Free Dangerous Love by Stephanie Radcliff Page B

closest friends and were glad to see the Pharaoh happy.
    She gently interrupted her servant’s brushing and turned around, pulling the young girl in between her legs. Looking up into her blushing face, she said, “I know they’re only trying to help, but it gets very tiring when they’re arguing all the time.”
    The servant girl rested her arms on the Pharaoh’s shoulders, secretly happy to be held like that. It always amazed her how fortunate her life became ever since moving to the strange land of Khemet. Smiling down at her Pharaoh, she replied, “I know, my lady. How would you like to take a bath?”
    “With you?” came the immediate response from her. A wicked grin spread over her face as her servant girl’s blush intensified and she chuckled when the young girl shyly nodded. She really was too adorable for her own good.
    The two wandered off to take a bath, their arms still around each other. That night they spent exploring each other’s bodies and learning new things they didn’t know. Both guards outside the door coughed discretely at the sounds of pleasure coming from behind the door. Their Pharaoh certainly had a talent with making other women feel good.
    The sunlight found the Pharaoh wide awake and preparing for the day. She was sitting at the small table with make-up, patiently letting her servant girl line her eyes with kohl. There was a lot she would have to do that day, and she was already feeling the weight of it all. If only she could just fast forward to that night when she could return to her bed, she thought… Unfortunately the Gods were not so kind to her and she sighed heavily.
    “Patience is a virtue, my Pharaoh,” her servant girl said with a patient smile. Her Pharaoh never did like the duties she had to perform, but it was part of the job description. Luckily she would one day join the realm of the Gods and could rule an eternal land of peace and prosperity. She herself would be lucky to even be considered to go to the Field of Reeds. Perhaps if Ma’at found her soul innocent of her mistakes in life, she would be able to join her beloved Pharaoh, but she wasn’t sure.
    “I know, my dear ,” she replied with a heavy sigh. She barely moved as she waited for the young girl to finish. When she did, she stood up and set the heavy crown back on her head, wincing slightly as it caught on her hair. Tying her cape around her shoulders she heaved a heavy sigh and said, “Let’s go.”
    The day passed by quickly, much to the Pharaoh’s enjoyment. Before she even knew it, the time for the ritual was upon them and she headed toward the temple dressed in her ritual clothes. It would only be her, the temple Priestesses, and her servant girl. Her servant girl was there mainly to fetch things they would need for the ritual. Normally it would just be the Pharaoh and the Priestesses, but this ritual involved fresh ingredients that needed to be collected minutes before the ritual began. Which is why her servant girl was allowed to be there.
    The Pharaoh walked into the temple, the guards standing outside of it as the young girl followed in behind her. The two Priestesses stood in t he entrance to the inner temple, waiting patiently for her to arrive. They bowed low to her when she walked in and said, “We thank you my Pharaoh for choosing our temple for the ritual tonight.”
    “Yours was the only one that I actually felt comfortable with,” she replied as the four of them walked into the inner chamber. It was bare except for a small altar and most of the items for the ritual. The Pharaoh began to strip off her clothing in preparation for the ritual as she nodded at her servant girl. The young girl bowed and left the room to gather the ingredients that needed to be fresh. By the time she got back, the Pharaoh was completely naked and covered in marks made of red ochre mixed with water. The Priestesses took the ingredients from her and began the ritual.
