Legends of Amacia Attack on Tartarus
Chapter 31: An Intimate Gift

An hour later, Arabella, Selina, Josephine, Naomi, and Harry had finished patching up Hannibal. They promptly took him to the Healer so it could repair the damage that was inflicted upon him after a table opened up in the Healer. In the meantime, Emily was introduced to everyone. When the women of the Emperor’s Harem met her, they immediately adopted and took her in. She found many friends there and took to them like a fish to water, asking if she could spend some time with them. Selina consented because she wanted her to feel wanted and more importantly, because she had many things to do. A place had to be made for their newest family member. In fact, drastic changes had to be made because of it. They needed larger quarters, which Enoch provided without hesitation. Instead of a single room with a bath, they got three rooms and two baths: one main room and two smaller ones to accommodate Leila, Emily, and Rachel. One bath was for the main room and the second bath sat between the smaller rooms with access to both. A small hallway separated the large room from the smaller rooms. All three rooms had access to the hall, which was where the main access to the quarters was located. In a matter of a couple of hours, everything was moved and the new quarters were furnished. Selina stood there in what would be termed the master bedroom with her hands on her hips looking at what they had accomplished with Kida. Kida had her hand on Selina’s shoulder as Selina said, “We really appreciate this, sis. Though we may only get to use it a night or two.”

“Sure thing, sis,” Kida replied pleasantly. “Glad to help. I knew we were going to have to do it so we have been getting things ready. You and Hannibal can’t have much privacy where you were. Now maybe you can.”

Selina touched Kida’s hand, saying, “That’s right. I love them but I’d like to be alone with him at night.”

Kida smiled, saying, “I know what you mean. You really love him allot and want to please him. You also want to look good for him too, right?”

Selina nodded, saying, “Yes. I do. We had our first bath together since his restoration the other night. It was fun. He can be such a clown at times.”

This was a little more info than Kida wanted to know. She knew what they did in the privacy of their own quarters was none of her business. But a thought hit her after Selina told her about the bath and said, “Come with me, sis. I’ve got something I want to show you: something that I will guarantee that he will absolutely love and so will you.”

Selina was intrigued and replied, “Lead the way.” Kida led her back to her quarters and found Electra cleaning it. “Momma, where are those clothes that you have been making for Selina?”

Electra turned with a knowing smile, saying, “In my quarters, Kida, in the wardrobe. I finished making them last night. What, does Selina want to look pretty for Hannibal?”

Selina tucked her head with a slight blush saying, “Yes, momma. The nightgowns are good but, you know.”

Electra chuckled, saying, “You don’t have to say a word, sweetie. Both Kida and I know what you want to do. It’s perfectly natural and okay to want to do so. Go. I think you will be pleasantly surprised and I think he will too.”

Kida then led Selina to Electra’s quarters and Kida pointed Selina to the wardrobe, saying, “Take a look, sis.”

Selina opened the doors and found eight absolutely stunning and right down sexy lingerie outfits: including several teddies and special nightgowns. Each outfit was different in shape, color, and material type. Selina was speechless. It was exactly what she wanted, without a doubt.

“Ah, momma outdid herself this time,” Kida stated pleasantly. “She made me a set right after I married Enoch. He loved them and I’m sure Hannibal will love these as well. Momma has very good taste. She knows what men like.”

Selina literally shook with excitement. She would finally be able to look her finest for him. “I think momma also making another dress for you, but I’m not sure. She is keeping it under wraps. She won’t even tell me about it. I think it’s a birthday present,” Kida added as Selina reached out and picked up the first item on the rack: a halter-top silver satin and lacy teddy with cute little bows lining each side. The teddy was very revealing, obviously something that only Hannibal and Selina were to see. She held it up to her front and looked at it. Just holding it up to her made her feel beautiful.

