feel of his hands on her body, out of her mind.
She closed the book and slumped
back in the lounge chair, cursing herself. Why had she been such a fool? She'd
been so afraid that the morning would shatter the magic she'd found in his arms
last night, so sure what they'd done had meant nothing to him, other than a
wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, that she'd come out fighting instead of waiting to
gauge his mood.
She fidgeted with the book and
tossed it on the table beside her chair. She had purposely hidden her virginal
status from him, specifically because she selfishly wanted him to make love to
her and feared he might have stopped.
It seemed she'd been right about
that. He would have stopped.
In a way, she was just as guilty of
using him as he was of using her. Maybe more.
Now, she realized she'd boxed him
into a corner. He would not approach her again. He was struggling with a matter
of honor.
She longed to see the unguarded
Kadin of last night once again. The sweet lover who had laughed with her, who
had given her the sweetest pleasure she had ever experienced.
Her body longed for his touch. He
would probably send her away now, presuming his original purpose, to have her
repay a debt—even though she now suspected that had been a ruse—was complete.
He seemed to consider it overpaid.
She wanted to experience him again
as a lover. She wanted to see if there could be more between them.
She
had to find a way to draw him back to her bed.

"It is hot. Too hot for you, I think."
Angelica turned at the sound of a
Jazlyn's voice.
She was right about the heat.
Angelica's light gown was drenched with sweat and the air felt like a giant
weight pressing down on her.
"There is a pool. Cool water.
You come?"
"That's a wonderful idea."
Angelica stood and followed Jazlyn inside.
They crossed the bedroom, then out
the door to the wide hallway leading to other parts of the palace. The cool
marble floor felt good on her bare feet.
A few moments later, she followed
Jazlyn into a private courtyard, filled with flowers. They walked past the
fragrant garden towards a large pool with soft, curved edges. What captured her
attention, however, were the women. At least twenty of them, all totally naked,
lounged around and in the pool.
Jazlyn stripped off her gown and
glanced at Angelica expectantly. At first, she hesitated, then decided there
was no point in being shy. Kadin would not come out here. He wanted to stay
away from Angelica, she was sure. And the women wouldn't care about her nudity.
She tugged the gown over her head
and Jazlyn plucked it from her hands and laid it in a heap with her own. As
they stepped toward the pool, Angelica couldn't help staring at all the
beautiful, naked woman-flesh. There were small breasted and large breasted
women, petite to voluptuous. All happily relaxed with their nudity. Angelica
leaned over the pool and splashed a little water on the hot stone edging to
cool it off, then sat and dangled her legs in the water.
"Oh, miss, you must be careful
of your fair skin. The sun will burn it crisp."
Jazlyn sat beside her and pulled a
jar from a bag she'd carried with her.
Naja appeared beside Angelica.
"Good afternoon." Naja
plucked a brush from the bag and brushed Angelica's hair with long, soothing
strokes, then twisted it and clipped it at the back of her head.
Jazlyn opened the jar and started
spreading cream on Angelica's shoulders. Finished with her hair, Naja began
spreading cream, too.
"It will protect your lovely
skin from the sun," she said.
While Jazlyn's hands caressed down
Angelica's back, Naja's hands proceeded down Angelica's chest, then below her
breast.
"I … uh … can handle that,"
Angelica said.
"Nonsense," Naja said, as
her hand slid up and over Angelica's breast. "It is relaxing to have
someone else do this. And I know how much cream you need. It is different than
what you use in your country."
The feel of the woman's hand
stroking over her breast sent Angelica's head
