Thanaj answered him with a wistful smile. "She would have welcomed you, even as I do." Later, he showed Erred a miniature painted on ivory which he kept in a casket that traveled with him. Such portraits, rendered in the highly stylized Tajhaani fashion, were so homogenous as to be of no help at all, but Erred complimented the lady's beauty as he was expected to do.

The house occupied two stories, its double wings divided by a garden of fruit trees and fountains. Erred knew that Thanaj's two lesser wives dwelt here, but only the household stewards were on hand to greet the High Prince's party. Refreshments were served in an atrium floored with mosaics. A leisurely hour passed in the garden before eunuchs came to lead the guests up to their rooms.

Erred was situated in a chamber decorated in the Juvan style, with stars painted on a deep blue ceiling and a bed of gilded ebony spread with fine wool and skins. His chest was brought in and the first thing he did was to unpack the silver Lady and basin, setting them in a corner beneath a panel depicting a bird-headed goddess.

In another room, a bath was drawn for him. The tiles around the sunken tub were set like flowered jewels in the marble floor, and just beyond were carpets and a raised couch where a bather could enjoy the ministrations of the household masseuse. Shelves held linen towels, combs, and phials of precious oils. After days of having been denied such luxuries, Erred sank into the warm, scented water with a sigh and let Khasi wash his hair; he closed his eyes to better enjoy the sensation of the man's long fingers caressing his scalp.

Halfway through, Thanaj appeared, undressed and stepped into the pool. "I will do that for you," he said, dismissing the servant, "and you will do the same for me."

Erred waded out to the center of the pool and took the soap Thanaj handed him. He worked the sweet-smelling lather over Thanaj's chest as the prince leaned forward and began kissing his neck and shoulders. "I have been days without your body," he growled, "and I cannot wait any longer."

The soap slid from Erred's hands and fell to the bottom of the pool as their lips met. Fingers reached down to fondle his member and tease it to full erection; his ragged gasps were swallowed by Thanaj's mouth. Powerful arms encircled him and, lifting him out of the water, laid him down on the raffia mat at the lip of the pool. Erred felt the mat's rough fibers dig into his back as his lover's weight pinned him down. Thanaj locked their legs together and began to grind against him. Erred cried out at the friction their bodies created. Thanaj buried his face in his neck, nuzzling the damp skin as he reached his climax.

Once his breath returned, Thanaj carefully shifted off Erred's body. "Well," he chuckled, "now we shall need another bath."

That evening