“Oh, this is fabulous. He’ll love it!” Selina cried joyously. She set it back on the rack and looked through the outfits, stopping at an outfit that resembled the outfit she wore in the Harem, except that it was made of much finer material. She shuddered at the sight of the cup-less crotchless black leather teddy with high-cut legs, low cut Brazilian-cut rear, and a choker collar that supported the teddy with straps. The choker even had a leash loop on it. However, as she stared at the teddy, she noticed even though it was cup-less, it did provide some support for her breasts while framing them and allowing for maximum cleavage view. It had an oval metal loop between the breasts in the center of the chest, holding the leather framing straps in place. The teddy also had a teardrop-shaped hole that started just below the breasts and terminating three inches below the belly button level. Narrow black leather straps laced crisscross across the teardrop hole and on the sides above the waistline, running through shiny metal grommets embedded in the solid leather portion of the teddy. Solid leather framed the teardrop hole on the front of the teddy over to the sides and on the butt. However, the crotchless aspect of the garment left the wearer’s genitals completely uncovered with unimpeded access. Hesitantly, Selina picked up the teddy on its hanger, seeing thigh-length black leather leggings with high-heel boots came with the outfit. A pair of fingerless elbow-length gloves completed the outfit. Her face paled as her eyes grew wide.

“What’s wrong, sis?” Kida asked, instantly seeing Selina’s reaction to the outfit. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“I may have,” Selina admitted in a shaky tone. “This outfit is very similar to what I found myself dressed in when I first arrived in the Harem. It just brings up some sour memories, that’s all. To be honest, I actually liked the outfit, but despised having to wear it openly. Something this risqué should only be worn in private. Never should it be worn openly for all to see.”

“I agree,” Kida answered softly, touching Selina on the shoulder. “Nothing this revealing should be worn openly, but only for your mate in private. To be honest, I have one just like it, but it’s tan and not black. It drives Enoch wild when he sees me wearing it. He loves it with a passion and it really gets him in the mood, if you know what I mean. I bet Hannibal will love this one too.”

“Possibly,” Selina said softly, “But you forget Hannibal was also forced to wear such scandalous attire after he was mutated into Hanna. Still, he does have a soft spot for them. When he was Hanna, Hannibal admitted that these kinds of teddies made him feel so sexy and desirable.”

“Are you going to wear it for him?” Kida asked.

“Yes,” Selina replied with a blush. “Even though it reminds me of my bondage, I do like it and will wear it only in private in front of Hannibal. But there’s not a chance in hell I’d wear it openly. It’s just too scandalous for that.”

“That’s what I figured,” Kida said, smiling warmly as Selina hung up the outfit. “I’m sorry we didn’t take your feelings into consideration when making the outfits, especially the black leather teddy. We didn’t mean to make you so uncomfortable.”

“It’s quite all right,” Selina purred softly. “It’s the thought that counts. That’s all that matters. If a particular outfit reminds me of my imprisonment, it’s something I’ll have to work through. I can’t let it hold me back. Besides, as I said, I liked the outfit. It’s supremely sexy and intimate, something I’d love to share with Hannibal when we’re alone.”

Kida smiled giving Selina a one-armed hug from the side. “I’m glad you like them,” she declared. “I was concerned you might be sore at us for giving you something that reminds you of your time in the Harem.”

“Water under the bridge,” Selina answered, returning the hug. “Don’t think any more of it, sis.”

“In that case, how about giving me your opinion on this outfit,” Kida stated, pulling out a four-piece lingerie outfit unlike anything Selina had ever seen before. “It’s modeled after an outfit I saw some of the women from Cushar wearing. It’s very alluring, but modest compared to that leather teddy. It’s definitely something that you could wear openly if you want.”

“Whoa,” Selina breathed, her eyes getting wide with surprise and delight. “It’s so beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it.” She took the outfit on its hanger from Kida, holding it up to get a good look at it. It consisted of a sleek bandeau bra with a knee-length loincloth-style skirt that could be wrapped around the waist. The third piece of the outfit consisted of a pair of high-cut satin and lace panties with a Brazilian cut on the rear. The fourth part of the outfit consisted of thigh-length stockings. All four pieces were made of silvery shimmering material far finer than the finest satins and silks. The material itself gave the illusion of flowing when looked at. It also had a faint gold tint to it that seemed to sparkle. Furthermore, the material for the bra, panties, and skirt was opaque, making for an adequate, but sexy covering. Only the stockings had a semi-translucent look much like modern pantyhose. Elastic bands were sewn into the pieces in the appropriate places so that they could not be seen. Blush crept into Selina’s cheeks as she stared in wonder at the outfit.

“Do you like it?” Kida asked with a hint of hesitation.

Selina looked at her sister with a broad smile. “As if you need to ask that question,” she answered warmly with a slight hint of sarcasm. “This is beyond fabulous. It’s so seductive, yet modest. If I had this in the Harem, I would have not been nearly as humiliated.” She paused for a moment before declaring, “This is going to drive Hannibal nuts. I know it. It’s the perfect fusion of seduction and modesty, and you’re right about the outfit. I could definitely see myself wearing this one openly. I just love it!”

