Haruna didn't walk fast. It was not lady-like to walk fast. Willem had to put in some effort to go as slowly as she did, but soon he found a rhythm of walking that worked. The hood was well made. It was large enough to keep his face in the shadows but he could see much of the streets they walked through.

Haruna nearly whispered at him, explaining where they were. They left the area where the gentry of the town lived. "We reach the market street soon."

Once there, Willem had to pay attention to keep moving. There were so many strange and new things to see, he could have spent the entire night there, just watching.

At some point Misako said something, but Haruna didn't want to hear about it. Haruna spoke quietly but the way she did that sounded close to angry. Willem wondered what that was about, but if the lady was so fierce in her words, even if he didn't understand them, it was better to stay quiet. He'd figured that out early on here.

They turned into a side street. That was quite narrow, three people couldn't walk abreast here. Willem almost made up for two Japanese, so he had to walk very close to Lady Haruna. Why were they here, he wondered. This was an almost dark street, no shops, nothing.

Then, all of a sudden, two men seemed to drop out of the sky. Misako yelped. Willem pushed Haruna behind him and held his staff up, even though he wasn't used to doing anything with it.

One of the men held a knife. The light of a lone candle flickered on it as he charged at Willem, who swung the staff at the assailant. To his surprise, the man easily jumped over it and slashed at the sailor. It was more luck than anything else that Willem didn't get hurt.

He dropped the staff and grabbed. Somehow he got a handful of clothing, yanked the man close, lifted him up and threw him at the other man, who seemed to be waiting. Willem's size and strength were beneficial now.

The two men rolled over the ground.

Willem looked at Haruna. "Go back, " he said, then turned to the two men again. They had recovered and came at him again. Quickly he picked up the staff and swung that left and right as fast as he could. Somehow he poked one man in the throat. The other one, who had no knife, hit Willem in the chest. It punched the air out of him, but the small man was within reach of the sailor's long arms. Willem grabbed him and fell over forward, on top of the man. Something cracked.

The sailor needed time to get his breath back. How could such a tiny guy hit so hard, he wondered.

"Wi-ram... Wi-ram..."

He heard Misako's voice. "Yoi... yoi..." he said, repeating the word for 'good' a few times. He rolled off the man, who hadn't moved nor made a sound. Slowly he sat up and looked at Haruna's servant. "Yoi."

She knelt down and looked at him, talking rapidly. He didn't understand a word, but it was more than clear that they had to get away from here. This was not a good place.

Willem nodded, got up, and picked up the stick. The man he'd fallen onto still lay there. His head was turned in a very strange way. Was he dead?

Misako didn't give him time to find out. She pulled him by the arm and he followed.

They joined Haruna, who had been waiting in the shadow at the beginning of the street, where they'd come in.

"Are you hurt?" she asked.

"No. They are, " he said, pointing back. "Who are they?"

"First we go." Haruna looked shocked, which was no surprise. Being ambushed like that was not something Willem had counted on.

As they returned to the house, Willem was told to leave his staff just inside near the door. It was not something to be taken into the inner quiet of a home.

Haruna went to the living room and knelt down at the low table.

Willem took off the large cloak, put it away and sat down opposite her. "Are you okay?" he asked. He really worried about the woman because he saw genuine fear in her eyes.

"You saved me, " she said, her voice shaking.

"I had to, " he said.

Misako came in with tea and knelt down with them, pouring the dark liquid in small cups.

"No. You don't understand." Haruna took a deep breath. "I wanted to test you. I arranged for someone to attack. To see how you would respond. But not there. These two were there to kill me."

Willem stared at her, then at Misako, who looked at the table. "You arranged an attack?" he asked.

Haruna nodded. "I need to know who you are, Willem. Inside. I know you are tall and strong. Now I know you are brave and able to fight. It was not the way I wanted to find out."

"Because your man would not have done any real harm." Willem understood that, while he was still trying to come to grips with the idea that she'd actually planned something like that. Instead of that, they'd run into an actual ambush in that dark street.

Haruna nodded and said something to Misako, who quickly got up and hurried away. "And you dealt with two street fighters. Unprepared." Then she moved back a little and bowed to him. Willem was stunned. She was an upper class lady. She wasn't supposed to bow to him. "I owe you my life, " Haruna said after sitting up again.

"I'll save you as often as I have to, " Willem simply said. He had taken a sincere liking to this woman. It was probably more, but he didn't dare to admit that to himself yet, and definitely not tell her.

Misako returned with a small tray. On it a small flask and two tiny cups. Willem knew what that flask contained. Sake, the Japanese rice wine. The girl poured them both a small amount of the wine.

Haruna took a cup. Willem took the other.

"Soon I must introduce you to Lord Masamune, " she said unexpectedly. As she saw the surprise on his face, she added, "He often leaves, and he worries about me. He told me I need a bodyguard. I want him to accept you as my bodyguard."

