Summary
Noble guests arrive to honour Fadl from far and wide, including Fadl's old comrade-in-arms, the Chinese warlord Li Lau. As tension mounts between the guests and their conflicting interests, Jaffar struggles to keep the peace; that, and he also has a nervous wife to calm down. Thankfully, he knows just the right means to achieve both: magic, and his skill as a lover.
***
Fresh from their bath, Jaffar comes to embrace Yassamin from behind; his perfumes wrap about her gently, enfolding her in their dark voluptuousness, his firm and loving care. He nuzzles the perfumes from her damp hair in turn, the jasmine and roses a caress of fragrance swirling sweetly from his lungs into his hips.
"Come to bed," he says, his hands warm upon her stomach, his fingertips playing softly in the dip between her belly and her sex.
Yet, she tarries in a tease, pretending to squirm a little in protest; she smiles at him through her reflection in the glass, adoring the way his eyes spark in delight at this, the way his lips part to reveal his crooked teeth.
He lifts his hands to her breasts; through her nightdress, he can feel her nipples are hard against his palms. "I said, 'come to bed,' wife."
