Sara danced, twirled, twisted, and gyrated before the Sharif's throne. It was her best work.
The folks on Broadway would cream their pants if they saw me like this.
A few of the throne room guests looked to be doing so already. Not all of them were male.
The Sharif watched from his throne, but his face held a detached mien.
No tent in his pantaloons, but he probably has a shielding tatt on him.
Sara had learned a few things during her captivity on Slave World.
As it stood, the Sharif's guests were not the audience. Her performance was for a single person. The dance she performed was the Seven Veils. The client was the nude, wide-eyed young man, standing at the entrance to the throne room, with a giant erection jutting from his groin.

The days, weeks, months of captivity in the harem were a period of adjustment.
Sara learned the politics quickly and well. Evanna, while not too close, proved an excellent teacher. Charla, after her own fashion, was a good instructor as well.
Outwitting the tiefling, and keeping her kind at bay, helped with handling the lower-ranked slaves, often sycophants of Charla, if not her directly.
A point of interest, and jealousy, to the other women was Sara's status as the Sharif's favorite... apparently.
He certainly called her to his chambers often, to Charla's smoldering envy. The others were curious, except for Evanna. Gossip, rumor mongering, and speculation saturated the atmosphere.
Sara told the women nothing, nor would she even if permitted. The Sharif did not want sex, but information, mostly about Earth.
"Midgard here," she thought.
His curiosity was intense, about where she came from, events on Midgard before her abduction, her earlier youth.
She was curt and suspicious those first few months.
What's he up to? Why these questions?
She warmed, gradually, as the months passed. The Sharif made no other moves towards her. If any, it seemed as if he was studying her, making an assessment. His demeanor softened over the following months, and Sara responded to that.
One day he asked, "How good of a dancer were you?"
"I was very good."
"Can you still do it?"
"I think so."
"Can you demonstrate?"
Sara performed the moves she created for her last audition, before her abduction. She was out of practice, and it showed, but she did well enough.
The Sharif's face wore a pensive look, but he nodded. "Thank you, Sara Sundstrom."
At their next meeting he had her sit. He was very to the point.
"I have a task for you, and it will most likely involve those things I inferred at our first meeting."
Sara kept her face straight, in spite the chill racing through her body.
Oboy, it's happening.
The Sharif continued, "A very important personage will be visiting the city in a few months. She is in possession of an item I need, and is willing to trade. She has requested the services of a skilled dancer for the meeting. Her specific wish is that the dancer perform the Seven Veils. There is another service implied. The personage informed me further information on that will be sent ahead of her arrival.
Whereas it will be several months until then, that will be plenty of time to prepare. I have engaged the services of a former professional dancer and teacher. She was a legend in her day. You will attend daily sessions with her beginning tomorrow."
Tersicia Caleron was a dark elf from the Aelin-dor (Lake Province) in Surtur. In her youth she'd danced for the best, and taken even more to bed. She'd forgotten more about sensual and erotic dance than any in the harem could never hope to learn.
Definitely not a stripper pole dancer,
Sara would quickly find.
Caleron immediately put Sara on an exercise regimen to get her back to dancing fitness.
"Yeah, it's been awhile," thought Sara, nursing her aching muscles after the first day. She'd looked great, yes, but between the dungeons and the harem, she lost some of her athleticism and tone.
I'm a bit out of shape.
Caleron's sessions brought her back to the energy she'd displayed on the stage. The lessons began shortly after.
It was easy to learn the moves of the Seven Veils, but the sensual and erotic nuances proved challenging.
"Imagine yourself as a succulent fruit," Caleron said. "Something so tempting, so sweet, so deep in color, your watcher would sell his very soul to have you. Then, make it clear with your dance that, however much he wants, he cannot have. You are unattainable, unapproachable."
The lessons continued in the months leading to the visit. Caleron was critical, but not in such fashion as to destroy her confidence. She pointed out the many moves she did wrong, and the few she did right.
As the time approached, the balance shifted, gradually, until Sara performed more right moves than not.
"How is she coming along?" asked the Sharif at a meeting.
"She is... adequate," replied Caleron. "How adequate for your purposes is questionable."
Farid smiled. Adequate, to Svartalfheim's greatest dancer, was better than good by other standards.
Two days before the guest's arrival, Sara was called to the Sharif.
"There is news," he said. "The guest has sent a courier with further instructions. I will get to the point. The service is sexual, as you have guessed, obviously.
The name of the guest is Amara Zayn. You have not heard of her, I assume. She is one of the wealthiest traders across the realms, and an extraordinarily powerful sorceress.