"Lord Masamune..." Willem didn't know much about him. The man was married to someone else. Haruna was said to share his bed at times but she told Willem that this was merely a rumor Masamune had brought into the world. It made him look virile, which he wasn't. Haruna had learned Dutch, as she liked to learn many things, and that made her valuable for Masamune.

"He is a good man, Willem. Rough and strict, but good." Haruna sipped from the sake. She turned to Misako and quickly spoke, after which the girl got up and hurried away.

The lady carefully put down the little cup and undid the waistband that kept her robe closed. Almost lazily the robe fell open, showing her pale skin and divulging a little of her breasts. "I know you are good at guarding my body, Willem." Slowly she made the robe slide down her shoulders, her eyes locked on his face. "My body appreciates your guarding."

Haruna got up, walked around the table, and knelt down close to Willem. She undid his belt, opened his robe a little, and ran her hands over his chest. "And it appreciates your body."

Willem shrugged off his robe and watched her face as she ran her hands over his skin. For a moment he remembered Annie, his wife back in Holland. She'd probably heard of his 'death'. Then he looked at Haruna again, at her fine features and her big black eyes. The sailor admitted to himself that he was falling in love with this woman. Truth be told, he'd done that long ago, but he'd never dared to accept that.

As Haruna's hands stopped moving, she looked at him and asked what he was thinking.

"I..." Still he couldn't say it. He didn't know if it was dangerous. Instead he pulled her close and held her naked body tightly against his own. "I will guard you always, " he said.

"Yes. You will, " she whispered as her hands found his hard cock. "And you will pleasure me and fill me as often as possible."

"Yes."

"And Misako. For my pleasure."

Willem grinned. "Yes."

Misako more and more was part of their sex play and the servant didn't seem to mind that one bit.

"She will come back." Haruna squeezed his cock. "We won't wait."

Willem lifted her up and pulled her into his lap, lowering her slowly so she could guide his cock. He noticed she wasn't very wet yet, but that never stopped her. As soon as his cock entered her, she'd start flowing, so after a few gentle pushes his cock was deep inside her.

Haruna rode him, looking at him. Her face told him how much she enjoyed this. Fucking her this way was one of the things he'd thought up to break the standard way she'd started with, and she'd told him how good it was.

At times she rose up a bit higher, so he could suck her nipples, and he did that with gusto.

As they were going, Misako came in. No one said a word. She simply dropped her clothes and knelt down with Willem and Haruna, knowing she'd be involved soon.

Haruna held on to Willem's shoulder with one hand and leaned back while continuing her up and down motion on his dick. She whispered something in Japanese, after which Misako leaned over and started suckling one of Haruna's nipples, while sliding a hand down to play with her mistress's pussy.

Willem didn't know if the woman did it on purpose, but she touched his cock each time it came out of Haruna, and a few times one of her fingers went inside with it. It added a special sensation to him fucking the lady. It surprised him a bit that Haruna didn't even mention it, but then, if the feeling for her was as good as it was for her...

Again Haruna said something, which made Misako sit straight up again. The lady stopped riding Willem's cock and slipped off the thick rod. She smiled as she moved back a little and lay down, her legs wide.

The sailor wasn't sure what would happen. Misako was. She knelt down between the spread legs and leaned down, slowly licking Haruna's pussy lips. Her ass pointed up and was an open invitation to Willem, who got behind her, lifted her up a little as her legs were a bit too low for him, and then shoved his cock inside her.

"This is such good sex, Willem, " Haruna said in between gasps. "We all enjoy."

Willem knew that Misako's licking was 'enhanced' by him fucking the young woman, which made her tongue bounce of Haruna's pussy even more. It was obvious that Haruna was quickly worked up by that, because it only took a few minutes before she had an orgasm, squirming, squealing, and burying her hands in Misako's hair to keep her face in place.

Willem stopped fucking the servant, or Haruna would be overstimulated, and she didn't respond well to that most of the time.

"Ro ku, ro ku, " Haruna sighed as the waves slowly subsided. Willem knew that means 'excellent'.

Misako took matters in her own hands now, turned to Willem, and started sucking his cock with a zeal that stunned him. The entire fuck fest had turned him on a lot, especially the view where he fucked Misako while she got her lady off, so he didn't need much to get off. As if Misako knew, she started jacking him off and caught most of his cum on her face.

He groaned as she squeezed every last drop out of him and then let go, carefully licking some of it up.

Haruna sat up now, took Misako's face in her hands, and started licking the blobs from her servant's face. When the face was all clean again, both women looked up at him until he knelt down with them.

"You taste good, Willem, " Haruna said. "Misako agrees."

"You two also taste good, " he said, not knowing what else to say after his cum explosion and seeing what they did with that.

"Now we sleep, " Haruna decided. She got up and lay down on the futon. Misako also got up and waited for Willem to lie down next to her lady so she could cover them with the comforter. After that, the servant went around to extinguish the lights, and to Willem's surprise she then slipped under the comforter, on his other side.

"Oyasuminasai, " she whispered. Good night.

Willem fell asleep with a smile on his face and arms of both of them over his chest.
