Emissary (Book 1)

Welcome

It rang in my head like a church bell. Her hand must have stung from the force of her slap. My cheek surly did. "This is for making us believe you were dead." Maria said as a single tear trickled down her cheek. Then she turned around and went back inside the house without saying another word.

When I arrived to the school in Cairo I went straight to the house where Mistress Maria resided together with her female students. The men and boys were housed in the main school compound next door. I thought if I visited the female quarters first, my transition back into the school would be much gentler. I was wrong. I had not been to Cairo for more than two years. I left with five of my best friends because master Badr requested our presence in Acre. I returned because he ordered me to come back. Non of my friends did. They all died because I ordered them to. It was difficult for me to come back to those friends I left behind. So I stayed away to be welcomed back with a slap on my first day. I deserved that.

More than ten surprised girls stood on the porch of the house looking at me get slapped. They must have wondered , how dare this scruffy eighteen year old young man rile up their mistress so?! Some of the girls I recognized, a few I had fucked before, while others were completely new to me. Then it was their turn. Once again the church bell rang, not once but twice.

"This is for not telling us you didn't die," Joel slapped.

"This is for not telling us you're still alive," Luna concurred.

Then they both hugged me like I was their long lost brother. It was a very touching reunion. After all the pleasantries were over I was finally welcomed back into the house and lead straight to the bath. I stank from blood. I had just slaughtered a man, his wife, his kids, and two of their kittens. However that was something I could not divulge to anyone. It was still a state secret until master Badr tells me otherwise. He was the one who ordered the hit and he should be the first to be told about it. Of course everyone knew about it already. Egypt was in turmoil. I had just killed the greatest General of the Fatimid Caliphate and fucked his wife. I preferred that secret be kept hidden as long as possible.

The water was warm and I laid naked in a tub as two of the most sensually experienced ladies in the whole of Egypt gave me a bath. Joel was on my right, holding a bar of soap in one hand, as she waved it on my chest. Luna was on my left working those suds deep into my skin. They were both naked like the day they were born as they sat on the edges of the tub scrubbing me clean. I barely managed to fit in that stone tub which was filled with hot water before I went in. I always loved to have a bath especially when a woman or two or more shared it with me. Who wouldn't.

Joel had flourished very well since I last saw her. I remembered our days when she taught me German as well as a few of her other tricks which she hid under her belt. Her blue eyes, beautiful face and lean body was a wonder to behold. She was a sensual dancer with long legs that were as deadly as her killer hands. I was told she was sent on a few secret missions of her own which I did not dare ask her about. You don't ask a girl who she fucked and how she killed. You're liable to get screwed in your sleep. So I didn't ask.

As for Luna, she was a lovely, bubbly girl, a little plum in the waist, with succulent breasts that would smother you to death as you smile. She was a little older than Joel and myself, with a mouth that could suck you to death. Don't get me wrong. She was death, a killer who can use all her assets to her advantage. I had enjoyed the company of her lips on many occasions and I know how deadly they can be. She took it easy on me that night.
