“This was different, sis.” shamise turned toward sajira to explain herself. “If She could have cleared the room, dismissed us and fucked Him on the spot, She would have. i guess i'm used to Goddess being a little more disciplined, even in the audience of a man as fine as Him. Hell, i've seen Her keep Her composure around men finer than Him.”

Damn, I hated when my Alpha slave knew me as well as shamise did. The unfortunate part was she was right.

I kissed shamise across her forehead and then across her lips. “shamise, you're right, I didn't carry myself in a manner that you
are used to. But even you had to admit that man was gorgeous, baby girl.”

shamise tried her best to keep from grinning before her lips parted and she had to fan herself for a moment. She looked up at me with a guilt written all over her face. “Okay, yes, He was fine as fuck, if You don't mind me saying so, my Goddess. To be honest, i tried to keep from staring at him the whole time, but He only had eyes for You.”

sajira chimed, “Now that You mentioned it, my Goddess, He did seem like He was fixated on You, even though the other women around Him tried their best to get His attention.”

Under normal circumstances, I would have taken that information as an immediate red flag, with the intent to dismiss him as a stalker. But I wanted to at least have a conversation with him to see if my suspicions were justified or if there might have been something more to discover.

One thing was for certain, whether I wanted to admit it or not.

He had my curiosity and my attention, but both were very hard to keep.

The beauty of having a privately owned island was the ability to do whatever you wanted, and when it came to my Beloved and me and the things we tended to come up with, the word “whatever” could be one helluva feat.

I was grateful for the solitude for a couple of hours. shamise was coordinating things for the entertainers tonight, sajira was tied up taking care of some things for the other compounds in the States via video conferencing, and amani had to tend to a slight emergency
involving heatstroke with the medical team. With Ramesses still caught up in tours for the remainder of the afternoon, I was alone to indulge and, to be blunt, I needed to come.

As I rubbed suntan lotion into my skin, thoughts of the mysterious stranger began to flood my mind. I preferred to tan nude, and since I didn't have to worry about whether or not it was illegal, I allowed my body to relax while I welcomed the lustful thoughts that invaded my mind. The sun was hot on my bronzed skin as I untied my bikini top and massaged suntan lotion into my breasts.

I lay back while enjoying the sounds of the ocean and felt the breeze caress my body, covering my face with my wide-brimmed sun hat and sunglasses to prevent a headache I knew would hit me if I didn't take precautions. I imagined the breeze was the stranger's hands, caressing and molesting me, and I moved my hips in flow with the wind, enjoying the burn from the sun's rays licking my flesh. My mind slipped into a deeper zone, imagining the sun's rays were my Beloved's hands, making my pussy moisten with desire.

I moaned, my sounds mingling with the crashing of the waves and the rustling of the trees, not wanting this pseudo-threesome to end any time soon. I grabbed for my two-headed bullet, slipping one egg-shaped node in my ass and the other inside my walls. The moment I turned the remote on, the familiar vibrations sent shockwaves through my clit, mercilessly coursing through my body, and I loved every minute of it.

“Damn, fuck My ass, Daddy,” I whispered. I wasn't ready to shout because my body wasn't there yet. I reached out in my mind's eye to feel his dick inside of my anal tract, feeling so slick and wet that it could have felt like he was in my pussy. I rolled and grinded my hips, imagining he was under me, with my wetness exposed for anyone to come in and take my other hole.

I imagined the stranger coming in and sliding right in, envisioning his girth filling me up, pumping me from the top as my Beloved pumped me from underneath me, bringing me closer to an orgasm that would be so intense that I knew I would pass out.

“Oh fuck, give it to Me! I'm almost there!” My breathing shortened and my nipples were fully engorged. I almost pleaded with my body to let me enter into the blissful paradise, so I could completely release every ounce of energy into the air. “Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck!”

A few moments later, I was in the throes of a full-body orgasm as my vibrator continued to prolong the trip, sending me deeper into a state of intemperate passion, my voice letting loose a sequence of unintelligible words and phrases I didn't care if anyone heard or could make sense of.

By the time my body expended its energy, I was completely spent with a slick grin on my face. I couldn't help myself. It had been so long since I'd had a fantasy that intense that I didn't notice the towel I lay on was soaked in blood. Damn! It must have snuck in on me this time around because I had been so sexually active the past few days with Ramesses before we got down here and then playing with the girls and amani.

I quickly gathered my things and rushed into the hut to clean myself up, pissed that the fun I knew I would have this week would be stunted by my period.

What a time for this bitch to show up!

FOUR
NEFERTERRI

“I'm so pissed I want to scream!”

I sat on the balcony of the family hut, which wasn't far from the main building, with sajira and shamise, venting my frustration over having to deal with my period a week earlier than expected. I had planned with Ramesses and the girls to make sure that we all were safe from dealing with that bitch while working through the grand opening week.

“Goddess, You know how it goes, if You don't mind me saying.” sajira worked on my lower back while shamise worked on my thighs and lower legs, which I knew would be the first things hurting when my cycle started. “We planned it as best we could, and to be honest, I am spotting a little bit, and i'm not thrilled about it, either.”

