The Concubine...Part Two
Let's see...where were we? Oh yes...Steven has been instructed to wait for me in my room while I rejoin my party for a bit.
I sneak out of my party, as everyone has become quite drunk and boring, and I have a throbbing headache. (I needed an excuse to say 'throbbing!' Tee-hee!) I make my way to my room, and find my faithful servant waiting for me, in the dark. He's sitting cross-legged on the floor, with the moonlight shining in on him, giving hin an unearthly glow. I just stand there, silently in the dark, admiring the beautiful creature sitting so serenely before me in the moonlight.
Steven senses my presence. He rises to his knees, and bows to me. "I trust Your Majesty had a pleasant evening?"
Slightly startled, I reply "Yes, quite pleasant...I think I'll end the evening with a bath before bed..."
Steven slowly rises to his feet, and for the first time I notice how tall he is. "My Queen has had a very long day. I've already drawn your bath for you. The warm water will help ease the ache in your head."
How did he know my head was about to split? I smile up at him. "You haven't been in my service for a day, and already you know what I need..."
Steven steps closer to me. "And I promise, My Queen, to quickly learn learn what you desire."
With folded hands, he gives a small, reverent bow, and helps me out of my clothes. I'm amazed at the grace and ease of his large hands as he works with all of the intricate fastenings of my garments. (Must be all of that training!) I sigh with relief as the heavy clothing slides down my body, grateful to be relieved of their weight. I watch as Steven removes his clothing from his upper half of his body, allowing the fine silk garments to slide sensuously over his skin. He still wears a long sarong, slung very low on his hips. (What a tease!) Unconsciously, I allow my eyes to roam over his bare flesh, again noticing what a magnificent creature he is. Steven noticed. "I hope my Queen finds her humble servant suitable..."
In reply, I run a hand over his chest, and down to his belly. "Hmmm...you'll do...."
More later!
