Hours passed. My patience would have worn thin were it not for my slowly increasing fascination with her gluttony. It became almost a rhythm: chew, swallow, drink. Chew, swallow, drink. By ten past ten, she was a voluminous mass of bulbous stomach and long, muscled limbs. Her tribal patterns stretched across her engorged belly like roads winding over a mountain. Her loincloth had been strained by the weight of her newly expanded gut, and as I watched with a sick interest, she snapped the length of leather holding it up with a single claw and let it fall to the ground, exposing the heaving curve of her buttocks to the candlelight.
Her hair had become matted with splattered wine and her chin and neck were covered in dried food crusts and leavings. Her eyes, once sparkling with the rushing enjoyment of alcohol, were growing more and more dull and cow-like the more she drank. Her cheeks now shone solid red, right through her burnished skin, and the smell of hard drink rolled off her like she were a vat in a brewery. I found it most enticing, though I knew not why.
She was clearly drunk now, her voice slurred. Several times during her binge she paused to hiccup. Mostly, however, she only stopped to unleash another prodigious belch upon the world. Her hunger seemed to be unstoppable: her body, however, seemed to be meeting its limits. I wondered if, like a dog, she might even eat herself to death if given the chance. Now there would be an easy killing! In more turns of phrase than one.
“How’s the meal going, oh lovely one?” I asked. This time the compliment was less greasy, and more honest. Buried instincts deep in my thoughts had begun to emerge, and, not being a stupid man, I was fully aware of them. They frightened me, but at the same time, I began to count the minutes during which we were alone, wondering if, just maybe…
She turned to look at me, her eyes roving across most of the barn before finally fixing (somewhat) on my form. “Shfine,” she mumbled. “Shreally good. I likesh it…a whole fuckin’ lot.” She licked her lips with a gleaming, wet tongue the size of my hand. “The drinksh…really nice.” The last word came out “nyshe.”
“Ah. Good. Anything else I can…um…do you need anything?”
She hesitated. Her eyes rolled up and down, and for a moment I couldn’t help but think that it wasn’t drunkenness that was causing the motion. Her large blue eyes were running up and down me almost like a blacksmith sizing up a horse. . . or a farmer selecting a bull for breeding.
I shook myself as she lifted her head to fire off another massive belch to the sky. She wouldn’t see me as anything but a meal. Even in her intoxicated state, she would rather eat me than consort with me conjugally. . . wouldn’t she?
I am in control, I reminded myself. A lecher is not in control. A lecher is a failure. But nevertheless, I couldn’t keep those soft globes from my mind—those smooth, sensuous spheres of firm brown skin, now resting delicately on the decadent mound of her belly.
“Begone,” I murmured to myself, and made holy signs. “Begone, spirit of lechery. Begone.” But my motion had attracted her attention.
“Whasshamatta lil’ un?” she slurred, peering at me through what I could only imagine was an addled fog. “Whashoo talkin’ bout over there, hmm? Garga want’sh to know.”
I shuddered as she leaned over the food-bowl, exposing a crevasse of shadow that plunged between her breasts. “Nothing. It was nothing. Do please keep on with your food. . . “
“Oh, no,” she said, shaking her head slowly. Her tawny hair flopped. “No, I wantshta know what’sh goin’ on over there.” Interesting how she became more verbally lucid as she lost her sobriety, perhaps the simpleton attitude was just a front, how intriguing a discourse on the subject might be, perhaps I could publish it in the—
She was moving towards me! She was hauling her bulging stomach over the pillows, crawling out of her feeding-spot to drag herself laboriously in my direction. Her knee bumped the cauldron and it dumped its payload of loaves, apples and pork rinds across the earthy floor.
I panicked, standing up and backing away. Horribly too late I realized I had been sitting almost against the wall. And there was not a page or an aide in sight—in the one moment that actually counted! Cursing, I wondered how fast she would take to eat me. Perhaps hours. I doubted anyone would come once my screams began…
But when she opened her mouth mere feet from me, it was only to let fly another burp. It was a small one, but it still vibrated her lips and contorted her face in the most ridiculous manner. I shall attempt to reproduce the sound on parchment for you:
“BreaarrrURP!”
A rich mix of scents bathed my face: digestive juices, chewed food, and most strongly, mead and the sour-grape stench of wine. She smacked her lips and hiccupped, the motion jostling her breasts and causing her to wince. She was on all fours in front of me but by no means was she incapacitated—she reached for my head, most likely to pop it off…
But instead she was lightly stroking my scalp. By “lightly stroking” I of course mean “viciously rubbing,” but it was far superior to having my head torn off, so I didn’t complain.
“Such a lil man,” she burbled, and I felt both slightly relieved and a trifle upset. I didn’t enjoy being called little, after all the time I’d worked for my position. Speaking of position, those mammaries of hers were in an interesting one. “Such a nice lil’ man. Givin’ me all thish food. And sho much booze. Garga dunno what to do with all tha booze.”
“Um...Drink it?” I postulated nervously.
Her mouth dropped open as if this had never occurred to her. Opened wide, her craw was the size of my head. “Thasha great idear! Just. . . hang on a bit tho. There wash somethin’ elsh.” She thought hard. It looked painful.
“Here, um. . . Your food’s out of order. Let me just fix that for you. . . “
Her eyes lit up as she recalled something, and then immediately filled with a smoldering intent that was barely constrained by her glazed expression. “Oh rights. Thersh shomethin we do in th’mountains you know. When we getsh all fuzzed on the good juice. Wanna know?”
I found my mouth was dry with apprehension and, bizarrely enough, eagerness. “What’s that now?”
She gripped me by the throat. My breathing became strained. Her fingers slid up the sides of my face, claws running over delicate skin. “We takesh the malesh. . . the lil’ wuns, the boysh of tha tribe. . . and we laysh ‘em down. . . and,” she said, taking a deep breath, “then we getsh on top of ‘em, and you know what we doesh next?”
I squirmed, unable to respond.
“We takesh their lil’ sticks, and we putsh ‘em in our moufs,” she giggled. An ogress, giggling. This was one for the books. “And then once they’sh good an’ hard an’ shtiff like tree trunksh, we pullsh ‘em up nice an’ straight, an’ we—”
“Your club!” I choked through my asphyxiation. ‘Someone’s touching your club!”