I didn't want to admit it out loud, but I took some solace that at least one of my girls might have been on the verge of going through the same thing as I was. shamise actually had her tubes tied years ago because she had no desires to have children of her own, which was why our children loved “Auntie ‘mise” so much. Not that they didn't love “Auntie ‘jira” as much, but shamise had been around the kids since they were toddlers.

From the energy I felt sajira putting into the massage she was giving me, I could tell something wasn't right with her, either.

“Okay, little one, speak. I know something's wrong because your
energy has changed,” I commanded. “And don't say ‘it's nothing, Goddess,' either, or you'll put Me in a very bad mood. Considering I'm already going through it with My cycle, you might want to put some thought into your response.”

sajira hesitated for a second before the emotions poured out of her. “It's the same conversation we've been having for the past year, Goddess, but i didn't want to burden You with it anymore. Ice is becoming more difficult by the month, especially now that shamise is living with us.”

I exhaled. Ice had been becoming more difficult by the moment, and it seemed that no one could redirect his focus. He'd been especially disobedient and insubordinate toward Ramesses and me lately, to the point to where I had to break him down to his knees in front of his Mistress, Sinsual, to get him to calm down on the home front. His and Ramesses's relationship had deteriorated to where he no longer even came over on their traditional Poker nights to hang with Jay and the rest of the crew.

At the rate he was heading, he would find himself on the outside looking in if he wasn't careful. Sin's patience was at its limit, and she had privately confided in me that she was on the verge of releasing him if his behavior didn't improve. He even insisted on being called by his slave name, lynx, almost full time now, with the only exception being when we were in our swingers' circles, and he withdrew from that scene the moment Sin took him as her property.

I knew Sin, and she didn't take kindly to her submissives embarrassing her when they were not with her. tiger, her Alpha slave, understood that from the beginning, and even he was becoming disenchanted with lynx also. I secretly wondered if tiger were simply trying to figure out what he could get out of his interaction and
training of his brother submissive, otherwise, he would have whispered in his Mistress's ear months ago to find a way to release him.

This entire situation began to wear on both of our girls, and while Ramesses and I offered to move them to our old house, sajira was insistent upon trying to work things out with her husband. shamise did not want to abandon her sister, as she had become accustomed to living with her, despite the negative energy resonating through the house. They even stopped having sex after sajira was collared last year, which seemed to concern sajira more than it did lynx. His only concern was pleasing his Mistress from then on, which was funny to me because his actions were definitely contrary to what pleased Sin.

As long as lynx wasn't verbally or physically abusive, Ramesses and I maintained our distance while keeping a close eye on his interactions whenever we were at NEBU or when we were at different functions in other parts of the city. In my heart, I'd hoped he came to his senses and realized he's hurting his wife, but at the same time, there was no other way to really make him see unless sajira left him.

The last thing either of us wanted to do was issue a directive, but enough was enough.

“sajira, you know your Daddy and I love you, but there's only so much we can take watching you go through this.” I turned around and caressed her cheek, making sure she maintained eye contact with me. “Compromise takes two people, baby girl, and he's no longer willing to be the other party in this.”

“Goddess, i know, but it's so hard to let him go.” sajira fell to her knees, clutching my thigh as tears began to fall. “i still love him, but i also know he's being a bit ridiculous also. i want to strangle him sometimes because i know this is not the man i married.”

“Sis, sometimes things run their course, you know?” shamise didn't want to put the possibility of divorce out in the universe for consumption. “i know it's not something you wanna think about, but the way he has been acting at home—”

shamise's thoughts were interrupted by a series of knocks that made us jump. The urgency of the knocking had us all on edge.

I walked toward the door, picking up my Glock 19 along the way as the knocking got louder and more intense by the moment.

I swung the door open and pointed the gun in the same motion, intent on scaring the person on the other side of the door. The barrel of the gun landed squarely between the eyes of lynx, whose angry scowl turned into trepidation quickly upon seeing the shiny piece of metal in my hand.

“I
know
your Mistress taught you better than this, slave.” The irritation in my voice was not lost on him, and he immediately dropped to his knees, realizing I was not to be trifled with. “To what do we owe the honor of your, shall we say, visit?”

“i wish to see my wife.” lynx's eyes continued to focus on the barrel. He never looked up in my direction, realizing that transgression would compound the issue that he had already placed himself in. I was irritated by the fact that he had to be reminded of his place and protocol.

“I assume you want to try that again, slave?” I cocked a bullet into the chamber to emphasize his need to repeat himself with the respect he was taught.

Watching the barrel trained between his eyes, lynx dropped to his knees and dropped his head. His eyes were cast downward. He opened his palms at his knees and asked again, “Lady Neferterri, this slave would respectfully request to see his wife, if You have finished with her at this time?”

“That's better, slave.” I lowered my gun as shamise and sajira walked up behind me. sajira's face twisted when she saw her husband on the ground. I know she hated seeing him like that, but if he was gonna play games, he was gonna play by my rules, even if it killed him. “sajira, baby, go take care of business with your husband; we'll be in the main building taking care of tonight's entertainment.”
