RECAP OF THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS
This is the story of Sara, a Dutch woman, who is captured by the Barbary pirates on her way to the Dutch East Indies. She is given as a present to the Bey, the ruler of Tunis. His first wife appoints Sara as the nanny of the royal children as the eunuchs deem her too old to be send to their master's bed.
However when they Bey discovers her in his palace garden singing with his children he starts to listen to her stories of the history of her homeland. He realises that her decision to teach his kids foreign languages will help them gain more power. He orders Sara to be brought to his bed as his new concubine.
When he notices the next morning how she reacts to his cat and remembers that that same loving smile was directed to his children he longs to have her smile like that to him as well. He decides to woe her by ordering her to come and wash him in his bath every morning while teaching him all her knowledge. Combining like this ways to learn about new strategies and ways to get her defences down.
In the two following months both seem to really connect. He allows her to share his breakfast and she is getting comfortable being naked in the bath with him. They share stories about their families and teach each other history and languages.
But when he orders her to buy him a slave to act as her assistant raising his family she oversteps the boundaries of her position and buys a family instead. The court gossips about that Christian slave who opposed her lord and master and the Bey is forced to show his authority over her. While the chief eunuch threatens to punish her and prepares to whip her in public, the Bey forces her to have anal sex while the eunuch watches.
However as soon as he has her impaled and crying, he orders the eunuch out and tells Sara to keep wailing without hurting her any further. Afterwards he carries her to his bedroom and attends her discomfort telling her the situation forced him to enforce his authority as her lord and master because otherwise it would have inspired people to disobey his rule.
Sara is completely at a loss. Is the Bey her friend or her foe?
WARNING
This chapter is without sexcenes. I could have continued writing so there would be new ones included in this chapter but work is busy and I think you will like to be able to continue with the story.
----------------------
In the morning Sara dreamed of waking up in a warm and comfortable spot. A feeling of safety and happiness coursed through her. But then she woke up completely and realised she was in bed, the covers tucked up to her cheek and a warm and male body enveloping her. An arm was wrapped around her and a face pressed against the hair at the back of her head. She was in the bed of the Bey!
Suddenly she remembered what had happened the day before. In a flash of panic she tried to rise but he had her firmly pressed against him. The movement caused her to notice a slight burn in her backside and the stiffness of some of her muscles.
The next moment she was pinned down under the man. Hold in a tight embrace. She braced for being taken again when he just kissed her firmly and rose. Laying down she looked up at the man who until yesterday she had become to regard as a friend.
"Let me have a look at your little star my sweet. Turn around."
She lifted her behind up for inspection. A finger rubbed ointment in.
"I am going to send you my hakim. He will treat you and advice you. I am leaving to Kerouan. You can stay here till he comes. Come and lay back down so I can cover you again."
"What is a hakim?" she whispered.
"Not what but who. He is my trusted personal physician. I will order the eunuchs that in this case he is allowed to examine you. Now rest and heal."
"But he will see. He will notice you have not slept with me." Sadness engulfed her and tears ran down her face.
"What of it?"
