“Sorry.” Kissie sighed and rolled her eyes expressively at Mia.
“I’m thirsty—I think I’ll go get some water.” Teebra rose stiffly and beat at her white dress, as though to get any stray grass blades off it. She walked back to the pavilion, her back and shoulders held in a stiff, irritated position.
Kissie sighed again.
“There she goes. Teebra’s nice but she’scompletelysold out to the Prophet—you can’t say a damn thing about him in front of her without offending her.” She glanced at Mia. “I suppose you’re offended, too.”
“Oh, not at all.” Mia shook her head. “I’ve never even met him—I’ve only seen him on a screen. You know—in the ads for the PPP and during our Induction Ceremony,” she added, explaining.
“Of course.” Kissie nodded. “I don’t know what it is, he just doesn’t impress me. Everybody seems to be socrazyfor him, but to be honest, I can’t see anything so great about the guy.” She shrugged.
“Everyone else here certainly seems to love him,” Mia ventured.
“Oh yes—they think he’s great. Wait until you see them all listening to his lecture tonight—they’ll act like what he’s saying is the most amazing thing they’ve ever heard.” Kissie shook her head. “I don’t know—I just don’t see it. To be honest, I’m only here for the amenities.”
“But don’t you have to put up with a lot to get them?” Mia asked. “I mean…does your husband really, uh,punishyou?”
“He does sometimes.” Kissie shrugged. “We both kind of get off on it—or wedid. Lately Cumbig’s gotten too lazy to ‘punish’ me anymore. He’d rather sit in the living area and watch Instructional vids and beat off than put me over his knee.” She sighed. “I guess the glamour is gone.”
“So he used to, uh,punishyou a lot more?” Mia asked.
“Oh sure.” Kissie nodded. “Not as much as Brother Enoc punishes Sister Lisha, though.” She rolled her eyes.“Thosetwo are going at it from morning ‘til night! I don’t knowwherethey find the energy!”
“Oh yes, my uh, husband, Sev, and I met them this morning,” Mia said. “Brother Enoc, uh, asked us to ‘witness’ him punishing Sister Lisha.”
“Oh,whogot punished?” It was Teebra, back from the kitchen. She had several cups of water with her and passed them out to Mia and Kissie. Mia took hers gratefully—the soup she was sipping must have avery high sodium content, she thought, because it was making her extremely thirsty.
Kissie rolled her eyes again.
“Who do youthinkgot punished? It was Brother Enoc punishing Sister Lisha again, of course.”
“Oh—poor Sister Lisha!” Teebra exclaimed. “It seems like she’salwaysin trouble.”
“That’s because shewantsto be in trouble,” Kissie said, sounding exasperated. “She and Enoclikehaving people witness their punishments all over the damn Dome!”
“You think she gets into troubleon purpose?”Teebra opened her eyes wide. They were dark blue and, unlike Kissie’s eyes, wouldn’t have looked out of place in a human face, Mia thought.
“Youdon’tthink it’s on purpose?” Kissie countered.
“But…but why would anyone do that?” Teebra shook her head. “I try so hard to be good so my husband, Dannokwon’thave to punish me.”
“Does he punish you often, then?” Mia asked her.
“More than I’d like,” Teebra said. “I don’t mind suckling his shaft afterwards, but he always spanks so hard! And sometimes if I’m especially bad, he’ll take me…take me in my back door, if you know what I mean?” she confided in a low voice.
Mia frowned.
“You mean anally?”
“Yes.” Teebra nodded, her long silver hair swishing around her face. “That’s only when I’mreallybad though, and he doesn’t do it too often. But he says I have to understand that my body belongs to him and he can do whatever he wants with me.”
Mia clenched her jaw.
“And that’s all right with you?” she demanded. “You don’t mind giving up total control of your body to another person like that?”
“Why would I?” Teebra looked at her with wide eyes. “Women were created to submit and obey and please their husbands—it’s not up to us to say yes or no. We just do as we’re told.”
“I don’t agree with that,” Mia said tightly. “That’s what I was raised to believe too, but it’s bullshit—all of it!”