“I thought you’d like it,” Kida chimed with a chuckle. “It kind of makes up for that other outfit, doesn’t it?”

“Indeed it does,” Selina replied warmly. “Are all of these outfits for me?”

“That they are,” Kida reported. “Why don’t you take them back to your quarters and try them on? Let’s replace something for you to carry them in.” After a few moments of searching, Kida found a shallow box made of something akin to cardboard large enough to carry all the outfits. “Ah, here we go,” she stated in epiphany as she found the box. Returning to the wardrobe, she sat the box on a small table next to the wardrobe, saying, “Let’s put these in here.” She and Selina carefully packed the outfits in the box, and then closed it up. “There you go, sis. You’re all set. Go and be pretty for Hannibal,” Kida stated pleasantly. “If something isn’t the right size, just bring it back to momma and she’ll alter it for you.”

Selina hugged Kida, saying, “Thank you, sis; I must thank momma for these too. They are just what I’ve always wanted.”

Kida returned the hug, and then said, “Off with you now. Go try them on and see what you think.” Selina picked up the box and rushed back to her quarters like a child eager to try out a new toy.

Minutes later, Selina stood in their new bathroom trying on the outfits and looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was thrilled with what she saw and felt, especially when she wore the bandeau bra and loincloth outfit. The material was so soft and silky smooth that it felt like she was wearing nothing at all. The outfits enhanced her physical beauty four-fold, making her look and feel gorgeous. She knew, without a doubt, that Hannibal would love it.

When she grabbed the black leather teddy last, she hesitated for a moment wondering if she truly wanted to wear it. Holding it to her nude form while looking in the mirror, Selina felt chills race down her spine. She started examining the scandalous teddy very closely, from the choker collar all the way to its crotch, replaceing it subtly different from the teddy she wore in the Harem. A gasp escaped her lips as she abruptly saw snap fasteners around the lower sides of the cup-less breasts and around the open crotch. “Oh, my,” she murmured, “Momma made this so I can cover up my breasts and pussy. I wonder where the covers are.” She instantly started looking, replaceing the breast cups and groin cover on the hanger with the gloves. A smile crept across her lips. “Oh, momma,” she whispered gratefully, “You did have my feelings in mind when you made this for me.” This discovery drove away her hesitation, and increased her curiosity of how she’d look wearing the teddy.

In less than two minutes, she’d put on the entire outfit minus the breast and groin covers. Looking in the mirror, Selina gasped in amazement at how sexy and powerful the outfit made her feel. “Oh, my god,” she breathed, “I’m...I’m gorgeous! This outfit is nuclear! I’ll have to beat Hannibal off with a stick wearing this!” She struck several incredibly sexy poses in the mirror, replaceing her passions and libido rising with what she saw. “Oh, you supremely sexy minx,” she crowed, literally flirting with her reflection. “You’re so hot you’re scorching.” She licked her finger and touched her butt cheek, making a hissing sound. Crowing softly feeling utterly empowered and uninhibited by her image in the mirror, Selina broke out laughing maniacally as her pent-up sexual energy overflowed. Her inhibitions vanished and she fantasized mating with Hannibal wearing the outfit, dancing and thrusting her hips erotically as if she were actually mating. She panted and crooned, lost in her fantasy until her reflection caught her eye. A gasp escaped her lips as she saw herself fully aroused physically in the mirror dancing in a very erotic manner. A deep, icy chill raced down her spine as she stopped in her tracks, staring at her sexually aroused image in embarrassment and horror.

“What in heaven’s name am I doing?” she cried in dismay, “I know better than that! I can’t make love with Hannibal yet. Why am I even thinking that? Oh, Lord; please forgive me! I’m so sorry!” Tears and soft sobs rose from her as she cried, “I’m so sorry!”

Cover up, the Holy Spirit whispered coolly in her ear. Cover your shame and don’t do it again. The time will come when you and Hannibal can fulfill your love to one another appropriately. You must be patient. Your time will come.

Selina heard the holy rebuke and stifled her sobs, wiping her tears. “Yes, Lord,” she whimpered, calming down, “Thank you for stopping me. I’m so sorry I lost control like that. I’ll try not to let it happen again.”

