I do not think the Izmir will ever know."
Blade nodded and smiled. He guided her to the bed and sat beside her. "That
may be as well. But how does it go? What of your friend Stel? And how goes it
with the guard Ramsus?"
Valli by now had regained her composure. She smoothed her hair and leaned ever
so slightly against Blade, so that her breasts brushed his bare chest. She was
now, Blade thought with a little sense of shock, ten years younger than he was
and very lovely, and it was incredible that she had once played mother to him,
that he had once suckled those well-formed breasts that he might live. Beneath

the cloth his penis began to stir.
"I no longer lie with Ramsus," Valli said. "It is not necessary now and I
never liked him. He pursues me, but I keep to the harem and he cannot get at
me. As for
Stel, she is mad with jealousy and curses herself for a fool. She wishes now
that she had been kind to the god who came as a babe. She regrets the reward
that she would have had."
"Reward," said Blade. "Ah, yes. That. I promised you, Valli, did I not?"
She lowered her eyes and did not look at him. "I want no reward, Blade, other
than what you promised. A child."
"I remember, Valli. And it shall be arranged. But first I wish to talk of
other things. To explain why I have sent for you and "
Valli moved closer to him. Her voice firmed and she looked at him and there
was determination in the dark, liquid eyes.
"Can we not talk later, Blade? Now you must understand I want a child. Your
child!"
By now Blade was fully tumescent and the cloth that covered him was bulging.
Valli cast a glance downward and smiled. She put her hand on him gently.
"You see, Blade. You are ready. You desire me as I desire you. So am I to beg?
You did promise, you know, and, though I doubted then, I do not doubt now. You
are a god, no matter how you deny it, and the child I have will be the child
of a god.
Please, Blade. I implore you. Keep your promise."
Blade was lost. Indeed, as he drew her to him and kissed her, he wondered if
this had not been in his mind all along. He did have a task for Valli, but had
it not been secondary? Had he not from the very first, even with his infantile
penis, wanted this girl? For that was what she was a girl. No mother to him
now. Nothing of incest here. He realized then, as he and Valli rolled over on
the bed, that he had not yet shaken the mores of Home Dimension completely.
Like shackles, some habits of thought persisted. He would have to do better,
get completely free, if he meant to survive in Zir.
Valli, as a harem woman, had been well schooled in all the arts of love. Even
had
Blade not known this he would soon have guessed that, ever since she had been
old enough to understand, she had been learning the ways in which men are best
pleased. Her kisses were sweet and her tongue made of honey. She soon took
command and, gentle-voiced, bade Blade relax and let her minister to him. And
in exciting him who needed little urging, she soon excited herself.
She laved his big body with her tongue and her fingers were agile and knowing.
She directed where his hands should go and what they should do. She drew it
out and out and out, to such excruciating length of ecstasy, that Blade
sworled in passion and began to think he would go mad. Always, when making
love, he sought to keep a portion of his mind cool and detached, but with
Valli it did not work. She took complete charge of him, she consumed him, and
when she mounted him at last and was panting toward climax, all sweet
sweat-covered, it took all his willpower to force her over and take command as
he liked to do. As he insisted he do. He went into a flurry of brutal last
strokes, pounding and pounding away, and then he moaned as she screamed and
they collapsed into exhaustion.
Valli was first to break the silence. She touched his face with her fingers
and whispered, "Ah, Blade. Blade! That was a baby. I know it. I feel it. You
spewed a fountain into me and of it will come a child. I thank you. I will
have your child, and who is to say that he will not also be a god."
It was some time before he could control his breathing well enough to speak.
Then he said, "I hope so, Valli. If that is what you want."
She clung to him. "It is what I want. And you will stay in Zir, Blade? You

will not go away? You have power now and you will not let them kill this child
as they did my first?"
Blade could not promise this and knew it and yet he could not bring himself to
hurt or worry her. So he lied.
"I will remain. I will protect your child, if indeed you have one." He laughed
and kissed her tenderly. "You are getting a little ahead of things, you know.
Imagining.
One time in bed does not always make a child and you cannot know " [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
