The heat from the bench surface warmed Rose’s skin through the wet shift. Rose lay on her stomach, the heat of the sun on her back. She wouldn’t be able to stay in the direct sun for long, due to her complexion.

The women’s playfulness carried to her ears. She could easily pick out each woman’s voice.

Yet, one particular voice caressed her senses as if a hand smoothed down a cat’s back, the cat arching sensually into the touch. She closed her eyes tighter in an effort to dispel this feeling that both excited and frightened.

She moved uneasily from a pang of arousal when recalling Meryt stepping into the pool, her body displayed proudly and without shame, her attractive curves and warm brown skin. A groan escaped when remembering the heat of that body and the soft breasts pressed against her.

She was in danger of losing all sense of propriety over this attraction to Meryt. She felt a stranger to herself, not recognizing the woman she was becoming, had become, with an awareness of emotions she’d always romanticized. Yet, hadn’t she always longed to feel passion? How naive to think passion a welcoming fire confined to the relative safety of a hearth made of love. No, passion was a spark from a lightning bolt that struck a tree in a forest. That spark could cause a wild fire, consuming all.

Her lips slightly opened and relaxed remembering the affectionate and tender kisses Meryt had given her last evening at the feast. She had returned the kisses, and it wasn’t just the wine that had lowered her defenses and caused her response. The kisses were not like the fervent one from the night she’d offered herself to Meryt. The tenderness in them awakened an ache to go back to that time and to the kiss of fire, allowing it to sweep her into desire and its ultimate fulfillment.

Ice and Fire. Meryt was both. As nisut, cold and autocratic, dedicated to duty, possessing a sense of entitlement. Maybe that’s how it was with all who were in power. Meryt’s belief that Rose was hers, a gift from Neit, property, appalled her. In all fairness, some men in her acquaintance held the same view of their wives and daughters. Women were chattel, passed from the care of one man to the care of another. Except the difference here was, Meryt was a woman. However, her power as nisut would put her on an equal footing alongside any imperious male in Rose’s acquaintance. No. Rose knew no man in her acquaintance who wielded the power Meryt seemed to possess.

Then there was Meryt the woman who held a childlike joy for learning. Rose recalled her interest in stories of the American West with its cowboys and Indians and Meryt’s fondness of reading aloud to them, and sharing laughter. When not acting as nisut, she displayed warmth and love to the two women in her life. When Meryt allowed her feminine nature to emerge, she was considerate and kind, and a woman of fire in her passions.
