On the verge of pleasure
Jamal cupped one of her breasts and she moaned in ecstasy. The moan was all the agreement Jamal needed. He brought her lips closer to his and kissed her softly at first. When she opened up for him, he kissed her greedily as if he was searching for his soul in her mouth. He picked her up and laid her on the chair, flat on her back, then resumed his duty of devouring her lips. After a minute, he let go of her lips and began to undress her. When she was completely naked, he drank in the beauty of her body for a moment before he returned his lips back to hers.
Few minutes later, Roksolana was turning and tossing about in his arms. He guessed that her body wanted more and he inserted a finger into her virgina. The loud moan that escaped her mouth told him that he had guessed correctly. He began to move his finger in her at different tempos, eliciting different ranges of sound from her. When she was over the edge, Jamal pushed a second finger into her and she exploded. Her scream filled his ears and his body groaned in reaction.
He wanted to be in her desperately, but he had promised her and he wasn’t going to go back on his words. He wanted her to see that she could enjoy lovemaking with him and he was glad he had been able to satisfy her if the heavy rising and falling of her chest was any indication.
Roksolana threw her eyes open and saw Jamal still looming over her. She smiled at him shyly as he helped her up. Even though she had felt better than she did last time, she still felt a little bit empty inside her. She couldn’t exactly fathom why she still felt that way, and she was too shy to tell him about how she felt. Jamal sat down on the chair and drew her back on his lap. They maintained silence for a while and Roksolana played with his fingers.
“Stay here tonight,” Jamal told her.
“I can’t. The others would be looking for me,” Roksolana told him.
Jamal groaned as she took one of his fingers in her mouth and suckled. The action aroused a new feeling in her and she kept sucking. The more she sucked, the more Jamal groaned. A minute later, the groaning turned into moans from him. He took hold of one of her breasts and began to squeeze roughly. Roksolana moaned too from the action. At one point, she didn’t know if she should continue sucking on Jamal’s finger or if she should just bask in the way he was molding her breast. A knock at the door took that decision from her.
Jamal hissed loudly as Roksolana scrambled out of his laps and began to dress very quickly. He was going to kill whosoever was at the other end of the door. Just when he was beginning to think that Roksolana might give in to him, the person had chosen that moment to disrupt the atmosphere he had carefully created. Jamal waited until she was completely dressed before he grunted out an answer at the intruder.
“What?” He yelled at the door.
“Sorry, Sultan. We didn’t mean to disturb.” He heard a small voice answer from the other end.
“What do you mean we don’t mean to disturb? She said she was coming to look for him and we haven’t seen her since lunch. Of course, we are here to disturb.” Another voice said loudly.
Jamal knew that there were two females at the other end of his door from their voices and wondered what they wanted. One timid and the other quite vocal? What an interesting mix, Jamal thought. He was about to send them away when Roksolana spoke.
“Seyiddah, is that you? Azeezat? Come in.” She called out.
Jamal grunted at the order she gave. Why would she tell them to come in? He hated when women trotted his home. But, he didn’t revoke her order. As long as she was happy, he was willing to make any sacrifice. He watched in silent agony as the two women walked in, bowed to him in greetings at which he merely grunted an answer. The women looked from him to their friend, then back to him. The one called Seyiddah opened her mouth to say something while pointing at him, but the princess slapped her hand over the woman’s mouth to stop whatever she wanted to say. The princess apologized for their intruding and dragged Seyiddah back with her to the door.
“Wait for me.” He heard Roksolana tell her friends. He watched in disbelief as she ran after the two women who were already out of the door.
“But…” Jamal tried to stop her, but she was already out of the door too. Jamal sat down back on the chair and sighed. His entire body felt like it had just passed through fire and was just cooling. Deciding on second thought, he strolled outside and ordered two guards to follow Lady Roksolana and her friends. He told them to make sure that they got back to the harem safely. He also instructed the guards to make sure they reported back to him when they were back. After he was done with the instructions, he walked back to the house, sat on the chair, and cleared his throat.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I have a long night ahead.” He told himself as he cleared his face with his palm.
Roksolana’s friends teased her all through their journey back home, but she ignored them. They first made sure Seyiddah got home safely before she and the princess walked back to the harem together. She noticed two royal guards following them at a discreet distance and she smiled. She knew that the Sultan had ordered them to make sure she and her friends got home safely. As soon as they were at the harem, she bade the princess good night and rushed over to her room to avoid answering any questions. The princess gave her a knowing wink but didn’t say anything to her.
Lady Miriam paced about waiting for her lover to arrive. How dared that devil of a Sultan reduced her to nothing in just moments? He hadn’t even cared about her dignity or feelings, he just did what he wanted to. And that too, without remorse. It was all because of that maid he had brought from heaven knows where. Ever since he had come back with that maid to the sultanate, he had changed into someone else she couldn’t recognize one single bit. She heard the sound of a window creaked softly and knew that her lover had arrived. She rushed over to his side and held his hands in hers.
“How were you so careless?” The man asked her. “First, you got yourself poisoned. Then, you got demoted all of a sudden.” He finished with a sigh.
“How is it?” Lady Miriam asked him.
“His mind is made up. You won’t be getting that position back.” He told her and Lady Miriam sighed.
“What about the antidote?” Lady Miriam asked, moments later. She was beginning to feel the effect of the poison in her body and needed to use the cure as soon as possible.
“I’ll get it across to you soon. For the meantime, I need you to lay low while I find a way to eliminate the other woman. Is that clear?” The man asked in a stern voice.
“Yes.” Lady Miriam answered.
She watched as her lover flew out of the window without another word to her. In any case, she felt so weak right now and knew that she needed to lie down. It was the effect of the poison in her system reacting. She closed the window firmly and went to bed. She missed her lover’s warmth by her side on the bed. She missed their hours of lovemaking. She missed how he could always make her smile. If she hadn’t lost her pregnancy back then because of the Sultan, she would be near her time of labor by now. How time does fly, she thought as sleep took hold of her.
As the man who had just left Miriam’s quarter walked in the darkness of the night, he smiled to himself devilishly. He had realized that Lady Miriam was no longer to his plans when the Sultan had refused to listen to all appeals by his janissaries and had been thinking about ways to eliminate her without arousing anyone’s suspicion. It was just his pure luck that she had activated the poison in her body by drinking alcohol the same day when he had clearly warned her not to do so. What he hadn’t warned her about was the fact that there was no cure for the poison once it was activated. When he saw her just now, she looked pale. This means that the effect of the poison had fully kicked in. She wouldn’t last for two more weeks. He smiled as he went into his house.
