There was a small part of her, though she had spoken permission to continue the rites, that felt wrong without the high priests there to join them, to watch and accept the initial blessings before they continued. And yes, while the actions that followed after she and Demeter copulated were important to the fertility and birth of each preceding generation, they were not required. At least not to give blessing to mortals a whole, those sections of the rites were for that particularly village, and no village needed to be represented here.
She felt rather then saw Demeter's fingers curl and tug down all that was left of the cotton fabric that covered her, shivered as the warm pressing mouth drug tantalizing over her pale cool skin.
Despoina, at first, did not move her hands, kept them relaxed by her sides though her breasts rose and fell with lust that was curling in her gut, the pulse of her heart nearly vibrating in her head with desire. When Demeter's lips smoothly kissed so low on her stomach it was like an explosion of heat originated from them before shooting electric tendrils to pool between her legs, and Despoina could not hold in the soft hum of a moan, as she moved her hips forward to press closer to her affections.
