you want?"
'"What a question to ask me! You tell me, I am pretty, I know I am young. I am healthy. I am a woman, and I tell you I love you and crave your love in return; what can I say more?"
She put her arm round me, and drawing me to her, pressed me to her bosom, and burst out sobbing as she laid her head on my shoulder.
'"Well," thought I to myself, 'this is a pretty fix! What am I to do? what excuse can I make? I must carry on for the present, however, as well as I can, and contrive to get away before she drives me to extremities." So knowing well the soothing effect of such attentions as she was evidently desiring, I first pushed my knee in between her thighs (oh! how readily they opened!) I pressed it up on her seat of love (with what joy she responded by pushing hard against me!) I stooped and raised her petticoats (she made no objection), I ran my hand up between her soft warm thighs, I reached her bush. The lips seemed to open as I pressed my finger in. The chink was very moist and glowing with heat, and the clitoris felt stiff and springy as if endued with life. Wishing to give her all the pleasure I could, I passed my other hand beneath her clothes, and grasped the firm round cheeks of her bottom, while I frigged her cunt as skilfully as I could.
'"Oh, my love! Now you understand me — won't you put it in? where is your prick? Let me find it — I will pet it for you and then you can fuck me, if you will." '"No, dearest Juanita, not just now. I never care for a fuck while hampered with my clothes, wait till I have you naked in bed, then we shall take our fill of love. Meantime, let me frig your nice juicy cunt; there, do you like that?" '"oh, my love! You know how to frig… faster — harder — oh! I'm coming — push your finger up. Oh! Oh!!"
She kissed me rapturously, while she hugged me in her arms, then as I gently disengaged myself, I said, "Now, darling, leave me and if I can I will come to you at twelve tonight; but if I do not come at that time, don't expect me, for I might be prevented." 'She left me with reluctance, and I prepared to go out. I had promised to meet on that evening two young men — one whom I will call Henri, a lieutenant in the Italian navy, and the other, Julien, an officer in the marines.
'I made their acquaintance the day after the robbery, when I had to appear in the police court to give my evidence. They were present and took a fancy to me. I passed many evenings in their company, for I thought it a good way of perfecting my education as a boy, though I found, as you may imagine, extreme difficulty in the concealment of my true sex. We generally went to the theatre, or some other place of amusement after which they usually finished up in the arms of some of their favourite mistresses.
'I was perpetually solicited by those ladies to join in their amusements, but always excused myself on some plea or other.
'On this evening, I had reason to expect that a more determined attempt would be made to overcome my opposition, and compel me to prove my manhood.
'I should mention that as I often returned late at night, I obtained from Monsieur Rinaldo a latchkey with which to let myself in without disturbing the house.
'I was just sallying forth with this key in my pocket, revolving in my mind various plans of escape from the importunities of my friends, when Madame Rinaldo met me in the passage, and putting her arm round me, without ceremony drew me into her room, and having shut the door, whispered, '"My dear Francis, don't fasten your door tonight, for I intend making monsieur's evening glass stronger than usual, and I will come to you when all is quiet; you won't turn me out — will you, dear?'
'"Oh! madame, how mad you are! What would you do if Monsieur Rinaldo were to wake up and find you absent from his bed?" '"Oh! he'll not wake up. I'll take care of that; and if he does, I can easily make an excuse, so don't be afraid. I will come, and be sure that you keep yourself fresh and wholesome for me, and don't stay out too late.
Now kiss me, and goodbye for the present," she added, quoting my own expression.
'As I passed out, I thought: How the plot thickens! How strange, to be so beset at once by two most lascivious women, both dying to be fucked!
Now, I bet if I were a hot young blade with a glorious prick of my own, instead of being only a poor girl with nothing but an innocent little cunt to boast of, such good fortune would never have happened to me; but somehow, things always go in this world by the rule of contrariness.
Then suddenly a light burst upon my mind — why not utilise my two friends! It will extricate me from a great difficulty, be a bonne-bouche for them, and given my two randy sweethearts supreme satisfaction. So later when, coming out of the music hall, my two friends seized my arms to carry me with them to meet, as they said, some of the most splendid girls in Genoa, I assured them I would be much better engaged at home.
'Then I described Madame Rinaldo and the maid Juanita, how they were boiling over with lust and wantonness and how I was fairly at a loss to meet their joint demands; "and I must tell you, there is a third girl in the house, whom I love better than either of those, and whom I especially desire to have all to myself tonight. But this is my difficulty: madame told me this afternoon that she intends coming to my room tonight and I had already promised the maid, who is, if possible, still more attractive, to go to her about the same time. What would you young fellows think of putting off your other engagement and returning with me. I have as you know the key to the hall door, and we can get in without disturbing anybody. Let one of you take my place in my bed, and receive in my stead the loving Rinaldo, and the other represent me in the arms of the fair waiting maid, while I shall be occupied in another room with the other girl I spoke of; and after you have got as much as you care for — be assured they will give you enough — I can let you out again, and you may reach home by the small hours." They were both charmed with the novelty of the idea, and gladly agreed to play the parts I had suggested.
So, in due course, we quietly stole into the house. I first let them into a small parlour which I used as a sitting room. Here we primed ourselves with one extra drink while I gave them more minute instructions, warning them particularly not to speak more than they could possibly help, and then only in low whispers, and in everything to imitate me as much as they could.