See that it doesn’t, the Holy Spirit murmured in her ear. Choose your outfits carefully for some of them are designed to inflame the passions, as you well saw.

“You are so right,” Selina agreed, grabbing the breast and groin covers for the teddy from the hanger. “This one is definitely one of those outfits. I just hope the covers will dampen those flames. I can’t lose control like that again.” When she snapped the covers in place and looked into the mirror, Selina smiled at what she saw and felt. With the breasts covered to just above her nipples and her groin covered, the outfit became much more appealing to her. It still made her feel supremely powerful and sexy, but it didn’t cause her mind to fall into lustful fantasies of mating prematurely with Hannibal, violating her vows. A pleasant chill raced down her spine. “Now there’s a beautiful sight,” she crowed softly. “I like it much better like this. It makes me feel sexy, yet covered. Still, I wouldn’t dare wear it openly. It’s far too scandalous. This one is just for Hannibal and me. I know how much he likes teddies, especially the leather ones. I just hope I can control myself the next time I wear it, especially if he sees me in it. I have to. I must be strong like Hannibal. I can’t let my own lusts and appetites rule me.” She closed her eyes and prayed, “Lord, help me to be true to Hannibal and you. Forgive me for allowing my lusts to burn. Help me to control myself in all ways. Drive away all thoughts that are not of you. Keep me in your light and grace so I don’t sin again against Hannibal and you. In the name of Jesus, I humbly ask these things, Amen.”

The moment Selina uttered her simple, but heart-felt prayer, her peace returned five-fold. A deep, relieved sigh escaped her lips as she again looked into the mirror, seeing herself in the sexy leather teddy outfit. To her surprise, all inappropriate thoughts about mating had vanished with the prayer. She felt in complete control of her mind and body, confident in her strength and will to uphold her marriage vows with Hannibal. Yet she adored the teddy outfit with a passion because of how amazingly sexy it made her feel.

A smile cracked her lips as Selina reached behind her head, lifting her hair while pushing her chest forward and sticking her butt out slightly in a sexy pose. Winking at her reflection, Selina chimed, “Hannibal is going to love this one. He’ll be putty in my hands.” A warm chuckle escaped her lips as she relaxed from the pose. However, a sobering thought quickly entered her head. “But I mustn’t seduce him too much or too quickly by wearing these,” she murmured. “As powerful as he is, Hannibal is still just a man, with all the weaknesses a man has. If I’m not careful, these wonderful outfits may push him too far, especially this one. I’d never forgive myself if I were the reason he violated our marriage vows. But I want so much to show them to him. He deserves to see me at my best, and I want to look my best for him. What should I do, Lord? What do I do?” She stood before the mirror, staring at her reflection pondering what to do.

After a few moments of deep meditation on the question, the still small voice of the Holy Spirit whispered in her heart what to do. “Oh, thank you Lord,” Selina whispered with a soft smile. “I know just what to do now, thanks to you, Father. I must choose which outfits I want Hannibal to see me in for now. Now which ones do I like best?” She instantly realized which outfits had really struck her fancy: the silver satin and lace teddy she first saw when she opened the wardrobe in Electra’s quarters, the bra and loincloth set she’d tried on earlier, and the black leather teddy outfit she presently wore. The first two were much more modest than the others did, though it did make her look very, very attractive, whereas the one she now wore was far more seductive and intimate even with the breast and groin covers in place. But she realized she could only wear one at a time. After a few moments of contemplation, Selina chose the silver satin and lace teddy over the other two outfits, replaceing she liked it best because of its modest, yet seductive nature. Therefore, she stripped out of the leather teddy outfit and put the silver teddy back on as underclothes.

Pausing for a few moments to look again at herself in the mirror wearing the silver satin and lace teddy, Selina smiled warmly, adoring what she saw. She felt so beautiful, sexy, and confident. “He’s going to love this,” she murmured, turning away from the mirror with a wink and a seductive smile. “Oh, well...I guess I need to get back to work.” In moments, Selina put her dress back on over the silver teddy, replaceing the teddy worked exceptionally well as underwear. Two minutes later, she had gathered the other outfits and stored them in her dresser. As she put the leather teddy away, she removed the breast and groin covers from the teddy, carefully storing them with it and the gloves. The leather leggings and stiletto boots went into the bottom drawer of the dresser since it had nothing in it. Selina then checked to see if everything else in their quarters was where it should be. Finding everything in its proper place, she left.
