"Ah, another late riser. A man after my own heart." The voice was deep and melodious. I was sitting across a table on the terrace from the pasha, who was finishing up his coffee when one of those mincing little manservants had guided me out onto the terrace. He looked as magnificent in the morning sunlight as he had the previous night, fucking Jared in his bedroom. He was in some sort of long, white cotton kaftan—which I was told was called a
galabiyah
when worn by a man in Egypt—that was split at the chest down to his navel, showing off the interesting, short, curly swirls of black hair on his tanned chest and the golden medallion. The galabiyah as loosely woven enough to give hints of the dusky, hard muscled body underneath it.
We spoke of life in Cairo in general and of the ancient city of Luxor, gateway to the tombs of Egyptian kings and queens, where we were to fly today, in particular. We also chatted about the unwavering weather—and even of why it was only the two of us at breakfast now—although I was a late riser, I hadn't thought I'd gotten up
that
late to have missed the others breakfasting—all without any reference to whatever occurred the previous night. Of course there was no reason he would know that I had spied him fucking Jared.
"They are leaving already. The train to Luxor will leave in the next hour," Abazar said in explanation for the missing David, Jared, Stan, and crew. His smile was radiant, his teeth pearly white. "But we can have a leisurely. We will still beat them by flying. But you will be able to be filmed in good afternoon light."
I was surprised that he understood my needs so well and appreciated the importance of them. I also entertained hopes that his remarks meant that we had time for something else, something much more intimate, after breakfast. The attention he paid me and the smoothness of his conversation, touched with innuendo if one was looking for it, I thought, kept me thinking he was playing me for action.
My breakfast had just arrived when he said he had to check the airplane, a Douglas 0-2H two-position biplane he'd bought after its Great War service as an observation plane over northern Africa. I was to be impressed to find that checking the plane required no more than a short walk beyond the stables—that he had his own airfield right here.
He stood, and before I could think anything of it or react in any why, he leaned down beside me and brushed his lips against mine. Beyond the feel of his fleeting kiss, I could only remember the flash and amusement in his eyes as he kissed me. And then he was gone. He needed to do no more than that to have me panting for him.
I ached to have him inside me. I hated Jared at that moment more than I ever had. I wanted it to have been me, draped back, arms and head dangling toward the floor, with Rushdy Abazar bent over me and fucking in long, thick strokes, splattering my hole with cum and then working it back inside me.
I didn't see him again until I was guided to the airfield, covered from head to toe in an aviator's costume, as was he, complete with goggles and holding another pair for me, when I reached the plane.
There was no opportunity to talk during the flight. The noise was deafening, the altitude totally frightening. We came down in Asyut half way to Luxor. Rushdy had said we would because the range on the Douglas was only 400 miles and Cairo was 450 miles in a straight line from Luxor.
While we were waiting on the ground for the plane to refuel Abazar told me of a luxurious small hotel on the banks of the Nile near Asyut that he liked to come to. I thought he was going to ask me if I wanted to go there while we waited, and I was prepared to say yes, if he did. But he made no such overtures. I was about to mention it myself, wondering if he expected me to make the pitch, when we were informed that the plane was ready to fly again.
In Luxor, we spent barely over an hour at the Great Karnak temple down the hill from the Winter Palace Hotel, the grand dame British colonial resort, and on the banks of the Nile. I was costumed as before, as a modern concept of a young ancient Egyptian pharaoh, and was positioned leaning against one of the massive, hieroglyphic-carved pillars of the temple under a beam of light streaming down from a rent in the ceiling. Once again holding a bottle of Him perfume under my chin.
As before, the photography crew milled around outside the footprint of the arc lights while David, treating me icily, was making sure I saw him flirting with Jared. Ever the professional, even when pissed, though, he also fussed around me for the right angle and the perfect focus on not only the Him perfume bottle, but also my boyishly handsome face; puffed-up, blushed nipples; flat belly; and slim hips. He was all business now; no lingering touch on flesh or whispered sexual references.
The pasha wandered around the periphery. He had stripped off his shirt and the hardness and massiveness of his hirsute chest was sending waves of pleasure and want through me the entire shoot. Apparently not understanding that my reaction was for Abazar and no one else, David was impressed enough to compliment me on how sexy I looked, which almost made me forget that I was punishing him.
I had thought I would be needed for the shoot longer, but David waved me away dismissively, saying that Jared would carry the brunt of modeling in Luxor. I was quick to accept Rushdy's invitation to lunch with him at the Winter Palace Hotel, making sure that David had heard both the offer and the acceptance. We ate on the hotel terrace overlooking the Nile, sitting close beside each other. More than once Rushdy placed a hand on my thigh, and I thought I would melt on the spot.
