Diary of a Temple Whore
Aea woke with a start, worrying that she had overslept on her first day as a temple whore. She had been walked thru the day several times, and was just a bundle of nervous energy now. But Aea noticed that her roommates were still in their beds. So she stretched and smiled. She was looking forward to the services.
But first she had to get herself ready. She would be nude before all the supplicants and her priest, so she had to bathe, smoothe and moisturize her skin, and wax herself properly. Which her friends were looking forward to helping her with. It was going to be a moment of celebration. Fruits and candies, and wine for the maidens of the temple. Which they were served with the mornings of the services.
Then she was supposed to meditate and get herself into the right frame of mind for the services. But she was so nervous about the words and right sequence of events that she kept going over and over what she had to do and say. She wasn’t able to find a moment of calm to center herself.
So Aea went to the head priestess and asked for her help. Which she was happy to do. Aea left her with a smile on her face. Calm.
And went into the sacred room of the temple. It was almost time. The priiest she had been paired with was there. So they ran thru their lines a few times and kissed, so they were comfortable with each other. Before the supplicants were allowed in.
Then they stripped off their robes and gave the cue for the wardens of the room to let the people in.
They were ready to perform the holy marriage now.
