Aidan.”
“No, Mistress. Thank you. Thank you again and again for choosing me. I know men with my coloring are not very desirable, and I know not why you chose me; I only thank the gods for it!”
Cassie pulled Aidan towards her and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him close. He sighed and embraced her tightly, his nose buried in her neck, taking in her scent. He was sublimely happy and so grateful for her precious affection.
His heavily muscled form pressed closely to her, and she reveled in his strength—strength which she alone controlled. She felt a surge of lust generated by the power she held over him. She wondered if this is how men had felt throughout the ages, enjoying their power over women.
Cassie decided she was finished with feeling guilty. This was obviously her life now, and she was going to enjoy it. She soothed her conscience by vowing to take care of them and to never be cruel.
She couldn’t change the way things were done here, but she could make her part of it good. In fact, she realized she no longer wanted to change it; the seductive charms of this world were something she no longer wished to fight.
They stood clasped in a tight embrace for several minutes before she stepped back, smiling up and into his face.
“Aidan, you are so beautiful that when I look at you, I want to touch you, taste you, and feel you inside me. Never feel that you are less than any of others. The Queen Herself desires you. Surely, that is praise enough in itself?”
“The Queen . . . She wants me . . . She desires . . . me ?” he asked. His voice was full of wonder and disbelief.
“Oh, yes! And, it will very difficult for me to not send you to her after my description of your prowess. She asked that I send you to her when I am ‘sated’ with you. I don’t think such a time will come soon, so I may just have to relinquish you to her for a night.” Cassie chuckled at his astonished face.
Aidan was so overcome by her words that she had bound him to her more tightly than any ownership papers ever could have.
They returned to walking through the magnificent flower beds in the Queen’s Garden. Rose-like flowers gave off the sweetest sultry fragrance, and it mingled sweetly with orange-colored blossoms which smelled like jasmine. Aidan named the blooms and told her if they had any medicinal value in addition to being beautiful.
As darkness slowly descended, slaves came around and lit torches, lighting their path back to the Palace, and they slowly followed the path in the torchlight.
Upon returning to her chambers, she found the others playing a card game with strange round cards, but she was too tired to even be curious. Cassie was very sleepy, and she knew she would have to be well-rested tomorrow for her first training session.
They looked up and smiled when she and Aidan entered, jumping to their feet.
She told them she would be training in the morning and gently kissed them each goodnight, ignoring the looks of longing they sent her way. She had neither the energy nor the desire to bring even one of them to her bed that night.

Cassie woke early the following morning and threw on her robe. She walked out of her bedroom and saw her men were just getting up themselves, having fallen asleep on the sofas.
When they saw her, they rose quickly, and she asked for some clothing for training, since she felt certain the silken outfits she had been wearing just would not do.
They brought her a leather ensemble consisting of a sleeveless vest and pants. The leather was soft as butter, and it didn’t squeak at all as she twisted. They helped her to put on soft leather boots, which laced over the pants, while she quickly braided her thick hair and tied it with a leather string. Kai strapped weapon holders on her hips and across her back as Arn came forth holding a broadsword and slid it into the sheath on her hip. Aidan handed her a long