Just with a single brushed kiss and a couple of touches on my thigh, I was already feeling possessed by the Egyptian prince—and I had no objections whatsoever to that. My mind went to what I already knew was hanging between his thighs.
"It seems I have a room here at the hotel even though we'll only be here for a few hours," he said over coffee and dessert. There was a twinkle of humor in his eyes.
Of course he had a room booked here. He hadn't flown me to Luxor just to fly me back without receiving anything in turn.
I no longer had to dwell on what was hanging between his thighs. I took it all inside me, lying on my back on the bed in the Winter Palace suite, the pasha hovering over me, his knees between my thighs, spreading them, his fists pinning my wrists to the bed above my head, his face floating over mine, his eyes watching every expression on my face that he brought out of me by thrusting up deep in my channel again and again until, with a cry, I collapsed under him, suspending my answering rhythmic pelvic thrusts up to meet his down, and his seed flowed inside me. He was a highly competent cocksman, as I knew he would be—and had anticipated that he would be with me.
The flight back to Cairo started with buzzing the valleys of the kings and queens across the Nile from Luxor and Rushdy trying to point out to me some of the nearly hidden tomb entrances folded into the sand hills that already had been discovered and excavated.
It was twilight when we landed in Giza, and Rushdy, noting that since during my first trip to Egypt I hadn't been able to stay at the center of British colonialism in Cairo, in the Shepheard's Hotel, across the Nile from Giza, that we must go to dinner there. But first we must rest.
"Do you remember how to get to your bed chamber from here?" he asked me as we were climbing the stairs on the stone platform that his villa rested on. I answered that I did, and regretted after we parted that I hadn't taken that as a hint and asked him if
he
knew the way to my room. I went to my bed chamber trembling at the expectation that Rushdy would visit me there and fuck me again. But he didn't, and, exhausted from the plane rides and rather too much fresh air flowing over me too strongly and too fast, I did drift off to sleep.
* * * *
Rushdy looked as magnificent in a tuxedo as he had in anything else I'd seen him wear—as, of course, did I. He beamed at me as I came out of the villa and descended the stairs to his yellow Rolls-Royce Twenty drophead coupe.
We dined in the Gentlemen's Dining Room of Shepheard's hotel, the last bastion of British power in Cairo, where no skirt was seen or swished, no man of only middling import was permitted entrance, and no one of Arab ethnicity dined on the main floor. Here among the stark white, starched tablecloths and napkins, the gold-rimmed china, the solid-silver plate, and a blue haze of smoke rising to the pinnacle of the coffered roof above a square room, centered by a three-tiered bubbling fountain, dining galleries bordering a central area, and stained-glass clerestory windows on three walls, dined the brains, financial backbone, literary heart, and waning military muscle of the British empire presence in the Mediterranean and northern Africa.
Pasha Rushdy Abazar and I were ushered with great deference and ceremony across the line of the western balcony tier to a prominent table next to the balcony rail. Most of the eyes of the European and American men sitting at the tables on the main floor below were lifted to follow the transit of Abazar. I noticed many of them looking at me appraisingly before letting their eyes slide back to the pasha. All seemed to be holding their breath, in anticipation of something. With the revolutionary drums of the Wafd Party beating ever more strongly with each passing day, all knew it to be inevitable that on some evening an Egyptian would descend the stairs from the balcony and demand service on the main floor in what now was the Egyptian Republic, under the control, if still largely nominally, of Egyptians. None of the men below would be surprised if that man was Pasha Rushdy Abazar. And none of the British diehard colonialists could be sure that he would be the one to step forward and tell the pasha he could not be served.
As if he didn't know of or care about the tension in the air, Abazar sauntered along behind the balcony maître d' and eased himself into a chair at the prominently positioned table. He encouraged me to stand at the balcony rail for a few minutes and examine the room below, especially the buffet table that we would not be enjoying. The eyes from below that had been following Rushdy's progress across the balcony now automatically turned more fully toward me, and I basked in the attention, being able to discern the lust in more than one face. I stretched my arms out on the railing, puffed out my chest, and reveled in the knowledge that I looked divine.
I was not blind to the fact that Rushdy was putting me on "up yours" display to the Westerners dining below. I'm sure they all were aware of his proclivities and that having me stand at the balcony railing was a declaration that Rushdy of the East was fucking a young man of the West, as he, indeed, had already done earlier that day in the Winter Palace Hotel in Luxor and would, I hoped, be doing in his own palace in Cairo later in the evening.
