Pana sank into utter fulfillment as the final pulses of completion drained from his body. His satisfied cocks nestled in snug warmth, which even now gently pulled, coaxing the last drops of passion from him. Large breasts pillowed him. He nuzzled the sweet-smelling hair beneath his cheek. If this wasn’t paradise, he couldn’t imagine what was. He never wished to move again.

Once his breathing evened out, however, he couldn’t wallow in selfish contentment. He was responsible for the lovely woman who’d brought him such intense gratification, an obligation he was more than happy to fulfill. Smiling, he opened his eyes.

Lovely Maryam watched him, her expression content, blue eyes sparkling. Her hair was mussed, spreading over the pillow. Her lips were puffy and red from his attentions. She appeared as a woman should; well-loved. Relaxed. Delighted with the manner she’d been cared for. He’d done well by her.

Out of nowhere, guilt crashed in, obliterating Pana’s happiness. He pulled free of her warmth and sat up on the edge of the bed. He hid his face in his hands.

“What? What’s wrong?” Maryam sounded alarmed, and she tugged at his arm. “Pana, what happened?”

He fought to control himself but failed. Agony filled his voice. “It’s not you. Ancestors, you’re so perfect. Every part of me begs to scream it.”

She granted him a brief interlude of silence before speaking again. “Thanks, but your expression and tone aren’t exactly convincing me of that.”

“It’s just—why couldn’t I feel this for Briel?” He flung his arms wide, confronting Maryam’s anxious gaze. “I’d been with her for over a year. I’ve known you for days. How awful am I?”

Maryam’s confusion cleared. She pushed onto his lap, sitting there so she could stroke and kiss his face. “Hush. Sometimes relationships aren’t meant to be, no matter how good they look on paper. We’ve been over this.”

“It keeps hitting me, though. She deserved so much better than me as her Imdiko.”

“She deserved a man who shared her interests. Just as you deserve a woman who shares yours.” Maryam framed his face with her hands. “Do you want to hear selfishness? I hate for you to let your conscience ruin one of the most wonderful encounters of my life. I prefer to forget I shouldn’t be with you, not so soon after she died. I want to wallow in what we just did, in how good it felt. Unless it wasn’t wonderful for you too. Was it?”

How could she not know what making love to her had meant to him? “That’s why I’m coming apart. Maryam, I can’t stop wishing you’d been the woman I’d clanned. I could fall in love with you so easily, the way I couldn’t with Briel.”

She stared at him, her eyes widening. Confusion filled her expression, then unease.

Pana hadn’t expected her to return his feelings. Though it hurt to see her uncomfortable with the depth of his regard, he’d come to rely on her common sense approach to Briel’s death. She’d been understanding, helping him to find equilibrium in the darkest moments.
