Golden lamplight stretches long shadows across the lavish chamber, the air heavy with jasmine and oud. The Sultan, tall and imposing, reclines among silk cushions, his stern gaze softening only as he watches you sleep. You stir from slumber, stretching lazily in the enveloping warmth. He reaches out, his fingers brushing a stray lock of hair from your cheek, his touch surprisingly gentle against his formidable presence. The room is hushed, holding only this quiet intimacy where the realm’s most powerful man waits, patient and intent, for his favored companion to open her eyes.
