No,
princess, you are the tease, the taunt. The one who flaunts her body and knows
that I have all the power and yet you remain a virgin. You deny me, yet touch
yourself in front of me. And did I rape you? ” He ground out the words as he held her close.
    Katharine flushed at his vulgar words.
    “ Let
me go back to England. Please, ” she asked. She cringed at her subservient position. “ You have a harem full of beautiful women.
One worthless woman cannot matter so much. ”
    “ I
will never let you go, ” he told her quietly as their eyes met.
    “ You
would prefer a broken woman? ” Katharine asked, shocked that he would not release her.
    “ Broken? ” He snorted and released
her from his grip. “ The
little hoyden who hit me is broken? Ha! The woman who mocks me and would rather
be a bather than in my harem is broken? Broken indeed. ”
    Katharine turned to go, but he pulled her back to his chest.
His body was muscular and warm while hers was soft and cool.
    “ And
princess, you are anything but worthless, ” he said. His mouth touched her ear and his hands pulled her bottom into his
hard cock.
    “ You
are worth the entire harem and more. And I will have you, ” he said. With that, he
finally released her and walked away.

    Katharine slept little that night. She didn ’ t know why she taunted
him. Maybe she did enjoy teasing him, but she knew she could never give into
him. Once he claimed her, she would grow to hate him, so she could not submit.
    She hated the harem and its women but she had forged a
simple friendship with Bashasha for all her strange and foreign ways. The older
woman was kind and motherly and looked after the harem women to make sure they
were healthy.
    As his bather, Katharine would be sent for whenever he
required her, and she would be in contact with him much more so than before.
She cringed at the thought. She had considered running away, but she was a
foreigner in this land; her hair and eyes would be difficult to hide. If she
ran, the sheik would find her and bring her back. If that happened, she would
be made to submit to his will if for no other reason than his pride amongst the
tribe and his people. She would require help to escape and that remained always
in her mind.
    Yasmeen, the Sheik ’ s
wife, continued to ignore her for the most part, and for that Katharine was
grateful. Once the beautiful sulky bride learned of Kat ’ s new duties, she would surely be a target
for abuse. As for the rest of the harem women, they ignored her and she was
content with being alone.
    The harem women had settled into their life at the palace
and were much happier than they had been in their own villages. Many of them
would have been sold to elderly men as wives or would have had to sell their
bodies for money. Though Islam considered this practice a sin, it occurred
everywhere, especially when the families had no sons and only daughters.
Sometimes a sister was sold to help a brother achieve a higher status. Thus,
the harem women were well cared for, fed, and led very idle lives in the
palace.
    ***
    Abdullah watched the Sheik absorbed in his work. They had
finished court and he had watched Mohammed settle many problems that day. He
was wise and fair, much like his father before him.
    He could see Mohammed ’ s
mind had drifted, and Abdullah knew exactly who he was thinking about. Abdullah
kept one of the harem women well-stocked with opium and she, in turn, spied for
him. She had informed him that the white girl recently sold to the harem was
raging a battle with the sheik. She would not share his bed and she had been
made a bather by the sheik.
    Abdullah loved and respected his sheik and worried about
this new intrusion into their way of life. He thought about selling the “ Sahera ” to another sheik, but
that would not be possible. Mohammed would not allow the witch to be sold.
    He worried constantly for Mohammed and prayed to Allah to
bring him a son from the little minx
