Chapter 2

Maria keeps disappearing.

It was the day after the king’s proclamation and everybody in the Kingdom was in a state of shock. Yes, they expected the king to ask for donations towards the ongoing campaign.

But never in the kingdom's history had he demanded such harsh taxes, many people believed it wasn't the king but his ministers pushing for such high taxes.

And with the Prince away fighting the people could not even appeal to the prince.

Many believed this was what a lot of the nobles wanted all along.

As nobles were exempt from taxes and many rich families only paid a small portion of what they should do.

They just bribed the tax collectors to turn a blind eye to what wealth they really had.

So, the tax collectors made-up the difference by enforcing harsher tax measures on the common people.

Backed up by the swords of the king’s own troops.

Both Joseph and Maria were both puzzled how busy the Tavern was tonight.

They expected people to be staying home and saving their money.

However, the tavern was nearly full.

Yes, a lot of people were travellers and traders passing from market to market and town to town. But a lot of the local people were also in the tavern tonight.

And nearly everyone was talking about the tax raise.

And how would they cope with having to pay so much gold.

It would leave them virtually starving with nothing to buy food for their families with.

And more alarmingly both Maria and Joseph had noticed increased military patrols soldiers on horseback in groups of five patrolling the backroads and the streets at night. Rumours where they were looking out for people who were trying to hide their gold.

So, they didn't have to pay taxes.

Joseph said to Maria, when it was a little quieter that night.

“If the army was fighting such a hard campaign, how come they could spare troops to act as tax officers and enforce tax rules, it did not make any sense.”

Joseph and Maria continued to work hard throughout the night, they would usually close at a certain time but people were still coming and going from the Tavern so while there were people willing to spend gold which the Tavern badly needed to keep its doors open, they decided to keep the Tavern doors open so people could spend the gold they badly needed.

It was a good three hour’s past normal closing time, and they were both starting to get tired however the Tavern was still busy and there was still plenty of work to do. In a short break which they both took.

Joseph joked with Maria maybe they should take on a couple of barmaids.

Maria asked and what do we pay them with.

Joseph just grinned at her.

Maria was seriously worried about the amount of gold that the Tavern needed to keep its doors open.

She had not let on to Joseph about this; she had her own ways of dealing with things.

Over the years she had worked at the Tavern, she had been offered gold for her favours more than once.

She always laughed the offer off and turned them down.

However, she was now starting to think maybe she could start taking some of them up on their offers.

The gold would come in handy.

But she would have to be discreet, so Joseph didn't find out about her earning extra gold.

When Joseph was busy, she quickly disappeared out of the barroom, and she went up to her bedroom.

She had a blonde wig she used to use many years ago when her and Joseph wanted to spice things up in their bedroom, she would pretend to be someone else it always drove Joseph Wilde.

Maria quickly discarded her dress; she then put on a pair of long black boots and a long coat with a hood. Before she put the hood up, she put the blonde wig on her head.

Maria discreetly went down the back stairs of the Tavern to the outer door and went out into the night looking for a punter.

Maria walked around the side of the Tavern towards the stables; she could hear water dripping. When she rounded the corner, she found a drunk man he was swaying on his feet, and he was pissing into a bucket on the ground at the corner of the stables

Maria walked quietly up to the man, her arms wrapped around her coat, hiding her body from the man.

Maria now said to him in her best seductive voice.

“Well hello there.”

He turned to the sound of her voice; she let him look at her for a few moments.

Then she let her coat fall open.

Revealing her full naked body.

She now just stood smiling at the drunken man, who stood looking at her his own cock in his hand. She could see the confusion racing through his mind.

She now said to him looking at his rather large cock.

“Would you like a hand with that.”

The man now still swaying on his feet grinned at her, he then said to her.

“Are you a Whore?”

She just laughed and replied.

“If you've got gold, I will be anything you want me to be.”

The man now pulled a bag of gold coins from his pocket and tossed it to her. She caught the bag of gold. She then looked at it.

She then turned around; she walked to the other side of the stables. She now hid the gold. The man thought she was leaving and he was just about to go chasing after her.

When she returned. She quickly let the coat fall from her body.

She now walked over to the man knelt in front of him and took his cock still smelling and covered in his piss and she started to suck on it.

The man was so drunk, and she sucked his cock so hard it only took a few minutes before he flooded her mouth with his cum.

However, he still was not finished, he now sat on his ass in the dirt, she climbs onto his cock, letting it go all the way into her pussy.

She now moaned out, has his cock filled up her pussy, he now started to thrust up into her cunt, causing her to scream out even more loudly.

The drunken man had sobered up enough to give her pussy a good pounding.

She screamed into the night.

Luckily everyone was either in the Tavern or asleep at their own homes and the soldiers had already patrolled this part of the town.

After 5 to 10 minutes of constant pounding, he filled her pussy with his cum. She orgasmed covering them both in her love juices.

Maria quickly got off the man, who instantly fell asleep his cock still out.

She found an old sack and covered him.

She then retrieved her coat wrapped it tightly around her body and put her hood up.

She then went to retrieve the gold from where she had buried it. She now quietly made her way back to the Tavern. She slipped back up the back stairs to her bedroom. She hung her coat back up in her closet.

She then hid the wig. Maria now put back on her normal clothes and went back down into the Tavern to help her husband escort the last of the customers out of the Tavern.

He looked at her and asked her.

“Where had she been?”

She explained.

“She was helping a drunk customer who had been ill, and she had to mop it up.”

Joseph just nodded to her. He had believed her explanation. Both were now totally exhausted, however Joseph needed to know how much they had taken and how little it would help their situation. Joseph was happy when he counted the gold.

After the running costs for the night and taking off the tax they would have to pay including the new rate. They were still left with 75 gold pieces for the night.

Which was not bad.

Maria now added another 50 gold pieces to his total. Joseph looked at her questioningly. She just smiled and spoke.

“She flirted a bit more than normal.”

And before he could question her any further, she said to him.

“That she was going to the washroom, and she was happy, if he wanted to join her.”

Maria was already in the big wooden bath, when Joseph walked in, He quickly stripped off his clothes and got into the water with her. She just smiled and instantly opened her legs for her husband; within a few moments he was banging away at her pussy. Soon he screamed out in pleasure as he came in her pussy.

After Joseph had come in her pussy, Maria to orgasmed covering his body in her love juices. Husband and wife now giggled to each other as they now washed each other's bodies.

Joseph and Maria now walked naked hand in hand to their bedroom they both got into bed cuddled up next to each other pulled the covers over them both and soon they were fast asleep.
