Tharin was looking out over the harbor, clearly relaxed and enjoying the interesting view. The women were all huddled up in a tight group, on benches,...on the other side of the tower in low conversations.Mercedes seemed settled with no sign of tears, the recent drama on the dock forgotten. The women smirked at my arrival; they rose and gestured for me to approach. I could sense Derwen was up to something, trying to keep her face straight with an air of normalcy. Swarta guided Grimm to help her. At the end of the day we arranged to get together for dinner and drinks in our hotel later that evening.Of course Anne went out of her way dressing for dinner and I have to admit she looked a knockout when she was finished looking sexy without going overboard her low cut red dress looked perfect for dinner in a top restaurant. In the hotel cocktail bar Brett did a double take as she walked into the room along with a couple of other guys, on reaching him Anne gave him a welcome kiss and led us. The pharaoh and I were helped into our respective quarters and tended by too damned many servants. I don't know what Alquot did, but I chased everybody but Sally out of my cabin while I tried to calm down from the ordeal. It took nearly an hour of shaking and hugging Sally for me to calm down enough to eat a bit of fruit. I quit trying to eat at that point because I nearly vomited, but I got myself under control well enough to answer a summons from the pharaoh's chambers.I had to lean on the. Our lips were so close I could feel her breath on my face. I longed to kiss her; feel her lips on mine and to taste her sweet mouth. I turned to lead her towards my office at the back of the shop. I indicated the chair just in front of my desk. She sat down; waiting for me to, also, settle down in my seat. I looked through her CV, checking that her qualifications matched up to the job description. I began to find it difficult to concentration, her presence was that strong. My thoughts.
