Pharaoh's First Love

page 18

Her face was a blaze. Between how he talked and acted all she wanted was to smack him. But then she would truly be in his debt. But the insults he slang at her.
She shoved him away and stood with huff of frustration. The sweet scent herbs and flowers stained her skin and hair. Just as her hair grazed his skin when she stood.
"Hmph and you’ll never know, what its like to have full control of me nor what its like for me to be in your bed. Enjoy your empty bed since we both know it’ll be filled with who knows how many concubines once I’ve left "
Issuing her own challenge at this point.
She didn’t stop walking. Hurrying from the room and back home. Her parents asleep and still her brother had not returned. It made her heart sad.
Even into the morning she internally sobbed. Arriving on time and sitting at the table as promised by the time Jin rushed in with Yun following.
"You’re here! Yun look! She came back!" Rushes over and hugs her tightly.
Yun smirked taking a seat within reach. "Good morrow Shelyn. I hope you had no trouble with my brute of a brother last night." He reaches out taking a few strands of her long hair and admires them. "Tell me how it is you haven’t been sold off yet? I doubt even the gold we wear is as lovely." Flirting with this young woman. As Jin finally lets go and tried feeding her.
"Here try this Shelyn."
So much energy so early she could barely think about Helm.
The Pharaoh didn’t make it a point to hold her any longer. He had his fun and in truth he was not trying to force her into an uncomfortable position, just yet anyway. Nevertheless he greedily drank in her scent as it lingered around him for a few moments as she got in her last words towards him. “I guess we’ll see.” He said softly as he tilted his head back and gazed up to the ceiling until she left. This night however he did not call in a concubine. Even if he had some new ones which had been bought or offered as gifts to him he decided to sleep in his bed alone this night, an amused smirk upon his lips as he couldn’t help but quite enjoy the presence of Shelyn. Especially given the fact she actually had a bit of backbone and simply didn’t just bend over just because he laid eyes on her.
By morning he awoke looking fresh as ever anticipating that Shelyn would return eventually. Undoubtedly a servant or two had seen her leave his bedroom so late at night and who knows what sorts of rumors were floating around between the servant class. Not that he cared or minded. It would undoubtedly bother her more than it would ever him. Dressed in only a robe that wrapped around his waist and went down to his ankles the shirtless Pharaoh tiredly meandered his way towards the table while a girl poured him a cup of coffee. “Brothers. Shelyn, pleasure to see you again.” His eyes lifted from beyond the steam of the coffee as they settled upon her. He knew better than to flirt with her before the others, and besides he had a busy day of glass making. He had a habit of making a set of toys for all his new concubines and he couldn’t help but find it humorous to make a set for Shelyn as well. Not that he would see her reaction, but all the same it would be quite the sight to see should she unwrap the gift at a later time. Beyond that he was half tempted to see what new selection of girls were available this week, it was rumored the pharaoh had bedded half the city. Of course that was an exaggeration, but he didn’t quite feel the need to correct anyone about that.
