The flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to Cairo was nonstop. I slept as the airplane flew over the Iberian Peninsula. The sunrise visible through the window on my left woke me as the plane crossed the shoreline into Egypt. I could barely see the eastern edge of the Mediterranean from my position. An announcement in Arabic told the passengers when we could unbuckle our seatbelts after the plane had landed.
There was a newspaper stand on the way from the arrival gate to the baggage pickup. Most of the papers were in Arabic, the language introduced to Egypt about 15 centuries ago, but two were in English. Front page articles in those newspapers told of thwarted attacks in Rome planned by Muslim terrorists. My new master's voice stopped me from picking up a paper to read the details.
"Hello slave," he said.
"Hello Master Gabriel," I replied.
Gabriel wrapped me in his strong arms without another word. His lips found my mouth. I let them open it. His tongue explored the inside like a conquistador. I had to breathe through my nose, he took so long roaming every centimeter. Another organ of his pressed again me. It reached noticeably higher than my belly button. This knowledge made be a bit afraid of what I might experience that night. Fear kept my own organ from rising.
When my master released me, people were staring at us. "Open romantic displays between men aren't socially acceptable in Cairo," he explained, "but you should not worry. My stature will protect you as long as you are tied to me. You can be as flamboyant as you want without fear of attacks. Let me buy you some pastries. The trip must have exhausted you."
He brought me to a shop in the airport where we could sit down for some local dishes. For some reason, an old habit came back to me. Perhaps I was nervous in this new environment. I said the blessing over the pastry before eating it.
Gabriel slapped me on the cheek. "I gave you that pastry, no one else. Don't ever do that again."
My conscious bugged me, but I ignored it enough to quietly apologize. Gabriel accepted my apology with another open mouth kiss. He laughed, saying that I should open my mouth for a kiss every time he slapped me. Telling my conscious to back down, I agreed. He had fun walking me around the airport and slapping me whenever he found a crowd so that they could watch me submit to his kisses.
Gabriel's limousine picked us up outside the airport. We got into the back. His driver and a female servant sat in the front. The moment the vehicle started, Gabriel's hands were all over my body to inspect his new purchase. He didn't even bother to close the partition between the front seats and the back seats. Embarrassed, I moved my hands to stop him.
It was easy for him to pin my wrists behind my back. "You belong to me. You have no right to stop me from doing whatever I want to your body, whenever I want to and wherever I want to. It does not matter who can see me do it to you," he said.
There was a leather strap near each window so passengers could hold on to them for support when the limousine makes sharp turns. Gabriel tied my wrists to the one near me with his head covering. The limousine driver adjusted his rearview mirror to glance at my shame every so often. I could only watch as Gabriel unbuckled my belt, slid down my pants and underwear, and inspected my most private areas as far as his fingers could reach. My shoes and socks came off next.
It took a knife to remove my shirt without freeing my hands. I had come to Egypt with only a shirt on my torso, because I was rather secular by then. Gabriel enjoyed my breasts very much. I was physically fit, but not nearly as muscular as him. The nipple play was new to me. So was the shaving. There was cream in the compartment in the door. That and the knife made my torso silky smooth. He loved the feel of it so much that he had the driver circle a block several times to give him more minutes to caress it.
My master had me put my pants, socks, and shoes on when the limousine stopped. My boxers got tossed into the gutter along with the shredded remains of my shirt. I had to walk topless with Gabriel and his two employees through the open air market. My tanned neck and forearms stood out against my milky white torso. It was obvious to everyone that I was a foreigner. It was obvious that I was Gabriel's by the way he treated me in public.
