My Lord," or, "Yes, My Lady." And we had been given express commands and sent now and then to do
errands unaccompanied. Tristan had even conversed at length with his cherished master, Nicolas.
But we had been warned before we ever left the Queen's domain that these servants of the Sultan would
treat us as if we were mute animals. Even if we could understand their strange foreign tongue, they would
never speak to us. And in the Sultan's land any lowly pleasure slave who attempted speech would merit
immediate and severe punishment.
The warnings had been borne out. All during the voyage, we had been petted, stroked, pinched, and
guided about in tender and condescending silence.
When, out of desperation and boredom, Princess Elena had spoken aloud, begging to be let out of the
cage, she had been quickly gagged, her ankles and wrists bound against the small of her back, her
undulating body suspended on a chain from the cabin ceiling. And there she remained, the attendants
scowling at her in shock and outrage, until she had given up her vain and muffled protests.
And how kindly and carefully she had been taken down afterwards. Her silent lips had been kissed, her
hurting wrists and ankles oiled until the red marks of the leather cuffs were gone from them.
The young silk-robed boys had even brushed her sleek brown hair and massaged her buttocks and back
with their strong fingers, as if such irascible little beasts as we must be soothed in this manner. Of course,
they had stopped soon enough when they realized the soft shadow of brown curly hair between Elena's
legs was moist, and that she could not help but move her hips against the silk of the grooming mattress,
so excited was she by their touch.
With little scolding gestures and shakes of the head, they had made her kneel up, holding her wrists again
as they fitted her little vagina with its inflexible metal covering, the chains coming round her thighs and
quickly clasped tight. Then she had been put in her cage, arms and legs tied to the bars with thick satin
ribbons.
Yet this display of passion had not angered them. On the contrary, they had stroked her wet sex before
covering it, smiling at her as if to approve her heat, her need. Yet all the moaning in the world had not
brought mercy from them.
And the rest of us had only watched in lustful silence, our own starved organs pulsing vainly. I wanted to
climb into her cage and tear off the little shield of gold mesh and stab my cock in the wet little nest made
for it. I wanted to open her mouth with my tongue. l wanted to squeeze her heavy breasts in my hands,
suckle the small coral-colored nipples, and see her flushed red with throbbing pleasure as I rode her to
the finish. But these were but painful dreams. Elena and I could only look at each other, as I hoped in
silence that sooner or later we might be allowed the ecstasy of each other's arms.
The dainty little Beauty was also most intriguing, and the buxom Rosalynd with her big mournful eyes
absolutely luscious, but it was Elena who was full of cleverness and dark disdain for what had befallen us.
During our whispered talks, she laughed at our fate, tossing her heavy brown hair over her shoulder as
she spoke.
"Who has ever had three such marvelous choices, Laurent?" she asked. "The Sultan's palace, the village,
the castle. I tell you, in any one I can find delights to suit me."
"But, darling, you don't know what it will be like in the Sultan's palace," I said. "The Queen had
