With skin the colour of the Nile sandy bed, and as smooth as her life giving waters, itâs no real wonder that many see Sadeh as a gift from Bastet herself.
She stood out upon the balcony, thin lace curtains drifting and twisting in the wind that she stood out there to take in, apparently always glad for the night time breeze against her bare flesh, despite her feline features.
As I stepped into my belovedâs room, I could smell the faint perfume she always wore, though never a lot of it. Before weâd been introduced, told that we would be expected to get to know each other *very* well, it had almost infuriated me, the way that her scent just barley tugged at the edges of my senses, making sure I always had it on my mind, but could never guess its origin.
Once weâd began courting though, in return for a massage, the kind I was used to *receiving* from my own servants, she told me that, of course, that was the point of perfume, wasnât it?
âTo stick in the mind of men and make them think of us delicate ladies? Tell me Ser, whenever you catch the smell of the lotus, doesnât it have you thinking of me?â
The girl wasnât wrong... Even after knowing what the scent was, not a single man or woman could bring me a lotus blossom that carried that scent. Every time, I would thank them for their service to their Ser, their Prince, and give them a portion of what I had offered for anyone who found the flower. Once they left, Iâd always see the beautiful tease let another sly, victorious smirk twist her beautiful lips.
To call her beautiful is an insult. Beauty is something that a mortal woman could achieve, but Sadeh, with her tall, hairless, wild cat ears, her long, ever moving, equally hairless tail, and perfect, shapely, tight figure was beyond that. A word didnât exist for her because it had never had to before.
Even now, standing, leaning casually against a stone work rail, on a balcony, luxurious black hair teased by the wind, held mostly in place by the golden decorations that wrapped around or pierced her skin in places most women wouldnât, or couldnât think of piercing, she was the image of the Gods work.
Then, as maybe she noticed my movements, or perhaps felt my admiring gaze dragging over every inch of her skin, she turned her head to face me, fixing me with eyes that shone with the kind of lustrous gold our most skilled craftsmen couldnât even dream of rendering.
I stared back, my own eyes the deep green of my Roman heritage, usually a rarity here, but as unimpressive as the most tarnished copper penny when matched with Sadehâs.
Her smile followed along behind, one that revealed a dazzlingly predatory set of teeth, with four easily visible, slender fangs. Iâd felt those fangs on my throat before during some of our... Meetings... More than fun enough to keep my mouth shut in the hope of feeling them again.
âSpying on me naked now Ser?â She asked, teasing, her body only covered by a gold mantle that she wore around her shoulders, failing to provide any amount of decency on her beautiful breasts unless one of the gold braided tassells happened to sway over her ever erect nipples. Around her waist she wore a belt of the same braided gold, hung with small golden bells that pealed ever so delicately with every shift of her hips. The closest that she came to wearing clothes was a pale pink silk skirt... One that only hung from her hips, was so thin that it may as well not exist, and entirely failed to meet in the front, leaving everything on display.
âItâs not as if you mind, Sadeh. I swear you must just tear those robes my Father gave you off the moment youâre back in your room.â As I stepped inside, I got to fully appreciate the room sheâd been given, graciously by my Father, the Pharaoh the day sheâd washed up on the banks of the Nile, wearing only what she wore now.
âAnd the robes are very nice...â She answered, with the smile she always wore. The smile of a woman who can answer everything I say without stumbling over a single letter.
âBut really, a body like this was *hand made* by Bastet herself to be admired by someone worthy... Is that not you, Cato? Should I cover up my shame until a man deserving of such vile displays comes along?â Her words send a spike of panic through me for a half second, but now, after four months, Iâd learnt to recognise her teasing, sarcastic tone from her usual, teasing, superior tone. It was a lesson I learnt fast.
âCover it up?â I asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion as i stepped inside, closing the door after me... The one that had been left wide open by a certain someone who must have known I wouldnât be able to resist the smell of the lotus flower drifting up onto my own balcony a floor above.
Her smile grew wide, sharp as a sickle, once inside her eyes flicked to the bed in the middle of the room, and I accepted her invitation with a suppressed eagerness, moving to the bed, glad to me wearing nothing more than a loose fitting waist-cloth, and my usual gold jewelry, though really it paled to Sadehâs.
Once I was sat, I began to turn, to face my half god lover, only to find her leaping through the air, her body following a line in liquid grace, her slender curves and beautiful gifts shown perfectly in the candle light around us that glinted off her perfectly sun touched skin.
As she landed, cat like grace in the silent way she did, her hands both lifted to my shoulders and she planted me down hard into the bed. She may look like a delicate flower, but the woman had all of the strength of the Lioness to go along with the perfect grace.
I ended up looking up into the shimmering rings of molten gold that barley held in her sharp, catlike pupils, now looking down at me with the kind of excitement Iâd often seen in the cats who roamed the palace when they spotted a particularly juicy mouse they could take their time with. In Raâs name, her hips even swayed back and forth in that same way, her tail lacing itself through the air behind her head.
I raised my hand to her chest, beginning to slowly stroke along the soft raises of her ribs, each one just barley noticeable under my fingers as I ran my hand slowly up, ending with it holding one of her plump breasts, feeling the low purr in her throat that thrummed all the way down here, low in her bust. Her eyes half closed, and she ran herself against me, gracing her body against mine in a way that felt oh so perfect... The soft touch of her silken skin, the delicate touch of it, so dry and yet so smooth with the thin layer of that perfume she must have oiled into herself once being back in her room.
The scent set my hear to racing, and my mind on fire with the burning passion of fleeting desires who ran rampant across my mind. I wanted to grab Sadeh and hold her,pull her against me and have her all to myself... But I knew by then all too well just how the sly cat liked her play time.
Her laugh came as soft as the sea wind, and just as tempting, her lips brushing my ear with a teasing kiss as she spoke into it so closely that I heard the soft sound of her lips parting, of her tongue moving wetly inside her mouth, even the ghosts touch of her lips against my ear with them being so close...
âYou always get so excited when I get closer to you Cato... I can hear your heart all the way up here... Smell that intoxicating scent you always give off when youâre excited... Hell, I can even feel other parts of you paying me the closest of attention...â At that, her hips moving in a fluid motion, and her bare heat ground against the admittedly hard to conceal erection Iâd had all this time.
âWhatâs wrong Cato? Is a Ser used to always getting what *he*wants when *he*wants it?â She asked, tempting me further as I lifted my hand and laid it over the back of her neck, stroking at it gently to her quietly purring satisfaction as I answered.
âOf course I am, Sadeh... But when it comes to someone as perfect and precious as you, I think patience is more than a worthy sacrifice when it comes to keeping your company...â I lifted my hand, slowly from Sadehâs neck, and then let a pair of fingers touch the dip at the top of her spine, those two fingers, barley more than the nails really, slowly ran down along her spine, grazing it in a way that gave her just a taste of the teasing she loved to put me through. Around the base of her spine, just before her hips, she shook all over, her tail went stiff and straight, and the it shivered, her purrs growing out of order for a moment, and her cheek rubbing against mine like a cat claiming itâs favourite piece of furniture.
âM...Hmmm...â The cat answered, satisfied, and then pulled away, striking me with those eyes again as she flashed a beautiful white smile.
