“Now we’re talking.”

Strangely, I’m excited. My body vibrates, egged on by Ylvin’s pressure.

“He was very soft with his touch.”

“Soft?”

“Yes,” I state simply.

She stands, raising a fist above her head. Madness enters her eyes. The cat barely reacts, as if this is normal behavior.

“Did he ever hammer you like mighty Thor crushing his enemies?!”

She is shouting at this point. Her fur falls to the ground and she stands completely naked in front of me, hand raised like Thor wielding Mjolnir. I catch a glimpse of the dark bush between her legs before turning my eyes to the side.

She laughs as she walks across the room.

“Now you have seen both my husband and me naked, all in one day.”

I look at her back. Her buttocks glow orange as she searches for something. She bends over to reach for it, making me avert my eyes yet again.

“Relax, girl,” she says. “We are both women. You will understand soon enough. For now, I will wear a robe.”

Ylvin slips on the same thin blue robe she was wearing the day before. She grabs two cups and fills them from a cold pot. An amused expression crosses her face.

“Better?” she asks, passing a cup.

“I… Sorry, I?—”

“It’s okay. You are young, you are a novice, you are shy.”

“Thank you,” I say, relieved that I haven’t offended my sex-crazed maniac of a teacher. Her presence dominates the room. I feel like a drop in her river. “So good,” I whisper, relishing the cold yarrow and nettle tea on my tongue.

“So, tell me then, did he hammer you like Thor on a Jotnar?” she asks casually as she sits again, covered this time.

“Well, no. As I said he was soft.”

“That can be good too. I prefer the best of both worlds. Elof can be soft and he can be a monster.”

“Uh… that’s grea?—”

“What was your lover’s name?”

“Narve.”

“Did Narve taste you?”

“What? Gods no.”

“Did you taste him?”

“Of course not!”

What’s with this woman? Asking all the details of my sexual experiences. This training is very different from Groa’s.

“Elof and I know to enjoy ourselves. I hope you will learn the same. Not with Elof, of course—he is mine.”

She winks as I feel air drying my gaping mouth. I collect myself.
